Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1787 Divination (Two-part extended chapter)

Xia Chujian said with a stern face, "I know that each of you has your own responsibilities."

"But you also need to use your brain when fighting a war!"

"The Zerg suddenly attacked from within, didn't you ever think about why?"

"Furthermore, isn't there a better, more effective way to eliminate these Zerg? Are we really going to rely on sheer numbers of lives?"

Fang Chengliang suddenly said, "General Xia, there is indeed a better way..."

As he spoke, he recounted what he had just seen: the humanoid boy Qingcheng and the blue fox shadow.

Xia Chujian was very interested after hearing this: "Azure fox shadow? Humanoid boy Qingcheng? Look carefully, he really has biological pheromones that can work on the insectoids?"

Fang Chengliang nodded: "It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes, and Qingcheng told me about it himself."

"Unfortunately, he has now been rescued by a blue fox shadow..."

Xia Chujian nodded: "It's alright. Go and issue me an order to find the humanoid boy Qingcheng."

……

At the same moment, in the living room of She Zhuyin's manor villa, north of Mulan City.

Hu Shantu stared blankly at the humanoid boy Qingcheng lying on the floor in front of him, his expression complicated.

The white fox tails behind Qingcheng have increased from three to four, and one more is slowly growing, soon making it five.

The huge blue fox shadow behind Hu Shantu slowly dissipated.

After a while, Qingcheng finally woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering like small fans, casting a deep shadow beneath his eyelids.

Under the lamplight, his face possessed a youthful allure, yet also a pitiful fragility.

She looked like a broken porcelain doll.

He looked around at the furnishings, a look of surprise on his face, and struggled to sit up from the ground.

Then, he saw the man sitting on the sofa opposite him.

The man was actually quite ordinary in appearance and height.

The clothes he was wearing looked casual, but the fabric and cut clearly indicated they were quite expensive.

Although Qingcheng couldn't discern the value of Hu Shantu's clothes, he could sense that this man was no ordinary person.

Moreover, this person gave him a feeling of inexplicable familiarity.

It seemed like they were old acquaintances, but he was also quite certain that he had never met him before.

Seeing that the child was awake, Hu Shantu said calmly, "Are you a humanoid?"

Qingcheng's heart sank. She stood up in a flustered manner, stammering, "...I'm...I'm sorry...I've dirtied your floor..."

"I...I...I'll wipe it for you!"

As he spoke, Qingcheng, who was still very weak, knelt down and used his sleeve to wipe the floor.

Hu Shantu sighed and said, "No need, sit down and talk."

Qingcheng immediately plopped down on the floor and looked up at Hu Shantu.

His pair of dark, fox-like eyes lacked the alluring charm typical of foxes; instead, they were remarkably innocent and pure.

Hu Shantu sighed again and patted the seat next to him: "Come on, sit here."

Qingcheng glanced at the sofa next to Hu Shantu, then at herself, lowered her head, and said embarrassedly, "...I...I'm dirty, I've dirtied your sofa..."

The quality and style of that sofa look very expensive!
He had previously browsed these valuable pieces of furniture on StarNet.

Hu Shantu frowned and said, "I told you to sit down, so sit down. Why all the nonsense?!"

His voice rose slightly, sounding somewhat serious.

Qingcheng quickly stood up and obediently sat down next to Hu Shantu.

He sat upright, his hands neatly placed on his knees, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Hu Shantu asked again, "Are you a humanoid?"

Qingcheng nodded: "Yes, sir, I am a humanoid slave. I was born with a tail that I can't retract."

As he spoke, the white fox tail behind him swayed gently.

Hu Shantu glanced at it and said, "You have the blood of the Qingqiu Fox Clan?"

Qingcheng looked up blankly at him and asked, "...Qingqiu Fox Clan? What's that?"

Hu Shantu proudly said, "The Qingqiu Fox Clan is the king of the fox clan."

"You are most likely a descendant of the Fox Clan King. At the very least, you possess the bloodline of the Fox Clan King, albeit a rare one."

Qingcheng's eyes widened: "The fox clan... has a royal family?!"

"But I'm a human! Not a fox! Even though I have a tail..."

Hu Shantu nodded: "Yes, I am a direct descendant of the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

“You should be too. You are human, but you also have the blood of our Qingqiu fox clan.”

"Although your fox bloodline is rare, you are constantly growing and evolving."

