Chapter 128: Absolutely No Children
Zhao Yaohu listened to the familiar scolding voice and looked at Liu Qi, who seemed somewhat…
“Eh? Brother Liu, why do you look somewhat younger than the last time I saw you? And much more spirited!”
Liu Qi puffed out his chest, “Nonsense, if I wasn’t better, could I come to a place like this? Your brother me has fully recovered!”
“Really? That’s great! Then are you coming back? At that time, just say something to the boss, and you’ll come back…” Zhao Yaohu was extremely excited and delighted.
At this point, Liu Qi’s smile faded, “I’m not coming back, I’ve already left the legion. Do you see anyone who left the legion able to go back?”
“Moreover, I already have a better place to go!” Liu Qi patted Zhao Yaohu’s shoulder.
Zhao Yaohu’s eyes reddened again; he felt that Brother Liu was comforting him.
“………” Liu Qi didn’t want to continue explaining and looked to An’an beside him, introducing her.
“An’an, this is my good brother, Zhao Yaohu. Don’t worry, he’s one of us!”
Shi An’an nodded, looking at the very emotional Zhao Yaohu and smiling as she greeted him, “Hello, Uncle Zhao.”
“Unc… Uncle?” Zhao Yaohu looked at Shi An’an’s smile, feeling a bit embarrassed, while suspiciously looking at Brother Liu. Could this be Brother Liu’s daughter? But the age doesn’t quite match…
Liu Qi saw this guy sneaking peeks at him and knew what he was thinking. Suppressing the urge to kick him, Liu Qi said in a deep voice, “This is my friend’s child. We’re here this time for something!”
“Oh… oh oh, I know!” Zhao Yaohu stopped his guessing under Liu Qi’s gaze and grinned honestly, “Hello, An’an.”
“Come on, come on, I’ll take you there right now.” Zhao Yaohu led the two toward Edge Star.
Although he didn’t know what Brother Liu was doing bringing such a little girl to the dangerous Edge Star, he trusted Brother Liu. As long as he didn’t do anything harmful to the Federation, it was fine.
As for what matter they had coming here, Brother Liu would say it later when he wanted to.
Liu Qi didn’t explain the reason for going to Edge Star; he trusted Zhao Yaohu’s character, otherwise he wouldn’t have contacted him.
Shi An’an glanced at the two men, then looked at Uncle Liu, “Uncle Liu, once we arrive, I can go alone. You stay with Uncle Zhao and protect yourselves.”
Liu Qi frowned upon hearing this, “No, I’ll go with you. It’s too dangerous here!”
“Uncle Liu, I have the ability to protect myself!” Shi An’an looked at Liu Qi seriously.
Liu Qi fell silent, thought for a moment, then agreed.
Indeed, after spending this time together, he knew the little girl’s abilities. It was just that there were too many star beasts here!
“There are many star beasts here, and they’re unusually ferocious with strong abilities. You must be careful!” Liu Qi looked at Shi An’an seriously, “If you encounter danger, run away immediately!”
Liu Qi knew Shi An’an could fly into the air, so running away should allow her to escape with her life.
“Got it!” Shi An’an nodded obediently.
“Also, among all the current star beasts, the most dangerous is the Devouring Beast. Its greatest ability is to devour mental power. In front of it, once you use mental power, it will immediately lock onto your position…
There’s also the Void Beast. Its characteristic is teleportation; you can’t lock onto its position. Sometimes it suddenly appears behind you…
……”
It wasn’t until they arrived at the place that Liu Qi stopped. Beside him, Zhao Yaohu was extremely curious about Shi An’an’s identity. Every child learned about various star beasts in school, so Brother Liu was making a fuss over nothing by explaining in such detail all the way.
“Uncle Liu, don’t worry. I value my life; if I can’t beat them, I’ll run!” Shi An’an comforted Liu Qi while feeling very grateful in her heart.
Liu Qi’s brows remained tightly furrowed; he couldn’t relax at all.
“The position fifty kilometers ahead is the camp where the First Legion was garrisoned back then. I can’t take you too close; it’s being guarded by various legions now…”
“I understand. This place is fine.” Liu Qi nodded.
Shi An’an closed her eyes and sensed the jade pendant’s position.
Her spiritual sense spread out at the same time, searching the surroundings.
After a moment, Shi An’an finally sensed the jade pendant’s position. But… this position was somewhat strange.
Shi An’an frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Yaohu beside her, who was watching her curiously.
“Uncle Zhao, is there a place here that leads underground?”
“Underground?” Zhao Yaohu looked at Shi An’an in surprise, not knowing what she wanted to do underground.
Liu Qi frowned, “Could it be that they…”
Shi An’an nodded.
“But…” Liu Qi looked at Zhao Yaohu, “When I was garrisoned on Edge Star back then, I didn’t discover any passage leading underground… Now…”
“There’s none now either. Every month for the past two years, someone has probed once, and no place leading underground has been found. Moreover…”
Zhao Yaohu scratched his head, “Every one of these Edge Stars is solid. We’ve scanned them; there are no underground caves or anything.”
“However, if you say a deeper place, this planet seems to have one, but it’s not very deep, and it’s filled with harmful gases year-round that humans can’t enter…”
“What place?” Shi An’an asked hurriedly. She was certain the jade pendant was at the planet’s core. As for whether Eldest Brother and the others were there, she needed to confirm.
“Here.” Zhao Yaohu opened the star map and pointed to a position.
After memorizing the position, Shi An’an set off.
“An’an.”
Liu Qi called out to Shi An’an, “Be careful and come back safely. If…”
Shi An’an looked at Liu Qi, understanding the words he didn’t say. After a moment of silence, she nodded, “Okay.”
Amid Liu Qi and Zhao Yaohu’s worry, Shi An’an left.
……
“Hey hey hey hey! You’re going too far! I’ve already given you green plants, you already have them, why are you still coming over!!!”
“Damn! These star beasts don’t play fair at all!”
Lin Xi’s clothes were torn at this moment as he ran desperately, with a group of little star beast cubs stretching out their tongues chasing him.
Even star beast cubs were taller and more robust than Lin Xi.
“You all, don’t think I won’t fight back. If you keep chasing me, watch out or I’ll hit you!!!” Lin Xi was furious and said angrily.
“Roar!”
Before Lin Xi could act, the huge star beasts watching from the side had already issued a warning.
Lin Xi instantly cowered, “Fine fine fine, I won’t hit them! But can you control them? Otherwise, tomorrow I won’t give you green plants!!!”
Lin Xi stopped and glared angrily at the star beasts watching from the side.
The star beasts seemed to understand and reluctantly growled softly at the group of cubs.
The cubs looked at Lin Xi reluctantly, then turned around and returned to the adult star beasts.
They climbed onto the star beasts’ bodies in a swarm again, playing and frolicking.
Lin Xi looked at the star beasts being tormented by the group of little star beast cubs and suddenly felt a surge of sympathy in his heart. At the same time, he vowed never to have children in the future!
