Chapter 218: Huan Yun

Under Xu Xiang’s scrutinizing gaze, Mu Yucheng became more nervous, and quickly said, "Let’s go back."

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, she said, "Wait a minute. I need to get my bathtub back."

Leaving that sentence behind, Xu Xiang turned around and left without seeing his ears turn red. After a few minutes, she came out of the bathroom and said, "You can put away the building."

He nodded at her, and put the bamboo building back into his spatial ring. After that, they walked back in silence. Along the way, Xu Xiang kept staring at Mu Yucheng, but all she could see was his expressionless face.

Xiao Shao saw them come back in half-dried hair, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Dinner is ready. Let’s eat together."

Xu Xiang looked at the food on the low table and said, "The food looks delicious."

Seeing her smile, Xiao Shao said, "As long as Miss Xu likes it."

Then the three of them had dinner together before going to rest. The next morning, Xu Xiang woke up before dawn. Hearing voices from outside, she sat up, rubbed her eyes in a daze.

"Are you awake?" Mu Yucheng’s calm voice came from outside.

Xu Xiang lifted the curtain, craned her neck out of the window, and saw him standing beside the carriage with crossed arms. She looked around and asked in a hoarse voice: "What happened?"

Mu Yucheng looked at her sleepy look, handed her a water bag and said, "A group of refugees blocked our way."

She took the water bag, took a sip, then looked at a group of people standing in the distance, and asked, "What do they want from us?"

Before he could answer her, they heard a commotion from there. The two looked at each other for a moment, before Xu Xiang said, "Let’s go and have a look."

"I’m not your daughter!" Screamed a young woman as she pushed a thin middle-aged man away.

"Aiyo!" Pushed by her, the thin middle-aged man staggered and fell to the ground.

An old woman quickly helped him up, glared at the young woman, pointed at her nose and shouted: "Unfilial daughter! How dare you push your father!"

The young woman grabbed the corner of her dirty clothes tightly, kept shaking her head, and desperately said, "I said I’m not your granddaughter! I’m not his daughter! My father is the commander of the space fleet!"

Listening to her words, Xu Xiang frowned. Standing beside Xiao Shao, she said, "Young Master Xiao, good morning."

Xiao Shao turned to look at her, and said gently: "Miss Xu, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

"I slept well last night thanks to the cushion you gave me." She said with a smile.

Pointing to the young woman, she asked curiously: "What is happening here?"

Xiao Shao turned to look at the thin middle-aged man and said, "That man wants to exchange his daughter for water and food, but the young woman kept saying she was not his daughter."

Listening to his explanation, Xu Xiang was not surprised. After the apocalypse began in her original world, countless people sold their families and lovers for a small vial of nutrient solution. While this is the norm in her world at that time, she always feels disgusted every time she sees the same thing happen. Unfortunately, she cannot change the norm of human trafficking in her world by herself.

Standing beside her, both Xiao Shao and Mu Yucheng noticed her emotional changes. Mu Yucheng looked at the young woman, then looked at her and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Xiang turned to look at him and said with a smile: "I didn’t say I want to do something."

Mu Yucheng observed her expression for a moment and said, "You seems unhap–"

A trembling voice suddenly came with a hint of surprise before he could finish what he wanted to say.

"Xu Xiang?"

Because he was interrupted, Mu Yucheng turned around and saw the young woman looking at Xu Xiang excitedly.

He looked at the joyful expression on the young woman’s face, then looked at Xu Xiang, and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Xu Xiang looked at the young woman for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "I do not know her."

The young woman became anxious after hearing her words. She took a few steps towards Xu Xiang, but was stopped by Ying Yi.

She looked at Xu Xiang, quickly wiped away her tears, and said, "I study in the same military academy as you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Shao turned to look at Xu Xiang. He frowned slightly, before looking at the young woman again.

Xu Xiang stared at the young woman in front of her, trying to remember where she met her. A few seconds later, she shook her head and said, "I’ve never seen you before. Who are you?"

The young woman said, "Interstellar United Military Academy, student number MASP2547-0257, Department of Strategy and Politics, Huan Yun. Are you the younger sister of the legendary Senior Xu Xuan?"

Hearing the name of her elder brother and the name of her military academy from the young woman’s lips, Xu Xiang’s eyes turned cold.

She clenched her hands and asked coldly: "How do you know about my elder brother?"

Hearing Xu Xiang’s question, Huan Yun’s eyes lit up, and she hastily said, "He is my idol. I know about you too. You are one of the best students in the Department of Biological Weapons Technology. We enrolled in the military academy in the same year."

This time, after Huan Yun finished speaking, Xu Xiang looked at the thin middle-aged man and asked, "How much?"

The thin, middle-aged man was confused by her question. Xu Xiang frowned slightly, and asked coldly: "How much do you want to sell her?"

Hearing her question again, the thin middle-aged man came back to his senses. He quickly showed a flattering smile and said, "One hundred... Oh no, five hundred taels of silver!"
