Shu Xubai shook the papers in his hand, making a rustling sound, deliberately attracting attention, teasing, and seducing people. It was hard for Agares not to notice, and once he did, he couldn't take his eyes off them.

Shu Xubai's lips curled into a sarcastic smile as he opened his mouth and called out again, "Marshal Agares, did you hear me?"

Agares tried to look away, but finding it futile, he stopped and instead showed Shuxubai that he had heard him.

The ship continued to sail at full speed. Under Agares's manual control, the ship's speed was lowered to the lowest possible level, and stealth mode was activated.

Those sitting inside the ship cannot feel its speed, but the speed is clearly and distinctly displayed on the instruments.

Shu Xubai raised his eyebrows, stopped shaking the paper in his hand, and smiled sinisterly and slyly: "Marshal Agares, although your country has 10 major star systems and a few waste star systems, and 3 billion citizens, to be honest, it's not anything valuable. I really haven't taken a liking to it."

The paper stopped shaking, and Agares could clearly see the children's 3D photos. The children's eyes were closed, their little fists were clenched tightly, and their little arms and legs were clearly printed.

“I know!” Agares stared at the photo and replied to Shu Xubai: “You and Jiang Jiang have lived for thousands of years, experienced the vicissitudes of life, the glory and the fall. In your eyes, no matter how much prosperity there is, it is nothing but fleeting clouds.”

The Spirit Eye said that he and his young wife were separated by more than 5,000 years.

Having witnessed over 5,000 years of scenery, she is immortal and ageless. All the prosperity, wealth, status, and power are like fleeting clouds to her.

Shu Xubai sighed, "Oh dear, knowing that she and I have lived for thousands of years, didn't you ever think of taking us to a lab, dissecting us, and searching for some kind of immortality like the Phoenix Clan?"

Agares looked away from the photo and turned to Shu Xubai, saying solemnly, "Your Excellency Shu Xubai, I admit that in the beginning, I did not favor my wife."

“In my subconscious, she is very capable, strong, and powerful. Therefore, I place her on an equal footing with me, without any favoritism.”

"Although I didn't know who the first expectant mother in the Abel Galaxy who conceived naturally more than 200 years ago was, I told her to find that expectant mother who conceived naturally, give her the best treatment and the best examination, and find the secret of natural conception from her."

“But I never thought about studying my wife. Even though I didn’t have any special affection for her at the beginning, and I didn’t spoil her excessively, I never thought about putting her in the lab for research.”

"Even after I found out she was the expectant mother, I never thought about it. I felt more guilty and heartbroken. I only realized after losing her that I could be hypocritical and biased, and that I could only love her!"

Yes, everyone says he is the most upright marshal in the Abel Galaxy.

Only he himself knew that in front of Jiang Jiang, he could be free of integrity, seriousness, ruthlessness, and adherence to imperial laws.

These past few days, he has come to understand the teacher's favoritism towards His Majesty, and His Majesty's favoritism towards him.

His teacher was not from the Troia Empire, nor did he become his teacher simply because he was a prince of the Troia Empire, devoting himself entirely to his teaching. Rather, it was because of His Majesty that he extended his affection to the emperor.

Without His Majesty, the Troia Empire, he, and everything else, would be nothing but dust in his teacher's eyes, not worthy of his attention.

So he also understood that if you like, love, and care about someone, you should give her the most security and the most unrestrained affection.

Upon hearing this, Shu Xubai curled his lip and said, "It sounds nicer than it sounds, but the things you actually do are inhuman."

Agares lowered his head slightly: "Lord Shu Xubai is right, I was wrong!"

Shu Xubai: "..."

Well, he's admitting his mistake so readily and sincerely, he should feel embarrassed.

p!

How could an elegant, aloof, and wicked vampire be embarrassed?

Illusion, illusion, illusion, it's all a damn illusion.

With a "smack!" Shu Xubai slammed the blueprint with the two boys' photos on it in front of him and said condescendingly, "Since you're doing a decent job as a tool, this is yours."

Agares, who had been glued to the picture, now had it right in front of him. Instead of looking at it, he asked Shu Xubai, "The book says that expectant mothers who give birth to twins have it harder with a single pregnancy. How is Jiang Jiang's health? As the babies grow, are there any dangers for her?"

