Alien Species Invasion? I Kill Them Back.

Chapter 89: Chapter 87: White-Eyed Wolf

"What an ungrateful wolf," Pei Xianjue sneered. "Looks like I picked the perfect Card for you. Now your wings have hardened, you think you can lord it over me? Liang Zhou, you live off me. What right do you have to tell me to choose? So what if you’ve been recruited by headquarters? As long as you haven’t officially started, you’re still just a dog of the Pei Family!"

The Gray Wolf’s eyes turned cold.

In truth, it was difficult to read any expression on a wolf’s face, but the atmosphere had undeniably grown tense.

The thick stench of blood from the battle lingered in the air, assaulting everyone’s senses. All their negative emotions lay dormant within it, threatening to erupt at the slightest provocation.

Baozi saw iridescent colors swirling around them—the vibrant red of anger, the dark purple of resentment, the deep black of hatred, and a flash of bright blue, like lightning—the killing intent that rose and fell with their emotions.

Every emotion a living being produced caused its cells to emit different pheromones. One of the abilities of Baozi’s Auspicious Heaven Card was to see these pheromones, regulate them, and soothe them.

He took a difficult step forward, walked to the Gray Wolf’s side, and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "Of course I’m going to trust my good brother."

The killing intent lessened...

"Should I not trust my own brother, and trust that Alien Species over there instead?" Baozi continued. "Even though Captain Su from Qingjiang City introduced her, this is still the first time we’ve met. If we run into real danger, I’d rather count on my brother than on her."

The anger subsided...

Baozi smiled and looked at Pei Xianjue. "You’re really something, Young Miss. Hero and I have been with you for seven years. Don’t you think we know your personality? You always have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Whenever we were out on a job and got hurt, you were more anxious than anyone. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to all that trouble to get Cards for the two of us. Cards are going for astronomical prices on the black market now."

The hatred receded...

The Gray Wolf slowly began to speak again. "Young Miss, don’t be willful. I’m also thinking of you. As the first Inspector to enter the Maze, what will you say when you’re interviewed in the future? That you managed to clear the Maze all thanks to an Alien Species and a Pollution Body? This is the first time humanity has set foot in the Maze. The significance is extraordinary. Young Miss, you need to take a longer view."

Pei Xianjue noticed Baozi shooting her a look.

She knew that in this situation, she should say something to smooth things over and mend their relationship. But she just couldn’t swallow her pride!

Gritting her teeth, she took a moment to compose herself and asked Liang Zhou as calmly as she could, "Before I choose, I want to know where exactly you got your Card."

The Gray Wolf was silent for a moment before answering, "President Pei gave it to me."

Hearing this, Pei Xianjue closed her eyes. Her hands, clenched into fists, trembled uncontrollably.

’She should have guessed!’

’Liang Zhou was with her every day. The only way he could have obtained a Card had to be from within the Pei Family!’

The Gray Wolf said, "President Pei has great foresight. He said the world is about to change, that wealth and power are not as important as Cards. You’re struggling to hold your ground alone at the Inspection Bureau, Young Miss. Once I’ve grown strong enough, I am to enter the alien species inspection organization as a representative of the Pei Family’s power."

"Such a good dog," Pei Xianjue sneered.

Without a single glance at the Gray Wolf, she reached out, grabbed Feng Ling’s wrist, and turned to leave, silently declaring her choice.

Feng Ling was taken aback when Pei Xianjue grabbed her. She glanced back at the Gray Wolf and Baozi, feeling as if she’d been dragged into some bizarre chaebol power struggle.

After they had taken a dozen or so steps, she heard Pei Xianjue say in a low voice, "Hurry, his Pollution Value is abnormal."

Feng Ling asked curiously, "Yesterday you said his bad temper was a side effect of his Card’s traits. Why do you now think it’s a problem with his Pollution Value?"

Pei Xianjue walked on in silence, her pace quickening.

