"The bus we were on fell into a deep pit in the dense forest of Solitia. When I went there, there were only the wreckage of the vehicle and a male corpse. There was an ID card in his bag. His name was Han Yan."
"I buried him in a dirt pit nearby and searched the area, but didn't find any other bodies of tourists. I don't know if they were alive like us."
As Lu Yuan explained in a low voice, Asui was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. Although he had guessed that his third grandfather might have met with an accident, he still found it hard to believe when he actually confirmed it.
Seeing Ah Sui's eyes turning red, Lu Yuan panicked and stammered, "Hey... you, don't cry, if I had known I wouldn't have told you..."
Ah Sui came back to his senses after hearing this and wiped his eyes hastily: "Next time if there is a chance, can you take me there to have a look?"
He wanted to pay homage to his third grandfather, and if conditions allowed, dig up the body. He couldn't just bury his third grandfather in the woods and let him become a wandering ghost.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then pointed at Ashya who was sitting on the sofa and whispered to Asui, "You have to ask Ashya for this kind of thing. I just heard from His Majesty that the entire Solitia jungle has been given to him to develop. I don't know if the deep pit has been filled."
Asui looked in the direction Lu Yuan pointed, and could only catch a glimpse of a thin and tall silhouette. In the interweaving of light and shadow, the other person looked absent-minded with his eyes downcast. After a moment, he got up and went to the balcony to smoke.
That familiar feeling came to my mind again.
Ah Sui muttered to himself: "He looks like my third grandfather."
Lu Yuan was enjoying the fun and said, "Why is this impossible? I heard from His Majesty that a pure-blooded male insect was recently born in Horsburg, and he became the partner of the northern leader, Phaeth. Tsk... Phaeth, you'll know when you see him, that female insect is not someone you can easily mess with."
Ah Sui sniffed and said, "That makes sense. Thank you for telling me the news."
Brand noticed that he was not in a good mood: "Why are you unhappy? Did some bugs bully you?"
Asui originally attended the banquet to have fun, but he didn't expect to be filled with sorrow. He was sad that his third grandfather had passed away, and he was also worried that Xu Cenfeng was not having a good life in the north. He had been frowning ever since he left the palace and boarded the aircraft.
Lu Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "You're welcome. We are the only two Earthlings here. It's only natural for us to help each other."
He couldn't swallow this insult when he thought about his hard-earned money.
But that shouldn’t be the case, he saw Asui and Lu Yuan were chatting happily.
Asui said, "It's not just the two of us. Brother Cen Feng is here too."
Maybe the body has rotted.
Lu Yuan didn't know what he remembered when he heard this. He sneered and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Of course I remember him."
Ah Sui thought it was unlikely: "Brother Cen Feng knows Kung Fu, so he shouldn't be bullied, right?"
Ah Sui said uncertainly: "Brother Cen Feng should have gone to the north. He said he wanted to find a friend."
Asui shook his head but said nothing. He only said, "Brand, can we go back to the Solitia jungle later?"
Asui: “Why?”
Lu Yuan ruthlessly punctured his fantasy: "How is that possible? Your third grandfather died a long time ago."
That fucking tour guide cheated him out of over 5,000 yuan in registration fees! Luxury accommodation, pristine ruins, and exploring a lost civilization were all lies! !
Lu Yuan's fists stiffened: "Where is he now?"
Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this: "Who is Brother Cen Feng?"
Ah Sui's eyes turned red when he heard that, and he wanted to cry again. Lu Yuan secretly blamed himself for being rude, and quickly said to make amends: "Well, the dead cannot be resurrected. If you are really sad, go back and burn more paper money for your third grandfather, so that he can get married and start a family as soon as possible, so that he can rest in peace in the afterlife."
Lu Yuan gloated when he heard this: "North? That would be miserable for him."
Asui scratched his head: "Brother Cen Feng was the tour guide, have you forgotten? He was sitting diagonally opposite my Third Grandpa at the time, and he was also wearing a hat."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know? In the north, females are respected. The female insects there are more ferocious than each other. Male insects will only be bullied if they go there."
Brand paused after hearing this: "Why do you suddenly want to go back there?"
Ah Sui tried to hold it in for a long time but couldn't bring himself to say that his third grandfather was dead, so he could only say dryly, "The scenery over there is quite beautiful, I want to go and see it."
Brand gently kissed the tip of Asui's nose, and obeyed his future lord in everything: "Sure, Lord Ashya has been developing tourist attractions recently, and the Solitia Forest is one of the projects. I will take you there when it is completed."
Asui: “…”
What a coincidence, his third uncle is also engaged in tourism development.
While they were talking, a pure black sports car suddenly slid past the outside, then took a half step back and drove back. The window was lowered, revealing Ashya's deep and gentle face.
Brand lowered the window politely to greet him, and nodded, "Sir Ashya."
Ashiya hummed, "I heard from His Majesty that you and His Majesty Asui are about to get married. Has the date been set?"
Although Brand didn't quite understand why the other party was so concerned about this issue, he still answered the question: "Thank you for your concern. It's scheduled for the 24th of next month. Please be sure to come then."
Ashya smiled and said, "Congratulations. The Eighth Prince and I will be there and we will prepare generous gifts."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Asui who was sitting in the cabin, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said in an ambiguous way: "You and His Majesty Asui seem to have a good relationship, and you stay together every day."
Brand seemed not to have noticed the teasing in his words, and replied calmly: "Excuse me, the military just approved my wedding leave recently, so I want to spend more time with him." "Very good."
Ashya only said this sentence. After he finished speaking, he rolled up the car window and was about to leave, but suddenly he heard someone call him "Third Grandpa" in a very low voice. It was so soft that he thought he was hallucinating for a moment.
