Chapter 168 Her Shield
A golden light shines in the deep starry sky.
It was not the sun, nor was it an explosion, but the golden blood of the God of Destruction falling from his body. It was like magma, hot and bright.
The wriggling golden blood slowly flowed out from the cracks, and the flowing golden river fell, gradually surrounding Lu Qi in the middle.
The girl with white hair and golden eyes seemed to be stunned. She wanted to retreat, but her way was blocked.
Looking up, I saw the huge star god.
The three braids that hung down from his body were still hung with the headband that Lu Qi had woven earlier. The beautiful color made the hot golden blood even more dazzling.
She raised her head and met His gaze.
Nanook also had golden pupils, but his eyes were calm. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his decision, and the look he gave Lu Qi still did not contain any murderous intent.
Just like it has been done countless times before, with countless civilizations.
Lu Qi took a breath, his mind racing, thinking about how to get out of this situation.
"Why, because I ruined your plan?"
She was still struggling, not only verbally but also with force.
The little white dragon began to avoid the burning golden blood.
The Dragonborn used his water control skills to resist the blood that was getting closer and closer.
"Let's talk, Nanook," Lu Qi said sincerely, "I really didn't mean it... I just wanted to rescue my friend."
Lu Qi also learned the real truth from Ms. Heita.
Ompharos is not just the Emperor's Scepter, it is also a testing ground.
The entanglement of three destinies caused Omphalos to be noticed by the Star Gods, and at the same time, it also caused him to undergo a miraculous change.
And Nanook is one of those who wants to pick peaches.
He glanced at Omphalos, expecting it to be born from the data, waiting for the right time to finally elevate it to the Lord of Extinction.
In the Interstellar Peace Company's broadcasts, the extinction lord who committed heinous crimes, "Iron Grave," was Omphalos's code name.
Therefore, what Lu Qi and the Starry Sky Train did was not a simple exploration, but a plan of destruction that was stillborn.
...Hmm, now that I think about it, it seems to be a bit of a hindrance.
but!
Nanook's Lord of Extinction is not invincible, and there are so many high-tech civilizations in the universe that they have not been completely destroyed.
Aren’t you looking for your own problems?
Should we blame the opponent for being too strong?
Lu Qi refused to accept.
Unfortunately, no matter whether she accepted it or not, her "too strong" opponent really had no intention of letting her go.
Not only that, He stared at her intently, but never spoke again.
It is so difficult to conquer the Star God of Destruction. Why is this guy like a mute?
No matter how she struggled, He watched without responding, and watched the little white dragon struggle in the circle.
Until the moment when the burning golden blood was about to touch her clothes, the white-haired girl who had been trying to break through suddenly stopped.
She never lowered her head and continued to look Him in the eye.
"Nanook," she began pathetically, "I'm afraid."
The golden blood is stagnant.
A familiar human figure appeared in front of her. At this time, the Star God of Destruction released his human incarnation.
There were a few strands of golden blood that had not yet coagulated on his dark skin, and his long white hair was draped over his shoulders, with the long, messy hair hanging down to cover the scars on his body.
The tall man looked down at her and extended his hand as she looked at him warily.
Lu Qi did not struggle, his body stiffened as he was held in his arms.
This is a very intimate action.
Her human form is petite and fits neatly into Nanook's body.
The outstretched hand rested on the other's chest.
It's normal human temperature.
His embrace is warm and His movements are gentle.
Lu Qi could still smell the scent on Nanook, which was hard to describe, the smell of "war".
It is the smell of gunpowder, flames, rust and blood.
It was strange, the guy who was clearly trying to kill her was holding her tenderly in his arms, rubbing her back soothingly.
Again and again, softly and gently, for fear of disturbing her.
Lu Qi fell into the arms of tenderness, her face almost buried in Nanook's broad bosom.
The Star God of Destruction exposed his upper body without hesitation, his amazing chest muscles were clearly defined, and the ravine in the middle was hidden by his hanging hair, making it barely visible.
Lust is like a sword hanging over your head. Faced with the dangerous situation and alluring beauty, Lu Qi felt that his life was coming to an end.
Oh no, it seems like we really have to roll back now.
