“Not bad, not bad.” Ji Zining was very satisfied. But there was still something she wished to know. “Do you not wish to blow something up?”

“I want to, but I’m afraid of hurting people,” Little Bai Hechou said, shaking his head. “Papa said that a person should be kind and benevolent. We cannot do things that harm others, so I don’t blow things up.”

“This child.” The more Ji Zining looked at little Bai Hechou, the more she liked him. Now, she could not bear to turn little Bai Hechou into a killing machine. So, after she had carefully considered, she suddenly pointed to the sky and said, “Little fella, there are three deserted carriers in space now. The carriers are huge and it will be troublesome if they fell down to Earth. Why don’t you blow them up?”

“Will they really drop down?” Little Bai Hechou thought about it and decisively nodded. “In that case, I’ll go now!”

Poof! With another sound, little Bai Hechou instantly disappeared.

Shortly, in space just outside Earth, in front of the three Second-Order Stellar Carriers mutilated by the King Zergs.

Because of the emergence of the King Zergs, these three Stellar-level Space Carriers had been mutilated beyond recognition. There were no longer any people inside. They were just like pieces of scrap metal floating in space.

Anyway, little Bai Hechou did not really understand what was happening, but he knew that it would be very troublesome if the three carriers fell onto Earth, so he clenched his fists decisively.

“Pop!” Suddenly, almost half of those bone armor on little Bai Hechou’s body opened up, exposing the transparent crystal inside!

The energy from the transparent crystal in the bone armor reacted with that from the crystal on the outside of his body and an uncountable amount of dark energy coalesced around his body. In a short time, they formed into four dark energy balls!

“Dark Energy Cannon!” Little Bai Hechou aimed at the carriers. “Fire!”

Boom! Four beams of dark energy that were at least five meters across shot out!

The dark energy started off about five meters across. As they traveled outwards, their size increased exponentially. By the time they reached the three space carriers, they had grown to over one hundred kilometers wide!

Pitch darkness!

Four dark energy cannons, each four hundred kilometers across, completely swallowed up the three Second-Order Stellar Space Carriers.

When the residual rays of the dark energy cannon faded out, the three Second-Order Stellar Space Carriers had completely disappeared from the universe.

“Hehe, Earth should be safe now!” Having done his job, little Bai Hechou grinned. With a “whoosh”, he flew towards Earth.

...

In a small space carrier.

The three Galaxy Aristocrats Yin Tianzong, Jiang Qianxue, and Feng Wuhen were in the cockpit. Yin Tianzong gritted his teeth and said, “When I get back, I’m going to make sure Li Tianxing gets into so much trouble. That shameless fellow actually abandoned us at the crucial hour! If we were not lucky, we would be Zerg food! I cannot let this go like that. No way!”

Jiang Qianxue and Feng Wuhen both nodded fiercely. However, Jiang Qianxue said hurriedly, “Tianzong, don’t be in a hurry to report him. I just realized something very important.”

“Ah, don’t report him? If I do not report him, do we just leave him be?” Yin Tianzong said in surprise. “He abandoned us and escaped in our time of need! We almost died because of him! Even I, from the Roth clan, joined the fight and he actually ran off. How can I tolerate that?”

Feng Wuhen was surprised, but he knew Jiang Qianxue had always been smart. He quickly asked, “Qianxue, did you think of something? Tell us about it so we can be prepared.”

“Yes, it is something very important.” Jiang Qianxue said slowly, “Think about it, on our way back, Xinxin said that it would be inconvenient for their people to show themselves when they returned as things would be troublesome if the Galaxy Aristocrats found out what was happening, correct? If we go back and report Li Tianxing, what would happen?”

“What would happen...” Feng Wuhen rubbed his chin. “We would be interrogated about how we managed to return alive.”

“That’s right.” Jiang Qianxue nodded and said, “That way, Hong Dali’s fusion with the Emperor Beetle would be exposed. If that happens, the outcome is unpredictable. With the Elders’ temper, they would rather make a mistake and kill a thousand people wrongly rather than allow one to slip through. It does not matter that Dali might retain his humanity after the fusion. They would definitely want to get rid of him as soon as possible.”

