In an unpopulated system far away from the Capital Star, a dark red starship swayed like a drunkard towards the nearest space hub.
About half of the star pirate logo on the starship had already fallen off, leaving only the half-smiling face of the starship’s owner, Horst, hanging there shakily.
No one could have imagined that this poor-looking starship, which looked like it had been violently ravaged by an ignorant child, was the famous Red Rose, the main ship of the Horst Star Pirates, which had robbed even royal nobles.
More unexpectedly, the cause of this tragic situation of the Red Rose was not a merchant fleet, nor was it a group of intergalactic police, but just a thin-looking young man.
Inside this sad-looking starship, many star pirates gathered in a group. They all blocked the corridor and stretched their necks to look into a room, each with a mixture of longing, curiosity, and a hint of suppressed fear in their eyes.
In the room they were watching closely, the young man who had pulled the entire Red Rose down from mid-air and nearly smashed their cockpit window with a single punch had washed off the blood from his body and was clean again.
He was wearing a silk shirt, and his cumbersome bow tie was meticulously arranged, displaying sophistication and nobility in every way.
This young man now occupies the most honored position in the starship and is using his hands, which look slender but contain endless power, to gently hold the silver knife and fork, and is slowly eating his meal.
Horst, the leader of the star pirates two hours ago, is now with the other star pirates, pitifully gathered around the door, watching the young man sitting in the seat that originally belonged to him.
“Boss……just, letting him sit there?” Little star pirate Yi Rui carefully tugged Horst’s sleeve. Now, Horst’s face is ugly as can be. Although the beard that almost covers his entire face still hangs on his face, this beard is already messy and shows plainly the master’s current state of mind.
Horst glanced at Yi Rui and let out a low curse: “Do you think I want to?”
He swept his eyes with a warning behind him, “I tell you, don’t piss him off, or there will be no more Horst Star Pirates.”
Some people had a secret disdain, thinking that Horst had overreacted. The Red Rose had inexplicably smashed down earlier, and it wasn’t necessarily this youth’s fault. Their always arrogant Captain Horst had brought someone into the starship without even a fight and had given up his position as the boss.
This was hard for the star pirates, who had always been arrogant in the stars, to accept.
Horst glanced at them and saw their dark resentful eyes. He did not explain but merely raised his chin in the direction of the young man: “See the food in his dinner plate? Do you know what that is?”
The star pirates looked over with wide eyes, and the star pirate Yi Rui, who had been following Horst, immediately shouted after seeing the meat in the dinner plate, “Boss! Isn’t this the 3S-grade beast you bought at a high price before? You even let this one out!”
Hearing that, a trace of pain flashed across Horst’s face. He was furious and slapped on Yi Rui’s head: “Move your brains and think about it! That is a 3S-grade beast meat. People with A-level physique will die if they eat one bite. I only dare to eat a small piece every day, but look at that person, look at him!”
Horst’s finger trembled and pointed to the table. The young man, whose every move was elegant and noble, showed impeccable etiquette.
The star pirates followed his finger and looked over. The youth ate the fierce beast meat on his plate as if it were an ordinary steak, with no reaction at all.
Horst thought deeply. He could not figure out the youth’s ability, so he could only pretend to respectfully bring the person in and take out his own treasured 3S-grade ferocious beast meat to entertain the other party. He thought well, if this young man is a straw man, he certainly will not dare to eat this thing. Eating will cause his body to explode. If this person dares to eat, then Horst will have to weigh things up.
But Horst never thought that this person could eat so calmly, as if this piece of fierce beast meat containing tyrannical energy was no different from ordinary meat to him.
And Horst also thought of the situation when the starship fell just now. That kind of raging energy is more terrible than the ordinary energy riot. However, what is even more frightening is that this energy, although terrifying, was precisely controlled and only pulled the Red Rose down. At the same time, the interior of the starship was completely undamaged and did not affect driving.
Recalling the young man’s light-hearted “take me for a ride”, Horst shivered and looked at the noble and indifferent young man in the room as if he was looking at a madman.
After all, he had never heard of a whole starship being pulled down hard from mid-air just because they wanted to hitch a ride.
