Chapter 27 – The Mist (3)

January 19, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       As an adult, Qin Yun rarely dreamed of the past, though he occasionally missed his foster mother, Bixi. and the ranch where he spent his childhood—where the grass grew with the arrival of early spring and birds fluttered about until the snowy days of winter

       Bixi always had a lazy appearance, with her silver hair casually hanging down. She enjoyed riding horses but had little interest in caring for them. Qin Yun, on the other hand, was the opposite. He could never manage to ride these ‘antique’ creatures, but he took great joy and diligence in feeding them and brushing their coats.

       He and Bixi were not related by blood, but they loved each other deeply, just like a real mother and son.

       The only time they ever argued was over Qin Yun’s visit to the military headquarters.

       They had a cold war for a long time, and until last year Bixi had not been able to forgive him.

 

       Shen Zhuofan was sitting beside the hospital bed, dozing off little by little. When he suddenly woke up, he found Qin Yun looking at him.

       “Are you awake?” Shen Zhuofan hurriedly approached him and looked at him, “How do you feel?”

       Qin Yun moved his neck, “I can’t feel anything…when did you come?”

       Shen Zhuofan sighed, “I’ve been here for three days, and you’ve been in a coma since you returned to the Imperial Capital…” He said with some disapproval, “You’re really reckless, taking so many stimulants like that. Aren’t you afraid of the consequences?”

       “I didn’t think much about it at the time.” Qin Yun took a sip of the water brought by the other party, “Anyway, it’s all going to end… might as well give it a final shot. Weren’t you the same back then?”

       Shen Zhuofan’s anger welled up, “Could my situation back then be compared to yours?!”

       Qin Yun didn’t reply this time. He held the cup silently and stared at the holographic image on the wall.

       The news was reporting on the war on Eta Star. The two armies were in a stalemate, and even Moschery had to sit on the front line. The Empire had never been pushed into such a mess before, and the media was even outright criticising this time as a failed battle for the Emperor…

       “It’s all bullshit.” Shen Zhuofan turned off the hologram irritably, “The Cabinet only had so much ability to control public opinion. It’s not interesting to watch.”

       Qin Yun looked at him and said helplessly, “I haven’t said anything yet… Why are you so angry?”

       Shen Zhuofan had a sullen expression. He had always been at odds with the Cabinet, and he had the urge to slap Berlin’s face with the sole of his shoe every minute.

       “You should avoid that old hag of a Prime Minister from now on.” Shen Zhuofan said angrily, “Otherwise, who knows how you’ll end up.”

       “…” Qin Yun, “I don’t think I would be seeing her either…”

       Shen Zhuofan: “Just because you don’t go to her doesn’t mean that she won’t come to you.” He put on a serious expression, “This time, you have an incident with His Majesty. The Cabinet knows as much as we do; Tristana has already intercepted several waves of their people on your behalf.”

       Qin Yun frowned, “But I no longer have the ability to guide…”

       Shen Zhuofan sneered, “It is precisely because you are useless that it’s more convenient for them to get rid of you.”

 

       Tristana brought her homemade pancakes to visit the patient. Qin Yun was dumbfounded, looking at the strange patterns on the plate. Shen Zhuofan couldn’t help complaining, “Stop it… No matter how much you do, your household chores point will still be unsatisfactory.”

       “…” Tristana pinched his neck and roared, “It’s already good that I’m cooking for you! Eat all of it for me!!”

       Qin Yun: “…”

       Shen Zhuofan made a pot of tea, and the two of them finished most of the pancakes with the tea. Tristana crossed her legs on the hospital bed and said disgustedly, “Isn’t this finished…how does it taste?”

       Shen Zhuofan twirled his fingers, “It’s too sweet…”

       Tristana started to lift up her sleeves.

       Qin Yun hurriedly made up for it, “Sweet and crispy! Very delicious!”

       The female general then snorted with satisfaction. She looked at Qin Yun and said meaningfully, “You’re quite a sweet talker. No wonder His Majesty likes you.”

       “…” Qin Yun was embarrassed to say that his manoeuvre didn’t work well on Moschery…

       “It’s just a pity…” Tristana stopped smiling, “You’re too impulsive… I’ve checked your frontline achievements. Your abilities are outstanding, and you prefer independent actions. You single-handedly guided nearly a hundred sentinels at Major General Elberna on G Star. Later, you even managed to divert a high-level guide by yourself… Luckily, His Majesty saved you.”

       Being said so by his immediate boss, Qin Yun couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He wanted to argue that he was just checking the situation, but it was an indisputable fact that he was deceived by Lan Zhi.

       In the final analysis, he still overestimated himself and often forgot that he was just a low-level guide.

       “A high-level guide has a certain chance of curing the brain nerves of a guide with a lower level than yourself.” Tristana closed her eyes. She regretted, “I tried several times, but it didn’t work for you.”

       Shen Zhuofan raised his eyebrows, “You mean… Qin Yun’s real level may be higher than the SS level?”

       “I don’t know.” Tristana’s expression was calm, “But you killed a high-level SSS guide, and you are the only one who can channel His Majesty’s consciousness cloud. Even if there is no spiritual link… You shouldn’t be low-level.”

       “But it’s too late for anything now…” Qin Yun smiled bitterly and pointed at his brain, “I’m not even as good as a low-level now.”

       Tristana smiled, “Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.” She looked at Shen Zhuofan, “Even if others don’t forgive you, occasionally, you need to forgive yourself.”

       Shen Zhuofan coughed. He pretended not to understand what the female general said and crossed his arms with a serious expression, “What should we do now? Sooner or later, the Cabinet will know that Qin Yun no longer has the ability to guide. Who will protect him then?”

       Tristana sighed, “It depends on His Majesty.” Her expression was very gloomy, “The current situation is very unfavourable to the royal family. I have to take care of it alone, and it is out of His Majesty’s ability. The Cabinet even plans to abolish the imperial power. As for Lin Dongliang…he was finally able to withdraw from the front line, but he had to be temporarily separated from Skarter.”

       Qin Yun: “What happened to General Skarter?”

       Tristana did not deliberately hide it. She said calmly, “In order to protect you, Skarter took the responsibility for breaking the peace treaty. I heard that he will be taken away by the Cabinet tonight for surveillance and investigation.”

 

       Skarter had a fresh wound on his back that cut almost across his entire shoulder blade, and Lin Dongliang sat behind him, carefully applying a hemostatic agent to the wound.

       The king crocodile lay quietly in the corner, and the red panda Yuanbao nestled next to it, with its big tail wrapped around the crocodile’s.

       Skarter suddenly twitched his nose and looked at his guide with squinted eyes, “You don’t smell right…are you trying to seduce me?”

       No one was more familiar with Skarter’s pheromone fluctuations than Lin Dongliang. He did not deny it. He endured the foreshadowing of Bonding Heat and rarely took the initiative to kiss the other person. Skarter reached out and held the back of Lin Dongliang’s head. He neither pushed it away nor catered for it.

       The Secretary of State looked a little frustrated, “…you don’t want to mark me?”

       “Don’t be ridiculous.” Skarter rolled his eyes and pinched Lin Dongliang’s neck, “I can’t even fight, eat, dream or pee without thinking about how to fvck you until you cry.”

       Lin Dongliang blushed and stammered, “Then, why…”

       Skarter sighed: “But not now.” He gently pressed the guide’s forehead, “The cabinet is coming soon, and such a short time is not enough to have sex.”

       Lin Dongliang pursed his lips. He naturally knew the real reason why Skarter didn’t want to mark him now. This was actually the same reason why he wanted to be marked.

 

       Neither of them wanted to expose the other, yet they both protected each other in similar ways.

 

       Skarter’s wounds had not been completely treated when he heard the sirens outside. Lin Dongliang looked at the intruder with a sullen face.

       High-level SSS guide, Professor Quinta, the executive director of Averio Academy, was once Lin Dongliang’s mentor but ended up standing against his own students.

       He ordered three level 3 guides to surround Lin Dongliang. The King Crocodile swung its giant tail violently, and a huge dimensional cage unfolded in front of it.

       “This is not in accordance with the procedure, teacher.” Lin Dongliang’s face paled, and Yuanbao’s back hair was completely blown out. His mental power was under the suppression of the three guide mental nets, “His Majesty Skarter’s military rank has not been revoked. You have no right to forcibly confine his spiritual link!”

       The dimensional cage was a device specially designed to confine a sentinel or guide’s spiritual link. Because it will have a severe torture effect on the spiritual link, it was generally only used on death row prisoners.

       Quinta’s expression was as still as water. He looked at Lin Dongliang quietly, “The Cabinet has the right to impose spiritual link confinement on dangerous elements who undermine the peace treaty.” He waved his hand and motioned for the people around him to step forward and cuff Skarter.

       Lin Dongliang clenched his fists, and the whites of his eyes were stained with a thick dark brown. The three guides who were originally surrounding him subconsciously stepped back. Quinta frowned. As soon as he raised his hand, Skarter grabbed his arm.

       “Lin Dongliang.” Skarter took a few steps forward and held his guide’s face, “Calm down… I’m fine…”

       Lin Dongliang was panting rapidly, his eyes almost indistinguishable from where his pupils were, and it took a long time for the dark brown whites of his eyes to slowly fade away.

       Skarter kissed his lips, and Lin Dongliang watched the other’s king crocodile climb into the dimensional cage. Because of its large size, the crocodile could only coil its tail in an aggrieved manner, with its huge snout attached to the transparent partition.

       Quinta handcuffed Skarter’s hands himself, and he took one last look at his former protégé.

 

       Lin Dongliang just stared blankly at the shackles on Skarter’s wrists.

 

       On the other side, the red panda struggled to stand upright on its plush hind legs, stretched out its paws, and hugged the dimension cage with all its strength. Its tail was hanging on the ground, and it carefully licked the crocodile’s snout through the glass.

Chapter 9 – To Accompany for Drinks

January 18, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Since that conversation, the relationship between the two became more natural.

       Fang Mingyan was a person who distinguished between public and private affairs clearly. When at home, he rarely discussed work and treated Zhuo Yue more like a friend than a boss. He considered issues very carefully, fully respecting the other person’s thoughts. Once he made a decision, however, he rarely changed it, demonstrating a strong sense of control in his personality.

       For example, the matter of Zhuo Yue moving.

       His assistant, Lin Hui, found an apartment for Zhuo Yue. Zhuo Ye talked to Fang Mingyan about moving there, but the other party put it on hold saying, ‘It will wait until he recovers’. Two weeks had passed, and Zhuo Yue’s cold had improved a lot. He was planning to bring it up tonight, but the owner of the house had not come back yet.

       The hour hand moved to ten o’clock, and the driver, Chen Li, called back with a very anxious tone. Fang Mingyan had three places to socialize in the evening. He had already drunk a lot at the first two places, and the last stop was Lost City. He was supposed to come out in half an hour, but the driver ended up waiting for more than an hour with no one in sight. His phone went straight to voicemail. Afraid that Fang Mingyan might have drunk too much and encountered an accident, and without a membership card to enter, Chen Li waited anxiously outside.

       Zhou Chi tried several times, but his phone was still turned off. He said worriedly, “It doesn’t usually happen like this…”

       Zhuo Yue asked, “Whose social gatherings is it?”

       Zhou Chi sighed, “Zhang Jing, the third young master of Fengchi Group. Probably, he made an appointment with some bosses in the film and television industry.”

       Zhuo Yue frowned. He had heard of the name of this third young master. He was an uneducated playboy who used his father’s money to open a film and television investment company. He frequented various entertainment venues every night and had affairs with many artists. Rumour had it that he indulged in all sorts of extravagant activities without discrimination between men and women. Fang Mingyan hadn’t come out for a long time, and he was probably drunk.

       He looked up at the clock and said, “I have the membership card there. Let me go check it out.”

       Zhou Chi hesitated for a moment but agreed. He personally drove and dropped Zhuo Ye off to the downstairs of Lost City. He repeatedly instructed him to bring Fang Mingyan out after entering and not to linger inside the private room. Zhuo Yue nodded and followed the waiter upstairs.

