Chapter 141: All parties are prepared to be poor and humble
The nine-tailed black cat was very satisfied with Bai's expression. He stood up modestly, shook his nine furry tails gently, and walked towards Bai with an elegant cat step.
Then it squatted down at an arm's length away from Bai. The long, clever fur on the tips of its ears trembled because of his movement. The emerald green cat's eyes were magnified in the backlight environment, and they were as crystal clear as the flesh of round, peeled grapes.
Bai's heart was almost melted by the cuteness of the little guy in front of him. If he didn't have a lot of questions to ask, he would have picked up the little black cat and started petting it.
The little black cat seemed to have seen through Bai's thoughts, and stood up and took another step. This time, he didn't stop and jumped directly onto Bai's knees. He raised his two front paws, hooked Bai's pajamas, and jumped lightly onto Bai's shoulders.
Then, he tilted his head, opened his eyes wide, looked at Bai for a moment, and began to rub.
The furry little cat's head rubbed against Bai's neck and cheeks so softly that all Bai's problems were thrown away. He hugged the little black cat on his shoulder and stroked it from head to toe, then started rubbing.
After the bug and the cat had finally rubbed enough, Bai put Nan Qi, whose fur had been rubbed to the point of ruffled, on his lap, coughed lightly, and prepared to "interrogate" him.
"Can you... speak now?" Bai asked the first question cautiously.
The little black cat nodded immediately and spoke in Common with a smile in his voice: "Bai, are you scared by me? I just spoke."
white:"……"
Oh, yes, Nan Qi just greeted me and asked me if I was handsome.
But you can't blame me for forgetting. I was startled by Nan Qi's appearance at the time, and then I was completely carried away by Nan Qi's rubbing against me, so it was all Nan Qi's fault, not me who was scared.
Bai quickly found a perfect excuse for himself and firmly denied the rumor that he was frightened.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What's your current condition? Is this the form after the spirit body is completely possessed as you said?" Bai was curious.
"Well, this is the complete form." Nan Qi's little cat body turned around on Bai's legs, and its big tail spread out like a fan, looking gorgeous and beautiful.
Bai couldn't help but reach out and gently grasp a cat's tail. The touch of the fur in his palm made him feel very comfortable. "Is it only this big?"
"Of course not." Nan Qi's kitten face was tilted up, and his other tail was wrapped around Bai's wrist. There was a hint of arrogance in his voice. "You have seen my spiritual form, right? My true complete form is twice as big as my physical form back then."
Bai recalled the first time Nan Qi sparred with Meilong and Pu Bo. The cat, as graceful and dangerous as an ancient beast, opened its mouth slowly and stammered, repeating Bai's words: "Two, two times?"
"Yes, twice as much. After I fully recovered, the energy of my spiritual body fed back into me, and my physical strength increased significantly. All my attributes were fully upgraded. Very few drugs can harm me anymore."
"If they use force instead of drugs, that would be perfect for me. That way, I can catch a few more at once and leave them for you to play with!"
"You are so naughty." Bai laughed, stretched out his slender fingers and gently tapped the little black cat's head.
Nan Qi took advantage of his cute kitten appearance and rubbed his head against Bai without any shame. He even rolled on Bai's legs, exposing his soft belly to entice Bai to touch him.
How could Bai resist the temptation? He threw away his reserve and hugged Nanqi's little black cat's body and sucked it wildly. He had the potential to be a cat slave.
After the two insects had enough of their fight, Nan Qi jumped off Bai's lap, retracted his spirit form, transformed back, and took Bai into his arms again. He smiled and said, "This is all thanks to you. Your spirit power has accelerated the recovery of the injuries in my spiritual sea."
"When will my mental power help..." Before you could finish your words, Bai suddenly remembered the process of their mental powers being entangled, and his face turned red.
Nan Qi liked to see Bai like this the most. He bent down and kissed Bai's forehead, saying affectionately, "You are a hero."
"No way." Bai glanced at Nan Qi sheepishly and said in a low voice, "It's broad daylight, stop talking."
"Then can Hei Tian tell it?" Nan Qi teased, "I'm pulling all the curtains now, just think of it as Hei Tian."
“…”
Bai Dada rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "I understand what you mean. I agree with your plan, but you have to promise me that if anything goes wrong, you will withdraw immediately."
"If Jordi Collet tries to stop you, you'll kill him. He's been the Insect King's most loyal lackey for so many years, and his hands are stained with the blood of countless insects. He's not innocent, so don't feel any burden."
Afraid that Nan Qi wouldn't be able to do it, Bai thought for a moment and said, "I'm not lying to you. He really has done a lot of evil. I didn't ask Chong to sort out his information and send it to you."
"No need for information, I trust you. Don't worry, I'm not a soft-hearted person, I won't let go of anyone who is against me." Nan Qi felt that Bai's understanding of him seemed a little biased, and he always thought that he was some kind of bright and sunny bug.
In fact, he was a man who treated his enemies cruelly in his previous life, and in this life he was a bug who treated his enemy cruelly and mercilessly.
In both his lifetimes, he will never be able to become a compassionate and merciful Bodhisattva who helps people overcome suffering.
But there is no need to explain these to Bai. He is still very happy that he has a good image in the heart of his favorite insect.
After hugging Bai for a while, Nan Qi sent a message to Jody Collet, asking him to meet up that afternoon. Soon, Jody Collet replied, setting the meeting place at the Donner Shopping Center on Donner Street, the most prosperous commercial street on Central Star.
Nan Qi raised his eyebrows and chatted with Bai: "Is he planning to use money to make me surrender? Doesn't he know that I am the most poor and humble person who can't be moved?"
