"Phew —"
Dai Yi raised her head and let out a long sigh. She no longer felt like this saber was a necklace. She felt like she was holding a priceless treasure in her hands.
Little Rascal couldn't help but sigh. "No wonder Ding Meng said that this saber was given to him by someone very important. It turns out that this saber has been through so much."
Dai Yi turned her head. Ding Meng was still in a daze. She couldn't help but ask, "Now that this saber is in your hands, it must be shouldering a new mission?"
Ding Meng nodded silently. "Every owner of this saber has never let down their predecessors. I am no exception."
Dai Yi said, "Did the previous generation's big brother pass it to you?"
Ding Meng hesitated. "Yes!"
Dai Yi said, "What does he want you to do?"
Ding Meng picked up the cup gently and didn't say anything again.
Dai Yi curled her lips helplessly and sighed. "Cousin Ding Meng, no matter what you want to do, I will support and support you.
I believe in you and support you. I can go with you. "
Ding Meng smiled. "Miss Dai, if you follow a galactic refugee like me, you will encounter all kinds of danger at any time. The Holy Grail Federation is where you should really stay."
Dai Yi immediately retorted, "I am not afraid of danger."
Ding Meng's tone was a little cold. "No one is afraid of danger, but danger is danger."
Dai Yi sighed helplessly. "Alright, I will listen to you."
Ding Meng's tone softened slightly. "The marshal has already contacted the Assault Mercenary Group. A new fleet will come to the periphery of the E system nebula. Miss Dai Yi, you can take a spaceship back to the Green Arrow Group. Captain Gulaga and the others will definitely send you back to the Federation safely."
Dai Yi was silent. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little tense.
After an unknown period of time, Dai Yi sighed and mustered up the courage to speak. "Ding Meng …."
Ding Meng was a little confused. "Hmm?"
Dai Yi blushed. She lowered her head and said softly, "Ding Meng, I think … I … actually like you a little …"
She did not dare to raise her head to look at Ding Meng. She was afraid that he would reject her.
Ding Meng was stunned and sighed. If Dai Yi was afraid of rejection, then Ding Meng didn't even know how to reject.
Little Rascal finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Hurry up and say yes to her, you idiot Ding Meng. Once you say yes to her, do it right away. Aiyo, I'm really worried about you. Before, you didn't dare to look at her, and you didn't dare to touch her. This time, you can openly look and touch her …"
"Shut up, Little Naughty!" Ding Meng reprimanded.
"That's right, be quiet!" Xiao Ai also reprimanded him. "Why are you interrupting at such a critical moment?"
Little Rascal turned his head in dissatisfaction. "Hmph!"
In the face of Dai Yi's shyness, Ding Meng's expression softened a lot. He looked at her and said quietly, "Thank you, Miss Dai. Really."
Dai Yi's lips curled up again. "Why are you just thanking me?"
Ding Meng said, "I'm sincerely thanking you. You think highly of me."
Dai Yi was a little dissatisfied. "So what if you're a galactic refugee? Ding Meng, if you join the Holy Grail Federation, I guarantee that your citizenship will be taken care of."
"That's not what I meant."
Ding Meng smiled and sighed. "I just feel very lucky and happy. People like us are already very satisfied to be able to gain your favor."
Dai Yi might not be able to understand what he meant. Ding Meng was not only feeling emotional about himself, but he also kept thinking about Xin Jie. He always felt that he and Xin Jie were the same kind of people. Their lives were very hard, and being able to stay alive was a very luxurious thing. As for friendship and love, they would never dream of it.
However, to his surprise, Dai Yi actually understood part of what he meant. She even took the initiative to place her hand on the back of Ding Meng's hand. "I know you promised Nightmare to help him, so you'll still be busy for a while, right?"
Ding Meng did not resist this time. His other hand also held Dai Yi's fair and smooth hand. "I also have more important things to do."
Dai Yi seemed to remember something. "By the way, Ding Meng, will you be joining the Federation in the future?"
Faced with her passionate and expectant gaze, Ding Meng pondered for a moment before nodding slowly and firmly. "Miss Dai, if I'm free, I'll definitely come to the Federation to look for you. Please don't worry."
After getting an affirmative answer, Dai Yi jumped up happily. She did not even care that Ding Meng was covered in dirt. She held Ding Meng's forehead and gently kissed it. Then she walked out the door with a flushed face. "Cousin Ding Meng, I'm going back to my room to get some rest. I'll patiently wait for your news. I hope you can come to the Federation soon …"
Ding Meng sat on the sofa in a daze. He could not come back to his senses for a long time after Dai Yi kissed him.
Little Rascal was finally pleased. "Hehe, what do you think?"
Xiao Ai was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Little Rascal said, "I dare to make a bet with you."
Xiao Ai said, "What bet?"
Little Rascal said, "Do you believe that Ding Meng won't wash his hands or face for three days after being kissed?"
Xiao Ai said, "I believe you!"
