CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: SHE BEARS HIS MARK

How could he not like Ruan Ruan?

He wished to be with Ruan Ruan forever, wished to offer all the treasures of the world to her, and wanted to hold her in his heart, carrying her everywhere he went.

His affection for her and possessiveness had long been etched deep into his genes, unable to be changed or erased.

The words "Ruan Ruan" appeared in his mind, quickly conjuring the image of Ruan Ruan from last night, so sweet yet heart-wrenching.

His Adam’s apple moved, and just as Lu Shinian was about to respond, he heard Su Hu roar in fury, "Lu Shinian, you bastard, how dare you mess with my sister!"

Clearly, Su Hu took Lu Shinian’s brief silence as a tacit agreement.

Su Hu no longer restrained himself; his spiritual power surged wildly. His eyes had turned red, his right hand transformed into a tiger’s claw. The sharp claws gleamed coldly under the bright lights as his body agilely and swiftly lunged at Lu Shinian.

Lu Shinian slightly sidestepped, evading Su Hu’s attack.

"No wonder you’re called Su Hu." He raised an eyebrow slightly, "Why? You tigers don’t have as much mane as lions, so you call yourselves the Lion Star Thief Group?"

Su Hu, experiencing an atavistic phenomenon, couldn’t hear what Lu Shinian was saying. He had only one thought in his mind.

Kill the person in front of him and avenge his sister!

The beastified Su Hu was more nimble than usual, and his attacks were more ferocious.

However, Lu Shinian wasn’t to be underestimated. Even in this confined space where he couldn’t use his Mecha, he had the ability to subdue Su Hu.

In the enclosed space, the two engaged in fierce combat.

At the same time, Su Ruan was trying to video call Lu Shinian, but couldn’t connect due to the jamming devices on the Starship.

She also tried calling Su Hu, but it was also unable to connect.

Discussions about the Lion Star Thief Group were buzzing on the Star Network, reportedly the Second Legion was heading this way, aiming to take down the Lion Star Thief Group.

Lu Shinian was on his own brother’s Starship, whether to negotiate or to make an arrest, it was unclear.

But regardless of the possibilities, the final outcome might not be so pleasant.

Su Ruan felt a bit anxious and quickly reached the entrance of the military command center, as expected, she was stopped.

She pressed her lips gently, her brows and eyes were frosty, "Please report, I am Lu Shinian’s wife, Su Ruan, I have something to discuss with the Planet Commander."

Upon hearing the name "Lu Shinian," the guard didn’t dare to delay and respectfully replied, "Please wait a moment."

A few minutes later, Li Wende hurried over, smiling ingratiatingly, "It’s the Commander’s Wife, please come in."

Su Ruan’s attitude was indifferent, following Li Wende inside. Upon reaching the command center, she directly asked, "Where is he?"

Li Wende rubbed his hands and wiped his forehead where non-existent sweat lay, speaking apologetically, "Commander Lu went to the Starship of the Lion Star Thief Group for the sake of our Star River Star."

"It’s my fault for being useless, not being able to provide enough military support for Commander Lu."

"But we’ve already applied for reinforcements, reportedly it will be Zong Yan from the Second Legion coming to support us."

Su Ruan had heard about Zong Yan, the notorious battle fanatic of the Second Legion, who would be wherever there was a fight. However, he was a brute and unreasonable person, not someone easy to deal with.

Su Ruan thought quietly, her brows and eyes growing colder, she directly stated her request.

"I want to go to the Starship of the Star Thief."

"Please prepare a warship for me, Planet Commander."

Li Wende was stunned, clearly having not expected Su Ruan to make such a request.

He didn’t know much about this Commander’s Wife, only that during Commander Lu’s grand wedding, she had publicly fled the wedding, a slap in Commander Lu’s face.

Just from this incident alone, Li Wende thought she must be an unyielding tough person.

That was Commander Lu! If he were a woman, he would have wanted to marry Commander Lu too!

But Su Ruan had fled the wedding, yet to escape on a live broadcast of interstellar proportions, indeed she was a ruthless person among ruthless people from a different perspective.

Such a ruthless person making such a request didn’t seem strange at all?

Yet, the relationship between these two did not appear as bad as the rumors suggested.

Li Wende thought as he responded, "Alright, I will prepare the warship for you, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing these words, Su Ruan quietly exhaled a sigh of relief.

It turns out learning a bit about Lu Shinian’s aura can really intimidate many people.

She thought very satisfied, waiting for Li Wende to prepare the warship, heading to the Lion Star Thief Group’s Starship.

————

On the Lion Star Thief Group’s Starship, Lu Shinian and Su Hu had fought for more than ten rounds.

Su Hu, experiencing an atavistic phenomenon, seemed tireless and unfeeling. Despite having wounds, he continued to attack Lu Shinian recklessly.

Though Lu Shinian struck fiercely, he considered Su Hu was Su Ruan’s older brother and dared not make a lethal move.

Because of this, there was no decisive victory between the two for the time being, the battle turned intense.

Su Hu panted heavily, his clothes torn, revealing muscular arms. His bronze skin made him look extremely wild, with full aggression.

In contrast to his roughness, Lu Shinian wore his military uniform impeccably, even his hairstyle was unaffected, he watched Su Hu calmly with steady breath.

After this bout of battle, Lu Shinian’s spiritual power inadvertently extended outward, the attack power of his 3S spiritual power was more formidable than imagined, almost instantaneously penetrating into Su Hu’s spiritual sea.

Su Hu’s body suddenly stiffened, tensed, seeming to freeze in place.

Darkness seemed to envelop the two, Lu Shinian slightly frowned as a scene appeared in his mind.

Three boys gathered around a newborn covered in blood, seemingly discussing something.

Among the three boys, the only one whose face was clear was the tallest one, his golden hair extremely dazzling. Compared to his roughness now, Su Hu appeared much more naive in the scene, with some youthfulness in his features.

He looked nervously at the baby in the center, the baby’s face chubby and pink, but his clothes were covered in blood, even the chubby face had a trail of blood.

The baby looked innocent and naive, those eyes resembling peach blossoms gazed curiously at the three older brothers, smiling brilliantly.

She stretched out her hand, with chubby little fingers seemingly wanting to grasp something.

Lu Shinian instinctively wanted to reach out to hold the little hand, but before he could, the image abruptly vanished.

"Enough!"

Su Hu shouted loudly, his whole body collapsing to the ground, hurling up a mouthful of blood suddenly.

The smell of blood spread in the enclosed space, Lu Shinian, forcibly kicked out of the spiritual sea, swallowed, his pupils growing deeper.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door from outside.
