# Chapter 2222: Twin Sisters?

Jiluo received over 200 million in payment and was absolutely delighted. He immediately packed up his stall and left!

He originally had no intention of going back to the Paradise Realm for adventure, but for the sake of money, wouldn't it be worth going one more time?

As he was walking down the street, thinking about going to have some fun first, Jiluo was suddenly blocked, bumping into an insect race member!

(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "You motherf*cking walking—"

Before he could even finish his words, Jiluo shuddered and looked up!

The insect race member had pitch-black skin, was abnormally tall, covered in hard carapace, with a ferocious appearance!

Jiluo couldn't help but tremble:

=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "H-how about being a little more careful? What if you hurt yourself? Hello there, Insect Race sir! Haha~ ahaha~"

Before he could finish, the insect race member struck instantly, his large hand slamming heavily onto Jiluo's head!

A stream of mysterious yellow energy flowed along his arm into Jiluo's body!

All of his recent memories were known by the insect race giant!

(ꐦ͡°ൠ͡°) "Hmph~ It really is Shengyi, huh? The contact at the mining field didn't receive the goods, yet she's been hanging out with some small-time Stardust Clan mine owner?"

"Truly doesn't want to live anymore!"

With that said, he tossed Jiluo aside and strode boldly into the crowd!

...

Jiangnan and the others were leisurely strolling through the streets, planning to check out Chong Feiyu's shop.

However, Shengyi, who had been keeping a close eye on the crowd, seemed to notice something. Her expression tensed, and her pretty face turned pale.

She immediately grabbed Jiangnan's hand and pulled him toward the Star Navigation Station.

(๑ŏ﹏ŏ) "Lord Blake! Didn't you say you wanted to go see the Paradise Realm at Mining Area 666? Let's go right now!"

"I know the way, I'll take you there. Better early than late, right?"

Jiangnan frowned: (๑•̌~•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Huh? But I'm a bit hungry. I wanted to eat first before going."

Shengyi forced a dry smile onto her face:

(⌒﹏⌒;) "Eat on the ship. There's a restaurant on board. Just listen to me, okay?"

As she spoke, she kept scanning the crowd.

Jiangnan's lips curled into a faint smile as he pulled Shengyi close and put his arm around her shoulder.

(ɔ⁰̷̴﹏⁰̷̴(¬↼¬C) "What's the rush? Who's the boss here?"

With that, he led the group away from the crowd and toward a small alleyway.

The insect race giant in the crowd sneered. He noticed, did he?

Seven or eight insect race giants broke away from the crowd and followed into the alley.

As soon as they entered, they found Jiangnan leaning against the wall, hands in his pockets, looking completely at ease.

Shengyi stood beside Jiangnan, her face pale, her eyes evasive.

Jiu Lan and Chong Feiyu, on the other hand, looked eager and ready to fight.

[From Wufeng: Resentment +666!]
[From...]

The leading insect race member sneered:

(¬ൠ¬) "Quite bold, aren't you? Know I'm coming for you, yet you don't hide, waiting here instead? Pretty confident?"

Jiangnan said casually: "Insect race? Oh~ no! You've been possessed by a Chaos Entity using Divine Control, right? All seven or eight of these are your alt accounts?"

Wufeng squinted: "This isn't your place to speak! Shengyi! I'm asking you, where did you deliver Lord Xuanse's goods?"

"The contact didn't receive your shipment, yet you're here shopping in the Northern Crown Star Capital? Don't want to live anymore?"

"Do you think Lord Xuanse really can't bear to kill you?"

Shengyi gritted her teeth: "No! That's not it! I..."

Wufeng sneered: "Even if you're not afraid to die, what about your sister? You don't want her to live either, do you?"

Shengyi narrowed her eyes and slowly clenched her fists: "I'm sorry. I'll figure out a solution for the goods. Please..."

Wufeng said coldly: "Sorry? You don't have the right to negotiate with us. You don't even have the right to beg."

Jiangnan looked at Shengyi's pale face and clenched fists, frowning slightly.

