Ji Canghai’s subordinates watched as Xiao Yu followed Xiao Yang towards their room.

 

They looked at each other with blank stares, asking each other with their eyes if they should go forward to stop them.

Liu Yilian scanned the group of colleagues with disgust. What were they afraid to ask, and who were they looking at in confusion? She turned to the chief and spoke first: “Can we let Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yang live together like this? Xiao Yang’s character is so jumpy that he might spill the beans.”

Ji Canghai was still pondering why Xiao Yu didn’t want to sleep with him; he didn’t believe what Xiao Yu said. He knew very well that Xiao Yu liked him, and it just so happened that he liked him too.

Why would two people who were in love with each other keep their distance? This was something he couldn’t understand.

“I want him to stay with me,” Ji Canghai had just said that he would respect Xiao Yu’s choice, but he turned around and changed his mind. “But can we do it without forcing him?”

“I’ll try.” Liu Yilian had to accept the order.

She was really worried about her boss’s love.

On the other hand, Xiao Yu followed Yang Yongning to his room, which was decorated differently from Ji Canghai’s at first glance. The first thing that caught his eye was the wall of figurines, most of which were in the form of mechas, and occasionally there were also some cute animals.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the wall of figurines and didn’t touch it; he just quietly admired each and every one of the figurines.

“You also like figurines?” Yang Yongning instantly lit up.

Seeing Xiao Yu nod, he warmly introduced the characters symbolized by each of his figurines. Xiao Yu listened with great interest; the entertainment industry in the future world mostly revolved around mechas. The figures of mecha warriors were also often found in movies, TV shows, and anime novels. From Yang Yongning’s introduction, he gained some insight into the future world’s entertainment environment.

 

Technology had penetrated into every industry, and mechas were even more sought after throughout the universe, and mecha warriors had become a profession that everyone aspired to.

“My dream is to become a super mecha warrior like Dinas (the strongest mecha warrior in a film or TV drama), who helps the weak and the strong and saves the universe!” Yang Yongning clenched his fists and made a bold statement.

Xiao Yu appreciated the teenager’s spiritedness. “It’s good to have a dream; I wish you success.”

Yang Yongning thanked him and happily invited Xiao Yu to introduce his various collections.

In addition to the artifacts, there were also posters of his idols pasted on the bedside of his bedroom, as well as the signatures of the mecha fighters that he had treasured over the years, making him a star-struck little fanboy.

Xiao Yu curiously asked him, “Who do you think is the strongest mecha warrior?”

“Of course it’s Dinas; he’s a mecha warrior that can smash the universe out of a black hole!” Yang Yongning answered without hesitation.

Xiao Yu shook his head and lost his smile. “Not counting these virtual characters, let me ask about the real ones: who is the strongest mecha warrior in your mind?”

Yang Yongning looked towards Xiao Yu with the lingering heat that had not yet receded in his eyes and said, “The strongest mecha warrior in my heart is none other than the boss. Sister-in-law, if you’ve seen Boss control a mecha in battle, you’ll definitely fall in love with him! No, you’re already in love with him; I should say you’ll love him even more!”

Xiao Yu: “……”

 

He was glad that Yang Yongning was such a character; at least the probability of him succeeding would be higher. “I know that he has a Class 10 mecha, but when I saw it, it was damaged beyond recognition. Xiao Yang, do you have any photos or videos of that mecha from before? I want to take a look at what it looked like before it was damaged.”

“Of course there is!” Yang Yongning opened the drawer and picked through a bunch of posters. “Found it! Sister-in-law, look, this is what Jingfeng looked like when it was complete.”

Jingfeng, as expected, was one of the top ten-level mechas, originally exclusive to Ji Canghai in the novel.

The pure white mecha shell was embedded with large and small propulsion devices, and the most eye-catching thing was the longsword, the very weapon Ji Canghai used on the Desolate Planet.

Yang Yongning noticed that Xiao Yu’s gaze lingered on the longsword for a long time and immediately felt more than a little bit of a sense of heroism. ”This sword is called the Wind Catcher, and it can extend the longsword’s light flame to a maximum of ten meters when it is full of energy. And its speed is so fast that even the wind can’t catch it, so it was named Wind Catcher.”

Originally, the long sword could also ignite flames. It was believed that the reason why Ji Canghai didn’t activate flames when he was on the deserted star was also due to insufficient energy. If given the opportunity, he would really like to see what the Wind Catcher looked like at full strength.

Xiao Yu had admired the might of the mecha enough and finally didn’t forget the purpose of this trip. He glanced sheepishly at the innocent and harmless Xiao Yang and silently apologized to him in his heart: “Actually, Cang Hai has already confessed to me that he is Ji Canghai and also told me all about the Independent Army.”

Ignoring the dumbfounded Yang Yongning, Xiao Yu continued, “I don’t know if Ji Canghai has told you guys, but he and I met on the Desolate Planet, and I grew up on the Desolate Planet, so I’m not too clear about anything in the outside world. So I want to ask you, Ji Canghai said that the Independence Army is the one that goes against the Federation; is that true or false?”

