Jiang Ci actually couldn't quite understand why Huo Xianfeng's tail had his own thoughts most of the time, but that was the fact and he could only accept it.
But when three pairs of eyes were focused on him, Jiang Ci had no choice but to bite the bullet and pinch the tail, and quickly gave Huo Xianfeng a fierce look.
Knock knock.
The next second, the cold-blooded Wang received his wife's gaze and immediately knocked on the table. The transparent glass screen suddenly went black, blocking everyone's sight.
"-continue."
Huo Xianfeng spoke as if nothing had happened. He did not think it was embarrassing for his tail to swing wildly in his wife's hand. After all, the tail had its own ideas. What did Huo Xianfeng have to do with it
"Well, you're just in time. I just said I'd send someone to look for you."
Zhou Jiuya changed the subject.
In fact, they had not originally planned to let Jiang Ci participate, because after all, in everyone's eyes, an omega will enter a weak period of pregnancy, not to mention losing combat power, even the ability to live will be weakened. So even if Jiang Ci withdrew from the battle and stayed in the rear to take care of the baby, it would be normal. However, Huo Xianfeng said he wanted to wait for Jiang Ci, so he was going to find someone to bring him over, but he didn't expect him to arrive early.
"We were talking about the disappearance of the Holy White Tower before, but the more difficult thing now is that there is a problem on Hengyun Star."
Zhou Jiuya gave a brief summary of the previous events.
Jiang Ci was startled and subconsciously looked at Pei Changyun.
Something happened to Hengyunxing? ! !
"Did the church attack Hengyun Star?"
At this moment, the Emperor raised his hand casually, and Zhou Jiuya next to him received instructions from his leader. He retrieved the information transmitted from Hengyun Star.
"It's not an armed attack, but a few cities have been found to be infected by strange parasites."
The moment the picture was projected, Jiang Ci's eyes suddenly widened.
"Isn't this like..."
"—like a stigmata."
Zhou Jiuya helped him say the second sentence.
But they are not as good as those on Cecilia and the others. The ones in the picture look more like simple parasites.
"It is a parasite that looks like a stigmata. It is dark yellow in color and lives in the human body. It has a two-month dormant period. During these two months, the infected person will appear healthier, and organ failure will only begin in the third month. We have now found that the first infected person appeared in a small town at the far edge of the south, three months ago, which is when the former Alliance Speaker appeared."
Because it was not contagious at first, and everyone's attention was attracted by the emperor's scandal and the Zerg, and the infected people were very healthy in the first two months. So it was not discovered until a large number of infected people died one after another.
Pei Changyun closed his eyes: "It was my mistake."
All his attention was on Huo Chao. He subconsciously felt that the Illusionary God Cult would definitely use Huo Chao to deal with him. And the reason why Pei Changyun came to Shenglu Star this time was also for Huo Chao's clone. This was his only irrational move. Because once the church discovered his whereabouts, it would be easy to ambush him. Speaking of which, he was really grateful for the coup launched by the other party. It created the illusion that Pei Changyun stayed on Hengyun Star.
But now the issue of Hengyun Star's infection is obviously more difficult than a direct war.
Huo Xianfeng stared at the picture for a few seconds, then turned to ask Pei Changyun
"Are you going back now?"
"Yes, just these few days."
His Majesty the Emperor nodded. Something happened in the capital planet, so of course he had to go back to take charge of the situation. And he hadn't planned to stay for a long time on this trip.
"My whereabouts have been exposed, so I need a large number of troops to escort me back this time. However, the missing Holy White Tower has not been found yet, so Shengluxing has to leave some troops behind."
Huo Xianfeng nodded in agreement. He thought about it.
"Although Shenglu Star is not of much use to the church, we must keep it just in case. After the Eye of Hero is dealt with, I can let two-thirds of the Zerg army stay here."
After all, if all the Zerg enter Hengyun Star, it will cause panic among humans. It is better to stay and continue to scout and replenish energy. Mingcheng and the newly conquered military base, as well as the metal minerals underground, are enough to double the current Zerg army. Because low-level Zerg only need the mother to lay eggs to reproduce, with enough metal, they can grow exponentially. Moreover, the Zerg army can be mobilized much faster than humans.
Huo Xianfeng knocked on the table and turned to look at Pei Changyun.
"But there is still too little information. Find someone to ask."
A few minutes later, Cecilia's image was connected. She supported her face with one hand, and lay on the table as if she had no bones. She said in a delicate and lazy tone,
"Your Majesty, didn't you just meet me? Why did you ask me to come again? Could it be..."
