Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Blue Star’s Brilliant Civilization Conquers the Interstellar

Ever since Liang He single-handedly defeated the black mist and the Fierce Beast Army, her reputation had spread like wildfire.

Everyone gained a new understanding of Blue Star.

"No wonder Blue Star successfully joined the Federation and gained a voice so quickly. It turns out we were judging a book by its cover and underestimating them."

"To be honest, I think Blue Star civilization is really interesting. Shedding Light on their language alone, they can actually express a whole paragraph of meaning with just four short words, and it’s extremely easy to understand."

"Liang He really has immense power hidden in that tiny body of hers. No wonder she can conquer Beastmen—if they don’t listen, they’ll get beaten up!"

If Liang He heard their discussions, she would probably cry foul. She had never laid a hand on her fluffy friends.

Well, at most, she would tweak an ear, tug a tail, or grab a wing.

For instance, when they refused to take their medicine properly.

"Lanton! Get down here and take your medicine!"

"SCREECH!"

Three days had passed since the fluffy animals fought the Fierce Beasts. Over these three days, administering medicine had been a massive headache every single time.

The most well-behaved among them was naturally the Iron-eating Beast. It could also just be that he was too lazy to struggle.

While the Mojin King Tiger and the Mengji Snow Leopard also resisted taking their medicine, Liang He would simply stick her hand directly into their mouths. Not only did they not dare to bite, but they were also so terrified of scratching her with their fangs that they could only obediently open their mouths wide and swallow the pills.

The Canglan Hunting Eagle alone relied on his advantage of flight, taking to the sky at the slightest provocation and refusing to cooperate. This infuriated Liang He so much that she climbed a tree to grab his wing.

"You still dare to run?"

Having climbed the tree, Liang He only managed to brush the feathers at the very tips of the Canglan Hunting Eagle’s wings; she couldn’t catch him at all.

"SCREECH!"

Flapping his wings, the Canglan Hunting Eagle circled the treetop. His eyes feigned innocence, yet he kept a close watch on Liang He’s every move.

"Dammit. I shouldn’t have washed you so clean. You’re as slippery as an eel."

As Liang He sat high up on a branch, pondering how to trick the Canglan Hunting Eagle into coming down, Huo An happened to arrive with supplies.

"Liang He, what are you doing? It’s dangerous. Come down quickly."

The massive tree was fully two stories high. A fall wouldn’t be fatal, but breaking a leg would be frighteningly easy. Huo An furrowed his brows and walked briskly to the base of the tree, terrified that Liang He might accidentally tumble down. As it turned out, his fears came true.

"Brother Hao, why are you here? I’ll come down right n— Ah!"

Liang He had intended to stand up and climb down the tree, but she lost her footing and plummeted straight down.

"Liang He!"

"SCREECH!"

The Canglan Hunting Eagle, who had been keeping a constant eye on Liang He, instantly dove beneath her and caught her, his heart in his throat.

Additionally, the other fluffy animals who were strolling outside rushed to the base of the tree, more than willing to serve as fleshy cushions just in case the Canglan Hunting Eagle couldn’t save her in time.

"Hehe, be a good boy and take your medicine!"

The moment the Canglan Hunting Eagle’s talons touched the ground, Liang He shoved the medicine straight into his beak. Her small face was plastered with a smug smile.

How could she have actually fallen? She was merely betting that Lanton would fall for it, unable to bear seeing her get hurt.

"Liang He, you actually played a trick on him?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Xu Yi, who had been preparing medicine, hurried over, only to witness the scene of Liang He using herself as bait to force-feed the medicine.

"Doctor Xu, how can you phrase it so harshly? I call this a white lie."

Seeing the Canglan Hunting Eagle’s shocked and aggrieved little expression, Liang He immediately planted a kiss on his forehead and stroked the feathers around his neck.

"Be a good boy, Lanton. If you don’t take your medicine, your injuries won’t heal. Then I’ll be worried about you, and you wouldn’t have the heart to let me worry about you all the time, right?"

Once again guilt-tripping her fluffy friend, Liang He didn’t feel the slightest bit like she was doing anything wrong.

