After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

【A Sky Full of Stars】In the deepest, coldest night, I opened my eyes and saw a sky full of stars.

In that dark period when monsters roamed freely, they burned their lives, transforming into stars, bringing a glimmer of light to human civilization.

------------

Three days later, the Thorn.

Yangon lay on the headboard, his rabbit ears drooping, looking at Leng Ran, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, and fell into deep thought.

According to the information stored in his chip, Her Highness has always been physically strong and has never suffered from any illness or pain in the past years, nor has she fainted for no reason like she has now.

But is that really the case?

Before returning his chip to the princess, Zhao Lesong erased some of the data. Initially, he thought only the data related to the Zhao family had been erased, but now it seems that the actual amount of information erased was probably far more than he imagined.

At least, the princess's medical records, or other unusual events, have been completely erased.

What exactly is Zhao Lesong, this person who suddenly appeared in the princess's life, hiding?

Suddenly, the projection equipment installed on the ceiling began to emit light, with specks of blue light swirling and dancing, eventually converging into a woman wearing a floral dress.

"Ah, I still prefer communicating with you this way." She walked briskly to the cold bedside, her skirt swaying gently with her movements. "Yangon, how have you been lately?"

"Rose." Yangon was still lost in thought. "I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now."

“But I’m in the mood.” Rose wasn’t angry. She sat gracefully on a chair to the side. “Yangon, I’ll be frank. I’m here today to invite you to join our pro-amity faction.”

"The leader of the Destruction Faction—The Shining Morning Star—his power is expanding too fast. Rather than waiting for him to strike first, let's destroy him first." Rose looked intently at Yangon. "We need manpower, the more the better."

“I don’t want to get involved in your struggle, and I don’t have that many reasons to fight.” Yangon looked at the sleeping Leng Ran. “I have nothing, except him.”

"Don't rush to refuse. Yangon, you must understand. If 'Shining' really begins its destructive campaign against humanity..." Rose's projection brushed against Leng Ran's head, "No human can remain unscathed, and Mo Li is no exception."

Yangon fell silent, not immediately offering a refusal.

He doesn't hate other humans, but he doesn't particularly like them either, so he doesn't care about their lives or deaths. However, if Shining's actions involve Her Highness the Princess, then the nature of this matter will be different.

Princess has already carried too much on her shoulders, and he wants to share that burden with her.

Yangon said seriously, "Let me think about it, Rose."

Rose nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm. As a 'potential future companion,' here's a suggestion. If you encounter any troubles, you can talk to Storm; he'll be happy to help you."

Storm? If he wants to retrieve his erased memories, can Storm, with its level eight intelligence, do that?

Seeing Leng Ran's eyelashes tremble slightly on the hospital bed, Qiangwei stood up: "The little one is about to wake up, so I should say goodbye."

"Yangon, I hope that when we meet again, you will have made the right choice."

The projector on the ceiling turned off, and Rose's figure disappeared as well. The next second, Leng Ran slowly opened her eyes.

“Your Highness,” Yangon’s rabbit ears immediately perked up, “you have been unconscious for nearly three days. This is the Thorn, and we are about to arrive in the territory of Storm Star.”

"Unconscious?" Leng Ran frowned, trying to recall what happened before he lost consciousness, but all his memories seemed to have been erased, leaving only a blank space. Only the clear sound of the bell was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Upon detecting Leng Ran's awakening, a nurse robot rushed to the ward. The moment the door opened, several small heads peeked out from behind it.

"Ah Li!" Seeing Leng Ran wake up, He Xiting, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, visibly lit up and immediately prepared to rush in to give Leng Ran a hug.

Unfortunately, he was a step too slow. After the nurse entered, the ward door slammed shut in front of him, and the room was suddenly silent after a loud bang.

Leng Ran rubbed her forehead, guessing it was the sound of He Xiting's head hitting the door.

"...After the inspection is complete, let them in."

The nurse hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure you want them all to come in?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Leng Ran didn't seem to care. The room was a bit small, but there was still room for all of them to stand.

After a while.

He glanced coldly at the dozens of people surrounding his bed, as well as a group of people outside who hadn't managed to squeeze in, then turned to look at the nurse robot that was still packing up its equipment.

"Hello, I would like to take back what I just said. Is it too late?"

The nurse shook her head, pushed the equipment out of the ward, leaving Leng Ran, who was "surrounded by guards," behind.

With a bump on his head, He Xiting finally met Leng Ran as he had wished. Just as he was about to give Leng Ran a warm hug, Shen Junhan pulled him aside.

Faced with He Xiting's questioning gaze, Shen Junhan forced himself to come up with an excuse: "The patient still needs to rest."

"Oh, I was wrong." He Xiting was successfully fooled and winked at Leng Ran. "Ali, we have a surprise for you!"

Looking coldly at the people in the room, he smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? Your presence is already a shock to me, or rather, a pleasant surprise."

Zhao Yuheng strolled over carrying a gift box, and the crowd automatically made way for him.

"This isn't just politeness, Mo Li. It's because you deserve it." Zhao Yuheng handed the gift box to Leng Ran. "Open it and see?"

"Hmm?" Leng Ran opened the box with curiosity, but was stunned for two seconds when she saw what was inside.

Inside the box was a brand-new white shawl. The shawl was made of soft material, with a metal badge of the "sword" symbolizing the individual soldier class hanging on the chest. The edges of the shawl were outlined with exquisite gold thread, and the back was printed with the Storm Academy's emblem—a shield standing in the center of a storm.

"It belongs to you now," Zhao Yuheng said gently. "We first-year students have unanimously decided to elect Mo Li as the new chief student of the Individual Combat Department!"

Leng Ran thus became the only person in the history of Storm Military Academy to have obtained the top student qualification before the start of the semester.

Seeing Leng Ran's shocked expression, Zhao Yuheng smiled and said, "I told you, you deserve it."

Others chimed in.

"Brother Li is truly deserving!"

"I will follow you to the death! I will never regret it!"

His cold gaze softened: "Alright, I'll say it again: follow me, and I, Mo Li, will never betray your trust!"

He Xiting wiped away tears in the corner: "My Ali has grown up. As his older brother, I am so gratified."

Gao Xiao rolled his eyes at him: "Stop making a scene. Your roles are more like reversed."

"We've also prepared other gifts," Lu Tianyun stepped forward, cleared his throat, and shouted in a very childish tone, "Classmates, please give a toast to your king..."

A sense of foreboding rose in Leng Ran's heart.

"Offer your bread!"

The military academy students gathered in the room raised up various kinds of bread, and Yue Qiufeng also took out a package and handed it to Leng Ran, which contained a piece of cheese bread.

Yue Qiufeng explained, "Ali, I heard that you fainted because you didn't eat enough during the battle these past two days and you didn't have enough energy. So, we prepared a lot of snacks for you to take with you."

Leng Ran's lips twitched as he glanced around: "...I don't think I can take all of this with me, can I?"

"It's alright, we were prepared!" Lu Tianyun produced two sacks from somewhere and, together with He Xiting, began to "confiscate" the bread.

Lu Tianyun shouted, "Everyone, put the bread into these two sacks! Behave yourselves!"

Leng Ran: ...Why do I suddenly feel like a bread robber?

Rose's voice rang out at the right moment: "The Thorn will be landing on Storm Star in five minutes. All personnel, please prepare to disembark."
