Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Qiong herself is a creation, so she can understand the feelings of the cat cakes. At this moment, she has no intention of bullying them. She simply picks them up, puts two on her shoulders, one on her head, and holds two more in her arms.

“I will take you to find Nguyen Mai.”

Qiong led the cat-shaped pastries away from the dimly lit laboratory and continued deeper into the compartment. He knew that the trouble Ruan Mei had mentioned was still deep inside, and these cats had nothing to do with the word "trouble."

"Fireflies, they are life created by Nguyen Mai."

As Qiong walked forward, he told Liuying that the effect of the antidote seemed to only work on Ruan Mei. He could still speak his mind to others, so the idea that Qiong was drugged was simply nonsense.

Liu Ying understood what Ruan Mei was doing on the space station, and her expression became serious, because she was also a creation, no different from these cat-shaped pastries, except that her emotions were richer.

“I hate that woman. What does she think life is? If you don’t like it in the first place, don’t give it the ability to think and feel.”

Liu Ying said with great dissatisfaction. She thought of her own experience. At first, she had no feelings and only fought as a weapon. It is undeniable that this kind of setting makes people feel relaxed. Without feelings, there will be no pain. But these pastries all like Ruan Mei. This feeling of being abandoned makes Liu Ying very uncomfortable.

"Geniuses will always research strange and unusual things, and there's nothing we can do to stop them."

Qiong was quite open-minded about it. This kind of thing happens every day in the Milky Way, and there's nothing to criticize. Ruan Mei's methods were already considered mild.

Liu Ying was sulking and didn't want to talk, but the next moment her eyes sharpened like a drawn sword. A jade-green sword appeared in her right hand. She then sprinted forward a few steps and slashed diagonally at the air in front of her. With a "whoosh," a pale blue liquid sprayed out of the dim environment, and a beetle-like insect fell out of its stealth state. After landing, it twitched a few times and then lay still.

"A-Qiong, retreat quickly!"

Liu Ying remained vigilant, instead carrying Qiong and running backward. The insect's corpse turned from black to orange before exploding. The explosion was within the corridor's tolerance range and did not cause significant damage.

"What is that? An insect?"

Qiong asked in astonishment. He knew there might be danger here, but he never expected there to be such strange insects. Shouldn't Ruan Mei's creations be sweet and fragrant?

“Those are true stinging insects, the eternal enemy of the Grammer Legion. We were born to destroy them.”

Liu Ying's face was extremely pale. Qiong had never seen her look like this before. Her expression was filled with murderous intent, clearly indicating that she had been provoked.

"Breeding insects? But didn't the insect swarm completely perish after the fall of the Breeding Star God?"

Qiong still didn't understand where these insects came from, and what's more, they were so important. Judging from Liuying's reaction, she must not have encountered a real insect in a long time, otherwise she wouldn't be so excited.

Chapter 170 Professional Matching

"I don't know, do you think it's possible that that wicked woman is trying to create life related to the true stinging insect?"

Liu Ying shook her head and said that the only suspect right now is Ruan Mei, because there is no reason for Black Tower to do such a thing in her own home. She is just a hands-off manager and not a psychopath.

"this..."

Qiong was unable to refute this point, because Ruan Mei had indeed said there was danger, and that if he couldn't handle it, he could ask her for help. Now he understood where the danger came from.

“If she really wants to bring back the insect plague, I’ll risk my life to kill her, and Eriol can’t stop me.”

Liu Ying's tone was so cold that it made Qiong tremble. This was the first time she had shown murderous intent towards something. Even when facing Zhou Ri, she had not thought of killing him. But anything related to insects had to die. Although she was no longer a weapon, her past memories told her that if she did nothing, countless people would experience the nightmare she had experienced. Having been drenched in the rain, she wanted to hold up a protective umbrella for others.

"Sigh, let's see."

Qiong sighed and said that he didn't think Ruan Mei was that confused. If she really was a mad scientist, there was nothing Qiong could do to clear her name.

