Chapter 140: Interstellar ABO (25)

The unique pressure that only Alphas could feel emanated from Chi Junluo, making it difficult for Yi Wen to breathe. His body sensed an intense crisis, and he instinctively tensed up as if it were the only way to find a sliver of security. Beads of sweat dripped incessantly from his forehead.

Yi Wen watched as Chi Junluo stood there coldly, unmoved even after hearing his words. She was carefully shielding the Omega he had loved and schemed for for so many years. He was so furious he could have spat blood. When he saw Yi Shuhan's hand wrap around Chi Junluo's waist, the flames of jealousy and rage in his eyes were about to erupt.

Seeing that Yi Wen was thoroughly suppressed, Chi Junluo turned her head back, opened her mouth, and with some difficulty, forced a sound from her still-recovering throat. "Are you… okay?"

It was the first time Chi Junluo had spoken in this world, and it felt incredibly strange. An unfamiliar, hoarse voice drifted from this body's throat. Just from saying that one sentence, Chi Junluo could feel a dull ache starting in her throat.

Yi Shuhan leaned against Chi Chi's warm, firm waist for a short while. Every breath was filled with an alluring, refreshing scent of mint, which both jolted her awake and made her heart flutter.

Hearing Chi Chi's long-awaited voice, no matter how raspy, Yi Shuhan remembered it clearly. This was Chi Chi's voice; even the intonation was exactly the same!

Chi Junluo's question made her realize that this was neither the time nor the place for intimacy with her Chi Chi. A sudden wave of irritation washed over her. She wanted to hurry up and carry her beloved Chi Chi back to her little nest to do some… intimate things.

Fearing that speaking would hurt Chi Chi's throat, she quickly replied that she was fine.

She used Chi Chi's body for slight support as she stood up. Sensing the movement behind her, Chi Junluo quickly turned to steady Yi Shuhan, whose legs were a bit weak. A bright light flashed in Yi Shuhan's eyes. Her Chi Chi was taking the initiative to care for her!

She clearly hadn't realized that her cover was blown. For the past few days, Chi Chi had been very reserved, mindful of her actions, and liked to intentionally keep her distance. It would be a lie to say it didn't hurt. Now that Chi Chi had changed, returning to the gentle, considerate, and attentive Chi Chi of the past, Yi Shuhan's heart filled with a quiet joy. Then, she suddenly cursed herself for that moment of madness when she'd created a love rival for herself.

Seeing that Chi Junluo didn't reject her, Yi Shuhan seized the opportunity to lean into her Chi Chi's embrace. Heavens knew how long she had wanted to do this!

Chi Junluo's heart began to beat a little faster, and the hand supporting Yi Shuhan's arm trembled slightly. She quickly composed herself, her eyes unconsciously drifting toward Yi Shuhan. In that instant, Yi Shuhan suddenly lost all interest in listening to the scumbag in front of them ramble on. She didn't want to recall the past at all. She had Chi Chi, and for the days to come, she would have Chi Chi by her side. All that mattered was that Chi Chi didn't mind her past. From Chi Chi's protective actions just now, Yi Shuhan tentatively concluded that Chi Chi hadn't developed any prejudice or distance toward her because of what the traitorous scumbag had said. Her Chi Chi was truly so gentle…

"Let's not listen to his nonsense anymore. Let's just pack him up and take him away," Yi Shuhan said, nuzzling Chi Junluo's neck. Her soft hair tickled Chi Junluo's heart. Upon hearing Yi Shuhan's decision, Chi Junluo immediately channeled the Power of the Heavenly Dao and struck the back of Yi Wen's head. The scumbag slumped to the side, unconscious. Chi Junluo was also thoroughly fed up with this Yi Wen. He had committed an unforgivable mistake, hurting the person he supposedly loved most. He kept claiming how much he loved Yi Shuhan, but in the end, all he delivered was betrayal and harm. That wasn't love!

