My carefree life in space

Chapter 53 Shocks Everyone

Looking at the dense crowd in front of her, Lin Shushu was extremely surprised. Mo Ze quickly stepped in front of her, afraid that the people in front of them might bump into Lin Shushu.

Lin Shushu was still in a daze. After advancing in level yesterday, the two of them spent a leisurely day in the space. They finally managed to persuade the clingy Mo Ze to come out and see what was going on, only to be surrounded by so many people.

Perhaps sensing the wariness in Mo Ze's eyes, the people surrounding him took a few steps back, but their eagerness remained undiminished.

"You must be Mr. Mo and Miss Lin?" a surprised voice came from the crowd.

Lin Shushu peeked out from behind Mo Ze and looked toward the source of the voice, but she couldn't tell who was asking the question because everyone's face was filled with eagerness and anticipation.

Mo Ze guessed the reason; Gu Huan must have revealed something, which was why these people were blocking their way at the door. However, he wasn't angry; after all, they had done something so significant that it was impossible to keep it a secret.

Furthermore, the motivation to help them improve their cultivation came from these people, so they were more tolerant of them.

Although neither of them admitted it nor denied it, the onlookers were certain of their suspicions, and their eagerness intensified.

At that moment, another voice rang out from the crowd, "Saint! Saint!"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately seemed to receive a secret signal and joined in shouting, "Saint! Saint! Saint!" The shouts grew louder and louder.

Mo Ze was used to such situations. After all, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he had spoken in front of the entire army many times and had seen many admiring glances from the crowd.

But Lin Shushu is different. In her previous life, she was just an insignificant nobody among the masses. The only time she faced the most people was when she introduced herself to the whole class at the time of enrollment.

Therefore, Lin Shushu was somewhat at a loss in the face of such a scene, but she did not show it on her face and kept smiling.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of people nearby, who gathered around and, upon understanding what was happening, joined in shouting "Saint!"

As the crowd grew larger and larger, seemingly about to engulf the area, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance, held hands, and flew over the heads of the crowd, quickly disappearing from sight as if nothing had happened.

The moment the two took off, the crowd seemed to freeze, their eyes filled with disbelief.

As expected of a saint, he can actually fly through the air. You should know that even high-level warriors can only jump a little higher than others. To fly in the air, one must use a flying machine.

Only after the two disappeared did the crowd realize what had happened, shouting "Saint!" and chasing after the direction in which they had vanished.

However, they were destined to be disappointed. Even with the help of a flying vehicle, they might not be able to keep up with Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, let alone running on two legs.

Gu Huan, who rushed over as soon as she received the news, was equally disappointed.

He had been waiting for two days but hadn't seen Lin Shushu and Mo Ze. He had something to take care of today and originally planned to come back later, but they showed up early.

When he arrived after receiving the news, he only saw the figures of two people disappearing on the horizon.

Looking at the frenzied crowd before him, Gu Huan silently stopped. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips. He turned around, returned to his office, and piloted his flying vehicle towards the Yan family's residence.

If I'm not mistaken, the two of them have already arrived at the Yan family's residence, since it's the place they frequent most often. Plus, the Yan family's residence is located on the outskirts of the safe zone, where there's a sparse population, which conveniently allows them to avoid these fanatical people.

Gu Huan guessed correctly; after disappearing from everyone's sight, the two flew to the Yan family on their swords.

Upon seeing Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, the Yan family and Lu Cheng were overjoyed. They also learned about what the two had done, and their gazes towards them were full of eagerness and gratitude.

Besides the Yan family and Lu Cheng, Lin Shushu also spotted Wang Wan, whom she had met once before. He was the one who had mocked Yan Qing on their first day in the forest. The two groups, who had been at each other's throats back then, were now chatting and laughing, acting like good friends.

Lin Shushu didn't care about their past grievances. She came here for two reasons: first, to escape the frenzied crowd, and second, to see what progress Yan Qing and his team had made in collecting species.

After learning their purpose, Yan Qing immediately showed Lin Shushu the haul she had made over the past few days.

To Lin Shushu's surprise, there were potatoes inside, which are a good thing, as they can be used as a staple food or as a side dish.

It was only after inquiring that I learned that it was actually Wang Wan who found it.

Lin Shushu looked at Wang Wan, who seemed a little embarrassed, and gave him an approving look.

After receiving affirmation, Wang Wan smiled with relief. He had initially refrained from further conflict with the Yan brothers precisely because he recognized Mo Ze's unusual nature.

Three days ago, he learned about Lin Shushu and Mo Ze's identities, as well as Yan Qing and the others' search for new species. Remembering a crop he had once discovered, he approached Yan Qing.

The conflict between the two was not a big deal. He sincerely sought reconciliation, and there was news of a new species. Yan Qing accepted his apology, and together they dug up the crop.

Yan He had been waiting on the side for a long time without getting a chance to speak. Now that he saw Lin Shushu showing approval towards Wang Wan, he quickly came over to make his presence known.

"Sister Shushu, that yam is really a good thing. I used it to stew the meat soup of the Gugu beast, and it tasted amazing."

Seeing his expression of seeking praise, Yan Qing sighed. It was true that he was going to use it to make soup, but he had eaten it raw before making the soup.

Ever since Lin Shushu told Yan He that yams were a good thing, Yan He went home, immediately took one, washed it, peeled it, and put it in his mouth.

To be honest, the taste seemed pretty good at first, but soon Yan He's mouth and hands started to itch. No matter what she did, she couldn't stop the itch. The intense, agonizing itch didn't subside until the next day.

Seeing Yan He's conflicted expression of wanting to eat but being afraid of being tickled, Yan Qing reminded him that he could try cooking it.

Yan He's eyes lit up immediately. He washed a few yams and boiled them in water. Their soft and powdery texture won everyone over. Yan He then used this method to make a soup by cutting the yams into chunks and stewing them with the meat of the Gugu beast, which received unanimous praise.

Before Lin Shushu could speak, Yan He continued to flatter her, "Sister Shushu, I'll make you a soup with Gugu beast meat tonight, with yam added. I'm sure you'll like it."

Gu Huan, who had just caught up, had barely landed when he heard this sentence. He immediately moved closer to Yan He and asked, "What kind of soup is so delicious?" He hadn't eaten this kid's cooking for over ten days, and upon hearing this, he instantly turned into a foodie.

Seeing the expectant look in Yan He's eyes, Lin Shushu had no choice but to praise, "Sounds good, I'm in for a treat."

Having received approval, Yan He happily went to cook.
