Gang warfare on Xiantan Star intensifies. Lan Sinian, through Harrison's second son, Longtao, reveals Longze's death as a plot by Du Chong to sow discord between Heiyu and Fangya. Harrison, unconvinced by his only remaining son's words, is overcome with grief and hatred at the tragic loss of his two children. He even hates Samuel enough to devour him alive, vowing to make him pay for his actions.
However, the forces behind the two gangs are complex. Harrison is deeply involved with many nobles of the Blood Wolf Clan, and Samuel is backed by the Locust Clan, and even the Bat Clan and the Snake Clan mentioned by Lan Lezhang. When the two sides went to war, these clans were inevitably implicated. Some of them worried that their own interests would be damaged, while others thought this was an opportunity to devour the other side. Conflicts arose, but no matter what, Harrison and Du Chong could not stop this time.
…
A few days later.
The news that Harrison was killed by Samuel and disappeared spread on Xiantan Star, but before Samuel, the winner, could be happy, he was captured by Heiyu himself and brought back to Heiyu's base.
From the gentleman's mouth, Lan Sinian and Qin Changqing learned about the poisonous insects, and the locust clan, bat clan, and snake clan behind the poisonous insects might be related to that organization, so Lan Sinian personally interrogated Samuel, hoping to get some information out of him.
Qin Changqing did not ask about the specific content of the interrogation, but Guila asked to meet Samuel.
Qin Changqing paused for a moment, not agreeing immediately. Guila didn't say anything else, but Qin Changqing could tell he and Samuel still had some grievances to settle, and he wouldn't give up so easily.
Lan Lezhang, the name of Lan Sinian's second brother, had been very well behaved since arriving at Heiyu. He seemed to have a good personality, never giving those who followed him trouble, and never showing any curiosity about where he was forbidden to go. The people of Heiyu, knowing that he might be the second brother of their boss, had a much better impression of him. However, since the boss had asked them to keep him under observation, it meant that he might have some problems, so they would not take the initiative to do anything for him.
During this period, Lan Lezhang once proposed to meet and chat with Qin Changqing, but was rejected by Lan Sinian. Lan Sinian could not forget the scene of Qin Changqing fainting in anger after hearing the news from him, and he was afraid that someone would say something to provoke him in front of him again.
However, he personally rejected Lan Lezhang's request, and finally explained, "Changqing needs to take good care of the baby now. I don't want him to worry about these things anymore. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Lan Lezhang carefully observed his younger brother, now a towering 5'9", and recalled the last time he'd seen him: his fourth brother had just been brought home. Though fourteen, he looked as thin as a ten-year-old, skin draped over bones, his eyes always open, lifeless and hollow. It was heartbreaking to watch. Unexpectedly, twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye, and his younger brother had grown from a malnourished seedling into a towering, sheltered figure.
It’s a pity that this pine tree now looks at him with such a strange look. It is no longer the little guy who followed them around and called them brother.
Lan Lezhang looked at him for a long moment and asked worriedly, "Xiao Nian, have you had a physical examination in recent years?"
"Of course, why are you asking this?" Lan Sinian glanced at him and asked.
Lan Lezhang sighed softly and said, "Back then, you were taken to that underground experimental base for six years. No one knows what that cruel man did to you during that time. I'm worried..." He paused and didn't continue, his face full of worry.
Lan Sinian was not affected by his emotions and continued to ask, "What are you worried about?"
Lan Lezhang was silent for a moment before he frowned and whispered, "I'm worried that one day, you'll end up like your third brother, unable to control yourself."
His worries were not without reason, but Lan Sinian interrupted him, "Let's talk about this later. Changqing can't be provoked now. This is not the time to discuss this."
Lan Lezhang knew he doted on his wife, but he had no idea he doted on her so much. Even something so important could be pushed to the side. Qin Changqing wasn't the only one pregnant throughout history, and no one had ever been so protective of their child, not even letting them say a word. But that was Lan Sinian's temper, and no matter how unbelievable it was, Lan Lezhang couldn't say anything.
Lan Sinian did not continue the topic. He said, "We are planning to set off back to the Imperial Star in two days. You should make some preparations and come with us." He did not speak in a negotiating tone, but gave a direct order.
Lan Lezhang was a little speechless, then frowned and asked, "Are you not going to care about Xiantanxing's affairs?"
He didn't know that Harry Lin was dead and Samuel had been arrested. Lan Sinian didn't tell him about his plans, but simply said, "There are naturally people to take care of these things. You don't need to worry about them."
…
When Guila heard that they were planning to return to Imperial Star, she asked to see Samuel again. After Lan Sinian discussed it with Qin Changqing, they finally agreed.
Guila was taken to where Samuel was being held, and he requested, "I want to see him alone."
Lan Sinian frowned slightly and looked up at him.
Guila looked at him calmly. After a moment, she smiled and asked, "You won't agree to my sister-in-law's request?"
The atmosphere was tense for a moment, but it quickly dissipated as if nothing had happened. Lan Sinian said slowly, "He's still useful."
"I know," Guila said with a light smile, self-deprecatingly, "With my current broken body, do you think I'm capable of doing anything to him?"
Lan Sinian finally agreed and asked someone to guard the door while he went back early.
Ever since Qin Changqing fainted that day, he has been under special care. Even though he only stays at the Black Feather Base, there are always two or three people around to take care of him. Unless Lan Sinian comes back to accompany him personally, they have to wait at the door when he goes to the toilet. They treat him like a porcelain doll, which is a bit speechless.
"Honey, are you feeling unwell today? If you are, please tell me."
Look, here it comes again. His Majesty the Emperor asks him this question at least dozens of times every day, and he is too lazy to pay attention!
