Chapter 63

The scene suddenly became chaotic after Prince Janus' scream.

Some were gasping and screaming, and there was even one person who was so excited that she pinched her best friend next to her and turned her into a screaming chicken.

Prince Janus, however, continued to pursue Admiral Otas. Admiral Otas's skills made it impossible for Prince Janus to catch him. After dodging several waves of attacks, he even raised the corner of his mouth and taunted Prince Janus.

"Your Highness, when Wangxing and I met, you were still in middle school. You don't have to be angry about something that happened so long ago, right? Or are you still stuck in the kindergarten stage where my friends can't play with others?"

Admiral Otas' words were met with an angry retort from Prince Janus: "You bastard, you don't understand the relationship between me and Brother Ye at all!"

Now when the people around saw that there was a melon to eat, their eyes suddenly lit up.

but……

In such a chaotic scene, Warden felt that as the host of the entire banquet, he needed to step forward and maintain order.

"Hey, what's the point of him coming? Didn't these two still fight?"

Worden thought in his mind as he took a deep breath and scolded the guests.

But after shouting a few times and the guests at the banquet ignored him, Warden looked at his uncle who was about to rush up to hit someone, gritted his teeth and decided to control the source of the chaos first.

So, in full view of everyone, Prince Woden rushed between Prince Janus and Admiral Otas.

It just happened to interrupt what the two were about to say.

So, under the angry gazes of the onlookers, Woden scolded Prince Janus with a serious face.

"Enough, uncle! Stop! You are tarnishing the image of our royal family. I now order you to stop immediately, you——"

However, before Warden could finish his righteous words, the angry Janus picked him up from the spot like a chicken.

...and threw it into the swimming pool next to him.

Elina and Martha watched helplessly as Woden's next words turned into gurgling bubbles: "..."

"So is it that Prince Janus is strong or is Warden too weak?" Elina asked with a twitching mouth.

Martha covered her eyes and said, "It's probably a combination of both. But even if we throw him into the water, it's probably useless. Woden is four or five years older than Prince Janus. He's still in his prime, but he doesn't even have the ability to resist..."

Your Majesty will definitely not cause trouble for his younger brother whom he raised as his own son just for such a weak son.

Elena nodded and was about to say that she felt the same way, but the change in the situation at the scene directly attracted Elena's attention.

Not even anyone else present was paying attention to their Crown Prince.

——There is a rescue drone in the swimming pool to ensure that there is no danger to life, so there is no need to worry too much.

Even Ye Bai immediately shifted his gaze after seeing the rescue drone coming to Warden.

Warden: ...

Warden watched helplessly as even Ye Bai shifted his gaze. Now everyone ignored him, the host of the banquet, who should have been the center of everyone's attention!

"...As expected, Janus is really after the throne, otherwise he wouldn't be targeting me like this!"

Warden sneered in his heart.

He had clearly made an effort to mediate, and as a member of the royal family, he should have given him face. But what actually happened? Janus actually threw him aside, and in such a humiliating way, threw him directly into the water.

He didn't know why at first, but now it seems that Janus might want to ruin his reputation in front of everyone under the pretext of embarrassing him.

But unfortunately, compared to him being thrown into the water for trying to stop a fight, Janus's jealousy over a man was more of a disgrace to the royal family.

The more Woden thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He picked up the towel on the ground where the rescue robot lay, wiped the water off his face, and raised his head to give Janus a few more wise words of advice.

But when he looked up, what he saw was not Janus angrily chasing after Admiral Otas and beating him.

——But it was the scene where Janus was hugged around the waist by Ye Bai’s brother.

Although Ye Bai's brother was definitely older than Janus, he was a size smaller than Janus and did not look like someone who could hold Janus back.

This was indeed the case. When Janus was hugged by the young man behind him, he subconsciously slowed down his strength. It seemed that he was still trying to move forward, but none of his muscles were exerting any force.

"Janus, calm down for a moment."

The young man seemed to feel that the boy in front of him had relaxed his strength. He immediately pulled the boy's arms and turned in front of him, standing between him and Otas and said.

"Otas and I are friends. He has helped me a lot before. That's just his nature. He was just joking with me this time. I wasn't bullied by him. Don't worry, okay?"

The young man treated Prince Janus like a child, and even raised his voice at the end.

Admiral Otas behind him seemed to realize that he had gone a bit too far, so he just moved his lips and said nothing more.

He just looked at Prince Janus with some surprise.

"...Brother Ye, are you stopping me for him?"

When Ye Bai heard the aggrieved voice, he looked up and took a deep breath.

What was that glitter in Prince Janus's eyes?

——Could it be tears?

Prince Janus' voice sounded like a kicked puppy, aggrieved and whimpering. Although he did not explicitly whimper, everyone present had auditory hallucinations.

