Chapter 133 - Lan Xuanyu’s Turmoil
Chapter 133: Lan Xuanyu’s Turmoil
It was all the strength of one man. Just one man was enough to change the entire situation!
He single-handedly dealt with the spaceship’s main cannon, then used one leg to destroy a meteor-class attack spaceship. It was simply an impossible feat!
Could a man’s strength truly wield such a degree of power? Was he even human? Or was it as the legends said, a god?
Everything inside the spaceship returned to normal.
All the ship’s crew and personnels rejoiced.
Having originally plunged into despair, the crew thought they were destined to die from the space pirates’ spaceship attack.
But, everything suddenly took a turn when the gold dragon head appeared and reversed the situation, instead destroying all the space pirates.
How it happened was unimportant. The most important thing was that everyone had survived!
Le Qingling stood there like a statue as she stared at Tang Le, who had suddenly reappeared before her.
Tang Le raised his hands and shrugged. “What?”
Le Qingling gulped, raised her hand, and suddenly touched his face. For so many years, she had never dared to do such a thing.
His cheeks were warm and his skin felt extremely good, so much so that it was even better than hers. It was flexible and smooth, and felt good to the touch.
Even more importantly, he was a human! A real, tangible person stood before her.
However, she had seen everything. Lan Xuanyu and her were the only two who witnessed the person who resolved the battle.
“What, what exactly is going on with you?” Le Qingling stammered.
Tang Le sighed. “If I said that I don’t know myself, would you believe me?
“When you saved me from the sea, I had already lost all my memories. The golden dragon you saw should be my past companion or the Spirit Soul you mentioned to me before. But it has fallen into a deep slumber, and I am unable to awaken it. I’m still unable to recall my past, but I am gradually getting the sense that I have abilities that stand out from the masses. There are times when even I am shocked at what I can do, and I’m unsure as to where these abilities come from. Maybe I am a Soul Master as well. But, as I am different from the others, I did not dare reveal anything in front of you.”
Le Qingling looked at him blankly. “Does anyone else know about this? Just now, did everyone see what you did?”
Tang Le shook his head. “No. When I made my move, I shrouded their senses, so no one was able to see me. No one will know that it was me.”
Le Qingling heaved a sigh of relief, and her eyes became clear once again. She raised her hand and caressed Tang Le’s face. “You mean to say, I am the only one who knows about this?”
Tang Le looked out of the window at the space warship floating in space and nodded his head.
Le Qingling sighed, “That’s good, that’s good. We cannot let anyone know of this. I don’t wish for anyone to take you away and treat you as a lab specimen. Remember this, you are Young Noble Le, the Young Noble Le that only knows how to sing, not some powerful Soul Master! Please do not reveal your abilities in the future, unless you are forced to do so. Heavens! I have never heard of a pirate spaceship being destroyed by the bare hands of a man. Soul Masters are actually that powerful?”
Tang Le shook his head gently. “It’s not that simple. What I did just now was the result of me using all the power in my body. If I had not detonated the Soul guidance core inside the spaceships, it would not have been so easy. I have a feeling that I used to be strong in the past, but I am unable to grasp this power now. After all, I am unable to recall my past. Mostly, I feel that I can only instinctively bring out a bit of my power.”
“Then don’t think about it any longer,” Le Qingling said. “But it truly is strange! If you’re so powerful, all the powerful Soul Masters should know who you are. However, you’ve been out for so long, yet no one has stepped forward to claim your identity.”
Tang Le laughed bitterly. “Claim? You think I’m some sort of pet, do you?”
Le Qingling giggled, then raised her hand towards his face once more. However, this time, Tang Le did not give her the opportunity to do so and retreated a step. “That’s more than enough! Don’t take advantage of me.”
“Attention all passengers, attention! Fortune shines upon us, for we have overcome the ordeal. I am the captain of the ship. Our enemies, the pirates, have been destroyed. Although I do not know where the golden dragon came from, we are all safe now. When the mechas and warships that protected us return, we will continue with our journey. We will move towards Heaven Dou Planet quickly. Everything will be fine, and I hope that everyone will remain calm and collected. In a moment, we will be distributing some food to everyone.”
The spaceship announcement finished coming out. Yes, the matter had been resolved.
It was as though everything had been a dream.
When Lan Xuanyu’s space warship returned to the spaceship, over 10 crew members welcomed him in, along with a round of applause as well as cheers.
There was no doubt that it was the gold dragon that had turned the tide. Notwithstanding, Lan Xuanyu’s magnificent feat of destroying two pirate mechas had left a deep impression on everyone. His exquisite control, especially, was simply too outstanding.
“Welcome back, esteemed pilot. I am the captain of the spaceship, Sun Weiping. Thank you for...”
The captain was a 40 year-old middle-aged man. He had brought along the crew to personally receive Lan Xuanyu with gratitude, but upon taking in Lan Xuanyu’s appearance, he stopped midway in his speech.
Good looking, he was too good looking. When Lan Xuanyu stood right before him, revealing his childlike face and his height, which was two heads shorter than his own, Sun Weiping was no longer able to speak.
“Eh... you, you’re the pilot?” Sun Weiping asked in shock.
At the moment, Lan Xuanyu’s mind was still on the magnificent explosion and replied in a daze, “Yes! It’s me.”
Sun Weiping’s first reaction was that it was impossible, and he immediately turned to the flight attendant that brought Lan Xuanyu over.
The flight attendant nodded his head. “It’s him, it’s indeed him. He claimed to have learned space warship piloting before, and I was panicking, so brought him here...”
Sun Weiping did not know what to say. The child before him was what, 13 or 14? They actually allowed a kid to pilot the space warship? But, he actually destroyed two mechas!
The phrase ‘the ignorant have no fear’ was truly apt here!
“Cough cough. Kid, you... were terrific. On behalf of the entire crew, you have our deepest gratitude. You... You’re truly a newborn calf that does not fear the tiger!” All the compliments and phrases he had thought of previously were useless against a kid.
“Captain uncle, can I request something?” Lan Xuanyu suddenly looked at Sun Weiping pitifully.
This time, not only did Sun Weiping’s expression freeze, but the faces of the other crew members also turned strange.
Isn’t this the kid that performed those stunts with the space warship and even destroyed two mechas?
“What is it?” Sun Weiping asked.
“Can you not tell my parents about what I just did?” Lan Xuanyu said. “Just say that I went to the toilet and got stuck inside. Is that ok?”
Sun Weiping chuckled bitterly. “Kid! It’s not that your uncle isn’t willing to help you, but think about it. This is a huge matter, and Heaven Dou Planet will definitely investigate everything clearly. How can we hide such a matter? If we hide it now, we will still have to explain everything to the authorities. And you’ve contributed greatly today and will definitely be commended. This is extremely beneficial for your future. You truly have great courage for someone your age.”
