The spacecraft was towed into the warship, the warship's hatch closed, and the next second, the warship turned around and disappeared over planet 12.

The warships took less than five minutes to appear and leave, leaving the garrison on Planet 12 no time to react.

"The space pirates deployed two warships just to capture Young Master Li?" The subordinate was somewhat puzzled.

That would be a waste of talent.

"Is it because Young Master Li has donated over a billion yuan these past few days?" another person asked.

He Xingjue was surprised, "He donated over a billion?"

"It's 1.1 billion right now. What, you didn't know?" The subordinate was a little surprised, thinking to himself, "You two are legally a married couple, donating such a large amount, didn't you even discuss it with each other?"

Chen Qian blinked his sore eyes and said in his usual cool tone, "Young Master Li has been captured. Are you still going to Planet 12?"

“I won’t go. I’ll wait for the space pirates to contact me,” He Xingjue said.

Li Ze was arrested in front of the entire StarNet community of the Empire. On the day of his arrest, countless netizens left messages on the Empire's official website, urging the Empire to send troops to rescue him. Among them, the Snow Wolf Legion's official account was the most active.

"Your wife has been captured by space pirates, aren't you going to rescue her?"

"The Snow Wolf Legion is known as the most powerful legion in the empire. I wonder how long it will take to rescue your lady?"

"Has Commander He Xingjue set off yet? Please tell him to be gentle during the rescue and not to hurt our Li Ze. Li Ze is weak and can't take even the slightest bump or bruise."

"Please tell Commander He that if the space pirates demand a ransom from him, he should not refuse outright. We can crowdfund it."

"Yes, we can crowdfund no matter how much it costs."

“............”

When the soldier managing the Snow Wolf Legion's account saw that netizens were already discussing how many Star Coins they could contribute, he couldn't help but contact his commander and tell him about it.

After listening, Commander He remained silent for a while before saying, "Tell them it's not necessary."

The moment the aircraft was towed into the warship, Li Ze felt a strong aura of malevolence emanating from all directions.

He likes it.

“You’re still laughing? This is a space pirate’s warship!” the kidnapper said.

Although they were kidnappers, they were actually just low-level henchmen under He Xingyang. They had never killed anyone, nor had they ever broken any imperial laws. Kidnapping Li Ze was the most outrageous thing they had ever done.

They were absolutely terrified when faced with the vicious space pirates!

Li Ze glanced at the kidnappers indifferently, "Considering you've been following me for a few days, don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Those are space pirates!" the kidnapper emphasized, seemingly afraid that Li Ze didn't understand the seriousness of the matter. He explained, "Space pirates are not weak. A powerful space pirate group can be comparable to the Empire's legion. Especially the top ten space pirates, even the Empire's legion doesn't dare to go head-to-head with them. You are powerful, but you are outnumbered and outmatched. Moreover, you don't have a mecha or a warship, so you are no match for them."

After listening, Li Ze frowned. "Then what should we do?"

"Let's just leave it at that. Let's wait for someone else to come and rescue us."

Who will come to our rescue?

The kidnapper fell silent.

Yes, who will come to rescue them?

He Xingjue probably couldn't be happier that the space pirates killed Li Ze, so he could remarry a powerful and influential guide.

The chains automatically disengaged, and the aircraft regained its freedom, but the two kidnappers were not happy at all. They did not want to, and dared not, leave the aircraft.

However, reality doesn't allow them to choose.

Thirty-odd tall, burly space pirates surrounded the aircraft, their arms crossed, watching Li Ze and his two companions inside with great interest.

Li Ze remained calm, but the two kidnappers trembled and involuntarily moved closer to him, whispering, "Young Master Li, what should we do now?"

Li Ze did not answer. He was now curiously watching the various wild animals following these people, including lions, tigers, leopards, wolves... and even a fish.

What are these things?

They are not physical entities, but they possess immense energy, making it clear at a glance that they are formidable in combat.

Are they spiritual entities?

"Is this He Xingjue's wife?" A man with a tiger tattoo on his face spoke first.

Li Ze discovered that not only did he have a tiger tattoo on his face, but there was also a tiger beside him.

"He's really handsome. This is the first time I've ever seen such a good-looking man. I wonder if he'll show that seductive look on his aloof and proud face when he gets bullied too much, hehe..." A space pirate chuckled lewdly.

“Judging by his physique, he doesn’t look like someone who can be easily abused. You guys go find someone else; this one will be very useful,” another pirate said.

"No, he's He Xingjue's man. I can't wait to taste him. Don't worry, I'll be gentle." The pirate's eyes were filled with undisguised aggression.

"You come first, I come second. I don't like men, but I'm very interested in men who are more beautiful than women."

"Why bother with ranking first and second? Let's just bring them all on at once."

"Hey, you're really in a hurry, aren't you? You're burning with lust, aren't you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards the man's crotch.

The man didn't try to hide anything, saying, "What are you looking at? You yourselves don't have any!"

"Yo—"

The crowd gasped, their faces filled with lewd smiles.

Amidst the laughter, the two kidnappers couldn't help but move closer to Li Ze. They had heard that space pirates were indiscriminate in their tastes, and although their looks were only average, what if they were accidentally spotted by some blind space pirate?

The kidnappers trembled, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground. In contrast, Li Ze, who was being talked about with filth and lewd gazes, remained calm and didn't even flinch.

Is it because he's too calm, or is he terrified?

Li Ze's mentality was naturally not bad. Since he became conscious, he had witnessed countless killings, conspiracies, deceit, rape, and plunder on the battlefield between humans and demons. He certainly wouldn't take mere obscene language to heart.

Furthermore, these space pirates were surrounded by a thick aura of malevolence, and when he looked at them, it was as if he were looking at a delicious feast. He had no mind to care about what they were saying.

"Where are you taking us?" Li Ze asked calmly while inhaling the evil energy.

"To the Death Starfield," a space pirate replied. "But before that, little beauty, please come with us to our room first. Your brother will take you on a tour of Elysium."

"Hehe, if used well, the term 'paradise on earth' can indeed be extremely blissful."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

The spacecraft door was pulled open from the outside, and Li Ze stepped out first. "What is the Death Starfield?"

"The pirates' lair," the kidnapper whispered.

Li Ze's eyes lit up. If the murderous aura around the space pirates was so strong, wouldn't their lair be even stronger?

Li Ze licked his lips; he was getting impatient.

The space pirates nearby saw his rosy lips and bright red tongue, their eyes darkened, and the lust within them surged to their heads.
