       The moment his body entered the zero gravity atmosphere, Qin Yun was knocked over by the air current. Moschery pulled him to his side by the end of the rope and motioned for him to hold on to him tightly.

       Qin Yun hung onto Moschery like an octopus, “Hold, hold me tight!”

       “What’s the fuss now?” Moschery pressed the back of Qin Yun’s head with a strange expression, “We can kiss him after we go down and take off the oxygen mask.”

       “…” Qin Yun was embarrassed to say that he didn’t mean it that way. He was supported by Moschery on the back and gradually rose steadily. When he remembered and looked back at Chen Xiao’s aircraft, the Stallion Balls had turned into a small black ball.

       “Almost there.” Moschery loosened the rope in his hand, pulled out a little distance, and signalled Qin Yun to stand firm.

       “Wah!” Qin Yun looked down at his dangling feet with an expression of disbelief and surprise.

       Moschery stretched the rope tied around their waists a little longer and suggested, “Go run and see.”

       Qin Yun enthusiastically tried to do a few ‘spacewalks’. After feeling that there was no danger at all, he let go and started to have fun.

       Moschery held the other end of the rope steady and watched Qin Yun flapping up and down, left and right, and if he flew too far, Moschery would be responsible for pulling him back by the rope.

       After playing for a long time, Qin Yun found that he was the only one who was happy and felt a little embarrassed. He slid next to Moschery and said cheerfully, “You want to play for a while too? I’ll help you hold it!”

       Moschery glanced at him and said calmly, “No need.”

       Qin Yun: “??”

       Moschery: “I don’t like being toyed around with.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       The spiritual link was not affected by gravity, and Zhongyan’s flying speed was still the same as usual. The huge black dragon almost blended into the night sky, and its outstretched wings were like cloud curtains, covering the bright stars.

       Qin Yun imitated Moschery’s movements and laid ‘flat’ in space. The stars above his head were magnificent, and even the nebulae farther away could be clearly seen.

       “This is more beautiful than the one in Cyprus.” Qin Yun sighed. Zhongyan had already laid down next to him as if he was afraid of Qin Yun being cold; he stretched out one of his wings to cover him.

       “Don’t fall asleep.” Moschery kicked his sleepy guide.

       Qin Yun made a muffled sound and said with slurred speech, “It’s okay… there’s enough oxygen, right?”

       Moschery remained silent. He reached out and intermittently applied pressure to Qin Yun’s neck, ensuring that he didn’t completely fall asleep.

       “Don’t you want to try and ride a dragon?” Moschery suddenly said, “It’s not far from the atmosphere. We can ride back… and fly in the clouds.”

       Half-awake Qin Yun suddenly finally regained some energy. He climbed onto the dragon’s back clumsily and patted the position in front of him, “Come up quickly, I’ll take you!”

       Moschery: “…You sit in front!”

 

       After returning to the atmosphere, Qin Yun wanted to imitate Moschery and remove the oxygen mask, but the latter did not agree.

       “It’s too high; it’s better to carry it with you.” Moschery pointed in the general direction and let Zhongyan fly wherever he wanted. The Sissy Dragon was indeed peculiar, choosing thick and large cloud layers to fly through. It opened its mouth wide and passed through the clouds from the middle. In no time, the two riders on the dragon’s back were soaked from head to toe.

       Qin Yun: “…can it see the road when it’s in the clouds?”

       “Did you look at the road when you hit the wall?” Moschery glanced at him, “The more you hit the wall, the more you’ll get used to it. Stop the nonsense.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Just after hitting countless cloud walls, a large and gorgeous meteor shower suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yun’s eyes. The trailing star tails pierced the sky like burning flames, illuminating the dark curtain of the night, and Qin Yun’s eyes widened, his mouth half-open as he tilted his neck in a dazed manner.

       Moschery asked Zhongyan to stop on a huge cloud.

       The meteor shower was vast in scale, and although Zhongyan wasn’t very close to it, Qin Yun still had the illusion that the stars might fall directly onto him.

       “Blessed by God of Love, the best stargazing spot in the imperial capital located in Cyprus is below.” Moschery said calmly, “It’s still a little far away from us now, so you don’t have to worry about being hit.”

       Qin Yun finally came to his senses. He looked at the emperor with a complicated expression, “…Do you know there will be a meteor shower today?”

       Moschery didn’t say anything, probably because he was tired of being stared at. The sentinel pushed his guide’s face away roughly, “Shut up and look at your stars.”

       Qin Yun giggled foolishly for a while, but after a while, he still couldn’t hold it back, “Since when did you start planning this? It took a long time to find this location, didn’t it?”

       Moschery lazily propped up his head, making it clear that he had no intention of answering.

       Qin Yun babbled, “Don’t be shy…” but no longer pressed for an answer.

       Zhongyan occasionally extended its claws as if trying to catch the tails of the shooting stars. In the thick ink-like night sky, the nebulae formed a colourful and radiant stream of light, decorating the darkness and falling upon the people nestled together.

 

       It seemed that no matter whether it was the beginning of the universe or the end of the world, they would never be separated.

 

       Yuanbao lay on Skarter’s shoulder, and Lin Dongliang sat cross-legged next to him, with the head of the king’s crocodile resting on his knees. The terrace where they stayed was the honeymoon presidential suite in Cyprus, the best place to watch the meteor shower.

       Lin Dongliang looked at the meteors flying in the sky and was a little surprised, “How did you find this place?”

       It was no wonder he would ask so. Although his childhood sweetheart could grow to love others, he didn’t seem to have many romantic cells. Perhaps because his spiritual link was a cold-blooded animal, even the owner’s physical condition was somewhat peculiar, such as being excessively sensitive to the cold in winter and having poor heat dissipation in summer, he would prefer to stay indoors and not go out all year round.

       The temperature in Cyprus was very low at night. Skarter found a thick cotton coat out of nowhere, folded his hands like an old man and put them in his sleeves.

       “I looked at His Majesty’s itinerary.” Skarter’s voice buzzed with a thick nasal tone, “He made an itinerary for watching the meteor shower… As expected, he is planning to take Qin Yun to see it.”

       Lin Dongliang opened his mouth, “…His Majesty’s boyfriend power is very high.”

       Skarter took out a roll of paper and started to blow his nose, “It’s not just high, it’s MAX. I even took a peek at his detailed itinerary map, from the schedule to the best viewing spots… He also drafted the scene dialogue. Even his dragon has a role to play.”

       Lin Dongliang: “…”

       Skarter: “Even on a secret mission, he never forgets to arrange a date casually.”

       Lin Dongliang was speechless, “Does Chen Xiao know?”

       “He’s probably just being used.” Skarter held the red panda into his arms like a hot water bag, “He played the super-sized lightbulb¹unwanted third guest number one in His Majesty’s script.”

       Lin Dongliang: “…”

 

       Chen Xiao sneezed hard in the c0ckpit of the Stallion Balls. He was muttering in his mind, wondering if the lingering canon lass was cursing him again.

       “Are those two people back?” Chen Xiao asked his men.

       A small crew member replied, “Seems on their way back. Do you need to pick me up?”

       Chen Xiao thought for a while and called out, “Ali.”

       The bald burly man whose name was called turned around. He was only wearing a tank top, and his exposed skin was covered in large tattoos.

       “Go and help pull down the rope.” Chen Xiao ordered, “By the way, tell them that a merchant ship from Olympus will pass by in the early morning, and there is very important news on it.”

 

       When Qin Yun first entered the aircraft observatory, he saw Ali holding the rope.

       “You’re here to help?” Qin Yun smiled and waved to greet, but Ali did not respond. He concentrated on tightening the rope so that Qin Yun could land safely.

       Different from his bad and rough appearance, Ali was a silent and gentle person. He held him steady before stepping forward to untie his oxygen mask and hand over the warm clothes he had prepared.

       “Thank you.” Qin Yun trembled and hastily fumbled to put on the clothes. Without Zhongyan’s wings to block the wind and unable to always rely on Moschery’s embrace, it was truly exceptionally cold for a while.

       “Chen Xiao asked you to come?” Moschery took off the rope around his waist, “What’s the mission?”

       Ali repeated Chen Xiao’s words.

       Moschery pondered for a while and asked, “How to get on the other party’s ship.”

       Ali: “Unsurprisingly, it must be a theft.”

       This answer seemed to be within Moschery’s expectation, but Qin Yun didn’t understand, “Theft? What to steal?”

       Ali glanced at him, with a faint smile on the fierce man’s face, “Treasure, news, people… there is nothing we cannot steal.”

       Qin Yun: “Aren’t you… a merchant ship?”

       “It’s a merchant ship.” Ali said, “But we also have a more famous name.” He lowered his head and pointed to the tattoo of a five-pointed star on the back of his neck, “Star Thief.”

       Although Olympus formed its own alliance in the middle of Helu’s period, the government did not prohibit trade and passage between the two regions. The merchant ships were no longer under the jurisdiction of the government and operated independently. Apart from safety measures in the ports, each region developed its own system, relying on its capabilities to earn a living.

       Moschery wore a black eyepatch over one eye. He wore ordinary field camouflage, and his military boots were still muddy.

       “We board the merchant ship at two o’clock in the afternoon. What is it called… Horse, Horse…” Qin Yun frowned. He was holding the list of merchant ships leaving the port that day and trying to find the one they wanted to board.

       “Stallion Balls,” Moschery called out the name of the ship with an expressionless face. He glanced at the list in Qin Yun’s hand with disdain, “You don’t have to look for it. You will recognise it at a glance.”

       Qin Yun: “Are you close with the captain…”

       Moschery: “No one wants to be close with him.”

       Qin Yun: “?”

       Moschery said with a gloomy face, “That idiot can always embarrass you all the time.”

 

       After noon, there were obviously fewer merchant ships at the port, but the goods began to become more and more miscellaneous. Qin Yun even saw a few Flame Crocodiles tied up and locked in cages and transported below the deck.

       Qin Yun bit the hot dog. He opened a cup of coffee nutrient solution for Moschery and slurred as he asked, “What is the purpose of catching the Flame Crocodile? Is there a zoo open in the capital?”

       “There are two circuses over in Area C.” Moschery glanced at the dark ‘coffee’ and said, “I want creamer.”

       Qin Yun took out his backpack and asked, without raising his head, “How many do you want?”

       “8…” Moschery thought for a moment: “No, 10.”

       “…” Qin Yun: “…Give me this cup, and I’ll buy you another cup of pure milk.”

       The two of them finished 14 hot dogs, 12 cups of nutrient solution, including 5 cups of coffee flavor and 7 cups of pure milk…

       Moschery looked contemptuous, “You actually ate 8 hot dogs… Are you a pig?”

       “…How dare you talk to me like that?” Qin Yun counted the milk cans, “800CC per cup of milk, and you drank 7 cups… 5600CC?!”

       Qin Yun said in disbelief, “You have never drank so much before, so you drink so much…”

       “…Shut up!” Moschery said viciously.

 

       Qin Yun was replacing all the coffee with pure milk at the supply station when he saw a huge merchant ship docking not far away. The supply robot mechanically counted the cans, “28, 29, 30… Confirm? Confirm?”

       Qin Yun came to his senses. He counted and felt that 10 cans a day should be enough for the Emperor to drink. Then he started packing. He observed the merchant ships that had just entered the port out of the corner of his eye.

       According to the rules, the spaceship must register its name at the port before landing. Just as he was about to check, he saw a large speaker slowly extending from the skylight on the top of the ship.

       “Stallion Balls!” A hoarse male voice came from the loudspeaker, “I’ve acquired such a good name, and every time, you have to keep asking and asking! Can’t you remember it, damn it?!”

       Qin Yun: “…” Now he finally understood what Moschery meant when he said there was no need to look for it…

 

       Chen Xiao stood on the deck with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, long legs and long arms. He had a typical oriental appearance, a pair of slender peach blossom eyes. His hairstyle was a standard crew cut, and just below the corner of his mouth, near the chin, there was a mole that was easily overlooked by others.

