Chapter 20

April 21, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       At night, Zhan Weiyang once again slept peacefully in Pei Qing’s room. He didn’t know why he liked Pei Qing so much, but he felt comfortable, happy and safe staying with him.

       Pei Qing actually didn’t spend too much time with Zhan Weiyang. When Zhan Weiyang was lying next to Pei Qing, Pei Qing would turn on the desk lamp and read a professional book. The room was very quiet, and the sound of Pei Qing flipping through the book could be heard from time to time.

       Zhan Weiyang’s cell phone made a message notification sound at this time, which was a bit abrupt in the quiet environment. He was afraid of disturbing Pei Qing’s reading, so he quickly turned off the sound on his cell phone.

       The message on the phone was from Chen Youyou. He texted Zhan Weiyang: “I went to see Yu ge tonight. He said he could help us deal with Xie Ling. When do you think would be a suitable time?”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at Pei Qing. Although Pei Qing didn’t pay attention to him, he still pulled up the quilt and covered himself under it, and then sent a message back to Chen Youyou: “Great! How much does it cost?”

       Chen Youyou quickly replied to him: “Yu ge said that he and I are brothers, so no money is needed. Just buy a cigarette for his brothers.”

       Zhan Weiyang was lying on the bed, with only the fluorescent light from the mobile phone screen shining on his face under the quilt, with a happy smile: “Yu ge is nice!”

       Chen Youyou replied: “He’s okay.”

       Zhan Weiyang typed: “How about after school at noon on Saturday?”

       Chen Youyou said: “Should be fine. I’ll give Yu ge a call tomorrow, and whatever time works for his brother is good for us.”

       Zhan Weiyang: “Then I’ll buy cigarettes first? What cigarettes should I buy?”

       Chen Youyou: “Don’t worry, we’ll talk about it after the matter is over.”

       Zhan Weiyang was about to type the word ‘Okay’ when someone suddenly lifted the quilt from his head.

       Pei Qing looked at him and asked, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly turned off the phone screen and turned over to face Pei Qing, “I’m afraid of disturbing you.”

       Pei Qing said, “No, I’m going to sleep.” After saying that, he put the book on the bedside table and reached out to turn off the lamp.

       The room suddenly fell into darkness, and Zhan Weiyang couldn’t see anything. He only heard rustling sounds around him and felt the bed shaking slightly.

       After a while, it became quiet.

       Zhan Weiyang listened quietly in the darkness. He didn’t hear Pei Qing’s breathing for a long time, so he couldn’t help but move closer to him until he heard the shallow breathing and felt a slight warmth in his ear.

       Suddenly a hand was on his face, covering his mouth and nose. He heard Pei Qing say, “What are you doing?”

       Only then did Zhan Weiyang realise that he was too close. If he got any closer, he would touch Pei Qing’s face. He mumbled with his covered mouth, “Let me listen to your breathing.”

       Pei Qing still covered his mouth and said, “Why are you listening to my breathing?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “When I was little, my dad would secretly listen to my breathing, and I would secretly listen to his.” After saying that, Zhan Weiyang felt like he couldn’t breathe, so he turned away and pressed his cheek against Pei Qing’s palm.

       His skin was soft and delicate, slightly cool, like cold white jade, sliding on Pei Qing’s palm.

       Pei Qing should have taken his hand back, but his fingers caressed Zhan Weiyang’s cheek, slid to his ear, rubbed his earlobe, and asked, “Were you sick as a child?”

       Zhan Weiyang shuddered, and his ears and cheeks felt slightly warm. He said in an unclear voice, “Maybe? I can’t remember clearly.”

       He really liked the feeling of Pei Qing touching his face, but Pei Qing moved his hand away, and he reluctantly looked for Pei Qing’s hand in the darkness.

       Pei Qing asked, “Did your father take you to see a doctor?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly shrank back, “I don’t want to go to the doctor.”

       Pei Qing said in a gentle tone, “I won’t take you to see a doctor, don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang lay down on his pillow and said, “Let’s go to sleep.”

       Pei Qing responded, “Okay, good night.”

       Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes, and after five seconds, he heard that ethereal voice say to him, “The relationship status has been negatively increased, and 2 points have been deducted. The user’s score today: 40 points.”

       He immediately opened his eyes, sighed silently, pulled up the quilt and covered his face before continuing to sleep.

       When he went to school the next day, Chen Youyou seemed a little excited.

       It was not convenient to talk in the classroom. After lunch, the two of them squatted in the corner of the school playground and discussed how to stop Xie Ling at noon on Saturday.

       They already knew that Xie Ling would ride his bicycle home after class at noon on Saturday. Chen Youyou opened the map on his mobile phone to see the places he would pass on his way home and plan an ambush location.

       Chen Youyou enlarged the map and fiddled with his phone on the ground. He pointed to a small alley on the map with one hand, pulled up the weeds on the ground with one hand, and said, “T-there are fewer people here.”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at the map, then saw him pulling out weeds and throwing them on the ground, and said, “Don’t pull out the weeds.”

       Chen Youyou was confused, “Why?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “The grass will die.”

       Chen Youyou said, “So what?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t want to argue with Chen Youyou, so he silently picked up a small stone, dug a hole in the ground, and planted the grass that Chen Youyou had pulled back.

       Chen Youyou ignored him and continued, “There is, just one, problem!”

       Zhan Weiyang focused on digging the hole and asked nonchalantly, “What?”

       Chen Youyou raised his head and looked into the distance in distress. There was a basketball court. After lunch, Xie Ling was playing basketball with a few boys. He looked at it for a while and said, “We, can only, follow Xie Ling, after class is over. There is, no guarantee that, we will be able, to catch up with him. We cannot, rush out suddenly, after him. Moreover, what should we do, if the teacher delays, the last class?” He said such a long string of words in one breath, almost suffocating himself to death.

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head and said, “What?”

       Chen Youyou suddenly became angry, stretched out his hand to strangle Zhan Weiyang’s neck and shook him from side to side, “Go to hell!”

       The small stone fell out of Zhan Weiyang’s hand. He raised his hand to grab Chen Youyou’s hand, trying to save himself, and said in panic, “I’m going to die.”

       Chen Youyou let go of his neck, picked up his mobile phone from the ground, stood up, patted the grass clippings on the phone case, and said to Zhan Weiyang, “It’s, already, Friday today. You go, figure out how, to delay Xie Ling’s, time after school tomorrow, and then we, can take action!” He originally wanted to add a cool “Over!” before he finished speaking, but felt that he would just stutter, so he left directly.

       Zhan Weiyang hurriedly buried the last bit of soil, stood up, patted the mud on his hands, and followed Chen Youyou towards the outside of the playground.

       The two of them passed the empty court next to the field where Xie Ling and the others were playing basketball.

       When Zhan Weiyang passed by, Xie Ling’s basketball just rolled over from the ground to his feet.

       A freshman in high school didn’t know Zhan Weiyang, so he shouted to him, “Handsome guy, throw the ball over.”

       Zhan Weiyang picked up the basketball and walked towards them. When he saw the student coming over and reaching out to catch the ball, he had a sudden impulse and swatted the ball forward, passed the person with the ball and made a beautiful shot.

       The ball went in.

       Zhan Weiyang was so happy that he almost jumped up, thinking that he could also play basketball with Pei Qing without Zhan Weiguang.

       When he turned around and saw several people on the field looking at him, including Xie Ling. He suddenly became nervous and said hurriedly, “I’m sorry.” Then he ran away after Chen Youyou.

Notes:
Gotta be honest, Youyou’s stutter makes it kinda hard for me to tl this fast 😂

Chapter 28 – Undercurrent

April 21, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       To Fang Mingyan’s surprise, Zhuo Yue’s camera phobia had improved greatly since the last time. He no longer paid constant attention to the direction of the camera but focused on completing his orders. At the same time, he also noticed that Zhuo Yue no longer stayed with him during his free time. That day when he went upstairs, he found the cage door slightly ajar. Gently pushing it open a crack, he saw the figure in the centre of the room.

       He didn’t know when Zhuo Yue entered or how long he sat there. At that moment, he curled up into a ball, sat on the carpet with his knees in his arms, and whispered repeatedly, “Don’t be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of. I will get better… Just hold on and everything will be fine…”

       He was actually doing special training for himself.

       Fang Mingyan smiled helplessly and did not go in to interrupt. Instead, he stood outside the door and left quietly before Zhuo Yue came out.

       It went on for several days in a row. Whenever Zhuo Yue entered the cage, the man would accompany him silently outside.

       Before anyone knew it, a month had passed. Zhuo Yue showed improvement in his music lessons. He learned to read music and his pitch was much better than before. The person responsible for teaching him music was Zhang Yi, thirty years old, with a decisive and efficient style. After becoming famous in the music industry, she met her current lover. They fell in love and quit the music industry without hesitation to get married and start a life of two. She grew up with Fang Mingyan, sharing a deep understanding and often reminiscing about their childhood adventures with Zhuo Yue in their leisure time.

       “Why is Mr Mingyan afraid of cats?” Zhuo Yue asked.

       “I know about this.” She smiled, “He must have been seven or eight years old at that time. Uncle Fang went to shoot a movie, and he followed him. One spring, he went to the north, and there was a female cat around in the wild fields nearby. He often fed it as it wandered around. The cat became close with him as time goes by, and once took him to its nest, where there were two newborn kittens. That day, the old cat was killed while filming an explosion scene. He was so sad that he went to the litter and took the two kittens back to raise them. The kittens were not even fully furred, and the conditions on the film set were so poor that he couldn’t raise them, and they both died. After that, he never went near the cats again, thinking that she wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t lured the mother cat to the film set by feeding her.”

       “It’s not because of fear, but because of sadness.” Zhuo Yue imagined Fang Mingyan’s guilt and self-blame when he was seven or eight years old, and gently curved the corners of his lips, “Sir has been very gentle since he was a child.”

       “Pfft.” Zhang Yi laughed out loud, “He is very ruthless with other people. Look at the celebrities in Huasheng. They are all showing off their power, but when they see him, they are as quiet as a mouse when it sees a cat. His parents were too dazzling, which put a lot of pressure on him. He left home early when he was a teenager and worked alone in this circle. He stumbled and was subjected to numerous calculations and betrayals. At that time, it seemed like he was surrounded by many friends and allies, but in reality, he found it difficult to accept and trust others. I fear that even a sincere friend could only be counted with two hands. If he is gentle with you, it means that you are important to him.”

       Zhuo Yue pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said, “Many people… think that Sir is very gentle.”

       “You mean those Sub bed partners he has?” Seeing the other party looking at him in surprise, Zhang Yi said with a smile, “I am his childhood friend after all, so of course I know his hobbies. I have also seen a few of his subs. His attitude towards them is not so much gentleness, but rather the demeanor that a dom should have. As for you…” She paused, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes, “After you live here, has he ever called other Subs?”

       Zhuo Yue was stunned, and his face instantly turned red.

       “Gentleness is rare, enjoy it.” Zhang Yi patted his shoulder meaningfully, “Come on, learn to sing this song to him.”

       Zhuo Yue took the score and after seeing the title clearly, he was so embarrassed that he couldn’t even utter a word.

       It was the most popular recent new song— ‘I Would Like to Give You Everything I Have to Repay Your Tenderness’.

 

       At the end of the class, Zhuo Yue accompanied the teacher away and looked up at the wall clock.

       It was forty minutes past ten.

       Fang Mingyan hadn’t come back yet; obviously, he had some social engagement. The room seemed empty. Zhuo Yue read for a while and did some cleaning. He sat on the sofa and watched an extremely boring football match on TV. Both sides were overly defensive. After halftime, the score was still the same. When the hour hand passed twelve o’clock, he went upstairs, had his bath, and then lay down on the rug beside his bed.

       He couldn’t sleep for a long time. After tossing and turning many times, he climbed onto the big bed and lay down. There seemed to be the man’s breath lingering on it, which made him feel at ease in the dark night, and he fell asleep in a short while. He slept lightly and woke up when there was a slight noise in the room. However, before he could get up, he felt the bed move and a tall body covered the top.

       In the darkness, Fang Mingyan was like a lion trapping his prey under his body. There was an unpredictable depth in his bright eyes.

       “Master.” Zhuo Yue called softly.

       “Climbing into bed while the master is away.” The man narrowed his eyes slightly, “Who taught you this?”

       “Master, I… um─” Before he could admit his mistake, Zhuo Yue felt his feet and ankles being grabbed and then forcefully pulled away. The strong body pressed down, and the strong smell of alcohol came towards him. Fang Mingyan’s slightly hoarse voice was tinged with undercurrents of lust, “Slave, you are seducing me.”

       The warm and drunken breath blew in Zhuo Yue’s ears, causing a slight shiver to appear all over his body. He tilted his head impatiently, and the hand that lightly reached under his body gave a punishing pinch to his sac, causing him to gasp. Then the man rolled his earlobe into his mouth with his wet and hot tongue, ground it gently with the tips of his teeth, and then slowly licked his earlobe in a playful manner. Zhuo Yue, who was already sensitive, completely lost control under such stimulation, and his breathing easily lost its rhythm.

