Chapter 268: Chapter 272: Interstellar Female Anchor (19)

Qian Jin was no longer concerned about getting any benefits from Bo Xiaomi, he was completely terrified and just wanted to get as far away from her as quickly as possible.

It was not hard to discern the truth behind the situation from the screams of horror that came from Bo Xiaomi.

Bo Xiaomi’s face aged rapidly, within a few seconds, she looked like she had been drained dry, turned into a withered corpse, yet she was still clinging to a breath of life.

"I... I don’t want anything anymore, please, I beg you to spare me," Bo Xiaomi’s feeble, barely audible voice kept pleading.

She struggled with her shriveled body but could not escape this torment no matter how she tried.

Qian Jin, in his panic, tried to leave but accidentally bumped into Bo Xiaomi and was immediately grabbed by her dry fingers.

Despite Bo Xiaomi’s ghastly appearance, her seemingly fragile bones tightly gripped Qian Jin’s calf, and no matter how hard he tried to shake her off, he could not.

"Ah Jin, please save me, save me..." Bo Xiaomi’s previously faint presence suddenly burst forth with tremendous energy, her voice, ragged and piercing, filled with longing as she looked at Qian Jin.

"Get away..." Qian Jin kept kicking at Bo Xiaomi with one foot after another.

"Threat detected, eliminating."

Qian Jin suddenly saw a weird smile spread across Bo Xiaomi’s lips, and his heart skipped a beat.

Before he could figure it out, he felt a pulling force coming from Bo Xiaomi’s bony hand.

His spiritual ability was disappearing...

The energy within his body was disappearing...

"What the hell is this, make it stop."

In Bo Xiaomi’s eyes, now filled with terror, a weird mix of mockery and pleasure appeared.

Qian Jin soon followed in Bo Xiaomi’s footsteps.

Qian Jin regretted it. He shouldn’t have held Bo Xiaomi captive because of his unwilling greed; he never imagined he would meet such an end.

As they both completely lost consciousness, it seemed they heard the sound of a satisfied belch.

In the end, Bo Xiaomi suddenly had a realization – there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

If she could start over from the beginning, she definitely would not have disdained her own coarse appearance; no matter how tough it was to cling to life, being alive was still preferable.

Far away from the Federation, in the Void Sea, Su Li suddenly felt something.

She looked towards the endless starry sky, sensing a presence that did not belong to this space that vanished in an instant.

Curious, Su Li layered her spiritual power with Divine Sense to scan the area, but she couldn’t feel it anymore; it was as if she had imagined it.

After thinking it over and unable to come up with any clues, she no longer dwelled on it.

Her life now was quite rich, and she truly didn’t have any spare time to think about other things.

Though Su Li’s reputation was a mix of good and bad, she had become famous throughout the interstellar, even the Insect Race and High-level Void Animals had heard of her.

Now not only did various forces of the Human Race want to win her over or take her hostage, but the Alien Clan, which hated her to the core, also exerted great effort to try to kill her.

Su Li lived her life with extraordinary joy, after all, sparring with others brought endless delight, and clashing with alien clans even enriched her mundane life.

Su Huaiyuan looked on with a headache at Alice, who had been wailing non-stop for four hours in front of him.

He couldn’t understand how his own mother could cry so incessantly for such a long time without a break.

The entire room was littered with tissues smudged with her snot and tears, and his own sleeves were damp here and there with her tears.

At first, he had patiently comforted her, considering she was the mother who loved him to the bone.

But as he listened to Alice repeat the same few words over and over, even Su Huaiyuan’s patience began to fray.

"Huai Yuan, can you go to Daddy again and speak well on my behalf?" she pleaded. "I... I truly didn’t mean to do it, it was just because I was about to get married. I wanted to say goodbye to my first love, but I never expected that just that one time would result in me having you, and I was too scared to tell your father..."

"Now Daddy still can’t let you go, just talk to him, and he will surely agree to let me return to the Su Family..."

Alice cried continuously, her tears and snot unceasing, struggling for breath and devoid of her usual grace and charm.

She looked at Su Huaiyuan with a hopeful gaze, he was now her only hope.

Su Huaiyuan’s brow remained furrowed, and he spoke irritably, "Mom, you know I’m not Daddy’s biological son, and although he’s willing to accept me now, but... for my sake, please stop bringing up returning home for the time being, we can talk about it later. Daddy is obviously still angry right now."

Alice couldn’t believe her beloved son would say such things. She stared at him wide-eyed, full of astonishment and shock, "Huai Yuan... how can you..."

"Do you really want to see your mother living in a place like this?" Alice pointed to their current abode, a cramped and noisy little apartment.

Even with the doors and windows shut tight, the various clamors from the street outside were still audible.

It was a world away from the peaceful spaciousness of the Su Mansion, and to Alice, every additional second spent here was torment.

Not to mention, gone were the days when she had maids and servants to attend to her every need with just a command.

Now, everything had to be done by herself. In just a few days, Alice looked at her hands, now roughened significantly, with breaking heartache.

Su Huaiyuan felt a vascular pulse throb at his temple from Alice’s piercing questioning, and he had to forcefully suppress it, "Mom, can you endure it a while longer? This is a critical time for me; it’s best to wait until Daddy calms down a bit before we revisit this."

Alice was stifled and helpless, "Then transfer some Federation Coins to me..."

Su Huaiyuan replied, "I only have a million in my account, I’ll transfer it all to you."

Alice protested, "What’s this amount good for..."

With a swipe on his Intelligent Brain, Alice’s wrist device lit up almost instantly.

However, she was still unhappy. Although a million might be more than what an ordinary person could earn in ten years, for the old Alice, who wouldn’t blink at a bag costing this much, it felt almost like alms given to a beggar.

She was about to lament further, but Su Huaiyuan wasn’t willing to listen anymore.

After leaving Alice’s place, Su Huaiyuan went straight to the Su Mansion, where Su Shijun was in the living room sipping ancient tea and watching the Federation central news.

Seeing his son return, he didn’t even lift his head and commanded straightaway, "You’re setting off for the Void Sea tomorrow. Apologize to your sister and personally bring her back."

It was different now; although Su Huaiyuan was reluctant, he still silently nodded.

Su Shijun further remarked impassively, "It’s possible that Su Li will give you some hard time, but you should know that, after all, this is what you owe her. Just endure until her anger subsides. Remember, she’s always been fond of her big brother in the past."