At this point, she glanced at Huo Xianfeng next to her, as if she wanted to say something, but her eyes paused for a moment when they passed Jiang Ci, and she swallowed it again. The news of the outbreak of parasitic disease on Hengyun Star came after Pei Changyun met Cecilia, so he didn't ask at that time.
His Majesty the Emperor looked up at her calmly.
"I came to you for something else."
Then, Cecilia saw the photo on the projection. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then her expression returned to its normal state.
"This is not my mission. Although Leia is a very beautiful omega, she is mainly responsible for fighting."
Cecilia was smiling. She was still wearing the prison uniform, but the neckline was open, revealing the low-cut camisole underneath. The large area of white skin on her chest was crisscrossed with red-gold stigmata, like a creeping flower tattoo, sexy and charming.
"This kind of weird thing that looks like a stigma should be under the jurisdiction of Mr. Bernard, but he won't tell me his secret mission. Maybe you can ask He Zhun, but I don't think he would know. The little fox is indeed smart, but he failed when he started to act rashly. After all, the more impatient you are, the less likely you are to get your hands on the hot tofu."
Cecilia seemed to have said a lot of things, but she didn't reveal any useful information. Huo Xianfeng narrowed his eyes, stared at her for a few seconds, and asked,
"Why are your stigmata starting to turn red?"
It was like getting closer to the holy marks on the clone's body.
"Leah doesn't know that either."
Her beautiful round nails gently stroked her chest, and her smile did not reach her eyes.
"It's probably a gift from His Holiness the Pope."
Jiang Ci stared at Cecilia for a moment, and suddenly asked,
"You could have escaped at that time, why did you deliberately let yourself be captured?"
"What can obviously escape?"
Cecilia rubbed her shoulders and suddenly became weak.
"How can a weak omega like me defeat the legion commander? Apart from surrendering, what else can I do?"
At this moment, except for Huo Xianfeng, the expressions of everyone present became extremely unbelievable.
You are weak and powerless
Zhou Jiuya felt his temples throbbing, what kind of weak and feeble omega, there would never be such a creature around him in his life!!!
But at this time, Cecilia seemed to be addicted to acting and continued to pretend to be weak.
"And... and Zhou Jiuya is an old alpha who has been alone for more than three hundred years. If I resist, what if he..."
"Cecilia!"
Zhou Jiuya knew that this woman was trying to change the subject and talk nonsense, but he could not stand it any longer. He slammed the table and stood up. Before he could say anything, he heard Jiang Ci calmly interrupt him,
"You don't have to worry about that. My uncle... the legion commander doesn't like omegas."
Zhou Jiuya: “…???”
What?!
The legion commander turned around suddenly and looked at Jiang Ci in shock. His lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He was backstabbed by his own child? ! !
Huo Xianfeng turned his face away and made a disdainful "tsk" sound.
Pei Changyun frowned and said nothing.
As for Ye Shu, he had a blank expression on his face and clenched his fists again and again.
Only Cecilia was stunned for unknown reasons. She stared at Zhou Jiuya for a long time, frowned, and suddenly lost the mood to act. She said disdainfully,
"Why are all the alphas nowadays like Huo Chao? They don't like pretty and cute omegas, but prefer betas instead."
The next second, His Majesty the Emperor received everyone's attention. He remained calm and responded in a calm tone,
"It's still different. Maybe I don't like beta either."
"…?"
Cecilia: “???”
He doesn’t like omega, he doesn’t like beta, so could it be that Zhou Jiuya likes alpha
The next second, Ye Shu noticed that the three people opposite him were looking back and forth between him and Zhou Jiuya. So the city lord finally couldn't sit still anymore, and he followed Zhou Jiuya and angrily slammed the table -
"No! I still need to explain. I, Ye Shu, am a straight A. I have only been interested in omegas in my life. How could I possibly have anything with Zhou Xiaoniao?!! That time we were just drunk..."
Huo Xianfeng immediately covered his wife's ears with his hands, and at the same time wrapped his tail around his wife's belly.
"Aci, don't listen. Our Danzai can't stand listening to such dirty stuff either."
"… "
Jiang Ci was silent for a few seconds, but still nodded obediently.
Zhou Jiuya & Ye Shu: "..."
At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor also said that he did not want to hear the specific details of the two alphas. He quickly interrupted Ye Shu—
"That's all for today."
Originally, this meeting was just a spur-of-the-moment event, just to explain the situation on Hengyun Star. But now it seems that Cecilia really doesn't know about the epidemic, so no useful information can be obtained. As for the arrangements for the return flight, Zhou Jiuya will make all arrangements. So there is no need to continue this meeting.
