Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 345 The Feeling of Going Home

Yu Mingche suddenly received a warning from the intelligent program, and his infatuated expression, which had been stirred up by Ning Xuan, instantly sobered him up.

"Xuanxuan, something's up, I need to handle it." Yu Mingche hurriedly got up, straightened his clothes, and turned on the small screen on his wristwatch that was connected to the holographic projection panel in the main control room.

They quickly switched to manual control and notified Feng Linran and others to take over the starship's defense and attack systems.

Ning Xuan watched as Yu Mingche swiftly executed his actions, instantly defeating the intruding program. The intelligent system then performed a rapid self-check, promptly fixing some minor vulnerabilities.

Yu Mingche looked at the intelligent system that had returned to normal. Without entering Sa108, he re-entered a set of data coordinates, and the starship's intelligent system began to replan the route.

After Yu Mingche adjusted the route several times, Ning Xuan and the others finally returned to the Central Star in the early hours of the second day.

A while ago, spatial rifts appeared in many star systems, and many star systems lacked medical resources. One of them was a star system near the headquarters of the Second Legion. The commander of this star system wanted to apply to borrow Ning Xuan to provide medical assistance. Just then, Ning Xuan's substitute puppet was exposed.

Yu Mingche immediately arranged a month's leave for Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan is currently on vacation, so they can go directly back to Central Star.

The private starship Zichen slowly landed on the private helipad in front of Villa No. 17 on Qingluan Mountain. Ning Xuan looked at the familiar scenery through the porthole, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

After being away for more than half a year, she finally returned to this place that could be called "home".

"Welcome home, master." The villa's main gate opened automatically, and the smart butler 17 said in a mechanical tone.

Ning Xuan looked at the holographic projection of a phoenix inside the gate and stepped through it.

Inside the gate, Yan Fuzhen, dressed in white clothes and black trousers, led the servants and guards who worked in the villa, who lined up in two rows to greet her. Standing at the head of the servants' row was Jiuwei.

"Welcome back safely, Master of the Family." Yan Fuzhen bowed first and gave a speech. The servants and guards standing on both sides congratulated him in unison, "Welcome back safely, Master of the Family."

Whether it was Yan Fuzhen and Jiuwei, or the other servants and guards, everyone's face was filled with smiles. This genuine and enthusiastic emotion is the easiest to touch people's hearts.

Ning Xuan could sense that these people were happy about her return.

The servants and guards working in the villa were naturally delighted with Ning Xuan's return. After all, Ning Xuan was a very easy-to-serve and generous mistress. When Ning Xuan was in the villa, they could always feel the gentle and soothing spiritual power of the female spirit controller. Ning Xuan would also often reward the servants or guards with the potions she concocted.

Yu Mingche, Yun Han, and Lin Mo stood behind Ning Xuan, while Feng Linran led another group of people to stand behind Yu Mingche.

"Butler Yan, thank you for your trouble." Ning Xuan was somewhat touched by this welcoming ceremony; this was what they called a sense of ritual.

"You flatter me, Master. Everyone has been looking forward to your return." Yan Fuzhen stepped aside, bowed slightly, and gestured for her to come in. Ning Xuan stepped through the gate, and the familiar courtyard and layout put her at ease. She first went back to her own courtyard, took a shower, and changed into comfortable loungewear—a soft light blue knit sweater and casual pants. After changing, she went to the living room outside.

A holographic projector in the center of the living room is playing a soothing interstellar landscape. On the coffee table next to the sofa is a plate of fresh fruit arranged in the shape of a heart, all of which are her favorite varieties.

These fruits were clearly prepared by Nine-Tailed Fox. Ning Xuan looked around for the half-orc boy, "Where is Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"Young Master Nine-Tailed is in the kitchen, Master. He's preparing a welcome feast for you," Yan Fuzhen replied as he served hot tea and snacks.

"These pastries are the latest creation of Young Master Nine-Tailed, and they were just baked this morning. Please try them." During the time Ning Xuan was hiding her whereabouts and going out alone, Yan Fuzhen could hardly eat or sleep. Now that Ning Xuan has returned safely, his joy is beyond words.

About half an hour later, Yan Fuzhen invited Ning Xuan to move to the restaurant for a meal.

As soon as Ning Xuan reached the restaurant entrance, she smelled the aroma of roasted meat. It seemed that Nine-Tailed Fox's cooking skills had improved again. The tempting aroma made Ning Xuan's mouth water involuntarily. She had been away from home for half a year. How long had it been since she had tasted this familiar flavor?

Upon arriving at the restaurant, the table was already laden with exquisite dishes: tempting roasted meats sizzling over flames, colorful seafood porridge simmered over a low flame, and delicately shaped specialty pastries—their appearance alone was enough to make one's mouth water.

Yun Han and Lin Mo helped Ning Xuan set out the plates and bowls, while Lin Mo pulled out a chair for her. Yu Mingche walked over with a crystal wine bottle filled with blue wine. "Nine-Tail said this is a sparkling wine made for you with blue crystal juice. Please enjoy it."

Yu Mingche poured the sparkling wine into a small crystal glass and handed it to Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan took the cup, sipped it, and found the taste to be mellow, with a sweetness and a slight tartness that bloomed on her tongue, leaving a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. Surprisingly, the taste was quite good.

Just then, Nine-Tailed Fox walked in carrying the last dish: a large, steaming plate of star beast meat roasted with special spices, surrounded by glowing little mushrooms, emitting a wonderful aroma.

"Thank you for your hard work, Nine-Tailed Fox. Everyone, please sit down and eat together," Ning Xuan said.

At first, Yan Fuzhen and Feng Linran refused to sit down. However, with Ning Xuan's insistence, Yan Fuzhen eventually sat in the seat of the host, making it convenient for him to get up and serve tea and water at any time. Feng Linran sat next to Yan Fuzhen to assist him.

Ning Xuan was seated on either side of Yun Han and Yu Mingche, with Lin Mo and Jiuwei further out. Everyone was silently watching Ning Xuan's preferences, and every change in her eyes and every expression and movement was captured by the others so that they could provide the most thoughtful service.

Ning Xuan felt incredibly comfortable during the meal. When she was in the army, except for the recruitment ship and the three-month training period, she was always taken care of. However, the care she received was completely different from what she was experiencing now.

Is this what it feels like to come home?
Ning Xuan returned to the courtyard, sat under the Soul-Nourishing Tree that was only as thick as a little finger, and summoned her second awakened companion spirit.

Ning Xuan looked at the little dragon coiled in her palm, hesitating whether or not to go to the information center to check the information on the second type of companion spirit.

Ning Xuan wanted to know what level this little dragon was.
