Chapter 331: She Was Tempted

In the cultivation room, saber lights intersected as the battle continued.
A battle of dark substance bodies and saber intent!
Yan Sanqi didn’t use her strengthening-type ability, and Wang Ye didn’t use the white origin of thunder either.
Just by using the weapons in their hands, their combat energy rumbled and they were still very powerful.
If the two had not controlled their strength, the cultivation room would have been torn down long ago.
After a while, the figures separated.
“Good swordsmanship.” Wang Ye praised.
The battle last time had been too fast and he couldn’t savor it carefully.
Yan Sanqi’s sword intent and combat techniques were top-notch as expected of someone who had been in the military camp for decades. She was quite experienced and full of fighting spirit, reminding him of Ruirui…
However, there was still a huge difference in their physiques. Yan Sanqi was the type who had nothing.
Other than her face, she had nothing else.
It didn’t matter. Either way, he loved beauties.
“Your saber technique…” Yan Sanqi looked at Wang Ye in surprise. She asked in disbelief, “Why didn’t I see you use it the last time we fought?”
“What do you think?” Wang Ye asked.
“You just comprehended it?” Yan Sanqi blurted out almost instinctively. She shook her head and said, “Impossible. Even if you can comprehend the concept of a saber technique at this level and reach the beginner stage quickly, you need to go through countless battles and experiences to reach stage 4.”
Uh, he did actually just comprehend it.
Wang Ye naturally wouldn’t expose himself though.
“You were giving in to me earlier? Why?” Yan Sanqi immediately reacted.
“Because we are the same kind of people.” Wang Ye looked at Yan Sanqi and said seriously, “The first time I saw you, you seemed familiar and I felt an intimacy… Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean it that way.”
“I know.” Yan Sanqi mumbled and avoided Wang Ye’s gaze. “To be honest, I also think that you feel quite close.”
Now that she knew his origins, how could he not be?
“You are the first person to know my identity as a colony planet human.” Wang Ye approached Yan Sanqi naturally and sighed softly. “You might not know this, but I almost became a slave too.”
“Ah? How did you escape?” Yan Sanqi was shocked.
“It’s a long story…”
They had a long talk.
Unknowingly, the distance between the two shortened. Not only physically, but also spiritually.
Yan Sanqi also shared her experience with Wang Ye.
She came from the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s Colony Planet No.1772 under the Woya family and was born a slave.
Fortunately, she had a good talent for cultivation and was arranged to enter the furnace of the colony planet to temper herself. Ten years later, she came out alive and changed her name to Yan Sanqi. Then, she entered the death planet of the Woya family…
For the past three decades, she had been risking her life to survive.
In the end, she successfully passed the screening of the military camp and became a soldier, opening a window for her destiny.
“You’re the most determined woman I’ve ever seen.” Wang Ye sighed.
“So, why are you hugging me?” Yan Sanqi glanced at her right shoulder and noticed that there was a hand on it.
“I’m sorry, I might have been moved by your experience. My hand couldn’t help but resonate with your emotions.” Wang Ye didn’t have any intention of moving his hand away. Instead, he changed the topic. “What do you plan to do next?”
Yan Sanqi lifted her chin proudly. There was a hint of longing in her eyes. “My parents died a long time ago. I’m the only one left. Living for the sake of living is meaningless. I’ll always be a slave of the Woya family, forever.”
“Have you ever thought of escaping this fate?” Wang Ye looked at Yan Sanqi, who had a proud personality but a deep sense of inferiority.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yan Sanqi’s face. “Escaping fate? Is that possible? Once the slave mark is imprinted, it can never be removed.”
“I can help buy your contract and return your freedom,” Wang Ye said.
A Dark Energy level 9 slave was expensive, but he could afford it now.
It was just a matter of whether he wanted to and whether it was worth it.
“What is your motive?” Yan Sanqi was almost on guard subconsciously. Then, her brows relaxed. “Thanks. I don’t want to owe anyone a favor.”
“Just take it that I’m lending it to you. Although the slave mark can’t be removed for the time being,” Wang Ye said, “At least you can be free now. You can do whatever you want and live the life you want. One day, if you can break through the Black Hole level and transcend reincarnation, the slave mark will naturally disappear and you will obtain true freedom.”
Yan Sanqi pursed her lips and looked at Wang Ye with a complicated expression.
She was tempted.

Allwolf No. 3, main control room.
Ju Bairuo, who was staring at the radar projection and detection image, heard the door of the cultivation room open and glanced over.
Then, his pupils constricted and his jaw dropped.
Wang Ye and Yan Sanqi were walking side by side, talking and laughing like they were a pair.
There was no sense of estrangement or distance between the two. It was as if they had known each other for many years. Were they boyfriend and girlfriend?
Ju Bairuo understood Yan Sanqi’s personality too well.
This unyielding woman had never put anyone in her eyes, nor was she ever nice. In fact… He had never seen Yan Sanqi smile before.
But now…
Was this still the Yan Sanqi he knew?
What did Wang Ye do to her?
For the first time, Ju Bairuo felt like he had lost to Wang Ye. He couldn’t see through the latter.
