My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 668 - 225: Departure, Husband and Wife Reunion_2
When the temporary passage was completed on the ninth morning, Du Xixi woke up early. She wasn’t embarking on this journey alone; after Chen Yin and the others researched for an entire day, they decided to have the caretaker robot, 2569, accompany Du Xixi into the passage.
This was not a casual decision. 2569 is a caretaker robot with remarkably high combat ability, and its body was reassembled previously, enhancing its performance and stability. If any unforeseen events occur en route, within controllable limits, 2569 could protect Du Xixi.
Moreover, 2569 internally possesses space compression technology, allowing it to store numerous supplies. Since Ke Lian and the others’ spiritual power is estimated to have failed, the Space Button wouldn’t work. However, 2569 doesn’t need spiritual power to access its internal storage space, allowing it to retrieve the prepared supplies once they reach that world.
Additionally, as a precaution, the special nutrition supplements provided by the Military Department were carried by both Du Xixi and 2569, each taking a hundred vials, ensuring they have enough to sustain them until the temporary passage opens again in that world.
As usual, Du Xixi sat at the dressing table. This table was crafted by Ke Lian himself; it’s simple in style and painted with a layer of purple lacquer that Du Xixi likes, but since Ke Lian made it himself, Du Xixi cherishes it deeply.
Du Xixi had cut her waist-long waterfall-like hair short, only to ear-length for practicality in the wild. She combed her hair repeatedly with the comb; her thick, smooth black short hair showed no signs of dryness or tangling after extensive care.
After a while, Du Xixi put down the comb and looked at herself in the mirror, trying to force a smile, only for a tear to fall unexpectedly. Inside, she was actually a bit scared. She didn’t know whether returning to this world after separating would remain just a luxury.
Here lies her family, friends, career... She’s not heartless or indifferent, so how could she part with them? Except Ke Lian seemed slightly more important than everything else, making Du Xixi unhesitant in choosing Ke Lian among them.
Du Xixi wiped away the tears, revealing no trace of disturbance except for slightly reddened eyes. She rose and went downstairs, her camo-colored sportswear reflecting a quiet demeanor, but the people in the living room watching her felt their reluctance intensifying.
"Xixi..." As the highest-ranking person present, Chen Yin stood at the forefront, holding Du Xixi’s little son in his arms. "I’ve arranged everything; the signal communicator is installed on 2569, you don’t have to be afraid, everything will be smooth."
Chen Yin’s words were as much for comforting Du Xixi as they were for himself. As he lightly patted the sleeping little Sansi, who, like his brothers, loved to sleep, he found himself deeply asleep even amidst the circumstances.
"I trust you all." Du Xixi could only choose to trust them; she realized she has no room for cowardice now. This was her choice, and the only chance to save Ke Lian and the others—even if it means death... Du Xixi would attempt it!
The temporary passage was constructed at the Ke Family’s residence, facilitating Du Xixi and 2569’s departure. Under the gaze of the people, one human and one robot boarded the spaceship, which could house at least twenty people. Yet, as the external door of the spaceship closed, neither inside nor outside could relax their hearts.
This is an automated spaceship; entering the passage requires minimal attention from Du Xixi and 2569. However, what happens next remains unknown. Du Xixi took a deep breath and waved her hand through the spaceship’s front window to those intently watching outside.
Chen Yin opened his mouth, feeling like there was endless talk with Du Xixi, but delaying wouldn’t help matters. He closed his eyes and said with an ancient, weary voice, "Let it begin."
The temporary passage opened, and a vast beam of blue-purple light appeared around the spaceship. Du Xixi felt her limbs went numb for a moment, as if her blood was flowing backwards, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
She was clearly seated with the seatbelt fastened securely, yet Du Xixi felt herself tipping over, only to be held by 2569 beside her, who called her several times until she felt more conscious.
