Jiang Cheng and Ran hadn’t figured out what she was up to when she hurriedly ran back, carrying what looked like a bucket of paint in her hand.

It turned out that the little girl was quite impatient; since Jiang Cheng and Yanran both agreed to name the spaceship "Ba Lv", she couldn’t wait. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Luckily, the resources at the base were rich and plentiful, almost everything was available. When Ba Lv asked a local where to find paint, he cheerfully handed her a bucket, and when he learned what the girl intended to do with the paint, he enthusiastically helped her carry a ladder over.

So, with the help of the friendly local, Ba Lvluo climbed the ladder and began painting the name of the spaceship on the bow.

How’s it look? Ba Lv jumped down from the ladder, proudly looking at Jiang Cheng and Xuran standing nearby.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran were surprised that Ba Lv didn’t name the spaceship "Ba Lv", even though both of them had agreed to this name. Clearly, Ba Lv wasn’t a selfish little girl. The name she left on the bow was "Ran VS Ba Lv".

Yanran embraced Ba Lv Qian, deeply moved by her gesture. Although she didn’t care what the spaceship was called, Ba Lv’s actions undoubtedly warmed her heart.

Jiang Cheng was also quite pleased; Ba Lv’s thoughtful gesture made him feel very comfortable.

He was always secretly worried about this disciple from the Dark World, fearing her nature might be tainted.

But now he held an optimistic outlook on her future journey in life; the little girl’s nature was indeed good, which put him at ease.

He glanced at Yanran, who was warmly hugging Ba Lv, knowing that Yanran’s influence and support had been the greatest in Ba Lv’s transformation.

Ran had started with the little things, slowly instilling human moral principles deep into Shang Lv’s soul, gradually cleansing any impurities that might reside within Ba Lv.

Their friendship was like gentle rain; it silently nurtured and sustained Ba Lv’s heart.

Now, her hard work finally paid off, and thus hugging Ba Lv was more about feeling moved by her kindness than anything else.

The base’s commander approached; he had already briefed his subordinates on what to say and was now asking Jiang Cheng and the others if they were ready to take off.

Jiang Cheng, Ran, and Ba Lvluo, along with the Flaming Firebird—which was indeed an important fella, not to be forgotten casually—were aboard the latest model of the combat spacecraft.

The base’s commander was aboard a regular combat spacecraft.

Although the base’s artillery had been wiped out by Jiang Cheng and the team, there were still some other aircraft around.

With everything prepared, the two spacecraft took off one after the other, heading straight into outer space.

Ba Lv confidently sat in the pilot’s seat, as she maneuvered the spaceship, she couldn’t stop marveling that this spacecraft truly was the pinnacle of technology and craftsmanship from Erma Planet.

The spaceship was incredibly easy to pilot; though it had both manual and computer-controlled features like other crafts, the artificial intelligence on this vessel far surpassed that of other flying machines.

Its powerful prediction abilities and long-range foresight, combined with advanced AI, made piloting exceptionally effortless.

Although Ba Lv knew this was specially built for King De of Erma Planet, the little girl wasn’t thinking much about it. She didn’t realize that since it was custom-made for the ruler, even the pilot seat couldn’t afford to be uncomfortable.

If the pilot reported to the ruler that the ship was difficult and tiring to fly, the likelihood of accidental occurrences would increase significantly, possibly endangering the ruler’s life.

Who would these leaders listen to? Certainly to the pilots; this was obvious at a glance.

The blame would fall on the spacecraft’s designers.

The old saying goes, better offend a noble than offend a villain, and that’s the truth.

Though these people held lower positions, they were frequently around the ruler; if they were to whisper something in the ruler’s ear, the consequences could be endless.

Ba Lv had never piloted such an advanced spaceship before; she was completely captivated by this new experience and didn’t want to speak to Jiang Cheng and Yanran.

Seeing her absorbed demeanor, Yanran playfully punched her shoulder, and even the Flaming Firebird seized the chance to peck lightly at her head while she was unguarded.

Jiang Cheng had already stretched out comfortably on the bed.

Although he no longer needed sleep, why sit stiffly when you could lie comfortably?

Beside him, the Flaming Firebird perched there, its eyes half-open, clearly enjoying itself.

Yanran glanced at Ba Lv immersed in the joy of flying, then at Jiang Cheng and the Flaming Firebird laid back on the bed, shook her head, and slowly entered a meditative state.

Behind them, the base commander’s and Shorty’s spacecraft followed.

"I can’t understand why you gave them one of our spacecraft. Don’t you know there are only three of these? It’s so rare," Shorty said to the base commander next to him, his tone tinged with a touch of complaint.

At this point, Shorty had truly regarded this commander as his confidant, speaking without reservation.

Previously, he would have surely smiled and said, "It’s alright," while secretly noting the commander’s autonomous decision. Next, he would wait for a suitable opportunity—if none arose, he would create one—to deal with the subordinate who erred.

If he happened to be in a good mood on the day of judgment, then that subordinate would be fortunate; at least he wouldn’t be burdened by terrible charges.

If the opposite were true, the subordinate would just have to rely on luck, and if he held any faith, it would be best to pray for divine intervention.

Shorty was such a person, smiling in front, stabbing from behind.

However, if such a person sincerely treated someone else, they would trust them more than others.

Now Shorty treated the base commander that way.

Facing the fearsome extraterrestrial man, even Shorty’s legs trembled in fear; he felt certain he would die at the hands of these three.

But he hadn’t anticipated the scene before him—the base commander speaking out in front of the fearsome extraterrestrial man.

Watching the commander conversing with the man, Shorty standing behind had a clear view.