       A slightly rough kiss went down the side of his neck, stopping at the bulge on his chest, sucking, licking and biting, teasing him in every possible way. The painful and numb feeling spread throughout his body like an electric shock. Zhuo Yue could no longer bear it and trembled and moaned, “Ah─ Master…”

       This moan contained the shyness of a virgin, but it was also tainted with lust. It was like a catalyst, filling the whole room with an ambiguous and lustful atmosphere.

       “Have you taken a shower? You smell good.” Fang Mingyan sniffed Zhuo Yue’s skin like a giant cat, greedily ingesting the faint aroma of the shower gel on his skin, slowly going down his chest, licking the flat belly of the person under him.

       “I-I did…” This short answer made Zhuo Yue use up all his strength, and the aroused passion was fully awakened. He tensed his body, and his hands tightly grasped the clothes under him as if looking for support from the sheet underneath him.

       The man spread his knees further, completely exposing the most private area between his legs, and then gave the order, “Keep this position, don’t move.”

       When the lights gradually brightened, Zhuo Yue trembled with shame. At this moment, he spread his legs wide, like a shameless sex slave, waiting for the other man to violate him.

       However, the other party did not make a move for a long time. He just held his bent knees and looked at the scenery between his legs with interest. That gaze seemed to carry a scorching temperature, burning every inch of skin it touched. In this posture, the changes in the body cannot be hidden at all. The sleeping genitals between the legs wake up little by little, facing the viewer with a high-spirited attitude.

       A low laugh lingered in his ears, and Fang Mingyan’s curved eyebrows were full of ambiguity, “Just looking at it makes you so excited. If so…” Without finishing the second half of the sentence, he leaned closer and moved toward the erect c0ck and blew lightly.

       The hot breath blew on the sensitive area, teasing Zhuo Yue’s already uncontrollable desire. The genitals showed a more stretched posture, and its owner gasped and made a pleading voice, “Master, hng… please…”

       “What are you asking me to do?” The man didn’t touch the poor little thing with his hands but kept blowing on it.

       “Please…please, it feels so uncomfortable…” Zhuo Yue was lifted up into the air by the wave of desire and stuck, unable to release or escape. His mind was muddled as if it had been stirred up. His eyes were already watery and wet, adding a bit of sultry aura. He didn’t dare to move, so he kept asking his master for help.

       “Slave, you should beg me to satisfy you.” Fang Mingyan continued to tease the sensitive little brother in a playful manner.

       Zhuo Yue had almost lost the ability to think, and the remaining shame was covered up by desire. He repeated with a crying voice, “Please, please satisfy me…”

       “You’re very good, I’ll give you a reward.” The man held down his thigh, lowered his head, and slowly licked the top of the high-spirited c0ck. The hot and moist friction of his tongue with a slightly rough texture caused the top of the c0ck to ooze out transparent liquid instantly. Zhuo Yue, who was about to lose control, gasped and begged for mercy, “Master… Don’t, ugh, I can’t bear it…” He curled up his toes, his naked body became reddish, and his chest heaved violently.

       However, it was not over yet. When Fang Mingyan opened his mouth to hold the tip of his c0ck, Zhuo Yue, who could no longer bear the stimulation, raised his neck, arched his body like a fish on the verge of suffocation, and ejaculated tremblingly. The sound of crying echoed in the room, full of obscene meaning.

       When Zhuo Yue gradually sobered up from his climax and realised what had just happened, he was ashamed and frightened and said stiffly, “I was wrong, Master, I didn’t mean it… I couldn’t control it just now…”

       He surrendered too quickly just now. Before the man could completely avoid it, a lot of white liquid was splashed on one side of his face. He wiped it off with his fingers, then hung his semen-stained fingers above Zhuo Yue’s mouth and gave a brief command, “Lick it clean.”

       Zhuo Yue blushed and timidly stuck out his tongue, half-closed his eyes, and raised his head to lick the man’s fingers. The hand hovering above slowly went up, and he had to slowly support his body. At this moment, he was like a hungry little animal, following the food and being lured to an unknown place.

       After he sat up completely, Fang Mingyan inserted his index finger into his mouth and played with his innocent lips. However, the finger deep into the base of the tongue soon caused Zhuo Yue to react violently and continuously retching.

       “I’m sorry…Master.” After he calmed down, he apologised in frustration.

       The man knew very well that he had this reaction because he had been forced to give oral sex to others before, so he took out his fingers, raised his eyebrows and said, “If the upper part doesn’t work, I have to use the lower part.”

       Zhuo Yue was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was pushed down again and then turned over into a sprawling position. The cold lubricating fluid dripped from high places and flowed down along the seam of the buttocks, soaking the tight areas and soaking them. He lay tightly on the bed and called out uneasily, “Master…?”

       “It’s your turn to satisfy me, slave.” The man’s slender fingers penetrated between the legs, spreading the butt crack, completely exposing the hidden hole. The lubricating fluid warmed by the body slowly flowed through the pale rose-coloured tender meat at the entrance of the tight hole. Every subtle feeling was amplified, and the itchy and greasy feeling made Zhuo Yue unable to help but tremble all over. There was a sound of fabric scraping behind him, and then some clothes were thrown under the bed. One hand held his lower back, and the other hand reached down between his legs, gently and sometimes heavily kneading the sac that was soaked in lubricant. The pain and pleasure were intertwined, causing the genitals that had just ejaculated to stand up again.

       Fang Mingyan pulled a pillow and put it under his waist and abdomen. As if it was not enough, he put another pillow down, forcing him to raise his hips. Then, the strong body pressed down, and the lower bodies fit together more closely. The thick and hot hard object rubbed back and forth slowly in the slit moistened with lubricant. It touched the hole several times and then slowly moved away—each time it made Zhuo Yue tremble.

       Although he had not experienced it in reality, he vaguely knew what would happen next. The obscene gold chain man had done something similar to him before. During that indecent assault, the other party used his fingers and a vibrator to forcefully open his back hole, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, in the end, his lower body was not seriously injured. Later, he went to check some relevant information and understood the way men have sex. Because the back point was not a natural place for sexual intercourse, it couldn’t loosen and secrete body fluids on its own, so it must be lubricated and expanded, otherwise, the recipient would be easily injured.

       However, at this moment, the man had no intention of expanding for him. Zhuo Yue could roughly feel how big he was just by touch. If he forced his way in with such a size… He felt scared, but he didn’t make any resistance. He just tensed his body, bit his lower lip and lay silently, letting the other party control everything. When the scorching huge thing pressed against the hole again and tried to invade with a little force, he trembled and clutched the sheets tightly and closed his eyes.

       The expected tearing pain did not come. The man above him stopped moving, put his palms on his trembling body, and said, “Why don’t you reject me if you are afraid of this?”

       Zhuo Yue’s eyes were a little wet, “I have no right to refuse you…”

       “You have been very obedient today. Aren’t you afraid that I might hurt you if I drink too much?”

       He remained silent for a while and then said softly, “You said you wouldn’t let me get hurt.”

       The determination in that tone made Fang Mingyan pause slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes. He patted Zhuo Yue’s side buttocks and ordered, “Lift your buttocks and tighten your legs.”

       Zhuo Yue complied without knowing why. Immediately afterwards, the slightly ferocious c0ck was inserted from behind along the base of his thigh, thrusting back and forth into the perineum area between his legs, mimicking intercourse. Every invasion would rub against Zhuo Yue’s sac, stirring the slippery liquid and making an ambiguous sound that made people blush.

       This intercourse position simulated real sexual intercourse without actually entering the back hole. Zhuo Yue was trembling from the powerful impact of the man again and again. There was a wet patch between his legs, and the front end of his c0ck was constantly rubbing against the pillow, arousing pleasure.

       He couldn’t see himself, nor could he see Fang Mingyan behind him, but he could completely imagine the current situation.

       He raised his buttocks high and allowed the other man to continue to invade his legs. But he shamefully got pleasure from such a violation and kept craving for more. This kind of imagination made the stimulation more fierce, and he called out tremblingly, “Master… Uhn…”

       The man behind him lifted up his waist and forced him into a kneeling position. His deep voice was husky with lust, “Clamp your legs.” Before he could kneel down firmly, he thrust his c0ck roughly into the between legs again, at the same time, the emptied c0ck in front of Zhuo Yue was also held in Fang Mingyan’s hand and started to move with the frequency of thrusting.

       The excessive stimulation almost caused Zhuo Yue to collapse, and the short moans, one after another, were like aphrodisiacs, intensifying the man’s movements.

       “Master…ahhh──” He wanted to cum but was restrained by the sudden tightening of the man’s palms, causing him to arch his back unbearably.

       “This is your punishment for ejaculating without permission just now.” Fang Mingyan held the base of his c0ck and breathed slightly, “I’m going to train your tolerance today.”

       “Please… no, I can’t bear it anymore…” Before he could finish his words, he received a slap on his ass. The sudden pain soon merged with the wave of desire, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Zhuo Yue’s eyes were full of mist, and he couldn’t help but gasp, “Master, I was wrong… Ah, please forgive me…”

       “Hold it yourself.” The man said solemnly, “If you cum before I give you permission, I will tie you up, fill you with toys and throw you into the cage.”

       Hearing this command, Zhuo Yue almost cried. He did not dare to disobey his master, so he could only hold the base of his erect c0ck tightly and endure the climax that was about to come.

       When Fang Mingyan gave him permission, he cried and ejaculated, then fell limply on the bed. All the man’s semen ejaculated between Zhuo Yue’s buttocks. His lower body was dripping with liquids and he didn’t even have the strength to stand up. Fang Mingyan held him in his arms and helped him took a bath. He fell asleep halfway through. When he woke up the next day, he found himself on the bed in the guest room, with the man’s peaceful sleeping face next to him.

Chapter 53 – To Start a Prairie Fire (2)

April 19, 2024 / / 1 Comment

       “It’s genetic evolution.” Chris couldn’t help but be excited as he looked at what was recorded in Chen Xiao’s video. He wore dimensional glasses and could clearly see Moschery’s spiritual link, “Early on, the fusion rate of His Majesty’s genes with the genes of the first-generation god-level Sentinel was less than 90%. As a result, there was never enough capability to fully present His Majesty’s spiritual link in the dimensional space. If the sentinels and guide were not on the same level, they couldn’t see His Majesty’s dragon.”

       Tristana suddenly realised, “So what’s happening now is that His Majesty’s genes have evolved?”

       Chris nodded, “I think so. He has become stronger and more adapted to the god-level sentinel’s genes… To be precise, he is almost the same as the original god-level sentinel.”

       Qin Yun did not speak. He stared at the picture in the video with a calm expression. Chen Xiao glanced at him, “Now that we have lost contact with His Majesty, what should we do next?”

       “How is Olympus’ defence?” Qin Yun asked.

       Tristana said, “There are three times more troops than before, but they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack. I don’t know why.”

       Qin Yun squinted his eyes. He was quiet for a while and suddenly said, “They haven’t caught Xi Zhao yet, so they don’t dare to act rashly.”

       Chen Xiao and Tristana’s faces showed joy. Sentinel and guide, who had marked each other, had a close spiritual connection. No one would doubt what Qin Yun said.

       “Notify Arthur and Lin Dongliang to arrive as soon as possible.” Qin Yun straightened up and carefully closed the communication device, with a cold and sharp expression on his face, “Assemble all the ships in five minutes. I have something to say.”

 

       While Breaux was leading the search for the Emperor, Kyle was still in the laboratory trying to open the sealed tube in Helu’s body. He spent almost a month just doing this, and his expression was far from pleasant.

       “Not captured yet?” Kyle rubbed his eyebrows. He looked extremely tired, “If this sealed tube cannot be opened again, the only way to obtain the god-level sentinel gene is from the Emperor.”

       Breaux didn’t take it seriously, “There’s no way he can escape, it’s possible that he’ll die directly from such intense artillery fire. The Empire is now leaderless, so there is no need to worry at all.”

       Kyle was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, “Do you still remember the guide who married the Emperor?”

       “That ordinary person?” Breaux frowned, “He’s not even a low-level guide. He’s just a trash.”

       Kyle glanced at the other person, and he hesitated, “He looks very similar to me, and…my mental power is of no use to him.”

       “…” Breaux didn’t believe it, “How is that possible?!”

       “It’s true.” Kyle’s expression was unpleasant, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, “I can’t control him. My mental power doesn’t work at all… Who is he?!”

 

       Bixi turned to look at Moschery. They had just crawled out of the almost completely scrapped aircraft half an hour ago. His Majesty the Emperor still had metal fragments stuck in half of his arms. He pulled them out to stop the bleeding and disinfected the wound. He then administered himself a tetanus shot with an expressionlessly.

       “…” Bixi was well protected by him, unscathed, and all the medical supplies in her backpack were given to Moschery.

