Chapter 98 97
98: 97 98: 97 The Minister of Planetary Resources was instantly silenced, tensing up completely under the threat of the giant eagle, his eyes filled with fear.
Gu Gui spoke in a deep voice, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, “Did you give it to him, the aphrodisiac?” To confirm if someone is an omega, besides a thorough physical examination, the only way is to see if there is any effect after using the aphrodisiac.
Given Lu Chiqiu’s level of strength, these people undoubtedly couldn’t perform any physical examination on him.
He had been wondering why his lover would touch alcohol, but only after hearing the Minister of Planetary Resources speak so confidently about his identity did he realize that for non-omegas, the effect of the aphrodisiac was similar to fake alcohol.
If Lu Chiqiu was really an omega… The claws of the spiritual giant eagle instantly tightened, tightly gripping the Minister of Planetary Resources’ shoulder and neck.
It didn’t matter what his lover was to him, but if Lu Chiqiu were truly an omega, he would now lose control under the influence of the aphrodisiac, tormented by instincts, and even being treated as… Gu Gui closed his eyes, his spiritual power surged uncontrollably, and many awakened henchmen were shaken to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses and falling back into unconsciousness under the strong pressure of his spiritual power.
The Minister of Planetary Resources, no matter the circumstances, couldn’t understand that there would be such a development.
He had long been scared and speechless.
He desperately tried to crawl back into the bloodthirsty vine, but the beak of the giant eagle was already swooping down with a strong gust of wind.
“No… it’s not possible!
Marshal Gu… if you kill me, you’ll go to jail too, Gu Gui!” Seeing the eagle’s eyes already turning blood red, the Minister of Planetary Resources desperately shouted.
His words were incoherent and unable to stop the sharp steel beak from descending.
Already feeling the chilling presence of spiritual power, almost substantial, the Minister of Planetary Resources closed his eyes in despair, but the expected pain did not immediately come.
The Minister of Planetary Resources shivered and hesitantly opened his eyes.
The terrifying vines that made them tremble rose in time and did not continue to restrain them but with gentle gestures wrapping around the almost frantic giant eagle.
The vine tips gently touched it, and the leaves obediently drooped down, gently rubbing against the eagle’s hard feathers.
Lu Chiqiu looked up, kissing Gu Gui’s eyes.
“I’m sorry…” Gu Gui gently trembled, opened his eyes, and watched him, tightening his arm with force.
Lu Chiqiu had already awakened from most of his drunkenness when he was called a liar.
The remaining effects were promptly adjusted by the system, temporarily suppressing the intoxication and allowing him to face the current situation soberly.
He couldn’t help Gu Gui confirm his alpha identity if he wasn’t an omega.
Lu Chiqiu lowered his head, his still slightly flushed cheek pressed against Gu Gui’s neck, silent for a moment before continuing, “It was my fault; I won’t do it again…” Although he was aware that he wouldn’t be affected by the aphrodisiac, he was worried about any other unexpected circumstances.
He had been cautious not to let anything enter his mouth.
But these people had managed to develop a gas aphrodisiac, and he was sprayed all over with a high-concentration aphrodisiac as soon as he entered the room.
By the time he reacted, the bloodthirsty vine had already gained high ground, and the villains in the room were crying and calling for help on the phone.
His power almost reached the peak in this world, to the point where he had relaxed his guard these days.
Gu Gui was right to be angry, and it was necessary for him to learn from this mistake and take it as a lesson.
But those villains were simply too weak.
If Gu Gui lost control and really hurt the Minister of Planetary Resources, he would undoubtedly be questioned and punished for it.
His lover was still safe in his arms, acknowledging his fault softly and affectionately and kissing his eyes.
The killing intent in Gu Gui’s eyes gradually eased, and the chilling aura around him softened.
He loosened his grip on the arm he held, and his hand gently traced the delicate eyebrows and eyes that had drooped down, kissing his forehead.
“You woke up so quickly.
Did you use your spiritual power?” It would take at least a night to sober up after drinking, let alone the fake alcohol.
Advertisements People with strong spiritual power had a way to suppress intoxication temporarily, but their bodies wouldn’t feel too good either.
Now was not the time to draw lessons and gain experience.
Lu Chiqiu needed to get a good night’s sleep before anything else.
Lu Chiqiu blinked, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
Gu Gui focused on him, pushing away any lingering thoughts.
