BXBX NOVEL Chapter 970 - Wine, Lust, Avarice, and Pride
The main reason why Malone agreed to meet Zong Yelei was that Zong Yelei had seen Hong Dali before. That must mean he saw Li Nianwei too. Malone was deeply concerned about how Li Nianwei was in real life.
“Alright, yes, great!” The Spiral Galaxy Aristocrat was over the moon. If Malone was satisfied with Zong Yelei, he would have gotten huge benefits. After all, Malone was a High Noble. If he could establish a good relationship, it was even possible for him to become one of the Elders in the future!
Power. Who did not care about climbing the ladder of power?
Hence, the Spiral Galaxy Aristocrat instantly contacted Zong Yelei and received a response. Zong Yelei claimed that he would rush over at top speed.
He accomplished that. Within three minutes, Zong Yelei arrived on a thunder gull prepared for him by the Green Phoenix.
“Zong Yelei, Spiral Galaxy Aristocrat, here to see Sir Malone!” Once Zong Yelei got off the thunder gull, he hurried over and knelt down in front of Malone. “I wish Sir Malone the best of health and luck!”
It was not every day that he could bootlick a High Noble.
“Haha, not bad.” Malone inspected Zong Yelei and nodded. “Hm, let’s not waste time. The news about Hong Dali here was reported by you, right?”
“Yes. It was me!” Zong Yelei was proud.
Hehe, even though I lost to Hong Dali once before, it doesn’t matter anymore now that I’ve established connections with a High Noble. So what if I lost a little face? I’m about to have a bright future! If I win over Sir Malone’s heart, he may even bring me to the High Noble headquarters. Hahaha, in that case, who else but the High Nobles can make me afraid in the entire Dimu Star Sector?
By then, I’ll be the boss everywhere I go!
My humbleness now is a sacrifice for my bright future!
“Hm, not bad.” Malone was satisfied. Then, he asked, “Let me ask you this. There’s a woman called Li Nianwei by Hong Dali’s side, right? Is she on this planet now?”
Hong Dali was an absolute genius who challenged the Tower of Trials. Even though he was Malone’s target this time, that was only for business.
Why would Malone be so passionate about official business? What he truly cared about was Li Nianwei. This was personal, and it was his priority.
“She, she is!” Once he heard that from Malone, Zong Yelei’s eyes lit up. He had been preparing for this! What was his goal in contacting Malone? One was to blow the whistle and establish a connection with Malone. The other was to make Hong Dali suffer.
That Xiao Shengzhe too, he dared to leave me behind?! This time, just wait to see what I’ll do to you!
“I saw Li Nianwei before. She’s indeed beautiful. Even my eyes can’t find any faults with her.” Zong Yelei excitedly said, “Furthermore, there are a few beauties like Li Nianwei by Hong Dali’s side. Let me count... 1, 2, 3, 4... At least four. There are a few others who are less impressive, but still not bad.”
“Oh?” Once he heard that, Malone’s eyes lit up even brighter!
Li Nianwei by herself was already the most perfect woman Malone had seen in all these years. Who would have expected that there were a few women like her next to Hong Dali?! Good, great, that was wonderful!
“Are you telling me the truth? You’re not lying to me, right?” Malone laughed and gave Zong Yelei a friendly pat. “Then, tell me about it. When you saw Li Nianwei, was she wearing any makeup?”
Makeup was a crucial problem.
Countless women looked drop-dead gorgeous with makeup on. However, once they removed their makeup, they looked worse than ghosts. Therefore, Malone had to check first.
“No makeup. Definitely no makeup!” Zong Yelei excitedly said, “That Li Nianwei is a true natural beauty! Pure natural! There’s not even a hint of perfume on her, just her natural scent! That face, that body, amazing!” Zong Yelei talked nonstop about women. He did not dare to find Malone empty-handed. Therefore, once he left the cave, he immediately contacted the spacecraft and obtained information about all the women around Hong Dali.
He only recognized one other person, Tang Muxin. She was part of the winning team in the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars. She also collaborated with Li Nianwei in a performance on Sing! Milky Way.
Zong Yelei said, “There’s one more called Tang Muxin. Sir Malone, you might not have noticed her, but she was the one playing the accompaniment for Li Nianwei on Sing! Milky Way. She’s apparently an ice elemental revolving mage. She’s a beauty comparable to Li Nianwei!”
“Hahahahaha! Good. Well done, you did your homework!” Malone had little hobbies. His life was filled with four things: wine, lust, avarice, and pride. Amongst the four, lust was undoubtedly his priority.
