C56 — The Wedding

He didn’t know whether Ji Canghai was being intentional or not, but after the Independent Army issued the order for all the soldiers to be tested, he brought Xiao Yu with him at all times and went to all the units to supervise the testing situation.

 

Xiao Yu naturally became familiar with the Independent Army, and after a long time, almost all of the soldiers in the Independent Army knew that Xiao Yu was Ji Canghai’s partner, the wife of their leader.

 

The results of the tests were not bad; no one in the Independence Army had been implanted with a microchip, except for a chef from Kukki Planet who had an inactive microchip in his brain.

 

Even the advanced civilisations didn’t have the energy to manipulate all the chips; they only selected some gifted humans and activated the chips in their brains selectively.

For those who had no use for them, even if they had a chip implanted, there was no need to activate it.

 

On this day, Liu Yilian brought news of Gu Xijiao: “Chief, our people have brought Gu Xijiao back and are now conducting particle tests on him.”

 

Ji Canghai nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yu. “Do you want to go and take a look?”

 

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment. “Go.”

 

He was also curious as to what the hero who had k-illed so many people in the original story actually looked like.

 

But when he actually saw Gu Xijiao, he was honestly a bit disappointed. The other party’s looks certainly couldn’t be considered ugly, but they weren’t that good-looking either, especially since his aesthetics had already become a lot higher after being exposed to Ji Canghai’s stunning face every day.

 

Now, when he saw Gu Xijiao, he only thought, “Oh, the male lead looks like this.”.

 

It couldn’t be helped; who could be interested in small dishes and congee when they had a lot of meat and fish every day?

 

The particle detector began to operate, the sleeping Gu Xijiao was sent into the instrument, and soon the instrument began to alarm.

 

Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai looked at each other and saw the intensity of the situation in each other’s eyes.

 

It was a good thing that their guesses about the advanced civilisation were right, but it also proved that the advanced civilisation did have bad intentions towards humanity.

 

“What are you going to do?” Xiao Yu watched as Gu Xijiao was sent to the operating room, and the doctor who operated on him was protected from head to toe to prevent the chip from blowing itself up.

 

“I’ll find a suitable opportunity to distribute the footage of Gu Xijiao’s examination and surgery and then have someone file a lawsuit with the Interstellar Court in the name of Gu Xijiao’s relatives.” Ji Canghai said.

 

Xiao Yu looked at him and frowned slightly. “But I don’t think that the Interstellar Court will directly intervene.”

 

“Humanity’s development needs time; what we can do is buy time for humanity’s development and not let human civilisation be prematurely destroyed at the hands of advanced civilisations.” Ji Canghai said it seriously.

 

Yes, only if humans themselves were strong could they have a say in the Great Interstellar Era. Humans needed to develop, but development would also attract covetous gazes, just like the mermaids, who were backstabbed by the advanced civilisations and hadn’t been able to regain their strength to this day.

“Old Ji, the situation is very serious,” Xiao Yu teased, his eyes gradually becoming firm. “Let’s cooperate with the mermaids, and as for the Federation, if you want, we’ll find a way to overthrow it.”

 

Ji Canghai rubbed Xiao Yu’s hair. Overthrowing the Federation was indeed tempting, but with their current strength, they couldn’t compare to the Federation, which had a thousand years of heritage.

 

The Independence Army and the Federation nowadays were holding each other back and counterbalancing each other, but neither of them dared to start a large-scale war rashly.

This was because once a war broke out, it would have a traumatic effect on any of the forces, which would be particularly unfavourable to the development of humanity.

“I will consider negotiating with the Federation,” Ji Canghai said in a deep voice, “I want the culprit who framed the Ji Family to get the punishment they deserve, and I also want to give the Perfect Inhibitor its rightful name, this is the condition of my co-operation with the Federation.”

 

It was believed that after the matter of the chip became public, the federation would be reluctant and would agree to Ji Canghai’s request due to the pressure of public opinion.

 

Xiao Yu knew that this road was littered with thorns, but as long as it was decided by Ji Canghai, he would accompany him.

……

One year later.

 

Wearing the Mermaid Crown on his head, Xiao Yu stood in the glorious Mermaid Palace and received the attention from the representatives of the Mermaids, the Federation and the Independence Army.

 

After the revelation of the ‘Chip Plan’, the Federation and the Independence Army had ushered in a temporary peace.

 

Today, the representatives of the Federation and the Independence Army accepted the mermaid king’s invitation to attend his wedding with the leader of the Independence Army.

 

The union of the two powers in charge was definitely not good news for the Federation, which was isolated from the outside world.

 

They didn’t dare to be the slightest bit slow and kept their spines straight the entire time, fearing that they would invite trouble for the Federation.

 

Xiao Yu wasn’t a small-minded person, and his wedding with Ji Canghai didn’t have any traps.

 

It was just a simple wedding.

 

The mermaid clan had been shrouded by the haze of genetic defects for thousands of years, and this wedding was the grandest one in such a long time.

 

The aisle of the palace was paved with a thick red carpet, and both sides were filled with precious mermaid specialty Mordeaux flowers, the petals of which were as bright as pearls and shimmered with a moving light.

 

Just then, the thick and ancient doors of the mermaid palace slowly opened, and bright light shone into the great hall through the doorway.

 

There was more and more light, and colourful butterflies also flew into the palace, adding a bit of vitality to the palace.

 

Ji Canghai was dressed in a white suit, outlining his slender figure, and his eyes, which had captivated the world, had been staring unobtrusively at his lover not far away from him since he had entered the hall.

 

He stepped forward, and when he arrived in front of Xiao Yu, he kneeled down on one knee, and he was clearly holding a spatial ring.

 

“Xiao Yu,” Ji Canghai looked up at his beloved king, his voice with some raspiness, full of devotion. “Long time waiting, and I love you.”

 

I love you.

 

Even though Ji Canghai had said it to him countless times and heard it again, on such an occasion, Xiao Yu still felt waves in his heart.

 

“I love you too.”

 

The young king put on the one-of-a-kind ring and embraced his lover in front of all the attention.

 

Even if the future is full of thorns, I will accompany you and cut through the thorns.
