Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 441 Landing and Discovery

“The percentage of oxygen is higher here, but it is not a big deal. No smart life or modern civilization has been discovered so far. This star is primitive… And it’s perfect for those guys from the alliance. They think they are better than other smart beings.”

When Lin Luoran is talking, Colin Weir stands right beside her. His shirt is drenched with sweat. Colin guesses the reason why Lin Luoran chose this place is not only to revenge but more importantly, on this remote star, those alliance members will never be found.

Without killing, she makes the debt paid.

“Xiaozhi, let’s land.” People from the earth only feel at ease on the ground. Since the biggest danger on the star is just unknown beasts, Lin Luoran decides to land.

Of course, she won’t let those captured from Alpha Alliance affect her mood to play. Out of the starship, Xiaozhi can no longer block the signal. In case the captives give away their location, every one of them is searched and scanned carefully. Even liquid signal devices can’t be brought.

Gaut Sutherland is a reason why they get searched. Otherwise, who would have known his family badge is a mini signal transmitter? For the safety of their core members, the big families did invest a lot in those devices.

After an overall search, Lin Luoran askes Xiaozhi to equip each of them with an alloy sword. The swords are sharp, but no one, even the most talented, can send a signal with them for help.

Prisoners, lizard soldiers, officers, and maintenance personnel of the space station add up to almost 200 people. Forced onto a larger airship, they along with Lin Luoran are carried to the other side of the star—On the vast continent, there is an unexplored wild forest.

“Is it wild enough for you to conquer?”

Lin Luoran puts them on the ground and waves at them kindly.

The airship goes away, leaving those people with their alloy sword. They still haven’t figured out the situation. Suddenly, large beasts rush out of the bush. Used to be supported by the earth’s supplies, these technicians now have to pick up the alloy sword to protect themselves.

Gaut Sutherland blows up, slashing a leopard with his sword.

With the skills he has, Gaut can easily protect himself on this wild star. But as a future general with a bright prospect, he can’t accept to be a “savage”, and exiled all his life.

Meanwhile, Colin Weir, the notorious idler of Caesar Star, seems to be the lucky one—Life is fucking unfair!

Lin Luoran sighs. These people didn’t invade the earth. She doesn’t want to get blood on her hands by killing the innocent. But neither does she want to let these bullies get away with it. With support from Alpha Alliance, they did whatever they want on the earth.

There is no right or wrong. But they are bound to take the opposite sides.

Feeling relieved, Lin Luoran returns to the starship on the airship. Opposite to where the people of Alpha Alliance was left, an orange sea lies in between. They can’t get here on foot.

Lin Luoran is back. Walking through the jungle under the protection of a robot, Ma Shuangshuang cheered towards her. “Aunt Lin, look at the flowers here! They are beautiful.”

That’s a cluster of gorgeous orchids, standing in elegance with wild charm. Even Lin Luoran who can’t appreciate flowers sees their beauty.

Although they call the star primitive, it is home to a variety of creatures. Lin Luoran finds Colin Weir staring at a tall tree. She stops there.

The tree is full of monkeys. They look the same as monkeys from the earth. While the monkeys are picking fruits and stuffing them in their mouths, Lin Luoran jumps onto the tree and picks one, too. These long fruits are milky white. A line of words pops up in Lin’s mind: Baobab tree, fifty-six years old.

Is it edible? Colin Weir is stunned that the mysterious female cultivator is gorging the unknown fruit. She is really unfastidious. He thinks.

In fact, it is because Lin Luoran is too fastidious. No matter how indifferent she looks, she remains a foodie inside! Besides she won’t get poisoned anyway. Why not try new food as she wants?

The fruit has a milky fragrance. It is not very juicy. You can even taste some starch with the tip of your tongue. Thinking of its name, Lin Luoran comes up with an idea. Can she roast it?

She calls back the three young people walking in the jungle. After picking the fruit, Lin makes some skewers and put them over a fire pit. She then rolls them quickly. Lin Luoran knows the starchy fruit will puff up, but she doesn’t expect there will be oil oozing out on the golden crust. It tastes like bread so much.

