After Gu Shucheng finished explaining his arrangements, he cleared his throat, his solemn expression from before returning. “And the most important matter, Your Highness, you must remember this, you definitely must—”
Before he could finish, Yao Si interrupted him. “Remember to be punctual for dinner, right? I get it, I get it.”
Nephew Gu exhaled deeply as though he had unloaded a heavyweight off his chest.
Yao Si’s lips twitched.That’s going too far, why can’t he forget that matter! It’s decided, salary retracted!
“Oh right, aren’t you waiting till the end of the semester before you graduate?” Yao Si glanced at the various forms they were holding. “Why are you here now?” Shouldn’t they bid their farewell at the end of the semester?
They glanced at each other. “Graduation classes aren’t held within the academy.”
“Not within the academy?” Yao Si stilled. Did the Galaxy also have graduation internships?
“Yes, for those with abilities, graduation classes are held in other planets. We chose Nirvana,” Nephew Gu explained.
Nirvana? That sounds familiar. Where did I hear it before?
“It’s about time, let’s head out.” Nephew Gu glanced at the time on his optical computer. “Your Highness, we have to go.”
“Alright, bon voyage!” Yao Si waved, staying till the couple entered the aircraft and flew off into the distance.
Eh, when was she going to graduate? She was suddenly reminded of the red marks on her report card…
It definitely wasn’t because she hadn’t put in the effort, but because she had been occupied. That was right, it was all Euphoria’s fault; it thoroughly murdered her passionate desire to learn. What a malicious organization!
Just as Yao Si entered the academy, Bai Yi came running from the back, glancing around frantically. ” Your Highness, did you see Gu Shucheng?”
“I saw him, he left!”
“F*ck!” Bai Yi’s face darkened, his mood dimming. “That bastard just threw the vice president job to me.”
Eh? He had no clue?
“The three of us promised to graduate together, so how could he just run away with Luo Ying!” Bai Yi started to fume. “Heh, what’s so good about having a cub! In the past, they kept flaunting their love, and now they just thoroughly abandoned me. This can’t happen. I need to chase after them. I will not let them live so peacefully.”
“…”Hey, hey, hey! Isn’t your resentment going a little overboard?
“Your Highness, do you know to which planet they are heading for their graduation classes?”
“I think it’s… Nirvana?”
Bai Yi immediately opened his optical computer to check for the flight details.
You’re really going after him?! Is Nephew Gu your true love?
Bai Yi glanced at the screen, where there was only one flight with a single red word beside it—Left.
His soul seemed to fly away at that moment, leaving his body an empty shell.
“Forget it! Forget it!” Yao Si gave a comforting pat on his shoulder. ” You’ll get your own cub one day!”Here’s to hoping you leave your bachelor status soon.
“Your Highness…” he cried indignantly.
“Besides, there is only one flight to Nirvana each month.” Nephew Gu must have chosen that planet precisely for that reason. “Now that the aircraft has left, you won’t be able to chase after them. You can’t just find a random aircraft to bring you over—”
Buzz.
Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden white glow surrounded her. Her body started to feel lighter, and the next moment, she disappeared. Yao Si saw the sight in front of her change, and then was faced with a metal room.
An excited voice reached her ears.
“Boss, I caught them! I caught it! No one saw me, I’m going to be rich!”
“Shut it, we have to hurry to Nirvana!”
“…” Yao Si
“…” Bai Yi
F*ck her jinx mouth!
–
For the first time in her life, Yao Si was kidnapped! She didn’t feel much variation in her emotions; there was even an impulse to do her school work. But the trio outside already started to fantasize about their future.
“After this kidnapping, I’ll definitely head over to Heaven for a few months!”
“With that money, you’ll be able to stay there permanently, not to mention a few months!”
“I doubt so, Heaven is such an expensive planet!”
“What’s there to worry about? With these two, we will be able to obtain the 200 000. Heaven aside, we will even be able to enter the Alliance’s main planet!”
“Hahahaha, that’s right. I really wish there were more such easy money-making tasks like this!”
“Is 200,000 considered a lot?” Yao Si couldn’t help interrupting. From what she remembered, student committee’s semester pay was around that amount. She had always assumed that the amount was due to inflation.
Since the academy was student-operated, every member of the committee received a salary.
“Obviously!” The three rolled their eyes. “It’s an amount that ordinary people will never earn…” He stopped, finally realizing their sudden appearance. “You-you… Where did you come from?”
“There!” Yao Si pointed toward the open cell door. The person beside her was a highly experienced hacker, so how could they be kept in captivity?
