Chapter 14: Go Back and Run Wild in Your Own Territory

This man was none other than the “neighbor” of Ye Moxi and the Cat-Eye Girl.

“Then go back and cause trouble on your own Bear family’s turf! If either of these two travelers suffers any harm today, I’ll have you sent to a military tribunal!”

A voice colder than Xiong Baimo’s rang out.

The man wore a simple combat uniform, his figure tall and graceful, exuding an imposing aura. His brows and eyes were hidden behind flowing silver sunglasses, yet just standing there, he radiated an overwhelming pressure.

Xiong Baimo was also an heir carefully groomed by his family, but his presence paled significantly in comparison.

“Y-You… who are you? State your name…”

“Captain Feng Yanhui of the First Combat Team, First Legion!”

The man tapped his forehead lightly; the flowing silver sunglasses retracted, and his aura instantly grew even colder and more formidable.

Those holding Ye Moxi and the Cat-Eye Girl involuntarily took a step back.

Their daggers wavered in their hands.

This was the empire’s mightiest weapon! Such misfortune—it was uncertain if they could complete their mission smoothly…

The Cat-Eye Girl’s fingers behind her back made two subtle gestures.

Several Star Pirates shuddered. If they handed the item over to the young master amid the chaos, even if they died at the hands of the Bear family, their families would at least receive a hefty sum of interstellar credits. But if they returned the item to the Bears, survival was uncertain, and their families wouldn’t live either! Worse yet, they might even become the young master’s “playthings”...

The young master’s methods of torment were truly atrocious!

“Don’t come any closer! And you all…”

Several Star Pirates retreated, holding the Cat-Eye Girl and Ye Moxi hostage.

The Star Pirates were burly, each over six feet tall. Ye Moxi was forced to tilt her head up, her eyes meeting Feng Yanhui’s—a pair of sword-like brows and starry eyes, his cold and noble demeanor left her stunned for three seconds.

Indeed! She wasn’t afflicted with some skin hunger disorder for no reason! Such a visage would have made him a top-tier celebrity in her previous life!

There was even an inexplicable sense of familiarity… God only knew, since she was notoriously face-blind!

“I don’t care what personal grudges you have, release them immediately!”

“We can’t! They stole from our Bear family…”

Feng Yanhui raised an eyebrow.

Xiong Baimo clenched his teeth.

“They took the gift I prepared to celebrate our ancestor’s birthday!”

The one holding the Cat-Eye Girl snorted coldly.

“What? Even your Bear family has secrets you can’t speak of? It’s just a Bodhi…”

“Shut up!”

Xiong Baimo pointed his laser gun at him without hesitation.

“I advise you to surrender! You won’t escape—don’t waste your efforts struggling…”

He had already notified his great-uncle.

By now, the great-uncle should be en route with reinforcements, ready to intercept.

“You’d better not act rashly! Otherwise, it’ll be a fight to the death!”

Among those holding Ye Moxi and the others, one raised an ornate box.

Ye Moxi caught a glimpse with her peripheral vision.

A somewhat familiar scent wafted forth… Bodhi Lotus!

If she had known the Bear family wanted the Bodhi Lotus, she would have paid even more!

No! Ten times more.

Her palm tightened.

The Cat-Eye Girl spoke: “Sister, don’t be afraid! I’m here with you…”

My thanks to you, indeed!

Ye Moxi thought irritably.

She had not only clashed with the Bear family—

But the Bear family plus any unrelated women was a lethal combination!

Last time it was Dili, now it was the Cat-Eye Girl!

While the others were distracted by the standoff, Ye Moxi slowly moved her empty hand toward the arm of the man behind her, who gripped a dagger.

“Sister, don’t move! You’ll get cut…”

Just as Ye Moxi prepared to throw the man over her shoulder in one swift move, the Cat-Eye Girl’s voice suddenly rose.

“What do you want to do?”

The dagger pressed tighter; Ye Moxi tried to dodge but had no room to move. The sharp blade grazed her skin, drawing a bead of blood.

Ye Moxi’s fists clenched fiercely!

Sure enough, the Cat-Eye Girl was also at odds with her!

The struggle in her palm grew stronger, but the Cat-Eye Girl still held Ye Moxi’s hand tightly.

This was a prey she had long coveted and couldn’t let escape!

Feng Yanhui’s eyes flickered.

Something was off…

He suddenly tried to lunge forward, intending to suck the blood droplet from Ye Moxi’s neck!

What was happening?

The Cat-Eye Girl’s expression stiffened as well. She wanted to—

She wanted to pounce on Ye Moxi, bite through her skin, and drink her fresh blood…

Although the Star Pirates were depraved, they hadn’t stooped to eating flesh and drinking blood. But why did she feel such a yearning for the “sister” she regarded as prey?

“Sister, does it hurt? Ah, you’re bleeding! Let me wipe it for you…”

She had truly had enough!

Ye Moxi’s palm suddenly shot forth thorny vines, piercing the Cat-Eye Girl’s hand.

The Cat-Eye Girl cried out in pain and released Ye Moxi’s hand.

Ye Moxi then grabbed the arm of the man behind her and hurled him over her shoulder to the ground.

Feng Yanhui moved instantly.

He quickly knocked out the man holding the Cat-Eye Girl with a single punch.

Xiong Baimo, trained professionally, swiftly led others to subdue the remaining Star Pirates.

“Sister, why didn’t you save me?”

After breaking free, the Cat-Eye Girl clung to Ye Moxi again.

“Don’t come near!”

Ye Moxi held the wound on her neck with one hand, while thorny vines lashed out from the other arm, her gaze distant. The Cat-Eye Girl seemed wounded, her fragile expression on the verge of shattering.

“We’re mere acquaintances; we’re not that close. I can’t accept being called ‘sister.’”

“Sister, I’m just concerned about you…”

“Thanks, but I don’t need that.”

Ye Moxi just wanted to get away from this group! Unfortunately, the journey was only halfway done.

“Need some medicine?”

Feng Yanhui asked.

“Thanks!”

Seeing he kept a safe distance, Ye Moxi accepted without hesitation. She took the medicine and pressed the button on the spatial shield, instantly cutting off all disturbances.

The Cat-Eye Girl’s face darkened. She had been rejected!

Moreover, “sister” was now wary of her!

Ye Moxi thought: Could it be that I’ve always been on guard against you?

Xiong Baimo took the ornate box and left. Naturally, someone would handle the remaining Star Pirates.

Feng Yanhui glanced at the Cat-Eye Girl without a word, then returned to his seat.

The Cat-Eye Girl activated the spatial shield, crossed her legs, and toyed with a sixth-grade medicinal plant wrapped in cryofilm—the Bodhi Lotus.

The Bodhi Lotus ranged from milky white to creamy yellow, with eight petals and a dark brown seed resembling a Bodhi nut at its center, from which it took its name.

Legend held that the nine-petaled Bodhi Lotus was a sacred treasure! Sadly, it had long since vanished. Even the eight-petaled Bodhi Lotus now was a rare and precious specimen.

The old man was growing old and afraid of death! He stuffed into himself anything that might prolong life. If you asked her, he’d live longer if he didn’t sleep with those women!

Still, with the old man around, she could live recklessly, so he must live a few more years after all.

Her sharp eyes flicked to the side.

Sister…

Her crimson tongue licked her lips.

Sister’s blood smells so sweet, I want to...
