Star Odyssey

Chapter 1061



Before long, the ramshackled spacecraft exploded, and a woman holding a girl wearing a set of universal armor appeared. The woman flew into the distance, and Lu Yin could tell that she was just an Explorer. 

The Daynight clan’s spacecraft increased its speed and flew past Lu Yin. Then, a middle-aged Daynight clan member appeared on the roof of the vessel while holding a blade. He looked at the fleeing woman, raised the blade, and ruthlessly slashed down. 

The blade light sliced through the void and left a huge gash on the woman’s back.

She spat out a mouthful of blood as her body was thrown into the distance.

Although she had been severely injured, the woman was still tightly gripping the little girl she was carrying.

Tears welled up in the girl’s eyes, and they flushed red. However, she did not make a single sound as she simply continued to clutch at the fleeing woman.

The man from the Daynight clan snorted, and he lifted his blade once again. However, a ship suddenly appeared from the distance, and it flew straight towards him. 

The middle-aged man frowned and sliced down with his sword. This time, his attack was not directed at the woman, but rather at the approaching spacecraft.

The woman went pale, and she looked at the incoming spacecraft. “Hurry up and flee!”

Inside the vessel, Lu Yin’s expression grew cold. This person was actually attacking instantly and without any warning. This was indeed the attitude of the Daynight clan.

Lu Yin stepped out into space, stored away his spacecraft, and then confronted the incoming blade light. He lifted a hand and easily grabbed the light before using a bit of his strength to squeeze it, shattering the attack. 

The middle-aged man’s expression instantly changed, and he picked up his feet and flew into space. He drew close to Lu Yin, though the woman and the little girl were still between the two men.

“Scram!” Lu Yin shouted. 

The woman was dumbfounded. They were in Daynight Flowzone, but this person actually dared to order this person from the Daynight clan to scram! This was simply too audacious.

The Daynight man was similarly stunned, as he had never encountered such a situation ever since he had been born. On top of that, they were actually in Daynight Flowzone.

“Who are you?” The middle-aged man was not stupid. The fact that this person dared to behave so foolishly showed that he was confident. Thus, it was possible that he might have a good relationship with some senior from the clan. 

Lu Yin arrogantly told the man, “Beat it, and tell Nightking Zhenwu, that I, Lu Yin, am here.”

The middle-aged man was surprised. “You’re Lu Yin?”

Lu Yin raised his hand, directed it at the middle-aged man, and then lightly flicked a finger, sending the man flying. The man was unable to mount any sort of resistance, and his weak spiritual force resistance was blown away like it had been nothing more than a gentle breeze. 

The middle-aged man was flung back several tens of thousands of meters, and the blood within his chest roiled as he suppressed the need to spit out blood. He then went back inside his spacecraft and prepared to leave. 

“Wait a moment, did I say that you could get in the spacecraft? Whoever’s inside, all of you get out and leave that ship behind,” Lu Yin ordered. 

The middle-aged man glared at Lu Yin. “Lu Yin, you’re being too arrogant! This is Daynight Flowzone.”

“So what?” Lu Yin did not care, his behavior incomparably tyrannical. The Daynight clan behaved in an overbearing manner, so he wanted to be even more excessive than them. 

The middle-aged man was furious, but since this was Lu Yin, he did not dare to say anything else. Lu Yin was someone who had dared become enemies with the entire Daynight clan when he had still been in the Astral Academy. At this moment, Lu Yin’s image was at the top of the clan’s stone plaque in the ancestral grounds. He was the first person who had ever dared to openly learn one of the Daynight clan’s battle techniques, and yet despite that, he had also been invited by the seniors of the clan to attend the Daynight Feast. This was not someone who the middle-aged man could afford to offend. 

Helpless, the middle-aged man exited along with the other members of the Daynight clan who had been controlling the vessel, leaving the spacecraft behind.

To the side, the woman watched this scene take place with a dumbfounded expression on her face. She had never thought that she would run into someone even more arrogant than the Daynight clan, and he was even behaving like this within Daynight Flowzone. 

The girl was still being held by the woman, and she stared at Lu Yin in adoration. Stars could almost be seen shooting out of her eyes. 

After the people from the Daynight clan left, Lu Yin looked over at the woman. “That spacecraft is for you guys, so fly away in that. It’s the Daynight clan’s spacecraft, so nobody will dare to stop you.”