       The moment he pushed the door open, the warm and sultry air hit his face, making Zhu Yue’s throat dry. There were quite a few people in the spacious private room. The vibrant and flickering lights blurred the contours, and the music carried intermittent ambiguous whispers. The first thing that caught his eye was the two almost naked women on the small stage, entwining their bodies in sync with the silver pole. On the sofas facing the stage sat six or seven guests, each accompanied by some scantily dressed young men and women, some kneeling, some sitting, and some boldly flirting, even straddling the guests with their thighs open.

       Zhuo Yue had never seen such a situation before and felt goosebumps all over his body. The light in the sofa area was too dark. He looked around and couldn’t identify Fang Mingyan. He was hesitating whether to get closer and look closer when a long-drawn-out female voice sounded from behind, “Hey, whose distinguished guest is this?”

       Her voice attracted the attention of many people. Zhuo Yue didn’t want to cause trouble, so he immediately explained his purpose, “I’m here to see Chairman Fang, Fang Mingyan.”

       “This face looks familiar…” The man sitting in the middle of the sofa looked him up and down, raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you an artist from his company?”

       “Yes.”

       “Look, this guy Mingyan keeps all the good stuff for himself.” The man curled his lips and smiled ambiguously, “Come and sit here.”

       Zhuo Yue stood still.

       “You didn’t have ears, huh? Third Young Master asked you to come over and sit down. Why are you still standing there?” said a fat man with a sinister face.

       Only then did Zhuo Yue realise that the person who had just spoken to him was Zhang Jing, and said sternly, “Thank you, Third Young Master. Since Chairman Fang is not here, I won’t bother you.”

       “I actually quite like this kind of tone.” Zhang Jing looked at him with a smile, “It sounds so serious. It tickles people’s hearts.” The crowd suddenly burst into ambiguous and flattering laughter. Those sticky glances swept over him as if looking at a naked body through his clothes.

       Zhuo Yue felt disgusted, turned around and left, but was grabbed by someone.

       It was the fat man who made the move. He grabbed Zhuo Yue’s wrist and pulled it towards the sofa. While pulling, he said, “Okay, stop your act and spend time with Third Young Master. If Third Young Master is happy, you will be popular.”

       The fat man had a strong grip, and Zhuo Yue couldn’t shake him off. In a panic, he struggled harder. The fat man’s body swayed and he hit his leg on the coffee table, knocking over a table full of wine glasses. The fat man was in pain and yelled angrily, “Damn it! I’m giving you face, and you still don’t appreciate it!”

       The entire private room fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat depressing.

       “Tsk, that’s interesting.” A look of ferocity flashed in the eyes of Third Young Master Zhang, who was sitting in the middle, and the woman clinging to him immediately and carefully stepped away. He stared at Zhuo Yue and slowly raised the corners of his lips, “Today, I want to see if my invitation, Zhang Jing, can move a Buddha like you.”

       Zhuo Yue felt cold, turned around, and ran towards the door, but he was grabbed by the wrist by the two people who surrounded him. This time, he used a lot of strength, yet he couldn’t break free at all.

       At this moment, the door was pushed open.

       Fang Mingyan, wearing a black coat, walked in, laughing with the people around him.

       Fang Mingyan’s gaze fell on the frightened Zhuo Yue. He paused slightly, halting his steps. The two individuals who were holding onto Zhuo Yue released him awkwardly upon seeing Fang Mingyan enter. One of them explained, “Young Master Ming, this person came in looking for you. Third Young Master asked him to sit, but he suddenly lost his temper and even injured Hua ge…”

       The moment he saw the man, Zhuo Yue’s heart calmed down inexplicably. He was about to explain the whole story when he heard Zhang Jing say, “Mingyan, your artist has quite the attitude; he doesn’t even regard me seriously.”

       Fang Mingyan glanced at the broken cup on the ground and curled his lips at Zhang Jing, “I didn’t teach him well. I’ve been too indulgent and spoiled him recently. He doesn’t even understand the rules. Don’t be offended, Third Young Master.” After speaking, he turned around and looked at Zhuo Yue. He then said coldly, “Go and apologise to Third Young Master!”

       This sentence was structured as a command, carrying a strong sense of oppression that sent shivers down Zhuo Yue’s spine.

       He looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

       Embarrassment, confusion, discomfort, and grievance surged from the bottom of his heart. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he forcefully held them back.

       When their eyes met, Fang Mingyan’s dark eyes glowed with an undeniable cold light, carrying calm composure and unquestionable majesty.

       After standing still for a moment, Zhuo Yue pursed his lips, walked up to Zhang Jing, and said, “Third Young Master, I was wrong.” Zhuo Ye maintained a respectful attitude but did not act subservient. In his gestures and movements, there was a unique demeanour. Zhang Jing, who had always liked handsome young men, couldn’t help but feel an itch in his heart when he saw Zhuo Yue at a close distance. However, after mingling in the entertainment industry for many years, he could still distinguish between trivial and significant matters.

       Fang Mingyan was not someone to be messed with.

       In the words, whether ‘indulgent’ or ‘spoiled’, they all showed his affiliation and told him in detail that the two of them had a close relationship. The act of asking Zhuo Yue to apologise also gave him enough face. If he continued to pester him now, he would not only appear to be petty-minded but also be suspected of stealing someone’s lover. For a businessperson, connections were the most important. There were plenty of handsome male artists in the circle, so he certainly wouldn’t jeopardise his relationship for someone as insignificant as Zhuo Yue.

       Zhang Jing swept away the gloom on his face and said with a smile, “Mingyan’s companion is of course considered to be one of his own people, so how could I be concerned about such a small matter?” He raised his hand, “Since we are here, let’s sit down together and have a good time.”

       “Okay, let’s continue drinking.” Fang Mingyan also smiled and sat down on the sofa.

       The private area suddenly became lively again.

       Fang Mingyan didn’t even look at Zhuo Yue again, leaving him standing alone and helpless. Zhuo Yue hesitated for a while and finally walked around to the man and sat down. The two men were talking about business, chatting and laughing very harmoniously. He didn’t understand, so he just sat quietly and sent text messages to the driver and Zhou Chi. After sending the message, he leaned back and felt something strange, and then he realised that Fang Mingyan had put his arm on the back of the sofa. He had a very strange feeling when he leaned against him like this, as if he was being held by him, placing himself within this man’s sphere of influence.

       “Pour the wine.” Fang Mingyan handed him the empty glass, and Zhuo Yue poured half a glass for him and handed it over.

       The man tightened his arms and held Zhuo Yue in his arms. His words were full of alcohol-tinged ambiguity, “I remember teaching you how to accompany someone for a drink. Have you forgotten all about it?”

       Zhuo Yue froze and looked up. There was a warning in Fang Mingyan’s slightly narrowed eyes, and he pressed the cup to his lips teasingly, “Try it, this wine is good.”

       He took a sip, and before the cold wine warmed up in his mouth, he was already covered in a kiss full of heat. Zhuo Yue was startled and put his hands on the man’s chest, trying to retreat. Fang Mingyan didn’t give him this chance. He held the back of his head with one hand and hooked his waist with the other, forcing the kiss to deepen. After Zhuo Yue swallowed every drop of the drink, he got a chance to breathe again.

       “It’s very sweet.” The man rubbed his fingers on his lips and said frivolously, “You came all the way here because you can’t sleep without me, eh?”

       After being forcibly kissed, Zhuo Yue’s mind was in chaos until he caught a glimpse of Zhang Jing looking at him out of the corner of his eye and it finally became clear. He looked at the man in front of him, his eyes moved, and then he slowly leaned over, rested his head on the man’s chest, and said softly, “I miss you.”

       There was a slight smile on Fang Mingyan’s lips, and he rubbed his hair lovingly, then turned to Zhang Jing and said helplessly, “I’m afraid I have to go first.”

       “What’s the rush? We’re all on the same side. Feel free to do whatever you want.” Zhang Jing’s smooth eyes flicked back and forth on Zhuo Yue.

       Zhuo Yue trembled slightly, unconsciously grabbing Fang Mingyan’s arm and burying his head a little further.

       “He tends to be shy in front of others, and I can’t have the best time. Why don’t we get together some other time when we have free time.” The man smiled, stood up and waved to the others, “Everyone, enjoy yourselves. Tonight’s bills are on me.” After saying that, he put his arms around Zhuo Yue’s waist and walked out.

       Zhuo Yue allowed Fang Mingyan to hold him in his arms, but his steps quickened unknowingly as if he were escaping in a hurry.

       Outside the door, the cold winter night wind blew into his face and into his collar, blowing away all the heat from my body. Zhuo Yue stood silently, his chest heaving under his thick coat as if he wanted to spit out all the dirty breath in his chest.

       Chen Li saw them coming out and immediately came over to open the car door.

       The black car drove smoothly on the road, and the reversing street lights cast a faint light on their faces, flickering on and off. Zhuo Yue hadn’t completely relaxed until this moment, quietly looking out the window in the back seat.

       “Why are you here?” A man’s deep voice sounded next to him.

       If you were scared, why did you go in?

       Zhuo Yue was silent for a while and said, “I couldn’t reach you, and I was afraid that something might have happened to you.”

       “Whether something happens to me or not, if you go into a place like that, it’s the same as throwing yourself into a trap.”

       “I want… to find you.” Zhuo Yue sat with his eyes lowered, and his voice was very soft.

       Between light and darkness, Fang Mingyan’s eyes softened for a moment, and he slowly said, “How do you think things would end up if I were to confront Zhang Jing for you, damaging our relationship?”

       Zhuo Yue was stunned; his lips moved, but no sound came out.

       “In this industry, many things are beyond one’s control,” Fang Mingyan looked at him, “It’s like I know Zhang Jing is a scumbag, but for the sake of business, I still have to maintain a facade of camaraderie with him. Some matters don’t necessarily have to be resolved through direct confrontation.” He paused, “I don’t mean to ask you to sell your body to please others. I just want to tell you that you should learn how to deal with such things skillfully alone. I can protect you once or twice, but I can’t be by your side all the time. Zhuo Yue, after the ups and downs you’ve experienced, you should understand that every edge will be worn down through trials and tribulations. If you insist on being tough, you’ll only end up hurting yourself more.”

       Zhuo Yue was silent for a long time and asked, “In this situation, would it be better for me to sit down and drink with him?”

       Seeing his serious expression, the smile in the man’s eyes grew thicker, and he said nonchalantly, “There are a lot of lessons to be learnt from drinking. Seeing that you went deep into the tiger’s den to save me today, I will reluctantly teach you once.”

       Zhuo Yue had a smile on his lips and said, “Okay.”

Chapter 25 – Thousand Years Lamp

January 17, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       When Song Jun saw Xia Hongshen appear, he subconsciously stood behind Xia Hongshen. However, Feng Junyuan was still wary of Xia Hongshen. He returned to the operating table and looked at the weak Zeng Yuanyuan.

       By now, both Song Jun and Feng Junyuan could sense that the ghost of this little girl did not seem to want to hurt them but rather protect them.

       Perhaps her purpose was to stop the two of them and prevent Xiang Wenshi from finding them.

       As for who Xiang Wenshi was and what his purpose was, Song Jun had no clue. The only thing he was sure of was that he believed in Xia Hongshen.

       Xia Hongshen’s voice was cold, and he said to Xiang Wenshi, “Who are you? You dare to covet my people.”

       Xiang Wenshi frowned slightly, “Your people? Do you mean Song Jun or Feng Junyuan?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “They’re all mine.”

       Song Jun heard this and looked at Xia Hongshen in shock.

       Feng Junyuan retorted, “Who is yours!”

       Xiang Wenshi sneered twice, “You are a little too greedy.”

       Xia Hongshen snorted lightly.

       Xiang Wenshi said, “If you want Song Jun, give me Feng Junyuan.”

       Xia Hongshen reached out to clasp Xiang Wenshi’s throat, “Wishful thinking.”

