The morning sunlight instantly coated Tangsun Lake with a golden film. As the gentle lake breeze swept across, the water surface shimmered and sparkled with golden light, resembling countless young men and women waving flags in celebration of a hero's return.
At this moment, less than a thousand meters from the lakeside, a wooden boat floated lazily. The boat was constructed simply, lacking even a canopy, allowing the morning light to spill freely inside. At the bow sat a young man, not yet twenty years old, holding a traditional fishing rod. His eyes were fixed intently on the water's surface, as if something wonderful awaited him there.
After a moment, the bobber floating on the water trembled slightly. A glimmer of excitement flashed in the young man's eyes. Suddenly, he raised his arm and pulled up the fishing rod.
A fish, flipping its white belly in mid-air, leaped out of the water. The golden light refracted through the splashes it created, forming a small rainbow.
This half-meter-long fish struggled fiercely but could not return to the lake. The young man gave a gentle shake of his arm, and the fish landed in his hands. He quickly removed it from the hook and tossed it into a nearby bucket.
Looking at the bucket, a smile spread across his face as he said, "Not bad today; I've caught three cod in less than two hours!"
Just then, a clear voice rang out from the shore, melodious like tinkling spring water: "Brother Yu, are you done? Ling'er is hungry."
The young man was Ye Yu, who had been recuperating for over two months. He lifted his head, his smile widening as he waved back. "I'll be right there!"
Then something miraculous happened: the seemingly powerless wooden boat sped toward the shore at an astonishing pace. In less than a minute, it covered approximately one kilometer and reached the bank.
"Brother Yu, your Mental Power is so strong!" Although Long Ling'er already knew that Ye Yu could use his Mental Power to control the boat's movement, she still looked at him with admiration.
Ye Yu smiled. Over these past few months without practicing martial arts, he had focused on enhancing his Mental Power. Although he hadn't broken through to a new level, his control over details had become more refined. Just now, using the buoyancy of the water to maneuver the boat was a result of his many days of experimentation. With his current Psychic Power strength, he couldn't propel such a large object as that wooden boat directly but could manage it with buoyancy.
Recently, Ye Yu had become enamored with fishing; every morning after practicing martial arts, he would use his powers to go fishing. However, he could only control the boat for about one thousand meters before his Psychic Power began to wane. He needed to rest for a while before he could continue using it to navigate the boat again.
"Today is much better than yesterday!" Ye Yu said, affectionately ruffling Long Ling'er's hair. In the past few months, he had not taken on any combat missions, and the two of them had spent almost all their time together, deepening their bond.
Hearing Ye Yu's words, Long Ling'er's starry eyes immediately misted over. She hugged Ye Yu and said, "Brother Yu is going to study at the Federation Homeworld soon. Ling'er wants to spend more time with you."
Ye Yu was taken aback. The days he had spent recently were the most peaceful he had experienced since that incident, and he had even forgotten that several months had passed.
"The opening date for the Federal First Military Academy is January 18th each year on the Federation Calendar. With only a week left until the New Year, I will be heading to the Federation Homeworld right after!" Ye Yu patted Long Ling'er's shoulder, feeling a deep sense of reluctance.
Ye Yu used to live on the Federation Homeworld, a planet with distinct seasons. By this time of year in previous years, heavy snow would have already begun to fall, blanketing the entire planet in white. However, Silver Dragon Star was a place with relatively high temperatures year-round; at this time, it felt like early summer in the Federation.
"My application to the Federation Cultural Academy was rejected," Long Ling'er said, linking her arm with Ye Yu's, her expression turning somber.
Ye Yu let out a gentle sigh and instinctively asked, "Why?"
"For safety reasons!" Long Ling'er paused for a moment. Although she appeared carefree, she understood well what those safety reasons entailed; they were specifically aimed at Silver Dragon Star and the Dragon Family.
"I..."
As the morning light filtered through, Long Ling'er basked in its glow. The golden rays seemed like the most beautiful brushstrokes, painting a stunning portrait of beauty that captivated the heart and made one reluctant to wake from such a dream. Ye Yu looked at the enchanting figure beside him, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. He didn't know where to begin; he was facing the rules of society, and this game was one he still couldn't afford to play.
"How is your injury?" Long Ling'er was very considerate and quickly shifted the topic. She knew about the healing potion that Long Yin Yue had given Ye Yu and understood its significance.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Yu's lips as he wrapped his arm around Long Ling'er's slender waist and said, "The potion Mr. Long gave me worked; all those uncontrollable powers have disappeared."
"Disappeared? Does that mean your current physical skills are completely..." Long Ling'er had not asked before, but she had secretly inquired about Ye Yu's situation from Jin Shan and learned that things were not looking good for him, with no solutions in sight for the time being.
"Yes, my physical strength has returned to that of an ordinary person. Fortunately, I no longer have that uncontrollable power within me, which resolves one hidden danger," Ye Yu replied, feeling satisfied. The last time he had recklessly tapped into his energy, it nearly cost him his life; clearly, that uncontrollable energy had been a ticking time bomb.
Long Ling'er bit her lip, remaining silent. Her face was clouded with worry, and the atmosphere grew heavy for a moment.
"Two friends, it seems you've made some good progress. Our breakfast is secured," Jin Shan's voice suddenly chimed in as both of them were at a loss for what to order.
"Brother Jin Shan..." Long Ling'er sweetly called out to him, though the trace of worry on her delicate face remained.
Ye Yu lifted the bucket of water he was holding and said, "Three codfish; we can use the tenderest meat from the belly to make a dish!"
"Alright... with three fish, let's also get a spicy fish head dish. The remaining fish meat can be steamed; wasting food is a crime," Jin Shan declared as he took the bucket from Ye Yu's hands and dove into the kitchen. In his words, he wanted to experience the Carbon-Based Life's obsession with culinary arts.
Of course, Ye Yu and Long Ling'er did not remain idle either. Since cooking was an art form, they were both eager to give it a try. In just a short while, delightful aromas wafted from Ye Yu's two-story home, making one's mouth water in anticipation.
