Chapter 68
The atmosphere froze at that moment. Seeing the two of them gazing at each other affectionately (?), murderous intent surged to the highest point. One of them slowly raised his hand, and the invisible mental power in the air around him began to fluctuate. The other recognized that it was the old opponent who had used his life to hinder him before. His eyes turned red, and branches all over his body spread out, ready to move.
The battle between them was about to break out. Fortunately, Wen Yuxiao finally reacted at this time. He stretched out his hand to pull the white-haired king insect to stand beside him. With the other hand, he grabbed the black little monster and held it in his arms with one hand, trying his best to prevent the two from meeting.
She thought to herself, "What a sturdy woman I am, with such strong and powerful arms!" She glanced at the surrounding Overlords, but didn't see the familiar black-haired boy. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where's Shadow?"
"We caught the criminal you were looking for."
"The shadow is watching him."
The red-haired twins spoke in perfect harmony, one in front of the other, and the timing of their opening words was just right. If the two people hadn't been standing in front of her alive, she would have thought that the sound just now was two sentences spoken by one person.
The king insects' eyes all fell on the little monster with red eyes. In fact, they knew what was going on the first time they looked at each other. After all, the divine power flowing in their blood was of the same origin. But there was nothing to say between the brothers. The reason they didn't kill until only the last one was because Wen Yuxiao was still standing here.
So the monsters reached a consensus and joined hands to pretend that everything was peaceful, but in fact they hated each other. Now they looked at each other and the atmosphere gradually became deadlocked. The other side had more people, and the little monster was not to be outdone. It opened its mouth and howled, and was about to pounce on and bite the person closest to it - but was covered by Wen Yuxiao in time.
"Is this your highness's new pet?" The silver-haired king insect, with its charming and beautiful features, feigned surprise, as if only just now noticing the massive black creature. "It's small, but very cute," he said, hinting.
The little monster's silly, stupid, lovable and harmless look only appeared in front of Wen Yuxiao. Now that he was being implied, his scarlet eyes glared coldly at the "brothers" around him, as if he was looking at the small meals he would eat one bite at a time in the future.
The Zerg were indeed incredibly united at times. Even the previously silent scholar commented, "He seems a bit fierce. So, Your Highness likes this type?"
Seeing that they were about to criticize the little monster while he was covering his mouth and couldn't call out, but it was difficult for him to explain his origins while standing at the door, Wen Yuxiao remembered the cat-eared beastman who had deceived him and ran away, and asked to meet him.
In fact, there was not much hatred between them, Wen Yuxiao thought. It was just that they had finally gone out to have fun, but ended up being cheated and were very upset.
Finally, they arrived at the meeting room. Before they even entered, the AI-controlled robotic arm, which they hadn't seen in a long time, brought her a cup of tea. The lively and cheerful boy's voice was particularly sarcastic today: "Ah, I know everyone misses Your Highness, but Your Highness must have been exhausted from the journey, so you need to rest."
Yun Yuxi, who was clearly a god but lacked a sense of presence, nodded in agreement. He casually picked up a delicate snack from his plate, but before he could swallow a single bite, he saw a figure sprawled on the open space in the center of the hall. In the shadows to the side, a pair of clear, beautiful, gem-like red eyes flashed. The black-haired young man slowly emerged from the darkness, raised his hands, and gently clapped his hands. Warm yellow lights lit up in sequence, filling the entire hall.
The sound of his steady footsteps gradually approached, becoming clearer and clearer until it disappeared at a certain moment. At the same time, the pair of exquisitely crafted shoes appeared in front of the cat-eared beastman. He looked up, tears welling in his eyes, and said loudly with a sincere expression, "I'm sorry! It's my fault! I deserve to die!"
At the end, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice as if he was sincerely repentant, but because his injuries were too severe and he had no strength, the force was a little weak.
The self-torture trick accurately hit Wen Yuxiao's kindness, and the other party really did nothing. When they met again, his face had changed and was covered with blood, looking dejected and miserable.
