There are only two purposes for buying slaves, one is to warm the bed, the other is to do work. This female insect cub is only thirteen years old, can't carry anything, and her body stinks more than a garbage dump. Phaeth thinks Xu Cenfeng bought her back just to annoy him.
Xu Cenfeng didn't expect Phaeth to say that. He was stunned for a moment. Although he really wanted Phaeth to have insect eggs, he wasn't crazy enough to do that. He smiled and shook his head:
"you misunderstood."
After Xu Cenfeng finished speaking, he walked forward and rescued the insect cub from Phaeth's hands, then straightened the back collar of the insect cub's clothes that had been torn and deformed. He found that the clothes on the insect cub were so rotten that a hole would be torn with a slight pull.
When Phaeth saw Xu Cenfeng trying to touch the smelly little monkey, he frowned and said in a low, warning voice: "Xu Cenfeng—"
If the other person touches that smelly skinny monkey, don't even think about touching him again.
Xu Cenfeng knew what Phaeth wanted to say as soon as he heard it, and whispered, "It's okay, just wash him clean."
However, this insect cub was already thirteen years old, and there was a difference between male and female, so Xu Cenfeng was not convenient to do it himself. He saw the gardener working outside the flower garden, so he simply opened the window and called him in, asking him to take the insect cub to the shower room for a bath.
Phaeus's face couldn't get any darker. If he had to describe how he felt right now, it would probably be that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel. He even felt that the air he breathed was polluted.
Xu Cenfeng went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and when he came out he saw Phaeth lying on the sofa in a bad mood. Perhaps he was too bored, as he was playing with a black light energy gun in his hand, half-squinting one eye and practicing aiming at the ceiling.
Xu Cenfeng was puzzled: "He is so young, what crime could he have committed?"
This kind of eye color is not common in Horsburg, and most of the time it only appears in the royal family. Just like the royal families in the west are mostly silver-haired and red-eyed, and the royal families in the north are mostly red-haired and green-eyed, it has become a symbol of status.
They are all green.
Xu Cenfeng said: "So let's stick with this one."
Upon hearing this, Phaeth sneered disdainfully and lay back on the sofa: "He is a little criminal slave wandering on the sea, how could he have a surname."
When Phaeth saw him touch his hand, his eyelids twitched wildly: "Hand."
Phaethon had no idea that the slave named "Agu" might be his lost cousin.
Xu Cenfeng smiled and said, "I have washed it."
Agu is just a slave, but he has a pair of green eyes. Wouldn't Phaeus feel strange
Of course, Faus found it strange, but there were too many fallen royal families in Horsburg, and those nobles often went out to have affairs, so there was no guarantee that there were some illegitimate children living outside. He said indifferently, "Maybe his ancestors had royal blood. There are many green-eyed fallen nobles in the slums."
Xu Cenfeng didn't say anything after hearing this. He lowered his head and looked through the crime contract in his hand. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Do you think the eyes of that insect cub are very similar to yours?"
In his previous life, Admiral Weather was fighting outside, and his young son Oguz was stolen by an enemy general when he was less than one year old. There was no news of him for more than ten years. Even Admiral Weather thought that the child must have met with an accident, not to mention Phaeth, who probably had forgotten that he had a little cousin long ago.
Phaeth said in a deep voice: "How dare you!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed the female insect cub's crime contract and identity certificate on the coffee table beside him. He took it and looked through it, and found the word "Agu" written in the name column: "Is that insect cub called Agu? Why doesn't it have a surname?"
Maybe it was because of the weakness after the marking, but Phaeth looked weak these past two days, and would rather lie down than sit. He put one hand behind his head, wondering how Xu Cenfeng didn't even understand this: "The Laguna Deep Sea is under the jurisdiction of the Empire. There are many rare and endangered species in it. Only military licensed ships can fish. Some poor people secretly drive boats into the deep sea to hunt in order to make money, and then resell them on the black market. That criminal slave is a member of the poaching gang."
Xu Cenfeng asked seriously: "Can you bring back a prettier one?"
He has a serious obsession with cleanliness.
Faus became even more unhappy after hearing this. He threw the gun away, sat up from the sofa, stared at Xu Cenfeng, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said: "Hurry up and throw that little piece of trash out!"
Although he is called a member, he is actually most likely a homeless child adopted by a poaching gang. He is at most responsible for cleaning and doing hard labor on the ship. Unfortunately, due to his humble status, no one will clear the injustice of a little slave.
Seeing this, Xu Cenfeng stepped forward and slightly pressed the gun in Faus's hand down towards the ground to prevent it from accidentally going off: "Don't play with guns at home."
