Chapter 115

After arriving at the lounge, Xingyu looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows and discovered that Shen Lingjun’s command center was situated across from the Rose Star Sea. The wind swept over the boundless sea, stirring up ripples, while two or three tourists strolled along the pristine seaside path. Many small white houses were scattered across the island, with the command center being the largest building of them all. Nowadays, people preferred nature and tranquility, so most chose to live on the islands, where the presence of teleporters made traveling anywhere quite convenient. Outside the building, lemon trees and grapevines grew. Beneath the lemon trees sat several rattan chairs and a small table—a place for the command center staff to chat and drink tea. Xingyu sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, taking in the scenery. She crunched through half a bag of chocolate chip cookies and sipped a Long Island Iced Tea from the water bar. The drink was delicious, leaning toward the sweeter side; Xingyu sipped it slowly, sensing nothing amiss.
