Starforce Warriors-Chapter 646: Before Leaving
Chapter 646: Before Leaving
Yes. Li Xiaofei was preparing to leave for the Outer World. Staying on Earth might have allowed him to survive and grow in the shadows. However, after the incident with the Divine Envoy, he knew that it was no longer feasible.
He had fought the God General, and the other party now bore a grudge against him. There was no doubt that they would continue to target him, and when that happened, Earth would inevitably be dragged into the conflict.
As the saying went, when gods fought, mortals suffered. Now that Great Xia had unified Earth, even the slightest upheaval could result in catastrophic consequences. After years of prolonged war, Earth could no longer withstand such turmoil.
The Earth where Liu Diqiu resided was an excellent example. Li Guorui had even gone so far as to shatter the moon in his battle. Moreover, according to his aunt, the energy level of the Outer World was much higher, and the laws of the Great Dao were more complete. If he entered the Outer World now to cultivate and advanced to the Dao Union Realm, the benefits would be far greater.
A small pond could only nurture a king for so long. Only the vast ocean could give birth to a true dragon. That was the simple truth. If he wanted to protect Earth, he had to become stronger.
"You already know my identity," Little Aunt said. "I was sent by Heaven to investigate the extent of Eden’s infiltration on Earth 89876 and establish a direct connection between the Star Council headquarters and this planet. However, Eden ambushed me, and I was forced to stay on Earth to recover... Now that my mission is complete, I will return to Heaven. However, I can take Tan Zhenwei and his daughter with me. It is too dangerous for them to remain on Earth."
Li Xiaofei nodded in agreement.
Little Aunt continued, "As for you, I will arrange for you to go directly to the Star Council’s main continent. You will take on a new identity and start over. While cultivating, you will also look for an opportunity to infiltrate Eden, gather more intelligence, and hopefully eradicate this malignant organization in one decisive strike."
Oh? Is she asking me to go undercover?
Li Xiaofei thought about it for a moment and felt a surge of excitement.
"Will I have a contact?" He asked eagerly.
Little Aunt replied, "Yes."
"Who is it? Can they be trusted?" Li Xiaofei pressed on.
Little Aunt smiled meaningfully and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
Tsk.
Li Xiaofei stroked his chin.
That expression on her face... It seems like this contact is someone interesting.
"I will send you off in three days," Little Aunt said. "Use this time to make any necessary arrangements and settle any unfinished matters. Once you leave, coming back won’t be easy."
"So soon?" Li Xiaofei was taken aback.
Little Aunt explained, "Three days from now, Heaven will reinforce the formations outside Earth. This will make it incredibly difficult for Eden’s higher-ups to infiltrate and cause any more chaos. Even that so-called God General, Angrus, won’t be able to project himself onto Earth. This is all for your protection."
Li Xiaofei immediately straightened as he said, "Alright."
There were indeed many things he needed to take care of before leaving. But there was one matter that had always weighed heavily on his mind.
"Little Aunt, I..."
"Are you trying to say that you haven’t healed the scars on my face yet? That you haven't restored my appearance?"
"Yes, this has always been my top priority. Little Aunt, didn’t you say that once I reached the Five Spirits Realm, you would tell me how to heal your face?"
"I underestimated you. I never expected your strength to improve so quickly. It’s only been a short two or three years, but you've already forged your golden body. I thought it would take at least ten years for you to fully cultivate the Five Spirits..."
"Ah, well..."
"How about this—once you break through to the Saint Realm and truly step into the cosmic life level, I will tell you how to heal my scars. How does that sound?"
"Alright, Little Aunt, but this time, you can’t brush me off again. No matter how long it takes me to reach the Saint Realm, you must keep your promise."
"You child... Fine, I promise." ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Only then did Li Xiaofei feel completely at ease. He turned to leave, ready to make his final arrangements. But just as he was about to step away, LIttle Aunt suddenly spoke again.
"Wait... Since we’re about to part ways, let me give you one last massage to help with circulation and bruising."
"Huh? Really?"
Li Xiaofei was overjoyed.
What a rare treat!
Little Aunt’s massage techniques were unparalleled. Each session in Liuhe Base City had always significantly enhanced his cultivation. But most importantly, her massages were incredibly comfortable!
Li Xiaofei didn’t hesitate. He took off his outer robe and lay down without a second thought. Little Aunt’s expression darkened immediately.
I never said we’d do it here.