"We're leaving now. Why don't you take me for a stroll around Heiyu?" Qin Changqing changed the subject.
Lan Sinian became interested, took his hand and said, "Do you want to go shopping? I'll accompany you." Lan Sinian didn't want to have the chance to bring his wife to such a place that looks glamorous on the surface but is decadent and dirty on the inside. Therefore, this is indeed the only chance to let his dear see that even if he doesn't become an emperor, he has the ability to let him live a life like a king!
The Black Feather Base covers a large area. Lan Sinian took him for a walk and talked all the way, and from time to time he pulled him to say hello to the subordinates he met. His Majesty the Emperor Jin, the Fourth Master, felt particularly proud!
"My dear, if you are tired of being the queen, come and be my wife! I promise that your life here will not be worse than that in the palace!" His Majesty the Emperor Jin, the Fourth Master, smiled and kidnapped people.
The phrase "Yazhaifuren" (the wife of a bandit) was clearly borrowed from the internet, clearly demonstrating how unemployed this emperor and gangster was. Qin Changqing squinted at him and said with a smile, "No one with a sound mind would give up the throne of empress and follow you to this bandit den to rot."
"Honey, are you looking down on me?!" Mr. Jin Si looked at him with an aggrieved expression as if his self-esteem was hurt.
"Yes." Qin Changqing nodded with a smile, and rarely agreed with his words, saying, "I would rather sit on the queen's throne and cry than laugh in your bandit's den."
Fourth Master Jin: “…” Is this okay?
"How can I bear to let my dear cry for me? I love you so much." In a second, Lan Sinian switched to the affectionate emperor mode, grabbed his hands, and kissed them with a cherished look on his face.
Qin Changqing smiled and asked, "Even if I only love your money and status, you don't care?"
His Majesty the Emperor continued affectionately, "I believe that one day my dear will be moved by my love!"
"Boss, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened, boss!"
The two were enjoying their affectionate performance when a hoarse voice suddenly interrupted them with a series of shouts, instantly ruining the atmosphere and making the affectionate Emperor very angry!
"Why are you yelling?!" Lan Sinian roared angrily.
The man looked anxious, not caring why he was angry. He shouted anxiously, "Boss, something happened! Something happened to Mr. Guila and Samuel!"
"What happened to them?" Lan Sinian asked in a deep voice. Qin Changqing, who was standing beside him, was also shocked. Could it be that Samuel had broken free and done something to Guila?
The three of them walked back quickly, and the man quickly explained, "It was Mr. Guila. He, he cast the Flower Vine Clan's curse on Samuel!"
Qin Changqing was a little confused, but Lan Sinian seemed to have expected this. When the three of them finally arrived at the place where Samuel was being held, they saw a pool of blood on the ground.
Samuel and Guila both fell in a pool of blood. Samuel's whole body was convulsing, his eyes fixed on Guila who was lying not far away, emitting a sinister light, but he had no strength to say anything more, only painful roars in his throat.
Guila's white clothes were stained with large patches of black and red blood, but a smile was on her beautiful, delicate face. Looking at Samuel, who was immersed in pain, she said with a happy smile, "In the name of the flower god, I curse you. I will use your flesh and blood as nutrients to nourish the seeds of the blood-sucking thorns, which will sprout and take root deeply in your bones, until they suck away every last drop of nutrients from your body... I want you to live in the pain of having the blood-sucking thorns deeply rooted in your flesh, blood, and bones for the rest of your life, and there will be no peace!"
"Ah--!!!" As his words fell, Samuel let out a high-pitched roar of pain, but soon, his flesh and blood would be eaten away bit by bit by the roots of the blood-sucking thorns. He would taste the pain of his flesh and blood being peeled off, and clearly feel the despair and fear of his life being drained away bit by bit. At that time, he would no longer have the strength to roar.
Qin Changqing didn't know what kind of grudges and hatreds existed between the two, but from Guila's expression, he could see the pure hatred that had been suppressed for too long.
After Guila finished speaking with a sense of satisfaction, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He opened his mouth with great effort, but it was difficult for anyone to hear what he was saying.
Qin Changqing wanted to go over, but was held back by Lan Sinian.
Lan Sinian shook his head slightly at him, then walked over and helped him up from the ground.
"What do you want to say?"
When Guila was helped up, he coughed violently, and a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, staining his white shirt red. Qin Changqing anxiously called for a doctor to check his body, but he shook his head to stop him.
Guila leaned against Lan Sinian, completely exhausted. Lan Sinian leaned over and heard him say with difficulty, "In my stomach, there's something that's your, your third brother's blood. I'm handing it over to you..."
As he spoke, his gradually distracted gaze turned to Qin Changqing's bulging belly. An envious smile appeared on his face, and he whispered, "I really envy you. If Saifei and I could also have a child of our own, it would be great..."
His eyes lingered on Qin Changqing's belly, filled with deep envy and desire. Then, bit by bit, they disappeared, his soul returning to the heavenly river...
"Guila!" Qin Changqing grabbed his hand, but this beautiful but miserable person had already lowered his head heavily and passed away.
Qin Changqing felt a wave of pain in his heart, as if something had blocked his heart. His eyes burned with pain as he mourned for the man who had lost his beloved and died so young. Lan Sinian put the man back on the ground and reached over to touch his head.
Qin Changqing looked distressed and shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Then he suddenly remembered Guila's words and hurriedly said, "Send the doctor over! Hurry!"
Lan Sinian asked, "What do you want to do?"
Qin Changqing lowered his head and looked at Guila lying in a pool of blood. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "I want to help him realize his wish."
Lan Sinian immediately understood what the wish was. He paused, nodded and said, "Okay." He would always support Changqing.
