Chapter 601 The Young Lady and the Head Maid
Meanwhile, courtyard number 5905.
Mo Chen paced back and forth in front of the teleporter, appearing somewhat anxious.
Nearly two hours have passed since Xiaoda's application to recruit the Star Fruit Plant Spirit and the Pumpkin Protective Shield Plant Spirit was approved.
But even now, Mo Chen still hasn't seen the two plant spirit warriors who were assigned to serve in Courtyard 5905.
[This is ridiculous! Why haven't my Star Fruit Plant Spirit and Pumpkin Protector Plant Spirit arrived yet?]
Could it be... that something strange has happened again with the 59th Army of the Federation?
[Strange, why did I say 'again'?]
Mo Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks, a strange sense of déjà vu shooting up his spine like an electric current.
It was as if, at some point in the past, he had also posed a profound question about the efficiency of the federal government, just as he was doing now.
Just as Mo Chen turned his gaze back to the teleporter in front of him, intending to confirm the recruitment situation with Xiao Da again...
A familiar spacetime rift appeared from the teleporter, and then a tall figure helped another petite figure out of the rift, walking out with a slight stagger.
"Ugh... Sister Amber, I'm definitely going to send a complaint letter to the Military Commission! It's supposed to be a military teleportation device, but it doesn't even have the most basic anti-dizziness protection!"
The petite figure rubbed her temples and complained unhappily.
The tall figure simply nodded slightly, a docile smile on her face saying, "You're right, I'll take care of it in a bit."
However, Mo Chen keenly sensed that a scrutinizing and wary gaze, like an invisible probe, swept over him.
The gaze came and went quickly, making Mo Chen's heart skip a beat.
The two plant spirit warriors that appeared before him were the Star Fruit Plant Spirit and the Pumpkin Protective Shield Plant Spirit, who had been assigned to serve in Courtyard 5905.
Let's start with the former, that sweet-looking, gentle and quiet blonde beauty.
She has long, smooth, lustrous light golden hair, like flowing starlight, meticulously styled.
Her fair, porcelain-like skin was so delicate it seemed to break at a touch, making the girl even more charming.
What's even more eye-catching is the sparkling star hair clip tucked into her bangs, which shimmers in the sunlight, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness.
But what truly captured Mo Chen's attention were the girl's golden eyes, which were even more dazzling and lively than the stars.
Her pupils are a unique five-pointed star shape, which is one of the most prominent, charming, and iconic racial features of the Starfruit Plant Spirits.
Beside the girl, five spheres emitting golden light floated, like loyal satellites, silently rotating along their respective trajectories around the planets they were responsible for protecting.
Upon closer inspection, they were not ordinary toy balls at all, but five high-energy floating cannons, all equipped with automatic cruise modules.
Judging from the fact that his Star Fruit plant spirit could use such expensive weapons, Mo Chen could tell that it was no ordinary person.
Then there's the latter, the tall lady with a gentle and charming temperament and an elegant demeanor, just like rosemary.
Her neat and tidy shoulder-length short hair accentuated her beautiful face, which was both heroic and gentle.
Wearing a well-tailored, crisp military uniform, her full and curvaceous figure was perfectly outlined.
The over-the-knee black stockings paired with shiny leather boots made this woman, who appeared to be a bodyguard, look even more dashing.
Just by standing there quietly, it gives people a sense of unbreakable reliability.
"Welcome to Courtyard No. 5905. I am Mo Chen, the owner of this courtyard."
Mo Chen stepped forward and greeted the two plant spirit warriors with a smile.
Mo Chen's greeting rang in her ears, and the girl, who had been chattering incessantly, instantly fell silent, suppressing her previous coquettishness and impatience.
A perfectly poised smile quickly appeared on that sweet and lovely delicate face.
She gracefully and calmly bowed slightly to Mo Chen, as if the girl who had just been complaining was merely an illusion in Mo Chen's mind.
"I have long admired your name, Lord Mo Chen."
The girl's voice was clear and melodious, carrying a hint of innate nobility.
“Mira Etherda, that’s my name. I come from the Etherda family. I am a Star Fruit plant spirit with third-tier plant spirit power, a lieutenant in the military, and a guerrilla fighter. I am honored to be recruited and become a member of Courtyard No. 5905.”
Her self-introduction was neither overly distant nor overly intimate, showcasing her aristocratic upbringing while subtly revealing her extraordinary background.
Beside the Star Fruit plant spirit named Mira, the Pumpkin Protector plant spirit whom she called "Sister Amber" remained silent throughout the young lady's self-introduction.
But her positioning is extremely particular—always slightly ahead of Mira by half a step, which is exactly the best defensive position where she can strike at any time without stealing the spotlight.
After Mira finished her self-introduction, the lady opened her lips slightly, her voice steady and clear: "Amber Paladin, a Pumpkin Protective Shield Plant Spirit with eighth-order Plant Spirit power, rank of Sergeant, position of Defender. I am employed by the Eseta family as the head maid, responsible for protecting Miss Mira's safety."
For a moment, Mo Chen felt his mind go blank.
Everything was normal until he heard the name "Aiseda," at which point Mo Chen finally realized just how important a figure had come to his courtyard.
The renowned Aethera family was known even to Mo Chen, who was far away in the war zone.
Looking at the entire modern world, the Etherda family can be considered a top-tier aristocratic family.
The young girl in front of him, who called herself Mira Etherda, was not only the only daughter of the current head of the Etherda family, but also the future leader of the massive capital group, Star Group.
His status was so noble that perhaps only the most favored crown princes of the neighboring empire could rival him.
As for Amber, who possesses eighth-order plant spirit power... didn't you see that in front of Mira, she's just a lowly head maid and guard?
No wonder Mira complained that the teleporter had no protection—the teleportation device that Princess Starlight usually used was undoubtedly a top-of-the-line single-person space jump device.
No wonder Amber looked at him with such vigilance just now—protecting such an important figure is definitely more difficult and dangerous than taking over the federal capital single-handedly.
[Where exactly did things go wrong? Why were they assigned to serve in our small courtyard?]
Despite the turmoil raging within him, Mo Chen remained outwardly calm, even managing a slight, teasing smile as he remarked, "I never imagined that the Star Fruit plant spirit I summoned would be the daughter of the Aiseda family."
He casually remarked, "To be honest, my luck is unbelievably 'good'."
So... which powerful figure from the Federation secretly sent this star to me?
