"Expanding our forces?" Dodoria's eyes lit up and his pink flesh jiggled. "But King Frieza, if we were to expand outward right now, our manpower may not be enough!"
"Oh… " Frieza stroked his chin and laughed maniacally: "Then, arrange some people to go probe the situation. Umm, I will delegate over a 100 people from the First Corp to form a few squads. Take the East Area, it's relatively peaceful!"
The First Corp was the most elite army he had. They were all experts, and even Dodoria wasn't a match for some of them. Frieza feels at ease in creating the advance squad, with 100 First Corp people, that'll investigate the East Area's situation.
Dodoria was shocked at King Frieza's plan; he immediately complied with a nod and said, "Yes, King Frieza, I will immediately make the arrangements."
Speaking, he turned around and made to leave when Frieza's slightly hoarse voice called out.
"Right, arrange another group, and have them carefully investigate the reason behind my brother's conflict with father. I want a clear answer!"
Frieza had a hunch all this contained a huge secret.
"Yes!"
Terror gripped Dodoria's body and mind. But it involves His Excellency Cooler and King Cold ah!
Good or bad? He wasn't sure of the outcome of getting involved with them!
Since Mr. Zarbon's death, Dodoria quickly began to learn about the composition of surrounding Forces. Now that he had a detailed understanding of the surrounding experts, Dodoria employed even more caution.
But since Frieza had now commanded him, he must carry it out—even if he wasn't willing!
After Dodoria left, Frieza's expression turned cold and he muttered to himself while gazing at the monotonous and desolate scenery outside the window: "What could they be fighting for?"
……
Planet Hongshan.
The sky was clear and white clouds were floating about.
Everyone left, one by one, after drinking the Fountain of Youth, including Bardock—who was careful when bringing out that small portion of Fountain of Youth with him. Only Adri, Rebecca, and Xiaya were left behind in the room.
"Little Ya, it was right to leave a portion of Fountain of Youth for Gine!" Adri said seriously after the others were gone: "Bardock is not simple, I have a hunch… his future achievements will, absolutely, not be meager. As the king of the Saiyans on Planet Hongshan, you must win him over!"
Xiaya glanced at Adri with astonishment. He didn't expect Adri to be this perceptive; It did pave a way for him.
He smiled faintly and yet was thinking in his heart: Bardock is undoubtedly powerful, yet it hadn't reached the point where Xiaya would attempt to specially win him over. Xiaya had only given Gine a portion of the Fountain of Youth because what he regard as highly important is her son—Kakarrot!
"Hehe, I want to send Xiling and Myers their portion, but I don't know where they ran off too!"
Xiaya smiled and pointed at the two portions of spring water on the table.
"Those little brats, especially Xiling, she is no longer a child, but her personality is still childish. Little Ya, only you can properly keep them under control." Rebecca joked but her eyes kept staring at Xiaya. She couldn't control both of them, so she is handing them over to Xiaya.
Xiaya laughed awkwardly and complied, "Will do, will do!"
What is Aunt Rebecca suggesting ah!
"Then, aunt Rebecca, I will go look for them," Xiaya hurriedly spoke and used Instant Transmission to sense their aura. However, he couldn't sense their aura even after searching a large area.
The two brats wouldn't have left the East Area, right?
He kept trying and expanded the scope of the Instant Transmission. After adding space-time ability, he was finally able to discern their auras. Xiaya's face revealed surprise as he linked their coordinates to the star chart of Universe 7 that appeared in his mind.
"They actually ran over to earth!"
Xiling and Myers's aura's auras had revealed their location, Earth in North Area.
"Myers probably egged Xiling to go. That brat has been drooling over the food on earth for a long time." Xiaya mused and said a few words to Adri and Rebecca, before vanishing with a swoosh.
"Look, you scared Little Ya away." Adri's black face revealed a smile as he spoke.
Rebecca smiled as well, "If I hadn't urged him, how would Little Ya remember to go look for Xiling so early? See, wasn't that very good…"
"Ha ha ha!"
Earth.
A peninsula city, near the seaside, where Xiaya had lived before.
Xiling and Myers were gorging on food in a family restaurant. Clang clang, the collisions of tableware created sounds that reverberate all around. They ate fast. A plate of food was served and, immediately, a few afterimages flashed past, and everything on the dining table was swept clean.
The appearance of two people eating so fiercely shocked the people closeby, leaving them with dumbfounded looks.
No one had imagined that these two beautiful girls who looks so pretty and adorable would devour food, in such a frightening manner. Sure enough, one can't be judged by looks alone.
"Hey, hey, Xiling, are there other places to go and eat tasty food, once we're done here?" Myers asked incoherently with a mouth full of food.
"West City, I heard it is the most prosperous city on earth. I also have haven't been there before, but it should be quite good." At this moment, Xiling and Myers were getting along with each other, as eating was the only thought they had in their mind now.
