My Love Rival and I Are 100% Compatible - Chapter 143

An Insect race slammed into the mecha’s detection screen. Xi Shuang screamed and asked Ling Xun on the other end of the communication, “How are you doing?”

After the mechas were activated, they relied on energy to connect, similar to radio principles, but with some static.

For example, the sounds of impacts and thunderstorms would all rumble into their ears.

They were all inexperienced kids. Even though Xi Shuang was a year older than Ling Xun and had trained countless times at the academy, passing all the basic courses, she still worried about accidents.

Ling Xun’s academy life had just begun, and Xi Shuang even regretted having her on her team.

On the other hand, she was glad they were on the same team.

Xi Shuang’s mother and Ling Xun’s mother were sisters.

Ling Xun’s mother was a weak Omega, but because her family was wealthy, she didn’t have to worry about marriage.

But AO pairings would need to have children, which was in line with the rules. Perhaps because her mother’s body was weak, Ling Xun was born incredibly small and stayed in an incubator for a long time because she was premature.

Even in the technologically advanced interstellar era, where the safety index of Omega childbirth was many times better than before, there was still a one-in-ten-thousand chance of death.

Her aunt almost died.

Xi Shuang’s Omega mother told her all this.

From what she remembered, she knew that Ling Xun was her most precious cousin.

Like her mother and aunt, sisters had the strongest bond.

Family affection could absolutely override love, and all the worries were kneaded into the most tender words.

But Ling Xun was too worrying.

Even though she was only a year younger than Xi Shuang, she looked several years older when they stood together.

Her cousin spoke softly, but her personality was stubborn. She always wanted to get what she wanted, wanting to climb trees and go into the water.

She wouldn’t let the servants help her, she had to climb up and down herself.

It was as if a heart of steel was embedded in her most fragile body, bullets couldn’t pierce her innate stubbornness.

Even though she grew more delicate, like pear blossoms reflecting in spring water, completely different from Xi Shuang’s wild and unruly style.

When they stood together, they were always different.

Xi Shuang naturally thought that Ling Xun was an Omega.

But the sickly cousin differentiated into an Alpha.

The illness she had since birth miraculously improved because of the differentiation. Her mental strength was the same as Xi Shuang’s, but her body wasn’t strong, and she would get sick easily.

Xi Shuang was a year above Ling Xun, but they were inseparable from childhood.

Either Ling Xun would stay at Xi Shuang’s house for a few days, or Xi Shuang would stay in Ling Xun’s.

It was normal for Alpha girls to fight, and Ling Xun was better than Xi Shuang at kendo. Every time she won, she would look down and call Xi Shuang “Older Cousin.”

Xi Shuang would laugh, “I think you should be the older cousin.”

In fact, everyone in their class knew that Xi Shuang and Ling Xun were close.

More than close, it was like she was afraid that Ling Xun would disappear if she didn’t see her for a second.

Even Wen Xinghuo had asked, “Aren’t you two cousins?”

Xi Shuang shrugged, waving at a pretty Omega passing by, her eyes curving into crescents, “We’re really close.”

The next second, she began to worry, “I don’t know if my sister will date when she comes to the academy. Her wooden head is like yours, she doesn’t seem interested in that.”

Wen Xinghuo: “You sound like her mother.”

Then she was punched by Xi Shuang, she pretended to groan.

Xi Shuang: “You clearly want to say I’m a busybody.”

Wen Xinghuo smiled, “You seem to treasure her.”

Xi Shuang: “Of course, I swore to protect Ling Xun for the rest of my life when I was a kid.”

She held her face, pretending to be worried, “But Ling Xun always gave the feeling that she was going to die any second, making me unable to take my eyes off her when I was in the same space.”

Wen Xinghuo: “You look at Ling Xun even when you’re with your girlfriend?”

The Alpha, known as the strongest in history, wasn’t fierce in private. She teasingly smiled, “That’s not good, right?”

Xi Shuang: “My girlfriend will understand me.”

Wen Xinghuo shook her head, “You’re only a year older than her, you don’t need to be like this.”

She and Xi Shuang didn’t graduate from the same middle school, but after entering Guyun Academy, they inevitably had old classmates who would joke with Xi Shuang during training breaks.

