Chapter 1434 Things Backfired
"But that place..." The crew member's words were also transmitted to the Noah through the equipment.

“I know,” Lin Fan sighed softly, “but if the Emperor is determined to go, he will have to go sooner or later, and there’s no stopping him. There’s no better time than now, at least Anton and I can protect ourselves.”

Let alone protecting themselves, the two mechs, along with a Devouring Beast, could easily find a way to fly back from Annie Demon Star.

Although Cen Fangyuan knew this, he still couldn't help but worry.

"What about Lan Bingru?" he asked.

She's a delicate girl who's only just begun practicing Qi cultivation. If she also wears a collar, she'll just be an ordinary person at the mercy of others.

“If we can’t return, I’ll see if there’s any way to send him back first. If all else fails…” Lin Fan said with a smile, “Qiansui is with her, so she shouldn’t abandon her. Besides, we’re here. We’ll definitely do our best to protect her.”

Cen Fangyuan knew that some things were beyond people's control, so he could only sigh and say, "You should also be careful and pay attention to your own safety. It sounds like that place is even worse than the Yuehua people described."

"Understood." Lin Fan had already seen Antonio rush into a room. "I will retrieve the personal terminal as soon as possible. If we suddenly lose contact, don't worry. Their goal is to sell us. We are valuable goods, so theoretically, we are not in any danger."

"..." Cen Fangyuan wanted to say, "Besides the danger to one's life, there are many other dangers..."

However, considering Lin Fan and his companion's strength, there's not much to say.

"Understood. I will guard the Noah and wait for your good news at the Nexus."

After hanging up, he was still uneasy. Looking at the merchant ships that had already left port and turned around on the big screen, Cen Fangyuan ran to find Jin Sichen.

"Looking for Senior Brother?" Jin Sichen was unaware that Lin Fan and the others were already on someone else's ship, having left Xingzhu.

“I don’t think Senior Brother will go.” He frowned after hearing Cen Fangyuan’s brief description, but still took Cen Fangyuan with him to Xiaoyao Mountain.

Sure enough, after Yue Zhengyuanqing learned that Qian Sui was the culprit and that he was with Lin Fan and the others, he simply disappeared.

"...Did Senior Brother go to help?" Cen Fangyuan asked hesitantly after searching in the sky for a long time.

"You're overthinking it." Jin Sichen waved his hand and led the way downstairs. "He didn't want to get involved. He ran away."

“…” Cen Fangyuan, who had always thought Yue Zhengyuan was reliable, suddenly felt that this person was unreliable.

"Don't worry too much," Jin Sichen turned to comfort Cen Fangyuan, who looked distressed. "Qian Sui is no weaker than Senior Brother, and Lin Fan and An Dong, those two mecha pilots, are no pushovers. I've looked into the interstellar military situation. They still hold the top spot."

“I know, I know,” Cen Fangyuan sighed again. “I’ve always believed in them, but… to use an imperfect analogy, it’s like a mother worrying about her child traveling a thousand miles. If they really go to Annie Demon Star… this is the first time I’ve been this far away from Lin Jian and the others…”

Jin Sichen remained silent.

After leaving Lanxing, Lin Fan and his group often went to other planets on their own, and the Noah even stayed on Perlun for almost a year.

But they were still hovering outside their planet. Lin Fan and his group could fly back anytime they wanted.

This time it was truly different; they had gone to the planet Anne Demon, a place they couldn't even touch or see...

"Let's go!" Jin Sichen turned back to wait for Cen Fangyuan. "We definitely can't help anymore. Let's go check on the news about Annie Demon Star, its location, and see if we can speed up the credit point accumulation process."

“Right!” Cen Fangyuan immediately perked up at this point. “Lin Jian was also worried about affecting the upgrade. The sooner we achieve this, the sooner we can go to the outside of Annie Demon Star to wait for them.”

With that, he jogged down the mountain, leaving Jin Sichen far behind.

Jin Sichen put her hands in her pockets and looked at the blue sky of Xiaoyao Mountain through her sunglasses.

