[Ding! Congratulations to the host for binding his ninth partner, Mike. 500 points reward!]

[Ding! Birth system points settled]

[Companion Mike provides the host with 68 points]

[Current points balance: 168 points]

Rosie's eyelids slowly lifted, and consciousness gradually returned. What greeted her was a completely unfamiliar ceiling. She blinked subconsciously, and her previously chaotic mind, as if brushed by a gentle breeze, gradually became clear. Instantly, the scenes of last night surged into her mind like a surging tide.

Rosie was startled and quickly sat up, only then realizing she was lying on a large, soft bed, covered in a light yet warm quilt. She instinctively looked down at herself and saw she was wearing a loose nightgown, which must have been something Mike had put on her after she passed out.

She frowned slightly, feeling a slight swelling and aching in her temples. She reached out and rubbed them gently, trying to recall every detail of what happened last night, but her thoughts were like a tangled mess, difficult to sort out for a while.

Only then did she notice the points on the system panel had changed. She froze for a moment, then mentally called out, "001, what's going on? Why are the points being recalculated?"

"Host, when I returned to report on my duties, the points the Lord God gave me were reset to zero," System 001's voice echoed in her mind. "Also, the system has been upgraded, so the scoring rules have also changed."

Luo Xi frowned. Although she was a little confused, she didn't delve into it. As long as her points were not deducted, nothing else mattered.

She quickly turned her attention away from the system.

She threw back the covers, got out of bed, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains. Outside, a chaotic haze of light and shadow, dotted with flickering, beautiful and mysterious. Rosie quietly gazed at the scenery outside, a surge of inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart.

We are inside a wormhole here, which is amazing to think about.

She returned to the blue planet not long ago, and has not yet left its star system. The farthest place humans have reached is Mars.

And now she is actually traveling through the wormhole.

Destiny is a wonderful thing.

Suddenly, a warm, almost burning body pressed against her from behind, and a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist. Rosie knew who it was without even turning around. She relaxed into the man's embrace, savoring the moment's tranquility.

"Good morning." A deep voice rang in Rosie's ears, carrying the laziness of the early morning. As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against her earlobe, causing a small shiver to form.

Rosie tilted her head slightly, and what came into view was Mike's well-defined jawline and sexy Adam's apple. He exuded the fragrance of shower gel, mixed with a hint of masculinity, which made her heart beat faster.

"Good morning." Luo Xi's voice was soft, with a hint of tenderness as if she had just woken up.

His broad, warm palms covered Rosie's waist, gently holding her in his arms. His chest was firm and warm, and through the thin nightgown, Rosie could even feel his strong heartbeat.

The two of them embraced quietly, neither speaking. Rosie rested her head gently on Mike's shoulder, feeling the warmth from his body. Outside the window, the strange scenery of the wormhole shifted unpredictably, like a flowing scroll.

Time seemed to stand still until Mike broke the silence.

"Last night... were you okay?" His voice was low, with a hint of concern.

Rosie's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Mike's mouth curled up slightly, and his arms tightened, holding her tighter. Rosie could feel the vibration of his chest and the low laugh that reached her ears.

"That's good." There was a hint of relief and satisfaction in his voice.

Rosie's heart beat faster, and she closed her eyes slightly, feeling the tranquility and warmth of the moment.

The two of them cuddled together for a while longer, and then Rosie suddenly remembered something important. "Mike, I want to learn some training and combat techniques."

Mike looked at her in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"I used to be too dependent...on my partner," Rosie paused, her eyes falling on their clasped hands, then raised her eyes to look at Mike with a firm gaze, "Now I want to be stronger. I don't want to be a burden to you."

Mike lowered his eyes and looked at her. Rosie's fingers were slender and were wrapped in his broad palm.

He felt the warmth of her fingertips and the determination in her words.

A warm feeling surged in his heart. He held her hand in return and gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, as if silently comforting her.

"You will never be a burden," Mike's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of comfort, "But if you want to practice, I can teach you."

After breakfast, the two of them arrived at the starship's training room. It was a spacious room, its walls made of a special material that could absorb energy shock. In the center of the room, various training equipment was placed.

Mike walked to the center of the room and said to Rosie, "Let's try your supernatural power first. Try to use your supernatural power to make a flower grow."

He raised a finger and emphasized, "Remember, just one."

Luo Xi nodded, closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and tried to mobilize the supernatural power in her body. She could feel a weak energy flowing through her body, and she could mobilize this power.

But this power seemed to be "stolen".

It’s like a person’s two legs, one is a normal natural leg, and the other is a prosthetic limb. Now these superpowers are like “prosthetic limbs” installed in her body.

She could feel its presence and mobilize it, but it felt a level lower than her mother's legs.

This is probably because these abilities are forcibly infused by the system, and cannot be mobilized at will like those cultivated by oneself.

Rosie took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

She focused all her attention on her palm, mobilizing the weak wood-type ability in her body.

Energy flowed through her meridians like a trickle, eventually converging into her palm.

Rosie could feel the energy fluctuations, but she couldn't fully control its direction and strength.

This feeling is like a child who has just learned to walk, taking every step carefully but wobbly.

She opened her eyes and saw a green sprout breaking through the soil above her palm and growing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the tender sprout grew into a lush green plant covered with flower buds.

Luo Qian was delighted and was about to increase the energy output to make the flower bud bloom.

However, the flower buds seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly exploded together.

In an instant, countless flowers bloomed one after another, densely packed and filling the entire plant.