This young man is indeed Qing Yun. He seems to be concentrating on eating, but he is actually communicating with the rules of this world in his mind.
After Qing Yun pierced through that barrier earlier, he came to another space. This space was different from the place he was in before because there was only one huge world here, which was clearly the result of various worlds merging with each other.
Qing Yun detected the man’s breath in this world, and although it was extremely faint and could have been almost ignored, Qing Yun still had to come and check it out.
After he came to this world, he happened to come across a corpse that had just passed away not long ago, so he occupied this body.
But this body he was occupying now was significantly different from the one he had crossed before, and Qing Yun felt a disconnection between his soul and this body almost as soon as he entered it.
At the same time, the rules of this world were rejecting him.
However, since the crystal nucleus was formed in his soul, Qing Yun found that he was able to communicate with the rules, but the rules of this world were extremely chaotic. The communication with him was intermittent, and he could only detect the repulsion of the rules.
At this moment, the rules once again tried to repel this powerful soul that had suddenly intruded into his jurisdiction: “Foreign enforcer, why are you intruding into this world?”
Qing Yun’s hand movements remained unchanged, and he simply said in his mind, “I came to find someone.”
“Whatever the reason, you do not have the right……to step into another space……”
The words of the rules began to break off again, and the expulsion power of this body on Qing Yun also started to strengthen. A stern light flashed in Qing Yun’s eyes, and the golden crystal nucleus in his soul immediately drew out a trace of energy and ruthlessly struck away the rules that wrapped around him: “Either get lost or die!”
The rules fled in distress and could only let out a faint sigh before going into hiding, apparently acquiescing to this powerful intruder.
Qing Yun put away the tyranny in his eyes and took the time to eat. The rules of this world are too confusing. He tried to ask what the “enforcer” meant, but he didn’t get anything.
Besides, Qing Yun has been in a bad mood for a while, so naturally, he can’t tolerate the rules driving him away from time to time.
After eating the last piece of meat on the plate, Qing Yun took the spoon and gently knocked it on the tall glass on the table.
Seeing this, Horst covered his face with a silent wail. He waved his hand and let Yi Rui present the last piece of fierce beast meat as well.
Now, all the star pirates looking at that young man seemed like they were looking at a Star beast. This young man almost ate half of a 3S-grade ferocious beast at this moment. Besides a Star beast, who else would be able to do it?
But Yi Rui, who presented the food on a plate, sighed and then banished the unrealistic thoughts from his mind. There is only one Star beast in this world, and that is the emperor of the Valanst Empire.
Qing Yun was quite satisfied with the hospitality of the star pirates. This body had just died and was weak, so he needed a lot of energy to repair it. His soul was not 100% compatible with his body, so he had to use outside energy.
The fierce beast meat presented by the star pirates is rough, but it is still useful.
Of course, if Horst knew that Qing Yun’s evaluation of this valuable 3S-grade beast meat was “rough”, he would have been unable to resist finding a piece of tofu and hitting himself to death.
Yi Rui warily presented the dinner plate when he noticed that the good-looking but intimidating youth glanced at the companion beast on his shoulder. He immediately became frightened and hugged the owl on his shoulder into his arms.
“No, no, sir, Lily is a very thin companion beast. She doesn’t taste good!” Yi Rui had heard before that someone would be heartless to use the companion beast as food, and now seeing this youth who had eaten half of a 3S ferocious beast, he was naturally scared beyond belief.
""
“Companion beast?” Qing Yun raised an eyebrow and asked this little star pirate. He could not fully fit with this body, so naturally, he could not get the memory of this body. Now, he knew nothing about this strange world, but the man’s breath was still faint as it could be. Qing Yun was unable to use it to find exactly where the man had left his breath, so he had to stay in this world for a while before he could.
Horst and the others at the door also heard what Qing Yun asked. They almost immediately found a sense of dissonance in this youth, something that frightened them.
This powerful young man had no companion beast around him?
You should know that no matter how strong the physique is, only when you find your companion beast can you fully stimulate your abilities. If they are not around, then the power will be greatly reduced!
