Chapter 225: Chapter 150: For the Federation, I Don’t Mind Being the First to Rise Up

Qin Shiwei followed Shu Yao aboard the Big Bee Flying Machine.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted to his nose. It was like citrus—sweet and refreshing without being cloying. It wasn’t an artificial air freshener, but it lingered in every corner of the cabin.

The man couldn’t help but comment, "It doesn’t look like it just went through major trauma."

Shu Yao started to boast, "Well, I did put a lot of effort into repairing and modifying it."

"Just from that day?" Qin Shiwei’s admiring gaze softened as he looked at her with deep affection. "No wonder you were off your game that night."

As he spoke, he raised a hand and poked her lower back.

It was just the two of them in the cabin, anyway; there was no one else to see.

Shu Yao shot him a playful glare before turning to the operating system.

"Hey, Mibao~"

Qin Shiwei raised an eyebrow slightly.

’Who’s Mibao?’

’Could there really be a third person in the cabin?’

The next second, Shu Yao’s voice was recognized and authenticated, and a cute, innocent, childlike female voice chirped cheerfully:

"Master, I’m here~"

Qin Shiwei was pleasantly surprised. "A secondary system?"

Shu Yao nodded.

"Mibao is an independent system, but it coexists with the main system on the same host console. The main system is connected to the traffic police network, so I was worried Mibao would be discovered. That’s why I don’t usually call on it. It only activates automatically in an emergency, taking over from the main system to gain full control of the Flying Machine."

Seeing the thoughtful look on Qin Shiwei’s face, Shu Yao asked a little nervously:

"What’s wrong? Was what I did too out of line?"

"No." A slight smile touched Qin Shiwei’s lips. "I was just suddenly reminded of something from the past."

Once, a genius, before their fall, had proposed the astonishing idea of attempting a dual-system control for Mechas.

It was even tested on the battlefield.

But it ended in failure. And it cost the Federation Army a heavy price...

Shu Yao pulled up a structural model of the entire Flying Machine from Mibao’s system.

Externally, the Flying Machine looked no different than it had before the modifications and the damage. But the internal structure had changed dramatically.

One part of the internal structure wasn’t a component that supported the Flying Machine at all. It was a set of runes imbued with a mysterious power, attached to the inner walls of the hull.

When he saw the field of runes displayed in the model, Qin Shiwei’s dark green eyes suddenly lit up, and an inexplicable sense of security washed over him.

He couldn’t help but reach out and zoom in on the entire tail section.

Magnified, it was even clearer, and he could feel an ancient and mysterious power emanating from it.

The field of runes, the likes of which he had never seen, was breathtaking.

’So this is the masterpiece my wife didn’t want anyone to discover!’

"You actually applied mysterious science to technology!" Qin Shiwei’s gaze grew fervent. "Yaoyao, you’re an absolute genius!"

"To be precise, it’s the Xuan arts," Shu Yao said, looking pleased. "I’ve read up on the history of the Interstellar Federation’s founding. It seems the ancients proposed this theory a long time ago. The birth of the Federation seems to be inextricably linked to the Xuan arts as well."

"That’s right." Qin Shiwei was visibly moved. "That was all more than three thousand years ago."

"Later, as the Xuan Sect declined and advanced technology became ubiquitous in everyday life, no one paid much attention to the Xuan arts anymore."

"It’s not that no one paid attention." Qin Shiwei’s gaze was burning. "It’s that no one could do it! Today, in the field of mysterious science, Professor Shu is the foremost expert!"

Shu Yao tilted her head. "My second uncle?"

"Yes." Qin Shiwei cupped her cheek, his slightly rough thumb caressing the corner of her lips. A searing look of love passed over her delicate nose and plunged into the dark pools of her eyes. "You... are even more talented than Professor Shu. I remember now, when we first met, I could always hear you carving something. You were carving these mysterious symbols, weren’t you?"

"It takes a lot of energy and a lot of tools to make these things. You can’t let your focus slip for a second. The slightest mistake, and all your previous work is for nothing." Shu Yao sounded a little weary. Then, her face brightened. "Good thing I’ve got it down to a science."

"My wife, you’re incredible."

Shu Yao giggled and moved in close, pressing her body against his and pushing him back into one of the cabin’s safety seats.

Qin Shiwei fell into the seat, his height instantly reduced, and his line of sight was forced down to a place it shouldn’t dare venture.

He could lean forward and, with his lips and teeth, taste the prize he had long craved. The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently, his mouth grew increasingly dry, and all the blood in his body seemed to rush to one particular place.

In that moment, a single, seductive thought filled his dazed mind.

Shu Yao trapped him in the chair. Placing one knee between his legs, she slowly lowered her soft, fragrant body.
