On the spaceship back, Edwin and Shao Ci introduced the affairs of their family, and some things to pay attention to after going there.
The Heyman family is the largest family in the empire. Many celebrities have emerged from it, and they have even married into many big families. Their power almost covers the entire empire.
And Edwin's mother, Serena, a female Alpha, is the patriarch of this generation, and her sister is the queen of the year.
Patriarch Serena is a very powerful person and has many lovers, but her original spouse was thrown aside. After all, the two married because of their interests back then, and they didn't have any feelings for each other.
It is also for this reason that the relationship between Edwin and his mother is not very good, but the relationship with the queen is better. He often lived in the palace when he was a child, and the relationship with the prince was also good after the queen passed away.
It was also because Edwin was lucky that he didn't encounter the Queen and Loris going crazy when he lived there...
Of course, this good relationship has become a thing of the past after Edwin became Pei Shijian's subordinate in the original text... this time without Pei Shijian, there shouldn't be any bloody cousins who broke up because of a man. Drama.
Shao Ci was subtly worried that Pei Shijian would not be able to take the position because of his relationship. Obviously Pei Shijian had a grudge against him, but if Pei Shijian could not reach the pinnacle of his life, he would not be able to leave this world. It felt quite good. complex.
However, Pei Shijian is the child of destiny. Even if there are a few less subordinates, he will surely be able to successfully move towards the finale under the protection of the will of the world.
Edwin admired the prince very much, and kept talking about the prince's various deeds in front of Shao Ci, including how good his grades were when he was studying in school, how well he manipulated the mecha, and so on.
Shao Ci once again felt that Pei Shijian, who could make Edwin betray the prince, was really a terrible man.
After that, Edwin sighed again, "Your Highness is a very good-natured person. Although he has power now, he is not living a happy life."
After all, my mother only cared about the emperor, how could she have the time to take care of Loris, and then she did such terrible things and died vigorously. And the emperor was even more lazy to look at Loris.
It is also because Edwin feels very happy now that Loris feels more miserable.
Shao Ci thought that it would be better for Edwin not to know the truth. After all, the prince is actually the kind of villain who cuts black and white. He pretends to be good in front of others. He is a very cold person.
Maybe he doesn't have any feelings for Edwin, it's all a disguise... After all, this is more in line with the villain boss's personality.
Seeing that Shao Ci's complexion was not very good, Edwin thought he was angry because of his own words, and quickly said: "Of course, in my heart, you are still the most powerful, even His Highness can't compare to you."
"Okay, I understand you." Shao Ci felt that Edwin was like a big dog begging for praise, so he couldn't help reaching out and stroking his head, and Edwin's face turned red all of a sudden.
After all, it was a private spaceship, so there was no need to detour or stop at a planet halfway, and soon arrived at the planet where the main residence of the Heyman family was located.
This planet was a famous health resort in the past, and its hot springs are very famous. It is said that because of the various trace elements contained in it, in addition to eliminating fatigue, it is even more effective to exercise after soaking in the hot springs.
Afterwards, the planet was bought by the Heyman family with a large sum of money. Now there are only the people and guests of the Heyman family on this planet, as well as the servants who serve them. Everyone else needs to go through strict screening to enter.
As the next heir, of course, the classmates brought by Edwin can go in directly, and the inspectors will respectfully pack the luggage immediately after seeing Edwin.
Shao Ci thought that the patriarch was probably the only one with higher force value than Edwin here, so he could also test whether the system would make the girl the target of the strategy, and maybe it could save his sexual orientation... Although the female Alpha also has a penis, even though I have said it many times, I still feel that this world is too scary.
The aircraft docked at the gate of the manor. It was already very late at this time, and the appearance of the manor could not be seen clearly, only that it occupied a huge area.
Shao Ci looked into it, it seemed that some kind of banquet was being held inside, the lights were brightly lit, and the courtyard was full of gorgeous decorations.
"Mother likes to hold banquets the most, and it probably is now." And she will invite many lovers over, and every banquet can see those lovers vying for favor, which is why he usually doesn't want to come back.
Shao Ci: "Did we come at the wrong time..." It just happened to bump into someone else holding a banquet.
Edwin was a little distressed, and said, "If she sees you, she will definitely ask some unnecessary questions... But it's okay, if there are any rude questions, you can just ignore them."
