144: Chapter 144 A New Wife

Sohe, overestimating himself, was directly killed by a dark energy ray fired from No. 1 Mothership.

Now, Chen Yu could only turn his attention to Solara; if he were to truly attack that homeland-class spaceship,

and accidentally destroy the Warp Engine along with it, then Chen Yu's goal of interstellar travel would be delayed indefinitely.

Chen Yu squatted beside Solara, lifted her chin, and asked, word by word,

"Solara, no matter what you say, you're still the Vice-Captain. Now that your Captain is dead, you should be able to order the soldiers on your homeland-class spaceship to stop, right?"

Solara's face was filled with terror; she seemed not to have emerged from the fear of Sohe turning into nothingness.

Seeing that Solara was indeed frightened, Chen Yu sighed and continued,

"Solara, I won't kill you; don't be so afraid!"

Chen Yu revealed a gentle smile.

Perhaps sensing the reduction in Chen Yu's killing intent, Solara slowly regained her composure.

"Chen Yu, I will not surrender to you!"

"Are you really not afraid of me killing you and leaving not even dust behind?"

"You… you kill me then. Anyway, if I listen to you, I won't escape the judgment of the Mesolas Star Interstellar Court!"

Chen Yu sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Didn't I say? As long as you submit to me, I can save your life. Your Mesolas Star, a mere civilization not even at Level 3, how could it possibly capture anyone from my hands!"

Chen Yu's confident words astonished Solara!

"You don't even care about a Level 3 civilization; do you come from a higher civilization?"

Chen Yu was currently a Level 3 early-stage interstellar lifeform, so logically speaking, he could be considered a higher life form.

Thus, he played along, following Solara's train of thought, and said,

"Hmm! Something like that. As you just saw, I am a high-level interstellar lifeform. Look at the spaceship above our heads; it's also a product far superior to your planet's spaceships. So now you should believe that I can protect you, right?"

Solara's eyes darted around, seemingly in a dilemma.

Chen Yu struck while the iron was hot, saying,

"Think about it, you've already fallen into my hands; you're going to die either way. If you follow me, I can take you on interstellar voyages and help you become a higher-level interstellar lifeform. Your home planet is just an ordinary planet not even at Level 3 civilization. Compared to the goal I want to achieve in the future, it's like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon. Do you want to be a human from a low-level civilization your whole life, or do you want to become an overlord who controls countless star regions in the future?"

Chen Yu used the motivational tactics of Earth's pyramid schemes, and Solara's eyes actually lit up with a faint glow.

As if she had made a decision, Solara looked up at the determined Chen Yu.

"Okay, I'll help you, but you have to agree to two conditions."

"Oh! Alright, as long as they're not too excessive, you can ask!"

Solara pursed her lips and said,

"The first condition: I'll have them stop attacking, but you must spare the lives of my people!"

Chen Yu patted his chest and guaranteed, "Yes, I have a use for them anyway. What's the second condition?"

Solara's eyes became conflicted, and her expression was very shy. After struggling for a long time, she stammered,

"You… you… you already did that to me just now. I… I am already yours, so… so you must marry me."

Chen Yu scratched his ear, confirming that the voice coming from the translation device in Solara's throat was something he could understand.

"What? I say, Miss aliens, do you know what you're saying? I just pinched your face and ear; does that mean I have to marry you? Do you know that on our Earth, marriage is a big deal!"

Solara's expression became resolute.

"You did that to me, and my ears were rubbed by you, yet you don't want to take responsibility? If that's the case, I'd rather die!"

Chen Yu keenly caught the meaning in Solara's words, so he asked,

"You said your ears were rubbed by me? And you want me to take responsibility? Can you tell me why?"

"Why what? The ears of us Mesolas Star people have tens of millions of neural cells and can communicate deeply with our loved ones on a soul level. You are the first man to rub my ears, so I can only marry you!"

Chen Yu's eyes widened instantly. Damn it, he didn't expect that his momentary impulse

had actually violated the purity of an alien beauty. What a sin, what a sin!

Chen Yu showed an awkward expression. It seemed that in the future, when encountering other aliens, he shouldn't casually touch their body parts.

If he couldn't get out of it, wouldn't he be on the path to having a harem?

Chen Yu asked with an awkward expression,

"Uh, Miss Solara, on your planet, how many women is a man allowed to marry?"

Solara replied without thinking,

"Of course, it's monogamy. When a civilization reaches a certain level, men and women are equal; it's impossible for you men to marry multiple wives!"

Chen Yu almost spat blood. He thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up!

"Uh, Solara, since you want me to marry you, you have to follow our Earth's customs. On Earth, we can have polygamy, so I can marry you, but I can also marry other women from Earth. Do you understand?"
