Chapter 179 You've never seen me look so youthful...
The Kron galaxy is too remote and the environment is too harsh to be suitable for living, so there is definitely no entrance to the black market.
The closest black market entrance to the Kron galaxy is on the United Army's supply planet.
It’s just that because the supply planet is almost entirely populated by the military of various countries and there are not many ordinary residents, the entrance to the black market is not open every day, and is only open in the middle and end of the month.
It happened that the middle of the month would be in two days, and it would be no problem for Nan Qi to enter the black market from the supply planet, but Bai hesitated.
He had to stay here, and he was not at ease sending anyone to accompany Nan Qi, but for both public and private reasons he could not stop Nan Qi from looking for his true wish.
Nan Qi wasn't a cute cat he kept in his palm, but a god who looked down on all heroes and could save the world. He should have trusted Nan Qi's strength more, but...
Bai lowered his eyes, unable to explain what he felt in his heart, and did not answer Nan Qi's question for a long time.
Nan Qi felt a little strange and lowered his head to look at Bai, only to see Bai turn his face away and not let him look.
Did you say something wrong and cause a quarrel?
Nan Qi rolled his eyes, thinking about their conversation, and after a moment he had the answer.
He reached out and pinched Bai's chin, gently turning Bai's face around. He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose against Bai's: "Are you worried about me?"
Bai said nothing, his tightly pursed lips revealing his thoughts.
Nan Qi chuckled, a hearty and comfortable laugh.
In his previous life, he was the most powerful being, and no one worried about him. Everyone felt that if Nan Qi couldn't make it, couldn't hold on, then the rest of them wouldn't either, and would die sooner or later.
But they don’t know that worry and concern are always the motivation for the soldiers to come back alive.
He hadn't felt the feeling of being worried and concerned for a long time.
After giving Bai a deep kiss on the cheek, Nan Qi said with a smile in his voice, but very seriously: "I just like that you care about me."
After being exposed by Nan Qi, Bai wanted to find a hole to crawl into for a moment, but when he saw Nan Qi's extremely serious eyes hidden behind his smile, he was stunned.
"You..." Bai slowly reached out to touch Nan Qi's eyes, but Nan Qi held his hand and placed it on his chest.
Nan Qi: "Bai, I didn't lie to you. It feels so good to be cared for. I really like it."
The accelerated heartbeat under his palm confirmed Nan Qi's joy. Bai gradually relaxed and leaned into Nan Qi's arms: "Don't you think I underestimate your strength?"
Nan Qi shook his head: "Bai, there is a sentence in my previous life that fits your current mood very well."
Bai looked at Nan Qi with her beautiful eyes. Nan Qi nuzzled Bai's face and said in a low voice with a hint of ethereal divinity, "Love brings worry, love brings fear. You have concerns because you love me too much. This has nothing to do with whether you believe in me or how strong I am."
"I really like the feeling of being cared about by you." Nan Qi's eyes were full of tenderness, but his voice was full of seriousness, "So, please continue to care about me."
Nan Qi's words dispelled Bai's anxiety, but made him feel even worse.
How miserable was Nan Qi's previous life? That he was so happy just because I was worried about him.
Holding Nan Qi's face with both hands, Bai lowered his head and touched his forehead to Nan Qi's, tender affection flowing between their eyes.
"Nan Qi," Bai said softly, "Go. I will always care about you, so when you make any decision, please think about me who is thinking about you."
"Okay~" Nan Qi agreed with a smile.
"I asked Lunke to go with you, and you can't refuse." At this point, Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and said angrily, "When you come back from the black market, I will settle the score with you two for the tricks you two have done!"
Nan Qi felt guilty. Bai heard everything through the little butterfly and knew that it was he who asked Lunke to deliver the blood sample.
"Well, I don't know what Lenk is." Nan Qi felt that he was responsible for his own actions, but when he saw Bai glaring at him fiercely, he didn't dare to argue anymore.
