“Prince!”

It giggled. “I am a prince now.”

“He is just my prince.”

“Other people don’t know yet!”

“That’s good enough.”

It thought for a moment, its synapses constantly flickering. “Come on, Peipei. As your prince, I have a gift for you.”

The mist that spread out among the shadows was even more enchanting, as if a splendid seven-colored lake was spreading out from the folds of its mind. Finally, in the middle of the lake, the most beautiful flower that Peipei had ever seen rose up.

“Wow…”

Peipei’s eyes were wide open. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether the flower was real or not. She couldn’t help but reach out to pick it. She actually felt the softness of the petals and the sharp thorns on the stem. She was slightly surprised. The flower that seemed to be condensed from starlight turned into a stream of light and drilled into the center of her eyebrows, gradually blossoming in her mind.

“Do you like it?”

It asked in anticipation, “I created it for you in my own thoughts. Now, I’ve transferred it to your memories through the ripples of your brainwaves. Every time you think of me, the flowers will bloom in your brain and turn into something different. It took me a long time to build such a ever-changing ‘Endless Flower’. Do you like it?”

“…I do.”

It was true that Peipei liked the flowers of Shanuya, but she felt uneasy.

According to the Dream Maker’s Manual and his father’s teachings, only the Dream Maker could unilaterally instill information into the minds of the Void Hunters, and the Void Hunters were not allowed to interfere with the Dream Maker’s mind.

This time, he would be scolded by his father when he returned.

He might even be nagged by the uncles, aunts, and teachers of the Dream Control Bureau for a long time.

But Shanuya didn’t know the rule. It didn’t mean to. Besides, seeing how happy it was, Peipei didn’t have the heart to tell it the truth right now. When she returned to the ‘Dream Control Bureau’, the uncles and aunties with strong mental power would certainly try to erase the ‘Endless Flowers’ in her head without leaving any traces.

At least for now, before the ‘Endless Flowers’ withered, let them bloom for a while longer!

“Peipei—”

It keenly sensed the haze in the depths of the girl’s brain and asked doubtfully, “Are you unhappy?”

“No, no!”

“Do you still want to hear a new story? The story of ‘Prince Happy’?”

“No need. I just want to know the answer as soon as possible. Why do you call me ‘Shanuya’?”

It smiled and said, “Please, little girl who is smarter than Markina, help me find out!”

…

Peipei was walking briskly on the surface of its enormous body.

Because of its size and density, it was unable to provide gravity as large and stable as that of a planet. With just a light leap, Peipei would be able to float into the air, crossing a distance of hundreds of meters before slowly landing.

When human beings settled in the Void Hunters in the beginning, they were not used to the disordered gravity and the environment that seemed to be an earthquake. Many people, if not many generations, had died.

When it came to the generation of Peipei, their slender bodies and light footsteps, together with the light body exercise that they had been practicing since birth, allowed them to perfectly adapt to the surface activities of the Void Hunters. Even when they were on the tentacles, which were twitching the most violently, they could still walk as if they were on the ground.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. Hundreds of meters away from the surface of the void hunter’s body, there was a layer of deep blue mist, which was the man-made atmosphere and the gravity stabilization field. The marvelous spiritual shield turned the surface of the void hunter’s body into a home that was suitable for human beings and protected them for countless generations. It was not until now, when human beings boasted the most advanced technology in the refinement of interstellar warships, built enormous fleets with the void hunter as the core, and moved more than 95% of the population to the starships, that the most solid shield of civilization completed the mission of history.

However, there were still a lot of people like Peipei who did not like the life on a starship. They thought that starships were too dull, cold, and boring. When they were sleeping on a starship, they could neither hear the sounds of the dozens of different kinds of energy flowing inside the bodies of the Void Hunters nor see the colorful mist rushing out of the spurts. It was truly boring.

After jumping over a wrinkle hundreds of meters long, he reached the collection area.

Countless pile drivers were driving the nerve blockers deep into Shanuya’s flesh and blood, cutting off the connection between the flesh and the brain.

Then, human beings would be able to dig out the abandoned tissues inside Shanuya’s body with the most advanced tools or even cut off a few of Shanuya’s tentacles to build their own starship.

Peipei didn’t like such a scene, but her father did have a point. For a giant such as Shanuya, collecting the flesh and wasted tissue from it was like cutting hair and fingernails for human beings. It was painless, harmless, and even necessary for metabolism.

Shanuya brought human beings through the four-dimensional space and searched for space zones and planets with abundant spiritual energy in the universe to resist the risks and crush the enormous planets.

The starships of human beings were responsible for further excavating the planetary fragments, refining the raw minerals, and sending the high-purity crystals to the absorption and digestion areas of Shanuya.

If Shannuya ate the crystals, she would be able to grow a lot of tentacles and useless abandoned tissues. Then, human beings would excavate the useless items and use them for their own training or the refinement of starships as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It would be a perfect balance of life and death.

Although he rationally agreed with this approach, emotionally, Peipei still didn’t like to see these bloody scenes. Yes, Shanuya’s perception system was different from that of human beings. Before the collection, she had also injected a lot of nerve blockers, so she wouldn’t feel any pain. But Peipei knew how to do it. Every time she saw the process of the collection of flesh and blood, her heart would ache. She didn’t know why, either.

She could only take a deep breath and accelerate through the collection area. The town made of the debris of dozens of starships was ‘New Hope City’.

It was said that, a long time ago, not long after human beings fled from Earth, the future was uncertain, and everybody was on tenterhooks. A devil named ‘Thousand Treasures Sea’ was ruling the fleet, killing all the living creatures and raising trouble.

Later, a great hero named ‘Tie Xiong’ stood up and led the survivors to defeat the devils and explore a new future.

At that time, the flagship of the fleet of human beings was named ‘New Hope’. Therefore, the survivors expanded their living space with dozens of Void Hunters. The first town they established in a natural paradise with abundant spiritual energy was named ‘New Hope City’.
