Chapter 218: Bo Yi

Hmm? Where did the missile come from? Isn't there no one left on Zhu Shen Xing?

She turned around in surprise; at some point, her back was unexpectedly full of people.

Leading them was a female with a kind face, about fifty years old; although she had wrinkles, one could still tell she must have been a peerless beauty in her youth.

Behind her stood a row of males of various ages; they were likely her husbands.

On the female's left and right sides stood a male and a female, both of extraordinary beauty.

Looking at the male beside the female, Ye Xi'an narrowed her eyes; this pink-haired male seemed somewhat familiar.

Just as Ye Xi'an was sizing up the pink-haired one, that pink-haired individual was also sizing her up, his eyes revealing fervor.

If it weren't for the current urgent situation, Ye Xi'an felt this pink-haired one could have charged over.

"Marshal!" Ji Jiangci exclaimed.

Ye Xi'an blinked, realizing that the female Ji Jiangci was shouting at must be this one.

She is the Marshal of Zhu Shen Xing, Bo Yi? Ji Jiangci's words made Ye Xi'an suddenly recall the female transformed from the dream grass she had seen on Zhimeng Xing; indeed, she bore some resemblance to the person before her.

Bo Yi smiled and nodded, but she didn't look at Ji Jiangci; instead, she kept her gaze fixed on Ye Xi'an, her eyes full of admiration.

Her speech was neither rushed nor slow, listening to it made one feel at ease: "We've come back to help you."

Bo Yi was still somewhat shocked; just a few hours earlier, she had sensed that this insect tide was unusually fierce, and she quickly calculated with her mental power, but no matter how she worked it out, the conclusion was that fighting again would mean death.

Therefore, to preserve their strength, she immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the Mission Center; she planned to lead everyone to the world of Yuangu Shoushi to rebuild their home.

After arriving in Yuangu Shoushi, Bo Yi continued to constantly check the situation on Zhu Shen Xing.

As long as the insects had not completely taken over Zhu Shen Xing, she could keep monitoring its situation.

In the image projected by the Light Brain, first Lin Zhi Jing and some other males fought desperately to resist; then the scene shifted, and everyone saw Ye Xi'an.

What was being played was exactly Ye Xi'an controlling giant beasts to counterattack the insects, and even teleporting to rescue Lin Zhi Jing.

They were stunned; how could this be done?

But no one could answer their doubts; seeing the fervor in the Marshal's eyes, they knew the female in the video would be the future new Marshal.

So they came back again.

"Help?" Ye Xi'an pondered the word, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the favor; she never imagined that one day she would be honored to have the Marshal lead all the beastfolk of Zhu Shen Xing to help her.

"Of course, of course," Ye Xi'an said politely.

After a brief exchange, everyone began to fight with all their might.

The energy weapons they had been reluctant to use were now brought out; each shell was worth a fortune, but now they streaked across the sky like meteors, drawing brilliant trails before exploding outside the San Huan.

Inside the San Huan, such overly destructive weapons could not be used, or else reconstruction would be impossible for a long time, and they would have to rely on the beastfolk's abilities to clear the area.

Previously, clearing so many insects would surely have been difficult, but with the addition of the giant centipede, the task became much easier.

Even later, Ye Xi'an could still simultaneously control several giant insect beasts.

As the battle neared its end, the sky no longer held clouds of insect nests; only scattered remnants of insects lingered, and when the last insect was wiped out, Ye Xi'an, while simultaneously controlling ten giant insect beasts, triggered their self-destruction.

Everything had ended; the unprecedentedly terrifying insect invasion was, however, the battle that ended the fastest.

Everyone knew this was due to the appearance of one person; they all looked toward Ye Xi'an, their eyes full of admiration.

Bo Yi looked at the crowd's reaction, knowing she should step down, but that was fine; she had long wanted to go on vacation.

Bo Yi walked up to Ye Xi'an and affectionately stroked her soft hair: "Good child."

"Are you willing to become the Marshal of Zhu Shen Xing?"

Everyone was shocked; the Marshal was preparing to abdicate?

Meanwhile, Yi Yang and the others were so excited they were about to faint; Yi Yang, at a loss, grabbed Lin Zhi Jing's sleeve like a lovestruck fool: "Wow, our wife is going to become Marshal—doesn't that mean we'll become the Marshal's lady?"

Bo Jing was also a bit nervous; his mind was filled with a demonic voice: "Who would dare think, who would dare think, the wicked wife becoming Marshal."

That little video really is harmful!

Just as everyone thought Ye Xi'an would say yes, she instead startled and stepped back two paces.

Her staggering steps were downright more terrifying than seeing the insects.

What a joke—she now has space, she has ability; buying a house and happily living out her life as a salted fish would be wonderful—how could she possibly want to be a beast of burden, working every day?

She made a grimace and waved her hand: "No, no, I don't want to be Marshal at all."

Ji Jiangci hurried forward, leaning close to Ye Xi'an's ear and saying: "Honey, that's the Marshal—if we became Marshal, we could eat whatever we wanted and live wherever we pleased!"

Ye Xi'an also pulled him over: "We're fine as we are—why become Marshal? Have you be the one, anyway I'm not doing it."

"Sigh~," Ji Jiangci stepped back with a look of frustrated disappointment.

Bo Yi couldn't understand how anyone wouldn't want to be Marshal, but she truly had no one to entrust as heir; her gaze shifted, landing on her son.

She called to the pink-haired behind her: "Lan Qi, come over."

Bo Yi pulled Lan Qi close and tempted Ye Xi'an: "This is my son Lan Qi, his beast form is an orchid mantis; if you can inherit the Marshal's position, I'll let him join your family."

Her son Lan Qi is the most handsome male on Zhu Shen Xing; no female could resist such temptation.

Lan Qi was originally angry at his mother for using him as a bargaining chip, but if the other party were Ye Xi'an, it wouldn't be so bad.

Thinking back to the scene of their first meeting, one could imagine Ye Xi'an had already been eyeing his beauty; his shy face flushed with a hint of pride, and he waited coquettishly for Ye Xi'an to say yes.

Ye Xi'an watched Lan Qi's ever-changing expression, the corner of her mouth twitching; she thought, do I look like some lecher?

She admitted that this Lan Qi was stunningly beautiful, but compared to a free life, handsome men are merely life's garnish; if she were to sacrifice herself for a man, Ye Xi'an felt she would have lived in vain.

"Sorry, your son is excellent and handsome, but I really don't want to be Marshal, and I have no interest in him."

"There are still some matters at home; I'm leaving first."

What "home affairs" obviously was Ye Xi'an's excuse; the buildings outside the First Ring of Zhu Shen Xing had almost been devoured, leaving nothing to call home.

"Wait!"