Seeing that Nan Qi didn't dare to talk back and looked embarrassed, Bai's heart softened and his voice softened: "I know you don't want me to be distracted too much at this critical moment."
"But Nan Qi, we are partners and we are one, so I don't want to hear about your affairs from him. I also don't want you to give up making me your first choice because of various concerns when you can clearly ask me for help."
Bai Bing's blue eyes looked at Nan Qi with a clear gaze. Although they were icy blue, they were so hot that they seemed to burn Nan Qi:
"Nan Qi, tell me, do you want me to be your first choice forever?"
Nan Qi's Adam's apple throbbed. Bai's words were no less than a passionate confession. How could they not move Nan Qi?
The gentle big hand clasped Bai's head, pressed Bai towards him with a force that Bai could not refuse, and kissed him eagerly.
This kiss was neither gentle nor affectionate, and even carried a hint of destruction.
Bai accepted it all, hooked his arms around Nan Qi's neck, and kissed him back deeper and harder, until a hint of fishy and sweet taste swirled on the tips of their tongues, and then they let each other go and smiled brightly.
Looking at Bai's lips that were red and swollen from being kissed and bitten by him, Nan Qi kissed him lightly twice more, and then put his big hand on the back of Bai's head and stroked it gently to comfort him.
After a moment, he chuckled softly, his eyes filled with determination and seriousness: "Bai, you will always be my first choice!"
Bai's smile grew wider, his voice choking a little as he said, "Well, you will always be my first choice. We will be together forever, even if we die, we will die together."
Holding Bai in his arms, Nan Qi whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, we will all live well and work hard together."
"Yeah." Bai Wo nodded obediently in Nan Qi's arms, and Nan Qi's heart softened when he heard his soft voice.
He felt that he was really lucky. Meeting Bai, whose heart and eyes were filled with love for him, was the happiest thing in his life. So he would not allow anything to stop him and Bai from being together until the end, not even "himself".
Bai did not return to the command room in the end. After he and Nan Qi once again communicated with each other, he was defeated by his own selfishness for the first time. He wanted to stay with Nan Qi and enjoy the atmosphere of love.
Two days passed in a flash. In the early morning, Bai personally sent Nan Qi to the logistics starship to the supply planet. At the roar of the starship starting up, Bai's eyes felt a little sore.
Not until the starship disappeared into the horizon did he finally have the mood to look at Murphy, who had strolled over at some point in time.
Murphy hadn't intended to hide, but when he noticed Bai looking at him, he waved at Bai in a good mood.
Bai: "...Brother Murphy is still awake so late."
Murphy: "You didn't sleep either."
white:"……"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm here to find you." Murphy said seriously, "Did Nan Qi discover something? Did he take any action?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Bai didn't answer and turned around to walk back. Murphy understood and followed him back. When passing by the command room, Bai went in to take a look. After making sure that the thieves didn't make any moves, he walked towards his tent.
Back at the tent, Murphy poured himself a cup of tea, sat on the sofa and took a sip, sighing, "Nan Qi really has good taste. The tea he chose is much better than what I brought. All the tea he gave me before was divided up by those guys."
Bai smiled and said, "Brother Murphy can take some back later. Nan Qi brought out a lot this time."
Murphy put down the cup, leaned forward slightly and looked at Bai who was sitting opposite him, and smiled heartily: "That's great, I have to bring two kilograms back later."
Bai: "You're welcome, Brother Murphy."
The man and the bug chatted about all sorts of things for a while before Murphy stopped talking and got to the point: "You're going to see Brother Nan Qi off, right? Are you worried that the subsequent battle will put him in danger?"
"Brother Murphy, there's no need to test me," Bai refilled Murphy's tea and said calmly, "I did send Nan Qi out, but it wasn't because I was afraid he would be in danger. He wouldn't put himself in danger."
"Oh? How do you mean?" Murphy became interested.