“Xi Shuang, are you lonely? Your cousin isn’t by your side~”

“Our Xi, the richest, Shuang, is always dumped. I think if you put a tenth of the effort you put on your cousin into your girlfriend, you’d have three kids in three years.”

“That’s right, doesn’t your cousin think you’re annoying?”

“Look, she’s definitely texting her cousin, really, it’s like a report every day.”

…

Wen Xinghuo mostly just listened, she wiped the sweat from her face and glanced at Xi Shuang, who happened to not have her privacy settings on, and Wen Xinghuo saw it.

The pinned contact was “Cousin.”

Simple and intimate.

It’s just that Xi Shuang sent too many messages, the text she entered couldn’t fit on one screen.

Just then, the other person replied.

Very cruelly in Wen Xinghuo’s eyes.

“Okay, read.”

Wen Xinghuo turned her head, Xi Shuang was still smiling foolishly, with the happiness of a mother with a child.

Other classmates were laughing, seeing Wen Xinghuo’s blank face, they explained to her—

“For Xi Shuang, her cousin is first, wife is second, and mecha is third.”

Xi Shuang turned her head and roared, “You guys who treat mechas as wives are definitely not as humane as me!”

They in burst laughter.

Wen Xinghuo’s curiosity about Ling Xun didn’t last long, after all, Xi Shuang loved to talk.

She would talk about training, buying new mecha equipment, and even buying the quotes of famous officers.

“I’ll send it to my cousin.”

“I’ll get one for Ling Xun.”

“Everyone else has it, my Ling Xun must have it too.”

It made Wen Xinghuo feel a little pitiful, why was she always alone.

“My cousin is coming next semester! Great, we can go to school together again.”

At the end of the first semester of the second year, Xi Shuang said goodbye to Wen Xinghuo in the summer, and also looked forward to the future.

Wen Xinghuo: “You don’t only see each other at school, you meet on weekends, and you live together, what’s there to miss.”

Wen Xinghuo was punched by Xi Shuang again, she pretended to groan.

Xi Shuang: “You wooden head don’t understand some feelings, even if she’s sitting next to me, I’ll miss her.”

After saying that, Xi Shuang was disgusted by herself, shaking off goosebumps, “Ahh that was a bit greasy.”

Wen Xinghuo agreed, “If there’s a real Insect Tide, you’ll definitely do fight together. But, it’s better to let your sister be more independent, right?”

Xi Shuang: “I know, we’ll talk about it then. If Ling Xun has an Omega she likes,  I’ll also go all out for her.”

Wen Xinghuo: “You look perverted right now.”

Xi Shuang: “You’re such a buzzkill.”

…

Now, low-level Insects was constantly pouring in from all directions, and sweat was seeping from Wen Xinghuo’s face.

The mechas was bound to its operator, its defenses acting like a mental barrier.

She shouted at Xi Shuang, whose voice was trembling, “Xi Shuang, calm down!”

Xi Shuang: “Ling Xun? What’s wrong? Say something!”

They didn’t know how much time had passed, but they still hadn’t found Xi Zhoumeng and Chi Yueshan.

They were terrified that their friends, who had just chatted and laughed together, would disappear in the sudden insect tide.

That would be too cruel.

The climate on Planet B-878 was abnormal, there could be two days and one night, or several nights and one day.

So the growing season of the plants here was different from ordinary plants, and they could cultivate valuable seeds.

Wen Xinghuo’s mech-like armor swept through a swarm of low-level Insects. She wasn’t exhausted, but the constant flow of them was a bit nauseating.

In the darkness, the sound was amplified, mixed with the rain, as if it was going to completely cut off people’s consciousness.

Sheng Yangkui was still huddled in her arms. Wen Xinghuo’s sweat dripped on her face, mixed with Sheng Yangkui’s unconscious tears.

Sheng Yangkui stared ahead, her lips opening and closing, trying to recall the Insect Queen’s language.

These things had their own language system, and if humans had enough time, they might be able to decipher it.

But it was difficult to imitate the sound.

Xi Shuang was frantically looking for Ling Xun. The mecha’s outer shell was mixed with viscous, stinky blood. The creatures rushing towards her had transitioned from low-level to higher-level, clearly with some experience, and wouldn’t blindly pile up in numbers.

Xi Shuang was still calling Ling Xun.

