Upon hearing this, the more than 3,000 members of Tu Miehao all stood up in unison: "Boss, you, you, you've given yourself and all of us to her. What does she want us for? To be her robbers and thieves to make money?"

"Yeah, boss, we've already compensated her with so much ore, gold coins, and all those skeletons you collected. Isn't that enough?"

"Trillion+... Is money worthless 500 years from now? It's all worth trillions+ now. I looked at it, and the space jump tunnel we blew up was only 10 or 20 meters long at most. Why is it so expensive? Is she taking this opportunity to extort money from us 500-year-old relics?"

It's no wonder people are speculating. 500 years ago, trillions of dollars didn't exist at all. Having tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars made you incredibly wealthy.

Mie Yin looked at his crew and subordinates: "Space jump tunnels took thousands of years to conquer. The one I blasted was a space jump tunnel from the Abel Galaxy to the Milky Way."

"This space jump tunnel is the longest in the Abel system. Its construction cost nearly two months' worth of the Troia Empire's budget. Each meter of it must cost at least a hundred million!"

The more than 3,000 people on the map exterminated: "!!!!"

It used up nearly two months' worth of the Troia Empire's finances. How many billions, how many zeros, would that be?

So they paid over 100 million in compensation, which is too little, right?

Mie Yin looked at his subordinates and continued, "Although I don't know why Princess Jiang Si kept us here, I know we won't die for now. If we resisted, as you all saw, she can destroy a planet with her bare hands. We are no more than ants in front of her."

"So I agreed to her request and gave myself and you to her as compensation. As for what she wants us to do to repay this money, I don't know. All I can do now is wait, wait for her instructions!"

He fell silent after he finished speaking.

Mie Yin fell silent, and his subordinates also fell silent, involuntarily looking at the projection screen on their wall, which was showing a video of ginger shreds blasting a planet apart from every angle.

Given her power to destroy a planet, they really are, as their leader said, less than ants in front of her. If she wanted to kill them, she could just wave her hand or stomp her foot, and they would all be dead.

The repair of the space tunnel is still underway. While Jiang Si is enjoying her time with Agares, she also makes sure to prepare a late-night snack so that Cangying and the others working on the repair can have something to eat and drink.

As it turned out, with three meals a day plus a late-night snack, they were full and energized, and they worked especially hard. They said they would repair the space jump tunnel in two days, but they repaired it in just over a day and a half.

After the space jump tunnel was repaired, the people from the Troia Empire's Space Research Institute arrived in their ships. To prevent the space jump tunnel from being destroyed again or caused by other human factors, Agares instructed the Space Jump Research Institute to find a way to add a protective shield and warning devices to the space jump tunnel.

The device is easy to install, but the protective shield is not. The shield can protect against ships, but it cannot protect against celestial bodies. When planets or celestial bodies fall, the impact is enormous.

However, things can be done by human intervention, and it is not impossible. Protective shields and warning devices can be added to the outside of the space tunnel, along with celestial body detection and artillery fire. If a celestial body falls and is detected, it can be shot down to protect the space jump tunnel.

The people at the Space Jump Institute shared their ideas with Agares, who approved them outright and told them to proceed in that direction.

The people at the Space Jump Institute were pleased with their decisive and efficient leader. As researchers, they preferred leaders who approved funding quickly and efficiently.

The Blue Star restarted, and Agares personally drove for half an hour to confirm that there were no problems with the space jump tunnel before switching to autopilot, connecting to his personal computer, leaving the cockpit, and going to find Jiang Si.

To celebrate the repair of the space jump tunnel, Jiang Si said she would treat everyone to a good meal. When Agares arrived, Quanjian Wei Chi Yan Qi and the others were rolling up their sleeves and showing off their cooking skills in the kitchen.

Fu Huan and Hu Xian, two charlatans, sat facing each other, drinking juice. One was handsome enough to be a feast for the eyes, while the other was disguised as ugly enough to be outrageous. Yet, the two were inexplicably harmonious, their movements incredibly elegant, and their aura noble and aloof.

Agares looked around but couldn't see his wife, so he asked, "Gentlemen, where is my princess?"

Wei Chi raised his hand and turned to look at Agares: "Marshal Agares, your princess, my idol, go find Shu Xubai and Lord Jiufeng."

