Those who had spread the rumors were imprisoned. They were a part of Li Wenrao’s organization, and in the past, they had evaded arrest, claiming to be ‘heroes who bravely fought for salvation’ while claiming not to be guilty of any wrongdoings. However, as a result of the demon’s efforts, their secure and hidden bases were easily uncovered.
In the midst of these events, another wave of keyboard warriors who had attacked with even greater resolution were captured on the spot.
Lu Xiaoqi’s actions were simply too fast, and the person who’d been arrested didn’t have a second to react, nor hide the evidence of his crime. Though there were some who managed to react in time, or some who escaped by chance, with the help of the demons they were quickly caught.
The evidence provided didn’t even require a thorough analysis – they clearly laid out the perpetrators’ crimes, easily causing them to be sent to prison for “endangering the development of the interstellar empire, causing mass panic, having sinister intent…” as well as many others.
Li Wenrao’s power over the public opinion had been alleviated.
After receiving such a shock, he’d remained in a state of fear the whole night. At daybreak, just when he’d thought that it had all been but a delusion, and raised his head, he nearly fainted in shock. Just as he had been about to attack, all of his control over the public opinion had evaporated.
Li Wenrao felt disoriented. His already bloodshot eyes overflowing with resentment were even more pronounced due to his lack of sleep.
It was Lu Xiaoqi!
Not only was Li Wenrao furious, but he was also panicked.
His influence had been expanded with the utmost secrecy, and was unknown to all, even his foster father.
In the past, he had been able to use this power to successfully become Lu Xiaoqi’s adjutant.
At the time, he had been certain that Lu Xiaoqi was unaware of this, which meant that all along, Lu Xiaoqi had been setting a trap for him.
Li Wenrao stared at the tall man, the light in his eyes flickering.
He discreetly clenched his hand into a fist. Lu Xiaoqi was so much more terrifying than he had originally thought. The other had obviously been aware of his power.
This had been a warning, or rather, the other simply making a mockery of him.
Li Wenrao’s original plan had been to use his influence over the internet to hinder Lu Xiaoqi’s actions, and to secretly take other sinister actions. Even if his power over the public were to disappear in the end, as long as he had finished, he would not be afraid of any threats. But he had not expected for Lu Xiaoqi to be so efficient. As it turned out, the other had such an ability!
Yes, it must’ve been an AI that created the ‘demon’!
As he thought of this, Li Wenrao’s expression changed slightly, and gradually became somber.

Lu Xiaoqi’s award ceremony came to a perfect end.
The old marshal patten him on the shoulder. “The younger generation really is powerful. From now on, Celta’s defense lies in your hands. Don’t disappoint me.”
“Yes.” Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes were filled with a deep light.
Lu Xiaoqi stepped into the specially designated “general level vehicle”, and began his trip back to the floating island.
This whole time, Mo Gungun had been waiting in the car for him to sit back down, and now he cheerfully leaned in closely. “The big monster just now seemed so powerful.”
The originally stony visage instantly filled with joy, and Lu Xiaoqi gently rubbed his head.

Lu Xiaoqi replied, “Is it now.”
He glanced out the window where the old marshal was talking with General Zhao.
Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes curved in content.
Upon returning home, Mo Gungun turned back into a panda and entered the playground, fooling around with a group of demons and ghosts.
All of a sudden, the butler’s expression changed, revealing a look of fury.
The butler said, “Admiral, they really are too much, deceiving everyone like that! The regiment has yet to approve reconstruction, they really are trying to smear our reputations!”
As he spoke, he glanced towards the general level vehicle, and his expression changed yet again.
In the interstellar, each rank had unique indicators.
The butler clenched his fist. “This is ostracization. Why should you be given a general level vehicle despite your position as the marshal?”
Standing beside the window, Lu Xiaoqi could see the little panda cub playing with the rocking horse.
Lu Xiaoqi observed them for quite some time before his mouth revealed a smile.
The butler was a little surprised. “Admiral?”
Lu Xiaoqi finally spoke. “This rank is still pretty good. Don’t fret, I am not the Lu Xiaoqi I once was. This world will no longer be their game.”
Lu Xiaoqi turned around; his eyes filled to the brim with determination. “This time, I have Gungun.”
The butler was silent for a long time.
Lu Xiaoqi smiled. “No worried, everything is under my control.”
The butler stared at the admiral for a moment, before nodding in content. “Then, admiral, I’ll head to the kitchen to take a look, I think Chef Jiang made some shortbread. Admiral, would you like to send it to the little lady?”
The corners of Lu Xiaoqi’s eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

