For anyone, going decades without seeing anyone is definitely not a joyful experience, and Ming Qi is no exception.
Traveling in the Star Region is full of dangers, battlefields, and battles. In such a situation, the most terrifying thing isn't the life-or-death struggle it brings, but the loneliness that feels like falling into an abyss—a unique kind of pain and torture. Even a killer like Ming Qi, accustomed to loneliness his entire life, can only barely endure it. As for others, the pain is understandable.
This is also the main reason why many people can't persist in the Star Region for long. For these people, even though the opportunity to enter the Star Region may only come once in a lifetime, they are forced to return to their own worlds before they go mad.
Ming Qi held the Fire Emperor Sword in his hand, his eyes carefully examining the woman.
She was short and beautiful, with a round face, large eyes, a small nose, and an alluring mouth. Everything about her looked youthful, even like a slightly immature girl. Her hair was short, the same beautiful color as the stars. It had obviously been trimmed with a weapon, but with a simple touch, it didn't look as tangled as Ming Qi's, like a bird's nest.
Her skin was fair and delicate. She wore a well-worn, tight-fitting warrior outfit, and long black gloves on her hands. Scars adorned the exposed skin, likely from the previous battle with the star demon.
She stood warily, leaning forward, the dagger in her right hand resting on the Fire Emperor Sword, her left hand at her side, holding another dagger.
This gesture accentuated her fiery figure, imbued with wild power, yet also graceful. No matter her posture, her curves remained unwaveringly graceful.
He stared at Ming Qi with a wary gaze, like a ferocious young female leopard.
"Very beautiful woman," Ming Qi concluded, then sheathed the Fire Emperor Sword and stepped back. He didn't want to be attacked at this moment. "Woman, what's wrong with a woman?"
The girl's mind seemed to be still lingering on Ming Qi's first words. It wasn't clear if it was because she was slow to react or because she hadn't spoken to anyone in a while, but she couldn't adjust to the situation.
"Well, women are treated differently here. I don't usually kill them," Ming Qi said frankly.
Indeed, in his previous life, he normally wouldn't accept orders to kill women. As for why, he couldn't explain it himself.
However, Ming Qi's character had changed dramatically. He wouldn't let her off just because she was a woman. He said this because this was the Star Region, where killing between humans offered no benefit. The only thing to deal with was the Star Demons.
"Are you also someone lost here?"
The girl also took a few steps back, remaining alert.
She had already figured it out: this man was powerful. She couldn't possibly defeat him, and there was no reason to fight him to the death.
"Lost?"
Ming Qi was stunned, but then said, "No, I naturally have a way back to my own world. So you're lost here?"
The space-time teleportation arrays leading to the star field are not always stable. On the contrary, many constructed arrays are unstable. Once a teleportation array is damaged, those who enter the star field through it are essentially lost. The chances of finding another teleportation array are extremely slim, and it may take hundreds or even thousands of years to find one. In this situation, the only thing that awaits them is extreme loneliness, madness, and death.
"Then can you take me away from here?"
The girl's eyes suddenly filled with hope. She looked at Ming Qi, even her breathing quickened.
The desire for a way out is irresistible to any lost person.
Ming Qi thought for a moment and said, "But my world is not necessarily your world, and once you enter my world, you can never return to yours."
"I know."
The girl answered without hesitation, a direct affirmative.
"It seems you've been driven mad by this world," Ming Qi said.
"Yes, I'm practically mad."
The girl suddenly sheathed her dagger, took a few steps toward Ming Qi, and said, "In that case, let me welcome my savior in my own way."
She reached out, grabbed the collar of her shirt, and yanked hard, tearing the tight samurai attire apart. Two dazzling, snow-white, erect, and incredibly plump fleshy balls popped out. The alluring pink color immediately made Ming Qi's mouth dry.
"Are you planning to use this as payment for getting you out?"
Ming Qi asked, suppressing the rising heat.
"I guess so. If you can get me out of this hellhole, you're my savior. Come on!"
Hearing this, Ming Qi felt a sudden unease. It sounded like she was ready to die. But he immediately saw the same fiery glow in the girl's eyes. It wasn't just a longing for freedom and fresh air, but a different kind of yearning.
Ming Qi immediately understood that, amidst her boundless loneliness, she too longed for and yearned for the taste of sex.
"Alright, if that's the case, then I accept."
Without any warm prelude, Ming Qi charged forward with all his might, like a wolf dormant for countless ages.
"Ugh, ah..."
A hoarse chorus pierced his high pitch, and Ming Qi felt instantly enveloped by a blazing torrent. His consciousness shone only on the battlefield between them, nothing else.
The two of them, like dry wood and raging fire, instantly ignited.
After a long, contented battle, the two men lay face-up on the ground, gazing uninhibitedly at the eternal, unchanging sky of the starry sky.
After a long moment, Ming Qi finally let out a sigh and said, "Looks like I lost."
The girl lazily turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ming Qi. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "This is my first time. How could I possibly lose?"
Ming Qi turned his head away from her, saying, "No matter how many times, you clearly want it. But then again, you were so skilled the first time..."
The girl turned her head away and said no more.
...
The two of them stopped bickering. Both were exhausted after the battle, even more exhausted than fighting several powerful star monsters.
But Ming Qi had to admit, it was wonderful, the ultimate in beauty.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked, "What's your name? And where are you from? Now that you're my woman, I have to know."
"My name is Xingyun, and my world is called the Great Star World. Perhaps it's on the same level as yours."
"The Great Star World? Oh..."
Ming Qi suddenly realized his mind was still reminiscent of the aftermath of the battle. He rolled over and pushed the little sheep beside him down.
"Ah! What are you doing? It hurts! Ugh..."
