### Chapter 62: Capital of Resistance
Is this okay?
Night Lan’s question struck Shiyu Qianyi straight in the heart, stunning her.
Friends… what are they again?
She remembered a little of it.
It seemed like someone who could help when needed, like an umbrella in the rain or a guiding light; helping and supporting each other.
More importantly, true friends bring genuine friendship.
The care and concern she longed for was there.
But can it really be like this?
Shiyu Qianyi thought gloomily.
This hard-earned thing… won’t she destroy it?
She didn’t want to see that kind of scene.
Shivering in fear, Shiyu Qianyi felt scared.
She was really timid.
Not even brave enough to be Night Lan’s friend.
Impossible.
She was capable of bringing destruction to emotions.
No matter how strong the bond, she could easily erase it.
Even if becoming friends, they would eventually become strangers.
That loss…
She didn’t want to experience it again.
“No…”
“Ah——! I can’t hear you! I’ll just consider it a yes!”
Night Lan covered her ears and yelled loudly as if avoiding reality.
She threw caution to the wind.
Sometimes making friends is a matter of shamelessness.
As long as your skin is thick enough, you’ll have no problem making friends.
Before, Night Lan had always been shy.
Isn’t she already a loli?!
With such good conditions, why be timid?
Farewell, my timidity.
Night Lan shook off something trivial and looked straight into Shiyu Qianyi’s bright purple eyes.
“In any case, from now on, we’re friends. Period!”
“What the—?”
Shiyu Qianyi was stunned.
She hadn’t expected this turn of events.
This thick-skinned way of communication is too advanced for an inexperienced young girl.
Didn’t she want to refuse?
Why did things turn out like this?
They became friends…
But… she felt a bit happy?
Because Shiyu Qianyi could feel Night Lan’s goodwill and care.
This was what she yearned for.
But can this truly not disappear because of her?
Night Lan calmed down, and the blush on her face gradually faded.
Indeed, more practice is needed.
Blush?! So troublesome?
If this keeps up, she might even fail to save the loli!
“In any case, let me show you some normal life. As your friend, it’s time to take you out and move around!”
Night Lan hasn’t regained her wish-granting power yet and needs a few days at least.
For now, she can only communicate with Shiyu Qianyi and change her pessimistic views.
When she heard a certain word, Shiyu Qianyi’s pupils dilated.
“I… I don’t want to go out. It will hurt others.”
“Huh? Don’t worry about that, I’ve got this.”
Although Night Lan lost her wish-granting powers, she still had other abilities.
Existence Interference could always be used.
This crucial ability concealed Shiyu Qianyi’s star eclipse pollution.
All Night Lan had to do was intervene, and such a degree of pollution would be a piece of cake.
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Hearing Night Lan had a plan, Shiyu Qianyi hesitated.
In this moment, she had a bit of trust in Night Lan.
Though their friendship was forced, she seemed to regret less about accepting reality.
Trusting your friend is the bare minimum.
“Mm-hm.”
Shiyu Qianyi nodded uncontrollably.
Night Lan grinned.
Now it was easier.
“Let’s go then, it’s guaranteed to be an awesome experience!”
Night Lan took Shiyu Qianyi’s hand and left the basement.
Li Yan watched the scene with a sense of déjà vu.
“Here we go again.”
This also meant that Shiyu Qianyi was about to receive salvation.
This was what Li Yan hoped for.
He had immense confidence in Night Lan, believing she could accomplish anything.
High-ranking individuals are invincible.
But…
If Shiyu Qianyi’s problem was resolved, Li Yan might temporarily have no one else left to help.
But he wouldn’t stop.
If nothing appears, he’d just find it.
This world works that way.
Once there are no more people needing his help, maybe Li Yan would leave contentedly.

Cut to another perspective.
Night Lan and Shiyu Qianyi went outside.
Just like with Star Sheng.
Night Lan planned to take Shiyu Qianyi shopping for some cute clothes first.
Rarely stepping out of that grim space, and venturing under the sun with a friend, one should definitely look adorable.
Even if Shiyu Qianyi herself wasn’t aware, Night Lan would make sure to act.
Who else but her would appreciate it so much?
Sprucing up the loli was one of Night Lan’s hobbies.
When hanging out at the Fish Playing House, she would even dress up together with Night Star to snuggle.

At the same time,
Patrolling Night Watchers naturally noticed Night Lan and Shiyu Qianyi.
Though Shiyu Qianyi’s information was sealed away and unknown to many, Night Lan’s identity was recognized.
After all, she was currently famous and attracting attention.
This news inevitably reached the Night Watcher Base.
The leader glanced at it and saw a girl by Night Lan’s side, just like the petite Star Sheng.
Some might even think Night Lan was going “hunting”.
The other Night Watchers didn’t know the truth behind Thoughts Drowning, but the leader understood clearly.
“Still the same old Night Lan.”
Charming and lovable, just looking at her could create fondness.
If her star eclipse pollution remained effective, she could likely influence anyone who developed even the slightest fondness for her.
But Night Lan seems to have suppressed this pollution.
Just like before with Star Sheng.
Shouldn’t I have guessed, being an Extraordinary Star?
With such power, she could probably solve most problems.
Also uncertain about resisting the Rising Sun Theater Group.
“The Rising Sun Theater Group,”
the leader of Pinghai City mused.
Knowing the Night Watcher Organization has an Extraordinary Star now greatly reduced her worries about the Rising Sun Theater Group.
An Extraordinary Star symbolizes miracles.
Night Lan proved that already.
A being so unbelievable, could she stand against the terrifying Rising Sun Theater Group?
An unexpected confidence rose in the leader toward Night Lan.
Given that she’s one of the Night Watchers.
Even if the Rising Sun Theater Group goes rogue, the Night Watcher Organization isn’t helpless.
With multiple Supernovas and superiors working together, their combined power is unimaginable.
A small group like this could potentially challenge the whole organization.
At least, if the enemy wants to disrupt order, the Night Watchers couldn’t stop them.
But that’s in the past.
Now the leader discovered Night Lan’s existence.
She’s the only Extraordinary Star among the Night Watchers, with boundless potential and destined for greatness.
Having such potential, how could anyone worry about controlling other forces?
Unnoticed by the leader, her expectations for Night Lan were even higher than she expected.
Perhaps due to wonders she previously brought about, shining like a bright beacon.
Night Lan is the light of the Night Watchers!