Shu Xu rolled his eyes, then asked mischievously, "What would you do if she were in danger?"

Agares didn't hesitate: "No children!"

As someone who was about to become a father, Shu Xubai felt uncomfortable hearing this answer, but it was indeed the case for him.

Children are certainly important to him.

But compared to the child, the stinky zombie is the most important.

If the child threatens her life, he can kill the child himself, ensuring that the stinking zombie is not in any danger, not even if it is her own child.

Shu Xubai continued mischievously, "If you don't have children, your family's empire will have no one to inherit it."

Agares said, "From the day I registered my marriage with her, my fertility value was 0, and I was destined to have no children."

"Therefore, I have never dared to hope that my child would be the heir to the empire, nor is it ever my child's turn!"

Shu Xubai clicked his tongue: "Alright, by the way, I'll tell you something."

Agares' gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Shu Xubai: "What?"

Shu Xubai turned on his personal computer and turned the volume up to the maximum. Heartbeats, more than one heartbeat, came from his personal computer.

Agares's eyes darkened, and he hesitated before saying, "This..."

Shu Xu pressed a button on the personal terminal, stopping the heartbeat sound, and said like a bad seed, "Yes, that's right, that's Jiang Jiang's and the two kids' heartbeats!"

Agares' eyes gleamed: "Lord Shu Xubai, I have a favor to ask..."

Shu Xu raised his hand and took a step back to stop him from speaking: "Since you know it's an unreasonable request, then don't say it. Even if you say it, I won't give it to you. I was just teasing you."

"You hurt the person I care about most, and almost killed the person I care about most. I will never forgive you for this, never."

"Just be a good tool for us, drive the boat, and maybe one day when I'm in a good mood I'll give it to you, but don't even think about it now."

“It is Your Excellency!” Agares slowly clenched his fist, his fingers forming a tight arc. “I still want to thank Your Excellency for letting me see them and hear their hearts…”

"Don't thank me!" Shu Xubai interrupted him again, starting to trick the tool Agares: "Although Jiang Jiang is not in danger now and the child is healthy, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger in the future. Here, take a look at this. You can do it on it whenever you have nothing to do!"

As he spoke, Shu Xubai took out a piece of paper about the size of an A4 sheet of paper from his own space. The paper was covered with writing on both sides, and he slapped the paper into Agares's arms.

Agares caught it with his hands.

Shu Xubai turned and leisurely left.

After watching him leave, Agares looked at the paper, which contained instructions for pregnant women and precautions. The instructions were simple and clear, and even more detailed than what he had found and copied.

Agares read every word carefully, memorizing it all, then folded the paper and tucked it into his notebook.

He then picked up the picture of the two children and looked at it for a long time. He opened his personal terminal, took a picture, and, unable to contain his excitement, sent it to His Majesty.

While handling official business at the Troia Empire's palace, Leilos, who was giving Bo Jichen something to do, heard his personal terminal buzz. He stopped what he was doing, opened his personal terminal, and saw that it was Agares.

He was overjoyed and quickly opened the information bar. He saw clear pictures of the two children. His pupils constricted, and he stood up abruptly, staring at the pictures. The blood ties and the deep-seated affection made his blood boil when he saw the pictures.

He then dialed Agares' communication, but the ship carrying Agares and his crew had left the Abel system, and interference from various cosmic energies prevented him from making the call.

Leilos tried calling several times but couldn't get through. He then resorted to sending a message, his fingertips trembling slightly with excitement as he typed: "Agares, is it going to affect Jiang Jiang that the child is so big? Is she in any danger?"

“Agares, I command you by the Emperor of the Troia Empire: if a child threatens her life, then do not have the child. Her life is the highest priority.”

After sending the message, Leilos stared at the picture for a long time, then printed it out, put it in a frame, and placed it on his desk.

On his desk were two other photo frames, one of him, Bo Jichen, and Agares, and the other of Agares and Jiang Si...

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Si's six-and-a-half-month belly became even rounder. She strolled on the ship with the now-adult tree and the companion spirit.