Jiang Si couldn't get through to Shu Xubai and Jiu Feng, and they were in a hurry to eat. Jiang Si had no choice but to come and find them, since the food was almost ready and she figured it would be just in time to call them over and they could eat right away without delaying anything.

To Jiang Si's utter surprise, when she arrived at the second floor, the first thing she saw was flower petals, the second thing she saw was Shu Xubai inside the petals, and the third thing she saw was Jiu Feng's tightly closed door.

"My goodness, my darling, my sweetheart, are you feverish or just horny?!" Jiang Si bent over, stepping on rose petals, and came right up to Shu Xubai, clicking her tongue as if she were looking at a monster.

He's sick, he's really seriously ill. These past two days have almost passed, and he's just sitting here picking roses, not knocking on doors, not backing down, and not admitting his mistakes.

He's always picking on others, but he's also picking on himself!

Whom is he abusing? He's abusing himself.

Shu Xubai, dressed in a white shirt with messy hair, sat among the flower petals, exuding a gloomy aura. His tone was definitely not good: "Whether I have a fever or I'm horny is none of your business. Look at you, so idle. Can you just get as far away from me as possible?"

Despite Shu Xubai's unfriendly tone, Jiang Si ignored him completely, clicking her tongue louder and louder as she reached out to touch Shu Xubai's forehead: "My dear, aren't you hot? Aren't you burning up?"

"Get out!" Shu Xubai said sharply, his words carrying a chilling meaning. He reached out to slap Jiang Si's hand that was touching his head.

Jiang Si pulled her hand back, and instead of hitting him, he hit her own forehead.

It snapped with a crisp sound!

Shu Xu rolled his eyes and said, "You stinky zombie, get lost. Don't mess with me, I'm really angry right now."

Whether she was angry or not didn't matter to Jiang Si. She just felt a little regretful that she had given him so many roses to coax him, but he had torn them all up.

Jiang Si kicked at the petals and squatted down in front of Shu Xubai: "My dear old man, what color does the little phoenix like?"

Shu Xubai held the last rose in his hand, with only a few petals left. He was furious. "What color does he like? I'm his master, not someone who can read his mind. How would I know?"

Still acting all high and mighty!

Jiang Si nodded: "Okay, you didn't know, but he likes red."

Shu Xubai: "!!!!"

What do you mean he just likes red?

He clearly likes cyan!

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw, that's the color of his dragon companion's eggshell, he didn't like it at all.

Yes, yes, he likes red, red!

Jiang Si didn't see Shu Xubai's ever-changing deadpan face before she flashed into her own space.

Shu Xubai: "!!!!"

It has a spatial ability, can become invisible, and can teleport. That's amazing. I didn't even get to say two words to it before it disappeared.

It's true that it's better to keep your mortal enemies hanging on the wall.

I'll kill her sooner or later and hang her on the wall.

Jiang Si went into her own space and tied a bouquet of roses there.

She specially cultivated each rose individually, and each rose was twice the size of a regular rose. Eleven roses made for a very large bouquet.

She simply removed the thorns from the rose, tied it with a willow branch, and carrying the rose, she vanished from the space and arrived at the Nine Phoenix Gate, raising her hand to knock on the door.

When Shu Xubai and the others saw her, they tried to stop her from knocking on the door, but it was too late; her hand was already on the door.

Shu Xubai flipped to his feet and came like a whirlwind, stirring up the rose petals on the ground, which then danced in the air.

Shu Xubai wanted to snatch the rose from Jiang Si's arms, but didn't want the little phoenix to see it.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, it was opened, and Jiu Feng, who had been asleep for nearly two days, appeared at the door.

His face was rosy, his eyes were gentle, he was wearing pajamas, his hair was loose, and he stared blankly at the colorful petals fluttering in the sky.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Si put a bouquet of roses in her arms into Jiu Feng's arms: "My husband spent 1 million to buy these for you from me."

Shu Xubai: "!!!!"

What kind of lousy rose costs 1 million?

This is highway robbery!

Beautiful, vibrant red roses filled Jiu Feng's arms. He reached out to take them, then asked in a daze, "For me?"

Jiang Si turned her head and waved as she walked, saying, "Yes, it was given to you by my husband. Dinner is about to start, so put the flowers away and come eat!"

Holding the roses, Jiu Feng, already handsome, appeared slightly delicate. If the roses were any bigger, he would hold them a little higher so they wouldn't completely obscure his face: "Okay!"

