74 Dasao

Qian Xu coldly ordered: "Let her go."   

One-eyed bee was perplexed, "Boss?"   

"Let go!"   

One-eyed bee hurriedly took off the handcuffs shackled Luo Xun and looked at Luo Xun with incessant astonishment then looked at the boss again. A group of people stick their head out of the dining room entrance and quietly peeped.

Qian Xu grabbed Luo Xun's hand and walked away, leaving inhalation sighs behind.

Qian Xu took Luo Xun into a spacious cabin that looked like a captain's lounge.   

Luo Xun was as if losing her soul. Her expression seemed sad and seemed happy. Her eyes kept staring at him unblinkingly.   

Qian Xu didn't seemed to like her gaze very much and immediately put on a thin half-face mask, covering half of the face above the lips, intentionally reminding Luo Xun of something.   

Luo Xun was a bit awake. He was not Qian Xu, but Yin Nanzhao!   

Yin Nanzhao asked: "How did you get on the spaceship?"   

"Anda knocked me out. When I woke up, I was already here."   

Yin Nanzhao instantly understood Anda's intentions and felt helpless at all in his head doing, "You have been on the spaceship for five days. Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"  

Luo Xun shook her head and abruptly asked, "Can I touch your neck for a moment?"   

Yin Nanzhao was taken aback.

Luo Xun didn't wait for his answer and stretched out her hand with half-closed her eyes and slowly touched from his neck side to his collarbone.

It was really Qian Xu. Qian Xu was really still alive!   

Although she had already guessed that Yin Nanzhao was Qian Xu long ago, but to confirm it with her own eyes after touching him with her own hands still made her surged with emotions, all kinds of feelings were tangled and complicated.

Her lips showed absent-minded smile, yet her eyes glistened moving tears.

Yin Nanzhao came to a response, "You...recognized this way?"

"Umm."   

Luo Xun moved her hand up, wanted to take off the mask, Yin Nanzhao abruptly turned his head away.

Luo Xun was puzzled, "Why?"   

"I am not Qian Xu." Yin Nanzhao's voice was both cold and stiff without any emotion.   

"I had called Qian Xu just now and you showed up."   

Yin Nanzhao was silent and took a big step back, still not allowing Luo Xun to take off his mask.

Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded and someone called through the communicator: "Boss, those swarming bugs are catching up again."   

Yin Nanzhao ordered: "Get the warplane ready. I will be there in one minute."   

Yin Nanzhao seated Luo Xun on the safety chair, "Fasten the seat belt. Don't move around until the alarm is cleared."   

Luo Xun said, "I will wait for you to come back."   

Yin Nanzhao stared at her a glance and left without saying a word.   

The spaceship had been violently bumping as if it had encountered a violent attack.   

Luo Xun's heart was like on a string, wondering who Yin Nanzhao was fighting against. Was it the Dragon Blood unit? Apparently he was the Consul of Odin Federation, yet why he had become a pirate leader?   

The battle lasted for more than half an hour. The light on the safety seat changed from red to green, indicating that the spaceship had entered a safe flight mode.

Luo Xun unfastened her seat belt, but did not know where to find Yin Nanzhao.   

The cabin door suddenly opened. One-eyed bee rushed in and dragged Luo Xun to run, "Boss is injured."

"What?"   

Luo Xun panicked and madly ran after him. She rushed to the medical room in one breath and saw Yin Nanzhao dripping with blood lying on the floor while several large men surrounding around were standing stupidly.   

Luo Xun asked, "Where's the doctor?"   

Everyone pointed to the white cocoon-shaped treatment pod. Luo Xun was speechless.   

She quickly disinfected her hands, put on medical gloves, and said unhappily: "You all just let him lie on the floor like this?"   

"Boss never let us touch him after he got injured. He had us called you before he fell unconscious."   

"Don't let you touch? How to deal with the wound?"   

"Boss takes care himself, always says that just a little wound, won't be dead.

