“Of course.” Ji Zining took a long look at Tang Muxin and asked, “What’s going on between you and this punk?”
Hong Dali quickly interjected before Tang Muxin could speak. “She’s my fiancée, heh, sister Zining, I haven’t had the chance to tell you about this yet…” His actions betrayed his words as he sheltered Tang Muxin with his body.
After all, even though Ji Zining was on peaceful terms with everyone, she was still known as the Queen of Blades. A widowed Queen of Blades’ mood could not be easily predicted with logic, so he must ensure Tang Muxin’s safety.
“Oh? Fiancée?” Ji Zining sneered. She suddenly raised her hand and a flash of lightning ran across her fingertips. “If I kill her now, you won’t have a fiancée anymore. That way, our Xiao Yi will be your only wife! Haha, haha!”
She actually started her attack!
As the Queen of Blades, Ji Zining’s moves were definitely nothing to be trifled with. In the blink of an eye, her palms engulfed by lightning had reached the chest of Tang Muxin.
“What the heck! You’re fighting for real!” Hong Dali was taken by surprise. He had no time to react and stood directly in front of Tang Muxin, shielding her with his body.
Bam!
Hong Dali’s whole body left the ground and flew straight into Tang Muxin, which caused the two of them to fall down and roll together. Luckily Hong Dali was skilled enough to ensure that nobody was injured except getting a face full of dust. Tang Muxin’s body was soft and flexible, her chest especially; women were really made out of water…
“Protect the Young Master and Young Madam!” After they witnessed the fight break loose, the lackeys did not overthink things before they ran in front of Hong Dali and Tang Muxin.
“This faith and loyalty are quite rare!” Ji Zining did not pursue further after she landed a hit. Instead, she appeared satisfied with Hong Dali’s performance. “I guess Xiao Yi will not have to worry about getting bullied since she’s with you.”
Damn it. Could you give a warning before you make your move the next time? We would be in deep trouble if I was late by even a second just now, you know that right?
Of course, Hong Dali knew that even the trouble they faced now was no laughing matter as well.
“Daddy!” Little Bai Hechou could not stay inside the Thunder Angel anymore after witnessing Hong Dali’s beat down.
He was already very close to Hong Dali. Nobody expected Ji Zining’s sudden move. While they were frozen and stunned, little Bai Hechou managed to fly out of the Thunder Angel and went straight for Ji Zining. “You dare hit my father! You baddie!”
Sh*t!
That was supposed to be our ace in the hole, you little rascal, who taught you to be so impulsive!
Still, you are a good son who knows how to protect his father…
Even though he was a little pissed off, Hong Dali could not bear to blame little Bai Hechou. If he were to see Hong Weiguo get beaten, he would probably be even more impulsive than little Bai Hechou!
However, things were originally pretty simple. The problem was that everyone was gathered here. Emperor Beetle was right there. It had a reaction once little Bai Hechou came out. It turned around and a ray of light emitted by its huge single horn focused directly on little Bai Hechou!
Damn it, forgot about this!
“Daddy! Daddy, I’m scared!” Little Bai Hechou was struggling inside the light beam. He did not want to leave Hong Dali. Even if the fusion with Emperor Beetle could make him stronger, he still would not want to do it!
“No!” Hong Dali was in great shock and rushed forward to grab Ji Zining. “Let my son down! You’re not allowed to touch my son!”
“Humph!”
Ji Zining created a lightning region in front of herself and slowly ascended into mid-air. As her body rose, she said, “Your son’s genes are a perfect fit for fusion with the Emperor Beetle. Once the fusion is complete, he will become the strongest Star Knight. The universe will be his for the taking! This would be a dream come true for anyone else, how dare you reject it?”
After she said this, everyone was stunned!
The strongest Star Knight! The whole universe would be his!
The most important thing was, he was Hong Dali’s son! This guy would truly have the most terrifying background once he grew up!
“What the heck, are you serious?!” Hong Dali was stunned as well. To be honest, if little Bai Hechou could really become so strong, it would be a great opportunity. However, Hong Dali thought about the bigger picture. He quickly asked, “In that case, Sister Zining, will little Bai Hechou lose his human consciousness if he merges with the Emperor Beetle? Can he still get married and have kids? Will he die?”
This was an important question. Even though little Bai Hechou was not Hong Dali’s own blood, he was still his son. It was only natural for a father to be concerned about the child’s future.
“The success rate is only thirty percent.” Ji Zining’s voice chilled Hong Dali to the bone. “However, I believe that it’s worth a shot…”
“What the heck! It’s not worth sh*t!” Why the heck would you try for a thirty percent success rate! Hong Dali cursed. “You old hag, give me my son back! My son will not risk his life for this!”
Little Bai Hechou was waving his hands mid-air as well. “Daddy! I’m scared! I don’t want to leave you!”
“Hahaha, it’s too late now!” Ji Zining laughed loudly. “Did you think that I brought so many of my people here just to chat with you? Give up now, once the Emperor Beetle’s light beam is out, nothing can be changed. Furthermore, what are you going to do even if you could give it a fight! Can you defeat the Emperor Beetle? Can you defeat my six billion clan members?!”
“You crazy b*tch!” Hong Dali pointed at Ji Zining and yelled, “I will go head-on with you!”
Everyone raised their alerts as things were about to get physical. Lucifer stepped out from the Thunder Angel. He stood together with Feng Wuhen and looked at Hong Dali. They asked, “Young Master, should we create another tornado?”
“What are you waiting for?” Hong Dali watched as little Bai Hechou moved closer towards the Emperor Beetle. He gritted his teeth and said, “Screw it, that is my son! If I can’t even protect my own son, what kind of father am I!”
Just as the words left his mouth, a rough voice came from the skies. “Wahahaha, an Emperor Beetle here! That is not an easy feat!”
Everyone raised their heads and saw a huge starship that spanned for over ten kilometers. At the bow of the starship stood a white-bearded giant in his sixties. The great Mister Gate was here!
“Pops!” White Beard Gate was here right on time. Hong Dali grabbed a transmitter and yelled, “Pops, my son, your grandson is about to be kidnapped by someone!”
“Oh?” Mister Gate looked at Emperor Beetle and laughed. “I have not heard of an Emperor Beetle for a while! The last documented appearance was over five thousand years ago, right? Little rascal, that must be your son in the sky? That’s my grandson? My grandson is going to fuse with the Emperor Beetle?”
“Yes!” Hong Dali panicked. “Pops, do you have any ideas?”
Everyone looked at White Beard Gate. In the end, White Beard Gate’s one-liner response caused everyone to breakdown. “Actually, no.”
“Damn it…” Hong Dali was so anxious his palms became filled with sweat. “Pops, there is only a thirty percent chance that the thing will undergo successful fusion with my son! If it fails, my son, your grandson will be gone!”
“It doesn’t matter.” Gate jumped down as the starship stopped moving. His giant body fell from thousands of meters in the sky. No matter how strong you were, it was likely that you would end up a smashed mess on the ground if you jumped from that altitude. However, Gate easily did a double backflip mid-air and shattered the air into pieces around him. He stepped on shattered air to land on the ground easily and gracefully.
“Emperor Beetle is one of the strongest bloodlines in the universe, I am no match for him.” Gate looked at little Bai Hechou in the air and dejectedly said, “It looks like I’m one step too late. If only I came earlier and told you all about the Emperor Beetle.”
Nothing could be done now, as nobody expected the Emperor Beetle to show up here.
“What should we do? What should we do?!” Hong Dali was overwrought and paced in circles.
Originally, a fusion between the Emperor Beetle and little Bai Hechou was a golden opportunity for little Bai Hechou. After all, the Emperor Beetle was one of the strongest things in the universe. As Ji Zining said, if little Bai Hechou fused with the Emperor Beetle, the whole universe could become his backyard to play in. The problem, however, lied within the low success rate of the fusion. Hong Dali dared not to bet on the thirty percent chance to succeed.
He was always incredibly lucky. However, what if his luck ran out this time? After all, little Bai Hechou was the focus here, not him.
Everyone’s sights focused on little Bai Hechou and worried for him.
It was not an easy task to fuse with Emperor Beetle. There was only a measly thirty percent success rate. Even if the failure rate was thirty percent, Hong Dali still would not dare to bet on it!
This was a human life. More importantly, this was his son’s life. Who could play around with that?
However, even his dad Gate said that there were no other ways around this. Hong Dali dared not to make a move. If any accidents happened and caused little Bai Hechou to die instantly, he would regret it for his whole life.
“What should I do? What should I do?” Hong Dali clenched his fists. “Please succeed! Please succeed! May the Heavens protect him and give us a miracle!”
At this precise moment, a mutation occurred!
In the sky, little Bai Hechou was already engulfed in bone armor. However, the bone armor suddenly started peeling!
“Oh no!” Ji Zining turned serious this time. “The gene fusion was going well. However, the little rascal’s mental fortitude is too weak, there is no way to continue the fusion. If we keep going, he will surely die!”
What the heck! It really failed!
“Son!” Hong Dali yelled at the top of his lungs. “Try your best! Try to approach it. If things stay this way, you will die!”
“Daddy!” Little Bai Hechou yelled, “It’s so terrifying, I’m scared! I don’t want to fuse with him, no! Daddy! I don’t want to leave you!
