Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Little Butterfly

Jiang Zheyu felt the blood in her palm grow sticky.

The next second, a Purple Gold Butterfly Stab knocked his hand away.

Another Butterfly Stab viciously plunged into the knee that had just been shot through by a gun.

Si Yu couldn’t stop himself from dropping to one knee. His Spiritual Domain wavered, and the world before his eyes grew fantastical and distorted. He realized the Butterfly Stab was tipped with poison.

His silver hair was stained with blood and the shimmering, purple-gold toxic powder from the butterfly.

His pair of dark green eyes went completely blank...

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Zheyu’s heart ached for him.

’Si Yu may have wronged everyone else, but it seems he has never wronged me.’

The butterfly didn’t linger in the fight. It grabbed Jiang Zheyu and fled.

The butterfly with steel-like wings carried her as it burst out.

Jiang Zheyu discovered that all the systems in this high-security prison had been destroyed, and all the beasts had broken free.

The Purple Gold Butterfly carried her and rushed into the prison cell from before. Jiang Zheyu had originally thought this Purple Gold Butterfly was the youth she had just purified, but now she saw the youth was still in the cell, the pair of wings on his back not yet retracted.

’Then who is this Purple Gold Butterfly holding me now?’

This Purple Gold Butterfly quickly snatched the youth out of the cell, and just like that, it charged out carrying two people.

’This butterfly must have come to rescue the youth. But if it came to rescue him, then just rescue him. Why was I the first one it saved?’

’Perhaps it wasn’t to save me, but to injure Si Yu?’

For a moment, Jiang Zheyu felt like her brain couldn’t keep up.

The butterfly charged out and flew directly toward the Starship hovering above the top floor. Below, Beastmen holding laser guns all started firing in their direction.

What Jiang Zheyu was thinking at that moment was, ’Can butterflies fly this high?’

’Is this Butterfly Beastman different from the rest? How can it fly so high and so fast?’

Jiang Zheyu recalled the Butterfly Beastman’s thin, steel-like wings. Perhaps it really could fly this high.

But in the next second, Jiang Zheyu was no longer in the mood to think about such things. A Laser Cannon blast was coming right for them!

’Are we going to be blown to bits in the sky?’

In the nick of time, the butterfly threw them directly toward the Starship’s hatch, flinging them right inside. Jiang Zheyu slammed onto the Starship’s cold floor, rolling a few times before stopping. Ignoring everything else, she propped herself up and quickly turned her head to look at the Purple Gold Butterfly outside.

It had just reached the Starship’s hatch. With no time to spare, it unfurled its massive wings, like a pair of beautiful purple-gold fans, to block all the Laser Cannons. The laser fire shattered, pierced, and scorched its wings.

The Purple Gold Butterfly transformed into a little boy and crashed inside. Its wings shrank back, becoming two small, injured butterfly wings, each no bigger than a palm.

The Starship’s hatch slammed shut in that same instant.

The auto-piloted Starship pierced through the clouds and flew into interstellar space.

The Starships on the island immediately gave chase.

"Xiao Xuan!" Yin Si had also woken up. His butterfly wings still throbbed with pain and couldn’t be retracted. He rushed over, scooped the little boy off the floor, and placed him on the sofa.

A small robot approached, carrying a medical kit.

Yin Si was clearly very familiar with this Starship. He quickly took the kit and began treating the little boy’s wounds.

Jiang Zheyu was astonished. That enormous butterfly was actually that little boy.

’Then again, the beast forms of Beastmen all seem to be quite large, and they can control their size.’

Jiang Zheyu quietly picked herself up from the floor. She sat cross-legged right there. ’So, what am I supposed to do now?’

’Did the little boy save me, or was it just to hurt Si Yu?’

’But in my current Male Beastman identity, I don’t even know the little boy.’

’Even in my identity as the female Jiang Zheyu, the little boy couldn’t possibly have a good impression of me, a former accomplice, right?’

’So why did the little boy grab me? Could it be to threaten Si Yu?’

Jiang Zheyu stopped thinking about it. She would just ask the little boy later and find out.

The effects of her potion were about to wear off.

Jiang Zheyu didn’t plan on taking the potion again. She was going to return to her original body.

She figured that since she had, in a way, helped purify Yin Si, he wouldn’t just off her to settle the score, would he?

’If he really tries to off me, I’ll just bring up my former identity as that mysterious person.’

’In that identity, I did save them once, after all.’

With that thought, Jiang Zheyu brazenly changed back to her original form.

Just as she transformed, Yin Si finished treating the little boy’s wounds and happened to turn his head to look over.

"Why is it you?" Yin Si’s brow furrowed deeply.

Jiang Zheyu offered a faint smile. "Yep, yep, it’s me."

Although she was smiling, she was still a little uncertain on the inside.

Yin Si’s brows were knitted so tightly together they looked like they could crush a mosquito.

Fortunately, however, Yin Si seemed to know that the recovery of his spiritual power and the lowering of his Beastification Value were likely related to Jiang Zheyu, so he only frowned deeply and said nothing more.

Jiang Zheyu felt a little chilly sitting on the floor, so she stood up, wanting to find an empty sofa to sit on.

Yin Si’s sharp, glacial gaze shot her way again.

Jiang Zheyu paused. Now it was awkward to go sit, but it was also awkward to just stand there.

"Where are we going now?" Jiang Zheyu offered what she hoped was a friendly smile. "Can you drop me off back at the Empire?"

Yin Si’s lips pressed into a thin line. He had already faintly guessed that the mysterious person was the female before him—an accomplice female who had harmed their family.

But that didn’t matter anymore. He had already killed the main culprit.

Just as Jiang Zheyu thought he wasn’t going to answer her, he spoke.

"Starship One, where are we headed now?" Yin Si asked. He had been in the prison for too long, to the point of almost undergoing Beastification. This Starship was meant for Xiao Xuan’s escape, yet this little guy had actually dared to come and rescue him.

What he found even more unbelievable was that the little guy had actually managed to break him out of prison.

’I don’t know how he did it.’

So, the current course of the Starship had naturally been set by Xiao Xuan.

"The final destination of this route is the Imperial Capital Star," Starship One replied mechanically.

"Why return to the Imperial Capital Star?" Yin Si found himself understanding his younger brother less and less.

He had already killed the female at the Military Tower who had tortured their elder brother to death. They were now fugitives. They couldn’t go back to the Imperial Capital Star.

"Xiao Xuan changed the route at the last minute. Starship One is unable to ascertain Xiao Xuan’s reasoning," Starship One replied rigidly.

Jiang Zheyu was also a little surprised. They were heading back to the Imperial Capital Star!

’Does that mean I can go back and see Su Yan?’

They had been apart for so long. She actually kind of missed him.

The escape route set for the Starship successfully evaded the pursuing Starships, but it would still take some time to reach the Imperial Capital Star.
