CHAPTER 407: CHAPTER 240: CHAOS, FLOWER, SWORDFISH, ENCHANTING (TWO IN ONE)_2

Author, are you out of ideas? How dare you write this kind of plot?

Bah!

Very soon, the spaceship floated above the forest. Charming Eyes excitedly darted out of the cabin door, followed closely by Luanyan and Flower Eye, while Qin Shou and Swordfish Eye stayed aboard the spaceship.

Charming Eyes roamed recklessly through the forest, naturally attracting the attention of several monsters lurking within.

To these monsters, the Demon Eye Star People were sworn enemies who never let up.

The Demon Eye Star People captured monsters and refined them into puppets. When monsters encountered Demon Eye Star People, they’d either fight if they could, or flee if they couldn’t—always testing their luck before giving up.

When danger approached, the two Five-Eyed Guards naturally resorted to force to subdue the attacking monsters.

...

Inside the spaceship, Qin Shou picked up the communicator and put on a headset.

"Beep... Honorable Master, preliminary analysis suggests that Charming Eyes, as a Six-Eyed Demon, has average strength, likely at Unbreakable Realm Second Star.

Luanyan and Flower Eye have comparable strength. They’re Unbreakable Realm Five-Star Demon Eye Star People, collectively commanding ten Nightmare Level Five-Star monsters, which far outmatches our own lineup. We recommend implementing Plan C..."

Listening to Galatron’s analysis, Qin Shou squinted slightly, contemplating in silence.

The two Five-Eyed Demon Guards are incredibly strong and stick to Charming Eyes’ side like glue.

If I want to silently "replace" Charming Eyes, I’d either have to eliminate these two guards or find a way to distract them.

Neither approach is easily feasible; both are too risky.

Thus, I’ll have to follow Galatron’s suggestion and go with Plan C.

While thinking this through, a command came from Charming Eyes inside the spaceship.

"You two, come here and help me carry some flowers!"

"Charming Eyes Miss, please wait, we’re coming right away."

Swordfish Eye quickly regained composure and dragged the startled Qin Shou out of the cabin door, wearing a forced smile. They carried the strange black flowers designated by Charming Eyes into the spaceship.

Before long, Charming Eyes lost interest in the black forest, and the group resumed their journey.

As always, Qin Shou and Swordfish Eye remained on guard duty.

"Liang Yan, did you notice? This seems to be Miss Charming Eyes’ first time venturing out."

Swordfish Eye whispered to Qin Shou, speaking in hushed tones.

Qin Shou nodded and suddenly asked: "Hey, Swordfish Eye—no, Dead Fish Eye, why do you think that even though Luanyan and Flower Eye are Five-Eyed Demons like Charming Eyes, they’re merely guards while she’s the master?"

On Demon Eye Planet, among individuals of the same level, there’s typically no hierarchy.

Swordfish Eye froze for a moment. "Uh... I suppose Miss Charming Eyes spent a fortune hiring those two adults?"

Qin Shou sneered, "They clearly said earlier that they’re Miss Charming Eyes’ most loyal guards. Do you even understand what loyalty means?"

Swordfish Eye seemed struck by realization, shocked suddenly.

"You mean... Miss Charming Eyes is possibly... a Six-Eyed..."

"Shhh!"

Qin Shou gestured for silence, cutting off Swordfish Eye mid-sentence.

"Keep it down. Knowing too much won’t do us any good."

Swordfish Eye immediately nodded. "Right, right, we don’t know anything."

Just as the words left his mouth, Charming Eyes suddenly stood up.

"You two, I’m hungry. Prepare some food."

"Absolutely, Miss Charming Eyes! We’ll get right on it."

This time, Swordfish Eye became even more subservient, rushing to do everything and fearing Qin Shou might try to intervene.

Serving a Six-Eyed Lord is an honor of a lifetime for me, Swordfish Eye. No one can take this privilege away!

Qin Shou, idly leaning against the side, folded his arms with an amused smirk.

Well then, this guy’s quite hardworking.

I’ve been rambling all this time just to slack off.

...

The disc-shaped spaceship was undeniably fast. The journey, originally meant to take only three days, dragged into the fifth day due to Charming Eyes’ curious whims prolonging the stops along the way. By now, they were finally approaching the Mo Lu Border.

Over these past few days of observation, Qin Shou finally made peace with a certain fact.

She’s just here for fun!

Despite being a Six-Eyed Demon and middle-class noble, Charming Eyes personally took part in the mission to hunt down the Drue Planet rebels. This involvement naturally triggered unnecessary suspicion from the Three Great Forces, prompting her to disguise herself as a low-class Five-Eyed Demon noble.

Given Charming Eyes’ innate curiosity about everything, Qin Shou soon spotted an opportunity.

"Hey, Luanyan and Flower Eye—are those Two-Eyed Demons? Why are their faces so pale?"

