Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

The consciousness seems to be drowning in a warm ocean, every inch of the skin is wrapped tightly, the touch is as soft as the warmth of a mother's palm, with a reassuring breath, making people want to curl up in this gentle place forever, not wanting to wake up.

The driver's eyelashes trembled, and his heavy eyelids seemed to be stuck with lead. He took great effort to slowly open a crack. In the blurred light and shadow, he could only see a slender figure walking forward slowly on the sand and gravel that were flying all over the sky.

The figure was wearing a silver-gray combat uniform, outlining smooth and upright lines. Although he was on a desolate battlefield on a planet with no grass, he exuded a strange calmness.

The driver's vision gradually focused, and he could see that the other person's long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, with a few strands of hair swaying gently with her steps. The outline of her profile was particularly clear in the dim light - under the straight nose, her thin lips with a clear lip line were tightly pursed, and her eyes were as calm as the bottomless starry sky.

Pei Jin sat in the cockpit of the mecha, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.

When the Insect King's mental shock wave swept across the battlefield just now, he almost thought that the new recruit who had just joined the team was dead. It was not until he caught that figure again on the surveillance screen that his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, suddenly dropped and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

But when he saw Quan Jiuxi actually walking straight towards the Insect King, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the next second, he pulled the emergency ejection switch of the mecha without hesitation.

"Admiral! This is the mecha's last safety barrier, you..."

The adjutant's anxious voice came from the communicator, with a crackling sound of electricity.

Pei Jin's hand gripping the switch paused. His figure in black combat uniform appeared exceptionally cold and hard in the cockpit. His jawline was as taut as a knife, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice came through the communicator with unquestionable determination: "I must save her."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Jin's mecha had already broken through the encirclement of the insect swarm, and its silver-white shell drew a sharp arc in the artillery fire.

On this battlefield known as the "Waste Earth", the sand in the sky was dyed gray-black by the smoke, and every grain of dust was wrapped in the breath of death.

Meteorites in the distance hit the ground, raising huge clouds of dust. Occasionally, broken mecha wreckage fell from the sky, making a harsh sound of metal friction. Even under the scorching sun, the entire planet was bone-chillingly cold.

At the same time, real-time images of this interstellar war are being broadcast live to the entire universe through the Star Network.

In front of countless computer screens, interstellar people stared at the out-of-place figure in the center of the battlefield with either nervousness or contempt.

"Sir, Tang Qing's brother is truly wicked!" Xiaoyi pointed to a hidden corner of the screen. "During the break just now, if it weren't for the sudden attack by the Insect King, Pei Jin would have almost had the medical robots inject the team with a disorder potion. He just wanted the entire galaxy to witness the ugly mental breakdown of Pei Jin's team!"

Quan Jiuxi narrowed his eyes slightly.

At that moment, the calmness in her eyes faded away, replaced by a murderous intent as cold as winter, as if countless ice spikes were shattering in her pupils.

The high brows were slightly furrowed, and the originally soft facial lines suddenly tightened. Even the black headband that tied the hair seemed to tremble slightly because of this momentum.

The discussion on Starnet became more intense because of this glance.

"Who is this woman? Can't she see that there is a war going on? How dare she walk out so slowly?" A burly man with a beard roared at the screen.

"I know, I know!" Someone beside them immediately chimed in. It was a woman with exquisite makeup. She raised her chin at her companions and spoke with a tone of boastful disdain: "It's the Quan family's youngest daughter, Quan Jiuxi, a notorious loser! My daughter attends the Interstellar Military Academy, and she always comes in last in every battle simulation. She can't even learn the most basic energy control!"

"So she's here to gild her reputation?" someone suddenly realized, the sarcasm in their tone almost overflowing. "If Admiral Pei's team wins this time, she can write 'participated in the great victory on Wasteland' on her resume, right? The Quan family really knows how to exploit loopholes!"

"Serves her right!" A young man in military uniform slammed the table, his reflection on the computer screen distorted in his angry eyes. "Why did General Pei save her? This kind of trash deserves to die in the mouths of insects!"

