Chapter 400 - 197: The Returning Hero? (Part 2)
In fact, if one investigates carefully, Yun Cuixi’s identity does not hold up to scrutiny. Due to gene rejection, it’s extremely difficult to have cross-species childbirth, and natural conception is even more challenging. Even if one barely has a child, there are many subsequent issues.
Of course, if one reproduces with a closely related species, gene rejection will be greatly reduced. Yun Cuixi’s heritage, although barely acceptable, is also the most flawless. His popularity is partly because he is the mysterious "interstellar hybrid"!
Most "interstellar hybrids" don’t have high talents. Even if an exceptionally brilliant individual emerges, they likely would have some genetic issues, leading to a short life and early death. But Yun Cuixi is different, he is extremely powerful, and so far, no hidden risks have been detected!
Su Jiameng mocked those who hyped that "Yun Cuixi will definitely become an Admiral within fifty years," partly because he is an "interstellar hybrid." No matter in this life or the previous one, the Alliance has always adhered to the principle that those not of our kind may have different hearts!
The Alliance might let Yun Cuixi become a Lieutenant General or even a Vice Admiral, but it’s impossible for him to climb to the rank of Admiral or even Marshal. Unless Yun Cuixi’s other partners have already climbed to higher positions, and the nine of them join forces, bit by bit eating away!
However... what can nine people accomplish? At most, they could climb to high levels and then look out and help each other, but they can’t form a military and political aristocratic family like the Gu Family or the Qin Family! Their influence on the outside is far inferior to those great families!
It’s precisely because they are inferior and lack that kind of depth, that Su Jiameng dares to claim she is confident she can assassinate them all secretly!
Of course, by the time she actually digs out all nine people in the future, she finds that reality is far more complicated than she imagined... Yun Cuixi is just the least successful of the nine, ranking lowest in both power and influence!
"Changxi... go and confirm this matter once more, it is of utmost importance and we must not act carelessly."
Although there’s a saying on this world that goes "Better to kill a thousand by mistake than miss a single one," the target Su Jiameng wants to move against now is a "Lieutenant General." How many Lieutenant Generals are there in the entire Alliance for her to mistakenly kill?
Changxi took the order, and the two cross-verified various clues again. Even after rounds of rigorous and thorough scrutiny, the outcome did not change. This Yun Cuixi is indeed one of the nine she is looking for! However, as a Lieutenant General level figure, having been a Major General herself, Su Jiameng knows there would be guards stealthily accompanying him. It’s indeed challenging to act without anyone knowing.
Changxi tidied up his gloves with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "The master shouldn’t worry about how to eliminate that Yun Cuixi now."
Su Jiameng supported her chin with one hand, idly nodding in response, saying, "I naturally know this. With my current strength, let alone assassinate the opponent, it’s already pretty good not to be counter-killed. Moreover, Gu Ningzhi has departed with the Expedition Army, and finding traces of the Insect Race for further research will take a long time... Until the Expedition Army returns with their gains, do not move against Yun Cuixi for now. And if he is slain, one cannot guarantee the remaining eight won’t become more vigilant... Stirring the grass to scare the snake is unwise."
The corners of her eyes caught the figure on the virtual screen, wearing a neat military uniform and captivating the crowd, causing her to scoff, "Although appearance is natural, sometimes being a bit prettier indeed brings many benefits. His popularity is partly due to this face... However, isn’t it too much of a failure when others like a soldier merely because of his face?"
Although Su Jiameng also likes pretty people and things, she isn’t very passionate about pursuing looks, otherwise, she wouldn’t have left so many scars unhealed back then. For this Yun Major General who has dominated the gossip charts for several days, Su Jiameng instructed Changxi to continue monitoring him, then proceed to continue her own tasks!
To eliminate this guy, she still has much to work on; restoring her strength is the primary task at present!
However, even as Su Jiameng actively tried to ignore Yun Major General, she discovered that this guy seemed to have become a widespread sensation overnight, frequently mentioned both online and in daily life! Even in the review section of her on-and-off novel—"Tragic Life of Su Shaojiang," some readers asked if she modeled the character after him...
Su Jiameng looked at that comment with a twisted expression, disgusted as if she had swallowed a large plate of fried cockroaches!
Although Su Jiameng doesn’t have much moral integrity, she has always been up to par with her conduct as an Alliance Major General!
To say something narcissistic, she absolutely is a Major General of the Alliance with normal values and strong beliefs! Although later forced to defect from the Alliance, she hadn’t done anything to wrong the Alliance over the years! Does she seem like the kind of crazy monster secretly modifying herself with all sorts of forbidden experiments, even reaching into the Insect Race? Does she seem like the kind of villain who likes to harm others?
"Damn it, what kind of brain do those who say my novel is based on Yun Cuixi have! It’s not brain pulp but straw, isn’t it?" Su Jiameng angrily slapped the table, her small face showing obvious anger.
Lucy lightly pursed her lips and with a slight smile asked, "Actually, Xiao Meng can’t blame others for thinking so. Who made the characters’ journeys in your novel so arduous, a growth protagonist carving their path through hardships and thorns. Whether it’s losing their parents early in childhood or their mental journey and growth thereafter... all are remarkably similar to Yun Major General..."
Su Jiameng froze for a bit, then muttered, "I think my novel should just end..."
Using Yun Cuixi as a prototype is something she absolutely cannot tolerate! It would make her feel extremely disgusted!
"It seems Xiao Meng doesn’t like Yun Major General very much?" Lucy asked, smiling at her.
The two were having afternoon tea on a virtual network, in a shop full of ancient style, with white paper-pasted doors, and voices easily passing through to the outside. At that moment, a brown-haired man and a few older people were walking past... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
