Tumi, Rebrewed Wine

Calamity Planet was originally called Blue Ocean Planet, an ocean planet with 99 percent of its surface covered by sea.

One day twenty-five years ago, Blue Ocean Planet suffered a catastrophe after being struck by a meteorite.

The ice rapidly melted, and water vanished without a trace in a short span of time.

Blue was swallowed by terrifying yellow sand. More than 90 percent of plants and animals died, while the native residents either perished or fled.

The suddenly harsh climate made the planet unbearable, and Blue Ocean Planet was henceforth renamed Calamity Planet.

Ever since Calamity Planet became the Blue River System's only "prison planet," those imprisoned here were no longer merely the most vicious serious criminals from every planet.

There were also countless "prison officers" with no backing, whose talents went unrecognized and who had been deliberately sidelined.

The serious criminals imprisoned here found it difficult to escape, and the "prison officers" transferred here likewise had no date of return.

Lu Mi's icy voice was like an arrow piercing the black night sky.

"His Majesty Blue River might not give us vast blue skies and strictly forbids us from breathing freely, but that doesn't matter.

We'll take everything we want ourselves!"

Black ankle boots stepped out of First Prison's main building.

In the open grounds normally used by serious criminals for exercise, nearly 70 percent of First Prison's prison officers arrived one after another.

They stood neatly in the open space, their backs straight as they watched Lu Mi. One by one, they removed their officer caps, then tore off the epaulets representing their identities, tossed them into the yellow sand, and ground them beneath their leather boots.

Lu Mi curled his lips and led Yu Tu forward by the hand.

"What are we waiting for, then? Let's go, everyone."

The prison officers made way for them, their gazes following Lu Mi as he turned. Once Lu Mi and the others had passed through, they immediately followed.

First Prison's gates let out a heavy rumble and slowly opened.

Countless footprints stepped across them in succession.

Pairs of eyes stared at the endless yellow sands ahead, filled for the first time with fiery, wild dreams.

"Go! Fight for our future!"

-

The battle at Second Prison had already reached a fever pitch.

Zeng Yun, a Diamond Rank black bear.

Qi An, a Diamond Rank vulture.

Ming Qiuxue faced two opponents alone and still held his ground.

The Longevity Lock, capable of both attack and defense, had transformed into a long snake winding around Ming Qiuxue.

One end was clutched in Ming Qiuxue's hand as he battled Zeng Yun, whose hands were fitted with Source-Energy Gauntlets. The other end burrowed through the yellow sand, repeatedly stopping the Vulture Mecha spreading its wings overhead.

Not far from Ming Qiuxue, Chang Feng wielded an Energy Maul as he clashed with Qi An.

All around them, Second Prison and Third Prison were locked in combat, with neither side able to claim victory for the moment.

A roar rang out.

"Well, well, Warden Qi An. At your age, with those old arms and legs, you're still fighting?"

Lu Mi arrived with the people from First Prison. Black Shadow followed beside Yu Tu and gave another fitting roar.

Perfect. It successfully drew everyone's attention.

The group battle came to a near standstill.

Black Shadow perked up the tip of its tail, holding its heart high right in front of Yu Tu.

Yu Tu bit his lip.

This... was really hard to resist.

He lightly scratched Lu Mi's palm and secretly shot him an inquiring look.

Lu Mi: "..."

Was this really the time to act cute?

Did that old bastard really think he... couldn't resist this?!

With a cold face, Lu Mi nodded. Yu Tu happily reached out to play with Black Shadow's heart-shaped tail.

Black Shadow blissfully narrowed its eyes, its metal tongue going "hiss-ha, hiss-ha."

Lu Mi: "..."

He readjusted his emotions.

"Warden Qi An, come here, come here. This junior really can't bear to see you work so hard. Leave the matter of beating up Ming Qiuxue to me!"

As he spoke, energy markings appeared on Lu Mi's face. He pulled something from his waist and directly tossed it at the Vulture Mecha in the air. "Stinking bird, catch!"

A golden flash streaked through the air. The Vulture Mecha moved swiftly, catching it in its beak one second, then regretting it the next.

Golden Eye gave it a cold look, its serpentine body quickly coiling around the mecha's neck before it opened its mouth and bit down hard!

With a smack, the Vulture Mecha fell!

Yu Tu gave a "Wow!"

"Golden Eye is amazing!"

Clap clap!

Qi An looked at the Vulture Mecha on the ground, locked in battle with Golden Eye, and chuckled.

"Lu Mi, you threw the wrong thing. Why did you toss Golden Eye out like garbage? But it doesn't matter. It's a small matter. Ming Qiuxue intends to rebel. Cut off his head, and I won't report it or hold you accountable."

