CHAPTER 01

Desolate Star

Tuk!

The silver bracelet between the wrists flashed slightly, and Ji Mian carelessly dropped her eyelashes.

The newest message on the communication list was sent by Ji Cheng, his half-brother, wishing him a “good trip” the day he left the Ji family.

Ji Mian swept the news lightly, his dark eyes couldn’t stand up, and he walked forward.

In the Star Port, there is a man hovering in front of the entrance of the departing spaceship, who seems to have been waiting for a long time.

“Little Mian, you’re here!”

Looking at Ji Mian figure, the man’s eyes lit up, and a smile then surfaced on his face.

“I heard that you are leaving Star Capital today, I came to see you off.”

“Thank you so much.”

Ji Mian voice was clear and pleasant, calm and slightly cold like the falling first snow.

“I heard that you’re getting engaged to the Aaron family’s daughter, congratulations.”

The man named Lan De was taken aback, originally wanted to say the words stuck in his mouth, his face floated inexplicably with a sincere expression: “You know everything?”

He saw Ji Mian did not respond, seemed to want to justify himself what, spoke again: “Xiao Mian, actually I don’t like him, just…”

“Don’t call me that,” interrupted Ji Mian in an unchanged tone, “our relationship shouldn’t be that close yet.”

“…”

Realizing his refusal, Lan De was taken aback, his face became dull, his gaze drifted, there was nowhere to stay, and finally fell back onto Ji Mian’s face.

His newly engaged fiancé, Omega of the Aaron family, is a beautiful rose and is well known in Star Capital. However, Ji Mian who was right in front of him at this time, looking at such eyebrows and eyes, Lan De had to admit that he was also an Omega, and the roses that bloomed would also pale in front of Ji Mian.

Lan De had long known about the recent chaos in the Ji family. After experiencing such an accident, he had thought that the person in front of him would be haggard and weak, but they weren’t.

Wind, ice, cold, and snow could barely leave traces on Ji Mian’s body, or himself was inaccessible ice and snow.

“I have a house on R3, nobody knows where, and only I have the keys.”

“You can stay there, clothes, food, daily life. I’ll arrange everything for you, you don’t have to worry about anything, as long as…”

What responded was Ji Mian’s cold voice: “Let go.”

Lan De looked at him affectionately, and patiently lowered his voice: “Where can you go now? You are just an Omega who left the Ji Family and the Star Capital and you are so handsome. I don’t know how many people will leave wanting you. It’s very dangerous there, can you protect yourself?”

The man’s eyes wandered to Ji Mian’s face, as if the man on the beach admired the ugly face of the man who drowned in the lake, with his chest filled with pure love, but more with the joy and pride of being able to look down on others.

You think you’re still a proud son of heaven, one of the few S-Class Auxiliary Abilities?

Lan De thought to himself.

You had long ago fallen from S-Class to B-Class, reduced to the entire Capital Star joke joke, expelled from the Ji family, lost power and loved ones, lost everything.

How pitiful.

Now, apart from me, who else can help you, who else will be on your side?

You can only stay by my side, pray for my shelter, and become something that is my own.

The corner of Lan De’s mouth curled uncontrollably, the shadowy joy grew like moist moss, and he couldn’t wait to go forward to look into Ji Mian’s beautiful, terrifying, and pleading eyes.

However, he didn’t see the awe and plea he thought he would.

A long, thin hand clenched, the knuckles protruded, and the fist swung down in a firm, hard arc.

Then, it smashed his face hard.

“AGH!”

A miserable scream rose, and Lan De fell heavily to the ground, hands covering his nose. A sour and bitter taste came from the nostrils, and the whole face seemed to be wrinkled and torn by the hands.

“Don’t you dare hit me!”

Lan De’s eyes filled with tears with pain, and in his anger he raised his voice and shouted.

“An Omega, how dare—”

The hoarse voice was right beside his ear, and Ji Mian turned his wrist expressionlessly, lowered his eyes, and met Lan De angry gaze.

His eyes were as cold as an ice-covered glacier, flowing with bone-chilling ice: “Go away.”

Lan De’s body trembled, all his anger instantly extinguished, his words clogged between his throat, didn’t dare to make a sound, and couldn’t even control his trembling.

The sight frightened him and trembled from his soul.

It was a complete suppression from superior to inferior, a direct shock from spiritual power.

An Omega, really suppressing it, an Alpha!

In Lan De’s heart sparked a wave of shock, but between fear, but also astonishment.

Even though he had fallen from S-Class to B-Class, which was his level, Ji Mian’s mental strength was still above his, and was even able to suppress it!

