The capital planet, especially the royal palace's propaganda office, was bombarded with comments from netizens, who demanded that troops be sent to deal with the space pirates and that the matter not be settled so easily.

"I think the Empire has really regressed in recent years. They're slapping people in the face, how can they tolerate it?"

"I wonder if His Highness and Youyou are alright? Auntie is so worried."

"Besides His Highness, doesn't our empire also have General Shenyang? Can't we just lead our troops to teach them a lesson?"

"I'm absolutely furious! It's bad enough that our Crown Prince was ambushed, but the royal family is actually trying to cowardly settle things by burying the hatchet??? Are you kidding me?"

"Can it even work? I'm truly impressed."

...

Qiao You and Helian Jue were living a very comfortable life in the villa.

On the second morning after arriving at the capital planet, Qiao You stretched her long, slender legs out over the edge of the bed and started shouting at the top of her lungs, "Brother!"

"Brother, where are you?"

"Helian Jue!"

Helian Jue was on the phone outside the bedroom when he heard Qiao You's shouts. He quickly told Lin Zhong what was going on and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

"Baby, your big brother is here."

Just after calling out to Helian Jue, her brother came in. Qiao You felt a little guilty, but only a little.

"Brother, help me comb my hair."

Helian Jue turned around to get a comb. The little fish's humanoid hair was short and black, not too complicated. Usually, the little fish would comb it by itself.

But Xiaoyu usually likes to act cute, so I didn't think much of it.

After picking up the comb and turning around, she saw the little fish on the bed and froze on the spot.

The comb in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Little Fish, you..." Helian Jue was stunned for a while before he found his voice. He felt his throat was dry and he was a little thirsty.

Qiao You sat on the bed, touched the long silver-blue hair that reached his waist, looked at Helian Jue, and asked, "Brother, do I look bad like this?"

In Helian Jue's eyes, Xiaoyu's eyes were alluring and extremely seductive.

Compared to her usual short black hair, it was more elegant and alluring, with a touch more aggressiveness.

"Baby, you..."

Qiao You opened her arms to Helian Jue, "Brother, hug me."

I slept for a while on the spaceship yesterday, so I wasn't very sleepy last night. My brother's embrace was warm and comfortable.

The older brother kept touching his hair, seemingly enjoying it, but short hair wasn't as comfortable as long hair. Little Fish's little head was only focused on the four words "my brother is comfortable," which resulted in the silver-blue long-haired boy this morning.

Seeing that Helian Jue hadn't moved, Qiao You pretended to be a little angry.

Helian Jue then realized what was happening, took two steps forward, and hugged Qiao You, "Baby, your hair..."

Qiao You tilted her head up, "My hair has always been like this~"

"Hmm, black hair is more ordinary and less likely to attract attention."

"My mother said that my hair is the most beautiful, but if it is not hidden properly, bad people will find it."

Helian Jue smiled and said, "Baby is right."

If Xiaoyu had been a humanoid with long silver-blue hair from the beginning, he really wouldn't know how to let Xiaoyu move freely on the Zhengyuan warship.

Since their appearance hasn't changed, if the same hairstyle appears, even if the idea of ​​a mermaid transforming into human form is unbelievable, people will still think in that direction.

This does not benefit the safety of the small fish at all.

"Brother, you still haven't told me if I'm pretty or not?" Qiao You was dissatisfied that Helian Jue had ignored his question earlier.

Helian Jue's hand, which was combing Qiao You's hair, paused in mid-air for a few seconds before he said in a gentle and doting tone, "Beautiful!"

Xiaoyu's hair was long and soft, with a glossy sheen. Helian Jue felt deep affection for her, but he had been restraining himself. Now, these words stirred up his feelings.

Then, with a tender and affectionate tone, she said, "In my brother's heart, Little Fish is the most beautiful."

"Little Fish... will always be the one your brother loves the most."

Qiao You rubbed his fingers together where Helian Jue couldn't see. His heart was pounding so fast, like it was about to burst out of his chest.

Helian Jue appeared to be combing Xiaoyu's hair with complete focus, but his heart was far from at peace.

Qiao You's face was flushed, her eyes darting around, and she dared not look up.

However, he was taught from a young age that not responding to others' words is impolite.

“Brother…is also the person Xiaoyu loves the most.” Qiao You answered, mimicking Helian Jue’s sentence structure.

Helian Jue was in a good mood, fortunately he had learned some styles from his grandmother on Yunlai Star.

Ten minutes later, Helian Jue placed the last pearl hairpin on her hair.

"Wow—" Qiao You exclaimed, holding the mirror, "Brother, you're amazing!"

"The little fish is so cute."

Helian Jue watched as Xiaoyu held up the mirror and praised her own beauty, and his heart softened once again.

How can his little fish be so cute?

He is truly blessed.

In the afternoon, while playing with his personal computer, Qiao saw the content on the StarNet trending search list.

Remembering something, he checked the surveillance footage outside the villa and found that there were indeed quite a few people lying in wait, all trying to gather information.

My brother said that they would have to stay in the villa for the next few days.

Qiao You saw that his account backend had many people asking about his recent situation and expressing their concern.

Many IDs are very familiar with him and are his die-hard fans.

Qiao You thought for a moment, then strolled off to find Helian Jue.

study.

"Brother, can I tell everyone that I'm alright?" Qiao You asked.

Helian Jue replied, "Yes, Xiaoyu doesn't have the 'no' option here with her brother."

So Qiao Xiaoyu leaned against her brother's chest and posted a text update on her StarNet account.

Qiao You: My brother and I are both fine, so please don't worry.