Feng Ling hurried to catch up. "Hey, what about Baozi? Are you just leaving him?"

Pei Xianjue replied in a low voice, "There’s no other way... Right now, only Baozi can keep him stable. If the Giant Wolf goes berserk..."

As she spoke, Pei Xianjue couldn’t help but bite her lower lip and glance back.

By now, they had walked a good distance, and with the thick fog, the Gray Wolf’s silhouette was completely gone.

"The Maze is already full of danger. If the Giant Wolf goes crazy too, our chances of clearing the Maze will be even slimmer." Pei Xianjue seethed with frustration. "If I had known my dad gave him a Card, I would never have brought him into the Maze."

Feng Ling didn’t seem to care much about any of that. She murmured thoughtfully, "That guy is extremely hostile toward Alien Species, and he mentioned wanting to put ’clearing the Maze’ on his record as a merit. He probably doesn’t plan on leaving any witnesses. I need to go get the Daoist. It’s too dangerous to leave him in the safe house alone."

Hearing this, Pei Xianjue nodded. "Right. Let’s go back to the safe house and get the Daoist."

They returned to the Three Pure Ones Palace the way they came.

On the way, Pei Xianjue stewed over the situation with Liang Zhou, feeling wronged and furious. She said to Feng Ling, "After we get the Daoist, let’s leave the Maze first. I need to report this business with Liang Zhou as soon as possible. It’ll be a huge problem if he really loses control."

’I just got here and haven’t done anything yet,’ Feng Ling thought. ’Why are we leaving already?’

"You should just endure it," she said to Pei Xianjue.

Pei Xianjue froze for a second, then looked at Feng Ling. "...Huh?"

Feng Ling said with a serious expression, "I asked you before. No backing out once we enter the Maze. You said you’d thought it through."

Pei Xianjue was speechless for a moment, then stammered, "B-But this is an unforeseen circumstance, isn’t it?"

"Accidents are normal inside a Maze. It’d be weirder if everything went smoothly, right?" Feng Ling said. "So just endure it. We’ll get out once we’ve cleared the Maze."

Pei Xianjue stared at her, stunned. "Are you... serious?"

’Just the two of them?’

Feng Ling started walking forward again. "Don’t worry," she said as she walked. "We’re the first humans to enter the Maze. Even if we die in here, we’ll make headlines."

Pei Xianjue: "..."

’She was starting to regret this...’

’She’d refused to back down to her own bodyguard because she was too proud, and now she’d discovered that Feng Ling seemed even crazier than him. What was she supposed to do?’

’Her judgment had been clouded. She’d seen Feng Ling remain calm and collected the whole time and had forgotten that Feng Ling herself mentioned having a high Pollution Value before they entered the Maze.’

Pei Xianjue’s inner thoughts: (T_T)

......

...

Baozi watched Pei Xianjue’s figure disappear into the fog and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned back to Liang Zhou and said with a smile, "The Young Miss’s temper is just like that. Hero, I know you were doing it for her own good, but you shouldn’t have put her on the spot like that."

"Baozi, you still don’t get it," the Gray Wolf said flatly.

Baozi forced a smile. "Get what?"

"Card Holders are the next step in genetic evolution. We’re stronger, we live longer. If humanity wants to fight the Alien Species, they will have to put us on a pedestal. Money and power will no longer be what divides the classes—Cards will. Our next generation will be the true ’young masters’ and ’young misses.’ We are the ones who will stand at the very top. Understand?" the Gray Wolf said.

Baozi listened, stunned at first. Then he stretched his lips into a weak, accommodating smile. "Of course, what you’re saying makes sense. I just don’t think we needed to make things so tense. The Young Miss has always been pretty good to us..."

His words caught in his throat. His face gradually turned pale as he stared in disbelief at something behind the Gray Wolf.

Liang Zhou sensed something was wrong and immediately spun around, on guard.

CREAK...

The corpse on the ground, which had been thoroughly dead, slowly sat up.
