Li Kaihao was in a pickle. What kind of luck does Xiang Ning have?! First, it was the massive Lu family. I’m not sure why they sent their child to Earth. Then he had the daughter of the Fang family, the strongest martial clan in Marsh City. And now he even has the daughter of the Jiang family! Li Kaihao was still single. He never believed that even primary school students had girlfriends, but with this incident, he had changed his viewpoint. But still, he had to explain what the status of Xiang Ning was.
“He’s still in a recovery capsule, but he no longer needs critical care. Relax, let me ask a few more questions and you can go.”
Jiang Youyou nodded. She hadn’t caused any more trouble, and that gave Li Kaihao a good impression of her.
“How did you encounter the Void Vulture?” Based on his experience, Void Vultures always flew in a flock. Why was this one alone? And why was it attacking the ship? Had it been affected by Balamu?
Jiang Youyou tried to recall and tightly clutched her sheets. “I don’t know how I provoked it. I delivered a parcel to Fortress Six and was heading back to Marsh City. It was there that I encountered it.”
“Just one?”
“Yes.”
“How long have you obtained your pilot license?” Li Kaihao had a bad feeling.
“Three months. Hehe,” Jiang Youyou chuckled.
Li Kaihao now knew what that feeling was. How could they be so reckless?! If a pilot wanted to fly solo, they needed to first fly with another experienced pilot for at least six months. She just got her license three month ago, that’s why she couldn’t outmaneuver the Void Vulture! But he did get some good intel. The distance between Fortress Three and Six wasn’t far, but to have met a lone Void Vulture here meant that there was a very high chance a large number of Void Vultures were in the horde.
He needed to call for an emergency meeting now. Between Fortresses Three and Six were Fortresses Four and Five. They were on the front line of the border and suffered the most attacks from the beasts. If they did not prepare in advance for a large-scale horde of flying beasts, there was a very high chance they would be breached.
“That… can I go see him now?” Jiang Youyou didn’t know why she wanted to see him; she just thought that he looked familiar.
“Sure, but are you sure your body is fine?” Li Kaihao confirmed once again. It was better to ask again even though the doctor had said she was fine.
“No problem! I’m dizzy from the crash, but I’m fine overall.” Jiang Youyou smiled.
Li Kaihao suddenly felt like lecturing her. Dizzy my ass. Luckily you’re unhurt—if you were hurt, the Void Vultures around this area would be exterminated.
Jiang Youyou quickly walked to the recovery capsule where Xiang Ning was and immediately recognized him.
“He’s a good person!” Jiang Youyou said.
Of course he’s a good person! He just saved you from a tier four beast, even though he’s only a tier two martial artist. Li Kaihao almost said it out loud.
“What’s the name of good-review-dude?” Jiang Youyou asked.
Fang Hao and colonel Li’s assistant almost dropped what they were holding. What the heck is a good-review-dude?!
Li Kaihao cleared his throat before answering her. “Do you know him?”
“Yeah, he was the first person who gave me a good review since I became a delivery girl.” Jiang Youyou was happy. Not only had he given her a good review, but he’d also saved her.
Everyone just wordlessly stared at Xiang Ning.
“His name is Xiang Ning. He’s a student from Qiling Academy in Marsh City.”
Jiang Youyou nodded. “I’ll remember him.”
Fang Hao felt jealousy in his heart. What kind of luck does he have?! To be able to befriend the daughter of the Jiang house, he’s destined to walk a smooth road in the future.
At the same time, a doctor walked over to Li Kaihao. “Colonel Li, he’s fully recovered, but he’s up thirty-three drops of recovery fluids.”
“How many?!” Li Kaihao was in shock. He thought something was wrong with his ears. Fang Hao was laughing like a maniac. A single drop cost three hundred thousand, so thirty-three of them amounted to almost ten million dollars.
“Ah! That much?! I don’t have a lot on me now.” Jiang Youyou sulked.
Fang Hao smiled as he looked at Li Kaihao. He was the one who wanted to recruit Xiang Ning, let’s see what he would do.
Li Kaihao could only smile as he forced the words out of his mouth. “Don’t worry, his fees will be covered by us.” The last few words were heavily emphasized.
“Yay! I thought I’d be scolded by my father,” Jiang Youyou laughed.
Xiang Ning had just come out from the recovery capsule and felt that he was just one step away from advancing. He saw that he only needed a few hundred experience points, but he couldn’t absorb any more recovery fluid. He felt bloated and needed to release some of his excess power.
He put on his shirt and walked out of the room. Jiang Youyou was waiting outside for him.
“So it’s really you,” he mumbled. When he had retrieved his parcel, he already knew she wasn’t too reliable, but to think that she would be forced to do an emergency landing from a single Void Vulture. The ship was strong enough that even a tier five beast would have a hard time damaging it, but to think that she could even destroy it.
“Hello Xiang Ning, we meet again. I’m Jiang Youyou, thank you for saving me.” The girl smiled and extended her hand. Her smile was sweet and her face was flushed pink. She looked cute. “This is my contact number. If you need my help, please call me and I’ll do my best to persuade my father with my cute charms,” Jiang Youyou laughed.
The assistant almost wanted to smack her. Is this why you could pilot a ship even though you’re inexperienced?
As for everyone else, since they saw that Xiang Ning was fine, they just left. Fang Hao left with them, too. As for Li Kaihao, he needed to start a meeting and inform the rest of the fortresses to be prepared for a horde of Void Vultures.
Li Kaihao when he heard how much recovery fluid Xiang Ning used:
