Ji Zining was not wrong. There was an obvious disparity in their might, and if they really started fighting, no one knew what the outcome would be.
“No problem.” Hong Dali agreed immediately. “However, I have a condition. My little Bai Hechou cannot come down! If you do not agree to this, there will be no negotiation!”
Little Bai Hechou was the last bargaining chip in this negotiation. They had to make sure nothing happened to him.
“That’s fine.” Ji Zining nodded. “No problem. I agree to your condition.”
As long as she agreed to this, that was fine.
And soon, everyone was seated in a circle in the desert.
It was a strange scene.
A fifty-thousand-meter-long Emperor Beetle was coiled on the ground protecting the people within its coils from winds and sand. More than eight hundred Zerg Knights stood guard around the perimeter. Hong Dali and the others sat in a circle with the Queen of Blades. Zhang Yi was holding onto Ji Zining’s arm—if the reporters got wind of this, this would probably be their headline: Epochal meeting—Humans and Zerg meet for peaceful talks about the basic outline of future developments in the Milky Way…
Everything suddenly sounds so much more sophisticated, right?!
“Sister Zining,” Hong Dali sniffled, then asked, smiling, “since everyone is calm and seated, shouldn’t you tell us why you have come to Earth? What is going on? How come I can’t figure it out?”
There were obviously numerous motives for Zining’s visit to Earth this time, but no one could figure out what exactly was going on. More importantly, there were a lot of key points that were unclear.
Most importantly, it was obvious that her purpose for coming to Earth was little Bai Hechou and Zhang Yi. But now, it seemed that there were some parts which were really strange. For example, Hong Dali could not figure out why she had come with so many Zergs—she could have just come by herself, they could have discussed everything peacefully…
“Hehe, I have come because there are a few things that need to be dealt with.” Ji Zining said slowly, “Firstly, the inducement to become King Zerg has appeared here, that is, those amazing gems which increase health. It’s not that they don’t exist in other parts of the universe, but they are extremely rare. These gems are needed to stabilize the gene sequence during the evolution to King Zerg. Otherwise, the body will fall apart. This is why there are so few King Zergs.”
So that was why!
Realization slowly dawned upon everyone. It seemed that they were wrong before. They had always thought that Zhang Yi and little Bai Hechou were the inducement to become King Zerg!
“The making of a King Zerg requires a large number of Zerg. The amount of inducement that appeared here this time is plentiful, so more Zergs have come. Most importantly, there is a lot of the inducement here, so there is a chance to evolve the strongest Zerg unit, the Golden Emperor Beetle! That’s what this big guy behind me is.”
Emperor Beetle! This big guy was the strongest Zerg unit, the Emperor Beetle!
Speaking of which, Hong Dali had thought all along that it was a King Zerg…
“It is very hard for Emperor Beetles to be born. It requires four King Zerg to appear at the same time. They have to fight each other until one is left and the survivor has to eat up the others, then eat the health gems to stabilize the gene sequence before they can evolve into the strongest unit, the Emperor Beetle. It’s okay for you to know all this as there’s more I need to tell you after this.”
“All right.” Hong Dali sighed. “It seems that there is quite a lot of good things on Earth… that’s why so many of you came? But there is still something I just don’t get, why did you destroy those other planets? Pluto, Neptune and Uranus are gone just like that, thanks to you…”
This was one of the very important things he had to know. Why did the Zerg destroy those three planets? Because they were tasty?
“That’s simple.” Ji Zining said, “If we didn’t do that, would the people on Earth be willing to move? If they did not move, wouldn’t there be more dead?”
Damn! After all that, the Zerg only wanted to get the people on Earth to move away? So that they could evolve? This… that…
“You’re ruthless.” Hong Dali sniffled hard. “If I had not happened to just buy a planet, wouldn’t we…”
“Even if you had not bought the planet, you would have moved anyway. The only difference is that it would have been more troublesome.” Ji Zining smiled and said, “After that, we purposely leaked the news that your son Bai Hechou was our target. As expected, you chose to stay. You know the rest. You stayed and I was able to meet with you, resulting in us having this chat while seated peacefully here. Isn’t it so?”
Alright, she obviously had superior intelligence. Every single thing that had happened so far was within her expectation.
“However, honestly speaking, what you did really surprised me.” Ji Zining spoke highly of Hong Dali and the others. “In such a disadvantaged situation, you managed to achieve so much. It’s beyond my expectations.”