His expression completely softened, and he gathered his soft hair in his palm, “It’s alright, go to sleep first.
It won’t be comfortable like this…” As he spoke in a gentle tone with his head lowered, the Minister of Planetary Resources suddenly let out a scream.
Gu Gui: … The manifestation of spiritual power would vividly reflect genuine emotions, and when the main body suppressed and released it forcefully, the feedback from spiritual power became particularly strong.
The more Gu Gui tried not to think, the more intense the eagle’s reaction became.
It had just kicked the Minister of Planetary Resources away with its claws, and now it was spanking the remorseful young vine that had obediently apologized, chattering and nagging without stopping.
Lu Chiqiu looked at it in astonishment, blinked his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked up at Gu Gui.
“No, I just thought for a moment.
I’ll stop thinking about it, really.” His guilty heart instantly flinched under the clear gaze of his beloved, and Gu Gui gave a dry cough, gently soothing the young vine’s bottom with spiritual power as a form of redemption.
The eagle’s wings didn’t really land on it, and it didn’t hurt spiritually or physically.
Instead, because of this exaggerated punishment, some unrelated profound implications emerged.
Lu Chiqiu buried his face in Gu Gui’s neck, his ears slightly flushed, and tightened his arms around his neck, rubbing it against his neck.
Just as he was about to speak, a sharp alarm suddenly resounded.
Gu Gui’s mind shook, and he tightened his arm while answering the emergency communication, “It’s me.
What’s wrong?” The contents of the emergency communication were completely sealed and couldn’t be shared with others.
Lu Chiqiu frowned slightly, about to ask the system to query, when the system’s emergency alert sounded in his mind, “Host, it’s the Norut beast horde.
It is currently only a small-scale group of mutant beasts, but a truly large-scale wave of beasts will invade Solin Star in two months, with estimated destructive power that could directly annihilate Solin Star!” It was indeed this matter.
Lu Chiqiu didn’t say anything, holding onto Gu Gui’s clothes tightly, meeting the struggling silent gaze of the Imperial Marshal.
In the original storyline, Gu Gui charged into the horde alone and was eventually torn apart by the raging wave of beasts in the final battle with the Norut beasts.
They were extremely powerful interstellar migratory beasts that didn’t have a fixed habitat.
They roamed through space until the breeding season, at which point they would directly invade a planet, eradicating all the indigenous species on it as a temporary “nest.” After the offspring hatched, they would continue their drifting through space.
Currently, they were facing a small group of scouting beasts.
As Norut beasts were relatively intelligent, they would not invade a planet with too much strength.
If they could make them suffer a few losses through direct confrontation, allowing their final battle to display even greater strength, they might just make them realize that it was too difficult and retreat.
“Chi Qiu…” Gu Gui gave a squeeze to his hand, lowered his gaze, and was about to speak but fell silent once again upon seeing the light in those eyes.
He promised before.
Lu Chiqiu didn’t speak.
Instead, he quietly looked up at him, holding his hand in return, exerting a bit of strength.
“…Okay.” Meeting his gaze, Gu Gui finally showed a faint smile, leaning down to give a gentle kiss on his lover’s slightly pursed lips.
A small group of Norut beasts invaded, triggering a Level A alarm on any planet in the universe.
The military quickly responded, deploying a fleet of mechas in formation.
Gu Gui connected the coordinates through the optical brain.
The fully repaired pure black mecha roared as it flew over the wasteland in no time.
“Your mecha isn’t ready yet.
Sit in mine, and next time, you can pilot it yourself.” Gu Gui tightened his grip on his arm, easily helping him climb aboard the mecha.
Their mental powers harmonized with the control system, and he spoke in a soft and affectionate voice, “Close your eyes and have a good sleep.
We’ll be done with this and go home.” The system’s intercepting effect on intoxication was better than using mental power.
Lu Chiqiu blinked in his embrace, obediently nodding.
Gu Gui placed him in the back seat, raising his hand to hold onto him, “Be careful.” “With you here, I dare not be careless.” Advertisements Gu Gui smiled and lightly kissed his forehead, bending down to fasten his seatbelt carefully before returning to the pilot’s seat.
With a rumble, the mecha soared and plunged into the vast universe, joining the massive flow of mechas.
Intense battles lasted throughout the night.
