Tarola immediately grew tense, her hands instinctively clenching.
Where on earth is this pitch black place?
Why did the environment change without any warning?
What made her even more panicked was that someone was holding her tightly, with very intimate movements.
Tarola instantly bristled. "How dare you! Who dares to touch Soya's woman? Don't you want to live anymore?!"
"Bang!"
Tarola immediately condensed a pale blue energy sphere in her palm. The light emitted by the sphere instantly illuminated the entire room.
When she saw the person holding her was Soya, Tarola's hanging heart instantly dropped, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
But soon, Tarola felt something was wrong again.
The room's layout wasn't hers at all; instead, it looked like Kale's room!
Moreover, the aura on Soya carried Kale's fragrance...
Tarola instantly realized, widening her eyes to ask, "Soya, you didn't use exchange instant transmission to swap me with Kale, did you?"
"Don't talk first, focus on doing what you should do." Soya unceremoniously blocked her mouth, his movements carrying a hint of urgency.
Tarola: "..."
Tarola's mind went blank.
No, what are you using to block my mouth?
You were just with Kale...
Doesn't this mean Kale and I indirectly...
After another busy period, Soya finally leaned contentedly against the headboard, fished a cigarette from his system space, lit it, and took a few satisfying puffs, the smoke slowly spreading in the room.
"Soya, what is this you're smoking?" Tarola leaned against his chest, curiously looking at the cigarette in his hand. "Is it called a cigarette? I've seen this on Blue Star before; it seems Earth has this stuff too."
"This is called a post coital cigarette." Soya blew out a smoke ring, his tone relaxed.
"Post coital cigarette? That name is so strange. Is that really its name?" Tarola rested her head on Soya's thigh, her fingers restlessly tracing lightly over his body, her eyes carrying a hint of laziness.
"Stop moving around." Soya patted her hand, scolding unkindly. "Can't you just be still?"
"You were the one moving around just now." Tarola snorted, her tone carrying a hint of grievance. "I was sleeping soundly, then suddenly you swapped me over. Couldn't you at least let me mentally prepare?"
"It's fine. A few more times, and you'll get used to it." Soya chuckled happily, not feeling the least bit in the wrong.
"It must have been Kale's idea!" Tarola huffed angrily, pouting with a sullen expression, tugging at Soya's sleeve. "I want to get back at her. Quickly swap her over so she can taste this too!"
As she spoke, Tarola skillfully opened her mouth, then raised her hand to tie her loose hair into a simple ponytail, her eyes holding a stubborn, unwilling-to-lose glint.
Soya: "..."
Soya covered his face and sighed.
You guys are playing way too wild. Can't you tone it down a bit?
Complaints aside, Soya still complied.
"Swish!"
Tarola's figure instantly vanished, replaced by Kale in her place.
As soon as the swap completed, Kale couldn't help but cough. "Mmm... cough cough... What's going on? Where's Tarola?"
"This was Tarola's idea. It has nothing to do with me." Soya struggled to hold back laughter, spreading his hands with an innocent look.
Kale: "..."
Kale felt like crying.
Heavens, earth! I lifted a stone only to drop it on my own foot, dug a pit and buried myself!
If only I hadn't suggested this method!
Not long after, Tarola walked in laughing, approached the bedside, looked at the disheveled Kale, her eyes narrowing into slits from laughter. "So? Sister Kale, how does that feel? Not bad, right?"
That night, Soya lay on the soft large bed, holding Kale on his left and Tarola on his right. The two nestled obediently against his chest, and he soon fell into a deep, sweet sleep.
Before sleeping, Soya specifically inquired about the recent situation on Planet Vegeta. Kale and Tarola took turns explaining, their account consistent with what Soya had seen and sensed during the day.
King Vegeta was managing the planet quite well, strictly following the policies and directions Soya had previously set, without making any unauthorized changes.
Although King Vegeta had long wanted to adjust the policies, before he could act on it, Kale and Bardock returned first, forcing him to temporarily suppress his ideas.
Seeing the Saiyan race gradually getting on the right track, Soya felt happy for them.
But then again, with things this way, earning Negative Emotional Value would be harder. The matter of prize draws might have to wait a bit longer.
...
Meanwhile, Raditz also returned to his home immediately.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Gine quickly came up to meet him, carefully looking him up and down, smiling as she said, "Raditz is back? Hmm, looks like you've grown taller, more mature and steady. Going out for training really is effective."
Bardock also walked out of the room, deliberately straightening his collar, trying to appear less casual.
Although he was usually strict with his son, he still cared deeply about Raditz in his heart.
"Dad, Mom, you two weren't secretly doing something in the room, were you? Am I going to have a little brother or sister?" Raditz winked, asking with a face full of anticipation, his tone full of teasing.
Gine's face instantly turned bright red, quickly turning away to pretend to adjust her clothes.
Bardock's face darkened, glaring fiercely at Raditz, his tone serious. "What nonsense are you talking! Get to the point!"
Raditz grinned fearlessly, proudly lifting his chin. "Dad, do you know what my current battle power is? Wahahaha! I guarantee it'll shock you!"
"What? Your battle power increased again?" Bardock raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious.
Raditz's battle power was only 60,000 before he left. How could it have increased again in such a short time?
"Hehe! Dad, Mom, my current battle power is a full 600,000!" Raditz chuckled, excitedly waving his fist, wishing he could show them immediately.
"What? 600,000!" Bardock's eyebrows shot up, a rare look of shock appearing on his face.
A battle power of 600,000 far exceeded that of ordinary Saiyans, even surpassing his current battle power!
Gine also covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Right, I need to use the bathroom first. I'll tell you in detail about Kakarot when I get back." After saying this, without waiting for their response, Raditz hurriedly ran out of the house, his body transforming into a streak of light flying towards the direction of the public restroom.
Raditz had long wanted to pay Frieza a proper visit.
"Thud!"
Raditz landed steadily at the entrance of the public restroom.
The Saiyan guarding the door saw him and quickly stepped forward respectfully to greet him. "Lord Raditz, you're back? Just returned and already going to pay Frieza a visit?"
"How has he been lately? Still behaving?" Raditz casually asked, his tone full of amusement.