In her heart, Chi Junluo dismissed Yi Wen's love as utterly worthless, failing to realize that the standard by which she judged it came from her own love.

Chi Junluo grabbed several bottles of liquor from the cabinet, opened them all, and poured them directly over the two scumbags on the floor. Once the strong smell of alcohol filled the air, she tossed the bottles aside and helped Yi Shuhan to the sofa in the center of the hall. Just then, a low sobbing sound came from a corner. Chi Junluo's eyes darkened. Only then did she remember the three Omegas in this vast room whom they had overlooked. What happened tonight had to stay buried with those present. Yi Shuhan's identity was special; if word got out, who knew how it would be twisted and exaggerated. She didn't want Yi Shuhan to suffer a second time. She wouldn't allow any potential threats to fester.

Chi Junluo walked over at a steady, unhurried pace, the blue in her eyes beginning to spread again. The three Omegas were already scared out of their wits by what had just transpired. They huddled in the corner, praying silently. Having been at Blue Star Haitian for so long, they had seen their companions beaten to death or tortured to death for failing to properly serve the powerful elites who came for entertainment. People like them had no human rights. It could be said that in the entire Alliance, the only people who truly had so-called human rights were the powerful and noble families. For ordinary people trying to make a living, that term was a distant dream. The Star Network seemed free and open, but that was only when nothing happened. When something truly happened, the so-called human rights and laws were all bullshit.

Watching the powerful, masked Alpha approach step by step, the Omegas' eyes widened in terror. They clamped their hands over their mouths, terrified that crying out would get them killed instantly. They didn't want to die!

Chi Junluo raised her hand, and a golden energy shot from her palm, sweeping toward the group. Just a moment ago, Chi Junluo had intended to directly eliminate these three loose ends. But the instant that thought crossed her mind, something unprecedented and strange occurred.

A method for using that power—the one the Heavenly Dao claimed was her own—suddenly flashed in her mind. It didn't disappear but remained there, floating quietly in her sea of consciousness, shimmering so brightly it was impossible to ignore.

As the Omegas recalled the descriptions of Chi Junluo as a legendary demon, the golden energy pierced fiercely into their minds. Guided by Chi Junluo's subconscious thought, it directly sealed their memories. All memories of tonight were gone, leaving nothing behind.

Sealing. Chi Junluo had only ever heard of it in fantasy dramas about gods and demons. So this ability was also called sealing.

Chi Junluo looked at the three pitiful Omegas who had been dragged into this mess and were now collapsed on the floor. She shook her head and walked back.

Now, all that was left was to take these two scumbags away.

Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan were utterly disgusted. Not wanting Yi Shuhan to dirty her mental power, Chi Junluo chose to begrudgingly use the Power of the Heavenly Dao she had collected to deal with these two pieces of trash.

Heavenly Dao: ???

With a pull of the Heavenly Dao's power, she yanked the large bedsheet from the bed on the east side and threw it over the two scumbags. Then, with another twist and turn of the power, she rolled them up together with the chandelier fragments and tossed the bundle aside with disgust.

Yi Shuhan looked up at the ceiling. This was the top floor, a vast space with a high ceiling. She nodded in satisfaction, then raised a hand and summoned her mecha. She opened the storage compartment door, and Chi Junluo tossed the bundle of scumbags inside. Then, the two of them entered the cockpit.

The original plan was to have someone at Blue Star Haitian assist them. They would just pour the alcohol and have a waiter help deliver the men to the entrance. But later, considering Nim's special status, they abandoned that plan, intending to just use spatial teleportation technology to take them away. As for the alcohol she had just poured, it was purely out of frustration. If it weren't for the special interrogation that was to follow, she would have wanted to toss the two scumbags into a septic tank.

Yi Shuhan activated the mecha's space jump. A spatial fluctuation occurred, and in the blink of an eye, the room was empty.

