Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 566 - 552 Lady Xue
Linyin held her head in anguish, trapped in a cramped little room. The space felt like a cell, with the dim night sky visible through the small window, and the colossal, partially missing moon could be faintly seen. Like Sumer's satellite, it was tidally locked, but this one was incomplete, resembling an apple bitten off at a corner.

"How did it come to this?" Linyin was extremely anxious. She was just a non-combatant researcher who, after tremendous effort, had found the Divine Weapon, only to have it taken away by Xu Lanzhou.
She had been engaged in the research of the Twelve Divine Weapons for years and was well aware of the power a single Divine Weapon possessed. If Divine Weapon really fell into Xu Lanzhou's hands, and she refused to continue serving Bai Zhongqi, or even opposed him, that would spell trouble.
Just then, the door of the small room suddenly made the sound of unlocking.
Linyin stared at the door like a vigilant rabbit, fearing some villain might enter. After all, she was a stunning beauty with an exceptionally enticing figure, and she dreaded imagining her dismal fate.
The person who entered took Linyin by surprise.
"Han Jiaxue?!" Linyin exclaimed with joy.
Han Jiaxue's face bore a gentle smile as she stood there in a long dress that seemed to add a million points of fairy-like aura. Her lazy curls were gathered into a bun with a charming fringe hanging over her breathtaking face. The sheer hem of her dress revealed her fair and slender legs, and even Linyin felt swooned looking at them.
If Han Jiaxue had been a fresh and pretty girl twenty years ago, now she had completely transformed into a peerless woman exuding her own aura, mature charm, yet without a hint of aging.
She rushed over and hugged Han Jiaxue, looked at her face, and couldn't help but hug her again.
"It's so good to see you, let me bask in your glory for a bit, you are so beautiful ahhh!" Linyin couldn't help but express her envy.
Although she was also a one-in-a-million beauty, with attributes that made her the focus of everyone's attention, she lacked a personal sense of style in her choice of clothing.
The gentle smile on Han Jiaxue's face remained unwavering: "It's so good to see you."
Linyin spoke with a hint of fear from her recent scare: "I thought you were put under house arrest by that Xu Shisan too."
Han Jiaxue's eyes twinkled like morning stars as she smiled and said, "Indeed, she did that, but not everyone in the Champion Mercenary Corps is loyal to her."
Linyin asked with some excitement: "Then can we escape?"
Han Jiaxue shook her head: "In this building, as long as she doesn't discover us, we can have a bit of freedom, but she controls all spacecraft coming and going from Sumer Star, which won't be easy. And even if we leave, where can we go?"
Linyin wanted to suggest seeking out the green-haired one but didn't speak up.
Han Jiaxue asked again, "Did you say he's coming back soon?"
Her expression looked calm, but her rosy lips were trembling slightly, a clear sign of her immense excitement.
Linyin believed this was the reaction that should be expected. She said, "Yes, the person who saved me and helped me leave the Star Alliance is an incredibly mystical individual. She told me, within these few years, the Chancellor is going to return to the Second Universe, and that's when the troubles for Xiao Yu's Star Alliance will begin. My journey to the Wilds of the Galaxy this time is also to prepare for his return."
Han Jiaxue didn't ask what kind of preparations Linyin was making. With her astute understanding of people, she knew that asking such a question might lead Linyin to suspect her of being in the same group as Xu Lanzhou, trying to extract Linyin's deepest secrets. Han Jiaxue also hoped for Bai Zhongqi's return, and she knew that what Linyin had was beneficial to him; the specifics were not necessary for her to grasp.
At that moment, Han Jiaxue showed a somewhat mature smile that, combined with her exceptionally beautiful cheeks, made Linyin's breath quicken slightly. She said, "It's been eighteen years, I've already become a middle-aged woman, even convinced myself that he was no longer alive. Now, hearing the news of his return, I find myself somewhat at a loss."
Linyin had heard some tales about the Champion Mercenary Corps, knowing that the leader was brave and good at fighting, and that the corps had a strategic mastermind, likely the Mrs. Xue they talked of.
Linyin took her jade-like hand and said, "What are you talking about? You are unbelievably gorgeous. When the Chancellor comes back and sees you, the first thing he might do is sweep you into his room."
Han Jiaxue blushed slightly, now her heart was in turmoil. From the beginning, she had been an extremely independent girl; despite her feelings for Bai Zhongqi, she didn't want to simply become an appendage to him. After losing Bai Zhongqi, she even valiantly helped Xu Lanzhou start a mercenary group and single-handedly raised the daughter she had with Bai Zhongqi. Now that Bai Zhongqi was returning, she didn't know how to tell him that they had a child together. What worried her even more was that she didn't know whether the Bai Zhongqi returning was still the senior who once loved her wholeheartedly.
Noticing the complexity of Han Jiaxue's emotions, Linyin understood that such news required time to digest. She then asked, "What exactly is the deal with Xu Lanzhou?"
Han Jiaxue gave a wry smile and said, "She has been through too much over these years, now she has multiple personalities. I noticed it early on, but when I finally couldn't help mentioning it to her, I didn't expect that one personality called Xu Shisan would put me under house arrest."
Linyin's mouth formed an O in surprise, "She has split personalities? That's intense."
Pity showed in Han Jiaxue's eyes as she sighed, "It's my fault for not taking good care of her. Now that Xu Lanzhou has become Xu Shisan, I bear some responsibility. But I still believe that the charming knight will come back. I can't let Bai see a completely changed Xu Lanzhou when he returns."
Linyin nodded, her worry evident as she asked, "I heard from Xu Shisan that the 95th Fleet of the Star Alliance is preparing to attack the Wilds of the Galaxy, and their target is you and Xu Lanzhou, right? What should we do?"
"The Wilds of the Galaxy is a grave of civilization; even if the Star Alliance enters here, it isn't safe. We can't abandon Sumer Star; this place is the foundation of the Champion Mercenary Corps, at least until Bai returns, we should have something to hand over to him. Xu Shisan won't back down either, this place is too important to her."
"But like this, we can't defeat the 95th Fleet; we can't rely solely on the legends of the Wilds of the Galaxy."
Han Jiaxue sat serenely, her unearthly beauty intoxicating, and she said, "The Wilds of the Galaxy has other forces too, Xu Shisan has already started making contact with them. We can also find other supporters, at least for this battle, there is some possibility of fending off the Star Alliance's fleet."
Linyin felt Han Jiaxue was not entirely sincere but had few options left.
"I just hope the Chancellor returns soon," she thought to herself.
