143: Chapter 143 Fluorescent Family

Actually, you felt that what Mu Xue said to you that day was meant as a joke.

But she actually ran to the Beast Race frontline to confess to Liu Ziyi.

Explode, this world!

Before Mu Xue did this, you thought she was just trying to get your attention, and that Liu Ziyi was just a cover. Now it seems the clown was actually me.

Of course, Liu Ziyi was startled and rejected Mu Xue's confession.

"Did Young Miss Mu Xue suffer some kind of shock?" Liu Ziyi said to you over the psionic communication.

"You don't need to worry about her. There haven't been any obstacles regarding the Fluorescent Clan, have there?" You sighed.

Mu Xue was mainly responsible for the battle between the Federal Army and the Giant Rock Race, and after you ordered the withdrawal of the warships from the Giant Rock Race side, Mu Xue became idle.

Now it seems, people really shouldn't be idle.

Once idle, all sorts of strange things happen.

"Rest assured, please trust me and Your Excellency Chen Qing," Liu Ziyi said with a smile.

Seeing her smile, you felt all your exhaustion being cured. Unfortunately, she is not by your side now, and you have no way to hold her.

You want to bury your head in her embrace right now and absorb energy. Let's do that when she comes back, you thought to yourself.

"I feel like you, Prisoner 7, are just acting out of lust," Lin Heng, who was watching this content from the outside, remarked with a complaint.

"In a while, I will arrange for Mu Xue to handle matters on the Third Front and transfer her away from there, but it will require coordination with the current commander of the Third Front, which will take some time," you said, looking at the report in your hand.

"Mhmm," Liu Ziyi said, "I need to handle things with Your Excellency Chen Qing here. So, Lin Heng, see you when there is time later. Love you, you know, eternally."

"Alright, I love you too," you said.

The communication cut off.

Liu Ziyi took a deep breath. Beside her, Mu Xue was reading a book, a lollipop in her mouth.

"Young Miss Ziyi, are all conversations between you and Lin Heng this cheesy?" Mu Xue said, not looking up and still reading the book in her hands.

Liu Ziyi looked at her and put on a smile.

"Not really, but we haven't seen each other for a while. He and I should still be in the passionate phase of our relationship. I feel like I miss him. How should I put it? I want to be held by him," Liu Ziyi said, taking the candy from Mu Xue. "Sweet talk is also a way to express love."

Mu Xue raised her head and closed the book. She looked at Liu Ziyi, the candy stick in her mouth moving a few times as she said, "I also hope you can express your love to me."

Liu Ziyi walked over to Mu Xue and patted her head, "Good girl."

She should be a few years older than Mu Xue, maybe three or four years.

Mu Xue was wearing casual clothes, a short skirt on the bottom and a shirt on top.

Usually, when she saw her, Mu Xue was wearing the Federal Army uniform, which gave her a heroic and spirited feeling. After all, she is a marshal of the Federation and the second person in charge of the Human Alliance Party's military, so she always projected an air of keeping strangers at a distance.

But now it seems...

Liu Ziyi stroked Mu Xue's hair, always feeling that the little Mu Xue in front of her felt like a doll; she was truly cute.

She felt like a little sister. As for things like being lovers, Liu Ziyi still felt that Mu Xue was just joking.

Mu Xue sighed as Liu Ziyi patted her head.

"You just took my candy, you have to kiss me in a moment."

Liu Ziyi pinched Mu Xue's fair, tender little face, making her make a funny face. "That candy really is expensive!"

A proud expression appeared on Mu Xue's face. She tilted her head up, but she wasn't as tall as Liu Ziyi, so she was still looking up at her.

"You are not allowed to return it."

Liu Ziyi smiled helplessly, "Your Excellency Chen Qing is already prepared outside. We are going to handle the Fluorescent Clan affairs in a moment. Will you stay here?"

"Young Miss Ziyi, I still have self-awareness; I won't disturb your work." Mu Xue opened the book on her lap and said, "Go ahead and get busy, but just remember that you still owe me a kiss."

"Then behave yourself and stay here, don't run around," Liu Ziyi said.

"Am I a child?" Mu Xue, having her head patted, felt she was being looked down upon.

She was the supreme commander of the Federal Army, how did she get the feeling of being treated like a child here!!!

"Is General Mu Xue still inside?" Chen Qing asked, watching Liu Ziyi come out.

Liu Ziyi sighed, "Yes, didn't the Federation's fleet withdraw from the Giant Rock Race side? She is idle now, and I don't know what kind of trouble she is causing."

"Speaking of which, General Mu Xue always has a childish feeling, doesn't she?" Chen Qing said.

"She is only like this on our side. I heard that in the Federal Army, even general-rank officers don't dare to make eye contact with her," Liu Ziyi said.

Thinking of that scene, Chen Qing couldn't help but smile.

"That is truly unimaginable. If the Federal Army officers saw her like this, they would probably be scared out of their wits."

"No, it seems they know, but they have never been able to believe it," Liu Ziyi said.

