My Omega Rival in Love [Interstellar] - Chapter 51

This time was different from their previous petty arguments. He Yu did not say a word, pulled her hand out of Gu Jin’s, turned around with a cold face, and left, completely ignoring Gu Jin’s presence.

Although she claimed to be indifferent, uninterested, and not “fancying” Gu Jin, her reaction to being jealous was quite genuine. Gu Jin was happy inside, but she dared not truly provoke her any further. She quickly walked up to her, humble and conciliatory, trying to coax her.

“Are you angry? Are you jealous?”

“No!” He Yu stopped abruptly. Her cold, clear eyes were filled with visible anger and shame. She glared at Gu Jin, her voice even higher than usual.

“Ahem,” although He Yu looked very cute when she was like this, Gu Jin dared not push her luck further. She quickly explained, “Actually, that was just a joke made by my mother and one of her friends when I was still in my mother’s womb. Later, before I was even born, that friend passed away, and she didn’t leave any children behind. So, when I said that just now, I was only trying to scare you. Look, you still care about me, don’t you?”

“I don’t care about you at all!” He Yu blurted out in a fit of pique. Only after she finished speaking did she realize what she had said, and she glared at Gu Jin again. “If there is a next time, Gu Jin, you will automatically disappear from my sight. I don’t want to see you ever again.”

“I was wrong. I was truly wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. Wasn’t I just reporting to you before marriage so that there wouldn’t be any hidden dangers left? The difference between me confessing voluntarily and you finding out later is huge. Leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist, right?”

Knowing she was in the wrong, Gu Jin admitted her mistake honestly. If she had known, she wouldn’t have teased her. While the result was gratifying, the aftermath was quite difficult to clean up.

“Who wants to marry you? Move aside!” Feeling her ears getting hot from Gu Jin’s words, He Yu widened her eyes to hide her embarrassment and walked forward.

“I said the wrong thing.” Realizing He Yu was throwing a tantrum, Gu Jin did not dare to block her forcefully. She was following behind, about to say something, when she felt a tremor in her heart and her face turned pale. Gu Jin had a premonition of disaster.

After walking two steps, He Yu heard nothing from Gu Jin and felt something was wrong. Just as she was hesitating whether to turn back, she was startled by a person who suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Oh? Are the couple fighting?”

He Yu instantly became vigilant and took a step back, looking at the person in front of her. “Who are you?”

The person before her was a woman, half a head taller than He Yu and about the same height as Gu Jin. She wore a loose, smoky-red gauze outer garment that could not hide her perfectly voluptuous figure. She used her bright red fingernails to brush aside her long, curly black hair, revealing an extremely glamorous face.

It must be said that even He Yu, who had just been stunned by Gu Jin’s beauty, was momentarily taken aback by this face. Unlike Gu Jin, who was born with a noble and lofty air, the person before her had alluring eyes; the red mole at the corner of her eye seemed to hook the soul. Her full lips carried an inherent sensuality, and her skin, flushed pink from within, possessed an overt, seductive quality.

Having seen many beauties, both cold and cute, this was the first time He Yu had seen someone so fiery and sexy. Even the previously attractive Gu Ling had a cold, icy-glamorous temperament, which had nothing in common with the woman before her.

After a moment of astonishment, He Yu remained vigilant. She was also confused: where had Gu Jin gone?

Hearing He Yu’s question, the woman covered her lips and chuckled. In the face of He Yu’s wary gaze, she approached with a swaying gait, unbothered by He Yu’s avoidance and retreat. She parted her red lips, and even her voice carried a bewitching quality. “As for me, you may call me Nine Colors. I originally came to find my unfaithful wife, but I didn’t expect to see you here. Hmm, you are actually more to my taste.”

Just as He Yu was weighing the strength gap between them, she felt her shoulder sink. Gu Jin’s hand was resting on it. A joy welled up in her heart, but when she turned to look, the relief in her eyes froze instantly.

Gu Jin, who had been fine just moments ago, was pale as a sheet. She frowned tightly, looking guardedly at the person opposite her. She was biting her lower lip so hard that she had even drawn blood on her skin, which possessed a durability above S-rank. The bright red blood looked particularly stark against her deathly pale complexion.

Quickly supporting Gu Jin, He Yu had no idea what had happened and could only glare at Nine Colors, who had just introduced herself. “What exactly did you do to her?!”

To He Yu’s surprise, Nine Colors also looked confused. “I haven’t done anything yet. But seeing you supporting her, I’m afraid she is suffering from a grave injury that hasn’t healed, right? Tsk tsk, she didn’t look like much just now, but now that I look closer, this sick beauty look is actually quite nice. Since she doesn’t have much time left, why not give her to me? That way, she can enjoy life a little during her short time on Earth.”