Obviously, the young man was also shocked by Prince Janus's performance. He stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses. He could only hear the young man with glacier-colored eyes shouting at him aggrievedly.

"Brother Ye, do you think that old man is older than me, so you subconsciously stand on his side?"

As the young man spoke, tears glistened in his glacial-colored eyes. He was clearly extremely aggrieved, yet he still forced himself to look fierce.

"—I'm only nineteen! I'm sure I'll have what he has in the future! You can't be partial to him for this reason!"

The young man seemed to be mesmerized by the boy's face, but also seemed to think what he said made sense. In short, the young man nodded subconsciously.

…Elina and Martha watched as a vein popped up on Admiral Otas’ forehead.

"Why do I feel like I've heard this somewhere before..."

Seeing Admiral Otas about to walk up to the two of them, Elina whispered to Martha.

Seeing that World War II was about to break out, Martha took out her computer and clicked on it quickly, calling up the palace drama she watched last night and placed it directly in front of Elena.

The emperor's cousin who had just entered the palace whispered softly in the imperial concubine's ear.

"...Sister, I said it two years ago, whatever you have, I will have too."

Elina: "...I didn't expect it to be a real palace intrigue scenario. So who won in the end? The imperial concubine or the cousin?"

Martha said calmly, "I don't know why it hasn't been updated to the finale yet—and the queen, who was born a merchant, and the general's daughter haven't entered the palace yet."

Elina was silent.

"...Isn't this screenwriter really adapting the script based on reality?"

Ye Wangxing didn't know that Elena, Martha and others were already worried about the safety of the screenwriter of the palace fighting drama.

He was lying exhausted on the sofa in the system space, questioning where Yijiu had learned those tricks.

[…Yijiu, what on earth did you see? Could it be that the database I bought you earlier has been contaminated?]

Ye Wangxing said with great concern. In his opinion, the system Yijiu, which came from the war zone, was not much different from Pure White Jasmine in terms of human relations. Now it had actually learned this kind of brothel style. Either there was a problem with Yijiu's database, or someone was leading him astray!

...Then Ye Wangxing began to sweat profusely.

In the past few years, Yijiu has never been with anyone else except him. Ye Wangxing also doesn't believe that Yiqi could have led Yijiu astray to this extent in just a few days.

After ruling out other candidates, the culprit is obvious.

"Wan La! Your head is full of melodramatic scripts. This really has led Yijiu astray!"

Ye Wangxing felt a surge of guilt in his heart, while Yijiu calmly watched as his host's emotion monitor sounded the alarm. His CPU worked a little, and he knew that his host probably felt that he had led him astray, which was quite comforting.

[Host, the operation just now was the result of running the previously installed database. Although it was a bit beyond your expected scenario, it actually worked quite well.]

Yijiu said calmly: "Host, you don't need to feel guilty about this and think that you led me astray. In fact, for the system, there is no such thing as being led astray by anyone. These are just databases."

We don’t have emotions in ourselves.

Yijiu's words made Ye Wangxing feel relieved at first, but when he heard Yijiu's last sentence clearly, Ye Wangxing's heart skipped a beat.

「Ah...I don't have any emotions myself.」

Ye Wangxing said in a slightly depressed mood.

He still thought that there was affection between him and Yijiu.

But think about it, Yijiu itself is a silicon-based creature, and all its emotions are generated by the emotion simulation module.

This is similar to how the various endocrine substances in the human body can make the body feel happy or sad.

He is a bit too stubborn.

Ye Wangxing tried hard to comfort himself, and when he thought it was about time, he looked up and saw Yijiu rarely looking away from his face, which was a sign of panic.

[…Host, it's not just the emotional simulation system that causes us to react; our CPU itself also causes us to have emotions.]

Yijiu's voice remained calm, but Ye Wangxing always felt that there was a hint of panic in Yijiu's voice. He didn't know if it was his illusion.

[…But this function system itself cannot be activated. It will only be activated when encountering a major emotional situation.]

Ye Wangxing looked at Yijiu for a long time before he realized that Yijiu was explaining to him.

The system itself does not have the function of producing emotions, but it does now.

Is this feature enabled now?

Ye Wangxing raised his eyes and asked with a smile, while Yijiu regained his calm look and nodded.

[Yes, host, the function has been enabled. ]

Yijiu paused for a moment before speaking seriously.

[We will be each other's most important partners in the days to come.]

Ye Wangxing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly, saying: [Of course!]

After this wave of emotions passed, Ye Wangxing finally returned to the mission and began to talk about the mission seriously with Yijiu.

[…The fact that the number of side quests went from four to six was quite significant, stretching the battle lines. I also feel like the fate of this world has been cleverer. Originally, the plot at this banquet should have taken place at the palace banquet.]

Ye Wangxing said, holding his chin.

Although it is unknown why someone would frame someone else at a royal banquet, this location further highlights Ye Bai's humiliation after being humiliated.

