Chapter 155: Just a Different Form

~8 min read 1,468 words

"What? Negotiation? Evelyn?"

On Aolake's Bridge, Xisi, who had been handling official business, looked up in astonishment, his pen still in hand as if he had forgotten to set it down, continuing his signing motions.

Projected opposite, Xiulun showed no trace of the usual pirate harshness; at this moment he was being perfectly earnest, truly like a Battalion Commander of the Empire, nodding solemnly and respectfully:

"Yes, it's Evelyn of the Death God Army."

Many in the Empire may not know the Death God Army, let alone Evelyn.

But as a pirate chief who has dealt with countless Alien Forms, Xiulun knows it all too well.

Facing Xisi's bewilderment, he immediately gave a definitive answer to the doubt in Xisi's mind.

Xisi, who had previously been too lazy to bother with the Alien Forms below, paused slightly at the words, then set his steel pen down, thought for a moment, and chose to stand.

Then, in front of everyone, Xisi waved his hand, a mass of black thunder‑light rose, and he instantly teleported into the interior of the ark.

Watching Xisi, who a second ago was on the Bridge and whose rear foot now appeared directly before him, Xiulun could only silently mutter two feeble complaints in his mind that Xisi was becoming less human, then plastered an even more deferential, even obsequious smile on his face and warmly saluted Xisi.

"Where is Evelyn?"

Getting straight to the point, Xisi asked, and Xiulun quickly bent over, pointing to a gate ahead that was being guarded by the last few spirit warriors.

On the ground before the gate lay several nether constructs; seeing the Soul Stones inside them burned clean, Xisi frowned slightly at the waste.

"Isn't this ruining the grand gift I prepared for my Color Devil?"

Xisi helplessly glanced at Xiulun, whose face turned pale; he quickly straightened up and stared wildly at the spirit warriors opposite.

Knowing this, Xiulun couldn't be blamed; Xisi had to withdraw his gaze, and then, without even acknowledging the terrified, wary spirit warriors opposite, walked straight toward the Dadian.

Xiulun hurried to follow, along with the many pirates and mortal soldiers nearby.

And these pirates and mortal soldiers, seeing Xisi actually materialize before them at this moment, immediately burst into even more fervent gazes.

After all, with hundreds of millions of troops and thousands of warships, even if all belong to one legion, for the vast majority of ordinary crew and soldiers, catching a glimpse of Xisi is as unlikely as ascending to heaven.

Thus, although Xisi ignored the surrounding spirit warriors, the pirates and mortal soldiers promptly vied to serve as Xisi's temporary bodyguards.

Then, under Xiulun's increasingly speechless stare, Xisi saw that among the crowd were a few of his former die‑hard followers, now clad in Terminator Power Armor standing beside him, their massive Taogang fangs glowing red—so bright they rivaled two light bulbs—and he had no longer any inner snark left.

"No..."

"What kind of mind‑blowing broth has Xisi fed you with?"

"You all are about to be lured into a dead end by this kid!"

Xiulun felt increasingly powerless inside, yet his expression toward Xisi grew ever more enthusiastic.

He even deliberately stepped forward two paces, intending to command the temporary bodyguards to clear a path.

But the former die‑hard first glanced at Xisi, and only after Xisi gave a casual slight nod did they carry out Xiulun's order.

Xiulun's face showed no change; he could only wear an ever‑brighter smile, as if he wanted to kneel and bow again, fearing that Xisi might glance at him and he would have to lift his head first.

Then, under the watchful guard of the surrounding spirit warriors, Xisi arrived at the gate.

The gate slowly opened amid the spirits' tension, revealing Evelyn's figure before them.

Seeing Evelyn in the projection smile at him with a friendly yet slightly coquettish expression, Xisi blinked and gave her a careful up‑and‑down appraisal.

He then frowned, casting an embarrassed glance toward Kiriman.

"No, 'Sister‑in‑law', why do you have to dress up for me?"

"Also, isn't your chest and split of the skirt opening a bit too big?"

"Seriously, you don't treat a brother like an outsider!"

Although everyone knows that the spirit race and humans are, at least for now, clear, unending enemies.