He had helped this woman because, when the man from the Daynight clan had attacked Lu Yin, this woman had shouted for him to escape. From this, her kindness could be readily seen.

The woman’s back was covered in fresh blood, and sweat beaded her forehead. She panted heavily, but nodded and emotionally said, “My name is Bai Shui, and I sincerely thank our benefactor.” 

Lu Yin was about to leave, but when he heard the woman’s name, he looked back in astonishment. Bai Shui? Bai? A primeval surname?

“Your surname is Bai?” Lu Yin asked.

Bai Shui’s expression changed, and she gritted her teeth. “Yes, my surname is Bai.”

Lu Yin stared at her. “Why were you being pursued by the Daynight clan?”

There seemed to be some sort of struggle seen within Bai Shui’s eyes, but finally she spoke. “Because my surname isn’t legal.”

“You have an illegal primeval surname?” Lu Yin was surprised. “Since it’s illegal, then why would you share your name with me? Aren’t you afraid that I’d do something to you?” 

The Human Domain held a special hatred for those with illegal primeval surnames, though the Outerverse was a little better. The further into the Human Domain’s core one went, the stronger the hate.

The woman replied, “Even if it’s illegal, it’s still my surname. Why wouldn’t I give it out?”

Lu Yin stared at her in surprise, and only now did he start to seriously observe the woman. She could not be considered beautiful, but she did have a certain intrinsic elegance and determined mien that made it clear that she was not the type to give up. 

“What’s your connection to this girl?” Lu Yin asked.

Bai Shui stroked the girl’s head. “She’s my daughter, Bai Xiaodie.”

Lu Yin nodded. He then lifted a hand and tossed some of Shamrock Enterprises’ medications to the woman. “You can put it on yourself.”

Bai Shui was grateful. “Thank you.” 

Bai Shui’s injuries were severe, but since she was an Explorer, Lu Yin’s medication was able to quickly bring her injuries under control.

A person with an illegal primeval surname had actually appeared in Daynight Flowzone. This seemed illogical from Lu Yin’s point of view, but there were too many strange incidents in the universe, and he had no ability to worry about one more thing. 

Lu Yin gave the spacecraft to Bai Shui so that she could take her daughter away from Daynight Flowzone. However, Bai Shui instead carried Bai Xiaodie over and knelt down in front of Lu Yin.

“Savior, please help us,” Bai Shui begged, her eyes bloodshot. 

Lu Yin frowned. “So you dared to reveal your surname to me because you heard that man from before speak my name. You know that I also have a primeval surname, so you assumed that I wouldn’t do anything to you. You’re quite smart, but why do you think that I’ll help you?”

Bai Shui replied, “Savior, not only will you be helping us, but you’ll also be helping yourself. The Daynight clan is chasing after us because we have an ancient inheritance’s precious resources. Savior, if you can help me protect those resources, I’m willing to split half of it with you.” 

Lu Yin was curious. “What kind of resources?” 

Bai Shui hesitated, but then she seemed to firm her determination. “It’s a type of frostwater that’s exceptionally cold. When this frostwater is absorbed, the next battle technique that one unleashes will have an extremely strong frost attribute that’s very difficult to remove. Powerhouses within the same realm will be almost entirely unable to resist. To break free, one needs to either be a Lockbreaker or someone capable of unleashing a power far beyond their realm.”

Lu Yin was astonished, but he also did not put too much stock into the woman’s words. There were many similar substances that could be found within the universe, and the Daynight clan had only sent out a few people to chase this woman down. Thus, she clearly did not possess some unbelievable resource. The woman was quite smart, and she hoped to use this frost water to motivate Lu Yin, but she was out of luck. 

“You can go on ahead. I’m not interested in those kinds of resources,” Lu Yin commented.

Bai Shui grew anxious. “Benefactor, such frostwater is truly valuable, and it’s even from an ancient inheritance! There’s definitely no other place in the universe that has this!”

Lu Yin shook his head. “Not interested.”

He then looked back at Bai Shui. “Actually, I am interested in your family. Where are they?”

Bai Shui’s eyes dimmed. “They all died many years ago. Each generation only has one heir.” 

