The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 286: Energy Stone Laden with Sister’s Aura
Chaos Star, a dark night with high winds, evil spreading and growing.
In the dark alley, Duan Mengjun’s arm was still bleeding.
The green blood looked sticky and disgusting, the color Duan Mengjun hated the most.
She covered her arm, her breath weak, seemingly on the verge of death.
For some reason, a beam of light shot in from the front.
Duan Mengjun squinted to see, only to spot a man emerging from the void.
"Huh?"
The man spoke.
"There’s an Insect Person here."
Duan Mengjun was very aware that the man’s sudden mention of "Insect Person" referred to her.
She propped herself up, standing with a hint of coldness in her expression.
"Who are you?"
"Me?" The man pointed to himself, "Cheng Qingye."
He gently stroked the Light Brain on his left wrist, seemingly troubled.
"You saw me, now what?"
His tone was airy, without emotion.
"Looks like I have to kill."
Duan Mengjun’s pupils constricted.
The man did not move, yet she felt as if her throat was being gripped by large hands, struggling to breathe.
The invisible large hands raised her little by little, unable to struggle, her body slowly lifting off the ground.
The sensation of suffocation surrounded her, and the fear of death descended upon her heart.
With a "clatter," something dropped from her clothes pocket.
"Huh?" Cheng Qingye uttered softly. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Duan Mengjun just felt the invisible hands release, dropping her to the ground, extremely embarrassed.
At her feet, there was a Level 3 Pure Energy Stone, given to her by Su Ruan before leaving Central Star.
"Sister’s scent." Cheng Qingye brought the Pure Energy Stone to his eyes using spiritual power, noticing some green blood on it and despising it, so he only held it with spiritual power instead of touching it.
"Where did you get this thing?" he asked, turning to Duan Mengjun.
Duan Mengjun coughed a few times, already heavily injured, and worn out by Cheng Qingye, leaving her with little strength.
"I..."
As soon as she uttered a word, a dizzying sensation overwhelmed her.
She fainted.
Seeing her faint, Cheng Qingye frowned slightly.
"Troublesome."
He lifted Duan Mengjun using spiritual power, taking her to a random place, waiting for her to wake up.
At dawn, Duan Mengjun finally woke up.
She still hurt greatly, and her wounds seemingly went untreated.
However, she didn’t hope for anything more; in Chaos Star, this was the norm.
Duan Mengjun sat up, looking at the man not far away, coughing lightly.
"Who on earth are you?"
Cheng Qingye sensed her waking up instantly and responded indifferently upon hearing her inquiry: "Cheng Qingye."
Duan Mengjun didn’t recognize anyone named Cheng Qingye, she pursed her lips and touched herself, noticing the Pure Energy Stones from Su Ruan were gone.
Could this person be here for the Pure Energy Stones?
Cheng Qingye fiddled with two Pure Energy Stones, their green bloodstains already cleaned off by him using spiritual power, now filled with the energy of Su Ruan’s scent.
The only peculiar thing to Cheng Qingye was the lack of energy in these stones.
Energy-less stones were merely waste stones, right?
Yet, because they were covered in his sister’s scent, Cheng Qingye didn’t throw them away, playing with them in his palm.
"Where did this come from?" he asked again.
Duan Mengjun tightly pursed her lips, refusing to answer.
The man before her was uncertainly friend or foe; she absolutely wouldn’t betray Su Ruan.
Seeing Duan Mengjun’s refusal to answer, a trace of doubt crossed Cheng Qingye’s eyes.
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
"Your tongue isn’t pulled out."
Duan Mengjun’s pupils shrank, this was undoubtedly a threat, a naked threat.
Yet she remained tight-lipped, unwilling to utter a word.
"Troublesome." Cheng Qingye frowned, tapping lightly on his Light Brain, sending a message to his second brother.
[Second Brother, I’m at Chaos Star XXX, XXX. I saw a woman carrying energy stones with sister’s scent. Come and take her away for interrogation.]
This woman was human after all. Matters concerning humans were better left to Second Brother to handle.
To avoid giving certain people an excuse to blame the Insect Race later.
As the newly appointed king of the Insect Race, Cheng Qingye cared about the race’s external image now.
No matter how things were before, as long as he is king for a day, no tarnish can be left on the Insect Race.
Su Heyuan was also on Chaos Star, without the buffer of distance, Cheng Qingye’s message instantly reached Su Heyuan.
Su Heyuan almost immediately replied: [Okay, I’ll come right away.]
Ten minutes later, a hovercar stopped before Cheng Qingye.
Su Heyuan stepped off, "Third Brother."
Cheng Qingye nodded, "Second Brother."
He pointed to Duan Mengjun not far away, "It’s this woman."
Su Heyuan looked toward the direction Cheng Qingye pointed, spotting Duan Mengjun sitting on the ground, completely disheveled.
"Duan Mengjun?" He frowned.
"Second Brother, you know her?" Cheng Qingye’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, "If you know her, ask where she got these two energy stones?"
Not far away, Duan Mengjun was also greatly surprised to see Su Heyuan, and even more by what the two men said.
This strange man was actually Su Heyuan’s third brother?
These two look nothing alike.
While she was in a daze, Su Heyuan already walked up to her.
"What’s the deal with those two energy stones?" he asked.
Duan Mengjun pursed her lips before speaking: "Su Ruan gave them to me."
"Hmm? Sister gave them to you?" Cheng Qingye approached from behind, "No wonder."
No wonder they were covered in his sister’s scent.
His gaze fell on Duan Mengjun, nodding in a mock serious manner, "Good thing I didn’t kill you."
Otherwise, sister would surely be saddened.
Sister was always kind and fragile, she’d cry for half a day if an ant died, not to mention if someone she knew died, her eyes would probably swell from crying.
Listening to Cheng Qingye’s mutterings, Su Heyuan’s mouth twitched.
Even after so many years, he still doesn’t quite understand Third Brother’s thinking.
Probably because Third Brother is of the Insect Race, so he is especially different from him and Big Brother.
The Insect Race naturally has its own logic for doing things, so there’s no need to ask too much.
Su Heyuan withdrew his wandering thoughts, seeing Duan Mengjun covered in blood, slightly frowning.
"You’re injured, come back with me first."
Duan Mengjun nodded, her face pale from excessive blood loss, her body thin and pitiable, as if she would topple with a gust of wind.
If it were anyone else seeing Duan Mengjun like this, they would definitely be sympathetic.
But unfortunately, standing before her was Su Heyuan, whose only desire was for family reunion, and another who was a pure-blooded Insect, so neither had any sympathy.