He had to hurry up and find out the Independent Army’s bottom line, so he simply told Yang Yongning directly that what he knew was what Ji Canghai had told him, tricked little Yang into trusting him, and then verified the doubts in his mind one by one. If it was just a simple question and answer, Yang Yongning might not be able to tell any key information, but if he was guided to integrate the way of questioning with the information he had obtained from the original book, so that Xiao Yang only had to answer yes or no, then Yang Yongning would reveal a lot of information without even realizing it.

Sure enough, Xiao Yang was still young: “It’s true, and it’s not that we have to fight against the Federation; it’s the Federation that deceived the people and smeared us as rebels!”

 

Xiao Yu immediately made a contemplative gesture: “The federation says that you are rebels; while you say that you are the Independence Army, I don’t even know who to believe anymore. If the Federation wants to throw dirty water on the Independence Army, there has to be a reason, right? Could it be that just because Ji Canghai used to be a five-star admiral, the chief of the Federation was afraid that he’d get credit for his work, so he punished him for treason?”

“That’s not true,” Yang Yongning was more or less still a bit wary, but on second thought, this shouldn’t be considered a secret; after all, the members of the Independence Army knew it, so it shouldn’t be a big deal to tell his sister-in-law, “The Federation is targeting the Boss because the Boss discovered a secret that the Federation covered up for half a century. This secret was enough to shake the Federation’s dominance and cause social unrest in the Federation, so they tried to silence the boss.”

“So Ji Canghai’s fall to the Desolate Star was also the handiwork of the Federation?” A flash of sternness crossed Xiao Yu’s eyes.

Yang Yongning nodded. “The spies planted by the Federation in the Independence Army destroyed Boss’s mecha and caused him to suffer so much. Sooner or later, this account will have to be settled with the Federation!”

Xiao Yu naturally wouldn’t just believe Xiao Yang’s side of the story; what he was curious about now was what secret was so powerful that the federal hierarchy would rather give up a five-star admiral and k*ill him to keep the secret.

“Can you tell me what the secret is?” Xiao Yu was worried that Yang Yongning wouldn’t tell him honestly and added, “It couldn’t be the complete inhibitor that Ji Canghai injected me with, right?”

It wasn’t for no reason that he said that, when Yang Yongning said something like’shaking the rule of the Federation’, the first thing that came to his mind was the Complete Inhibitor that Ji Canghai had once used on him. A potion that could completely inhibit an Omega’s need for Alpha, one could only imagine what kind of ripples it would cause in the Federation when it was released.

Yang Yongning was shocked. How could the boss even tell his sister-in-law about this?

He was about to reply when he heard a ‘bang’, which scared him so much that he hurriedly hugged Xiao Yu, “Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!”

 

Xiao Yu gave him an expressionless look before turning his gaze to the source of the sound. The sound came precisely from the bathroom, so they rushed and opened the bathroom door together.

Water gushed out of the ruptured water pipe and poured all over them as the water level quickly rose and surged outside the bathroom.

 

“Oh no, how did the water pipe break? Sister-in-law, quickly help me call someone over; I’ll find something to see if I can plug it.” Yang Yongning wiped his face, and without hesitation, he took off the clothes on his body to plug the water pipe.

Xiao Yu hurriedly nodded in agreement, stepping on the standing water and rushing out of the room, shouting loudly.

Strangely enough, it was as if these people had disappeared. He knocked on every door but failed to reach any of them.

Until he came to the end of the corridor and had to knock on Ji Canghai’s door.

The door to the room slowly opened, and Ji Canghai, who was clad in a bathrobe, asked him with a frown while rubbing his hair with a towel, “Who is it?”

Xiao Yu forced himself to calm down and said, “It’s me.”

Even though he knew that this wasn’t the time to appreciate his boyfriend, his eyes couldn’t help but stick to Ji Canghai’s bare, still wet, toned pectoral muscles. After being moisturized by the water, the texture on those muscles had become even more pronounced, and the lines of his abdomen were clear, so he could imagine how good it would feel in his hands.

“What is it?” Ji Canghai’s voice carried a slight lethargy, and it was evident that returning to the airship had relaxed his body and mind.

Xiao Yu hurriedly told Ji Canghai about the broken water pipe, hoping that the other would help find someone to repair it.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Ji Canghai said and took the communicator out of his spatial ring, launching a communication invitation to Liu Yilian and the others at the same time.

However, no one answered for a long time.

 

Ji Canghai regretfully retrieved the communication instrument and suddenly remembered something like, “At this time, they’re probably training at the training ground. It’s been too long since I’ve been involved in training; I’ve almost forgotten the exact time.”

Xiao Yu: “Then where is the training ground?”

Ji Canghai stretched out his hand and signaled for Xiao Yu to lead him: “I’ll take you there.”

Xiao Yu had no choice but to take Ji Canghai’s hand, then he heard the other party say bitterly, “I just finished my bath; can I change my clothes before going?”

But it was important to repair the plumbing.

“If you don’t mind, I can also just go over there.” Ji Canghai deliberately relaxed the knot of his bathrobe a little, and as he walked, the bathrobe slid down with him, barely covering the key areas.

It was simply better to not cover it!

Xiao Yu could only compromise: “Go change.”

Ji Canghai, however, got the better of him. “Change it for me, okay?”