Although I knew that Bai sent Nan Qi out not because he was afraid of being affected by the battle, I didn't expect Bai to say that, as if he was very confident in Nan Qi's strength.
He knew that Nan Qi was powerful. He had once felt an extremely dangerous aura from Nan Qi and had seen Nan Qi moving freely in the storm. However, due to his racial characteristics, Nan Qi was a male insect and was at a disadvantage in terms of innate conditions. Even if he became more powerful, how powerful could he be?
Rather than believing in martial arts, he would rather believe that Nan Qi was superior in intelligence. In any case, he had never gained any advantage in dealing with Nan Qi.
Bai smiled slightly, but didn't answer Murphy. Instead, he said, "I sent Nan Qi out because I found some clues about number seven. I couldn't leave, so he had to go and verify it."
"Hey, why didn't you tell me, brother? I could have sent someone to go with you, it would have been safer." Murphy's attention was immediately diverted, and he babbled, "Look at you, you're being so formal. We're all in this together, so don't be reluctant to use my people. Don't you trust me?"
"Brother Murphy, please be patient." Bai raised his hand to interrupt Murphy's nagging, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that Nan Qi and Lun Ke are enough. If there are more people, they will become a bigger target and it will be difficult to escape."
Murphy frowned, and Bai continued, "I'm dissatisfied with Brother Murphy. Even I can't fathom Nan Qi's strength. He's a surprise to the Zerg."
Bai's words stopped there. Murphy, who was rough but sensitive, understood what he meant instantly and looked at Bai in surprise. He seemed to have not expected Bai to have such a high opinion of Nan Qi, and was suddenly speechless.
"Um, him, Brother Bai, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that..." Murphy racked his brains but couldn't think of the right words, and his face turned red.
It's quite strange that such a big man could be so depressed.
Bai looked at him for a while and explained, "I understand Brother Murphy's concerns. I believe in Nan Qi, and I hope you believe in me. There's no need for me to lie to you. I want him to be safe more than you."
Murphy was silent. He couldn't refute Bai's words. He saw the relationship between Bai and Nan Qi. It was not something that could be acted out.
"Okay, since I've decided to cooperate with you, I naturally trust you. I just hope that next time something like this happens, Brother Bai can be so kind as to inform me so I can do my part."
"I will." Bai nodded. "Don't worry, Brother Murphy. Since we're already cooperating, I won't do anything that will harm the interests of our partners. When Nan Qi comes back, I'll share any news with Brother Murphy."
"Hey, I'm relieved to hear you say that." Murphy drank the tea in his cup, stood up and patted Bai's shoulder. "Don't see me off. You should have a good rest. Those bastards have been quiet for long enough. I guess they'll make some moves in the next couple of days. I'll have to rely on you to take charge."
After saying this, Murphy strolled out the door and disappeared into the dark night.
Bai looked at the door closed by Murphy for a long time, sighed softly, he was still worried.
"I hope everything goes well." With a sigh, Bai returned to the bedroom.
Instead of resting, he opened the terminal and started dealing with the official business that had piled up in the past two days.
At the same time, it was already afternoon on the central star that was separated from the Kron Galaxy by a time difference.
Ever since Keppel communicated with Nan Qi, his mentality has become more stable. Even the news brought back by the third consul Milne Smith that "the Insect King wants to install a control and disruption system in the main brain system" did not cause him to fluctuate too much.
Aiyou was very confused about this, but Keppel gave him a meaningful smile and told him not to worry.
When asked what happened, Keppel refused to say anything, which made Aiyou a little angry. However, when he thought that Keppel was in good health, he couldn't bear to beat him and could only sulk by himself.
Then, Keppel came up to him and told him that it was not the time to reveal the truth yet, and he would tell him as soon as the time came.
Ai You was overwhelmed and could only ignore it.
He believed that Keppel knew his limits and would not joke about such an important matter, so he just let him go and focused on training soldiers every day. In addition, he carefully encircled and suppressed the enemy on the central planet according to the laboratory map given by No. 7.
