Chapter 54: Master and Master's Black Market Master Disappears
Nan Qi was not lying. He could really disguise himself as a star beast temporarily by controlling his mental power.
However, he could not fully display the state of the Star Beast Clan. After all, his spiritual body was a nine-tailed cat. Even if it could fly, it did not have bird wings. He could not control his mental power to create something out of nothing, but he could still turn cat claws into bird claws.
Ever since the seven-colored stone came out, Nan Qi didn't say it, but he had no intention of giving the seven-colored stone to his clan.
For some reason, he always paid special attention to the colorful stones, and the first time he found the colorful stones, he knew the function of the colorful stones.
Bai and the others all thought that he conducted experiments because he found the colorful stones in the mine and saw their effects. In fact, he conducted experiments because he vaguely knew how to use the colorful stones.
He will set his sights on the Insect King's private vault. In addition to angering the Insect King, he also wants to find out whether there are any colorful stones in the Insect King's private vault.
I just didn’t expect that before entering the Insect King’s private vault, there would be an unexpected surprise on the black market.
Bai didn't want Nan Qi to fight for the colorful stone, but seeing that Nan Qi was eager to try, he agreed.
Nan Qi is not his appendage, nor is he his subordinate. His ability is above his. Fighting for the seven-colored stones is also for their common goal. He cannot be so ungrateful as to stop Nan Qi.
Anyway, since he is by Nan Qi's side, he will definitely protect Nan Qi, and if something really happens, he will step in to stop it.
After thinking about all this for a moment, Bai still held Nan Qi's hand and whispered:
"If you don't want to reveal your identity, you can't use your full strength. There are many black market masters and many conspiracies. Remember not to get yourself hurt. This thing is not as important as you."
Nan Qi nodded obediently: "Don't worry, I will definitely put safety first. If the situation is not right, I will admit defeat and not let you worry."
After saying that, Nan Qi stood up and went to register with the senior management. Bai wanted to follow him, but Nan Qi stopped him and asked him to wait here. He also talked to Mang in the front row for a few words, asking him not to leave Bai alone.
Mang nodded in agreement. After Nan Qi left, he said to Bai, "Don't worry, just let your little lover go up."
Bai was slightly startled, then heard Mang laugh out loud: "Brother, I also have a lover. I can see the feelings between you two."
"Brother Mang is very meticulous." Bai said calmly, "If he wants to go, I'll let him go. He knows his limits and is very capable."
Mang didn't expect Bai to think so highly of Nan Qi: "Since Brother Hei said so, I'd like to see what Brother Bei can do."
As he was speaking, Nan Qi had already stepped onto the stage. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he revealed his hard sharp claws, which startled the star beast on the opposite side.
Nan Qi seized the opportunity and struck directly with a claw. The star beast on the opposite side did not see Nan Qi's speed so fast, and felt a chill on its neck, and a bloody line immediately appeared on its neck.
The star beast touched his neck and saw a trace of scarlet on his hand. His eyes flashed red and he said, "Little beast."
Nan Qi replied with a smile: "Yes, from the same clan as you."
Star Beast: "...You're just talking nonsense, go to hell!"
"That's exactly what I meant." Nan Qi kicked the star beast straight in the face.
The star beast blocked it, and suddenly opened its mouth, and a tiny needle shot towards Nan Qi. Nan Qi's pupils shrank instantly, and his eyes became sharp instantly.
This needle was exactly the same as the one used by his opponent in the rematch of the Brave Fighter game.
This injection has caused many male insects to remain unconscious until now.
The official of the Dragon Fighting game said that the cause of the incident would be announced within 7 days, but now it is the sixth day and the official announcement has not been released yet. I didn’t expect to encounter it on a whim today.
Nan Qi showed no mercy to his men. His mental power lingered over the entire gambling arena, and every move of the star beast was under his surveillance.