Rather than listening to the two people arguing here, His Majesty the Emperor thought it would be better to discuss a solution with the officials of Hengyun Star who were actually handling the matter. So Pei Changyun stood up, turned around and walked away.
"I have something else to do."
After saying this, the Emperor's back disappeared at the door.
"… "
At this moment Zhou Jiuya felt very suffocated. He subconsciously looked up and met Cecilia's gaze. He saw that after the woman was shocked, she immediately revealed an expression of great disgust.
"Okay, I underestimated your alpha's bottom line."
Cecilia felt that all the alphas in this world were indeed incomprehensible creatures.
"… "
The legion commander had a blank expression on his face and directly cut off the video connection with the prison.
He finally understood why he had been single for so many years and couldn't find an omega. Everyone around him was a hindrance. He didn't have time because he was busy, and now he was accused of being in an AA relationship. He was afraid that he would be single until he died.
Zhou Jiuya took a deep breath and turned to look at Huo Xianfeng.
"Regarding the matter of the Eye of Hero and the Holy White Tower, I have already asked someone to start investigating. However, the return voyage is a big deal. In order to ensure the safety of His Majesty, it may take a few days to prepare."
"Um."
Huo Xianfeng nodded, stood up and pulled Jiang Ci to leave. At the same time, he glanced at Ye Shu.
"Please pay attention to the occasion next time and don't say certain things in front of the cubs."
Ye Shu: “…???”
This kid is not even as big as his fist now, how can he understand
But before he could refute, he saw the two people leave. Ye Shu was so angry that his throat choked. He turned his head and
"Zhou Jiuya, do you think they are..."
"stop!"
The legion commander quickly took three steps back.
"From now on, don't get close to me. The distance should not be less than 2.5 meters."
Ye Shu: “…”
After saying that, Zhou Jiuya strode out of the meeting room with a cold face.
"Oh shit!"
Ye Shu slammed his fist on the table. He felt like he couldn't live like this anymore!
On the other side, Jiang Ci and Huo Xianfeng returned to the warship's personal lounge.
As soon as Jiang Ci came back, she began to check the news about the epidemic in the capital star. The situation had not yet reached its worst point. At least it had only appeared in a few small cities and was still within controllable range.
"Huo Xianfeng, what do you think?"
"It seems that they know they can't win head-on, so they can only use some underhanded means and throw the pot into the ground."
Huo Xianfeng sat on a chair by the window with his arms folded across his chest, looking outside, his expression calm but as if he was thinking about something. This expression reminded Jiang Ci of the time when he was rescued by Huo Xianfeng on Tiandong Star.
At that time, the other party was holding a bottle of liquor, drinking it while enjoying the breeze, with the same expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"Did Uncle Changyun tell you something?"
"Well, he asked me to go there. He originally wanted to ask about the nuclear explosion on Earth."
Pei Changyun asked this question at that time:
[Huo Xianfeng, do you still remember the specific circumstances when the nuclear explosion occurred?]
But Huo Xianfeng really didn't remember. His memory only stayed at the last moment of his fall, which was when he saw Huo Chao for the last time in the Holy White Tower.
[I don’t remember. The degeneration of the Zerg will make me lose my mind and memory. I also want to know how Huo Chao managed to reverse it.]
[Is it… ]
Pei Changyun lowered his eyes and stopped asking. Because they both knew that this was the truth. Then, Pei Changyun received news from the capital star.
Huo Xianfeng looked into Jiang Ci's eyes.
"Pei Changyun must be hiding something from me. Otherwise, I have already answered the question about the nuclear explosion. He knows it, but he asked again. This means that he got some new information but didn't tell me."
"… "
Jiang Ci shook Huo Xianfeng's hand. He believed that Huo Xianfeng's guess was correct, but he didn't know how to respond.
"So, are we going to Hengyun Star together? Or are we just going to stay here?"
What he said was "Let's go together", not "Huo Xianfeng, do you want to go back with us?"
There is a big difference between the two.
"go."
The dark clouds in Huo Xianfeng's eyes suddenly disappeared.
"Holy Star of Dew has no use or meaning to the church anymore."
"How to say?"
"Jiang Ci, have you ever thought about why the Illusion God Cult was able to manipulate so many people in the past, but is now frustrated step by step and even somewhat vulnerable?"
Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment, as if he had never paid attention to this issue before.
"Because the church no longer has the support of the alliance?"
"right."