       “We have to find another aircraft.” Moschery shook his arm. The higher the level, the stronger the Sentinel’s recovery ability. He pulled out Dragon Scales on his back, “Let’s determine Helu’s position first.”

       Bixi sighed, “I was too willful, and I dragged you down.”

       Moschery lowered his head and looked at Bixi with a gentle look in his eyes, “Little Bixi.” He said, “You are also my mother. I am very grateful for your kindness to Helu… my father.”

       Bixi blinked. She was a little surprised. Gradually, a lonely smile appeared on her face, “My relationship with His Majesty Helu is not what you think. We…haven’t even had a proper conversation about anything.”

       Moschery looked at her.

       Bixi squatted on the ground, lowering her head as if she were lost in memories, “I had not graduated when he first ascended the throne, and Averio Academy arranged for me to intern in the royal family. We rarely spoke, and we had no time to be alone together. We seldom spoke, and there was no time for us to be alone together. Most of the conversations in our group revolved around work and studies… He was a gentle person.” Bixi was quiet for a while and said slowly, “He is my most precious longing.”

       Moschery’s eyes moved to her long silver hair, and Bixi followed his gaze and smiled, “This belongs to your father.” She blushed a little and said awkwardly, “After he passed away, I was worried that the Cabinet might opt for cremation. After all, with you around, to ensure the uniqueness of the god-level, such a situation wasn’t entirely impossible.”

       Moschery was silent. Helu’s body was originally planned to be cremated, but Berlin changed her mind in the end. His father’s death was not peaceful; the backlash from his mania was more severe than anticipated. When Helu took his last breath, his entire body was covered in wounds he had inflicted on himself. His expression was grotesque, and he died with his eyes wide open.

       At that time, no one had the energy to deal with the old emperor’s body. The Cabinet threw the body casually in the palace and did not send anyone to collect it until the next day.

       But strangely enough, someone had already sorted it out first.

       Helu’s wounds were properly treated, and his eyes were closed. His expression was as serene as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep. He was wearing the uniform of the supreme commander, just like any noble emperor who died naturally.

       “I arranged his remains with my own hands and cut off his hair to keep for myself.” Bixi looked at Moschery with a sad smile, “How could I let him die in such a disgrace? He is the person I love.”

 

       It was impossible to hide the news of the Emperor’s disappearance, which was why Qin Yun summoned the ships. He could not waver the morale of the army when Moschery was away. Even if Moschery was really killed, he had to defend the entire Empire for him.

       “Most of His Majesty’s current troops consists of those purged from the Cabinet and are not easy to control.” Tristana worriedly watched Qin Yun put on the commander’s uniform, “Are you alright with that?”

       Qin Yun unfolded the black cloak and hung it on his shoulders, “Whether there are issues or not, they must be resolved. We can’t afford any disturbances at this critical moment.”

       Tristana looked at the other party with a complicated expression. Qin Yun had already put on the white commander’s uniform, and the hem of the thick black cloak almost hung to the ground. His eyes were bright and resolute.

       “I will use my life and dignity to defend what he holds dear.” Qin Yun said seriously. He smiled at Tristana, “So I have nothing to fear.”

 

       Moschery patiently hid in the darkness. Two single patrols passed by. He sneaked over silently, and the sharp tip of the Dragon Scale sword pierced the other’s throat.

       The whites of Bixi’s eyes turned a light silvery grey. Moschery looked down at the other Sentinel lying on the ground and found that the other Sentinel had gone silent.

       The two of them changed their clothes respectively, and Bixi asked Moschery while tying her hair carefully, “Little Rainbow Dash is alone over there. Aren’t you worried?”

       “I believe him.” Moschery said calmly, “I once said that I would give him half of the sovereignty of this country. A man must do what he says. He and I have equal status. If I am not here, he has the right to make any decision for me.”

       Bixi was amused by his statement that ‘a man must do what he says’. She shook her head and sighed, “You really.”

       Moschery didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said. In his heart, even if Qin Yun had always been a low-level guide, he was still the best, brave, fearless, kind and strong.

       “It’s great for Little Rainbow Dash to meet you.” Bixi said with a smile. She led the way, feeling a little unfamiliar because she hadn’t been back for a long time, “He never asked me whose child he was…” She glanced at Moschery slyly, “Aren’t you curious too?”

       Moschery’s expression was calm, “I don’t mind if he is a clone.”

       Bixi couldn’t laugh or cry, “Of course he is not a clone.”

       Moschery raised his eyebrows, “Yeah, I know.”

       Bixi had no way to deal with his blind self-confidence. She said helplessly, “Qin Yun’s father was a descendant of the first generation of god-level guides, but he did not inherit the guide gene. I came to Olympus 30 years ago for the same reason—to keep an eye on him.”

       Moschery listened carefully, and Bixi continued, “In the early years, Olympus was not the deformed system it is today. Even if it collects genetic samples from god-level guides, at least people are still free. Olympus wants to try to cultivate the guide the same way they cultivated Sentinel, but they never succeed until one day they discover that the man is missing.”

       “He fell in love with a guide girl who checked his health every day. She became pregnant, and the two decided to elope.” Bixi sounded like she was talking about something unimportant, “But they couldn’t escape at all. In order to protect his wife, the father willingly went back to continue being a guinea pig. I kept the girl’s pregnancy a secret and helped her give birth to Little Rainbow Dash.”

       Bixi sighed, “Miracles and hope often come by accident.” Her expression was heavy, “We took little Rainbow Dash secretly to see his father, who has been completely imprisoned by Olympus. I don’t think anyone can bear the thought of his partner being tortured day and night as a test subject… She chose to die together with him.”

       “I adopted Little Rainbow Dash and promised his parents that I would treat him like my own son.” Bixi said gently, “Most of the laboratories in Olympus were destroyed. I took Little Rainbow Dash back to the Empire. Helu helped a lot to protect this child. Then he suddenly decided to create the first-generation god-level Sentinel, and that’s how you came into being.”

       “I didn’t understand why he did that at the time.” Bixi said slowly, “But now I seem to understand a little bit.”

       Moschery’s expression finally changed. It was a mixture of confusion, elation, emotional and shock.

       Bixi looked at him as if she were looking at a beloved child. She whispered, “He gave you hope, believing that you would finally find the one who has been waiting for you in this world.”

 

       “And then be together for the rest of your life, with no regrets.”

The author has something to say:
Countdown to the end. I’m a little excited just thinking about it!

Notes:
…This is too unexpected… I’m crying (T⌓T)
Also, there’s something I want to clarify since early chapter but can’t coz it’s simply a spoiler. In the manhua, they showed that apparently Qin Yun’s gene was stolen by some spy from Cabinet’s side, but it seems like the gene was not stolen at all; Olympus has Qin Yun’s genes from the start.
After seeing the barrage in the audio drama I just realised that it’s true… In a sense… Qin Yun is older than His Majesty, lololol

Chapter 51 – Killing the Devil

April 18, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       The Gilded Phoenix Wings in Xia Hongshen’s hands were trembling slightly and making a buzzing sound. Xia Hongshen knew that it could no longer bear the demonic energy, and he was afraid that it would be eroded by the demonic energy.

       Long Xing and Xi Anling still hadn’t arrived yet. Xia Hongshen didn’t want to actually leave the Gilded Phoenix Wings in Mei Ling’s hand, so he held the Gilded Phoenix Wings horizontally, turned him into the size of a golden hairpin in his hand and put it back in his pocket.

       Mei Ling hadn’t taken the opportunity to kill everyone yet, and the demonic energy in her body became stronger and stronger. She asked with a sneer, “You don’t even have a weapon. How can you fight with me?”

       Xia Hongshen responded calmly, “Aren’t you afraid that the demonic energy will erode your sanity?”

       “Not afraid,” Mei Ling said, “because before that, I can subdue you first.”

       “Subdue me?” Xia Hongshen suddenly asked her, “Mei Ling, what do you want?”

       Mei Ling looked at Xia Hongshen and said coldly, “I want no one in heaven and earth to disobey me.”

       Xia Hongshen slowly shook her head, “Delusional.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, along the river, a sudden burst of cyan light illuminated half of the sky. Accompanying the cyan light was the sound of swords that followed each other, gradually becoming longer and shorter.

       Mei Ling turned her head to look at the light with doubt on her face.

       Xia Hongshen, however, similarly looked in that direction, and then a smile appeared on his face. Mei Ling had never seen Xia Hongshen smile like that, with a soft smile on his brows and eyes.

       “Chunjun,” Xia Hongshen called in a deep voice.

       Immediately after, a radiant light shot toward them like a released arrow. It forcefully pushed Mei Ling back a few steps with its sword energy, falling into Xia Hongshen’s hands. The blossoming cyan light gradually receded, leaving only a sharp-edged bronze sword.

       Xia Hongshen lifted Chunjun and slowly stroked Chunjun’s bronze sword body with his fingers. As if feeling his touch, Chunjun’s sword trembled continuously and made a sword cry, responding to Xia Hongshen’s previous call.

       Xia Hongshen held the hilt of the sword with both hands, pointed at Mei Ling and said, “Can you hear Chunjun’s excited cry? He hadn’t seen blood for a long time. Even if it’s a monster, he can’t hold it back.”

       When he finished speaking, Xia Hongshen raised Chunjun and struck lightly with his sword. Mei Ling suddenly felt the sword energy pressing against her face. Even though she held up Shining Snow to block it, she still took a few steps back before she could stand still. At the same time, to resist the impact, more magic flowed into her body.

       The blade of Shining Snow’s sword was slender, while the bronze sword was inherently heavy. When the Shining Snow hit Chunjun, it suddenly felt strenuous. It was only because Mei Ling constantly had to replenish it with magic power that it could maintain the Shining Snow to be undefeated.

       The Chunjun sword in Xia Hongshen’s hand had a warm and mellow glow, and the sword energy was full of spiritual power. It was better than the Gilded Phoenix Wings. In just a few confrontations, Shining Snow’s magic power was completely suppressed.

       Mei Ling gathered more and more magic power; she suddenly felt her consciousness dispersing. She realised that she was about to be controlled by the demonic energy; perhaps she would already be consumed by it before she could subdue Xia Hongshen.

       In her plan, Chunjun should not have been there. Chunjun was obviously trapped at Cen Le’s place.

       Mei Ling began to hesitate, and her sword moves became a little messy.

       Xia Hongshen knocked Shining Snow away with her sword, but he was not in a hurry to pursue her. He said to Mei Ling, “You want to be the only one in the world. Where will you put your father?”

       Mei Ling said, “Has he ever treated me sincerely? All he cares about is his position!”

       “Ridiculous!” Xia Hongshen rebuked. Chunjun gathered huge spiritual power and slid down tightly against Shining Snow. With a backhand move, Chunjun actually knocked Shining Snow out of Mei Ling’s hand.

       Shining Snow penetrated into the ground and trembled endlessly.

       Xia Hongshen said, “This sword can’t withstand the magic power.”

       Just hearing his assertion, Shining Snow instantly fell apart and turned into tiny crystal fragments.

       Xia Hongshen said: “Shining Snow is a divine weapon. If you infuse it with magic power, it will be unable to bear it sooner or later. Besides, all things have their own spirit. As the master, do you know Shining Snow’s intentions? Is it willing to follow you into the demonic path?”

       Mei Ling looked at the Shining Snow fragments and was stunned for a moment.

       “There’s no need to listen to him talk too much,” however, at that moment, they heard a voice at the same time, and that voice said, “Return Chunjun to me.”

       Immediately afterwards, Cen Le appeared behind Mei Ling. He supported Princess Mei Ling with one hand and said softly, “Princess, please let me come and serve you.”

       Mei Ling raised her hand, and pieces of Shining Snow flew into her palm one after another. She made a fist and put it in her chest.

       Xia Hongshen looked at Cen Le, “Who are you?”

       At this time, Chunjun trembled slightly, and Xia Hongshen heard Chunjun’s voice ringing in her ears and said, “This man is the City God. His name is Cen Le, and he is also the owner of the Demon Market.”

       “City God?” Xia Hongshen said, “You’re the one who stole from me?”

       Cen Le smiled when he heard this, “Why did Lord Immortal say this? Chunjun was originally my sword. In the past, you destroyed my seal and stole Chunjun. It’s time for you to return Chunjun to me.”

       Xia Hongshen’s expression did not change. He lightly stroked the Chunjun sword with his fingers and said, “If you can’t keep it, doesn’t it belong to me? Give it back to you? What a joke.”

       Cen Le responded calmly, “I guessed you wouldn’t willingly return it, so for something that was stolen, I’ll personally retrieve it.”

       Xia Hongshen sneered. He raised Chunjun, pointed it at Cen Le, and said, “Did you hear him answer you?”

       Xia Hongshen said to Cen Le, “Did you hear him answer you?”

       Cen Le said, “Hm?”

       Xia Hongshen raised his sword and struck at Cen Le, “He said you are delusional!”

