In the center of the vortex, the maiden everyone was curious to behold removed the testing device. Then she asked.
"Where is my mecha?"
She had no idea she had chosen the most legendary mecha on the central planet, the Destiny Mecha, which could only be obtained by awakening the power of destiny.
And as the students looked at her, because she wore a shielding device, they could not see her face at all.
They only felt that this maiden was truly plain-looking, not particularly outstanding, only her eyes could be considered bright.
The lecturer’s mood was also complicated.
How could it be this maiden…
He could hardly believe his eyes. Because the dean had previously said that this maiden had a special identity, but no matter how special her identity was, he never imagined that this maiden could actually obtain the Destiny Mecha!
This was a divine object they didn't even dare to think about.
The power of destiny, how boundless and how unfathomable—that she could obtain the Destiny Mecha made the lecturer couldn't help but give a wry smile.
"The Destiny mecha is not in the Mecha Academy."
"Someone will deliver it this afternoon."
"Since you can pilot this mecha, then from today onwards, this mecha belongs to you."
Lin Muci nodded. She actually didn't care much about this so-called expensive mecha. She looked out the window, and as if sensing something, looked towards the corridor outside the Mecha Academy. A man in a suit was slowly walking over.
All the students had finished selecting their mechas.
Impatiently, they rushed out.
To go to the warehouse and get their mechas.
Only Lin Muci remained, because her mecha, Destiny, was too special, and she hadn't expected anyone in the academy could obtain it before.
Therefore, this mecha was not kept in the academy at all.
So she was still waiting quietly.
And when the door was pushed open, the maiden looked up. Before her was a man of extraordinary handsomeness, who seemed to have stolen all the dazzling sunlight.
The crowd dispersed, leaving only her. He walked step by step towards her, looking at the maiden before him. Her shielding device was completely useless to him.
He looked at the maiden before him with a smile that was not a smile, then reached out and grabbed her wrist.
He lowered his voice, his voice sounding like a sigh, yet also like deep satisfaction.
"I found you."
"I thought... I would have to travel across the entire universe, galaxy by galaxy, to find you."
"How can my female beast not be by my side?"
Lin Muci looked up, her clear gaze meeting his. He reached out and directly embraced her. He ruffled her hair and heard him say.
"Why did you come to the central planet, and even enter the academy? Don't you know..."
He paused here, his tone seeming to gain some fluctuation. After a moment, he continued.
"Don't you know that this place is full of men who would covet you?"
Lin Muci grumbled in her heart. Of course, she had come to the central planet precisely because she knew this! However, facing Ling Kuang, who might go mad with just one wrong word, Lin Muci mumbled a few words, her tone appearing extremely obedient.
"It's a long story."
"I came here because... I want to learn about mechas."
"Back in the Galactic Battlefield, I was already interested in mechas... but they actually said I couldn't learn about mechas."
"I am very unconvinced. Why can't I have the right to pilot a mecha?"
"So I secretly ran to the academy."
Ling Kuang glanced at her lightly.
As a female beast, how could she have deceived everyone and come to the Mecha Academy? He knew too well the usual behavior of those hypocritical fellows on the central planet. Those fellows were definitely not good people. It would be good if they didn't have their eyes on his little female beast.
And they would send her to school?
"Secretly ran over?"
Lin Muci looked up at him, her voice becoming much smaller.
"I'm telling the truth, you mustn't be angry. Actually, it wasn't entirely secret, someone helped me."
Although she didn't say who helped her, Ling Kuang automatically attributed it to Yang Lanyan. He had taken note of the way that guy looked at his little female beast. That guy had ill intentions towards his little female beast!
He snorted coldly, clenched his palm, his gaze fell on the mecha talent detection instrument beside him, and he raised his eyebrows.
"What is your mecha?"
Lin Muci said softly.
"They said the mecha I selected is called Destiny."
"Have you heard of it?"
Ling Kuang's expression immediately turned serious.
Of course, he had heard of it.
The five legendary mechas of the central planet.
Destiny was one of them, and the only legendary mecha without an owner.
