Three days later.
The Interstellar War that everyone was focused on had finally begun.
As the host, the Federation immediately brought out the most advanced multi-dimensional connection technology and realized interstellar network connectivity. This meant that this match would be broadcasted live across the entire galaxy and across dozens of different galaxies. In other words, at least two billion people would be watching this once-in-a-century match!
“It seems like the Federation has been developing well these past few years. After three days of separation, we should look at them in a new light!” Qi Shaobai glanced down and said with a rare hint of emotion in his tone.
“What do you mean?” Elder Qin laughed heartily and said sarcastically, “Everyone is making progress together!”
As the two of them exchanged words, there was already a wave of excitement from below.
“That’s right, the ones entering now are the people from the Wisdom Cloud Galaxy.” Just like the 21st century’s football match, the Galactic Combat arena was specially equipped with two shoutcasters. Their words carried a sense of humor and wit, the atmosphere was heated up. “The combination of beautiful looks and impressive strength. Every time the Wisdom Cloud Galaxy performs, it will amaze everyone! I wonder if they will continue to shine this time?”
Hearing this, Lan Lian, who was walking in the middle, raised her chin slightly. When she passed by the test stand, her eyes were filled with excitement!
When the test results came out, everyone was shocked!
“In the first 30 minutes, I have the honor of meeting the first underage contestant!” The commentator’s tone was also filled with excitement. “She is Princess Lan Lian from the Wisdom Cloud Galaxy!”
Every Galactic Combat had an unwritten rule. All underage contestants would be placed on a separate list. Their performance would be recorded by a professional, and from this, their full potential would be judged.
At this moment, the live broadcast was also flooded by the people from the Wisdom Cloud Galaxy.
“Oh! Princess Lan Lian, good job!”
“As expected of my Goddess, she is indeed amazing!”
…
“Tsk, what’s so great about a 29-year-old woman? If she’s capable, how can she compete with our Lucky Star?” The sudden appearance of such a special case out of a series of compliments immediately attracted the attention of the audience! However, when they flipped through the list of contestants, they did not see the name ‘Lucky Star’.
They were puzzled! A wave of exclamations came from the screen. What’s wrong? What’s wrong? What’s wrong?
They looked up!
Damn! Everyone was dumbfounded!
Eighteen years old? … Are you f*cking kidding me? Is there something wrong with this machine? Otherwise, why would there suddenly be an 18-year-old?
Am I looking at it the wrong way? Should it be 81 years old? There were really quite a number of people who had such thoughts. Therefore, at the same time, quite a number of people rubbed their eyes with all their might. When they looked up again, they were instantly shocked. What the F*ck! I’m not seeing things!
In a group of 60 to 70 years of age, Mo Chu’s ’18’ was particularly eye-catching!
One had to know that the youngest participant in the history of Galactic Combat was 24 years old. This meant that Mo Chu had broken the record!
Moreover, no one would be able to break this record again because this was too f*cking invincible! Just think about what they were doing when they were 18 years old? Then, they looked at Mo Chu. Sigh! Just comparing made them depressed!
At this moment, Mo Chu still did not know that she had already become the best spokesperson for ‘my children will never live up to her standards’. However, it was because of this that she received many people’s attention from the start.
After that, it was the Federation citizens’ turn to make a move!
In less than half a minute, the entire screen had been covered up by wave after wave of comments. Not even a single crack was left behind.
“Lucky Star, you can do it! We will always support you!”
“Right, we will be your solid backing!”
“Wow wow! Look at my Lucky Star! She’s really beautiful today!”
Today, Mo Chu was wearing a light grey top paired with a white undergarment. Her simple cut and neat lines made her look even more neat. Coupled with her exquisite looks, she appeared even more alluring and beautiful.
Unknowingly, Mo Chu had transformed from the childish little girl from before into the person she was today!
“Could it be that no one noticed that Little Chu and Marshal Ning were wearing matching outfits? Wahahaha!”
The moment this comment was posted, it caused everyone’s gossipy hearts to boil. Just as they were about to take a closer look, they realized that the entire screen had been completely blocked. They had no choice but to bear with the pain and turn off the comment function!
Taking a closer look, they realized that their little hearts were trembling!