Lan De gritted his teeth, Lan De was furious!

Then he rolled away, afraid of being hit.

The man hurriedly fled, Ji Mian didn’t leave even half a glance at him, and boarded the plane alone.

The plane departed, the clear porthole reflected the night sky dotted with stars of the Star Capital, the lights of thousands of homes like bright diamonds sprinkled, even the starry sea and the galaxy are not as bright as this city that never sleeps.

“Mr. Ji, may I ask where you plan to go afterwards?”

The electronic shadow emerged from the seat of the airship, the artificial intelligence controlling the small plane.

Ji Mian propped up his jaw, long slender eyelashes slightly covered down, his eyes swept through the porthole and fell on the boundless distance.

“I want to, take a trip to my mother’s hometown.”

Artificial Intelligence(AI): “Accepted, found the target planet… Target planet found successfully, it is expected to pass the jumping off point, it will take one day.”

The pitch-dark universe was vast and boundless, and the bright and shining Capital Star had been left far behind, never to be seen in its former glory again.

He doesn’t know how much time has passed, but Ji Mian, who was leaning against the window with her eyes closed, raised her eyes.

Outside the porthole, a huge shadow appeared silently around the jumping off point the plane was about to approach, as if it were an ancient beast living in the universe, glancing ahead.

Ji Mian: “What is it?”

As soon as the words fell, the plane shook violently, the red warning light flashed incessantly, and the ever-smooth AI voice rose and fell sharply, shouting sharply: “The plane was suddenly attacked by an unknown person, the highest level defense program is underway activated!”

“Mr. Ji, be careful!”

Planet E-13, located in the most remote seventh star system of the Federation. Vast and sparsely vegetated yellow sands cover the land, and above the sands is a gray darkness that covers the sky all year round.

The dry wind rolls up the dust, blurring the vision in the distance. On the back of the planet, all kinds of dull and discolored electronic waste pile valley, a figure from the high leap down.

That is a black-haired youth, slim, pale and handsome cheeks, dark brown eyes deep, dark as the night.

Chu Shiye walked alone in the valley, his old boots stepping over the rough sandy ground, occasionally rusty parts caught in the sand, he bent down to pick them up and threw them into a leather pouch.

He wore a black jacket on his upper body, bending over to reveal the decoration on his waist, which was a dark dagger, the sharp edge of which was hidden within a dull sheath.

“Drrt! Today… Drrt! Broadcasting urgent news…”

The yellow sand rolled in the sound of a blurry current, Chu Shiye’s ears listened, and quickly found the source of the sound.

It came from half hidden under the yellow sand soil and he discovered a palm-sized black iron.

This is an old radio type, from the prosperous planet has long been lost, in this distant backward planet can still find traces.

However, these radios were unable to connect to the more sophisticated StarNet channels, and the newscasts came from various smaller channels of unknown origin.

At the moment, this soon-to-be-removed radio appears to have inadvertently picked up a certain frequency, a raspy tone that oozes occasionally from its rusty casing.

“News report, the son of the Ji family, Ji Mian, was killed in the third Galaxy the day before.”

“Right now—Drrtt! Haven’t found the wreck yet…”

The sound that played for a long time, suddenly became chaotic. Chu Shiye tapped hard on the radio shell, which muttered even though it was still intermittent, but sometimes it was a little clearer and more coherent than now.

“Shortly before the plane wreck… Ji Mian had been accompanied by the Ji family for the second adult mental strength test. After S-Class, he actually fell into B-Class for no apparent reason. And before that, the Federation had never had a record of such drastic decline in mental strength…”

“This makes people doubt whether the results of the S-Class test several years ago were true and whether there was any possibility of falsification… After all, Mister Ji Mian is just an Omega, not an Alpha or a Beta…”

“I’m not saying this to be sexist, but simply from the fact that a weak Omega physique isn’t enough to support strong mental strength. Perhaps Ji Mian was once truly a strong S-Class, but at the time he died, he was only a pitiful B-Class…”

The radio was messed up again, and Chu Shiye didn’t say anything.

On this remote planet, where the brightest light of the Star Capital could not be reached, even though he had never heard of the “Ji family” on the news, he knew exactly what S-Class meant.

The most powerful spiritual power, the highest rank of all interstellar rare existences. No matter how we look up, we can’t catch a glimpse of the high position. The difference is like the clouds and the mud.

However, the distant news on this broken radio, such an unreachable existence on the news, what does it have to do with him?

The voice of the news anchor gradually faded, and soon only the sound of the strong current remained.

Chu Shiye turned off the radio, threw it into the bag, and continued walking forward.

