The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 156: He Carries a Sickly Greed

Su Ruan once again nodded firmly, repeating her earlier words.

"I will definitely save you!"

Even though her spiritual power was only at B now, she would grow. Although she didn’t know her ultimate limit, she believed that she could purify an Energy Stone that could save him.

Hearing Su Ruan’s promise, Lu Shinian chuckled lowly.

"Hmm, I’ll wait for that day."

He clearly understood the underlying meaning in her words.

But the greedy and selfish thoughts couldn’t help but surge in his heart.

If his Ruan Ruan became strong, wouldn’t she easily break free from his restraints?

She could fly higher and freer, while he could only stand beneath the sky, greedily and discontentedly watching her fly joyfully and freely.

If that day truly came, would he really be content just to watch her?

Lu Shinian had always been a person of foresight, and similarly, when it came to Su Ruan’s "future," he could increasingly foresee her uncontrollable future.

He stared straight at Su Ruan in front of him, his eyes gradually sketching her face as if he were a hungry wolf in the wilderness, greedily drooling over the prey before him.

His spiritual power tendrils slowly approached Su Ruan, carrying a morbid greed, gently caressing every inch of her skin.

Until...

"Brother Lu?" A soft voice rang in Lu Shinian’s ears, pulling back his drifting thoughts.

Lu Shinian retracted his spiritual power, gathering all his thoughts in the heart back to tranquility.

Seeing that he came back to his senses, Su Ruan brought up the main topic.

"Da Hu, how do you plan to handle it?"

Lu Shinian sighed lightly, his fingers gently stroking Su Ruan’s hair, "The same as with those people before."

Even if the true identity of that tiger couldn’t be verified, after the competition, it would be secretly sent to the "Forbidden Land," which should have been its destination.

He was just bringing everything back to the starting point.

Though she had already guessed this answer, Su Ruan’s heart still tightened a bit upon hearing it confirmed by Lu Shinian.

She moved a little closer to Lu Shinian and said softly, "Do you think Pure Energy Stones can make them better?"

Lu Shinian pressed his lips together and shook his head.

In fact, when Su Ruan took out those Pure Energy Stones, Lu Shinian had already sent two over to the Forbidden Land and used them on a completely beastified fox.

Unfortunately, that fox showed no improvement.

After complete beastification, the Spiritual Sea of a high Spiritual Power User had completely withered, even to the point that there was no longer any existence of a Spiritual Sea.

Since there’s no Spiritual Sea, the energy from the Energy Stone was naturally useless to them, they couldn’t absorb it at all, let alone anything else.

Hearing this answer, Su Ruan’s eyes dimmed.

While the two were talking, Qi Chen took out a Nutritional Supplement from the fire pit next to them, passing it to Da Hu lying by his side, and said in a low voice, "Da Hu, do you want to drink a Nutritional Supplement?"

It seemed like Da Hu rolled its eyes.

Tiger Tiger won’t drink something that looks so unappetizing.

Qi Chen didn’t see its eye roll and pulled open the cap of the Nutritional Supplement, bringing it to Da Hu’s mouth, indicating for it to drink.

Across from him, seeing this, Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Captain Qi, are you stupid? How can a tiger drink a Nutritional Supplement?"

Qi Chen looked up at Qian Duoduo briefly and didn’t intend to pay him any mind.

"Da Hu, this is a Nutritional Supplement, it’s tasty," he continued.

Da Hu flicked its tail, turned its tiger head away, and simply ignored Qi Chen.

Tiger Tiger isn’t going to fall for you bad humans’ tricks, he knows this Nutritional Supplement tastes the worst, it has no flavor, and he doesn’t like it at all.

Thinking about it, Da Hu paused, curious about why he would have such a thought?

Oh, right, he used to be a person.

As a person, he must have drunk a lot of such unappetizing things, right?

Being human was indeed unpleasant. Da Hu thought, pulling out a bright red apple from under his paw.

It was an apple he managed to get from Su Ruan with difficulty; today was the only one, and he had to eat it sparingly.

Thinking about it, Da Hu couldn’t help but lick the apple under his paw.

Tiger Tiger couldn’t resist anymore; Tiger Tiger really wanted to eat.

Seeing the apple under Da Hu’s paw, Qi Chen was slightly stunned.

As far as he knew, tigers were truly carnivorous animals; they wouldn’t eat something like apples.

But the Da Hu in front of him was drooling over it, was this apple special, or...

Qi Chen’s gaze at Da Hu became strange, yet at this time, Da Hu, wrestling with the decision of whether to eat the apple, completely ignored Qi Chen’s peculiar gaze.

Across from him, Qian Duoduo was still mocking Qi Chen, while Zhang Laoer, very protective of his team captain, started arguing with Qian Duoduo, making the scene lively again.

Here, hidden under the dense foliage, Lu Shinian and Su Ruan both fell silent.

After a while, Su Ruan spoke softly, "Brother Lu, how’s the research on the black caterpillar going?"

Lu Shinian briefly explained the issue of the "Soul-devouring Worm."

"In a few days, the research department will produce the detection equipment. Everyone participating in this military tournament will need to undergo a test."

Su Ruan nodded thoughtfully, remembering the Zerg invasion war that might occur ten years later, she reached out, clutching the hem of Lu Shinian’s clothes, her fingertips tense and slightly white, "Brother Lu, do you think this Soul-devouring Worm is here to probe?"

Lu Shinian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"If it is a probe, then..."

The Federation could be in danger.

The Insect Race, a species appearing in the interstellar, had always been notoriously infamous because they ate everything, the most troublesome part being they only obey the Insect Queen.

In battle, with just one order from the Insect Queen, they would charge to their death without hesitation. Once entangled, unless the Insect Queen perishes, there is no other way out.

The invasion of the Insect Race happened almost every few hundred years, each time ending with the immense sacrifice of humans to kill the Insect Queen.

A few hundred years later, as a new Insect Queen emerged, the insect army would rise again.

Fortunately, the Insect Queen knew nothing of tactics; perhaps because they relied on the strength of their species or perhaps due to genuine stupidity, every battle they only knew to direct the Insect Race below to charge recklessly.

So, ten years ago, he used all sorts of strategies and traps to kill the Insect Queen.

Simply put, the kind of Insect Race, they do not understand any conspiracies or intrigues, let alone probing.

If it truly was a probe, it could only mean that within the newly born Insect Queen or the Insect Race, an intelligent one had emerged.

This is definitely not good news.
