Chapter 1845: Chapter 89: Cleaning Up the Aftermath (Part 2)
Zhang Xiaoman felt somewhat concerned for his new young underlings. You know, these drones are precious resources to recreate. Though he currently had some resources at hand, they were meant for Star Alliance members and his own use. If he used them in drone manufacturing, it would surely be like a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, he wasn’t particularly worried about this problem now. If it really came down to it, he’d just make a trip to the Beller Star Domain. With his discovery of a new use for his Star Pattern Talent, he didn’t have to worry about being surrounded by drones during exploration.
On the contrary, the more drones that came, the happier he was, because these all would be his future underlings. How could he not be happy?
Zhang Xiaoman declined the invitation from several families and directly returned to Water Blue Star. For him, there were more important matters to attend to.
However, having put in so much effort to save these people, he certainly couldn’t just walk away, at least he had to engage with these families and establish some connections.
If possible, he also planned to open trade routes with these people. This world had many resources that the Star Alliance lacked, such as various Spirit Techniques and materials.
The families naturally were very happy to see such a situation. Who wouldn’t want to interact well with such a Middle Extraordinary Level being?
Thus, they valued this matter tremendously, even placing it ahead of their competitive disputes.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t need to personally attend. Now that he was the leader of an organization spanning numerous planets, with thousands upon thousands of members, these matters naturally didn’t require his hands-on involvement.
Due to the importance of this matter, he sent Yang Yangyang and Ji Xiaoqi as representatives to establish connections with various families.
These two have been veterans of the Star Alliance since the beginning, establishing the organization together with Zhang Xiaoman. Now both possess Control Level strength.
After more than ten years together, the two completed the journey from holding hands to falling in love, marrying, and having children. Now their child is five or six years old, a very pretty little girl named Yang Xiaojie, who is very close friends with Brother Hero’s two sons.
Now, the two lead the delegation to various families for communication and establishing ties. All the family’s members treated them with great respect, even the family’s Ancestor personally came out to greet them, giving them due honor.
At first, Yang Yangyang and Ji Xiaoqi were a bit surprised and overwhelmed, being received by an Extraordinary Level Ancestor, and warmly referred to as a young friend, was something countless people couldn’t even dare imagine.
Later, as they heard more and more, the two gradually understood what was really happening.
It turned out everything was due to their Boss. The Three-Races War made the name Ji Xing an illustrious presence in the Dark Spirit Star Domain and even the Taigu Star Domain.
"Honey, what really happened in the Three-Races War, the Star Lord hasn’t even told us. I was scared out of my wits when I met that Extraordinary Level earlier. Such strong pressure, I’ve never experienced in my life before. She even intentionally restrained her aura, but even then, the power that leaked out was still terrifying."
Within the Lankdo Clan’s territory, near the Lankdo Origin Planet, in a luxurious guest warship, Ji Xiaoqi was looking at the analysis report on the Three-Races War as she spoke.
Beside her, Yang Yangyang was also viewing the scene in front of them.
When the footage showed Zhang Xiaoman instantly killing a peak Lower God-level Insect Queen, the two were startled, their eyes nearly bulging out.
"This, is this real... the Star Lord..."
Ji Xiaoqi appeared dumbfounded, still not quite believing it, hurriedly calling up information on the Insect Queen.
"Insect swarm size: Level 7 (super-large scale); quantity: immeasurable (no less than a quintillion); Extraordinary Level Ancestor Worms: 7 (not including the Insect Queen); Insect Queen strength level: peak Lower God..."
Looking at the information before her, she was speechless for a long time, only feeling parched.
"A quintillion...?"
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing intense shock in each other’s eyes.
"How much is a quintillion... So many insects, all taken down by our Boss? And that peak Lower God-level Insect Queen... I knew the Boss was formidable, but I never imagined he was this fierce!"
Yang Yangyang stuttered as he spoke.
"Look here, it says, a quintillion is merely the fleet observer’s maximum observable count, the true number of the insect race is far more..."
"Earlier, we found it difficult just dealing with that Lankdo Clan Ancestor, just communicating felt strenuous, how did the Boss take down that Insect Queen..."
"I don’t know... Don’t ask me... The Star Lord’s power is beyond our speculation..."
"Indeed, the curious thing is, every time we talk, I feel the Boss is just like he used to be, without a shred of pressure, comparing today to that Lankdo Clan Ancestor, I realize the Boss is truly incredible..."
"Sure, they all say the Star Lord is above Middle Extraordinary Level, naturally his control of aura is stronger."
"..."
The two discussed in the room for a long time, completely unprepared for the grand scale of what Zhang Xiaoman had casually mentioned, and even less for the terrifying height of their everyday joking Boss’s strength.
At this moment, after overcoming the initial shock, the two’s hearts gradually calmed down, followed by a swell of pride.
With such a Boss as backing, it was no wonder those families treated them so courteously. Initially, they felt a bit uneasy, yet the other party turned out to be even more nervous than themselves.
"Haha, it’s getting late, honey let’s call it a day, sleep early, tomorrow we need to negotiate about more than two hundred Dark Spiritual Material trade matters."
Yang Yangyang said as he quickly turned off the lights, pulling Ji Xiaoqi into bed.
...
First Universe, Water Blue Star.
In contrast to Yang Yangyang and Ji Xiaoqi, Zhang Xiaoman had just finished spending intimate moments with Lin Sisi, the two strolling together along the shimmering Seven-star Lakefront.
He’s spent these years mostly outside, rarely returning home. This brief calm was extremely precious for both of them.
Zhang Xiaoman gently brushed Lin Sisi’s long hair, reflecting on his busy years which left her to oversee the organization in the Star Alliance, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.
"Sisi, I promised to marry you after this return, but now I need to urgently increase my strength, the time left for the Spiritual Medicine’s efficacy isn’t much, I must take it before it becomes ineffective, right..."
Lin Sisi quickly covered his mouth, preventing his next words from coming out.
"Brother Xiao Man, you don’t need to apologize to me, I know what is most important right now, go ahead without worry, I will always wait for you..."
The girl’s eyes were full of tender affection, Zhang Xiaoman felt touched, holding her tight in his arms.
"Sisi, don’t worry, I will definitely give you a grand wedding, letting everyone know, you Lin Sisi are my wife!"
Lin Sisi smiled happily, nestled in his embrace.
After a moment, she raised her head, looking into his eyes, saying:
"Brother Xiao Man, actually you don’t need to go to such lengths, the wedding is just a ceremony, if possible, we can get married right now..."
"Getting married right now...?"
"Yes! Brother Xiao Man, I don’t care about those ceremonies, nor how many are in attendance. To me, as long as there’s you, the wedding is complete."
Zhang Xiaoman was slightly stunned, gazing at the girl’s lovely face for a long while, then suddenly made up his mind.
"To me, it’s the same, as long as there’s you, it’s enough! Why should I delay any longer? Sisi, let’s get married now!"