       He was a little surprised when he saw Qin Yun behind Moschery and said with a smile, “Where’s the canon lass? She didn’t come along?”

       Moschery had a headache, “Why would she be here? To argue with you every day?”

       Chen Xiao shrugged, “Most of the time, I give in to her.”

       Moschery couldn’t be bothered with this and motioned for Qin Yun to follow him.

       Chen Xiao’s Stallion Balls was no smaller than the Imperial Starship. As soon as Qin Yun entered, he saw a golden statue of Guan Yu¹Guan Yu, courtesy name Yunchang, was a Chinese military general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China with an incense burner placed in front of it.

       “Old rules.” Chen Xiao raised his chin, “You can only go in after bowing three times and placing incense sticks.”

       Qin Yun: “…They still believe this?!”

       Moschery just pretended not to see it.

       Qin Yun had no choice but to light the incense himself. When she was about to pray, she saw Moschery standing motionless next to him.

       “You’re not going to pay respect?” Qin Yun couldn’t help but ask.

       Moschery had a ‘you think I’m you’ face.

       “…” Qin Yun kowtowed three times in frustration. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard Moschery say: “You can kowtow for me also.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       The Stallion Balls ship was the only merchant ship with its own armoury. Chen Xiao arranged for his men to unload the cargo at the port, and he took Moschery and Qin Yun down to the bottom of the ship.

       “I didn’t bring many weapons this time. I heard you didn’t bring Dragon Scale?” Chen Xiao opened some ventilation, “What, it doesn’t fit?”

       Moschery casually raised a long sword mounted on the wall and swung it left and right twice, “The Dragon Scale are too obvious a target and easily recognised.”

       Chen Xiao nodded, “That’s true.” As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a ‘clang’ sound. The sword Moschery just took was almost dragged to the ground by Qin Yun, and he could barely lift the hilt.

       “?!” Qin Yun: “Why is it so heavy?!”

       Chen Xiao: “…this thing weighs nearly 40 kilograms, don’t you know?”

       Qin Yun fainted, “How could I know!”

       “Something is not right. Dragon Scale weighs 50 kilograms…” Chen Xiao was stunned. He looked at Moschery in disbelief, “He is the guide?!”

       Moschery took the sword from Qin Yun’s hand, raised his arm, and hung it back on the wall easily, “If not, who do you think?”

       “He smells like a sentinel, so I thought he was one of your guards.” Chen Xiao said frantically. He suddenly sniffed, “Wait…the pheromones on him are yours?!”

       Moschery’s face was full of ‘You’ve got taste. I’ll give you credit for knowing the truth’ as he wore a smug but affectionate expression…

       Chen Xiao said sadly and angrily, “Didn’t we agree to be lonely little angels for each other before?! You traitorous dog!”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       In addition to cold weapons, there were also many other firearms and ammunition in the armoury. Qin Yun set aside a bag specifically for his commonly used items. As for what caught Moschery’s eye, he had no expectations of Qin Yun carrying it for him.

       Chen Xiao had a resentful face from beginning to end. He helped the two of them pack their weapons and muttered, “Remember what you said before, huh? Who’s the badass claiming that he will die and say that he will definitely die alone? Damn, I’m fvcking dumb to actually believed you…”

       Qin Yun asked Moschery cautiously, “What happened to you guys before… Did he have as much trouble finding a guide as you did?”

       Moschery loaded the gun in his hand with a ‘click’ and said with a cold expression, “His 100% matching guide is Tristana, but these two people hate each other extremely much, so they can only communicate and bicker from afar without meeting each other.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

       “Tristana once piloted the Crested Ibis and fought with Stallion Balls on the sixth line for a day and a night.” Moschery recalled with squinted eyes, “First, they started by arguing over the loudspeakers, and then Tristana fired the cannons. Of course, Chen Xiao did the same, but neither of them dared to open the cabin doors and fight face-to-face. I guess they were afraid of hitting the bed.”

       Qin Yun wiped his sweat, “They also went all out in their own way, huh…”

 

       Chen Xiao came down from the ladder carrying a long gun and said with a gloomy face, “Don’t think I can’t hear you.”

       Moschery’s expression changed slightly. He quickly raised the muzzle of the gun, pointed it at the opponent and pulled the trigger. Chen Xiao raised his spear, but there was no big movement. The bullet made a big turn and flew out from Qin Yun’s head.

       Chen Xiao pointed the finger at Moschery, raised his eyebrows and said, “Want to practice a few rounds?”

       “As long as you’re not afraid of getting beaten.” Moschery threw the gun into Qin Yun’s bag. He finally picked a sword about the same length as the Dragon Scale and tied it behind his back.

 

       When Stallion’s Ball left the port, Qin Yun couldn’t help but follow Chen Xiao and Moschery to the observatory on the top floor of the spaceship. Through the huge transparent protective cover above his head, he could clearly see the bright nebulae in the night sky.

       Chen Xiao released his spiritual link, a massive Haast Eagle with its wings spread out to 3 meters long, and its black and white feathers were smooth and shiny.

       This beautiful male eagle, clearly kept in captivity for a while, almost impatiently flew towards the curtains, circling about five or six times before slowly gliding into a low-altitude dive.

       “Jifeng.” Chen Xiao shouted as he stretched out his arm, and the eagle flapped its wings and landed on it.

       “Do you want me to give up the territory and let your dragon come out for some air?” Chen Xiao moved the Haast Eagle to his shoulder. The eagle looked at Qin Yun and Moschery curiously, and its sharp beak occasionally combed a few feathers from its wings.

       “It’s a little too small here.” Moschery looked around and pointed at the protective shield above his head, “You can just remove it.”

       Chen Xiao rolled his eyes, “So many requests… I will prepare ropes and spacesuits for you. If you want to stay overnight, an oxygen mask will not be enough.”

       Before Qin Yun could react to the conversation between the two of them, Moschery forced him into a spacesuit. The Emperor personally tied a rope around their waists and buckled the oxygen mask on Qin Yun’s face.

       “We’ll probably be about a kilometre away from the ship shortly.” Moschery’s voice reached Qin Yun’s ears via Bluetooth, “Just relax, and I will keep your balance.”

       Qin Yun asked nervously, “Do you… want to ride a dragon in space?”

       Moschery thought for a while and said in a rare gentle tone, “If you want to, it’s not impossible.”

---

The author has something to say:
The spacesuit is designed to be lightweight, so there’s no significant barrier when hugging or embracing each other. It’s not cumbersome either. I’ve noticed that I really enjoy writing scenarios like taking you to see meteor showers (or stars)… it’s just so enchanting. It makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

---

Notes:
It took me a while to decide on Chen Xiao’s ship name, if any of you come here after reading the manhua, you’ll see the manhua translator said that the name of the ship 马了个鸡鸡, means a 马了 = slang for taken away and (个)鸡鸡 = pen-s/d1ck/c0ck (it can also mean balls as in testicles)
But after some research, I found that some zhidao page said 马了 can also mean a slang for leaving a bookmark. In a way, the ship name might be just an excuse for Chen Xiao to swear or make people swear as they announced his ship’s arrival (๑*ᗜ*)
Looking at the other ship name the Crested Ibis, I feel like the ship might not mean a slang and maybe that’s just simply a horse/stallion instead of some slang, so after receiving some advice from Bean, I decided to settle on Stallion Balls

Sorry for the long note!

       Shen Zhuofan took out a few of the fattest cats and then used the cat teasing stick to lead them to jump up and down. He looked at Qin Yun who was unable to help because his hand was injured and was in a daze, and couldn’t help but ask, “How is it going between you and His Majesty? Is the training still going smoothly?”

       Qin Yun was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He scratched the back of his head and said, “Ah, not bad.”

       Shen Zhuofan glanced at him suspiciously, “It’s not going well?”

       “It’s not that…” Qin Yun said with some frustration, “Although I am not a high-level guide, I have always been very confident in my mental strength. I was never so tired when I went to the front line before.” He shook his injured hand, “Yet I still managed to turn myself like this.”

       “…” Shen Zhuofan sighed, “I graduated as the representative¹some sort the top of the class[/mrn] of guide in Averio eight years ago, you know that, right?”

       Qin Yun nodded.

       “At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and was not yet able to govern…” Shen Zhuofan said with a smile on his face, “I worked for the royal family after graduation. At first, I just wanted to see if I could help guide His Majesty’s consciousness, learn etiquette, fencing, horsemanship, and diplomacy. But later, I found it to be impossible… I couldn’t even see His Majesty’s spiritual link. The guiding tendrils would be suppressed when they got close to him. If forcefully breached, it would only suffer a backlash from the god-level mental power, and collapse.”

       “Although, you are just a loser in the academy.” Shen Zhuofan blinked narrowly, “But you are actually much more powerful than you think.”

       Qin Yun: “…… If you’re going to compliment, do it thoroughly, why do you need to add the first sentence.”

       Shen Zhuofan flicked his teasing stick. He looked at Qin Yun’s depressed face and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

 

       When Qin Yun returned to the military headquarters, Sennas was poking his paramecium spiritual link with a branch. He saw him greeting lazily, “Hi, buddy, did you have fun with your little lover?”

       Qin Yun stretched out his bandaged hand angrily, “Didn’t see that I’m injured, how can I play with my little lover.”

       “You are really calling someone your little lover.” Sennas complained sourly, “You have a sentinel.”

       “It’s useless to have a sentinel.” Qin Yun glanced at his paramecium and said depressedly, “Even if it’s a small one, you still have it… I don’t even have one… I can’t stimulate bonding heat, and I’m not even qualified to be fvcked. “

       Sennas choked and said sympathetically, “…Your analogy kind of makes sense.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Moschery opened the low-level training room, and he saw Qin Yun holding a bow on his back.

       “No need to bring it with you.” Moschery frowned, “Just stay with me.”

       Qin Yun: “…Why did you choose the low-level training room? Brush up on your time-limit record?”

       Moschery took a deep breath. He deeply felt that good intentions were being treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs¹with ill intent, he was sulking coz Qin Yun thought he was just being mean. He almost had to grit his teeth to keep himself from losing his temper, “I saw that you were injured, so I just found a simple exercise. You don’t understand?”

       “Then let me practice…what are you practising for?” Qin Yun asked inexplicably, “Practising how to beat children?”

       Moschery: “…”

       Of course, no children were beaten in the end. Moschery sent Heavy Flame to stomp on the waves of slime monsters released, and Qin Yun didn’t even need to use guiding tendrils. He just waved the glow stick, the dragon’s favourite, a few times on the side.

       “What are we here for?” Qin Yun yawned boredly. When he saw Zhongyan turning around, he quickly waved the light stick in his hand.

       Moschery lay next to him, eyes closed, just pretending to be asleep.

       “Hey.” Qin Yun called him, “Didn’t you say you want to practice cooperation?”

       “Isn’t this training?” Moschery turned over impatiently and faced Qin Yun, “You go practice with Zhongyan.”

       “…” Qin Yun rolled his eyes and threw a light stick into Moschery’s hand, “Then what are you doing?”

       Moschery supported his head and stared into Qin Yun’s eyes. He juggled the light stick in his hand, and stretched out one end to lift Qin Yun’s chin, “I’m just watching you.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

       Moschery didn’t seem to see the reaction he wanted and curled his lips in boredom. He took back the light stick as if nothing had happened, and patted Qin Yun’s leg, “Give me some cushion.”

       “Oh…” Qin Yun stretched out his legs stiffly and used them as a pillow for the Emperor.

       Moschery closed his eyes and hugged the other person’s waist naturally.

       “…” Qin Yun felt as if the lower body no longer belonged to him.

