Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

Mo Li took out the light-energy plasma cannon. There was no way around it; Xiao Teng was always restless and mischievous. Without her telling her, she went off to scavenge on her own. It was a habit; whenever she found something new and interesting, she would immediately send it to her through its branches.

"You, how come you have this?"

Mo Li answered quite frankly: "I just grabbed it from the armory."

Arou was so shocked she couldn't speak. The armory was the most secure place in the entire core area. To enter, one had to pass through layers of security checks. Moreover, every weapon used was meticulously registered, and facial and iris scans were required for verification.

"Don't be so shocked, nothing can stop its progress."

The venom of the little vine can corrode everything in the world, dissolving it in an instant. It is a mutated demon vine, and it does whatever it wants as long as it is in its own good, never following any human rules.

It can also extend its roots and branches infinitely into the ground, and any obstacle or barrier is like child's play or a game to it, only adding a little fun to its boring daily life.

"Not only do I have a light-energy plasma cannon, but I also have this, this, and this... Why don't you tell me which one is more powerful, so I don't accidentally blast everything around me to smithereens, which would be such a waste."

Arou fainted immediately.

"Arou, Arou, don't scare me, wake up!"

Haohan shook Aru's soft, limp body while roaring helplessly. Finding it had no effect, he glared angrily at Mo Li. Before he could even speak, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

Ye Zixuan retrieved one of the swords he had obtained from the Punishment Tower—a sword that could cut through iron like mud and was as thin as a cicada's wing, forged from top-grade Xuan Iron Crystal Marrow—and sent him and Arou directly to hell.

"This, this is dead? It's unbelievable! Would you say I've done something incredibly awesome? Now when I return to the capital, I'll have plenty to brag about to my friends, brothers, relatives, and classmates."

"Good job, young man. This will be a significant chapter in your life. I'm proud of you."

Ye Zixuan instantly felt a surge of power throughout his body, wielding the small knife in his hand with a series of fancy moves, and then uttered a sentence:

"No way, I'll send that vixen to hell too. Her seductive poses really disgusted me. Luckily, I held firm to my precious clothes and didn't let her touch me."

When he said this, Mo Li clearly saw the obvious "Come on, praise me! Come on, praise me!" in his eyes.

"Yes, that's great, go ahead."

Ye Zixuan turned and left, leaving Mo Li behind. She sighed deeply and muttered to herself, "I just wanted a peaceful life, but it turned out to be so chaotic. It's really exhausting."

Seven days later------

Mo Li and Ye Zixuan destroyed all the interstellar pirates and everything related to them, including the Cosmic Torch Pirates. The once feared and most powerful pirate group in the entire galaxy was reduced to ashes in this silent and unknown manner. The wind blew it away, and nothing was left behind.

This planet, which served as the base of interstellar pirates for a thousand years, has been given a new look and has a unique name: Dawn Star.

As darkness dissipates and dawn breaks, light will finally arrive.

"Alright, everything that needed to be done has been done. After tonight, we can set off back to the capital planet tomorrow."

What Mo Li and the others didn't know was that on the capital planet, Guan Yunzhou, Dongfang Yu, and even Mo Junlin, who had received the news on the front lines of the battlefield, were causing a storm. They were working tirelessly, using every means at their disposal to locate their positions.

In particular, the soldiers who fought alongside Mo Junlin and Di Jue felt that their general and marshal had probably gone mad. The Zerg began to tremble with fear. They were not just killing gods, but reapers of Zerg life. If this continued, the Zerg who participated in this battle would be wiped out.

Both of them had only one thought in their minds: kill, kill, kill them all without mercy. They had to end this battle as quickly as possible and rush back to the capital planet to find Mo Li's whereabouts. Every day they were delayed, she would be in more danger.

She also needs to teach a lesson to those who dare to lay a hand on her, so they know that the Imperial Marshal is not just a figurehead, and that no one can touch the people he protects.

To everyone's surprise, Mo Li and Ye Zixuan returned to the capital planet in a way that no one expected.

Even after stepping into his own home and sitting on the sofa, hearing Dongfang Yu's questioning voice in his ear, Ye Zixuan felt as if he were in a dream.

He had resigned himself to certain death, but unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn, and everything unfolded in such a fantastical way that he wiped out all the space pirates and seized their base.

Even he himself couldn't believe that he could accomplish such a tremendous feat.

“Ye Zixuan, answer me.”

Ye Zixuan was in a good mood and didn't care about Dongfang Yu's tone. He chuckled and began to vividly recount this incredible experience to Dongfang Yu.

"I'm telling you, it's absolutely unbelievable, Ali, she..."

Ever since Mo Li returned home and received a wave of care from Dongfang Yu, Guan Yunzhou had been silently staying by her side, his eyes almost overflowing with worry.

Now he finally had a chance to get close to her. His warm, large hand gently enveloped her small hand, and his gaze met hers.

"Madam, you've been frightened. It's my fault for not protecting you properly, which is why you were kidnapped by the pirates. The mastermind behind this has been identified as the Bei Gong family and the royal family. The one who gave the advice was Di Dai, who was actually influenced by Bei Gong Xue'er. They must pay the price for the suffering you've endured this time."

"They, ha, must be having a hard time now, right? Guan Guan, don't worry, there are no space pirates left. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Their wealth accumulated over thousands of years, their safe fortress-like planets, are all ours now. Don't you think this is a great gain?"

"Madam always surprises me. Have you really not suffered any hardship or injury?"

"No, Ye Zixuan suffered all the bitterness and pain for me."

Guan Yunzhou's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he lowered his gaze. His self-reproach was clearly palpable. Mo Li tugged at their clasped hands.

"No one wants accidents to happen. I'm back safe and sound now, but you and A-Yu look like you've suffered more than I have. You both look so haggard. If I had come back a few days later, you would both be old men!"

Don't forget, our six-month trial marriage period expires today, and I need to submit it on the smart device. Should I reconsider whether I still want to continue this relationship?