There was a hidden reason for her smuggling for Xuanse? Did they have leverage over her?

Before Shengyi could speak, Jiangnan grinned:

(˶‾᷄↼‾᷅˵) "Sorry to interrupt~ I was the one who hijacked that Xuanse guy's goods. The stuff is with me, and Shengyi is with me now."

"If you've got a problem, come at me!"

Wufeng's gaze sharpened, locking onto Jiangnan: "You've got some nerve! A mere Stardust Clan member, do you even know how to write the word 'death'?"

Jiangnan snorted:

(๑•̫᷄•᷅) "You're ugly enough already, and now you're illiterate too? If you don't know, look it up in a dictionary! Why the hell are you asking me?"

[From Wufeng: Resentment +1009!]
[From Wufeng...]

"You're asking for death! Mind Release!"

With that, an immense psychic force erupted, minimizing the damage range as it slammed toward Jiangnan's head!

But Jiangnan didn't even bother taking his hands out of his pockets!

The powerful psychic shockwave stopped right in front of Jiangnan. Space itself twisted from the clash of mental energy!

(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "That's it?"

Wufeng: ???

The next moment, an overwhelming torrent of psychic energy burst from Jiangnan's mind like a flood, like an invisible giant hand, like towering waves!

Invisible yet deadly!

With a loud "bang," Wufeng's insect race head exploded like a watermelon, red and white splattering all over the wall...

Jiangnan said calmly: (¬_¬) "Don't try psychic attacks against a Stardust Clan member, bro."

Shengyi: ???

For a moment, she almost thought Jiangnan was a real Stardust Clan member!

What terrifying psychic energy projection was that?

Wasn't Jiangnan a Space System user? How was his psychic power so terrifying too?

This was Jiangnan's first time using psychic energy as an attack method, and he had to admit, it was pretty effective.

All those warehouses of Stygian Water crystals he'd absorbed weren't for nothing!

But then, Wufeng's exploded head rapidly regenerated, growing back in no time!

Clearly, this was the insect race's ability—limb regeneration!

Wufeng's eyes turned bloodshot: "You've angered me, Stardust Clan!"

The seven or eight insect race giants charged forward at once!

Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔↼◔ิ๑) "Little Jiu, take them down!"

Before Jiangnan even finished speaking, Jiu Lan was already itching for a fight!

Wufeng's eyes widened: "You're asking for death! Energy Blast!"

Seven energy blasts slammed into Jiu Lan's body!

But they vanished like stones thrown into the sea, having absolutely no effect!

How could Stygian energy be blasted by a Chaos Entity?

Wufeng's pupils contracted: "Just a Sea Clan member? How is that possible!"

But Jiu Lan was already licking her lips, making her move!

Dense Stygian energy erupted, filling the entire alley!

Then, on the nape of each of the seven insect race giants, a Stygian Death Mark formed, sealing their abilities completely!

Wufeng's seven Chaos Entity avatars were trapped inside the insect bodies, and even the insect race's abilities were unusable!

Only raw physical strength remained, but against Jiu Lan, there was only one outcome!

With an Instant Step and Nail Fist, Wufeng's chest was pierced clean through. He vomited blood heavily!

His eyes were full of disbelief: "Underworld Clan? How can this be an Underworld Clan?"

Realizing something was wrong, Wufeng tried to control his other puppet bodies to flee!

But Chong Feiyu leaped over and blocked the alley entrance, cracking her knuckles with an evil grin:

(งᵒ̌.̮ᵒ̌)ง "Lunch is served!"

And so, a brutally one-sided battle erupted in the alley!

Wufeng's abilities were sealed, and he couldn't even send a message. All he could do was passively take a beating!

In no time, six insect race giants were devoured whole by Chong Feiyu's gaping maw, turning Shengyi's face white!

Only one was left getting beaten up!

At this point, Wufeng could only curl up on the ground, covering his head:

୧(#)⋟3⋞(#)୨ "Damn it! Stop! Stop hitting me! Do you want to die?"

