CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 258: RETURN TO EARTH, DISASTER STRIKES

Finally, Qin Long took one last glance at greedy snake and the other synthetic monsters, and gave some serious advice.

"Kid, these beasts are far stronger than their master. Problems could arise. Even though you’ve activated the rare Beast Breeding Talent, if you’re not careful, you could end up playing with fire."

Qin Shou nodded, "Don’t worry, Headmaster. I’ve got it under control."

"Alright, take care of yourself. I’m leaving."

"Headmaster, you’re leaving so soon? Stay for a bowl of noodles..."

"Scram!"

"Got it! Goodbye, Headmaster!"

Under Qin Shou’s astonished gaze, Qin Long’s figure seemed to merge with the void. His mortal body ascended into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that vanished into the night.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a Demigod-level expert. Damn, they’re truly something else."

Qin Shou admired him for a moment, then raised the Ultimate Battle Instrument high. The synthetic monsters transformed into balls of light, flooding into the weapon’s space meteorites at both ends.

Using the Pioneer Clan’s space-channeling technology, he linked the internal space of the Ultimate Battle Instrument to System Space.

Though it seemed a bit flashy, it would probably come in handy someday.

After storing the Giant God Race’s corpse, Qin Shou released the Strongest Snail and entered the capsule apartment within Snail Space.

"Master, Master, you’re finally back! Zhi Yin missed you so much!"

As soon as he stepped through the door, a familiar fishy smell hit him. Reflexively, Qin Shou hugged the flying Zhi Yin... then executed an over-the-shoulder throw, sending Zhi Yin hurtling toward the bathroom.

"Ah..."

"Pfft..."

He clapped his slightly sticky hands and flicked his bangs with flair as he headed upstairs.

The recently emerged Red Tai Lang looked on, then sighed deeply.

"Ah, men who love the fresh and forsake the old..."

...

The headmaster had instructed him to return to Earth, so Qin Shou didn’t continue to linger. He signaled the Strongest Snail to fly in the direction of Morlo Kingdom.

Upgraded to Nightmare Four Stars, the Strongest Snail’s flight speed had seen considerable improvement. In less than half a month, it had landed at Morlo Kingdom’s National Master Mansion.

Returning to Earth Base City would still take about a week.

Fortunately, there was still some time left before the interstellar war began, giving Qin Shou ample time to prepare.

The giant dragon snail descended onto the ground amidst howling winds, and countless citizens knelt in respect.

Because it was the mount of Lord National Master.

In the empty garden, space distorted as Qin Shou’s silhouette slowly materialized.

Feng Yixiao, leading several servants each carrying a plate of bananas, happened to pass by. Seeing Qin Shou appear there, they hurriedly greeted him but wore puzzled expressions.

"Lord National Master, weren’t you in the room? How come..." Feng Yixiao asked curiously.

Qin Shou glanced at them, his cheek twitching.

The days of this clone seemed quite indulgent; even eating bananas was such a grand affair.

He waved dismissively and spoke nonchalantly, "Nothing much. I just received a notice that I’ll be leaving here soon. A new Divine Envoy will come to take over. Don’t worry."

Although there was still some time left before the one-year task deadline, Qin Shou didn’t care about a few measly task points.

He hadn’t come here for points in the first place, so leaving wasn’t a big deal to him.

"What? Leaving Morlo Kingdom?"

Hearing this, everyone turned pale and fell to their knees to plead.

"Lord National Master, please don’t abandon us. The people of Morlo Kingdom cannot live without you!!"

"Yes, Lord National Master..."

"Lord National Master, we beg you not to go..."

As Feng Yixiao and others spoke, tears flowed freely, memories of the past flooding their minds, filling their hearts with sorrow.

During this period, the banana-loving Lord National Master had no airs about him. Whenever he had time, he’d take them outside the city to hunt for monster bird eggs and even taught them Divine Country martial arts...

Such a wonderful Lord National Master was truly one of a kind for a lifetime.

Faced with their extreme reaction, Qin Shou was baffled.

Have I really gotten this popular here?

What’s going on?

Soon, he figured it out.

It was surely because of the Monkey Avatar.

With Brother Monkey’s playful nature, the clone wasn’t likely to be much different.

Chances are, the clone got along well with these people and was generous, making them naturally unwilling to part.

What a mess.

Without paying them any mind, Qin Shou had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around.

Seeing this, Feng Yixiao and the others rejoiced. The Lord National Master must be reluctant to leave us!

Qin Shou stretched out his hand, "Feng Yixiao, since I’m leaving, you can return the Divine Light Stick to me."

Feng Yixiao: "..."

How could this happen? The Lord National Master is so heartless, so ruthless...

...

After retrieving the Monkey Avatar, Qin Shou embarked on the journey back to Earth Base City once more.

During the Monkey Avatar’s tenure, the monster population around Morlo Kingdom had essentially been cleared. Even if the successor didn’t arrive for a couple of months, there wouldn’t be any issues.

Ah, spit. Why am I worrying about this?

In the capsule apartment’s lobby, Qin Shou shook his head sharply. A soft heart is unbecoming of a man.

"Beep... Honorable Master, a monster has breached a native city ten kilometers ahead. Should we proceed to assist?"

At that moment, Galatron’s mechanical synthesized voice suddenly rang in his ear.

On this boundless Monster Planet, native cities disappearing due to various causes was a routine occurrence. Qin Shou was already used to it.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shou spoke, "Speed up, prepare to rescue."

As long as it was within his abilities, Qin Shou didn’t mind saving the native inhabitants of this planet.

After all, in his past life, whenever he encountered stray cats and dogs, he’d feed them. So how could he ignore these beings that looked almost human?

It was ironic when he thought about it.

Here was Qin Shou, about to head to the interstellar battlefield to slaughter lives, playing the role of a "righteous savior" in the meantime.

Humans, we’re indeed complicated.