Originally, the main purpose of his coming back this time was just to take Shao Ci to meet his father, and tell him that he already has someone who has decided to be with him for the rest of his life. As for the mother, just say a few words casually, no matter how fiercely she opposes it, she can't control her own thoughts.
"Is this really okay..." Shao Ci always felt a little bad in his heart, and always felt that something bad would happen if he walked in.
But they are already here, it would be too much to say to leave, of course Edwin will definitely not refuse, but Shao Ci himself is too embarrassed.
So Shao Ci bit the bullet and followed Edwin in.
I saw many people gathered in the resplendent and resplendent hall. After seeing Edwin, they were startled for a moment, and then moved over excitedly.
"Master Edwin, you actually came back this year."
"The patriarch will definitely be very happy."
"Do you remember me? We met once a few years ago."
"Speaking of which, my child was also a childhood sweetheart with the young master, do you remember?"
Immediately, the two were surrounded by the crowd, each of these people was very enthusiastic, to the point of frightening enthusiasm, if Edwin hadn't kept his face cold, they would have squeezed directly in front of Edwin.
Edwin's attitude was already very cold, with an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but the others were still desperately trying to come over.
After all, Edwin is the next heir of the Heyman family. Although patriarch Serena has many lovers outside, she doesn't have any illegitimate children.
What's more, Edwin doesn't have a date yet, not to mention those who have Omega at home, even those who only have Alpha at home are a little bit excited at this time, if Edwin doesn't like it, they will definitely send their children over directly.
As for Shao Ci on the side, they were completely ignored by these people. After all, he seemed to be just a Beta, with no threat at all. He was probably just a classmate with a good relationship with Master Edwin.
"Could it be that, Master Edwin, you also rushed back after hearing the news that His Highness was coming?"
Hearing these words suddenly amidst the noise, Edwin turned to look at the man, "You mean Your Highness?"
The person who was replied by Edwin was startled immediately, and then felt a sense of honor to be named, and quickly said: "That's right, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. So you don't know about this?"
Edwin frowned slightly, obviously His Royal Highness Loris would never come here except on mother's birthday, why this time, is there something wrong
Shao Ci's face immediately turned pale after hearing their conversation: "!"
Why did Loris, who is the final villain of the original work, come here at this time? I always feel that something bad will happen. And Loris' strength value will obviously be higher than Edwin's...
Is it too late for him to leave now
Shao Ci looked at the crowd crowded around him, and found in despair that it was impossible for him to squeeze out.
Just at this time, the hostess of the banquet, the patriarch Serena also came out from the second floor, and the others stopped talking immediately so as not to be bored by Serena.
Patriarch Serena is only in her fifties now, and she can be said to be quite young in the future when the average life expectancy is 200 years. She has blond hair, blue eyes and a heroic appearance, and is a very charming woman.
But at this moment, compared with the people around her, Serena looked much paler.
The young man next to her has light golden hair and blue eyes, with a smile on his face, but there seems to be a touch of sadness between his brows. He has a beautiful appearance that cannot be described in words, no matter what beauty is around him Everyone must feel a deep sense of inferiority.
After all, this is inherited from the appearance of the number one beauty in the empire who was envied by countless people back then.
The moment they saw Loris, everyone in the audience was stunned. Even though most of them had seen the photo of His Highness on the Internet, the real person was far better looking than the photo, making them speechless for a moment. .
It stands to reason that such an appearance should make countless people fall in love with him, but everyone deeply feels that they are not worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince, and they almost view him with the same mentality as looking at a work of art, so don't talk about pursuing him. , There are not many people who even show love.
However, Loris has no interest in other people. He has kept himself clean all these years, and he doesn't even have a scandal partner.
Serena has long been used to the impact of Loris' appearance on others, and she doesn't care. Compared with Loris, there are more important things.
She had heard the news that her son was coming back a long time ago, looked at where Edwin was, with a smile on her face, and walked towards him.
The others immediately pushed away consciously to make way for her.
Edwin's expression softened a lot when he saw his cousin whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"This is your classmate?" Serena looked at Shao Ci curiously. This was the first time Edwin brought a classmate back. It was really rare.
Unlike Edwin, who was in a good mood, Shao Ci was in a rather bad mood, and his face was even ashamed to say the least.