       Xiang Wenshi hurriedly backed away and raised his hands to block Xia Hongshen. He put the fingers of his hands together in front of his chest, then raised his hands to both sides, erecting a barrier in front of him.

       Xia Hongshen turned his palm into a sharp point and used spiritual power to split his barrier.

       Xiang Wenshi stepped back and erected barriers in front of him one after another.

       Xia Hongshen then raised his hand and said, “Fengliu!”

       Feng Junyuan didn’t even have the chance to refuse; the golden light shimmered and transformed into gilded phoenix wings, falling into Xia Hongshen’s hands.

       Xia Hongshen waved his gilded phoenix wings and cleaved throughall the barriers that Xiang Wenshi had erected one after another.

       As Xiang Wenshi stepped back, his body suddenly changed and turned into a huge red fox in front of everyone. The fox was dexterous and ran away quickly to avoid Xia Hongshen’s slashing edge. It then landed next to Song Jun.

       Song Jun couldn’t avoid it, and Xiang Wenshi wrapped his body around him with his fox tail and then ran quickly out of the corridor.

       Xia Hongshen immediately chased after him but hesitated to swing the gilded phoenix wings carelessly for fear of hurting Song Jun.

       Song Jun wanted to struggle, but the wide and fluffy fox tail wrapped tightly around him, and there was no way he could escape from Xiang Wenshi’s grasp.

       Xiang Wenshi quickly ran out of the operating room with him on his back and then ran along the corridor to the end, trying to rush out of the closed door and escape from the building.

       However, when he bumped into it, he felt strong resistance and blocked himself back.

       Xia Hongshen walked towards him slowly and said, “Do you think you can escape?”

       Xiang Wenshi instantly transformed into a human form. He held Song Jun’s wrist with one hand and pinched Song Jun’s neck with the other. He said to Xia Hongshen, “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill him?”

       “Not afraid,” Xia Hongshen replied, raising his hand and stabbing the gilded phoenix wings towards Xiang Wenshi but still avoiding Song Jun.

       Xiang Wenshi suddenly dug his fingernails into Song Jun’s neck.

       Song Jun felt a wave of intense pain, looking at Xia Hongshen but unable to utter a word.

       Xia Hongshen withdrew the weapon.

       Xiang Wenshi laughed, “He may not die, but I can make him suffer.”

       “Demon fox,” Xia Hongshen said, “What exactly do you want?”

       Xiang Wenshi said, “Give Song Jun to me and let me go.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “I told you, it’s just wishful thinking.”

       Xiang Wenshi sneered, “Demon Zhen1Zhenniao, often simply zhen, is a name given in many Chinese myths, annals, and poetry to poisonous birds that are said to have existed in what is now southern China, you are just a demonic beast that just cultivated an immortal body. Why is it just wishful thinking for me?”

       Xia Hongshen said calmly, “With your cultivation level, you can’t control him at all. Even if you manage to obtain him, you shouldn’t harbour illusions of seizing his spiritual power. It’s likely to backfire, and you might end up being harmed by his vicious energy.”

       “I don’t believe it!” Xiang Wenshi said.

       Song Jun was dizzy and couldn’t hear what they were saying at all. His neck hurt, and he felt that Xiang Wenshi’s nails were about to pierce his throat. He was still a little sad because Xia Hongshen was standing opposite him but had no intention of saving him.

       Xia Hongshen said, “In fact, there is no need for him at all. If you want to know, I can hand over the Fengliu to you so you can find out for yourself once you try it.”

       Xiang Wenshi looked at the gilded phoenix wings with golden light flowing in Xia Hongshen’s hand and suddenly hesitated.

       Xia Hongshen raised his hand, ran his fingers across the sharp blade of the gilded phoenix wings, and then said to Xiang Wenshi, “I have sealed its form. You can take it and try.”

       After saying that, Xia Hongshen raised his hand and threw the gilded phoenix wings to Xiang Wenshi.

       Xiang Wenshi reached out to receive the gilded phoenix wings but did not let go of his hand on Song Jun’s throat. However, the moment he held the gilded phoenix wings, he suddenly felt a cold wind coming.

       In fact, it was not a cold wind at all, but the spiritual energy of the gilded phoenix wings gathered into a sharp edge and struck Xiang Wenshi’s body.

       Xiang Wenshi didn’t even feel pain but felt a chill before his body was split in half by the gilded phoenix wings.

       At the moment of death, Xiang Wenshi transformed into his original form. The huge fox body fell to the ground, and blood spread on the ground.

       Song Jun had already fainted, and without the support of Xiang Wenshi, his body immediately slid to the ground.

       Xia Hongshen stretched his body, transformed into a giant beast shape, and used his body to cushion Song Jun. Then he turned his head and gently rubbed his soft forehead against Song Jun’s body.

       When Song Jun woke up, he was already lying in the doctor’s duty room of the thoracic surgery department. He sat up, feeling a little confused at first. Later, he found himself unsure whether the events that had occurred earlier were real or just a dream.

       After a while, Feng Junyuan opened the door and walked in.

       Song Jun looked at him with a questioning look on his face. Feng Junyuan sat down by the bed and said, “Xiang Wenshi is dead.”

       Song Jun’s eyes widened in shock.

       Xiang Wenshi was split in half by Xia Hongshen with gilded phoenix wings, and the demon body was also taken away by Xia Hongshen. Now, no one in the hospital knew why Dr. Xiang had suddenly disappeared. There was originally an operation in the afternoon, but he could not be found temporarily, so they had to arrange for another doctor to perform the operation.

       Song Jun knew that it was not a dream, that everything really happened.

       He reached out and touched his neck, which was wrapped in gauze.

       Feng Junyuan asked him, “Are you okay?”

       Song Jun did not answer but asked, “Where is the little girl?”

       Feng Junyuan lowered his head, “Yuanyuan is already dead, but she still has some attachment, so she refuses to leave. Xia Hongshen said he would find someone to transcend Yuanyuan.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, a nurse ran over and knocked on the door, saying with a surprised look on his face, “Doctor Feng, there is a monk outside looking for you.”

       Monk?

       Somehow, Song Jun immediately remembered someone.

       He got off the bed and followed Feng Junyuan out. He saw a monk in a Buddhist robe standing in front of the nurse’s station. It turned out to be the monk Yun Po whom he had met once. Song Jun still had the business card that Yun Po gave him at that time, as well as the talisman paper that was given to him, which he had been carrying with him all the time.

       However, the talisman paper didn’t seem to be of much use. Song Jun still encountered various strange encounters for a long time.

       When Yun Po saw Song Jun and Feng Junyuan, he immediately came over. He greeted Song Jun and said, “Is Young Benefactor well?”

       Song Jun suddenly felt a little panicked and quickly responded, “I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Master.”

       Yun Po looked at him with a smile for a while and then said to Feng Junyuan, “Where is the place where the little girl died? Take me to see it.”

       Feng Junyuan was stunned and said, “It’s in the operating room. There’s no way to get in now.”

       Yun Po said to him, “It doesn’t matter; it can be done outside. Take me there. My time is very precious, and you will be charged more for overtime.”

       Feng Junyuan glanced at Song Jun and seemed to think that Yun Po was a little unreliable. But since it was Xia Hongshen who called… Feng Junyuan hesitated for a moment and said to him, “Follow me.”

       Yun Po followed Feng Junyuan and walked towards the elevator.

       Song Jun reached out and touched his neck and did not go with them again. He had not forgotten why he came to the hospital today. He went to the clinical laboratory to get a blood sample, sent it back to the lab, and then went directly back to the dormitory to rest.

       He hadn’t had lunch yet, but he felt like he had no appetite.

       After returning to the dormitory, he went to the water room and washed his face.

       Just as he poured out the water in the basin, he heard someone’s footsteps going up the stairs.

       Song Jun looked towards the corridor outside and saw Monk Yun Po coming upstairs. When he reached the second floor, he saw Song Jun first, smiled and waved to Song Jun before walking straight to the door of Xia Hongshen’s room and knocking on the door.

       The door opened quickly. Yun Po entered Xia Hongshen’s room, and then the door suddenly closed from the inside.

       Song Jun felt depressed for no reason, poured the water out of the basin, and went back to his room.

       When Yun Po saw Xia Hongshen, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, “The security guard in the hospital almost kicked me out.”

       Xia Hongshen glanced at him, “What did you do?”

       Yun Po said, “I performed a ritual to guide that little girl’s soul, sending her to the cycle of reincarnation. She lingered in the hospital for too long, reluctant to leave, and it took quite an effort on my part. As for your little friend, not adorable at all. When security showed up, he just ran off, leaving me alone to be chased up two floors by the security guard.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “That’s how Fengliu is.”

       Yun Po stood up and came to Xia Hongshen’s side, “That fox demon had considerable cultivation. It’s worthwhile that he died at Feng Junyuan’s hands. But did you manage to retrieve his inner core?”

       “You want his inner core?” Xia Hongshen asked, “I’m afraid I can’t give it to you. His inner core has already been absorbed by the fragments of the Thousand Years Lamp.”

       Yun Po was stunned when he heard this.

       Xia Hongshen reached into his pocket and took out a glass fragment, which looked exactly the same as the two fragments he had before. One of them was made into a mobile phone chain and given to Song Jun.

       “Tsk, tsk,” Yun Po reached out and wanted to snatch it from Xia Hongshen’s hand, but Xia Hongshen retracted his hand and avoided it.

       Yun Po said, “It truly deserves to be a dowry of Princess Mei Ling. The spiritual energy of the Thousand Years Lamp is indeed incomparable to ordinary immortal treasures.” But then he added, “If Xiang Wenshi hadn’t obtained these fragments, his cultivation wouldn’t have advanced so rapidly, and he wouldn’t have dared to scheme against Song Jun. In retrospect, the Thousand Years Lamp seems more like an ominous object.”

       Xia Hongshen took the fragments back and said, “Thousand Years Lamp are all completed.”

       “Three pieces?” Yun Po asked.

       Xia Hongshen nodded, “The lamp holder and wick are the ones still left in the mortal world.”

       Yun Po looked at him for a moment and said, “You are not in a hurry to find the Thousand Years Lamp at all, are you? You have been wandering around the world for such a long time. How come you haven’t found them all now if you really want to find them?”

       Hearing this, Xia Hongshen glanced at Yun Po and said, “What I’m looking for is not the Thousand Years Lamp in the first place.”

       Yun Po frowned, then suddenly realised, “Oh—”

       Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of Xia Hongshen’s room.

Chapter 26 – The Mist (2)

January 16, 2024 / / 2 Comments

       Moschery shielded Qin Yun’s head and waited until the turbulence of takeoff had passed before bracing himself.

       “Qin Yun?” He lifted up the other person’s drenched bangs. The whites of the guide’s eyes had turned pure gold, and the pupils were staring unfocused at one point.

       “Chris!” Moschery shouted. He held Qin Yun in his arms and shouted again at a higher volume, “Chris!”

       There was a crackling sound from the c0ckpit, and Chris ran out in a panic, shouting, “I-It’s my first time to fly a spacecraft! My driver’s license is expired…” He was startled when he saw Qin Yun and then exclaimed, “Oh my God! How much stimulant did he use?!”

       Moschery remained silent with a stern expression. He watched as Chris took out the detection device and skillfully began the examination.

       “How is he?” The Emperor asked nervously, “Is he okay?”

      Chris gave him a strange look, “Isn’t he your guide… Shouldn’t you know the situation best?”

       Moschery, of course, didn’t want to admit that he hadn’t made the final mark with Qin Yun yet, so he could only scowled and coldly said, “Shut up!”

      Chris pursed his lips and complained in a low voice, “Such a bad temper… Your guide must be too doting on you.”

       Moschery: “…”

 

       Qin Yun regained some consciousness and saw Chris tending to the needle marks on his wrist, and the young researcher felt the man under his hand struggle.

       “Ah…I’m not a bad person.” Chris quickly raised his hands and added weakly, “Although I once went astray…but I have changed my ways now!”

       Qin Yun relaxed and found himself leaning against Moschery. The sentinel lowered his head, grabbed his chin and kissed him without saying a word.

