Chapter 596: Reunion with Alysha and Tina
Chapter 596: Reunion with Alysha and Tina
Alysha noticed Tina’s awkwardness behind her. So, she took the initiative to step away from Su Yu, then reached out to pull Tina beside her. The three of them stood in an equilateral triangle.
Over the past few years, Alysha and Tina had been through a lot together, and they had become close sisters. Alysha didn’t want to make her sister feel left out.
The only problem was that both she and Tina had fallen for the same person, and there was no way to split their hearts evenly. This situation was truly a headache.
Kitten Morningstar also sensed the awkward tension between the three. However, there was little she could do to resolve it; she was just a cute, harmless little kitten.
She jumped down from Su Yu’s shoulder and leaped into Alysha’s arms, saying, "Alysha, it’s been so long! Has managing the kingdom been tough on you lately?"
Alysha caught Morningstar and smiled, "Managing the kingdom isn’t too difficult, especially with Tina’s help. But wait, Morningstar! What happened to your wounds?"
Alysha was startled; she had just noticed the unhealed wounds on Morningstar’s body.
Tina also shifted her gaze from Su Yu to Morningstar, her eyes filled with concern.
"It’s nothing," Morningstar waved her paw casually. "Krypton and I had a big fight with a god-level opponent on the Skrull planet. I got a bit injured, but these wounds aren’t fatal. Krypton’s avatar is already gathering Star Realm energy, and it won’t take long for me to recover!"
As she spoke, a bright blue, palm-sized portal suddenly appeared near her tail.
moments later, a pale blue, egg-sized orb flew out of the portal and landed beside Morningstar.
This pale blue orb was formed from the Star Realm energy that Su Yu’s avatar had gathered after defeating fifty Star Realm Rats.
Morningstar didn’t hesitate.
Chomp—
She swallowed the orb whole.
As soon as the orb was in her stomach, a surge of dense Star Realm energy spread through her body.
Her injuries began to heal faster, and her dull fur regained its shimmering, star-like glow.
Morningstar closed her eyes in satisfaction, her whiskers twitching.
Seeing Morningstar’s condition, Alysha and Tina felt much more at ease.
Su Yu then said, "Alysha, Tina, are you busy with official duties now? If not, let’s go to Clearwind Village to see Lady Bernina. I’ve completed the task of reversing the time flow rate, so we can talk about everything once that’s done."
Tina brushed her long hair and replied, "Speaking of official duties, we’re currently in the middle of an important court session."
Just before Su Yu arrived, Alysha and Tina had been in the main hall of the palace, discussing the construction details of the "North Stream II oil pipeline" with the kings and dukes of the Western Continent.
The Golden Fleur-de-lis Empire was in dire need of oil, and the players had discovered several super-large oil fields on the Western Continent with astonishing reserves!
If the pipeline could be successfully constructed, it would transport the oil from those fields to the empire, accelerating its industrialization.
This project was known as the "West Oil to East" plan.
The kings and dukes of the Western Continent were well aware of the importance of the oil pipeline. Since the Golden Fleur-de-lis Empire, B, C, D]\) needed their cooperation, they were making exorbitant demands to maximize their own benefits.
Alysha, of course, wouldn’t agree to their excessive demands. The court session had been heated, with arguments flying back and forth until Su Yu’s arrival. But because Su Yu had come, Alysha had paused the negotiations to greet him.
...
Hearing Tina’s mention of the court session, Alysha pouted, "Don’t mention them; they just make me angry! How about this: let’s go see Lady Bernina and leave them hanging."
“Uh, I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Tina voiced her concern. “If this plan falls through, we’ll have to put a hold on a lot of major projects.”
“No worries, we have our trump card!” Alyssa flew closer to Su Yu, affectionately patting his shoulder.
“Surely they remember the last time our trump card went to their country to collect the Psychic Coins? If they don’t listen, we’ll just send our trump card over there again to help them recall the past.”
Hearing Alyssa say this, Su Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips. “You’re using me as a heavy hitter?”
“Why, are you not willing?”
“Of course, I’m willing!” Su Yu quickly put on a smile. “If I go over there and collect the coins, it would be even better if they gave me 100 billion like last time!”
The trio, along with the cat, chatted for a while before heading toward the Golden Sparrow City’s dedicated teleportation array for residents.
The kings and dukes in the Golden Sparrow Palace were momentarily bewildered.
How could the Empress be discussing things and then run off with her lover?
Before long, the trio and the cat appeared at the entrance square of Sunny Breeze Village.
The village entrance square was unusually quiet now, and Su Yu scanned the area, seeing no other players.
After all, the United Government had completed the distribution of headsets in the Huaxia region more than three months ago. There were no new players in the starter village anymore, as everyone was already out in the main world, battling it out.
With no new players around, the village elder was enjoying a relaxed day.
He was half-lying on a recliner, holding a birdcage in his right hand, and mimicking bird calls to amuse the little bird inside.
Seeing Su Yu and his companions arrive, the elder’s eyes lit up, and he stood up from the recliner, holding the birdcage. “Ah, it’s the three great ones! What’s the bird news?”
“Bird news?” Alyssa and Tina were momentarily taken aback. What was this new term?
“Uh, we don’t have any bird news,” Su Yu’s lips twitched. “I’m here to see Lady Bernina. We have something very, very, very, very—”
Su Yu repeated the word “very” over twenty times.
The elder couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted, “Alright, I get what you mean. Follow me, and stop imitating Tina’s dad.”
With that, he held the birdcage and wobbled off in front, leading the way.
Su Yu quickly followed his steps.
Alyssa and Tina exchanged a glance, unsure about the strange conversation between Su Yu and the elder, but followed behind anyway. The four of them walked together into the village.
Upon reaching the elder’s courtyard, Su Yu and his companions smoothly met Lady Bernina Tides.
Today, Bernina looked exactly the same as when Su Yu last saw her.
She wore Tina’s clothes, lying flat on a vine-woven swing, her eyes fixed on the sky.
Seeing Su Yu and his companions arrive, she shifted to a side-lying position, propping her head up and smiling at them. “I knew you’d come. Sure enough, here you are.”
“Great Ancestor.”
“Lady Bernina.”
Alyssa and Tina bowed simultaneously.
Su Yu also smiled and said, “Lady Bernina, I’ve brought the [Lunket Eternal Badge]. May I ask, is the [Blazing Seal] in your possession?”
Bernina looked at Su Yu with interest but didn’t answer directly.
After a few seconds, she nodded. “Yes, the [Blazing Seal] is with me. I picked it up by chance when I was out for a stroll. Do you have a problem with that?”
