Nightingale stared blankly at the person before her. That face was both familiar and unfamiliar. Familiar were those amber eyes and that signature white hair; unfamiliar was the indescribable sense of oppression that emanated from him.

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

"You...how come you are here?" Nightingale's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief, as if squeezed out from the depths of her throat. Every word was trembling, and every syllable was filled with doubt.

She remembered clearly that after Xuanqi and the others escaped, the people in the laboratory announced publicly that all the escaped people had been caught and "dealt with" in order to stabilize people's morale and to intimidate others.

The so-called "dealing" in that dark place is equivalent to death, and is even more terrifying than death.

That's a laboratory, a place more terrifying than hell, a devil's den built with human lives. No one can come out of there alive, let alone those who have been "dealt with".

Nightingale had prayed countless times in her dreams, hoping that her companions who had suffered with her could escape, that they could be free, and that they could live like normal people. But she knew in her heart that it was nothing more than an extravagant hope, a trace of self-consolation in a desperate situation.

But now, Xuanqi stood before her alive, unharmed, even more powerful than before. This was more shocking than a miracle, more incredible than a fairy tale!

Xuanqi has never been a passionate person, of course, towards people other than Luo Xi.

He didn't have any fond memories of the lab, so naturally he wasn't very interested in the people who came out of there. Moreover, his mind was now completely focused on Rosie, so how could he care about anyone else?

"Are you sure you want to reminisce here?" Xuan Qi asked coldly, his voice as cold as ice, devoid of emotion and warmth. He frowned slightly, seeming to be slightly annoyed by Nightingale's reaction.

Now he just wanted to take Rosie away from this damn place. As for Nightingale, he had no interest in meddling in her affairs.

Nightingale was choked by Xuanqi's words and realized that she had lost her composure.

She looked around and found that everyone's eyes were focused on her. There was curiosity, inquiry, and a hint of... sympathy?

Nightingale suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, not knowing what to say.

Luo Xi looked at Nightingale and felt a little sorry for her.

She could understand Nightingale's feelings. After all, in such a dark place, meeting an acquaintance was like grabbing a life-saving straw.

But she will not blame her partner because of an outsider.

"Xuanqi is right, this is not the place to talk, let's leave here first." Luo Xi looked around. The instruments and equipment flashing with cold light made her feel uneasy, like a thorn in her back. She didn't want to stay any longer.

She looked at Yeying and Yueling and asked, "What are your plans? Are you going to leave with us?"

Although she asked this question, Rosie had other plans in mind. If Nightingale chose to leave on her own, she would sooner or later fall into the hands of the forces behind the black-robed man. Rather than that, it would be better to leave now...

Yue Ling was very smart and naturally saw what Luo Xi and the others were thinking. He quickly took the initiative to express his desire to join them.

Only then did Nightingale notice Yue Ling was there too. They had known each other longer and were more familiar with each other. She had been raised in a laboratory since birth, never having come into contact with people, and instinctively followed Yue Ling's choices.

"I... I'm with you." Nightingale whispered, her voice a little hoarse, as timid as a frightened deer.

Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Nightingale would be stubborn and insist on leaving. A Nine-Series Psychic, if this person fell into the hands of the enemy, would be a real disaster.

"Then let's leave here first." Luo Xi said, and walked out first.

"We need to get out of here first," Rosie said, heading out first. Several others followed closely behind her, and they made their way through a maze of passages. The metal walls reflected a cold, chilling light in the dim light, a chilling feeling. Finally, they reached the exit. The glaring sunlight made everyone a little uncomfortable. Rosie narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath. Although the air outside had a hint of gunpowder smoke, it was much fresher than the dark underground space.

After boarding the starship, Rosie finally had time to carefully examine Nightingale. She discovered that despite all the hardships this female had endured, her eyes remained clear, like a spring, without a trace of impurities.

"Go take a shower and change your clothes first," Luo Xi said, taking Nightingale to the bathroom. She took out a light yellow dress from her space button. It was one of her many clothes, brand new. "This dress should look great on you."

Nightingale looked at the pale yellow dress, a flicker of longing in her eyes, but it quickly faded. She lowered her head, clasping her hands together, her knuckles turning slightly white from the effort. She was timid, like a frightened deer. "I... I'm dirty. I'll get dirty..." Her voice was soft, like a mosquito's hum, with a barely perceptible tremor.

In the lab, her clothes were never in good condition. Often forced to fight other test subjects, clothes that could cover her body were a luxury. Beneath her tattered clothes lay countless scars, new wounds overlapping old ones, crisscrossing like ugly mouths, mocking her misfortune.

Because of this, Nightingale had a vague understanding of the relationship between men and women. She had never considered herself a female. In her eyes, she was just an unnumbered experimental subject, a defective product that could be destroyed at any time.

She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Rosie standing in front of her. This beautiful female was wearing a clean and tidy dress, with black hair cascading behind her like a waterfall. She also exuded a faint fragrance, like a flower blooming in spring, so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her.

Nightingale couldn't help but envy her, but was afraid that if she got too close, she would dirty her. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Luo Xi again, for fear that the desire in her eyes would taint this beauty.

"Silly girl, dirty clothes can be washed, but dirty people are scary." Luo Xi didn't care about that at all. She pushed Nightingale, who wanted to lie down, into the bathroom, saying with a hint of rebuke, "Go take a shower. I'll help you blow dry your hair after you come out."

"But... I... I can't afford it..." The nightingale's voice became even smaller, as pitiful as a frightened kitten.

"It's okay," Luo Xi smiled and stuffed the dress into Nightingale's arms. "I'll give this dress to you. Just consider it... a meeting gift."

Nightingale looked up at Rosie in disbelief. It was the first time she had received a gift from someone, and it was such a beautiful dress. She carefully took the dress, as if holding a rare treasure, afraid that she would accidentally damage it.

