CHAPTER 10
Du Chengli was still thinking about this pirate force, but he didn't expect the pirate leader to connect to the emperor's private line.
It seems that, just as he thought, the high-level executives on both sides have personal relationships.
It's just that Du Chengli didn't expect Huo Ze directly order: "Cut it off."
You Long also seemed slightly surprised and added: "But if this is the case, Captain Karloff will take over."
Huo Ze said coldly, "Then block his signal first."
Youlong extinguished the communication blue light, "Alright then, Your Majesty."
Du Chengli glanced at Huo Ze. Could it be that his relationship with Karloff is not good?
But in You Long's words, it is apparent that he is very familiar with this pirate leader.
It is more than just familiarity. Youlong received Karloff's signal; if not ten thousand, there would be eight thousand, and he had fought with Karloff's mech Persian cat in the early years.
At this time, the Persian cat found that the emperor had blocked its signal. It thought it was a system failure.
"That four-legged snake is messing around."
"How dare he cut off Lao Tzu's communication?"
When Karloff found that the blue light had been extinguished several times for no reason, he angrily retracted the long legs resting on the console, wishing he could kill that stupid dragon in the air.
The Persian cat reminded: "Captain, we are still blocked!"
Karloff was angry now, but he immediately realised that this matter was unusual.
The Persian cat spacecraft was hovering in a delicate position at the edge of the two forces, so it asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"
"Are we still entering the central galaxy?"
Karloff touched his chin, and the cunning in his blue eyes flashed, "There must be something wrong with this guy."
What made him more suspicious of Huo Ze's problem was a confidential text message, followed by a transmission to him.
The Persian cat deciphered the content: "The emperor said that something happened to him temporarily, so he asked the captain to go to Arman Prime, and he arranged for his cronies to receive him."
"The emperor also said he would contact you as soon as possible to deal with the matter together."
After finishing speaking, it asked strangely: "Captain, didn't you agree to have a secret meeting in the Water Lily Galaxy?"
Karloff narrowed his eyes and said, "The ghost knows what he's thinking."
"But if he thinks I'll be obedient, he's wrong."
The Persian cat became excited and said, "Captain, shall we go?"
Karloff snorted and said, "First, find out where Huo Ze has been recently, what he has done, and who he has met."
Although the Emperor of the Alman Empire has lived in seclusion for the past thirty years and has never been out of the Water Lily Galaxy, he returned to the Star Palace a few months ago. As the number one person in the empire, everyone focused on him. Where he went, what he did, and who he met were all reported by countless media outlets.
A mecha like the Persian cat, good at information analysis, will certainly not come up with such a simple answer. It will screen out the information its owner needs layer by layer based on the surface information data.
"The emperor last appeared at the Imperial Airship Dinner, a grand social event and the only Imperial airship qualified to circle the Water Lily Galaxy."
"All the guest lists were extracted, scanned, and analysed, and there were no suspicious persons."
Karloff was not surprised. He folded his arms and looked at the rapidly changing holographic image, and said, "Continue."
"The star network related to all guests has been integrated, and the relevant information about the dinner is being scanned and analysed."
Karloff sat on the retro high-backed chair, with his long and strong legs stepping on the plush carpet, constantly beating the beat and humming the love song, "If you like to have fun with me at midnight, on the beach, you're the love I'm looking for, baby; let's elope together, oh oh la la la."
After he sang it tatteredly a few times, the Persian cat said in surprise, "Captain, there is something to gain; just look at this!"
Karloff looked at the still image, which was the most popular for instant sharing. A military cadet named Luo Er shared a photo with a caption explaining that a friend's boyfriend is a once-in-a-millennium beauty.
Compared with serious holographic recordings, one can imagine the imaging effect of this kind of film, but it is also enough to appreciate the protagonist's appearance.
Karloff stared at the people inside, and all the indifference on his face disappeared.
The man in the picture is slender and handsome, dressed meticulously in a retro gentleman's three-piece suit, and his abstinence makes people's blood boil. When he walked over, his gaze also turned over. Those sultry eyes seemed to have hooks across the dimension, which could quickly hook away and eat people's souls.
The Persian cat excitedly asked for credit: "Captain, they had deleted this information long ago, but it was recovered by me wittily."
"The 'beauty' keyword I scanned matches Madam's appearance."
"Do you think he looks like Madam?"
Karlov sneered, "What the hell did he say?"
The man in the video also said, "Hi, I'm Wade's boyfriend, Du Chengli."
Karloff kicked the holographic projection to the curb.
The Persian cat screamed, "Captain, it hurts!"
Karloff was so angry that his eyes were bleeding. Thinking of the man standing beside his wife, he wished he could tear up that little bastard. He clenches his fists and strides violently in the spaceship like a lion about to growl and eat people at any time.
Seeing its owner like this, the Persian cat didn't care about the pain and quickly explained: "Captain, maybe it's just that they look alike, although the possibility of this is quite slight."