It was early morning, and the sun shone brightly.
Mo Gungun discreetly travelled to school on a chauffeured car, yet he still attracted numerous gazes.
He finally arrived at the classroom, only to face many probing gazes.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Pinfeng rushed over, and excitedly said while lowering his voice, “Gungun, have you heard the news?”
Mo Gungun raised his head, confused.
Liu Pinfeng said in a secretive manner, “Yesterday, a lot of people claimed to have been haunted”
He had opened his yin-yang eyes after nearly dying, and his perception was still a little blurry.
But even that had managed to pique his interest in these topics.
He was a little frightened, but still very curious.
Mo Gungun blinked a few times. “Haunted?”
Liu Pinfeng was shocked. “You didn’t know? Yesterday, a lot of people emerged on the internet, claiming to have been haunted.”
Mo Gungun shook his head. “I’m not very clear on those matters.”
Last night, after looking at some of the comments on his stream, he had gone to sleep. He had heard that streamer number 63 had left the competition. Apparently, the star could not continue to participate due to his busy schedule.
Liu Pinfeng was stunned, then whispered, “I’ll open the forum and let you take a look. It seems like something really did happen.”
Though he had accepted these entities existence, he was a little worried for Mo Gungun. After all, Mo Gungun was a different species and it may not be impossible for these demons to injure him. His heart immediately began to formulate all sorts of conjectures.
He had to warn this innocent classmate of his.
Liu Pinfeng turned on his virtual computer.
Mo Gungun was puzzled. He scratched his head then looked at the messages again, but he didn’t see anything noteworthy.
Liu Pinfeng carefully observed Mo Gungun’s expression, but it was clear to see that Mo Gungun had not formed a connection between the hauntings mentioned in the forum and his group of demons. His biggest revelation was that there really were a lot of red clothed demons, ah.
Xiao Wen and the other demons were a little worried at first, but seeing naïve his boss was, he felt a little embarrassed keeping such a secret from the other.
Liu Pinfeng asked, “Do you really not have any opinions on this matter?”
He had asked this question in a very careful manner, for fear of angering those terrifying demons.
A single vengeful ghost could easily leave him without a body to bury. Those who fooled around with such demons and ghosts must be even more scary, right?
Mo Gungun scratched his face. “It seems that the world really does have a lot of people who can see demons and ghosts.”
Originally, he had thought that he was the only one who could see these entities, but after seeing Liu Pinfeng, he had begun to think that more people had the same ability. Before, Eldest Grandfather and Second Grandfather had praised him to the skies, making him incredibly content. Thinking back now, his joy before must have been due to his lack of worldly awareness.
The corner of Liu Pinfeng’s mouth twitched fiercely. “No, I can guarantee it. There aren’t many people who have the ability to see them.”
The only reason he could was because he had almost been beaten to death by a demon and was saved by this classmate.
Logically, assuming they hadn’t met, he probably would have been dead by the time Mo Gungun transferred here. At the time, he had been certain of his inevitable death.
Mo Gungun’s eyes sparkled.
Liu Pinfeng let out a breath. “Yesterday, did your demon friends go out to play?”
Mo Gungun raised his head, suspicious, and glanced at Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen directed a breath of yin energy towards Liu Pinfeng, causing him to involuntarily flinch.
Liu Pinfeng’s voice took on a trembling quality as he asked, “Classmate Mo, next to me is there, is there……”
Mo Gungun glanced at Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen rubbed his nose a bit, no longer daring to spook Liu Pinfeng.
Had Liu Pinfeng not held good intentions, caring for their boss, he would have immediately let the other had a nice “conversation” with the other demons.
Xiao Wen paused for a moment, and decided to tell the truth, revealing everything that happened. “Yesterday, we really did go out.”
Mo Gungun’s eyes were wide. “Ah.”
Xiao Wen quietly sighed. “It was the admiral’s orders, we simply acted as his hands.”
He had been a little worried at first, but after Mo Gungun heard that it had been the big monster’s order, he relaxed his guard.
Mo Gungun replied, “Then, you guys weren’t injured, right?”
Xiao Wen’s eyes sparkled, and his grin was full of joy. “Not at all. In the interstellar, there are barely any entities that can harm us.”
To the demons, the scariest, yet cutest thing were the words that came from the panda cub’s mouth.
Mo Gungun nodded.
Liu Pinfeng saw his classmate raise his head, and seemed to be speaking to someone. He could roughly guess what the other was talking about.
Inside, he felt a little cautious, but in the past few days, he had seen how genuinely the other treated him, and thus his worries were eased.
After all, the demons seemed to be safe.
Liu Pinfeng waited patiently.
As Mo Gungun and the demons communicated with each other, he puffed out his chest in pride upon learning that these events had been the big monster punishing some bad guys.
His big monster really was too amazing!
All of a sudden, Mo Gungun startled. “You guys can communicate with the big monster?”
Before, it had been very hard for the two sides to communicate.
Speaking of this, Xiao Wen and the other demons were also a little bit confused. It seemed that without them noticing, the man had become increasingly terrifying, with his aura becoming strong and stronger, to the extent that they didn’t even dare to disobey. Moreover, the man’s ability to perceive them was gradually improving.
Xiao Wen let out a small imperceptible sigh, feeling aggrieved. Boss Gun’s man really was very scary.
In the end, Xiao Wen simply said, “Maybe the admiral is getting more powerful.”
Mo Gungun nodded, happily accepting the reason.
Realizing that Liu Pinfeng was still looking at him, Mo Gungun tilted his head: what’s the matter?
Liu Pinfeng: “…………” He was still waiting for an answer, but it seemed like the other had already completely forgotten about him.
First! 😊
Thanks for the great translation ♥️
Thanks for the chapter! Trying to understand Gungun logic is a waste of time, he lives in his own world with his big monster, ghost companions, a silly mecha & a few doting servants.
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^)♡
GunGun is still as cute as ever!!!
Thanks for the chapter<3
This panda is such a sweet little thing! And he has his super powerful Big Monster husband next to him. I’m looking forward to find out how Admiral is going to clean up this Li Wenrao guy. Thank you for the chapter!!!
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
