If the Insect Race disaster is truly unavoidable, she must carefully consider ways to deal with it. Otherwise, if the Insect Race rampages and she lacks the strength to resist, wouldn’t her death be unjust? Su Jiameng’s silence made Gu Ningzhi a bit uneasy.

"Six or seven years... should be sufficient. Remember to stay in touch privately. If anything happens, be sure to notify me. Oh, before you leave, come find me once. I have something to give you. Keep it safe, it’ll be of great use!"

The thing Su Jiameng referred to was naturally the Golden Dragon Jade Phoenix Pendant given by the teaching system. With this ultimate weapon, she could instantly appear beside Gu Ningzhi. If the Insect Race truly appeared... heh, she wouldn’t hold back.

Exploration after all takes time. During these years, her strength could recover to at least sixty or seventy percent of its peak! Even if she encountered high-level Insect Race, she wouldn’t be afraid. Even if she couldn’t beat them, she’d have no problem retreating whole!

Gu Ningzhi nodded. This matter had been mentioned by Su Jiameng when signing the so-called contract in the hospital. As for what she wanted him to take with him, he would naturally find out in due time, there was no need to be curious.

"Regarding the second matter you mentioned back then, I’ve had my people investigate it for you. Later I’ll give you a way to contact the person in charge. If there’s anything, you can ask them." Gu Ningxuan said calmly, continuing to stuff his mouth with what seemed to be obsidian-black chocolate cake, "You also promised me one thing, don’t act against those people before I return..."

Even someone as elusive as Susu couldn’t be investigated, so Gu Ningzhi didn’t think they were easy to deal with. Not worried that Su Jiameng couldn’t handle them, just afraid she’d make a big mess, even something utterly uncontrollable.

After all, his little brother was still staying at her house, so the less trouble the better... it was much safer this way.

In fact, Gu Ningzhi still didn’t know who those nine people were, but in his heart, he’d already labeled them as "huge trouble." Years later this premonition proved accurate, and Young Master Gu Er was completely speechless... Susu, a real troublemaker!

"I’m well aware of this. I won’t act until I’m confident!" Of course, if Su Jiameng regained her former life’s strength before Gu Ningzhi returned, there’d be no need to hold back, she’d assassinate them one by one!

Receiving this assurance, Gu Ningzhi felt much more at ease, as if a huge burden was lifted. Seeing that Su Jiameng hadn’t touched her breakfast at all, he couldn’t help but urge, "These are Augustus’ specialties, you should eat some, otherwise you’d be losing out."

Anyway, since he was treating, it all went on his tab, so the kindhearted Susu really had no need to be frugal...

With an indescribable attitude, Gu Ningzhi watched expectantly as Su Jiameng shyly smiled and stuffed something resembling cake into her mouth, then... poof! Gu Ningzhi instantly laughed so hard he cried...

The sight of Young Master Gu Er being sprayed in the face with "cake cream" by the girl Susu successfully caught the attention of nearby diners. The scene was simply indescribable. Some diners thought it over and immediately understood, their faces full of awkward smiles, causing Gu Ningzhi internal frustration.

The Augustus Star System, among the Top Ten Star Systems of the Human Alliance, has the largest border area with Outer Star Systems and is the most culturally vibrant place. Of course... it’s also a sinful land in the eyes of many foodies, as soon as Augustus specialties are mentioned, one might feel the urge to gag!

The dark cuisine here is something no normal person’s taste buds can handle. However, many extraterrestrial beings’ taste buds clearly aren’t in the "normal" category. The darker the cuisine, the more they enjoy it! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Many human foodies don’t believe in the reputation of dark cuisine and come here seeking abuse, only for their taste buds to suffer severe damage. Some folks, for pranks, directly use Augustus’ dark cuisine... sigh, but to cater to the vast human business, dark cuisine has been greatly improved. But for those who don’t know how to eat it, the results can be seen with Xiao Meng.

"Damn! I don’t have a grudge against you, do I?" Su Jiameng finally suppressed the strange taste in her mouth, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Gu Ningzhi, only to see him teasing her with no remorse.

"Susu, in this appearance, you truly look like Tu Su from ’Ancient Sword Legend’ possessed by evil energy—"

Before Gu Ningzhi could finish teasing, Su Jiameng directly grabbed something beside her and threw it at him, her moves explosive and wicked, without a trace of a queenly aura, rather quite sinister! A nearby diner slightly frowned, drew a thumb-sized sphere from his bosom, which flashed, and a towering metallic shield appeared, blocking him from being affected by Su Jiameng.

"To hell with your evil possession, if you dare utter another word, I’ll let you see what it’s like to be ’possessed by stupidity’!" Su Jiameng’s mouth still stained with "cream," looking much like black blood, as she erupted in anger, speaking with her mouth full of blackness...

Saying that, Su Jiameng got even more furious, used her telekinesis to restrain him, and gave Gu Ningzhi a good thrashing with all her might, punch after punch! The sounds of bone breaking made the surrounding diners shudder...

"If you don’t stop her, there’ll be a murder..." The girl gave a light smile, the blue patterns in her eyes dazzlingly eerie.

"That guy getting beaten shows no intention of resisting. It looks just like a lovers’ squabble. Why would you intervene? Looking for trouble?" Sitting opposite the boy was a slightly older youth, the same blue patterns in his eyes, a red mark between his brows.

This youth was the strange diner who summoned the shield earlier.

Gu Ningzhi: "..." Damn it, none of you noticed my unwilling expression, are you blind? (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