A planet ruled by orcs who enslave humans. Lin Fan has no idea what she's going to face. Best of luck to her.

Oh, no, wait. I wish good luck to whoever she faces.

Yeah, I've already started missing her.

Let's see what other competitions we can participate in...

In the ship's control room, Antonio stood with his hands on his hips, glaring angrily at Bonnie, who stood in front of the control panel. Lin Fan entered and saw the black kitten crouching on the control panel, its back to the door. Lan Bingru was also standing in front of the control panel, but the distance between her and Qian Sui was actually less than the distance between Bonnie and the kitten.

Seeing Lin Fan enter, she ran over with a sigh of relief: "Lin Jian!"

Lin Fan turned around and saw several people in ship crew uniforms huddled in the corner near the door, covering their heads.

The guy who led them there earlier was also squatting down with them, trying to squeeze in...

“It’s alright,” she said, placing her hand on Lan Bingru’s shoulder. “We’re here.”

Lan Bingru's eyes welled up with tears, on the verge of crying: "Your Majesty, it..."

"I know." Lin Fan put his index finger to his lips. "Leave it to me, do you trust me?"

"Hmm." Lan Bingru sniffed hard. "I believe you."

Lin Fan turned around and asked the crew members in the corner if they had any lifeboats or similar equipment. Antonio finally couldn't help but start criticizing.

"Bonnie! What do you mean?"

"What?" Bonnie looked completely innocent. "What are you doing here?"

"Stop pretending!" Antonio turned around, found the man he had just hit, and pointed at him. "He said it himself, you ordered us to be kidnapped and sold to Annema!"

The crew members who had just hidden themselves in the crowd quickly covered their faces.

What's wrong with this guy? Does he even want any other person to live? That bunny girl will probably sell him again later.

Bonnie was speechless.

She did instruct these men to kidnap Antonio. But that was before.

But after witnessing Qian Sui's power, how could she care about anyone else?
The bloodline of a high-level Burning Beast that was lost abroad! In the upper levels of the Annie Demon realm, where top-level beasts have already withered, the benefits of sending back a powerful Burning Beast far outweigh the benefits of her painstakingly selling a thousand or ten thousand human slaves.

It's true! She had completely forgotten about Antonio and the other Noah crew members. There were even several moments when she wanted to call Antonio to thank him properly—if he had taken the bait earlier and she had run away with everyone sooner, how could she have had the chance to encounter the Burning Beast?

I genuinely want to thank him, but I don't want to confront him directly under these circumstances...

"I just want the truth from you." Seeing her like this, Antonio had almost given up. "Was your purpose in contacting me from the beginning just to trick me into going to Annie Demon Star and selling me?"

Bonnie wanted to explain, but seeing the disappointment in Antonio's eyes, she decided it was pointless and just admitted it.

"Yes." Her innocent expression vanished instantly, replaced by a cunning one. She rested her hands on the control panel behind her, sitting as if in a daze. "I did intend to trick you into going to Annie Demon Star, but my desire to be your friend is genuine. The sellers I chose for you are all top-notch; they definitely won't treat you unfairly..."

"Pah!" Antonio interrupted sharply. "I don't have a friend like you!"

Bonnie's expression froze for a moment, then she immediately smiled and said, "But I didn't fool you, did I? I even personally took you back. You're not here because of me."

"How can it not be because of you?!" Antonio scooped up the black cat, who was washing its face with its head down. "If you won't take it, we will! Don't tell me you don't recognize the badge on its neck. Do I need to spell out what you're up to?"

He placed the thousand-year-old on his chest, the two identical gem badges standing out prominently.

"Then I can't go back?" Lan Bingru suddenly exclaimed.

Antonio then noticed that Lin Fan and Lan Bingru were standing in front of the group of crew members talking to each other.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Lin Fan turned around and said, "Their escape pods are all ejection devices, and because they haven't been used for a long time, they haven't been inspected or maintained, so their safety cannot be guaranteed. Going this way is too risky; it's better to just return to base."

Before Antonio could even voice his opinion, the little black cat on his chest suddenly spoke up.

"No!"