Jiang Qianxue was not worrying unnecessarily.

Hong Dali fused with the Golden Emperor Beetle. If one thought about it optimistically, Hong Dali would be able to control the Zerg. Otherwise, he would still be controlling the Zerg, but he would be making them kill humans. There was a 50% chance of either happening. However, the Elders would not allow for any accidents.

After all, that was too dangerous.

If a super powerful Star Knight who was telepathically linked to the Emperor Beetle was born, that would be a disaster for the Milky Way. In the face of such a situation, it was best to eliminate all possibilities of that happening.

Another point to note was that if the fusion failed and Hong Dali died, that would be when the Emperor Beetle was at its weakest. No matter what, the Elders would definitely send out their strongest fleets to destroy the Golden Emperor Beetle. That was the safest option.

They would rather take no credit than make a mistake. Therefore, to Jiang Qianxue, this matter had to be further considered in depth!

“That is very highly likely.” Yin Tianzong quickly understood the implications and also felt troubled. “But Dali is my brother, and so far, it seems the fusion is going smoothly. There does not seem to be any major changes. Furthermore, Sister Zining seems quite easy to talk to, isn’t it? I don’t think the Elders will attack immediately, right?”

“That’s what you think. Will the elders listen to you?” Jiang Qianxue said, troubled, “I think even my grandfather will not lightly decide to let Hong Dali off.”

“Definitely.” Feng Wuhen frowned. “To be honest, I’m not so sure either. Do you think there will be a big change in Hong Dali’s character after the fusion? It’s an Emperor Beetle, after fusing he becomes a Star Knight. According to White Beard Mister, that is one of the most powerful beings in the entire universe. If we encounter it this time, it’s not a simple matter of locking it up or avoiding it.”

“That will not happen.” Jiang Qianxue was very sure about this. “Dali said before that he would die if he did not squander. I don’t know how that came about, but it’s obvious he has to live amongst humans if he wants to squander. So, he will not attack us, that is for sure. He has so many secrets even I cannot get them straight. However, judging by the attitude of the people around him, the possibility that he would become a cold-blooded killer is very low.”

Jiang Qianxue was right about him having to squander or he would die...

“All right, you win. Let’s take a gamble!” Feng Wuhen looked at the energy gem in his hand and nodded vehemently. “I think if we bet on Dali, we will have a lot more benefit if we win! Do you have any good suggestions?”

“I did think of something earlier.” Jiang Qianxue thought carefully and suddenly laughed. She pulled Feng Wuhen and Yin Tianzong close and whispered, “We can... do this, and this, like this!”

...

Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, four days had passed. Hong Dali’s Health bottoming, there were only about twenty points left. In ten hours, Hong Dali would become a vegetable...

“God, have they not started squandering yet?” Hong Dali shouted desperately. “I can’t hold on much longer.”

Tang Muxin was getting anxious too. “Dali, how are things on your side? Can you hold on?”

“I can’t hold on if they are not squandering!” Hong Dali was so weak he could barely lift his arm. “I can only move my mouth now, the rest of my body is too weak! Squander! Why are those useless fools not squandering yet! If they don’t start squandering, I am going to die!”

God, Hong Dali definitely had to squander to live!

Tang Muxin paled and said anxiously, “What should we do? I don’t know where Sister Xiaoyi and the rest are!”

“In that case, I can only wait and die!” Hong Dali did not even have the mood to cry. Damn, who would have thought he would encounter something like this? He was losing one Health point every hour. Damn this Emperor Beetle, when he got out he was going to eat it up!

However, no matter how furious he was, he could not get out. Hong Dali was thus angry and depressed.

“Damn, I am still a virgin! Such a big member and I have not used it yet! When I get out, I must try it out...” In his hazy state, this was Hong Dali’s last thought.
