Ling Kuang's face was cold.
That little beast had been taken away by Ji Feng for several days.
For these past few days, he hadn't even had the heart to cultivate or handle official business.
His subordinate looked at the man before him, who looked like he was about to explode at any moment. He hesitated for a moment and spoke cautiously.
"That... Warden?"
"Warden, do... do you need to rest a bit?"
"This is the list of recent prisoners. This time, several nearby star systems have sent a total of one hundred and fifty-two prisoners..."
The man kept rambling on, detailing the crimes of each prisoner sent here. Ling Kuang suddenly looked up at the man before him and asked.
"Where is she."
The subordinate opposite him was stunned for several seconds before tentatively asking.
"Warden, who... who are you referring to?"
The warden showed a flicker of impatience.
He reached out and tugged at his sleeve, but his restless mood was clearly not soothed. After a few seconds, the warden spoke coldly.
"I'm talking about that little beast."
"Didn't she successfully differentiate and get taken away by Ji Feng?"
"Where did she go."
"Did Ji Feng take her back to the Yun Jing Federation?"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate opposite him was dumbfounded.
"Ah? Warden, you didn't tell me to pay attention to this matter... I don't know her whereabouts at all. Otherwise, I'll help the Warden ask around again and see where she's gone."
Ling Kuang was silent for a moment, then stood up abruptly.
"No need."
"I won't care about a... a little beast's whereabouts."
He said this with absolute certainty.
Then he stood up and went to the cultivation room.
Sounds of crackling came from the cultivation room, but when this cold and proud man walked out, his mind was still filled with her.
The girl's flustered expression.
Her eyes were crystal clear, like a pool of clear spring water.
As the spring water surged, the depths of her pupils were bright and dazzling. It was hard to describe the feeling, but the moment he saw her face, his heart skipped a beat.
A flash of anger crossed his face.
This girl...
She truly made him...
So preoccupied.
The subordinate cautiously walked up to him and asked.
"Uh... Warden, the milk you specifically ordered for that little beast was delivered with this batch of supplies... but she's already been taken away by Marshal Ji Feng. Warden, what should we do with this milk?"
His question made Ling Kuang's expression even fouler!
"Pour it out!"
"Okay, Warden."
His subordinate was about to pour the milk away, but he took a deep breath and suddenly changed his mind.
"Wait."
"Bring it here."
"Yes, Warden."
His subordinate carefully handed the milk to the warden, being extremely cautious, afraid of the warden spilling the small bowl of milk. The man before him narrowed his eyes, reached out, took the small bowl of milk, and drank it down without hesitation.
He snorted coldly.
His tone was very indifferent.
"It tastes awful."
"Only that kind of helpless little beast would drink something as terribly tasting as this!"
The warden looked indifferent, his cheeks showing no particular expression. He slowly swallowed the milk, then flicked his hand and said.
"Don't send this kind of awful stuff again."
The person before him immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes."
"We'll do as you say."
"But... Warden, we really can't find out the little beast's whereabouts. Warden, you know – Lord Ji Feng is also a top expert. If he's unwilling to reveal the little beast's whereabouts, we truly can't know..."
His voice sounded extremely cautious.
Ling Kuang let out a cold snort.
"I'll go to the Yun Jing Federation."
The subordinate opposite him was greatly alarmed.
"But Warden... you can't leave the Eighth Prison... This is what you promised the Interstellar Council..."
"You're not going to the interstellar battlefield, but it's best you don't appear in the outside world either..."
"Sir... you..."
"Don't you need to go into closed-door cultivation? If you walk out so brazenly, what will those council members think?"
The handsome, stern, and imposing man's eyes turned so cold they almost froze into ice. He looked at his subordinate indifferently and retorted.
"Do I need to consider their thoughts?"
"I don't need to consider what they think."
"Arrange a spaceship for me."
He said this with immense arrogance!
This was indeed something he could say, and the subordinate opposite could only give a wry smile and nod in agreement.
"Yes, sir, I'll arrange a spaceship for you right away!"
...
On the interstellar spaceship, Lin Muci wore a fluffy shawl. The man before her said.
"You have indeed inherited your mother's fox clan bloodline. A young beast needs meticulous care during its cubhood... especially during its differentiation period, when it's incredibly fragile. If the differentiation fails, it will... its soul will scatter immediately."
"Those bastards from the Cang Hai Empire, not only did they force your mother to death, but they also sent you to a place like the Eighth Prison. They wanted you to die!"
His eyes were filled with coldness as he spoke! As if the air around them had dropped in temperature.
The chill gradually spread.
It felt as if the surroundings were instantly covered in ice and snow.
Lin Muci felt chills and couldn't help but sneeze. The man noticed her sneezing and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head, his tone softening considerably in an instant.
"Cold?"
"Daddy has prepared warm clothes for you."
"Female beasts are extremely precious and delicate in the universe. Only that bastard from the Eighth Prison would treat you like a prisoner and lock you up."
"It's a pity that fellow truly has exceptional talent. At such a young age, his talent was measured at SSS-level, shocking the interstellar community. He was even specially approved to be brought into the council for special training. If he hadn't been arrogant and offended the son of the Grand Council Chairman back then, he wouldn't have been sent to the Eighth Prison, which is equivalent to exile."
"However, there's another saying in the universe that he wasn't exiled because he offended the Grand Council Chairman's son, but because his cultivation went wrong."
"But from what I see, this fellow's cultivation is unfathomable. He's definitely a top-tier interstellar expert!"
Ji Feng's expression was solemn, but he earnestly comforted Lin Muci.
"Don't worry, Daddy will definitely avenge you for this."
"Sooner or later, Daddy will be able to defeat that man!"
