Chapter 152: Interstellar Thief
In the depths of the universe, warships sailed through space.
The largest main ship among them was the Sword, belonging to Mandala Star. After a period of repairs, the Sword's hull and shield were restored, and it was equipped with detection and invisibility technology from the Blue Star Energy Technology Group.
This fleet was like a ghost in the universe, silent and undetectable.
"Austin Star is so poor. We looted around and only managed to snag two warships, and they're both in tatters," Xiao Qi complained in the spacious business lounge of the Sword.
They had recently made a round on Austin Star, engaging in their own form of piracy, but only managed to seize two ships.
Now, this fleet consisted of the previous eleven ships of the Black God Fleet, one Sword from Mandala Star, and the two looted ships, totaling fourteen vessels.
"Not bad, considering they're not a regular army. On a chaotic planet like this, managing to snatch two warships in these chaotic times is not a loss," Ye Qingdie responded.
"Sister Butterfly, I noticed you're different," Xiao Qi said, looking at Ye Qingdie.
"???" Ye Qingdie glared at him.
"More beautiful, like you have a feminine charm," Xiao Qi remarked.
"Slap..."
His head received a slap, and Xiao Qi immediately touched his head in grievance, looking at Xu Mo drinking by the window, he said, "Xu Mo, control your woman."
"Sister Butterfly, you were too gentle," Xu Mo said.
"Brother, I'm not a kid anymore..." Xiao Qi watched them, thinking, are they still bickering like before?
Ah, it's hard to change one's nature.
"No, you are still a child," Xu Mo came forward, putting his arm around Ye Qingdie, leading her away.
"???" Xiao Qi stared at their backs, stunned for several seconds... Golden couple!
Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie went to the conference room where Wood bowed upon seeing them, "Mr. Xu Mo, Miss Ye."
During their time together, Wood had naturally learned about the relationship between Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie and respected her greatly.
Moreover, Xu Mo did not mistreat him; although his family was detained on Byron Star, they enjoyed the most privileged living conditions there.
"Mr. Wood, how far are we from Camp Star?" Xu Mo asked.
"We are about to reach the next space jump point, and after the jump, we'll be only eighteen hours away from Camp Star," Wood pointed to the screen and said to Xu Mo.
The star domain where the Star System Alliance was located had fixed routes, which were also space jump coordinates.
"Understood," Xu Mo nodded. Their next target destination would be Camp Star.
Camp Star's major planets had teamed up with the Black God Fleet to attack Byron Star, intending to wipe them out. Xu Mo was now leading the 'Black God Fleet' to Camp Star in retaliation.
"Captain, we've received a message from the cruiser. It caught signals of a large fleet, which might pass near us. Should we alter our course to avoid them?" A voice from the control room came, powered by a voice-activated system to ensure that commands could be communicated instantly throughout the warship.
"Send it to the conference room," Xu Mo replied.
"Yes, Captain." A response came quickly, and soon the conference room received a virtual image projected from space, showing a vast fleet sailing through the universe; it was a large fleet.
"Unexpectedly, we've encountered Mandala Star's main fleet," Xu Mo was a bit surprised. This fleet appeared to be one of the primary fleets of the Mandala United Kingdom, and they were already quite deep within this star domain.
The large fleet of the Mandala Star United Kingdom had invaded this far.
"Avoid them," Xu Mo ordered. With their advanced instruments, they could first capture the opponent's signal ahead of time, thus gaining the advantage. However, if detected by the other side, it would be dangerous.
If their current fleet confronted the main fleet from Mandala Star, they would undoubtedly be doomed, knowing they had no chance. Xu Mo understood this well.
Their current goal was to grow in a snowball-like manner, expanding their own power through 'robbery.'
The first big target for their heist was Camp Star.
Locke's cruiser was scouting ahead, and they changed course following the cruiser, steering clear of Mandala Star's large fleet from a distance.
"The fleet has now distanced itself and will resume its original course," the control room reported, and Xu Mo said to Wood, "Mr. Wood, I'm going to rest, call me if there's anything."
"Yes, Mr. Xu Mo," Wood nodded. Xu Mo left with Ye Qingdie, and the two went to the luxurious space bedroom. This room was filled with a sense of technology, with the bedroom's large bed facing the outer space. Lying on the bed, one could almost feel the insignificance of oneself.
Ye Qingdie stood by the window, gazing at the starry universe outside, endless and deep. Humans, traveling in space, would feel their insignificance, like a drop in the ocean.
Having sailed through space for many days, Ye Qingdie seemed to understand Xu Mo's unrestrained pursuit of freedom. Humans are so insignificant, just a grain of sand in the cosmic river of time. So why impose so many restrictions on oneself, why not live freely, more carefree?
A pair of hands wrapped around her waist, holding her. The familiar scent of Xu Mo surrounded her, and she did not resist. She tilted her head slightly as Xu Mo kissed her earlobe.
The coat slipped off, revealing the sexy long dress inside. Xu Mo's hand glided over the soft skin, and Ye Qingdie's breathing became rapid. She was no longer hesitant, embracing this passion. Their lips met, fiery and intense.