Liu Ying led Qiong forward. Her sensitivity to insects far exceeded that of ordinary people, so she could identify where they hid after they became invisible. Qiong scratched his head, feeling that his choice to bring Liu Ying here was really professional. He originally just wanted to go on a date with her, but who would have thought that he would run into his nemesis here.

After killing several more waves of insects, Liu Ying and Qiong arrived behind an elevator. As Qiong activated the elevator's control button, it began to descend with the two of them to a deeper section.

"It should be just ahead. Ruan Mei mentioned petri dishes and such before, so there's probably something big there."

Qiong said to Liuying, who knew the habits of insects better than anyone else. The ones they had just killed were just guards; the thing they were protecting was the most important.

The elevator platform emitted a loud vibration, indicating that it had descended to the ground. Qiong and Liuying walked to that place and saw the petri dish that Ruan Mei had mentioned, but its size was unexpected. If they were not mistaken, the things cultivated in this petri dish were at least twenty or thirty meters long.

What's even more chilling is that the petri dish had been opened, and its contents were nowhere to be found.

"A chilling sensation, an icy coldness... that thing is... the Starshattering King Insect Skarakkabaz! The Breeding Messenger!"

As Liu Ying murmured to herself, she turned around, and the giant insect hidden in the shadows appeared. Its head was covered with insect mandibles, and it had four huge shells on its back. Inside the shells were thin, membranous wings that could lift its huge body into the air. Its two pairs of eyes looked at Qiong and Liu Ying with ill intent, its appetite extremely obvious.

"A messenger of reproduction? How is this possible?!"

Qiong absolutely did not believe that the insect in front of her was a messenger. The path of reproduction was currently empty. Even if the path of reproduction was retraced, it was impossible for a messenger to appear. Instead, it would directly skip this stage and become a star god. Without a star god, how could there be a messenger? It would not make sense according to the rules.

"I have seen it several times. Every time this guy appears, it destroys a fortress planet like crushing a mound of earth. The Grammer was completely unable to stop its advance. Countless biomedical spheres have died at its hands. Not only is its destructive power powerful, but the True Stinger swarms it produces are even more terrifying. They will devour everything in sight."

"Icefly took a deep breath and said, but because she had seen the real brooding envoy, she knew that the one in front of her was just an imposter, but still not to be underestimated."

"A-Qiong, stay behind me and don't make a move. It's time to face my past."

The fiery red marks that were characteristic of entropy loss appeared on Liu Ying's face. The transformation device burst into flames in her hand, and the tall Sam Armor appeared, enveloping her. Two green firefly wings grew from her back, like a cape.

"A firefly flies towards a flame, and lives towards death!"

Sam's voice mingled with that of Firefly, and two emerald longswords appeared in Sam's hands. He flew toward the Star Shattering King Worm, and a burst of emerald fire shot into the sky. The two former nemesis fought fiercely in this compartment. The Star Shattering King Worm's fighting pattern was to keep producing more worms. As long as you couldn't kill it as fast as it reproduced, you would eventually be worn down.

Sam used fire, which insects fear most, to deal with them. Whenever a true stinging insect approached it, it would be ignited by the green flames and fall down with a scream. Sam's twin swords left deep wounds on the Starshattering King Insect. After cutting off all its wings and armored legs, he plunged both swords into its head.

The four eyes of the Star-Shattering King Worm gradually dimmed, and its body stopped struggling. Qiong breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Sam win easily. As expected, it was a fake envoy, and its gold content was much lower than that of gold dust.

Qiong looked at Sam, only to see it raise its hands and smash the head of the Star-Shattering King Worm repeatedly. Even though the enemy was already dead, it continued to attack the corpse. Qiong knew this was not a good thing, so she quickly dropped the cat-shaped pastries in her hand and ran towards the out-of-control Sam.

"Ah Ying, it's over. Listen to me, it's all over. You won. You've overcome it."

Qiong hugged Samo's hot armor from behind and said that the high temperature after the battle had burned his skin, but he did not let go at all. After hearing his voice, Liu Ying calmed down a bit and was able to break free from the past.

