Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

"Wrong answer. After hundreds of years of settling down, they seem to be awakening. 'The old gods are dead, and new gods should be established.' I heard that this is the internal slogan of the Semitic people."

"A new god? Where did he come from?"

"Wealth and power, these are the only beliefs of the Semites now."

As long as you have absolute wealth and power, everything in the universe will be in your control.

However, for an interstellar mercenary like her, the slogan is not important. What is important is that a war breaks out and she has to find a way to take down the company.

A single railgun blast leveled the company's strategic command center, just as it had done to their planet.

She did not hide the excitement in her eyes at all, "Cowboy, go back and pack up, we have to prepare for the war."

..............................

On the other side, Duan Mingyuan also explained to Xing why the old hunter crawled out from under the mud.

The old hunter's relics were buried underground, and the recovered life energy was attached to them.

"I think I understand."

The stern-looking old hunter sat in his home with his arms folded across his chest.

There are three cups of tea on the table.

"Transforming the structure of an object is your ability to bring the dead back to life."

There was no doubt that the newly appointed leader of the Royal Hunting Court was much more powerful than his fallen "predecessor", and was not even on the same level as any hunter he knew.

But he had no idea where Duan Mingyuan came from, or why he wanted to rebuild the Imperial Hunting Court.

But none of this matters. Right now, there are more urgent things that Duan Mingyuan needs to accomplish.

"In that case, you have to do this next thing."

The old hunter folded his arms across his chest, and the atmosphere in the room became unprecedentedly solemn.

Xing held her breath and looked at her master obediently and quietly.

as well as……

The master has a sunken nose.

This is what she stepped on.

I thought it would return to normal soon, but I didn't expect that after several hours, Master's face was still flat.

Whenever she saw her master's sunken nose, she felt guilty.

"Can you think of a way to fix my nose?"

The serious-looking old hunter pointed to his face and stated the most pressing issue at the moment with a serious look on his face.

Thanks to Youyouovo for the reward of 100 Qidian coins!

Chapter 227 A Solitary Boat

That night, Duan Mingyuan completed the last task of his trip to Siyang City - helping the old hunter repair his concave nose that was stepped on.

It would not be good to be trampled by his own apprentice as if he were a zombie, so when he reported it, he only reported it as a work-related injury.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Liu and Xing, Duan Mingyuan did not stay in Siyang City any longer. He booked a flight back to Yunlong City overnight. Jiu Yue did not rest late at night and insisted on picking him up at the airport.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when the plane landed. The airport was deserted with only a few scattered reception staff.

Duan Mingyuan searched the waiting area and found Jiuyue, who was curled up on a bench in the corner with her knees hugged. The fiery red tail served as a makeshift pillow, and she held it in her arms, resting her cheek on it.

There was also a plastic box on the chair next to him, which contained an insulated lunch box. In the lunch box were three dishes and a soup that Jiuyue had made before leaving.

Jiuyue has always had a very regular schedule and doesn't like staying up late. If there is nothing important, he usually lies down on the bed and covers himself with a quilt after ten o'clock.

Among young people for whom staying up late has become the norm, Jiuyue’s healthy schedule is unique and worth learning for all young people.

Looking at Jiu Yue's relaxed brows after she fell asleep, Duan Mingyuan always felt particularly relaxed, and the fatigue and stress accumulated throughout the day disappeared at this moment.

He suddenly remembered the question of idealism raised by Heya.

If all his past is a "background story" that can be rewritten at will, then when did his real life begin?

According to this theory, perhaps it is the change from the monotonous life that makes us want to stop.

Duan Mingyuan didn't think about it any further.

September, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to have heard some noise, and the pointed ears on his head moved.

After a few seconds, her left eye opened a crack and she looked up blearily.

Seeing that the person standing in front of him was Duan Mingyuan, he smiled brightly.

"Mr. Mingyuan, are you hungry? This is the midnight snack I prepared for you. It's still hot. Come and have a taste!"

At this moment, Duan Mingyuan felt that the ancients were not deceiving him.

The reputation of the virtuous fox wife is by no means fictitious, but is a conclusion drawn from real-life experience and research.

……

After returning to the academy, Duan Mingyuan welcomed a long week.

The students in the academy generally responded that although Professor Chen Chou was knowledgeable, he had little patience and a bad temper. When he met a student who learned slowly, he would turn into the Roaring King and look like he was about to explode with anger. It was no problem for the students to be yelled at once or twice, but they were afraid that Mr. Chen Chou would be angry to death.

In an anonymous survey organized by the Yunhai Five Heroes, 72% of students hoped that Mr. Chen Chou would retire soon, while another 28% of students wished that caterpillars would enter Professor Chen Chou's osmanthus wine.

After the college opened to the public, students absorbed many advanced rules and regulations.

The Five Heroes of Yunhai took the initiative to undertake the work of the Student Union. In addition to daily courses, they also carefully divided the elective courses. At present, Teacher Jiu Yue’s "Magical Monsters" course has become the most popular course among the elective courses with the well-deserved first place.

September continued the Hunter Association's setting for companion monsters, encouraging the monsters in the mountains to communicate more with the students.

A week after Duan Mingyuan returned to school, the third prince in the court sent a message.

The application submitted by Blue Star to the Sixteen Star Summit has been officially approved. At the upcoming summit, representatives from sixteen civilizations will vote on this issue. If more than half of the votes are cast, Blue Star will become a member of the Sixteen Star Summit.

But even though they had baptized people to write letters of recommendation for them, it was still very difficult.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since the last planet joined the summit.