"Once you grow nine tails, you will be able to transform into a true member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

Where are your parents and family?

Qingcheng fell silent.

After a long pause, he said, "...They are all dead."

"Died in battle against the Zerg."

Hu Shantu had guessed it, and now it has simply been confirmed.

He said, "I came to Mulan City to visit a friend, and I sensed the same bloodline, so I rushed over."

Qingcheng burst into tears: "If only you had arrived sooner!"

“My grandfather didn’t have many biopheromones, and he only managed to withstand one attack.”

Hu Shantu was stunned: "...Your grandfather's biopheromones can withstand the Zerg attack?!"

That's his specialty!

Qingcheng nodded: "Yes, but not many, so it only affects a small area, causing the Zerg to lose their minds and kill each other."

Hu Shantu frowned: "Then your grandfather, was he a nine-tailed fox?"

Qingcheng thought for a moment: "Grandfather should have nine tails, but he lost two tails, so everyone thought he had seven tails."

"My grandmother once let slip that my grandfather had nine tails..."

Hu Shantu slapped his thigh: "Oh dear! I'm really late!"

"Nine-tailed foxes? That already belongs to our Qingqiu fox clan!"

"How dare those vile insects harm our noble Qingqiu Fox Clan!"

Qingcheng's face was ashen: "...Master, we are merely humanoid slaves, the lowest rung of the empire, never the noble Qingqiu fox clan..."

Hu Shantu was speechless for a moment and remained silent.

After a while, he bit his index finger, held it out to Qingcheng, and said, "Suck it dry, and you will quickly grow nine tails and become a true member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

Qingcheng waved her hands in terror: "No, no! I can't drink human blood!"

Hu Shantu said unhappily, "By sucking my blood, you can grow nine tails, become a member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and evolve many special abilities that can protect yourself and others."

"Don't you want revenge?"

"Don't you want to secrete the same biological pheromones that can cause the Zerg to kill each other, just like your grandfather?"

"Besides, I'm not human, and you're not sucking human blood."

Qingcheng was stunned.

He wanted it, he really wanted it!

A pair of hands stopped in front of him, no longer moving.

Hu Shantu saw his hand.

Such a beautiful young man, yet his hands are exceptionally rough, as if he has been doing heavy work for many years, leaving behind not only calluses but also many wounds and scars of all sizes.

Look at his face, he's young.

Look at his hands; he's at his wit's end.

Hu Shantu felt even more upset.

He simply grabbed Qingcheng's neck with one hand and shoved his own bleeding index finger into Qingcheng's mouth with the other, saying, "Suck!" Qingcheng was uncomfortable from being choked, so he had no choice but to suck hard.

Before long, the blood at the wound on Hu Shantu's index finger clotted, and no more blood came out when he tried to suck it out.

As Qingcheng swallowed the last mouthful of blood, his face was flushed and his body temperature rose sharply.

Hu Shantu knew that Qingcheng had begun to evolve.

Hu Shantu's bloodline is that of a direct descendant of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Later, with the help of She Zhuyin, it was purified several more times.

The ancestral blood in his body is now almost identical to that of the fox clan ancestor of Qingqiu.

Using his blood to transform Qingcheng would surely have extraordinary effects.

Seeing that Qingcheng was undergoing rapid evolution, Hu Shantu breathed a sigh of relief.

He rubbed his stiff neck, stood up from the sofa, walked to the French windows, and casually opened the virtual display screen to check the latest news headlines on the StarNet.

As a result, he saw the news on the Guiyuan Star local network that the Guiyuan Star military was looking for humanoid Qingcheng!

Hu Shantu: "!!!"

What are they trying to do?!

He thought to himself, then sent a private message to that account, requesting to contact Lieutenant General Xia Chujian, and left his contact information.

When Xia Chujian saw this message, she felt a little confused, so she asked Qi Lu to search for the person's online location.

It turned out that the person was at She Zhuyin's manor.

Xia Chujian: "..."

So they're acquaintances?

……

After thinking about it, Xia Chujian decided to contact Huo Yushen first.

At this time, Huo Yushen was in charge of overall planning at the highest military command headquarters in the southern district.

Xia Chujian had already personally led her men to the battlefield, and he was supporting her from the rear.

Upon receiving Xia Chujian's video call invitation, he immediately accepted.

Xia Chujian's avatar appeared on the virtual screen in front of him.

She said, "Huo Yushen, there's something I need to trouble you with."