The Sam Armor gradually disappeared, and Firefly landed and was held in Qiong's arms. The two snuggled together, and the insect corpses around them gradually turned into specks of light and disappeared.

"A-Qiong, I..."

As soon as Liu Ying opened her mouth, tears began to flow uncontrollably. Qiong knew that she was thinking of the past. She must have known some comrades when she was in the Legion, but now she was all alone.

"You did a great job. You have protected others once again."

Qiong comforted Liuying, who was clinging to his clothes and bursting into tears. Although she and Qiong were lovers, they had never mentioned the Grammer Legion, always glossing over it. But it seemed that the things they hadn't mentioned still existed.

"I'm sorry, I hurt you. I'm so sorry."

After crying, Liuying raised Qiong's hands, and seeing the burn marks on them, she couldn't stop crying again.

"It's alright, it's alright. I have a strong recovery ability. I'm a Star Core Essence."

Qiong smiled as he wiped away Liuying's tears. This wasn't untrue. Such an injury might be a severe burn for an ordinary person, but for him, with some medication and a good night's sleep, he would recover.

Liu Ying looked at Qiong apologetically, leaned her head against him, and their lips touched. Qiong was slightly surprised, but quickly accepted Liu Ying's love and hugged and kissed her for a long time before separating.

PS, please collect, recommend and vote for me

P.S. Happy New Year, everyone!

Chapter 171 The Plan is Complete

After Liu Ying had kissed him enough, Qiong separated from her. The two tidied up and then took the elevator away from the secret compartment, returning to the ordinary area of ​​the space station.

Upon entering the well-lit cabin, both of them felt as if they had returned from a battlefield in space.

Qiong asked the passing staff about the location of Ruan Mei's laboratory. After finding out, she took Liu Ying there. After opening the door with the command card, she went inside. The laboratory was more normal than she had imagined. There was no strange research. Instead, there were some green plants. At this time, Cheese Lava Heart had been teleported here. Qiong put down the cat pastries she had picked up and let them find a place to play.

"Why would this wicked woman create breeding insects?"

Liu Ying sat down in the laboratory chair. She felt alright here; it didn't seem like the laboratory of some mad scientist. But she still couldn't forget the insects that Ruan Mei had created.

"Her hobby is creating life. Maybe she wants to work on the intensity, such as being born as a creation with the power of an envoy. Other destinies can't be messed around like this. Only unclaimed destinies can be used."

Qiong could only guess what had happened based on his understanding of Ruan Mei. He guessed it was the kind of mentality that normal people couldn't afford to play with, otherwise how could he be called a genius?

"If that's the case, where did she get her materials? Back then, when the Amber King struck with his hammer, all the insects should have been reduced to ashes."

"I am curious," Liu Ying asked. Although she was not on the path of preservation, Amber King's actions had avenged all her comrades, so Liu Ying was still happy to praise preservation.

"Do you think it's possible that bad people provided Nguyen Mai with materials so she could make it?"

Qiong guessed.

"What kind of good things can be made by people like this? I'll kill them all, one by one."

The firefly has a murderous aura; she can't stay calm when it comes to insects, and you can only sleep peacefully if you completely eradicate her.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Qiong smiled and patted Liuying's hand. The two waited for a while, and then the laboratory door opened. Ruan Mei walked in slowly and nodded when she saw Qiong.

“It seems you’ve taken care of my troubles,” Nguyen Mai said.

"They dealt with it and brought the children back."

Qiong pointed to the cat-shaped pastries piled up like a cake tower and said, "Ruan Mei glanced at them, but ignored the little guys' longing eyes."

"You wicked thing! Why did you revive the messenger of reproduction? If you don't explain yourself clearly, I don't mind adding a few more zeros to the wanted poster!"

Liu Ying was the first to speak up, saying that she was originally a vicious wanted criminal, which meant that after she killed a genius from a genius club, the bounty would definitely increase dramatically, but she didn't care.

