Rez pulled Linoshi's hand as they entered the spaceship.
His feet stepped onto the metal floor, making a soft sound.
The interior of the spaceship was more spacious than imagined, with various instruments and pipes lining both sides of the corridors, and the air was filled with a faint metallic scent.
Vegeta also hurriedly followed, looking around alertly.
"Creak—"
The spaceship's hatch slowly closed behind them, cutting off the starry sky outside.
"Huff, huff, huff!"
Vegeta gasped for breath again, looking back with some lingering fear to confirm that the hatch was indeed closed.
That was really close just now!
He had almost died in the vacuum of space.
From now on, I, Vegeta, will absolutely never expose my body to outer space again!
"Are you stupid?" Rez turned back and scolded Vegeta testily, his tone full of helplessness.
"You... what do you mean?" Vegeta snorted, his small face full of defiance.
"I released the protective shield inside the spaceship; while releasing it, I also compressed a portion of the air inside to take with us, which is why we could survive in outer space!" Rez looked like a teacher disappointed in a student, pointing a finger at Vegeta. "As long as you reduce the amount of air you breathe, surviving for a long time is no problem. But you, you just went and released a shield directly in outer space—what the hell use is that?"
Vegeta: "..."
Vegeta thought about it carefully and realized he was right.
What you said makes so much sense that I don't even know how to refute it.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless.
He could only close his mouth resentfully, his face flushing bright red.
As Vegeta's teacher, Rez had a responsibility to educate him.
The Vegeta in the original story didn't seem this stupid.
Did I teach him into being an idiot?
Releasing a shield in a vacuum—it would be a miracle if that worked!
Linoshi couldn't help but smile, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly, though she didn't laugh out loud after all.
She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly as she struggled to hold back her laughter.
"Wa ka ka ka!"
Linoshi didn't laugh, but someone in the distance let out a burst of unbridled, wild laughter.
The laughter was sharp and piercing, echoing throughout the empty spaceship, filled with mockery and smugness.
Vegeta was furious and immediately turned his head toward the direction of the laughter.
With one look, Vegeta's pupils shrank slightly, and his face instantly became exceptionally grim.
Not far ahead, a pink figure was standing there with arms crossed, a signature malicious grin on his face.
He was burly and fat, wearing the Frieza Force battle armor, his eyes full of playfulness.
"Do... Do... Dodoria!" Vegeta stuttered a bit, subconsciously taking half a step back. "It really is you!"
"Not so many 'Do's!" Dodoria squinted and wagged his finger, his tone flippant. "Just call me Mr. Dodoria."
"How can you be here?" Vegeta asked through gritted teeth, trying his best to stay calm.
Earlier, Rez had said there was a high probability the opponent was Dodoria.
Vegeta had actually been skeptical.
Why would Dodoria follow them?
Now, seeing Dodoria standing right there with his own eyes, Vegeta felt a surge of panic in his heart.
A battle power of 22,000 was a full 7,000 higher than his; this gap was not just a small amount.
Furthermore, the Scouter could now detect Dodoria's battle power value.
The screen clearly displayed: Battle Power 22,000.
This guy's battle power had indeed reached the height of 22,000.
This is bad!
"Get the situation straight. This is my spaceship. You come into my spaceship and then turn around to question me on why I'm here?" Dodoria laughed then, laughing very happily, the fat on his face trembling.
"You were clearly tracking our spaceship. What exactly is your purpose? Did Frieza arrange for you to do this?" Vegeta questioned angrily, clenching his fists.
"Hmph hmph hmph." Dodoria snorted coldly and pulled back his smile. "Lord Frieza has already issued an order. In one month, we will join forces to attack a super planet."
He paused, his gaze turning cold.
"For this reason, Lord Frieza has strictly forbidden anyone from leaving Planet Vegeta! Little Prince Vegeta, you disobeyed orders and left the planet without permission! What is your crime!"
"Hmph, I am a Saiyan. Why should I listen to that fellow Frieza's orders?" Vegeta snorted coldly, arguing his point with a stiff neck.
"Why?" Dodoria gave a contemptuous smile, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
"Shua!"
In the next instant, Dodoria's figure blurred and he vanished from his spot.
Vegeta's pupils shrank as he searched around, but he couldn't catch his figure.
In just a flash, Dodoria appeared behind Linoshi.
His speed was too fast, so fast that Vegeta couldn't react at all.
"Just because my battle power is the highest! I can do whatever I want here!" Dodoria looked crazed as he lunged a claw toward Linoshi's back.
His five fingers were spread, his fingertips gleaming with a cold light; this one strike was enough to rip out an ordinary person's heart.
Clearly, Dodoria wanted to make an example of her in front of Vegeta to intimidate him.
Killing his clanswoman right before the little prince's eyes...
...would definitely make Vegeta fly into a humiliated rage.
Finally, he would give him a brutal beating and make him kill his teacher with his own hands.
Dodoria felt excited just thinking about it.
Doing this would definitely be very interesting.
His claws lunged toward Linoshi's back at extreme speed.
The wind from the claw was fierce, tearing through the air and letting out a sharp whistle.
Linoshi: "..."
Why come for me?
Is it because my battle power is only 200?
She stood there motionless, a hint of bewilderment flashing in her blue eyes.
Linoshi was just about to dodge.
With her movement techniques and the innate Ultra Instinct of an Angel, even if Dodoria's strike were ten thousand times faster, it wouldn't touch her in the slightest.
Her body had already shifted slightly, instinctively making the most precise dodge prediction.
However, someone else's movements were faster.
"Pa!"
Rez's large hand lunged forward and grabbed Dodoria's wrist.
The force was so great that Dodoria's offensive instantly froze in mid-air, unable to advance another inch.
Although Rez knew very well that with Linoshi's movement techniques, she could easily dodge Dodoria's attack...
...he didn't want to test such things.
Since Linoshi is so good to me, then I will treat her as my girlfriend and protect her well.
Treat her as an ordinary girlfriend!
From now on, let me be the one to protect her.
Rez's eyes were firm, his five fingers gripping Dodoria's wrist like iron pliers, unmoving.
Dodoria was stunned and turned his head to look at Rez, his eyes full of disbelief.
Linoshi instantly felt a warmth in her heart.
