Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 805 - 535: Returning with Honor and Recuperating (2)

Soon, a fully armed unit appeared on the altar. The leading lieutenant colonel saluted Chen Gu: "Sir, we have been ordered to follow your command and escort you back to the Capital Star."The entire journey was of the highest standard. Seven main starships were even urgently transferred from the Star Sea—Chen Gu understood clearly that all this was not because of him, but because of the Insect Queen.

The landing craft carrying Chen Gu and his companions eventually entered a main starship, which immediately activated its warp drive and vanished from the Star Sea.

Chen Gu asked Milgray, "When do you plan to leave?"

Milgray replied, "I'm like a ticking time bomb beside you. Of course, you hope I leave quickly."

Chen Gu feigned an explanation, "Of course not."

Why not, he couldn't quite articulate.

Milgray merely gave Chen Gu a faint glance, "I have my own arrangements, no need for you to worry."

Chen Gu touched his nose, not daring to say anything more. But when the fleet arrived at the Capital Star, Milgray was still by his side and did not disappear halfway through, making Chen Gu genuinely uneasy, "Are you planning to stay on the Capital Star?"

Milgray rolled her eyes involuntarily from behind her visor, "Can't I?"

"This..."

A superlife hiding on the Capital Star of the Confederation! If the elders of the Elders' Council knew about this, they'd have sleepless nights, wouldn't they?

If one day the truth came out and it turned out that it was him who brought her back... Chen Gu couldn't help but shudder.

"Heh." Milgray chuckled coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not here for you." Then she parted her red lips slightly and said, "Useless man."

Veins popped out on Chen Gu's forehead, that's too much; this is already the second time!

Transferring from the main starship to the landing craft, and landing on the Capital Star, Chen Gu saw the principal waiting outside the spaceport from the cabin window, and couldn't help but turn to Milgray, "Principal?"

Milgray said faintly, "Besides him, who else can protect an injured superlife?"

Then Milgray deliberately raised her visor, looking at Chen Gu with a provocative gaze, "Are you suggesting relying on you? This useless man?"

Chen Gu: "..."

Chen Gu actually wanted to say don't overestimate the principal's integrity, you're seriously injured, hiding next to the principal, isn't this like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

Milgray seemed to see through Chen Gu's thoughts, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You're my talisman. If your worth in the principal's heart is as heavy as you say."

Chen Gu immediately understood, if the principal calculated against Milgray, then the first to suffer would be himself, since he had become symbiotically linked with her.

"Indeed, compared to you old schemers, I'm still too young..." The Great Actor Chen sighed.

"You" included Milgray and the principal.

From the military side, Bai Yunpeng also came, as well as several other bigwigs. Bai Yunpeng only had time to greet Chen Gu before rushing off urgently with the other leaders to receive the corpse of the Insect Queen.

But Chen Gu could understand, although human history has multiple times claimed victories were due to the killing of the Insect Queens, like the Valkyrie's famed battle, or the glory of the older son's brave rescue, the truth is that opportunities to kill an Insect Queen were few and far between.

And even when one was killed, they did not get the body.

Like that time of Chen Jixian, which Chen Gu now recalled, the one killed should have been a field commander.

Most field commanders were well-hidden, so Chen Gu suspected that the older son probably just had a stroke of luck.

Now there was finally an Insect Queen to study, captured within the Confederation's borders after other search team members had perished, genuinely, you couldn't blame the military bigwigs for being less reserved.

The principal stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, calm as a cloud, putting on the demeanor of a master beyond this world.

At least it appeared so on the surface.

Seeing Chen Gu and Milgray disembark from the spacecraft, he waved gently.

After recuperating on the journey, Milgray had recovered a bit, no longer needing Chen Gu's assistance.

Chen Gu quickly noticed Milgray walking faster, overtaking him and heading straight for the principal. Chen Gu immediately realized it, his face turning pale, "Don't court death..."

If you die, that's one thing, but don't drag me down with you.

Unexpectedly, the principal "retreated in fear" one step, and as Milgray reached him, he lowered his voice with a hint of plea, "In public, give me some face."

Ultimately, Milgray didn't land that slap.

But the superlife gritted her teeth, wishing she could eat the principal alive, "You've ruined me!"

"An accident, hehe, purely an accident." The principal's façade of a worldly sage crumbled instantly.

Milgray said, "From now on, I will not leave your side until I am fully recovered!"

The principal put on a bitter face, "That won't do; you know I have a bunch of tigresses at home. If you come back with me, won't they eat me alive?"

The principal suddenly rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Gu beside him, "You'd better stick with Chen Gu, his abilities are quite good for the planet's surface, he can surely protect you."