Horst was now looking at the youth, and his eyes practically glared out. Just then, a star pirate ran over in a panic holding two pieces of torn clothes: “Boss, look what I found!”
This star pirate ran over and pulled the blood-stained shirt to reveal the shiny emblem on the front of the shirt.
A silver feather was tightly wrapped in chains on this emblem. At a glance, it was clear that this was the family emblem of the First Prosecutor of the Empire, Villef Gled.
Since the beginning of the empire, the Gled family has followed the emperor of Valanst in his conquests and has produced three generations of chief prosecutors. At present, the Gled family can be considered one of the most prestigious families on the Capital Star. Even if one does not specialize in heraldry, they can easily recognize the family’s emblem.
Another star pirate around Horst saw this and scratched his head, “This man has no companion beast around him and wears clothes with the Gled family emblem. Could it be that he is the disabled son of Villef who has no companion beast?”
After saying that, he himself laughed dryly as if he had heard a cold joke. The rest of the star pirates also gave him a blank look. The reputation of that disabled son of Villef had spread almost throughout Valanst. Everyone knew that the second young master of the Gled family was just a straw man, which could be called the biggest stain in the chief prosecutor’s life.
The young man inside who could easily pull down their starship without any tools, and doesn’t even have a companion beast, is the most famous waste of the empire?
Don’t be ridiculous!
Horst touched the emblem on the shirt and said in a deep voice: “It is possible that he is a strong member of the Gled family but lost his companion beast in the battle.”
After saying that, Horst himself choked for a moment. People who lost their companion beasts basically also lost their fighting ability, which does not explain the youth’s strength at all.
“There is only one explanation for this man being so strong without a companion beast……” the star pirates had begun to gather and whisper.
“That is, he is His Majesty, who has not appeared in the last hundred years. Because only His Majesty has no companion beast around him, but he is still the most powerful person in this world.”
Upon hearing this, a star pirate immediately laughed: “That’s because His Majesty is a fierce beast himself!”
“Okay!” Horst reprimanded the rowdy group of men with a sullen face, “No matter who he is, drop him off when we get to the space hub.”
Horst definitely would not allow anyone to take away his position in the star pirates. His small eyes under his thick red eyebrows stared closely at the youth who was asking questions to Yi Rui.
The man’s words just reminded him that no matter how powerful this person is, as long as the companion beast is not around, he is flawed. The station master of the next space hub station is friendly with him, and every space hub has a garrison.
Of course, Horst didn’t want to kill the young man. He just wanted to get his star pirate group back. Because star pirates are the most rampant and unorganized group, they have always respected the strongest. Horst dares to say that if the young man stays in the Red Rose again, this group of youngsters will be subservient to him in less than two days.
At the same time, the station master of the space hub, whom Horst was hanging on to, was facing an inquiry from his most upright subordinate.
“Station Master, yesterday afternoon at two o’clock, there was a single black craft that passed by the hub station. Why didn’t you record it?”
“Dear, that was just my private craft. It didn’t go through the hub but simply docked at my residence……”
It took the station master a long time to dispel his subordinate’s doubts, and he leaned back in his chair thinking about Mrs. Gled’s promise. Maybe in a short while, he would be able to leave this damn hub station.
“Poor Second Young Master.” Thinking of the youth who was thrown to the garbage star, the station master made a fake prayer gesture.
As everyone knows, His Majesty of Valanst has been in a coma for a hundred years. The people have tried their best to wake him up. Since His Majesty’s body was a Star beast, it occurred to someone that perhaps helping His Majesty find a contract person would wake him up.
Every three years, the empire would select a human who was equally outstanding in spirit and body to try to establish a contract with His Majesty, but all were unsuccessful. Now, this has become a triennial tradition. Although the hope of awakening His Majesty is slim, the chosen ones are still given various honors.
This year, the whole empire is looking for a companion for His Majesty, who is sleeping. However, this time, the Minister of the Interior skipped the human beings who are outstanding in all aspects and focused on the ones who have been without a companion beast. The third young master of the Gled family, who is still a minor, did not hesitate to strangle his own companion beast. How could Mrs. Gled let the second young master, who was born to Mr. Gled’s ex-wife, take away this honor?