“56 seconds,” Nguyen Mai said.

"what?"

"Even if you don't deal with it, it will not be able to maintain its body after 56 seconds and will dissipate into particles."

"Does this have anything to do with you creating insects?"

Firefly dislikes communicating with geniuses; this answer was different from her question and not what she wanted.

"I just want to know how powerful individuals I can create right now, but it's clear that my knowledge is still insufficient."

Ruan Mei said with slight disappointment that when Liu Ying heard about her purpose in creating the insects, she wished she could cremate her right now. It was only because Qiong was still there that Liu Ying would have actually taken action.

"That's it? Do you know what would happen to this star system if you created a real spawning envoy?"

Liu Ying's voice suddenly rose a lot. She glared at Ruan Mei. It was ironic that Liu Ying, a created life, had more compassion than Ruan Mei, who was born naturally.

"If it really can be done, it will become my pet and won't hurt anyone else."

Ruan Mei calmly responded to Liu Ying's question. She could become a creator, and it would be easy for her to place a controllable switch inside the creation. Therefore, Liu Ying's worries were completely unfounded.

"you..."

Liu Yingqi's chest heaved, but her personal experience told her that Ruan Mei was not lying. Wasn't entropy disorder something her creator had put into her body? It was exactly the same.

"Alright, alright, calm down. Liuying just wants to know who gave you the material. You couldn't have collected it yourself, could you?"

Qiong stepped in to smooth things over, saying that they couldn't really let Liu Ying do anything to Ruan Mei, as he was counting on Ruan Mei to cure his illness.

“A guest from the Immortal Boat asked me for a favor, and I accepted the payment. That’s all.”

"Isn't that person a breeding lackey? He didn't intend to reproduce?"

After calming down a bit, Liu Ying asked, "Instead of arguing with Ruan Mei, it's better to go find the person who caused the trouble."

"Not really."

Ruan Mei shook her head and said, "This has killed the conversation." Liu Ying looked at her for a while before angrily leaving the laboratory. Liu Ying felt uncomfortable being in the same place as someone like Ruan Mei.

"You don't seem surprised that I told Liuying what happened. Your anti-vomiting potion was completely useless!"

After Liu Ying left, Qiong spoke to Ruan Mei, wanting to see her reaction.

"It doesn't really matter. After this experiment is over, you can tell me about my situation to whomever you want."

"I think you're just being stubborn. Can you control me when I'm being watched by the three star gods?"

Qiong's expression gradually became more unrestrained, and she winked and provoked Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei was just calm, but that didn't mean she had no temper.

"If you say that again, I'll slice you up and study you."

"I was wrong."

Qiong knelt obediently on the ground and said that seeing him admit defeat so quickly, Ruan Mei felt that she had been angry for nothing and became even angrier.

“When I saw the Grammer Cavalry, I knew this job was perfect for her, but she definitely wouldn’t listen to me, so she took advantage of you,” Nguyen Mai said.

"Fine, whatever, anyway, my relationship with Liuying has progressed further."

Qiong said happily that although the process was somewhat unexpected, the result was good. Ruan Mei's work was completed and Liu Ying was saved. This was all good.

"In fact, I don't like things to always go exactly as I plan; experiments without variables are boring."

"Therefore, I am very happy. In this story where almost everything happened as expected, there was still an unexpected surprise."

Ruan Mei told Qiong that the unexpected joy she mentioned was the arrival of Liu Ying, a member of the Grammer Iron Cavalry who would never have anything to do with her. Because she came here with Qiong and defeated her former nemesis, it was indeed a good ending.

Chapter 172 Ruan Mei Doesn't Understand Love

As Ruan Mei and Qiong were talking, the little creatures on the ground couldn't resist. They came to Ruan Mei's feet and gently pushed her high heels with their cat paws that emerged from the pastry shells.

Ruan Mei looked down at the creatures surrounding her, and instead of disliking them for being useless except for being cute, she was somewhat moved.

"I must admit that these little guys born in the process are sometimes very touching."
