Nappa hesitated for a moment before going over to support Vegeta.
Vegeta desperately wanted to kill him to silence the witness; he truly couldn't bear having such a humiliating scene observed. However, his injuries were currently too severe. Killing a subordinate who was still considered loyal to him would be a very foolish move.
Supporting him, Nappa returned to the small spaceship and connected the life support system. They were very close to a military planet of the Frieza Force; they could go there to use the medical machines for healing.
Regardless of how heavy the injuries were, as long as one wasn't dead, the Force could bring them back.
"Next time! Next time I will definitely kill all the Earthlings!" At the final moment before falling unconscious, Vegeta spoke with vicious ferocity.
Nappa was no longer as respectful towards him as before. You got beaten this badly, and you're still talking tough?
Go to Earth again? Don't be ridiculous. That female esper is simply incredibly strong. Not only is her battle power high, but she also has a multitude of various superpower methods. For such a strong enemy, the Ginyu Force should be sent to deal with them. You could beat me to death, and I still wouldn't go to Earth!
He clutched his chest, nodding repeatedly to soothe Vegeta. Only then did he stumble into his own spaceship. After setting the destination, the two of them departed this barren planet one after the other.
...
Far away on the North Kai's Planet, King Kai watched the two Saiyans heading home. He didn't have any special thoughts regarding this; it was very common. To Son Goku and Krillin, Earth was everything. But to the universe, even Frieza was a minor character of little consequence, let alone Vegeta.
The North Kai looked toward the side where Son Goku was training bitterly. He was very satisfied with this Saiyan's diligence.
On my side, I have Son Goku for martial arts and Ino for literary strategy. With both the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix in my hand, there is nothing under heaven to worry about!
The more the North Kai thought about it, the happier he became. He didn't mention the matter of the Saiyans being beaten away. Instead, he instructed Son Goku to continue training, while he went back to take a nap himself.
...
Destroyer's Realm.
The Destroyer of the current universe, Beerus, was sleeping soundly.
He was wearing pajamas, and his sleeping posture wasn't honest in the slightest—scratching his face one moment, flipping over like a pancake the next, and shaking those long ears of his a moment later.
As his supervisor, the Angel Whis paid no mind to his sleeping appearance, simply eating a cold dessert on the side.
"Hmm?" He suddenly looked in Beerus's direction, only to see a floating small island outside the Destroyer's Realm suddenly explode.
He floated to Beerus's side and carefully examined this Destroyer. "Lord Beerus, you've slept for less than twenty years this time. Are you getting up to work?"
Beerus waved his hand reflexively. "Don't annoy me, let me continue... continue sleeping... Wild boar, a wild boar is biting... biting my foot..."
Whis tasted the delicacy in his hand and spoke nonchalantly, "So he was dreaming. It seems nothing major is happening, so please continue to sleep then."
...
"Plow, we didn't travel to the wrong time point, did we?"
Ino extended her right hand. An animal looking like a long-tailed cat was swaying in front of her eyes. She casually petted it twice, finding the texture to be mediocre. The long-tailed cat bared its teeth at her; she glared, scaring the cat away.
After beating away Vegeta, Ino spent ten days charging the energy. Just now, while traveling through time, she encountered a burst of time turbulence. Although she managed to dodge it, time was a very mysterious thing; a miss is as good as a mile. It was hard to say if any problems had occurred.
The Treasured Tool: Plow still retained that turtle-shell appearance. At this moment, it stretched out its head, looking left and right.
"I don't know."
"...You guy, you're too unreliable."
"If you're so capable, travel through time yourself."
"Fine, fine, you're amazing. You rest first."
Ino attempted to fly out of the atmosphere, but she was blocked by an invisible energy barrier just below the cloud layer. Judging by the thickness of this thing, it would be difficult to break through without using full power.
"What the hell is this?" She didn't force her way through. Instead, she activated her sensory abilities to the fullest and soon discovered a village twenty miles away. She used the Transformation Technique to turn into the appearance of a local. Without encountering any interrogation, she mixed into the village.
"Minotia, going to train again?" A slender middle-aged woman with long ears, looking like an elf, shouted loudly.
A gentle-looking elf youth responded with a grin, "Yes, Auntie Susan. I will definitely become a hero like my brother!"
Ino, who was drinking inside Susan's tavern, was completely confused. Hero? What is this godforsaken place?
After she took out a piece of gold to pay the bill, Susan told her about the Hero brothers.
Tapion and Minotia were an extremely loving pair of brothers. The older brother was a warrior very famous in the surrounding ten miles, while the younger brother was still young but kind and upright; everyone liked him very much.
"Another bro-con?" Ino curled her lips. I ran all the way to this godforsaken place, and a bro-con still manages to appear in front of me?
Her Crossing Moon Bridge relied on spatial nodes. There were slight differences between the spatial nodes of a thousand years ago and those of a thousand years later. If she wanted to use space-time abilities, she needed to "scout points" again.
She learned from Susan that the capital city of this planet was currently holding a large-scale sacrificial activity. The entire sky was a no-fly zone; apparently, this was a tradition.
Ino thought about it.
Forcing her way through would mean combat. If she accidentally killed someone who wasn't supposed to die, the timeline would definitely generate a massive amount of variables. So she chose not to force her way in. The ritual would have to end eventually; I'll just leave after you guys are done. I have plenty of time.
...
Ino calculated that she was within the range of the South Galaxy. She immediately settled down on this planet named Konats. That pair of Hero brothers sounded very influential, so she hid far away, patiently waiting for the ritual to end. This wait lasted for a whole month.
The attention of the residents in the city was on the ritual and the subsequent celebration. With nothing to do, Ino went to the river to fish.
Over these past few days, she met a fishing buddy. The other party's fishing skills were even lousier than hers, and he didn't talk much. Occasionally, when they met, they would just nod.
"Uncle, your fishing skills are really no good," Ino said as she walked over and glanced at the other person's fish basket. Good lord, it was spotless; not a single fish.
At least she had caught one small fish.
The middle-aged man was dressed very ordinarily. At this moment, he didn't mind her comment, leisurely waiting for a fish to take the hook.
"You are still young; you don't know that waiting is where the fun lies."
Ino spoke with a tone of having seen through the ways of the world, "Not young anymore. My daughter is almost two years old."
The middle-aged man said casually, "Then she must be very mischievous, right? But children at this age are all very fun. I also have a daughter; she was simply too mischievous when she was little... By the way, she looks a bit like you. You both have this high ponytail. However, her hair color is silver. Unlike you, yours is golden."
Ino didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but a second later, she felt something was off. I have the Transformation Technique on; where did you see that my ponytail and hair color are golden?
Before she could ask, several burly and powerful men walked over from the riverbank. The leading strong man bowed to the middle-aged man. "Lord Priest, the ritual is about to begin."
The middle-aged man put away his fishing rod. He spoke with a hidden meaning, "Today will be very lively. It's an occurrence hard to come by in a thousand years. If you are interested, you can come and have some fun."
