Escape your planet

Lu Meili raised a brow,  looking at Long Cheng amusedly. She then mouthed back, 'Wait on what? Try it if you can,' Lu Meili replied silently before laughing so hard that she caught someone's attention. 

"Commander! This woman is crazy! She thinks that running is a funny thing! I say we leave her here and let the beasts feast at her!" Lou Mary yelled, appalled. 

Since Han Lu was not around, Lou Mary had been looking for a chance to get back at the woman, and this was the best chance she had found so far. 

Lu Meili looked at Lou Mary unhappily. She had been counting offenses since earlier. So far, the person who had done the most considerable number of crimes or offenses to her was Lou Mary. 

It would be too easy to dispose of the female shifter. With the beast running havoc inside the Thunder Forest, Lu Meili had more options to make anyone vanish without a trace. 

However, Lu Meili knew that it was easier said than done, and the consequences would be severe if proven that she was involved in the staged accident unless her master was willing to cover for her. 

'Nah, the master will not get herself involved. She will probably watch me  suffer as entertainment…' Lu Meili sadly thought. Since she had not told her plan to her master regarding visiting Shou planet to get a donor, there was a meager chance for her to be helped unless death was involved. 

Her master would never approve of her plans to bear a child and continue being mateless. What more if her master learned that she found her mate and still refused to be with him? That was also the reason why Lu Meili did not tell anyone about her and Long Cheng's connection when she was talking to Mo Rin earlier. 

Long Jun had promised to give her a fair trial regarding the male shifter, Rusan's death. Too bad for him, Lu Meili did not plan on staying on the Shou Planet to be scrutinized and judged for a crime that she did not commit. 

She could not tell them more about her background as it would bring a great scandal to her planet. 

So she had been trying to avoid any physical confrontation with the dragon shifters unless it was necessary and for survival purposes only. 

The shifter who could kill her comrade would be judged and punished by her kind. And if Lou Mary continued to test Lu Meili's patience, she could not be blamed for making the female shifter cripple. 

Instead of answering Lou Mary, "Oh? It seems you are enjoying yourself." Long Jun said to Lu Meili as he jumped to the higher hill. 

"Put me down. I can run by myself," Lu Meili said through clenched teeth. She was tied up with the enchanted rope, which Long Jun could easily remove so it won't be a burden. 

Long Jun chuckled hoarsely, indicating his dragon was also on the surface. "Stay put. We can't have you have any ideas of escaping." 

Lu Meili snorted before asking sarcastically, "Really? Do you think you could do anything if I wanted to escape?" 

"Escape and go where?" He asked with fake interest. 

Lu Meili replied with confidence, "Escape your planet, unscathed, anytime." 

As she said that, even Long Jun's men laughed. Of course, the loudest laughter was from the siblings, Lou Mary and Lou Hana. 

"That was hilarious! Entertaining despite us running from the Beast Tide!" The male shifter nearest them said. 

"Do you think this is a Beast Tide?" Lu Meili asked in confusion. For her, this was not yet considered a Beast Tide that no one could control. This was only considered a bunch of beasts that were bothered or summoned to a specific place. 

'Summoned…' Lu Meili repeated the word inside her head before her face hardened. 

"What else could it be?" The male shifter asked clearly mocking, "Commander, what do you think? This female does not seem to know what she is talking about. She thinks she could leave anytime she wants! Are you going to let her?" He continued challengingly.  

Long Jun laughed at his statement but did not answer. 

Despite the silver scales on Long Jun's face, his eyes could not hide a glint of amusement. 

In his heart, he could never accept the possibility that a female could leave the planet. Yes, she was capable enough to fight his soldiers.  But that did not mean she could do anything she wanted. 

Long Jun was thinking all this, but he would never believe that in the future, he would be included on a space expedition to find Lu Meili that will change his life forever…