Upon hearing his reply, Jiang Si quickened her pace, lowered her raised hand, and slightly clenched her fingers. Instantly, the petals in the corridor rose without wind, turning into a rain of petals that drifted in the air.

Shu Xubai: "!!!!"

What kind of old-fashioned, domineering CEO scattering flower petals scene is this?

How utterly vulgar...

As Shu Xubai was internally complaining, he suddenly changed his mind when he saw Jiu Feng holding roses and looking up at the rain of petals. Whether it was classic or not didn't matter, whether it was old or not didn't matter either. The colorful rain of petals was actually quite beautiful.

Jiufeng glanced at the colorful petals floating in the air for a while, then looked away and at Shu Xubai standing in front of him.

Shu Xubai met his eyes, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes. Oh dear, oh dear, the little phoenix is ​​going to apologize to him, to soften her stance, and to admit her mistake.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel, especially since the elegant and noble vampire's inner thoughts are too great and his imagination is too beautiful, leading to the opposite of reality.

Jiufeng looked away when their eyes met. Holding the roses, she turned and went back to her room. She was about to close the door when the petals fluttering in the corridor seemed to recognize her and followed her into the room, making it impossible for her to close the door.

Because of this door that could not be closed, Shu Xubai, like a defeated rooster or a plucked cat, drooped and followed the rain of petals into Jiu Feng's room. He grabbed Jiu Feng and said with a stubborn, arrogant tone, "Little Phoenix, quickly apologize to me, and I will forgive you."

Jiufeng's gaze fell on his hand. As an immortal Vampire, his skin was very white, and his hands were long and beautiful. When he grabbed him, his fingers exerted a little force, and the veins on the back of his hand could be seen.

Jiufeng looked away from his hand and asked calmly, "You want me to admit my mistake? What did I do wrong?"

Shu Xubai raised his voice: "You don't know where you went wrong? How could you not know where you went wrong? As food, you don't even have me as your master. You never tell me what you're doing wrong. Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Jiufeng, feigning sudden realization, replied, "I see. Okay, I understand. I was wrong. Next time I need something, I'll contact you immediately, okay, Master?"

Jiufeng spoke the word "master" very softly, and Shu Xubai felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He felt completely at ease and stopped worrying. "That's fine, that's fine. From now on, follow this standard. No matter if you have nightmares or anything else, just come to me. As long as you listen to me, I can solve it for you."

Holding a bouquet of roses, Jiufeng approached him, a slight smile playing on her lips and her eyes sparkling. "Yes, Master..."

Shu Xubai felt another wave of relief and hummed, "That's more like it. Go and put the flowers in the pot. I'm going to take a shower, change my clothes, and then I'll take you out to eat."

Jiufeng nodded slightly, holding the flowers, and stood aside, ready to watch Shu Xubai leave. Unexpectedly, he did not leave, but walked straight past her and went into the bathroom in his room.

Jiufeng: "..."

Shu Xubai closed the bathroom door, grinned, and frantically gesticulated for 10 seconds.

Ten seconds later, he immediately got back to normal, took off his clothes, and went to take a shower.

All the flower petals on the outside corridor came into the house and danced inside. People could walk among the petals, touch them, and even pick them up.

But as soon as you release your hand, the petals will flutter in the air again, filling the entire room with the fragrance of roses and the scent of rose petals.

Amidst the rain of petals, Jiufeng placed the roses in a vase and carried the vase to the French windows.

This way, you can see bright red and beautiful roses just by looking out the floor-to-ceiling window.

Jiang Si's timing was perfect. Cold dishes, hot dishes, braised dishes, stewed dishes, stir-fried dishes, soup, and rice were all served. Everyone sat down, and Shu Xubai and Jiu Feng arrived.

As soon as the two of them arrived, they started eating. Some used basins, and some used bowls. At first, it was extremely harmonious. But as they ate, things got messy and chaotic, with plates and chopsticks gleaming.

In the end, all the dishes, rice, and soup were gone, and everyone was full, especially the few who ate a lot, who were all slumped in their chairs.

Jiang Si stood up, picked up the two children, and, along with Agares, each held one of them: "Everyone, you've left this mess at the table. We're taking the children for a walk to digest!"

Jiang Si left as soon as she finished speaking.

As soon as she left, Yanliu touched her stomach, which was still flat despite having eaten two bowls of rice, but was a little full. She challenged Quanjian to a fight, saying, "Little Queen, let's go fight to digest our food!"