       “Ahem…” Chris was embarrassed. He shifted his gaze and started whistling.

       Qin Yun blushed, and Moschery, on the other hand, kissed quite earnestly. After a while, he moved away, furrowing his brow and asking, “Why didn’t the pheromones work?”

      Chris finally had the chance to come over, “No way…” His eyes fell on Qin Yun’s neck, “What is this?!”

       “…” Qin Yun reached out to cover the eye of the needle and said vaguely, “It’s nothing… I’ve been injected with a suppressant…”

      Chris’ expression became serious. He didn’t speak and didn’t listen to Qin Yun’s explanation. He stubbornly carefully put the blood collected previously into the instrument and chose the option to test the ‘guide’ value.

       Moschery’s expression didn’t look good, “What on earth did they inject you with?”

       “…Nothing.” Qin Yun said weakly. He pretended to look around and changed the topic, “Where is Zhongyan?”

 

       Then he saw the Emperor’s expression almost crumbling in an instant.

 

       Moschery was silent for a long time. He stared closely into Qin Yun’s eyes and said word by word, “It’s right at your feet, can’t you see it?”

       At the same time, the red light on the tester rang sharply…

 

       Lin Dongliang, amidst the recent conflicts between the cabinet and the military, received the main war declaration from the Eta Star. His expression changed drastically upon seeing the war decree. The pretext used was ‘territorial infringement’, and the transmitted images clearly displayed Qin Yun’s unchanged military boots with the Imperial Military Department insignia. Below was the proof of Lan Zhi’s brain death and detailed information about the other party’s high-level SSS guide.

       Berlin sat across from him calmly. Her eyes fell on Skarter’s face with contempt, “The general’s soldiers are indeed extraordinary. If I remember correctly, isn’t he also a low-level guide?”

       Lin Dongliang took a deep breath. Unable to expose the relationship between Qin Yun and Moschery yet wanting to protect the former, he almost didn’t hesitate to take the responsibility himself, “It’s me…”

       “I sent him there.” Skarter said with a smile. He took a deep look at Lin Dongliang with gentle eyes, “I suspected that there was a god-level gene on Eta Star, so I asked someone to investigate.”

       Berlin raised her eyebrows, laughed, and stretched out her hands to straighten her hair, “Violating the peace treaty is a serious crime, General. Haven’t you thought about the consequences?”

       Skarter did not answer. He stood up, took off the military medal on his shoulder and gently placed it on Lin Dongliang’s table. He looked sideways at Berlin and said, “I will accept Eta Star’s declaration of war… regardless of the outcome. But I’ll handle it on my terms.”

 

       Moschery stood in the c0ckpit and watched the holographic video sent by Lin Dongliang in silence. The other person no longer had his signature gentle expression; his eyes were as cold as ice, and he had a Skarter military badge on his chest.

       “The military department was seized of half of its troops by the cabinet under the pretext of investigation… Eta Star asked Olympus to increase its troops, and the number of guides and sentinels was more than three times ours.”

       “Skarter has gone to the front line immediately, and I will go there later to assist the General.”

       “General Tristana Lane will do his best to contain the cabinet and wait for the safe return of you and Guide Qin.”

       “On the issue of military support, I have sent a request to Duke Garcia… but as of now, there has been no response.” Lin Dongliang lowered his head and reached out to cover the military medal on his chest, “Your Majesty, I have one last personal request.”

       He smiled and looked at Moschery on the other side of the screen, “We will fight to the last moment. If something unfortunate happens, please bury me and General Skarter together.”

       “I believe that one day, justice will break the shackles of the system.” Lin Dongliang bowed respectfully, “I look forward to the time when you regain Olympus.”

 

      Chris carefully observed Moschery’s face from the side. After a while, he finally couldn’t help but hesitantly say, “In half an hour… he will completely lose his ability to guide… Why don’t you go and take a look?”

       Moschery didn’t answer. He turned around and walked to the back cabin. Chris behind him scratched his hair and could only follow helplessly.

       The temporary spaceship did not have a rest area. Qin Yun slept quietly on Moschery’s clothes, and Zhongyan positioned him in the middle. When Moschery entered, he saw that the rhinestone Toothless made by the guide was hung around the neck.

       The other end of the pendant was held in Qin Yun’s hand. He could no longer see the dragon. He could only tell where Zhongyan was by relying on the small pendant.

      Chris turned away, unable to bear to look any further, but Moschery’s expression did not change.

       He knelt down and gently loosened Qin Yun’s fingers, and took him into his arms.

 

       Qin Yun woke up.

       “What’s wrong?” Even though he was about to lose his guide ability, Qin Yun could still detect Moschery’s emotional problems immediately, “Did something happen to the royal family?”

       Moschery held the hand that the other party extended, and he stroked the bandage on Qin Yun’s wrist, “It’s fine. Go back to sleep.”

       “Can’t sleep anymore…” Qin Yun muttered, and he adjusted his position to make himself as comfortable as possible in the arms of His Majesty the Emperor.

       Moschery opened the visor of the rear cabin. The spacecraft had not yet left the atmosphere of Eta Star, and the floating clouds were filled with golden morning light.

 

       “How much longer?” Qin Yun suddenly asked, “My guide ability?”

       Moschery didn’t speak. After a long time, he answered indirectly, “It’s my fault. There are no god-level genes on Eta. We fell into Olympus’s trap.”

       “Oh…” Qin Yun was stunned. He didn’t expect Moschery to apologise, so he could only pretend to be relaxed and said, “Fortunately, we didn’t make the final mark… Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the confidence to hypnotise your consciousness.”

       “Do you want me to forget about you?” Moschery looked down at him.

       “…” Qin Yun opened his mouth.

       Moschery: “You are my guide.”

       “…I will no longer be a guide.” Qin Yun said sternly, “And…there may be real god-level in the future…”

       “There won’t be any more god-level.” Moschery said calmly, “From now on, I only have you.”

 

       Qin Yun raised his arms to cover his eyes. He could clearly feel that his mental power was gradually dissipating. Moschery interlaced his finger with his, lowered his head and kissed each other tenderly.

       “I… I want to perform the ritual.” Qin Yun’s eyes were red, but no tears fell. He was somewhat nervous. After taking a deep breath, he hesitated for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice, “I would like to be your lighthouse, guiding your way, smoothing the scars of loneliness and the surges of stormy seas.”

       This was the oath that the guide made when they first signed a contract with the sentinel. Qin Yun didn’t know whether Moschery understood it or not, so he looked at the other party with some anticipation and caution.

       Moschery smiled; he closed his eyes piously, put his forehead against Qin Yun, and said in a low and sweet voice, “My life belongs to you, and your soul…”

 

       The Emperor embraced his guide under the rising sun, and the golden light fell on them.

 

       “And my soul, will be with you.”

The author has something to say:
It’s not actually that heartbreaking… considering I’m typing on my knees (just kidding)

Chapter 8 – To Fall Ill

January 14, 2024 / / 2 Comments

       Zhuo Yue did not reject the idea of homosexuality and thought it was just another form of love, but he did not consider himself homosexual. He had a girlfriend when he was studying at drama school. Although they didn’t have a substantial relationship, he did feel something during the kisses. That impulse stemmed from the instinct of a man.

       But at this moment, he had the same impulse from witnessing the SM behaviour of two men. That desire grew wildly like weeds in the spring breeze. When he found that he had started caressing his genitals without knowing, he trembled all over, got up and rushed into the bathroom.

       Because masturbating for this kind of thing was really hard for him to accept. He doused himself with cold water and finally suppressed the evil fire with a trembling body. When he woke up the next day, his head was groggy, and his breathing was heavy and blocked.

       He obviously…caught a cold.

       Zhuo Yue struggled to get up, washed briefly and then went downstairs to have breakfast. When he saw Fang Mingyan, his face turned red. He said, “Morning” and looked away.

       “You look so bad. You didn’t sleep well?” the man asked while drinking coffee.

       “…Yeah.” He responded softly, drank a small bowl of porridge, and then returned to the room to recite his lines.

       Fang Mingyan raised his lips silently at his back. Today he had some work matters to deal with, so he went to the company after breakfast. When he came back in the afternoon, the butler Zhou Chi said, “Young Master Ming, Mr. Zhuo barely had anything to eat at noon, and he said there was no need to call him for dinner. So can you…”

       “I’ll go up and have a look.”

       The man stood outside the guest room door and knocked, but there was no movement. He pushed the door open and entered, the room was dark with no lights on. He looked around and saw no one. He was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed a pile of quilts on the single sofa by the window. He took a closer look and saw Zhu Yue was curled up in a ball under the quilt. He tilted his head like a rice dumpling and fell asleep, holding a book in his hand.

       “Zhuo Yue?” Fang Mingyan called softly.

       The other party’s eyebrows moved. He woke up in a daze, and his black and white eyes looked at him confusedly.

       “It’s time to eat.”

       “Yeah, coming.” His voice was muffled.

       The man noticed something strange and raised his hand to turn on the light. He found that the man huddled under the quilt was listless, and his face was abnormally red. He put his hand on his forehead and frowned, “You have a fever.” He said. Then he removed the quilt and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

       Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhu Yue grabbed the quilt tighter, like a snail shrinking into its shell, and refused, “I’m not going.”

       Fang Mingyan was puzzled by his stubborn attitude, “Why?”

       “It’s just a cold. I’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep…” He was breathing hard and had a heavy nasal voice.

       “Whether it’s a cold or not, that needs a doctor to determine.”

       “I won’t go.”

       The man shook his head helplessly and simply picked him up with the quilt on his side and placed him on the bed. Then he came in with a medicine box and took his ear temperature with a thermometer. “Thirty-eight point five degrees. Zhuo Yue, the temperature in the room is constant. Why do you catch a cold?”

       He lay there with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes and said nothing.

       “Do you want to answer the question, or do you want me to roll you up in a quilt and take you to the hospital?”

       He turned his head slightly and whispered, “I took a cold shower yesterday.”

       A trace of surprise flashed in Fang Mingyan’s eyes, and then he curled his lips in understanding and did not continue to ask. After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came to see a doctor in a white coat. He confirmed it was just a common cold and fever, prescribed some medicine and left. The man forced him to eat a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, then took fever-reducing medicine. The man put a small ice pack on his forehead to cool down and joked, “Taking a cold bath. You are very self-restraint.”

       Zhuo Yue was so groggy that he didn’t hear clearly what he said, so he just sighed, closed his eyes and fell asleep. The distant and indifferent gaze in his eyes was covered, making him look a little more gentle. The eyelashes quivered gently between breaths, like the wings of a small insect.

       Fang Mingyan looked at the sleeping face sunken into the soft pillow, smiled lightly, and reached out to tuck him in.

       In order for the master to have a comprehensive understanding of the slave’s behaviour, numerous prisms at different angles were embedded in the walls of the cage. Zhuo Yue’s whereabouts were revealed the moment he appeared at the stairs that night. What surprised the man was that his eyes did not show disgust or rejection when he looked at their behaviour. Instead, his eyes turned from shock to shame, and finally, he ran away quietly. It now appeared that he had developed a desire, and instead of masturbating, he took a cold shower.

       This approach fits his personality very well and was very interesting.

       Zhuo Yue’s constitution was not very good to begin with. Recently, he was pursued for debts, narrowly avoided a compromising situation, and was stressed about auditions. All of this left him physically and mentally exhausted. Finally, he relaxed a little under Fang Mingyan’s wings, but his vitality hadn’t fully recovered. The ordeal with the cold was quite severe, with a fluctuating fever persisting for three days before the temperature finally subsided.

       He opened his eyes and looked at the man leaning on the bedside reading the report. The other party personally took care of him patiently and meticulously for three days. He was so grateful for the patience and care he had received, but he didn’t know how to say it.

       The room was very quiet. Fang Mingyan felt his gaze, lowered his head and asked, “You’re awake, are you thirsty?”

       Zhuo Yue shook his head and said with some embarrassment, “I’m sorry for causing trouble to you these days.”

       The man smiled and naturally stretched out his hand to touch his head, “If you feel sorry, please get better soon.”

