Ye Xiaolu had Huo Sangzi slapped silly. Despite a Celestial Fire alien, capable of turning into his own element at will, it was a first getting slapped with his guard up.
“You!”
Huo Sangzi was enraged and threw flames at Ye Xiaolu.
Ye Xiaolu merely punched them. With her Emulsion Spirit Body, dissolving all qis, all she had to do was want it and Huo Sangzi would never turn into his element.
It went without question Huo Sangzi would suffer if Ye Xiaolu punched through the flame. As such, Li Mo came with the perfect counter, squeezing her ass.
An average sized flame burst forth into the restrained Ye Xiaolu, charring her face.
But with Li Mo as protector, he made sure the damage was only skin deep.
“I!”
Li Mo covered her mouth and stopped her from cursing.
They were now on Ancient Planet, the domain of the best merchant in the universe. In a place where not even the ten strong races showed off, it was clear a heavy price had to be paid for any disturbance.
This was the sole reason Li Mo curbed her actions.
It was better to live and let live.
“I was careless for a moment, yet you thought of yourself great because of it?”
Huo Sangzi looked smug seeing his strike land.
It never occurred to him how Ye Xiaolu even hit him.
“You… umm.”
Ye Xiaolu was gonna spat curses, but Li Mo’s devious hand worked its magic on her butt, making her stomp in anger.
“Puny human, your fate is to be a Celestial Fire race’s slave. Thank your luck this is Ancient Planet. If you were on Celestial Fire Planet, your transgression would’ve earned you death.”
Huo Sangzi was cocky to extreme, yet his friend looked calm, with a flat face.
Li Mo dragged Ye Xiaolu away.
“What are you doing stopping me?”
“How could I not? This is Ancient Planet, making a scene here will have all three of us suffer.”
“Tch, what’s so great about a Gnoll leading a planet?”
“No one knows Gu Yiming’s strength. But one thing we do know, no matter how weak or strong he is, it does not represent Ancient Planet’s power level.”
“See there?”
Li Mo pointed at the two blue crystal guards at the elevator.
“What race is that?”
“That’s not a race, but Gu Yiming’s crystal soldier he created through science. They are even smarter than an artificial intelligence.
“They can think for themselves and live just like we do. But they are Gu Yiming’s creations.”
“He created life?” Ye Xiaolu cried.
“In a way. These crystal soldiers can’t die. They are made of elemental crystals. So even if you blow them to dust, they could reform in seconds.”
“Undying?” Ye Xiaolu jerked in fright.
“What do you think? Why else would the ten strong races acknowledge him? No race dares mess around here because of these undying crystal soldiers.
“If I hadn’t stopped you from nailing Huo Sangzi, this place would be on lockdown and the crystal soldiers from all over Ancient Planet would hunt you down. Not to mention with your strength you can only barely defeat one.
“You tell me if stopping you was the right choice.”
“Of course you weren’t wrong, but how can I take it lying down? That fireman is obnoxious, he actually wanted to buy me for the night. For two damn hundred thousand? Back on Earth, there were people willing to pay two hundred million, yet I still refused.”
Ye Xiaolu raved and squeezed the black tiger cub to her chest until he yowled.
“Woman, you dare treat the future black tiger emperor so?”
The cub was quite fierce, yet never once did anything to Ye Xiaolu.
Li Mo picked on Ye Xiaolu, so she picked on the cub instead. But the cub never ever picked on Li Mo. This was their constant drama.
Li Mo got his room card and went to the elevator. The two crystal soldiers glanced at him, then stepped aside.
“Wretched human woman, if not this being Ancient Planet, I would’ve turned you into my #1001 slave!”
Huo Sangzi and his pal got to their room and started venting.
“Didn’t you find anything odd about what just happened?”
His silent friend asked.
“What odd?”
“Yan Fei, did you notice something? Speak!”
Yan Fei punched, catching Huo Sangzi off guard.
Pff…
Yan Fei’s punch exploded on Huo Sangzi’s face, but the latter turned into fire on contact.
“What the hell?” Huo Sangzi shrieked.
Yan Fei withdrew.
“Still can’t see it? We, Celestial Fire people, can turn into fire at instinct, even in danger.”
“Yet you didn’t find it odd how that human woman could slap you?”
Huo Sangzi started.
“That woman is no pushover. I reckon, she is that type the elders told us about. The natural constitution that can restrain our Celestial Fire race’s trait.”
Huo Sangzi was in denial, “Isn’t it all just a myth? How can it be real…”
“If not that, how do you explain what happened?”
“I… was just careless.”
“No. Even if we let our guards down, we’d turn into flames at any attack. Huo Sangzi, you have the Huo royal blood flowing through you so you should know far more about turning into fire than I do.”
Huo Sangzi frowned.
“Yan Fei, you may be right!”
“No wonder I felt odd all this time. It’s that woman!”
“Yeah, even when I scorched her, she didn’t even have her hair burnt.
“This isn’t normal. Not normal at all!
“That mythical constitution is out! Damn, I need to report this to my uncle, God Huo, at once!”
Huo Sangzi took out a communication crystal.