The little female beast before him, so fragile, and locked up in the eighth prison since childhood. Yet, it was this kind of little female beast that could be recognized by Destiny?
If he hadn't been looking at the clear eyes of this little female beast himself, confirming that she was telling the truth, he would almost suspect that this little female beast was lying!
Destiny...
He had seen the Destiny mecha with his own eyes before. Not the holographic image displayed by the mecha detection instrument, but a mecha that truly existed. However, he was still young then.
He had also selected his own mecha.
When he first came to the central planet, he was still full of curiosity about this place. Unfortunately, the central planet had only brought him deep suppression and endless suspicion!
Because of his humble origins, even his unprecedented astonishing talent seemed to have become his original sin.
Ling Kuang looked at the female beast before him. She looked at him with confusion and asked.
"What's wrong? Is this mecha not good?"
"Oh, by the way, what mecha do you use? You rarely seem to fight with mechas."
"Back in the Galactic Battlefield, you didn't even use a mecha, but moved directly in the Galactic Battlefield with your body..."
This was something only powerful experts could do, resisting the powerful pressure in the universe with their own bodies!
"Is your mecha broken, or is there something wrong with it?"
Hearing the maiden's confused question, Ling Kuang paused and said.
"It's not broken. And there are no problems."
"My mecha is called Fen Xin."
"When Fen Xin appears, the universe trembles."
"This mecha was once regarded as a demon by the entire central planet, a most inauspicious mecha. And if I used this mecha, others would mostly feel immense fear, so I rarely use it."
"This mecha, like myself, is deeply feared!"
Ling Kuang thought that by saying this, the maiden would be afraid. Unexpectedly, after hearing him say this, the maiden immediately showed a very excited expression.
"Wow!"
"Is that so?"
"It sounds so cool!"
"Inauspicious demon, this mecha must be super handsome!"
"Just like you."
Ling Kuang didn't expect that this maiden would unexpectedly praise him for being handsome. He was slightly taken aback, but the maiden had already pounced forward and looked at him eagerly, her eyes shining exceptionally bright!
"Take me to see it, how about it?"
Ling Kuang was silent for a moment, and he said.
"No need to take you specifically. My mecha naturally accompanies me."
"It's just that Fen Xin is indeed a special mecha, its power will be suppressed by more than half here."
"This mecha is indeed very special, and it's understandable that the people of the central planet fear this mecha, because when this mecha was built, it incorporated gene fragments of the Zerg and special materials from the Zerg."
"The Fen Xin mecha once also had the blood of many human powerhouses on it, because the previous owner of this mecha had been a Zerg spy."
"He sacrificed later, and this mecha was then reclaimed by the human race. It was re-forged together with top Zerg materials obtained from the final battle against the Zerg, and thus Fen Xin was created."
"If one does not have the qualification to pilot this mecha, and forcibly pilots it, blades and seas of fire will appear in their minds, as if being devoured by countless Zergs, experiencing immense pain."
"Therefore, the human powerhouses are most resistant to this Fen Xin mecha. Some even believe that this mecha should not exist and should be destroyed along with the annihilation of the Zerg."
"However, they didn't have the ability to destroy this mecha, and it eventually fell into my hands by chance."
Lin Muci became interested.
"Regarding the previous owner of this mecha... I'm curious, tell me about it."
Ling Kuang shook his head and said.
"It's all a matter of a very, very long time ago. There's no point in talking too much."
"What has passed, need not be mentioned again."
He clearly didn't want to say much about this matter.
But the more he said that, the more curious Lin Muci became. However, since Ling Kuang was unwilling to say, she decided to ask the little system later.
It definitely knew.
Ling Qianhe's gaze fell on the bracelet on her wrist, and with just one glance, he saw its mystery.
"This is—a shielding device?"
"It's good to have a shielding device on your wrist. Otherwise—"
He snorted lightly, his voice revealing a hint of possessiveness.
"For those who have seen your true face, I wish I could dig out their eyes."
And Lin Muci, hearing his almost fierce tone, looked up at him and scratched her head.
"Why are you yelling and killing? This is outside, not the eighth prison. And those people are not bad people."
