Lin Muci hadn't expected to encounter space pirates in the vastness of space. The person opposite glanced at Lin Muci and immediately began to soothe her emotions gently.
"Don't worry, they're just some space pirates. I'll take care of them quickly!"
Ji Feng let out a cold laugh.
"These shameless wretches—do they really think they can pose any threat to me?"
The bottom hatch of the spaceship opened, and he directly piloted his mech out, a sharp killing intent surging in his eyes. After all, he was a top-tier powerhouse, and facing such a provocation, he naturally couldn't tolerate it.
As Lin Muci watched his figure leap out, she reached up and rubbed her chin, her expression one of deep thought.
Ji Feng's expression was as cold as ice.
Lin Muci, looking through the window, saw the silver-white mech exude a powerful,肅殺 (sù shā -肅殺) aura. She watched intently as the mech engaged in combat in outer space, drifting in the void, firing cold lasers. Vortices even began to appear around Ji Feng.
The opposing spaceship continuously spewed red streams of light, which began to distort around his body. The enemy seemed to sense something was amiss and increased their firepower, intending to directly overwhelm Ji Feng. Ji Feng, however, let out a series of cold laughs, gathering countless streams of light into his mech's palm. His attacks were ferociously fierce, leaving no room for retreat.
Ji Feng raised his head and looked at the figure opposite, speaking in a chilling voice.
"Don't think you can escape!"
He was actually capable of single-handedly resisting an incredibly formidable spacecraft!
This was indeed something only a top-tier powerhouse could achieve. The moment Ji Feng made his move, the rogue space pirates realized they had hit a hard obstacle. They exchanged glances, a sense of dread washing over them.
They wished they could flee immediately, but the situation was dire. Having already engaged in battle, running now would appear too cowardly. They could only grit their teeth and continue fighting.
Lin Muci watched the intense exchange outside, her heart pounding rapidly.
Were space battles always this...
This thrilling?
She suddenly wondered what kind of terrifying strength Ling Qianhe possessed in this world. Was he even more powerful than the Demon Lord from the first minor world?
However, upon reflection, she felt it was unlikely. Still, Lin Muci's curiosity grew. She blinked her eyes, her mind filled with questions.
Without seeing him in action, it was difficult to gauge his true strength.
And...
Lin Muci remembered, and a trace of annoyance surfaced. In this world, her little system had disappeared somewhere. If the little system were here, she wouldn't be so... so lost.
If the little system were still around, it could at least clarify the main plot of this world.
Right now, she felt like a blind person. And that scoundrel Ling Qianhe didn't even recognize her, talking about prison wardens, Ling Kuang... he was just a complete idiot!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She let out a soft snort, becoming slightly lost in thought, but in an instant, she noticed something was wrong.
Wait a minute—
What was that...
Lin Muci's gaze suddenly landed on a black vortex slowly appearing in the corner.
Initially, she thought it was some secret weapon controlled by Ji Feng, but she realized that Ji Feng seemed completely unaware of this black vortex.
Lin Muci immediately gasped, a bad premonition flashing through her mind!
"What is that..."
"Could it be a black hole?"
But how could a black hole appear here? However, Lin Muci reconsidered; black holes were born in space entirely at random.
She tapped on the window, wanting to warn Ji Feng.
"Black hole detected—please move the spaceship as soon as possible!"
"Warning, please move the spaceship as soon as possible!"
Ji Feng was still battling the pirate spaceship. Lin Muci grew anxious. She looked towards the cockpit; the spaceship had already activated emergency response measures. The indicator lights inside turned a conspicuous bright red, flashing back and forth. Then, the cockpit hatch opened—
Waiting for Ji Feng's return.
Lin Muci rushed to the hatch and shouted.
"Hurry back!"
Ji Feng glanced back—he turned and flew towards Lin Muci.
He no longer wanted to tangle with the space pirates. Bringing his daughter back to the Yun Jing Federation safely was the most important thing. But the next moment, a sudden change occurred. From behind, a remarkably long mechanical claw shot out from the pirate ship and directly grasped Lin Muci!
Lin Muci froze.
Lasers from all around targeted the mechanical claw. Standing atop the claw was a fully armored youth who gritted his teeth and glared at Ji Feng.
"Ji Feng, abandon your invasion of our Cang Hai Empire!"
"Otherwise, I will kill this girl!"
Ji Feng looked at the opponent with indifference.
The laser gun in his palm fired directly, but the armor on the youth's body instantly emitted an extremely strong silver-white light that swept over everything, nearly engulfing people. Lin Muci heard the youth's gritted teeth, his voice seemingly processed and amplified countless times!
"Ji Feng! Don't push your luck too far... Our Cang Hai Empire has a legacy of countless years, and you, a rebellious traitor, are no match for us!"
"Ji Feng—you are a top-tier powerhouse, but is this girl as well? Unless they reach a certain power level, they cannot escape!"
"This is a special containment device and a magnetic absorption device that we obtained from the Interstellar Council using the royal treasury's entire savings—she simply cannot escape!"
"Ji Feng!"
"Abandon your attack on the Cang Hai Empire, or I will kill her!"
Lin Muci felt a hand cruelly grab her by the back of her neck. She desperately wanted to roll her eyes but was helpless, as the opponent's palm was still firmly gripping her neck, threatening her. She gasped for air, wanting to remind the person about the approaching black hole—
If they didn't let go, if they didn't run now, everyone would die!
But she didn't even have the chance to speak.
The opponent fiercely clenched her neck, their voice chilling to the bone!
"Did you hear me?"
"Abandon your attack on the Cang Hai Empire!"
The words were spoken coldly, devoid of warmth. Ji Feng let out a series of cold laughs and said.
"If you dare to touch a single hair on her, I will annihilate the nine generations of your Cang Hai Empire's royal family! I will ensure you are utterly reduced to ashes throughout the universe!"
The two sides remained in a tense standoff, and Lin Muci felt as if she could barely breathe. She gasped for air again and looked up, only to see the black hole vortex in the distance had drawn significantly closer to them. It happened without any warning. She widened her eyes and desperately waved her hands!
"Quick... Run away quickly!"
But her voice wouldn't come out.
She could only watch in despair as the black hole approached.
Then, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
This voice, for a moment, transformed her despair into joy.
"Host!"
"I finally found you, *ying ying ying ying*!"
"I hid it from the main system and opened an interstellar channel for you. If you come over, you can see me!"
"I have a body now! Host, do you see that channel?"
"Oh, right, you might call it a black hole... Anyway, no matter how you describe it, as long as you pass through that dark opening, you can travel through this interstellar channel to my side."
"This world is very complicated, Host. I need to explain it to you properly..."
The little system's voice was soft and lingering, but Lin Muci could clearly detect its excitement and elation.
Lin Muci also felt at ease.
With the little system present, she was sure to be invincible in this world.
Furthermore, she could finally start dealing with Ling Qianhe.
So why hesitate? Time to run immediately!
