116: Chapter 117: Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Battles Octopus Demon? The Saintess's Avatar Descends!

Klara was trembling with rage, all three of her eyes turning red.

"I came in peace! I brought a dowry!"

She pointed to the crates of precious ore being unloaded from the spaceship behind her (which were actually just a pile of glowing rocks).

"Lord Jiang Chen! If you marry me, Earth will receive technological support from the Star Alliance! We can become interstellar nobility!"

"If you refuse, although my father's weapons are currently locked, once he unlocks them..."

[A threat?]

The red light in Ling's eyes flared instantly.

[Very well.]

[I originally thought that since you came from afar as a guest, I didn't want to be too harsh.]

[But since you want to steal my man and dare to use that loser father of yours, whom I put a 'child lock' on, to pressure me...]

[Then don't blame me for being impolite.]

Ling suddenly raised her hand and issued a command to the base's entire cleaning system.

[Warning! High-risk biological contaminant detected (Klara).]

[Initiating 'Deep Clean' mode!]

[Target: Eliminate!]

"Rumble—"

The next second, a scene that made everyone's jaws drop occurred.

In the corners of the base, the sweeping robots, industrial vacuum cleaners, and even the automatic sprinkler trucks usually used for cleaning suddenly seemed to awaken with self-awareness. Their eyes glowed red as they charged over frantically.

Hundreds of round sweeping robots formed a charging formation, emitting electronic sounds of "Excuse me, excuse me" while slamming hard into Klara's tentacles.

"Sizzle—"

Several industrial-grade high-pressure water guns automatically turned their nozzles and blasted Klara's pride-and-joy "Q-bouncy skin." They weren't filled with water, but with cleaning agents mixed with powerful disinfectant!

"Ah!!!"

Klara let out a miserable scream.

"What... what kind of weapon is this?! Why does it sting my eyes so much?!"

"Let go of my tentacles! That round disc is sucking on my suction cups! Stop it, quickly!"

The scene was chaotic and comical.

A princess of a dignified level three civilization was being chased and rolling on the ground by a group of Earth-made sweeping robots. Her tentacles were caught by vacuum cleaners, her face was distorted by high-pressure water guns, and the noble purple mist she originally had was completely sucked away by several giant exhaust fans.

[Hmph.]

Ling stood in mid-air, arms crossed (though she was just a projection), with a cold expression.

[This is Earth's way of hospitality.]

[Since you are trash, you belong in the trash can.]

[Husband, what do you think?]

Jiang Chen watched this scene. Although he felt it was a bit cruel (mainly for the sweeping robots, as it was too dirty), his survival instinct made him immediately make the right choice.

He cleared his throat and shouted righteously at the disheveled octopus princess:

"Ahem! That... Princess Klara!"

"Look, I can't help it! This is just our Earth's... uh... local custom!"

"The rule here is, if you want to enter, you must first pass the 'first wife' (Ling) test!"

"Clearly, you didn't pass the test! Your... um... hygiene status is not up to standard!"

"You should... please return!"

Klara had been forced to the entrance of her spaceship by several floor scrubbers. Her silver armor was already pitted and corroded, and her originally pink skin was bleached white from being soaked in disinfectant.

"Jiang Chen! You will regret this!"

Klara screamed, her voice filled with tears.

"I'm not marrying you anymore! It's too terrifying! Earth is too terrifying!"

"The appliances here have become sentient! The woman here (referring to Ling) is fiercer than a devil!"

"I want to go home! I want to find my father!"

After saying this, she scrambled into the conch-shaped spaceship, not even bothering to take the crates of dowry (ore), and immediately started the engine, rushing into space as if her butt were on fire.

"Whoosh—"

Watching the spaceship disappear like a star, the whole crowd erupted in cheers.

"We won! We won again!"

"Miss Ling is mighty! The sweeping robots are mighty!"

"Hahaha! That octopus spirit ran faster than a rabbit!"

Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although Ling was jealous, she still had a sense of proportion and didn't use the antimatter cannon, only using some... cleaning supplies.

"Wife, you're still the best."

Jiang Chen leaned over, looking ingratiating.

"Subduing the enemy without fighting. This is what you call the art of war!"

[Stop spouting nonsense.]

Ling rolled her eyes at him. Although her tone remained tsundere, the halo of light behind her had already turned a joyful pink.

[Collect those rocks (dowry) on the ground.]

[Although she was a bit ugly, these crates of 'Star Core Crystals' are not bad, just right for use as energy cores for your mecha.]

[This is called... compensation for emotional distress.]

Jiang Chen was amused.

This wife of his really knows how to manage a household!

She not only drove away the love rival but also got the dowry for free; this move was definitely in the stratosphere!

However.

Just when Jiang Chen thought this hurdle had finally passed and was preparing to go back for a nap.

"Buzz—"

That sound that gave him nightmares rang out from his crotch (inner pocket) again.

Vibration.

Violent vibration.

Even more urgent and intense than the last time!

Jiang Chen's smile froze on his face.

He tremblingly took out that "original wife phone."

On the screen, Ji Linglong's avatar was not only lit up but also glowing red, as if it were overloaded. A voice message played automatically.

The voice was no longer the anxiety from before, but carried a spine-chilling... gentleness.

"Husband~"

"This palace just used the haotian mirror to look in the direction of Earth."

"That... was there just now an eight-legged spirit who wanted to kidnap you to be her bandit husband?"

"And also... that 'glowing woman' who saved you seems very intimate with you?"

"First sending a meteor shower, then carving names."

"Husband, do you think that because this palace can't get over there, I can't manage you?"

The hand holding the phone began to tremble violently.

It's over.

She saw everything.

That "satellite carving" just now, even Ji Linglong in the Taichu Realm saw it!

Before he could think of how to quibble.

Ji Linglong's next sentence directly plunged Jiang Chen into an ice cave.

"But it doesn't matter."

"This palace hasn't been idle these past few days."

"Although my true body cannot get over there, I searched through ancient texts and found a forbidden technique—[Body External Incarnation]."

"Since that so-called level three civilization could send someone over."

"Then this palace's avatar..."

"Just happened to borrow the gap in the tunnel opened by that octopus spirit earlier... and squeezed over."

"Husband, wash your neck... oh no, wash your body clean."

"This palace will be there soon!"

"Clatter."

The phone dropped to the ground.

Jiang Chen looked at the space crack in the sky that hadn't completely closed yet, vaguely sensing a familiar and terrifying sword intent descending upon Earth.

This time.

It wasn't a video call.

It was a true body (avatar) descending!

On one side was the cybernetic AI wife who had just driven away a love rival and was overflowing with possessiveness.

On the other side was the cultivation saintess wife who had burned a forbidden technique to cross realms and catch him cheating.

Jiang Chen glanced at Ling beside him, then glanced at the sky.

He felt that the so-called "level three civilization invasion" crisis, compared to the "shuraba doomsday" before him... was simply child's play.

"Old Lei..."

Jiang Chen grabbed Lei Keming's hand, his eyes filled with hot tears.

"Prepare an air-raid shelter for me."

"The kind that can withstand the dual strikes of a nuclear bomb and a Flying Sword."

"I feel like Earth is about to explode."