In the control room, Charming Eyes put aside a recently caught adorable monster and stared curiously at the virtual screen, where two Drue Star People appeared.

"Miss Charming Eyes, those are Drue Star People," Luanyan explained.

Charming Eyes tilted her head in thought. "Drue Star People? I’ve heard that their body cells are extraordinarily unique, capable of mimicking the powerful physical forms of various monsters. Is that true?"

"That’s correct, Miss Charming Eyes. Drue Star People indeed possess this ability..."

While Luanyan explained, Qin Shou stroked his chin and signaled to Swordfish Eye.

"Swordfish Eye, our chance has arrived," he murmured.

Swordfish Eye scratched his head in confusion: "Liang Yan, what chance do you mean?"

Qin Shou pointed at the virtual screen. "Judging by her expression, Miss Charming Eyes seems quite intrigued by the Drue Star People. Wouldn’t you say this is our chance?"

Hearing this, Swordfish Eye quickly caught on, his eyes lighting up.

"Of course! How could I not think of that, stupid me. If we keep Miss Charming Eyes entertained, maybe she’ll agree to let us join the Six-Eyed Family!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go."

"Alright, alright."

Swordfish Eye nodded hastily and carefully entered the control room.

"Miss Charming Eyes, why don’t we capture those two Drue Star People and let you observe how they transform?" Swordfish Eye fawned.

Charming Eyes clapped joyfully. "Sure, sure! Capture them for me—keep one for transformations I can watch, and dissect the other to see how their bodies differ from ours."

Qin Shou shuddered internally. Oh wow, she’s into dissection. What a bold personality.

Seeing Charming Eyes’ interest piqued, Swordfish Eye immediately volunteered to act.

But Luanyan and Flower Eye quickly stood up.

"Miss Charming Eyes, let us handle this..."

"No way. You two must stay here to guard Miss Charming Eyes personally. Leave those two Drue Star People to us instead."

Qin Shou abruptly stepped forward to interrupt, provoking irritation in Luanyan and Flower Eye.

A lowly Four-Eyed Demon daring to butt in? You’ll pay back for this later.

Charming Eyes puffed her cheeks, "Luanyan and Flower Eye, stay here. If you handle them, it’ll be too easy, leaving nothing fun to watch."

She then pointed at Swordfish Eye and Qin Shou.

"You two, go capture them."

"Understood, Miss Charming Eyes! Rest assured, we won’t disappoint."

Swordfish Eye beamed and dragged Qin Shou out of the spaceship.

"Woo woo..."

The duo leapt from the spaceship, the winds screeching against their cheeks, failing to suppress Swordfish Eye’s excitement.

"Hahaha! Liang Yan, this mission’s a win for us! Once we’re back, we’ll have the chance to join the Six-Eyed Family..."

Swordfish Eye’s fantasies of joining the prestigious Six-Eyed Family grew more obscene with his grin.

Seeing this, Qin Shou couldn’t help but remind him: "Swordfish Eye, you’re flying off course. Those two Drue Star People are on the left."

"Huh? Oh! Turn, turn back..."

...

At the base of the mountain range, two pale-faced Drue Star People rested under the shade of trees.

"Mo Head, look at that spaceship," one said.

"Raven, I’ve got a bad feeling... Someone’s coming down, and it seems we’re their target."

"Are they Demon Eye Star People or Four-Eyed Demons?"

"What do they want...?"

The two stood alert, only to see four beams of white light piercing the sky. Four giant beasts roared as they crashed to the ground, charging at them.

"Damn it, attacking Drue Star People within the Mo Lu Border—those Demon Eye Star People must be mad!"

"Mo Head, these are Nightmare Level Three-Star monsters. They’re tough—let’s retreat..."

Raven’s face grew grim, but as he attempted to flee, several energy beams erupted, enveloping their escape path.

"No choice—fight!"

Mo Head gritted his teeth as water-blue scales rapidly covered his body, his size swelling into a massive blue python over a hundred meters long in mere moments.

Raven wasted no time, unleashing Flame Power across his body, igniting a fiery Flame Tornado, transforming into a scorching red python that spiraled upward.

"Roar!!"

The crimson python’s mouth condensed an orb of searing Flame Energy, intertwining with the blue python’s Extreme Cold Energy to form a giant ice-fire ray over twenty meters in diameter, surging toward Qin Shou and Swordfish Eye who had yet to land.

"Watch out!"

Before he could summon his Monster Puppets, Qin Shou’s face went pale and he pushed Swordfish Eye aside, putting himself in the path of the Ice and Fire Energy.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, the dazzling Ice and Fire Energy exploded in mid-air, obliterating Qin Shou completely.

Swordfish Eye halted his retreat, a look of lingering fear on his face.

Close call, close call—thank goodness for the Big Fool beside me. Otherwise, I’d be half-dead if not worse.
