The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 368: Strange
Su Ruan knew that Lu Shinian was quite busy now. After all, his power had just stabilized, and now that he was leaving, it was inevitable that there would be some loose ends.
Lu Shinian needed to take care of those troublesome things before he could rush to her side.
Su Ruan understood this very well, but the feeling of grievance made her a little downhearted.
The influence of her emotions made her voice sound a bit more aggrieved, "I had a good chat with Mother."
She looked at Lu Shinian with longing eyes, as if she wanted to fly to his side through the virtual screen.
"Mother told me a lot about the Empire."
Given the current situation, they would probably have to stay in the Empire for a while, so it was very necessary to understand more about it.
Although Su Ruan’s tone was fairly normal, and her expression did not change much, Lu Shinian still keenly sensed her unusualness.
He brought the camera closer, raising his hand to pat the lens, as if he had touched Su Ruan.
"Ruan Ruan, are you unhappy?"
His voice was low, sounding especially sensual in the quiet room.
"No," Su Ruan replied softly, "Talking to you already makes me very happy."
As Su Ruan spoke, she shared with Lu Shinian the information about the Empire that her mother had told her, and didn’t forget to add, "Third Brother is now on Firelight Star, and I wonder how he’s doing there."
Lu Shinian chatted with her with a smile, and even though they were separated by a screen, the atmosphere between them was intimate and warm.
Meanwhile, at that moment, Cheng Qingye, who was on Su Ruan’s mind, was at the very center of Firelight Star, in its Forbidden Land—Fire Lodge.
Firelight Star, true to its name, is full of volcanoes, with eruptions nearly every day, making it almost impossible to find a large stretch of plain.
From a distance in the universe, Firelight Star looks like a burning fireball.
The environment here is much harsher than Wanling Star, so the population is very sparse, with a household only every hundred miles, truly scarce of human presence.
Because of this, even though Cheng Qingye ventured into the Forbidden Land, he wasn’t discovered.
Even if discovered, it would still take a while to notify the Star Lord.
After all, there are very few signal towers on Firelight Star, so even with the Light Brain, the signal is very poor, often taking an hour or two for a message to be sent out.
This is also why Cheng Qingye is so fearless.
But even if the Star Lord came, Cheng Qingye wouldn’t be afraid. As the king of the Insect Race, he wouldn’t fear mere humans.
Cheng Qingye looked at the crater beneath him, antennae protruding abruptly from the top of his head.
"Strange."
He muttered softly.
He actually felt a very strong force here.
Could it be the planetary core that Lu Zhiya mentioned?
Cheng Qingye became interested, his figure swaying as he directly delved under the volcano.
The depths of the earth were surrounded by dense magma. Cheng Qingye formed a thin membrane with his spiritual power to envelop himself, thus avoiding the erosion of the magma.
He walked steadily, following the powerful force.
The further he went inside, the more intense the heat of the solidifying flames became, almost burning Cheng Qingye.
Even with spiritual power protection, fine sweat appeared on Cheng Qingye’s forehead.
He frowned slightly, a rare trace of displeasure appearing on his exquisite face.
But at this moment, the environment before him changed.
Invisible ripples spread out, and as he pursued the center of the power, he saw...