The three stilled, then pulled out their knives frantically. “Don’t… Don’t move! Hurry and return to the cell or we won’t be kind.”
“Haha…” Yao Si laughed. “What a coincidence, I don’t intend to be kind either! Bai Yi I’ll hand it to you.” It was time to vent his frustration!
Pikachu, I choose you!
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Yao Si had enough knowledge of bloodlings to be confident that they could deal with the three even without using any abilities, but she never expected it to be that quick…
After three minutes…
“Master, we were wrong, we are aware of our mistakes.”
“Yes master, please forgive us. Anymore and we’ll be disfigured…”
“Master, could you pardon us? It’s our first crime!”
“We had no idea our victims would be S ranked. If we had known earlier, we would have never dared to do it.”
“Master, you should seek out the real mastermind. We were just forced into it… Please forgive us…”
Yao Si looked at the three who were kneeling in tears after getting beaten by Bai Yi. Her lips twitched. Wasn’t it a bit too fast? Where was their kidnapper dignity? Did they spend all their time on talking? Did they not graduate from kidnappers’ academy? Even their begging pleas seemed trained and eloquent.
Yao Si massaged her temples, then took a deep breath. “Speak! What exactly happened? What were your intentions? Why did you kidnap us?”
“Master, this has nothing to do with us.” The thin and tall leader lifted his swollen face. Inhaling, he stuttered, “It’s-it’s someone on Nirvana… He offered a high price to kidnap you… No, to invite you back.”
“Nirvana?” Yao Si stilled. She didn’t seem to have visited that planet? “Who is that person?”
“That… We aren’t sure of his identity.” The person then quickly added, “The other party sent us a video message, instructing us to bring you to Nirvana unharmed.” He switched on his optical computer, and indeed, a 3D version of her image popped up. “In order to aid our operation, he… helped to modify our aircraft, so you could enter the aircraft without any of the Galactic detectors being activated.”
That explained why no one had gone after her even though she had been gone for quite awhile. She eyed them suspiciously. “You guys… don’t know who I am?”
They glanced at each other before shaking their heads in unison.
That was indeed a surprise. After her video was publicized, her identity as Mu Xuan’s cub had spread throughout the entire Galaxy. Even the dumbest kidnappers knew not to kidnap a fifth-generation bloodling. Thus, she had assumed that they belonged to Euphoria, but their words revealed to her that they were just clueless.
But… who exactly had gotten these three ignorant people to kidnap her?
“I don’t care what you want, turn the aircraft back!” Regardless of who the person was, it was best for her to return due to her current dangerous circumstances. Curiosity killed the cat, and she was determined not to get herself killed.
“Master, this… this…” Their faces paled. “It’s… not possible.”
“What did you say?” Yao Si stood up.
They shrank in fear. “Master, the aircraft has a specialized route installed, so until we arrive at our destination, we-we won’t be able to change it…”
Bai Yi’s face darkened, and he turned toward the control table. After playing with it for a while, he looked over at her in disappointment. “Your Highness, they aren’t lying! It isn’t possible to change the route.”
She opened her optical computer, preparing to contact Mu Xuan only to realize that there wasn’t any reception. A message popped up: Unable to connect.
“The aircraft has a firewall installed to block all transmissions. I’m not able to connect to the galactic web,” Bai Yi added.
F*ck!How could she have met with such a misfortune?
“You can’t break through the firewall?” It seemed like an experienced hacker was needed for such a task. “We can just head over to Nirvana.”
“Yeah, we can, but…”—he pointed toward the front—”we’re already here.”
What?
Yao Si turned. At some point,, they had passed through the space portal into a gigantic green planet. The aircraft descended gradually to the ground.
In less than two minutes, it landed on a grass patch, and the gates on the right opened with a loud noise.
Ech, the inevitable had happened.
Yao Si exchanged a glance with Bai Yi before they headed toward the gates. Outside was a vast grass field whose end could not be seen. There wasn’t a single sign of Galactic technology anywhere around them. Yao Si started to believe the kidnappers’ words. Why did the mastermind choose such a spot? Who exactly was he?
While she was in deep thought, a figure dashed over. Before she had time to react, the person pounced on her.
“Your Highness, long time no see! I’ve missed you so much. Days without you feel so empty, lonely, and cold!” A familiar figure stuck to her like a plaster, pressing her head into his embrace, caressing it haphazardly, messing her hair up. “Aren’t you surprised to see me? Did you miss me? I’ve missed you all this while!”
Yao Si felt her face stiffen. Veins on her temples throbbed violently, threatening to explode. She took a deep calming breath, pushing the frustration down before ripping herself away from him and punching his smiling face.
“Qu! Ze!”