But Lu Qi still wasn't convinced.
She hadn't used a rollback in a long time. The last time she was killed was the last time. It was normal to use a rollback when she was too weak. Now she was no longer the same person she was at the beginning.
It's obviously strong enough.
Do you want to fight?
Lu Qi was thinking, her hands still on Nanook's body, her fingers touching his headband.
Did the Star God of Destruction braid his hair himself? Or did he retain the look from before he became a god?
He could even give up the lower half of his body, so why did he only keep his long white hair and these braids?
Will this be the key to her breakthrough?
Lu Qi didn't know, but he instinctively knew it was too late.
Even though Nanook held her tenderly, He still wanted her to die here.
Woohoo, her life is so miserable...
Thinking of this, Lu Qi bit the big pectoral muscles in front of him.
She, she will not let Nanook go even if she becomes a ghost!
When she succeeds in her conquest, she's going to play with Nanook like a dog!
The saliva fell on the chest of Nanook's incarnation, but the warm object was hotter than his blood.
He subconsciously picked up Lu Qi and let her sit in his arms.
It was her turn to look up at Him.
The dragon girl in a high position had red eyes, and the beautiful red color spread out from the corners of her eyes, making her snow-white face look even more pitiful.
Like a lotus born in magma, fragile yet tenacious.
"Nanook, say something," the fragile little lotus said angrily, "If you kill me, you won't be able to see me again. Can you bear it?"
She boldly reached out her hand and cupped Nanook's face in her soft, warm palm.
He tilted his head back, his tall nose almost touching the tip of Lu Qi's nose.
They were so close that they were almost talking face to face. He only needed to raise his head to kiss her lips.
Warm lips, red tongue, and the images of him boldly and confidently doing whatever he wanted to Him all appeared, mixing with myriad thoughts.
That is why He is unwilling to let go.
Nanook lowered his eyes, his dark skin against his snow-white eyelashes looked even purer, like snow.
He leaned forward and gently kissed the tip of Lu Qi's nose. When she was lost for words, he slowly lowered his kiss to her thin lips.
At that moment, the slowly wriggling golden blood no longer suppressed its own speed and burned them all together.
In the void, the huge star god stared at the burning flame, his eyelashes drooped, and a drop of golden blood fell lightly.
***
The rollback failed, and not only that, Lu Qi was squeezed out of the game app.
She opened and closed her eyes, and saw a ceiling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
It's her room.
It was quiet outside the room. Lu Qi looked at the time. It was a little after 4 p.m.
My mother is probably buying groceries at this time, so it will take some time for her to come back.
Lu Qi thought about it for a while, then tried to open the app and enter the game.
[The game is updating, please start it later]
Lu Qi: ...
She's almost finished the guide, what does this update mean, is there something wrong?
When she returns, she won't have to face being burned to ashes again, right?
Lu Qi sat on the edge of the bed, thinking in a daze.
When Nanook said don't be afraid, he probably meant it won't hurt.
She was indeed stunned by the kiss, and the moment the flames came up, she was ejected from the game app. It was the most painful death she had ever experienced.
...No, don't compare the speed of death, there's nothing to compare!
Obviously, she seems to have a high degree of favorability...
Then again, does this count as a BE ending? Did she succeed in her strategy?
Lu Qi started to worry again. She poked the APP, but the thing on her phone still didn't respond. She had no choice but to throw the phone aside and go out to find food.
After playing the exciting game for a long time, she felt a little hungry.
It’s a good opportunity to eat while thinking about what to do when you get back.
According to her understanding of the APP, uncontrollable rollbacks generally would not put her in a situation where she was certain to die.
At least Lu Qi could run away before the burning wind took her away.
There is a temporary anchor point in her cave, which allows her to teleport away directly.
As for the strategy? Let's save our lives first.
Let’s think about Nanook’s reasons for attacking her.
This timing must be due to the incident with Omphalos, or perhaps there are other reasons, but the fuse is definitely the Emperor's Scepter.
She only helped a little and prevented the birth of the Iron Tomb of the Lord of Extinction. She would do the same thing again, so being hunted down was inevitable.