"Sure, sure, sure!"

Lu Mi smiled roguishly. He slipped his hands beneath Yu Tu's arms, lifted him up, and placed him on Black Shadow's back.

"Baby, stay put. I'm going to clean up some filth."

Then he knocked Black Shadow on the head.

"Look at you. This isn't the time to be lovesick. Protect him properly."

Black Shadow: "Hiss-ha, hiss-ha!"

Lu Mi strode toward Ming Qiuxue. The Dark Whip instantly condensed in his hand, and without any courtesy, he swung it at Ming Qiuxue!

Just as the Dark Whip was about to reach Ming Qiuxue, it abruptly changed direction and lashed toward Qi An instead!

Qi An had clearly been prepared. His beastified eagle claws instantly seized the Dark Whip.

He sighed regretfully.

"Lu Mi, you really disappoint me too much.

When I agreed to let you become the warden of First Prison, it was because you were alone and had no one to rely on. That way, there would be none of those troublesome connections to worry about.

But tell me, what is this supposed to be? The Ming Family is rebelling, so why are you joining in?"

The tip of the Dark Whip suddenly lifted and viciously struck Qi An across the face, instantly leaving a bloody mark.

As Qi An released it, Lu Mi drew back the Dark Whip.

"Alone, with no one to rely on?"

Lu Mi smiled.

"Then Warden Qi An's information isn't accurate enough. I have another name, yet you don't even know it."

"What name?"

"Lu Xiaojiu." Lu Mi grinned. "Unfortunately for you, Lu Xiaojiu has Commander Yu Tu at his back."

Tumi, pronounced Tumi, referred in ancient texts to rebrewed wine.

Lu Xiaojiu's name could no longer be used, but it had never died.

Every day Lu Mi lived, he thought of Yu Tu.

Lin Luo: "..."

What did he mean, at his back? Boss Lu was still being too restrained.

If Lin Luo had to say it, it wasn't at his back, but "inside him."

Qi An looked toward Yu Tu, and the kind smile on his face could no longer remain. He narrowed his eyes. "So, Commander Yu Tu, have you been putting on an act recently?"

Huh?

Yu Tu grew a little flustered from the question, and his palms even began to sweat.

He didn't intend to answer.

If he didn't speak, he couldn't be wrong.

The more flustered he felt, the colder his face became, and the crazier his aura grew.

Qi An sneered. Based solely on Yu Tu's aura, he confirmed Yu Tu's crime.

"Very good, Commander Yu Tu. I never expected that even His Majesty would miscalculate this time! But no matter. Perfectly timed—I shall fulfill two of His Majesty's wishes at once. I'll take both Ming Qiuxue's life and yours!"

Yu Tu: "..."

A trace of grievance flashed through his beautiful red eyes.

"How can you be like this!"

He hadn't said anything, yet this man wanted to kill him!

"Was I wrong even for not speaking?!"

Sitting atop Black Shadow, Yu Tu pointed at Qi An.

Of course, he didn't forget to ask Lu Mi for permission.

"Lu Mi, I really hate him! Can I kill him?!"

Lu Mi glared. "Stay put!"

Yu Tu: "...Okay."

Lu Mi shifted his gaze back to Qi An. "As for killing him, I'll do it!"

Lu Mi instantly underwent complete Beastification. The aura around him far surpassed what it had been before as he swiftly lunged straight at Qi An.

"We'll settle the interrogation score today too!"

Lin Luo pulled a small mirror from his pocket. The mirror opened to reveal a tiny comb.

He tidied his hair and put the mirror away.

"Battle!"

Heads could be severed and blood could be spilled, but before battle, his hairstyle could not be messed up.

The prison officers of First Prison immediately charged out!

Zhang Jiao, who fainted at the sight of blood, shut his eyes and served as an enthusiastic cheerleader. "Everyone, go!"

Cang Qi opened his metal suitcase and took out a strange contraption. He flipped its switch and picked up a remote control.

Yu Tu was very curious. "Little Cang, what is this?"

"This is an Energy Sprayer I recently developed. This remote can control its direction, and the button in the middle fires energy."

Cang Qi gave a simple demonstration. The sprayed energy hit a Third Prison officer right in the butt, sending him sprawling face-first into the sand with a mouthful of grit.

Cang Qi scratched his head. "But I'm only an Advanced Energy Master, and this energy weapon consumes a lot of energy. If I use it, its maximum power is only this much. If Warden Lu used it, he could definitely kill someone!"

Yu Tu's eyes lit up. "Then, Little Cang, can I try?"