       Cen Le retreated repeatedly, and Xia Hongshen waved his Chunjun, slashing with the powerful sword energy.

       At this time, Cen Le raised his hand and surrounded Xia Hongshen with many beasts emitting demonic energy from all directions.

       Xia Hongshen turned his wrist and instantly cut the surrounding beasts with Chunjun’s sword energy.

       “It’s useless,” said Cen Le, and he retreated to the surface of the river. “You can’t kill all the demonic beasts irrigated by demonic energy even with all your strength.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “That’s right, so I only need to kill one of you.”

       Cen Le saw Xia Hongshen disregarding the attacks of the demonic beasts and swung Chunjun towards him. Simultaneously, he used the demonic beasts as a shield in front of him and urged them to attack Xia Hongshen from behind. He said, “Do you want to perish together with me?”

       But as soon as he finished asking, the beast that pounced on Xia Hongshen’s back was wrapped around the neck by a silver whip, dragged away, and hit the ground hard.

       Xi Anling held the dragon tip whip in her hand and protected Xia Hongshen behind him. At the same time, she called out in surprise, “Chunjun?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Stop them!” Then he held Chunjun tightly and chased Cen Le across the river.

       Cen Le waved his hand and summoned a spear to block Chunjun’s attack. At the same time, the demonic beasts appeared one after another and stepped forward to block Xia Hongshen’s attack and bite Xia Hongshen at the same time.

       Xi Anling used his Dragon Tip Whip to block them one by one, preventing the beasts from getting closer to Xia Hongshen.

       Soon, a large number of City God Temple guards came chasing from the river.

       Cen Le shouted, “Take him down for me!”

       But before they could take action, The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division also shouted loudly, “Don’t do anything!”

       Cen Le and the demonic beasts he bred were both equally full of demonic aura.

       Now, the whole city was overflowing with evil spirits, and it was sealed by the heavenly realm, leaving no way in or out. Originally, the City God should have made the decision in everything, but now the City God had fallen into his own selfish desires, disregarding the safety of the entire city.

       In the dark night sky, lightning and thunder continued. Whenever a demonic beast emerged from the gap, lightning would fall to block it. However, Jade Emperor seemed to be hesitant to make up his mind on what to do with the city, so he could only seal it first to prevent anyone from entering or exiting.

       The guards of the City God’s Temple should not have obeyed the orders of The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division and ignored the orders of the City God. But then, the judge, Black Bai Wuchang and others came one after another. Now that everyone saw this situation, they all felt that it was unusual.

       The judge stepped forward and said, “Lord City God! Please put the safety of the city first and stop now!”

       Cen Le naturally shouldn’t do it.

       Xia Hongshen said loudly, “You City God is the mastermind colluding with the demonic realm. It’s best for you to sever ties with them quickly. When the time for reckoning comes, don’t let yourselves be implicated by them!”

       The City God’s group of guards suddenly didn’t know what to do. They are just a group of small officials in the underworld, and they definitely didn’t dare to go against the underworld for the City God’s sake, let alone the heaven.

       Black Bai Wuchang stood beside the magistrate and The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division and asked, “What should I do?”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division said, “Be calm and don’t be impatient. Send someone quickly to inform the underworld. The underworld will make the decision.”

       Everyone here was hesitant, but Xia Hongshen slashed hard with Chunjun in his hand. The river immediately split into two halves, and water mist splashed everywhere.

       Cen Le gradually lost the ability to fight back, and he laughed wildly, “As long as the demonic energy here remains, you will never be able to defeat me! I am different from Mei Ling. I am not afraid of becoming a demon. As long as I can get Chunjun back, what does it matter if I become a demon?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Oh? You don’t think that I have a way to get rid of the devil?”

       Cen Le looked at him, “Even the Heavenly Lords remain indifferent. What can you do on your own?”

       Xia Hongshen raised his head, looked at the dark sky above his head, and said, “If He doesn’t want to take action, I will just force him to take action.”

       After saying this, Xia Hongshen held Chunjun tightly, jumped up high, and flew straight into the clouds.

       Cen Le was stunned for a moment. He saw Xia Hongshen lifting Chunjun above his head, gathering all his spiritual power, and slashing down into the void. He suddenly realised that Xia Hongshen was actually trying to use Chunjun’s power to split the boundary the Jade Emperor had left behind.

       Lightning flashed all of a sudden, and the whole city was illuminated like daylight. A gap was opened in Jade Emperor’s seal, and strong winds swept through it. Even the river in the city centre was churning as if an earthquake had shaken the mountains and floods had erupted.

       Yun Po still had time to send a text message to Xia Hongshen, saying, “Thank you!”

       It was a pity that even Xi Anling couldn’t take the time to reply to him.

       Yun Po led hundreds of monks from the temple into the city, chanting Buddhist mantras and washing away the evil spirits.

       Once the seal was broken, the Heavenly realm could no longer sit back and let the evil spread.

       At this time, if an ordinary person looked into the sky from the window, they would notice that besides the lightning and thunder, there were lights flashing in the sky and then falling to the ground, but they couldn’t see clearly what they were.

       That was when a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals descended from the heavenly realm. While sealing the gaps in the demon world, they wanted to capture Mei Ling and Cen Le back to the heavenly realm.

       Seeing Cen Le being surrounded by the heavenly generals, and the demonic beast being expelled by the heavenly generals, Xia Hongshen stood still and loosened the hand that had been holding Chunjun tightly.

       Song Jun appeared next to him and called, “Master.”

       Xia Hongshen turned to look at him and said, “Do you remember?”

       Song Jun nodded slightly.

       Xia Hongshen said, “You should call me Senior Brother; I’m used to hearing it.”

       Song Jun heard this and responded, “Okay, Senior Brother Xia.”

       Xia Hongshen hugged Song Jun a little tiredly, rested his head on his shoulder, and rubbed it for a while.

       Song Jun lowered his gaze but couldn’t help but blush slightly on his cheeks.

       At this time, a heavenly general came over and saluted, “Lord Immortal, Jade Emperor asks you to go back and see him.”

       Xia Hongshen responded, “Wait a moment, I will go back with you.”

       He handed the Gilded Phoenix Wings to Long Xing and Xi Anling, who came later and went to Yun Po himself to explain the situation of the city to him.

       “You’re going back to the Heavenly Realm?” Yun Po asked.

       Xia Hongshen nodded, “Although the Heavenly General is sealing the gaps in the demon world, there is still a lot of demonic energy remaining in the city, so I have to trouble you.”

       Yun Po looked at him and suddenly sighed, “You old monster, after living in the mortal realm for so long, have you developed feelings for humans?”

       Hearing this, Xia Hongshen raised his head, looked at the sky and said, “The human world is originally a place where humans and monsters coexist. It’s a pity that the heavens don’t cherish it, but I still do.”

       Yun Po also felt a little emotional for a moment, nodded, and then said, “Okay, leave it to me, but you should settle the bill with me before you leave.”

       Xia Hongshen patted him on the shoulder and said, “Go ahead and write it down. I’ll pay it back when I have the money.”

       Yun Po suddenly said angrily, “When will you have money?”

       Xia Hongshen smiled and said nothing, waved to Yun Po, and turned back to Song Jun and the others.

       However, Cen Le was besieged by the heavenly generals and wanted to fight to the death. He gathered a large amount of magic power around him and wanted to use the magic power to kill the heavenly generals. Seeing this from a distance, Song Jun gathered his sword energy and slashed at the magic power around Cen Le, scattering the magic power so that he could not gather it.

       Cen Le stopped and looked at Song Jun, “Do you really not care about our old friendship at all?”

       Song Jun said to Cen Le, “I have completely forgotten what you looked like in the past. So what friendship is there?”

       Cen Le closed his eyes, allowing the Heavenly General’s large blade to rest against his neck. He sighed and said, “Back then, I should have taken you away. As long as you don’t recover your memories, you won’t be like this again today.”

       Song Jun asked, “You are the one who locked my soul in the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda?”

       Cen Le didn’t say anything and just sighed.

       Song Jun said softly, “Even if I don’t recover my memory, I won’t leave with you.” He pointed to his chest, “I’m not a cold weapon. I have a soul.”

       Princess Mei Ling still held the pieces of Shining Snow in her hand, and when the generals attacked her, she said, “Don’t come near me. I’ll go back with you.”

       She looked in the direction of Xia Hongshen from a distance and thought, in the end, she had underestimated him.

       Mei Ling and Cen Le were escorted back to the heavenly realm. The two heavenly generals were still waiting for Xia Hongshen, asking him to return with them.

       When Xia Hongshen returned, Long Xing and Song Jun were checking Feng Junyuan’s injury. He squatted down, looked at Feng Junyuan lying in Long Xing’s arms, and asked, “Are you okay?”

       Feng Junyuan shook his head.

       Song Jun said, “Demonic energy seeping in, but it’s nothing serious.”

       Xia Hongshen reached out and touched Feng Junyuan’s head and then said, “Come back to the heavenly realm with me, and I will find someone to help you remove the demonic energy.”

       Feng Junyuan nodded and turned into a small golden hairpin in Xia Hongshen’s hands, which he put into his pocket.

       Song Jun stood up, following Xia Hongshen, and asked, “Are you going to go back?”

       From the bottom of his heart, Song Jun was not too willing to return to that place.

       Chunjun in the previous life and Song Jun in this life were actually more like two people regardless of personality and experience. But once they were merged together, the one who had the upper hand was the life and memory that had lasted for thousands of years.

       And Song Jun couldn’t help but panic sometimes. He felt that the current Song Jun would be completely swallowed up.

       However, didn’t the fact that he still felt panic indicates that Song Jun was still present? This short experience of more than 20 years has shaken him despite his millennia-long lifespan.

The author has something to say:
Later comes the eagerly anticipated sweet and silly moments. I wonder if writing about a cat rubbing against a sword would be considered off-limits. Does a sword have a neck?

Chapter 52 – To Start a Prairie Fire (1)

April 16, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       After half a year, Eta Star once again became the premiere battleground between the Empire and Olympus. The previous devastation was still there, and the two armies faced each other at the border. Arthur’s warships deployed in a chain formation, almost completely encircling the opposing force.

       The huge metal wings were like the scythe in the hand of death in the dark night, and the intensive artillery fire tore apart Eta Star’s fragile defence line.

       Shen Zhuofan was sitting at the back. He looked at Arthur, who was about to land and connected to the video call.

       “The guide team will set off in five minutes.” Shen Zhuofan was wearing a black field uniform. He was tall and slender. Although he was not as robust as a sentinel, he was still standing tall and graceful.

       Arthur’s fiery red hair stood out conspicuously on the battlefield. He joked, “It’s okay if you don’t go over. Just hide behind.”

       Shen Zhuofan rolled his eyes, “We can switch places if you want. You come here, and I’ll go there.”

       Arthur laughed. He put his two fingers together and made a handsome military salute in front of his forehead, “It is my honour to fight alongside you, Guide Shen Zhuofan.”

 

       Skarter and Lin Dongliang came not long after, and they were used to wearing formal clothes. This was the first time Shen Zhuofan saw his usually gentle and elegant senior wearing a field uniform.

       Lin Dongliang was a little shorter than him, but he didn’t look thin, and he had a gentle and heroic air.

       “There are a lot of controlled guides here; many of them are still underage.” Shen Zhuofan’s face turned ugly. He had not investigated Eta’s experimental projects before. However, when he actually saw it, he still couldn’t accept it, “Most of the Sentinel are diehard Olympus loyalists, and only a small portion of them are willing to submit and surrender.”

       Lin Dongliang frowned, “There is a reason why Olympus has been independent for so many years.” He took the lead in entering the Eta gene bank. He saw nothing else except a few sentinel corpses on the ground. Olympus had already emptied the furnishings inside beforehand.

       Arthur clicked his tongue, “It seems that what happened before has basically made them give up here.”

       Skarter didn’t comment. He led his men around a few times and returned to the gene bank with a serious expression, “I think we have to go directly to Olympus.”

       The others looked at him.

       Skarter took a deep breath, “If this side really gives up, then the size of Olympus’s current army is not something that His Majesty can fight against.”

 

       Moschery did not show any difference when he received Lin Dongliang’s report. He just replied, “I understand.” Then, he readjusted the distribution of the aircraft ships.

       Qin Yun saw that he had changed into a flight suit and did not stop him, “You don’t plan to take me with you?”

       Moschery glanced at him, “I’m just going to investigate. I’ll be back in a while.”

       “Then you stay here.” Qin Yun suggested, “There is no rule that the Emperor must personally take part in the danger. I can go if it is just for investigation.”

       Moschery frowned, “Don’t make trouble.” He said helplessly, “Little Bixi will be worried.”

       Qin Yun: “I will be worried if you go. That’s not the reason.”

       Moschery was a little angry, but he was reluctant to get really angry with Qin Yun. He glared at Qin Yun a little irritably, and finally, he could only compromise, “Call Chen Xiao and Tristana. You will be on a ship with them.”

