Shu Xubai glanced sideways, a smirk playing on his lips. "You know him so well. Did you specifically investigate him, huh?"
Agares, who stole Jiang Jiang's attention, was outstanding, powerful, and upright. He was already someone who couldn't be allowed to live, and now he was even more so. He had to die.
Jiufeng placed her hands on her lap, tilted her body slightly, and met Shu Xubai's eyes: "Excellent people don't need to be investigated!"
Shu Xubai's lips curled slightly: "What do you mean by that?"
Jiufeng said coldly, "When a person is exposed and becomes widely known, everything about him has already been thoroughly investigated. You can search any term online and find pages of all kinds of news about him!"
"Take you for example. You become the richest person in the Fourth Civilization. Your identity and the source of your wealth have been thoroughly investigated online."
"Oh, I see. I was too naive." Upon hearing this, Shu Xubai said "Oh," and leaned towards Jiu Feng.
Jiufeng sat up straight, not leaning against him.
Shu Xubai's eyes flashed with warning and indifference as he beckoned to him.
Jiufeng exhaled a breath of stale air and leaned slightly towards him.
Shu Xubai said with a more playful tone, "Little friend, your partner has been missing for decades, and you firmly believe that he is not dead, but you can't find any clues."
"Dragon, transform into your true form, a giant dragon that stretches for over ten meters! You're still alive and well, yet I can't find a single scale. Should I say you're utterly useless, or should I praise your partner as a hidden master?"
Jiufeng was taken aback: "It's because I'm useless, he's a master."
Shu Xubai revealed an extremely smug smile, making him look like a bewitching, captivating evil: "Little friend, you are indeed useless. Why don't you try thinking in reverse?"
Jiufeng frowned: "Reverse thinking?"
"Hehehe!" Shu Xubai chuckled. "Yes, a dragon that can transform into human form, yet you don't know whether it's male or female, male or female!"
“A dragon that is ten or even several tens of meters long has scales that are at least the size of a palm and whiskers that are at least half a meter long. These are like the fur on a dog, which needs to be replaced and consumed with the changing seasons.”
"Where would you put all the scales of a giant dragon that's tens of meters long? And where would you put its whiskers? Have you ever thought about that, kid?"
Jiufeng was terrified. She had never imagined this before: "I...I..."
“You didn’t think about that. You were only focused on finding it, but you didn’t think about these things.” Shu Xubai picked up on his hesitant words with sarcasm and mockery: “You really think of yourself as a god of the Fourth Civilization, high and mighty, using your usual way of thinking, thinking that it’s lost, missing, and you’re searching blindly. Your usual way of thinking would make you think that it has been captured and imprisoned, or that it has hidden itself away so that you can’t find it.”
"But, little friend, have you ever thought about another possibility?" Shu Xubai stretched out his slender, fair hand, and touched Jiu Feng's temple with his index finger, creating an ambiguous ripple.
Jiufeng sat motionless, staring at him as he pressed his index finger against her temple, waiting for the other possibility he might mention.
Shu Xubai's fingers, which were still pressed against his temple, remained close to his warm skin. "Little friend, I have read your records. Your partner dragon has a sense of inheritance. So, could it be that your partner ran away on its own, leaving you on its own?"
"Moreover, it has not disappeared or vanished. It has transformed into a human, severed the contractual bond between you, and become known to everyone in a high-profile manner. Adhering to the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest place, it is open, aboveboard, and unscrupulous. You can see it as soon as you open the news or deal with important matters, without ever thinking that it is the partner you are looking for."
Jiufeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and she raised her eyes, her sharp gaze fixed on Bo Jichen, the general of the Troya Empire, who was sitting in the main seat some distance away.
Jiang Si gave the fruit in front of her to Yuan Yigun.
Yuan Yigun not only narrowed his eyes with a smug look, but the two small, fan-shaped black ears on his head also trembled and shook.
Si Mubei pouted, about to point at his eldest daughter for favoritism, when he saw a lemon fall into his plate.
He blinked and glanced to his side, only to see his beloved eldest daughter's senior brother grinning at him, looking like he was up to no good.
Fu Huan's movements were fluid and graceful, his demeanor aloof and elegant, just like his enchanting face, which was pleasing to the eye.
Bo Jichen felt a chill run down his spine involuntarily, and when he looked up, he saw Jiu Feng's sharp gaze.
He paused for a moment, then picked up his wine glass, made a gesture of clinking glasses with him, took a sip, put down the glass, straightened his back, adopted a cool and aloof posture, tapped his personal terminal, and sent a message.
The elegant and pleasing Fu Huan's computer beeped. He opened it, didn't even look up, tapped a few times with his fingers, and finally got up and went behind Jiang Si.
Jiang Si looked at him, puzzled.
Fu Huan bent down, placed her hand on Jiang Si's wrist, and whispered in her ear, "Baby, Daddy has to go first. This is a gift for you."
"A conch shell bead?" Jiang Si looked at her wrist and saw that in addition to the bracelet that Agares had put on her wrist, another bracelet had been put on her wrist. The bracelet was shaped like a dragon holding a pearl, with a thin body and an oval, symmetrical conch shell bead fixed at both ends.
