Chapter 261 - 109: Divine Speed, Phoenix Power, Angel Feather
Chen Yu grunted in acknowledgment and went back to his deep sleep.
After several days of high-intensity battles, it was a rare chance for him to relax.
He had to catch up on some serious sleep.
He slept until high noon before waking up. He stretched comfortably, then got out of bed to wash up.
Sophie had already prepared lunch. As a life-support robot, Chen Yu was very satisfied with her domestic skills.
After eating, Chen Yu had just settled onto the sofa to browse the news when a knock suddenly sounded.
KNOCK KNOCK!!
The knocking came from outside. Chen Yu instinctively looked up, his Force Field sense probing silently.
There were two people at the villa’s entrance.
A man and a woman.
One of them was Liu Mei.
The other, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, was a stranger to Chen Yu.
Through his Force Field sense, however, Chen Yu detected powerful Superpower source fluctuations from the man. His aura was strong. He was a Ninth-level Martial Artist.
Just as his Force Field was probing, the man in the suit seemed to notice something and frowned.
At that moment, a call came in from Liu Mei. Chen Yu answered, and her voice came through.
"Chen Yu, you should be home, right? Open the door. A high-ranking official is here to ask you some questions."
’A high-ranking official...’
’Is he an Alliance member too?’
Chen Yu furrowed his brow, gave a quick reply, and hung up. He got up, walked to the front door, and opened it.
At the door, the man in the suit and Liu Mei came into view.
Chen Yu’s gaze fell on the man.
His aura was potent, his eyes were like a hawk’s, and his Spiritual Power was immense.
He was an absolute expert!
Seeing Chen Yu dressed in his pajamas, Liu Mei was taken aback for a moment before speaking. "Chen Yu, this is a Level 8 member of the Alliance, Lord Xu Teng."
’A Level 8 member!’
Hearing Liu Mei’s introduction, Chen Yu was inwardly shaken.
In the Extraordinary Alliance, a Level 9 member was a True God. A Level 8 member was at the absolute top, just below a True God.
To become a Level 8 member, one had to be among the best of the Ninth-level Martial Artists.
The man with the sunglasses and long hair from before had also been a Ninth-level Martial Artist, but he was only a Level 6 member.
"So you’re Chen Yu. I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s good to finally meet you in person."
The man in the suit extended his hand with a friendly smile, looking quite amiable.
Chen Yu shook his hand and looked at the Level 8 member. "Lord Xu, please come in!"
The man nodded lightly and stepped into the villa, with Liu Mei following him inside.
Chen Yu closed the door behind them and walked into the living room. Looking at Lord Xu, he asked, "May I ask what brings you here, Lord Xu?"
The man in the suit looked at him and said, "Nothing major. I’m just here to ask about what happened yesterday. You’re quite impressive, you know. You even managed to take down a member of the Angel Race."
Hearing this, Chen Yu looked at the man in the suit.
His thoughts raced for a moment before he replied, "It was a fluke. All members of the Alien Races deserve to die."
The man’s expression froze. He looked at Chen Yu and said, "It’s true that the Alien Races should be killed, but not *all* of them should be."
’Hm?’
’What does he mean by that?’
’Could there be a problem?’
’Is he here to reprimand me?!’
Chen Yu looked at the man, sensing something ominous in his words.
"Lord Xu, I don’t understand what you mean by that," Chen Yu said.
The man looked at him and said, "You’re aware that our Human Race has allies in the Celestial River Star System, aren’t you?"
Chen Yu nodded. "Of course I know that. But what does that have to do with the bird-person I killed?"
Lord Xu was speechless.
’This kid is playing dumb!’
Lord Xu looked at Chen Yu, a muscle twitching in his cheek, and got straight to the point. "The member of the Angel Race you killed is from one of our allies."
"Oh? Is that so? I had no idea," Chen Yu said, his face a mask of surprise.
"...Don’t worry. I’m not here to reprimand you. This is a good thing."
Lord Xu said, looking at Chen Yu.
"A good thing?"
Chen Yu was stunned.
’Killing an ally is a good thing?’
’He’s not here to call me to account?’
’What game is he playing?’
Chen Yu was thoroughly confused.
Lord Xu nodded. "Yes, a good thing. The Angel you killed was a notorious wanted criminal from their race. He’s been on the run for over a hundred years. As it happens, there were other members of the Angel Race on Ancestor Star who recognized him."
"..."
’How could it be such a coincidence?!’
Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
He truly had not expected this.
He had thought the man was here to reprimand him, but he never imagined such a turn of events.
’This is outrageous!’
"So, the Angel Race asked me to come and thank you. They’ve already taken the body back."
Lord Xu said, looking at Chen Yu.
As he spoke, Lord Xu took out an exquisite box and handed it to Chen Yu.
"Things were rushed, so there wasn’t time to prepare much. This is a token of gratitude from the Angel Race that they asked me to give you."
’A gift from the Angel Race?!’
Chen Yu looked at the exquisite box, reached out to take it, and opened it. Inside was a pearl.
A Divine Spirit Pearl!
It was a high-quality Divine Spirit Pearl, just like the "payment" the True God had given him before.
However, besides the Divine Spirit Pearl, there was also a golden feather.
It looked as if it were crafted from pure gold, but upon closer inspection, it only resembled pure gold. It was actually another kind of special, gold-like material.
A faint radiance flowed across the golden feather. It was clearly no ordinary item.
"What... what is this thing?" Chen Yu asked, picking up the feather and looking at Lord Xu.
Lord Xu was speechless.
"Don’t underestimate this feather. It’s a special feather of the Angel Race, an Angel’s Feather. It’s equivalent to a clan gift. With this, if you encounter danger in space in the future, you can use the feather to call for help from the Angel Race within a one-thousand-light-year radius and receive their assistance once."
"Moreover, with this feather from the Angel Race, if you ever have the chance to visit their territory, you will be treated as an honored guest."
Lord Xu explained slowly.
Chen Yu was stunned.
He stared blankly at the golden feather!
’It’s that amazing?!’
’The value of this feather is probably far greater than that of the high-quality Divine Spirit Pearl!’
’Just for killing a wanted criminal from the Angel Race, they’re giving such a generous gift?!’
For a moment, Chen Yu felt like it was all unreal.