[Beep beep... A character with a higher force value was detected... According to the rules of the system, the attack target began to be replaced... After the replacement, the current attack target is Loris.]
What the hell, things have developed to this point. What should he do to get close to this target? Loris is definitely no less difficult than Pei Shijian.
The only thing better than Pei Shijian is that he hasn't offended him yet...
"This is mine..." Edwin introduced, but suddenly stopped, he didn't know how to describe the relationship between Shao Ci and him for a while, it always feels too unfamiliar to say that they are classmates, Obviously he wants to go further.
While Edwin was hesitating, Loris smiled slightly and looked in Shao Ci's direction, "You're finally here."
Shao Ci didn't realize that Loris was talking to him until the other party took his hand.
In front of everyone, Loris brought Shao Ci's hand to his lips, bowed his head and kissed the back of his hand, "I've been waiting for a long time."
In Shao Ci's mind, it was as if ten million muddy horses were running past, "!?" Wait, what is this unfolding? !
The reaction of the onlookers was similar to Shao Ci's. If they hadn't tried their best to maintain their demeanor in front of Loris, their jaws might have dropped.
what did they see ! Why does His Highness the Crown Prince have such a good relationship with this seemingly passer-by Beta? This is not scientific at all, or is this passer-by Beta actually a very powerful person
Serena was also taken aback, and said to Edwin: "So you brought your Highness's friend this time? Why didn't you mention it before, how rude you are."
Edwin was stunned, he didn't hear his mother's question, he just looked at the picture in front of him, his heart was full of shock, why did his cousin know about Shao Ci? This shouldn't be... Besides, how could he be as close as Shao Ci.
Shao Ci finally came to his senses, and asked the question that everyone around him wanted to know, "Your Highness, do we... know each other?"
"We've known each other for a long time... think about it again, you will definitely remember it." Loris leaned close to Shao Ci's ear and said, then took his hand, and said to Serena and the people around: "Now Allow me to introduce, this is my fiancé Shao Ci."
Loris spoke in a very soft voice, but it exploded in everyone's hearts like thunder.
fiancé? ! Wait, what did they hear? !
Shao Ci was stunned. He looked at Loris in astonishment, but suddenly felt that his voice sounded familiar.
... Come to think of it, isn't this the local tyrant who spent two million imperial coins to challenge himself in the virtual world last time, but didn't do anything, and ran away after leaving a creepy sentence? !
No wonder he said he found it... Although I don't know how Loris recognized him in the virtual world from the real him, but now that he almost knows the reason, there is no point in entangled with that kind of thing.
Shao Ci felt that the whole person was not well, and he thought he had covered up the vest well, but now almost all the main plot characters knew it. Is there any difference between whether there is a vest or not!
It was only then that the others reacted.
"What? What did I hear just now?!" "Your Highness actually has a fiancé?" "W-When did this happen?! Why haven't I heard the news at all." "Actually, am I still in a dream?"
Everyone wondered if they had missed something very important in the past few days. Why would the future emperor, the crown prince of an extremely good Alpha, choose a Beta as his partner now? This is simply unreasonable? !
Moreover, they have never heard of the name Shao Ci, and there is no such surname among the big families and nobles in the empire.
But with their identities, they couldn't question His Royal Highness's decision at all, so they had to put away their shocked expressions, hide their doubts in their hearts, and send out various blessings instead.
Serena was also shocked, and then frowned and said: "Your Highness, are you serious? Have you discussed this matter with His Majesty the Emperor? Marriage is not a trifling matter."
Loris glanced at her indifferently, "It's enough for me to make my own decision."
Loris' attitude was very gentle, but Serena felt a chill in her heart. At that moment, she seemed to see her beautiful but paranoid sister.
Even though she is a well-known gentle beauty and a weak Omega, she did something that no one could believe.
Back then, my younger sister was able to do that kind of thing. If they went to stop His Highness the Crown Prince's decision, who knows what the Crown Prince would do
Serena immediately compromised, "Since His Highness likes it, then I won't say anything else."
"Your Highness, are you joking?" Edwin looked at Loris and tried his best to keep calm, but his voice still couldn't help trembling, "Could this kind of thing be decided too casually..."
