C8 — First Interstellar Prison
by UntamedSThe starship slowly docked outside the Imperial Star space station, and Angnis brought He Xiangchen safely through the security check and arrived at the Imperial Star in a dignified manner.
He Xiangchen raised his head and looked at the lofty palace in front of him with a complex expression. He never thought in his life that he would set foot in the Imperial Palace of the Dimera Star—disguised as Miss Alice.
In the middle of his thoughts, a large palm suddenly covered his back waist. The force wasn’t too light, but it wasn’t too heavy, like the playfulness of a lover.
He Xiangchen’s demeanor turned cold, and he warned in a low voice, “Let go!”
“I won’t let go,” Angnis murmured towards him with his head hanging low. “Don’t forget the purpose of our journey.”
These words obviously had an effect; feeling that He Xiangchen’s spine was no longer tense, Angnis satisfactorily leaned close to his ear, “Don’t worry, leave everything to me.”
His warm breath sprayed on his ear, tickling it.
Looking at the general’s reddened ear, Angnis almost couldn’t resist taking it into his mouth.
Luckily, the officer in charge of security spoke up, which eased his nearly uncontrollable desire. “Please verify.”
Angnis pointed his communication device at the inspector, and a few moments later, the door opened automatically. He Xiangchen also passed the verification as he did the same.
“Have a good time.” The staff bowed.
He Xiangchen and Angnis walked into the banquet hall and quickly attracted the attention of many people. There was no shortage of rich people in the royal family, where everyone was dressed in opulence, but few had He Xiangchen’s and Angnis’s aura.
He Xiangchen was fine; he was tall, and even though he had trimmed his figure with a camouflage, he wasn’t as petite as a woman. But his perfect features still attracted a lot of attention for him. On the contrary, it was Angnis, without that uninviting aura, who captured the hearts of many young girls the moment he entered the banquet.
He Xiangchen, who stood beside Angnis, could naturally feel the fiery lines of sight that were fixated on Angnis.
In all fairness, Angnis was truly the most attractive man he had ever seen. His looks were impeccable, and God must have spent more than the usual amount of effort in sculpting him to make him look this pleasing to the eye. When he put on this tailor-made uniform, he was like an aristocratic gentleman who walked out of an oil painting; every part of him was full of hormones.
Anyone loved to look at beauty, and in the interstellar age, people’s gazes had only become more reckless.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the number of women who came to accost him was already too many to count on two hands. Even though Angnis kept his arm around He Xiangchen, it didn’t stop them from coming forward.
“You’re really popular; perhaps I should pretend to be a different character so as not to block your lu-stfully encounters.” He Xiangchen seriously said.
Angnis stifled a glance at him, and after politely declining another lady who invited him for a drink, he couldn’t help but take He Xiangchen into his arms as he turned to the crowd and said, “Thank you for your misplaced love, but I already have a wife, and we’re very much in love. I don’t want anyone to harass me anymore; it will cause a lot of trouble in our relationship.”
This was quite a rude statement from Angnis, to say the least. Many people thought he was crazy; this was at a royal banquet. The celebrities who could come here were either rich or noble. Who would dare to offend just anyone?
But this man dared to do so; he almost compared those women who accosted him to a group of wanton woman!
The people in the room burst into an uproar, and suddenly, a clear voice rang out, “She’s not worthy of being your wife!”
The crowd’s gaze followed the voice and recognized who the speaker was at first, “Princess Josephine!”
The crowd automatically made a path for her.
Josephine stood in front of Angnis. “I wonder if I have the qualifications to invite Sir to drink a cup of wine with me.”
Josephine …… He Xiangchen’s gaze was slightly narrowed; he had done quite a bit of homework before coming, and among them was this Princess Josephine. She was the youngest daughter of the king of the planet Dimera, favored by all, and had been domineering and arbitrary since she was a child.
They devised a series of plans, among which was one for Angnis to seduce Josephine. To get a confession from the king, they had to control him first.
Josephine was a good breaking point.
Just when He Xiangchen thought that Angnis would act according to the plan, he heard him say unflinchingly, “I’m sorry, I have no interest in anyone other than my wife.”
“You!” Josephine obviously didn’t expect Angnis to reject her. “Do you know who I am? As long as I give the order, you will be expelled from the Imperial Star immediately!”
“Really, then be my guest.”
There was a smile on the corner of Angnis’s mouth, but the smile didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes. Those dark as ink eyes were as deep as an abyss, and they were also even more entrancing.
Josephine had never seen such a man; he dared to reject her, yet he left her wanting. No, she couldn’t drive him away; she had to conquer him and make him her man!
“I said, She’s not worthy of being your wife!” Josephine pointed at He Xiangchen, “I’m going to compete with her, and only the winner is qualified to be with you!”
He Xiangchen: “……” He didn’t want to take part in this kind of childish competition at all. As for Angnis, whoever got him could take him as a free gift.
Angnis didn’t miss He Xiangchen’s indifferent look, his eyes narrowed slightly and suddenly answered, “Okay!”
