Star Beast World: Super rare females become popular

Chapter 23

After receiving the urgent message from the intelligent computer, Lan Heng immediately returned to his spacious and advanced command room.

He sat on the chair and looked at the person standing in front of the table with a calm look: "Are you back?"

The man with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs and tall and straight figure standing upright is Jiang Yue.

I didn’t expect that the person who was just mentioned as not knowing when to return in the afternoon would return safely in the evening.

Jiang Yue was wearing a black tight combat uniform and looked to be in good condition. He probably didn't get hurt during the mission.

He stood with his head bowed, neither servile nor arrogant, and reported the mission in a concise manner: "Yes, I learned from my undercover work in the Star Pirates Organization that the Scorpion Scoop was indeed hiding there before."

Lan Heng nodded: "Has the person been caught?"

"No, ever since Scoop captured Li Zhi on the original star last time, he left on the airship for something important and has not returned to the star pirate organization. His whereabouts remain a mystery."

"It doesn't make much sense for me to continue lurking among the pirates, so I will come back and report after gathering information. I can use the power of the empire to find his whereabouts."

Jiang Yue paused and continued, "Also, the leader of the pirates, Gu Moyuan, doesn't seem to know about Scoop's affairs. I understand that he has disappeared for some time for some reason."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this news, Lan Heng's wise and calm eyes flashed with surprise: "In this case, in addition to continuing to explore Scoop's whereabouts, we must also find out Gu Moyuan's whereabouts."

"Yes."

Lan Heng raised his eyes, looked at the person standing quietly in front of the table, pursed his lips and said with a cold snort, knowingly: "It seems that you still insist on protecting people?"

Jiang Yue nodded: "Yes, please approve it, sir."

"Is she really worth such a huge price for you?"

"Yes." Jiang Yue raised his eyes, his gaze full of determination: "She is worth it."

Lan Heng was silent, thinking of the warmth and touch that Li Zhi had brought him in just a brief contact. He, who had always regarded himself as a rational machine, suddenly understood Jiang Yue's insistence, which was more harmful than beneficial from a rational point of view.

"In that case, I'll give you a chance." Seeing Jiang Yue raise his eyes in joy, he slowly stood up and chuckled softly: "If you beat me, I'll approve it, how about it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yue's pupils shrank slightly.

Lan Heng is not only the brain of the empire and the commander who sits in the command room and issues orders, but he is also one of the other two existing SS-level males in the empire besides Marshal Golden Lion, and his strength is extremely powerful.

Jiang Yue lowered his eyes and clasped his fists: "I obey your command."

Even though there is a huge gap in strength, for Li Zhi, he cannot retreat and has to fight.

The two went to the enclosed arena in the building. In the middle was a huge circular arena. With a slight command, a transparent isolation protective shield rose around the arena.

As soon as the battle began, Jiang Yue immediately transformed into the strongest combat state of a black wolf. He was several meters long, with blood-red pupils, a slightly open mouth revealing sharp fangs, all the muscles in his body were tense, and his limbs were gripping the ground, ready to fight.

Lan Heng chuckled and slowly took off his gold-rimmed glasses from his high nose bridge, revealing his narrow, cold, ice-blue eyes. His pupils suddenly turned vertical and also changed into the shape of an animal.

His beast form was actually a giant blue python!

The snake's body is as thick as a bucket, dozens of meters long, and its misty blue scales are covered with mysterious patterns. Its cold blue vertical pupils contain a kind of contempt and coldness of a king.

Jiang Yue knew he had no choice but to fight, so he took the lead in attacking. The huge black wolf was as fast as lightning, nimbly dodged the waving snake's tail, and pounced on him.

However, there is a huge gap between the combat power of S-level and SS-level, both in terms of strength and speed.

Jiang Yue failed to dodge in time and was mercilessly whipped away by the thick snake's tail. Horrible scars appeared on the wolf's body, and blood was spreading.

He lay on the ground, gasping for a few times, then propped himself up and pounced on her again, only to be blown away again.

