Chapter 056 I hate tails.
Wen Jiyu's gaze stopped on Snake Sister in front of Canglong.
He had a blank expression on his face. He walked to a distance that was neither too far nor too close from Canglong and the others. Then he shifted his gaze away from Sister Snake and observed Canglong and the others casually.
When his eyes swept over He Xile, he looked away in just a moment.
Wen Jiyu said lightly: "You three are no match for me."
He wasn't threatening anything, but simply stating the facts.
Okay, I don’t think you recognized me?
He Xile blinked.
He glanced at Canglong secretly and noticed the particle gun in the other's hand. He did not speak rashly, but stood quietly aside.
——On the surface, Canglong seemed to be restraining Snake Sister, who was disguised as He Xile, and holding her hostage, but because of their positions, both he and Snake Sister could clearly observe He Xile's every move.
As soon as He Xile made any movement, Canglong would immediately point the gun at He Xile and kill him easily.
He Xile is now a Haixinna person. His appearance is different from before, and he has a big furry tail behind him. His Majesty did not recognize him as a human, so he did not dare to take the risk.
Better to find a more opportune time...
He Xile frowned.
On the side, the driver looked at Wen Ji and the Cook family's clothes on his body, and was still a little confused.
He looked confused: "Mr. Joule? What you said means you want to swallow the goods?"
“…It’s Your Majesty.”
Canglong forced a sound out of his throat, his eyes fixed on Wen Jiyu warily, guarding against any sudden attack from the latter. "Did you already know that our trading partner was Joule Cook?"
Wen Jiyu raised his eyes: "Of course."
He chuckled. "I also know that the birdman contacted you, offering a price five times what the Cook family offered. But you were smart not to make a deal with him. Otherwise, you would have been dead just now behind the water curtain."
Canglong's expression changed slightly.
He Xile thought to himself, wow, even His Majesty calls the bishop of that church a birdman?
Could it be that "Birdman" is the bishop's name?
The name was chosen somewhat casually.
“Click.”
The long boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the ground.
Wen Jiyu was walking towards Canglong.
"Don't come over here."
Canglong immediately took two steps back, pressing the sharp knife in his hand against Sister Snake's throat. He threatened, "If you take another step forward, I will slit this human's throat and plunge the tip of the knife into his heart. My companions will also shoot immediately. You will be too late to save him. Once this human dies, your life will not be easy either."
Wen Jiyu looked indifferent.
He looked Canglong up and down, then suddenly raised his hand and applauded him: "How bizarre."
"No one has threatened me like this in so many years." Wen Jiyu licked his lips, his blood-red eyes were obviously stained with excitement, and the color seemed even more crimson.
——No one can remain calm after becoming your Majesty's enemy.
Canglong's hand trembled slightly for a moment, and he accidentally pressed a bloody mark on Sister Snake's neck.
The petite human being who was shackled frowned and groaned.
Canglong calmed down immediately after hearing the sound. He calmed his mind, slowly moved back with Snake Sister, and winked at He Xile.
The muzzle of the small particle gun was pointed at He Xile from behind Sister Snake: "Retreat."
Seeing this, He Xile had no choice but to move out as well.
Sudden.
"Where are you going?"
A low voice sounded, and almost instantly, He Xile felt his big tail being tightly grasped by a warm and dry hand.
He Xile: “——”
When his tail was caught, He Xile's body felt like it was electrified and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Canglong and others were shocked.
It moves so fast!
Before the leading Canglong raised his particle gun, Wen Jiyu had already held He Xile tightly behind him.
The three of them looked shocked.
...Why is this happening?
Could it be that His Majesty has already known that Sister Snake is a fake human and recognized the true human's identity???
Yes.
Otherwise, the other party would not have hidden He Xile behind him.
But, how could that be?
Canglong's disguise skills are extremely amazing, equivalent to completely changing a person. Even simple genetic testing equipment cannot detect it unless the person is taken to a regular hospital for a complete genetic scan.
That is why Canglong and others boldly brought He Xile here without fear of being discovered.
However, even in this situation, His Majesty was able to recognize humans in such a short time?
What’s going on???
Or did the humans just make some gesture to His Majesty that they didn't notice?
Sister Snake still looks like He Xile.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and she tentatively called out, "Your Majesty..."
——The voice of the speaker is exactly the same as He Xile’s.
Wen Jiyu raised his eyelids: "Hmm?"
"Won't you save me? I'm so scared."
"Why save you?"
Wen Ji and the tone were taken for granted.
He still held He Xile's big tail in his hand, tilted his head slightly, and said unhappily, "What's wrong with you? Why did you follow them when they retreated? Are you out for some fun and want to join them in becoming space pirates for some excitement?"
He Xile looked innocent: "...No, they had guns and were pointing them at me."
“Tsk.”
Wen Jiyu said, "Humans are too weak. Can a gun threaten you?"
He Xile: “…”
hateful!
There is no way to refute it!