While she gives out the cooked baobab to others, the little fox hurries back from the forest following the smell. Looking at some plants the fox just picks, Lin Luoran feels they are full of Reiki.

“How dare you eat without me!”

In fury, the little fox tries to grab a fruit but ends up getting burned. Everyone bursts into laughter.

But Colin Weir is confused that the little fox only stares at him with its angry eyes. Such treatment makes him feel like an outsider.

Introverted as usual, Han Weiya’s horizon is broadened as she travels with them on the starship. Although she still covers her face with a hat, Lin Luoran feels she becomes more willing to open up.

Lin Luoran decides to show these young people around the mountains. Xiaozhi is upset for it can’t come along— It can scan the whole star within a few seconds, but without a body, walking on solid ground is just a wish.

Colin Weir falters. “I can stay on the starship and watch the collected soil and plant samples. Once attached to a robot, the intelligent brain program can go with you.”

Colin Weir talks with some concerns. It’s a good idea, but maybe Lin Luoran won’t trust him. After all, he can run away if left alone on the starship.

Lin Luoran doesn’t know what he is worried about, nor does she ask anything. Excited about this proposal, Xiaozhi chooses a small white robot and gets inside. It feels much different to view the world with robotic eyes from with scanning devices.

Colin Weir stands there even after the rest of them walk away. As a kid, he knew he wasn’t a good material for self-cultivation. Abandoning himself to despair, he turned himself into a notorious idler on the Caesar Star. Even his family had given up on him…Has he ever been trusted like this before?

Colin Weir laughs at himself. Perhaps the powerful female cultivator doesn’t even take him seriously.

However, the unspeakable feeling of “being trusted” lingers. He takes off the “Waterside Attraction” family badge on his chest and breaks it apart.

They didn’t ask, so he didn’t say anything. But in his family badge, there is also a signal tracker.

But now, there is nothing.

… He has decided to be a new man anyway. It’s better to stay away from troubles and start a new life.

“That one. That one. All of them.” Cyan little fox walks around in the forest like a streak of smoke, looking for valuable plants to dig out. Deeply embarrassed, Lin Luoran has to introduce those plants to the whole crew.

These are all precious spirit herbs. Many of them are not even planted in Lin Luoran’s space. But Lin still recognizes them, for she has the weird notebook to manage plants she has. The little fox does have a pair of sharp eyes.

Ma Shuangshuang misses the delicious baobab. She suggests removing the tree as well. Lin Luoran flicks her head, telling her to feel the Reiki in nature rather than taking what she wants.

Xiaozhi can’t understand the human behavior of intimacy. It comes to comfort Ma Shuangshuang. “When the robot takes the soil, we can grow various plants on the starship. You will eat baobab then.”

The little white robot he chooses for himself is pretty cute. Step by step, Xiaozhi walks steadily in the jungle.

Han Weiya is the weakest one, not much better than Ma Shuangshuang in the past. Shortly after walking, She is out of breath. Staying together for days, they have made acquaintance with each other. Ma Yiming wants to help Han Weiya by giving her a hand, but he knocks off her hat by mistake.

Han Weiya has very fair skin, cute cheeks, and pretty facial features. However, some red lines extend from her left eye and cover her forehead. She is disfigured. Her fair skin doesn’t add beauty but highlights the red lines, making her face more distorted.

After getting shocked for a few seconds, Ma Yiming tries to put back her hat.

Young and inexperienced, Ma Shuangshuang can’t hold herself back, covering her mouth with her hands in surprise.

Xiaozhi behaves normally as usual. As artificial intelligence, it doesn’t understand human aesthetics. Lin Luoran “saw” it long ago, and cyan little fox knows it well.

The most frightened is Han Weiya. Having been gradually opening up, she has not mentally prepared to expose her most caring appearance. Lowering her head, she is haunted by so many emotions. Inferiority, embarrassment, indignation. Han Weiya’s eyes are filled with tears.