The cooperation exists only because both sides are busy fighting others, so they've pushed each other down the priority list.

Nevertheless, Xisi couldn't help but follow the teasing toward Kiriman and Evelyn, silently snarking at the scene before him.

Because Evelyn truly is a famed beauty of the galaxy, and now, after Xisi had destroyed several arks in succession, she was forced to lower her head.

She even dressed up, hoping to fully use her beauty to make the young leader who commands countless human Monkeys pause and feel a hint of affection, thereby stopping Xisi's hostile actions.

Evelyn responded as kindly and warmly as possible to Xisi's bewildered gaze, even deliberately stepping forward, letting her clothing cling a bit tighter to her body.

Then, seeing Xisi look at her, his eyes widening and his gaze unabashedly greedy, Evelyn was about to mock him inwardly, but then she saw

Evelyn was stunned; she hadn't expected Xisi, who commands such a massive human army, to be so monkey‑eager!

Behind them, Xiulun and the troops exchanged glances, a bit bewildered, then Xiulun, leading the pirates, clapped first:

"Lord Sisi, direct and decisive, truly lives up to being our model!"

Xiulun clapped vigorously while laughing at the surrounding people, then his gaze swept the crowd; even the Imperial faction among them could only join the applause led by the face‑less pirates ahead.

Then, as Xiulun led a group in flattering Xisi, Xisi's figure passed straight through, under Evelyn's increasingly wide‑eyed astonishment.

Throughout the whole process, Xisi didn't linger a single second beside Evelyn.

Then, amid Xiulun's sudden awkward pause and Evelyn's gradually dawning terror,

Xisi stood behind Evelyn's projection, his gaze blank as he looked at the scene beyond the gate.

Beyond the gate, the Dadian was packed to the brim with countless spirit beings!

And the greed in Xisi's eyes, after fully counting the numbers, rose to its utmost height!

"Evelyn?"

"Does she have the power of my Color Devil?!"

Everyone realized they had misinterpreted, and Xiulun racked his brain on how to spin the preceding flattery

Evelyn's carefully adorned pretty face turned a pallid white.

This wasn't Xisi's first attack on an ark, so Evelyn knew well Xisi's consistent attitude toward the spirit race.

He would spare no cost to send the spirit race to reunite with the evil god Color Devil he himself had created.

And the Color Devil would bestow upon this devout Xisi affection far beyond any other follower.

After all, the Blessings previously invested have now grown to the point of being repaid on a per‑ark basis.

Yifei Lei Ni seemed to have already seen the scene behind, their eyes and even their face full of panic.

The Death God Army, although it pursues the death of the entire Spiritual Clan, seeks to revive the Spiritual Clan Death God through it.

But the premise is that the Spiritual Clan must be prepared, not that they do nothing and are slaughtered cleanly, especially being slaughtered cleanly by Xisi.

After all, each time Xisi sends a Spiritual Clan member to reunite with his Se Jie, the revived Spiritual Clan Death God will have a little less power.

"We did have some misunderstandings before, but we can cooperate."

"As long as you can abandon the slaughter of our clan, we are even willing to help you resist Tai Lun!"

Yifei Lei Ni's anxious voice came immediately, after all, their attitude toward Xisi had improved, not because Xisi exuded any kingly dominance; Yifei Lei Ni was pleased at the sight.

Rather, in this damn galaxy, Xisi has grasped the very root that can subdue hearts.

That is 'Kill'!

In other words, Yifei Lei Ni's 'favor' toward Xisi was born from killing the Spiritual Clan!

Yifei Lei Ni truly fears that Xisi will continue to use the galaxy's real flirtation tactics, continuing to kill!

And Xisi looked at the densely packed Alien Forms before him, as well as the human servants and slaves scattered throughout the Ark.

Finally, he slowly straightened up:

"You will of course help us resist Tai Lun, but..."

"... in another form."

Xisi's mouth twitched into a slight smile as he spoke; Yifei Lei Ni was startled, and although it felt off, driven by hope they still forced themselves to ask:

"What form?"

Xisi's mouth broke into a full grin, then he drew the Red Sword with one hand and lifted the Black Spear with the other, his face radiant:

"In the form of a Color Devil Blessing~"
