The mecha controlled by Long Yuan was peculiar in shape. It suddenly stabbed at the side of the unresponsive monster and pierced the monster’s arm. The monster let out an ear-splitting roar, and his red eyes glared at the mecha Long Yuan was driving. A trickle of blue blood came from his injury, and the white bones under the wound could almost be seen.

Long Yuan sat expressionlessly in the driver’s seat, looking at the huge green monster’s face, occupying almost the whole plane on the hologram in front of him. He only wanted to get it over with quickly. If not because he was worried that the use of weapons other than lightsabers would hurt the dwellings outside the forest around the palace or the people in the palace behind him, he would have directly shelled the monster.

The monster glared at Long Yuan with a touch of resentment in his eyes. Just now, although the bodyguards also left scars on him, they were only little scratches. None of them like the injury inflicted by the man in front of him. With just one blow, the monster was hurt very seriously. If his body had not been tough, he was afraid that his whole arm, including half of his body, would have been cut off.

The monster did not dare to underestimate the man that had just arrived. Although he wanted to leave the planet quickly, this human dared to hurt him so badly.

The monster’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the blood red light in his eyes became more and more intense. This man provoked his anger, he wanted to kill this man before leaving the planet.

The monster, who had been eager to leave, was no longer in a hurry. He pinched his claws, and the part of his arm that was originally pierced by Long Yuan’s sword recovered at the speed visible to the naked eye. He bared his sharp fangs at Long Yuan, and then the sharp claws on his fingertips extended longer, almost turning into ten slightly curved swords.

The huge green body stopped for a moment in mid air, and then dived towards the jetblack machine armor. The long, sharp and sword like claws twinkled with cold light under the sun. The monster raised his arm and sped straight towards Long Yuan.

The green figure of the monster turned into a fuzzy shadow, only his afterimages could be seen. The monster’s fierce eyes were staring directly at the black mecha parked in the air, but when he attacked it, the jetblack mecha disappeared in front of him.

The sharp claws of the monster only caught the rapidly surging wind at that moment, and couldn’t even catch the shadow of the jetblack mecha. The monster’s fierce eyes suddenly widened. He quickly glanced to his front, top, left and right, but found no sign of the jetblack mecha. A little doubt flashed in his eyes. How did the man who was about to attack disappear in front of him?

Was it behind him?

The blood red eye of the monster darted around several times, and he suddenly turned around. But in that moment, he realized his vision had deviated. Before he could feel the pain, his head and his body were separated. The last image in his eyes was the fountain of blue spurting from his body that had lost its head, and then his world fell into a gray and dark place.

After cutting off the head of the monster, Long Yuan’s mecha flashed again under his manipulation. While the body and head were falling, Long Yuan split the head of the monster that had lost its light in his eyes with his sword in half.

It created a rain of blue falling from the sky. The blue blood splashed on the other two monsters, leaving blue spots on their army green skin.

The two monsters, who were fighting fiercely with the bodyguards pestering them and wanted to break through the siege, suddenly felt the coolness from the ‘raindrops’ on their own body. They looked up and saw the broken body of their companion falling down from the air.

And that jetblack mecha shone in the air like the God of Death, or more like a sharp sword with a broken edge standing in the air. Although they were quite far away, they could also feel the killing intent from the mecha.

The jetblack mecha that held a lightsaber dripping blue blood, slightly bent down to look at the two monsters below.

The two monsters below immediately felt a chill on their backs.

Long Yuan controlled the mecha and held his lightsaber up. Only by killing these monsters quickly could he continue to find Ye Shao in peace. Moreover, his face was beginning to tense because of this uneasiness.

Long Yuan controlled the mecha and flew towards the monsters below. He must fight and resolve this quickly!

The sun’s rays began to tilt and warm orange light filled half the sky.

The sun had become the color of orange and from a distance, the light around it seemed a little fuzzy. The light clouds floating around the orange sphere were dyed with a transparent orange gauze.

A large area of grass was splattered with a blue viscous liquid. The pliable grass leaves couldn’t bear the burden and bent at the stem. A drop of blue liquid dripped from the tip of the blade. A solemn black figure flashed on the smooth surface of the liquid. The evening night shook gently, and it finally splashed on the ground.

