As soon as Shu Xubai finished speaking, Agares stepped forward again and said in a deep voice, "Lord Shu Xubai, please have some self-respect!"
"I have self-respect?" Shu Xubai scoffed. "I have a lot of self-respect. I didn't agree when she took a liking to you, but she insisted, so I just let her have her way."
"Now that she's dead because of you, you're telling me to have some self-respect? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You think you're worthy?"
Agares slowly clenched his fingers, his domineering aura fading as he lowered his head, humbling himself greatly: "Lord Shu Xubai, my wife is not dead. I only wish to see her once more. Please grant my request!"
Seeing his humble and submissive manner, Shu Xubai's anger burned even more fiercely. What kind of person was he? He wouldn't even kill someone like that, yet he was hurting him here. It was infuriating.
"Your wife isn't dead. You want to see her, and you're begging me to grant your wish?" Shu Xubai sneered. "No, Agares, let me remind you one more time: she's dead, she's dead, she's dead."
"She died by suicide, taking her child with her. Not only will you never see her again in this lifetime, but I will never see her either. And you still come to block my ship and stab me in the heart. Agares, you can't bully people like this."
What kind of lousy ointment did that damn zombie find? It faked its death and escaped, yet it's still being harassed?
Of course, it's all that damn Jiang Jiang's fault, that ungrateful brat. I should never have raised him. Look at the mess he's made of, he's just a debt collector.
“I did not bully anyone.” Agares’s deep voice was extremely stiff, yet sincere: “Lord Shu Xubai, I only want to see my wife and apologize to her. Please give me this chance!”
"She's dead..."
"No!" Jiufeng suddenly appeared behind Shu Xubai, holding a scepter in her hand. Her voice drowned out Shu Xubai's words as she said to Agares, "Marshal Agares, whether you believe it or not, your wife is not on our ship."
Shu Xubai turned around and exclaimed with joy, "Little Phoenix!"
Jiufeng gave him a sweet smile, then instantly put on a serious face and stood beside Shu Xubai, facing Agares: "Your wife, the little princess of the Troya Empire, the princess consort, we have not met her on this trip."
Shu Xubai's gaze was fixed on Jiufeng, and his fingers itched to reach for Jiufeng's.
The two of them were oblivious to everyone around them. One looked serious, while the other looked a little unserious, but their little fingers were hooked together, sticky and affectionate.
Agares saw their subtle movements and felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He and his young wife used to be like that, but now everything was ruined, all destroyed by his own hands.
Agares stared directly at Jiufeng: "The information says she's on your spaceship. I believe the information is correct. Considering all the details before, I haven't seen her body, so I don't believe she's dead."
"No, she's not here!" Jiufeng said calmly. "She's dead. She's not on our spaceship. If you don't believe me, you can search our spaceship freely..."
"Why should he be allowed to search..."
Jiufeng interrupted Shu Xubai: "Let him go find it, so he won't bother us!"
Shu Xubai was extremely unhappy and unwilling, but he could only indulge Jiu Feng and sarcastically said to Agares: "Go ahead and search, go ahead and search, it's so annoying. You killed your own wife with your own hands, and now you're putting on a show of deep affection. I don't know who you're trying to fool!"
Agares lowered his head slightly, "Thank you, Your Excellency Jiufeng."
Jiufeng hooked her little finger around Shu Xubai's and stepped aside to make way.
Agares stepped inside and entered their ship.
Shu Xubai wanted to follow up and try to provoke Agares, but Jiufeng hooked his little finger around her finger and her voice, no longer cold and serious, became soft: "Bai Bai, massage my head, it hurts, and I feel like there are some dragon roars in my mind!"
"Closer, closer, closer!" Si Mubei's voice was filled with excitement. "That invisible spaceship is getting closer and closer to us. Should we attack? Should we attack?"
"Go for it! Go for it! This is my debut, and I'm so excited! So exciting!"
"If we don't engage, our spaceships are the same size as ours, so our bombardment capabilities are definitely the same. Besides, they haven't even made a move yet." Someone offered an analysis: "It seems like they're just passing by, ignoring us."
"I have the same feeling. Their spaceship is similar to ours. There's no reason why our spaceship could detect theirs while theirs couldn't detect ours!"
"So, the other party didn't make a move; they were just passing by..."
"Wait a minute, we're space pirates, the king of kings of space pirates in the Abel Galaxy. How can we not eat something that's been offered to us like this?"
"Exactly! Taking this spaceship is even better than robbing West Mining Star! This spaceship is worth hundreds of millions, 100 billion is nothing compared to it!"
"On your marks, begin the battle..."