 

       Zhongyan continued to happily step on the slime monster not far away. It was like an old hen chasing her chicks, flapping its wings while running. Qin Yun looked down at Moschery, who was sleeping quietly on his lap and couldn’t bear it. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to trace the outline of the other person’s face.

       “We will go to Eta Star in a few days.” Moschery closed his eyes and said suddenly, “If you changed your mind… I won’t force you.”

       Qin Yun frowned, “Why would I change my mind? You don’t want me to accompany you?”

       Moschery opened his eyelids and looked at him quietly, “This may be more dangerous than you think.”

       “Then I have to go even more.” Qin Yun said righteously, “If I don’t go with you, who will guide you?”

       “…” Moschery’s face darkened, “Who is protecting whom?”

       Qin Yun waved his hand indifferently, “It’s the same…guide and sentinel should protect each other, just like Shen and Arthur…”

       Moschery interrupted with a cold face, “I won’t let that happen to you.”

       “I know.” Qin Yun smiled, “But I still envy them.”

       Moschery gave him a strange look, “There’s nothing to envy in being so miserable.”

       Qin Yun: “…” Are you really the owner of a girly-hearted dragon spiritual link?!

 

       Moschery felt that Arthur’s love life was miserable, and he definitely meant it. Skarter’s comment on this was, “Your Majesty, you have no idea of ​​the noble sentiment of sacrificing for the one you love deeply.”

       Moschery had a look on his face that said, “What the hell? It is so stupid. Letting someone you love sacrifice for you is something only a loser would do.”

       “…” Skarter felt dissatisfied, “But Your Majesty, you have to admit that it is very romantic!”

       Moschery scoffed, “What’s the point of romance when you lose your wife.”

       Skarter found that he couldn’t refute…

       “Okay.” He decided to gossip about other things, “Are you sure you really want to bring that little sweetheart with you this time?”

       “Do I bring you if I don’t bring him?” Moschery asked rhetorically, “It’s going to make Lin Dongliang cry.”

       The general felt very helpless being the subject of the gossip, “Then you can let me and the Secretary of State go. After all, we are deeply uneasy about having you personally involved in danger.”

       “Pull back.” Moschery said coldly, “Do you think I don’t know that you have booked a round-trip honeymoon trip for two to Cyprus?”

       Skarter: “…”

       Moschery waved his hand, “Naturally, there’s a good reason why you’re not allowed to go.”

       Skarter: “Actually, Tristana can also…”

       Moschery: “Do you know whose ride I hitched for this trip to Eta Star?”

       Skarter thought for a while and asked cautiously, “…It can’t be Chen Xiao’s, right?”

       “Exactly his.” Moschery crossed his arms with a look of disgust on his face, “Do you think I can endure the non-stop bickering and banter that’s almost like flirting between the two of them all day long?”

       Skarter: “…”

       Zhongyan’s huge wings were like two scimitars in the night sky. Moschery held the sleeping Qin Yun in his arms and rode silently on the dragon’s back. The guide’s body temperature was high, and the blood stains on his ten fingers were soaked into the bandages. The young emperor frowned. The young emperor furrowed his brow, tightening his cloak around the other person.

       Skarter’s holographic image appeared on the communication device, and his expression was a little helpless, “Your Majesty, it has been 72 hours, and Mrs. Berlin is in your study.”

       “Where’s Lin Dongliang?” Moschery asked after a moment of silence.

       “He’s not in good health.” Skarter sighed, “Just fell asleep.”

       Moschery glanced at his general with distrust but did not pursue the matter. He issued a series of instructions to open the training room in half an hour as he carried Qin Yun, “Call a guide doctor for me and take good care of him. “

       Skarter took off his military cap and bowed slightly, saying respectfully, “As you command, Your Majesty.”

 

       Berlin dressed strictly and almost rigidly no matter when and where. She wore black and grey skirts all year round to the point that every time Tristana saw her, she couldn’t help but wonder if Berlin had colour blindness.

       She sat leisurely in Moschery’s study and sipped tea without any awe in the face of those in power. To a certain extent, she did indeed watch this emperor grow up.

       “You seem to be very busy recently.” Berlin greeted with a smile. The creases on her skin did not lighten because of this smile. On the contrary, even the corners of her eyes wrinkled as she smiled, “I heard that you seem to have a favourite guide?”

       “I remember Madam taught me when I was a child.” Moschery looked at her coldly as if recalling it and said, “Never believe in groundless rumours.”

       Mrs. Berlin bowed gracefully, “Forgive me for the offence, Your Majesty.”

       Moschery didn’t say any comment. He held the cloak that had just been wrapped around Qin Yun in his hand. The warmth and smell of his guide still remained on it. The Emperor was a little absent-minded, and he obviously didn’t want to waste too much time with this iron lady.

       Berlin cleared her throat, “Next month is the graduation ceremony of Averio Academy high-level guide. I wonder if Your Majesty will have time to attend.”

       “Next month, huh…” Moschery said calmly, “I have made an appointment with Duke Arthur to go hunting on G Star… You should also know that our mania always needs help from the outside world to suppress it.”

       Although she was born as an ordinary person, Mrs. Berlin knew better than anyone how terrifying a sentinel’s mania was. She recalled the last attempt to provide Moschery with mental guiding, only for Paulie to be nearly overwhelmed by his god-tier psychic force rebounding against her. Her complexion wasn’t very reassuring. That was also the first time she realised Moschery wasn’t like the weak Helu of the previous generation; his god-tier genes were too powerful for any guide to control him.

       “The guide who made the spiritual mark with you last time… That person can’t do it too?” Berlin asked tentatively, “Maybe we can find and nurture the person, maybe…”

       Her words stopped abruptly, and Moschery’s cold eyes were like a sharp knife against her throat, forcing her to open her mouth in vain but unable to make a sound.

       “It’s getting late.” After an unknown amount of time, Moschery suddenly stood up and said that. He walked behind Mrs. Berlin and personally opened the door to the study. The mask on half of his face was hidden in the shadows, obscure and unclear. “For the sake of your personal safety, it’s better to return earlier.”

 

       Qin Yun woke up in a blur, feeling someone watching him. Subconsciously, he called out, “Xi Zhao?” only to realise that he had mistaken the person.

       Lin Dongliang sat on the edge of his bed and looked at him with a gentle expression, “Are you awake?”

       Of course Qin Yun knew the Secretary of State of the Empire. He subconsciously wanted to get out of bed and salute, but suddenly, he saw his hands that were bandaged like two pig’s trotters.

       “…” Qin Yun blushed and said in embarrassment, “I really… I’m so sorry for my rudeness.”

       Lin Dongliang laughed, “You are too polite.” He gently removed Qin Yun’s bandage and reapplied the medicine. When he was pulling the cotton with tweezers, a big furry tail suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

       Qin Yun stared carefully for a while. The tail moved and then slowly exposed its two ears.

       He and the beast stared at each other for a long time before Lin Dongliang suddenly reacted. He was a little embarrassed and said, “Ah… I lost a little mental power earlier, so I couldn’t control Yuanbao and let it out…”

       Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuanbao shaking its big tail, running a few steps with its short legs, and jumping onto Qin Yun’s back with a strong movement.

       Qin Yun didn’t even dare to move, “…”

       Lin Dongliang probably didn’t expect that his spiritual link would become so bold. He was hesitating whether to go up and pick up Yuanbao or just let it stay like this when Skarter walked in.

       “Hey, you’re awake.” Skarter smiled, his expression really warm and kind, but Qin Yun didn’t feel relaxed at all. He stiffly lowered his head and happened to see a huge king crocodile behind him, staring intently at the little red panda riding on his back.

       Yuanbao’s big tail trembled, and it was too late when he wanted to escape back to Lin Dongliang. The long snout of the king crocodile accurately caught the red panda’s neck fur. Yuanbao flailed his four small claws but couldn’t get away. In the end, as if he could only feel discouraged, he trembled and covered his eyes.

       “Okay, Zong.” Although Skarter tried to persuade him, he just lazily leaned against the wall with his arms folded, “Be gentle, don’t scare it.”

       The king crocodile released its mouth and wrapped its tail around Yuanbao in a domineering manner. He lay on the ground and closed his eyes. The little red panda secretly opened its eyes and, attempting to move the crocodile’s tail, ended up pressing itself underneath instead. Its little belly turned upwards but couldn’t flip over.

       “…” Qin Yun couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you need to help them?”

       Lin Dongliang covered his face, not sure whether he felt embarrassed or couldn’t bear to see it.

       The king crocodile, who was pretending to be asleep, opened one of his eyelids, swept his tail, and took the red panda into his arms…

       Skarter said with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry, they usually like to play like that.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Lin Dongliang reapplied the bandage on Qin Yun’s hands. Yuanbao was finally tired of ‘playing’ and slept in the arms of the king crocodile. However, he seemed to be dreaming about something, his little face bulging out and his mouth gnawing on the other’s tail.

       Skarter didn’t seem to mind his spiritual link being ‘bitten’ at all. He looked at Lin Dongliang and said, “Your Majesty will be here soon, you’d better go and rest first.”

       Lin Dongliang hesitated and glanced at Qin Yun.

       “In terms of mental power.” Lin Dongliang asked worriedly, “Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?”

       Qin Yun shook his head quickly and stretched out his bandaged hands, “It’s just a light trauma. There’s nothing wrong with my brain.”

       Lin Dongliang nodded. He bent down to pick up Yuanbao, only to find that the red panda was biting the king’s crocodile’s tail tightly and refused to let go, with a glistening circle of saliva at the corner of its mouth.

       “Let Zong carry it.” Skarter gestured to the king crocodile to curl its tail around the red panda’s body. He greeted Qin Yun, “You can continue to sleep. His Majesty will be accompanying you soon.”

       When Qin Yun first heard the words ‘accompany you’, his heart skipped a beat. He didn’t know whether he was blushing or not. When he turned his head, he saw Skarter carrying Lin Dongliang in a princess style as if no one else was present.

       “…” Qin Yun felt a bit disheartened, thinking that compared to his own slight excitement just now, they were so much more skilled at showing affection…

 

       After lying alone in bed, Qin Yun fell asleep again soon. Qin Yun felt as if he had had a dream in which someone carefully stroked his face.

       “Xi Zhao?” Qin Yun muttered drowsily.

       “I’m here.” He heard the other person reply.

       Moschery got into bed and hugged him tightly, “Let’s sleep a little longer.”

       Qin Yun let out a ‘Hng’. He was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes. He asked with some uncertainty, “…Is Zhongyan in bed?”

       “…” Moschery glanced at the innocent-looking black dragon lying at the end of the bed, “It’s here.”

       “No wonder…” Qin Yun muttered, “I was wondering if you should lose weight.”

       Moschery: “…”

       In the old century hundreds of years ago, cold weapons¹A cold weapon is a weapon that does not involve fire or explosions as a result from the use of gunpowder or other explosive materials. Ranged weapons that do not require gunpowder or explosive materials and melee weapons are cold weapons, including edged weapons, clubs, spears, slings, bows, and crossbows were almost completely replaced by other weapons. Now, cold weapons had once again become the best choice for sentinels, such as the leather armour of giant beasts such as Flame Crocodiles and Mammoths and the cannons and guns of ordinary humans damage it at all.

       The length of the dragon-scaled sword was nearly two meters long. It was heavy and sharp. Every time Moschery swung it, the wind from the sword could easily knock someone over.

       Qin Yun didn’t dare to get too close to him, but he couldn’t stay too far away. It was very hard to follow him.

       “Not enough.” Moschery gripped the hilt of his sword and stabbed it into the neck of the Flame Crocodile in front of him. The giant beast rolled on the ground and tried to throw the sentinel off its back, but unfortunately, it failed. After struggling for a while, it died.

       “What are you afraid of?” Moschery pulled out the Dragon Scale sword and wiped the blood on the body of the Flame Crocodile nonchalantly.