The cousin I most admired actually did such a thing, and the blow to Edwin was unimaginable.
"I'm serious this time?" Loris said with a smile, "And I have someone I like, so you should be very happy too, right?"
Edwin's complexion instantly became extremely ugly, and he looked at Shao Ci with pleading eyes, as if hoping that he would tell him that none of this was true.
What kind of cruel person is this, Shao Ci couldn't bear to see Edwin like that.
However, now that he is bound to Loris, although he doesn't know what Loris is going to do, it is obviously impossible to tell the truth at this time! Shao Ci said: "This is indeed true."
Edwin wanted to force a smile, but he couldn't do it anyway.
Serena could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with her son. Could it be that Edwin also liked this Beta
If it was before, Serena would probably persuade him to marry a famous Omega, and then take the true love as a lover or something, after all, Serena herself did the same.
But now he actually fell in love with the same person as His Royal Highness Loris, which is really terrible. Serena quickly said: "Edwin, you just came back, haven't you seen your father yet? He has been waiting for you for a long time, go quickly."
"Yeah." Edwin looked very dazed, "I'm really sorry, then I'll leave first."
The way he left makes one wonder if something will happen.
However, Serena is the hostess of this banquet, so she couldn't leave at will, so she could only say: "Okay, now that everyone is here, it's time to officially start dancing."
Everyone hasn't seen enough of the bloody triangle plot just now, and they all feel a little regretful.
After the music started, Serena left in a hurry.
Loris, who caused this incident, looked down at Shao Ci, and smiled softly, as if all the light around him dimmed, "Come, dance with me. "
"...!" Shao Ci's heart was still in a mess. Before he figured out what Loris was going to do, he didn't have the time to dance, so he said, "But I can't dance..."
"It's okay, I will teach you well." Loris' attitude was obviously very gentle, but Shao Ci felt chills in his heart when he heard it, and always felt that if he refused now, something bad would happen.
So Shao Ci bit the bullet and walked into the dance floor with Loris.
The others also slowly digested the breaking news, and danced on the dance floor as if nothing had happened, but they already wished that the dance would end soon, and then ran to discuss with others the gossip they learned at the banquet today.
After the song ended, Shao Ci, who couldn't dance at all, had already stepped on Loris countless times. He always felt that he would be beaten to death if he continued like this, so he finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "I feel a little tired. , can you take a rest first?"
"Of course." Loris didn't intend to force Shao Ci to stay.
After getting rid of Loris, Shao Ci almost flew to the garden outside, found a secluded place to sit down and heaved a sigh of relief.
There are only two possibilities for Loris to say such a thing this time. One is that he is also a fan of the little prince, and after seeing him, he can't help but have the urge to confess.
But reading the original work, you can see that Loris is by no means a silly and sweet person like Edwin and Ji Zhaoyun. He is already strong enough, and he doesn't have any thoughts about other strong people. No matter how powerful a person is, he is just a pawn in his hands.
If it wasn't for Pei Shijian's aura of the protagonist, he would never have been defeated so easily.
So Loris is probably trying to win him over
But there's no need to do such a thing, it's fine to just recruit your subordinates, why bother to say anything about your fiancé in front of everyone...
The dignified prince wouldn't use this method to keep a master, right
What's more, he is still such a salty fish in reality.
Shao Ci felt a headache when he thought about it, and sighed, he couldn't imagine what his life would be like in the future. The only thing he knew was that he would no longer be able to eat the delicious food made by Edwin... It hurts to think about it .
And the next moment, a person came over, it was the pale Edwin.
"I have something to ask you."
Obviously Edwin didn't go back just now, but stayed in a remote place all the time. His face was very ugly at this time, but when he looked at Shao Ci, he still tried to maintain a calm look, "What you said before is all Really?"
Just as Shao Ci was about to explain, Edwin cautiously reached out to hold Shao Ci's hand.
Then Shao Ci, who didn't pay much attention all of a sudden, felt the terrible electric shock that he was touched by the former target for a long time.
And this electric shock is several times stronger than before.
At that moment, Shao Ci not only withdrew his hand quickly, but also almost fell to the ground because of his dodging action so violently, and then Edwin wanted to hold him, but was thrown away by Shao Ci fiercely.
Shao Ci swore with integrity that he definitely didn't do it on purpose, it was all the system's fault. This electric shock is obviously several times more painful than the last world in the last world!
