Lin Mú Cí sighed softly.
She herself was human, and could be considered… an experienced task executor. It was precisely because of this that she understood why the little system was so dejected.
Sometimes, the inherent flaws of humanity could indeed make one feel despair.
But even so, one couldn’t completely lose hope.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
“But— I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely succeed.”
The little system, however, looked at her with watery, glistening eyes. The little rabbit nodded earnestly, then told Lin Mú Cí.
“You definitely can!”
…
Outside the Sansheng Gorge, several fleets of interstellar spacecraft of different colors were docked.
Warriors in blue uniforms emerged from their mechs in an orderly fashion. The man who stepped out of his mech, however, had a stern expression as he surveyed the few stumbling figures opposite him.
“This is it?”
“These are the captives you spoke of?”
“Ridiculous!”
“If you think you can enter the council with such a track record, you’re dreaming.”
“A few pawns who haven’t even reached S-rank, what great achievements are these?”
His words caused the expressions of those around him to change. Immediately, someone stepped forward, forcing a smile, and attempted to explain.
“That… Officer, your standards are too high… After all, you are now the Chief Executive…”
“Of course you’d find these individuals insignificant, but these people are indeed considered strong!”
“They have all awakened rare abilities… and can be used to resist the Zerg. After all, the Zerg have been counterattacking in some star systems these past few years. We still occasionally hear news of the Zerg, devouring entire planets.”
“These people are all promising talents…”
But the young and handsome Chief Executive opposite him spoke with a stern expression.
“I don’t want people who can resist the Zerg. What about the matter I previously assigned? Have you found the site of that research institute?”
The people on the other side exchanged glances, looking very troubled.
“No… no. The magnetic field here is too special. All exploration instruments fail here. Even mechs cannot penetrate deep into the gorge; they are instantly severed from external contact by the mysterious magnetic field here…”
“We really have no way.”
“Esteemed Executive… we can only guard here, awaiting your arrival!”
The man on the other side blinked. His delicate eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a cold sneer seemed to curve his lips for a moment. Then he said,
“A bunch of useless trash!”
The other party hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said,
“However, Esteemed Executive…”
“Are you sure you want to go down?”
“Instruments cannot detect anything here. With your esteemed status, entering might expose you to danger, and we would be unable to provide timely rescue…”
The man impatiently removed the bracelet on his wrist and tossed it aside.
“Danger? What danger could I possibly encounter— Are you doubting my strength?”
He spoke without the slightest hesitation and walked towards the gorge. Those people, however, showed a trace of tension and fear on their faces.
“Esteemed Executive… wait a moment. The spatial conditions here are extremely unstable. You might be randomly teleported away… Esteemed Executive…”
Before the other party could finish speaking, his body had already entered that mist!
And then he disappeared without a trace!
…
A moment later. In the dense forest.
The Executive rubbed his throbbing temples. Sensing some movement, he instinctively tightened his grip on another bracelet on his wrist that could transform into a lightsaber!
He was ready to draw his sword at any moment, and then he heard a slightly complaining, sweet girl’s voice by his ear.
“I told you, this wouldn’t work!”
“You insisted it was fine. See, now it’s bad, I lost him— who knows where he’s run off to.”
“Big liar, you said I was your female beast, yet you run faster than anyone. Don’t you even know when you’ve lost your own female beast?”
“Big idiot! Big pig’s head!”
The girl’s voice was sweet and cute, with a hint of frustration audible within it. The Executive frowned in confusion, feeling a sense of disbelief.
Pig’s head? Idiot?
Female beast?
Had he fallen into some sort of illusion? How could a female beast possibly exist here?
The Executive felt this was simply impossible!
And the girl’s voice continued to grumble incessantly.
“Idiot!”
“Hmph, hmph!”
“How could you abandon me!”
He turned his head and saw a scene that made him feel somewhat dazed. In the jungle, there was indeed an ethereal girl of unparalleled beauty!
The girl was holding a fluffy rabbit and was currently speaking to it with a wronged expression. Her face was truly exquisite, her entire countenance conveying an aura of pure and clear beauty. Her long eyelashes fluttered and trembled, capable of making one’s heart pound with just a single glance.
As the council’s Chief Executive, Yang Lanyan had seen many female beasts over the years, and indeed, a great number of them. However, their compatibility with him had all been extremely low.
There was simply no female beast that could stir his heart.
He thought, perhaps it was because those female beasts were too weak. Even female beasts, those who were so weak and lacking any self-protection ability, held no attraction for him.
But the girl before him was different— he had only glanced at her once, and suddenly felt his heart pounding wildly. That feeling of being instantly captivated by her made him understand what a fatal attraction was.
He didn’t even need a compatibility test.
He had only looked at this girl once, and he was certain.
His compatibility with this girl would be extremely high!
Perhaps even approaching one hundred percent, because this was… a tremor from his soul. His instincts seemed to be madly reminding him how perfect this girl would be for him.
He remained still, motionless, rooted to the spot.
Still appraising her.
If this wasn't a dream—
How could this female beast be here?
As everyone knew, female beasts were extremely delicate. If a female beast appeared here, there must be a reason. Wait, what she had just said— did it mean she had a provider?
Yang Lanyan sneered.
Even if she was a female beast already claimed, he could still snatch her away!
He refused to believe that this little female beast’s man would be more suitable for her than he was!
His compatibility with her absolutely surpassed that man’s!
The little female beast’s hand, which was stroking the rabbit, paused slightly. The rabbit’s ears perked up abruptly. Then, as if sensing something, she slowly raised her head and her gaze met Yang Lanyan’s directly.
Lin Mú Cí’s eyes widened.
The man opposite her assumed she was stunned by his appearance.
Little did he know, Lin Mú Cí was internally complaining—
As expected, it’s indeed… an old acquaintance.
