Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1240 - 1209: Major Events

Although the sovereignty and high-level governance issues are far from Chen Fei's concern, they might unexpectedly involve him at any time, especially now during the counter-invasion against the "Sagali" civilization. If any unforeseen impact occurs, it could lead to significant consequences.

Chen Fei's uncle, who stands at a higher social hierarchy and perspective, meticulously analyzed the current situation and possible future directions for Chen Fei, along with the forces to be cautious of and the strengths to leverage.

Before heading into an irreversible disastrous conclusion, there will almost always be a crisis state where danger and opportunity coexist for a long time, requiring finding key breakthrough points from multiple perspectives.

Two heads are better than one, and the uncle's insights are beyond the reach of elite executors like Miyoshi Xuesen.

This conversation lasted until midnight.

The sound of mahjong echoed through the living room, completely unceasing (thanks to SPA Fruit, everyone was full of energy, with no hint of sleepiness).

The Chen Family has more than enough guest rooms, comfortably accommodating Chen Fei and others. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Before breakfast, Chen Shan urgently pulled Chen Fei aside.

"Give me another one of those SPA Fruits!"

"Why? You just used one yesterday, didn't you?"

Chen Fei was puzzled; SPA Fruit isn't for casual consumption. One can't use it every day.

"Did you see that?"

Chen Shan pointed to his left eye, which was all black.

"Yes, of course!"

Chen Fei was startled; he thought to himself, "You bumped into me, how's that my fault?"

The intervention of the S-Class Space Ability User was naturally dismissed by him.

"Since you saw it, shouldn't you take responsibility?"

Chen Shan confidently demanded justice for himself. What's one SPA Fruit worth? Everyone in the family had one last night.

"Oh, I understand!"

Chen Fei decided to take responsibility, raising his fist the size of a sand pot, aiming at Chen Shan's right eye.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Shan jumped back in fright, warily watching Chen Fei.

"Symmetrical beauty!"

Chen Fei admitted his compulsive disorder flared up; one dark eye circle looked out of place, but if it matched, then harmony would prevail.

"To hell with symmetrical beauty, you just want to hit me!"

Chen Shan was willing to bet that this shameless brother, Chen Xiao'er, had no good intentions at all. At this moment, he was still thinking of hammering him to make a complete set of panda eyes.

Chen Fei earnestly said, "Didn't you want me to take responsibility?" He really meant it.

"Huh? What I meant was to use SPA Fruit to remove the dark circles!"

Chen Shan glared at Chen Fei, gritting his teeth, thinking to himself how utterly rotten his conscience must be.

"Just for one dark circle, is it necessary to waste something so precious? Use a hot towel, or find someone to cast a Light Healing Technique later!"

Chen Fei shook his head decisively.

Using a SPA Fruit, which comprehensively rejuvenates the mind and body, solely to remove a dark circle? Even the Emperor wouldn't dare to waste it like that! (No Emperors throughout history have ever encountered something like SPA Fruit)

"Cheapskate!" Chen Shan muttered, knowing the SPA Fruit has immediate effects, but looking at Chen Fei's fist, he realized trying it meant risking his life. This lousy brother always thought about beating him up.

Compared to the inept peers of the Lin Family, Chen Shan didn't realize how lucky he was with Chen Fei. What's a few punches? That's sibling affection—when an elder brother scolds, it's love; care can even come with a kick.

Chen Shan happened to see his father coming down the stairs. Just as he planned to complain, his eyes widened suddenly, taking a deep breath in shock.

"Dad! Have you rejuvenated?"

Indeed, it seemed so!

The dyed black hair wasn't noticeable for now, but the wrinkles and age spots, those traces of time's wear he clearly remembered on his father's face, couldn't possibly be concealed. Yet now, the skin was smooth and firm, all blemishes gone, looking as if he had youthfully regressed by at least thirty years. Even the belly was gone, the whole figure slimmer, more muscular and well-proportioned.

Upon waking up in the morning, he'd "consumed" an SPA Fruit, treating it as extra sleep, otherwise he wouldn't have caught a wink all night.

The four elder sisters who were bustling around the dining table suddenly paused, all intently examining their father, and issued incredulous exclamations.

"He's really gotten younger!"

"Looks like a different person!"

"Matches mom now!"

"Looks even younger than Ah Hong (eldest brother-in-law)! That's quite overdone!"

Turning back to their own grumpy men, they thought, indeed, there was a positive change. Otherwise, the current expression would unmistakably be one of disdain.

