She turned her head in surprise and discovered that Jia Yan, who was just moments ago conversing with Lord Flame in the universe, whom all beings could only look up to, was now somehow instantaneously behind her.
Moreover, his expression seemed vaguely unfriendly.
"Un... Uncle..."
Jia Qi could hardly muster a smile.
"Hmph, it’s been more than half a year, and you’ve grown taller." Jia Yan gazed at her, speaking coldly: "But Uncle Brain feels like your mind is getting smaller?"
"Tell me, do you have a mind duller than your sister’s, actually believing the words of the Great Empire, and coming all the way to the Kawai Defense Line, and now you think this place is fun?"
Jia Yan turned on the scolding mode, and as Jia Qi listened, she knew she was wrong, tears rolled down her face, not daring to wipe them away.
"You still have the nerve to cry, do you know where you went wrong?!"
Jia Yan was truly angry.
"Uncle, I know I was wrong, I won’t dare do it again." Jia Qi’s small shoulders trembled as she cried sadly.
Seeing her like this, Jia Yan’s heart softened. After all, she was his little niece whom he watched grow up, and he was angry only because she nearly put herself in mortal danger. If he hadn’t arrived just in time today, the consequences could have been disastrous.
"Forget it, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Back in the day, your mom even... sigh, let’s not talk about it." Jia Yan almost brought up Jia Lin’s past mistakes, but thought better of it, choosing to let his sister maintain some dignity in her daughter’s eyes.
"Alright, come back with Uncle now." Jia Yan said this one sentence.
In Jia Yan’s original thoughts, the Kawai Defense Line indeed had a somewhat overheated battle situation recently. His intention was to stay here and clear the battlefront, to gain some control over the situation.
But since Little Jia Qi was here now, other matters could only be postponed.
Unexpectedly, just as Jia Yan said this, a figure near the bridge interrupted the conversation, feeling slightly awkward.
"Ahem, this... Honorable Lord Jia Yan, greetings, I am the Fifth Prince of the Great Empire."
This man had extremely outstanding looks and spoke elegantly, doing his best to act at his best level.
Yet he felt his calves were still trembling.
This was a super-powerful person who might far exceed the two Guardian Gods of their Great Empire, and rumors were rife in the Orion Arm that Mister Jia Yan of Earth Civilization was the strongest in the entire Orion Arm. As the Fifth Prince, he understood this well.
The scene he witnessed earlier confirmed this thought for him, and now he was naturally very afraid, for in the presence of such a strong one, the identity of the Fifth Prince seemed laughable.
"Hmm? Your Royal Highness, the Fifth Prince, greetings." Jia Yan glanced at him.
Of course, he had known from the start that an annoying person was there, but Jia Yan had no intention of bothering with him.
"Mister Jia Yan, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Princess Jia Qi, I just happened to be here. However, regarding the matter you mentioned about wanting to take Princess Jia Qi back to Earth, I don’t think it’s appropriate."
Faced with Jia Yan, the Fifth Prince steeled himself to speak.
"Do I need Your Royal Highness, the Fifth Prince, to teach me how to handle my affairs? I don’t recall pledging allegiance to your Empire." A gleam flashed in Jia Yan’s eyes.
Then the Fifth Prince seemed to suffer an extremely terrifying blow, causing him to stagger back a step, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
Jia Yan demonstrated through his actions his dissatisfaction with the actions of the Great Empire, especially as they had deceived Jia Qi into going to the Kawai Defense Line, which incensed him greatly.
Otherwise, no matter how he saw himself as a strong one, he wouldn’t be so inconsiderate as to attack a Fifth Prince of the Great Empire.
Yet the Fifth Prince still refused to back down.
"Mister Jia Yan, to speak frankly, our Kawai Defense Line is at a loss, otherwise why would we resort to tricking Miss Jia Qi into coming to the frontline for such a shameful thing?"
"My Lord, look, the Kawai Defense Line is now in a ghastly state. If you don’t lend a hand, it might collapse any day now."
"Miss Jia Qi and the others will be well protected by us, you could just spare some time to help the front line, for the lips perish and the teeth are cold, my Lord."
The Fifth Prince unexpectedly began to plead, though not tearfully so, his words were earnest and didn’t sound like lies.
"This..."
Jia Yan hesitated for a moment.
He had seen on his way here that the Kawai Defense Line was filled with scenes of battles, and ordinary bases could only endure attacks from an external Honored level or even just a Star Space Level.
And the Honorable Level strong ones within the Orion Arm struggled against the external Star Space Level, not to mention the increasingly frequent appearance of Secondary Level figures.
The Kawai Defense Line was indeed on the verge of collapse.
This moment of Jia Yan’s hesitation saw Jia Qi step forward, holding Jia Yan’s arm and swaying it slightly, acting a bit spoiled: "Uncle, they’re so pitiful, I promise to retreat behind the line, please help them."