Xu Cenfeng wanted to point it out, but he couldn't explain how he knew about this, so he had to take a long-term view and planned to keep the insect cub and raise it first.
The gardener who was responsible for bathing Agu took two hours to wash him clean. Because there were no suitable clothes, he could only put on a loose shirt and find a pair of trousers, which he tied with a rope to make a belt.
When Agu was dragged out of the bathroom by the gardener, Xu Cenfeng only felt as if he saw a skinny scarecrow being pulled out by the gardener, wearing empty and ill-fitting clothes. The scene was inevitably a bit funny.
The gardener bowed to Faus and Xu Cenfeng and said, "Chief, Your Excellency, this bug has been cleaned."
Maybe it was because no one taught him etiquette, but Agu was a little wild and unruly, and he kept roaring and trying to bite the gardener. Unfortunately, the gardener was strong and held him down with one arm, so Agu could only struggle to flutter in the air.
Phaeth disliked the noise, and cast a cold glance with his dark green eyes. He released his mental pressure without making a sound, and Agu immediately quieted down.
Seeing this, Xu Cenfeng stepped forward and took Agu from the gardener, then put him on the carpet. The latter opened his mouth and wanted to bite his hand, but Xu Cenfeng swiftly dodged and grabbed the scruff of the neck like a cat.
Xu Cenfeng noticed that the sleeves of Agu's clothes were a lot longer, and asked, "Is there no suitable clothes for him to wear?"
The gardener said with embarrassment, "Sir, this bug is too small. There is no suitable clothing for him in the villa. He is already wearing the smallest size."
Xu Cenfeng thought so too. How could a leader's residence have clothes for bugs? He reached into the pocket of Phaeth's military uniform and fumbled for a moment, then found his wallet. He took out a few large-denomination bills and handed them to the gardener, saying, "Go to the store outside and help him pick out three suitable sets of clothes. The remaining money will be his extra salary this month."
The gardener was so happy when he heard this that he thought this male insect was not only handsome but also had a good temper. He took the money with both hands and bowed repeatedly, saying, "It's not hard, I'll do as you ask."
After saying this, he turned around and left the house, and immediately went to the mall to buy clothes.
Faus was lying on the sofa, completely dumbfounded. He watched Xu Cenfeng reach into his pocket, take out his wallet to pay the bill, and then close the wallet again and put it into his military uniform pocket. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, and he said in an incredible voice: "Xu Cenfeng—"
It was too much for the other party to steal something. Not only did he take his wallet, but he also dared to buy clothes for that stinky kid? !
Xu Cenfeng was originally sitting cross-legged on the carpet. When he heard Phaeth's voice, he subconsciously turned around and saw that the other party was staring at him with an unpredictable expression. He simply leaned over and kissed Phaeth, and whispered seriously: "I will make money to support you in the future."
Phaeth: “…”
Phaeth was stunned for a moment, thinking how come Xu Cenfeng's thinking was always different from other insects. How could a male insect go out to make money? As the leader of the northern region, did he need him to support him? It was ridiculous.
Faus instinctively wanted to sneer, but when he saw Xu Cenfeng looking at him with a gentle smile, he couldn't say anything. He finally turned over on the sofa with his back to Xu Cenfeng, frowned and said, "Who cares about you raising me?"
Xu Cenfeng didn't say anything, he knew that Phaes was rare.
Agu had been standing by without making any movement. He might have finally realized that the two insects in front of him were not easy to deal with. One of them had terribly strong mental power, and the other had great kung fu skills. So he just showed a row of sharp teeth like a little beast in demonstration, trying to intimidate them.
Xu Cenfeng always has a bit more patience with the bug cubs. Noticing that Agu's sleeves were as long as those of an opera singer, he reached out and rolled them up for him to a suitable position, and rolled up his trouser legs that were half too long, so that he finally looked somewhat presentable.
Xu Cenfeng called him tentatively: "Agu?"
When Agu heard this, the tips of his ears twitched, and it seemed that he knew this was his name.
Xu Cenfeng's eyes were gentle: "You will live here from now on."
This little insect has many scars on its body. It must have been beaten a lot in the past. In such an extreme living environment, it is inevitable that it has some sharp thorns on its body.
Xu Cenfeng thought that he probably hadn't eaten yet, so he stood up and took out some food from the refrigerator, heated it up, brought it to the coffee table on a tray, and motioned for Agu to eat.
A Gu was obviously very hungry. When he saw the broth in the plate, his eyes sparkled with green light. Without thinking, he pounced on it and tried to eat it with his hands. Seeing this, Xu Cenfeng quickly stopped him and took a spoon from the side and put it in his hand: "Eat it with this."
