Chapter 496: Strange Dream

Qin Ge never expected that the first person to ask to sleep together would not be the few Royal members he was closest to, but the usually clueless Xinong.

Faced with this request, Qin Ge truly didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

As previously said, men and women should not be intimate, but obviously Xinong didn't take it to heart.

So, facing that gaze that revealed anticipation and hope in his heart, he still couldn't resist the temptation and thus agreed.

But sleeping was just sleeping, with no other actions. Even so, Qin Ge couldn't sleep for a long time, after all, a girl was sleeping beside him, and a very beautiful girl at that.

But when Qin Ge turned his head to secretly glance at Xinong beside him, he saw she was sleeping especially sweetly.

This made Qin Ge involuntarily smile embarrassedly; Xinong was sleeping with him because she trusted him—what on earth was he thinking all day?

He then calmed himself, and with the sound of the heavy rain still pouring outside, Qin Ge gradually drifted into sleep.

He didn't know how long had passed; when Qin Ge opened his eyes again, he found he was no longer in the room.

Before him stretched an endless starry sky, and he stood upon that void. Looking around, all he saw were brilliant stars.

"Where is this? Could I be dreaming?" Qin Ge said doubtfully in a low voice, after all such a scene could never appear in reality, so his first reaction was that he was dreaming.

But Qin Ge quickly reacted, yet why was his consciousness so clear, with no sign of dreaming at all?

Just as Qin Ge was puzzling over this, a blue butterfly suddenly appeared not far ahead. The butterfly flapped its wings a few times, and with a flash of blue light, a figure appeared before him.

Seeing the familiar white fox ears and several large tails trailing behind, Qin Ge exclaimed in surprise toward the person not far away, "Xinong?"

But he immediately shook his head, "No, you are Xinong, but you are not my Xinong!"

The bond between a commander and a fleet girl is determined by a feeling in the heart. This feeling is profound and profound, hard to explain, but it does exist.

Although this Xinong before him looked somewhat similar to his own Xinong, Qin Ge could be certain she was not his Xinong.

Obviously Qin Ge's voice also caught the attention of the Xinong opposite; she looked at Qin Ge in his commander's uniform and suddenly seemed to understand something.

"I never expected we would meet in this way, Commander Qin Ge. The aura on you and his true likeness suggest you are also a Heaven's Mandate Person." Xinong said with a smile.

"He? A Heaven's Mandate Person?" Qin Ge was stunned for a moment—what are all these?

"It seems you don't know anything at all," Xinong smiled. "But among these countless worlds, we can meet in dreams—indeed, it seems to be the power of fate."

"Wait, who exactly are you, and what does 'among countless worlds' mean? Why do you say I am a Heaven's Mandate Person?" Qin Ge hurriedly asked.

"These answers are not suitable to tell you now, for the more you know, the more distracted you will become." Xinong shook her head and said.

"Hah..." Qin Ge sighed helplessly, "So you mean my strength isn't enough?"

"No, it's just that the timing hasn't come yet." Xinong shook her head; just as she was about to speak to Qin Ge, she saw his figure gradually begin to blur.

"Has the time come? Indeed, the connection of fate is unfathomable; even though one resides above dimensions, one still cannot control it."

Xinong looked at Qin Ge and said, "One day we will meet in the real world, and at that time, my commander will tell you everything."

"Therefore, you must firmly hold to your convictions; that day will come soon."

After Xinong finished speaking, Qin Ge's figure instantly vanished among the stars.

Around her, besides the brilliant stars, only Xinong remained. As she sighed at the spot where Qin Ge had disappeared, the space beside her suddenly twisted, and a figure wearing a white commander's uniform abruptly appeared.

"Xinong? How did you come to the dream world?" that figure said to Xinong.

"Hmm, I suddenly sensed traces of fate in the dream world, so I came to have a look. Commander, guess what I just saw?" Xinong said with a smile.

That person looked at Xinong like that, involuntarily hugging her and kneading her ears, saying, "I've said before, don't give me these riddles to guess again—you're not a riddle person like the Observers!"

"Commander... ears... gently." Xinong whispered, her tone tinged with a hint of allure.

Seeing Xinong's cheeks grow redder under his ear kneading, the figure laughed and said, "Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have made you speak in riddles—quickly tell me what you just saw."

Having his hand release her ears, Xinong finally caught her breath and then said to the man, "I just saw a Heaven's Mandate Person with the same aura as the commander."

"A Heaven's Mandate Person with the same aura as me?" The figure startled, then excitedly said, "Qin Ge?"

"Mm." Xinong nodded.

The figure excitedly asked, "Then how is he doing now? How many fleets does he have? How many worlds has he crossed, and has he mastered a power equal to mine?"

Xinong shook her head, "No, I sense no otherworldly aura on him. Therefore, it can be judged that he has not grown by crossing worlds as we have."

Moreover, his power is not strong; indeed, he is merely an ordinary person.

"Ah? No way? I thought he'd be stronger, like a Super Saiyan, punching experimental agencies and kicking arbitration agencies..." the figure exclaimed in surprise.

"Perhaps his path differs from the commander's." Xinong said with a smile.

"Alright, then can you, according to the traces of fate, search for the world where he exists?" the figure said.

"It will take some time, for this Heaven's Mandate aura is not so easy to detect." Xinong said, "However, you may go ask the Observers, for since he can contact me through the dream world, he must certainly be within this origin."

"So let the Observers search the other Numbered Worlds; perhaps there will be some astonishing discovery."

"I understand, but this matter needs to be entrusted to you. I've been searching for a planet to transfer all the fleet girls to; I previously promised them that, so I must begin to fulfill it." the figure said.

"I understand." Xinong said, and with a smile vanished into the dream world.

And that figure glanced at the starry sky brimming with stars, involuntarily gave a small smile, "Perhaps letting him serve as this commander wouldn't be bad either..."