As she spoke, she recounted what had just happened, emphasizing at the end, "That blue fox shadow and the humanoid youth were both very powerful."

"I think they might be a big help."

Upon hearing Xia Chujian's description, Huo Yushen knew who it was.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I roughly know who this blue fox shadow is. But if it really is him, he won't be as helpful to us as you imagine."

Xia Chujian was a little surprised: "You actually know?! Who?!"

Huo Yushen said, "You also know... Hu Shantu."

Xia Chujian suddenly realized: "It's him?! No wonder! That blue fox shadow..."

Huo Yushen said, "His ancestors were extraordinary, so it must be his special ability."

Xia Chujian nodded: "Then why wouldn't he be of much help?"

Huo Yushen said, "...His special ability advantage does not lie in this."

"Based on what you just said, I speculate that it is a biological pheromone unique to their race that can confuse the Zerg."

"But he can produce very little biopheromones, and he can't speed it up."

"All the accumulation over the years has probably been used up today."

Xia Chujian played with her small dagger and asked curiously, "Does he have any other members of his tribe?"

Huo Yushen shook his head: "...He is the only one in this clan."

Xia Chujian said regretfully, "Alright then, you should still make a trip for me and see what he's doing taking that humanoid boy, Qingcheng, away."

"If there's no ill intent, then let it go. I'm very busy, just give me an explanation."

Huo Yushen said, "No problem, I'll go right away."

As he spoke, he commanded his Grand Commander's Radiant Golden Mech to fly north of Mulan City.

……

When Huo Yushen returned to his manor north of Mulan City, he indeed saw Hu Shantu sitting on the sofa in his living room.

Lying on the ground in front of them was a very handsome young man.

Six white fox tails snaked out from beneath him.

Huo Yushen took a deep breath: "Uncle Hu, what's going on?"

Hu Shantu's face was a little pale. He twirled his index finger, which had just been sucked of blood by Qingcheng, and said lazily, "It's nothing. I just saved a descendant of my clan."

“His bloodline has become thin and diluted.”

“I gave him my blood, and when he grows to nine tails, he will become one of my people.”

Huo Yushen raised an eyebrow: "That's it? But why did you suddenly come?"

Hu Shantu rubbed his temples, looking exhausted, and said, "...I suddenly had a whim at home and decided to have my fortune told."

"The divination indicates..."

He looked at Huo Yushen, his expression gradually turning serious: "...You have a very bad omen."

Huo Yushen didn't believe it at all, and said with a faint smile, "Uncle Hu, how accurate are you this time?"

Hu Shantu said awkwardly, "Well, it works sometimes and it doesn't, there's nothing I can do about it."

"However, I hope you would rather believe it exists than not."

"It's better to be careful."

Huo Yushen remained noncommittal: "Alright, I understand."

"I'll go back and report."

Hu Shantu then realized what was going on and said, "Didn't I send a message to Lieutenant General Xia? You came back because of things there?"

Huo Yushen nodded: "Yes, Lieutenant General Xia is now my superior."

Hu Shantu's eyes widened: "...But you're a marshal?!"

"She's only a lieutenant general!"

"How did she become your boss?!"

Huo Yushen said, "Military rank and military position are not the same thing."

"Alright, I'm busy over there, I'll be going now."

Huo Yushen turned and left.

Not long after he left, Hu Shantu received a video call invitation from Xia Chujian.

He and Xia Chujian were not friends.

This video call invitation was sent by Xia Chujian using the quantum optical computer account that Hu Shantu used to send the message.

Hu Shantu quickly answered the call and said, "Hello, Lieutenant General Xia!"

"I've already told Yu Shen everything. Is there anything else?"

Xia Chujian had of course not spoken to Huo Yushen yet.

She wanted to see for herself the condition of the humanoid boy, Qingcheng.

She said, "Oh, it's you... We're acquaintances, so it's easy to handle."

"Why did you take Qingcheng away? Can I check on his condition?"

Hu Shantu said, "No problem."

He turned the camera towards Qingcheng, the humanoid boy lying on the ground.

Xia Chujian spotted the six enormous white fox tails and exclaimed in shock, "...Six tails?!"

Hu Shantu said smugly, "Right?! He'll soon become a nine-tailed fox!"

"At that time, he will be a true member of our Qingqiu clan!"

"He's the second one besides me!"

　There will be a new update at 12:05 AM!