In the past, most of the time, Ning Yiyuan appeared in front of everyone was dressed in a formal suit. He had a stern look on his face. Now that he had changed out of his suit and put on a gray casual suit, he instantly became much more cheerful. However, his handsome face was still as cold as before.
Just as everyone was feeling regretful, a camera suddenly zoomed in!
Ning Yiyuan turned to look at Mo Chu, and his cold gaze instantly turned gentle. He raised her eyebrows and a faint smile appeared on his face!
F*ck! What was the meaning of ‘gentle like ice breaking and flowing water’? This was it! The contrast was so cute that it pierced people’s hearts!
After that, according to the official statistics, the online viewership reached a peak at this scene! The motivation of a man was indeed strong!
…
“I didn’t expect that I would also have the opportunity to participate in the Galactic Combat!” Looking at the experts from different galaxies around him, Qin Yue’s face was filled with excitement. It was as if he had been injected with stimulants, and his blood was boiling.
“I didn’t think about it either.” After walking all the way from District 12 until now, Mo Yang only felt that everything was a bit surreal when he thought about it.
Indeed, the Galactic Combat was a huge competition and also an extremely attractive platform! Once they entered the Galactic Combat, they would be able to make a name for themselves in front of hundreds of millions of people. If they managed to achieve something, the effect would definitely be great! This Galactic Combat would definitely be more effective!
Of course, Galactic Combat was not easy to enter. Not to mention the difficulty of the talent selection, the things that Mo Chu and the rest had experienced before were all bloody lessons! What was worse was that Galactic Combat battle would only be held once every few hundred years. Some people could not even get a glimpse of it in their entire lives!
In that case, they were considered lucky!
“Mo Chu, go for it! We will definitely support you!” There were many fans standing below, and they were shouting their hearts out.
“Did you hear that, Sister?” Qin Yue bumped into Mo Chu’s shoulder without leaving a trace. “I have a feeling that you will definitely become popular!”
At this moment, Qin Yue still did not know that his words would become accurate in the near future.
“Excuse me.” Seeing Qin Yue’s action, Mo Yang immediately stepped in between the two of them and pushed Qin Yue to the side. “This is my Sister. Thank you!”
“Hey!” Qin Yue fell behind and rushed up with big strides. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. “Why are you so stingy? I’ve already said it before. Mo Chu is also my sister. There’s no way to change it!”
“Alright.” Mo Chu shook her head lightly and came down from the side of the examination table. “It’s your turn now.”
Due to Mo Chu’s astonishing age, their group had already attracted quite a lot of attention. In addition, this water girl’s good looks had attracted the attention of everyone.
In the end, when the results of the tests of Ning Yiyuan and the others came out, the people outside the screen could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva! What the hell! What is the Federation planning to do this year?
“It seems that the participants of this year’s Federation competition are all young!” The commentator on the stage could not help but exclaim in astonishment.
Indeed! This year, the Federation’s participants were all little fellows! Not to mention Mo Chu, the remaining Mo Yang, Ning Yiyuan, Qin Yue… none of them were more than 50 years old. This age span was at least half that of the other teams.
As a result, in an instant, practically everyone’s gazes were focused on Mo Chu’s team, instantly snatching away the brilliance of the other participants!
“Hmph! What’s the use of being young?” Lan Lian stood at the side, her eyes flashing with resentment!
She had always been the little princess who was the center of attention. Lan Lian was already used to the envious gazes and praises of others, and she was also used to being the center of attention. In the end, the glory that should have belonged to her now fell onto Mo Chu, how could she endure this feeling of falling behind? With the new and old grudges, she wanted Mo Chu to disappear!
Lan Han glanced at Lan Lian and said calmly, “Being young means that you’re talented!”
“So what if they’re talented?” Lan Lian gritted her teeth. “If they’re not strong enough, they might not survive this Galactic Combat!”
From what she said, Lan Lian was ready to make a move!
Lan Han raised his brows and smiled. “You’re right, if it’s an accident… no one could have predicted it.”
The leaders of the star systems sitting on the stage could not help but be surprised.
“I think the Federation is very confident about this Galactic Combat!” Qi Shaobai laughed lightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. “They sent out all these young people. Not bad, they have potential!”
However, they only had potential!
Other than Ning Yiyuan who had some actual combat experience, the others were probably just good-looking but useless! Such a person was in the limelight at this moment, but when it came to actual combat, they would be in big trouble! Thinking of this, Qiao Shaobai could not help but click his tongue.