       “…” Qin Yun was confused, “How could you give your guide to someone else…”

       Unmoved, Moschery insisted, “For your own good, cut the crap.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       In the end, when the actual departure time came, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes, and Qin Yun didn’t expect to wait for Bixi.

       “I’ll go with you.” Bixi was carrying a first aid kit that looked bigger than her, “Just arrange an aircraft for me, or I can fly it myself.”

       Qin Yun was going crazy, “What’s the point of you going along for the ride?! Want me to die of fright?!”

       Bixi said confidently, “There are no big or small battlefields. As the commander, of course, I can go, but you, as a member of the royal family, should, in theory, one go, and one stays behind to oversee the overall situation”

       “…” Qin Yun was too depressed to refute and could only watch Bixi boarding Moschery’s ship.

       Tristana comforted him and said, “We’re not far away anyway, so we can always back up if something’s wrong.”

       Qin Yun folded his arms and said nothing. He had a lingering sense of unease, but he couldn’t quite articulate it in the moment. He had to endure it alone with no apparent solution in sight.

 

       When they were about to arrive at the border of Olympus, Moschery gave an order for everyone to hide. Chen Xiao piloted the aircraft to follow his, and the remaining ten or so small spacecraft formed a cross to protect the rear.

       Qin Yun couldn’t help but connect to the video and waited for a long time before seeing Moschery’s face.

       “Don’t get too far forward.” Qin Yun warned, “There’s no way Olympus isn’t patrolling.”

       Moschery nodded, “I know.” He frowned, “Sit down, don’t stand and talk to me, be careful of falling.”

       Qin Yun sat down obediently. He and Moschery looked outside together. After actually sneaking into the border of Olympus, they both discovered the problem.

       “…” Qin Yun, “This has gone full military base.”

       Moschery said nothing with a sullen face. Chen Xiao said seriously, “They’re on high alert. We’ll only be able to stay for a while at most.”

       Bixi’s voice came from the communicator, “Can you confirm where Helu is?”

       “It’s in progress.” Tristana quickly entered the command, “I’ve hacked into the Alliance map of Olympus… but it is too big. As His Highness said, they do not have any civilian equipment. It is just a large military base.” Suddenly, the female general’s face changed drastically, “Crap, they spotted us!”

 

       Several patrol ships had already moved quickly from a distance. Moschery calmly dodged the tracking bullets and gave the order in a deep voice, “Chen Xiao will go first. I will cover your retreat.”

       Qin Yun was just about to say whether the order was reversed when he felt the wings of the aircraft shaking. One of the enemy aircraft carriers was close to them at some point. The fuselage hit the side and almost overturned Chen Xiao in the driver’s seat.

       Moschery controlled the aircraft to fly upward quickly, and he concentrated his firepower to knock down the opponent without hesitation.

       “Damn it!” Chen Xiao’s head had just hit the top of his head; he wiped it only to realise that it was bleeding, and couldn’t help but curse.

       Tristana’s Crested Ibis flew to his side, its red and black wings gently caressing Sentinel’s wound.

       “I’m fine.” Qin Yun confirmed to Moschery in the video, “Stop covering up and just rush out.”

       The Emperor’s face was as dark as water, “It’s too late, the firepower is too strong, we must abandon one.”

       Qin Yun just discovered that half of the dozen or so spaceships that had followed him had been sunk by Olympus, and Moschery had arranged the rest around his own ship.

       “I’ll lure them away.” Moschery glanced at Qin Yun one last time, and he suddenly smiled, “There is something I want you to take a look at.”

       Qin Yun’s expression was a mix of bewilderment and anger. Before he could speak, Moschery turned off the communication device.

       Then, a huge black dragon appeared above the Moschery aircraft.

       “Oh my god…” Tristana covered her mouth and said in disbelief, “Is that His Majesty’s spiritual link?”

       At this moment, Qin Yun finally understood what his sentinel wanted to show him.

 

       Almost at the same time, the artillery fire of all Olympus patrol ships was aimed at Moschery’s aircraft. Chen Xiao roared and increased the speed of the aircraft to the extreme, and finally rushed out of the border, grazing the gunfire.

       Qin Yun turned around in panic. In a blaze of fire, the Moschery aircraft could no longer be seen clearly.

Chapter 50 – Lost Soul

April 15, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       The child took Song Jun towards the top of the tower and told him that in the tower, he had seen a person exactly like Song Jun, except that he was dressed differently.

       “That man seemed to have lived in the tower for a long time,” the child said.

       Song Jun watched him jump up the stairs and suddenly asked, “When were you imprisoned here?”

       The child looked a little gloomy, “A few months ago.”

       Song Jun asked him, “Can you never get out again?”

       The child said ‘En’ and said, “I will become like them in the future, and then I won’t feel lonely anymore.”

       Song Jun raised his hand and touched the child’s head. They didn’t feel warm at all.

       The child raised his head and looked at him as if he didn’t need him to pity him and said to him, “You can’t get out either. You can talk to me in the future. Maybe we won’t become like them.”

       Song Jun smiled but said nothing.

       They arrived at the highest floor of the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda. The child suddenly stopped walking and pointed to a man in front of him who was leaning against the railing and looking up at the top of the tower.

       The man was wearing dark clothes, with long black hair hanging down his shoulders. His appearance was clearly the same as Song Jun’s, but his face was serene, and his eyes were devoid of any expression.

       This was the incomplete soul in Song Jun’s body. He had Song Jun’s missing memory, but he had lost his sanity. He just relied on his memory and looked in the direction of heaven day after day, wanting to return to his master.

       Song Jun looked at him, closed his eyes, and then slowly walked in his direction.

       Ever since he first accompanied Xia Hongshen to the City God Temple, he felt a pull from his own soul. However, at that time, he didn’t know what it was. Even now, he remained unclear about why his soul and spirit were lost and trapped in this place. Yet, he was certain that once he retrieved his lost soul, he should be able to recover his past memories.

       At the time when his soul fused, many memories and emotions came together. Even though he could no longer feel the pain without his body, he still felt extremely painful because of this feeling.

       When Song Jun was about to kneel on the ground, he supported his body with his hands. He raised his head, gasped for air, and then slowly closed his eyes.

       Xia Hongshen waved his Gilded Phoenix Wings and struck them repeatedly against the Shining Snow in Mei Ling’s hand.

       In fact, this was the first time Xia Hongshen had fought against Mei Ling. As the daughter of Jade Emperor, Mei Ling’s spiritual power was naturally not weak, but she should not be so strong. After all, her opponent was Demon Zhen, an ancient monster that even the Jade Emperor dared not offend easily.

       Xia Hongshen used the Gilded Phoenix Wings to force Mei Ling to take a few steps back, then stopped and said, “Didn’t you notice?”

       Mei Ling was startled, “What did you notice?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “The demonic energy in your body is restless and is about to overflow.”

       When Mei Ling heard this, her face turned cold.

       Xia Hongshen continued, “Are you the one who bring the demonic energy into the city?”

       Mei Ling didn’t speak, which seemed to be her acquiescence.

       Xia Hongshen didn’t understand, “Do you realise that as the demonic energy spreads, the heavenly realm won’t let you act freely? Sooner or later, you will ruin this city.”

       Mei Ling said, “How do you know I don’t have the ability to contend with the heavenly realm?”

       Xia Hongshen asked, “As the daughter of Jade Emperor, what’s the point of doing such a thing?”

       “The daughter of Jade Emperor?” Mei Ling showed a look of disgust, “Isn’t the Jade Emperor helpless against you as well? If there’s something I want to achieve, I will do it. Since the Jade Emperor is of no use, I’ll rely on my own abilities to accomplish it.”

       Xia Hongshen frowned slightly.

       Suddenly, Xia Hongshen noticed that the ground beneath his feet began to tremble. He looked at Mei Ling and asked, “What’s going on?”

       Mei Ling smiled and said, “I opened the passage from the human world to the demon world. Then, monsters from the demon world can use this passage to enter and exit the human world.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Did you really collude with the demon world to do such a thing?”

       “Stop talking nonsense,” Mei Ling said impatiently, “Sooner or later, you will be nothing more than a prisoner under my command.”

       The Shining Snow Sword flashed with dazzling light and stabbed Xia Hongshen in the face again.

       At the same time, cracks invisible to the naked eye opened in countless dark corners of the city, and demonic energy sprang out from the cracks, flowing freely throughout the city.

       On the contrary, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, followed by thunder and strong winds, as if a heavy rain was brewing.

       At this time, Xia Hongshen’s cell phone suddenly rang.

       He didn’t have time to answer the phone, so he flicked his fingers in his pocket, threw Xi Anling out, and asked her to answer the phone.

       Xi Anling turned over and knelt on the ground, with her short skirt not even covering her knees. After answering the phone, she heard Yun Po’s voice coming from the other side. He shouted loudly, “I can’t enter the city!”

       Xi Anling then shouted to Xia Hongshen, “Yun Po said he can’t enter the city!”

       While Xia Hongshen was fighting Mei Ling, he was still distracted and replied, “Tell him that this city has opened a gap with the demon world and has been sealed off by the heaven.”

       Xi Anling then told Yun Po again.

       Yun Po asked loudly, “What should we do?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Tell him to find a way to get into the city.”

       Xi Anling conveyed Xia Hongshen’s words again, then hung up the phone, stood up and wanted to help Xia Hongshen deal with Mei Ling, but Xia Hongshen ordered, “Go to Long Xing and tell him the situation.”

       Xi Anling was unwilling to give in and stared at Mei Ling fiercely.

       Xia Hongshen raised his voice slightly and yelled, “Go!”

       Then she stamped her foot, turned around and ran away.

       Mei Ling glanced at Xi Anling, sneered, and drew a semicircle in front of her forehead with her left hand. Then Xia Hongshen saw countless dark demonic energy surging in the direction of Mei Ling and entering her body.

       Mei Ling wanted to use the power of the demon world to defeat Xia Hongshen.

       A dark glow spread along the snowy white blade. As it continued to clash with the Gilded Phoenix Wings, the golden glow of the Gilded Phoenix Wings slowly faded, and it was about to be eroded by the demonic energy.

       Although Gilded Phoenix Wings and Dragon Tip Whip were Xia Hongshen’s usual weapons, the most powerful weapon around him was still the Chunjun, and it was also the weapon he used most easily.

       Even now, Xia Hongshen still did not know the true identity of the owner of the Demon Market. However, since it was related to the demonic energy and connected to Princess Meiling, then Chunjun should also be trapped by them.

       Where was Chunjun?

       Xia Hongshen raised his head and let out a beast’s roar, which was the sound he made to summon Chunjun. In their long years, once Chunjun had left his side, he had always been like this, impatiently calling Chunjun back; he did not want to leave Chunjun.

       Before that, Song Jun, who had found his soul and memory, was half-kneeling on the ground, trying to digest the things that were pouring into him.

       The child next to him cautiously looked at him and asked, “Are you okay?”

       Song Jun shook his head, resisted the pain and stood up. He reached out and touched the child’s head and said, “I’m fine.”

       The child looked up at him and suddenly felt something strange because the expression of the person in front of him had changed. He was not as calm and lifeless as before, nor was he the silly and innocent one just now. It was as if he was a different person.

       Song Jun stretched out his hand to hold the railing in front of him and gently pressed his chest with his other hand. He finally remembered everything. He also knew why he was here, and he knew more clearly what he should do next. And only now did he realise that Chunjun in his previous life was not as indifferent as he saw, but had more and stronger emotions, far beyond what he thought.

       “There’s no way out,” the little child told him, “none of us can get out.”

       Song Jun turned around and told him, “I will definitely go out.”

       The child didn’t know whether to believe it or not and kept looking at him with his head raised.

       Song Jun said, “I will take you out with me and send you to reincarnation.”

       The child opened his eyes wide, then sniffed as he said, “I don’t have any tears, but my nose is a little sore.”

       Song Jun smiled slightly at him.

       He took the children down from the top to the bottom of the pagoda. If he remembered correctly, Xia Hongshen told him that the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was connected to the eighteenth level of hell. Even if there was truly no way out of the pagoda, he was determined to find a way to escape, even if it meant entering the eighteen layers of hell.

       He was Chunjun, and there were thousands of lives under his sword. He had nothing to fear in this world, only concern.

       The door of the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda was still closed. The soul could only enter, but there was no way to get out.

       The ghost guarding the door was still trying to grab Song Jun’s arm. Song Jun raised his hand and waved him away. His whole body suddenly flew up and then landed in the distance.

       Song Jun reached out and touched the tower door.

       “It can’t be opened,” the kid said. He didn’t want to discourage Song Jun. He was just afraid that too much hope would eventually lead to more painful disappointment.

       Song Jun slowly closed his eyes. He was a sword spirit, and his soul carried Chunjun’s sharpest and purest sword energy. The sword energy was slowly injected into the pagoda door in front of him, and he wanted to use the sword energy to split the door directly.