Ashya was stunned.
The driver had already started the car and left, and the black car body quickly disappeared at the end of the snowy night.
Brande tilted his head and looked at Asui, with a puzzled look on his face: "What did you call Mr. Ashya just now?"
Ah Sui kept silent, shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Asui thought he must be stupid, how could he think Ashya looked like his third grandfather. He also couldn't guess that there was such a thing as soul transfer in the world, it was too beyond his cognition.
Asui and Brande's wedding was scheduled for the 24th. Although that day was not as warm and beautiful as expected, and there was even a light snow, it still did not dampen the guests' joy.
Asui and Brand were both dressed in white dresses, standing in front of the stage to accept the necessary procedures of the couple ceremony. The white-haired southern etiquette officer held up a bowl of snow water that had been offered in front of the temple, and flicked it on their foreheads with his fingertips, symbolizing rebirth and purity:
"Yinchatet was once extremely rich. It not only possessed the richest resources and gems in the world, but also the clearest springs and the most unique scenery. Your Majesty, I hope you will learn to cherish the beauty of your partner instead of plundering it. I hope you can witness the natural rise and fall of all growing things. The Insect God blesses you."
Asui nodded: "I will protect him all his life."
The etiquette officer flicked his finger and dotted the snow water on Brand's forehead: "Beauty is not a sin, and rarity is not a sin. Please do not be proud or cowardly because of this. Although the Insect God has not given you powerful military force, he still has the responsibility to protect you. May you protect your partner and not be robbed. In your heart, he will be more important than all the beauty in the world. The Insect God blesses you."
Brand nodded seriously: "I will protect him all his life."
After they finished talking, they exchanged rings in front of everyone. Chief Harrington, who was sitting in the audience, saw this and with red eyes, he stretched out his hands to applaud. He finally put his mind at ease after more than 20 years of worry.
The South has rich land and beautiful skin, but it has no ability to protect them. Hundreds of years ago, the land was first annexed by the West, and then countless female insects had their wings plucked by the male insects beside them. Only they themselves know the bitterness in their hearts.
Now, Brande not only married a pure-blooded male insect, but his majesty is also very kind, so she shouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life.
The Zerg wedding ceremony was similar to that on Earth. After Asui and Brand finished the partner ceremony, they came down to toast each other. Lu Yuan sat at the male Zerg family table, which inevitably looked a bit strange. After all, Asui had no relatives or friends in Saliland, so Lu Yuan was sitting in the wrong seat.
The Seventh Prince Yusitu secretly touched Lu Yuan's arm and said, "This is the family table. Did you sit in the wrong seat? What if His Majesty blames you?"
Lu Yuan couldn't explain to him that he and Asui were from the same hometown, so he could only make up an excuse: "What are you afraid of? He and I both have black hair and black eyes, so we look like relatives. Besides, Asheya is sitting at the family table."
Upon hearing this, Yusitu looked in the direction of Lu Yuan's finger and discovered that the Eighth Prince Gain and his lord Ashya were also sitting nearby. He was a little surprised: "Are they on good terms with His Majesty Asui?"
Lu Yuan lowered his voice and gossiped, "I heard that this time, Ashya gave him a villa in the center of the imperial capital and 5% of his company's shares. Tsk, he is indeed a businessman, he is very generous."
While they were talking, Asui and Brande came over with wine glasses in hand. Seeing this, Lu Yuan stopped talking immediately, stood up from his seat with Justu, raised his wine glasses and said, "Asui, Brande, I wish you a happy marriage."
Brand smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your blessing."
After he finished speaking, he clinked his glasses lightly and drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression.
Ah Sui followed suit: "I did it, you guys can do whatever you want."
Lu Yuan raised his hand to press the rim of his cup, lowered his eyes to take a look inside, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Tsk, why are you pretending? It's filled with boiled water, right?"
Asui's eyes wandered: "Brand said that I can't drink."
Lu Yuan was happy: "Hey, it's ok to use plain water when you toast me, but you can't use plain water when you toast the Eighth Prince and the others, they gave you a lot of money."
As soon as he finished speaking, a calm voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Your Highness Asui is still young, it is better for him to avoid smoking and drinking."
Lu Yuan looked back and saw that Ashya and the Eighth Prince Gain had stood up and walked over. The gentle male insect raised his glass and clinked it with Brande, his gray-blue eyes full of smiles: "Gain can't drink, I'll drink this for him, I wish you two a happy marriage."
Brand always felt that the male insect in front of him was somewhat unpredictable. He stared at him calmly, his light blue eyes were so beautiful that people dared not look directly at him: "Sir, thank you for your blessing, but the gift you sent is too expensive, which really makes me feel uneasy."
Ashiya shook his glass slightly after hearing that, but looked at Asui and said, "It's okay, I just think His Majesty Asui's Kung Fu is very good, and I want to make friends with him and learn from him in the future."
After he finished speaking, his fingertips loosened, and the wine glass in his hand suddenly fell straight to the ground. Asui was about to take action when he saw this, but unexpectedly, the other party's movements were faster than his.
Without even looking, Ashya kicked the cup with the tip of his shoe as it landed. The cup, which was still half full of wine, flew up again due to the force and spun half a circle in the air. He turned his wrist deftly and caught it steadily without spilling a drop of wine.
This move is the Kung Fu of Folang Village, called "Green mountains remain unchanged, green water flows forever."
Asui's pupils contracted for a moment when he saw this, and he looked at Ashya in shock.
Ashya just raised his hand to adjust the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. His movements were familiar, just like an old friend of his.
"call-"
A gust of wind blew up the snow outside.