"Thank you..." Nightingale's voice was choked, and her eyes were slightly red.

"What are you thanking me for? Go take a shower! The water is getting cold." Rosie urged. She could feel that Nightingale's heart was opening up little by little, like a flower in bud, slowly blooming with its own beauty.

"Yeah!" Nightingale nodded vigorously, turned and walked into the bathroom.

Nightingale quickly finished her bath, her body still steaming, her head lowered, her hands tangled together nervously, like a frightened deer, timid.

Luo Xi looked at her delicate little face, and an inexplicable fondness welled up in her heart. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant with the cub, but now she found everyone cute.

The housekeeping robot appeared at the right moment and walked gracefully to Nightingale's side. Its mechanical arms danced flexibly, like a skilled barber, and quickly dried Nightingale's hair and combed it into a playful bun.

"Okay, see if you like it?" Rosie handed a mirror to Nightingale. The mirror was as bright and clean as new, reflecting Nightingale's figure clearly.

Nightingale looked at herself in the mirror, a little unable to believe her eyes. The girl in the mirror was wearing a light yellow dress, her hair styled into a cute bun, revealing a smooth forehead and delicate features. Her originally pale face was now lightly flushed by the warm water, like a ripe peach, making you want to take a bite.

"It's really beautiful." Luo Xi praised sincerely, "You are so beautiful."

A blush appeared on Nightingale's cheeks. She lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you." Her voice was as light as a mosquito's hum, with an imperceptible tremor.

"You're welcome. You're already very beautiful." Luo Xi said, taking Nightingale's hand and walking to the restaurant. "Let's eat first. After dinner, I'll take you to visit the starship."

On the table, a dazzling array of exquisite dishes exudes an alluring aroma, whetting everyone's appetite. These are all carefully prepared by the cooking robot according to Luo Xi's recipes. Each dish is beautiful, fragrant and delicious, and can be called a work of art.

Mike, Xingyu, Xuanqi, Damon, Ivan, and Yueling, the six of them had already taken their seats, but they all tacitly did not move their chopsticks, but quietly waited for Luo Xi. They knew that Luo Xi was the most distinguished person on this starship, and the most important person in their hearts.

Rosie brought Nightingale into the restaurant. Seeing that everyone had been waiting for a long time, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She gently took Nightingale's hand, led her to the table, and asked her to sit next to her.

Nightingale stared at the table overflowing with delicious food, her eyes widening and her saliva watering uncontrollably. She had never seen such a sumptuous meal in her entire life, let alone tasted it. In the lab, she'd been fed a daily diet of inedible nutrient solution, and being able to fill her stomach was a blessing. How could she ever expect anything delicious?

Luo Xi couldn't help laughing at Nightingale's greedy look. She picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden roasted meat and put it in Nightingale's bowl. "Try it! This is a specialty of our hometown. It tastes very good."

Nightingale looked at the tempting piece of barbecue in the bowl, carefully picked up her chopsticks, picked up a small piece and put it into her mouth. In an instant, the rich aroma of meat exploded in her mouth, and the tender and juicy taste made her squint her eyes, and a happy expression appeared on her face.

"Is it delicious?" Luo Xi asked with a smile.

"Hmm!" Nightingale nodded vigorously, her mouth full of food, and said incoherently, "It's delicious!"

Seeing Nightingale wolfing down her food, Rosie felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. She then gave Nightingale some other dishes and asked her to enjoy them to her heart's content.

Nightingale was a little reserved at first, but seeing Yue Ling devouring the food without any hesitation, she began to relax more and more. She let go of all her reservations and concerns and fully enjoyed the joy brought by the food.

By the end, Yue Ling was full and leaned back in her chair, patting her round belly with a look of satisfaction. But Nightingale kept eating, like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

Luo Qian subconsciously glanced at Xuan Qi, who hadn't stopped eating either, and muttered to herself: "Maybe it's because he has so many superpowers that he eats so much?" She remembered that Xuan Qi also had a big appetite.

Fortunately, the cooking robot prepared a lot. After the finished plates were cleared away, there was still a steady stream of food on the table, like magic, dazzling the eyes.

At this moment, the starship suddenly jolted, and the intelligent system sounded an alarm: "Warning! Warning! Pirate interception detected!"

The Chaos Star Domain is now in complete chaos, with small groups of space pirates everywhere. Like sharks smelling blood, they are frantically plundering all the resources they can.

Damon was the first to jump out, like a wolf cub guarding its food, baring its teeth and ready to rush out: "I'll take care of them!"

He was obviously from the gentle Nine-Colored Deer clan, but he had a very hot temper. If Rosie hadn't seen his true form, she would have doubted his true race.

Admiral Mike said calmly, "This starship is equipped with the latest gamma particle beam cannon..."

He paused, glancing at Damon, who was rubbing his hands in anticipation, "Are you sure you want to go out and fight them in hand-to-hand combat?"

Damon: "..." His ears were red, and he didn't know if it was because he was angry or for some other reason.

Luo Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lulu is so cute, who can not love it? !

Ivan shook his head helplessly and patted Damon's shoulder gently, signaling him to calm down.

However, just as they were about to activate the gamma particle beam cannon, the starship's intelligent system suddenly sounded an alarm: "Warning! Warning! Civilian hostages detected on the enemy starship!"

The holographic projection clearly displayed the image of the enemy starship. The pirates had tied a group of unarmed civilians to the starship's hull, using them as human shields. Fear and despair were written across their faces, like lambs to the slaughter, ready to be torn apart by the pirates at any moment.

Admiral Mike's face darkened instantly, and a cold glint flashed in his sharp blue eyes. He glanced across at Damon and said, "You can go now."

Damon: “…”