Huo Xianfeng nodded.
"Although the new empire is not as technologically advanced as the Illusionary God Cult, they have people in all walks of life. In addition, the Huo Dynasty had long planned to move to Hengyun Star, so they made a lot of preparations and had abundant resources. Without those corrupt senior officials of the alliance, the imperial system allowed Pei Changyun to finally gain the greatest voice and leadership. Under the impetus of various forces, the entire empire developed rapidly like a rocket and prospered day by day."
The long black tail gestured along with his words.
This scene was actually a bit funny. Huo Xianfeng had a cold expression and a serious tone, but his tail seemed unusually excited, and he was very cooperative in making a tail language similar to sign language.
Jiang Ci actually listened very seriously, but his eyes unconsciously followed the other person's tail. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to catch the other person's tail. Huo Xianfeng didn't notice that his wife had begun to lose focus. He was still seriously continuing his political class.
"The Illusionary God Cult, which was once at its peak and full of powerful people, is exactly the opposite. When they were in the Alliance, they were not the ones who led the development of a country. They were more like parasites clinging to the Alliance, madly sucking all the resources. The Pope is only thinking about regaining control of the empire, just like controlling the Alliance, not how to manage a new planet."
Huo Xianfeng looked out the window and squinted his eyes slightly. Although there was not much expression on his face, he had a sense of majesty as if he was in control of the situation.
"So it's obvious that what the Illusionary God Cult needs is only resources, not to lead humanity towards real development. And Shenglu Star is just a temporary place to stay. The next place where the disappeared Holy Relic White Tower will appear is definitely Hengyun Star."
Snapped!
Just as Wang's speech ended, Jiang Ci finally caught the tip of the tail that was swinging wildly in front of him. Huo Xianfeng paused, turned around and looked at his wife, the two looked at each other for three seconds, silent.
After a moment, Huo Xianfeng asked a soul-searching question:
"Jiang Ci, are you listening carefully?"
"… Um."
Jiang Ci's tone was a little guilty. He let go of her hand, sat down, and nodded. Although he didn't remember every word and sentence of the long speech, Jiang Ci remembered the last sentence, which was also the most important one -
"You said that the Holy White Tower will appear on Hengyun Star."
"oh?"
Huo Xianfeng stared at him expressionlessly and asked,
"What about the previous analysis?"
"… "
At this moment, Jiang Ci felt like he was a student who was caught and questioned by the teacher for being absent-minded in class. Fortunately, Bai Ze quickly helped him cheat through the biochip behind his ear.
"Aci! He just said #￥@..."
So the major general remained calm and repeated it fluently.
Huo Xianfeng raised his eyebrows and slowly glanced at the pendant on Jiang Ci's chest. Bai Ze was trembling with fear and subconsciously wanted to get into Jiang Ci's collar.
Jiang Ci knew that he had been exposed, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Well, I wasn't really listening."
He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a desire to catch Huo Xianfeng's tail, as if he was possessed by something.
At this time, Huo Xianfeng patted his wife's hand with the tip of his tail and comforted her,
"It's okay. I know that was not your intention. The eggs and the mother body affect each other. It's normal for you to do things that you didn't mean to do sometimes."
Jiang Ci: “…”
He seemed to suddenly understand what Huo Xianfeng had said before: "The tail has its own ideas."
After the short meeting in the morning, everyone is busy again. Pei Changyun is busy with Hengyun Star's affairs, Zhou Jiuya is busy with the deployment and planning of the return route, Tiandong Star is still under reconstruction, and Ye Shu also needs to deal with related matters.
As for Huo Xianfeng, he had to reorganize the army and at the same time begin to prepare to fulfill his obligation to take care of his wife. Jiang Ci originally wanted to go to the Central Temple to see if he could help search for the Holy White Tower, or deal with the matter of the Eye of Hero.
but-
Jiang Ci suddenly felt sleepy.
He was lying on the bed, intending to take a nap, but when he woke up from hunger again, it was already midnight.
Hungry…
So hungry…
Jiang Ci felt like he hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes, so he jumped up from the bed as if he was possessed by a starving ghost. But before he could say anything, he found a familiar white porcelain jar beside the bed.
Actually, the jar is very beautiful, with a white background and blue-green patterns.
Jiang Ci had a lot of porcelain at home. He originally thought it was his father's collection, but later he found out that it was his mother's hobby. She even liked it so much that she even named him "Porcelain". But now Jiang Ci, who was starving, had no time to feel sentimental. When he saw the beautiful porcelain jar, he felt that it was not a porcelain jar.
