StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 149 [149] Stirring Up a Storm

"I am Luo Hanyi, and I am accompanied by my younger sister Luo Bao'er. We pay our respects to the Holy Mother and the Emperor."

Luo Hanyi forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart. Although he had prepared himself mentally, his heart was still in turmoil when he saw the living Holy Mother.

Luo Hanyi slowly turned his gaze to the Holy Mother, and for a moment time seemed to stand still.

In just a few seconds of gazing, his eyes flashed with admiration, as bright and dazzling as the stars twinkling in the night sky.

Immediately following was a look of amazement, as if he had seen the most magnificent and dazzling treasure in the world, causing him to involuntarily hold his breath.

However, all these emotions were eventually swallowed up by an endless sense of inferiority, to the point that he dared not even look at the Holy Mother again, for fear that his gaze would tarnish the Holy Mother before him, who was like a fairy descended from heaven.

To him, even just glancing at her once more would be a great desecration of the Holy Mother.

Luo Bao'er, on the other hand, seemed to be frozen in place, as if she had been put under a spell.

Her once bright and lively eyes were now dull and lifeless as she stared blankly at Mu Xingyue. The grievances and inferiority in her heart spread like a tide, gradually engulfing her entire heart.

Although Luo Bao'er usually had a stronger sense of self-esteem than anyone else, at this moment, when she truly stood face to face with the Holy Mother, she deeply felt the oppressive feeling that came from the depths of her soul.

Every smile, gesture, and movement of the Holy Mother exuded an innate nobility and powerful aura, making Luo Bao'er feel involuntarily ashamed of herself.

Such a radiant and flamboyant goddess would undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention, an existence that everyone could only look up to from afar.

No wonder even the usually reserved and noble Emperor, and that majestic Commander, would fall for her and become deeply infatuated with her!
Woohoo~~~
The Holy Mother is so outstanding that she gives the impression that she has transcended ordinary people, yet she remains hidden among them!

"Please don't stand on ceremony, have a seat. Time is of the essence, so please speak freely without any reservations."

Xia Lanling said expressionlessly, though he was secretly displeased. He noticed that Luo Hanyi's eyes were filled with amazement as he looked at Guaibao, which made him very unhappy.

What annoyed him even more was that when Luo Bao'er saw Guai Bao, she put on a pitiful and aggrieved look, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

This is absolutely speechless!

Could it be that the brother and sister both harbored improper thoughts about their beloved child?

Thinking of this, Xia Lanling couldn't help but spit inwardly: Humph! That's just wishful thinking!
Don't think you can get your hands on his precious child just because of this. Not a chance!

"Ah Ling, speak properly! Don't frighten our distinguished guest."

"Mu Xingyue said sweetly, her beautiful eyes glancing at Xia Lanling with a hint of reproach," she said.

Her gentle and melodious voice was like a spring breeze, warming one's heart.

At this moment, Luo Hanyi, who was called the head of the Luo family, and Luo Bao'er beside him appeared somewhat uneasy.

The two of them bowed slightly, with somewhat restrained smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, Holy Mother. Please forgive me, my younger sister is ignorant and has offended you in many ways."

Luo Hanyi quickly spoke up, while tugging at Luo Bao'er beside him, signaling her to apologize to Mu Xingyue as well. Seeing this, Mu Xingyue quickly waved her hand and smiled, "It's alright, it's alright, please take a seat. You two must have important matters to discuss with A-Ling, so please feel free to speak."

As she spoke, she personally led Luo Hanyi and Luo Bao'er to their seats and gestured for the butler to serve them fragrant tea.

After everyone had settled down, Mu Xingyue turned her gaze to Luo Hanyi again and asked softly, "I just heard A-Ling mention that Patriarch Luo led his men to find an extremely rare jade mine. Is this true?"

As she spoke, her bright, almond-shaped eyes sparkled with curiosity, as if she were very interested in the jade mine.

Luo Hanyi quickly glanced at Xia Lanling. He was somewhat surprised. Based on his observation, he knew that the Holy Consort was the one who made the decision. He hadn't expected that the Emperor loved the Holy Consort to this extent.

But when he thought about the major events that had recently occurred throughout the galaxy, he felt that all of this was perfectly reasonable.

"Holy Lady, Emperor, please believe me! This is absolutely true! Look, this is the information we currently have."

Luo Hanyi spoke with a solemn and urgent expression. He took a deep breath and continued to report to the incomparably majestic Holy Mother in front of him, as well as the several imposing beastmen beside her.

"According to the latest data obtained by the professional exploration team dispatched by the Luo family, the jade deposits discovered this time are astonishing!"

"Its scale is unprecedented in the entire interstellar space."

"Based on precise calculations, the estimated reserves of this jade mine are as high as 109 million tons!"

"Such a large quantity is enough to meet the needs of our Starry Sky Empire for a considerable period of time in the future."

Having said that, Luo Hanyi dared not delay for a moment and quickly and respectfully handed the detailed information in his hand to the Holy Female and her many beast husbands.

It should be noted that these individuals are the true rulers of the Starry Sky Empire, wielding immense power and controlling the lifelines of every sector of this powerful empire.

In particular, Xia Lanling and Pei Yi, the former being the emperor who rules over the entire empire.

The latter served as commander, leading countless brave and fearless soldiers.

As for the other beastmen, they are all kings of their respective races, possessing formidable strength and revered status, and are absolutely not to be underestimated.

After Xia Lanling and Mu Xingyue finished flipping through the thick stack of documents in their hands at an astonishing speed, both of them showed expressions of astonishment.

After a brief silence, they exchanged a meaningful glance as if they were telepathically connected.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Lanling fixed her sharp, hawk-like gaze firmly on Luo Hanyi. Her gaze seemed to penetrate one's soul, sending chills down one's spine.

His voice was cold and deep, carrying an unquestionable authority as he said, "Luo Hanyi, explain yourself clearly! What exactly do you want from me by so readily handing over such a huge jade mine?"

As soon as those words were spoken, an invisible pressure spread out, and the atmosphere in the entire room instantly became heavy.

Stared at like that by Xia Lanling, Luo Hanyi felt like a lamb to the slaughter, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He frantically wiped away his sweat while giving Xia Lanling, who was sitting opposite him, a bitter smile that looked more like a grimace.
