CHAPTER 705: CHAPTER 709: INTERSTELLAR CASANOVA (28)

No matter what the various powers thought about Su Li, it was useless without finding her.

The second year, Su Li disappeared from public view, and no one could track her down.

Yet rumors about her would flare up every so often.

Ten years later, a mysterious organization appeared before the interstellar public.

By the time the Federation, the Empire, and several other forces realized something was amiss, this organization named Free Will had already gained significant influence.

After failing to strike it down, they had no choice but to accept it.

However, they discovered that the initiator of Free Will was none other than Su Li, about whom rumors abounded despite her absence.

Although Su Li wasn’t the leader of the organization, what was terrifying was that all of its members were her fanatical followers.

It was terrifying, just like a cult organization, fanatically supporting the existence of Su Li.

Especially the supreme leader of Free Will, who seemed quite normal and wise when they gathered together, but as soon as the spiritual symbol of Free Will was mentioned, they became as excited and manic as if on drugs.

Moreover, Free Will was quite friendly to several other powers, adhering to an attitude that if you’re good and I’m good, then everyone’s good, except for the Federation...

They would take every opportunity, even create them, to sabotage the Federation.

And the head of the Federation was left disheveled by the leader of Free Will, much to the amusement of the other powers.

And Su Li, who casually started an illegal assembly, dusted off her pants and walked away.

Truth be told, she didn’t do it on purpose.

Even she didn’t know how, over the span of ten years, she had acquired a throng of people desperate to follow her wherever she went.

Regarding this, Su Li firmly believed it was because she was too beautiful, the kind of beauty that transcended age and gender.

They were definitely mesmerized by her beauty.

--------

Ten years had passed when she saw Su Xun again, and Su Li took a while to recognize her, feeling only a sense of familiarity.

It took quite some time before she pulled out the information about this person from her memory.

Oh, it was her.

Su Xun, at this moment, was unlike the bright and beautiful image she presented when Su Li first laid eyes on her, like a little Princess.

She looked as if she were in her forties or fifties, though she was not even thirty yet.

This small world was one Su Li happened upon by chance, remote and ancient.

There was a complete absence of high technology on the planet, much like the people recorded in ancient history on the mother planet.

Their daily lives followed the rhythm of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

There was little in the way of entertainment, and the people here had few desires, living according to the instincts of living beings.

Upon reflection, it was actually quite nice.

The original inhabitants, without so many distractions, had simpler minds and found it easier to be content.

This kind of life seemed beautiful, enough to make Su Li want to halt her ceaseless wandering and find a rare peace here.

It reminded her of the many small worlds she had passed through.

She constantly moved from one small world to another, never stopping to thoroughly reflect on her experiences.

Until now...

But the tranquility of now was quickly shattered by outsiders.

A madwoman suddenly darted out from the corner, exhibiting a temperament that clashed with the people around her, making others reluctant to approach.

"Mom, it’s me... I’m Su Xun, take me away from here, I don’t want to be on this planet..."

Before Su Li could speak, she learned about Su Xun’s past ten years through her neurotic, ceaseless babbling.

She wasn’t here voluntarily, but had been thrown onto this remote little planet.

This small world was so remote that, aside from Su Li’s Flying Device, no other outsiders had visited in the past ten years.

Without a spaceship, Su Xun would never be able to leave this place.

To Su Xun, living here was worse than her days on the garbage star, how could she possibly accept it.

On the garbage star, she could still learn about the outside world’s wonders through the Star Network, but on this tiny planet, except for watching flowers, water, and plants and crops, there wasn’t anything else to interest her.

No, there was one other thing that brought embarrassment upon mention...

That was the local people’s extreme passion for procreation, fervently indulging in the activities of the bed at night.

Everything here was torture to Su Xun, and this torture had persisted for ten years.

She would often think, if only she had stayed on the garbage star and not wandered away, at least it wouldn’t be like it is now.

And lately, Su Xun often thought of her mother, and then, looking up, she saw her mother’s figure.

She rubbed her eyes hard. It wasn’t a delusion.

Su Xun charged toward her like she had seen the last straw to grasp onto.

This time, she absolutely wouldn’t speak to her mother as she had before. She would do anything just to be able to leave this damned place.

Su Li watched Su Xun, who was trying to move her with her pathetic and pitiable appearance, pursed her lips, and then spoke indifferently, "Lady, you’ve got the wrong person... I’m not your mom, I couldn’t have birthed a girl as old as you."

Without needing a detailed comparison, anyone with eyes could see that the two looked very different, resembling perhaps a senior and a junior.

But actually, the relationship was the reverse; Su Xun looked much older.

Moreover, Su Li was dressed like a man, and so the surrounding people thought that Su Xun, the mad old woman, was having mental issues.

They spoke up one after another, defending Su Li, "Young man, don’t bother with her; she’s gone mad with the desire to leave this place."

"After such a long time, you’re the only outsider to have come. She’s probably going to latch onto you."

It wasn’t just Su Xun who wanted to leave; the locals weren’t too happy with her being there either.

This madwoman, always rambling about the outside world’s glitz and glamour, they were worried she might corrupt their simple and good customs.

What would they do if their boys and girls started having undesirable thoughts like hers...

"Young man, you’ll be leaving soon anyway, why not do a good deed and take her with you?"

The elder who said this hadn’t finished speaking before he was silenced by others.

"Don’t, what if the crazy woman really clings to this young man? We can’t cause trouble for the young man just because we want her gone."

It seemed that the locals’ character was quite decent, a different level compared to the people on Snow Mine Star.

Indeed, when people see and know less, their hearts become smaller, only able to focus on what’s directly in front of them.

Sometimes when you think about it, it’s not a bad thing; at least, for the most part, they have their simple joys.

Su Xun struggled with all her might to get closer to Su Li, but to no avail, she could not breach Su Li’s barrier and could only cry out desperately, "Mom, are you really that heartless?"

Su Li: "I’ve already told you, I don’t have a daughter."

What’s the cruelest thing in this world? It’s not the lack of hope, but helplessly watching your last hope slip away from your fingertips.

Su Xun felt that now, as she watched the ship, out of place on this planet, turn into a small black dot in the sky, and then disappear altogether.

She wondered if she could wait another ten years for a new outsider to arrive.
