Gong Xueman dared not make a sound anymore, but her eyes still brimmed with defiance.
Then Gong Changyue, somewhat hesitantly, said, "Well, it is possible, but it is still a month’s journey to the Tian Zhao Star. You..."
He was just about to continue.
Suddenly, outside the porthole, their starship dimmed abruptly, then lost all power, floating in the void.
"What happened?" The siblings both exclaimed in shock.
Xue An blandly said, "Although your starship escaped the spacetime vortex, the gravitational pull has damaged its power source. Now it’s completely useless!"
These words turned the siblings’ faces ashen.
Before reaching Great Luo, even physical cultivators dared not linger too long in the void, let alone they, who were cultivators specializing in Divine Sense.
Xue An smiled faintly, "It seems... even if I didn’t want to go, I have no choice now!"
The Trans-ocean Starship, though not very large, was fully equipped with all sorts of facilities, including several guest rooms.
After repeated thanks from Gong Changyue, the siblings settled in on the Trans-ocean Starship.
Then the starship changed its course, speeding toward the Tian Zhao Star Domain under Gong Changyue’s guidance.
After the siblings had gone back to their rooms to rest, An Yan curiously asked, "Honey, are you really going to participate in this so-called incredible chess game?"
Xue An smiled faintly, "Of course not!"
"Then you..."
Xue An looked forward, blandly saying, "Yan’er, didn’t you hear the Star Domain they mentioned that is hosting this chess competition?"
An Yan hesitated, "You mean... the Tian Zhao Star Domain?"
Xue An nodded, "Exactly, the Tian Zhao Star Domain!"
An Yan’s eyes gradually brightened, "I get it!"
Xue An smiled, "What do you get?"
An Yan chuckled, "While I might not understand much, I do know that Tian Zhao is said to be a deity in the legends of Country R, and obviously, this Tian Zhao Star Domain cannot be unrelated to that, right?"
Xue An patted An Yan on the head, "Not bad, you’re getting smarter!"
An Yan felt somewhat miffed, "That sounds as if I was very stupid before."
Xue An laughed softly, "Be confident, remove the ’as if.’"
"You...!" An Yan, infuriated, brandished her fists and teeth, almost tempted to bite Xue An.
Hu Ying, turning her head, spoke softly, "Cough, cough, Xue Brother, you two might want to keep it down a bit. I’m still here!"
Xue An arched an eyebrow, "If you hadn’t said it, I might have forgotten. The three hours are up; it’s time you went back inside the pagoda!"
Hu Ying’s face fell instantly, "No way, Xue Brother, come on, let me give you a shoulder rub!"
Saying this, she eagerly moved closer to offer Xue An her services.
Xue An waved a hand, "Let’s not bother with that. If your brother Hu Yue saw, he’d think I was exploiting you!"
"Oh, forget him right now! But Xue Brother, are you planning to use this Tian Zhao Star Domain to enter the Heavenly Realm?" Hu Ying asked.
Xue An nodded, "Yes, after all, neither you nor I recognize the star maps here. If we rely on slowly searching like this, it’ll take a very long time!"
Hu Ying nodded, about to speak.
Gong Xueman tiptoed out of her room, her eyes shining as she stared at Hu Ying, "Wow, this little fox can actually talk! She looks so cute!"
As she spoke, she approached unabashedly and reached out to pinch Hu Ying’s cheeks.
Hu Ying, who now looked like an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl with her chubby cheeks, was indeed adorable.