Jia Qi was still moved by the words that had persuaded her months ago, such as if the Kawai Defense Line failed, it would be only a matter of time before Earth faced a crisis, and there were also vast business opportunities on this line, which could greatly benefit Earth’s commercial civilization.
This is the reason why Jia Qi is speaking at this moment.
Jia Yan hesitated for a moment. In fact, he also agreed with the words of the Fifth Prince, but he couldn’t forgive the other party’s cunning tricks in his heart.
Moreover, with his presence, Jia Qi’s safety should be ensured.
The Fifth Prince seemed to have realized where the crux of the matter lay.
"Mister Jia Yan, in order to compensate for the psychological harm caused to the many Earth allies this time, our Great Empire will provide supplies to the Earth Civilization. Moreover, it seems that you are in need of the ancient essence blood of our senior ancestors. I will mention your request at the next royal family meeting. If the family members agree, you may have the chance to obtain part of our family’s essence blood."
"Oh?"
A flash of intrigue flickered in Jia Yan’s eyes.
His need for the Great Empire’s essence blood was clear for all to see. The disappearance a while ago was due to obtaining a diluted version of the essence blood from No Starlight Domain, and it’s likely the Great Empire is aware of this information.
However, he hadn’t received any confirmation from the Great Empire regarding the essence blood, it seems the other party wouldn’t easily hand it over.
But unexpectedly, the Fifth Prince pointed out the matter in this situation.
Even if there are definitely obstacles in the middle, Jia Yan is not worried. As long as they have mentioned this matter, there will be opportunities to maneuver in the future. It’s better than having to fight for it later.
Of course, there’s also the Fifth Prince’s explicit offer of compensation to Earth, these icing-on-the-cake gestures are pleasing.
He already had the answer in his mind, and finally nodded slightly after pondering for a moment.
"Alright, since His Royal Highness, the Fifth Prince, is so sincere, I will lend a hand to your defense line for now. However, Xiao Qi’s safety requires you to invest more power and effort."
"We absolutely will. Even if my brother and I die, we will never allow any harm to come to Jia Qi, the Little Princess."
...
The legendary ’Jia Yan’ Lord appeared once again.
Even appearing, he dissolved an external biological attack aimed at the Earth Reinforcement Fleet.
In that battle, according to the creatures present, one could say it was an eye-opening experience. Lord Jia Yan’s power was practically divine and unfathomable.
Almost all soldiers who witnessed this battle held immense admiration for Lord Jia Yan. Even though they didn’t contribute at all, they recounted the scene with awe to their colleagues who had not seen it, boasting endlessly.
Through their words, almost all the warriors of the defense line, who were on the verge of collapse, found the faintest glimmer of hope.
Although this hope was faint, it was better than having no hope at all.
Unexpectedly to everyone, Lord Jia Yan’s efficiency was astonishing. Before they could even spread the news of Jia Yan thoroughly, he had already demonstrated his methods and strength.
Boom!!
Above the sky, beside a crack in subspace, the sound of explosions vibrated through the entire vacuum.
This unique vacuum vibrating sound indicated ’Lord Jia Yan’, the attack phenomenon from the sub-dimension organisms.
With this explosion sound, an external dignitary being died silently amidst its roars.
And the Mister Jia Yan who attacked, didn’t even show his face. At least, none of the creatures on the battlefield saw his shadow. They only saw the space twist before he left directly.
Not long after, a similar scene happened again not far from this battlefield.
Jia Yan’s avatar, acting as a firefighter, reappeared within the Kawai Defense Line.
After more than half a year, he was still doing the same tasks, but not only did the external creatures seem to have grown stronger, Jia Yan’s avatar had also significantly grown in power.
So even if the external creatures seemed more numerous and stronger, in front of the even mightier Jia Yan, they were almost unmatched adversaries.
His efficiency had improved significantly.
The scenes of this battle were like a strong stimulant, greatly boosting the spirits of all creatures within the Kawai Defense Line.
"This Venerable Level creature is not scary, let’s form a formation to hold it back!"
"Yes, it’s not scary. Although we have only five hundred battleships, as long as we hold it for half an hour, Mister Jia Yan will arrive and strike it down in one blow."
Throughout the Kawai Defense Line, terrifying combat power erupted almost everywhere. Though Jia Yan couldn’t really arrive instantly at any point along the defense line, with the hope he presented, the soldiers displayed a completely different demeanor than before.
Jia Yan was fighting outside.
And the Earth fleet in name, after the previous crisis, was deployed to a place half a light-year away from the defense line.
Here, although still close to the defense line, no external creature had ever reached such a distant point from the barrier, truly a backline.
"Wow, look, our Mister Jia Yan is so impressive. Again with an external Secondary Level powerhouse, in just three strikes, he killed it. So terrifying, I never knew our Earth Guardian Deity is such a fearsome strong one in the entire Orion Arm."
