Frankly, Feng was puzzled as to why they would ask him directly to join Yingland, especially Amelia. Where this woman's persistence lay baffled him. Was it because of that ridiculous contract of a kiss? After all, there was no need for a goddess from Yingland to cling to me, a nobody.

Unexpectedly, from the moment Feng took the stage to the moment he left it, Amelia never paid any attention to him. She didn't even glance in his direction once, giving Feng the false impression that she was merely going through the motions.

By now, the list of people scheduled to take the transport shuttle to Big Macs had been finalized. This includes Amelia and a total of 132 people, comprising 105 crew members and 27 key personnel.

Veterans flying the route knew well that there were no space pirates nearby, so escort ships weren't necessary. The small warp points were occasionally unstable, causing minor deviations in the trajectory with a small probability. As long as coordinates were corrected in time, there was no need for undue worry.

One day, within a martial arts group in Wind Thunder, Zhang Xiaobo was engaging in an impassioned conversation about Star Wars with Elvis. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

As the door opened, a very quiet-looking girl came into view. She had light pink hair and the colorful iridescent eyes common to New Humans. This beauty was universally recognized as a good girl in the Martial Arts Hall and also the obedient granddaughter of Grandmaster Gandalf. Zhang Xiaobo was stunned, "E...E...Emily...?"

"Ah? Xiao Bo, it's been a while." Emily was also surprised to see Zhang Xiaobo.

"It...It's been a while." Xiao Bo scratched his head in confusion, "Hey, that's not the point. Why are you here?"

"Of course...to see you all. I've been asking around for a long time before I found this place. Wait, is Wei Wei still not around?"

"Sister Wei isn't around. She usually only comes back when the club meets in the evening."

"Hey, tubby, who's this beauty? Introduce her to your brother." Elvis chimed in.

"Go away, can't you see she's busy?" The tubby man turned to Emily. "You probably don't know it yet, but the little rascal Feng Yi is also with Wind Thunder."

Emily's face wore a serene smile. She didn't confirm or deny it. With excitement and hesitation, running into Zhang Xiaobo was not something she had expected. She knew Sheng Qiangwei was here, but she hadn't expected Zhang Xiaobo to be here too. This posed a bit of a problem.

Given Zhang Xiaobo's propensity for gossip, he would definitely tell Feng Yi about her visit. And with Feng Yi's intelligence, her hidden identity could easily be exposed. Emily chuckled and professed that she was here with Yingland to see some old friends. She hoped that after she left, he would not tell Feng Yi about her visit. And then, they made a pinky promise...

Under Emily's compulsive request, the chubby man felt chilled to the bone. He tearfully and loudly swore that he would keep his blabbermouth shut. So, please just let him be. The embarrassing action of making a pinky promise should be stopped right away. Even though he agreed, he was utterly confused, he simply couldn't get the hang of it.

Since they made a pact to keep her secret, he will keep it. No one can refuse Emily. It was like this back in the Martial Arts Hall, and it's the same after leaving the Martial Arts Hall.

Seeing Zhang Xiaobo's concession, Emily happily left the room.

As she left the room, Emily's smile gradually faded, and she let out a long, melancholic sigh. The battlefield meant bloodshed, and she cared about Feng Yi. Hence, she didn't want him to go to the front lines. That's why she appeared before him as Emily. But her attempt to convince him to drop out failed. It seemed like Feng didn't care about all these. What did he care about then?

Having interacted with Feng Yi, she had some understanding of him. If she, as Xiao Ai, had faced him, she might have provoked the opposite reaction. Hence, she had done her best to portray herself as an antagonistic character. It was better to be straightforward and talk about the secrets of the Shadow Riders.

Following the victory in the military confrontation, everything suddenly seemed unnecessary. She had quite some influence in Yingland, and no one would say anything if she specifically recruited someone. But Feng Yi didn't return to Yingland. Instead, she found herself in Wind Thunder.

In order to specifically recruit Feng Yi, Yingland reluctantly accepted her absurd request to accompany the transport shuttle to Big Macs under her insistence. This was Yingland's maximum compromise towards her school performance. Perhaps it was the last glimmer of hope.

Whether Feng Yi hated her or not didn't matter. But suddenly, Amelia felt her actions were somewhat superfluous. Had she been too selfish? To someone who grew up in a harsh environment, perhaps the battlefield wasn't such a bad place.

Inside the Wind Thunder Military Base, a hundred-meter-long A-level shuttle was ready for takeoff. About 20 minutes after the transporter loaded the last container onto the shuttle, the shuttle slowly ascended.

Although there were supposed to be over a hundred staffers on the shuttle, in reality, only a third of them were on duty. The rest were all on rotating shifts.

Interstellar travel was boring and tedious. In their spare time, soldiers were passing the time in various ways. Many of them gathered to play cards or watch programs. The internal atmosphere of the shuttle heading to Big Macs was quite lively.

Actually, the logistics troops were a loose congregation of soldiers. Despite their grand appearance and strict military bearing before takeoff, this was all for show. Feng Yi remembered clearly that, not even five minutes after takeoff, the Major responsible for transportation said, "Space travel is fraught with danger. Everyone needs to stay alert. Dismissed," before retreating into his room. Nobody knew what he was up to. They had been gazing at the beauty of space for quite a while, and he still hadn't shown up.

Feng Yi was also restless. Apart from when the shuttle first took off, he stood stationary for several hours to take in the magnificent scene, he was wandering around the shuttle aimlessly like an idle person, occasionally watching the others play cards, then checking a Wei-Ch'i game.

On the other hand, Amelia was unusually calm. With her hair done up and her delicate face bearing a remotely smiling expression, she gave off an aloof aura.

In the lounge, the gym, no matter where Feng Yi went, she would follow him a short while later, maintaining a certain distance and casually leaning against the corner of the room. Occasionally, she would glance at the crowd, then look at him with contemplative eyes ...

Feng Yi was speechless. He decided to ignore her. Instead, he noticed an old man in uniform without a military rank, pouring drinks for himself and appearing quite merry.

Confused, Feng Yi took out a bottle of fine liquor from his Space Crystal and placed it on the table. "May I take a seat?"

The old man glanced at Feng Yi, then at the liquor, and raised an eyebrow. "This liquor isn't cheap. Come, have a seat."

This bottle of wine was purchased by Feng Yi at an exhibition in Sky City. Its price was of course not cheap. However, he was puzzled as to how this skinny old man could tell it was good wine from its unremarkable packaging. Not wanting to be rude, Feng Yi said he would sit and, without hesitation, poured himself a full glass.