Luo Xun couldn't figure out what this peculiarity was. She bent down to pick Yin Nanzhao up to place him on the treatment bed.   

As soon as her hand touched his body, he immediately opened his eyes with the gun in his hand pointed at her. His gaze was cold and malicious like a ferocious beast choosing a person to devour. If she didn't know that he was really injured, she must have thought that his injury was a trick to bait the enemy.   

One-eyed bee squeezed his voice and said in horror: "Because like this! Not touching him and it's okay. Retreat, quickly retreat..."   

This was not the first time Luo Xun touched his body. She simply didn't pay attention at all and directly held his hand, "It's me!"   

Yin Nanzhao's gaze gradually lost into the misty river and let Luo Xun took the gun then shut his eyes.  

Everyone was as if relieved from a heavy load and let out a long sigh.

Luo Xun picked up Yin Nanzhao and put him on the treatment bed. She recalled his peculiarity and looked at the men around then demanded without hesitation: "You all go out."   

The tattooed man said gently: "You just put boss into the treatment pod and use the automatic treatment program. We will guard outside. Call us anytime if you need anything." Words of double meaning, both a concern and a warning.  

Luo Xun understood their feelings, and nimbly responded "OK"

After they had all left, Luo Xun undressed Yin Nanzhao's combat suit and found that his chest and back were badly mangled with deep and shallow wounds.   

Luo Xun immediately did a full-body scan to confirm that there was no serious irreversible damage to internal organs that need transplant surgery then she became relieved.   

She put Yin Nanzhao into the treatment pod and manually set up each treatment procedure and dosage of each medicine according to his injury.   

Seeing that every data on the control panel gradually stabilized, Luo Xun opened the medical room door and said to the man guarding outside: "All good."   

A few men poked their heads and looked at Yin Nanzhao in the treatment pod with concern. They found that the treatment programs were manually set so they asked in surprise, "Are you a doctor?"   

Luo Xun nodded, "How did he get hurt?"

"Our spaceship energy was insufficient so we can only defend and cannot attack. Boss let us run. He drove the warplane to stop that swarming bugs' battleship and blew up one of the opponent's propellers but the boss' warplane was hit by a cannonball."

"The bug is the Dragon Blood unit?"  

A few men looked at each other, but they didn't talk.   

The tattooed man was afraid that Luo Xun's would be awkward, so he actively changed the topic, "I'm Red Dove. This person is One-eyed bee. This person is Falcon..."   

Luo Xun understood that she had asked a question that should not be asked and followed Red Dove's introduction to greet everyone one by one.   

One-eyed bee suddenly asked: "Are you really the boss's woman?"   

Several men all stared at her closely.

Luo Xun knew that they were all ruthless man who licked blood on the blade. She was afraid that if she said something wrong they would immediately draw a gun, so she could only put a bold face on and said, "Yes."   

Several men bowed down all together, "Hello Big Sister*, Please take care of the boss!"   

"..." Luo Xun was stunned.

When Red Dove and the others left, Luo Xun then closed the medical room door.

Seeing the combat suit that she carelessly thrown to the ground in a hurry a moment ago, she bent down and picked it up, planning to hand it over to the robot to clean it.

While folding it, she unintentionally felt a small hard piece of something in the secret pocket on the chest side. She reached in and had taken out an amber.

The brown resin size of a thumb wrapped a small blue mythical flower in it.

Under the light, the blue flower was sparkling through like a precious gem, always in full bloom at the most beautiful moment forever.

Luo Xun's face was full of shock, completely did not expect that the flower amber that she gave to Qian Xu was still there, let alone thinking that Yin Nanzhao would carry it with him.   

This amber was made by herself. At first glance, it looked exactly like natural amber, but it took ten million years to form natural amber. No matter how decent the artificial amber was made, it would not give the sensation that left by time.  

However, she could now feel the warmth and mellowness left by time from this flower amber. There must be someone had touched it countless times, and time had left traces on it.