       The entire Soul Suppressing Pagoda began to tremble, but it was still not enough. He could not use his sword energy to break open the door.

       The child was very disappointed and said to Song Jun, “It won’t do.”

       Song Jun opened his eyes, and he was not disappointed. If his ability were not enough to break through the door of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, then he would go and find the passage to the eighteenth level of hell.

       At this moment, Song Jun heard Xia Hongshen’s call.

       The child asked in surprise, “What is the sound?”

       Song Jun raised his head and said, “My master is calling me. He needs me.”

       “Huh?” The child didn’t know why.

       The beast’s roar came one after another.

       Song Jun closed his eyes hard, and countless energy from the sword overflowed from his soul. The child was frightened and hurriedly hid in a corner to avoid the Chunjun sword energy.

       He saw Song Jun emanating a bronze-coloured glow, the sharp sword energy disrupting the stagnant air within the tower. Countless spirits emitted wailing cries. As the radiance expanded, the entire tower began to tremble violently. Sounds of collisions echoed from doors and windows. The seal outside the main gate was slowly sliced through by the sword’s energy, burning into a pile of ashes.

       When Night Patrol God led the guards from the City God’s Temple arrived, they saw that the door of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was broken open from the inside. Song Jun, who was lying on the ground, slowly stood up. The blood on his forehead was not dry yet, but the wound there was already healing slowly.

       “Chunjun?” Night Patrol God shouted angrily, “Do you dare to destroy the tower?”

       As soon as the tower door opened, Song Jun came out, and many souls scattered in all directions.

       Song Jun didn’t have time to struggle with the Night Patrol God. He used his sword energy to force them away and flew away outside the City God’s Temple.

Chapter 27 – Companion

April 14, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       For nearly a week, Zhuo Yue’s entire life consisted of eating, bathing, reading, doing housework, obeying commands, and receiving training. His world had shrunk into a house, where he had no privacy, rights, or autonomy and was completely cut off from his previous life.

       He stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself naked. He couldn’t even remember what he used to look like under the spotlight and in front of the camera. Everything in the past seemed to have become a distant and vague illusion. The applause, screams, cheers, and rumours had all been stripped away from this body. The man who dominated everything tore open his skin, pulled out the childlike child he curled up in, and led him through the dark, shrouded path. Fang Mingyan had seen him at his worst, knew all his weaknesses, and controlled every part of his body. This man had powers that could easily destroy him, yet he had always used that power to protect him.

       When he was around Fang Mingyan, his heart was calmer than ever before, as if everything had become simple and pure. For the first time, he tried to be his true self without reservation, for the first time, he trusted another person wholeheartedly, and for the first time, he willingly gave everything to him.

       Changes were subtly taking place.

       He didn’t know when it started, but his eyes began to stay on Fang Mingyan unconsciously for a long time. Every expression, every movement, every command affected his gaze. He was becoming more and more accustomed to being by each other’s side. Even if he had free time, he wanted to stay within sight of each other.

       Such as this moment.

       Zhuo Yue gently tapped on the door with a green tea in hand, and upon hearing a “come in” from inside, he pushed the door open.

       Fang Mingyan was reading the stack of newcomer information faxed by his secretary. Zhuo Yue put the tea in his hand, went to the bookshelf to get a book as usual, and sat quietly on the sofa to read. There were probably more newcomers participating in the selection this time, and Fang Mingyan had been working at his desk. However, this book, ‘Analysis of Film Art Expression Techniques’ was too theoretical and looked very boring. The room was as warm as spring, and Zhuo Yue couldn’t help but feel sleepy. His eyelids slowly drooped, and the neat handwriting became blurry shadows, indistinct and unclear.

       After this period of conditioning, his sleep quality gradually improved. Although he still woke up from time to time in the middle of the night, he was able to guarantee at least four or five hours of deep sleep every day. At this moment, tiredness came over him. He glanced vaguely toward the desk, then leaned softly on the sofa and fell asleep.

       In a trance, he fell into a dream.

       In the quiet night, the wind stirred the branches and made a rustling sound, and the sound of unknown animals came from the deep woods. He was awakened by the cry, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was in a stone cave, naked, but warm underneath, as if wrapped in a black scarf. The difference was that the ‘scarf’ had black scales. He moved; the ‘scarf’ also moved, and the scales rubbed against the skin, making it slippery. Immediately afterwards, the huge object beside him also moved, and the mountain-like figure of the dragon enveloped him. He raised his face and saw the slowly opening blood-red eyes, but those eyes were full of tenderness. It circled him with its long tail and gently covered him with its wings.

       “Sleep, don’t be afraid.”

       It seemed to say something like this. Zhuo Yue said “Okay”, stretched out his arms to hug the tail, changed into a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

       Dreams and reality alternated in the blurred boundary. The world was turned upside down and awakened those in deep sleep.

       When he opened his eyes, Zhuo Yue was still in a state of delirium, staring blankly at the man in front of him. After more than ten seconds, he gradually woke up and found that he was holding the man’s arm. Immediately embarrassed, he hurriedly gave up his hand and said, “Master, I’m sorry…” When he sat up, he found that he had a thin blanket on his body. Based on the dream just now, it was obvious that when the other person covered him with a blanket, he took the initiative to hug his arm. Zhuo Yue tried to explain awkwardly, “I just fell asleep and thought I was in a dream, so…”

       “What did you dream about?” Fang Mingyan asked.

       He blushed and whispered, “Dream of a dragon.”

       The man curled his lips, put his hands on the back of the sofa, held him between his arms, used one knee to prop up Zhuo Yue’s slightly separated legs, and said, “Tell me what it did to you.”

       The man’s knees were pressed between his legs through a thin layer of blanket, deliberately rubbing the sensitive parts gently and sometimes heavily. Zhuo Yue’s face turned red when he was provoked, “It didn’t do anything… Just slept…”

       Hearing his answer, Fang Mingyan chuckled. He leaned forward slowly, forcing Zhuo Yue to lean back on the back of the sofa. His fingers caressed his red ears. His deep voice had a special magnetism that made people’s hearts beat faster, “You are getting more and more courageous. You dare to sleep with others behind my back, huh?”

       His tone was like that of a child having a tantrum, with some unreasonable arrogance and a possessive desire to dominate.

       It felt like there was something soft in the heart like a flower stamen stained by rain and dew. Zhuo Yue looked up at him, with a smile in his dark eyes. He put his arms around the man’s waist, put his head on his chest, and said, “I was wrong, Master.”

       The man curled his lips silently and touched his head.

 

       Every night at nine o’clock was the hardest time for Zhuo Yue. He had to stay in a cage in front of a camera pointed at him.

       This was Fang Mingyan’s therapy—letting him spend some time with the camera every day and gradually extending the time according to his ability to bear it so that he could reduce his fear through repeated adaptation and habituation.

       It seemed to be working well so far. Zhuo Yue had become much calmer from the panic-stricken initial self. Although his limbs were still stiff and uneasy, at least he could maintain his basic posture for more than twenty minutes.

       Provided that his master was present. Fang Mingyan was like Zhuo Yue’s compass when he was lost, guiding his course all the way south.

       “Let’s start. Recite the short text you just read.” The cage was brightly lit at night, and the man was sitting on a single sofa, playing with a slender red cowhide soft whip in his hand.

       The naked Zhuo Yue knelt in the middle of the thick carpet in a standard posture, constantly thinking about what he had just read in his head. However, the camera placed not far away made him restless and unable to concentrate at all. He pursed his lips and began stiffly, “Time slowed down as the man and I stood by the window. We looked at each other, but neither of us spoke. It felt like I could see from his eyes… fireworks, a bustling firework scene. I want… I want…” After reciting it to this point, he could no longer remember the next sentence, and his eyes unconsciously turned from the man to the cold machine. Suddenly, a bit of sharp air passed by the ear, and the soft red whip rubbed the ear and was thrown heavily on the carpet, making a muffled sound.

       This whip made Zhuo Yue jump with fear. He immediately turned his attention back to the sofa and muttered, “Master…”

       “What order did I give you?” Fang Mingyan looked at him calmly.

       “Keep watching you until… I finished reciting the text.” Under the pressure of the camera, sweat broke out on his back, and his fingers behind his back were twisted into a ball.

       “Where were you looking just now?”

       “I was wrong.” Zhuo Yue tried his best to suppress his physical discomfort and keep his condition stable, and he begged, “Master, can you give me another chance?”

       The man threw the book in front of him and said coldly, “If you can’t memorise it this time, you will sleep here tonight.”

       Zhuo Yue’s body trembled slightly, his lips tightened, and he answered softly, “Okay.”

       This passage wasn’t long, and remembering these sentences wasn’t difficult for him, who was used to memorising scripts. However, under the gaze of that terrifying lens, just controlling himself to stay normal took too much effort. Every part of his body resisted. His blood seemed to congeal, feeling cold even though sweat dripped from his forehead. His eyes stared at the book, his brain repeatedly admonishing himself to remember those black words, but his memory was like an old car that just wouldn’t start no matter what.

       He wanted to do well, but he couldn’t do it well.

       Fear silently eroded his body, and he pushed himself to the limit in his urgency and self-denial. The nightmare grabbed his throat and choked him. Zhuo Yue’s hand holding the book began to tremble uncontrollably, his face became paler and paler, and finally, he arched his body in pain and let out a whimper like a small animal.

       “Zhuo Yue! Look at me, take a deep breath…” The man’s voice came to his ears, like the thunder that drove away nightmares on a summer night. His body fell into a hug, and the cold body was wrapped in warmth. Zhuo Yue opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a crack in the calm expression on Fang Mingyan’s face for the first time. This man who had always been strong and confident now showed a nervous and worried look, which distressed him. Zhuo Yue reached out and hugged him back as if he wanted to comfort him. He said with whitened lips, “I’m fine…”

       Fang Mingyan frowned deeply, took him out of the cage, carefully placed him on the big bed in the master bedroom, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, “Do you feel any discomfort?”

       Zhuo Yue shook his head.

       Seeing the colour returned to his face, the man relaxed slightly. He sat down next to him, stroked his head, and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t grasp the progress well.”

       Zhuo Yue lay down and shook his head silently again. He looked at Fang Mingyan with deer-like eyes and spoke slowly, “It felt like I could see a bustling fireworks scene from his eyes. I want to stay with him like this, watching the changing seasons, the intermingling of day and night, the majestic mountains and rivers, and the moon shining over the frosty rivers. I still want to be with him until time blurs our outlines, turning from unforgettable to forgettable. I’ve made up my mind about this, and it took all my courage.” After he finished speaking, his eyelashes grew. Trembling, “I recited it, Master.”

       The man didn’t speak for a long time, and there was a warm light in his black eyes. He caressed the face that looked a little tired and finally leaned over to kiss his forehead.

       “You did well, slave.”

Chapter 51 – The Spark (3)

April 12, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Kyle received Helu’s body in the underground laboratory of Olympus. He bent down and put on gloves as he carefully stroked all parts of the corpse. Breaux couldn’t stand the other person’s touching the corpse and frowned, “Does this guy really have the first-generation God Sentinel gene in him? Don’t be swindled by that old woman.”

       Kyle didn’t speak. His fingers lingered on a cross-shaped wound near Helu’s heart. After a while, he said coldly, “He underwent an implantation surgery, embedding a sealed tube containing the genes into his own body.”

       “…” Breaux shuddered. “That’s truly… a bold move.”

       Kyle smiled, “Helu is not at all as weak and incompetent as the rumours say. He is a great emperor. Whether he decisively abandoned Olympus to protect the Empire’s guide or created Moschery, every step he takes shows the calmness of an Emperor—courageous, ruthlessly sacrificial yet noble in dedication.”

       Even if Kyle said this, Breaux obviously didn’t agree. He curled his lips in disdain and just asked with concern, “What should we do now?”

       Kyle didn’t answer. He took the scalpel and carefully cut open Helu’s chest. When he touched the sealed tube, Kyle’s expression couldn’t help but be moved, “…He hid it in the heart.”

       Breaux’s expression turned grim, “Is he crazy?!”

       “I don’t know.” Kyle frowned. He also found it very unbelievable. The airtight tube was only half the size of a little finger, containing a few extremely fine black strands of hair. He squinted at it in the light for a moment, “It’s a little strange. We need to do a test first to check whose DNA it belongs to.”

       Breaux said bitterly, “Not his own.”

       Kyle shook his head, “No, Helu’s hair is silver.” He glanced at the person in the cryogenic chamber, “But I remember that his hair was very long…”

       “Being an Emperor is so hard. It’s possible that all your hair will fall out.” Breaux mocked, and he glanced at the blood-stained sealed tube with disgust, “Please clean this thing up. It looks really disgusting.”

 

       Bixi was wearing a camouflage uniform. She put on wristbands and carefully put her long silver hair into a hat.

       Qin Yun’s expression didn’t convey agreement, but he spoke with as much patience as he could muster, “Would you wait here, please? I promise you, I will bring Helu’s body back.”