The barriers to entry became increasingly high, and applicants during this period were ultimately rejected.

In addition, the third prince also brought an important message.

Considering the possibility of Blue Star joining the Sixteen-Star Summit, they will have a valuable vote in their hands at that time and will need to vote on one of the most important issues of the summit.

This issue involves the two largest forces in the universe, Universal Company and Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce.

There is a trend of merging Universal Company and Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce, which is not a good thing for the independent Sixteen Star Summit. The summit director who conveyed the information to Blue Star implicitly stated that he believes that the structure of the triangular forces is more stable and can avoid the situation of one dominant party as much as possible.

If Blue Star gets this precious voting right, he hopes that the representatives of Blue Star can cast a precious vote against it.

And then there was the news early this morning.

The director's flagship was attacked by unknown space pirates on the way back. When the summit rescue team arrived following the signal, the director and his crew had turned into scattered space garbage, with only wreckage left, and not even a complete body could be found.

This is the second Sixteen Star Summit director to be attacked this month.

What they had in common was that they publicly opposed the merger of Universal Company and Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce, and severely accused it of being a conspiracy of the Semites.

Blue Star has just gotten rid of the control of the company, but the situation in the universe seems to be much more serious.

The power of the Shan people seems to exist not only in companies and chambers of commerce, but also infiltrated into the Sixteen Star Summit. They are in high positions and can clearly grasp the whereabouts of the directors' flagship.

The whole universe is filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Although all evidence points to the notorious space pirates, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

The Semites did not take the rumors seriously. They seemed to want to send a signal to the entire universe through these two events - they no longer bothered to pretend or endure.

Even though they eliminated two directors of the Sixteen-Star Summit one after another, the summit was helpless against them.

In this vast universe, the Blue Planet is like a lone boat.

The Third Prince formally extended an invitation to the Imperial Hunting Court and Yunhai Academy on behalf of the court, hoping that they could attend the upcoming Sixteen Star Summit as the Blue Star delegation.

He has achieved certain results in "ship repair". Although his technology is still immature, the rebuilt flagship is already able to complete short interstellar voyages.

"Mr. Mingyuan!"

At this moment, Jiu Yue rushed into the faculty office where Duan Mingyuan was in a panic.

The rapid and piercing crime scene background music broke the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere of the afternoon.

"A case has occurred in the academy!"

"If you have something to say, please say it. Turn off the BGM on your phone."

The teachers in the staff office all looked sideways and became nervous at the sudden melody.

"This will highlight the urgency of the case even more!"

Jiu Yue pressed the pause button and said, "Lihua is missing. I suspect this is a kidnapping case!"

Thanks to Snow Country Ranger for the reward of 100 Starting Coins!

Chapter 228 Case Focus

Lihua, Tang Qianqian's companion monster, is a classmate of September. He is a cat monster with tabby markings. Since coming to Yunhai Academy with everyone else, he has served as a teaching assistant for the "Magical Monsters" course. He is very experienced in coordinating monsters and humans, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a communication ambassador for monsters.

The above is all Duan Mingyuan knows about Lihua.

It seems that because of the influence of the object of his relationship, Lihua has become very "contented". After finishing his work every day, he likes to lie on the rocks in the back mountain to bask in the sun.

"Among cat demons, the tabby cat has a very good color and is one of the most beautiful ones."

Detective Jiu Yue added that she thought this was a very important clue, "so this could be a rape case."

"Rape case? You think the kidnapper might be a monster in the mountains."

Duan Mingyuan asked.

"No, it's human."

The case is becoming more and more confusing.

Duan Mingyuan had to ask, "During the time I was away on business, did Lihua learn to transform into a human?"

With September as a sample, the teachers and students of Yunhai Academy seemed to have high expectations for the transformation of monsters into humans. Although the companion monster plan was in full swing on the mountain, he felt that at least half of those who signed up enthusiastically had impure motives.

As an Internet surfing enthusiast, Duan Mingyuan knows that love has gradually evolved into a legendary task in recent years. Love between humans is full of intrigues, and only a very small number of people who are both wise and lucky can fight their way out of it. Those who get lost in the task often pay a huge loss of time and money.

There were even people who died in the process of completing their mission.

Therefore, Duan Mingyuan had heard that many people had taken a different approach and discovered the beauty of monsters.

Most of the monsters in the back mountain are inexperienced and simple in character. As long as you are nice to them, they will remember it and stay with you forever.

And this is precisely the charm of the companion monster plan.

You may very likely meet your child bride in the back hills.

Everyone is back at the same starting line. As long as they put in time and effort, they can reap stable rewards. Compared to legendary quests that are full of risks and uncertainties, this new way of interaction has been widely praised.

"There are a lot of people who like Lihua. She ranked in the top three in the last popularity statistics."

“There are such statistics?”

"Yes, this is also to help people better understand the ecology of monsters. Correspondingly, there is also a "Human Popularity Ranking" among monsters."

September paused, "It's worth mentioning that my popularity ranking is number one, far ahead."

People inside and outside the academy all dream of forming a bond with a fox demon. Unfortunately, fox demons are extremely rare, and their entire clan lives in seclusion in deep mountains and forests, making it difficult to find fox demons in the outside world.

Whenever talking about Teacher September, the teachers and students of the academy couldn't help but sigh.

Teacher Jiu Yue is good in every way, the only flaw being that she became someone else's wife at such a young age. This also made them realize the importance of taking the initiative.

Duan Mingyuan was not surprised by this result.

This is the fox demon. No one he has met so far does not like the fox demon.
