My Dad Is the Galaxy's Prince Charming

Chapter 175: Last Checkpoint

Translator: Kingbao Editor: DarkGem

With Lin Long helping them, they flew through the checkpoints. Even though they had taken twenty days to reach the first checkpoint, the next eight were all completed in less than a day.

[Total number of checkpoints completed: Nine!]

“Your Highness, we are left with one more.” Bai Yi broke into a radiant smile and waved his optical computer excitedly before turning toward Lin Long. “Thanks so much bro, this is the first time I have completed nine checkpoints.”

“Who’s your bro?” Lin Long took a step back in disgust before scoffing. “Heh, isn’t it just opening up several space portals? Is there a need to be so happy? I’m not trying to brag, but this is just transporting people within a planet. I could even open up portals to send myself to any planet I desire. So why would I care about the gratitude of bastards like you?”

“...”

Isn’t your smile a little too bright for someone who doesn’t care? Even though his words were relentless, his body sure was honest.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Throughout their journey, Bai Yi and Li Zheng couldn’t understand what Lin Long meant by bastards but they seemed to have grown accustomed to his haughty ways and obvious disdain, and weren’t the least bit offended. They laughed loudly. “There’s just one last checkpoint, bro... That boss, we’ll leave it all to you! Whether I’ll be able to get a cub or not is all in your hands now.”

“Who’s cub?” Lin Long stilled.

Just as he was about to ask, Yao Si yanked him aside, taking him away from the explanation. “Nothing, it’s nothing! Lin Long, let’s hurry to the last stop?”

Are you seeking death? How could you talk about cubs in front of a single dog for a million years? Isn’t that just rubbing salt on his wound? If he knew the coming of age test was actually a requirement for obtaining a cub, the legendary certificate to quit the singles club, there was a possibility he would turn hostile and fall out with them. Do you no longer want your expert?

Yao Si hurriedly opened the map, pointing toward a random checkpoint in an effort to divert the topic. “This! Let’s head over here next. Once we sign into the last checkpoint, our mission will be complete, and you will be free to continue with your reconstruction.”

“Really?” Lin Long shot her a suspicious gaze, but he didn’t pursue the cub topic anymore. He glanced down at the map to confirm the location. “Are you sure this is the last checkpoint? There won’t be anything else afterwards?”

“Don’t worry, it’s definitely the last point. Do you... you have any problems with it?”

“You must be joking!” He smirked. “What problems could I have? Isn’t it just opening a transportation portal? That wouldn’t be able to able to trouble me at all, and we’ll settle with this point...” With another wave, a ray of light shone, and a tiny opening appeared. But just as it was about to widen, it suddenly closed shut, disappearing. “F*ck! We really can’t enter.”

“...”

“How can that be!” Lin Long frowned and raised his hand to try again. Just like before, the space portal disappeared before it could fully form.

“What’s wrong?” Yao Si asked.

Lin Long frowned, his brows forming a tight knot. “There seems to be a force inhibiting the space ability, so there isn’t a way to open a space portal directly.” He waved open another portal to the side, and this time, it appeared successfully. “I opened a portal in the nearest possible location. I’m curious to find out what exactly do they have there.”

With a step forward, he took the lead.

“Eh? Wait a minute!” Yao Si’s heart clenched. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late. They could have just headed for another checkpoint if there was something wrong with that one. Why was there a need to travel all the way to that one?

She glanced back at Bai Yi and Li Zheng before sighing. They could only follow along with their teeth clenched. The moment they entered the portal, hey were transported from a dense forest to a huge deserted land.

The horizon was extremely vast, but there wasn’t anything other than an endless stretch of deserted land.

“The checkpoint is still nine hundred kilometers away.” Bai Yi pointed ahead after glancing at the map.

“What are you waiting for, let’s go!” Lin Long turned to head forward, determined to find out what was ahead of them.

“Wait a minute.” Yao Si acted swiftly this time and grabbed hold of him. She pulled out the flying devices she had picked up when Lin Long had appeared from the space portal. “These flying devices still have some power, so we should use them.” There was still 900 km to go, so was he really planning on walking all that way?

Lin Long glanced at the damaged flying devices scornfully. “Heh, only you bastards would use such outdated devices that travel at a few thousand meters per second.”

“...” F*ck, don’t take it if you don’t like it!

Yao Si told Bai Yi and Li Zheng to board the flying devices, and they started toward the checkpoint. They passed through the deserted surroundings where even the horizon couldn’t be seen.

The flying devices moved quickly, and in less than five minutes, they are arrived at their destination.

“You guys better be careful, since there should be something with at least a level S ability for it to block my space portal. No, it should be even higher than that!” Lin Long declared firmly.

The three of them inhaled sharply, their hearts fluttering as they grew extra cautious toward the location...

But there was nothing!

-_-|||

The deserted land only gave way to another stretch of nothing with only a lonely checkpoint floating in the middle.

“...” Yao Si.

“...” Bai Yi.

“...” Lin Long.

Yao Si could vaguely hear someone’s heart tumbling to the ground.

“This-this can’t be!” Ergou was full of disbelief. “That protective barrier must have hidden itself.”

“Sure, sure, sure, take your time and find it while I’ll get the last checkpoint signed,” Yao Si told him on her way toward the checkpoint . After two steps, she lifted her head, but Bai Yi and the other two were still in front of her. “Eh, you guys came here so quickly?” she murmured unconsciously, without much thought. Since Bai Yi had been single for such a long time, his anxiety was understandable.

The three of them glanced at her in shock.

“What’s wrong?” Why were they looking at her like that?

“Yo-your Highness!” Bai Yi’s eyes went wide as he looked at her with shock. He turned back toward the checkpoint machine. “This... this...”

“What’s wrong?” Yao Si could not understand what was happening. “If you’re in a rush, you could get it signed first! You are both here anyway.”

“That’s not it!” Bai yi replied. “We didn’t go over, but it’s you who appeared behind us!”

Huh?

What did that mean?

“There is indeed a problem here!” Lin Long frowned, then took a step forward. After less than two steps, his figure started to waver, and he suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes. The next second, a familiar voice came from behind them. “That explains why my space portal wasn’t able to open up.”

Yao Si took a glance ahead before turning around toward Lin Long who was behind her before gaining enlightenment. The same thing had happened to her; once she had reached the checkpoint, she had been transported away.

(⊙_⊙)

Was that a revolving space portal?