"Mhm, mhm, then, let's wait until we finish eating here. If I had known that food on earth is so delicious, I would have come over much earlier!"
"How would you be have been able to locate earth if I didn't show you the way?" Xiling glanced at her with cold and arrogance written on her face, and her exquisite eyes revealing a detestably smug expression.
"Hey, can't you see the disturbance you are causing with your eating? Are there girls like you two, who don't pay attention to their image?" Suddenly, a clear voice echoed next to them.
"Who are you talking about? You really have guts… Xiaya, what are you doing here?" Myers couldn't finish her sentence before she hollered in surprise when she noticed that it was Xiaya, who had arrived.
"What was that you said just now? Keep on talking!" Xiaya stared at her.
Speechless, Myers small face flushed red with embarrassment.
"Xiaya, you're finally here!" Xiling stood up and walked towards Xiaya and after staring at him for a moment, she proceeded to hug Xiaya, smearing oil all over him in the process.
"You…" Xiaya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although he felt great having a beauty in his arms… Xiling, you have to pay attention to your appearance ah! She had completely dirtied his clothes.
"It's your punishment, who told you to come back only now," Xiling gave him a haughty look and then again sat down—to eat.
"Do you want to eat too?"
"Okay!" Xiaya grinned and sat down, before reaching out his hand to pick food from a plate.
"Hee hee!" The Myers brat, who was sitting at the side and gazing at Xiling and Xiaya suddenly giggled. Thump! And she was, naturally, met with a knock on her head.
"What are you doing?" Myers screamed while rubbing the spot on her head where she was hit.
"Nothing, my hands just felt itchy." Xiling's answered indifferently while looking at Myers.
"You!" Myers angrily opened her mouth but turned listless instead, like a grass that had lost its nourishment. At the moment, she was no match for Xiling.
After they returned from Planet Namek, with potential unlocked, Xiling's strength has vastly surpassed hers. Although she had trained hard to attain 180,000 Battle power, It still couldn't be compared to Xiling's 410,000 Battle Power!
"You two obviously have such a good relationship, so why are you then always quarreling." Xiaya smiled and shook his head. Is this the friendship between girls? It didn't seem to be the case!
Xiaya accompanied Xiling and Myers in finishing the meal and naturally got up to settle the bill, as he had joined them in the middle. Once he paid the bill, he led them out of the restaurant.
"Hey, hey, Xiaya; you had been gone for such a long time to search for the super dragon balls. Did you already find all of them?" Myers asked with shining eyes.
"Tell me… " Xiaya answered her question with another question: "Earth is really far from Planet Hongshan, so why did you run all the way here to play?"
"Hehe, I heard you say the food on earth was delicious, wouldn't it have been a pity not to come here and eat?" Myers patted her bulging stomach and laughed mischievously.
Xiaya gave a disdainful look at her reply. The brat had somehow mixed what is important and what is not. Although Saiyans loves delicious food, they had no need to go somewhere far away, i.e. earth, for delicious food. They were better off spending the time to train more, and amass a little more strength.
Xiaya switched his gaze to Xiling.
"Myers wanted to come, and since I also haven't been to Earth for many years, I thought I'd come by." Xiling smiled, her bright eyes looking around charmingly.
A light breeze blew and caused a lock of her beautiful silky hair to flutter. For a moment, Xiaya stared blankly. He suddenly realized that Xiling was now a 16-year-old girl.
"What is it?" Xiling caught Xiaya staring at her in daze and asked.
"Nothing!" Xiaya shook his head and changed the subject: "This time I brought back something good from the outside and have especially come over to give it to you."
Speaking, Xiaya took out the two containers containing the Fountain of Youth and handed them over to Xiling and Myers. "Here are two portions of Fountain of Youth, drinking it will extend your lifespan."
"It is so magical?" Taking it, Myers scrutinized the glass container filled with Fountain of Youth in her hand. Under the sunlight, the glass container exuded azure beams of light; It was very beautiful. She unscrewed the lid, drank it all in one gulp and smacked her lips, "It tastes the same as ordinary spring water. There doesn't seem to be anything special about it!"
She concluded with a disgusted expression on her face. Does she think it is delicious food?
"Do you think this is food and want it to have delicious taste… Do you know that what you drank just now, is something Frieza wants to get even in his dreams." Xiaya angrily knocked her on the head.
In the future, what did Frieza attack Planet Namek for? Wasn't it to achieve immortality using dragon balls? If Frieza found out that Myers drank a mouthful of the Fountain of Youth and complained about its taste, he may just run over personally and skin her alive.
Myers stuck her tongue out and immediately dodged to the side.
"This brat…" Xiaya looked at little girl in front of him, who seemed to be around 8 to 9 years old, and couldn't help smiling and shake his head.