"And I haven't settled the score with you yet! I know now that I am a female beast, and a female beast with strong reproductive capabilities, extremely precious."
"According to the people here, whatever I want, they will give me. They cherish me immensely. Unlike you, who is reluctant to even give me a sip of milk."
"Me being locked up in prison was a complete waste of talent, do you understand? A waste of talent!"
Hearing her speak so seriously, the man before her suddenly leaned down.
His face came very close to hers, his eyes staring at her with burning intensity.
She heard the man before her say.
"Back then, you were just a fox. I didn't know you would differentiate into your current appearance."
"Besides, I was the prison warden, and you were the prisoner. What kind of treatment did you expect?"
"Didn't I raise you by my side?"
Lin Muci was still angry about this!
"But you didn't want me anymore!"
"You threw me out, saying I failed to differentiate and was useless!"
"If I hadn't gotten separated from Dad, and no one outside recognized me, I wouldn't have paid attention to you... You were cold and didn't treat me well at all..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the man's eyelashes tremble slightly, and then he kissed her almost without hesitation.
His lips touched her lips in an instant.
His lips were so hot they could almost burn, and in his eyes, countless shimmering stars seemed to float. He hugged her waist tightly, with such force as if he wanted to embed her entire body into his embrace.
"I will treat you well from now on."
"I never abandoned you."
"It's just that I didn't expect..."
"You are the special one."
He watched the blush spread across her face, his eyelashes trembled for a moment, and he kissed her lips again, like a butterfly flying over the sea.
She was in a daze, he held her tightly, and said seriously.
"I know now."
"I want you."
"I want you to always be by my side."
"I don't care what others think of you."
"No matter how many people like you, you can only be my female beast."
"If others dare to covet you, I will kill them."
His tone was serious, and he didn't feel anything wrong with his threatening words at all. Lin Muci only felt a headache. This guy was still holding her tightly, not giving her any space to breathe. Her face turned red, and she glared at Ling Kuang.
The man opposite her was about to speak, but suddenly frowned.
"Who?"
The female beast in his arms was pressed against the wall by him, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with moisture, and she was dazed by his kiss.
And outside, a girl emerged, pointing at them tremblingly.
"How dare you be so bold, in broad daylight, to do such... such illicit and shameful things!"
"I'm going to tell my father and brother to kick you out!"
Lin Muci huddled in Ling Kuang's arms, but the voice sounded faintly familiar to her. Ling Kuang, however, coldly glanced at the girl before him, a playful cold smile appearing in his eyes.
"Female beast?"
"This is no place for a female beast to be."
The girl opposite them stomped her foot in anger.
"My brother brought me in to see the Executive Councillor. He's going to be a lecturer, and my brother brought me to see—otherwise he'd never see me. It's all that damned female beast's fault!"
"He secretly hid her away, and insisted on marrying her. My brother said that even the Executive Councillor cannot do such a taboo thing!"
"And the one who is engaged to him is me..."
"Wait, why do you care about me appearing here? You're the one doing shameful things! Who are you? You're not a student here, are you?"
"Not a student, yet you come to seduce students from the Mecha Academy. That's an even greater crime!"
"Being intimate in broad daylight, aren't you ashamed? I'll go tell the Executive Councillor to kick you, you shameless thing out!"
"I want to call people to see you two scoundrels!"
Lin Muci curled up in Ling Kuang's arms. She helplessly rolled her eyes secretly, feeling very troubled, because she had already guessed how Ling Kuang would respond.
As expected.
He smiled. His face, which was extraordinarily handsome, showed a smile that was full of intrigue. Then he said.
"Call people?"
"Call the Executive Councillor?"
"If the Executive Councillor you're referring to is Yang Lanyan, then that's fine. I'll wait for him here. I sincerely hope he doesn't fail to come."
The girl opposite looked confused, but still turned around angrily to go and complain.
Ling Kuang, with one hand still on her waist, leaned into her ear and said seriously.
"I want everyone to see clearly—"
He paused, then said without any hesitation.
"You are mine."
