Uti and Qingyan
The two consecutive reports made Uti furious. He first vented his anger on the table before jumping off his high chair and pacing back and forth on the ground.
In order to hide his short stature, the expensive gold-threaded cedar table and chairs in the Golden Tent had all been specially modified. The three-meter-tall chair even required the use of an automatic elevator. Uti sat there like a dignified judge in a courtroom, high and mighty, looking down on all life.
Uti loved the feeling of looking down on others. Perhaps this was a common problem of short people. They cared a great deal about the height of others, afraid that they would be looked down upon because of their height.
But today, Uti felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He came to the front of the tent and paced back and forth on his two short legs.
Two generals stood in front of the tent. The taller one was the guildmaster of the Sacred Guild, Duabi, and the shorter one was the commander-in-chief of the security forces, Sosho.
Princess Consort Qingyan sat on the sofa at the side as if nothing had happened. She held a crystal wine glass in her hand, and a pair of snow-white slender thighs were exposed outside her skirt. Her fox-like eyes wandered wantonly over the two valiant and extraordinary generals, like a gentle breeze that tickled one's heart.
On any other day, the two generals would definitely not let go of this opportunity to feast their eyes. After all, Qingyan was known as the most beautiful female of the insectoid race, and she was also the most charming.
Alas, the two generals were in no mood to flirt with Qingyan today. With such a major incident happening, the most important thing was to protect their heads first.
"Was it a human who killed Mengen? And snatched away the Blood Demon Claw? "Uti sternly asked.
The commander-in-chief of the security forces, General Sosho, hurriedly said, "Before Pangnik was destroyed, he sent two videos. Based on the analysis of the images, it was indeed a human ability warrior who did it. His ability is speed, and the first report from the security forces mentioned that he was ambushed by a human."
Uti nodded, somewhat vexed. He then turned to Duabi and asked, "What do you think? This human warrior is of a higher level than Mengen? "
Duabi bowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, Mengen is close to rank seven, and his special ability is unfathomable stealth. Even if he can't defeat his opponent, it's impossible for him to be easily killed. There's something strange about this matter. I've seen the video. The opponent moves at ten thousand meters per second and is at most a high-stage rank four. Logically speaking, as long as Mengen doesn't deliberately reveal an opening, he shouldn't lose. I'm afraid this person is deliberately hiding his cultivation."
"On purpose?" Uti mused. "Just what is his goal? Why did he purposely hide his strength? How did you sneak into our territory? "
The series of questions left Duabi and Sosho dumbfounded. They did not know how to answer. Duabi furrowed his brows in thought for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that he doesn't want to attract our attention, which is why he killed Mengen and stole the Blood Demon Claw before using some sort of strategic weapon that we can't control to destroy half a star system. Alas, he missed a step. We have the strictest reporting system. Before he destroyed the evidence, a large amount of information was already gathered to you through various channels."
Uti lightly nodded, believing that Duabi's analysis made some sense. In truth, Uti had already thought of all this. No one in the insectoid race could compare to Uti in terms of intelligence. The reason he had asked this question was none other than to observe his subject's performance. Duabi's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, clearly better than the one-track minded Sosho.
General Suo Xiao and Duabi had always been at loggerheads. When he saw that Duabi was able to analyze the situation while he himself was in a complete mess, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, this human warrior has an extremely high cultivation and wields a mysterious power that can destroy half a star system. We can't let our guard down against him! I suggest that we immediately send troops to surround and intercept him! It's better to take preventive measures! "
With that, General Sosho smugly laughed, believing that his analysis was very reliable.
To his surprise, Uti rolled his eyes at him and sternly said, "Fool! I don't need you to tell me that! "
General Duabi was even more pleased with himself. As he looked at Sosho, whose face was alternating between green and white, he cheered for Uti from the bottom of his heart.
"You're dismissed!" Uti said without even looking at Sosho.
"Stay here, Duabi. I have something to discuss with you."
Sosho gritted his teeth and walked out of the Golden Tent amidst Uti's disdain and Duabi's malicious laughter. With a heavy stomp of his foot, Sosho left with a gloomy face. A guard who was fawning over him offered him a cloak, but Sosho kicked him several dozen meters away. Thankfully, his ribs were not broken.
Consort Qingyan sat in the Golden Tent, smiling as she watched this scene, her eyes full of deep meaning.
Uti had Duabi take a seat. Having a behemoth like him, who was over two meters tall, standing next to him was very pressuring.
