Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3398 – Untitled

“So… terrifying!”

Theresa felt that her head was dizzy. She did not have the courage to fight Black Jack at all. She hurried to say, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

“This way.”

On the wall far away from Black Jack’s cabin, the liquid alloy slid to two sides like a waterfall, revealing a new pathway. Silver brightness was blinking at the end of the pathway. Jade gestured for him to come in.

Right when Theresa was about to drag Princess Summer into the pathway, she suddenly thought of something. “Wait. How long will it take for the escape capsule to be launched? Can you resist Black Jack in the meantime?”

“No more than ten minutes.”

Jade said, “If we focus all our energy on defense, we should be able to resist Black Jack.”

“You mean we don’t need to meet Black Jack at all?”

Theresa was overjoyed. “That’s great. Then, please do me another favor—take back the damn ‘witch genes’ inside my body!”

“Huh?”

.

Jade and Princess Summer both exclaimed in surprise.

“You don’t understand. I cannot meet my compatriots in such a way!

Holding her breasts with her hands, Theresa said in distress, “I’m a well-known figure in the Pangu Universe after all. If I go back with those two things and the Fist King, Boss Bai, Long Yangjun, and the girls in the fleet who are close to me see them, they will laugh themselves to death. I—I will be too ashamed to face anybody for the rest of my life!

“Right, there’s also Liuli, my childhood sweetheart. If she sees that my two lumps are actually older than her, she will laugh at me for the rest of my life. How am I going to live the rest of my life?”

“The most important thing is still that wretched Golden Lion—the young emperor, Li Jialing. This guy is my old enemy. I swore that I would stomp on him one day. But if I stomp on him with my white and tender feet in such a way, I will always feel weird.

“After all, we don’t need to fight Black Jack face to face. There’s no need to activate the Witch Gene at all. In that case, just turn me back as soon as possible. My stomach is aching again, as if something is about to fall out. Damn it. I can’t stand this kind of life for even one more second!”

Princess Summer was dazed for a moment. She asked in surprise, “Teresa, what are you talking about? Change back? Were you not like this before?”

“Indeed, it’s not. My real face is different from my current appearance. Well, there’s a certain difference. The transformation later might be more shocking. Sister Summer, you must be prepared. Don’t panic or shout. No matter how I change my appearance, my soul will always be the same. I will always be your good sister!”

Theresa gave Princess Summer a heads-up.

“I can take back the Witch Gene inside your body.

Jade thought for a moment and asked, “But are you sure you want to do this? Witch genes mean infinite strength. They mean the legacy of the captain of Jade for hundreds of generations. They mean you will be a great captain. Do you not desire strength?”

“Of course, I desire strength, but it depends on the price I pay!

Holding her stomach, Theresa’s eyebrow was twitching because of the pain. She said firmly, “There are certain things in human beings that cannot be sold no matter how invaluable they are. As for getting the legacy and becoming the captain of a starship, I believe that there will be opportunities even without the Witch Gene. On the other hand, if I have to sell such precious one or two ultimate treasures in order to become a ‘great captain’, I won’t be ‘great’ at all!

“All in all, I’ve made up my mind. You should take back the Witch Gene as soon as possible and find someone else. Or, when we return to the Pangu Universe, we can ask the specialists and scholars there to study the Witch Gene. To tell you the truth, there are a lot of experts in biochemistry and genetics in our world, too. They are quite impressive.

“They might be able to analyze the mysteries of the Witch Gene and remove all the restrictions. They might be able to digest and absorb all the knowledge contained in the Witch Gene without turning into Captain Kelly. By then, if you give me the Witch Gene, I will definitely train myself without any hesitation!”

Jade was silent. She quickly calculated the gains and losses of retrieving the Witch Gene.

“Don’t overthink it. I have to return to the Pangu Universe with my real face before the people there believe me!”

Theresa shouted, “If I go back like this, who will know who I am? Chances are that we will be considered alien invaders!”

His words convinced Jade.

She glanced at Black Jack outside the cabin wall.

Black Jack didn’t do anything else after smashing the wall of the cabin into a shocking hole.

He was sitting cross-legged in midair, surrounded by vague gold brightness, as if he were meditating.

It seemed that it was not an easy task to absorb all the vitality of Queen Medusa. He was training hard to stabilize his new level.

“Then, as you wish.”

Jade said indifferently. She opened her arms and hugged Theresa.

She was a silver liquid metal made of nanomachines. When it reached Theresa, it immediately enveloped her and turned her into a standing metal cocoon.

Silver ripples were blossoming on the surface of the cocoon, as if intense mutations were taking place inside.

Princess Summer had never seen such a weird scene before. Her natural instinct was to lunge forward and rescue Theresa.

“Don’t be scared. You heard it just now. It was her own request, or rather… him.” Jade’s calm and indifferent voice came from the cocoon.

In the language of the Jadeite Continent, ‘he’ and ‘she’ were words with slightly different tones.

Princess Summer blinked in confusion. She had been confused since the moment she entered the crimson palace. Right now, all the mysteries had gathered into surging tides, making her not know what to do. She felt that she had fallen into the manipulation and torment of fate.

Princess Summer stared at the silver cocoon, her broken saber shivering in her hand. She sniffed hard and told herself to stop running away no matter how weird and cruel things were.

Theresa had once said that girls should grasp their destiny and face everything bravely. Whatever happened, Theresa would fight side by side with her.

“Teresa…”

Princess Summer mumbled, “What—what happened to you? Come out now!”

Perhaps he had heard her affectionate call.

The silver cocoon shivered slightly, as if a delicate metal flower was blossoming from the top.