       A cold like this was easy to get rid of and sometimes lasted for ten days and half a month. Fang Mingyan cared about everything for him and asked the chef to prepare nutritious meals for him without showing any signs of inconvenience. Zhuo Yue, though grateful, was not adept at expressing his feelings eloquently. He just took the initiative to make him a cup of tea or cut some fruits and silently did the trivial things he could. Fang Mingyan never acted like a boss towards him. Ever since he discovered Zhuo Yue’s tendency to blush, he often teased him deliberately. After getting along for a period of time, Zhuo Yue, who was cautious at the beginning, gradually adapted to the situation and became familiar with each other’s styles.

       That night, the two had dinner. Zhuo Yue made black tea and handed it to Fang Mingyan.

       “Sit down.” The man stopped him.

       A variety show was playing on the TV, and a popular girl group sang and danced happily on the brightly lit stage.

       “What do you think?” Fang Mingyan asked.

       Zhuo Yue looked at it for a while and said, “It’s pretty good.”

       “If you could pick someone to be your girlfriend, who would you choose?”

       He was stunned and asked, “Are you going to create a scandal?”

       Fang Mingyan smiled faintly and did not respond.

       Since there was already an agreement to hand over oneself to the other party, Zhuo Yue stopped asking, looked at it again and said, “The second one from the left.”

       “Reason?”

       “Looks relatively gentle and not very scheming.”

       The man curled his lips while looking at the TV, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, “This kind of scheming heart, if it’s noticeable to others, indicates a low level of sophistication. In the entertainment industry, there was no such thing as true unity or peaceful coexistence. If you observe carefully, you will find that the person you chose answered the host’s questions at least twice and deliberately fell down to steal the spotlight in the game. It’s just that she did it more naturally, without any obvious signs of intent,” He glanced at Zhuo Yue and said, “Your insight is terrible, but your choice is correct. If you want to stir up sex scandals, it is best to choose such a useful and smart girl.”

       “No matter what the company arranges, I will cooperate.”

       Such a serious and rigid attitude amused Fang Mingyan, who leaned on the sofa and looked at him with half-squinted eyes.

       Zhuo Yue felt uncomfortable and asked awkwardly, “What’s wrong?”

       “When you are serious.” The man’s lips curved into a smile, “You do exude a restrained charm.”

       “…it’s called boring.”

       “Then let’s talk about something that’s not boring.” Fang Mingyan changed the subject, “For example, why do you resist going to the hospital?”

       Zhuo Yue was stunned. He was silent for a moment, and said, “The atmosphere in the hospital feels very depressing.”

       “You know I can tell if you’re lying.” The man’s eyes were as clear as cold stars.

       Zhuo Yue’s gaze shifted, turning towards the teacup in his hand, and slowly said, “My biological mother suffered from gastric cancer. When it was discovered, it was already in the late stage, and she eventually passed away in a hospital bed. She was extremely thin in those last days. I was very young at that time and couldn’t do anything except cry. When she was in intense pain, she would bite the pillow and her own arm, and her mouth would be filled with blood. I didn’t dare to sleep every night because I was afraid that if I fell asleep and woke up again, she would… be gone.” He paused for a moment and continued, “Later, she died, and I couldn’t contact any relatives, so I stayed in the morgue for two days. Later, several kind-hearted neighbours helped organize the funeral, and she was cremated. I don’t like going to the hospital; it gives me a sense of fear.” These words were spoken very slowly, without any embellishments on past events, yet they conveyed the desolation and despair of a six-year-old child at that time. Many years had passed, but he still harboured a fear of the place that took his mother away.

       Seeing him showing his vulnerability to himself without reservation, Fang Mingyan felt a little unbearable, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t ask these things.”

       “It’s been a long time.” Zhuo Yue smiled at him and suddenly said, “If Chairman Fang feels sorry, why not tell me something you’re afraid of in exchange.”

       The man was startled for a moment, then smiled like a spring breeze, “Cat.”

       “You’re afraid of cats?” Zhuo Yue opened his eyes wide.

       Fang Mingyan saw his surprised look and smiled, “You look like you’ve discovered a new world.”

       “Why are you afraid of cats?”

       “I won’t tell you.”

       Zhuo Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled. His handsome face was like a white plum blossom reflecting the snow, as beautiful as a painting.

Chapter 25 – The Mist (1)

January 12, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       The corridor of the laboratory was damp and dark. As Qin Yun walked, he couldn’t help but smell the remaining scent of Moschery’s pheromones on his body. None of the gatekeepers doubted his identity as a ‘sentinel’ and let him pass after looking at the name tag.

       The squeaking sound of military boots on the ground was a bit loud in the quiet corridor. Qin Yun lowered the brim of his hat and slowly peered through the windows one after another. His expression was tense as he carefully expanded his mental web.

       When he was almost at the end, someone stopped him.

 

       “Why is it so slow today?” The person who came was a sentinel, grumbling under his breath and pushing Qin Yun’s back, “The innermost room. Hurry up and get it in.”

       Qin Yun nodded vaguely. He stumbled a little because he was pushed. As he hastened forward, he almost collided with the door. Fortunately, the door was slightly ajar

 

       He pushed the door open with the corner of the dinner tray, and Qin Yun discovered that it was a very large laboratory. There was an unconscious avian man tied up in the corner, the lower half of his body bruised and battered.

       Several strong sentinels pressed a slender boy onto the experimental table, ignoring the other’s screams and struggles.

       “Where’s the syringe?” Qin Yun heard one of them ask, “Try to see if there’s any resistance…” The other person seemed to be in a good mood and smiled, “I heard that the blood of these beasts is like an aphrodisiac for humans, is that true?”

       “Don’t overdo it,” another person warned.

       “We’re just having some fun. It won’t kill anyone.”

       Qin Yun stood stiffly on the spot, and the dinner tray in his hand fell to the ground with a ‘bang’ sound…

 

       Lan Zhi stopped resisting when he saw the sentinel that was holding him down suddenly fall to the ground and fall unconscious. He looked up at Qin Yun blankly and then stared at the ground in a daze, “Are they… dead??”

       The whites of Qin Yun’s eyes glowed with light gold. He took off his clothes and covered the boy, “No. Just hypnotised.” After a pause, he looked at Lan Zhi, “Can you stand up? I’ll take you out of here.”

       The young man seemed to have tried it and said in frustration, “No… I don’t have any strength in my legs…”

       Qin Yun frowned. He bent down, and as soon as his arm wrapped around the young man’s back, a sharp pain suddenly came from his shoulder blade, and Lan Zhi’s hand somehow had an extra dagger condensed with spiritual energy.

       Qin Yun shook him off violently and said angrily, “You’re a guide?!”

       Lan Zhi didn’t say anything. He smiled strangely and made a strange gesture. Before Qin Yun could recover from the pain, he was clipped with both arms backwards and pressed face down hard on the experimental table.

 

       “…” Qin Yun almost fainted from the pain and closed his eyes with a pale face.

       “He’s a guide.” The sentinel pressing him sniffed lightly, “He’s been marked.”

       Qin Yun remained silent. Lan Zhi grabbed his hair and forced him to look up, “Where is your sentinel?”

       As expected, he didn’t get any answer. Lan Zhi didn’t mind. He stood up and directed the other standing sentinel, “Take that thing out.”

       The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment and took out a tube of reagent from his pocket.

 

       “Do you know what this is?” Lan Zhi shook the needle and stretched out his fingers to press Qin Yun’s carotid artery, “Tell me where your sentinel is?”

       Qin Yun clenched his fists.

       Lan Zhi clicked his tongue and shook his head, “What a pity… You didn’t establish the final mark with him? You are obviously a low-level…” The young man’s eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. The sentinel was the first to notice something was wrong. He quickly hugged him, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Yun had opened his eyes at some point, and the golden colour in his eyes seemed to overflow.

       “In-inject him..!” Lan Zhi screamed with his last bit of consciousness, and then he was like a puppet whose strings were suddenly cut off, and in an instant, he lost his life.

 

       The golden colour in Qin Yun’s eyes slowly faded, and he looked like he had just been fished out of the water. His bangs were wet and stuck to his pale face.

       The sentinel, who was holding Lan Zhi, had an ugly expression on his face, “Brain dead? …How did you do it?”

       Qin Yun moved his lips, but he no longer had the strength to speak.

       The sentinel narrowed his eyes. It took some effort for him to pull out the tightly held needle in Lan Zhi’s hand. He took a few steps forward and stared at Qin Yun condescendingly, “You are that person’s guide.” He said with a firm tone, and then he stretched out his hand and pressed Qin Yun’s neck.

 

       When the cold needle touched his neck, Qin Yun trembled subconsciously. He lowered his head and looked at the slowly decreasing liquid in the needle from the corner of his eye.

       “It’s too late,” another person exclaimed in fear, “that person is here.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, a huge dragon claw overturned the entire roof of the building from the outside.

 

       Qin Yun struggled to get up from the experimental table, his shoulder blades aching. He tried several times before pulling off the label on the reagent. When he saw the words on it clearly, Moschery had already walked up to him with a sword in hand.

       Qin Yun slowly raised his head slowly and was taken into the Emperor’s arms without a word.

       The raised roof filled with the morning breeze. Qin Yun stretched out his hand tremblingly to hug Moschery’s back. He loosened his clenched fist, and the label was blown away. It curled up a few times before it landed in the distance, revealing the front.

 

Serial Number: First Class Forbidden Substance.

Name: Brain Nerve Disruptors.

 

       “Let’s go.” Moschery embraced Qin Yun thoroughly before carrying him up, “Let’s get out of here.” He said, calmed down and carefully checked the other party’s injuries, “What’s that in your neck?”

       Qin Yun said nonchalantly, “Ah, they gave me a normal suppressant…”

       “Why would they give a low-level guide a suppressant?” Moschery frowned. He stretched out his thumb and pressed the eye of the needle, “Does it hurt?”

       Qin Yun opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to answer.

       Moschery observed his expression, “Is it that painful?” He lowered his head and got close to Qin Yun’s neck, “I’ll lick it for you…”

       Qin Yun didn’t say anything. He held Moschery’s shoulders tightly and buried his face in the other person’s neck.

       Moschery, with a somewhat smug disdain, remarked, “You are already this old yet still acting like a baby.” However, his grip on Qin Yun tightened even more.

 

       There were already many avian folk and sentinels gathered outside the experimental building, but Moschery didn’t take them seriously. He rode on the back of the dragon and signalled Zhongyan to attack the second body of the bird people directly in the air.

       “You assist Zhongyan in clearing the way, and I’ll deal with those behind.” Moschery drew out his sword, held the back of Qin Yun’s head, lowered his head and kissed his lips.

       Qin Yun only kissed the Emperor for a while, then reluctantly pushed the Emperor away. He wiped his mouth awkwardly, “That’s enough…”

       Moschery was not very happy, but he couldn’t let his displeasure show too much and asked the others to kiss him again, so he could only snort angrily and jump off the dragon’s back with his sword in hand.

       Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the stimulant from his bag with shaking hands and injected himself with one without hesitation.

       But his mental power was still being depleted.

       Qin Yun gritted his teeth, stretched out the guiding tendrils, and used the second stimulant.

       Zhongyan let out a low dragon roar, and Qin Yun controlled his guiding tendrils to split into a mesh, protecting the dragon’s chest and back like armour.

       The avian-man defence circle in the sky was severely torn open by Zhongyan, and the huge black wings were like a raging storm, indestructible.

       Qin Yun crushed the last stimulant syringe. His vision was blurry, and his wrists were stained with blood.

 

       Moschery had already run to the side of the spacecraft. Chris pulled up the handle in the c0ckpit, and Zhongyan flew down quickly. Moschery opened his arms to embrace Qin Yun and rolled in the moment the hatch closed.

The author has something to say:
T-the torture will be over soon…really…

No matter what, I can’t seemed to express my gratitude for the power of the overlord’s ticket in the prologue… So, I’ll thank you here first, and later I’ll add it to the prologue. Love you all, mwah!

