On Earth, her Brainwave Power at most allowed her to hover for a bit. But in the vacuum of space, where the gravitational force of the Earth Battleships is weak, she could soar effortlessly.
As for being captured? The kid had seen many strangers lately and was unclear whether she arrived at an amusement-park-like place or if something happened, so she reacted naturally.
"Stop right there, you little rascal!"
Addicted lunged to grab Jia Qi, but she deftly dodged his pounce while airborne.
The two kept evading each other in the spacious battleship, devoid of others.
"Senior, what’s going on? You can’t even control a small child." Northeast Wild Tiger had to operate the ship and couldn’t cast a hand. After all, he was managing such a huge battleship, replacing countless people’s roles. It was incredibly impressive that he hadn’t collapsed yet.
Addicted alone was struggling to catch Qiqi.
"Giggle. Mom spanks!" Suddenly, Qiqi seemed to remember a trick Jia Lin used on her. She wanted thin and bony Addicted to experience it too!
The little girl flying mid-air delivered a strike, hitting Addicted’s butt!
"Ouch!" The usually stern middle-aged man, a master no less, gave out a laugh-inducing moan upon being kicked— ruining his masterly image!
This master, no longer a Strong One in front of aliens of outer star level, became a joke even when facing a baby girl like Qiqi with decent Brainwave Power Talent.
Qiqi burst into hearty laughter as Addicted got hit and bumped into the wall of the battleship. It was as if she had found a good idea ’to handle adults’, which made her very happy.
With her large eyes scanning the void, Qiqi spotted another target - the Northeast Wild Tiger, who kept looking at her but was unable to act within the cockpit!
He was a burly man who appeared anything but friendly. But among all creatures Qiqi had recently encountered, many were far scarier than the Northeast Wild Tiger! It could even be said that she grew up seeing all sorts of terrifying things!
The Giant Mosquito Uncle and those under him - wasn’t each one stronger and more dreadful than this large man?
Without hesitation, Qiqi flew towards him, intending to try out ’mom’s secret weapon’ on him!
"Giggle! Mom spanks!"
The petite figure in the air laughed loudly before swooping behind the Northeast Wild Tiger. Finding him seated and unable to hit his butt, she had to improvise.
But that didn’t hinder smart little Qiqi. Raise a leg, aim at the head, and bam! If she couldn’t hit the butt, she would go for the head!
"Mom hits head! Mom hits head!"
"Oh! Senior, please find a way to control her!"
The Northeast Wild Tiger unguardedly got his head kicked into the operating screen.
The battleship jolted abruptly, presumably when some buttons were inadvertently hit.
"I want to control her, but who knew she’d be this nimble in space. I should have tied her down on the ground!"
It was then that Addicted, still dizzy, managed to rise from the ground. Seeing the naughty child - flying and giving bashful laughter while looking at the disconcerted Northeast Wild Tiger - he felt like crying!
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to control her, but who could have imagined a toddler that could barely walk would be this troublesome!
Perhaps they didn’t know, after exhibiting her talent, Qiqi received guidance from Brainwave Power experts under the Giant Mosquito, coupled with her already fondness for ’toss-n-catch’ Brainwave Power games. Although still a child, when it came to Brainwave Power, she beat all Earth people hands down!
Having talent and good teachers, and ’toss-n-catch’ daily, it was hardly surprising for Qiqi to turn into an unruly little tyrant!
"Here, Qiqi, aren’t you hungry? Uncle has some food. If you come nicely, you can have it." Addicted resorted to his ace.
"Liar! You’re not uncle, you’re grandpa!" Qiqi retorted righteously in a charming squeak.
"I? Grandpa..." Addicted paused in surprise. He was just in his forties. How did he become a grandpa? This hurt his feelings.
Not just because he looked a bit older, but calling him grandpa was rather harsh...
"Bad man. Mom’s gonna spank!"
With a loud cry, Qiqi seemed enraged by the man who should’ve been ’grandpa’ asking her to call him ’uncle’, and flew towards him at once!
Blessed by the frequent ’toss-n-catch’ games played with Jia, Qiqi held no fear of being in mid-air. Instead, she reveled in the freedom of flying and was utterly excited.
Addicted was all set when the tiny girl rushed towards him. He spread his arms wide, ready to catch Jia Qi in mid-pounce.
But just when Qiqi was about to reach him-
An impact of Brainwave Power, while not too strong, was sufficient to disorient Addicted for an instant!