"This is just my puppet body. If it dies, it dies! My real body isn't here! Do you think I can't send a message back and report this to Lord Xuanse?"

Jiangnan crouched down, grinning as he patted Wufeng's cheek: "Send a message back? With a Stygian Death Mark on you? Can you even contact your real body?"

"As for me hijacking his goods, go ahead and tell Xuanse. Think I'm afraid of him?"

Wufeng was furious. Damn it! How could an Underworld Clan member be here?

"Shengyi! You don't want your sister to die, do you? Getting bold enough to defy Lord Xuanse's will?"

"I'll give you three days to return the goods intact to Lord Xuanse's estate, or else..."

Shengyi's eyes were bloodshot: "Enough! Other than threatening me with this, what else can you do? Even if I return the goods, will you give my sister back to me?"

"How many times have I helped you transport goods? But where is my sister? Time and time again, you always say 'next time for sure'!"

"When will 'next time' actually come?"

Wufeng tried to speak again, but Jiangnan grinned and pulled out an Addictive Small Fire Jar from his pocket!

With a smack, he pressed it onto Wufeng's mouth, activating Star-Slaying mode!

Wufeng's eyes bulged, and soon the light faded from them!

On the back of the jar, a character for "Feng" appeared!

Clearly, Wufeng's Chaos Entity avatar inside the insect body had been sucked into the jar!

Chaos Entities were different from Bose Bodies. They were pure energy-based lifeforms.

The Small Fire Jar was perfect for dealing with them. When dealing with Shen before, he'd used the jar to extract him too!

The Addictive Small Fire Jar was practically the bane of Chaos Entities!

As for Xuanse, Jiangnan wasn't afraid at all!

If he came, Jiangnan would find a way to give him a jar too! He was almost looking forward to it!

With a "pop," the insect race giant's mouth was puckered like a sausage, and Jiangnan cheerfully pocketed the jar.

Shengyi stared blankly at this scene...

Σ(°△°|||) What did that mean?

Lord Nan Shen used cupping to extract the Chaos Entity's avatar?

This this this...

Jiangnan stood up and stretched:

٩(๑◔~◔ิ๑)۶ "Your sister is in Xuanse's hands?"

Hearing this, Shengyi's expression darkened:

(◞‸◟) "Mm... My twin sister fell into Xuanse's hands, possessed by Divine Control. I... I can't save her..."

If she didn't have leverage held against her, Shengyi wouldn't want to get involved either. Xuanse wouldn't have trusted her to smuggle his goods otherwise.

Time and time again, she was forced to work for Xuanse. Shengyi was exhausted. But she knew that as long as she didn't die, she would keep being used.

Xuanse would never return her sister to her, but she couldn't refuse to work...

She knew that the loss of the goods would eventually be exposed, so hiding her identity didn't matter anymore...

Jiangnan rubbed his nose: (͡°ก͡°) "Since I took your goods, I'll take care of this mess. I'll help you get your sister back. Don't worry."

"Relax. Xuanse won't kill your sister before he gets his goods back. Killing her would do him no good."

Shengyi stared in shock at Jiangnan's profile. He... he was going to help save her sister? That was Xuanse, someone many people wouldn't dare to offend!

Lord Nan Shen he...

(*゚ロ゚)! "C-could it be... you're actually a good person?"

Jiangnan: (≖~≖)...

"Don't I look like one?"

What kind of image did I have in your eyes before this anyway?!

Chong Feiyu swallowed and pointed at the sausage-lipped insect corpse:

(❛ั〰❛ั∗)☛ "Is this still needed? If not, I'll eat it!"

Shengyi covered her face. You really don't waste anything, do you? Directly destroying the evidence?

She watched as Chong Feiyu opened her huge mouth and swallowed the corpse, let out a burp that brought up half a leg, then stuffed it back in and ate it...

Jiangnan's mouth twitched:

(¬益¬) "Let's skip the meal and go straight to 666. I've kind of lost my appetite..."
