Capítulo 1096: Chapter 1096: Star Era Guide (Finale)
He curiously swept the room and asked suspiciously, “What are you doing?”
Jing Lan felt strange inside, but did not find anything unusual.
“You should control those people; they’re always snatching things.” Jing Lan complained to Chuzheng.
“They haven’t snatched your things.” As Jing Lan walked to the other side, Chuzheng rubbed her knee with her hand. When he turned around, she immediately let go and maintained a serious face: “If they’re going to snatch, just let them.”
They’re pirates; you can’t deny them having a cultural heritage!
You can’t be so unreasonable!
I’m a good person!
Jing Lan: “…”
So you’re backing them up here!
No wonder that group acts so fearlessly.
Aside from the initial batch of pirates Chuzheng recruited to make up the numbers, there were many others later recruited on the starship, all of whom listened to Jing Lan.
But that group of pirates…
Jing Lan was genuinely troubled.
As soon as they left the battlefield, they would only listen to Chuzheng.
Knowing it was hopeless, Jing Lan didn’t continue, instead changing the topic: “Baby, you really aren’t planning to return to the Main Star?”
“No.”
“The Wun Family is all on the Main Star.” Those people are her relatives; can she really let them go?
Chuzheng squinted at him, her tone so indifferent as if she wasn’t from the Wun Family: “What does that have to do with me?”
Jing Lan muttered softly: “They are your family.”
Jing Lan could feel the Wun Family treating her well.
Unlike his family…
Chuzheng was baffled: “Hmm? What’s the relation between that and me returning or not?” Plus, I’ve given them lots of things.
“…” Jing Lan murmured: “Why not go back?”
Chuzheng replied matter-of-factly: “You’re here; why would I go back?”
“…”
Jing Lan’s ears slightly reddened, his heart racing a bit.
She always appeared cold as ice and unapproachable, yet sometimes her words could make his heart pound like thunder.
The last time he woke up, Chuzheng had everything ready, just waiting for his command to conquer the universe.
According to Master Yin Er, it was like a wealthy person spending money for you to fight as a game.
Jing Lan couldn’t quite describe his feelings at the time.
He just felt…
For the rest of his life, he’d willingly give up his life for her.

“Baby.” Jing Lan leaned on the metal table, gazing into Chuzheng’s eyes: “How can I repay your kindness to me?”
“Just think I’m a good person.”
“Hmm?” Jing Lan was puzzled: “A good person?”
“Aren’t I a good person?” Chuzheng asked earnestly.
Someone as good as me cannot be found throughout the Star Era.
Jing Lan paused for a moment, then slowly smiled: “Yes, you’re the best person.”
Chuzheng · The Best Person: “…”
Sigh.
Little liar.
Jing Lan’s finger brushed lightly over Chuzheng’s hand, his voice suddenly turning suggestive: “Then, can my best baby do something good?”
Chuzheng didn’t seem to notice Jing Lan’s flirtatious manner and calmly said: “You tell me.”
Jing Lan’s deep blue eyes narrowed slightly, body reclining, as he lifted his hand slowly to loosen his clothes; the neat attire instantly turned disheveled.
The soft light in the room shone on him, immersing his silhouette to a tempting allure.
Chuzheng’s fingertip tapped the edge of the table.
Do… a good deed?
“Baby?”
Chuzheng raised her gaze, soft light from her eyes flowing like a sudden ripple across the Milky Way.
She softly responded: “Okay.”
–
The doorbell was pressed frantically, Jing Lan furrowed his brow to dress, his face now stern as he went to answer the door.
Master Yin Er leaned against the door frame: “You two doing something in broad daylight…”
Before he could finish the sentence, he noticed marks on Jing Lan’s neck, swallowing what he was about to say.
“Anything up?”
Master Yin Er murmured: “Well, something… not urgent though.”
Having already been interrupted, Jing Lan closed the door, following Master Yin Er away.
Jing Lan performed his routine check, while Master Yin Er reviewed the data.
“What’s up?”
“A bit unstable.” Master Yin Er hesitated: “Maybe because of what you just, um… I’ll run another test tomorrow, but you should take it easy, watch your health.”
Jing Lan’s eyes narrowed slightly: “What’s wrong with my health?”
Master Yin Er chuckled, not responding.
Jing Lan reviewed the inspection report himself.
“Was it you who told her about the Healing Potion?”
Though the matter had passed long ago, Jing Lan asked now and Master Yin Er let out a dry laugh, evasive: “My brother really treats you kindly, don’t ever let him down.”
Jing Lan cast him a glance.
Master Yin Er turned away to attend to other matters, but quickly turned back: “Believe it or not, I feel she was aimed at you from the start. Do you think she might have secretly liked you before?”
Chuzheng having a crush on him was impossible.
Yet Master Yin Er’s claim that she was initially focused on him seemed quite likely to Jing Lan.
Her intentions were very clear, and it was indeed him.
Thinking of this, Jing Lan couldn’t help but smile.
Being on someone’s mind… felt pretty good.
–
In the following period, the starship hovered at the fringes of the battlefield, occasionally participating.
Jing Lan truly loved the battlefield, and if not for his inability to recover his spiritual power, he’d prefer to fight personally.
The starship’s crew grew larger, forming a full-fledged military.
Here, there was no worry about supplies or weapons.
So many were willing to join.
And each time the starship went to battle, with an abundance of free weapons and equipment, it never lost a fight.
Star Era: …
Rich players are cheating!!
They’re indignant!
Yet indignant or not, it doesn’t change the results of the battles.
The starship’s fame gradually spread back to the Main Star, turning some into fans while the identity of the starship’s owner remained unclear.
However, many speculated on the star web that it was Jing Lan behind it.
After all, analysts noted similarities between this starship’s combat style and Jing Lan’s, and after all, the starship’s name was ‘Lan’.
The emergence of the starship turned the battleground in favor, though sentiments online were mixed.
Some believed Jing Lan’s unauthorized departure from Main Star was illegal and required severe punishment.
Others felt that thanks to him, circumstances improved, allowing for redemption through merit.
Debate raged fiercely online.
Yet officials remained silent without clear directives.
Jing Lan stood in the transparent observation room; the starship calmly stationed within the galaxy, his view was a scene of still Star Domain.
A reflection approached on the mirror; soon enough Jing Lan was embraced from behind.
Smiling slightly, Jing Lan turned to hold Chuzheng, both gazing at the galaxy outside.
Jing Lan always believed his future was fixed.
He pondered over several pathways: one led to a dead end, another to finishing this life.
However…
As he stood at the crossroads, that static future began moving forward once more.
He’s unsure of what others do under such circumstances.
But he couldn’t refuse.
He needed her.
To illuminate a patch of the Dark.
The only star he could grasp.