"After all, our madam's is so excellent, but the empress's face is also the same as our madam's."
"It can be said that among the hundreds of billions of people in the interstellar world, there are one or two people with similar faces?"
Karlov gritted his teeth and said, "Are you fucking deaf?" He said his name was Du Chengli! My wife is called Du Chengli! Only my wife can be called Du Chengli!
The Persian cat flinched and said cautiously: "Captain, I understand that you, as an alpha, care about your omega, but you must know that the empress is also called Du Chengli."
"If he is the captain's wife, how could he go to the Emperor? Instead of looking for you at Walden Fortress, why did he attend the imperial dinner party? It's not logical at all."
After finishing speaking, it immediately added a sentence: "And, madam, he can't leave you for a moment. Except for you, the captain, madam doesn't like anyone. How could he find such a weak boyfriend? It's not logical."
Karloff doesn't care about logic or logic now; he only knows his intuition, and that person is his wife.
He still believed that Huo Ze's sudden change of mind must have something to do with this matter.
If this Du Chengli is the Empress, why didn't he say it? Over the years, they have disclosed so many details to each other; isn't it for the same goal?
So there must be a conspiracy here.
Karloff ordered: "Continue to analyse the information of that weak chicken Alpha named 'Vader,' and now, let's go to the Water Lily Galaxy."
The Persian cat said anxiously, "Captain, even if we go, we can't get in. The emperor has arranged an indiscriminate attack. You didn't come with the Revenge now, and you can't force your way in. I can't do it; I'm thin-skinned, ah."
Karloff said: "You don't need to do it; I'll go in alone, but I have to find a way to lure Huo Ze away."
Hehe. Huo Ze is not a mortal, is he?
Play this game with him?
Karloff's blue eyes were full of bloodshot hostility if Huo Ze dared to take his wife's...
Millions of light-years away, Huo Ze sneezed on a planet in the Water Lily system.
Du Chengli turned around and glanced at him. Huo Ze waved his hands and explained, "The scent of flowers here is a bit strong."
Can't stand the fragrance but still plant this Ningshen flower?
Forty-One: "Don't tell me this Ningshen flower is growing well and you can make a lot of money by selling it worldwide. I didn't expect you to find such a treasure in this place without Qi."
Du Chengli didn't expect either.
The spirit energy is thin, and the interstellar plane with highly developed technology hides an asteroid with apparent spirit energy. Although it is far from comparable to the Great Thousand Worlds, in the interstellar plane, the density of this kind of spiritual energy is already considered a miracle.
"I remember that when you first discovered this place, you were as surprised as you are now, and now you are still surprised."
Huo Ze's expression was soft as if he were lost in memory: "You said I finally found a place where I can practice, and I may also ascend to the Great Thousand World to be with you."
Du Chengli was taken aback, so has he told Huo Ze about these things before?
Then this shows that he didn't want to be responsible from the beginning, but at least he thought about being accountable to Huo Ze instead of flirting and running.
Then why did he face the natural disaster directly, this irreversible way of escaping? In the end, did he run away after flirting?
Forty-One: "President, my radar tells me that there are a hundred bloody plots, hehe."
Du Chengli: "You don't have that nonsense radar."
Forty-One: "Just a metaphor. Mr President, you are not humorous; it must be hard for your husband to live with you."
Du Chengli: "Shut up."
Of course, he knew he had no sense of humour and a boring personality, so he didn't think about troubling others. He never thought about finding a partner, not to mention thinking about it during the mission, even in this extraordinary world.
But Huo Ze is different; it's already happened. He can only be with him even if the other party feel bored.
Du Chengli asked concernedly, "What is your cultivation level now?"
Huo Ze said slowly, "When you left, I was a late Nascent Soul, but I had been promoted a while ago."
Although Du Chengli vaguely guessed his level of cultivation from the foreshadowing in the early stage, he was still a little surprised to hear that he had been promoted to the void stage. After all, this plane is not suitable for cultivating immortals at all.
He then asked, "Then how long have you been practising?"
Huo Ze looked deeply at him and said tenderly, "One hundred and forty-two years, starting from the day I met you."
According to the calculations of the world, it took about a hundred years for Du Chengli to divide himself and absorb his soul. But in different small thousand worlds, the time system is entirely inconsistent, and the time difference is huge. Speaking of which, the latter is when it happened.
Forty-One: "I'm sleepwalking, right? Cultivating less than two hundred years. This can't be true. President, you have cultivated the soul to the void stage for six or seven hundred years. You are already outstanding, thanks to your model-worker spirit. But he is a mortal from a small world, and he can cultivate faster than you."
Du Chengli was also very curious about this.
And he already had some guesses: "Huo Ze, your physique is a bit special, right?"
Huo Ze nodded and said with a smile, "Do you still remember?" You said that I have the magic core of an ancient demon in my body.
"Although it is incomplete, cultivating on the immortals' path can get twice the result with half the effort and make thousands of miles a day."