The two people's conversation as if no one was around made Canglong grit his teeth. Knowing that his disguise plan had been exposed, he made a quick decision and stopped restraining Sister Snake. Instead, he turned over and went to a place with shelter.
The same went for Sister Snake and the driver. The three of them looked solemn and fired several shots at Wen Jiyu at the same time.
Your Majesty is too strong.
Just from a purely mental point of view, I can completely crush them.
Logically speaking, they are not opponents...
Sure enough, Wen Jiyou did not take the weapons of the three of them seriously.
Long before the particle gun shot at his body, Wen Jiyu had already predicted the trajectory of the opponent's bullet. All the places that were about to be hit flipped up tiny scales, blocking all attacks.
He even took the time to scoff: "That's it?"
"...How long will it take?" Canglong asked.
"Almost there." Sister Snake replied.
As early as before entering the room, Sister Snake took advantage of no one's attention and positioned herself on the door. She quickly operated the terminal, and with a "boom", the door of the room was blown open.
Sister Snake, still wearing He Xile's face, protected Canglong and the driver as they left.
Outside the door.
The guards were already in hiding.
As soon as the sound came from this side, they rushed over immediately.
Wen Jiyu said loudly: "Catch him alive."
This noble Majesty is not good at capturing the Haixinna people alive, he is only good at creating dead people who cannot breathe.
There is chaos outside.
Wen Jiyu no longer paid attention to it.
He turned around and saw He Xile hiding behind him tightly, not daring to move. The hair on his tail was almost all blown out, and his eyes were wide open, looking very alert. He sneered, "Are you scared?"
He Xile paused for two seconds before replying, "A little bit."
Actually it’s okay.
Standing behind Wen Ji and His Majesty, He Xile was not worried about his own safety. Instead, he was afraid that Wen Ji would get hurt.
Fortunately, His Majesty is very awesome!
But compared to these, He Xile was more curious about something else: "I was worried before, but I didn't expect you to recognize me at first sight. How did you do it?"
Wen Jiyu said nonchalantly, "You exude the scent of a human."
He Xile: “???”
...What human breath?
I don't know why it's so powerful.
He Xile: "Then what are you wearing now..."
Why is His Majesty wearing the attire of the Cook family? Are they related?
Wen Ji and Yue Yue said, "I think this suit is nice. I stole it from Joule Cook." He showed off his own clothes. "How do you think it is? Does it look good on me?"
He Xile: "... looks good."
good.
You are really worthy of it.
He Xile's anxiety was instantly dispelled by Wen Jiyu's words. He asked, "When will you let go of my tail?"
"oh."
Wen Jiyu finally let go.
He looked at He Xile's tail again and again, and finally, when He Xile was not paying attention, he reached out and touched it.
He Xile: “!!!”
Wen Jiyu: "How did you do it?"
Getting back to business, He Xile replied obediently, "The space pirate who just held humans hostage is called Canglong. He's a chameleon. His secondary ability includes helping others change their appearance. He made me look like this and disguised his companions to look like me."
Wen Ji and Wen Yan looked solemn: "..."
He looked towards the gate and said, "Looks like we can only catch two pirates."
As if to confirm Wen Jiyu's words, a guard came in a short while later and reported: "Your Majesty, we only captured two space pirates. Another one, codenamed Canglong, escaped."
His head drooped lower and lower, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
There are only three enemies.
Dozens of their guards had ambushed and captured him in advance, but one of them actually escaped—
Your Majesty will certainly be extremely angry.
"Yes." His Majesty's tone was surprisingly calm. "You really can't catch him. Imprison the remaining two and interrogate them about possible destinations of the escaped pirate."
"Yes." The guard agreed quickly.
He Xile raised his hand: "I know where he might have gone."
He immediately recounted the conversation between Canglong and his boss when they rented the hovercraft. "I suspect he was already looking for a place to hide if something went wrong, but his misfortune was probably due to the Cook family's backtracking, and he didn't expect you to show up. It was so sudden, and unless he contacted his previous boss, he probably couldn't find a more suitable hiding place."
Wen Jiyu raised his hand and rubbed He Xile's head: "Good boy."
He instructed the guards, "The target has a very powerful ability to disguise himself, but due to his limited mental strength, he won't be able to maintain it for long. Therefore, most of the time, he will probably remain in the same appearance as before. Continue to blockade Obsidian Star, find the owner, and check each store according to the location he provides. Remember not to attract attention."
"Yes." The guard's voice was loud and clear.
Until the guards left and the door of the room made a "click" sound, He Xile was still standing beside His Majesty, and Wen Jiyu's words "good boy" were still repeating in his mind endlessly.
Good boy, good boy, good boy...
Ahhhh.
He Xile's earlobes suddenly turned red.
After a while, Wen Jiyu uttered a surprised sound: "Your tail is almost twisted into a dough."
He Xile: “…”
Suddenly I understand why the Haixinna people don’t like such a beautiful and furry tail.
I hate tails.