Everyone present had experienced the great world, so how could they not understand the hidden meaning behind these words?
“General Qi, you don’t have to worry about this,” Elder Ning’s eyes turned cold as he said coldly, “Perhaps you still don’t know, the Spirit Food that you praised so much a few days ago was created by Mo Chu!”
Our Little Fellow from the Federation doesn’t only have potential, her strength is also not to be underestimated!
Upon hearing these words, Qi Shaobai’s expression could not help but change slightly. He snorted coldly and turned his head to look towards the center of the venue.
“Why, are you starting to defend Mo Chu now?” Elder Qin laughed softly. How could he not understand his old friend’s character? He was a classic example of a tough mouth but soft heart, yet he was extremely protective of his own shortcomings! As soon as he heard the words of others, he immediately retorted.
“What… What nonsense are you spouting!” Elder Qin’s expression stiffened slightly. He then pretended to act as if nothing had happened and spoke righteously, “I’m standing up for the reputation of our entire Federation. What does it have to do with that little lass? Hmph!”
“You… how many years has it been? You still have the same problem!” Elder Qin laughed lightly as he shook his head. When his gaze fell down, he could not help but frown slightly. Mo Chu was…
“What’s wrong?” Ning Yiyuan, who had been standing beside Mo Chu, naturally noticed her pale face. He quickly took a few steps forward and held her arm with his big palm. He asked in a low voice, “Are you not feeling well?”
“I…” Mo Chu opened her mouth. Her ears were slightly red, but she could not say it out loud.
A familiar abdominal pain surged up again, as if a few meridians had been forcefully pulled.
“Ugh–” Mo Chu softly cried out in pain, but her soft voice fell on Ning Yiyuan’s heart like thunder.
Little Chu had never been like this before! Ning Yiyuan furrowed his brows, and his tone was filled with concern and worry. “Why don’t we go to the treatment center to take a look?”
Go to the treatment center at this time…? Mo Chu raised her head. The people from the other galaxies beside him were discreetly glancing at them out of the corner of their eyes. If they left now, there was no guarantee what would happen in the future!
“Don’t!” Mo Chu held Ning Yiyuan’s large palm tightly and shook her head slightly. “It shouldn’t be a big deal. It’ll be fine in a while.”
According to her previous pattern, it would only happen the next day…
Staring at Mo Chu’s pale face, Ning Yiyuan’s expression darkened. “Don’t worry. Today is just a simple meeting ceremony. It’s not a big deal. Let’s go!”
As he said this, he did not allow Mo Chu to refuse, Ning Yiyuan half-supported her and brought her away.
The two’s actions naturally attracted the attention of many people. After all, everyone was trying their best to attract attention. However, Mo Chu and Ning Yiyuan did the opposite and left in a carefree manner. It could not help but make people curious.
“What’s wrong with Little Chu?”MoYang followed behind, his eyes filled with worry.
“Nothing.” Mo Chu shook her head lightly and smiled at Mo Yang. “It’ll be fine after a short rest.”
“Let’s go.” Ning Yiyuan half-carried Mo Chu and brought her away.
“Ha!” Lan Lian, who was behind them, saw this as well, and a hint of pride appeared in her eyes, “This sickly person is still able to enter the Galactic Combat, don’t tell me he has some connections?”
After all, Ning Yiyuan was the organizer of this Galactic Combat, so it was not impossible for him to get a few people in.
Most people had similar thoughts when they saw Mo Chu’s expression.
Ning Yiyuan did not know that someone was silently criticizing him and Mo Chu, staring at the little girl in his arms with concern!
“Sit here and rest. I’ll get Zhong Wen to come over right away, and then I’ll take you to the treatment center.”
“There’s no need.” When he heard this, Mo Chu quickly grabbed Ning Yiyuan’s large palm. “I’m just feeling a little uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after a short rest. I really don’t need to go to the treatment center.”
If she went to the treatment center for this issue, that would be really embarrassing!
“Really?” Seeing Mo Chu’s determined gaze, Ning Yiyuan still had some doubts.
“Yes!” Mo Chu nodded heavily.
“Okay.” As he said this, Ning Yiyuan suddenly half-squatted down and carried Mo Chu up. “There’s a resting room next to it. You should sleep well for a while.”