"Although I haven't worked in the Federal Army, hearing you say that, I seem to have heard of it too. It seems to be called the Federal Army's strange story of 'Quantum State Marshal Mu Xue'. I didn't understand what it meant before, but now I do," Chen Qing said.

Liu Ziyi smiled helplessly and looked at the sky. The star here is blue, and the blue and red in the sky formed an exceptionally beautiful and strange light.

A warship bearing the flag of the Human Alliance Party grew from small to large in the sky and landed steadily.

"Chief, these people have been brought back!" A Second Lieutenant of the Federal Army walked out and said to Chen Qing.

"Mhmm." Chen Qing nodded and walked into the warship with Liu Ziyi.

Inside the warship were mostly citizens of the Fluorescent Clan.

The Fluorescent Clan looks about the same as the Human Race, only they emit a white fluorescent light from their bodies.

The Federation's war mobilization is to wipe out all alien races, but that doesn't mean that all other clans besides the humans within the Federation must be killed.

For example, these Fluorescent Clan people will also be incorporated into the Human Race and preserved.

The Federation is huge, and the Human Race within it is also diverse; there are yellow-skinned, black-skinned, white-skinned, blue-skinned, red-skinned, and those with cat ears on their heads, etc. All of these are the Human Race.

Exactly what kind of race constitutes the Human Race is not something Chen Qing needs to consider.

"Fellow countrymen of the Fluorescent Clan, no, fellow countrymen of the Human Race!" Chen Qing said, sweeping his gaze over the ragged Fluorescent Clan people present.

Lacking the supply of psionic powder, they looked quite disheveled now. The white light on their skin had dimmed significantly. Some children's light was so weak it could barely illuminate their own faces, huddled in their parents' arms, motionless.

It is said that when the Fluorescent Clan no longer emits light from their bodies, it means they are heading toward death. Now it seems that the tens of thousands of Fluorescent Clan people here are all about to die.

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, these Fluorescent Clan people subconsciously looked up.

"I know you may hate me, because in your eyes, it was the Federation that took everything away." Chen Qing looked at them and said loudly, "But I can tell you now, that is wrong!"

"You only heard from the higher-ups that the Federal Army intervened, but what did you just experience firsthand?"

These people were all civilians of the Fluorescent Clan, preparing to flee from here on civilian ships, but they encountered an attack by a fleet on the way.

Originally, these Fluorescent Clan people thought it was the Human Federation's fleet, but they guessed wrong; it was the Beast Race's fleet.

The Beast Race and the Fluorescent Clan had always been on good terms, and they were also preparing to flee to the Beast Race, so they didn't understand why the Beast Race's fleet would attack them.

In the end, it was actually the Human Federation's fleet that saved them.

"I want to tell you that this is all a conspiracy by the Beast Race. In order to restore their past status as hegemons, they invaded your Fluorescent Clan's territory using the name of the Human Federation. We, the Human Federation, and you, the Fluorescent Clan, are both victims of this!" Chen Qing said loudly, "Compared to those beast-like guys, isn't our Federation more worthy of trust?"

"If it comes from the Origin, those guys are nothing but crude beasts, while we are all the Human Race!"

Chen Qing knew this was a lie; it was all his arrangement. That Beast Race fleet that attacked the Fluorescent Clan was exactly the one besieged by the Federation, and these Fluorescent Clan's escape routes were also arranged by the Federation. They didn't even know that their ships had long been fitted with the Federation's emblem.

What a bunch of idiots. Even the most top-tier combat warships couldn't escape, yet you civilian ships actually escaped the Federation's encirclement. Don't you really feel like there's a problem?

But thinking about it, these guys would probably only explain it by saying they were lucky.

"Look at them." Chen Qing pointed over.

Those were a few soldiers of the Federal Army. At this moment, those soldiers were half-kneeling on the ground, bandaging their wounds, with unspent blue smoke still rising from the burnt holes in their uniforms.

"They were injured in order to save you. So why did they save you?" Chen Qing looked at these Fluorescent Clan people and said, "Because we are all humans!"

This was a lie. These soldiers' injuries were deliberately caused for these guys to see. If it were normal times, he might worry that someone inside would see the flaws, but now these guys could barely stand up, let alone think about the authenticity of these soldiers' injuries.

Some Fluorescent Clan people, hearing Chen Qing's words, had already started to shed tears.

Chen Qing waved his hand, and some soldiers delivered spirit buns to these Fluorescent Clan people.

"Eat up, but I hope that after you finish eating, you can think carefully about who is really our enemy and who is really our friend!" Chen Qing said.

More soldiers came and took these Fluorescent Clan people away in groups of ten to rest.

Of course, in name, it was to let them rest well, but in reality, it was to separate them.

Chen Qing glanced at these Fluorescent Clan people who were leaving one after another.

"I hope there are no smart people among them."

If a "smart" Fluorescent Clan person appeared, he would not hesitate to execute that entire group of Fluorescent Clan people.

"How pitiful," Liu Ziyi said lightly, watching them.

"Another batch of Fluorescent Clan people will be coming in a while. Can I leave it to you, Young Miss Ziyi?" Chen Qing said with a smile.

"Of course, Minister!"