The gray dome stretched out, the end of the valley where trash was piled up, the steep slope below, was an even more desolate no man’s land.

Chu Shiye stopped walking.

He usually rarely ventured there, because in front of him was an even more dangerous area, lurking with unknown monsters.

However, in an area that was dead and dull in the past, there was some unusual movement today for some reason.

Chu Shiye raised his gaze, the distant border of the no man’s land was a rolling wind and sand, drowned in the dust.

Something’s wrong.

Chu Shiye’s fingertips touched the dagger at her waist, and after a moment’s thought, he leaped forward.

The sand rolled up the dry, hot air and scraped the skin like a knife blade.

Chu Shiye raised his hand before his eyes, carefully avoiding the wind and sand, relying on a kind of intuition to feel the way forward.

He is not lost.

Machine parts were scattered everywhere, they were precision parts that Chu Shiye had never seen before. They should have been installed on complex instruments, but now they were like rolling trash.

Following the messy part further, Chu Shiye smelled a special smell.

Crispy, frozen, like snow in winter.

It is the smell of blood.

Chu Shiye stopped in his tracks, and under the wind-blown black hair, those eyes reflected silver-gray circular instruments.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it seemed to be an emergency exit.

The inside of the escape pod was gray and dark, and blood spilled from the broken bottom, staining the sandy yellow ground.

Blood also seems to hide some kind of special smell that tickles the mind. Chu Shiye only slightly relieved with a slight shake, subconsciously took a step back.

This smell… Could be...

Chu Shiye’s heart faintly passed a certain guess, not waiting to determine, suddenly heard a kind of beast hissing, one after another, like wolves flocking in the wilderness.

A sizzling sound approached quickly, Chu Shiye’s slightly dazed eyes instantly awakened, dark as the gloom under the night.

He turned around and took out the short knife at his waist.

Am I dead?

This was the first thought that emerged from Ji Mian’s awakening from the severe pain and sleepy consciousness.

Or maybe…

The pain in the temple almost exploded, Ji Mian in cold sweat could barely open her eyes. Vision is blurred for a while, and only after a few seconds it becomes clear.

The first thing that came into view was the gray ceiling.

The four square ceiling supports a simple house.

Where is this?

Under the eyelashes wet with sweat, Ji Mian’s under eyes were blurry and not shining.

The hazy feeling returned, he seemed to be lying on a bed made of hardwood planks, covered with bedding although a bit rough, but warm enough to retain a bit of heat for his cold fingertips.

So he’s still alive?

Who saved him?

Doubts emerged from the bottom of his heart, what kind of movement sounded from the side of the room, Ji Mian endured the pain, and slowly tilted his head.

It is a narrow room, and there is no separation between the various living areas. There was a simple table at the head of the bed, and a few steps to the left against the wall was an ancient stove that Ji Mian had never seen before, serving as the kitchen.

A fire was made on the stove, and a saucepan was placed on the fire, gurgling.

The black-haired young man stood still, stirring the soup ladle in the pot.

Within the rising steam, his handsome face had a few traces of blood that had not yet healed.

The main goal of the company is to provide the best service to its customers.

Jiang Mian looked at him.

He also looked at Ji Mian.

No one said anything, the atmosphere in the room froze for some reason.

“…”

Ji Mian thought to himself: Well, it seems that I am not very polite.

He sat up firmly and wanted to say something, his five bloodless long fingers suddenly covered his mouth, and a light cough escaped from between his pale lips.

The real fact is that you can find a lot of people who can’t get a lot of things.

The sound of the company’s coughing had died down, and the company quietly brought him a cup of warm water.

He raised his slightly wet eyelashes and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally come back to life.

“Thank you.”

Ji Mian opened his mouth, looked tired, his voice was hoarse and tired, but it was like a shallow stream flowing through the forest, with its own forest leaves and a gentle breeze warm and clear.

“Are you the one who saved me?”

Chu Shiye nodded her head, didn’t say anything, and handed the steaming bowl forward again.

Ji Mian dropped his eyes in ignorance.

In the white bowl, incomprehensible slimy black bubbles floated out, the bubbles kept bursting, sounding like the whispers of the Ancient Gods.

Ji Mian voiced some invisible stagnation: “This… A kind of soup?”

Chu Shiye shook his head: “No, it’s porridge.”

Ji Mian leaned back slightly: “Then, is it black rice porridge?”

Chu Shiye: “No.”

“This is porridge cooked with white rice.”

Ji Mian’s long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, the Alpha in front of him had approached silently, lowered his head slightly, with a focused and serious look: “Eat it, maybe your body will be better.”

Ji Mian: “…”