He Xiangchen looked at him like he had seen a ghost!
“But Princess Josephine, my wife can sing and dance well. Do you really want to compete with her?”
“Of course!” Josephine was determined to win against Angnis, “Comparing songs and dances is too petty; let’s compare who is better at piloting a mecha in battle!”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!
Who didn’t know that Josephine was a rare mecha genius? Her hand speed was extremely fast, and with the latter day’s exercise, she was currently a three-star mecha warrior. And there were less than ten four-star mecha fighters on the entire planet Dimera.
This was simply a bet without any suspense!
“Josephine is also too much; knowing that she can’t compare herself to others elsewhere, she uses her own strengths. How shameless.”
“Keep your voice down; don’t let her hear you, or you’ll be in for it!”
Josephine was totally unaware of any impropriety in her behavior; even if she knew that someone was talking about her, she wouldn’t have any qualms about it. In her opinion, as long as it was what she wanted, she would get it by any means necessary.
She stared coldly at He Xiangchen, “How about it? Do you dare?”
Before He Xiangchen could say anything, Angnis made the decision for him, “Fine, but since it’s a competition, someone should judge the winner.”
“My father, the emperor, will do it, I think there is no one more fair than him, right?”
……
The good old banquet suddenly turned into a mecha battle, which was undoubtedly a huge joke to those who came to the banquet.
But no one dared to raise any objections, because even the emperor agreed with the joke and came to the royal training ground to referee both sides.
“Although the process was a bit convoluted and bizarre, it seems that we’re close to reaching our goal.” He Xiangchen stared closely at Angnis; he always felt that this guy had already thought of doing this but just didn’t discuss it with him.
Angnis smiled curtly: “The process isn’t important, as long as the result is good.”
“I hope so.”
He Xiangchen gave him a look full of deep meaning, then walked forward and entered the cockpit of the mecha. Once inside, He Xiangchen realized that his mecha had been tampered with.
“The processing system is the GT700 that was eliminated a long time ago; the conduction speed of this system is ten times slower than the systems currently used on the market.” 009 said worriedly.
“That’s to be expected.”
He Xiangchen gently pressed a few keys, and the mecha slowly made a few awkward movements. Through the display, he could clearly see the audience laughing out loud and the red mecha belonging to Josephine rushing towards him.
He laughed softly, ”I don’t really want to bully a little girl anyway, so this is a fair match. Didn’t you say that the reaction speed is ten times slower? Then wouldn’t it be fine if my hand speed is ten times faster than hers?”
Angnis sat in the audience seat, his blazing gaze not leaving He Xiangchen’s mecha for an instant. He enjoyed every second of gazing at He Xiangchen like this; it was far more beautiful than those moments that he couldn’t hope for.
“Your Excellency, your wife really doesn’t seem to know how to pilot a mecha; I’m afraid she’s not even as good as a beginner at this operation!”
The audience sitting beside him looked at him with pity; they could all see that the man loved his wife deeply. Perhaps words could lie, but not the eyes.
The corners of Angnis’s mouth lifted in a pleasant and confident arc. “She will not lose.”
As if to corroborate Angnis’ words, on the training ground, the slow-moving He Xiangchen dodged a compression cannon from Josephine and suddenly slid and shoved behind her in a lightning-fast manner.
The mecha’s right arm popped out a light blade and slashed at the red mecha without mercy. He wandered around the red mecha, leaving a wound on it with every attack. People could no longer predict the trajectory of his travels; they were completely shocked by the magnificent dance of this black mecha!
“This isn’t fighting; this is simply dancing!”
Some people lost their calm and shouted, while others cheered to their hearts’ content. Until finally, He Xiangchen split the last pivot on the red mecha, and all the parts on the red mecha came off and fell off in an instant, looking like a red waterfall that was all over the place.
The spectators looked straight at them, and it was quiet for a full five seconds before warm applause erupted on the field!
There was no shortage of mecha warriors among them, so they could naturally see what level of attainment He Xiangchen had reached in the rack! The hardest part wasn’t defeating Josephine but how to control the force so that the mecha shell would fall apart in the last split second.
Divine, this was the only word that could describe the abilities displayed by He Xiangchen!
Josephine crawled out of the cockpit in a disheveled manner, watching as the dazzling He Xiangchen approached her calmly.
She raised her head, her eyes full of fear. “How?”
Obviously, in order to win, she had swapped out the pilot system of the other mecha and adjusted the energy level of the Light Blade to the lowest possible level. She even transformed the exterior of this mecha of hers into the most common model, but inside it was a finished product of the highest level of technology on the planet Dimera.
She had done so much, and she had thought that she would win, but she was still defeated.
He Xiangchen lowered his head to look at her, no sadness or joy in his eyes. “When you are as powerful as me, you will know why.”
Powerful…?
Josephine watched He Xiangchen drift away, and she suddenly woke up to the fact that if she weren’t a royal princess, she wouldn’t even be qualified to fight against this person.
Their gap was like a heavenly rift.