“Hehe, hehe.” Hong Dali blushed a little. “So-so, so-so, haha, haha…”
At this time, Tang Muxin asked, “So, Sister Zining, the reason you are looking for little Bai Hechou is…”
“It’s because of the Emperor Beetle.” Ji Zining glanced at Thunder Angel. “The genes of little Bai Hechou are highly compatible with the Zerg gene. After he fuses with Emperor Beetle, they can evolve into the strongest knight, the Star Knight. His monolithic combat power will also increase exponentially! As for Xiao Yi…” Ji Zining looked at Zhang Yi and said softly, “My life is about to come to an end. The reason I came for her this time is to pass my position on to her. In the future, she will be the next Queen of Blades, the brain of the Zergs! All Zergs will be under her control.”
“Wait a minute.” Hong Dali rubbed his temples vigorously. “The amount of information I’m getting today is a little too much.” He thought for a while, and then said, “What you mean is that my Xiao Bai is going to fuse with this Emperor Beetle and become the strongest Star Knight, and Zhang Yi will inherit your mantle to become the Queen of Blades, right?”
“That’s right.” Ji Zining nodded. “This is not a hard decision to make, right?”
“It’s so-so.” Hong Dali looked at Zhang Yi. “Sister Zhang Yi, what do you say?”
“I…” Everyone’s eyes were on Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi was again shy. Her fingers twiddled the corners of her clothes, and she suddenly glanced secretly at Hong Dali. In a tiny voice, she asked, “Sister Zining, if I become the Queen of Blades, I… can I still… have a relationship with a human? Can I… can I still have children?”
“This…” Ji Zining was surprised by this question. Damn, who would have thought that Zhang Yi would raise this subject at a time like this? It was obvious she already had a target. She was behaving so suspiciously…
There was something fishy going on!
“I doubt it.” Ji Zining sighed and shook her head helplessly, saying, “Look at me. Do you think I can have a relationship with a human, do you think I can have children with a human?”
Yes, she may look really cool and some people would not mind, but the problem was that she could not have children. There was nothing anyone could do about that…
“In that case… in that case, I don’t want to become the Queen of Blades!” Zhang Yi was adamant. “If I cannot have children, cannot fall in love, then what is the point…”
Tang Muxin stretched out a slim little hand and gently put it on Hong Dali’s waist. Then she pinched him hard!
Damn it!
He was innocent! Was it wrong to be too outstanding?!
Zhang Yi’s words were close to Ji Zining’s heart, and Ji Zining did not know what she could do. After a long pause, she said, “Yes, what is the point… but if you cannot become the Queen of Blades, you cannot become the Zerg’s brain and the Zerg will be completely out of control. If that happened…”
She did not say anymore, but everyone knew what that meant.
Right now, the Zergs were under the control of the Queen of Blades, so everyone could sit down and talk calmly.
With the appearance of the Emperor Beetles, the consequences would be unthinkable if the Zergs went out of control!
Everyone became silent.
How should they handle this?
“Maybe, there might be a way.” Ji Zining suddenly looked at Hong Dali. “Do you like my descendant?”
Eh! What is this?!
“Well…” Hong Dali opened his eyes wide. “This is not a good time to talk about that…”
“Enough nonsense!” Ji Zining’s expression immediately turned cold, and electricity sparked on her fingertips. “Is my descendant not worthy of you?!”
Damn, why was she talking like a mother-in-law when she was not even Zhang Yi’s mother?!
“Ah, haha, haha, it’s not that.” Hong Dali hurriedly tried to diffuse the situation. “Sister Zhang Yi is so beautiful and capable, how can I not like her? It’s just that this is a little sudden and I am not prepared for it…”
“If you like her, that’s good enough!” With Hong Dali’s affirmation, Ji Zining immediately pushed Zhang Yi in front of him. “In that case, both of you have a relationship now! Remember, it must be spectacular! It must have enough posh, enough style! Be considerate and gentle! If my Zhang Yi says to go east, you are not allowed to go west, if she tells you to catch a dog, you are not allowed to grab a pheasant, do you hear me?!”
Li Yang said secretly to Ling Xiaoyi, “Sister Xiaoyi, why does that sound so familiar…”
Snigger!
Unable to contain herself, Xiaoyi laughed and said softly, “When we met Mistress the first time, that was how she lectured us…”