       Qin Yun held his knees and panted. He wiped the sweat dripping from his chin, “I have only done front-line comfort control before… You should know that most low-level guides are involved in such tasks. What we do is protective work…”

       “Don’t just think about protecting me.” Moschery frowned, “You have to fight with me now, do you understand?”

       Moschery gave him a cold look, “I didn’t give you my back with the intention of leaving it full of holes.”

       Qin Yun had been lectured to no end. He drooped his head weakly.

       “Come here.” Moschery put the tip of his sword against the ground and suddenly ordered, “Kiss me.”

       Qin Yun hesitated for a moment. His mental strength was indeed not enough, so he could only step forward in frustration and hold Moschery’s face.

       His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth very cooperatively, and took his guide’s lips in his mouth gently. He put one hand around Qin Yun’s shoulders and rubbed the back of his neck.

       [You are making rapid progress] Moschery said calmly in Qin Yun’s consciousness [Don’t be too anxious]

       Qin Yun was a little surprised. He silently opened one eye and glanced at Moschery’s expressionless face with his eyes closed. He thought to himself that this guy was really a mensao² outwardly cold or retiring but deep and passionate inside to use such a subtle method to comfort people…

 

       The two of them had enough of milking one another and found a place to hide. Moschery chose the S-level combat mode, with the environment set to a completely primitive battlefield, lasting for 72 hours. The day and night cycles were distinct, and the temperature fluctuations were so extreme that they were downright terrifying.

       Moschery lit a fire, and Zhongyan lay quietly behind him, with the dragon’s head resting on its paws.

       “Besides the Flame Crocodile and Mammoth, what else do they have?” Qin Yun exhaled and rubbed his hands. The previous training sessions were all completed within 24 hours, focusing on enhancing his personal abilities in both attack and control. Today was the first time they were cultivating prolonged coordination between the two.

       Moschery threw a piece of firewood into the fire, “Seventy percent of Eta Star is primaeval forest, so there are many flame crocodiles, mammoths, many-banded krait³some sort of snakes, and giant tigers. The Avian people are good at high-altitude reconnaissance, so we’ll be landing at the edge of the planet and hiking up to their base.”

       “It’s true that classified missions are all difficult to do…” Qin Yun sighed with a grimace. He suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but ask Moschery, “But aren’t you the Emperor… Why do you need to do this kind of thing? “

       Moschery didn’t answer. He inserted the Dragon Scale into the soil beside him with an indifferent expression, looked at Qin Yun and said, “Are you cold?”

       Qin Yun sniffled, “A little bit.”

       “Come to me.” Moschery tore open the outermost coat. He waited patiently for his guide to move over slowly and then pulled him into his arms from behind.

       Qin Yun fell asleep facing the fire. Moschery’s warm palm picked up his bangs and placed them on his forehead. He said in a rare and gentle tone, “You can go to sleep. I will stay watch overnight.”

       Qin Yun hummed ‘Hmm’ as he subconsciously crawled into Moschery’s arms and muttered vaguely, “Is it tiring to be an Emperor?”

       Moschery said calmly, “It’s not easy.”

       Qin Yun: “Then why do you still have to do it… Why bother doing things like this yourself…”

       “Because it’s important.” Moschery thought for a moment and replied, “If I don’t do it, more people will be sacrificed.”

       Qin Yun turned his face sideways and looked at Moschery’s golden-red dragon eyes, which had turned back to their round pupils. The firelight dyed half of his cheeks a warm orange colour.

       Moschery suddenly turned his head, looked at Qin Yun with his normal eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, “What are you looking at?”

       “Nothing…” Qin Yun shook his head, leaning on Moschery’s shoulder and closing his eyes.

       “Is it warm?” Moschery hugged Qin Yun tighter, covering Qin Yun’s chest with one hand, and suggested, “Put your feet over here, and I’ll cover them for you.”

       Qin Yun refused to move. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He felt that his heart was beating faster and faster under Moschery’s palm.

       Warm and yet subtly painful.

 

       He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Qin Yun propped up half of his body, and Moschery’s coat slipped down. Zhongyan lay beside him; the huge dragon’s tail circled him in the middle.

       The spiritual link still showed that the person had not gone far. Qin Yun felt more relieved, wrapped his coat and stood up.

       The forest was cold and gloomy in the dark night, and Zhongyan also woke up. He kept his squatting posture and moved his wings slightly.

       “Xi Zhao?” Qin Yun shouted, but no one answered him.

       Zhongyan snorted a little anxiously and tilted his head towards Qin Yun, meaning to ask him to sit on his back.

       “…” Qin Yun hesitated, “I have never even ridden a horse…”

       Zhongyan scratched the ground with his paws and picked up Qin Yun in his mouth.

       Qin Yun: “Wah wah wah wah! Go fly later!! Wait until I sit down!!”

       The huge black dragon stood up straight, and Qin Yun hugged the other’s neck tightly. When Zhongyan’s wings spread out, there was an illusion that the sky was covered. The airflow around him was like a hurricane, making Qin Yun almost unable to open his eyes.

       Qin Yun looked down at the ground that was gradually moving away and said in shock, “Wow… This is so cool…”

       Zhongyan let out a distant dragon roar, and a flock of birds at the edge of the forest were startled. Qin Yun lowered his head and saw a black shadow moving quickly between the branches.

       “Xi Zhao?!” Qin Yun was overjoyed, “Zhongyan! Fly low! Let Xi Zhao come up!”

       The dragon flattened its wings and stopped rising, trying to glide close to the treetops. Qin Yun did not care about the danger, and almost half of his body was hanging outside as he stretched out his hand to Moschery, who was still running and jumping quickly among the branches, “Xi Zhao! Take my hand! “

       Moschery raised his head. His face was a little blurry in the dark night. He seemed to want to say something. As soon as he opened his mouth, a fish-like winged creature suddenly jumped out from beside him. It opened its huge mouth and bit Qin Yun.

       “Shit!” Qin Yun was startled, but fortunately at the critical moment Zhongyan’s tail whipped over hard, “What is this?! It can fly?!”

       Moschery pulled out the Dragon Scale and made a light leap. The arc of the sword tip pierced the creature between the eyes in a strange way, “Flying Fish Tiger, can’t fly, but they can jump very high. Please pay attention to the height of Zhongyan’s flight. Don’t get too close to me.”

       “Then what about you?” Qin Yun was carried a little higher by Zhongyan. His guiding tendrils could not be stretched that long. Moschery’s speed was much slower than during the day. It was impossible not to be tired from continuous high-intensity combat. The Flying Fish Tiger had an average body size, but its endurance and attack power were not low. Coupled with its cruel and rampant temperament, no sentinel can benefit from a head-on conflict.

 

       While the two were talking, four or five more Flying Fish Tigers jumped up. Moschery held a sword in one hand and jumped up to grab Zhongyan’s dragon claw. The two Flying Fish Tigers that were flanking him ‘collided’ together.

       “…” Qin Yun: “Fortunately, they didn’t have high IQs…”

       Moschery glared at his guide, his feet dangling in the air. The remaining three Flying Fish Tigers kept jumping up and opening their mouths, trying to bite Moschery’s legs. His Majesty the Emperor couldn’t use one hand to attack, and Zhongyan didn’t dare to fly too high for fear of him falling down, and it wouldn’t be to save him.

       Qin Yun was circling around anxiously on the dragon’s back. When he tried to reach out to pull him, the Flying Fish Tiger would stare at him and try to bite him. Before his hand could reach down, only his arm was probably left.

       “Don’t worry about me.” Moschery calmly ordered, “You let Zhongyan fly high. I will go down and deal with them myself.”

       Qin Yun naturally refused, “How are you going down there?! Going straight into the monster’s mouth?!” As soon as he finished speaking, a Flying Fish Tiger jumped up and bit Moschery’s foot.

       The sentinel clicked his tongue, picked up the hilt of the sword and stabbed it hard into the Flying Fish Tiger’s forehead. The beast actually bit hard and stabbed it back and forth a few times before letting go and falling off.

       Qin Yun’s face turned pale, frightened almost to the point of losing half his life. He looked at Moschery’s bloody ankle and asked in a trembling voice, “Are you okay? Does it hurt?”

       “You try to get bitten.” Moschery said angrily, “Don’t act like a woman. I didn’t even scream your name. It’s not that big of a deal.”

       Qin Yun pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew that Xi Zhao was worried because he was concerned, but he felt really uncomfortable in his heart. The smell of blood made the remaining Flying Fish Tiger even more excited. There were many coming from a distance. No matter how he looked at the situation, it wasn’t favourable for them.

       Moschery obviously noticed it too. He frowned and tied the Dragon Scale behind his back with one hand, and assumed a posture ready to jump off, “Listen, fly upward. I’ll catch up later…”

       Before he finished speaking, he saw Qin Yun standing up from the dragon’s back unsteadily.

       “…” Moschery was confused, “What are you doing?”

       Qin Yun didn’t speak. His expression was cold and solemn. He was holding the long bow that was like a decoration in his hand and stretched the bowstring into a full moon, holding a golden ‘arrow’ condensed with spiritual power between his two fingers.

       Another Flying Fish Tiger jumped up high and opened its big mouth to bite Moschery. Before sentinel could draw his sword, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came to his ears. Qin Yun’s ‘arrow’ accurately shot through the Flying Fish Tiger’s throat.

 

       The night sky, crafted by digital means, was adorned with stars, and the sickly pale crescent moon hung in the air. Moschery looked up at Qin Yun, standing tall on Zhongyan’s back, and for a while, couldn’t find the words to speak.

       His guide expression did not relax at all, and he quickly straightened the bow again, with the golden ‘arrow’ firmly on the string.

       “Climb up, Xi Zhao.” Qin Yun ordered without looking back. As he spoke, he had already shot three arrows in succession, each of which hit the enemy’s vital points. The Flying Fish Tiger that was originally jumping up and down on the treetops were killed. They were killed in pieces, and they fell down one after another, screaming. They gradually did not dare to come forward anymore, and they were hovering threateningly not far away with a ferocious face.

       The whites of Qin Yun’s eyes had turned completely pure gold. He slowly lowered his arm, only to realise that he was shaking violently. His fingertips were cut by the thin bow string and were almost bloody.

       “That’s enough!” Moschery hugged him from behind, “That’s enough, Qin Yun.”

       “Huh…uh…?” Qin Yun panted. He looked at his hand and said with some difficulty, “There is no more ‘arrow’… There is something blocking my consciousness… I can’t get out…”

       “Look at me, Qin Yun.” Moschery held his guide’s face, and he pressed his lips against him, “You did a good job… Be good. Open your mouth.”

       Qin Yun closed his eyes, and he could feel Moschery’s full and rich pheromones soothing his almost dry mental energy. During the long and gentle kiss, he finally couldn’t help but reach out and grasp the other person’s back tightly.

       When Qin Yun followed Moschery out of the Duke’s mansion, he had not yet regained his senses. After spending half a day with the Emperor to seek assistance, not a single person was recruited…

       “Leaving just like that?” Qin Yun was confused, “What on earth are we here for…”

       Moschery didn’t seem to care about the result and said indifferently, “Come and tease him.”

       “…” Qin Yun: “You two actually have a good relationship…”

       Moschery grabbed him by the neck. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

       His fingertips stroked the side of Qin Yun’s neck, and he could even touch the goosebumps on each other’s skin with his palms, “Arthur and I have never been enemies.”

       Qin Yun: “??”

       Moschery: “You will understand later.” He took his hand away from Qin Yun’s neck and patted the other party’s head gently, “At the very least, we both disagree of the Cabinet or Olympus being overly fixated on god-level matters. They even use it to interfere with the regime, dividing the empire. This is absolutely intolerable.”

       “I would rather the god-level gene be completely terminated in my generation.” Moschery said calmly, “With centralised political power and stable territory, the god-level will forever remain a mere legend, and from now on, will cease to exist.”