But now, after they changed part of the plot, Ye Bai's original humiliation was also brought forward by several weeks.

But when he thought of Ye Bai's love-brained Ye Wangxing, he began to have a headache.

This person's love brain is completely different from the previous ones. Based on the contact in the past few days, Ye Bai really likes Woden.

Ye Wangxing had previously asked Yijiu to control an account with him, intending to help Ye Bai try and replace him with another person who could humiliate him and pua him.

But unfortunately it failed.

Ye Bai seemed to have set his sights on Warden.

[After all, the host's difficulty has increased, and the control of the fate line will also be strengthened. Without a strong stimulus, it seems that the protagonist will not be able to wake up this time.]

Yijiu added calmly.

[Furthermore, the protagonist's fate line perfectly matches his personality, which is why he still holds onto Warden.]

Ye Wangxing held his forehead and sighed deeply, finally accepting his fate and saying, "When the time comes, pay some attention to him. As long as we don't let the Ye family end up like they did, attracting attention is the most important thing."

Yijiu also nodded and began to talk about the next mission.

After discussing the next script with Yijiu, Ye Wangxing suddenly thought of a question and asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, Yijiu, when you played Prince Janus before, how could you act so naturally? You really looked like a wronged puppy."

Ye Wangxing didn't feel comfortable asking about Admiral Otas.

In fact, the moment his hand pressed down, his whole body exploded and screamed in his heart, and the feeling made him blush on the spot.

Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing subconsciously glanced at Yijiu.

"They look similar to the pair Admiral Otas had—I was thinking, 'Stop!' This is so disgusting!"

Ye Wangxing almost slapped himself in the face, but Yijiu was still answering Ye Wangxing's questions seriously.

【Because of you, the host. 】

Yijiu's answer left Ye Wangxing a little stunned. He tilted his head and pointed at himself: [Me?]

Yijiu nodded calmly, his face still expressionless, but the words he said were somewhat extraordinary.

The host's roles in previous missions were all very cute, and in human terms, very canine-like. I merely imitated the host's behavior, but unfortunately, I couldn't fully emulate their soul, and they still looked a bit ferocious.

There was a hint of regret in Yijiu's voice as he spoke.

Ye Wangxing: ...

He silently covered his face, which had suddenly turned red and hot for some reason, and spoke slowly.

[…No, this is fine, really.]

Ye Bai didn't know what his elder brother had experienced in that lounge. He only knew that when his elder brother came out of the lounge, his face was as red as if he had been in a sauna.

Corresponding to this are two other people.

When Admiral Otas and Prince Janus walked out of the lounge radiantly, everyone almost thought that they had been replaced.

When they saw the two's little movements in private, they were sure that the two had not been replaced, but had just been appeased.

But now they are even more curious about what the relationship between Ye Wangxing and Admiral Otas and Prince Janus is.

But now they couldn't get an answer to this question and could only leave the banquet with regret.

After they left, gossip about the scene spread to various noble families and became the talk of the party. Ye Wangxing's nickname of "little bumpkin" suddenly disappeared, replaced by the title of "Young Master of the Ye Family," which was rightfully his.

The labels surrounding the eldest son of the Ye family have also changed from being unsophisticated to nicknames such as having a business mind, making a lot of money at one time, and being a strong supporter of poverty alleviation work.

However, as this incident spread, it also caused concerns among other people.

Elina and Martha each took Ye Bai's arm and whispered, "...Did your brother really not contact Lord Semos and Count Uno during this period?"

Ye Bai looked at Warden, who was chatting happily with someone in front of him, and whispered as he walked over, "How could they be connected? My brother is still busy with his platform. The popularity of the small persimmons and wool blankets hasn't died down yet, and he's thinking about finding new opportunities to innovate."

Ye Bai, Elena Marsha and the other two came here this time without other friends because of Warden's invitation.

In fact, Warden only invited Ye Bai, but Elina and Martha did not believe in Ye Bai's brain. In the end, for the sake of their fake friend, they decided to go through fire and water and venture into the dangerous place of Warden.

Of course, they had made all the necessary preparations, including alarms, disposable self-defense devices, and defensive balls. They even brought three oxygen tanks, fearing that Warden might suddenly act out and do something to offend Ye Bai, which would implicate them.

They also prepared one for Ye Bai.

But Alina and Martha were still looking forward to the restaurant they were going to today.

This is the largest underwater restaurant newly built on the capital planet. It is located directly in the ocean and is surrounded by various coral reefs.

In order not to damage the local ecology, the owner of this restaurant almost brought in the entire Environmental Protection Bureau to build defensive facilities. This not only ensures the local ecology but also allows people to see the underwater species unique to this capital planet.

This is completely different from the previous practice of artificially creating a sea and putting some aquatic life in it. After all, the ecology of the capital planet is complex, and they can only fly to other planets to see the unique ecological environment of those planets in the underwater restaurant.