       “It’s not just about the remains.” Bixi put on her military boots neatly and tied her belt, which made her body surprisingly petite and thin, “An SSS level guide belongs to the commander level. I should be on the battlefield; there is a place for me there.”

       Qin Yun opened his mouth, and he realised that even if they were not related by blood, Bixi was the one who raised him. There was always a bit of her stubbornness and perseverance in his character.

       “Don’t look like you’ve been abandoned.” Bixi pinched Qin Yun’s face jokingly, “My little guy, be strong.”

       Qin Yun was silent. He held Bixi’s hand and was so sad that he couldn’t speak.

       Bixi gently stroked the top of his hair. She looked at Qin Yun and said, “You have never asked me who your biological parents are… Aren’t you curious?”

       “Maybe before, but not now.” Qin Yun said seriously, “You are the one who raised me. I’m very happy; having you is enough.”

       Bixi laughed. She secretly wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, stretched out her hands and hugged her son.

 

       In order to save time, Moschery decided to divide his troops into two groups. Arthur, as the vanguard, was responsible for tearing apart Eta’s defensive fortress, followed by Skarter, who would then lead the army to attack Olympus directly.

       “Chen Xiao is in charge of the raid. Are the Star Thief gang here?” Moschery had already changed into field uniforms. He bumped fists with Arthur and Skarter and jumped onto the wing with ease.

       Qin Yun was checking the base below. He looked up and saw Moschery looking at him.

       “What are you doing?” Qin Yun tilted his head, “Don’t stand so high… I can’t even see your face clearly.”

       Moschery didn’t obey. He took a moment and replied, “I like it.”

       Qin Yun: “?”

       Moschery: “Because I can see you looking at me seriously.”

       “…” Qin Yun said helplessly, “I am seeing you carefully every day.”

       “It’s not enough.” Moschery jumped off the wing and rubbed the back of Qin Yun’s head roughly, “Your gaze should be more intense.” He paused and added, “You have no idea how I usually look at you.”

       Qin Yun: “…How do you look?”

       Moschery thought about it seriously, “The gaze of wanting to catch you anytime, anywhere.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Almost all the Star Thief’s members were dispatched. Qin Yun met Yaya, Ali and the twin brothers again. Moschery greeted them expressionlessly and faced his comrades who had been together through life and death with an expression of ‘you two liars’. Qin Yun could only stay and explain with a headache.

       “We were in a special position at the time…” Qin Yun tried hard to think of an excuse, “We had to complete a mission…”

       Ali frowned, “Were you married then?”

       “…” Qin Yun choked, “No, not yet…”

       Yaya gestured disbelievingly.

       Ali translated, “He said that you smelled like the Emperor at that time…you had already made the final mark, right?”

       Qin Yun: “…No.”

       The twin brothers looked at each other, and the elder brother said, “But you have a good understanding.”

       The younger brother nodded, “Sure enough, they are destined to be a match made in heaven?”

       Qin Yun coughed awkwardly, “Y-you can put it that way…?”

       Yaya snorted, and he gestured quickly.

       Ali agreed: “Don’t show affection in front of us single dogs. You are so shameless.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Skarter’s troops were all excellent sentinels with extensive frontline experience. Most of them were very familiar with Qin Yun. Elberna even gave Qin Yun a hug directly in front of the Emperor.

       Moschery squinted his eyes and stared at Elberna’s hand on Qin Yun’s shoulder, who was still reliving the comradeship without realising it…

       “I think how good you were on the front line at that time. You were strong and durable.” Elberna sighed, “The high-level guides that were arranged later were like canaries… One guide and two Sentinels for protection, always crying, such a hassle.”

       Qin Yun twitched the corner of his mouth, and Moschery glanced at him with interest.

       Elberna: “Low-level guides are still better. I’m even thinking of proposing to Sennas, but you folks in the low-level guide circle are like mysterious creatures. It’s not easy to marry one.”

       Qin Yun glanced at Sennas, who was offering paramecium for everyone to poke his belly in the distance and was speechless. He could only cough and ask, “Have you told him about this idea?”

       “Talked about it.” Elberna frowned, “But he said that the Paramecium family is very large, and marrying him must be approved by all the Paramecia.” Sentinel paused and looked at Qin Yun with a hopeful look, “Didn’t you have a very good relationship with him at that time? Do you think there is hope for me?”

       …Of course Qin Yun didn’t know if Elberna had any hope. After all, joking aside, how big is a single-cell population?! Excluding those that were not registered, every time there was a gathering in the low-level guide circle, the place was full of moths, and people could drown!

       “We were actually worried that you wouldn’t be able to get married in the early days.” Elberna said sincerely. He looked at Moschery with admiration, “Although Qin Yun looks a bit rugged on the outside, tall and not soft enough, quite well-built muscles…basically, back then, no one would think of fvcking him, but many wished to be pinned down by him.” The more Elberna spoke, the more he felt sorry for His Majesty the Emperor, “You have worked really hard.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

       “It’s good to be firm.” Moschery chuckled, “Pert buttocks feel good in the hands.”

 

       Because he had made the final mark, Moschery’s consciousness cloud was very stable and would not give people too much pressure because of his inability to control it. Qin Yun watched him naturally stay in the sentinel circle, although he was still silent most of the time. But Qin Yun could see that he was in a good mood.

       “It’s really a sight I’ve never seen before.” Lin Dongliang sighed at the side, “Because His Majesty couldn’t control the pressure before, it was difficult to blend in even when he was with us.”

       Qin Yun didn’t speak. He looked at his sentinel from a distance with gentle eyes. Moschery seemed to feel something and turned back to look at him.

       Qin Yun: “?”

       Moschery raised his eyebrows expressionlessly. He clenched his fist and beat his chest, then raised it and stretched it in the direction of Qin Yun.

       Qin Yun understood. He smiled and made the same move as Moschery—the two fist-bumped like brothers.

       “I love you.” His Majesty the Emperor mouthed, kissed his fist, and finally tapped his heart.

       Qin Yun didn’t understand. He looked at Moschery, who was about to board the Imperial Starship, “What does that mean?”

 

       Moschery did not answer directly. He stood on the Imperial Starship and looked down at all the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield. His eyes slowly swept across their faces.

       “From today on, you will all be the heroes of the Empire.” Moschery’s voice was deep and clear, “You will protect the land under your feet, protect your relatives and children, and protect your loved ones.”

       The generals raised their heads and listened quietly, with solemn expressions.

       Moschery pressed his fist against his chest, “If we return in triumph, the scars and medals will become our glory. If, unfortunately, we fall in battle…” The Emperor’s eyes passed through the crowd and looked gently into Qin Yun’s eyes, “My flesh and blood will rest in a foreign land with my love, while my soul will traverse the vast expanse of the stars and galaxies, returning to the side of my beloved, never to be alone.”

Chapter 49 – To Seek For

April 11, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       The way leading to the City God Temple could only be opened when night comes. It was the main road of the city, and it was often full of traffic and splendour even at the end of the night, but now it was unusually cold.

       It was not that there were no healthy people in this city, but they might have left here long ago to seek refuge, or they might be hiding at home and trying not to go out.

       The government was still maintaining order in the city, so there was no chaos in the city. So far, no one died due to the infectious disease, and it had not caused too much panic to the outside world. However, only people in this city knew about how terrible this disease was.

       Medical aid was constantly being transported into the city, but no effective treatment had been found. No matter how many people come in, they would only gradually become infected and eventually become delirious.

       In Xia Hongshen’s terms, that would be called ‘falling into demonic influence’.

       The summer vacation was not over yet; the campus was still deserted, and when it got dark, there was no one on the school road.

       Feng Junyuan followed Xia Hongshen out of the school dormitory and walked outside.

       Long Xing just received a call and was called back to the Public Security Bureau. He was now on duty 24 hours a day, and he might be called back at any time in case of emergency.

       Before Xia Hongshen went out, he asked Xi Anling to transform into a crescent moon bell, put it into his jacket pocket, and then ask Feng Junyuan to follow him.

       Feng Junyuan asked him, “Are you going to save Song Jun?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Do you care about Song Jun?”

       Feng Junyuan stopped talking.

       They came to the river and saw the old man ferrying people by the river. The old man sat on the side of the boat with his head lowered and said nothing.

       When Xia Hongshen was about to get on the boat, he suddenly stopped.

       Feng Junyuan followed him and looked over with some doubts and saw a woman coming out of the cabin.

       The woman was wearing a blouse and short skirt, with an outstanding appearance and elegant posture. She said to Xia Hongshen, “Long time no see. It seems like you’re quite attached to the human world.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Princess Mei Ling.”

       Mei Ling reached out and gently tucked her long hair behind her shoulders and said, “Actually, I also think that life here is very good. Would you be interested in buying me a cup of coffee?”

       Before Xia Hongshen could speak, the crescent bell in his coat pocket suddenly shook.

       Mei Ling noticed the movement, smiled and said, “Yueya is still so stubborn.”

       Xia Hongshen stretched out his hand to hold Yueya down, signalling her to calm down, and then said to Mei Ling, “All the cafes in the city have been closed.”

       Hearing this, Mei Ling said, “Why don’t you invite me to your home?”

       “I still have something to do. Princess, if you are willing, you can come with me.”

       Mei Ling asked, “Are you going to the City God’s Temple?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “That’s right.”

       Mei Ling smiled and turned toward the cabin, seemingly inviting Xia Hongshen and Feng Junyuan to board the ship. However, in the next moment, she lifted her wrist, and a surge of spiritual energy transformed into a slender, delicate sword thrusting towards Xia Hongshen’s chest, forcing him to take a step back.

       Xia Hongshen said in a deep voice, “What do you mean, princess?”

       Mei Ling turned her wrist, looked at the sword in her hand, and said, “This sword is called Shining Snow. I would like to try the Gilded Phoenix Wings in your hand to see who is more powerful.”

       Xia Hongshen let out and ‘Oh’ before saying, “The princess seems unaware that the demonic energy has spread throughout the city, and it is on the verge of a crisis. Yet, at this moment, she chooses to test her martial skills against me?”

       Mei Ling chuckled, “You don’t dare? Fair enough. Gilded Phoenix Wings is much weaker than Chunjun. Why don’t you find Chunjun first, and then we can have a proper match?”

       At this point, if Xia Hongshen previously had any doubts about Mei Ling’s connection to the anomalies within the city, he was now convinced. It seemed that to reach the City God Temple, he had to first pass through Mei Ling. Xia Hongshen extended his hand to Feng Junyuan and said, “It seems we have no choice but to comply.”

       When Mei Ling saw this, she suddenly felt a little emotional and said, “Spending these days in the mortal realm seems to have made you quite adept at human relations, more so than your time in the heavens.”

       Xia Hongshen didn’t say anything. Feng Junyuan turned into a Gilded Phoenix Wing with flowing brilliance and fell into his hands.

       Song Jun squatted in front of the Lake of Reincarnation in the City God’s Temple. He had already seen his past and present lives, and he could not see more even if he stayed here. But he just wanted to use this method to revive his memory.

       He was very curious and eager to know.

       “You won’t find anything from here,” a voice suddenly said behind him.

       Song Jun was startled and stood up quickly. He turned around and saw a long-haired man in a dark straight robe standing behind him. One side of his face was pale, and the other side was dark, the very same The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division he had once seen when he had come over with Xia Hongshen.

       After a moment of hesitation, Song Jun called out, “Sir.”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division asked him, “What are you looking for?”

       Song Jun said, “I don’t know. I want to find the memory of my past life.”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division said to him, “You won’t find it here.”

       Song Jun knew what he said was true, so he was a little frustrated and then asked, “Where is Cen Le? Oh, I mean Lord City God.”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division said, “The Lord City God is out. There have been changes in the city recently. Don’t you know?”

       Song Jun guessed that he was talking about the spread of demonic energy and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it getting worse?”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division said in a low voice, “It’s precarious.”

       Song Jun felt nervous and said to The Lord Magistrate of the Yin and Yang Division, “Sir, can you send me back? I’m very worried about Senior Brother Xia and the others.”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division hesitated, “You are a guest invited by Lord City God. I have no right to send you away.”

       Song Jun said, “I just want to go back to take a look. I will come back again to find Cen Le. He promised to help me restore my memory.”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division was silent for a moment and said, “Follow me.”

       Song Jun followed The Lord Magistrate of the Yin and Yang Division towards the gate of the City God’s Temple. As he approached the gate, he heard someone shouting, “Stop!”

       The two people turned around and saw Night Patrol God walking towards them with a long knife in his hand, “Where are you going?”

       Before Song Jun could answer, the Lord Magistrate of the Yin and Yang Division said, “You want to stop me?”

       “Lord Magistrate!” Night Patrol God bowed his hands, “Lord City God ordered me not to let Chunjun leave the City God Temple.”

       “Why?” Song Jun suddenly became anxious after hearing this.

