AMRWFA -Chapter 393 Threatening Mr. Monster

Ruan Yaoyao took Xu Nannan and the others back to their seats.

Xu Nannan looked a bit regretful.

Wenren Hanmo said, “You’ve probably already learned everything you needed through your connections. That thing does exist. It’s what allows us to descend upon Blue Star. However, our race chose ‘projection.’ There’s no other way—our true forms are too large, and our appearances differ too greatly from yours. If we chose the same ‘descent’ methods as others, problems would arise no matter which type we used…”

For physical descent, their original bodies were simply too massive.

For spiritual descent, ordinary bodies couldn’t withstand the mental power of beings from the Horus System.

So their only option was projection.

Projection meant letting most of their consciousness remain dormant within their original bodies, while only a portion was “projected” onto Blue Star.

Since it was the latter, they naturally needed a vessel—a physical body.

As long as you possessed a “space-time travel ticket” and stamped it onto that “body,” you could use the ticket to reach another world and successfully project yourself onto that body.

Ruan Yaoyao said, “Even if the projection succeeds, you can’t completely match the original person. So how do you avoid being recognized?”

“Confusion,” Wenren Hanmo replied. “Our Horus race has an innate ability—to disrupt people’s memories…”

Of course, this ability varied in strength and could be either passive or active.

He and Lin Yucheng had been selected precisely because their “confusion” ability was both active and controllable, which gave them a higher success rate when projecting.

And that was also one of the reasons they were given the “space-time travel ticket.”

But Wenren Hanmo swore that the Horus race had no ill intentions toward Blue Star. They had come here simply to find wives.

“Sigh…” Wenren Hanmo let out a long breath. “Due to certain special circumstances, reproduction in the Horus System is difficult. That’s why we had no choice but to consider intermarriage with other races.”

He had traveled all this way just to get married.

Ruan Yaoyao: “Heh!”

【Who are you trying to fool?!】

【Who would travel that far just to get married without gaining something?】

【Even if wives are scarce in the Horus System, it’s others who can’t find one—not him, right?】

Ruan Yaoyao didn’t believe for a second that someone like Wenren Hanmo would be sent as a diplomatic envoy simply because he was weak. He wasn’t here as cannon fodder to trigger a war between two worlds.

Although Wenren Hanmo didn’t say it outright, she could tell—they weren’t aligned with the “invaders,” but they weren’t strangers to them either. After all, the “space-time travel tickets” they held had been given by those very people.

“Not just to us.”

“As for the rest, I don’t know. That’s all I’m aware of.”

…

Before, she had thought that since they weren’t on the same side, perhaps the Horus System could be won over. Now she realized she had been overthinking.

Those who are not of our kind will never truly share our hearts.

The old ancestors’ words still held wisdom.

“I’ve told you everything. Does that mean you agree to let me marry your daughter now?” Wenren Hanmo looked at Ruan Yaoyao expectantly.

Ruan Yaoyao said, “I won’t forcibly break you apart. But whether you can win her over depends on your own ability.”

Wenren Hanmo: “……”

Wasn’t that the same as saying nothing?

Ruan Yaoyao ignored him. Of course it was different. If she truly disapproved, even if Xu Nannan ended up with him, she could still ruthlessly separate them.

Agreeing not to interfere—for now—was already a big concession.

Using Xu Nannan’s name, she had arranged the meeting. Now that everything had been discussed, Ruan Yaoyao told Xu Nannan to finish her coffee and then took her away.

Wenren Hanmo reached out dramatically: I haven’t even had a proper conversation with her yet!

Afterward, when Lin Yucheng heard about it, he mocked him mercilessly.

Wenren Hanmo rolled his eyes. “And you think you can laugh at me? Is your girlfriend talking to you again?”

Lin Yucheng’s face instantly turned green.

Talking to him? Not a chance!

Ever since she got that Bodhi seed protective charm, she had completely ignored him. As long as he couldn’t get close to her, whether threats or force, she would just call the police.

Lin Yucheng: “%#￥%@%#%%#￥@!&*……”

“I told you long ago—be gentle, be gentle. Look at you now. You scared her off. Not only did you gain nothing, now let’s see how you’re going to fix this.”

Lin Yucheng gritted his teeth. “Fix it? Worst case, I’ll just take her back to our territory by force.”

“Are you sure? Do you think the authorities of Xia Country are just for show? A simple string of Bodhi beads is enough to keep you from getting near Gui Xiyu, and you still want to abduct her? Are you dreaming? Be careful—they might just throw you in prison.”

“They wouldn’t dare.”

“What wouldn’t they dare? Try breaking the law and see.”

Lin Yucheng didn’t dare. All he could do was talk tough. A mere string of Bodhi beads was enough to keep him away from Gui Xiyu. It made him seriously question whether the Xia Country they saw was truly as it appeared.

Just how much power was hidden beneath the surface?

If Wenren Hanmo hadn’t run into the Xu family, he might have ended up as their “test subject.”

“Achoo—!”

Ruan Yaoyao sneezed, feeling as if someone was cursing her.

Noticing her daughter Xu Nannan sneaking glances at her, she said, “If you’ve got something to say, say it. Why keep staring at me?”

“Mom, you’ve been pushing me to interact with that monster… was it just to keep contact and extract information from them?”

Ruan Yaoyao raised an eyebrow. “So you finally figured it out?”

Xu Nannan chuckled awkwardly and hurried over to massage her shoulders. “Sorry, Mom. I misunderstood you before. I thought you really liked that monster and wanted me to be with him. I was scared to death. I even stayed mad at you for days and didn’t want to talk to you.”

“You think I wanted that? He’s your destined match. Even if I tried to stop it, you two would still have your encounter. What could I do? Better to let you date from the start—if it works, it works; if it doesn’t, then forget it… A destined match doesn’t necessarily mean you must end up together. It just means if you miss him, you might never meet another like him.”

“If you end up single for life, don’t blame me.”

“Mom, how could I blame you? I’d love to stay single forever. Staying home as your daughter is great—I can keep you company when you’re old. If I get married, I’ll become ‘spilled water,’ belonging to another family, completely at their mercy. That sounds miserable. You wouldn’t want that for me, right?”

Ruan Yaoyao was speechless. “Are you talking about ancient times? What era is this? At the mercy of your in-laws? Do you think your brother and nephew are just decorations?”

【In modern society, who would dare?】

【Even if it happens, it’s either in remote areas or done secretly by shady people.】

【Human nature is like this—no one can guarantee everyone is good. That’s just reality.】

Xu Nannan smiled ingratiatingly and quickly said they weren’t decorations—she just didn’t want to get married.

Then she asked if she needed to continue “cooperating” in the future.

Cooperation was fine—as long as she wasn’t actually married off. Even if it meant “inter-world relations,” she didn’t want to become some “political bride” sacrificed for the so-called greater good.

She didn’t have the capability of Princess Wencheng, nor the courage of Wang Zhaojun.

She was her mother’s delicate little princess—pampered and soft—completely unsuited for such hardship.