"Maybe I just want to buy you a cup of coffee." Bai said, "There's the best coffee shop on the top floor of Donner Shopping Center."
Nan Qi rebelled instantly: "Then he should just use money to attack, it would be a waste if he doesn't spend it!"
white:"……"
What happened to the agreement that poverty and humbleness cannot be changed?
The two insects huddled together and chirped for a while, Jody Collet and the Insect King Hoover Walker, before getting up to eat.
Today Bai has to go back to the military headquarters to report on some work, and also has to go to the joint army.
Since this joint anti-bandit operation was orchestrated and commanded by the Zerg, the training location of the joint army was placed in the Tro system where the Empire was located.
In order to prevent other countries from taking advantage of the opportunity of joint military training to pry into imperial secrets, the site selection and protection of the training camp are particularly important.
So when choosing the site, General Bai chose a deserted planet under the jurisdiction of Cexing for the training camp.
This planet has no adjacent life planets on all sides, and the terrain is flat, making it difficult to hide. After the transportation and living creatures entering and leaving are strictly guarded, their chances of leaving the training camp are almost eliminated.
Besides the pilot, no one knew which planet they were on. After completing their mission, the pilot was also placed under strict supervision.
This approach is intended to prevent the imperial secrets from being stolen and to protect the united forces.
The joint anti-bandit campaign by various countries is secretive, but there is no guarantee that other powerful forces will know about it and take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and severely damage the armies of various countries. They have to be on guard.
Of course, the empire cannot be the only one involved in the surveillance. Other countries have also joined in to prevent the empire from taking the opportunity to kill their own military elites. The countries have restrained each other, and only then has the current situation been formed.
However, it is impossible for the empire to kill the elites of other countries. That is equivalent to declaring war on the whole world. The empire is indeed powerful, but it is not powerful enough to fight against the whole world.
Bai told Nan Qi that he had proposed a joint anti-bandit plan before, but it was rejected by the Insect Emperor with this reason. That's why this time he acted first and asked for permission later. He proposed it directly at the security conference of various countries and forced other countries to agree. Only then would the Insect Emperor agree under pressure from public opinion.
"So, you really offended him badly this time." Nan Qi sighed.
"Don't be afraid, this is a good opportunity to escape from the central star." Bai smiled brightly.
In the past, he was indeed worried that after he left the central star, it would make things more difficult for them and make them timid in doing things, which would indirectly lead to the people of the empire being harmed by those hateful interstellar thieves. Ultimately, it was his dereliction of duty as the admiral.
Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the fence. This time he must beat them until it hurts and they dare not be so arrogant again.
The expedition was imminent and the affairs were very busy, so Bai left in a hurry after breakfast.
Nan Qi looked at the time. It was still early for the time he had agreed with Jordi Collet, so he could do something else first before going to the appointment.
Perhaps he could arrive later, as this time would fit his image as an ignorant, uneducated, and arrogant fool who had become rich overnight and inflated after becoming a viscount.
Having made up his mind, Nan Qi hummed a tuneless tune as he walked upstairs. He had to go to the cloakroom to pick out a set of clothes that suited his nouveau riche taste, and then pack his luggage to see if he needed anything else.
Fighting is hard, and the environment is even more difficult. He has truly experienced this kind of hardship, and Bai has experienced it for many years.
With him here this time, the variety of food here has gradually increased, and the productivity and technology are a hundred times better than in his previous life when the industry had regressed and agriculture was barely able to survive.
Since they have enough food and drink, there is no need for him to put himself and Bai in a difficult position. His void can hold a lot of things, and the things will not go bad inside. This time he brought pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., and cooked a special meal for Bai.
After making up his mind, Nan Qi picked out his clothes and thought about what he needed. He then ordered food and other items online for delivery. As for the various electrical appliances he wanted to buy for camping and home use...
Nan Qi gave a wicked smile and left the electrical appliances to Jordi Collet. He had to save as much as possible and be thrifty.
After a short rest, Jordi Collet dragged his tired and painful body into the palace to see the Insect King and sneezed loudly.
Hoover Walker, who was in a higher position, showed a well-placed expression of concern: "I was too much last night. You should have a good rest today. There is no rush for the things I have to tell you."
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty." Jody Collet looked at Hoover Walker with a face full of gratitude and admiration. "I'm fine. I will definitely complete the task you instructed me to do. This morning, I sent a message to arrange a meeting, and the other party has agreed. If all goes well, we'll have the result in the next two days."
"Well, this matter will be entirely your responsibility. You can use whatever you need first and report it later. Go ahead." Hoover Walker pressed the bell on the table, and the insect servant entered. "Go prepare the emperor's carriage and escort Governor Jodi out of the palace."
The Insect Servant lowered his head and walked out. Jody Collet kowtowed to thank the Insect Emperor for his gift before leaving, leaving the Insect Emperor alone to sit quietly in the study.
After an unknown amount of time, a smile appeared on the corner of the Insect King's mouth, and then the smile turned into laughter.
When the insect servant who came back to report heard the laughter, he paused, shook his body like a sieve, took a deep breath and adjusted himself for a long time, then he walked into the study tremblingly to report.
Not long after, the sound of a whip breaking through the air and the insect servant's suppressed cry of pain were heard in the study.
Swinging the whip with all his might consumed most of Hoover Walker's energy. He threw down the whip and told the insect servant, who was beaten all over, to get out before he calmed his excited nerves.
Sitting in a large leather chair, Hoover Walker slowly opened his Star Brain and said to the holographic image that suddenly appeared in the room:
"Get over here! I have something for you to do. If you mess up again this time, you'll lose your position as director of the Imperial Research Institute. Go make lab supplies." Hoover Walker's lips curved into a perfect arc. "I remember your mental power is at the peak of S-rank."
