Chapter 73: How Will She Punish Them?
The lion and the tiger were still in a fierce standoff, undercurrents surging as if a battle were about to erupt at any second.
Wanghou Zhanni stepped forward.
“General Asilan, your return from the dead is a blessing for the Imperial Family, for the people, and for the Central Star System. This Palace is very happy, and I believe all the citizens are also singing and dancing to celebrate your return. On this joyous day, could I ask you to do me a favor and not resort to violence? Especially toward Yin’er—if he has any faults, I will take him back to the palace for punishment!”
“And Yin’er…”
She turned her face toward Jun Chengyin. Before she could speak, tears began to flow.
“My son.”
“I have waited nineteen years for you, and finally, this day has come.”
“Mother.”
Jun Chengyin was also moved, pulling her into an embrace.
“Thank you for never giving up on me. I am well now.”
(Mother?)
Su Miantang was slightly shocked.
This beautiful woman was the legendary unique and highest-grade SS Cixing of the Central Star System—the Queen of the Empire? Beastmen really had long lifespans; one couldn’t tell her age at all.
“Yes, yes…”
She nodded repeatedly.
He was well now.
A dream of many years had come true.
His savior was right here.
Wanghou Zhanni wiped away her tears and turned, about to perform a grand court salute toward Su Miantang.
“I do not know my benefactor’s name, but please accept this bow first—”
“No, no!”
Su Miantang quickly helped her up. How could she possibly accept a bow from the Queen of a nation?
“My name is Su Miantang. I am a citizen who just recently registered with the Empire.”
(Just recently registered?)
No wonder she had never felt that such a powerful Cixing existed on the planet.
She was a newcomer.
“Might I be so bold as to ask your Xinxisu grade?”
“Xinxisu grade? I don’t have Xinxisu.”
Su Miantang scratched her head. Wanghou Zhanni smiled, thinking she was joking. “How is that possible? If you didn’t have Xinxisu, how could you be so beautiful? How could you have saved Yin’er, stopped his battle with the General, and released such a large-scale Xinxiti?”
Asilan and Jun Chengyin were also confused.
She clearly had Xinxisu—and lots of it. So much it was almost overflowing. Why did she say she had none?
Could it be… she didn’t want to take responsibility?
Asilan hurriedly said, “Susu, you have Xinxisu. You already temporarily marked me, did you forget?”
Jun Chengyin was not to be outdone. “Tangtang, you just fully marked me just now and brought me back from the brink of death.”
He deliberately emphasized the word ‘fully’, provoking a murderous glint back into Asilan’s eyes. If it weren’t for his Master’s prevention, he would have burned him to ash in minutes.
For now, he only used his eyes to sneer: (Mama’s boy.)
Jun Chengyin shot back: (Robber!)
Hearing them say this, Su Miantang was utterly stunned.
Earlier, when Da Jinmao was about to take his own life, it felt as if a strong and strange hormone had indeed rushed to her head and controlled her mind.
It made her bite the back of his neck.
And then he had returned to human form.
And just now, with a casual wave, the Orchid and the Da Jinmao who were ready to fight had both behaved themselves.
(Did she really have Xinxisu?)
She looked at her hand in bewilderment.
But wasn’t she a human? And…
“I checked my Xinxisu twice before, and both times it showed ‘Unknown’.”
“Unknown?”
Wanghou Zhanni was stunned for a moment, then she realized.
“I see.”
She gave a small smile and comforted her. “Unknown might not mean ‘none’, but rather that the authorization was insufficient.”
“Insufficient authorization?”
“Yes. The upper limit for the Xinxisu detection machines currently in the Empire is set according to the highest-grade Cixing in history—which is mine. But…”
At this point, her tone and gaze couldn’t help but become excited.
“I can feel it. Your grade is higher. You might be the only SSS-grade Cixing in this world, an existence that breaks all records.”
(An SSS-grade Cixing?)
Jun Chengyin was shocked.
Unprecedented.
No wonder even though his gene sequence had been destroyed by experiments and his mind had collapsed, Tangtang could still save him.
The person he loved was indeed the best in the world.
(Is this for real?)
The first thing Su Miantang thought of was: (Can I live for over 800 years now?)
“Miss Su Miantang, would you be willing to follow me to the Shoushen Diantang to test your Xinxisu grade?”
“Is there something different about that place compared to others?”
“There is a natural statue of the Beast God that has been worshipped for over a thousand years. It is a place specifically for testing high-grade Cixing.
Legend has it that the Beast God left three strands of Zhandouli in the statue. One strand represents S-grade, two represent SS-grade, and three represent SSS-grade. The number of strands you can withstand determines your Xinxisu grade.
Back then, I withstood two strands.”
(That sounds amazing!)
Su Miantang became interested. “I’m willing.”
“That’s wonderful!”
In the Zhongyang Xing where females were rare and males were many, Cixing were precious to begin with, let alone an existence whose grade surpassed hers and was about to create a miracle.
Wanghou Zhanni happily took her hand, treasuring her even more than her own daughter.
“Tangtang, come with me onto the flight craft. I’ll teach you some methods to activate Xinxisu.”
“Alright.”
Just as Su Miantang was about to step onto the flight craft, she heard a sound. She turned around immediately and saw the Shangjiang and the Huangtaizi who were at each other’s throats the moment they left her sight.
“You… you! You two!”
She spread her hands and made a threatening, slow choking gesture.
“If you dare fight again, watch out—I’ll activate my Xinxisu and punish you severely.”
She hadn’t felt much when she didn’t have Xinxisu, but now that she had it, it was quite fun.
She could subdue these guys with their terrifying combat power.
The two stopped instantly.
It wasn’t that they were intimidated by her threat, but rather, imagining that scene…
Their Adam’s apples bobbed.
How was she going to ‘punish’ them with Xinxisu?
A pair of azure blue double pupils and a pair of fiery red eyes flickered. Not only was there no trace of fear, but there was a hint of anticipation.
It seemed this fight was absolutely necessary.
Wanghou Zhanni looked at the two men who had behaved themselves after a single fierce word. She couldn’t help but laugh.
It made sense for Yin’er; though he had become cold and hot-tempered after years of torture, he was still gentle and peaceful at heart.
But General Asilan was famous for his erratic and unruly temperament. He was a living Asura on the battlefield who killed without blinking and had never submitted to anyone. To think he would be so subservient to Tangtang was truly surprising.
Perhaps this was the charm of an SSS-grade Cixing.
The four of them soon arrived at the high-grade Xinxisu detection center—the Shoushen Diantang.
Wanghou Zhanni ordered her staff to prepare the ceremony.
Su Miantang saw a flying warship land at the entrance, bearing an Eagle-Wolf insignia.
It was Fred and Enzuo!
She ran over happily. The brothers stepped down, and the moment they saw the little Cixing they had missed so much for so many days, they rushed forward and pulled her into a tight embrace.
“Tangtang, I missed you so much!”
“Tangtang, I missed you too. I missed you so, so much…”