The more Elina thought about it, the more excited she became. This newly built underwater restaurant had not yet been open to the public, and even her mother, the princess, had never been here. Unexpectedly, she had come here first.

She silently clenched her light brain and prepared to enter the underwater restaurant, then find a good view to take photos, videos and holographic images, so that her mother could envy her.

pity……

{Why do we have to wear this! This is so ugly! Why do we have to wear this? Why do we have to go in the water? Can't we just have a normal, ordinary, boring meal in a restaurant?!}

Elina screamed in the team channel so loud that it hurt everyone's ears.

Warden frowned and scolded his startled cousin, "This is to show respect for the guests! Elena, you were the one who insisted on coming here. Don't get mad now."

{Woden, you big idiot! Look who's crazy here! Who would wear a diving suit and have food delivered to them by a waiter for a serious business?}

Elena scolded her cousin without any hesitation.

Warden frowned and tutted as he looked at Martha, trying to get his cousin's best friend to correct her behavior.

But this time, Martha did not stop Elena's bad temper, but stood silently beside Elena to express her approval.

——After all, Warden was really like a lunatic this time, insisting on wearing a diving suit and sitting next to the coral reef.

Then let the unmanned robot carry the dishes covered by the diving mask, and then connect the feeding tube to let the unmanned waiter deliver the food to the person's mouth.

It is said that this service is to allow men and women to experience the feeling of dining in the ecological nature.

However, for the sake of the ecological environment, they cannot touch the coral reefs and fish, and have to wear heavy diving suits to prevent fish attacks.

Therefore, this project of taking off pants and exposing one's butt is not favored by the public. A large number of diving restaurants have suffered losses from this. The boss originally just put this project up to let others know that they have this service. Who knows, there might be some suckers willing to try it.

——Then Warden, the sucker, came and brought his clients to try it together.

{What do you know? You little brat who's never done business before. This client has seen all sorts of people, but he's definitely never seen my style of doing business. Who knows, he might just be so surprised he'll sign the deal.}

With his chin held high, Worden swam towards the designated location carrying the heavy diving equipment.

Elena and Martha were taken swimming together by the unattended waiter. They looked very unhappy, and even Ye Bai was speechless.

When they arrived at the designated location, the customers, Warden's assistant and technicians were already waiting at the table with stiff faces. An unattended waiter was busy at the table, helping them connect tubes, which looked like some kind of life support device.

However, Warden didn't notice the customer's ugly look and went straight up to start chatting with the customer.

but……

"Why is Warden acting like he's the first party? He's clearly the second party. He's not even saying he's praising the other party, so why is he letting the other party praising him?"

Elina switched the optical brain to mind control mode and sent a message to Martha.

Martha also found it difficult to understand, but thinking about Woden's original character, she finally summed it up in one sentence.

'Hasn't he been like this before?'

Elina nodded in agreement, but when she looked up, she felt a little bored and immediately prepared to pull Martha and Ye Bai to explore the restaurant.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about encountering any problems as long as there is an unmanned robot to guide you.

Ye Bai looked at Warden who was chatting happily with a client, then looked at Elena and Martha's hands, and finally decided to go and accompany his friends.

Elina and Martha were touched, thinking that he had finally regained some clarity of mind, but...

{If Warden needs me anywhere, please let me know in the team chat.}

Looking at Ye Bai who did not forget to instruct Woden before leaving, Elina rolled her eyes and forcibly dragged Ye Bai away.

And Warden waved his hands impatiently, as if he didn't need him at all.

Ye Bai sighed helplessly, restrained his behavior, and began to concentrate on accompanying Elena and Martha to visit this sea area.

They only walked along the edge of the restaurant, planning to choose a direction to explore the sea after walking around the edge of the restaurant.

Elina kept complaining in the three-person channel about Woden's stupid behavior, which caused her to be able to come here wearing a light diving suit, but now she could only explore the sea wearing such bulky and ugly equipment.

{…My mom would die of laughter! I never even considered something this ugly!}

Elina complained in the team chat.

Just as they were stepping on the eaves of an arc-shaped box, the lights of the same box in front of them lit up, making them pause.

They were just about to go around here or turn back, after all, they didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but the person who appeared in the box made the three of them stop in their tracks.

Martha quickly instructed the computer to start lip translation.

The two people the light brain was targeting were Lord Semos and Ye Wangxing.

In the box, Lord Semos was speaking excitedly, but Ye Wangxing said nothing - seemed a little embarrassed?

Soon the optical brain displayed the translation results.

"…Are you agreeing to break up with me because you were in a previous relationship and thought I'd discovered it?"

The cat-eyed man spoke to the young man in shock and grievance.

"——I just wanted you to comfort me at that time! Who do you think I am?!"