The peach blossoms along the bluestone path were in full bloom. In the distance, the clear buy sea connected to the sky, resulting in a beautiful sparkling scenery.
The sea breeze blew gently, carrying moisture within.
"Xiaya, how about we buy a house here?" Xiling suddenly suggested.
Xiaya stopped and looked at her curiously. "Sure, the view here is very good, and it is quite suitable for living. When you were a child, you also suggested building a house here… "
When she was a child, Xiling had also suggested building a house here. However, they had to return to Planet Vegeta, so they couldn't achieve it. Unexpectedly, she still remembered, and Xiaya, of course, agreed to her suggestion. Moreover, it was not far from Master Roshi's residence—The Kame House. So, it was likely that they'd come across something interesting in future.
"Good, good, we'd then be able to eat earth's food more often in future." Myers exclaimed. As she thought of how she could eat earth's food whenever she wants in future, she seemed to become hungry once again.
Is there anyone else like her in the world…
Xiaya laughed, and took out two cards from his pocket, handing them over, "These two are credit cards from Capsule Corporation. If you need to buy or eat anything, you can go ahead and use it!"
His wealth wasn't just average, after all. The Hoi-Poi Capsule industry has already opened its doors in the East Area trading planets, and its daily earnings was an astronomical figure. Of course, Bulma's family has also benefited from it quite considerably. Capsule Corporation's reputation was rapidly becoming a household name in the universe.
But, no one knew that Capsule Corporation had its headquarters on this small planet, earth.
…….
In the quiet afternoon, the sun was not scorching, and cool winds blew past the ears.
Amidst the clouds, Xiaya's figure flashed like a lightning bolt. He swiftly passed by the green mountains and rivers below him. In the blink of an eye, Xiaya had arrived at the Sacred Land of Korin in the northern hemisphere.
After purchasing a mansion in the peninsula city near the coast, Xiaya came to the far-away Sacred Land of Korin by himself — without a care for Xiling and Myers who had became addicted to shopping.
When the Korin Tower, which was connected with heaven and earth, appeared on the horizon, Xiaya accelerated and soared high up into the sky. Leaving behind a long blazing tail, he suddenly did a ninety-degree turn and turned into a black spot—disappearing from the horizon.
On the Korin Tower.
Standing in front of a water jar, Korin looked down at the scenes of the human world. Suddenly, a gust of strong wind blew, and a silhouette appeared in front of it.
"Ahhh, Xiaya, when did you come?" Korin looked at the new arrival and raised its paw to greet him.
It was already immune to Xiaya's method of arriving and departing like a ghost.
"Just arrived on earth not too long ago, I then immediately came up to take a look."
Xiaya smiled faintly and looked around but didn't see Launch. He felt surprised and asked: "where's Launch, how come I don't see her?"
Korin stroked its whiskers and walked over with its cane. It took a fish out of a water jar and ate it. "Launch took the Flying Nimbus and went shopping in the mortal world; she should be returning soon."
Launch, Flying Nimbus!
Two unrelated words popped into his mind. Xiaya was slightly surprised, but then he couldn't help but smile. It was no surprise that a pure-hearted girl like Launch could sit on the Flying Nimbus. In the original work, Launch was brought back by Son Goku and Krillin, precisely riding a Flying Nimbus.
"Oh, by the way, what about blonde-state Launch? Did she tried to run away?" Xiaya asked.
"How could she not have… She always want to run away after some time has passed!" Korin revealed a faint smile.
"But every time blonde Launch secretly escapes, it wouldn't take long before the blue-haired Launch would come back on the Flying Nimbus. She has already escaped more than a few times."
"Ha ha ha!" Xiaya laughed once he heard this.
At this time, the blonde Launch must be blaming her other self; how could the blue-haired Launch be so obedient?! With the Flying Nimbus, the blonde Launch would still came back, no matter how far she runs away.
Xiaya and Korin continued chatting. After some time, they saw the blue-haired Launch come back on the Flying Nimbus, carrying a container of fresh ingredients.
"Ah, Xiaya, when did you come back?!" Upon seeing Xiaya, Launch was happy and jumped down from the Flying Nimbus.
"I just arrived! Oh, oh, not bad. You are much more lively than before!" Xiaya commented upon noticing her cheery disposition and reached out his hand to stroke her blue hair. The 10-year-old Launch seemed delicate and lovely, and she was now almost as tall as Xiaya's shoulder.
"Hmm? Launch's strength is not bad, Battle Power is almost 40!" Xiaya praised.
Normal adult earthling possess Battle Power in a single digit and only a small number of Martial Artists could break through to double digits, i.e. King Chappa, who was regarded as the champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament, had a Battle Power between eighty to ninety. However, Launch had already achieved so much at a young age; it was indeed amazing.