       “…” Qin Yun opened his mouth, “…I always thought you were joking when you said you wanted to die alone.”

       Moschery: “…”

       Qin Yun’s expression was one of admiration, “So it’s true…”

 

       Lin Dongliang’s mental power gently wrapped around Shen Zhuofan’s brain nerves, but there was no improvement in the damaged area. He did not stop until he was close to exhaustion.

       “I’d better call Skarter for you.” Shen Zhuofan looked at the almost fainting Lin Dongliang with concern, “You can’t even stand up”

       “It’s even more troublesome if he comes.” Lin Dongliang waved his hand tiredly. He hid Yuanbao, who was already tired and fell asleep and was about to sit down and recover some strength, “What did you just say?”

       “Qin Yun’s adoptive mother.” Shen Zhuofan poured him a glass of water, “One of the best students in the first Averio Guide Academy, and the one who disappeared inexplicably in the end.”

       Lin Dongliang frowned, “All this information is in there. Qin Yun’s background is not a secret.”

       Shen Zhuofan nodded, “Indeed, these can be found, but we have overlooked one thing.”

       Lin Dongliang looked at him.

       Shen Zhuofan: “Why would a SSS guide adopt a child who doesn’t even have a spiritual link?”

 

       “I actually had a pretty rough life.” Qin Yun finished attaching the rhinestones on the Mickey Mouse headband and started putting it on the pillow, “When I was 8 years old, I didn’t have a spiritual link, so my adoptive mother raised me as an ordinary person. I always thought I was just an ordinary person.”

       Moschery snorted hard and said disdainfully, “I have no interest in sanitary pads’ childhood.”

       “I’m trying to comfort you.” Qin Yun couldn’t bear it and said, “This is like indirectly telling you that nothing is absolute. You’re still young; don’t speak of growing old alone in such a tragic way!”

       Moschery was enraged and said, “You learnt to teach me a lesson?!”

       Qin Yun raised his head and said, “I’m just trying to be reasonable… I’m just telling you the truth.”

       Moschery sneered, “Have you forgotten that I am a tyrant? Have you ever seen a tyrant being reasonable?”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Zhongyan was naturally very happy when he saw the newly attached Mickey Mouse headband, but Moschery stopped letting him wear it after entering the training room.

       “You already have two horns, and you still wear this?” Moschery said with a look of disgust on his face, “It’s ugly as hell.”

       Zhongyan’s wings drooped in dejection, and it seemed on the verge of tears. Qin Yun hurriedly comforted it, saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay! Next time, I’ll make you a diamond horn cover! I guarantee it’ll be a hundred times more dazzling and beautiful than this!”

       “…” Moschery simply gave up and wiped his sword with his head down.

       Qin Yun was now proficient in weaving guiding tendrils into a mesh for Zhongyan to wear as ‘battle armour’. After Moschery polished his sword, he saw that his guide had tied a ‘bow’ on one of Zhongyan’s horns. It made the sissy dragon look even more charming, fluttering its wings enthusiastically.

       “…” “…” Moschery continued to endure. He casually knocked over a just-released Flame Crocodile with a swing of his sword…

       Qin Yun re-woven the guiding tendrils into a ‘skirt’ and wrapped it around Zhongyan’s waist, and also decorated the dragon’s tail with a ‘ruffle’. He excitedly called Moschery, “Doesn’t it look good?! Isn’t it cute? It looks so cute!!”

       Moschery held the sword and looked at the person with an expressionless face.

       “…” Qin Yun blinked guiltily. Zhongyan, on the side, stepped on the flame crocodile obediently under Moschery’s gaze. The ‘skirt’ swayed around his buttocks following the movement, and the ‘ruffles’ on the tail fluttered in the wind…

       Moschery took a deep breath, “…Do you really want to make it a Barbie dragon?!”

 

       Even though their personalities were completely different, the master’s mood directly affected the state of the spiritual link, so no matter how angry Moschery appeared, Qin Yun knew that he was not really angry.

       As the two trained together more and more, their tacit understanding became better and better. While controlling Zhongyan, Qin Yun was able to devote his energy to taking care of Moschery’s consciousness cloud and even condensed his mental power into ‘arrows’ when he was idle to attack, although the accuracy was not very good.

       “If you can’t shoot, don’t shoot.” Moschery said sternly, “Your skills are not as good as those of young girls.”

       Qin Yun muttered softly, “Nonsense…women don’t know how to shoot…”

       Moschery roared with a dark face, “Don’t think I can’t hear you!”

       Qin Yun was startled by his roar. His hand shook, and the arrow missed again…

       Moschery cursed trash, and a flame crocodile chased after him from behind the two. Moschery had no choice but to carry Qin Yun and move to another hiding spot.

       Zhongyan was hovering in the sky, warning the two people on the ground about the location of the Flame Crocodile. Occasionally, it would glide down quickly and crush one or two to death with its claws, but this could only be done without the enemy noticing; after all, the fireballs that the Flame Crocodile spewed out to burn it wasn’t a joke.

       “Last time there were 4… this time there were 40…” Qin Yun felt like dying, “I remember there were not even 40 in the entire D Star!”

       Moschery said calmly, “If they are not eliminated within an hour, the system will automatically release 20 mammoths.”

       Qin Yun: “…Do you really want to die together with me that much?”

       Moschery glanced at him, “I can’t help it if you must think so.”

       Qin Yun felt that he was still not as thick-skinned as the emperor, so he simply shut up. He watched Moschery gently draw out the dragon-scale sword and slowly move around to the back of a flame crocodile.

       “You must learn to stimulate my consciousness cloud, not just control it.” Moschery ordered calmly.

       Qin Yun couldn’t help but become nervous. He swallowed, “I’ll try my best…”

       “Try your best?” Moschery clicked his tongue. He suddenly grabbed Qin Yun’s collar and kissed his lips fiercely. After a while, he let go and said, “You have to have such momentum, do you understand?”

       Qin Yun didn’t dare to wipe the saliva from his mouth and stayed there in a daze.

       Moschery asked expressionlessly, “Have you had enough of the pheromones?”

       Qin Yun: “…” Damn it! What idiot would use this method to replenish his guide with pheromones? Isn’t this a trap?!

 

       The Flame Crocodile was cunning and treacherous, and it was a rare type of high intelligence among large creatures. Although the 40 of them were just highly simulated digital monsters, they were taken lightly; one wouldn’t know if they could die in the end.

        Qin Yun was not daring enough to let go of Moschery’s hind legs casually. He followed his sentinel step by step, guiding tendrils to reach into the other party’s consciousness cloud.

 

       The red ‘dragon eye’ on Moschery’s left side narrowed slightly, and the golden pupil stood up in a straight line.

       The Flame Crocodile with its back to them seemed to finally realise the crisis, and its huge tail swept over instantly…

       Qin Yun originally thought that the so-called Duke’s Mansion backyard was really just a garden. However, when he discovered he was facing a vast forest, he was completely bewildered.

       Qin Yun: “…Are you really not considering confiscating this house…This is simply too corrupt.”

       Moschery obviously didn’t want to say another word to a country bumpkin like him.

       Ke Qing led two horses. The emperor turned over and rode on them first. He pulled the reins and turned around to see Qin Yun standing under the horse like a fool.

       “…” Qin Yun: “How could I possibly ride something so antique?!”

       Ke Qing also hadn’t anticipated such a situation. He was just considering whether to bring the haycart over when Moschery whipped the horse’s buttocks with a crack.

       Qin Yun was carried by Moschery by the waist and easily lifted onto the horse’s back.

       Moschery held the reins with both hands, his chin resting on Qin Yun’s head, and said coldly, “Hold me tight.”

       “…” Qin Yun obediently obeyed.

       Moschery’s expression finally looked better, but he still said disgustedly, “Why are you such a trash? What can you do without me?”

       Qin Yun said awkwardly, “Who uses horses in a war now? I can fly the aircraft very smoothly… Before I met you, I was the most powerful guide on the front line. My achievements topping the charts for the whole year weren’t fake either…”

       Moschery snorted coldly. For him, Qin Yun providing mental guiding to other sentinels on the front line was not a pleasant thing.

       “Who sent you to the front line?” Moschery said with a sinister look on his face, “You are a trash. Can’t you just stay in the logistics and write something?!”

       Qin Yun was dissatisfied, “How can a man stay in the rear? That’s what the young girls guide do, besides.” He glanced at Moschery, feeling a little proud, “How could I have met you if I didn’t go to the front line?”

       Moschery’s expression froze. He seemed to be smiling but was trying hard to keep a straight face.

       Qin Yun nestled in his arms, humming a messy tune. The horse walked slowly, and Moschery did not rush.

 

       The small floating clouds in the air were like fluff, the white clouds were like dogs, and the quiet sunlight flowed through the branches, landing on the two of them.

       Qin Yun sang an unknown song and seemed to realise that his melody was wrong. Finally, he could only stop in frustration and muttered, “Forget it. I don’t have this talent in this.”

       Moschery glanced at him, “You know you have no talent, but you still have the nerve to sing.” After that, he sang along with the part where Qin Yun left off.

       Only when the whole song was finished did Qin Yun remember to applaud. He still felt fascinated, “You can actually sing this song… Do you know the name of this song?”

       “Of course I know.” Moschery replied. Arthur’s residence was not far away. The Emperor motioned to Qin Yun to help him put on the mask. He looked down at his guide and said quietly, “Stay with me nicely. I will protect you.”

 

       The first thing Shen Zhuofan did every morning was to shovel poop. Although the technology was now very advanced and there were intelligent robots that could do the job for him, the cats he raised were not convinced. As soon as the robot came close to the poop basin, it would be clawed by various cats. Overturned, the round robot rolled anxiously on the ground, anxiously chanting, “Master, have mercy! Master, have mercy! Shit shovelling! I’m just shit shovelling!”

       Shen Zhuofan: “…”

       He squatted on the ground resignedly and started digging cat litter. He yawned and took out a garbage bag to put it in. As he was busy working, he heard the wind chime ringing at the door of the store.

       “The store isn’t open yet. If you want to see the cat, sit down for a while.” Shen Zhuofan said loudly with his back facing the door. He picked up the garbage bag and turned around to see the person who had come.

       Lin Dongliang took off his hat and nodded with a smile, “Good morning, Zhuo Fan.”

       The Red Panda spiritual link was cautious and shy. Even if the cats couldn’t see it, it only dared to hold Lin Dongliang’s thigh, his big tail resting on his head.

       Shen Zhuofan brought a glass of milk. The red panda’s eyes lit up when it saw him and climbed onto his shoulder with unsteady steps.

       “Yuanbao still likes you so much.” Lin Dongliang said with a smile, “It’s only in your presence that it loses its shyness.”

       Shen Zhuofan also smiled, “Really? Where is it? Is it still on my shoulder?”

       Lin Dongliang didn’t say anything. He took Shen Zhuofan’s hand and ‘stroked’ it along the top of Yuanbao’s head to his tail. Yuanbao narrowed its eyes comfortably and rubbed into Shen Zhuofan’s palm.

       “What a pity.” Shen Zhuofan said regretfully, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.”

       Lin Dongliang said firmly, “There will definitely be a chance to see it again in the future.”

       Shen Zhuofan shook his head. There was nostalgia in his eyes but no hope, “Even you can’t heal my brain nerves…unless there is really a god-level…but how is that possible?”

       Lin Dongliang remained silent, and Shen Zhuofan smiled and comforted him, “The situation at that time was not something that the royal family could protect me from. I don’t blame you. It’s just that in the past few years… is he okay?”

       “Not okay. How can he be okay?” Lin Dongliang smiled bitterly, “Although the Duke hates the Cabinet, he also hates that the royal family did not come forward. I thank God for him being able to remain neutral. Once the sentinel at the SSS level goes into a mania, you know how terrifying it can be. Just how could a stabiliser alone be enough… Although he doesn’t remember you, his preferences have not changed. I heard that the mansion has been replaced by normal people who bear some resemblance to your appearance. He finds solace in seeing them regularly.”