Because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Insect King, he had been very cautious these days and only surrounded and killed two of them, but the evidence he obtained had already shocked Ai You.
Ai You couldn't even imagine what was inside the Imperial Research Institute, the source of the experiment, and how cruel and bloody it was.
Once things got busy, Aiyou could no longer take adequate care of Kepel, and she came back every day worried that Kepel would get sick.
Keppel understood that after Pu Bo's treatment, although the poison had not been completely eliminated, Ai You was getting healthier day by day. Ai You breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Ai You's nervous look, Keppel felt very sweet in his heart, but he did not tell Ai You that his current health was not entirely due to Pu Bo's treatment. The most important thing was that he practiced the spiritual body condensation method created by Nan Qi.
He took advantage of Nan Qi's misfortune to get it when he asked him for help.
Nan Qi seemed threatened by him, but in reality he was taking advantage of the situation. He knew that his physical condition was suitable, and he had confirmed that the spirit body condensation method would not harm the Zerg, so he gave the skills to him.
Keppel admired the young man's profound thoughts, but then he nearly choked to death when he realized he might be older than his great-great-great-grandfather.
Of course, he didn't tell Ai You all this, besides it was not the right time to tell her yet, he was also waiting for the final news from Nan Qi.
On the other side, Nan Qi and Lunk had entered the black market through the black market teleportation array on the supply star.
The black market was as bustling as ever, and everything was normal except that Fengshenghelilou was still closed.
Nan Qi and Lunke stood in front of the Fengshengheli Tower, looking at the ancient plaque on it, and felt as if they were in another world.
As if knowing he would come, after standing at the door for less than a minute, the door of Fengshengheli Tower, which had not been opened since it was closed, slammed open.
Rows of figures walked out one after another, lined up on both sides, and stretched out their hands to make a "come in" gesture.
The scene was too weird. Lunk quickly stepped forward and instinctively blocked Nan Qi behind him.
Nan Qi patted Lunke's arm, whispered that he didn't need to worry, and walked around Lunke and forward.
Lunke was anxious: "Wait..."
Nan Qi turned around and said, "Don't worry, they have no ill intentions and are all lined up to welcome me."
As if echoing Nan Qi's words, the two sides lined up in unison: "Welcome~"
Nan Qi smiled slightly: "Look, don't worry."
Seeing this, Lunke couldn't stop Nan Qi anymore. They came here just for the Fengshengheli Tower. If the Fengshengheli Tower was closed, they would have to find a way to get in. Now that it was open, they really couldn't not go in.
However, Lunke still pulled Nan Qi behind him and whispered, "I'll go first."
He knew how powerful Nan Qi was, but no matter how powerful he was, it didn't mean he wouldn't get hurt or die.
Nan Qi is Bai's partner and his friend. Whether for Bai's sake or to avoid reproaching his own conscience, he cannot let Nan Qi take the lead at this time.
Nan Qi accepted Lunke's kindness with a smile. He did not scold Lunke for being so nervous, but followed Lunke leisurely and walked into the Fengshengheli Tower.
As the two of them entered, the door of Fengshengheli Tower closed again.
Soon, the waiters who lined up to welcome them left, leaving only Nan Qi and Lunke standing in the dimly lit and silent lobby.
In the eerie silence, Lunk's already tense nerves immediately tensed up.
Nan Qi couldn't bear to see Lunke like this, so he shook his head and said loudly, "Your Excellency, you waited for me to come here just to let me see how magnificent your lobby is, right?"
Papapapa, accompanied by the applause, came a low and magnetic voice, very unfamiliar but to Nan Qi it felt very familiar: "I haven't seen you look so youthful before, haven't I been stunned for a moment? Please forgive me."
Nan Qi frowned and looked at the creature who was lying on the railing and looking at him. He had a handsome face but pale complexion, and his eyes were like gems embedded in luxurious jewelry. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Do you know me?"
