Having spent the day concentrating intensely and expending excessive mental energy, Li Ze took a quick shower and drank two bottles of nutrient solution as soon as he returned to his hotel room, before falling into a deep sleep on the bed.
In the living room, Cheng Qiao was still handling official business, and the dining table had been turned into a temporary desk.
"The best room in the Xinjin Hotel doesn't even have a study?" the officer asked.
“We arrived late, so this wasn’t the best hotel,” another officer replied.
Cheng Qiao didn't even look up. "This place is nearly a hundred square meters, enough for you to sleep on the floor."
"Captain, aren't you sleeping on the floor?" an officer asked, approaching him.
"I'll sleep on the sofa." Cheng Qiao glanced at the sofa; we'll take turns keeping watch.
Li Ze slept soundly through the night without any dreams, until 10 a.m.
Her porcelain-white skin had a faint pink tinge, her lips were luscious and she looked relaxed, like a fairy who had drained people of their life force, exuding a sense of satiation and languor.
The moment he pushed open the door, the three hot-blooded men in the living room froze on the spot.
Their desires were already stronger in the morning, and when they encountered such a beauty, the three of them felt as if warm liquid was flowing from their noses. The next second, the three of them took off running, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would embarrass themselves in front of the big boss.
Three figures rushed out the door, not even having time to close it.
Li Ze looked bewildered. "What's going on?"
Five minutes later, Cheng Qiao sent a message saying that there was something at the police station and they had to go back first.
While Li Ze was having breakfast, He Xingjue sent a call request. Li Ze hesitated for a long time before pressing the answer button.
"What's up?" Li Ze asked casually.
"His Majesty wants you to return and take charge of security during the competition between students from both countries." He Xingjue's tone carried a hint of helplessness. He was surprised when His Majesty suddenly approached him. After learning the details and what earth-shattering things Li Ze had done, he was filled with fear and trepidation. Hearing those booming sounds, he still couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
If he hadn't noticed their unusual behavior beforehand—
He Xingjue's heart tightened suddenly. The people in the shadows had probably already set their sights on Li Ze. He had to dig them out and eliminate them as soon as possible.
“I don’t want to go.” Li Ze refused decisively. He planned to leave Taowu Star after breakfast and head east.
He hasn't been to the east or west of the empire yet. After exploring the east, he'll go to the west, raise his strength to the peak of his previous life, and then find the places where the Void Beasts appear to explore the secrets of how they break through the void. After that, he'll leave this world—
He Xingjue was not surprised at all by Li Ze's answer, "His Majesty said that you can make any request you want."
Li Ze shook his head again, "I don't need any requests."
He Xingjue gave him a deep look and sighed, "Alright then, I will tell His Majesty the truth. It's dangerous outside, so be careful when you're alone."
Li Ze hummed in agreement, looked up at He Xingjue on the screen, and under He Xingjue's gaze, pressed the button to end the communication.
After breakfast, Li Ze checked out of the hotel and then piloted his mech to the jump point.
Unfortunately, the jump point was under maintenance.
"Are you leaving Taotie Star?" The soldier guarding the jump point asked with some reluctance.
“Yes, we’re leaving,” Li Ze said.
"Will you come back?" the soldier asked again.
Li Ze thought for a moment and then honestly replied, "I don't know."
Hearing this answer, the soldier knew that Li Ze probably had no intention of returning, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had originally planned to go to the square to queue up during his rest period. The disorder in his mental sea had lasted for quite some time, and the guides in the army were not high-level enough to solve his mental sea problem.
He had pinned his hopes on Li Ze, but now it seemed there was no chance. Nevertheless, he still offered his blessings, saying, "I hope you have a safe journey."
"Thank you." Li Ze said, pressing his index finger against the soldier's forehead. In a few seconds, he resolved the problem in the soldier's mental state. "It was a bit disordered. I helped you sort it out. It's fine now."
After saying that, Li Ze turned around, leaped up, entered the mecha, and piloted it into Taotie Star.
The soldier watched the black mech disappear into the horizon, his eyes slightly red.
Leaving Taotie Star and entering the vast sea of stars, Xuan Ying was about to accelerate when she was surrounded by more than twenty mechs.
At the same time, the other party sent a connection request.
Li Ze agreed, but did not speak first after the call was connected.
"Tsk, you're quite composed." The other person's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Are you people from Qi?" Li Ze asked calmly.
"Oh ho, you know Qi too?"
"So, you killed the underground laboratory we spent a fortune building, and the doctor we went through so much trouble to find?"
"Yes." Li Ze readily admitted. Although he didn't do it himself, it was no different from doing it himself.
"Damn it, you've got guts!" the other party cursed. "So, how are you going to compensate us?"
A strange feeling welled up in Li Ze's heart. Why did these people talk so much nonsense? Were they here to kill him, or to chat with him?
Are they here to stall him?
Li Ze immediately thought of He Xingjue on Vermilion Bird Star. He immediately sent a message to He Xingjue: "There are more than twenty mechs trying to hold me back in the Star Sea and prevent me from leaving. I suspect that they are going to make their move on Vermilion Bird Star today."
As soon as the message was sent, He Xingjue immediately sent a video request, which Li Ze accepted.
He put his index finger to his lips, signaling He Xing not to speak.
At this moment, the person on the other end said again, "Speak up, how are you going to compensate us? I heard you're very rich, how about this, give us 50 billion star coins."
"No payment, no compensation," Li Ze said calmly.
Meanwhile, He Xingjue sent someone to inform His Majesty that there was a high probability of action today.
Upon hearing this, His Majesty immediately inquired about the source of the information and its reliability. He Xingjue told the truth, "When Li Ze left Taowu Star, the people of Qi thought he was going back to Zhuque Star and stopped him in the Star Sea."
His Majesty's eyes narrowed, a murderous aura surging within them. "I will secretly send more men. In addition to the sentries, guides will also be transferred over. You did a good job. In special times, it is necessary to be more cautious. Even if it turns out to be a false alarm in the end, it will be fine."
He Xingjue nodded; he thought so too.
Li Ze's attitude angered the other party, and he heard the other party gritting his teeth.
Li Ze raised an eyebrow. So angry, shouldn't you take action?
On the screen, He Xingjue typed with some worry, "Are you confident you can escape?"
Li Ze blinked, as if asking: What do you think?
He Xingjue smiled with a hint of helplessness, "In any case, it's always better to be careful."
“Mind your own business,” Li Ze replied.
He Xingjue: "......."
Okay, he does have a lot of things to do right now.
So He Xing decided to put the phone on silent, but the communication was not disconnected. He would check on Li Ze's situation from time to time.
