Qiao You's first live stream ended with the collapse of the StarNet, and the news of Helian Jue's serious injury spread once again.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured? No wonder General Shen Yangxin was in command of the last battle against the space pirates in the Heliocentric Space."

"But Your Highness already has a spirit pet, doesn't he?"

“Upstairs, Your Highness has only had a spirit pet for a little over a month. As a former soldier of the Empire, I can attest that damage to one’s mental strength is not so easy to heal.”

“Agreed. If this is the case for ordinary people like us, then it must be even more difficult for His Highness, the first prince in the history of the empire with 3S-level mental strength.”

"No wonder His Highness exuded a sense of tranquility during the last live broadcast."

...

That's how online discussions go; they quickly veer off-topic, eventually turning into talk of His Highness the Crown Prince's impending death...

Qiao You was playing with his personal computer in the seashell bed. He had become quite proficient with it in the past few days, thanks in large part to Helian Jue's careful instruction.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince... is not long for this world?" Qiao You muttered. He recognized the words, but he didn't quite understand why they were put together.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is named Helian Jue, and his handsome servant is said to be nearing death..."

"So the handsome servant is going to die?"

Qiao You sat up abruptly from the seashell bed, accidentally bumping his head on the small octopus hanging above it.

No, Helian Jue's mental state is clearly improving.

Qiao You couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask Helian Jue properly when he returned.

Helian Jue was going to lead his fleet to patrol near the capital star today, which would take about a whole day. He originally planned to take Qiao You with him. Just as they were about to set off, Lin Zhong came to report that this trip would not be peaceful.

Helian Jue didn't want Xiaoyu to get hurt, so he kept Qiao You behind.

Qiao You didn't insist on coming along; he had important things to do!

Yesterday, while surfing the StarNet, Qiao You discovered that merfolk can also speak, a phenomenon that is quite common in interstellar space.

Therefore, the exceptionally intelligent Prince Qiao You decided that today he would "learn to speak" and give Helian Jue a big surprise.

After playing in the water tank for a while, the housekeeping robot heated up the food that Helian Jue had made for Qiao You. After quickly finishing lunch, Qiao You sat on the top of the housekeeping robot's head and began to look around.

Soon they arrived at Helian Jue and his bedroom. Qiao You boldly jumped down from above and landed on the large bed.

Mmm, that feels good!

After rolling around on the big bed three times, I lay down on Helian Jue's pillow. It smelled of him, and it made me feel at ease.

Qiao You took a deep breath and thought of Helian Jue.

After a brief moment of unease, Qiao You prepared to continue his inspection tour. With light and practiced movements, he landed on the robot's head, tapped the red button, and said, "Let's continue!"

This household robot is all blue, which matches him perfectly. Helian Jue made some simple modifications, and it has become his personal means of transportation. Qiao You named it "Little Blue!"

Xiao Lan remained motionless. Qiao You patted it again, puzzled, but there was still no response.

"What's going on?" Qiao You asked, puzzled. This had never happened before.

No matter how many times Qiao You pressed the button, Xiao Lan didn't react.

Without its own mode of transportation, Qiao You could only hop off, wag its tail, and walk slowly.

It only used its tail to walk less than ten steps. Ugh! So tired! There's still so far!

Helian Jue isn't home today. He should be able to transform into human form and walk using his tail, right? Qiao You thought uncertainly.

"Walking with my tail is just too slow," Qiao You explained.

The next second, a stunningly handsome young man with black hair appeared in the room, completely naked.

Qiao You walked slowly on his own two legs. At first, he was not used to switching from a fish tail to two legs.

After walking a few steps and getting used to it, I started running around the house like a madman.

Helian Jue's bedroom, predominantly black, made Qiao You's fair skin and dreamlike appearance stand out even more.

Qiao You curiously touched everything in the room, showing curiosity about everything.

Now that they had arrived at Helian Jue's desk, Qiao You unceremoniously picked up a pen and began to write and draw. A cute little fish that always blew bubbles appeared on the drawing paper. Just as he was about to color the fish's tail, Qiao You suddenly heard a very light footstep.

who?

Qiao You instantly became alert; his extraordinary hearing was one of the key reasons why the merfolk were able to coexist peacefully with humans in ancient Earth times.

I guess there were about three or four people outside the villa.

It turned out that Xiao Lan couldn't move because they had cut off the signal to the entire villa.

"What is a jade seal?" Qiao You murmured. From the conversation of these four people, he could tell that they were looking for something.

This jade seal is very important to Helian Jue.

Qiao You forced himself to calm down. He first took out his personal computer and checked it. There was indeed no signal, and he could not contact the outside world at all.

The people outside are getting ready to come in.

Qiao You paced anxiously in the bedroom.

The four people were preparing to enter the villa's garden.

"We'll search the bedroom and study, you guys search other places. Be quick, you must leave in twenty minutes," the leader of the four instructed.

"yes."

The four of them divided the tasks and entered the villa, with two of them heading straight into the bedroom.

Qiao You has now reverted to her mermaid form and is hiding in the seashell bed of the water tank.

There was a button in the shell bed that could make the shells close tightly. Qiao You hid inside and sank the shells to the bottom of the tank to create the illusion that there were no fish.

Qiao You kept his eyes fixed on the two people outside. If they found Helian Jue's jade seal, he would definitely rush out and help Helian Jue snatch it back!

The two were seen searching everywhere in cabinets and drawers, with Qiao You watching them intently.

Time ticked by, and the two of them had gained nothing; they were practically ready to tear the whole house down.

"Brother, is it possible that Helian Jue carries this thing with him at all times?"

It's not impossible for the person being questioned to fall silent, but this time, all the effort went unrewarded. How should they explain this?

There are still a few minutes left, "Let's look again."

Qiao You was already praying to all the gods in his heart that he must not be found.

But this time, Lady Luck was not on Qiao You's side.

"Brother, is this it?"

Qiao You's heart jumped into his throat instantly. No, no, no!

"That's it! This is it!"

Qiao You's heart was pounding. He was scared, terrified, but he couldn't back down.
