Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1138: No Need To Worry

Li Qianlin assured Zhang Lie, "Don't worry, I gave up on my plan to drug you after recalling that you're immune to third-realm poisons."

So you really did think about this plan in some detail! Women truly couldn't be roused to anger, and the most beautiful were frequently the most deadly.

"Follow me."

"Where?" Li Qianlin asked.

"We'll leave the Zongming world for now and head to the draconian world instead."

Li Qianlin cocked her head. "And then you'll ditch me there?"

Zhang Lie went silent.

"I'll feel the same way no matter where I am." As long as I'm without you, it's all the same to me. "At the very least, however, this is my homeworld."

Li Qianlin's reasoning left Zhang Lie uncertain of how to respond. "Or do you intend to keep me company all throughout?"

"I'm sorry." Zhang Lie was unable to give her a firm promise.

"My intention isn't to blame you." Li Qianlin knew that Zhang Lie's excursions to combat stronger and stronger foes was to protect them, to protect the entirety of the Zongming world.

"I'm sorry."

Upon witnessing Zhang Lie's dejected expression, Li Qianlin was silent for a few moments. She replied, "Well, I am getting a little tired of staying home. I don't mind accompanying you."

As she packed and prepared to leave, Zhang Lie informed Li Zongming, "I'll be taking Li Qianlin with me for some time."

Li Zongming nodded, beckoning them away.

Li Qianlin asked, "Why did you want to bring me to the draconian world all of a sudden?"

"I wanted to spend more time with you."

"Couldn't we have done that here?" She felt as though there were something Zhang Lie was keeping from her.

"It doesn't feel that safe around here."

Li Qianlin cocked her head. "Isn't that all the more reason for you to stay?"

"Your father's around, too."

Li Qianlin narrowed her eyes. "What's the real issue?"

Zhang Lie confessed, "The king of keys had a son who surrendered, and I'm leaving him in the Zongming world for now."

Li Qianlin's eyes widened. "Isn't that equivalent to leaving a bomb here?!"

Zhang Lie waved a hand. "No, nothing so serious, and he has no intention of seeking revenge. Even if he did, don't underestimate your father's strength. After absorbing the spoils of war he's gained, your father's as strong as any superior king of antiquity. There are only a rare few people who would be able to hurt your father in his own world—as far as I know, only the members of Team Zenith."

After all, superior kings had an extreme advantage in their own worlds.

After that, Zhang Lie returned to the draconian world, where he immediately made a beeline for the genetic lifeform farm to check on Zhu's progress. He found it to be filled with pits and holes, with a large number of genetic lifeforms' carcasses around.

The draconian sage and the members of Team Zenith were all gathered at the farm.

Seeing the bloodstains on their clothes, though the blood was from the genetic lifeforms, Zhang Lie asked dubiously, "What's going on?"

"Zhang Lie, you're back!" Zhu rushed up to him and hugged him tightly.

The draconian sage let out a deep breath. "Zhang Lie, you're finally back! We wouldn't have known what to do otherwise."

Zhu lowered her head in apology. "It was all my fault. The unusual monarch-grade lifeform went on a rampage."

"What happened to it?"

Zhu frowned. "It grew even faster than expected and became particularly recalcitrant. I thought this was an ordinary part of its growth and didn't pay much attention. It's all my fault."

The draconian sage added, "Actually, that lifeform has misbehaved more than once, and it took I and Zhu's combined effort to stop it from rampaging.

"Bring me over."

Deep within the farm, the two rampaging lifeforms had calmed down.

The special monarch-grade lifeform had, shockingly, reached a stage beyond even ordinary monarch-grade.

"A post-monarch-grade lifeform... no wonder even the disaster-grade mistmeld clam soulshard had little effect on it," Zhang Lie surmised.

It had gradually been freeing itself from the influence of Zhang Lie's disaster-grade mistmeld clam soulshard, which was very potent, but ultimately restricted by its grade.

The fact that it could even influence monarch-grade lifeforms was impressive enough, but that was it. At most, it would enforce obedience from monarch-grade lifeforms, but those lifeforms that went beyond it would be extremely difficult to control.

"Even so, the mistmeld clam soulshard should have had some effect, especially in conjunction with Zhu's special ability. It looks like this monarch-grade lifeform is truly special."

Was it a mutant that had come into existence by natural chance?

Perhaps it had been willing to lie low while it was amassing its strength, taking advantage of the farm's abundant resources and nourishing food, biding its time until it was beyond even the draconian sage's control.

p>When it ascended to monarch-grade and stabilized its foundations, this unusual lifeform finally felt strong enough to break free—only to find the members of Team Zenith back in the draconian world.

Against the members of Team Zenith, who were able to take down even the superior kings of antiquity, the unusual genetic lifeform was little threat.

"It's a bit dangerous..." ...almost like a ticking time bomb.

Zhu lowered her head in shame. "Zhang Lie, it's all my fault. I didn't take proper care of the farm..."

Sun Mengmeng shook her head. "No, Zhu, it isn't. We were too indiscriminate with our attacks, and we ended up killing more lifeforms than we should have."

Zhang Lie waved a hand. "They're just genetic lifeforms—it's no matter. Conveniently, I have a number of genetic lifeforms under temporary storage in the scaleman world, and it's past time I reclaimed them. I'll be heading to the scaleman world shortly to claim those lifeforms and replenish our losses. Zhu, don't worry—this wasn't your fault."

Li Qianlin hugged Zhu and caressed her head.

"Right, we can't blame Zhu for this. If there's anyone to blame, it's the person who spends all his time gallivanting about without even coming to check on the situation."

Zhang Lie touched his nose, tacitly acquiescing.

On the other hand, Sun Mengmeng defended him. "Our captain's simply trying to protect the three newly evolved superior worlds! He risks his life in every fight—it's all thanks to him that we can live in such an idyllic fashion."

Zhang Lie calmed them down. "Alright, alright, let's not argue about this further."

Zhu asked, "Shall I continue feeding it?"

Zhang Lie thought for a moment. "Let's do so. I'm curious just what its limits might be."

To the draconian sage, Zhang Lie was undoubtedly playing with fire, but he had the strength to do so. Despite the fact that the unusual monarch-grade lifeform was beyond a regular monarch-grade one in strength, it paled in comparison to Zhang Lie.

The draconian sage asked worriedly, "What if the lifeform goes on a rampage again?"