This was a cemetery. So many ghosts were watching. She glanced around at the surrounding graves, then looked at Li Xiaofei, who was already lying down in a practiced position. She could only shake her head helplessly.
The sun set and the cool wind played around the trees. Li Xiaofei walked out of the Cemetery of the Ancestors with a satisfied expression. The sensation of his body being kneaded apart and reassembled was always painful yet so satisfying.
He could feel that his physical body seemed to have reached the threshold of another breakthrough after his aunt’s massage technique. By the time the massage was over, he felt like he was floating in bliss. He almost wanted to light a post-session cigarette.
The next two days were very hectic for Li Xiaofei. He met with several old friends and also discussed Great Xia’s governance strategies with Chu Yuncheng, Song Huaiyuan, and others. He then sparred with Li Junjie and his teammates, guiding them in their martial arts cultivation. Before leaving, he passed down numerous secret techniques, ensuring that they could continue training in his absence.
This squad had originally been trained by the sages to participate in the Stellar Holy War. However, Eden’s Divine Envoy had played dirty and launched a sneak attack on Xiajing City instead. Unfortunately for them, Li Xiaofei had wiped them out in one swift move, causing the entire war to be called off.
Still, the squad was exceptionally powerful and capable of suppressing even Great Saint-level experts. As long as they were stationed on Earth, the planet was well protected. Even another Divine Envoy from Eden would no longer be a match for this team.
"Boss, just go without worries," said Li Junjie, patting his chest confidently. "All the members of our Stellar Battle Squad—"
"Stellar Battle Squad sounds too bland," Ren Dong immediately objected from the side. She then made her own suggestion. "Little Li, don’t just throw names around. We should call ourselves Paired Up Squad—now that has some flair!"
"Puns should come with a fine," Ximen Piaoxue said. "We need a cooler name, like Kings Squad or Invincible Firestorm Squad..."
Zhang Zhihong couldn’t take it anymore. "Damn it, if you don’t know how to name things, just say less. Might as well call it Drunken Lovers Squad instead."
Gu Haochen was also reaching his limit. He raised his hand high, itching to speak. "Stop messing around with these lame jokes! Brother Li, Liu Ying, and I all use swords. Why don’t we just call ourselves the Invincible Sword Squad?"
What kind of nonsense is this?
Li Xiaofei was speechless as he said, "Name it however you want. Just let me know once you’ve decided."
Then, he vanished. He reunited with Ren Dong, Bai Qiqi, Bai Longfei, and the others in Liuhe Base City, where they held a long-overdue class reunion at Red Flag High School.
Countless heroes had fallen during the war, including students of Red Flag High School. The previous graduating class had seventy-four students in total. But only thirty-two had survived to attend the gathering. Four of them had mechanical limb transplants, and two sat in wheelchairs.
Principal Qin Dewei raised his glass, staring at the class photo taken on graduation day a year ago. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and his voice was choked with emotion.
After that, a small private gathering took place. Popular streamer Shen Yan arrived with his main sidekick, Little You, to attend the event at the newly reopened Qingya Pavilion.
When she heard that Li Xiaofei had returned, Little You remembered a joke he had once made in the past and specifically wore black stockings to show her thoughtfulness. Her long, fair legs, wrapped in the sheer fabric, were nothing short of mesmerizing.
It was a time to reunite with old friends and classmates. It was at the reunion that Li Xiaofei saw Zhong Ling again.
"Brother Xiaofei," greeted Zhong Ling, standing in front of him, graceful and poised.
She had been injured during the National Defense War, and her right arm had been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic. She was no longer the spoiled and naive gang heiress she had once been. She had matured, both in demeanor and in beauty.
She was at the peak of her beauty as a woman. But she had married and her child was over a year old.
"Come on, Nianli, call him uncle," said a smiling Zhong Ling, happiness radiating from her face as she held her daughter in her arms.
The little girl was like a delicate porcelain doll, her features bearing a striking resemblance to Zhong Ling’s. She was small and exquisite, like a character from a painting.
Her large eyes were round and bright, framed by long black lashes. Her double eyelids and starlike pupils made her look like a tiny celestial being. When she smiled, two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.
She took an immediate liking to Li Xiaofei, reaching out her tiny arms for a hug. Li Xiaofei chuckled and picked her up, which elicited a burbling laugh. Her chubby little arms wrapped around his neck as her tiny hands grabbed at his hair, refusing to let go. She babbled excitedly, as if trying to climb onto his head.
