190: Lure and coercion, poor Babata!
Ten thousand meters in the sky, a silver-white stream of light cut through the air, heading east.
On the way back to Kyoto Base City, Chen Fan was in a great mood.
After all, with a spaceship and three silver guards with decent defensive capabilities, he now had the ability to travel deep into space.
However, even so, he still didn't have the ability to trade with cosmic humans.
The reason was simple: Chen Fan had no money!
Left with no choice, Chen Fan could only turn to Liu Qiyue for help.
"Qi Yue, I want to ask you a question: how does one acquire the wealth and resources needed for space travel? I'm truly too poor right now!"
When it came to wealth, Chen Fan's eyes gleamed, completely fixated on money.
It wasn't that Chen Fan hadn't planned ahead, but once he embarked on a journey through the stars, the wealth he needed wouldn't be Earth coins, but the universal currencies of the cosmos—Silverblue Coins, black dragon coins, qianwu coins...
"I don't have any wealth to give you here."
Liu Qiyue looked at Chen Fan and shook her head.
"I am but a soul body; to have retained my memories until now is already thanks to the power of the moon of destiny. I have nothing else!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone.
"But don't be too quick to despair. There are two other places where you can find the wealth you need."
Seeing Chen Fan's crestfallen expression, Liu Qiyue smiled, then spoke mysteriously.
Hearing this, Chen Fan immediately craned his neck: "Where are these two places?"
"First, the Blade Hell Space, which is what you call the Blade Hell Corridor."
"Oh..." Chen Fan's face showed a look of sudden realization.
Then, Liu Qiyue continued;
"The second place is the Dragon Mausoleum Ruins on your Earth. That was also left by a Universe Overlord no less powerful than Blood Blade."
A relic left by a Universe Overlord no less powerful than Blood Blade Venerable!?
Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart suddenly quickened by several beats.
It seemed the Dragon Mausoleum Ruins had a profound background.
No wonder it was called Relic Number Zero!
Chen Fan understood, and at the same time, his sense of Earth's mystery deepened.
"So, are we going to the Dragon Mausoleum Ruins now?"
In front of the smart fighter's control panel, Chen Fan looked impatient.
"No rush. Before we go to the Dragon Mausoleum Ruins, let's go see a little fellow first!"
"Let's see if she's willing to come with us."
Liu Qiyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her smile filled with endless allure.
"She? Which little fellow?" Chen Fan's eyes were full of confusion.
But as the silver fighter slowly turned in the sky and sped north, Chen Fan suddenly realized.
"Could it be Little Devil Babata?"
Chen Fan mused inwardly; the fighter's destination was clearly the Misty Island.
Two hours later, the silver stream of light traveled directly from the Pacific Ocean to Oceania.
Above Misty Island, Chen Fan and Liu Qiyue stood side by side.
"Next, please say what I transmit to you, okay?"
"Mm!" Chen Fan nodded lightly.
Immediately after, Liu Qiyue's lips moved slightly, and sentences echoed in Chen Fan's mind.
So that's how it is!
Listening to Liu Qiyue's plan, Chen Fan's lips curved into a deep smile.
Understood, right!?
With a glance from Liu Qiyue, Chen Fan immediately nodded in understanding.
Buzz buzz buzz!!
White light instantly erupted from the moon of destiny on Chen Fan's right wrist, until it completely enveloped both of them.
The next moment, a sensation of spatial distortion came.
Chen Fan frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed. This time, the distortion wasn't as violent as entering Blade Hell; it was only a faint sensation.
An invisible fluctuation, with the silver spaceship as its core, directly covered the entire Misty Island.
The white light receded, and when Chen Fan and Liu Qiyue reappeared, they were already inside a semicircular, luxurious hall.
Gentle lighting diffused downwards, making Chen Fan feel very comfortable.
This Babata certainly knows how to enjoy himself!
"Little fellow, come out and greet our guests!"
Liu Qiyue said with a smile, then extended her left hand. Her five fair, slender fingers made a grasping motion in the air, and a faint white light erupted from her palm.
The next moment, within the softly glowing hall, strange lights flickered rapidly, converging at Liu Qiyue's palm.
Immediately after, a black virtual figure quickly condensed in her palm, and then she gently held it up.
A small girl wearing a black cloak, with two horn-like protrusions on her forehead and crimson eyes, appeared before Chen Fan.
"This is Babata!?"
Chen Fan looked at the black-cloaked figure held by Liu Qiyue, his eyes scrutinizing the little girl.
"Please, let go of poor Babata!"
Babata was held by Liu Qiyue like a white mouse, looking pitiful.
Even Chen Fan felt a pang of unwillingness.
He just wanted to go up and help Liu Qiyue, to try what it felt like to hold Babata.
"How about you put her down first? We can talk calmly and nicely."
Chen Fan looked at Liu Qiyue and said,
"Holding a little girl like that isn't very appropriate, is it!"
After hearing Chen Fan's first sentence, Babata's gaze towards Chen Fan was filled with grateful joy, as if she had seen her savior.
But Chen Fan's second sentence immediately wiped away all gratitude in Babata's eyes.
She glared fiercely at Chen Fan, flailing her limbs: "I'm very fierce, and I'm not some little girl!!"
"I am the devil... Ba... ba... ta!"