If he was the captain, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do this.
“Wang Ye couldn’t really be an executive from some cosmic company, right?” Ju Bairuo muttered to himself.
He was too good at setting empty but believable goals and buying people’s hearts!
“How’s the progress?” Wang Ye opened the mission recorder.
The progress and rewards of their team were recorded in real-time.
The screen lit up and the data was displayed.
[Mission time limit: 95 cosmic days.]
[Mission progress: 0.02%.]
[Mission reward: 3 battle credits.]
Wang Ye was surprised.
He opened the record details.
While he and Yan Sanqi were imagining their beautiful lives in the future, Ju Bairuo had already discovered eleven 4-star life planets in the Aotuo Galaxy.
Three of them were level-1 civilizations and one was a level-2 civilization. The other life planets had not been born for long and had yet to become level 1 civilizations.
This was part of the mission progress and not part of the mission reward.
On average, there were close to a hundred four-star life planets in every five-star life galaxy. Through death and rebirth, the number of planets remained the same.
“We’ve just discovered a three-star energy planet.” Ju Bairuo said as he took notes.
“Yes.” Wang Ye noticed that.
As a pioneer team, they only carried out preliminary reconnaissance and investigation. The specific exploration was not their job.
They didn’t have that much time.
Energy planets were planets that produced energy stones and energy crystals. Cosmic energy gathered and condensed into energy crystals, used by cosmic civilizations.
A three-star energy planet referred to a planet that only had three-star energy crystals at the moment. Each three-star energy crystal was worth 10,000 star points, which wasn’t much.
However, if it were an entire planet, its value would be terrifying.
As a pioneer team, after discovering a planet, then recording the coordinates and uploading them to the mission recorder, they could obtain additional battle credit rewards.
“Well done, Xiao Bai.” Wang Ye praised.
In the limited time limit of the mission, it was still unknown whether they could find the main planet of the five-star life galaxy, let alone explore the entire five-star life galaxy and discover other valuable existences.
How to obtain more mission completion and rewards in a short time was a measure of the exploration team’s ability.
“We still haven’t found Aotuo Planet.” Ju Bairuo was meticulous.
“The original Aotuo Planet has exploded, right?” Wang Ye said.
“Yes, we just passed the coordinates.” Ju Bairuo looked at the general map of the Aotuo Galaxy.
There were many markings on it, crisscrossed like a railway. The marks of different colors were dazzling.
“What are we looking at now?” Yan Sanqi asked Wang Ye.
“We’re using the galaxy map to find the possible location of the new Aotuo Planet.” Wang Ye looked at Ju Bairuo.
This was hard work. Other than a huge knowledge structure, it also required a considerable amount of brain and experience.
It was not his forte.
“There are seven points on the map. Do we need to go to all of them?” Yan Sanqi said.
“We don’t have that much time,” Wang Ye said.
By the time they finished all seven points, they would have already explored more than 50% of the entire Aotuo Galaxy. That would take at least three to five cosmic days.
It was impossible to spend so much time on a five-star life galaxy.
After all, the entire Pipino Galaxy contained 155 five-star life galaxies.
On average, they could not take more than 1 cosmic day to explore each 5-star life galaxy.
Pa, pa.
On the map of the Aotuo Galaxy, two of the seven light dots lit up.
Ju Bairuo turned his head. “According to the shift in energy conservation and the reaction between dark substance and energy, there is a 44% chance that Aotuo Planet exists at one of these two coordinates. We will only go to these two.”
Yan Sanqi pointed at a red dot below. “This shows 27%. It’s the highest among the seven dots. Why aren’t we going there?”
“Because of the wormhole.” Wang Ye looked at the map. “This place is too far away from the possible wormhole. It’s very likely to waste more than half a cosmic day, affecting the exploration of the next five-star life system.”
“On the contrary, although the total of these two dots is only 44%, the wormhole is on the upper right. We only need to walk a Z to enter the next Tali Galaxy. The estimated total time spent in the Aotuo Galaxy will then be within the planned time.”
Yan Sanqi nodded in realization. She looked at the general map of the Aotuo Galaxy and studied the new knowledge seriously.
Ju Bairuo looked at Wang Ye with a certain look in his eyes and continued working.
This captain was quite knowledgeable.
The first target was soon explored.
The military camp’s supernet radar did not detect any five-star life force, which meant that there was no five-star life planet.
Ju Bairuo gave up decisively.
He took a detour along the way and found another two-star energy planet before heading straight for the last target.
Whether or not they could find the new Aotuo Planet, this was their last attempt.
They could not affect the overall situation.
“It’s here.” Ju Bairuo had an elegant expression. He did not seem surprised by the discovery of the new Aotuo Planet.
He calmly drew the coordinates on the galaxy map and recorded them.
Wang Ye looked at the mission recorder.
The progress of the mission soared from 0.03% to 0.28%.
Aotuo Planet was the core of the entire five-star life system. Finding it meant that the mission progress of the galaxy was 80%.
It was a smooth start!
Suddenly–
“Beep.” The supernet Al’s voice sounded and a red light lit up. “Detected cosmic-level energy reaction..”