       Shen Zhuofan closed his eyes and said with difficulty, “Didn’t the Cabinet… arrange another high-level guide for him?”

       Lin Dongliang said helplessly, “Why won’t they? Apart from His Majesty, the most popular one is the Duke’s Mansion, but what’s the use?”

       Shen Zhuofan frowned with an unpleasant expression on his face.

       Lin Dongliang: “The guide who went there didn’t even get to see the Duke. He was directly assigned to bathe the lions in the mansion and catch fleas… No one came back without being scared to death.”

       Shen Zhuofan: “…”

       “On the contrary, His Majesty now has a guide…” Lin Dongliang looked at Shen Zhuofan, “Are you familiar with that Qin Yun person?”

 

       Arthur was surrounded by a group of army divisions. He had gorgeous long fiery red hair and deep emerald eyes. His was handsome yet cold. He gripped a long whip and, unlike other high-level sentinels, did not conceal his spiritual link.

       A ferocious lion that was twice the size of an ordinary lion lay quietly at his feet, looking indifferently at the strangers who had invaded the territory.

       “How rare.” Arthur flared his nostrils slightly and flashed a sly smile, “You actually have your own guide. He didn’t go crazy when he was guiding you?”

       The mask on Moschery’s face hid his expression, but it was obvious that he was not happy, “That’s none of your business.”

       Arthur put away his smile. He sat on the ground leaning against a lion and said casually, “Then what are you doing here, Your Majesty.”

       “I’m here to borrow people from you.” Moschery said, “10 high-level sentinels with assassination experience.”

       Arthur’s face turned cold. He stared at Moschery and said sarcastically, “Do you really believe that Eta Star has the so-called god-level guide gene? You are willing to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Cabinet and use my soldiers to help you in action?”

       Moschery said coldly, “I don’t believe it, but I have to find out what Olympus is up to.”

       “Then go on your own, and don’t try to take advantage of my people.” Arthur gritted his teeth. His emerald pupils gradually turned dark red. The brutal lion beside him let out a low roar. Qin Yun could see that he was on the verge of mania and subconsciously tried to step forward but was held back by Moschery.

       Arthur gasped. He grabbed a syringe from the guard on the side and inserted it into the vein in his neck without blinking. As if he didn’t feel any pain, he quickly finished the injection.

       After three consecutive injections, Arthur regained his composure slightly. He said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t even think about it. I shouldn’t have agreed six years ago to let him help the Cabinet find those god-level genes. I won’t agree to your current request.”

       Moschery was not angry. He took a few steps forward, looked at Arthur condescendingly, and said calmly, “Six years ago, I just ascended to the throne. I hardly had any real power. If you were willing to stand by me at that time, your guide would not have been sentenced to ‘death’.”

       Arthur’s brutal lion slumped to the ground, showing his teeth and growling low.

       Moschery, with a mix of pity and mockery, said, “The Cabinet is using the pretext of god-level genes to lure Shen into committing the so-called treason. Only a fool like you would actually agree, not worry, and let him go alone.”

 

       “The Eta Star God-level Gene Project?!” Shen Zhuofan’s face turned pale, and he stood up with a hint of agitation. “What do you want Qin Yun to do?! Have you forgotten what I went through six years ago?!!”

       “Of course I haven’t forgotten.” Lin Dongliang comforted him with a headache, “That’s why I came to ask you who Qin Yun is and why His Majesty chose him to go with him.”

       Shen Zhuofan: “… Together with His Majesty?!”

       Lin Dongliang: “He is now Qin Yun’s sentinel. Obviously, he will go with him.”

       “…” Shen Zhuofan was a little confused, “Does this have anything to do with who Qin Yun is?”

       “Of course it will matter.” Lin Dongliang said seriously, “Even your guiding tendrils at that time couldn’t come close to His Majesty’s god-level. Why can Qin Yun, a low-level guide, do it?”

       Shen Zhuofan was speechless. He obviously didn’t know how to answer this question.

       Lin Dongliang asked in confusion, “Does Qin Yun… Really have no spiritual link?”

The author has something to say:
This chapter essentially explains why Xi Zhao had a strange expression when Qin Yun first gave him mental guiding. The Emperor had a sort of horrifying realization akin to, “Wait, wasn’t I supposed to die alone and lonely?!”

       Shen Zhuofan was one of those model students who stood at the top of the pyramid when he was at Averio Academy. Legend has it that he had already read all the books on guide’s skill management before graduation, and he was very good at guiding mental power, guiding tendrils and consciousness manipulation.

 

       “Consciousness hypnosis is a very important thing. Although many of them are banned in the guidebook, I think it is very useful.” Shen Zhuofan earnestly taught Qin Yun, “The guide can even self-hypnotise. Of course I haven’t verified this. It’s said that only those at the god-level can achieve it.”

       Qin Yun glanced at him suspiciously, “So you have hypnotised a sentinel?”

       Shen Zhuofan: “…Although you are bad at learning, your sense of gossip is quite impressive.”

       “Actually, it’s not difficult to guess.” Qin Yun shrugged, “I’m not a fool… I have brought you a special heat stabilizer for two years… Only guides who have undergone the final marking experience will have a forced heat period every month.”

       Qin Yun glanced at Shen Zhuofan’s face, “Well… Why did you separate from your sentinel?”

       “…” Shen Zhuofan was silent for a while and said calmly, “To protect him.”

       Qin Yun was puzzled, “You can protect him by letting him forget about you…?”

       “Actually, I don’t know.” Shen Zhuofan sighed as if he was laughing at himself, “Maybe I am the coward… Regardless, I was the one who gave up on him first.”

 

       When Moschery returned to the living room, he saw his guide holding his chin in his hand in a daze. In front of him was a giant Mickey Mouse headband with half a rhinestones attached, and the tweezers in his hand were spinning.

       “What are you thinking about?” Moschery unbuttoned the collar of his uniform, took off his gloves and threw them casually on the bed, frowning, “Don’t show Zhongyan this style; do you want it to wear these ridiculous ears all day?”

       “…” Qin Yun: “I think it really likes them… wearing them occasionally won’t hurt.”

       Moschery’s face didn’t look good, and he muttered, “Women like to pamper their children.”

       Qin Yun didn’t hear clearly, “Huh?”

       “If you want to paste it, paste it quickly.” Moschery said impatiently, “We have other places to go today.”

       “Oh!” Qin Yun quickly packed up his things, “Then let’s go.”

       Moschery, “Aren’t you going to finish pasting?”

       Qin Yun said proudly, “No worries, I can paste the same ones on the way. My skills are top-notch now!”

 

       While Moschery piloted the aircraft, he endured Qin Yun neatly arranging rows of rhinestones on the co-pilot seat. Surprisingly, Qin Yun was still in the mood to joke, “Have you ever considered sticking the rhinestones on the aircraft? That way, when Zhongyan comes out to fly, he’ll be super, super happy!”

       Moschery laughed out loud, “Do you think the emperor would drive out in a shiny aircraft?!”

       Qin Yun imagined the scene for a moment: “Well, it’s not impossible… Sparkling with a luxurious and imposing golden light, a royal tycoon gold aircraft!”

       Moschery: “…”

       It was only when he was almost done pasting on the headband that Qin Yun remembered to ask Moschery, “Where are we going?”

       His Majesty the Emperor felt a headache when he saw those shiny Mickey Mouse ears and said angrily, “The residence of Grand Duke Garcia.”

       Qin Yun blinked: “Isn’t he your biggest political enemy…”

       Moschery’s face turned dark, “And who did you hear that from?”

       Qin Yun: “That’s what they all say on the internet… Don’t you read All Universe 818? Regarding the best attire for iron ladies in the political arena, General Lane Tristana is leading the way from afar. There’s also the undeniable affair between the Secretary of State and General Skarter, but the highest-clicked documentary remains the century-long political drama of love and rivalry between the Tyrant and Duke García.

       Moschery: “…”

       “Universe Picks had your masks as their best seller.” Qin Yun enlarged the store photo and showed it to Moschery, “Is it made exactly the same?”

       Moschery took one look and almost went crazy with anger, “…How could they have the nerve to say it’s the same model?! The dragon pattern on it was designed by me myself!! This is copyright infringement! Infringement!!!”

 

       The Garcia family could be said to be the last nobles in the Empire. The Grand Duke Garcia Senior was not optimistic about the weak Emperor Helu at the time and preferred Cabinet governance. As the Duke who controlled half of the Empire’s military power, with his support, the Cabinet held immense influence in both court and country. This continued until Moschery ascended the throne, and the Garcia Senior changed into the Garcia Junior.

       Arthur Garcia inherited Garcia Senior’s iron-fisted approach, but his temperament was more unpredictable. He was colder and crueler than his father, just like the spiritual link of their family—the Ruthless Lion.

       Needless to say, Arthur caused Moschery a lot of trouble. He had strong military power and an unreasonable personal style. Although he did not show any political ambitions, he was still more pro-cabinet like his father.

       “I remember that Duke Garcia sent troops when we attacked D Star…even though the cabinet opposed it.” Qin Yun recalled, “Is he leaning towards the royal family now?”

       “No, Arthur is just neutral.” A look of disdain appeared on Moschery’s face, “He has been living as if he were dead in the past two years, but he has a grudge against Berlin. As long as Berlin opposes it, he supports it. It’s childish. Like a child.”

       Qin Yun was embarrassed, “How come?”

       Moschery glanced at him and said calmly, “Something happened to his guide. In order to prevent Arthur from having a mental breakdown, the guide seems to have hypnotised him and made Arthur forget about him. But how is it possible to simply forget after being marked for life? Even if Arthur doesn’t remember him, he won’t forget about who harmed the love of his life.”

       Qin Yun frowned, thinking of the powerful iron lady, “But why did Mrs. Berlin want to harm the Duke’s guide?”

       Moschery smiled sarcastically, “Of course it’s because he shook up the Cabinet’s power. In addition to the marriage, the military power possessed by Garcia is also what the Cabinet relied on to control the government for many years. Arthur’s lover, the guide, is Lin Dongliang’s schoolmate. Who do you think he will favour?”

       There was 100% trust and obedience between the guide and the sentinel who had completed the final marking. They would give priority to each other, from their thoughts to their actions, influencing each other and respecting each other until they reached the most tacit understanding.

       “Arthur’s lover trusts the royal family, and Arthur naturally values him. How can the Cabinet endure it when they find out that they are about to be sabotaged?” Moschery said coldly, “Berlin even planned to make Arthur suffer a mental breakdown and lose military power. It’s a pity that the guide in question is no pushover either. Consciousness hypnosis is a forbidden technique, and it poses considerable risks to oneself. By reaching this point, he seems to care little about whether he can survive or not.”

       Qin Yun was silent for a long time and couldn’t help but ask, “Then did he… die in the end?”

       Moschery shook his head, “I don’t know… Even if the guide is not dead, the guide’s ability will definitely be gone. The final consequences of the guide being injected with a brain nerve-destroying agent will be the same.”

       Brain nerve-destroying agents were equivalent to the ‘death penalty’ in the guide world. Due to the existence of the All Universal Guide Protection Law, although a guide who had committed a felony would not be sentenced to death, he would be forcibly injected with a brain nerve-destroying agent and permanently lose his ability to guide. The unmarked guide would become no different from ordinary people, and the guide that had been their final marking would be in extreme pain, unable to soothe his sentinel mania, and his body would still be affected by the remaining pheromones of sentinel and be forced to go into heat every month. As they watched their sentinel collapse mentally, he would eventually die of depression.

