Chapter 1606 - Welcome Back, Mates! (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hao Ren had once thought about asking Salaman to remove Star Cluster X’s divine blockade so that he could more easily maneuver around in the galaxy. But then, after some careful thought, he knew this was impossible. Even though the revolt of the festered inside the sacred land had bypassed the divine blockade, it did not mean that this blockade was unnecessary. Hidden dangers were lurking outside Star Cluster X, and no one knew how many unknown threats the Mad Lord had left behind. The Guardian Legion was already strained in dealing with the festered army. Naturally, it was impossible to remove the divine blockade outside the galaxy.
Having the extra ‘security passes’ was good enough.
The Petrachelys had arrived back in the forward base on the home planet of the Executors. Its arrival was a reminder to the lollygaggers that vacation was over.
In the base, everyone assembled in the square. Hao Ren and Vivian announced the good news of ‘the end of the ban.’ The first one to jump up in joy was Lily, expectedly. “Long live! Mr. Landlord. We can finally get to have fun and not hole up in this goddamn place!”
But something was not right here; supposedly, the husky was enjoying her stay here. After the base expanded into the forest, and Zorm took over the ‘security duty’ in the wilderness, the planet had become a safe place, and people did not have to hole up in the small forward base all day long. Even Rollie had gotten the permission to roam around outside. All the more so when it came to Lily. When she was not going hunting and fishing, she would be chasing the native beasts in the forest. When she felt like it, she would go to the snowfield on the other side of the planet playing the game of survival. To a husky like Lily, it was a paradise on the earth.
But her edgy look now seemed as if she had been staying in the cage for the past two months.
“Is this necessary?” Hao Ren looked up and down at Lily. “Rollie and Y’lisabet have told me that you have had fun every day. Are you not happy with it?”
Lily said with her arms akimbo, “Hunting, fishing, plucking bird nest and all those stuff are not as interesting as fighting the monsters in the universe! Do not forget that I am Mr. Landlord’s Number 1 guardian. I am losing my sense of existence after being absent from the actions for so long.”
Hao Ren was like what the heck?
Did the maiden just make herself a self-appointed guardian of him?
“We have read the news from the battlefront,” Y’zaks said after the initial excitement of everyone subsided. He was the most principled one among them. “I cannot believe that you two have found the ‘control system’ that the goddess of creation has left for the future and solved the mystery of the divine oscillating network. The truth of this galaxy really knocks my socks off.”
“Uncle Ren, you might not see my papa’s expression at the time,” said the little girl, Y’lisabet, who danced around Hao Ren. “He said that he had never thought that a person could come up with such an elaborate plan just to kill herself!”
“It is a god, by the way.” Y’zaks corrected his daughter. “And I was not shocked over the goddess killing herself, about which I had known when I learned about the truth of the deicidal war. What amazes me is the incredible Weaves of Destiny; it is fascinating to see the mystery of how the universe works.”
“Mystery my foot. The super admin of the universe is standing right here.” Lily pointed at Vivian. “After all the hoo-ha, it turns out that ‘poverty’ is the fundamental law of the universe of the Plane of Dreams! No wonder the life of the races in the world is hard— Ouch!”
Vivian smashed Lily with a Lightning Ball, instantly turning her into a Chow Chow. “I still cannot believe what has happened even until now. But I also cannot deny what has happened. We must now find a way to get our hands on the Amantir crystal. It does not matter whether I would sit on the throne in the future, we must get the crystal because it is related to the secret of the final resting place of the goddess of creation. Hao Ren and I need helps from you all.”
Y’zaks, Y’lisabet, Nangong Wuyue, Nangong Sanba, and Lily, who was scrambling to smooth down her hair and tail, fell into silence and looked at each other with a smile.
“That’s more like it!” Y’zaks rubbed his fists, raring to go. “We are not here for vacation.”
Even Nangong Wuyue, who was always scared stiff when there was a situation, nodded eagerly. Meanwhile, Rollie who listened on started to scratch her head. “Big Boss Cat, are they dried fish in that place called Amantir?”
Rollie had no clue about what everyone was discussing. The cat acknowledged her intellectual limits and chose another way to understand the purpose of this trip.
Hao Ren glanced at her and said, “There is no dried fish there. But if you behave well, I will buy you ten pounds of dried fish.”