Compensate Nanook with an extinct monarch?
...Then let's just spare her. The Lords of Extinction are all terrifying anti-planet "weapons". Can they still be needed if there are more universes?
Maybe everyone is trying to find a way to kill Nanook now. If she sends an Extinction Lord, she will probably be killed first.
After finishing the fruit, Lu Qi held the unfinished cup of water and gradually became lazy.
When you are undecided, just go to sleep. We will talk about the strategy tomorrow!
She became happy again, completely unaware that the time in the "game" was still moving while the guide app was updating.

The news that the Dragon Lord of the Xianzhou Alliance was set on fire by Jinmie Huozu quickly spread. When the Interstellar Peace Company made a public accusation on the radio, the people present on the Starry Sky Train fell into endless silence.
San Yueqi felt that he might not have woken up yet.
The little white dragon who got off the bus not long ago died?
The pioneer with gray hair and golden eyes changed his previous cheerful attitude. He rushed over to the table next to the broadcast, and the baseball bat in his hand quickly gathered.
Before March Seventh could organize his thoughts, he saw the raccoon trying to cause damage in the carriage, so he quickly ran over to stop him.
"W-What are you doing?!"
"This broadcast is talking nonsense," Qiong said seriously, "I'm going to teach it a lesson."
"...Wake up, this is just a lifeless broadcast!"
Dan Heng, who was sitting next to him, picked up the book that had fallen on the ground. There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety on his calm face.
"Can you contact her?"
"All the messages I sent are unread," March Seven said. "How about we go back to where she got off and take a look?"
In fact, no one knew why she had to get off at that time. Generally speaking, the location where the Starry Sky Train arrived at was more convenient for leaving.
If all else fails, you can use the train's anchor point. Although you can't teleport directly back to the Luofu Fairy Boat, at least you can get to a closer place.
But at that time, Lu Qi was very determined to say goodbye to them.
After that, she simply opened the car door and left without a trace.
Looking back, it was already strange at the time why she was so anxious.
The three little ones were running around like headless flies. One said he wanted to go to Luofu, one said he wanted to go to the place where Lu Qi left, and one said he didn't believe that Lu Qi was dead, the company was spreading rumors, and he wanted compensation.
In the end, it was Miss Jizi who brought the chaotic situation under control.
She patiently explained things to them, taking things one step at a time.
Start by asking the company. At least you need to know who wrote the broadcast, what happened, and whether the Xianzhou Alliance knows about it.
If they didn't know, why would they announce Lu Qi's "death" to the world so abruptly?
Obviously, this is also contrary to common sense, convention and logic.
At least the passengers on the Starry Sky Train did not believe the one-sided statement on the broadcast.
Lu Qi is very strong. Even though he may not be able to defeat the Star God, at least he can escape, right?
She couldn't possibly be so unlucky as to run into the path of the Star God of Destruction and be killed at will...
It just so happens that the Starry Sky Train and the Interstellar Peace Company have some connections, so at least we can get some relevant information from them.
"Go ask Ester?" March Seven raised his hand.
"Gold dust, right? He's a senior executive in the company, so he should know more than an ordinary person."
"So can Miss Toppa."
Finally decided to look for all three.
Miss Ji Zi went to ask Ms. Heita about the situation, and Ms. Heita responded quickly.
She said she didn't know and hadn't been following Nanook's whereabouts. She was still dealing with the problem of Omphalos, so it would be faster to ask Miss Jizi to go to the Xianzhou Alliance to ask about the situation.
Several people in the company replied that they were not clear about the situation and the clues were temporarily cut off.
Qiong went to chat with Jing Yuan privately again, but maybe it was because Luofu Fairy Boat was too busy, but Jing Yuan never replied.
The message that was sent remains unread.
"It seems there's no other way... How about we turn back?"
The incident happened suddenly, as they had just met Lu Qi a few days ago.
To be honest, they didn't see any corpses or any turmoil, and there was always a sense of unreality hanging over the train.
How could he die so easily?
This is a hard dragon, invulnerable to swords and spears, a cold and penetrating little white frost dragon.
A powerful person who can restrain two Extinction Lords alone and not be at a disadvantage.