Ding Meng: "…"
The Blazing Shark spaceship was still quietly sailing through space, but Pandora's planet Virus4 had already appeared on the interstellar map's real-time display. From the outside, it looked like a whirlpool of purplish black poisonous gas.
Nightmare operated the main control console and the spaceship began to enter the atmosphere.
After they had truly entered the atmosphere, the color displayed on the real-time display changed again. The planet was actually a lifeless greyish white, and the drifting clouds in the sky seemed to have been dyed with a light red hue.
Nightmare explained, "Planet V4's poison is very strong. It permeates the entire atmosphere, and at the same time, it's constantly diffusing outwards. That's why it's formed a ring of purple stardust on the periphery. Normal spaceships can't enter at all."
Xiao Ai said, "She's right. I've detected that the radiation interference here is very strong. It's very strong even for quantum-level communications."
Ding Meng also stared at the screen carefully. He discovered that there were countless dark green objects bouncing around in the clouds in the sky. They were about the size of large shuttles, and even the Blazing Shark spaceship had to carefully avoid them.
Nightmare said, "Due to the radiation and the force field, the metal ores on the ground are all floating in the air. There's still a certain pattern to their movement. If a spaceship can't grasp the pattern, it'll be very difficult for it to land."
Ding Meng said, "Isn't this more or less a natural protective measure?"
Nightmare sighed. "When this place was first discovered many years ago, many people died just to study the pattern of movement of these metal balls …"
He did not say it out loud, but Ding Meng could still tell that life on the ground was not easy for people. He believed that Nightmare would definitely not survive on this planet alone.
The spaceship was still descending, and the color of the ground gradually turned from grayish-white to dark brown. It felt like an endless expanse of scorched earth.
The spaceship began to fly close to the ground at a low altitude. Ding Meng soon saw the true appearance of Planet Poison Hazard. He saw a large expanse of blue-green forest in the distance, filled with volatile energy currents. After the spaceship passed through the forest, it flew for a long time before slowly landing in an open area.
The blue-green poison in this area was clearly not as dense as it looked from the outside. In fact, it had been diluted quite a bit. After the connecting hatch opened, a fragrant smell immediately wafted out.
Nightmare turned his head and said hesitantly, "Mr. Ting, are you okay?"
Ding Meng nodded. "I'm fine!"
Xiao Ai's inspection report had already appeared in his field of vision. The air in this area was filled with poisonous gas, but the concentration was much lower than outside of the forest. It was not difficult to explain why Nightmare had waited until the assault fleet had picked up Dai Yi and the others before coming down. It was because ordinary people would not be able to come down, and even Origin Ability users would find it difficult to resist the invasion of the poisonous gas.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Ding Meng was a super big tree that was shaped like a multi-clawed fish. Its entire body was suffused with an icy blue luster. This tree was at least three hundred meters tall, and it was completely integrated with the various strange plants around it, as if it had a unique life of its own.
Various parts of the tree's branches and trunk were built in the shape of round tents. They looked like rooms, and presumably, they were used for people to live in.
Ding Meng scanned the area with his telekinesis vision and was immediately surprised. Not only were there people living in this place, there were quite a few of them. However, there was a strange phenomenon. These people's bodies were very strange, and they did not look like normal people. Their auras were also very different from normal people's. Most of them were sitting or lying down, and they looked very weak …
At this time, someone finally ran up from under the tree. "Sister Meng Yan, you're finally back."
"Sister?"
Ding Meng was shocked. Although Nightmare had always appeared in the form of "Le Fei" during the journey, Ding Meng never thought that Nightmare's gender was actually a woman.
Nightmare replied awkwardly, "I really don't want to hide anything from Mr. Ting. I am indeed a woman, but I am also not a woman."
This was really difficult to understand, but Ding Meng did not ask because he was frightened by the scene in front of him. Strictly speaking, this "person" who ran up could not be called a person at all.
This person was very short, like a dwarf, but his head was as big as a bucket, and there were three eyes on his bald head. His mouth was completely split open, like the bloody mouth of a tiger or a leopard. The most terrifying thing was below his neck. All the skin was reddish-brown, and it emitted a strong stench, like a dried corpse …
If this person was not talking, Ding Meng would definitely think that this was a mutated monster from the planet.
He suddenly remembered that when Nightmare was fighting Qiang Wei on Flying Star City, the body lying on the bed was exactly the same as this person in front of him.
Nightmare said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ting. I've caused you discomfort."
If Ding Meng was here, he would probably vomit on the spot, but what kind of disgusting scene had Ding Meng not seen before?
He waved his hand lightly. "It's fine!"
Nightmare sighed. "Xiao Wei is one of the better-looking ones here. That's why he usually stays on the landing field outside."
So this person is called Xiao Wei. Ding Meng nodded and greeted, "Hello!"
Xiao Wei's three eyes rolled around. Obviously, he was very wary of Ding Meng.
Nightmare said softly, "Xiao Wei, Mr. Ting is an important guest that I've invited back. Please take me to Auntie Xueyan."
Xiao Wei extended his hand politely. "Alright, Sister Meng Yan. Mr. Ting, please follow me."