Perhaps because the woman’s words were so shocking, He Yu failed to react for a moment. It wasn’t until the woman suddenly leaned in and her hand was about to touch Gu Jin’s face that He Yu reacted, swatting the woman’s hand away!

“You… you…” Perhaps because she had never encountered such a person, He Yu didn’t know what to say. She could only support Gu Jin and try to keep as much distance as possible.

Not caring at all, the woman retracted her hand. “Oh, you don’t want to? Well, that’s not impossible. You come with me, and I’ll let her go. How about that?”

Having never met someone who acted so much like a hooligan, He Yu was speechless, not knowing how to curse her.

Gu Jin had not expected her damned old injury to recur at such a critical moment. She had planned to take He Yu back and come to sweep the tomb another day, but this unexpected guest had disrupted her plans. The intense pain left Gu Jin unable to think normally or process external information; she could only struggle to stay conscious. Perhaps her body was gradually becoming able to tolerate the agony, as she heard the conversation outside, specifically the outrageous suggestion from Nine Colors to take He Yu away.

Struggling to stand straight, Gu Jin shielded He Yu behind her, frowning as she confronted Nine Colors. “You’re dreaming.”

Nine Colors looked at the person opposite her—who was clearly in a mess, her lips covered in blood, yet her words remained unyielding. Her eyes darkened for a split second, but then she chuckled and winked at Gu Jin flirtatiously. “Don’t you want to come with me? That’s fine. Don’t worry, for a sick beauty like you, I will cherish you very well…”

Before she finished speaking, she was met with an atomic laser blast. Gu Jin was leaning on He Yu, lacking even the strength to lift her head. Her entire body felt like it had been crushed and reassembled, so firing a laser blast from her micro-mecha was no small feat.

But it was clear that Nine Colors was not someone easily dealt with, or at least not a weakling who could be defeated by a single laser blast. Effortlessly dodging the attack, Nine Colors’ dark red eyes turned obscure. “I like sick beauties, but I don’t like those with thorns. If you’re going to be like this, I won’t be happy.”

“In normal times, you would already be space junk.” Struggling to lift herself up, even in her current state, Gu Jin’s innate arrogance remained undiminished. Her eyes were filled with slight mockery and disdain. “But now… you’re close to it.”

As Gu Jin’s words fell, a rushing sound echoed through the air. Six medium-sized mechas arrived swiftly, surrounding them.

When Gu Jin first realized her body was acting strangely, she had summoned the Rota Star garrison. The subsequent pain had come too fast, leaving her only the strength to stay conscious. She had only summoned a bit of energy to delay them. As expected, the guard team arrived quickly.

Looking at the mechas surrounding them, Gu Jin looked at Nine Colors in the center. “Take her down. Dead or alive.”

If she died, she died. Gu Jin felt no pity for this person; if her body had allowed it, she would have preferred to handle it herself.

“Oh, the sick beauty is angry. Tsk tsk, you scared me.” She clutched her full chest in a theatrical gesture, but her casual movements and words showed she felt no tension at all. She even had the mood to glance at He Yu again. “Actually, the little cutie beauty is better. I’ve decided: I won’t look for my unfaithful wife anymore. You’re quite good.”

She didn’t forget to wink at He Yu, but unfortunately, He Yu was shielded completely behind Gu Jin and didn’t see it. Gu Jin, however, saw it and was so furious that her blood surged, almost causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Hearing someone dare to flirt with her sister-in-law, the guard team stopped being polite and began to attack, determined to teach this arrogant, mysterious person a lesson.

With six people working together, they had just started their assault when they saw the red gauze on the woman move—she actually had a small mecha. But a small mecha was useless; they were six medium-sized mechas.

An eye-dazzling battle began. Gu Jin, unable to hold on, was supported by He Yu as she sat on the meteorite and leaned weakly against He Yu. She didn’t dare close her eyes, fearing that once she did, she would lose consciousness. Moreover, the woman in red was truly strange, and she remained worried.

He Yu held Gu Jin helplessly; this sudden change left her panicked. “What is going on with you? Didn’t you say your old injury had healed when it recurred last time?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine after a rest.” Shifting her gaze from the battlefield to He Yu’s face, Gu Jin saw the concern and worry that He Yu no longer tried to hide. Gu Jin pulled a smile, though it looked somewhat unsightly.

Looking at Gu Jin suspiciously, He Yu felt things could not be that simple. Furthermore, Gu Jin’s current state was very similar to what the woman in red had described: a grave, unhealed injury with not much time left.