 

       “Arthur has been relying on the mania suppressant stabiliser in the past few years, but  things are still getting worse.” Moschery parked the aircraft outside the Duke’s mansion, “He should really thank his guide for actually using consciousness hypnosis on him in the end. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be mania suppressant now.”

       Moschery said coldly and disdainfully, “A sentinel that cannot protect its own guide is simply trash.”

       Qin Yun: “…” It’s very pitiful for him to have his household and the love of his life broken. Your Majesty, can’t you have some sympathy?!

 

       The Duke’s Residence was not much smaller than the Imperial Palace. If Moschery hadn’t led the way, Qin Yun would probably have embarrassed himself, much like his first visit to the Imperial Palace.

       The butler of the mansion was a young ordinary boy. Qin Yun felt a bit familiar when he first saw him but could not recall who he looked like for a moment.

       Moschery nodded: “Long time no see, Ke Qing.”

       Ke Qing smiled, “Your Majesty, you are truly too kind.” He looked at Qin Yun and bowed respectfully, “Welcome, Mr. Qin.”

       Qin Yun hurriedly returned the greeting, still unable to figure out the other person as he stared at the other person’s face.

       “Do you think he looks like someone?” Qin Yun couldn’t help but ask Moschery on the way to the back garden, “This face is just too ordinary, isn’t it…”

       Moschery rolled his eyes at him, “It’s not common. Haven’t you noticed that every man in this house looks a bit like him?”

       Qin Yun was startled. He took a peek around and found that it was actually true!

       Moschery snorted coldly, “Even though the person is forgotten, there is always an obsession in the subconsciousness. This Garcia person is engraved with the word ‘persistence’ even in his soul.”

       Skarter looked at the two people ignoring each other with a playful expression. Qin Yun’s face had words such as ‘Embarrassed to death’, ‘I want to die’, ‘Please ignore me’, and others written all over his face. In comparison, Moschery’s expression was much more ordinary.

       His Majesty the Emperor showed no expression throughout the entire process. He glanced at Skarter, “What else do you want?”

       Of course Skarter knew that the other party was ordering him to leave, but being thick-skinned enough had always been his strength.

       “I just want to confirm the ‘Eta Star Project’.” He glanced at Qin Yun, “If Your Majesty decides to go there in person, how many guards will you need to send?”

       Qin Yun suddenly reacted when he heard the words ‘Eta Star Project’, and he stared at Skarter nervously.

       Moschery still wore a mask on half of his face and said in a calm tone, “I will make arrangements myself, you don’t have to worry about it.”

       Skarter pursed his lips with an expression of ‘Okay, you are the boss’. He said meaningfully to Qin Yun, “Then, His Majesty will have to trouble you more in the future.”

       Qin Yun: “…” Damn it, who wants to take care of him?! Isn’t one time suffering enough?!!

 

       For a long time after Skarter left, the study room was filled with a strange and peaceful atmosphere. Qin Yun was digging hard at the corners of the Emperor’s desk while Moschery continued to study the ‘Bonding Heat Do’s and Don’ts Guide’…….

       After an unknown amount of time, Moschery was the first to break the silence, “Actually, I didn’t see anything when you accompanied Zhongyan…just now.”

       In Qin Yun’s gaze, there was a dazzling sparkle that seemed to say, ‘Who are you trying to fool?’

       Moschery thought for a while and said in a serious tone, “I am very busy. You have also seen how many documents I have to read. I have no time to pay attention to you and Zhongyan.”

       “…” Qin Yun was a little shaken.

       Moschery: “And I am the Emperor, so there is no need to lie to you for such a trivial matter.”

       Qin Yun: “…You even hid the fact that you are the Emperor from me… Who knows if you’ll blab about me dancing on a horse…”

       Moschery was stunned and said subconsciously, “Aren’t you singing Little Apple?”

       Qin Yun: “…”

       Moschery: “…”

       Qin Yun roared with grief and anger, “You liar! You clearly said you didn’t see anything!!!”

 

       Because he had successfully attached a super gorgeous and luxurious Supreme Maiden version of Zhongyan’s ‘Toothless’, the giant dragon wanted to hug Qin Yun’s thigh when sleeping.

       In the end, Moschery had no choice but to contribute half of his bedroom.

       The Emperor was still very busy when it was time to go to sleep. Moschery looked at the remaining documents and endured all kinds of slander against him by the person and dragon in the corner.

       “Did Xi Zhao put these on for you?” Qin Yun frowned and looked at the pile of crooked rhinestone jewellery.

       Zhongyan stretched out his dragon claw and fiddled with it with a look of disgust on his face.

       Moschery said with a dark face, “…Who was moved to tears when I made it before?!”

       Qin Yun: “Are you sure he was moved? Not ugly crying?”

       A vein popped up on Moschery’s forehead, “Are you feeling bold, huh? Feeling like crying and calling for your daddy?!”

       Qin Yun: “…” Daddy? What the heck?! Where did you learn that, Your Majesty?!

 

       Ever since he found out that Xi Zhao was Moschery, Qin Yun had become accustomed to his various face-grabbing behaviours. When he was pulled out of bed by His Majesty the Emperor, who was still in high spirits after not sleeping all night, he did not dare to complain and accompanied him diligently to the training room.

       “The avian people not only has its primary form but also possesses a secondary form.” Moschery released Zhongyan for the first time in the training room, “The secondary form can only be attacked through the sentinel’s spiritual link.”

       Qin Yun was really tempted to ask if the sissy dragon could really fight…

       Moschery: “You mainly control Zhongyan’s emotions, and don’t let him get excited and bite those beasts with his mouth… Are you listening?”

       Qin Yun: “…If it doesn’t use its mouth to bite, what does it use… punches?”

       Moschery looked like he wanted to get angry again. He took a deep breath and said patiently, “It is not hygienic to use the mouth. A slap will kill it, and a few more times will kill a bunch.”

       Qin Yun inexplicably said, “What kind of hygiene should we pay attention to in a war… I went to the front line without taking a shower for a month, okay?”

       “…” Moschery moved half a meter away from him with a look of disgust.

       Qin Yun: “…I took a shower yesterday.”

       Since the Emperor told him to follow the spiritual link, Qin Yun naturally obeyed and went wherever Zhongyan went. Moschery was not far away anyway and could help him in times of danger, but he obviously underestimated the power of the god-level spiritual link.

       Moschery’s angry roar could be heard throughout the training ground, “Control, control! Do you want it to destroy this place?!”

       Qin Yun screamed, “I can’t keep up with its speed at all! Damn it, isn’t it a sissy?! Where is its girlish heart?!”

       Moschery: “What do you think it is?! It’s still a dragon!”

 

       Qin Yun ran up and down, but the soothing area of ​​guiding tendrils was, after all, limited. For Zhongyan, it was like being scratched with a mini comb, which had no effect at all.

       Moschery clicked his tongue and jumped onto the rock, trying to force Zhongyan back into the realm of consciousness.

       “Wait a minute!” Qin Yun stopped him, “Let me try again!”

       Moschery’s expression showed distrust, but he still made way and stepped aside.

       The guiding tendrils attached to Zhongyan’s back were slowly divided into two, then three, four, five… and finally gradually intertwined to form a huge ‘net’, and Zhongyan’s entire back and chest were covered. Covered in mesh, it’s like wearing a dragon-shaped ‘war robe’.

       Moschery opened his mouth, “How did you do it?”

       Qin Yun couldn’t answer him because it was the first time that his guiding tendrils had been forcibly split, and the drain on his mental energy was almost too much for him to handle.

       Zhongyan was finally calmed down and obediently waved its claws to defeat the enemies. Moschery dared not leave Qin Yun’s side; as a guide in such situations, he was essentially a living target with no ability to protect himself.

       “How many secondary forms are there…” Qin Yun finally paid some attention. The field uniform on his body was completely soaked.

       Moschery glanced at them, “There are four more.” He said a little anxiously, “Can you handle it? Don’t lose the ability to coordinate with me for a moment.”

       “…” Qin Yun stuttered in anger, “…You, you are exploiting… Don’t, don’t think that you are the Emperor, I, I won’t dare to sue you!”

 

       Skarter gave the confirmed list to Lin Dongliang. His expression was very relaxed, “When Your Majesty goes to Eta, we can have a complete vacation. Where do you want to go?”

       Lin Dongliang said helplessly, “You are really not worried at all… Who is that guide? Is there really no problem?”

       “Even if there’s an issue, it’s something His Majesty has acknowledged.” Skarter smiled. “Why? Are you worried?”

       “You think everyone is like you?” Lin Dongliang asked angrily. He and Skarter grew up together. Although this childhood sweetheart appeared to be approachable and gentle on the surface, in fact, he was cold-blooded than anyone else. Truly, his spiritual link reflected the nature of its owner perfectly.

       “What I’m worried about is not His Majesty but the guide.” Lin Dongliang’s eyes were filled with deep worry, “The number of sentinels and guides stationed by Olympus on Eta is no less than that of the Avian People, not to mention that His Majesty is a god-level… It’s too dangerous; he will die.”

       Skarter said indifferently, “Fortunately, His Majesty hadn’t completed the final mark with him yet.”

       Lin Dongliang looked at him disapprovingly.

       “Take it easy, darling.” Skarter stretched out his hand and gently caressed the other person’s face, “The regime is achieved on the sacrifices of countless individuals. We all know that. Have you forgotten about Shen? If we hadn’t pretended like we didn’t know that the cabinet removed him, deliberately leaked information, and made Berlin completely offended Duke Garcia, would that madman still be neutral now?”

       Lin Dongliang’s face turned extremely unpleasant. He had drawn up that plan himself, and the consequence of it was sacrificing his most outstanding junior in the guide academy.

       “You are so cruel, Skarter.” Lin Dongliang smiled bitterly, “Do you have to make me remember all this? Are you trying to make me understand that I’m also a sinner?”

       “We all are.” Skarter kissed his lips and smiled, “Maybe I’ll have to be sacrificed one day too, but you’ll survive.”

 

       Survive and then forget about me.

 

       “Consciousness hypnosis?” Qin Yun repeated doubtfully, and he asked Shen Zhuofan, “Where did you hear this?”

       “Don’t worry about that; as long as you understand the principles, it’s enough.” Shen Zhuofan continued to explain impatiently, “A sentinel or guide above S level can do this, hypnotizing one’s partner and creating the false impression that they have never been marked. In this way, when one party is considered dead, the other party won’t have a mental breakdown, as for how long it can last depends on the strength of the other party.”

       Qin Yun: “…What does this have to do with me? You said you have to be S-level or above to do it.”

       Shen Zhuofan simply hated the fact he couldn’t be more ambitious, “Can’t you have a little more ambition? You’re the guide of a divine-level sentinel now; S-levels aren’t all scumbags!”

       Qin Yun: “If I encounter scumbags on the battlefield, I will still escape…”

       Shen Zhuofan: “…”

       Qin Yun: “Seriously, can you teach me something useful? For example, how to deal with two psychopaths at the same time.”

       Shen Zhuofan: “…”

       Qin Yun: “Or you can help me paste the rhinestones together? Do you know that now I train during the day and have to do the hard work of pasting rhinestones at night?”

       Shen Zhuofan: “…………”

       Qin Yun: “It’s true. My lower back is now protruding because I need to keep pasting the rhinestones in the past few days.”

Notes:
Changing Scott to Skarter, Skater is actually much closer to the hanzi, but I stubbornly pick Scott coz it sounds better, but then the names… of people here… is well… interesting, so I think Skarter will be better.
Also, the little apple Qin Yun sang seems to be a song called You are My Little Apple ~

       Cyprus was originally an island country, also known as the Holy Land of Love. Because one could enjoy the most beautiful rivers of stars in the universe on the seaside at night, thousands of ordinary couples flocked to it.

       When Qin Yun and the others arrived, many people were already on the beach. Although ordinary people could not see the spiritual link, they couldn’t rule out that there would be a sentinel and guide couple.