"Wait, wait, wait! What are you talking about? Are you blind? The other ship is on par with ours, with equal strength and firepower. If we fight, neither of us will come out on top. We'll only perish together and be buried in the sea of stars!"
"If you want to die, go die somewhere else! I'm still a single dog. I haven't gotten married yet, and I haven't even had a son or a daughter. I don't want to die!"
"Moreover, those who can afford to operate such a ship are either extremely wealthy or extremely powerful, and there are only a handful of them in the entire Abel system. My dear scum, are you sure we can devour it, instead of it devouring us?"
"Uh...that makes so much sense, I have no argument against it!"
"Calling Old Fish, calling Old Fish, quickly use your authority to investigate how many of these spaceships the Fourth Civilization has sold, and who the owners of these spaceships are."
"I have no special privileges whatsoever. I don't want to investigate, I oppose going after them this time, and I advocate that if they don't target us, we shouldn't target them!"
"Stop arguing, it's coming right past us, it just flew right by us, it really is just passing by."
"Wait a minute, this isn't just passing through. Its route seems to be around Baiguo Star in the 15th star system, so... could the people on this ship be our colleagues?"
"Colleagues?" someone questioned. "I'm not well-educated, don't lie to me. They are our colleagues. Which of our colleagues is as rich as us?"
"I agree. None of the stinking space pirates are as rich as us. Their spaceships aren't as luxurious as ours, so... this isn't one of our comrades!"
"Should we follow them and see?"
"No, no, let's go to West Mining Star first, rob 100 billion, and then go to White Fruit Star to ambush him."
"Alright, let's head to the western mining planet..."
Jiang Si exhaled a breath of stale air, but did not deactivate the combat mode. She saw on the holographic monitoring screen that the once-still spaceship had moved.
Artificial Intelligence 520 said, "Miss Jiang, according to data analysis, their flight path is the same as ours, but... while we are going to Baiguo Star, they are very likely going to Xikuang Star."
Jiang Si became interested and asked, "How so?"
Artificial Intelligence 520: "According to data analysis, we have reached the range of 15 star systems. Within this range, the most famous star is not Baiguo Star, but Xikuang Star!"
"West Mining Star belongs to the royal family of the Troia Empire. It has a rare mineral deposit with an annual output value of 100 billion star coins, making it a dream destination for space pirates in the Abel system."
"On May 20th, the most shocking news on the StarNet was discovered: the Red-Eyebrowed Fleet, the king of pirates in the Abel Galaxy, has set sail. Their purpose in going to sea is to rob."
"According to information analysis, the Red Eyebrow Fleet possesses the most powerful ships among the space pirates in the Abel system."
"Some people on the StarNet have analyzed that their ships are very likely the most advanced ships of the Fourth Civilization, belonging to the same company and the same series as the ship we are on."
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
Holy crap!
What did she hear?
Did they hear that the ships that almost went into battle might be the Red Eyebrows Fleet?
A pirate fleet of cheap dads and moms?
Is it really necessary to be this wild?
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
It truly lives up to the saying, "All men are brothers within the vast universe."
It's great to run into an acquaintance so soon!
Jiang Si sat up straight and coughed lightly: "520, let's analyze how likely it is that the ship just now belonged to the Red Eyebrows Fleet?"
"Okay, Miss Jiang!" AI 520 replied, and the analysis results came out: "According to the data analysis, there is an 85% chance that the ship just now belonged to the Red Eyebrows Fleet!"
"According to the analysis results, they have noticed us and want to rob us, but... they are afraid that if their firepower is equal, they will both be injured and both ships will perish together."
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
Okay, this analysis is spot on, very insightful.
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Waaaaah, so that means it almost got to practice using the heavy weapons it had been looking at?
Jiang Si wiped her forehead: "Let them send a signal to prove that we have no ill intentions, and hopefully we can keep to ourselves!"
AI520: "Yes, send it right away!"
Si Mubei sat in the command chair, looking at the received signal information, and clicked his tongue at the loudspeaker: "This damn ship, it's really getting me itching to get my hands on it."
Then came other voices: "Didn't you say you weren't going to rob anyone? What are you itching for?"
"Exactly, exactly. As a principled and classy space pirate, I mean what I say. If I say I won't rob, then I mean it."
"Second brother... oh no, eldest brother, you mustn't ruin our reputation of decades. We are space pirates with principles!"
Si Mubei spat at them: "Who said I was going to rob someone? It was the other side that sent a message saying that we should keep to ourselves, or we'll all die together."
"I just think this little brat is pretty cocky. No wonder he has the same ships as us, he's incredibly awesome!"