He walked over to Qingyan's side, and Qingyan very skillfully lowered her body, just enough for Uti to stroke her beautiful black hair. This action looked so natural that no one would suspect that Qingyan was deliberately lowering her body because of Uti's height. This simple action should not be underestimated. The reason why Qingyan was able to hold Uti so firmly in her hands was not just because of her beautiful appearance but also because of this seemingly insignificant detail.
Qingyan was a smart woman, and she understood very well what men needed. Aside from love, men hoped to find dignity in front of women. If there was a woman so beautiful that she could make a man dizzy, snuggling up to him like a little bird, she believed that any man would feel a sense of pride and comfort from the bottom of his heart.
Alas, the vast majority of beauties in this world preferred to act recklessly in front of men just because of their looks. They would raise their handsome faces, their faces full of youth and pride, believing that all men should prostrate themselves before their skirts. Alas, they had forgotten that no matter how beautiful a woman was, she was still a subordinate to a man, especially those men with lofty aspirations. Their gazes were always on a faraway place.
Qingyan understood very well what men needed, and she was also willing to lower herself in front of men. Frankly speaking, Uti's appearance had reached the pinnacle of the human world. Any man would not be uglier than him. God was fair. He had given Uti a rare intelligence, but at the same time, he had taken away his last chance to become a handsome man. In truth, Uti could not even be considered a normal man. Even the most wretched man in the world would feel a sense of superiority upon seeing Uti's appearance.
It was this short and ugly man that no words could describe, yet Qingyan was willing to offer him the most delicate and beautiful body of the insectoid race, as well as her dignity. How could Uti not be touched? Being ugly and short had caused Uti to develop a severe sense of inferiority from a young age. He believed that everyone who bowed to him was actually mocking him behind his back. Aside from Qingyan, only Qingyan treated him sincerely in this world, and she was the only person he cared about.
Uti's fingers lightly stroked Qingyan's hair as he gently said, "Yan 'er, I have something to tell Duabi."
Qingyan was a quick-witted woman. Without waiting for him to finish, she knelt before Uti and said, "Qingyan is feeling a little unwell and wishes to return to rest for a while. I ask for permission, my king."
Uti was elated. The most beautiful woman in the world was kneeling before him in front of his vassal, displaying such humility. How could a man not be filled with pride?
Qingyan walked out of the tent and bowed to Uti, who was still inside, her face beaming like a flower. However, when she turned her head, her expression immediately changed. Her smile was still there, but there was now a hint of disdain and treachery in her smile.
Uti naturally had no way of knowing the change on Qingyan's face. He was elated as he watched Qingyan leave, and then he turned his head with a frown.
"The Blood Demon Claw is still immature. Though that human warrior obtained it, he won't immediately consume it. He must reclaim the Blood Demon Claw."
Duabi nodded. "Don't worry, my king. I'll send my subordinates to search with all their might. The moment we find any clues, we'll immediately report back to you."
Uti said, "Send Kikiger, Laresh, and Goxuan. That person's cultivation is probably much higher than what we expected."
Duabi was slightly taken aback, doubtfully asking, "My king, I think it's better to have the Seven Champions stay in the Golden Tent and listen to your orders. There are still others in the Sacred Guild that can be assigned, so there's no need to use your trusted aides."
Uti waved his hand. "That person won't be a threat to the capital for the time being. Besides, I don't trust your subordinates. I heard that a Sacred Warrior's clan was suddenly wiped out a while ago. Is there such a thing? "
Duabi replied, "There's indeed such a thing. The person who was killed was called Howling Moon, a cyan insectoid warrior. However, his cultivation was only at grade 2, making him an insignificant character. My king, you should know that Sacred Warriors often kill each other, and Howling Moon is violent, bloodthirsty, and quite unreasonable. Who knows if he accidentally offended someone?"
Uti sternly said, "I suspect that it was the same person who did it. The reports say that Howling Moon's head was smashed into pieces, and his corpse showed signs of being frozen. When Mengen died, someone used an ice-type ability to seal his neck, such that not even a drop of blood was left from the wound, so there has to be some connection between the two."
Duabi was rather confused. He softly asked, "If this human warrior attacked Tanini Sacred Academy for the Blood Demon Claw, then why did he attack Howling Moon? He's just an insignificant character. "
Uti smiled. He turned on the screen and pulled out a star map. "Before Mengen and Howling Moon were killed, a small town on the borders of our territory was inexplicably destroyed, but there were no traces left behind. If we connect the locations of these three incidents, look."
Duabi followed Uti's finger to the star map, and he could not help but pale in fright!
The three locations formed a line, like an arrow pointing straight at the insectoid capital!