       “Is it okay if you put the spiritual link here?” Qin Yun asked worriedly, “Will it scare others?”

       Xi Zhao had no time to lose his temper. He found a deserted rock and jumped on it. He turned around and stretched out his hand to Qin Yun, “Come here.”

       Qin Yun stood next to Xi Zhao. Many couples were looking at them, and Qin Yun’s face felt a little hot under the scrutiny, “This place is too lively…it’s a bit bad with so many people…”

       “Not good… No good…” Qin Yun slowly opened his mouth. He raised his neck mechanically and stared at Xi Zhao’s back in shock, “That… D-d-d-d-dragon offfh!” He abruptly covered his mouth with his hand, turned to look around, and noticed that a few couples had glanced in their direction, but their reactions seemed calm.

       Qin Yun turned around carefully. The black dragon was still squatting on the spot. It followed Qin Yun’s movements and tilted its head. Its huge wings somewhat comically folded in front of its chest.

       “I call him Zhongyan¹great flames.” Xi Zhao’s tone was calm as if he was just saying that the weather was very good today, “No one can see him except you.”

 

       The moon hung in the sky, the river of stars in Cyprus was vast and magnificent, and the lovers on the beach cuddled up to each other quietly, whispering words of love.

       Zhongyan frolicked in the night sky, seemingly delighted by the stars. He always stretched out his claws to reach them or flew with his belly upward as if the whole dragon were nestled in the embrace of the starry river.

       Qin Yun couldn’t help but laugh. He looked to his side and saw Xi Zhao lying on the rock with his eyes closed, both arms resting on the back of his head, breathing peacefully as he slept.

       Qin Yun looked at him for a long time before turning his face again and looking at the vast starry sky above his head.

       Zhongyan’s huge wings cut across the sky. It circled several times and landed in front of Qin Yun. He lowered his head, and around his chest hung a pendant adorned with shattered diamonds, shaped like a violent bear.

       “…” Qin Yun: “So that phone case is yours…”

       Zhongyan snorted and folded his wings shyly, trying to hide his huge dragon face.

       Qin Yun cautiously reached out his hand, and Zhongyan blinked. He lowered his head obediently and allowed the other’s palm to caress his muzzle.

       “You are such a beautiful and majestic big guy.” Qin Yun sighed. The touch under his palm was cold and smooth, and the black dragon scales glowed with a cool lustre in the moonlight.

       Qin Yun simply stretched out his guiding tendrils and ‘stroked’ the dragon’s neck and back. Zhongyan turned over his belly comfortably, his wings swayed back and forth against the ground, and his huge tail slapped the seawater.

       Qin Yun: “…” Born as such a cool and stunning dragon, is it really okay for you to be so good at being cute?!

 

       Xi Zhao frowned and looked at Qin Yun, whose hands and feet were shaking from fatigue, and said disapprovingly, “Don’t give in to its every whim; you’ll spoil him.”

       “It’s hard, he’s rare…” Qin Yun rubbed his sore arm, “It’s usually only you around him, which can be quite lonely for him.”

       Xi Zhao cast a glance at him, his expression turning a bit sour.

       Qin Yun chuckled and said half-jokingly, “Actually, coming to a place like this alone… must be lonely for you too, right?”

       Xi Zhao didn’t say anything. He opened the aircraft door, turned around suddenly, and his face was almost close to Qin Yun’s. He pulled off the other person’s collar, looked at it, and whispered, “The mental marks seem to have faded a bit.”

       Qin Yun: “…Have they?” He turned his neck to see behind him, but Xi Zhao suddenly clamped his chin.

       “…” Qin Yun didn’t get many pheromones, but his lips were swollen from being kissed…

       “Let’s come together next time.” Qin Yun fastened his seat belt and yawned, feeling a little drowsy, “The Cyprus Galaxy is really beautiful.”

       Xi Zhao adjusted the autopilot and slowed down the aircraft to prevent it from bumping. He casually asked, “Why? Haven’t seen enough today?”

       Qin Yun drooped his eyelids and complained drowsily before falling asleep, “Zhongyan is too big… blocking the front… I can’t see anything.”

       Xi Zhao: “…”

 

       Shen Zhuofan was in the middle of opening a can for Sweetheart when Qin Yun’s face appeared on the communication device. Sweetheart didn’t even eat the can and rushed forward with a meowl, clawing at the image with her paws.

       “Ah, it’s such a pity that I can’t touch you.” Qin Yun laughed loudly, and he greeted Shen Zhuofan, “I am going on a mission next month, and I have sent the stabiliser to you. Remember to collect it.”

       Shen Zhuofan frowned, “Why are you going on a mission so soon? Is it dangerous?”

       Qin Yun: “It’s a bit dangerous…but there will be a separate sentinel to protect me this time, so don’t worry.”

       Shen Zhuofan was silent for a while and suddenly asked, “Qin Yun, do you know who the sentinel is that gave you a mental mark?”

       “I know.” Qin Yun took a cat teaser and teased Sweetheart in the video, “What’s wrong?”

       Shen Zhuofan took a breath, “His spiritual link is a dragon, right?”

       Qin Yun’s movements paused, and he said awkwardly, “Hehe, you know…”

       “The question is not whether I know it or not.” Shen Zhuofan rubbed his forehead with a headache, “The question is, who do you think has a god-level spiritual link?”

       Qin Yun: “??”

       Shen Zhuofan rolled his eyes: “Moschery-Xi Zhao-Issa, this is the full name of the current emperor. His photos are on the front pages of all major websites. He’s the super VVVVVIP diamond bachelor on the universal dating sites. I heard that he had previously crippled the brains of several guides… Have you been in battle too much until you lost your mind? How come you don’t even know these gossips?”

       Qin Yun looked at Shen Zhuofan like an idiot, and the cat teasing stick in his hand fell to the ground with a ‘pop’ sound. Sweetheart meowed, raised its paw pad, and slapped it on the communication device.

 

       Qin Yun had been wandering around outside the palace alone for a long time. He came here early this morning. He got off at the wrong stop on the way because he was not familiar with it. When he got there, he realised that he was as clueless as an idiot… He didn’t even have Xi Zhao’s private communication identification number.

       I am such a failure… Qin Yun thought depressingly. He was probably the first guide in the universe who had established a mental mark but didn’t even know who his sentinel was.

       Just as he was hesitating whether to go back first, the palace gate suddenly opened automatically, and the stereotypical and kind voice of old butler, Ba Jin, rang out from the huge loudspeaker in the plaza.

       “Dear Mr. Qin Yun.” Ba Jin said respectfully, “We welcome your arrival.”

       Qin Yun reflexively bowed toward the loudspeaker, “Thank you, thank you! You are so polite!”

       Loudspeaker:”……”

       Ba Jin coughed, looked at Moschery, who was flipping through documents in the study, and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, your little guide is very interesting.”

       Moschery glanced out the window and said angrily, “What’s so interesting? He’s stupid as hell.”

 

       Before Qin Yun went upstairs, he saw Ba Jin standing respectfully at the top of the stairs and bowing slightly to him, “Hello, Mr. Qin Yun.”

       “No, no need to be so polite.” Qin Yun was so nervous that he almost crouched down, “Hello, hello!”

       Ba Jin laughed and patted Qin Yun on the back, “Young man, don’t be nervous. I will take you to see His Majesty.”

       Moschery’s study was very large, and there was a door in the middle that divided it into two rooms. When Qin Yun entered, he saw Zhongyan lying on the ground with his tail on his head, and he immediately raised his head when he saw him.

       Ba Jin observed his expression and asked softly, “Can you see His Highness Zhongyan?”

       “Ah, yes.” Qin Yun watched Zhongyan stand up and flutter his wings, straighten the dragon’s neck and snort. The huge dragon’s muzzle stretched out in front of him and rubbed his cheek. Qin Yun touched it for a while, then remembered that Ba Jin couldn’t see.

       The old butler didn’t mind at all. He made tea for Qin Yun, handed it to Qin Yun with a plate of snacks, and said with a smile, “His Majesty may be busy for a while, so I’ll have to trouble you to stay here with His Highness Zhongyan.”

       Qin Yun warily and hurriedly agreed, waiting until Ba Jin had left before letting out a sigh of relief.

       “It’s just the two of us now.” Qin Yun touched Zhongyan’s head.

 

       A spiritual link couldn’t be too far away from the owner. Since Zhongyan was here, it meant that Moschery was on the other side of the door. Qin Yun took a piece of biscuit, lay on the dark glass door and stared at it for a long time. Zhongyan also followed his example, lying next to him.

       “How come I can’t see anything?” Qin Yun muttered as he made a face at the glass door, and Zhongyan also bared his teeth.

       Qin Yun rolled his eyes, and Zhongyan also tried hard to roll his golden eyes upward.

       Qin Yun made a pig snout gesture, saying, “Oink, oink!”

       Zhongyan dilated his nostrils, “Huh! Huh!”

       Qin Yun: “You are my little, oh little apple~”

       Zhongyan flapped his wings from side to side, but his tail accidentally hit Qin Yun in the face…

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       The snacks made by Ba Jin were delicious. Qin Yun bit into a piece of apple pie as his eyes fell on Zhongyan’s neck.

       “Toothless?” Qin Yun played with the shiny dragon-shaped pendant, “You must have attached these rhinestones yourself…the workmanship is really bad.”

       Zhongyan blinked. He stood up and shook his wings vigorously. Then a bunch of rhinestones fell to the ground.

       “…” Qin Yun, “Is this all yours?”

       Zhongyan nodded proudly. It seemed a little excited. When it wanted to stand up, its foot suddenly slipped. The whole dragon fell into the pile of rhinestones. The Toothless dragon rhinestone, which was not very secure at first, suddenly crumbled into pieces.

       Qin Yun: “…”

       Chong Yan: “…QAQ”

       Qin Yun: “I’ll stick it! I’ll help you stick it! No crying!!”

       The giant black dragon shrank its wings and squatted aside, sobbing. Qin Yun lay on the ground, using tweezers to carefully mend the rhinestones while comforting it, “Don’t worry, I’ll stick an ultra-luxurious version of Toothless for you, dazzling everyone for sure.”

       Zhongyan nodded while crying.

       Qin Yun sighed, took off his coat and handed it over, “Good boy, wipe your nose.”

 

       When Skarter came in, Zhongyan was blowing his nose, and there was a coat floating strangely in the air with sticky liquid on it. Qin Yun was fully immersed in the realm of human and diamond integration, completely unaware that there was an extra person in the room.

       He didn’t react until the middle partition door opened automatically.

       “…” Qin Yun quickly got up from the ground, not forgetting to put the attached Toothless back on Zhongyan’s neck.

      Skarter coughed and suppressed a laugh, “The dragon is not easy to coax…thank you for your hard work.”

       Qin Yun nodded awkwardly and bowed, “Of course, of course.”

      Skarter composed his expression and gestured in a welcoming manner, and Qin Yun quickly made his way, allowing the general to enter the study first. The general stopped the courtesy and entered the study room first. Qin Yun followed behind with relief. When the door closed, he subconsciously looked back. Take a look—

       Qin Yun: “???!!!”

      Skarter only heard a ‘bang’ sound, and Qin Yun, like a dead fish, slammed into the glass door with a fierce expression on his face. However, from the general’s perspective, he could only see into the adjacent room, where a glittering Toothless pendant was bouncing around on the ceiling.

      Skarter: “What’s wrong…? Oh, I forgot. This door can be seen from the inside but is dark from the outside. Isn’t it a good design?”

       Qin Yun: “……#￥%@#￥%*&”

      Skarter looked confused behind the desk, His Majesty the Emperor, who was staring at the documents seriously, “What happened to him?”

       “…” Moschery turned over another page with a blank expression.

       Skarter looked strange and said, “…Your Majesty, why are you reading the “Bonding Heat Instruction Manual”?”
