Chapter 3793 - Still so Bold
"Now hand me the ship's core!" Yanri Shuang said.
"She has quite an eye for detail, this one," Xing Can said.
"We do have to be extra careful when faced with a crook of the stinkbug’s caliber. Once the Feng Capital Ghoul arrives, we'll have an advantage in numbers when it comes to ships. We should be more or less fine from then on," Luori Xuanlie said.
"That's right. As for the Scorchmoon, we have to make sure it's within our defenses," Yanri Shuang said.
Jiang Lincheng was already handing over the ship's core, so the Scorchmoon would temporarily not have a controller.

More than eight million people huddled together tightly in the Scorchmoon. To people who were usually spoiled with a good life, it was rather discomforting. The moment Yanri Shuang had given her order, most of the citizens of the Middlekin Star Ruin, even those who hadn’t watched the trial of the Cosmic God Palace, had been forcefully rounded up.
"What in the world is Yanri Shuang doing?! Is there a need to fear the stinkbugs this much?"
"This degree of absurd caution has to be going overboard!"
"Do we have to stay here as long as they're unable to catch them? It's way too tight in here! We can't even let our lifebound beasts out!"
The eight million-plus people were rather annoyed. They had quite a low tolerance for tight spaces. And while they weren't exactly crammed against each other, the fact that they had to hide and avoid the attacks of the slaves was humiliating to them. Those who were among the hundred thousand overflowers that survived were also inside the ship, as was apparent by the varying heights in the crowd.
"Fortunately, Wargod Haven sent another nine million slaves here. Otherwise there'd be nobody to send into the astral hole!" They needed manpower to transport the middlekin stars out of the astral hole so that they could survive and cultivate.