Chapter 24 – The Little Girl

January 10, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Song Jun could not imagine what kind of accident would cause the hospital to seal up the entire staircase, but under these circumstances, he was not in the mood to inquire in detail with Feng Junyuan.

       This staircase suddenly appeared here, and it was an obvious trap waiting for them to step into.

       However, even if they didn’t go, there seemed to be no other better option.

       Feng Junyuan suddenly took a step forward, and Song Jun grabbed his hand.

       Song Jun was not a person who liked taking risks, but Feng Junyuan was different. He preferred to face danger head-on. Even if it might not end up well, it was better for him than waiting at the same place.

       Feng Junyuan said to Song Jun, “You go back and wait.”

       He always believed that he was the one who got Song Jun into trouble, that the little girl was against him, and that Song Jun was just innocently dragged in.

       Song Jun was a naturally kind-hearted person. The more Feng Junyuan said that he didn’t want to implicate him, the more worried he became about Feng Junyuan. Finally, he let go of Feng Junyuan’s hand and said, “I’ll go with you.”

       Feng Junyuan did not refuse him, and the two of them walked towards the stairwell.

       As soon as he stepped in, Song Jun saw a little girl wearing a patient’s uniform sitting on the steps with her back to them at the bottom of the stairs, humming softly.

       Feng Junyuan also stopped at this time, glanced at Song Jun, and then said to the little girl, “Are you Zeng Yuanyuan?”

       The little girl stopped humming.

       Feng Junyuan walked towards her.

       “Yuanyuan,” Feng Junyuan said as he walked down the stairs, “Do you hate me? Do you want to seek revenge on me?”

       The little girl raised her hand and hooked her fingers through her long hair and shook it gently.

       Feng Junyuan walked up to her and reached out to touch her shoulder. The little girl suddenly disappeared from there.

       Song Jun looked at Feng Junyuan’s movements and felt extremely nervous. At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tugging at the hem of his clothes. He turned around and saw the little girl standing next to him, pulling on the hem of his clothes and looking up at him with her pale little face.

       Song Jun was immediately frightened and took two steps back, almost falling down the stairs. Fortunately, he held on to the handrail in time.

       The little girl took a step forward to pull him, but suddenly, her eyes widened, and her expression became distorted. She raised her hands to cover her chest as if she was in pain.

       Song Jun took the opportunity to run towards Feng Junyuan, grabbed Feng Junyuan’s hand, and ran downstairs.

       Feng Junyuan glanced back at the little girl but did not stop and ran downstairs with Song Jun.

       The two of them ran three floors, and then they saw the little girl blocking their way. She stretched out her arms and held them back, refusing to let them pass.

       Song Jun gasped, grabbed Feng Junyuan’s arm and pulled forward hard.

       Feng Junyuan was almost knocked down by him and said, “What are you doing?”

       Song Jun said, “Can’t you transform? Why don’t you change quickly at this time?”

       Feng Junyuan suddenly became furious and yelled at Song Jun, “I can’t! I don’t know what’s going on!”

       After saying that, Feng Junyuan pulled Song Jun back to the upper floor, pushed open the stairwell door, and entered the corridor.

       After walking to the corridor, Feng Junyuan stopped because he found that this floor was the operating room.

       Compared with other inpatient floors, the operating room was more closed and dark, without any light.

       Feng Junyuan and Song Jun sat down against the chairs beside the corridor wall, and Song Jun sensed that Feng Junyuan was a bit furious.

       He didn’t spend much time with Feng Junyuan, but he knew that Feng Junyuan was a person with a bad temper. At this time, the two of them didn’t know where to go, so Song Jun asked Feng Junyuan, “When did you start seeing those things?”

       Feng Junyuan leaned his head against the wall and said, “Since I was little, I don’t remember when.” After that, he added, “It’s not like I can see everything; I can just see things from time to time.”

       Song Jun said, “I only saw those things when I came here to study. Last time you said I was marked, did you also see something?”

       Feng Junyuan looked at him and said silently, “I saw the scratches on your face. I know that they are not visible to ordinary people. It was a mark left by evil spirits.”

       Song Jun subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his face, “I think demons and ghosts like to haunt me. I don’t know why.”

       Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Feng Junyuan said, “Me too.”

       Song Jun took a long breath, “What should we do now?”

       Hearing this, Feng Junyuan stood up and suddenly shouted, “Zeng Yuanyuan, come out! If you want revenge, come at me. Don’t play tricks on us like this!”

       After speaking, Feng Junyuan pushed open the door of the operating room and walked inside.

       Of course, Song Jun didn’t want to wait alone. He followed Feng Junyuan in and saw Feng Junyuan running inside, opening the operating room doors one after another, looking for the little girl.

       Song Jun thought he was going crazy, but there was nothing he could do to stop him at this time.

       When Feng Junyuan pushed open a door in front of him, he suddenly stopped.

       Song Jun followed, stood next to Feng Junyuan and looked into the operating room. He found that there was someone inside and an operation was being performed.

       Feng Junyuan looked at the people on the operating table in a daze. The person lying on it was clearly a little girl, and among the people standing next to him, one of them was Feng Junyuan.

       This was an operation that had happened in the past. During this operation, a little girl named Zeng Yuanyuan stopped breathing and passed away from the world she had briefly lived in.

       Feng Junyuan watched the people next to the operating table unplug the little girl’s intubation, remove the anaesthesia needle, and suture her surgical incision. When all this was done, the people beside the operating table left silently, including himself, who was standing there. A minute later, he also left from the operating table.

       The little girl was the only one left on the operating table, and the lights dimmed. She had stopped breathing, and suddenly, her chest began to rise and fall as if she was in pain.

       She held her chest and began to breathe heavily, then slowly sat up from the operating table, turned sideways, jumped down, and walked towards Feng Junyuan’s direction with difficulty.

       Song Jun originally wanted to speak, but when he saw Feng Junyuan standing motionless, he fell silent again. He felt that Feng Junyuan was probably not as indifferent to the death of the little girl as he appeared on the surface.

       When Song Jun was very young, he had once dreamed of becoming a doctor. Sometimes, when his grandmother wasn’t feeling well, he would accompany her to the hospital and think that if he could become a doctor, he could prescribe medication for her. As he grew older, many of his childhood dreams became less realistic, and in the end, he didn’t choose that path.

       He didn’t feel like he had anything to regret, but at this time, he felt that he could understand Feng Junyuan’s mood.

       The little girl walked to Feng Junyuan. He squatted down, raised his hand to touch the little girl’s hair, and said, “I’m sorry, Doctor Feng can’t save you.”

       The little girl raised her head, looked at Feng Junyuan, and suddenly stretched out her hand and handed him something.

       Song Jun saw that it was a paper crane made of sugar paper.

       Feng Junyuan was stunned for a moment and said, “This is the paper crane I folded for you. Do you like it?”

       The little girl just looked at him with innocent eyes.

       Feng Junyuan said to her, “If you like it, should I fold it for you again?”

       The little girl didn’t speak, but in the next moment, her expression suddenly became ferocious.

       Song Jun was startled, thinking that the little girl wanted to hurt Feng Junyuan, but he didn’t expect the little girl to reach out and cover her chest with a very painful expression.

       “Yuanyuan?” Feng Junyuan called her name.

       The little girl took two steps back, leaned against the operating table, and slid to the ground.

       At this time, Song Jun heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. It was the sound of leather shoes, pacing neither hurriedly nor slowly, neither lightly nor heavily, echoing towards their direction.

       The little girl raised her head as if someone was holding her throat.

       As the footsteps approached, Song Jun suddenly felt nervous. He subconsciously retreated towards the operating room and then listened to the footsteps until the sound walked to the door of the operating room. Then Xiang Wenshi appeared at the door of the operating room.

       He didn’t know why, but when Song Jun saw Xiang Wenshi at this time, he didn’t feel at all at ease.

       Xiang Wenshi seemed slightly relieved when he saw Song Jun and Feng Junyuan. He said, “So you are here. Come with me quickly.”

       Song Jun did not move but glanced at Feng Junyuan.

       Feng Junyuan stood up and said to Xiang Wenshi, “Teacher Xiang? Why are you here?”

       Xiang Wenshi said, “I know something happened to you, and I came to pick you up.”

       Song Jun didn’t believe him at all and was also afraid that Feng Junyuan would believe him easily, so he immediately asked, “How did you know?”

       Before Xiang Wenshi could speak, suddenly the little girl appeared at his feet and grabbed one of his feet. He frowned slightly.

       Song Jun felt something was wrong, and he looked at Xiang Wenshi, “Who are you?”

       Xiang Wenshi seemed to suddenly lose patience to continue acting. He raised one hand, and the little girl immediately displayed a distressed expression as if she were being choked.

       Then Xiang Wenshi raised his hand, and the little girl’s body was thrown away.

       Song Jun heard Xiang Wenshi say, “Someone like you also want to stop me?”

       Feng Junyuan shouted loudly, “What are you doing? Let her go!”

       Xiang Wenshi smiled and said, “She’s just a little kid who doesn’t know any better. If you bear it, I won’t hurt her.”

       Song Jun slowly retreated to Feng Junyuan, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”

       Xiang Wenshi spread his hands, “Don’t be afraid, xiao Jun. I just want to take you somewhere with me.”

       “Where?” Before Song Jun spoke, another voice asked.

       Xiang Wenshi’s expression suddenly changed, but Song Jun suddenly felt relieved when he heard the voice. He shouted loudly, “Senior Brother Xia!”

       Xia Hongshen appeared behind Xiang Wenshi. He raised his hand, and the little girl’s body, which Xiang Wenshi had just thrown away, flew into the air. She was held up by Xia Hongshen and placed gently on the operating table.

       Xiang Wenshi stared at Xia Hongshen, “How did you enter the barrier I set up?”

       Upon hearing this, Xia Hongshen gave a cold chuckle, “Someone like you want to stop me?”

Chapter 24 – Eta (3)

January 9, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Eta Star, covered by 70% of primitive forests, was not suitable for travel at night. Moschery put away the small aircraft and handed his flare to Qin Yun, who spread the map on his knees.

       “Take this direction… we can arrive before 5 o’clock tomorrow.” Qin Yun put on his hood, “But we have to speed up.” He waited for a long time but did not hear Moschery’s answer. He looked up in confusion and was suddenly gagged.

       Moschery tilted his neck slightly, with the tip of his nose touching Qin Yun’s cheek. He stretched out his tongue, brushed the corner of Qin Yun’s lips, and ordered in a low voice, “Open your mouth.”

       Qin Yun: “…It’s not like we just consumed mental energy.”

       “…” Moschery no longer had the energy to be angry with this idiot. He pressed the back of Qin Yun’s head hard and roughly pushed his teeth open.

       When their lips parted, both of them were panting a little. Moschery patted his face gently, “Let’s go.”

       “…Oh.” Qin Yun agreed quietly. When he stood up, he realised that Moschery had shouldered everything, leaving him with empty hands and a light feeling.

       Moschery: “Watch your steps and try to keep up with my speed.” He tied a rope around Qin Yun’s and his own waist, “Don’t force yourself where you can’t get through.”

       “Okay.” Qin Yun became a little nervous. He moved his hands and feet and turned around to see Moschery extending his fist towards him.

       Qin Yun hesitated for a moment, then carefully clenched his fist and touched it with him.

       Moschery smiled, “Let’s go, comrade.”

 

       What Qin Yun said about speeding up was obviously very different from what Moschery thought… At first, he could keep up with the Emperor, but halfway through, he was basically being pulled by the rope between the two. In the end, Moschery couldn’t stand to look at it anymore and directly pick him up.

       “I’m really sorry…” Qin Yun said awkwardly, “I really did endurance training before coming here…”

       Moschery said contemptuously, “You trained into the dog’s belly1training in vain?”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Moschery held him and easily jumped up the tall tree. The two of them hid behind the lush branches and leaves. After waiting for a while, they finally saw several dark shadows slowly crawling underneath.

       “…What is that?” Qin Yun asked softly in shock.

