My name is Balala. Long ago, I had another name: Ji Nian. That was who I was before I joined the Supreme Space.
Back then, I lived on Silan Star as an ordinary soldier in the Federation. I had joined because of Wen Shilan, but I never once had the chance to fight beside him. Perhaps I was simply unlucky. By the time I entered the Federation, Wen Shilan had lost his mental power and become a commander.
At least the General had not left the Federation. I could still see him.
But if I had known what his remaining there would lead to, I would have stopped him at any cost.
The General once praised me. He said my mental power was exceptionally pure and that I would go far in the Federation. His praise made me happy, but I did not intend to stay for long. General Wen’s health was getting worse, and he would not be able to remain there much longer. The day he left the Federation would be the day I left too.
I even found time to learn massage and cooking. When the time came, I planned to ask whether he needed someone to look after him. I could do that and serve as his bodyguard too.
I kept imagining that happy future and waited for the General to leave the Federation. I never imagined that what awaited me was a cold body.
I could not understand it. I had only gone away on a minor mission. By the time I returned, my General was dead.
My General had died beneath the weight of the people’s condemnation on Silan Star. The cruelest irony was that those very people had driven him to his death, yet they still gave him a grand funeral and buried him with the honors of a general.
Tang Wan attended the funeral. He had once treated the General coldly and spoken to him with cruelty. Now he arrived with his spouse, looking so grief-stricken he seemed close to fainting. How laughable.
I did not cry. Crying would solve nothing. I hid behind the crowd and memorized the people who had hurt the General with cold words and looks of disgust. Apart from that big fool Wu Yi, I remembered every person at the funeral.
My General was dead. How could those people still be alive?
I would make every one of them follow him to the grave. I would make everyone on this planet die for Wen Shilan!
After the Insect Queen awakened, I trained day and night until my mental power could rival Tang Wan’s. Yet I remained an ordinary soldier. The positions others coveted in the Federation only disgusted me.
On the day the war began, I tied Wu Yi up. That fool was the only decent person among them. I would let him live.
When the battle started, I hid in a corner and watched Tang Wan fight the Insect Queen. I appeared when neither side could gain the upper hand.
But I was no savior. I was a vengeful ghost who had come to claim lives.
I struck Tang Wan to the ground like a dog and crushed his armor piece by piece.
That was the first step. For the second, I would pour my mental power into the Insect Queen and help her conquer Silan Star. Then I would go to join my General.
But somehow that irritating Wu Yi got free. Worse, he invoked the General to stop me.
He said, “Ji Nian, even when the General took his own life, he never thought of taking revenge on anyone. If he knew someone wanted to destroy the Silan Star he spent his life protecting for his sake, do you think he’d hate you?”
But those people did not deserve Wen Shilan’s protection!
The sight of them sickened me. I wanted to kill them all. Yet somehow that fool Wu Yi knew exactly what would shake me.
My plan failed because I really was afraid.
Of course. If I destroyed Silan Star, what would I do if I met the General after death and he hated me?
At the final moment, I abandoned my plan. I turned my mental power against the Insect Queen and traded my life to send her back into slumber.
I did not want to live anyway. If I could not have revenge, I might as well go and join my General sooner.
But although I died, somehow I also hadn’t. I woke up in the Supreme Space. Someone told me I had saved many people, so I could choose to begin a new life or stay here as either a mission taker or a system.
If even I could wake up, what about the General, who had saved so many more? I looked hopefully at one of the staff members. He said,
“We did receive the soul of someone named Wen Shilan a while ago. But he traded his soul to the Space, so he won’t wake up again.”
He wouldn’t wake up…
He had made a trade…
What was the point of my waking up, then?
I gave up on everything. Visiting the General’s soul each day was all that kept me going.
I thought I would spend the rest of my days drifting through life like that. Then the Lord God found me and said that if I did one thing for him, he could release the General’s soul.
I had never found the Lord God so dazzling. Forget one favor; I would have traded my own soul for that.
I assumed it was something important. Instead, he wanted me to join him and his divorced husband in their little romantic game.
I realized the Lord God of this Space was hopelessly lovesick. Still, I was grateful for it. His obsession with love had made mine possible.
Well, perhaps I wasn’t lovesick yet. I was simply obsessed with Wen Shilan, since we had never actually been together.
I sighed and let the memories fade. Just then, a voice sounded behind me, one that made my scalp tingle every time I heard it.
“Nian Nian, I’m not very good with this panel. Could you come help me?”
“Coming, General~”
Wen Shilan smiled helplessly. “I’ve told you not to call me General anymore. You can just use my name.”
I was a little too embarrassed to do that, so I changed the subject. “Then could you give me a kiss? I’ve dreamed about it for several days straight. Could you make my dream come true, just this once?”
I had learned that approach from the Lord God. He said shameless persistence was how he had won Lord Shiqing over.
But when the General suddenly blushed, turned away, and left, I decided the Lord God’s trick did not work. I had tried it several times, and the General had walked away every time.
I was about to go after him when I spotted Lord Shiqing laughing to himself not far away. I felt a little embarrassed, but not too much. I had once accidentally walked in on Lord Shiqing and the Lord God kissing. Compared with that, this was nothing~
“That General of yours is shy, but he hasn’t lost his temper with you or deliberately avoided you. Why don’t you take the chance and kiss him? If you keep asking like this, you won’t win him over in another few hundred years, idiot.”
How rude. He had called me an idiot.
But after I caught up with the General, drew him into the lounge, and kissed him, I wanted to go back and bow to Lord Shiqing in gratitude.
This was wonderful. I was in love.
At last, I had gone from being obsessed with Wen Shilan to being truly lovesick~
P.S. Didn’t see that coming, did you? Ahahaha! How great is Balala’s CP?~
