"I'm glad you chose me."

These words flowed gently from Nora's mouth, like the first ray of warm sunshine in the morning light, gentle and full of meaning.

There was no mask on her face that she usually wore to deal with the complex external environment. At this moment, Nora showed her truest self in front of Kathy. It was a pure and sincere expression of emotion that did not need to be concealed.

But Nora's words made Kaixi a little confused. What did it mean that he chose her?

Kaixi secretly felt lucky that Ah Zhui did not go with them.

Kaixi is well aware of Ah Zhui's possessiveness and desire to protect her. If she heard such words, she would probably immediately misunderstand and become jealous, making the already complicated situation even more difficult to handle.

However, Kathy still had to explain, even though she didn't quite understand Nora's train of thought.

"You probably understood it wrongly. I came here this time to ask you to take me to the unknown universe...your civilization is also acceptable."

"Well, that's natural."

But Kathy felt that she still didn't understand.

"Nora, I did not choose you in any form. At least in my personal understanding, our relationship is a partnership based on mutual help and respect."

After Nora heard this, a subtle change flashed in her eyes, but then she returned to her gentle smile.

"I understand what you mean. But for me, the word 'choose' may have a broader meaning. You chose me, which also symbolizes that you are willing to share with me, willing to understand and accept my civilization and culture."

“This trust and closeness is the greatest honor and joy for me.”

Nora was very happy. Although time was nothing to them, the fact that Kathy came to see her was also progress, wasn't it?

However, there was still a trace of doubt in Kaixi's heart.

She always felt that Nora seemed to have misunderstood her intentions and elevated a simple request for cooperation to an emotional level.

But she didn't seem to want to ask, or because of the loss of emotions, she had no interest in these things.

"Nora, please allow me to emphasize again that our cooperation is based on interests, not any form of emotional entanglement."

“I hope we can maintain clear boundaries.”

Kathy hopes Nora can understand and respect her position.

After hearing this, Noila nodded slightly, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

Inside Nora's carefully decorated battleship, Kaixi looked around and was attracted by its unique design and advanced technology.

Although it cannot be compared with the castle tower, its unique charm cannot be ignored.

However, at this moment, Kaixi's heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of melancholy, and she was unable to fully immerse herself in this novel experience.

Sitting on the comfortable sofa, Kathy chose to remain silent. She tried to sort out her thoughts, or perhaps she was avoiding the unspeakable emotional entanglement between her and Nora.

But Nora was unwilling to let this silence continue, she longed for a deeper connection with Kathy.

"The high priest has said that I am yours. During my time in the known universe, I have worked hard to learn the language and culture here, trying to better integrate into your world."

"And in the Chiwu star system, according to the traditions here, I am your fiancée."

"stop!"

There was unquestionable determination in Kaixi's voice, and her eyes instantly became cold and deep, as if she was building a solid line of defense for her heart.

She expressed her position clearly, and every word revealed her resistance and rejection of the emotional topics that were about to come in.

At this moment, Kaixi had only one thought in her mind: she didn't want to, and wasn't willing to, be involved in any emotional troubles.

She knew that her emotional world was already deeply occupied by Ah Zhui, and there was no extra space for anyone else.

Her loyalty and persistence to Ah Zhui are the emotional bond that she cannot give up and the bottom line of principles that she adheres to.

Although Nora in front of her had expectation and sincerity in her eyes, but in Kathy's eyes, she became an invisible pressure, making her feel irritated and uneasy.

Perhaps, this is just a psychological effect, but Kaixi really needs some time alone to sort out her thoughts and calm her inner turmoil.

"I have no interest in matters of the heart," Kathy emphasized again, with a hint of unquestionable indifference in her tone.

She didn't want to give Nora any chance to misunderstand, and she didn't want her to continue to indulge in those unrealistic fantasies.

"You don't have to tell me. Your stories and emotions are all unnecessary to me."

When Nora heard this, a hint of loss and confusion flashed in her eyes, but she did not give up.

"But I'm here for you," she said softly, her tone full of persistence and perseverance.

"The high priest said that you are my destination."

However, Kathy was not moved by these words.

She shook her head and responded in an almost indifferent tone: "You have your own future and your own path to follow. Don't constrain yourself because of other people's words or expectations."

"I, Kaixi, am not your destination, nor am I your emotional sustenance."

After saying this, Kaixi closed her eyes, not wanting to get entangled with Nora any more.

What she needs is a quiet space, a place where she can think and heal alone.

As for Nora and those emotional troubles, she chose to temporarily isolate them from her world.

Looking at Kathy who was unwilling to pay attention to her, Nora couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart.

She understood Kaixi's determination and indifference, and respected her choice and position.

However, the feeling of loss from being rejected inevitably surged into her heart, causing her to sigh softly, as if she wanted to release this emotion with her breath.

Nora knew that Kathy's heart was already filled with another person, and she was unwilling and unable to place her emotions on this indifferent king.

This realization made her feel a little helpless, but it also strengthened her inner belief - she would continue to protect and respect Kaixi in her own way, no matter how their relationship developed.

At this moment, a warrior in armor and mask came over from the battleship. He walked steadily, his eyes flashing with determination and loyalty to the mission. The warrior had completed all preparations as instructed before, and was now waiting for Nora's order.

"Princess, ultra-long-range Worm Gate teleportation has been activated. Do you want to proceed through the Worm Gate now?" The warrior's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable sense of authority.

His words broke the silence in the battleship and brought Nora's thoughts back to reality.

Nora retracted her gaze, refocused on the warrior Qilihar, and nodded in agreement.

"Start the shuttle and locate the Hedmira system."

"Yes, Princess." Qilihar responded, then turned and left to carry out Nora's orders.

A slight buzzing sound began to be heard inside the battleship, which was a precursor to the activation of the ultra-long-range insect gate transmission.

And Kaixi still had her eyes closed, as if she didn't care about anything around her.

After all, there won't be any danger. If Azhui comes along, Kaixi will worry about Azhui's safety.

Therefore, it is right to ask Azhu to stay in Tiancheng this time.

Kaixi didn’t know whether he would meet her this time. If he did, he would give her a good beating.

Don't bring anything up.
