Free Web NovelChapter 208: Chapter 187: Stranded on Chaos Star
The bedroom door was thrown open with a SLAM.
The bright light from the corridor spilled in, striking Yu Lan’s fair little face.
The pretty little female was clearly still lost in a sleepy haze.
Her features were listless, her eyes朦胧, and she wore a panicked expression from being so abruptly torn from her dreams.
She looked utterly pitiful.
Qi Jingshen, who had been feeling irritable from Huo Zhanting’s relentless pursuit, found his mood instantly soothed.
This was his bedroom.
The pretty little female was lying on the bed he slept in every day.
His quilt was draped lightly over her body.
Even the air had begun to fill with the sweet fragrance emanating from the little female.
Now, thinking of Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye chasing him like mad dogs, Qi Jingshen felt a strange, dark glee flash through his heart.
’So what if they keep chasing me?’
’In the end, Yu Lan is still in my hands.’
The wickedly handsome man strode forward and stood before Yu Lan, looking down at her from his superior height.
His tone was unreadable.
"Huo Zhanting and the others are about to find us. What do you think? Are you happy?"
As Qi Jingshen spoke, his gaze remained locked on Yu Lan’s face, observing her every move.
Yu Lan’s first reaction was, naturally, happiness.
She had a profound understanding of her men’s capabilities.
But right now, Qi Jingshen was acting like a complete lunatic.
’Would he really be so kind as to share good news with me?’
Yu Lan didn’t think so.
A trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes.
"So smart!"
Qi Jingshen praised her.
Then his tone shifted. "Unfortunately, I’ve already figured out a solution."
The Second Legion had too many people, making them too big of a target. That’s why the First Legion could chase them down so easily, making it difficult to escape.
But what if...
They scattered?
Qi Jingshen’s gaze shifted to the Starship’s window.
The vast, mysterious universe perpetually shone with a dazzling and captivating brilliance.
And their destination was none other than the largest and most chaotic region in the entire cosmos: the Chaotic Star System.
「Meanwhile」
First Legion
When the reconnaissance ship discovered the Second Legion’s intentions, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed instantly.
"Marshal, Marshal Qi and his forces are heading for the Chaotic Star System at full speed."
"This is bad!"
"What are their fleets doing!?"
The once orderly formation of the Second Legion’s fleet had suddenly broken apart, with squadrons branching off and heading toward the vast, sprawling Chaotic Star System.
"Th-this is..."
The faces of the pursuing First Legion members turned completely grim.
How were they supposed to give chase now?
They were scattered like a pile of loose sand. It was likely that even the Second Legion’s own people didn’t know where their comrades had gone.
Qi Jingshen was a product of the orthodox Second Legion, yet he had resorted to such rogue tactics.
"Marshal, what do we..."
There were thousands of large warships, not to mention the various smaller support Starships.
Qi Jingshen had stripped every single tracking device from Yu Lan’s body, leaving the technical team completely unable to pinpoint her location.
They were hesitant to act for fear of harming the one they were trying to save.
They didn’t dare fire directly on the Second Legion.
What if, by some terrible luck, a shot hit the Starship Yu Lan was on?
Damn it!
Huo Zhanting stared dead ahead at the Second Legion’s position, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.
His heart felt as if it were being fried in boiling oil.
The agony was unbearable.
’Lanlan, where are you right now?!’
"Order the fleet to pursue at full power. Intercept a few of their warships, no matter the cost."
"Find a way to contact Qi Jingshen through their internal Communication Device. I need to talk to him."
When Qi Jingshen had first defected with the Second Legion, he had managed to swindle a good amount of supplies from Belina by pretending to marry Louisa.
But for someone trying to establish a complete and independent power...
Those resources were far from enough.
’He just wants something, doesn’t he? We can give it to him.’
Huo Zhanting’s eyes were already bloodshot.
Standing beside him, Su Xingye and Li Yucheng looked no less intense.
Only Shen Zueran was nowhere to be seen, having gone off to investigate something.

「At that moment」
Inside the Second Legion Starship
After speaking, Qi Jingshen watched Yu Lan with a fixed gaze.
He was expecting to see a look of disappointment on the pretty little female’s face.
Unfortunately for him, Yu Lan’s expression remained perfectly calm from beginning to end.
Since Qi Jingshen was capable of abducting her directly, it was obvious this wasn’t a sudden whim.
He had naturally planned countermeasures against Huo Zhanting and the others long ago.
Still, a sliver of curiosity inevitably grew in Yu Lan’s heart.
How exactly would Qi Jingshen manage to successfully evade the First Legion’s ferocious pursuit?
After all, that was an army of tigers and wolves that didn’t even flinch when facing the forces of the Dark Planet.
"You’ll know soon enough."
Qi Jingshen took a step forward. The wickedly unrestrained man extended his index finger.
He tapped Yu Lan on the side of her neck and on her supple waist.
’What is he doing?’
Yu Lan raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Then, very quickly, she raised a hand to her neck and looked at Qi Jingshen in disbelief.
The wickedly handsome man arched an eyebrow and shook his head at Yu Lan.
"This is an exclusive secret technique. Not for outsiders."
At that moment...
’Qi Jingshen actually knows how to use acupoint strikes.’
This was a skill long lost in the interstellar era, a technique that only old traditional Chinese medicine doctors on Ancient Earth would have known.
And now, it was being displayed right before Yu Lan’s eyes.
The pretty female’s eyes widened slightly as she stared at Qi Jingshen in disbelief.
A tingly, numb sensation spread from her neck and her soft waist.
By the time Yu Lan came to her senses, she found she could no longer speak, nor could she move her legs.
’The methods of traditional Chinese medicine...’
’They really live up to their reputation.’
Just then...
The Starship she was on began to slowly descend through the clouds of the Chaotic Star System, landing on the reddish earth with a loud THUD.
A guard pushed a wheelchair in from outside and placed it in front of them.
Under Yu Lan’s incredulous gaze, the wickedly handsome man curled his lips into a smile, then suddenly bent down, scooped her up horizontally, and placed her in the wheelchair.
Then he covered her with a soft, fluffy white blanket.
He had crafted the perfect image of someone with a congenital illness.
"Female Master, welcome to the Chaotic Star System."
’Madman.’
’He’s a complete and utter madman.’
Yu Lan was screaming wildly in her mind.
But unfortunately, Qi Jingshen had struck her mute acupoint.
Even with her sharp tongue, she couldn’t utter a single word.
Her legs wouldn’t move either, leaving her to sit resentfully in the wheelchair.
Only her small hands, gripping the armrests, betrayed her fury. Her fingertips were white from the force of her grip.
One could only imagine that if the armrests were replaced with Qi Jingshen’s neck, Yu Lan would have already squeezed hard enough to suffocate him.
In the Chaotic Star System.
Qi Jingshen and Yu Lan’s new identities were that of a loving couple who had fled their home.
A male, passionately in love with his Female Master, who wasn’t the least bit concerned that his partner’s disabled legs would be a burden, but instead protected his Female Master with all his might.