After several waves like this, the black wolf's hair had been dyed dark red and tangled, but it still continued to charge forward with obsession and perseverance.

This time, he successfully avoided the flexible and powerful snake's tail, pounced on the middle part of the snake's body, showed his sharp fangs, and bit it firmly.

The blue python felt pain, and its barrel-like body twisted and entangled the giant wolf tightly, tightening it continuously. Neither of them held back, and the black wolf immediately gasped in pain and growled in a choking voice.

When his internal organs were almost crushed, the blue python loosened its body and delivered a final blow, mercilessly whipping the black wolf away with its tail. The black wolf fell to the ground and directly smashed a big hole in the arena.

Amid the flying dust, Lan Heng turned into a human form, with blood stains on the white shirt around his waist, like a blooming red spider lily.

He walked to the edge of the pit and looked at the huge black wolf lying inside, bruised and convulsed, but still trying to support his limbs with his mind. His expression was complicated.

"He's such a love-brained man. He's willing to sacrifice his life for her."

He was silent for a long time, with a hint of complexity and struggle in his eyes, but in the end it still turned into almost cold rationality.

"But you lost, Jiang Yue."

"I don't have much time left. The empire needs you, so the overall situation is important."

"Sorry, I still can't approve it."

The black wolf's blood-red eyes moved slightly, but finally, unable to resist the drowsiness in his brain, he closed them unwillingly and fell into a coma.

In the treatment room, a tall but scarred black-haired man with his eyes closed lay quietly in the cold green liquid in the treatment cabin.

Su Jing crossed his arms and clicked his tongue a few times: "That guy named Lan is really interesting. Jiang Yue was not injured during the mission, but he was beaten up like this when he came back."

"That guy turned his face and didn't recognize me after the meal. Don't give him food anymore in the future, understand?"

He glanced at Li Zhi, who had followed immediately after hearing the news and was standing in front of the treatment cabin with a distressed look on his face: "Little Li Zhi, why don't you say anything? Are you so distressed for him?"

Li Zhi didn't even raise his head, his eyes were red, he tried hard to hold back his tears, his face was full of worry and self-blame.

She could still recall that Lan Heng had sent someone to deliver the message, sending the wounded Jiang Yue to the treatment room and leaving a message.

[I told him that I would be your guardian if he won. He lost. Sorry, I said I would not approve of it.]

She couldn't hold back her tears, "Jiang Yue was injured so badly, and it was because of me that he was injured like this. Of course I feel bad for him, it's all my fault!"

Su Jing was silent. Although what she said was true and it was reasonable, she couldn't help but feel sour and lost in her heart.

It's always like this. In Li Zhi's heart, Jiang Yue seems to be the most important, occupying most of the area, while he can only get the remaining little bit of space.

Even though he and Xiaoli Zhi had been getting along very well in their world of two these days, as soon as Jiang Yue came back, Xiaoli Zhi's heart and eyes were filled with him, and even her attitude towards him became obviously cold and distant.

He couldn't help but ask: "If I get hurt, will you feel bad too?"

"Yes." Li Zhi answered without thinking, but couldn't help but think of the woman who was very important to Su Jing, and the fact that he only protected her as a sister.

She immediately added: "You take care of me like a sister, and you are a very good and important brother to me. Of course I feel bad when you get hurt!"

"Take me as your brother?"

Su Jing's expression had just improved a little, but when he heard her words that clearly distanced him from his surroundings, his expression suddenly turned gloomy and dark.

It turns out that Oguri Zhi only regards him as a brother, that kind of feeling.

But I don’t consider you as my sister, Oguri Zhi.

Su Jing was silent for a long time, then he pulled the corners of his lips and laughed at himself.

Forget it. He is clearly an unruly and dissolute nobleman. Why should he lower himself by trying to understand the greed, anger and ignorance of the world?

His inner pride and awkwardness did not allow him to reveal his feelings when the other party did not have the same feelings, as if he was humbly craving for mercy and response.

He was destined to be indulgent, indifferent, and to play around in the world half-truthfully all his life.
