Chapter 856: Pompous Welcoming Ceremony
Diya followed Fiennes home, while Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng went their way.
In the quiet cabin, Su Wan rested her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder. She raised her hand and carefully covered Jiang Xuecheng’s palm.
Jiang Xuecheng was taking a nap with his eyes closed. When he felt the palm that was discreetly folded, he slowly opened his eyes.
“Wan Wan, what’s wrong?”
Su Wan tilted her head and shook her head at Jiang Xuecheng. There was a calm smile on her face.
“Nothing much. I was just bored and wanted to touch you.”
As she spoke, Su Wan turned her head and looked out of the metal window.
The galaxy outside was brilliant, like fireflies flashing in a black space, but it was much more spectacular than that.
Su Wan could not help but blink. Although it was not the first time she had seen such a scene, every time she saw the suspended galaxy, she felt a sense of disbelief.
She felt that she was so small, and the universe was so vast.
But no matter what, as long as the man beside her accompanied her, the sense of unease would strangely decrease.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan tilt her head to look at the scenery outside the window, he could not help but whisper.
“Wan Wan, what are you feeling uneasy about?”
Even though Su Wan had disguised herself very well, Jiang Xuecheng still saw the fear and confusion in Su Wan’s heart at a glance.
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was clear and deep. Perhaps it was because he had just taken a nap, but there was still a hint of laziness in his voice.
Su Wan’s calm appearance was exposed, and her heart could not help but thump. She could not help but frown.
How could Jiang Xuecheng see that she was uneasy?!
Su Wan pretended to be calm and rubbed Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder. Her voice was much lighter.
“I’m not uneasy. I’m just enjoying the beautiful scenery.”
Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan did not admit it. He reached out his hand and grabbed Su Wan’s head without any resistance. He forced Su Wan to look into his eyes.
“Is it because of the CHK Virus No.3?”
Su Wan could only shift her gaze back to Jiang Xuecheng. A strange feeling welled up in her heart. It was sour, swollen, with a little bit of fear.
“It’s not just because of that virus. When I saw Diya make peace with me today, I couldn’t help but think, why is there still someone who doesn’t want the two of us to be together even after the conflict with Diya has been resolved?”
If the high priest did not want the two of them to be together, even if there was no virus, she would still be other means in the future.
That woman who looked like Xu Ziyao always had a trick up her sleeves.
This was the case when it came to the child. Now, she was actually trying to break up her relationship with Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan stared at the man in front of her. She could not help but reach out and caress Jiang Xuecheng’s delicate features.
Jiang Xuecheng understood that Su Wan was talking about the high priest.
His originally lazy face instantly turned cold and stern. His eyes narrowed with an undisguised killing intent.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he still hadn’t found a way to completely cure the CHK Virus No.3, he would have long dealt with that woman, the high priest!
Jiang Xuecheng looked at the frightened girl in front of him. He stretched out his long arm and instantly wrapped it around Su Wan’s thin shoulder.
“Wan Wan, don’t be afraid. I will solve those things...”
He would never let go of those who had hurt Su Wan.
On the surface, Jiang Xuecheng had reached an agreement with the high priest. In the dark, they were still searching for a cure for the CHK Virus No.3, as well as those who had participated in the development of the CHK virus.
They were going to Planet Aquamarine to inspect and pacify the people, but it was only a delaying tactic. In order for the high priest to show weakness, they wanted to distract the snake-hearted woman to let her guard down.
...
In about a day’s time, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng arrived at Planet Aquamarine.
While they were still in the spaceship, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng had roughly seen Planet Aquamarine through the electronic screen.
To Su Wan’s surprise, Planet Aquamarine’s environment looked much better than Planet Allen, which was full of metal garbage.
At least it felt like the vegetation coverage wasn’t bad, and just like its name, there was a vast blue ocean.
From the electronic screen, Su Wan could already distinguish which was seawater, which were hills and mountains, and which were groups of buildings.
However...
The economy here should be really underdeveloped.
Because the buildings were generally very low, it did not feel like it was at the level of buildings that should be built in this era.
In addition to the recent frequent natural disasters, the collapse of the buildings was also very serious. From the electronic screen, Su Wan could see many ruins.
...
Jiang Xuecheng turned off the electronic screen. He looked at Su Wan indifferently and gently reminded her.
“Wan Wan, prepare to land. You have to follow me later.”
There were many confidants of the high priest who came to Planet Aquamarine with him. He was really worried about Su Wan, afraid that those people would suddenly attack her.
On the other hand, Jiang Xuecheng also understood that with the presence of the CHK Virus No.3, the high priest would not be stupid enough to harm Su Wan on Planet Aquamarine.
However, it was best to be careful. When Su Wan was infected by the CHK Virus No.3 at the gala, it was also because Jiang Xuecheng had been too trusting of the High Priest. He had never thought that the high priest would dare to do such a thing at that time.
Su Wan understood that Jiang Xuecheng was doing this for her own good, so she immediately nodded.
“Okay, I’ll stick to you like a piece of gum later.”
...
Planet Aquamarine’s airport was in a pitiful state.
When they landed from orbit, Su Wan felt that landing here was no different from landing in the wilderness.
Soon, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng came down together.
There were many people gathered outside the spaceship. There were even many primary and secondary school students in school uniforms. They were holding flowers in their hands as they lined up in front of the spaceship.
The middle-aged man with a big belly and a face full of oil was probably the executive officer of Planet Aquamarine.
After Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng came down, Su Wan immediately saw a pretty middle-school girl with a ponytail walk up and shyly offer flowers to Jiang Xuecheng.
“Welcome, Your Highness...”
Jiang Xuecheng reached out and took the flower from the middle-school girl. His face was cold, and his voice was as calm as the lake.
“Thank you.”
The middle school girl walked away with a red face.
Then, there was a round of warm applause.
The temples on Su Wan’s forehead suddenly jumped. It was not that she was crazy enough to be jealous of a girl who was at most 13 or 14 years old, but she felt that she could not escape from the situation no matter where she went!
And they even brought a bunch of primary and secondary school students...
This was too...
Although Su Wan did not like this kind of situation, it did not mean that it was the same for others.
The middle-aged man with a big belly and a face full of oil and flour was obviously very satisfied with the effect that he had created,
The executive officer half bent his waist and asked Jiang Xuecheng respectfully.
“Your Highness, you have worked hard on your way here. Would you like me to take you to eat first?”
Su Wan did not like that executive officer to begin with. When she saw that person’s fawning expression, her frown deepened.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuecheng had already spoken.
“Let’s not be in a hurry to eat first. How’s the disaster situation recently? Have the disaster victims been settled?”
