Chapter 1469: Little Sister is Going Too?!!
Xiuluo Holy Star, Central City Spaceport.
A Mars-class Battlecruiser was docked at the main berth, the emblem of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance on its bow gleaming in the morning light.
In the spaceport's waiting hall, five Young Primarchs stood in a row.
"Just us?"
Leman Russ spoke first.
"Father, adding the five of us, it seems... not that many."
Fulgrim nodded.
"Guilliman is handling matters for the Canaan Star Alliance, Luojia is busy with the public statement for the Luoke Empire, and Perturabo is working on his engineering projects. Father only brought us this time."
He paused, as if confirming something.
"As for the others... there doesn't seem to be any sign of them coming either."
Alpharius looked around.
"So, the ones going to the Bone Crushing Factory this time are just the five of us?"
Omegon took over.
"And Father, that should be everyone."
Curze stood in the back, not speaking, his gaze sweeping toward the entrance of the spaceport to confirm that a certain familiar little figure had not appeared in his field of vision.
Fulgrim's brow relaxed slightly, and he said with relief.
"No one else, it seems this is our lineup for the trip."
Leman Russ's shoulders also relaxed.
"That's good, the journey should be quite pleasant."
Hearing his words, Fulgrim couldn't help but laugh.
"A rare moment of peace is also a kind of happiness."
A moment later, Yingzhou's voice came from behind them.
"All here?"
The five turned around simultaneously.
Yingzhou walked over from the other end of the passage, and the five bowed slightly at the same time.
"Father."
Yingzhou nodded.
"Since everyone is here, prepare to board."
He turned and walked toward the Mars-class Battlecruiser.
Fulgrim followed.
"Father, are we leaving now?"
Yingzhou said.
"Waiting for one person."
Fulgrim was stunned.
"Someone else is coming?"
Yingzhou said.
"Yes, Yingxin is coming with us, her mother will bring her over in a moment."
The footsteps of the five Young Primarchs stopped at the same time.
Yingzhou continued.
"Yingxin has always wanted to go out and see the world, this is a perfect opportunity, her mother will bring her over in a moment."
"Little sister... is going too?"
"Yes, she has always wanted to go out and see, don't you all like her too? It'll be lively with one more person."
The five of them fell silent at once.
Just then, a crisp voice came from the spaceport entrance.
"Uncle! Brothers!"
The five looked up simultaneously, and a little girl dressed in a neat outfit was running over from the other end of the passage.
Yingxin was wearing a light gray short jacket, dark trousers, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail, her steps light and quick.
Following behind her was Huang Xi, wearing a light blue long dress, her pace composed.
Yingxin ran to Yingzhou and stopped to catch her breath, her ponytail swaying behind her.
"Uncle! I'm here!"
Yingzhou looked down at her and smiled slightly.
"Ready?"
Yingxin nodded vigorously.
"Ready! Mom packed my luggage, change of clothes, and... hee hee hee, Mom said I'm a big kid now and can go out and see the world."
Yingzhou said.
"That's good, let's board."
Yingxin nodded and turned to run toward the five Young Primarchs.
"Brother Fulgrim! Brother Curze! Brother Alpha! Brother Omegon! Brother Leman!"
Her voice echoed through the spaceport.
The five stood where they were, watching the figure running toward them, like five pillars nailed to the ground, unable to move.
Fulgrim squeezed a smile onto his face.
"Xiaoxiner... you're going too?"
Yingxin nodded.
"Yeah! Uncle said he'd take me with him! I can finally go out and see the world openly! It felt so great on the Daikong Star Alliance ship last time!"
Fulgrim maintained his smile and nodded as he spoke.
"... That's good."
Alpharius and Omegon stepped back half a pace at the same time, as if wanting to put some distance between them.
Curze stood where he was, his gaze falling into the distance, as if watching his last shred of hope drift away.
Leman Russ opened his mouth to ask.
"Little sister... did you bring luggage?"
Yingxin patted the backpack behind her.
"I brought a few changes of clothes! And I also brought..."
She lowered her voice mysteriously.
"I brought some seasonings. In case the food on the road isn't to everyone's taste, I can cook for everyone!"
The expressions of the five people fluctuated to varying degrees simultaneously.
It was as if someone had lit a fuse at their feet, and the flame was slowly creeping toward them along the line.
Fulgrim's voice remained steady.
"Xiaoxiner is truly... thoughtful."
Yingxin laughed.
"Of course! I have to take good care of everyone!"
Yingzhou walked over from not far away.
"Since everyone has arrived, let's board the ship."
He walked toward the gangway, with Yingxin following by his side.
The five Young Primarchs stood where they were, watching that familiar figure walking toward the ship; Fulgrim took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Let's go."
Alpharius said.
"Can we... say we're not going at the last minute?"
Omegon continued.
"It's too late, Father has already boarded. Besides, we've all brought our luggage, and the ship is waiting there."
Leman Russ said.
"And little sister brought seasonings."
Curze said.
"I know."
Yingxin had already stepped onto the gangway and turned around in the sunlight.
"Brothers! Hurry up! The ship is about to leave!"
The five of them quickened their pace a little, but their expressions remained complex.
The ship's hatch closed behind them, the engines started, and the hull vibrated slightly.
The Mars-class Battlecruiser detached from the berth and slowly ascended.
The Light Cruiser and Destroyer followed closely behind, forming a small fleet.
Yingxin pressed against the porthole, watching the Xiuluo Holy Star grow smaller, her eyes sparkling.
"So beautiful!"
Yingzhou's voice came from the Bridge.
"Everyone, the voyage will take about eight days. Rest up, or feel free to look around."
His voice paused for a moment.
"The dining hall is ready, and we will notify everyone when it's time for dinner."