—That’s obviously his job!!!
Jiang Ci got up, hugged it, and found that it was filled with soft candies that were very similar to those in the morning, but the color was different. It was golden in the morning and pink in the evening. The taste and taste were also different. There was also a white table knife placed on it.
But when he thought that it was made of Huo Xianfeng's eggshell, Jiang Ci had a very strange feeling. While he was holding the table knife and poking the candy to eat, he was nervously thinking about how he would give birth to the egg in the future.
But no matter how you think about it, the scene seems bloody and difficult.
After all, it is already painful and difficult for an omega to give birth to a child, let alone an egg with a hard shell.
Just when Jiang Ci was lost in thought, Huo Xianfeng's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Is it tasty?"
"Um."
After Jiang Ci finished eating like a hungry wolf, he found that Huo Xianfeng was looking at something on the electronic board again. The major general froze instantly, he felt that every time Huo Xianfeng looked at something, it would not be good.
Jiang Ci's tone suddenly became alert.
"Huo Xianfeng, what are you looking at?"
"Oh, you mean this?"
Huo Xianfeng turned the electronic board over to show him.
"He Zhun sent me a massage instructional video, which he said could help relieve... breast engorgement during pregnancy."
"!!!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ci quickly jumped off the bed, snatched the electronic board, and was about to delete it immediately. But when she saw He Zhun appear in the video, Jiang Ci's hand on the delete button paused for a moment. In the end, she did not delete it, but encrypted and locked it.
"No need to look! No need to learn!"
Jiang Ci threw the electronic board aside, then held Huo Xianfeng's face and rubbed it again and again, as if chanting some spell to him.
"Huo Xianfeng, forget! Forget everything you just saw!"
"… "
Huo Xianfeng was silent for a moment, then said,
"Jiang Ci, believe in science. It is impossible to erase memories in this way."
"… "
The major general was stunned. After a while, his voice became faint, but he said in an unbelievable tone,
"Huo Xianfeng, someone like you actually... also believes in science?"
"…?"
Huo Xianfeng was also stunned.
What existence? How come he is a ghost
After a few inexplicable conversations, Jiang Ci finally remembered what he wanted to say.
"Anyway, you only watched the beginning of that massage video anyway, so it doesn't matter. It's okay if you can't forget it. You don't need to learn it anyway."
When Jiang Ci grabbed the electronic board, he took a quick look and saw that the video was half an hour long, and the playback progress was only about four or five minutes.
"Ah? Who said I only read the beginning?"
Huo Xianfeng was surprised.
“I was watching the beginning of it for the eighth time.”
Jiang Ci: “…”
Eight times
Jiang Ci was about to suffocate.
Why on earth did he want to meet He Zhun today? !
And why did he ask that question when he was leaving? ! !
"It's only a half-hour video, why do you have to watch it eight times?"
Jiang Ci remembered that Huo Xianfeng had a strong learning ability and could usually learn anything after reading it once. Thinking of this, Jiang Ci suddenly felt a sense of hope and immediately said with sympathy,
"Is it difficult? If it's too difficult, then you don't have to learn it. It doesn't matter."
"How can it be difficult?"
Speaking of this, Huo Xianfeng instantly became excited. How could there be anything in this world that could stump a king
"It's because He Zhun and I have different hand sizes, and the mannequin's breasts aren't as big as yours, so I'm making adjustments based on the actual situation, striving to achieve the best results."
Jiang Ci: “…”
The mannequin's breasts are not as big as yours...
My breasts are not as big as yours...
Not as big as you...
This sentence looped endlessly in Jiang Ci's mind.
He couldn't help but touch it himself. As an omega with underdeveloped muscles, Jiang Ci's figure has always been slightly thin, thin but not weak. But it seems that recently... his chest muscles are a little fuller. At least they can hold up the military uniform.
While Jiang Ci was stunned, Huo Xianfeng went to wash his hands and came back.
"Come on, I've learned it, let's practice it."
“… Can I refuse?”
This is so shameful.
Jiang Ci stepped back silently.
Huo Xianfeng felt very strange.
"Isn't this a normal sign for you omegas to be pregnant? And it's a bad symptom that needs to be treated. Why are you resisting so much?"
He walked towards Jiang Ci and poked his wife's soft chest.
"Besides, aren't you uncomfortable with the swelling?"
"… "
Jiang Ci was silent for a few seconds, and finally gave up bravely.
"...Okay, then you come."
Huo Xianfeng nodded, picked him up and said,
"Get in bed, it's safe."
Jiang Ci: “…???”
