“Are you really going to make all of us leave?”
Yang Hao looked at the woman who had pulled him aside to speak secretly, feeling as though she was the true savior rather than himself. He could only nod. “Yes, unless you don’t want to leave.”
“Of course we want to leave. Everyone here wants to leave.” This woman was incredibly beautiful. Even fully clothed, her sexy figure and gorgeous appearance were unmistakable. With such striking features and eyes that seemed to speak, she would naturally attract the attention of men wherever she went.
“Then what’s the problem?” Yang Hao wasn’t sure whether, during the previous frenzied chaos, he had slept with this beauty or not. If he hadn’t, it would be a significant loss indeed.
“You can’t treat us like this—you can’t leave us stranded alone on a spaceship and just leave us behind.” The woman frowned, her expression tense.
“What’s your name?” Yang Hao was certain he hadn’t slept with her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have forgotten the intoxicating fragrance of this woman, a scent that was slightly familiar.
In his sleep, Hun Yuan muttered something.
“Jin Mianyue. My name is Jin Mianyue.” The woman said, “Thank you for rescuing us, but there are thousands of women here. You gave us a spaceship and then left us to fend for ourselves. Don’t you realize that after escaping from here, we will become targets pursued by the Ling Fei Star Sea? Without a solid plan, none of us will escape. We will be captured one by one and then subjected to stricter supervision and even crueler treatment.”
“Jin Mianyue.” Yang Hao paused, thinking about how to explain himself, “Miss Jin, my name is Yang Hao. I didn’t come here specifically to rescue you; I just happened to pass by and noticed there were women being held captive here, so I destroyed all the defense robots in the space station and rescued you all. I found an empty spaceship in the space station that could accommodate all of you, so… you board the spaceship and escape, and I’ll take mine.”
“You’re being too irresponsible. If we just run away like this, we won’t have any real chance of escaping.”
“That’s not my responsibility, don’t you see?” Yang Hao said, “I have a battleship, and on my ship are my swordswomen and my woman. There’s the most powerful fleet in the universe chasing me. My responsibility is to bring my woman back to life, not yours. Whether any of you board the spaceship and escape or decide not to leave, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Not even if they get captured one by one within twenty-four hours?” Jin Mianyue tightened her lips after speaking.
“Can you blame me for that? I’m just a maker of aphrodisiacs.” Yang Hao sighed. To be honest, he really wanted to help everyone, but it was impossible. If he took these women with him, the Heavenly King Fleet would kill them all. Helping them would be equivalent to harming them. As a leader, Yang Hao could only learn to make ruthless decisions.
“Fine, I don’t care how you deal with them, but at least you have to take me with you.” Jin Mianyue said.
“Take you with me? Why?” Yang Hao shook his head hard, even though Jin Mianyue’s chest formed perfect curves, an irresistible temptation for every man.
“Because we just had sex.” Jin Mianyue’s voice was filled with sorrow, “Are you going to abandon me now?”
“I had sex with at least five hundred women just now! And it was you women who raped me!” Yang Hao felt extremely wronged, “It seems like you’re the ones who want to abandon me.”
“Take me with you!” Jin Mianyue almost begged.
“No way, absolutely not!” Yang Hao shook his head like a drum, “You don’t even know where I’m going, and you’d be completely useless on the spaceship.”
“She could be useful, very useful. At least she can accompany you to bed every day.” Hun Yuan, surprisingly awake, offered his opinion leisurely.
“Stop talking nonsense, you old lecher!” Yang Hao said angrily.
“What did you say?” Jin Mianyue frowned at Yang Hao.
“Not talking to you,” Yang Hao patted his own stomach, “I’m talking to him.”
Jin Mianyue couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you pregnant?”
“That would be great.” Yang Hao sighed, wishing the ancient ghost in his belly wasn’t a thousand-year-old demon, “Anyway, I can’t take you with me. I can’t possibly bring someone completely useless along on this dangerous journey.”
“I’m very useful.” Jin Mianyue shook Yang Hao’s arm like a little girl acting cute, “I’m an interstellar navigator. I’m very familiar with hundreds of star systems nearby. I can guide you to wherever you want to go.”
“No way.” Yang Hao walked away, firmly rejecting her. Jin Mianyue continued to follow behind him. Although Yang Hao indeed needed an interstellar navigator, he definitely couldn’t let this woman come along.
“Why not?” Jin Mianyue pouted, clearly feeling wronged, “You yourself just said that you’re being pursued by a fleet, so you need an interstellar navigator to help you create wormhole mazes. And this star system is full of star cluster stealth fields. Without my help, you’d never make it to the Saint Bear Star.”
Yang Hao stopped in his tracks, “How do you know I’m heading to Saint Bear Star?”
“I’m a top interstellar navigator!” Jin Mianyue proudly lifted her nose, “Of course I know. The only worthwhile destination worth traveling thousands of miles to reach here is Saint Bear Star. I know this area inside and out with my eyes closed.”
“She does have a point,” Hun Yuan added, “Without an interstellar navigator, X13 can’t help us break through the star cluster stealth fields, and you won’t be able to reach Saint Bear Star either.”
Yang Hao’s head hurt. The pretty woman in front of him clearly understood interstellar navigation better than he did. All her professional terms could literally knock someone’s head spinning. Yang Hao had only recently learned terms like wormhole maze and star cluster stealth field, and even those were things that X13 couldn’t achieve.
Under the circumstances of being constantly pursued by the Heavenly King Fleet, X13 had once considered using wormhole mazes to shake off the tail. A wormhole maze is a counter-tracking game between spaceships. For instance, if the Heavenly King Fleet wanted to track Yang Hao’s battleship, the Doomsday, Yang Hao could use a wormhole to jump his ship to another space. Although this could temporarily shake off the pursuers, the Heavenly King Fleet had full-space radar, so it wouldn’t be long before they tracked Yang Hao’s trail again.