Lu Yin felt that this was quite pitiful. “Why not find a planet and take residence? Or get a legal status?” 

Bai Shui shook her head. “There’s no way for us to get legal surnames here in Daynight Flowzone.” 

“Then go to another flowzone,” Lu Yin replied.

Bai Shui did not seem willing to speak any further on this topic.

Lu Yin sighed. He still wanted to ask more questions about her primeval surname, but it seemed that due to the situation concerning this woman’s family, she would not know anything.

But despite everything, she still lived in Daynight Flowzone. How stubborn. 

As far as Lu Yin was concerned, saving Bai Shui was just a brief intermission. Even if the Daynight clan discovered that he had saved Bai Shui, they would not make any additional trouble for him. 

At this moment, all Lu Yin wanted to do was hitchhike his way over.

The entire Daynight clan knew that Lu Yin was on his way, and everyone was focused on him. Although he had no plans of hiding himself, he also did not want to arrive in too high-profile a manner. Thus, he felt that hitchhiking was a good idea. He would just treat this as a new experience. 

He looked to his left, as he had noticed that quite a number of rune lines had appeared there. Another spacecraft was approaching them. 

He stared at the runes, feeling that this was quite amazing. Was this really a coincidence? The approaching vessel was from the Lingling clan, and Lu Yin could see Ling Que’s rune lines within the spacecraft. 

“Ling Que, Ling Que, I love you! Ling Que, Ling Que, you’re the best!”

“Ling Que, Ling Que, I love you! Ling Que, Ling Que, you’re the best!”

Familiar voices entered Lu Yin’s ears as he stood atop the spacecraft, and he was rendered speechless; Ling Que had actually reformed his cheerleading squad.

Ling Que was currently relaxing inside the spacecraft and sipping on some alcohol as he looked outside. This felt more like the days of the past, when he listened to the adoring worship of his cheerleaders as countless eyes looked upon him with surprise, envy, and even jealousy. This was what he liked to see, as there was nothing better than this. 

This was the second time he would be going to a Daynight Feast, and the first time had been back when he had still been an unrivaled Limiteers. At that time, Nightqueen Yanqing had personally welcomed Ling Que. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye. 

Eh? The voices stopped? Ling Que got upset. “Keep up the cheering. Otherwise, I’ll reduce your pocket money.” 

“Your shameless self-confidence is still the same, Ling Que,” a voice rang out inside the ship.

Ling Que was startled, and he turned around. “Lu Yin?”

Lu Yin was sitting on a sofa and he waved a hand. The cheerleaders were all blankly staring at Ling Que. 

Ling Que waved a hand to dismiss them, and he looked at Lu Yin with surprise. “Why did you come to see me?” 

“I ran into you while I was on my way over,” Lu Yin replied.

Ling Que pursed his lips. “That’s quite the coincidence. You’d best keep moving since I’m afraid of being dragged down by you. Don’t you know that you have enemies all over?”

“Including your Lingling clan?” Lu Yin looked at Ling Que with amusement. 

Ling Que was left speechless. “You’ve damaged the entire Innerverse’s profits, so do you really think that anyone from the Innerverse would be on your side? Besides, this is Daynight Flowzone, and I don’t want to be associated with you and end up suffering a mysterious death.” 

Lu Yin casually replied, “I won’t drag you down. The Daynight clan won’t move against me, at least, not for now.” 

Ling Que was helpless. He had some understanding of Lu Yin and was well aware that it was impossible to chase him away.

“Have you gone to the Cosmic Sea to look for Yaya?” Lu Yin asked. 

Ling Que shook his head. “I’ve been in my clan. If not for this Daynight Feast, I wouldn’t have been able to leave.” 

“Where’s Ling Gong?”

“How would I know? She doesn’t travel with me.”

“You were invited to the Daynight Feast yourself?” Lu Yin asked.

Ling Que’s brows rose, and his expression grew decidedly unwelcoming as he stared at Lu Yin. “What is that supposed to mean? Can only you be personally invited? Right, it’s because you’re so powerful now. You even defeated the Ten Arbiters’ Divine Fist which means that you’re on the same level as Nightking Zhenwu. Don’t underestimate others! My Lingling Clan’s innate gift is very powerful, and once it’s completely integrated, our strength will double. At that time, I’ll definitely be able to catch up to you!”