She recognized the golden conch bead; it was Fu Huan's father's treasure. She had used it to detoxify in the elliptical star system, although it wasn't very effective on her body. It was still a good thing, as the bead possessed water-based supernatural abilities.
“Yes, my darling, this is a gift for you as a present for His Highness.” Fu Huan pressed down on her wrist, then straightened up. “I hope you like it.”
Jiang Si looked at the beautiful conch-shaped golden pearl, then raised her head and asked, "If you like it, Fu Huan, I'll give it to you."
Fu Huan glanced indifferently at Jiu Feng in the distance, then exchanged a look with her own boss: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, baby."
Jiang Si raised her head, taking in their expressions perfectly. Suddenly, in a flash, she understood why Fu Huanbaba was here, with such a devilishly handsome face.
It turns out this was all Bo Gouzei's scheme. In order to keep his identity as the Great Witch of the Fourth Civilization from being exposed as his young wife, he brought Fu Huan over to be his tool.
Looking back now, when Jiu Feng saw Fu Huan again, her eyes were fixed on him, and she even glanced at him before sitting down.
In other words, the tool that Bo Gouzei found has successfully made Jiu Feng suspect that the tool is his runaway little wife.
She was certain that if she sent Fu Huan away now, Jiu Feng would definitely recover.
"No trouble at all." Jiang Si reached out and put her arm around Fu Huan's arm. "Let's go, let's not waste any time."
"Okay!" Fu Huan waved to everyone, then left her seat with her beloved daughter.
Bo Jichen gave his adjutant Zhongyun a wink, and Zhongyun immediately followed with the young prince and his entourage of more than a dozen people.
As expected, Jiang Si, who had been silently watching Jiu Feng, noticed that ever since they got up and walked towards the elevator, Jiu Feng's gaze was fixed on them, especially on Fu Huanbaba.
As they approached the elevator, Jiu Feng stood up, took a step, and walked towards it. When the elevator arrived, they entered and stood still. Just as the elevator doors were about to close...
Jiufeng placed her hand on the elevator door, her gaze fixed on Fu Huan: "Mr. Fu Huan, I just mentioned I had a favor to ask, but you said you were hungry and would talk to me after you finished eating. Now that you're full, I wonder..."
Before Jiufeng could finish speaking, suddenly, a piercing air raid siren sounded again, its loudness drowning out the previous siren.
In the banquet hall, someone panicked and shouted, "The Star Beast has broken through the atmosphere of the capital star! Get out of the house quickly, get out of the house to an open space, or the house will be trampled down by the Star Beast!"
Jiang Si frowned. Ding Huixian had told her that even if a hundred Star Beasts came, Agares would personally oversee the hunt and kill them, and the capital planet would be fine. Why was someone so impatient when the Star Beasts broke through the atmosphere?
Just as she was about to turn her head to ask Zhongyun, Fu Huan, who was standing next to her, took her hand and led her out of the elevator, saying with a smile, "Baby, it seems that Daddy can't ride the flying machine on the top floor, so he can only ride the flying machine on the ground. I'm sorry, Your Excellency Jiufeng, I need to ensure my baby's safety, so I'll take my leave first. Contact me again if anything comes up!"
Jiufeng blocked their way, looking at the two of them. She wanted to tell Jiang Jiang that the Starry Sky Beasts were brought by Shu Xubai, a filthy vampire, but she changed her mind and said in a deep voice, "Lord Fu Huan, you can't leave with Princess Jiang Jiang. With such a rapid sound of the Starry Sky Beast air raid siren, there must be no less than a hundred Starry Sky Beasts."
Fu Huan's face, which was even more beautiful than a fairy, changed: "No less than a hundred? How is that possible? Star Beasts roam the galaxy and rarely attack planets in large groups."
Faced with Fu Huan's questioning, Jiu Feng, who was not good at lying, carefully chose her words. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Si turned her head and asked Ding Huixian behind her in a cold voice, "Ding Huixian, didn't you say that a hundred Starry Sky Beasts were not a threat? Why did my father's face change and why are the people here so uneasy?"
Ding Huixian, who was called out, trembled. This was all because His Highness Agares and General Bo Jichen had told her to say that the young princess lacked basic common sense. They said that she wouldn't ask any questions and there was no need to worry. His Highness Agares would resolve the matter quickly.
Unexpectedly, Prince Agares failed to stop the Star Beasts; some of them broke through the atmosphere and were intercepted by air defenses.
"say……"
Jiang Si's voice stopped abruptly. Through the window, she saw a huge beast with flapping wings circling in the air, blocking out the sun.
Around the behemoth were several fighter jets. Compared to the behemoth, the size of the fighter jets was like the difference between a human and an ant. They fired at the behemoth, but it seemed to have a hard shell on its body, and the fire could not cause any real damage.
“How could it not be a threat?” Fu Huan put her hand on her precious daughter’s shoulder and explained to her seriously, “One Star Beast can blot out the sun, and ten Star Beasts are like a nuclear explosion, enough to devastate a planet. If a hundred Star Beasts really come as Her Highness Jiu Feng said, Marshal Agares will not be able to stop them. None of us will be able to escape. We’ll just have to wait to die.”