How is that possible?
"I'm out of ideas," San Yue Qi muttered, "What should I do?"
Several people looked at each other and decided to split into two groups.
The three were first sent to the Luofu Fairy Boat, while Miss Ji Zi and Mr. Walter went to the place where Lu Qi got off the car to check the situation.
To this end, they also went to the Black Tower Space Station to borrow several rare objects, hoping to find clues.
Ms. Heita thought they were worrying too much.
"She didn't die so easily," Lady Black Tower said rather delicately, "but sometimes it's better to be dead."
“…”
The people on the Starry Sky Train looked at each other, not quite understanding what Ms. Black Tower meant.
"Isn't this simple?" the woman in the big hat said irritably. "The last person burned by Nanook was the Infinite Lord, and now it's the Extinction Lord Xingxiao."
"You mean, Nanook... wants to make Lu Qi the next Extinction Lord?"
"It's almost certain," Lady Black Tower continued, "You'd better get ready."
"Be prepared to be killed by Him, or be prepared to kill Him."
***
The Starry Sky Train was in a state of chaos, and the Luofu Fairy Boat was almost in a state of chaos.
The Interstellar Peace Company went crazy and exposed this matter without any discussion with the Xianzhou Alliance.
Although it was not announced whether Lu Qi was dead or not, it still caused an uproar.
Especially the chaos within the Chiming tribe is even more outrageous.
Dan Feng had originally suppressed the guy with evil intentions, but after hearing the "news of Lu Qi's death", this group of useless dragon masters began to stir again.
Find a chance to throw them into the prison, at least they won't be causing trouble for him when they have nothing to do.
Luofu Xianzhou knew more than the outside world and traded some intelligence from the Interstellar Peace Company.
Lu Qi’s current location is unknown, but the candle of life is still burning.
She was not dead, and the Xianzhou Alliance knew it very well.
It's just a bit messy.
When the people from the Starry Sky Train showed up, Dan Feng was still dealing with the traitor.
He and Lu Qi are both Dragon Lords of the Luofu Chiming Clan. Although Dan Feng is closer to the Chiming Clan's inheritance in terms of bloodline, he himself knows the source of his power.
Unfortunately, the old guys of the Chiming Clan didn’t know about this. They were even happy about breaking the balance between the two Dragon Lords, and couldn’t wait to come to Danfeng to inquire about the news.
Between the lines, Dan Feng was told to take advantage of the present time and quickly deal with Lu Qi's cronies.
Especially the Pinellia ternata that is eaten inside out.
That maidservant of Lu Qi had been serving her since she was still a little dragon.
At the beginning, Banxia would pretend to write some reports about Lord Lu Qi to the Dragon Masters.
The report detailed where Lord Lu Qi went and what he did.
Later the reports became more and more concise.
Ever since Lord Lu Qi regained consciousness, Banxia stopped pretending and threw all the reports into the trash.
If the dragon masters sent people to cause trouble for Banxia, she would beat them away.
It was then that the dragon masters realized that Banxia was far stronger than an ordinary maid. Even if she were thrown into the Cloud Cavalry Army, she would be one of the best among them.
The dragon masters returned in anger, but they could only rage.
Now there is a great opportunity in front of them. If they don’t take advantage of it, they will never have another chance in the future.
As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger.
This is indeed very dangerous.
The dragon masters had no idea that they had overestimated Dan Feng's ambition and underestimated the relationship between Lu Qi and Dan Feng.
Although the two had contact a thousand years ago, Dan Feng was even brought back from outside by Lu Qi.
Lu Qi didn't know what method he used to make the dead Dan Feng reborn from his memory and become what he is today.
But it doesn't matter. They put themselves in other people's shoes and think that power is the best thing. They don't believe that Dan Feng won't be tempted.
As a result, they were all caught by Dan Feng.
The returned Dragon Lord was willing to sit below Lu Qi, resolutely implementing her ideas and becoming a sharp sword she placed in the Chiming Clan.
This sword has now severed the grudge with the Chiming clan. Whether it is good or bad, it doesn't matter to Danfeng.
Now he just wanted to follow Lu Qi and become her indestructible shield.
