This is my country! You guys who only kill monsters aren’t allowed in!” Ying Xing shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yuan still explained calmly: “Our Victory Team has also rescued many kind monsters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pet Luo En, Pigumon from Duodaliang Island and its monster companion, now live peacefully on Ai Ran Cheng’s Dishi Islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ying Xing refused to listen, picked up a branch from the ground, and swung it at Zhu Xingtuan’s right leg: “Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xingtuan leaped back to dodge, while Qi Ming reached out with his left hand and seized the branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled faintly, and the baseball in his right hand, trailing a whistling rush of air, struck Ying Xing’s right shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!” Ying Xing let out a pig-like scream; the searing pain in his shoulder twisted his face, and he staggered backward several steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Qi Ming!” Feng Yuan exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming smiled warmly and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Officer Feng Yuan, if you keep indulging this unreasonable brat, he’ll eventually suffer far worse. Giving him a lesson is for his own good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He won’t realize his mistake or reflect and reform unless he’s made to feel real pain—this will spare the world one more antisocial brat. Don’t you agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this circular reasoning left Feng Yuan dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beating him was for his own good—the harder the better. At first glance, it sounded reasonable, even educational—but something felt off…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xingtuan, however, understood Qi Ming’s style perfectly. He said: “But don’t go too far—what if you hurt him badly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karimira: “If you kill him, you just eliminate one more brat. Same result.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yuan: “!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xing clutched the arm Qi Ming had struck; his voice trembled with pain as he screamed: “Mefras! Mefras! Come out and teach them a lesson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mefras!” Zhu Xingtuan and Feng Yuan instantly went on high alert, scanning the surroundings tensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mefras! Mefras! Didn’t you promise me? I gave you Earth—you were supposed to protect my country!” Ying Xing grew desperate, continuing to shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? You not only shelter disk lifeforms but also collude with aliens to betray Earth? Impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming swung his bat again, delivering another heavy blow to Ying Xing’s left shoulder, making him howl again: “Where’s Mefras? Shout louder—call him out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he shows up, I’ll kill him—and the disk lifeforms too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xing screamed again, hoping his protector would appear and punish Qi Ming—but the sensible Mefras had already fled ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has he even really seen Mefras? Or is he just plain stupid?” Karimira doubted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xing’s face flushed crimson, trembling violently; suddenly, he charged at Qi Ming like a madman, swinging his fists: “I’ll fight you to the death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming sidestepped effortlessly, then brought the baseball bat down hard on Ying Xing’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wah!” Ying Xing crashed face-first into the mud; searing pain exploded across his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he lifted his head, his face was caked with dirt and grass clippings—he looked like a drowned, ragged chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack…” At that moment, a sound came from the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xing thought Mefras was finally acting—but when he looked up, the fleeting joy on his face turned to sheer terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue disk lifeform on the shelf had begun to move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sprouted octopus-like tentacles and sprayed fire at the animals he had raised!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames surged like living things through the dry hay; the goat let out a piercing “Baa—!” as the fire licked its hooves, kicking wildly and crashing into the fence; the sparrows in their cage flapped desperately, their feathers curling and blackening in the sparks…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to become the owner of a barbecue stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the ruined hut and the suffering animals he had painstakingly cared for, a wave of crushing regret exploded in his heart; his face contorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to smash the disk lifeform with stones, as in the original plot, to avenge the animals—but now he was too injured to move, forced to watch helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overcome by rage, he nearly fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Karimira, now energized, yanked off Qi Ming’s brass-tipped belt and lashed it hard across Ying Xing’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A searing pain shot through him; Ying Xing screamed again, fully conscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming turned to Feng Yuan: “The animals are innocent—go save them.”\u003C\u002Fp>",744,"2026-06-19T16:40:34.912Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","180abd43acba2db02c7aceb10beda5ee1f8486df06bc9b3fbf89ba196d078e9f","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-535","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-533",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
