The moment Chu Zheng left Reformation ce, he almost felt as if he were in another world.


    The taming process inside Reformation ce was unbearable for ordinary people. Had Chu Zheng shown any signs of resistance, it would have been excruciatingly painful.


    It was akin to being shattered to pieces and then reassembled, far more terrifying than brainwashing.


    Returning to his senses, Chu Zheng nced at the father and daughter duo, a trace of Spiritual Light flickering in his pupils.


    Soon, all the information about the two entered Chu Zheng''s mind. To his surprise, neither of them had chips imnted at the back of their brains.


    There might be some hidden issues involved.


    [Qi Shanyong (Second Order): Bone age sixty-three, third-generation Gene Evolver of the Tianyao Federation, Chairman of Star Peak Corporation. (Detail)]


    [Detailed information: During the third evolution, his genes mutated, and he developed a hidden illness. His lifespan drastically reduced, with an estimated thirty years of life remaining, constantly immersed in seeking various methods of life extension. (Repairable.)]


    [Qi Hua (First Order): Bone age fifteen, second-generation Gene Evolver of the Tianyao Federation, the only daughter of the Chairman of Star Peak Corporation. (Detail)]


    [Detailed information: Has taken too many lives, surrounded by Blood Fiend, fond of raw food, and already showing signs of Demon Transformation.]


    Qi Shanyong was still manageable, but the issues with Qi Hua were quite rming.


    The human heart is fickle. Straying off the path, bing consumed by inner demons, one would fall into malevolence.


    This kind of malevolence, though somewhat different from the malevolent beings in the hidden realms of the Vast Universe, was equally terrifying. They were ferocious beings that had almostpletely eradicated all Spirituality.


    Qi Hua was already wrapped in Blood Fiend. The beings she had killed numbered no less than a thousand, and perhaps even thousands.


    Considering her age, this was undeniably frightening, as her killing seemed almost unceasing.


    Moreover, even the repair panel could not pull her back from the evil path. After all, this was merely another path, not an Ipleteness.


    Qi Hua, humming an unknown tune, led Chu Zheng, following behind Qi Shanyong onto a flying vehicle.


    Soon, the flying vehicle soared into the sky, paused for a moment, then tore through the sound barrier, unleashing a majestic tidal wave of air as it headed directly north.


    ...


    ...


    A whileter, the flying vehicle slowed down and descended onto a spaciouswn.


    Chu Zheng silently observed, gaining a clearer understanding of Star Peak Corporation''s power.


    Having been in the Tianyao Federation for some time, he had already acquired a general understanding of its basic information.


    The star he now stepped onto was named ''Heaven''s Gift,'' one of the Tianyao Federation''s several crucial Main Stars.


    A thousand years ago, it did not belong to the Tianyao Federation. Another civilization thrived here until the Tianyao Federation took over the star after interster warfare, and named it Heaven''s Gift.


    The original inhabitants of this star became ves. Only a few exceptional ones could attain the status of lower-ss citizens and enjoy a minuscule portion of ordinary citizens'' privileges.


    Here, the Tianyao Federation established a governing district, along with logistics, amodating a total of four million Gene Evolvers in its iron army and housing a poption of 24.6 billion people. Continue your journey at empire


    The star was already crowded, making every inch ofnd valuable. To have such a vastwn in such an environment was undoubtedly a luxurious affair.


    The instant the flying vehicle came to a stop, Qi Hua could not wait to pull Chu Zheng out of the hatch, her face full of excitement:


    "Father, I''m going to take a bath first. I want to try him outter!"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    To this, Qi Shanyong smiled indulgently, love filling his eyes, "Be careful."


    "I know!"


    Qi Hua pulled Chu Zheng away without looking back. Momentster, they entered a mansion. There were maids visible all around; they were not bionic machines, but living people.


    Without exception, the information about these people all marked them as lower-ss citizens, clearly descendants of the indigenous people of this star.


    Before Chu Zheng could take a closer look, Qi Hua had already dragged him into a massive room—more a pce than a room.


    Columns of jade supported the enormous dome, and the dark red walls were iid with unknown gems. Complicated patterns wove into gorgeous designs, intecing gold and silver, the extravagance extreme.


    Thick plush curtains hid the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. At the center of the room was a snow-white, softrge bed, big enough for ten people to lie across.


    Once inside the room, Qi Hua casually tied Chu Zheng to a column and immediately began to undress. In just a few breaths, she waspletely nude.


    Watching Qi Hua hop into the bathroom, Chu Zheng''s gaze turned slightly cold.


    The sense of modesty in humans is something that arises in the presence of one''s peers.


    Like in his previous life, the vast majority of people would not mind stripping and bathing in front of their household cats and dogs.


    This alone made it evident that Qi Hua never considered him a person.


    Shortly after, Qi Hua emerged from the bathroom, not bothering to dress, with only a towel draped over her neck, glistening water droplets rolling down her fair skin, shimmering in the light as if coated with a sheen.


    She walked straight up to Chu Zheng, reached out to touch his head, and spoke with a smile, "Can you understand what I''m saying?"


    Because she was so close, Chu Zheng could smell her fragrance, mixed with an elusive scent of blood.


    "Yes," Chu Zheng nodded, "Miss Qi, I..."


    Until this moment, he still held onto the hope of escaping safely, wanting to negotiate with Qi Hua.