“Okay.” Half-leaning on Ning Yiyuan’s firm chest, Mo Chu nodded obediently.
In the lounge.
“Are you feeling better?” Stretching out his hand to tidy up the strands of hair on Mo Chu’s forehead, Ning Yiyuan’s expression was as gentle as water.
“Yes.” Covering himself with the blanket and lying down, Mo Chu also vaguely felt that the pain in her lower abdomen had lessened quite a bit.
Holding onto Mo Chu’s tender little hand, Ning Yiyuan frowned slightly. “Why are your hands so cold? I’ll go get you a cup of hot water, okay?”
Mmm! Mo Chu hurriedly nodded her head.
As soon as Ning Yiyuan left, she immediately sat up on the bed and rushed into the bathroom like a rocket. She pulled down her pants to take a look… Red plums were falling down!
With a miserable expression, Mo Chu forcefully pursed her lips. It was indeed… her period! It was just that after a thousand years, would the Federation still be using period napkins?
Opening the terminal, Mo Chu searched for the corresponding sanitary pads in the Starnetw. The moment he saw them, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
Nothing?
Why weren’t there any sanitary pads after searching the entire Starnet? This was illogical!
In the end, Mo Chu carefully searched through the information, only to discover with a bitter expression that the term ‘Menstruation’ had already disappeared from the female population of the Federation hundreds of years ago. The corresponding sanitary pads had also disappeared in the long river of history, the only remaining bag of sanitary napkins in the Federation had already been stored in the Federation Museum. According to the relevant personnel, it was sold for hundreds of millions of Federation Coins!
What the hell was this?
Mo Chu swallowed hard. Previously, she had thought that she had a small savings. Now that she looked at it, she could not even afford to buy a sanitary napkin. How could this happen?
When Ning Yiyuan came in with hot water, she saw Mo Chu’s face filled with despair. Her heart instantly tightened. “What’s wrong? Are you still not feeling well?”
“No.” Mo Chu shook her head stiffly. This blow was too much for her to accept!
Ning Yiyuan still had some doubts in his heart. He passed the hot water to the corner of Mo Chu’s mouth. “Come, drink some water.”
The warm water flowed down her stomach and into her lower abdomen. It seemed to have dispelled the chill in her stomach and she instantly felt much better. Mo Chu let out a low sigh and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Seeing her slightly red little face, Ning Yiyuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
A warm current suddenly flowed down, and Mo Chu’s body suddenly stiffened!
Ning Yiyuan’s brows furrowed, and his nose twitched slightly. He cried out in alarm, “Are you injured?”
Otherwise, how could he have smelled the faint smell of blood?
“No, no.” Mo Chu took a few steps back, and her face was full of embarrassment. She could not even block it.
Ning Yiyuan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Are you hiding something from me?”
“Well…” Mo Chu lowered her head and did not say anything for a long time.
Ning Yiyuan raised her eyebrows and reached out to take off Mo Chu’s clothes.
“What are you doing?” Mo Chu grabbed his collar tightly and stared at Ning Yiyuan with a lecherous expression.
“Since you’re not willing to tell me, I can only look at it myself.” Ning Yiyuan’s gaze was gentle, and his tone was somewhat coaxing. “Be good, where are you bleeding from? Don’t be afraid, tell me!”
Mo Chu’s face was flushed red. Where was she bleeding from? How could she say these words?
Seeing Mo Chu’s uncooperative look, Ning Yiyuan could only half-bow and prepare to undo her clothes.
“Don’t, don’t!” Mo Chu took a few steps back until her back was against the wall. Then she compromised, “I’ll say it, I’ll say it’s!”
Only then did Ning Yiyuan stop. Looking at Mo Chu’s white collar, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes.
What are you trying to do with that look? Mo Chu stared at Ning Yiyuan with black lines. When he straightened up, she said, “My period is here.”
“Huh?” No matter how knowledgeable Ning Yiyuan was, he could not connect this word to the special period of women a hundred years ago. He could not help but raise his eyebrows in confusion.
“It’s just that there are a few days every month… When I bleed!” God knows how conflicted it was to talk about such things with a man. What was even more tragic was that she had to explain it to him in detail. Mo Chu’s little face was so hot that it could boil an egg!