As she is about to cry, Ma Yiming hurries to apologize. Lin Luoran shakes her head in disagreement. In the primitive jungle with bare sunlight, the cyan little fox sounds especially mean.

“It’s just a dirty thing on your face. Why do you care about it so much? Wash it away.”

Han Weiya explodes, yelling. “What do you know, it’s not on your face!”

Wash it off? If it’s that easy to remove it, why does she have to get away from her loved ones? Why is she wandering with them in the space?

The cyan little fox still doesn’t see it as that big a deal. It rubs her face and gives Han Weiya a mirror from Lin Luoran.

Han Weiya hasn’t looked into a mirror for years. She dare not to do so. Suddenly, Ma Shuangshuang screams. “It’s gone.”

Han Weiya then dares to look in the mirror. There is a small, clean face without a single red line. She couldn’t help smiling. But in the blink of an eye, the red lines emerge under her skin, occupying her full and clean forehead, and the corner of her watery beautiful eyes.

“You liar!”

Han Weiya smashes the mirror, running into the jungle in tears.

They take her to heaven and then let her fall into hell. She would rather have no hope in the first place!

The siblings of the Ma family think that cyan little fox goes too far. However, the arrogant creature doesn’t take them seriously. It doesn’t think it has done anything wrong.

Only Lin Luoran smiles. She twists the fox’s ears. “Since you’ve already shown the magic, you are responsible now. Go get her.”

Grinning and scratching, the fox curses Lin Luoran for a while. Finally stepping on the ground, it combs its fur and runs to Han’s direction.

The siblings feel weird. They look at Lin Luoran, wanting to know what has happened.

Lin Luoran sits on a clean lawn with others around. She begins to explain what happened.

Since her first glance at Han Weiya, Lin has noticed something. With White Fairy, a walking encyclopedia, Lin soon recognized the thing in Han Weiya—a monster goblin, a creature more inferior than other monsters and elves.

To be precise, the girl is not poisoned or sick. She’s got something inside, something like an “evil spirit” …

“Were you being indifferent these days to irrigate the evil spirit?” Ma Shuangshuang is very curious. After finding her Seven Senses, she always wants to know more about supernatural creatures.

Lin Luoran nods. But cyan little fox’s harsh words do work better than her coldness day by day.

The spirit in Han Weiya is an impatient fool. In fact, it is very easy to handle for those with their personal ability. When Bolus Fire burns inside, the spirit has no way to escape. However, Han Weiya has been possessed for so long that her body gets weak. That’s why Lin Luoran did not mention any “treatment”. She only invites her to meals every day, nourishing her body with Reiki food.

Now she only hopes that fox is gentler to Han. Lin Luoran then tells the siblings some common knowledge about improving personal ability. The night has fallen. Thanks to the two stars shining on them, the jungle only gets darker from different angles, not completely dark.

But they have gone for two hours. Did the fox fail?

Lin Luoran is a little worried. She is going to find them with her spiritual mind when a cyan thing dashes back. The fox’s fur is all blown up.

” Where is Han Weiya?”

The fox comes back alone. As an ordinary person, Han Weiya is not in a safe place now, although the starship is nearby.

“… There is a cultivator on this star!” The cyan little fox is out of breath. It takes some time for it to finish the sentence.

Lin Luoran stands up at once. A cultivator? How is it possible? Even the landing of the starship didn’t alarm the cultivators … Or they have been watching them in secret? She should have been more careful when they can’t tell friends from enemies.

“Take me there!”

Having heard there are other cultivators, the siblings of the Ma family get excited. Lin Luoran only tells them the bright side of cultivation, but not everyone with personal ability is kind. She doesn’t want to put them under risks. Lin Luoran gradually calms down. She takes the siblings and Xiaozhi back to the starship, calls back the robots, and only leaves the cyan little fox with her. Seeing the starship rise safely to the height where ordinary cultivators can’t reach, she returns with the fox.

“Let’s be clear, what just happened? How did you find the cultivators? Did they attack you first?”
