Arrival, Part 2

Mo Mo would never care about these Mo family members, would he? Absolutely not! Mo Mo gave Lan Feng and his crew a signal, and soon enough, they were gone without a trace. The Mo family tried to chase them but couldn’t catch up.

To be honest, Sky Blue Star is very close to the Main Star One; even with a personal spacecraft, you can get there easily. So, tracking Lan Feng and his crew became difficult because there were so many ways to reach the Main Star One, and the Mo family couldn’t control all of them.

Mo Mo owned a house on Sky Blue Star, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He strolled around the streets with Ye Mo.

Ye Mo suddenly remembered something, “The flame you originally had, was it a fire ability or a special flame?”

“A special flame!” Mo Mo smiled at Ye Mo. “But now it has been fully integrated into my fire spiritual root.”

Before integrating the inner core, the special flame wasn’t fully under his control—more like it was suppressed. But when he fused with the inner core, his powerful fire spiritual root completely subdued the special flame, successfully merging it into his core. Now, that special flame had become his core flame.

“That’s amazing!” Ye Mo was genuinely happy for Mo Mo. After all, this guy was now her husband, and she definitely didn’t want him running around bare all the time!

Ye Mo turned her attention to the surrounding shops. There were quite a few on Sky Blue Star, but the most common ones were clothing stores, jewelry shops, and nutrition liquid outlets.

As Ye Mo scanned the shops, her eyes lit up. “A cold drinks shop!”

She pulled Mo toward the cold drinks shop, but before they could enter, Mo Mo glanced inside and said, “It’s just plain ice water. Do you really want that?”

Ye Mo peeked inside and, feeling disappointed, shook her head. “I thought it would be fruit juices!”

“You think that’s possible? There are a couple of shops on Main Star One, but the taste is awful—nothing like the juice we have at home.” Mo Mo had tasted the juices prepared by the butler back home, which were truly delicious. The difference was like heaven and earth.

“Ha! Do you think you’re something special? You don’t even dress that well. Do you think your family can afford fruit juice?” A woman’s voice cut in, dripping with disdain.

Ye Mo and Mo Mo both frowned and looked at the woman. She was of slightly above-average appearance, but her tone was seriously off-putting.

“Whether my family can afford it or not, what’s it to you?” Ye Mo snorted coldly, then pulled out two cups of juice and handed one to Mo. “Hubby, let’s just drink our own juice!”

The rich aroma of the juice wafted through the air, stunning not only the woman who had spoken but everyone around them.

This scent—it must be from those high-grade fruits that Master was selling recently, right?

Mo Mo glanced at his wife, feeling somewhat exasperated. Now they were in the spotlight, and it seemed like they were about to be surrounded.

Mo Mo quickly grabbed Ye Mo and ran towards a less crowded area, but soon people started chasing after them.

“Hey, you two up front, don’t run! Are those energy fruits you have? I’ll pay a high price to buy them from you, okay?” Someone shouted as they ran, which only drew more attention, and soon even more people were chasing Mo and Ye Mo.

Ye Mo was on the verge of swearing. What kind of mess was this? If she had known, she would have chosen a different drink. Such a miscalculation!

She and Mo Mo quickly downed their drinks and tossed the bottles into a nearby trash can before sprinting away, disappearing in no time.

One of their pursuers retrieved the discarded bottles and sniffed them carefully. “It’s the smell of energy fruit, at least level five.”

Level five fruits were considered highly valuable energy fruits. What did this mean if they were above level five?

The crowd sighed in disappointment. One of them couldn’t help but mutter, “I really suspect one of those two might be a transcendent plant master.”

“That’s actually possible. I heard the ship from District Eight just landed today,” someone exclaimed excitedly. “The Transcendent Plant Master is here in District 1!”

“Really?”

“Really?”

“Who else would drink energy fruit juice so casually but the transcendent plant master? Making juice from energy fruit would waste a lot of energy.”

Normally, the average citizen would never be so wasteful. Only the transcendent plant master would dare to drink juice made from energy fruits so lavishly.

Everyone turned to the woman who had just insulted Mo Mo and Ye Mo. Their gazes were complicated. She had offended the transcendent plant master—would she face retribution?

While people were pondering whether the master would seek revenge, some had already targeted the woman, hoping to use her as a bargaining chip to earn favours from the master.

However, before anyone could approach her, the woman shrieked, “I’m the only one who saw what the master looks like!”

That statement made everyone stop in their tracks.

Right! They had been too focused on chasing after them and didn’t get a good look at the master’s appearance, but this woman had been right in front of them and even argued with the master.

So… the crowd swarmed around her. “What does the master look like?”

“Can you draw her appearance?”

“Do you remember what she looks like?”

“The master must be a woman.”

“I didn’t clearly see that woman’s face, even though she ran right past me.”

“Yeah, me neither!”

“And that man, tall and lean, with a really fit body. At first, I thought he might look good, but somehow his face seemed off.”

“His figure kind of reminds me of General Mo!” someone joked.

And then, everyone went silent.

General Mo?

No way, right?

But then again, maybe!

“Are you all thinking what I’m thinking?”

“Could it be the master and General Mo?”

“But General Mo is clearly on a military ship heading to the Beast Clan’s star zone. I’ve seen the videos—it can’t be General Mo!”

“But the physique really looks like General Mo!”

“Yeah, I thought so too!”

“That’s impossible. General Mo is married, and his wife’s name is Ye Mo. I heard that Ye Mo got dragged into space by some guy while on the ship heading here, and many people saw it. But the news was suppressed by Prince Caser.”

“No way?”

“If that’s the case, then it’s definitely not General Mo. If General Mo were on the ship, he wouldn’t let his wife be pulled into space.”

“But I heard that his wife sold all six of their children.”

“She didn’t sell all of them—she sold five and gave one away.”

“General Mo must be furious!”

“If General Mo really left with that master, then his wife might have sold the kids out of spite.”

“Love turned into deep resentment?”

“Not ruling out the possibility!”

“If that’s the case, then General Mo’s heart is too cruel!”