Norut beasts were known as “space pirates,” and even a small group of them posed a formidable threat.
Ordinary basic mechas couldn’t participate in the battle and could only attack from a distance.
Gu Gui’s mecha bore most of the pressure alone, while the Legion Leaders assistance and cooperation in other positions, doing their best to disperse the beast group.
Although they couldn’t achieve a decisive victory due to the hasty response, they still managed to hold their ground.
The situation gradually turned in their favor, albeit with great difficulty.
The high-intensity operations consumed mental power, and Lu Chiqiu rested for a while before returning to Gu Gui’s side, wanting to help take over the mecha for a while.
However, Gu Gui held his hand and gently placed him in the copilot’s seat.
The figure of the Imperial Marshal remained steady and resolute, meeting his little wife’s gaze.
Softness touched his determined brows, and during a lull in the battle, he leaned down and kissed his lips, saying, “The effects of the aphrodisiac will last at least three days… Be obedient.
I don’t want to receive a drunk driving ticket.” His reasoning was fully justified.
Lu Chiqiu opened his mouth to speak but obediently sat back, his gaze falling on the monitor’s display.
“Don’t worry, our situation is still good.” Gu Gui gave his hand a squeeze, soothingly assuring him in a warm voice.
He was about to give the order to launch the final assault when Lu Chiqiu’s expression suddenly tightened, and he raised his hand to the auxiliary control panel.
Unexpectedly, familiar mental powers suddenly collided without warning.
The mecha was struck and narrowly avoided an accelerated assault by a Norut beast.
Lu Chiqiu couldn’t help but emit a slight groan due to hastily connecting to the mecha, closing his eyes and furrowing his brows.
Gu Gui’s heart trembled lightly, and he embraced him with one hand, instantly taking over the mecha for defense and activating the external surveillance for inspection.
That direction was the mecha’s weakest abdomen side, also the area where Legion Leaders provided crucial support.
It shouldn’t have been breached by any alien creature.
He knew that several of his Legion Leaders had already been infiltrated by the opposing forces, aware of their positions and affiliations.
However, they were soldiers first and foremost.
Whatever internal power struggles or breaches of his identity’s secrecy they engaged in privately didn’t matter.
But no one should be sabotaging the defenses at a time like this, a time related to life and death.
But now, the Legion Leaders’ defense line had been torn apart.
Sensing a new opportunity, the Norut beasts immediately swarmed, increasing the pressure abruptly.
Gu Gui furrowed his brows while trying his best to maneuver the mecha for evasive maneuvers.
The Legion Leaders had to cooperate to form a defensive line.
An effective counterattack couldn’t be formed if even one person secretly slackened or caused trouble.
Right now, it relied heavily on the First Legion Leaders ‘s efforts to patch up the gaps, barely holding on for a while, but it was uncertain how much longer they could hold.
The most powerful pure black mecha quickly became the besieged target, with waves of beast attacks, their claws as sharp as radium ore, tearing through the mecha’s defense.
Several young and strong Norut beasts had even found the most critical spots and forcefully rammed into them.
The mecha shook violently, and the energy indicator suddenly lit up with a glaring red warning light.
Under the repeated impacts of the Norut beasts, the energy storage compartment finally became unstable and seemed about to detach and fall off.
Gu Gui’s heart sank, activating the emergency communication and pushing his lover out while lowering his voice quickly, “Take over the First Legion Leader’s mecha, then come help me.
Use the escape pod.
Your piloting skills are better than his…” Meeting those clear, watery eyes, Gu Gui’s heart thumped, and he clenched his teeth, “Listen to me.” With the energy compartment partially detached, other mechas couldn’t get close.
In order to avoid an explosion, they would even be forcibly kept away by the mecha’s self-protection system.
Of course, he wanted to survive together with his lover and return home together, but when it came to a life-or-death gamble, he still couldn’t make Lu Chiqiu risk his life alongside him.
His lover’s ability to operate mecha was known by a limited number of people, and they shouldn’t have known… Facing his gaze, Lu Chiqiu blinked his eyes and swiftly got up, running towards the escape hatch at the rear.
Gu Gui breathed a sigh of relief, opening the escape capsule for him.
As he turned back, Lu Chiqiu had already pulled down his protective suit with one hand, leaped out of the mecha cabin, and plunged straight into the escape pod.