Hugging Gu Jin, He Yu wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth. “Didn’t you just say that one must be transparent and not hide anything when reporting before marriage? What does this mean? What is really going on with you?”

“Hmm…” Just as she was about to smile, the pain radiating from her bones forced Gu Jin to groan, immediately diverting He Yu’s attention.

“Where exactly are you injured? I…” Her hands hovered in the air; He Yu didn’t even dare to touch Gu Jin, fearing she would accidentally press on a wound.

“It’s fine.” After struggling through the wave of pain, Gu Jin let out a breath and looked at He Yu with a smile. “When you mentioned reporting before marriage just now, does that mean you’ve agreed to marry me?”

“You’re still thinking about that now? Shouldn’t we hurry back to Rota Star and find a doctor?” Carefully holding Gu Jin, He Yu prepared to leave with her.

Pressing down on He Yu’s hand, Gu Jin didn’t think He Yu couldn’t carry her—with an A-rank constitution, carrying an adult was easy—but the problem was, “You don’t know how to pilot a spacecraft, especially a military one.”

This sentence successfully stopped He Yu. She really didn’t know how.

“Wait for them. The result will be out soon.” Shifting her gaze back to the battlefield, which was now moving toward the edge of the star tomb, Gu Jin watched as Nine Colors was put on the defensive. Even if the opponent had an S-rank constitution and was a female Alpha, she was still using a small mecha. Compared to high-tech medium-sized mechas, she had no room to resist. It was already impressive that she had lasted this long.

Seeing Gu Jin’s confident gaze, He Yu felt slightly at ease. Now was not the right time for questions; they would wait until they got back.

Thinking this, He Yu adjusted Gu Jin to make her lean more comfortably against her shoulder.

Gu Jin leaned against He Yu with satisfaction. Although their situation was dire, the benefits were rare—at the very least, if she had leaned this close to He Yu in the past, she would likely have been slapped away and told to stay somewhere else.

Just as she was thinking this, the battle intuition Gu Jin had honed over years of warfare sounded a fierce alarm!

Her eyes shifted rapidly to the battlefield. She saw Nine Colors, who had just been suppressed and powerless, smile strangely at the corners of her mouth. Suddenly, all six guard members were knocked away. Gu Jin saw Nine Colors rush over at an incredible speed, nearly breaking the speed of light. She was right in front of them in the blink of an eye, before He Yu could even react!

This person was not an S-rank Alpha; she was like her—an Alpha with a constitution above S-rank! Her strength was not inferior to her own!

Reaching this conclusion, Gu Jin’s body reacted faster than her brain. She instinctively mobilized her remaining energy with explosive power to block Nine Colors.

Because Gu Jin took the brunt of the attack, He Yu remained largely unharmed, only being pushed away along with the meteorite—after all, this wasn’t solid ground, and the meteorites were not fixed.

Unfortunately, Gu Jin was truly at the end of her rope. While Nine Colors only took two steps back, Gu Jin was sent flying backward. He Yu had just stood up on the meteorite when she saw Nine Colors’ silhouette flash, catching Gu Jin in mid-air faster than she could.

At the same time, the space above the star tomb fluctuated slightly, and the massive pirate ship reappeared. Nine Colors flew straight toward it. In He Yu’s shocked vision, she heard Nine Colors’ bewitching and arrogant voice, “I’ll borrow your Young Commander Gu for a few days. Goodbye, no need to see me off!”

The six people who had been briefly stunned just came to their senses and only saw their Young Commander and the familiar “Death” ship disappear together. The extremely insulting words still echoed in their ears!

Regardless, with their current capabilities, they could do nothing. All they could do now was return and report to the team captains.

When the six turned back, they saw a person standing in the star tomb—He Yu, her face gloomy, her dark eyes looking as if they feared not even the light, her ink-black hair dancing in the air, creating a natural sense of pressure. The group looked at each other: the sister-in-law looked a bit… not right.

But no matter what they thought, He Yu did not care. She only wanted to know what was going on: the old injury, Nine Colors, and that damned ship—what was happening, and where did they come from!

When He Yu and the six returned to Rota Star, the three guard team captains already knew the sequence of events. Once they disembarked, they quickly entered the conference room. Given He Yu’s current status, Gu Jing agreed to her request to sit in.

“According to the situation, the Young Commander was abducted by the Madilon Pirate Group. And that Nine Colors is very likely their boss, Mr. J. But now, Miss Yu, can you tell me why the Young Commander didn’t even put up a fight?”

Gu Yin stood in the center of the conference room, his usually gentle and suave face now serious. He looked at He Yu; they had always been on Rota Star and could not possibly know about the situation on the capital planet.
