Chapter 153: Yue Zhongxian Pays Respects to Su Miantang Mianxia
She pressed it without a single second of hesitation.
[Dingâ]
In a flash, several rays of blinding, piercing light erupted from the action figure.
[‘Level-One Alert! Level-One Alert! Level-One Alert!’]
[‘Smart brain has detected the master’s combat summon. Automatic positioning initiated!’]
[‘High-end offensive protocol detected. Commencing counter-destruction mode. Bypassing standard security protocols in 0.01 seconds to breach system… Installing virus to infect hardware and software chips in 0.02 seconds… Altering system data chains and control pathways in 0.03 seconds…’]
Just as Su Miantang was about to shield her eyes from the piercing light, she felt the grotesque mechanical spider legs clamping brutally around her suddenly freeze.
Across the massive playground, a tumultuous wave of shock and awe erupted from the crowd.
“Wowâ”
“That’s so cool!!!”
“Look, Teacher! It’s a mecha warrior! A super sleek, incredibly badass mecha warrior!”
“The mecha warrior is here to save us!”
She lifted her head slightly, only to see a massive, magnificent silver mecha blotting out the sun as it descended. It was Yue Zhongxian’s complete mechanical formâthe Diamond Mecha Warrior.
Behind him was a pair of sharp, swift, aerodynamic wings that glinted with a brilliant metallic luster under the sun. His entire chassis was constructed from complex, intricate, and reinforced alloy components. Icons for a shield, energy core, and laser control systems flickered faintly across his chest. His flawless, towering build looked as if an AI had meticulously sculpted every single millimeter according to the golden ratioâa flawless fusion of machinery, cutting-edge technology, and raw aesthetics, projecting an unparalleled, peak combat capability.
Wherever he passed, the grotesque black spider robots either disintegrated into dust or rained down in dense clusters.
Even though she had seen countless pictures and videos of him conquering the interstellar battlefields, Su Miantang was still profoundly shaken by the spectacle unfolding right before her eyes.
Sister, I’m here!
No time for hesitation.
In the next split second, he was already right in front of her.
A cold, mechanical palm gently wrapped around her waist, instantly warming up the moment it made contact with her delicate skin. His eyes, usually as sharp and icy as high-tech sensors, now burned with an intensely fervent light, as if harboring an ocean of boundless, overflowing emotion.
The speed at which he had charged over could be measured in mere milliseconds, yet his descent was incredibly gentle and slow, as if these brief few seconds were a moment his heart had yearned for over an eternity.
Professor Brenda watched the scene, completely dumbfounded.
There was only one entity in the entire interstellar realm capable of hijacking and dismantling a fleet of high-end intelligent robots in the blink of an eye while possessing such a magnificent, breathtaking mecha chassis.
The Star Lord of the Yuehui Star System.
As the two of them touched down gently on the ground, a crowd of children erupted in joyful cheers, scrambling forward to surround them in a tight circle.
“Ahhhhh! Mecha warrior! Mecha warrior, let me touch you!”
[‘Thank you, brave mecha warrior!’]
[‘Is the mecha warrior here to save the Fairy Sister?’]
[‘The mecha warrior is so cool! Fairy Sister is so pretty! The mecha warrior looks so perfect holding Fairy Sister!’]
[‘But one of the mecha warrior’s hands is bigger than Fairy Sister’s entire waist!’]
Amidst the clamor, Yue Zhongxian released his hold on her and took two steps back.
Then, placing a hand over his reinforced alloy chest, he dropped to one knee and saluted her.
Since she had claimed they had never known each other, they would start anew, beginning from this exact moment.
“Yuehui Star Commander, herbivorous SS-grade combat maleâYue Zhongxian, pays respects to Su Miantang Mianxia.”
As his words fell, the mangled mechanical limbs scattered across the ground and the partially intact black spiders suddenly hovered back into the air. Just as panic rippled through the crowd, with everyone fearing a second wave of attacks was about to begin…
They soared to the highest point in the sky, and thenâ
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless clusters of brilliant, dazzling fireworks erupted across the sky.
“Wowâ”
“What beautiful fireworks!”
“There’s one here, and another over there! The entire sky is full of fireworks, it’s so romantic~”
The crowd looked up in awe, admiring the grand, spectacular display. Illuminated by the beautiful pyrotechnics, Yue Zhongxian’s gaze burned with absolute fervor as he looked at her with deep, unadulterated affection.
This sudden, terrifying attack now felt like a grand celebration orchestrated for their reunion.
He had not only neutralized the black spiders within this nursery school, but had concurrently decimated the robots Planet X had deployed across other regions of the planet.
For the supreme hegemon of the Yuehui Star System to protect the Central Star so fiercely, it could only mean one thingâhe was pursuing Researcher Su.
Professor Brenda smiled, joining the other teachers and the principal in turning an expectant gaze toward Su Miantang, waiting for her to give this heroic savior an enthusiastic response or reward. Yet, nobody could have anticipated what happened next…
Her face remained entirely blank as she turned on her heel and walked away.
Huh?
“Researcher Su.”
Sister!
Yue Zhongxian immediately followed her.
Fearing her resentment, he didn’t dare trail too closely, maintaining a strict five-meter distance behind her.
As Su Miantang walked out of the nursery school, he followed her all the way out. His massive mecha chassis retracted slightly as he kept his head lowered, looking exactly like a child who had done something wrong.
He managed to look both utterly massive and incredibly aggrieved.
Drawing frequent, bewildered side-glances from passersby.
“Isn’t that robot way too cool?”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen one like it before. I wonder which corporation manufactured it…”
“Its master is really cold-hearted to just ignore him like that.”
The moment Su Miantang boarded her aircraft, he spread his wings and soared right behind her, his dashing, majestic flight path fully captured across the monitoring screens.
Su Miantang touched down in the Jiuqing Villa Area.
He wanted to follow her inside, but sensing a restriction barrier, he froze in his tracks.
This… must have been something she asked Jun Chengyin to set up, right?
Specifically to keep him out.
Silently, he walked over to a corner of the garden and crouched down, preparing to wait just as he always did. He only needed to wait through the sunset, endure the darkness of the night, and once the next morning arrived and the sun rose, she would step outside. She would pass right by this spot to feed the stray cats and dogs, lingering for a full five minutes.
It would pass quickly.
He couldn’t resist lifting his head to catch one last, lingering glimpse of her silhouette today before downcastly withdrawing his gaze.
A few seconds later…
As if suddenly realizing something.
His head snapped back up!
Sister actually left the door open?!
Could this meaning be…
His gaze trembled violently. In a near-frenzy, he dashed forward, tore right through the restriction barrier, and barged into the four-story detached villa.
After returning inside, Su Miantang set down her bag, spared a brief glance at the action figure hanging from it, and walked into the kitchen. She placed the pre-prepared ingredients into the automated cookware, programmed the timers for the various smart systems, washed her hands, and subtly pricked up her ears.
Still no sound…
“Xiao Mi.”
“I’m here, Master.”
“I forgot to close the door just now. Go shut it for me.”
[Buzzâ]
Xiao Mi scratched its head with an antenna in embarrassment. “Master, the door won’t close.”
“Why not?”
“You’ll understand once you take a look outside.”
Frowning, the young girl walked out in confusion, only to see… the magnificent, awe-inspiring, and fiercely cool Diamond Mecha Warrior completely wedged in the doorway. She nearly burst out laughing on the spot.