The brothers-in-law were utterly anxious! Utterly anxious! They looked at Chen Xiao'er in unison, their gratitude beyond words, family indeed!

"Haha, the effect varies from person to person, for some, it's particularly noticeable."

Chen Fei's voice joined in, he just didn't expect the SPA fruit's effect to be so great on his uncle. Others might only look ten to twenty years younger, but his uncle was immediately back to his prime fighting age.

Aunt looked at Chen Xiao'er with a face full of kindness, as if Chen Fei was her own son and Little Shanzi was just delivered food.

"Haha, is it so! I feel great! Even my herniated disc and sciatica seem to be gone."

Chen Haiqing's clothes appeared very loose, as he had indeed lost a lot of weight, at least over forty pounds.

Since the clothes from his younger days were long gone, the current clothes were clearly ill-fitting. So before leaving the room, he re-measured his dimensions and weight, then informed his assistant to prepare some clothes for him.

The biological technology of the "Sagali" civilization can indeed leave the Blue Star civilization at least eight hundred streets behind, as this is precisely where their strengths lie.

"Let's have breakfast first, what time is Little Shan's test training?"

Chen Haiqing's wife, with their daughters, had just finished preparing a sumptuous breakfast for the whole family and their guests.

"Ten in the morning!"

Chen Shan was the first to pick up the bowl and chopsticks. He still had to hurry back to the airport for a physical exam, and prepare for a warm-up before the trial training, to present his best state for the Sky Knight's qualification test.

The large rectangular table that could seat more than ten people soon filled up. Even Lord Jia Ma and Heseman Brown were very skilled at using chopsticks, a dining utensil with a long history.

Western cutlery like knives and forks became popular and widespread only in the last four hundred years; before that, it was all knives and hand-grabbing, nowhere near as convenient as chopsticks.

"Here, small steamed buns, half for you, half for me!"

Considerately, Chen Fei handed a basket of soup dumplings to his girlfriend.

Aunt's cooking skills were excellent. Whether it was red dishes or white dishes, she excelled at both, her four daughters were all taught to be skillful cooks, just like their mother.

As for the youngest son, Chen Shan, haha, let's not talk about it, he's only good at eating.

"Do you want some fried dough sticks?"

After being fed, Shen Fei returned the favor with fried dough sticks.

"Have you tried pizza with fried dough sticks? I'll make some for you to try next time."

Chen Fei was not an active duty pilot, so he didn't have many dietary restrictions and could eat whatever he liked without restraint.

Chen Shan, who had to control his oil and salt intake, rolled his eyes repeatedly, listening to Chen Xiao'er, thinking about pizza with fried dough sticks, what kind of wicked combination is that?

"Xiao Fei, when are you two going to make it official?"

Aunt looked at Chen Fei and Shen Fei sitting together, with one "Fei," she pointed out both of them.

"In a year or two! The current situation is still unstable, we can't spare the time for now."

Chen Fei frowned slightly. Of course, he would love to embrace his beloved, but the actual situation doesn't allow it!

Who knows when the Sagali army will attack again, and the scale of a civilization conflict is never small. Once it starts, it will drag on year after year, making it hard to break free.

Besides, going to war right after getting married is practically setting up a death flag that can't be ignored.

If he were to fall out there, wouldn't it drag Shen Fei down, can't be too selfish as a person.

"Oh, then you should hurry, the situation ahead may not be easily predictable."

Uncle intercepted the conversation, as some matters were not suitable for his wife and children to know too much about, so this topic ended there.

"I'll hurry! If Xiao Fei is willing, hmm, we can go register right now! Xiao Fei, what do you think?"

Chen Fei looked at Shen Fei beside him.

Nothing's more important than registering the marriage.

Little Shanzi's Sky Knight test training? No need to watch!

Chen Fei certainly knew the order of priority, wouldn't ignore his future wife for his little brother's test training.

"According to your schedule!"

Teacher Shen's face inevitably turned red, truly discussing marriage, her heart pounded like a startled deer.

Even holding an automatic rifle against bandits hadn't made her this nervous before.

Better now than later, Chen Fei suggested: "After watching Little Shanzi's test training, let's have our families meet. How does that sound?"

Decisive actions should be taken this way, without dragging things out.

"Okay!"

Teacher Shen naturally complied with Chen Xiao'er.

The meeting of elders signifies setting things in stone; this process will need to happen sooner or later.