Yi Shuhan had already contacted Yi Jun and arranged for people from the Yi Family's interrogation department to take over. As soon as they arrived at the open ground outside the research institute, they saw more than fifty members of the Yi Family's interrogation department, armed to the teeth, surrounding the mecha with their weapons raised. Yi Shuhan was used to such scenes. The interrogation department loved collaborating with the equipment department. They looked less like the Yi Family's army and more like legendary terrorists, all clad in black. Who knew what kind of aesthetic those two departments had.

Chi Junluo tossed the bundle of scumbags out of the storage compartment. The interrogation department personnel saw the two people wrapped up in a ball, and a vein twitched on their foreheads. However, their excellent professionalism kept them from saying anything. They quickly loaded the scumbags, bedsheet and all, into a vehicle and returned to their own department.

The interrogation department's capabilities were beyond question, so Yi Shuhan was very much at ease. After reporting her safety to her father, she gave the command for the large machine in the lab to come out and tow the mecha inside. Then, she happily pulled Chi Junluo back into the research lab.

Yi Shuhan hurried to organize the video evidence from before, as well as the evidence of Yi Wen and Nim Derian's conspiracy. Now that the men were captured, the interrogation department would begin their work overnight, and there would be results by morning.

During a lull, Yi Shuhan noticed that Chi Junluo, who was sitting to the side playing with her light screen, was still wearing her mask. She frowned slightly. They were basically at home now; her Chi Chi didn't need to be so formal.

"Chi Chi, take off the mask. You're back now, so relax a little." After saying that, Yi Shuhan turned back to the task at hand.

Chi Junluo paused for a moment, then reached up, unfastened the mask, and set it aside.

She opened the recording function on her light screen and was surprised to find that in just one day, the marks on her face had almost completely faded.

Chi Junluo browsed her own information on the Star Network. Thinking about the fact that the heroine was sitting right in front of her, she recalled the boundary-crossing marking when she first arrived and the heroine's feelings for her. Now that things had quieted down, she scratched her head in frustration.

Chi Chi sighed softly. If only the Heavenly Dao were here. She felt as if she hadn't seen the Heavenly Dao in centuries. She suddenly missed that chattering entity that bounced around in her sea of consciousness.

Hearing Chi Chi's faint sigh, Yi Shuhan paused her work. She thought for a moment and then suggested, "Chi Chi, would you like to go back to your home and have a look? It might help you understand your past and recover your memories."

The military had sealed off Chi Junluo's residence, but a few days ago, after finding Chi Chi, Yi Shuhan had her father find a way to replace the guards with people from the Yi Family. She had originally planned to accompany Chi Chi herself after everything was over, but she now keenly sensed that perhaps Chi Chi wanted to be alone for a while. It might be better to let her go home and see.

Chi Junluo considered it for a moment and agreed. Yi Shuhan was busy, so she had her subordinates arrange for a driver to take Chi Junluo to her original body's residence. Then, after handling all the evidence, she opened the Star Network and logged into another one of her verified accounts.

At eleven o'clock at night, the prime time for Alliance citizens to browse the Star Network before bed, a major V with 1.6 billion followers came online. Many people simultaneously received a notification that an account named "'Star Obsessed' War Correspondent" had logged in.

This account had an official Alliance verification as a war correspondent—a genuine war correspondent who piloted their own mecha onto the battlefield. There were many war correspondents in the Alliance, but only this "'Star Obsessed' War Correspondent" published war footage that was all filmed up close, and they only ever followed Admiral Chi.

The people of the Alliance had many theories about the account's identity, but no one could ever find out who was behind it. Now, this account, which hadn't been active for a long time, had finally logged in.

People clicked on it, their hearts heavy with grief for the fallen Admiral Chi. Perhaps it was a compilation of old footage?

Their sorrow lasted less than half a second. Because of the fast network speed, a line of large, bold text instantly filled their vision: "Admiral Chi is still alive."

The Alliance was stunned. The Alliance erupted.
