Lying on the hospital bed, the Fox Ear smiled lazily. "Don’t be in such a hurry, little Flood Dra. It’s not like that cat is going to die anyti soon.
"In fact, this poison was never ant to be lethal. What’s the rush?"
’It’s true, it won’t kill. It’ll just make life a living hell.’
’To have your body trapped while your mind remains sharp... who wouldn’t go mad after a while?’
"I’m done wasting my breath on you. Either you give the Antidote Potion today, or you’re not walking out of this hospital."
"After all, my patience has its limits. In the end, he’s just one of my love rivals."
"Heh, a threat like that might work on soone else."
"He may be your love rival, but his female master is your beloved, isn’t she~?" Far from being threatened, the Fox Ear only grew more arrogant.
Yun Xie suppressed his anger. "So what? If this one dies, I’ll just find a few more for my female master.
"If there’s one thing this galaxy has plenty of, it’s males."
"Uh-huh, you’re right."
"But, as it happens, your female master is such a sweetheart~"
"You wouldn’t dare, would you? You don’t even have the guts to let her know that her little cat was poisoned."
Yun Xie stared coolly at the Fox Ear.
’My patience is wearing thin.’
’This man always knew how to stoke his fury, making him wish he could just kill him right then and there, yet he had to restrain himself.’
"State your conditions."
The brazen Fox Ear chuckled and pillowed his hands behind his head. "Haven’t decided yet. I’ll contact you when I have."
"Three days. If you’re still not willing to hand it over in three days, then you can die."
After delivering the cold threat, Yun Xie left. The Fox Ear’s lips curled into a smile as he resud his role as a dutiful patient.

anwhile, Jiang Qingfeng, who had just returned to camp from the battlefield, imdiately took out his Light Computer.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Qin had safely returned to the Federation several days ago.
He hadn’t had any ti to check the news on the Star Network lately.
By the ti he heard the news of Jiang Qin’s disappearance, several days had already passed.
Now, learning of her safe return, several more days had gone by.
"Reporting, Young Marshal!"
"Enter."
The Imperial Warrior who entered said respectfully, "Young Marshal, your Riot Value can’t be allowed to rise any further. The Empress orders you to imdiately lead the wounded and disabled warriors back to the Empire’s sanatorium for treatnt."
Jiang Qingfeng didn’t argue. He nodded in agreent. "Alright. Go inform the others. Tomorrow morning, all wounded and disabled warriors, and those with a Riot Value of 80% or higher, will return to the Empire with ."
The warrior acknowledged the order and left.
Once he was alone, Jiang Qingfeng shut his eyes in pain.
’Right now, it felt like his brain was being churned to a pulp.’
He had already transferred to a civilian post and shouldn’t have had to go to the battlefield again, but this ti was different.
The Alien Beast leading this invasion was one he had been tracking for many years.
This Alien Beast was extrely cunning, even understanding human battle strategies, making it very difficult to deal with.
Within the Empire, only he was familiar with this particular Alien Beast, which was why the Empress had sent him to lead the warriors in a desperate defense of the front line.
If his Riot Value hadn’t truly reached a point where he could no longer hold on, he wouldn’t be retreating now.
In truth, Jiang Qingfeng was unwilling to accept this.
’He hadn’t killed that Alien Beast yet. He still had so many comrades on the battlefield!’
’He felt like a deserter.’
Yet, no matter what he felt, he had to lead the troops back to the Empire’s sanatorium for treatnt the next morning.
...
At this mont, in another sector of the front lines, the Federation Soldiers were also struggling to hold on.
Every Beastman was surrounded by several massive Alien Beasts.
They were fighting for their lives.
No one had the spare energy to help others fend off the Alien Beasts, as they were also fighting three-on-one.
After all, the Alien Beasts outnumbered them by more than five to one.
And these were rely the Alien Beasts’ vanguard.
Cannon fodder, in other words, sent only to scout and wear down their combat strength.
The truly powerful Alien Beasts had yet to show themselves.
Most terrifying of all were the enormous eyes in the sky, gazing down upon their battle.
They belonged to the Cosmic Beasts from the Cosmic Abyss.
Their bodies were tens of tis larger than even the Alien Beasts, and they possessed all sorts of wondrous powers.
As for why they were spying on the battle?
It was, of course, because these Cosmic Beasts were also eyeing the Beastn like prey. They were monitoring them, waiting for the mont when both sides were decimated to strike.
"Squad 1, Squad 2, fall back with Admiral Mo."
It was finally ti for the shift change. Lan Shaoyu quickly carried his two injured friends back to the camp.
A dical Master hurried over and used a device to test their Riot Values.
"Bai Mufeng, Riot Value 87%. Go lie down in a dical Pod first. I’ll put you on the waiting list for a soothing master.
"But you’d better apply to the Admiral to return to the Federation for treatnt as soon as possible. We don’t have enough soothing masters on the battlefield. Who knows when your turn will co up."
"Understood, doctor." Lan Shaoyu nodded, his expression grave.
"Mm, and this is Gu Tianyou, right? His Riot Value isn’t low either, it’s already at 82%. I don’t recomnd he returns to the battlefield."
The two were then sent to line up for the dical Pods.
That’s right, even the dical Pods had a waiting list because there were too many injured warriors.
Many had even brought out their personal dical Pods for public use, but it still wasn’t enough.
The entire camp was a hive of activity.
From ti to ti, one could hear the furious shouts of females and the desperate pleas of staff mbers coaxing them to work.
To relieve the pressure on the front lines, the Federation had sent over all its female convicts.
So of them had committed minor cris, nowhere near serious enough to warrant being sent to the battlefield.
So they caused a scene every day. Even when the Federation Governnt offered a series of compensation packages, they still refused to work.
So even used this as leverage, starting to make exorbitant demands and threats.
One A-level female even declared, "You want to soothe those low-class males? Fine. Have Admiral Mo Chen co see !"
With no other choice, a warrior had to go get Mo Chen.
Mo Chen, who hadn’t rested in months, was utterly fed up but had no choice but to go.
"Miss Zhang, I hear you wanted to see ?"
Miss Zhang sat on the sofa, tilting her head back to look at him arrogantly. "That’s right. I wanted to tell you that if you want to work, you have to marry !
"As long as you marry , I can, for your sake, agree to soothe these low-class males."
Before Mo Chen could say anything, Si Xu, who had followed him to watch the show, couldn’t hold back,
"Are you kidding, Miss Zhang? You’re an A-level female. Mo Chen is an SS-level male. If you got married, could you even soothe him??"
Miss Zhang’s expression imdiately soured. "So what? In any case, you’re the ones who want my help. That’s my condition."
Mo Chen’s expression didn’t even flicker. He turned and walked away.
"Hmph, don’t you regret walking away, Mo Chen! Think about how many of your comrades will go berserk because they can’t be soothed, all because you left!
"By the ti you think about coming back to beg , I’ll have more than just this one condition!"