       Moschery didn’t answer immediately. He squinted and looked at the slowly moving black figures.

       It was human-like in stature, nearly 2 meters tall. It could not stand due to its twisted hind limbs and could only crawl. One of them suddenly raised its head, and Qin Yun could clearly see a human face covered in filth.

       “Hybrid defect.” Moschery said coldly. He saw the deformed wings on the black shadow’s back.

       Qin Yun remained silent. He grabbed Moschery’s sleeve with so much force that even his fingernails turned pale.

       Moschery sighed, stretched out his hand, and covered Qin Yun’s eyes with his palms.

       “Don’t look.” The Emperor’s tone was calm and cold, “You can’t save everyone.”

 

       Moschery wasn’t about to waste his energy before entering the fortress on Eta Star. He waited until the hybrid was completely gone before he came down from the tree with Qin Yun in his arms.

       “We are about to enter the Avianman’s guard circle.” Moschery drew out his long sword and ordered Zhongyan to fly to a high place, “We will try not to alert the large army and only kill the lone ones… Are you listening?”

       Qin Yun was looking at the map intently. When Moschery asked him, he realised, “Ah, yes!”

       Moschery frowned, “What are you thinking about.”

       Qin Yun scratched his hair in annoyance and pointed to a place in the fortress on the map, “This is marked as a laboratory, which should be the place where… hybrids are cultivated.”

       Moschery looked at him calmly. Qin Yun mustered up the courage and said slowly, “I want to go there. Maybe I can do something.”

       “You’ll have to go alone.” Moschery suddenly said, his finger crossing the centre of the map, “I have to get the genes of the god-level guide.”

       “I know.” Qin Yun nodded, “We will operate separately, and I will protect myself.” He pretended to be relaxed and patted his backpack, “I brought a stimulant…it is still useful at critical moments.”

       Moschery rarely objected. He stared firmly at Qin Yun’s face and suddenly stretched out his hand to hook his guide’s neck.

       The two of them pressed their foreheads hard against each other.

       “Don’t fight when you are in danger.” Moschery took off his eyepatch, revealing his golden-red dragon eyes, “Wait for me to come and get you.”

       Qin Yun smiled, “Okay.”

 

       The surroundings of the laboratory were mainly controlled by the sentinel. After all, Eta Star was affiliated with Olympus, and the status of the avian folk was, at best, a tool to be exploited.

       Qin Yun was hiding in the dark. His guiding tendrils split into webs and tried to cover every corner of the experimental building. There were more sentinels than he thought, and it was not easy to get in.

       At 5 and 6 o’clock, the Eta Star was filled with thick morning mist. Qin Yun was calculating the number of sentinels who needed to be hypnotised. When he glanced at it, he saw a sentinel coming from a distance carrying a tray…

 

       “Name, age, height, weight?” Qin Yun asked while changing clothes. He glanced at the things in the tray and found that they were all liquid food.

       The sentinel stood naked, opening and closing his mouth and answered mechanically, “Number 13. 17 years old. 176 centimetres tall. 65 kilograms.”

       Qin Yun clicked his tongue, “It’s over…I’m 4 centimetres taller than you.” He looked down at the missing trouser leg and had no choice but to put his military boots back on, “I hope they won’t notice… “

       The hypnotised sentinel didn’t respond at all. Qin Yun was afraid that he would be frozen, so he covered him with his coat, pinned his name tag on, and picked up the tray.

       “How many times are you on duty today?” Qin Yun confirmed again, “Is it the same every day?”

       Sentinel: “The first time, it’s different.”

       Qin Yun thought for a while and figured it out. He checked his attire one last time before walking towards the laboratory building with the dinner tray in hand.

 

       Unlike the laboratory building, the fortress’s gene bank was a bit ridiculously large. When Moschery sneaked in, he discovered that the huge semicircular fortress on the land surface only accounted for less than one-third of the total area.

       In order to facilitate storage, the temperature of the gene bank was extremely low. When Zhongyan flew in, he wanted to considerately spray a fireball on his master, but was stopped by the Emperor’s murderous eyes…

       The giant dragon shrank its wings in grievance and could only play with burning its own tail…

 

       In the gene bank, most were ordinary human scientists, moving tightly wrapped in the middle of rows of tall shelves. Moschery had to wait for someone to pass by, then quickly moved around to the front of the shelf and swiftly scanned the labels on the gene canisters.

       He scanned nearly ten rows but still found nothing.

       Moschery’s expression became more and more gloomy. Because of his unstable mood, Zhongyan became irritable. He could feel his dragon’s eyes changing, and the irritated nerves ached…

 

       As the youngest and most promising genetics professor on Eta Star, Chris has always been obsessed with academic research. Still, yesterday, he accidentally peeked into the so-called ‘species evolution’ in the laboratory building, and his whole outlook was affected. The shock caused him to stay up all night and come to the gene bank before dawn.

       And when he was being held in a corner by his throat, poor Chris thought that his sneaking had been exposed and he was going to be silenced…

       “Where is the god-level gene?” Moschery’s golden pupils were narrowed. He tore off the opponent’s anti-freeze shield. Chris instantly felt as if he had frostbite on his face…

       “What, what god-level genes?” He stammered, shaking, and his words were incoherent: “I, I know you caught me sneaking yesterday… But, I still want to say that that’s wrong… too… too cruel……”

       Moschery: “…”

       The expression on Chris’ face was unyielding, “K-kill… Just kill me! I, I won’t, work for you anymore!”

 

       Moschery looked at the work card that Chris threw on the ground coldly and did not pick it up immediately. He relaxed the shackles in his hands a little.

       “You can quit if you want.” Moschery took advantage of the situation and said, “First, tell me where the god-level genes are.”

      Chris was really stupid and naive and was fooled, “They say there are no god-level genes anymore… Are you a senior executive? Don’t you know that a while ago, Olympus revoked the god-level gene transfer mission and sent over a batch of clones instead?” He pointed to the work card on the ground, “If you don’t believe it, you can use my card to swipe all the gene categories here. My card has the highest authority.”

       In order to prove that he was not lying, Chris actively swiped his work card Nth times to show Moschery. After it was completely confirmed that there was no god-level gene, His Majesty’s face was as ugly as it could be.

       “I’m not going to do it anyway…it’s too cruel, too inhumane, and simply has no human rights.” Chris muttered, “I’ll give you the card… What’s wrong with you?!”

       Moschery looked pale and clutched his chest. Chris was so frightened that he quickly went to help him, “If you can’t find it, you can’t find it. Is there any need to have a heart attack? Have you brought any medicine?!”

       “No…” Moschery moved his lips with difficulty, “Qin Yun…”

       “Qinyun?” Chris asked with a question mark on his face, “What kind of medicine is this? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Chapter 23 – Power Outage

January 6, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       On Friday, Song Jun had to go to the hospital to get the second batch of blood samples.

       He returned relatively early this time, but upon arrival, the girl from the clinical laboratory he had contacted had something to attend to and said she would come later. Other members of the clinical laboratory team advised him to come in about half an hour, by which time the girl should have arrived.

       Song Jun thanked them and exited the clinical laboratory department, thinking the time was too short to go back to the lab. Instead, he decided to find a place to sit in the garden outside on the first floor for a while.

       As soon as he walked to the small garden, Song Jun met Feng Junyuan, who was going to deliver blood samples for blood crossmatching.

       Feng Junyuan said to him, “Why don’t you go to my office and sit for a while.”

       Feng Junyuan was a somewhat awkward person. After getting along with him, Song Jun had almost figured out his character. Also not very talkative, Feng Junyuan was much more difficult to get along with than Xia Hongshen, but once he got to know him, he found that he was not as cold as he seemed on the surface.

       Song Jun still didn’t know why Feng Junyuan wanted to disrupt the middle of the 7th month Hundred Ghost Parade. But he knew that Feng Junyuan could see ghosts just like him. This feeling was not very pleasant. Maybe he had difficulty controlling his emotions at that time.

       He took Song Jun to his office, and Feng Junyuan poured him a glass of boiled water from a paper cup.

       Seeing Feng Junyuan sitting in front of the computer issuing medical orders, Song Jun leaned over to take a look and asked, “Are there any surgeries scheduled for today?”

       Feng Junyuan shook his head, “Not for my bed.”

       He was talking about the bed he was in charge of. The bed number that Song Jun saw he was giving medical orders to was No. 15. If he remembered correctly, Feng Junyuan said that Bed No. 15 was the bed number of the little girl who died.

       When he thought of the little girl who died on the operating table at a young age, Song Jun couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. He said, “Have you ever thought about finding a Dharma Master to help her transcend?”

       Feng Junyuan stopped typing and said nothing, but Song Jun saw his hesitant expression.

       “Ah!” A scream suddenly came from outside the office.

       Song Jun and Feng Junyuan looked at each other, stood up and walked out of the office at the same time.

       There was a lot of noise outside, and a circle of people gathered around the nurse’s station. A patient covered his arm and said he had seen a ghost.

       This patient was the patient of bed no. 15 under Feng Junyuan’s care. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday and has not yet undergone surgery. He said that he heard a child crying all night last night. He went to the toilet, but as soon as he opened the toilet door, he saw a child’s hand pulling the door tightly from the inside.

       Everyone in the circle around the nurse’s station turned pale when they heard this, obviously frightened. Of course, there were also those who didn’t believe it and said he was talking nonsense.

       The patient then rolled up his sleeves and said, “Look, he was caught by a ghost.”

       Everyone looked over and saw a blue mark on his wrist, which was shaped like a child’s palm.

       Song Jun and Feng Junyuan looked at each other.

       An old lady next to me said, “Oh, that’s really creepy. Bed no.15 is that little kid who died under Dr. Feng’s table, right?”

       Everyone around looked towards Feng Junyuan. The patient in Bed no.15 said, “Doctor Feng, can you change my bed? I’m afraid I’m haunted by a ghost.”

       “Where did the ghost come from?” Suddenly, a man came out of the doctor’s duty room and said loudly, “Don’t talk nonsense here. There are no ghosts in this world.”

       Feng Junyuan turned around and saw that the person walking over was the chief resident.

       The chief resident said, “Don’t make the hospital look like a park. Everyone should go back to the ward and don’t surround the nurse’s station.”

       The patients then dispersed.

       The attending physician asked Feng Junyuan, “Have you finished issuing the doctor’s orders?”

       Feng Junyuan nodded.

       The chief said, “Just do what you have to do; don’t get involved.”

       After saying that, he walked towards his office.

       Song Jun looked at Feng Junyuan and wanted to persuade him not to pay attention, but when he thought that the little girl did exist, he couldn’t help feeling a little chilly and didn’t know what to say.

       Feng Junyuan said, “I’ll go to Bed No. 15 to have a look.”

       Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden power outage in the corridor.

       There were wards on both sides of the corridor extending from the nurse station, and there was only a small balcony at the end of the corridor, so the lighting was very poor. Once the power went out, the eyes that were accustomed to bright light could not adapt to the darkness for a while, and it would be as if it were pitch black.

       Both the nurses and the patients cried out in surprise as if they had not expected that there would be a sudden power outage in the hospital.

       Generally speaking, even if there were a power outage in a hospital, there would be a backup generator to ensure the operation of various medical instruments.

       However, the power had gone out but did not come back on immediately.

       Feng Junyuan and Song Jun were standing there. They had just adapted to the dark environment of the corridor when they heard a patient’s scream from a ward in front.

       That voice was the voice of the Bed no. 15 patient who had just said he had seen a ghost.

       Feng Junyuan immediately ran in that direction. Seeing this, Song Jun quickly followed.

       The ward was a double ward with beds number 15 and 16. Because it was a shared ward, the doors of hospital wards were generally not locked, but at this time, the door of this ward was closed.

       Feng Junyuan pushed the door, but it didn’t open.

       It wasn’t that it wasn’t locked, but more like someone was pushing the door from the inside.

       Feng Junyuan pushed hard again, and the door opened slightly. He suddenly let go of his hand, and the door was closed again.

       Song Jun was standing next to Feng Junyuan. He could clearly see half of the child’s grey-blue face emerging from the gap, looking out with one round eye.

