Chapter 1045: Side Story 10
Runge subconsciously pursed his lips when the ball approached his lips. Guoguo asked in confusion, “Uncle Runge, why aren’t you eating?”

Tangtang who was looking at them with his head tilted up said, “This can’t be eaten. Who would consume an energy stone directly?”

“Why not?” Guoguo tilted her head down and insisted. “There is tons of powerful energy within it and wouldn’t it be absorbed better if he eats it?”

“This is not food.” Tangtang looked at her with a deadpan face. “This is similar to a stone and Uncle Runge can’t eat it either based on its size.”

Guoguo lowered her eyes and said with a sad expression, “I thought that Uncle Runge could eat it…”

Runge could not bear to see Guoguo upset and so, he said, “I can try using my mental energy to absorb it.”

Guoguo excitedly nodded her head in response.

Runge put her down, grabbed the ball, and started adjusting his mental energy after sitting down.

Unexpectedly, the moment his mental energy flowed out, he immediately received the energy from within the ball.

However, that energy was too overbearing and it was not something his mental energy could control.

Soon, he felt a strong pain coursing through his nerves. Cold sweat trickled down from his forehead and his expression twisted in pain.

Tangtang and Guoguo were frightened at the sight of Runge’s appearance.

“Uncle Runge.”

Guoguo wanted to hug him.

However, the moment she approached him, she was shocked by the mental energy Runge radiated and fell on the ground with a stagger.

“It hurts.”

Tangtang hastily went over to help her up and asked in concern, “Sister, are you alright?”

“Brother, my butt hurts.”

While speaking, she rubbed her butt and tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill over the rim of her eyes. She asked Tangtang fearfully, “Brother, Uncle Runge looks like he’s in extreme pain. What should we do? Let’s help him.”

Tangtang thought for a moment and said, “Sister, Mom said that our mental energy is capable of calming down the mental energy of others. Let’s give it a try.”

Both of them quickly made their way toward Runge and released their mental energy at the same time.

Three different mental energies converged and with the effect of the energy stone, it released a powerful energy.

All the pirates on board started panicking.

“What’s going on? Where did this energy come from?”

“Someone must be trying to deal with us. Quick, report this to the leader!”

By the time the woman returned to the spaceship along with a group of men, the powerful energy fluctuation had disappeared by a huge amount. The woman did a quick scan and headed in a certain direction.

Her men hastily tagged along behind.

Never in his wildest dreams did Runge expect that he could absorb the energy within the ball. At the same time, he got a pleasant surprise. His mental energy had greatly improved.

The ball in his hands had reduced to the size of a thumb. He had faith that as long as he absorbed all the energy within this ball, he would be capable of defeating that woman.

However, before he had the chance to celebrate, he sensed a group of people with powerful mental energies heading in their direction.

He held onto the ball tightly and at the same time, hugged the two children into his embrace tightly. He then looked at the door with wariness and killing intent.

At the same time, the door was kicked open.

Following that, he saw the woman coming in.

She stared at him with a murderous intent and asked in a deep voice, “What did you do earlier?”

Runge kept his mouth shut.

The woman got angry. She strode over in large strides and was about to do something to Guoguo

“Ah! Uncle Runge.”

Guoguo closed her eyes in fear.

When the woman’s sharp claws came towards them, Runge quickly turned around and used his back to block her attack.

The woman’s fingers tore his clothes and at the same time, the skin on his back tore and there were several deep scratch marks.

Runge did not even utter a single sound.

The woman was evidently angered by Runge’s protective behavior. “Good. I’d like to see how you can protect them.”

With that, she reached out her hand and shouted, “Weapon.”

Soon, one of her subordinates passed her a weapon that looked like a whip.

The woman waved the weapon around.

Whoosh…. piak!

After a few whips, wounds were scattered all over his back, but he still tightly held onto the two children without uttering a single sound.

The woman looked at him and a strong desire to conquer him surged forth. She threw the whip aside and said to her subordinates, “Everyone, get out.”

Her subordinates immediately left the room.

The woman began to take off her armor and clothes while speaking sinisterly, “Since you’re so disobedient, I’ll guess I can only force you to be obedient. Say, what kind of reaction would they have if I were to f*ck you directly in front of these two human cubs you care about?”

Runge quickly excluded a powerful murderous aura.

The woman approached him.

When the woman was about to approach him, Runge suddenly put down the two children and said to them in a commanding tone, “Close your eyes. You’re not to open them without my orders.”

The two children were frightened by the murderous aura he radiated and so, they subconsciously closed their eyes.

The woman’s body leaned against his and her fingers clung to the wounds on his back without mercy. Looking at the blood pouring out and his exposed bones, she started giggling. “Do you think they can’t see what we are going to do if you get them to close their eyes?”

With that, she quickly flicked her finger toward Tangtang and Guoguo

“Ah! It hurts!”

Tangtang and Guoguo subconsciously opened their eyes.

When they saw the woman clinging to Runge’s back and revealing a horrifying smile at them, their eyes widened in shock and they forgot to react.

Even though Tangtang did not cry out in pain, he opened his eyes. He was also stunned by the scene before him

Raging anger surged forth from within Runge. The bulging veins on his forehead twitched and he quickly shouted at them, “Tangtang, Guoguo, close your eyes!”

