Chapter 119: Probing

Er Miao replied: "He is currently just an ordinary psychic; according to psychic level classifications, he is between B-Grade and A-Grade."

"How did you do it?" Su Xi was curious and asked directly, "How did you go from being a corpse ghost to a psychic?"

Ye Chenyu flipped the vegetable skewers in his hand, "What if I cannot say?"

"Of course, that is your freedom," Su Xi replied.

Ye Chenyu handed two skewers of roasted potato chips to Su Xi, "They should be done."

Su Xi took them and took a bite; they were crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, quite delicious, so she gave one skewer to Xiao Mi, "Here, eat something. I'll grill the rest."

"Mm!" Xiao Mi took the skewer and headed toward the dining table.

Ye Chenyu looked at Xiao Mi, "You sisters have a very good relationship."

Su Xi nodded, "Yes, we get along quite well."

Xiao Yan had told her that Xiao Mi did not rely on her biological siblings. It wasn't that their relationship was bad, just that it lacked the intimacy she had with her.

Perhaps the fact that she could gain his family's approval without any trials had a lot to do with Xiao Mi as well.

An elegant woman who looked as if she had just come from a banquet went up to the Rooftop Garden.

Su Xi saw her first and immediately said to Ye Chenyu, "You have a guest."

Ye Chenyu glanced over and put down the seasoning bottle in his hand, "Then I shall head over first. Thank you and Xiao Mi for the delicacies and wine. When there is an opportunity in the future, I must play host and treat you both in return."

"Don't mention it," Su Xi replied with a polite pleasantry.

Ye Chenyu spoke with the woman and left the Rooftop Garden.

Er Miao said to Su Xi: "That woman is Zhong Weilan. She came to find Ye Chenyu to go to the conference room downstairs for a meeting. That conference room has special energy defenses."

"Where exactly does this special energy come from?" Su Xi said to Er Miao, "You should investigate this first; you can spend points."

"Understood, Host," Er Miao responded.

After Xiao Mi was full, she fell asleep in Su Xi's arms. Looking at her sleeping face, it was as if the whole world were peaceful, and her heart felt calm and tranquil.

After putting Xiao Mi on the bed, Su Xi couldn't help but feel sleepy, so she simply lay down to sleep with her.

In the distant cosmic void, a Universal Mother Ship entered a vortex black hole.

Inside the main command cabin, Fei Er Si Te rested his chin on one hand, watching the image projected by the Crystal Ball onto the light screen; it was exactly Su Xi holding Xiao Mi as she slept.

A stunningly beautiful goddess with black hair and black eyes and an exquisitely graceful figure walked in, chewing on a piece of dried meat. Seeing the image on the screen, she teased with a smile, "Missing your wife already?"

"I am," Fei Er Si Te replied earnestly, "So, my dear sister, can you let me go keep my wife company?"

"Finish the work first," Qin Si Si picked up a velvet cloth and covered the Crystal Ball.

"Oh." Fei Er Si Te obediently opened the system, zoomed in on a star map, and pointed to a star field that looked like burning clouds, "The Ikarante Universe is currently in a full-scale war."

"It seems some deity has obtained a Universe Card that can change the Invasion Sequence. Investigate it," Qin Si Si tapped the tabletop with her fingertips, her expression exceptionally serious.

Fei Er Si Te opened the Wanzhou System; it was densely packed with cosmic codes, each one equivalent to the existence of the Abel Universe.

……

Su Xi looked at Xiao Mi, who was still sleeping in her arms, with sleepy eyes and tapped her delicate, high-bridged little nose, "A charming baby who lives up to her name."

However, none of Xiao Yan's siblings were ugly; every one of them was handsome and beautiful.

*Knock knock~* There was a sound of knocking on the door.

Then, a waiter's voice came from outside, "Distinguished guest, do you require room service?"

Su Xi got out of bed, opened the door, and said to the waiter, "Not in the room for now, but the Rooftop Garden needs it."

"Very well, I will go clean the Rooftop Garden first." The waiter pushed the cleaning cart toward the Rooftop Garden.

Su Xi turned on the television in the living room, turned the volume to the lowest setting, and watched the morning news.

The news of the corpse ghosts appearing at the base yesterday had been suppressed by the administration, and they only broadcasted information regarding the briefly appearing 'Sun'.

"Er Miao, how many points did that single moment of Red Sun light cost?"

"5 system points."

A familiar figure appeared on the screen.

Su Xi was about to look closely when she heard Er Miao's voice, "Host, Ye Chenyu is here, right outside the door."

Soon, the knocking on the door sounded again.

Su Xi went to open the door and looked at him with feigned surprise, "Mr. Ye, or Mr. Yu?"

The person on the television screen just now was him, and the synchronized announcer had stated his name—Yu Cheng, with the status of Alliance Councilor.

"Yu Cheng, my real name," he leaned over and offered an apologetic bow.

Su Xi stepped aside and invited him into the room, "If it's your real name, that means this identity here is the real one."

"Yes," Yu Cheng replied.

Su Xi invited him to sit on the sofa. The television had already started playing other news about the Twenty-Four Base being invaded by the Heiyuan City corpse ghosts, many base personnel being infected by the corpse ghosts, and the entire base currently being under quarantine...

"Are you never going back to Heiyuan City?" Su Xi blurted out.

Yu Cheng looked at her in surprise, "How did you know?"

Su Xi blinked and pointed at the television, "Weren't you the one leading the invasion, the Heiyuan City corpse ghosts?"

Yu Cheng realized, and replied, "If it hadn't been for me at the time, the Twenty-Four Base would no longer exist."

"Then..." Su Xi held back the name 'Gu Zhi' that was on the tip of her tongue, "Is there something Mr. Yu came to find me for?"

Yu Cheng replied, "It is about the sun that appeared yesterday. Xiao Mi said that was not a sun, and I thought about it later; it indeed did not look like one. Moreover, before the sun appeared, there was rolling thunder. Miss Su, your psychic power is of the Thunder System, right?"

"What if I have no comment?" Su Xi looked at him with a smile.

Yu Cheng: "... Haha, Miss Su is using my own words against me."

Su Xi shrugged, "It is indeed no comment."

"So, Miss Su does indeed know what is going on with the 'Sun'!" Yu Cheng's eyes became profound.

Su Xi looked at him in silence.

And her silence was the answer.

Yu Cheng clasped his slender fingers together, "I can make a deal with Miss Su."

"Sorry, I don't want to trade with Mr. Yu." Su Xi stood up from the sofa.

Yu Cheng knew he should leave.

He raised his hand and took an invitation out of his jacket pocket, "A base anniversary celebration will be held in the hotel today. Many celebrities from various bases have been invited, and there will be live performances. If you and Xiao Mi are interested, you can go and have some fun."

"Thank you. Once Xiao Mi wakes up, I will ask her if she wants to go." Su Xi took the invitation.

Yu Cheng glanced at her face again, "Miss Su, have we met before?"

"The 'before' you speak of, when was it?" Su Xi asked.

"... In a dream?" Yu Cheng laughed at himself after saying it, "What a lousy excuse. I'll be going now."
