Chapter 578 The Rivalry Between Crimson Flame and Ice Prison
Beneath the cold alloy mask of Ice Prison, her pretty face was already burning red, almost dripping with water.
What's wrong with me?
Why do I unconsciously want to get closer to him... to hold his hand?
"Even though I'm the calmest judge in the courtroom... I feel weak all over just hearing him breathe..."
The contradictory feeling of extreme shyness, yet subconsciously feeling that it was "perfectly natural," was almost causing her thought process to crash.
Seeing that Ice Prison had moved, Chi Yan was not about to fall behind.
She turned slightly to the side, her voice trembling with shyness, yet carrying an indescribable tenderness, and whispered:
"Master... the central region of the Alpha Star Sector is extremely vast, encompassing an area of thirty light-years."
"Too many planets, too many places, and too many people, it's all so chaotic... How about... you just come and stay at my house?"
Chi Yan's voice grew softer and softer, even carrying a hint of anticipation:
"I recently bought an independent celestial body... It's a planet that belongs entirely to me, with the highest level of defense, and absolutely no one would dare to disturb it."
"An independent celestial body?" Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. Are the Arbitrators' salaries really that high?
When Bingyu heard that Chiyan had "jumped the gun," he immediately panicked.
She abruptly raised her head, disregarding her embarrassment, and immediately spoke:
"Master! The Crimson Flame celestial body was artificially modified. All its air and circulation systems are man-made. Living there for a long time will make you uncomfortable."
"Why don't you come to my place? I have a manor on a native planet in the residential area. It's a truly natural ecosystem, and the air even contains trace amounts of psionic energy, which is extremely beneficial for cultivation..."
Two adjudicators who usually joked and killed each other across galaxies were now arguing like neighbor girls vying for Lin Qiye's affections, trying to decide whose house Lin Qiye should stay at.
Their use of terms like "master" and "master"—referring to a planet or an independent celestial body—drew the attention of passersby with its extravagant and inhumane pronouncements.
Since everyone came out through the VIP passage reserved for the courtroom, the originally noisy crowd, though surprised to see Lin Qiye and his group emerge, dared not say anything and subconsciously fell silent.
Although the pedestrians were extremely shocked by the sight of the two big guys pulling a small man, and even vaguely heard outrageous words like "master" and "independent celestial body".
However, due to their long-standing fear of the courtroom, most people only glanced at it quickly before hurrying away, not daring to stop and look for even half a second longer.
However, as top-tier extraordinary powerhouses, Chi Yan and Bing Yu possessed extremely keen senses.
Even though the pedestrians around them walked very fast, some subtle whispers, filled with astonishment and disdain, still pierced their ears like steel needles.
"...My God, look at those two judges, are they insane?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Didn't you hear what they called that little man?"
"This is madness! The dignity of the court has been completely lost, done in broad daylight..."
"How dare you say such a thing? Get out of here! You might get arrested!"
Hearing these comments, Chi Yan and Bing Yu suddenly stiffened.
Inside the God of War armor, two stunningly beautiful faces instantly flushed red, the blush spreading down their necks to their chests, burning intensely.
They then realized that they were not on the warship that only contained their own people.
Rather, it is the gateway to the Taurus main constellation, a public place that attracts everyone's attention!
In front of Lin Qiye, they were indeed as docile as cats, and that deep sense of submission made them completely unreserved in private.
But to the outside world, they remain the Arbiters who strike fear into the hearts of countless galaxies, the sharp blades of the Empire that walk in the darkness!
The shame brought about by this huge sense of identity disparity was like a surging tide, instantly overwhelming them.
"Whoosh—!"
The two of them almost reacted as if they had been electrocuted, abruptly releasing Lin Qiye's hand.
The movement was so fast that it even created a slight gust of air.
"Master...Master, we're sorry! We lost our composure!"
Bingyu lowered his head first. Although his voice sounded somewhat cold through the synthesizer, the panic in it was impossible to hide.
Her broad alloy shoulders trembled slightly, and she dared not look at Lin Qiye through the eyes behind her mask.
Chi Yan also took a step back, his large alloy hand that had been holding Lin Qiye clenched into a fist and placed on his side.
"I...I'll go handle the immigration procedures!"
Chi Yan left those words behind, turned and walked away, his hurried steps even carrying a hint of fleeing in panic.
Looking at the two of them looking uneasy, Lin Qiye glanced down at his own free hands and couldn't help but chuckle.
He turned around and found Ye Hongyu standing behind him with her arms crossed, looking at him with a half-smile.
Chen Tianyang, Zhou Ming, and the others looked up at the sky, as if they knew nothing.
"Cough, let's go."
"Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the StarNet Center now."
Bingyu calmed himself down slightly, losing his earlier awkwardness:
"Purchase a trial period for StarNet there. All citizens arriving in the sector must connect to the StarNet's astral plane through a StarNet helmet before officially receiving the 'Fire Seed'."
"Only in the Astral Plane can one participate in the Martial God's Fire Seed Tournament!"
"Only those who advance can obtain the Spark in the Astral Plane, thus becoming official members of the Star Network!"
Chen Tianyang, who was standing to the side, asked, "Lord Bingyu, is the current price... still one Galaxy Origin Coin per year?"
Ice Prison nodded: "The price hasn't changed."
She looked at Lin Qiye, her originally cold voice softening slightly: "Master has just arrived on the main star and hasn't completed all the formalities yet, so it's inconvenient for him to exchange currency. I'll pay for Master's expenses."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, without refusing.
After all, Ice Prison was his blood servant, belonging to him in both soul and body, so such service was only natural to him.