Wen Yuxiao cleared his throat and was about to give the man a few words of lecture before letting him go. The white-haired young man, who had been holding his hand until now, stepped forward and spoke in an icy voice. His words were like the falling sword of Damocles, ruthlessly declaring the other's fate: "For selling information about His Highness, you shall indeed be put to death."
"Trafficking intel?" Wen Yuxiao couldn't help but think of what she and Yun Yuxi had done in the Black Domain. It could only be described as a superpower. If this special feature was widely publicized, there would definitely be trouble in the future. They also discussed and planned to force Tafei to sign a contract. If he leaked any information about the two of them, he would become an orange cat working in a cat cafe for fifty years and be abused.
As a result, before the man came to fulfill his promise, he ran away as soon as he left the black area, so we captured him.
"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing Wen Yuxiao's bewildered expression, the wealthy businessman stood aside and explained to her softly, "He's a famous intelligence dealer wanted by multiple civilizations. He's cunning and treacherous, with a bounty of 100 million contribution points. He claims he'll even venture into the Black Territory if the price is high enough. He just didn't mess with us before, but now he's actually daring to reach out to Your Highness..."
"I will execute him myself." The silver-haired young man looked down at the orc lying on the ground and shivering, his beautiful purple eyes filled with cruel murderous intent. If Wen Yuxiao had not been standing here, he would have wrapped the man into a cocoon with silk thread and swallowed him up.
"No," the orc quietly defended himself. Seeing no one spoke to stop him, he continued, "I haven't had time to sell it yet. Besides, I only plan to sell information about the Black Domain. This lady...ah no, Your Highness, I won't reveal a single word of your information!"
As he spoke, he became more and more excited, and his voice became louder, as if this could prove his sincerity. After all, anyone who still couldn't see that Wen Yuxiao was the center of this group was a fool. Fortunately, this person had a kind heart that was very rare in the harsh interstellar environment, so he could use his usual deceptive tactics.
If the only ones dealing with him today were these monsters of unknown strength and race, he would not have had any chance to open his mouth and say such a long string of words. He would have been ruthlessly killed the first time he saw them.
"Selling information..." Wen Yuxiao thought for a moment and released the hand that was restraining the little monster. The latter rubbed against her like a spoiled child, as if asking for a hug. Unfortunately, she was dealing with other things at the moment and it was inconvenient.
She gestured towards Yun Yuxi, who was secretly eating at the edge of the room, and said, "Stop eating and come here. You're also involved in this."
The unreliable god quickly devoured the last flavor of snack, wiped the snack crumbs from the corner of his mouth, and clapped his hands casually: "Oh, here it comes."
The two looked at each other without saying a word. The cat-eared beastman trembled more and more violently in the silent atmosphere, fearing that he would die in the next second. Unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was a contract.
"Go work in a cat cafe to atone for your sins." After coming out of the Black Domain, Yun Yuxi suffered from contract PTSD. He couldn't stand looking at documents written in black and white. But when he thought that someone was about to sign a contract to work like him, he suddenly got excited. He fabricated the contract with the details already discussed out of thin air and handed it to the orc.
Cat cafe… When the orc mentioned this word, countless dark places full of crime and violence came to his mind. The miserable screams of his fellow creatures whom he had harmed also echoed in his ears. But he could not care less. His intuition told him that if he rejected the contract, he would die on the spot. He rubbed the wound on his forehead with his fingers. He did not even have time to read the terms and conditions. He could not wait to press a bloody handprint and waited anxiously for his own end.
As soon as he pressed his handprint, Yun Yuxi, who was waiting over there, grinned happily and placed his hand on the orc's head. Starlight filled his entire body: "3, 2, 1! Ding ding ding ding - it's a freshly baked kitten."
In a pile of clothes, the orange cat stared with its eyes wide open, looking up at the people surrounding it helplessly. When it opened its mouth, it could only make a meowing sound.
Its expression suddenly became extremely terrified. Before it could escape, Yun Yuxi reached out and grabbed the back of Destiny's neck. The god laughed and said, "Come and work with me, Meow-san!"