Rosie was stunned. She just wanted to make a flower bloom, but it ended up like this.

"Try again." Mike's voice sounded in her ears with a hint of encouragement.

Rosie nodded and closed her eyes again, controlling the energy in her body.

This time, she was extra careful and controlled her energy more finely.

The young shoots break through the soil again, grow, and produce flower buds.

Rosie held her breath and carefully controlled the output of energy, fearing that too many flowers would be produced again.

However, this time, the bud was reluctant to bloom.

She increased her energy output, but the bud remained tightly closed, showing no sign of opening.

Rosie opened her eyes somewhat frustratedly, looked at the plant with only a flower bud in her palm, and sighed.

"It's okay, take your time." Mike walked over to her and patted her shoulder gently. "Controlling superpowers takes time and practice, don't rush."

His voice was low and gentle, like a warm current, flowing into Rosie's heart.

Rosie raised her head and met Mike's deep blue eyes, feeling an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

"Yeah." She nodded, her eyes becoming firm again, "I will keep working hard."

Sweat soaked her clothes, clinging to her body and outlining her graceful figure. Mike looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that he had fallen deeply in love with this girl.

After the training, Rosie was exhausted and out of breath, but her eyes were unusually bright. She looked at Mike with a bright smile on her face. "Thank you, Mike."

Mike looked at her, a gentle smile on his lips. "This is what I should do." He walked forward and gently pushed the loose hair on her forehead behind her ear. "From now on, I will always be with you and protect you."

Rosie nodded gently and rested her head on Mike's broad chest, feeling the warmth coming from him. An indescribable sense of security surrounded her, making her feel extremely relieved.

Three days later, Luo Xi stared intently at the flower in her hand. Petals slowly unfolded, eventually blossoming into a full-blown flower. Under the soft light of the practice room, it looked exceptionally beautiful.

A trace of joy spread from the bottom of her heart, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of Rosie's mouth. She succeeded!

"Great!" Mike's voice was full of praise, and his eyes looked at Rosie gently with undisguised pride in his eyes.

Rosie looked up at Mike, and they smiled at each other. This wasn't just the blossoming of a flower; it was the fruit of Rosie's hard work, and the unspoken understanding between them.

At this moment, the starship suddenly shook violently.

"What's going on?" Rosie exclaimed, her body stumbling back involuntarily.

Mike quickly supported Rosie, his brow furrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes. "I'll go check it out," he said in a deep voice, his tone a bit serious.

Before he even walked out of the training room, the cold voice of the intelligent system suddenly sounded, causing him to stop.

"Alert, the starship is about to exit the wormhole space."

"A large-scale starship group has been detected outside. Please be careful, Master."

Mike and Rosie looked at each other, their eyes filled with solemnity.

They knew that these were pursuers sent by Sea King Orlando, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

A sudden burst of urgent prompt sounds came from the starship's communication system, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the cabin.

Rosie's heart skipped a beat and she glanced at the screen.

On the screen, Fan Xiao's handsome and familiar face appeared, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"Xixi, don't be afraid, we have brought people to rescue you!" Fan Xiao's voice came through the communicator. Every word struck Luo Xi's heart, making her originally panicked heart strangely calm down.

Then, the scene on the screen switched to Ling Yuan, and his beautiful red eyes were now full of concern.

"We have locked onto your location and will be there soon. Just hold on!" Ling Yuan's voice was as steady as ever, yet with a hint of imperceptible urgency.

Luo Xi's eyes were a little moist. She hadn't seen Fan Xiao and the children for a long time. This was the closest she had ever been to them.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." She responded softly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement, but with an unprecedented firmness.

Rosie clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

In her heart, Rosie silently said to herself: This time, she didn't want to be the princess who could only wait for others to save her. She wanted to protect herself and the people she cared about.

Rosie walked towards the hatch of the starship, her resolute back looking particularly firm under the flickering lights.

"Sissi!" Admiral Mike's voice sounded behind her, with a hint of worry.

Rosie stopped but didn't look back. She knew Mike wanted to stop her, but she couldn't always hide behind others.

"Sissi, you can't go out." Mike walked up to her, his tone calm and firm. "Just let me go."

Rosie turned and looked directly into Mike's deep blue eyes. She saw concern, caught a flash of affection. A warm feeling welled up inside her, but now she had to stand her ground.

"I can't always hide behind someone else and wait for them to rescue me." Rosie's voice was calm, yet filled with undeniable determination. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, bringing a touch of real pain and making her more sober. She was no longer the fragile princess. She had to protect herself and the people she cared about.

Mike looked into her determined eyes, knowing he couldn't change her decision. He took a deep breath, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him. Worry for her safety, yet admiration for her courage.

"Okay, then let me accompany you." Mike reached out and held Rosie's hand tightly.

Rosie didn't refuse. Instead, she held Mike's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm. A sense of strength came from his hand, making her feel at ease.

The two exchanged glances without further ado. Together, they flew out of the starship, facing the unknown challenge.

Outside the starship, there was a vast expanse of starry sky. In the distance, a massive fleet of starships was slowly approaching, like a herd of ferocious beasts waiting for their chance to strike.

Rosie took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart. She knew that this was an unavoidable battle.

Mike held Rosie's hand tightly, shielding her behind him. His blond hair shone in the starlight, and his blue eyes were filled with determination.

"Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." His voice was low and powerful, like a reassurance, which gradually calmed Rosie's originally panicked heart.

She turned her head and looked at the fleet of starships in front of her, and the green energy in her hand slowly gathered...
