Elsewhere, Yin Tianzong and the others on Glorious Planet.
Frankly speaking, Glorious Planet was very large. It had a diameter of more than 20,000 kilometers. Putting just a few hundred to a thousand or so people on a planet this huge was like putting a handful of fish into the ocean, inconsequential.
But the problem was that Yin Tianzong was there to look at the scenery and take a vacation while Li Tianxing and the people he brought were pillaging the planet for valuables. In the few days they were there, the people with Li Tianxing almost turned the whole planet over. They did not find any treasure, but they did find Yin Tianzong and the others…
“You’re here?” When he alighted from the spacecraft and saw Yin Tianzong, Jiang Qianxue, Feng Wuhen, and the others, Li Tianxing immediately said, amused, “Haha, the last I saw you, you wanted to kill me. I did not expect that you all would have run off too. Haha, interesting.”
“Humph.” Once Jiang Qianxue saw Li Tianxing, she got so angry she wished she could kill him with one thrust of her sword. However, thinking of the bigger picture, Jiang Qianxue suppressed the urge to hit him—most importantly, she had not had the chance to start practicing the skills that Elder Tianji left behind. Otherwise, she should have attacked him without hesitation.
Jiang Qianxue may have held her hand, but Feng Wuhen had no such qualms. “Hehe, the pot calling the kettle black. You were the first to run away. You did not even have the courage to fight. No matter what, you have totally disgraced yourself. If we report this to the Elders, you know the consequences.”
“You really intend to report me to the Elders?” When he heard that, Li Tianxing went pale…
If the Elders were told about his desertion while battling the Zerg, as well as his leaving Galaxy Aristocrats behind in a dangerous situation, he would be in big trouble. Even if he did not get executed, they would probably make him face a wall while pondering his misdeeds for ten years.
“Rubbish, if it were not because we got lucky and little brother Dali stalled for time, we would be dead for sure!” Feng Wuhen humphed and said, “We have to settle the score with you no matter what!”
This was the story they had decided on after being here for so long.
They went to Earth, met the Zergs, and fought. In the end, there were simply too many Zergs. Left without a choice, Hong Dali took Granzon and led the Zergs away with the rest of the fighting force, leaving the four Second-Order Stellar Space Carriers to self destruct so they could escape. They had no idea how Hong Dali was doing now.
This was a perfect cover-up for Hong Dali’s merger with the Golden Emperor Beetle. As to whether the Elders would send a fleet to Earth—Earth had already been eaten up, it was too late to send a fleet now anyway.
“Oh? Settle scores with me?” Without the Zergs’ threat, Li Tianxing was once again the arrogant number one genius from Beta Star. He squinted at Feng Wuhen and said disdainfully, “You have not won against me since we were sixteen. Do you think that will be any different today? Hehe, I will definitely fight you if you want to fight!”
Frankly speaking, Li Tianxing really wished Feng Wuhen would start a fight.
Previously, he had disgraced himself by running away. Now, he thought he could regain some confidence with this fight.
As long as he won against Feng Wuhen, he was still the number one genius in the family!
“Brother Wuhen is no longer the Brother Wuhen from before.” Jiang Qianxue smiled inwardly and exchange a pointed look with Yin Tianzong before boarding the spacecraft with him, both of them anticipating a good show.
After all, it was a fight between energy users, and the magnitude of their attack would not allow for them to watch the fight on the field.
“Hahaha, that’s great.” Li Tianxing laughed loudly. “I can loosen my joints a little today!”
“Perfect!” Feng Wuhen was excited. His lips were curled slightly in a knowing smile—of course, Li Tianxing would not understand why…
On the spacecraft.
Yin Tianzong laughed. “Hahaha, Dali gave Wuhen a set of superb equipment. Together with the energy gem which increases energy by 50%, Li Tianxing is going to eat dirt this time!”
“Hehe.” Jiang Qianxue wrinkled her cute little nose. The usually calm and collected her was really angry with Li Tianxing. “This time, we shall teach him a lesson. When Dali comes out, we’ll toy with him slowly!”
…
Below the spacecraft.
The fight between the two started quickly and ended just as quickly.
By this time, the ground was covered in sharp ice spikes and the strong winds were roaring. Li Tianxing had been swept into the air by a hurricane. “Impossible! Impossible! I should be able to freeze your wind! Why are you so much stronger today? This is not possible!”
“Hehe. Why is it not possible?” Feng Wuhen laughed loudly. “Isn’t there a saying that says ‘every dog has its day’? Hahaha!”
“This is not possible!” Li Tianxing had always been the recognized number one genius among the younger generation on Beta Star. He actually did put in a lot of effort into his martial arts training. There was no way he could have expected that Feng Wuhen, who had always lost to him, could have defeated him so easily!
This was not logical!
“How, how did this happen?!” Li Tianxing was really dumbfounded. However, he was a clever man and quickly figured it out. “It’s an energy gem! Hong Dali gave you an energy gem, right?!”
“Eh, you figure things out quite fast.” Feng Wuhen smiled and nodded. “That’s right, Dali gave me one. It’s a pity, he wanted to give you one too, but you were too proud. Too bad, now it’s too late!”