Everyone simultaneously scoffed, giving Si Mubei a look of disdain.
Si Mubei, despised by them, changed her rough male voice to a mature female voice: "My dear scumbags, the danger is over. We are 10 minutes away from West Mining Star. Please get to your positions, get your gear ready, and get ready to fight!"
As Jiang Si's spaceship passed through the Western Mining Star, she indeed saw in the monitoring holographic system that the spaceship following her had stopped moving according to 520's analysis.
Jiang Si gave 520 a thumbs up: "520, you are so excellent, the data is so accurate."
Artificial Intelligence 520 exclaimed, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Jiang Jiang. I possess the largest database in the Abel Galaxy, containing all sorts of strange and unusual information. Miss Jiang Jiang, feel free to ask me if you need anything."
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow: "I'll get off at Baiguo Star. Do you have a way to connect to my personal computer? I can ask you if I have any questions while I'm on Baiguo Star!"
AI 520: "Connection is possible. You are now connected. If you need anything, just press the number 1 button on the optical computer, and 520 will provide you with accurate and reliable service!"
Ginger Shreds: "Thank you!"
AI520: "You're welcome. It's my pleasure to serve you!"
Half an hour later.
Jiang Si sat in the command room, at the bow of the ship, and saw the lush green Baiguo Star.
Yan Liu suddenly sprang from her body and lay on the huge, thick glass, as if she wanted to kneel and lick the green ginkgo star.
Jiang Si jumped off the command chair, her boots treading on the ground, and walked behind Yan Liu. She reached out and slapped Yan Liu on the head: "You've met your own kind, can't you have some self-respect and be a little more reserved?"
Yanliu: "!!!!"
What's with all the pretense of being reserved?
Plants don't know how to be reserved, do they?
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Same kind, same kind?
And that kind of creature with a red body and green leaves?
Will they become like humans?
Oh dear, Daddy!
Indeed, traversing the vast universe is exciting, wonderful, and educational.
As the ship entered Baiguo Star, the willow branches and leaves swayed listlessly, seemingly in a state of jubilation.
Jiang Si grabbed Yan Liu's head and wrapped it around her wrist. "Ready, we can go!"
Yan Liu swayed on her wrist.
Jiang Si turned around and said to 520 as she walked, "520, stop the ship where the plant density is highest on Baiguo Star, or where the tallest plant is. I'm getting off the ship!"
AI520: "Okay, Miss Jiang, the spaceship will stop within 5 minutes, at the location with the highest plant density!"
Jiang Si nodded in satisfaction and walked for about 10 minutes from the bow of the command ship to the hatch.
The hatch was opened, blocking out the wind; walking on the hatch, you couldn't feel any wind at all.
Looking down, Jiang Si saw nothing but green as far as the eye could see, a lush green like a vast green sea.
Because the density is too high, neither aircraft nor vehicles can enter the forest.
The voice of AI 520 sounded again: "Miss Jiang Jiang, according to 520's analysis of the plant density on Baiguo Star, your spacecraft vehicle cannot operate normally on Baiguo Star. You need a superior combat robot that can carry you freely on Baiguo Star and fight alien beasts for you."
Jiang Si loves AI 520. It really understands people's needs and thoughts, and is even more reliable than Agares.
Jiang Si opened her mouth and said, "520, find me the most powerful combat robot."
"Okay, Miss Jiang Jiang." AI 520: "Please wait, the combat robot will arrive at your side in 10 seconds, 10…9…8…"
"We've investigated, but we couldn't find your wife, right?" Shu Xu pressed his white hand to Jiu Feng's temple and said rudely to Agares, whom they had already located, "Give up now?"
Agares' eyes were a little red. He searched around and used his mental power to scan the area, but he couldn't find his little wife. There was no little wife on the spaceship at all.
"If you're not going to give up, then get out of here." Shu Xubai said impatiently, "You beat your wife and don't care about her, but I care about my partner. Get out of here and don't stop me from caring for my partner!"
Agares' heart skipped a beat. He watched as Shu Xubai embraced Jiu Feng, gently massaging his temples. He took two steps back and said, "Excuse me!"
Shu Xubai snorted at him, then bent down and picked up Jiufeng in his arms, soothing her as they walked towards the spaceship: "Little Phoenix, I'll help you sort out your spiritual sea when we get back!"
Jiufeng covered her head in his arms, her face pale, her eyes filled with pain: "Baibai, my head hurts so much, my head hurts so much, the dragon's roar is getting louder and louder, my head hurts so much, what am I looking for, Baibai, what dragon am I looking for?"