[That is to prevent some hosts who shake M from intentionally violating the rules to gain pleasure.]
Shao Ci: "!" Damn it, people who shake M will be more excited after being shocked like this, only innocent people like him will become more miserable.
Edwin's face was as pale as paper, he bit his lower lip, and took a few steps back, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have bumped into you, and I shouldn't ask you such a question... But , but why... why..."
Maybe he is too self-righteous, although he has been staying with Shao Ci all the time, but what Shao Ci actually did and who he met, he doesn't necessarily have to tell himself.
It's not incomprehensible that I don't know about him. Maybe Shao Ci and Loris met after something I didn't know... And Loris is indeed a good match for the Shao Ci he longed for. He should bless him .
But...it was supposed to be like that, why couldn't he be happy, instead he had that terrible overthinking.
"Wait, it's not what you think. I can explain it." Shao Ci rarely saw a target who had not been directly blackened after being pushed away. This was a clear stream, and he immediately wanted to explain.
"Explain what?" Loris' voice came suddenly.
Shao Ci turned his head and saw Loris walking slowly towards this side. He smiled and looked at the two of them, "Can I listen to what you have to say? I also want to know what you are talking about Woolen cloth."
Shao Ci had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say, "It's nothing, I have nothing to say."
"Edwin, thank you for helping me take care of Xiaoci during this time." Loris turned to look at Edwin, "I will remember everything you do, and you can call me if you have any troubles. "
Edwin now looked at the object of his admiration in the past, and suddenly felt that the other person's smile looked so hateful, and the dark emotions in his heart were about to burst out, but the next moment he reluctantly said: "... I will."
After saying this, Edwin staggered away as if he never wanted to face this scene again.
Shao Ci thought that he should explain it to him when he was online, but now is really not the time, and there are more important things waiting for him to solve.
"What's the matter?" Loris said, "Suddenly looking at me like this, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"His Royal Highness, why on earth did you do this?" Shao Ci said, "Even if you know my identity on the Internet, you don't have to say that in public, it's not good for you... Besides, you also saw it, I'm just a Beta, and my strength is not as powerful as in the virtual world."
It’s better to speak clearly now, lest Loris find out that he is a salted fish and get angry in the future →_→
"I know, I know far more than you think." Loris said, "I've been following you for a long time... After all, a person with such authority can make it impossible for me to find out who it is." , I am very interested in his real identity."
Shao Ci: "..." Hey, so the source of everything is here
"I've been looking for who that person is before, and I finally confirmed it after I did that to you." Loris smiled and said: "And after I found out that the little spicy prince is you, I also investigated clearly , you really don’t have the strength in the virtual world in reality.”
"Then why do you still do that..." Shao Ci couldn't figure out what Loris was thinking, but if he could figure it out, then the other party was just an ordinary villain...
"It's so interesting that a person has great strength in the virtual world but is just a mediocre Beta in reality." Loris said, "I'm really interested."
Shao Ci: "..." Please don't be interested in this kind of thing.
"And... I really like you." Loris leaned over, reached out to caress Shao Ci's cheek, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Do you still remember when you went to that planet for training before, Is it a sudden tantrum?"
"!!!" Shao Ci's body froze, and he was about to retreat subconsciously, but he was hugged tightly by Loris, and he could only ask: "You, how did you know about that?! "
That incident should only be known to the Zerg youth passing by, right? !
"Not only did I know, I was there at the time." Loris looked at the back of his neck, "You are delicious when you are in heat..."
Shao Ci: "You!?" What the hell is going on, don't tell him that the Zerg was pretended by Loris? ! Wait, that Zerg youth really seems to have blond hair and blue eyes... Although the appearance is completely different, who knows if Loris used some high-tech means to make it.
The prince of the empire is actually a Zerg or something. This simply subverts many plots in the original text, right? ! No, when I think about it, I feel that it is subtle enough to be connected, but it is still very sad.
When Shao Ci hadn't fully digested the matter, Loris' eyes darkened slightly, "...why do you smell of other people's pheromones on you?"
Shao Ci: "..." Fuck, this, this... I almost forgot that I did something with Edwin that cannot be described below the neck when I was in estrus.
"Could it be, who marked you?"
