Chapter 4: The Tang Dynasty—What Is Happening?
Page 1/3
Mercenaries from the Safe Zone once boasted about thriving planets. They claimed that some families on these prosperous worlds specifically raised young, beautiful girls who either hadn’t awakened their powers or possessed very low talent. When sentinels—those on the verge of genetic collapse, turning into beasts—needed heirs, they would buy such girls to secure their lineage.
Of course, this required considerable wealth or strong family backing; otherwise, no girl would willingly bear a child at such a young age.
Different paths, no common cause! She could understand their desire to avoid misfortune, but she had no intention of staying with them any longer.
She needed to find a way out—return home!
Xi Mo did not yet realize how desperate she was becoming.
“Yuan Xi, what are you doing?” Man Erya anxiously grabbed Ye Mo Xi’s clothes.
Ye Mo Xi disliked physical contact with strangers, frowned, and stepped back.
“While it’s still immobilized, I have to find the supplies that were dropped.”
“We’ll come with you…”
Ye Mo Xi hesitated.
She knew that even if she refused, they would follow anyway, so she said nothing more. After all, the supplies belonged to everyone; she would only take her share.
The three girls soon disappeared.
Not long after, the giant beast lying on the ground stirred awake—though now it was in human form!
The naked man’s muscles bulged, towering and imposing like an iron tower, his face stern but somewhat disheveled as he struggled to stand.
His eyes, nose, and mouth all throbbed with pain; traces of blood stained his nose and lips, and several teeth felt loose…
His head ached fiercely!
“Tang Chao, what happened?”
He shook his head and shouted at the hidden camera in the corner.
He knew his frenzy level had reached a critical point, nearly causing genetic collapse. He also knew that his trusted aide had secretly sent him to Desert Planet 3 and even prepared women in the quarantine zone to bear his heirs…
“You… were just beaten…”
“Nonsense! Do you think I don’t know I was beaten? I’m asking who hit me!”
“It was… the Legion Commander. Are you conscious now?”
“Conscious? What happened to me?”
“You completely lost your senses earlier… when you tried to hunt one of the girls, she…”
Beat him down!
“Are you kidding me?”
When he lost control, his combat power was equivalent to a 3S-class sentinel. Anything below 3S couldn’t stand against him, yet they said a girl knocked him down? And a girl bought to bear his offspring, no less?
Tang Chao shrank back behind the screen.
He wanted to joke, but he really couldn’t! And maybe it was just his imagination, but whenever he thought of that girl, he remembered the staff she wielded so masterfully—and chills ran down his spine.

“Forget it! Scan my current frenzy level…”
“Yes, Legion Commander!”
Seconds later, Tang Chao’s voice rang out again, tinged with inexplicable excitement.
“Legion Commander, your frenzy level has dropped to 69%…”
With the Legion Commander’s current strength, anything below 70% was absolutely safe!
He had been knocked from 91% down to 69% just by taking a beating?
Wah, he wanted to get beaten too!
“I knew it! That wretched Miao Qingtian must be scheming against me again!”
Tang Chao’s excitement was abruptly shattered.
Indeed! He had been too caught up in his feelings. The Legion Commander’s frenzy level might have been tampered with! Otherwise, how could it have dropped to a safe value in such a short time?
“What’s the situation with the Third Legion? Quickly send a ship to pick me up! I want to settle this with that bastard Miao Qingtian!”
“Yes, Legion Commander! As for those three girls…”
“Take them all with you and send them back!”
Saying this, the man glared at the screen. If it weren’t for Tang Chao’s loyal heart, he would have beaten him up first!
...
“Yuan Xi, you really won’t come with us?”
“No! I just knocked down that flood dragon—he’ll hold a grudge. I’d rather not stay with you all; it’s safer this way. You have their contact info; wait until he’s sober to return.”
Ye Mo Xi hoisted her pack and waved goodbye to Man Erya and the others.
She hadn’t crossed over just to bear a man’s child!
Moreover, she needed to return as quickly as possible and… seek revenge!
Ye Mo Xi’s kindness was not so easily taken advantage of! Especially after the incident on Desert Planet, she and the one who attacked her had become mortal enemies!
As for that Dili… she would make her pay a heavy price!
An hour later, Man Erya and Lu Xiaohe sat on the ground, gasping for breath, still unable to set up the tent.
Man Erya felt hopeless.
“Yuan Xi’s clearly from the Border Systems; she should be able to set up the tent easily…”
“Didn’t you see how quickly she distanced herself from us?” Lu Xiaohe snapped.
“We… haven’t been fair!”
When danger came, they didn’t help Yuan Xi and only focused on escaping themselves.
“But didn’t you give her some hemostatic medicine?”
Man Erya looked away awkwardly.

She had given the cheapest kind from their storage space!
Even in the Safe Zone, it was the kind sold at a low price. Yuan Xi left with only one portion of nutrient fluid and healing medicine, leaving the tent and self-defense weapons to them.
“Forget it! Let’s rest a bit and then get to work.”
The tent had a built-in defense system, offering them some protection.
Lu Xiaohe nodded.
But soon, over a dozen well-equipped sentinels surrounded them.
Leading them was an S-class sentinel.
The two girls clung to each other for support.
“Man Erya, Lu Xiaohe… where’s Dili?”
“She left on her own…”
The sentinel frowned.
Then thought better of it—after all, they had already given a hefty compensation to their families, and the agreement clearly stated no responsibility for life or death.
If she wanted to die on her own, it was no one’s fault but hers.
“Now, both of you come with us. We’ll send you home afterward…”
“We… we don’t need that…”
“Your mission is over! Remember what you should say and what you shouldn’t…”
Once aboard the ship, instruments would erase their memories, so they wouldn’t remember what happened here.
“Legion Commander, we didn’t find that Dili. Apparently, she left on her own…”
“Left?”
The man, now dressed in a sharp military uniform, sneered.
“Really fearless! What does she think this Desert Planet is? Fine! A cheap caged canary—if she dies, she dies! All units, return to base!”
“Yes, Legion Commander!”
...
Elsewhere,
Ye Mo Xi tossed the empty bag of high-grade nutrient fluid aside.
This family was quite generous!
She clapped her hands and summoned the white orb from her spiritual sea—the companion beast soul, a fiery red qilin beast!