Agu let out an angry growl.
Xu Cenfeng did not compromise, and put the spoon in his hand, with a gentle but firm attitude: "Eat with this."
As if he was afraid that Agu wouldn't know how to use it, he scooped a mouthful of rice and fed it into his mouth, demonstrated it once, and then handed it back to him.
Agu had no choice but to hold the spoon tightly and bury his head in the bowl to eat rice. He was like a wild beast when eating, fast and fiercely. From time to time, he raised his head vigilantly and looked around, as if some insects would come and snatch his food at any time.
The climate in the north is very cold. Although the villa is heated, it is still a bit chilly with only one piece of clothing. Xu Cenfeng saw that Agu's clothes were loose and windy, so he took off his coat and put it on him. Then he sat quietly beside him, hugged his knees and watched him eat.
The warm sun outside the window gave Xu Cenfeng's jade-like face a layer of golden light. His dark eyes were gentle and clear, as if no trivial matters could bother him.
Faus had turned around from the sofa at some point. He stared at the scene expressionlessly and raised his eyebrows: "This female insect cub is worthless, why are you being so nice to him?"
Xu Cenfeng glanced at him and asked in confusion, "Aren't females respected in the north? How can female insect cubs be worthless?"
Phaeth sneered, "Only powerful female insect cubs are valuable. A weak one like him is worthless."
The living environment of female insects in the north is not necessarily much better than that in the west. They admire the strong, so they have experienced countless cruel competitions and fights from childhood to adulthood. Male insects can still be canaries if they are unlearned, but female insects can only be eliminated if they are unlearned.
Xu Cenfeng shook his head slightly and didn't think so: "As long as it's my own bug, it doesn't matter whether it's male or female, or whether it's worth money."
After hearing this, Phaeth was silent for a moment, and then said dryly: "Hey, don't think that I will give birth to a worm baby for you just because you said that."
Xu Cenfeng was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a quick doorbell ring outside, as if a guest had arrived. Phaeth frowned and stood up to open the door, only to find that it was the deputy leader Yenia standing outside: "Why are you here?"
Yenia said anxiously, "Chief, this is bad. Something has happened."
Phaeth frowned when he heard that, and turned to go into the house: "Come in and tell me what you want to say."
Yenia had no choice but to follow in quickly: "Chief, please come with me to the Interstellar Hospital. The Hate family and the Hill family had a big fight today. They are surrounded by armed guards and are about to fight!"
Upon hearing this, Phaeth paused, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he felt a little strange: "Hait was obsessed with Hill, and he almost went bankrupt in order to buy luxury goods for him. Why did they suddenly start fighting?"
Yenia hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell the truth: "They..."
Phaeth didn't have much patience, and he said coldly, "Speak!"
Yenia then said, "The egg that Hater was pregnant with was aborted because... because of Hill's whipping..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the living room fell into silence, because this kind of thing was quite absurd in the north where females were respected. When Phaes first came to power, he had issued a decree that no male insect was allowed to whip a female insect, otherwise he would be severely punished.
But now Hill not only whipped the female insect in private, but also caused her to have a miscarriage. It is obvious that this matter is not so easy to solve.
Yenia felt that the situation was difficult: "Now the Hate family came to ask for an explanation, but the Hill family refused to admit it. The two families quarreled in the hospital and almost fought each other."
Upon hearing this, Phaeus's face instantly darkened. He had known that Hill was not an easy person to deal with. It was bad enough that he usually played tricks on those military generals, but this time he even dared to whip the female insect and cause it to have a miscarriage. He must be tired of living.
"Let's go and take a look."
After saying this, Faus walked to the coffee table, picked up the gun on it, checked the bullets, and then put it in his back. He remembered something and said to Xu Cenfeng, "I have to go out for something, you stay at home."
Upon hearing this, Yenia realized that there was another insect in the living room... No, to be exact, there were two, a male insect and a half-grown baby insect.
The male insect looked quite familiar, as if it was the one that was defeated by Phaeus in the ring that day.
Xu Cenfeng had looked over when Yenia entered the room. He stared at the female insect with gray hair and green eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. It was not until she looked over that he withdrew his gaze, stood up from the carpet, and walked straight to Phaeth. He said unexpectedly, "Chief, I want to go with you."
Upon hearing this, Phaeth paused, looked at him with an ambiguous expression, and said with a half-smile, "I guarantee that the scene will be bloody. Are you sure you want to go?"
Xu Cenfeng nodded: "OK."
He heard that Hill was shot and disabled by Phaeus in this way in his previous life, and he wanted to see if it was true.