As she strolled along, she felt that the past few days had been somewhat subtle. For example, not only was she being waited on hand and foot, but her assistant, Agares, was also adept at feeding her eight small meals a day, each with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

All of the above are minor matters. The most important thing is that every day after she takes a bath and goes to bed, her assistant Agares will bring her a basin of hot water to soak her feet and massage her legs. After she goes to bed, he will also massage her waist and head.

She only had a slight backache, but her legs and feet weren't swollen. She had a good appetite and could even banter and fight with the dying Ling Hong.

"Kill me!" Ling Hong, whose neck was held by Yan Liu, was no longer naked. She was wearing a loose t-shirt and shorts, barefoot, with a pale face and sunken eyes. She looked completely drained of her energy and blood.

Jiang Si lifted her eyelids and looked at Ling Hong, who was standing in front of her, interrupting her thoughts and wanting to die. She said earnestly, "Ling Hong, what are you doing? As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. You've only lived for a little over 2,000 years. That's not enough for you. Why are you looking for death?"

Ling Hong's spiritual power was suppressed by the willow branch around her neck, preventing her from transforming back into a tree and unleashing her spiritual power. Now, her strength was less than that of an ordinary person.

Even so, it didn't stop him from jumping up, pointing his finger at Jiang Si's nose and saying, "You stinky zombie, don't talk like that without understanding the situation."

"What do you mean by 'better to live a miserable life than die a good death'? Someone like me, with 14 out of 16 days I have to supply the Spirit Eye with spiritual energy and blood, what's the point of living? I might as well be dead!"

Jiang Si looked at the little sapling bouncing around in front of her with disgust and took a step back: "Look at what you're saying, child. You were born of the Spirit Eye and grew up with the Spirit Eye. If you want to die, wait until you return all the nutrients you absorbed from him before you die. No one will stop you!"

Ling Hong's sunken eyes almost popped out: "What do you mean I was born of him and grew up with him? You're making it sound like he's my father!"

Jiang Si exclaimed, "Hey, you know what? Theoretically, it's true. You grew from his tree roots and split off from his body. You're definitely his son."

"Shut up! Who's his son? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap you across the face!" Ling Hong threatened, her anger barely contained, "Can't you speak properly? Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, go look at those companion spirits."

"Son? Son my ass! If I had a father like him, I would have smashed my head against this ship and died."

Jiang Si was infuriating. "Oh, you said it. Just wait."

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and the willow branch around Ling Hong's neck disappeared.

Jiang Si snapped her fingers and pointed at the solid ship wall: "Come on, let's start the demonstration. I'd like to see you crash headfirst into this ship and die!"

Ling Hong's eyes widened like eggs: "You're crazy!"

"You're right, I am a lunatic, and I haven't taken my medication yet!" Jiang Si flung her hand back, and the willow branch looped around his neck again. With a forceful tug, she pulled Ling Hong back: "Weren't you going to bang your head against the wall and die? Why are you running?"

Ling Hong didn't want to die; he just wanted freedom. He finally got free, but less than three seconds later, he was caught again. What a damn bad luck.

Ling Hong angrily lay down on the ground, crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, and ignored everyone, pretending to be dead!

Ginger shreds: "!!!!"

She looked at the corpse on the ground.

This shameless attitude feels familiar, like something out of a novel, reminiscent of Shu Xubai.

Yes, just like him.

Yes, she has Shu Xubai's blood in her body; the Spirit Eye has drunk her blood.

Just as Shu Xubai said, those trees and those companion spirits are all their children, so... Ling Hong is so shameless, just like his cheap father, Shu Xubai.

As the saying goes, if a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. The father's fault is all Lao Bai's fault, and it has nothing to do with her. She will find Lao Bai to teach him a lesson later.

Jiang Si nodded. It was all Lao Bai's fault. She wouldn't bother arguing with this tree that was pretending to be dead. She continued her walk and her lazy life.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Si saw Agares as soon as she came out of the shower.

As usual, she sat down on the sofa and put her feet into the hot water tub.

Agares was squatting in front of the hot water tub, and before she could even dip her hands into the tub to massage her feet, she heard the voice of the artificial intelligence 520: "Master, Master, 520 has detected a spaceship of similar size to ours, two hours' flight distance away, on the same flight path, approaching us, approaching us!"
