To allow people in the interstellar age to have close contact with natural exotic plants, staff from the Federal Urban Planning Department planted many non-invasive natural exotic plants on both sides of the river.

This season happens to be the perfect time for the natural plants to grow comfortably, with swathes of green leaves cutting through the sunlight and casting warm fragments.

Flowers were in full bloom, their fragrance filling the air; it should have been a perfect place for families to gather and enjoy themselves, but the emergency evacuation turned it into a desolate and deserted place.

A path paved with pebbles runs through the woods, with a few withered leaves scattered along it. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows, carrying the fragrance of the fallen leaves.

Black military boots crunched crisply on the fallen leaves.

Beside the military boots, a pair of white shoes walked quietly.

The owner of the white sneakers seemed quite relaxed, as if she was admiring the scenery along the way, and she would always slow down without realizing it.

At such times, the owner of the black military boots would slow down and wait patiently.

The military boots only resumed their original speed once the white sneakers were in the same position as the military boots again.

Black and white, fast and slow, surprisingly harmonious and warm against the backdrop of sunlight, green leaves and a gentle breeze.

On the quiet path, two figures walked side by side. The dappled light and shadows cast upon them, giving them a mysterious aura as if they had been torn apart by space.

The man was tall and upright, wearing a well-fitting black military uniform. His two muscular long legs were encased in military trousers, and one could vaguely imagine the extreme sense of power he possessed.

He would occasionally tilt his head slightly, his black bangs sweeping across his forehead, obscuring the gentle and restrained emotions in his eyes.

Despite wearing a military uniform that exudes a strong sense of oppression, the man's aura is not at all imposing.

Beside him was a young girl.

The girl's long, golden hair hung down naturally, with the ends curling up playfully. Under the sunlight, her hair was as smooth as silk.

When she tilted her head slightly, you could see her delicate, porcelain-white skin and long eyelashes; even just her back view was breathtakingly beautiful.

If you ignore the distance between them, their backs look just like a good-looking couple.

Feng Qingyue and Jiyuan walked along the path. Since they couldn't find anything to talk about, the atmosphere became a little awkward. So they simply walked quietly side by side, enjoying their relaxing time.

While things are peaceful and serene here, the StarNet is buzzing with heated discussions.

Watching the drama unfold is a memory ingrained in people's genes. Even in such a dangerous situation, someone still managed to record the entire incident from a distance using a personal computer.

The technology of the interstellar era is indeed advanced; even from such a distance, the video recordings are still so clear.

After that person uploaded the video to the public network, netizens on the StarNet were captivated by Feng Qingyue's every move.

"My God, what a beautiful woman!"

"I'm going straight for my wife!"

"My goodness, thank you so much for saving a child!"

"My family members don't understand, the scene where she walked out of the fire was absolutely breathtaking!"

"I totally agree with the comment above!! So cool! A real woman never looks back at an explosion!!"

"Yes, I saw the soldiers cry when the rescue failed."

"Mom, I'm in love!"

"..."

This video has become incredibly popular; after all, who wouldn't like someone who is both beautiful and talented?

Ji Yuan was enjoying his time alone with the little girl when his personal terminal rang at an inopportune moment.

After apologizing to Feng Qingyue, he walked aside to answer the call, his impatience overflowing from the screen as he spoke: "What is it?"

Ji Xuan's tone was flustered and somewhat anxious: "Brother, someone filmed a video of my sister-in-law, and it's going very well online now."

Ji Yuan's eyes turned cold instantly, and his tone became icy: "Contact the Federal Communications Department to handle this matter and find the person who made the video."

Federal law explicitly prohibits soldiers from using personal devices to record videos during combat; this is a violation of the law and a crime.

Once found, they will be punished according to the law, and the results will be announced on the official account.

Ji Xuan indicated that he understood, but then he remembered what his aunt had said after seeing the video, and he felt utterly overwhelmed.

"Brother, our aunt said that to thank sister-in-law for saving people, she invited her to the palace. Our Emperor will personally present her with an award."

He paused, then added, "His Majesty said this kind of thing is commendable, and the invitation from the palace will be delivered to my sister-in-law shortly."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose: "You will personally oversee the handling of this matter."

Ji Xuan nodded in agreement, but then, realizing he had forgotten to turn on the video and his brother wouldn't see his nod, he quickly added, "Okay, I'll go check now."

After hanging up the call, Ji Yuan rubbed his temples in frustration.

Those netizens on the StarNet are really quite capable. If they manage to dig up a blank slate about the girl's past, who knows what kind of rumors they'll spread.

Feng Qingyue is a very sensible beast. She won't eavesdrop on other people's communications. In such situations, she will usually shut down her hearing, prioritizing self-awareness.

Seeing that Ji Yuan's expression was somewhat serious and he seemed hesitant to speak several times in front of her, Feng Qingyue tilted her head and looked at him questioningly.

Looking into those clear, gentle light blue eyes, Ji Yuan unconsciously smiled: "The whole process of you saving that child was recorded and posted online. This kind of thing deserves praise. His Majesty of the Federation wants to invite you to the palace, and he will personally present you with an award."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyue subtly twitched the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her silence, Ji Yuan spoke gently, "Don't worry, the video is being processed. How about we go out for dinner together?"

Just as Feng Qingyue was about to speak, a person suddenly walked towards them.

The newcomer was dressed in a uniform symbolizing that he was directly under the command of His Majesty the Federation, and was holding a round plate in both hands.

In the very center of the plate was a paper letter.

The man stopped in front of Feng Qingyue, gave an elegant bow, and said calmly, "Miss Qingyue, I am His Majesty the Federation's messenger. His Majesty Joyce cordially invites you to a banquet at the palace tomorrow evening. This is the invitation."

After saying that, the man bowed deeply and raised the disc high in the air.

Feng Qingyue looked at the exquisite letter, pondered for a while, and then picked it up: "Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty. I will attend on time."

Seeing that the mission was accomplished, the messenger did not linger. He bowed to Feng Qingyue, then respectfully bowed to Jiyuan, before turning and leaving.

Feng Qingyue held the letter between her fingers, looked at it from both sides, opened the letter, and took out the invitation inside.

While she was reading the invitation, Jiyuan stood silently by her side, offering his companionship.

Feng Qingyue carefully put the letter into her mental space. She glanced at Ji Yuan and said in a light tone, "Let's go eat?"

Ji Yuan heard the little girl's words and smiled, "Okay."