Nan Qi's move was as fast as lightning. After knocking the needle away with one claw, he moved forward directly, transformed his claw into a palm, and broke the star beast's ribs with one palm.
The star beast was in pain and moved slowly. Nan Qi kicked the star beast in the waist and sent it flying. Then he approached closely and whispered to the devil, "Look into my eyes."
The star beast was hit hard twice, and his brain was numb with pain. Nan Qi's words seemed to be chiseled into his head, and he couldn't help but look into Nan Qi's eyes.
A hint of green flashed in Nan Qi's eyes, and the star beast's eyes immediately stiffened, and its body fell to the ground and knelt in front of Nan Qi.
Nan Qi leaned forward slightly, and approached the Star Beast's ear as if approaching a lover, and whispered softly: "Who gave you this needle? Is the male insect's coma in the Brave Fighting Game related to you, or is it related to the forces behind you?"
The Star Beast Machine replied: "My Lord, has power, power..."
When talking about power, the star beast's stiff and dull eyes began to struggle, but then returned to their dull appearance. Nan Qi frowned and kicked the star beast off the gambling stage.
A spiritual mark had long been planted in this star's spiritual sea. As long as key questions were asked, the spiritual mark in his spiritual sea would be instantly activated, destroying his spiritual sea and preventing the secret from being leaked.
It seems that the events that occurred in the Brave Fighting Game involve a lot of things, and at present, it seems to be no different from the Star Beast Clan.
On the stage, Nan Qi became the winner.
In the audience, Mang's eyes widened like bells. After a long pause, he said, "This little brother Bei is surprisingly powerful, and his temperament is different from any Star Beast I've ever met. You too, if it weren't for the characteristics revealed by little brother Bei, I wouldn't have realized he was a Star Beast."
Bai's eyes moved slightly: "He's fine."
Mang laughed out loud: "Brother Hei, don't blame me. I just speak my mind. I don't mean to belittle your clan."
Although Mang said this, Bai could still see the alienation in his eyes, and his previous enthusiasm had faded a lot.
Bai Ming understood that the Rock Clan and the Star Beast Clan often fought over business. The two sides were not mortal enemies, but they could not get along with each other.
Most star beasts have bad tempers, while the rock tribe is honest but not very good-tempered either. When the two tribes meet, they almost always fight. He and Nan Qi are star beasts now, so it is normal for Mang to dislike them.
Bai treated Mang the same as always: "Don't worry, Brother Mang, we are not the kind of bad-tempered star beasts, and we will not easily conflict with the Rock Tribe."
Mang remained silent, but his attitude softened again.
Nan Qi became the winner, and after five more rounds, no one came to sign a life-or-death bet, and the prize, the colorful stone, became Nan Qi's spoils of war.
Nan Qi came back with the colorful stone, said goodbye to Mang, took Bai's hand and turned away.
It was not until he left the black market and returned home that Nan Qi expressed his doubts.
"Bai, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that today's gambling fight is a bit too simple."
"I feel the same way," Bai asked, "What did you feel on the gambling stage?"
Nan Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I went to the gambling arena late. Apart from the Star Beast, who gave me a feeling that I had to win, the opponents of Wu Chang all felt like they had to finish the fight and go home quickly."
"Ah..." This novel metaphor left Bai speechless for a moment, but he also understood what Nan Qi meant.
"Are you saying they deliberately let you win so that the Colorful Stone would fall into our hands?"
"Yeah." Nan Qi nodded. "But if that's the case, then the only one who could have orchestrated all this is probably the Black Market Lord. But why would he do this?"
"Does he want to help us, or does he have other motives? Isn't the black market required to remain neutral?"
Bai didn't know either, but he believed Nan Qi's feelings.
"I'll have our bugs carefully spy on the black market. If a force like that wants to plot against us, even if we know about it, we probably won't be able to stop it. Relax for now. As for this seven-colored stone, I'll leave it in your hands for now."