Feng Wuhen’s words were like thorns in Li Tianxing’s heart.
At that time, Hong Dali did indeed say that if Li Tianxing would help them, he would give him a lot of good items. Li Tianxing had rejected him without hesitation. Now, Li Tianxing finally understood what kind of person Hong Dali was—
Even though he was a Galaxy Aristocrat, compared to Hong Dali, he was just a beggar!
Why were energy gems that could increase energy by 50% so valuable? It was because they could increase the energy of the user by a huge amount! Not only could they increase the user’s energy by a lot, but they were also really rare!
Jealous! Li Tianxing was jealous beyond description!
He was gifted, he should be the one with all the best resources. However, it was obvious, Feng Wuhen had already overtaken him!
“Hong Dali!” Li Tianxing gritted his teeth and growled. “Just you wait and see! This is not the end of this matter!”
…
In the Golden Emperor Beetle’s beam.
Tang Muxin was playing chess with the Queen of Blades. Hong Dali was the one who taught her how to play. Ji Zining had been with the Zergs for more than three hundred years and she had not had any entertainment during that period of time. She was not as thoughtless and carefree as Hong Dali and, now that there was someone to entertain her, furthermore, it was a rather interesting game, Ji Zining was contented.
“Checkmate!” Tang Muxin moved her cannon to directly in front of Ji Zining’s king. “Central cannon!”
“Child’s play.” Ji Zining humphed. “Advisor blocks!”
“Checkmate again!” Tang Muxin chuckled quietly as she checkmated again. “I’ll move my Chariot down!”
“I’ll block again!” Ji Zining countered.
Finally, Tang Muxin cheered. “Horse moves up! It’s a stalemate!”
“I quit!” Ji Zining pounded the chessboard. “Let’s take a look at Dali. There has been no sound or movement from him for such a long time, I wonder if anything happened to him.”
“You’re cheating again!” Tang Muxin pouted daintily. “How can you bully me like that!”
“I’m just concerned about the little brat Hong Dali.” Ji Zining did not even blush. She shouted upward, “Brat! how are you?”
Just as she said that, the sound of Hong Dali laughing came from the sky. “Hahahahaha! I am finally free!”
As he spoke, they saw Hong Dali slowly descend from above. The Golden Emperor Beetle also retracted its ray. With a loud roar, it flew straight up into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Dali, you’re done?!” Hong Dali’s activity alerted everyone who had stayed on Earth to accompany him. In an instant, countless figures either flew or run to gather around him.
“Dali!” Tang Muxin was the most anxious among them. She threw herself into Hong Dali’s embrace and cried desperately, “You horrid person! Do you know you almost scared me to death, sob, sob, sob. I was so afraid I would never see you again, sob, sob, sob…”
She had been really scared. Sobbing hard, she hit Hong Dali’s shoulder. “I’ve not been able to eat properly this entire month…”
“Okay, okay, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Hong Dali grinned widely at Tang Muxin, exposing a devastating set of white teeth, and said, “You looked quite happy playing with me all these days.”
“Rubbish!” Tang Muxin opened her mouth and bit Hong Dali’s arm. She said angrily, “I pretended to be happy so as to not affect your state of mind. You ungrateful awful person! I hate you!”
“Ow, ow, ow!” Although he complained it hurt, Hong Dali did not move away. He gently stroked Tang Muxin’s hair which cascaded like a waterfall down her back and said in a soothing voice, “Okay, okay, don’t cry anymore. I’m perfectly fine now, aren’t I? Don’t be sad anymore. Look at how well and alive I am. I’m in great shape now.”
“Okay, at least you know to console me.” Tang Muxin mumbled then buried her head deep in Hong Dali’s embrace, refusing to let go no matter what.
She had been worried sick the past few days.
Hong Dali had been enveloped in the beam of the Golden Emperor Beetle. According to Ji Zining, the chances of success were very low. She had almost lost hope, but she was the one who had to be strong.
Others could panic, but not her. She was Hong Dali’s fiancée. At this crucial time, she had to temporarily take over Hong Dali’s place and be the one supporting the entire team. Otherwise, it was inevitable that the team would fall into disarray.
Now, she had done it.
Hong Dali’s team was the same team as it was. There was no change at all.
“Brat.” Ji Zining asked anxiously. “How do you feel now?”
Actually, there were a lot of other things Ji Zining wanted to ask him, but she was pulled away by Wang Daoming and little Bai Hechou—Wang Daoming whispered, “Your Majesty, I know you have many questions, but look at the two of them. Aiyaya, the night is dark and the winds are strong. It is late at night and quiet everywhere, the two of them must have matters to attend to. Let’s just wait a while. Anyway, an hour or two won’t make much of a difference, right?”
“The night is dark and the winds are strong. It is late at night and quiet everywhere?” Ji Zining looked up at the sun in the sky. “Are you sure you are not getting old and blurry-eyed?”
“People must act as the situation demands!” Wang Daoming was sweating. “Let’s not disturb the little couple…”
Ji Zining did some calculations and finally nodded in agreement. “All right, the weather is not bad today. It is a good time to copulate…”
Wang Daoming was so startled he shivered.