When Runge shouted, the woman tore his clothes and started laughing out loud.

Tangtang and Guoguo quickly closed their eyes again.

Runge was still clutching to the ball he had yet to finish absorbing. Without even a second thought, he swallowed it.

In the next second, powerful mental energy radiated from his body.

The strong energy pushed the woman away.

Traces of surprise flashed past her eyes. ‘Your mental energy broke through the SS grade!”

She then revealed a cruel smile and came at him again.

“So what if you have SS-grade mental energy, you still can’t defeat me.” Runge launched an attack at her.

The powerful mental energy destroyed everything inside the room.

Runge did not forget to get Tangtang and Guoguo to hide themselves during the fight.

However, they were too young and furthermore, they had depleted quite a bit of energy when they helped Runge absorb the ball.

In addition, the woman purposely aimed for them. Soon, the two children vomited blood and fainted due to the woman’s powerful energy attacks.

“AHH-”

Runge finally exploded.

He no longer controlled his powerful mental energy and quickly got into a fight with the woman.

They fought for some time and Runge was sent flying with a palm strike. Immediately after, his body crashed against the wall and he fell on the ground.

Pft-

After he spat out a mouthful of blood, he held his chest and stared at the woman approaching him. His eyes were as fierce as a wild beast’s.

The woman raised her boots and stepped on his chest as she commanded him. “If you don’t serve me to my satisfaction today, I’ll kill those two human cubs of yours.”

With that, she moved her legs away.

Runge’s eyes turned red, but he no longer resisted.

The woman looked at his appearance and started laughing out loud.

“You can’t beat me. You’re destined to be my boy toy.”

Runge sat up and without bothering to wipe the blood on the corner of his lips, he was about to stand up.

“Keep kneeling.”

The woman raised her foot and stepped on his shoulder. She didn’t even treat him like a human.

Runge remained silent and knelt before her.

While he was servicing her, the woman laughed continuously.

Sometime later, the woman retracted her foot and commanded him. “Carry me to the bed.” Runge followed her commands.

After carrying her to the bed and things progressed in the intimate direction, Runge’s mental energy suddenly soared. Immediately afterwards, he quickly took action by strangling her neck

“AH…”

The woman tried to struggle, only to realize that she could not struggle free of his hold.

She looked at Runge whose eyes were turning red. Traces of fear surfaced in her eyes. “You actually… caused your mental energy to riot?”

Runge stood up and lifted her up with his hand around her neck.

The room was quickly destroyed by the heaven-defying destructive power of Runge’s mental energy.

His mental energy directly jumped from SS grade to SSS grade.

This explosion destroyed the entire ship.

Everyone on the ship had no time to react and they were torn apart and shattered by the destructive power.

In an instant, the spaceship became a human purgatory.

This powerful destructive power quickly spread out and not a single life form near the spaceship was spared.

Three months later, Lu Jingye and Zi Yi, who had enhanced the traveling speed of the spaceship several times, finally received news of the location where their children were.

By the time they rushed over, they saw Tangtang and Guoguo being taken care of by a native family. They did not see Runge and the other people.

“Dad, Mom.”

At the sight of their parents, Tangtang and Guoguo quickly ran over and jumped into their embrace. At the same, they started wailing out loud.

Zi Yi looked at her two babies who had clearly lost weight and she started to tear up.

Lu Jingye tightly hugged Guoguo. The rims of his eyes were also wet. “Tangtang, Guoguo, where’s Uncle Runge?”

While sobbing, Guoguo said, “Uncle Runge… Uncle Runge fought with the bad guys and then…

he disappeared. Wuuuuu….”

The two children were unable to explain clearly. By the time they regained consciousness, they were already in the native’s house.

The native had no inkling of anything. They only know that someone gave them a sum of money to take care of the two children.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye only learned of what happened here three months ago after searching around the planet.

Zi Yi said in confusion, “A powerful mental energy riot happened on the pirate’s spaceship. According to reason, there should be no survivors. However, Tangtang and Guoguo survived, and the spaceship drove away.”

Lu Jingye was silent for a moment before he asked, “Could it be that when the mental energy riot happened on the spaceship, Runge protected them with his mental energy?”

“There’s this possibility. However, he would certainly die without a doubt. But in this case, who handed over Tangtang and Guoguo to the natives?”

Both of them made eye contact and saw that each other’s eyes revealed confusion.

Dozens of years later, humans from Earth were capable of freely traveling back and forth from this space and became an existence that the high leveled civilizations dared not belittle.

At the same time, the era of the pirates had also reached its peak.

Rumor has it, the leader of the pirates was a formidable man. As long as he wanted to snatch a spaceship, not a single one could escape his grasp.

There were also other rumors saying about how he could trigger a mental energy riot without dying.

Regardless of whichever rumor it was, it caused fear in everyone.

When Tangtang and Guoguo were capable enough of traveling alone in space, there was an instance where they had an encounter with the pirate’s spaceship. When their side was already prepared to attack, the pirate spaceship left.

After that encounter, Tangtang and Guoguo firmly believed that their Uncle Runge was onboard that ship and so, they began their search journey.

[The End].
