Chaos Star, a dark night with high winds, evil spreading and growing.
In the dark alley, Duan ngjun’s arm was still bleeding.
The green blood looked sticky and disgusting, the color Duan ngjun hated the most.
She covered her arm, her breath weak, seemingly on the verge of death.
For so reason, a beam of light shot in from the front.
Duan ngjun squinted to see, only to spot a man erging from the void.
"Huh?"
The man spoke.
"There’s an Insect Person here."
Duan ngjun was very aware that the man’s sudden ntion of "Insect Person" referred to her.
She propped herself up, standing with a hint of coldness in her expression.
"Who are you?"
"?" The man pointed to himself, "Cheng Qingye."
He gently stroked the Light Brain on his left wrist, seemingly troubled.
"You saw , now what?"
His tone was airy, without emotion.
"Looks like I have to kill."
Duan ngjun’s pupils constricted.
The man did not move, yet she felt as if her throat was being gripped by large hands, struggling to breathe.
The invisible large hands raised her little by little, unable to struggle, her body slowly lifting off the ground.
The sensation of suffocation surrounded her, and the fear of death descended upon her heart.
With a "clatter," sothing dropped from her clothes pocket.
"Huh?" Cheng Qingye uttered softly.
Duan ngjun just felt the invisible hands release, dropping her to the ground, extrely embarrassed.
At her feet, there was a Level 3 Pure Energy Stone, given to her by Su Ruan before leaving Central Star.
"Sister’s scent." Cheng Qingye brought the Pure Energy Stone to his eyes using spiritual power, noticing so green blood on it and despising it, so he only held it with spiritual power instead of touching it.
"Where did you get this thing?" he asked, turning to Duan ngjun.
Duan ngjun coughed a few tis, already heavily injured, and worn out by Cheng Qingye, leaving her with little strength.
"I..."
As soon as she uttered a word, a dizzying sensation overwheld her.
She fainted.
Seeing her faint, Cheng Qingye frowned slightly.
"Troubleso."
He lifted Duan ngjun using spiritual power, taking her to a random place, waiting for her to wake up.
At dawn, Duan ngjun finally woke up.
She still hurt greatly, and her wounds seemingly went untreated.
However, she didn’t hope for anything more; in Chaos Star, this was the norm.
Duan ngjun sat up, looking at the man not far away, coughing lightly.
"Who on earth are you?"
Cheng Qingye sensed her waking up instantly and responded indifferently upon hearing her inquiry: "Cheng Qingye."
Duan ngjun didn’t recognize anyone nad Cheng Qingye, she pursed her lips and touched herself, noticing the Pure Energy Stones from Su Ruan were gone.
Could this person be here for the Pure Energy Stones?
Cheng Qingye fiddled with two Pure Energy Stones, their green bloodstains already cleaned off by him using spiritual power, now filled with the energy of Su Ruan’s scent.
The only peculiar thing to Cheng Qingye was the lack of energy in these stones.
Energy-less stones were rely waste stones, right?
Yet, because they were covered in his sister’s scent, Cheng Qingye didn’t throw them away, playing with them in his palm.
"Where did this co from?" he asked again.
Duan ngjun tightly pursed her lips, refusing to answer.
The man before her was uncertainly friend or foe; she absolutely wouldn’t betray Su Ruan.
Seeing Duan ngjun’s refusal to answer, a trace of doubt crossed Cheng Qingye’s eyes.
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
"Your tongue isn’t pulled out."
Duan ngjun’s pupils shrank, this was undoubtedly a threat, a naked threat.
Yet she remained tight-lipped, unwilling to utter a word.
"Troubleso." Cheng Qingye frowned, tapping lightly on his Light Brain, sending a ssage to his second brother.
[Second Brother, I’m at Chaos Star XXX, XXX. I saw a woman carrying energy stones with sister’s scent. Co and take her away for interrogation.]
This woman was human after all. Matters concerning humans were better left to Second Brother to handle.
To avoid giving certain people an excuse to bla the Insect Race later.
As the newly appointed king of the Insect Race, Cheng Qingye cared about the race’s external image now.
No matter how things were before, as long as he is king for a day, no tarnish can be left on the Insect Race.
Su Heyuan was also on Chaos Star, without the buffer of distance, Cheng Qingye’s ssage instantly reached Su Heyuan.
Su Heyuan almost imdiately replied: [Okay, I’ll co right away.]
Ten minutes later, a hovercar stopped before Cheng Qingye.
Su Heyuan stepped off, "Third Brother."
Cheng Qingye nodded, "Second Brother."
He pointed to Duan ngjun not far away, "It’s this woman."
Su Heyuan looked toward the direction Cheng Qingye pointed, spotting Duan ngjun sitting on the ground, completely disheveled.
"Duan ngjun?" He frowned.
"Second Brother, you know her?" Cheng Qingye’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, "If you know her, ask where she got these two energy stones?"
Not far away, Duan ngjun was also greatly surprised to see Su Heyuan, and even more by what the two n said.
This strange man was actually Su Heyuan’s third brother?
These two look nothing alike.
While she was in a daze, Su Heyuan already walked up to her.
"What’s the deal with those two energy stones?" he asked.
Duan ngjun pursed her lips before speaking: "Su Ruan gave them to ."
"Hmm? Sister gave them to you?" Cheng Qingye approached from behind, "No wonder."
No wonder they were covered in his sister’s scent.
His gaze fell on Duan ngjun, nodding in a mock serious manner, "Good thing I didn’t kill you."
Otherwise, sister would surely be saddened.
Sister was always kind and fragile, she’d cry for half a day if an ant died, not to ntion if soone she knew died, her eyes would probably swell from crying.
Listening to Cheng Qingye’s mutterings, Su Heyuan’s mouth twitched.
Even after so many years, he still doesn’t quite understand Third Brother’s thinking.
Probably because Third Brother is of the Insect Race, so he is especially different from him and Big Brother.
The Insect Race naturally has its own logic for doing things, so there’s no need to ask too much.
Su Heyuan withdrew his wandering thoughts, seeing Duan ngjun covered in blood, slightly frowning.
"You’re injured, co back with first."
Duan ngjun nodded, her face pale from excessive blood loss, her body thin and pitiable, as if she would topple with a gust of wind.
If it were anyone else seeing Duan ngjun like this, they would definitely be sympathetic.
But unfortunately, standing before her was Su Heyuan, whose only desire was for family reunion, and another who was a pure-blooded Insect, so neither had any sympathy.
