My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 692 - 233 True Iron-eating Beast_2

Even if this matter might be revealed years later, it shouldn’t be leaked by them, causing Du Xixi to be hurt unexpectedly by All-Star.

A soul from Blue Star, how incredible, Ke Lian could almost imagine some people’s ugly faces. What would they do to Du Xixi? It certainly wouldn’t be anything good.

Chen Yin and Du Xixi were stunned. Their communication had long been without concealment, so they didn’t notice that something shouldn’t have been said was spoken. The two nervously recalled the recent few conversations. Though somewhat misleading, fortunately, they did not directly reveal Du Xixi’s true identity.

While Chen Yin agreed with Ke Lian’s words, he also mentally reviewed the explanations he had long prepared. As long as everything wasn’t explicitly revealed, there’s still room for maneuvering. As long as they keep their mouths shut, no matter how much others speculate, it cannot become "fact."

This little episode quickly passed. Through a small video call, the two worlds informed each other of many things, discussing the novelties of this world on one side, and some major and minor events happening in the interstellar on the other.

By seven o’clock in the evening, the temperature had already dropped, causing Du Xixi to quietly wrap herself in a blanket, when the signal communicator suddenly beeped. The red flash disappeared, and the signals between the two worlds were cut off.

No one knew when the next connection would occur. Everyone thought forlornly, as Du Xixi turned off the Light Computer, not wanting to waste more power, while smiling and comforting: "Perhaps, we don’t need to wait for the next signal. In a few days, we might just return home and chat with them directly!"

Today was already the fourth day, soon it would be the fifth day, the sixth day... until the tenth day, the temporary passage would reopen, and the battle-type spaceship carefully placed inside 2569 could once again play its role.

By then, the QO-0516 spaceship that came with only Du Xixi and 2569 will board more than a dozen officers and return to the homeland that everyone longs for day and night.

Chen Yin, even as Your Majesty, had requested some samples of Mammoths, so Ke Lian and the others naturally couldn’t refuse. Fortunately, they’ve been idle these days, and everyone is willing to risk danger to test if their skills have deteriorated—in this world, their bodies are particularly heavy, and everyone worked hard every day to train, unsure if it had any effect.

Everyone set out at dawn on the fifth day to search for Mammoths, Du Xixi went along too. Though she wouldn’t take action herself, merely observing quietly from a distance, but for her safety, 2569 also accompanied them.

The combat power of the 2569 Robot was not diminished by this world. When danger approached, 2569 could fully protect Du Xixi.

There were quite a few Mammoths in this world, but in Ke Lian’s area, few appeared. Therefore, Ke Lian and the others discussed and decided to take more risks, heading to the boundary of the safe zone.

Here, the chances of finding Mammoths might be higher.

The area appeared significantly more dangerous, with various footprints constantly appearing. Du Xixi followed behind cautiously, suddenly feeling some movement from her side. She hurriedly turned her body to make a wary move, and 2569 quickly stood in front of her to shield her.

The sound was somewhat like rustling vegetation, growing louder, and Ke Lian and the others noticed it too, quickly rushing to Du Xixi’s side, enclosing her securely in the center.

"There are footsteps, assumed to be large creatures, two of them!" One officer, with remarkably attuned hearing known as "Spiritual Ears," was talented in reconnaissance, capable of using his ears on the battlefield to discern the types and numbers of approaching Insect Clan, earning a nickname.

Now, "Spiritual Ears" proved useful again.

Everyone’s hearts leaped, regardless of the creatures coming, listening to the commotion indicated they were not easy to deal with. Their abilities were suppressed, and it took a combined effort to take down one Mammoth before. If two creatures came this time and were Mammoths, or even larger and stronger than Mammoths...

Ke Lian turned his head, wanting to ask Du Xixi and 2569 to return to the cave first, since at least the cave was their repeatedly calculated safest place. But Du Xixi had already drawn a long, slender military knife from the sheath at her side, holding it in her left hand, while her right firmly gripped a huge cleaver.