As luck would have it, Lanton completely bought into her routine. He instantly forgot all about Liang He tricking him into taking the medicine, tenderly burying his head in her shoulder and gently wrapping his wings around her.

"By the way, Brother Hao, did you need me for something?"

Huo An, who had also been startled by Liang He’s outrageous maneuver, felt his previously gloomy mood instantly heal. He shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I’m here to drop off your supplies."

With Gali arrested, the transport team had to be investigated from top to bottom. The other service areas were fine, but for Liang He’s side, Huo An felt more at ease delivering the goods personally.

"That’s awesome! Brother Hao, stay and have lunch with us later. I made pork bone and potato stew, as well as braised pork trotters. They smell amazing!"

Liang He hastily asked Hoder to help move the supplies, taking the opportunity to enthusiastically invite Huo An to stay for lunch.

"Alright."

Over the past few days, Huo An had actually been in low spirits. This was especially true because his Beast Form had been photographed and uploaded to the Star Network. Although the Information Security Department had stepped in promptly to block it, he still couldn’t forget the word "monster" that the netizens had used to describe him.

Out of sympathy or fear, his other colleagues were now exceptionally respectful toward him, keeping their distance. Only here with Liang He did he feel like a normal person, no different from anyone else.

But that was only because Liang He didn’t know about the existence of Beastmen, right?

"Liang He, have you... logged onto the Star Network recently?" Huo An accepted the bowl and chopsticks Liang He handed him, lowering his eyes, too afraid to look at her.

"Brother Hao, are you talking about that giant animal that looked like a combination of a flying bird and a fish?"

One soared through the skies, while the other swam through the depths of the sea, yet both characteristics appeared on a single creature. In just a few short minutes, the original poster had earned nearly a million Federation Coins, which clearly demonstrated the sheer volume of views and shares.

"Yeah..."

Off to the side, Xu Yi and Hoder, who both knew the truth, keenly noticed that Liang He hadn’t used the word "monster." Only Huo An was too nervous to notice this detail.

"I saw it. It’s so cool and cute!" Liang He’s eyes lit up as she began endlessly introducing the Divine Beast civilization of Blue Star to them. "Did you know? On our Blue Star, there is an Ancient Book that records all sorts of bizarre Exotic Beasts. They can soar into the heavens and dive into the earth, capable of absolutely anything. Many tribesmen even enshrine them as totems to pray for protection."

So, the moment Liang He saw the picture, a famous quote came to mind.

The Kun is so huge that a single stew pot can’t hold it all.

"A bird and a fish—isn’t that exactly a Kunpeng?"

"A Kunpeng?" Drawn in by Liang He’s explanation, Huo An finally shifted his gaze from his rice bowl to her face. "Is a Kunpeng also a Divine Beast? Does it look exactly like the one in the picture?"

Never mind Huo An—even Xu Yi and Hoder found their curiosity thoroughly piqued by Liang He’s words.

"The animal in the picture indeed looks very much like a Kunpeng, but it’s still a far cry from it in terms of size." Judging by the proportions in the photo, Liang He figured it was a baby Kunpeng at best.

"No way. It almost blotted out the sky. How is that small?" Xu Yi was equally dumbfounded. Just how big was a real Kunpeng, then?

"You have no idea. The Ancient Book once recorded that a Kunpeng could reach a maximum length of thousands of miles. When it spreads its wings, that’s what you truly call blotting out the sky and covering the sun!"

And that was living up to the name, without a shadow of a doubt!

"It’s that awesome? Then does this Divine Beast possess any Skills?" Hoder glanced at Huo An, knowing that he had a complex about this, so he quietly helped him fish for information.

"Legend has it that when a Kunpeng flaps its wings, it whips up fierce gales and massive waves, and its flight speed is incredibly fast."

Hearing this, the three men all fell deep into thought. It was actually quite relevant to Huo An’s abilities post-evolution.

Huo An suddenly thought of Kuang Ye. The Meng Ji in the Mengji Snow Leopard also seemed to stem from Blue Star civilization. Blue Star hadn’t been part of the Federation for very long, yet they had all somehow become connected to Blue Star civilization. Was this really just a coincidence?

"So, I... I mean, the animal in the picture might be related to a Divine Beast?"