       Night Patrol God said, “Lord City God said that it is very dangerous outside now. He was afraid that Chunjun would not be able to protect himself after going out, so it is safer to stay in the temple.”

       The Lord Magistrate of the Yin and Yang Division said, “I will accompany him there, don’t worry.”

       Hearing the insistence of The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division, the Night Patrol God suddenly became a little anxious, “Lord Magistrate, Lord City God ordered me; please don’t make things difficult for me. Besides, now that City God is not in the temple, how can you leave so easily?”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division was about to retort when he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking.

       “What’s going on?” Apparently, he wasn’t the only one who noticed.

       Song Jun looked at the land under his feet in surprise. He found that the entire City God’s Temple was shaking. He heard the bells in the distance begin to ring erratically. It seemed as if it couldn’t withstand the impact and was on the verge of collapse.

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division and Night Patrol God changed their expressions at the same time.

       No longer caring about Song Jun, The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division shouted loudly, “Someone come!”

       The ghost generals in the City God Temple appeared from the darkness one after another.

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division immediately notified the underworld, and he took his people to find out what happened.

       Song Jun was left where he was, but there was a guard guarding the door, and he had no way to get out from there.

       The bells in the distance were still ringing one after another. He raised his head to look at the soul-suppressing pagoda. He felt that he was in a trance. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to press his chest and walk in that direction.

       The City God Temple was in chaos, and no one could care about him now.

       Song Jun didn’t know the way, so he could only try to walk in that direction, and it took him a long time to stumble to the foot of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda. From the first time he saw this pagoda, he felt that something was holding him back.

       The pagoda door was closed, and a seal was pasted on it.

       No living person could enter this pagoda; only souls could enter.

       Song Jun had been timid, even a little cowardly, all his life. Until now, Chunjun seemed to him to be an individual’s story and had nothing to do with him. But Xia Hongshen once told him that he was Chunjun.

       If he was really Chunjun, then he should believe that his body couldn’t die easily. He had no other way now. If he wanted to enter this pagoda, he could only let his soul leave his body.

       Song Jun took a deep breath. He felt that maybe he should really do something at this time instead of waiting here endlessly and leaving all his hopes in the hands of others.

       It should be very painful, so he needed to do it once.

       Song Jun banged his head against the pillar in front of the pagoda.

       “The Soul-Suppressing Pagoda can suppress all kinds of ghosts. Once thrown into the pagoda, they cannot come out. The Black Bai Wuchang captures the ghosts from the human world. When they need to be reincarnated, they go to the underworld, and when they need to go to hell, they are taken to the eighteenth level of hell. The rest will be trapped in this pagoda and will never see the light of day.”

       Song Jun’s soul left his body and drifted towards the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, and he easily passed through the pagoda door. Beside the door, someone tried to hold his hand, but he shook it off. When he turned around, he saw a headless soul standing by the door, seemingly trying to catch every soul that passed by him.

       There were many souls wandering in this pagoda. Once they entered, they never left. As they spend long years in darkness and isolation, most of these ghosts become numb and unconscious.

       Song Jun passed by them, but no one glanced at him. Song Jun found that he was no longer afraid. Facing so many ghosts, he felt that there was nothing scary for the first time because he was not even afraid of death. He could not imagine what kind of threat these ghosts could bring to him.

       He walked around the bottom of the pagoda in a daze and then noticed the stairs leading to the top of the pagoda. A child was squatting on the stairs, seeming to be carving something on the wooden stairs.

       This was the only soul that seemed to have any thought.

       Song Jun stood behind him.

       The child turned back to look at him and continued to paddle without any change in his expression.

       After a moment, he suddenly turned around and stood up with a surprised look on his face, “How did you become like this?”

       “Do you know me?” Song Jun asked him.

       The child looked at his face carefully, then raised his head and looked towards the top of the pagoda, wondering, “Aren’t you him?”

       Song Jun thought he might have found something and asked, “Who is he?”

Chapter 50 – The Spark (2)

April 9, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       In the end, Moschery did not abolish the entire Cabinet. Instead, Lin Dongliang took over as prime minister. Chen Xiao, who had been exiled for many years, finally gets a chance to come back and take over the Secretary of State’s seat so that he and Tristana can love and fight each other every day.

       Skarter joked to him, “When are you going to eat wedding candy? “Why not combine the wedding and the baby’s full moon celebration?”

       Chen Xiao glanced at him depressedly, “I want to, but the problem is that I can’t even climb up the bed now!”

       “…” Skarter was shocked when he said this and realised that he and Lin Dongliang were not sleeping together. He immediately frowned and looked at the new Prime Minister, “You are not the Secretary of State anymore. Why haven’t you moved out of the mansion yet?”

       Lin Dongliang was a little confused, “The Prime Minister also has a Prime Minister’s Office… We can’t live together.”

       Skarter’s face darkened. He looked around at Arthur and Shen Zhuofan and found that these two people were even more unlikely…

       “The key is the final mark.” Chen Xiao squinted his eyes and licked his lips, “I’ve got to find a chance to abduct the little cannon girl into bed and fvck her, and everything will be solved.”

       Tristana, who had just made the puffs and brought them in, happened to hear these words. Chen Xiao still didn’t realise it yet. He just felt that everyone around him was staring at him with a ‘You are dead; take care’ look…

 

       Every time the parliament changed, it was the busiest time. Except for Qin Yun and Moschery, everyone else spent several nights at Tristana’s residence. Olympus also seemed to react to the Emperor’s declaration of war, and there was increased activity in the recent movements of Eta Star.

       “Are you still sending people over to keep an eye on Berlin?” Chen Xiao threw the folder on the table. He stretched out, twisted a puff made by Tristana and stuffed it into his mouth, “I have been afraid of her for so many years; she’s always fought back at critical moments.”

       “Unless she colludes with Olympus.” Shen Zhuofan sorted out the Averio information that Quinta left before, “The Cabinet has mastered quite a bit of genetic evolution technology… Huh?”

       Lin Dongliang leaned over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

       Shen Zhuofan frowned and hesitated, “No…it’s strange. The focus of their research is not on the guide.”

       Skarter became interested, “What do you mean?”

       Arthur took the document from Shen Zhuofan’s hand. He looked at it for a while, and his face became serious, “Now I understand why the cabinet doesn’t care about the quality of the guides and insists on constantly pushing them onto our Emperor’s bed.” The document was turned over and placed in the centre of the table, “What they care about is the genetic evolution of the god-level Sentinel. If I guess correctly, this is why Helu destroyed the gene of the first-generation sentinel.”

 

       “The Cabinet Lab’s access?” Qin Yun came out of the room while putting on clothes. Moschery had been deployed at the frontline military headquarters these days. Qin Yun had followed him until now and was only forced to come back for a few hours of sleep when he had the time to do so.

       “I don’t have it… Why do you want to go there?” He turned on the communication device and wore military boots, “I have Xi Zhao’s permission card. Can I use it?”

       Tristana looked anxious, “Your Majesty’s card may not work. I’ll try mine.”

       Qin Yun waited for a while and saw the female general’s expression change, “Someone changed the permissions privately?!”

       “What do you mean?” Qin Yun started his rhinestone-encrusted aircraft. He set up automatic tracking, put on his field uniform and stood waiting at the entrance of the palace.

       “System initialisation!” Tristana explained irritably, “It seems someone has revamped the system, setting it back to its initial mode, restoring the original permissions from decades ago… Damn it! Only the earliest members of the cabinet and the royal family can access these. Berlin, Helu… Damn it! Helu is dead! What do we do?!!”

       “…” Qin Yun also wanted to know what to do. He could guess with his toes that it was Berlin who was responsible, and he even got angry, “What on earth does she want to do? Is she going through menopause after all the tossing? “

       Tristana’s expression was as cold as iron, and she said fiercely, “Her target is Helu’s body. The late emperor has the last bit of primordial sentinel genes in his body. We thought he could rest in peace with it, but now it seems Berlin might have discovered it.”

       “She wants the genes of the god-level Sentinel?” Qin Yun said in disbelief, “What is she thinking?!”

       Tristana took a deep breath, “Chris just detected a space jump, and the destination is Olympus… Berlin, she must have rebelled.”

 

       The temperature in the laboratory was very low, and Berlin was not equipped with any anti-freeze measures. Her breath was filled with mist, and her temples were covered with hoarfrost.

       Helu’s body is preserved in a cryogenic capsule, tranquil as if in a deep sleep, devoid of any signs of life.

       Berlin lowered her head, and she couldn’t help but reach out and touch the other person’s cheek with a gentle look on her face.

       “You haven’t changed. You’re still the same.” Berlin whispered, her tone was low as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping person, “But I’ve aged.” The Iron Lady smiled sarcastically, and she touched her own face. As if startled, she quickly withdrew her hand.

       Berlin was silent for a while and then slowly pushed the capsule onto the conveyor.

       “You always disobey me… Why don’t you accept genetic enhancement? You can obviously become better…” Berlin murmured to herself as if she had thought of something; her expression was a little ferocious, “You would rather create a monster and then destroy everything together with yourself… What is the so-called fairness? You have never been fair to me!”

       Berlin’s chest heaved violently, her emotions flaring as she stared at the person in the capsule, “We can obviously stand at the top of power, but you gave up this opportunity for the sake of damn fairness. Only a fool would put their hopes in the future, and you expect that monster to fulfil your last wish? Ha, it’s simply ridiculous.”

       The space jump indicator light gradually turned on, and Berlin slowly calmed down. Her expression was sad, and her forehead was pressed against the surface of the capsule, “It’s precisely because I’m just an ordinary person that I can appreciate the importance of genetics. Why am I not a guide? You see, even in death, you’re not mine.”

       Time passed by, and when the last jump light came on, Berlin showed a desperate smile. At the same time, the access to the laboratory was suddenly opened. Berlin turned back and stared at the entrance with a face full of surprise.

 

       Bixi maintained the posture of holding the door open, with Qin Yun following closely behind her.

       Berlin was only slightly surprised for a moment, then said nonchalantly, “You guys are late.” She stood up, straightened her messy hair around her temples, and looked at Bixi coldly, “You indeed have the primary access here. Is it something Helu granted you?”

       Bixi had no time to pay attention to her. She practically leapt towards the teleporter and tried to forcefully terminate the transmission, “Power…power!” Bixi completely ignored the broken ice on the cryogenic chamber that pricked her hand and tried with almost all her strength to drag Helu’s body out. When Qin Yun cut off the power supply, it was too late. The huge energy released during the transmission was beyond the physical strength a guide could withstand.

       He had no choice but to drag Bixi out by the waist. The latter’s hands were bloody from the cuts, and he could only watch as Helu’s body disappeared in front of him.

       Berlin looked at all this with cold eyes, and she smiled sarcastically, “Don’t waste your efforts. There is nothing you can do to stop it…”

 

       ‘Pats!’ Bixi raised her hand; her eyes were red, and she looked at Berlin expressionlessly.

       The Iron Lady was struck, causing her to turn her face. Bixi’s palm, stained with blood, left a mark on her cheek.

       “…” Berlin was blindsided by the slap. She covered her face with shaking hands, her eyes full of disbelief, “You…!”

       Bixi didn’t wait for the other person to finish speaking and slapped her again. She was so petite that she almost had to tilt her head to look at Berlin, but when she hit her, she was not holding back at all. Berlin was left crumpled on the ground, looking thoroughly disheveled.

       After nearly half an hour of silent beating, Bixi finally stopped. She gasped condescendingly, her face cold and angry.

       Berlin knelt on the ground tremblingly, holding her head and not daring to say a word.

       “I won’t beat you to death.” Bixi said coldly, “Only when you are alive can you understand what you did wrong. The dead have no chance.”

       Berlin wanted to say something, but when she saw Bixi’s bloody hands, she didn’t have the courage to say anything.

       Bixi gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t tarnish Helu’s feelings with your disgusting selfish desires. Your ambition has nothing to do with Helu. Loving someone isn’t about forcing them to be as good as they want to be.” She paused and choked uncontrollably, “Rather, it’s about wanting to become better.”

       Qin Yun sighed. He hugged his mother from behind and gently stroked her silver hair, “That’s enough, Little Bixi, don’t cry, we will bring Helu back.”

       Bixi didn’t speak. She lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly, but she couldn’t hold back the tears.

 

       When Moschery rushed back, Qin Yun happened to come out of Bixi’s room. He seemed relaxed to finally see His Majesty the Emperor, and opened his arms with a tired smile, “Welcome back.”

       Moschery walked up to him and hugged his guide silently.

       Qin Yun stroked the end of the other party’s slightly longer hair, and after a while, he said, “Little Bixi has never had her own Sentinel. The depletion of her mental energy over the years has taken a toll, and I’m very concerned. I fear she won’t last much longer…”

       Moschery blocked Qin Yun’s mouth somewhat roughly. He held Qin Yun’s face and kissed him gently.

       “What should I do?” Qin Yun covered his eyes, hugged Moschery tightly and whispered, “I feel like I’m going to lose her.”