Again and again, her voice, naturally clear, was hoarse from countless hours of fighting.

Her throat tasted of blood.

Whether it was because she was too tired or because Ling Xun didn’t respond, it stirred up her childhood memories.

The scene of Ling Xun falling into the pond and almost dying and the scene of Ling Xun falling from the balcony overlapped in her mind.

The Ling Xun who committed suicide was her hallucination.

Yet, she felt the pain of the hallucination so deeply that it instantly pierced her sanity.

“Mech owner, please maintain composure!”

“Abnormal mental fluctuations detected, please pay attention!”

“Abnormal spike detected, please pay attention!”

“Abnormal spike detected, please pay attention!!”

…

Wen Xinghuo heard the mecha AI’s voice and called Xi Shuang again.

“Ling Xun’s communication hasn’t been cut off, don’t run around.”

The rain washed the mecha’s outer shell, many trees fell, and ahead was the base where they were supposed to train.

The abandoned simulated Insect race.

Now they were occupied by real Insect race, made it hard to tell in the rainy night whether they were machines or living creatures.

She only felt the faint green light, like ghost fire, making her hair stand on end.

And the leading Insect race was clearly different in appearance, its limbs were like blades, and its ugly head seemed to be replicated several times, overlapping, standing under the high moon, as if it had locked onto Wen Xinghuo.

Sheng Yangkui looked up, she almost instantly saw through the other’s intentions.

It wanted Wen Xinghuo to die.

Whether it was this mid-level Insect race, or the Insect King in the royal palace of the Capital Star.

In her past life, Sheng Yangkui was parasitized first. The insect occupied her body but didn’t understand human emotions, but it instinctively amplified negative emotions, perhaps vaguely sensing Wen Xinghuo’s threat.

But that training didn’t kill Wen Xinghuo, instead sacrificing Chi Yueshan.

In this life, Sheng Yangkui was still chosen, and Wen Xinghuo was still an obstacle.

A stumbling block for its next body, and the hope of this generation of humans.

The “War God” mecha was almost branded in the Insect King’s memory.

Even though insects had no emotions, even though their lives were short, all the memories of the insects from birth to death would be gathered into the Insect King’s consciousness.

The War God mecha had to be destroyed, this was his instinctive decision.

The consciousness of the invading generations had been deeply impressed by the first generation for thousands of years. Their plan was close to success, they were about to slaughter humans and enter a new world, but humans inexplicably developed mechas, and the human commander who controlled that silver-white mecha on the battlefield, even though she never showed her face, was enough to make the Insect race fear her.

Humans always passed on the torch, but the Insect race couldn’t exist forever.

The War God mecha shone with golden light in the moonlight and rain, as if it had its own power.

But the current Wen Xinghuo wasn’t the hero who had been trained and tempered countless times in the future.

For a person to become a hero.

The first step was to lose loved ones.

The second step was to lose friends and teachers.

The third step…

Heroes were always lonely.

The current Wen Xinghuo wasn’t lonely. She thought of her dead mother.

The gold thread of her hairband has dimmed, and she is just an ordinary omega guarding the edge of the world.

Because of her tall stature, her different appearance, and her ideals that were different from Omegas who wanted to get married, she was always ridiculed.

Distant, lofty ideals.

Why should I be ridiculed?

I hope for world peace.

The brief moments of her childhood in Wen Xinghuo’s memory were always imprinted on her.

She thought: If I kill them all, won’t there be peace?

…

A sudden ascent, Wen Xinghuo operated the mecha to jump up, the Insects swarming up.

Sheng Yangkui subconsciously closed her eyes, her eyes were sore, the long-awaited being together made her speechless.

Because the current Wen Xinghuo wasn’t strong enough.

With a bang, the mecha’s propulsion device sparked.

The protective layer added by Chi Yueshan still worked, but the attack just missed.

The mecha crashed into the mountain rock, the cabin shook, and the Insect swarmed up like a tide.

Wen Xinghuo picked up Sheng Yangkui, covering her eyes, saying, “Don’t be afraid.”

She still has flesh and blood, and a three-foot sword that came with the mecha.

The communication was intermittent. Xi Shuang didn’t know what happened, and she lost her voice.

The crackling sound was like someone’s life hanging by a thread. Just as Wen Xinghuo was about to open the cabin door, she heard a familiar voice—

“Is anyone there?”