At this moment, Babata, with her furious and menacing demeanor, looked exactly like a raging little lion.
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh.
He knew Liu Qiyue must have her reasons for doing this.
Slap!!
"What devil? When you're in my hands, you'd better be obedient."
A hard flick on Babata's head finally stopped the flailing Little Devil.
"Do you want to find an excellent inheritor for Yun Mo Planet?"
Hearing this, Babata suddenly looked up, her blood-red eyes gleaming with unprecedented brilliance.
He looked at Chen Fan, surprised: "Can it be him?"
Babata looked at Chen Fan, cautiously saying: "Then can I choose him?"
Bang!!
Another crisp sound of a flick echoed, and Babata immediately clutched her head, tears welling up in her blood-red eyes.
"Don't even think about it! A small Undying inheritance like yours doesn't deserve my master!!"
"Oh!" Babata endured the severe pain, nodding desperately.
He dared not resist, only silently enduring.
Because from this mysterious woman, Babata felt an unprecedented terrifying aura.
Poor Babata, after five thousand years of trepidation, today he still fell into the hands of a powerful figure, suffering coercion and enticement...
Sad and indignant feelings gathered like smoke, quickly becoming the last straw that broke Babata's emotional dam.
"Waa... woo..."
"Babata is so pitiful, not bothering anyone, waiting here obediently for an inheritor, but instead two big bad guys came!"
"Woo woo woo..."
Tears, clear as crystals, dripped down.
The Little Devil looked extremely sad.
However, Liu Qiyue's voice did not stop; she continued:
"Babata, do you want your master to be resurrected?"
Babata instantly stopped crying, looking at Liu Qiyue: "Hmm!?"
"Are you serious? Can you really resurrect my master?"
Babata's eyes gleamed as he looked at Liu Qiyue, his face full of eagerness.
"Don't look at me, I don't have that ability, but my master does."
Meeting Babata's gaze, Liu Qiyue looked at Chen Fan, her delicate brows slightly raised.
At this moment, Chen Fan spoke:
"We don't want your Yun Mo Planet Inheritance, nor any resources or wealth left by your master. What we want is you."
"I hope you can help me shape Earth into the way I want it to be, according to my methods."
"All resources and materials will be provided by me; I won't take anything from your Yun Mo Planet."
Chen Fan spoke earnestly, his eyes filled with clear sincerity.
"The most important point!"
Saying this, Chen Fan emphasized his tone, stating:
"We are not in a master-slave relationship, but a cooperative one. In the future, if I achieve great strength, I will help you resurrect your master."
Chen Fan spoke unhurriedly; these were the lines he and Liu Qiyue had discussed via soul-sound.
They wanted to work together to trick Babata into joining them.
After all, although Liu Qiyue's abilities were strong, her condition was too poor, requiring Chen Fan's essence blood to barely exist.
And the existence of an intelligent life would save Chen Fan a lot of trouble.
As for interest in the Yun Mo Planet Inheritance, Chen Fan genuinely felt little interest.
The gap between Universe Overlord Blood Blade Venerable and Undying-level Hu Yanbo was not insignificant.
Held in Liu Qiyue's hand, Babata's blood-red eyes darted around incessantly, as if he was contemplating something.
His gaze dropped, seemingly piercing through the thick hull to see his master in the crystal coffin.
For a moment, Babata was overcome with sorrow.
Two more tears fell.
Seeing this, Liu Qiyue's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
She didn't give Babata so much time for sadness.
After all, Liu Qiyue's temperament was a bit impatient, and she decided to add more fuel to the Little Devil's fire!
"Today, you, Little Devil, will agree whether you want to or not!"
After speaking, Liu Qiyue's whole body emitted a faint white light, identical to that of the moon of destiny.
Immediately after, an aura of world-destroying power, centered on Liu Qiyue, swept in all directions.
A terrifying power that could destroy everything!!
Held in Liu Qiyue's hand, Babata felt it most profoundly, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
Then, Babata's body trembled violently. He could clearly feel how minuscule he and Yun Mo Planet were under this overwhelming pressure.
"How about trying to agree first!" A thought surfaced in the Little Devil's mind, trying hard to persuade Babata.
At the same time, feeling the suddenly erupting aura, Chen Fan was also slightly startled.
He turned his head and saw Liu Qiyue, who looked like a demon god descending.
At this moment, Liu Qiyue hadn't changed much.
It was just that compared to before, her complexion was slightly paler.
Even her figure had faded ever so slightly.
She must have paid a considerable price, too!
Chen Fan mused inwardly, and Babata's terrified voice came through—
"Agree! I wholeheartedly agree to your unequal treaty!!"
"Please let poor Babata go!!"
Under the overwhelming demonic might, the Little Devil roared out.
"Hmm?"
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow: "What unequal treaty are you talking about?"
Babata shivered in fear and quickly corrected himself: "I agree to cooperate with you two, big brother and big sister. I only ask for a chance to live."
At this moment, the Little Devil's tone was as low as it could get.
Hearing this, Chen Fan and Liu Qiyue exchanged glances and said in unison: "No, you must cooperate with us!!"
Left with no choice, Babata could only choose to compromise under the might of Chen Fan and Liu Qiyue... PS:
Gentlemen, voting after reading is a good habit.
Otherwise, the Enchantress Liu Qiyue will come to your dreams and capture you.