The jetblack mecha thrust the lightsaber into the ground heavily, and there were several large green meat pieces with clean cuts around. The bodyguards who were originally surrounded now controlled the mecha and stood far away, showing jaw dropping expressions on their faces and looking at the jetblack mecha standing in the middle of the scattered green meat pieces.

His Highness was so terrifying!

Their eyes simply couldn’t keep up with his movements. Only in a few blinks of an eye, one of the monsters that could only be contained by so many of them was killed and became a cold corpse. Another monster originally wanted to attack the prince from behind when he killed the monster, but it was killed before its claws even neared the mecha driven by His Royal Highness.

The jetblack mecha moved once, pulled out the lightsaber that was inserted into the ground, swung it several times in midair to shake off the residual blue blood on it.The giant mechanical hand took back the lightsaber and attached it back to its waist.

Then it turned and walked in the direction of the palace gate, gradually switching from walking to running.

The bodyguards around did not dare to block Long Yuan, as they all made way for him. They watched as the jetblack mecha reflecting a glow of red ran past them. Then a dazzling light flashed, and the jetblack mecha vanished and was replaced with the slender figure of Long Yuan running and a small dog trotting along beside.

Xuan Feng trotted next to Long Yuan. From time to time, he looked up, worried and watched the Long Yuan who was sprinting forward with a taut expression. Just now, Long Yuan…activated the mind manipulation mode located next to the operation interface.

Mind manipulation was one of the most distinct parts of the mecha that was given by the researchers who designed it. It could be said that there was only one mecha that could be operated by mind manipulation in the whole empire. Although after starting the mind manipulation mode, the mecha would be able to be synchronized with the driver’s mind to the greatest extent, this would also greatly drain the energy of the driver. Not all people could use mind manipulation as they liked. Although Long Yuan’s mind power was very strong, he would definitely still feel a bit uncomfortable now that he had just finished solving these monsters with this ability in such a hurry.

Why would Long Yuan be so eager to finish off those monsters?

Xuan Feng’s steps slightly paused. Could it be that something had happened to little Ye Shao?

※※※

A small figure came from afar. The white hoodie was dirty, and with the pink lips, which were now slightly frowned, a pair of big black eyes brimming with aggrieved tears said, “Baby… Baby can’t find Mommy.”

After following the bad uncle to the gates of the palace, he did not see his Mommy, so he resolutely left the bad uncle to fight with the monsters. It was the bad uncle’s fault since he always kept him away from his Mommy. And didn’t Mommy tell Baby that Baby could never reveal his identity? He didn’t mean to leave the bad uncle. Well, yes, baby definitely did not do it on purpose. o(￣￣o#)

However, after wandering around the Imperial Palace, he still could not find any trace of Ye Shao. What’s more, no one answered him no matter how many times he called for his Mommy. His two round eyes were covered with tears and became red.

The baby caught Long Yuan, who stopped in his steps after seeing him. Then he grabbed the hem of Long Yuan’s clothes and looked up at Long Yuan with red eyes. “Wu wu, if you can find Mommy, Baby will never call you bad uncle anymore. Baby will call you Dad. Baby wants Mommy. Where is Mommy, wuu…” The little man said and began to cry. He couldn’t hold his tears anymore, and they finally rolled down from his eyes.

His body was a trembling mess from crying and sobbing, even his small nose turned red.

“Don’t worry, I will find Ye Shao” Long Yuan bent down and picked up the baby. After hearing the baby say that he couldn’t find Ye Shao, his heart sank. But holding onto a glimmer of hope that Ye Shao would still be in the palace, Long Yuan carried the baby and ran into the palace.

The baby stretched out two small hands tightly wrapped into fists and hugged Long Yuan’s neck. Then he nuzzled against it, “Mn, we must find Baby’s mommy!” 

The baby’s originally uneasy heart was strangely calming down when carried by Long Yuan.

Although this bad uncle was always bullying Baby, and Baby did not want to admit it, Long Yuan is actually the only person he believed in besides his Mommy. (vv )

The baby stopped crying while thinking about it. He pouted and held Long Yuan even tighter.