The next second, a flamboyant mecha came out of nowhere. The silver-white roses were colder than the moonlight, and Xi Zhoumeng’s mecha’s double-swirling blades on the side ruthlessly slashed at the mid-level Insects.

Almost instantly, there was a rumble, the mountain collapsed, and explosions rang out.

Xi Zhoumeng’s voice was light, with a hint of satisfaction from being fed—

“Oh dear, so many ugly things.”

Operating the mecha was one thing, but the joyful female voice in this area, which couldn’t be dispersed by the rain, clearly expressed Xi Zhoumeng’s mood.

She sounded like she was having a blast.

What exactly are you enjoying?

Wen Xinghuo didn’t know what to say for a long time. Instead, Sheng Yangkui, who was also surprised, carefully asked Xi Zhoumeng on the other end of the communication, “Senior Xi, where… where did you come from?”

Everyone knew about Xi Zhoumeng’s mecha. If Wen Xinghuo’s mecha “War God” was an immortal legend of the empire, then her mecha was like a cold moon in the dark night. It was gorgeous in a low-key way, but looking at it a second time, it was incomparably gorgeous, not losing to “War God.”

This was originally a mecha used by the Xi family ancestors. It wasn’t surprising that Xi Zhoumeng could bind to it.

But what was surprising was that Xi Zhoumeng was an Omega, meaning she couldn’t operate it even after binding.

But the rules of the mecha storage room had been set in stone for years: whoever could bind it could take it.

What could they do?

Anyway, it was the Xi family’s ancestral mecha. It was okay for Xi Zhoumeng to take it. They could just treat it as another ornament for the young miss. She would get tired of it and return it, right?

Xi Zhoumeng took it away arrogantly, and even bound it to her holocom.

Even the teachers felt that she was too ceremonial. You took it away, you bound to it, but you can’t operate it.

Whatever, that’s just how the young miss is.

Now, almost all the Insect race in this area had been blasted into pieces by Xi Zhoumeng’s mecha. Even though these creatures were torn apart, their limbs could still shake. In the smoke and rain, Xi Zhoumeng, operating her mecha, made Sheng Yangkui almost burst into tears.

After all, she had despaired just now, thinking that this was also a way to die together.

Just then, a head of an Insect race general rolled over, seemingly gluing itself together and reassembling.

The silver-cast roses on Xi Zhoumeng’s mecha’s outer shell suddenly decomposed. Under the control of the holder’s powerful spiritual power, they easily pierced the brain, and the source stone energy ignited petal-shaped flames, coldly decomposing the ugly creature’s head.

The powder dissipated in the rain. Xi Zhoumeng’s voice was mixed in the heavy rain, with a slight hoarseness, but it couldn’t hide her light tone—

“I came from the cave, not in this area.”

Another rumble, and a metal joint like a tail, four or five meters long, grew out of the rear of Xi Zhoumeng’s mecha. The thing was covered with dense barbs, and the tail had a hook, throwing a mecha out from somewhere.

The mecha was damaged, but it didn’t look too serious, it just looked like it had been devoured by something, the surface was covered with disgusting mucus.

Wen Xinghuo recognized that it was Ling Xun’s mecha, anxiously asking, “How is she?”

Xi Zhoumeng looked at the Insects in the distance, seemingly about to charge, yet hesitant, she sneered, “Almost got swallowed.”

She even had time to show off: “It’s a good thing our Little Yueshan added several layers of anti-dissolving coating to this ordinary mecha, otherwise Ling Xun would have been digested.”

The Insect race’s sizes were different. The recorded ones, from low-level to high-level, were basically grotesque; calling them ugly was an understatement.

But Xi Zhumeng was truly disgusted by the sight of these creatures swarming together, and the joy of completely marking Chi Yueshan couldn’t be contained, she immediately threw up.

Wen Xinghuo: …

Sheng Yangkui: …

She doesn’t look possessed. It seems Senior Xi has truly resisted the consciousness invasion.

I mean, how could the Insect King be so disgusted with her own people?

As expected of Senior Xi.

“Where’s Yueshan?”

Wen Xinghuo returned to the control panel. Now that the situation had improved, she activated the mecha’s automatic repair device, asking the question.

Then she continued to call Xi Shuang.
