Chapter 730: Huaxia Red No. 1
🕑 Added 2024-12-13 15:02:15 +0000 UTCWhen Lan Feng'er returned to her courtyard, she found a stone table laden with an array of delicious dishes. Just the aroma alone was enough to lift her spirits.
"Just from the smell, I can tell this is the unforgettable cuisine from the Huaxia Empire," Lan Feng'er remarked as she quickly sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the food.
As the flavors exploded in her mouth, Lan Feng'er felt immense satisfaction. She then turned to her son-in-law, Lin Qian, and said, “Xiao Qian, your Huaxia Empire is truly captivating. I only stayed there for such a short time, but I already can’t wait to go back.”
“Mother, are you exaggerating a bit?” Ye Xin, who was also eating while going over some documents, looked up and teased with a smile.
Lan Feng'er playfully poked her son-in-law's forehead with her finger and said with mock frustration, “What do you mean? You’ve been helping manage the Huaxia Empire yourself. You should know better than anyone what life there is like. I’m not exaggerating at all.”
“I’ve never seen a place as vibrant and colorful as the Huaxia Empire. After traveling with your father, I realized how wonderful it was to walk through those beautifully renovated landscapes. The views are so relaxing, and the tranquility greatly aids in cultivation. I even saw several Soul Martial Artists having epiphanies while traveling.”
“Not to mention the underwater theme parks and amusement parks on land—so many creative and fun activities. If you block off your senses and cultivation, you can enjoy all sorts of thrilling experiences.”
“And then there are the cinemas and SoulVision screens. The movies and SoulVision dramas are so entertaining! The one called The Legend of Zhen Huan really opened my eyes. Who came up with such an amazing story?”
Hearing this, Ye Xin covered her mouth with the document she was holding to hide her smile, then glanced at Lin Qian, who was waving his hands awkwardly in the air. “Who else could it be? It was written by none other than the famous Renhuang Wudi Luo of the empire. I have no idea how he thought of it.”
Lin Qian rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
There was no helping it. In his past life, during his time in the orphanage, the old director had been particularly fond of classic TV dramas, and The Legend of Zhen Huan was her absolute favorite. Lin Qian had watched it at least thirty times, so the story was deeply ingrained in his memory.
“Although Blue Phoenix Star may not be as fun as the Huaxia Empire, it’s still worth exploring. After we finish eating, how about I take you two out for a tour?” Lan Feng'er suggested warmly as she continued enjoying the meal.
Lin Qian's face turned awkward as he responded, “Mother-in-law, I have an important matter to attend to for the Huaxia Empire, so I’m afraid I don’t have time right now.”
Ye Xin nodded in agreement. “Mother, I’ll need to stay by Lin Qian’s side, so I won’t be able to join you either. But don’t worry, Father can accompany you. The two of you can enjoy your time together.”
Lan Feng'er sighed in resignation as she looked at her busy daughter and son-in-law. “Oh, what a busy pair you two are.”
“Father, here’s a Soul Crystal from the treasure box I opened. Consider it some spending money. You and Mother enjoy yourselves, and don’t bother us unless absolutely necessary!” Ye Xin handed a storage ring to her father, Ye Nanxin, and after giving a few careful reminders, she picked up her documents and followed Lin Qian back to their room.
In the courtyard, only Lan Feng'er and Ye Nanxin remained, both exchanging bewildered glances. After a long pause, Ye Nanxin chuckled. “Why does it suddenly feel like we’ve become their children?”
His words made Lan Feng'er burst into laughter. She then took her husband’s arm affectionately. “Since they’re not coming with us, let’s go enjoy ourselves. Last time on Hunwu Star, you took me around, so now it’s my turn.”
“Hm... This is the place where you grew up, right? How about taking me to see the places you frequented in the past?” Ye Nanxin suggested with a warm smile as he looked at his wife.
Lan Feng'er smiled happily and, holding her husband’s arm tightly, led him out of the courtyard.
Meanwhile, back in their room, Lin Qian and Ye Xin sat on the bed, leaning against the wall. Ye Xin, nestled lazily in Lin Qian’s arms, was reviewing documents. As she used her soul power to imprint her decisions on the papers, she tossed them into a nearby metal box.
She knew that once the documents were in the box, Lin Qian would review her decisions and carefully consider them before making final judgments.
As for Lin Qian, he was focused on the Empire’s system in front of him, observing various screens that showed different perspectives of the same scene.
“Darling, it’s about to start,” Lin Qian said as he chewed on a piece of gum made from skill essence.
Ye Xin, excited, took out a small tactical monitor. Through Lin Qian’s powerful network, she could also watch the Huaxia Empire’s Science and Education Channel 6.
On the screen, there was a massive platform with Yuan Zhizun standing atop it. Behind him sat a unique-looking soul artifact that emitted intense soul power fluctuations.
“The Shenzhou-1 mission is about to begin. Huaxia Red No. 1 will soon be launched into space, where it will orbit Hunwu Star and strengthen the array patterns of the Huaxia Boundary Array. Once completed, households will enjoy a new era of high-definition SoulVision,” the broadcast announcer, Li Kui, reported enthusiastically.
The scene then shifted to a control hub where Zhang Juncheng watched the tactical monitors with a serious expression, overseeing the situation at the launch site.
On the launch platform, Yuan Zhizun stood calmly, his soul power circulating smoothly within him, clearly ready for the mission.
“Countdown, start!”
“Ten!”
Across the Huaxia Empire, citizens waited eagerly, their eyes glued to the SoulVision screens. Many had gathered in the streets to watch the broadcast on public SoulVision screens, hoping for a clearer view of the historic moment.
On the screen, Yuan Zhizun opened his eyes and lifted the Huaxia Red No. 1 satellite above his head, ready for launch.
At that moment, the Huaxia Boundary Array in the sky activated, pouring its energy into Huaxia Red No. 1.
“Nine!”
“Eight!”
...
“One!”
“Launch!”
The moment the final command echoed across Hunwu Star, everyone’s hearts raced. Yuan Zhizun’s eyes flashed with determination as he soared into the sky at full speed.
In the next instant, Yuan Zhizun had already left Hunwu Star’s atmosphere, breaking into the outer void.