"Okay, I'll keep it for now. When we find a new one, we'll try this thing out on my fiefdom." As Nan Qi spoke, the space behind him suddenly twisted and cracked, and a pitch-black hole appeared behind Nan Qi.
The energy in the hole exuded a terrifying smell. Bai had only felt this energy near black holes and in violent wormholes.
Throwing the colorful stone in, the black hole instantly returned to its original state. Nan Qi clapped his hands: "It's solved. Now no one can find it except me."
When he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Bai's gaze. Nan Qi scratched his cheek embarrassedly: "Well, this is the ability I just recovered. Once this ability is restored, it will be safer for us to steal the things of the Insect King."
Bai nodded without expressing any opinion. He was just thinking that Nan Qi's spatial power was somewhat against the will of heaven. After his spiritual body condensed, his mental power would definitely increase, and he wondered if he would also have special abilities.
If so, I am really looking forward to what his abilities would be.
Nan Qi didn't know what Bai was thinking, so he talked about the star beast on the gambling stage again.
Bai didn't expect that these things would happen. He had previously thought that Nan Qi was being mean and was just mocking the star beast with words, but he didn't expect it was because of this.
"I'll have Chong investigate this matter. Tomorrow is the last day, so let's see how the official responds."
"Okay then, I won't worry about it. I'm going to take a shower first. Don't work too late."
After saying that, Nan Qi strolled upstairs to take a shower, while Bai Ze began to arrange work.
Today's trip to the black market was truly a mix of surprises and benefits.
＊
Black market, on the top floor of the tallest building.
Aiyou Percy pushed his wheelchair to the floor-to-ceiling window, and the game on the gambling arena was replayed on the virtual big screen behind him.
Amidst the audience's passionate roars, Prince Keppel, the gentle male insect in a wheelchair, spoke up, "The one competing isn't Bai. The one beside him must not be a star beast, but he can disguise himself as one. He must be his male master. This male master is very special, unlike other male insects."
He turned around and looked at Ai You's elegant and handsome face, his eyes full of smiles: "Bai and the others suddenly started exchanging and selling a large number of high-grade black crystal stones. It is very likely related to this hero."
"You released the seven-colored stone this time to divert Bai and the others' attention and remind Bai of the existence of the seven-colored stone. Everything you did was because Bai has a male master. You are very optimistic about this SSS-level male insect that suddenly appeared."
"Isn't it the same for you?" Aiyou walked to the side of the wheelchair and squatted down, reaching out to touch Keppel's cold face: "I know what you are thinking. I also said that I will find him as soon as possible. You will be fine."
Keppel nuzzled Aiyou's palm and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I can accompany you for another twenty years. By the way, as your master, shouldn't you prepare a gift for us?"
Aiyou Percy: "..."
Although this male insect looked good, he still felt uncomfortable that his beloved disciple was abducted.
"I understand. You, as the master, have to give it too."
"I know, I know. You and Bai haven't seen each other for a year. I'll find a chance for you to chat for a while during the palace banquet. I'm sorry I've wronged you." Keppel's eyes flashed with guilt. "Because of me, you're away from the military and can only help children in the black market."
"Don't say that. If you hadn't saved me, my fate would be tragic." Ai You shook his head. "Besides, my leaving isn't all bad. The children are growing up quickly, and I can go from the light to the dark. The future belongs to them. All we can do is support them from behind."
"Yeah, when this is over, we'll go live on a planet with spring all year round." Keppel held Aiyou's hand. "Then let's get a few cats and a few dogs and watch them fight, okay?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Ai You's eyes, and he nodded softly.
Then he got up and pushed the wheelchair into the bedroom, carried Keppel to the bed, and let him sleep before leaving.
He had to speed up the search for the black market lord. He didn't know where this guy had gone. He disappeared when he went out three years ago. From the mental threads he left behind, he could tell that he was still alive, but he just couldn't find him.
Keppel is getting weaker and weaker. He wants to find the owner of the black market and ask him to keep Keppel safe.