In his heart, it would be a waste for men if they did not make use of their “weapons” given to them at birth.
Therefore, apart from money, his favorite thing in life was women! He would feel uncomfortable every night if he did not have one or two women by his side.
Now that he heard of another perfect beauty by Hong Dali’s side apart from Li Nianwei, he was pleasantly surprised!
“Hm, from the looks of things, I have to hurry there and take a look. Oh right.” Thinking up to this point, Malone pointed at the freshly captured Black-level Honorary Aristocrat Ye Huayun and asked, “By your standards, how do Li Nianwei and Tang Muxin compare to this woman?”
Descriptions could be vague. But comparisons showed the true story.
“There’s no way she can compare. Absolutely no way!” Zong Yelei understood Malone entirely, and he tried to please him. “It’s like Heaven and Earth! Although this woman is a rare beauty too, when compared to Li Nianwei, hehe, that’s a bit...”
Although this woman looked like a new toy that Malone had just captured, Zong Yelei still dared not insult her. He just laughed it off.
However, was that not obvious enough? Malone was excited and laughed. “Since that’s the case, let’s head there now. Aiya, we have to wrap up the official business soon. Otherwise, it’ll feel annoying. Hm, let me see where Hong Dali is.”
He took out the tiny device. Soon, a miniature projection of Faerie Star was shown. Malone said, “Search for Hong Dali, Black and White-level Double Aristocrat.”
Soon, the tiny dots on the projection disappeared, leaving behind only one black and white-colored dot.
The projection then zoomed in on the area. Within a few seconds, Hong Dali’s location was displayed. It was a peaceful lake with beautiful surroundings. The blue sky and green grass served as the backdrop to the picture-perfect scenery.
“Hm, seems like it’s not far from here. Let’s go.” As a High Noble, Malone did not have to request for an animal ride from the Green Phoenix. He summoned his spacecraft and began his journey.
...
On Faerie Star, not far away from the Bear cave.
This place was around 500 meters from the Bear cave. It was a natural lake on the mountain where the Green Phoenix was.
The lake had a diameter of around 2,000 meters. The source of the water was underground, and there was plenty of fish here. According to the Bear Child, Xiao Hei, his mama always brought him here to catch fish in the past. Those were happier times before his mama fell sick.
The sun was warm now, while the air carried the fragrance of the earth and the mist from the water. Every breath they took was filled with a soft hint of sweetness.
“Hehe, Dali, it’s so comfortable here!” Tang Muxin sat on a huge rock next to the lake, kicking the water with her bare feet. “A good environment makes a huge difference. Aiya, this place makes you want to stay here and never leave.”
“Hehe, it’s indeed comfortable.” Li Nianwei sat on the rock too. She watched Hong Dali as he hugged the Bear Child and played with him in the water. “Young Master, the fish here seems to be biting my feet, hehe.”
The water was indeed clear, and Li Nianwei was right. Countless small fish swarmed around the group. Some curious ones even nibbled on their feet. The tickling sensation amused everyone.
“Hehe, it’s always so relaxing when we follow the Young Master around.” Li Yang sighed, showing his satisfaction. He lied on the rock and placed his feet in the water, allowing the small fish to nibble on his feet. “Bathing in the sunlight, letting small fish nibble on my feet. Aiya, this life is too comfortable. Haha!”
Everyone played to their hearts’ content. Finally, Hong Dali was satisfied and climbed out of the lake. The Bear Child was already worn out and panting. Hong Dali, on the other hand, was invigorated. He loved playing in the water like children...
After they were done swimming, everyone rested on the shore. A few lackeys searched for wild fruits for their dinner while Hong Dali and the girls stayed to prepare the campsite. Everyone was tasked with something and enjoyed the fun atmosphere.
Just then, a very disruptive noise was heard...
Vroom vroom vroom vroom—
A spacecraft’s engine noise intruded. Hong Dali raised his head and wondered. “Eh? Aren’t spacecrafts banned on this planet? What’s going on? Did they fly here? To find me?”
It was a fully silver and white-colored spacecraft, and it looked like one that belonged to a Galaxy Aristocrat. However, there was a distinct difference. On the body of the spacecraft, there were golden petal designs! They joined together at the front of the spacecraft and formed the shape of a flower. It was a strange flower that Hong Dali had never seen before.
“This is... the Dimu Flower?” Jiang Qianxue liked to read, so she recognized the design. Once she saw the symbol, Jiang Qianxue jumped up and yelled, “Dali, a High Noble from Dimu Star Sector is here!”