"I agree! We must boycott the Quan family!" More and more people joined in the condemnation, and comments flooded the screen like a tide:

"If she killed General Pei, we will never let the Quan family go!"

"Get Quan Jiuxi out of the battlefield!"

"Useless people should stay in the greenhouse and not come out to harm heroes!"

At this time, in the huge conference room of the Quan family's main residence, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like water could drip out of it.

More than twenty members of the Quan family sat around the oval conference table, each of them with worry written on their face.

The Quan family's old butler stared at the screen, his gray beard trembling: "Master, the young lady is really too unreasonable..."

"This is an interstellar battlefield!" A middle-aged woman in a gorgeous robe clutched her chest, her voice trembling, "If anything happens to her, our Quan family's lineage will be cut off!"

"How reckless!" The man next to him slammed the table, his gold-rimmed glasses sliding down to the tip of his nose. "Even if you want to gain experience, you should start with logistics. What if you get hurt directly on the front lines?"

"It's all Pei Jin's fault!" Someone pointed the finger at the mecha on the screen: "How could he let the young lady go..."

"Why are you all so panicked?" A clear female voice suddenly rang out, interrupting everyone's complaints.

Father Quan had been keeping his lips tightly pursed. Upon hearing this, he pushed up his black-framed glasses and swept a serious look over the crowd, but said nothing.

The alloy door of the conference room was flung open, and Tang Wan strode in.

She was dressed in a tight black outfit, highlighting her toned figure from years of exercise. Her shoulder-length hair fell neatly behind her ears, and a sneer played on her lips. Her high heels made a clacking sound on the smooth floor, and each step carried a resolute and powerful momentum.

"Why are you all panicking? My daughter is a brave girl. Did she take all the classes she took at the military academy for nothing? Your daughter is so noble, but look at Pei Jin's team. Who among them isn't an outstanding kid?!"

Seeing this, the other members of the Quan family hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly to her: "Madam."

Tang Wan didn't look at them, but walked straight to the front of the conference table, her eyes fixed on the projection screen in the center.

When one person saw the faint golden light surrounding Quan Jiuxi, he suddenly shouted, "Look, what is that!"

An old man from the Quan family, leaning on a cane, approached the screen and suddenly pointed at it, exclaiming, "Is that... a phoenix? It only appears in ancient Earth mythology..."

In the projection, Quan Jiuxi slightly raised his right hand, with tiny golden spots of light lingering on his fingertips.

As she raised her arm, a translucent golden light instantly spread out, like a huge glass cover, enveloping Pei Jin's mecha and all the mechas of the entire team.

Flowing light patterns flowed on the surface of the barrier, blocking all the attacks of the insect swarm without even a trace of a crack.

Outside the barrier, the girl just looked indifferently at the Insect King not far away.

The giant creature was as tall as a ten-story building, its shell covered with spikes, its compound eyes flashing scarlet light, and corrosive mucus constantly dripping from its mouthparts.

But there was no fear in Quan Jiuxi's eyes, as if he was not looking at an interstellar behemoth that could tear apart mechas in an instant, but just an insignificant speck of dust in the universe.

She stood there with her back straight, her silver-gray combat uniform gleaming softly against the golden light, even her hair blown by the wind had a strange rhythm.

The next second, a clear phoenix cry suddenly came from the distant sky, penetrating all the sounds of artillery fire and insects, and reaching people's hearts.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge creature flying towards them from afar.

Its entire body was covered in flaming red feathers, each feather petal seemed to be burning, and its wingspan was thirty meters wide. The heat waves caused by its flight caused the air to begin to distort.

Its body was three times larger than the Insect King's. Its golden beak and claws flashed with cold light, and the flames surrounding its body burned the surrounding sand into glass beads.

The Insect King seemed to feel threatened, let out a sharp hiss, and his huge body involuntarily took a step back.

But Quan Jiuxi still stood there, without moving, even her eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if the flaming creature that covered the sky and the sun was just a pet she summoned.