       Feng Junyuan looked at Song Jun, and Song Jun asked him, “Did you see it too?”

       “Yeah,” Feng Junyuan said, “it was her, the child who died on the operating table, named Yuanyuan.”

       Song Jun felt a little numb in his back.

       However, unexpectedly, Feng Junyuan suddenly hit the door with force.

       The door to the ward was suddenly knocked open by him. Feng Junyuan walked in and saw no sign of the little girl. Not only was the little girl missing, but even the original patients in the fifteen or sixteen beds were gone.

       There was a large window in the ward, which was much brighter than in the corridor outside.

       Song Jun followed Feng Junyuan in and looked at the bathroom with the door open but saw no one.

       “What’s going on?” Song Jun asked.

       Feng Junyuan shook his head, “I don’t know.”

       They were all a little dazed and stood in the ward for a while. Feng Junyuan even walked to the window and took a look outside.

       Suddenly, Song Jun said to him, “Don’t you think it’s quiet outside?”

       Feng Junyuan was stunned and turned to look at him.

       It was really quiet outside, so quiet that it was a little abnormal. It was noisy when the power went out, but now there was no sound at all.

       Song Jun and Feng Junyuan walked towards the corridor outside, one after another. When they came out, they saw that the entire corridor was empty, and there was no one.

       The patient and his family were gone, as were the nurses and doctors. The entire thoracic surgery department was silent as if they were the only two people left.

       Song Jun and Feng Junyuan both knew something was wrong. Of course, it wasn’t that everyone here suddenly ran away, but that the two of them were probably blocked off from reality by some force, like that time when they saw a hundred ghosts walking at night by the river.

       “What should we do?” Song Jun asked.

       Feng Junyuan was silent for a moment and said, “Get out of here first?”

       “I…” Song Jun was about to speak. He always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, that maybe they couldn’t leave here easily. But before he could speak, he suddenly heard a girl’s laughter coming from the end of the corridor.

       Both of them turned around and saw the little girl, Yuanyuan, hiding behind a door. She stuck her head out to take a look at them. When she saw them looking over, she quickly retracted her head.

       Feng Junyuan said, “That’s the stairs over there.”

       Song Jun was stunned and then said, “She doesn’t want us to leave.”

       Feng Junyuan looked a little confused, “Why?”

       Song Jun shook his head. How could he know why.

       Knowing that the little girl was trying to stop them, Feng Junyuan had no intention of trying. He said, “Let’s go back to the office first.”

       The two men returned to the doctor’s office.

       Song Jun walked behind and reached out to lock the door.

       The current situation reminded him of what happened in the lab at that time. He still remembered that the female ghost was pestering him, making it impossible for him to leave.

       But this time, it didn’t feel so scary. Maybe it was because there was an extra person, Feng Junyuan, and Song Jun knew that Feng Junyuan was not an ordinary person and that those ordinary ghosts and demons should not be able to hurt him.

       There were also windows in the doctor’s duty room, and the light outside was bright. Song Jun stood at the window and looked outside, but there was no one in the bustling hospital.

       “Does she want to kill me?” Feng Junyuan suddenly asked.

       Song Jun said softly, “I don’t think so. She’s just a child, and maybe her parents don’t understand what’s going on with her life. I believe she wouldn’t be unaware of it herself.”

       ‘Drrk drkk drrk’ The two of them heard a sound coming from outside at the same time, like the sound of a nurse pushing a cart walking down the corridor.

       Song Jun stood still and didn’t move.

       Feng Junyuan walked to the door, opened it slightly and looked outside. He saw a nurse’s work cart sliding slowly in the corridor, but no one was pushing it.

       “Let’s go,” Feng Junyuan said suddenly, “I don’t want to wait here any longer. No matter what she wants to do, I’m not afraid of her.”

       Song Jun hesitated.

       Feng Junyuan said, “Then you wait here alone. She should be here for me, and it has nothing to do with you.”

       Even if it really had nothing to do with him, Song Jun couldn’t let Feng Junyuan face it alone. He took a deep breath and said to Feng Junyuan, “Let’s go, I’ll go with you.”

       Feng Junyuan opened the door, stood by it waiting for Song Jun to come, and walked out with him.

       The cart was still slowly coming in their direction. The two of them were walking forward, and the cart slid in front of them and suddenly stopped.

       Feng Junyuan and Song Jun walked around the cart and continued walking forward.

       Suddenly, Feng Junyuan stopped and looked at a staircase that appeared out of thin air on the side of the corridor.

       Song Jun naturally saw it too and couldn’t help being stunned and asked, “Were there stairs here?”

       Feng Junyuan said, “Yes, but it has been stopped and sealed early.”

       “Why?” Song Jun asked.

       “Because I heard there seemed to be an accident,” Feng Junyuan said solemnly.

Chapter 23 – Eta (2)

January 5, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       When Shen Zhuofan finished handling the cat poop, he saw Lin Dongliang waiting outside the door. The Secretary of State took off his hat and saluted with a gentle smile, “Good morning.”

       Shen Zhuofan sighed, “You’re becoming a regular here… How about I give you half a membership card? Regulars get a 1000-credit charge, and every visit after that is half price.”

       Lin Dongliang was embarrassed by the sales promotion. Shen Zhuofan smiled evilly and sidled over to let him in.

       After all, the two of them were very familiar with each other, and Shen Zhuofan could roughly guess Lin Dongliang’s reason for coming. He listened to the other party’s request but did not say anything and just made a pot of tea and put it on the table.

       “Want some?” Shen Zhuofan poured out a cup and pushed it in front of Lin Dongliang, “The new tea just launched this month. It tastes pretty good.”

       Lin Dongliang took a sip and nodded, “It’s indeed good.”

       Shen Zhuofan smiled. He held his chin and was a little distracted, “Senior, you haven’t changed. You will clearly express whatever plan you have in mind. It’s as precise as an instrument.”

       Lin Dongliang coughed awkwardly, “I always feel that by saying it out loud, there’s room for choice. The results and the risks to be borne—you can either do it or not…”

       Shen Zhuofan didn’t speak. He looked through the haze outside the window, seeming to see a long time in the past.

 

       “Senior, you and I are still different after all.” Shen Zhuofan said quietly, “I have changed a lot.”

       Lin Dongliang looked at him gently.

       Shen Zhuofan stretched out his hand and gently covered his chest, “I don’t have a heart as strong as yours.”

 

       Early in the morning, Tristana got up early to deal with the troublesome lawn, and just as she had finished, the specially designated aircraft of the Secretary of State landed without any prior notice.

       Tristana: “…”

       Lin Dongliang’s hair was still stained with morning dew. He greeted her with a somewhat apologetic expression, “Hello…”

       Tristana’s expression was grotesque, “If it weren’t something like the news that His Majesty is about to die, I would definitely let the Crested Ibis peck the Yuanbao’s tail bald!”

       Lin Dongliang: “…”

 

       As the only female guide general in the high ranks, Tristana, despite having a masculine character, had a somewhat flirtatious lifestyle. No one could imagine that she, who could be full of foul language and engage in verbal sparring, could start a ship and board a fort without saying more than three words. In her eyes, anyone with a pulse was fair game for her to criticise…

       “Don’t just believe in the All Universe 818.” Tristana carefully took the baked apple pie out of the oven, “Considering you’re a politician,”

       Lin Dongliang pretended to close the gossip page as if nothing had happened. He looked at the horrible apple pie on the baking sheet…

       “I made stars, moons, birds, and cats.” Tristana introduced them one by one. She put her hands on her hips in a bossy manner, “You can take three minutes to praise me before you can eat it.”

 

       Half of the lawn in the garden was in a mess, with the Secretary of State’s aircraft parked on it, while the other half had been planted with tulips, which bloomed in golden or red-pink colours that were subtle and graceful.

       Lin Dongliang ate the sticky apple pie without complaining. He finished one piece after another, and even Tristana couldn’t stand to see it.

       “Okay… I know what my capability is, so you don’t have to give me a face like this.” Tristana snapped.

       Lin Dongliang said with a smile, “It’s actually delicious, really.”

       Tristana made a face, “Hypocrite…”

       Lin Dongliang didn’t deny it, “I seem to have always been like this.” He finished the last bite of apple pie, “I’m used to it.”

       “But you are like this…” Tristana described awkwardly, “It’s not lovable.”

       Lin Dongliang raised his eyebrows, “None of the politicians is likeable, and I didn’t become a sinner just to please people.”

       Tristana: “That’s right, you always have a well-thought-out plan, including the final result. It seems like you are giving the choice out, but in fact, you have already calculated even the other person’s character… Just like Shen six years ago, impulsive, proud, and daring to dedicate.”

       The female general sighed, “You are very gentle.” She stretched out her hand and touched Lin Dongliang’s chest, “But this… It’s very hard here.”

       Lin Dongliang was silent. After a long time, he slowly said, “The birth of a complete and centralised new regime requires the sacrifice of countless people and feelings.”

       Tristana couldn’t help but ask, “So…will you sacrifice Skarter?”

       The light of the morning sun softly outlined Lin Dongliang’s profile, “No.” He looked at Tristana and showed a gentle yet sad smile, “I will sacrifice myself.”

 

       “The Secretary of State’s plan?” Qin Yun looked surprised. After they had sent Alice and Maggie back to the Star Thief’s headquarters—the Stallion Balls, they had planned to take a break and then head to Eta Star.

       Moschery spent the whole day in the armoury at the bottom, and Qin Yun naturally waited on him all the time. The two somehow managed to get into a conversation about Shen and Duke Garcia’s gossip.

       “Politicians are all a bunch of heartless bastards.” Moschery said indifferently. “Don’t think too highly of Lin Dongliang; it’s all just a facade.”

       Qin Yun boldly joked, “You mean… you are also heartless?”

       Moschery gave him a look that seemed to say, ‘Why are you acting like a little brat?’ and asked, “Am I not gentle enough with you?”

       Qin Yun touched his nose awkwardly and said nothing.

       Moschery threw the picked bow into the arms of his guide, “The birth of a new regime will inevitably involve sacrifices, and even I am not immune.” He looked at Qin Yun calmly, “This is why Skarter and Lin Dongliang haven’t completed the final mark after being together for so long…because they love each other so much that they are even willing to restrain the natures of sentinel and guide, just so that the other can still live safely when one has to leave.”

       Qin Yun’s face looked slightly ugly, “The consequences… are really too heavy.”

       Moschery curled his lips disdainfully, “If you ask me, Skarter spoils Lin Dongliang too much. You shouldn’t pamper your spouse too much; sometimes you need to be fvck them.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Because Maggie provided a lot of information about Eta Star, she and Alice were essentially completely detached from Olympus. Chen Xiao seemed even more enthusiastic about this than the parties involved.

       “Where are you going in the future?” He crossed his arms and winked at Moschery, “Do you have any plans?”

       Maggie’s waist injury has basically healed. She picked a silver whip from the armoury. It looked very thin but was actually heavy. Qin Yun couldn’t shake it with both hands.

       “We haven’t thought about it yet.” Alice said honestly, she was a little confused, “Is this considered treason?”

       Moschery sneered, “Olympus calls itself an alliance, but the empire doesn’t recognise it, so how can it be called treason?”

       Maggie didn’t speak. She clearly saw that the other person was the one with the highest status among them all, but her attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant. “Then where do you think we should go?”

       Moschery glanced at her with appreciation in his eyes, “Go to the Imperial Capital. It’s more suitable for you.”

       “But I heard.” Maggie smiled playfully, “The Emperor’s regime is not stable, and there are many obstacles to implementing the new democratic deal. What’s more, it is still unknown whether Olympus will return in the end.”

       Qin Yun frowned, “You don’t believe in the Empire?”

       “I just trust what I see more.” Maggie pointed to her eyes.

       She bowed respectfully to Moschery, “Your Majesty, we will be waiting for your triumph in the Empire.”

The author has something to say:
Lin Dongliang and Skarter embodied the saying: To like is to be wild, but to love is to be restrained. XD
