Chapter 38: Breaking Free The shackles that had been tightening on his soul disappeared...
Wei'an's mental thread penetrated into Quentin's mental sea, and all he saw was a ruin that was almost collapsed.
Cracks were everywhere, and the foul black mist of ∞ matter was wriggling like a living thing.
The black fog was like a living vine, taking deep roots and entwining itself in every corner, greedily draining Quentin's remaining vitality.
It was so bad that Wei An couldn't help shaking his head.
It's completely in a spent state. How could it be so bad? Doesn't Quentin stay in the central star field all year round?
The moment the thread of mental power entered, Quentin's body trembled. His mind, which had been occupied by pain for a long time, even felt unfamiliar and even panicked at this gentle power.
"Relax." Wei An's voice was steady, and the lustrous luster of his mental power began to caress the cracks. The intense pain was replaced by relief, and the restless black spots were significantly reduced under the suppression.
Wei An originally planned to appease him directly, but took into consideration Quentin's disastrous mental state.
Wei An had other ideas.
The scattered threads of spiritual power gathered together, no longer repairing aimlessly, and began to explore in Quentin's spiritual sea.
finally,
Wei An seized the opportunity, and the thread of spiritual power condensed into a needle tip suddenly pierced out, directly cutting off the connection between the matter in Quentin's spiritual sea.
“Buzz!”
A silent shock exploded in Quentin's spiritual sea.
What follows is a sense of transparency.
After a long time, Wei An withdrew his mental strength, sweat appearing on his forehead.
Just now, he heard that sound more clearly.
Is it calling "Mother"?
Quentin leaned back in his chair, his face still pale. He opened his eyes, and the deadness in his eyes faded away, with a hint of surprise.
What's going on?
It was no longer the short-lived peace that was like drinking poison to quench thirst, but a feeling of relief.
The shackles that had been tightening on his soul seemed to have disappeared?
Quentin suddenly began to breathe rapidly, and a hint of red appeared on his pale face for the first time. His originally dead and empty eyes burst into an incredibly bright light.
"How does it feel?"
"...Unbelievable." Quentin's voice trembled uncontrollably.
He raised his head, and his beautiful eyes, which had been dead and empty, seemed to be full of life again, as if a dead tree had come back to life in spring.
"I feel... like it's a lot lighter, like it's gone..."
"I just tried to cut off the connection between the matter in your spiritual sea and the outside world." Wei An thought for a moment, choosing his words.
"After severing this connection, if my guess is correct, you shouldn't be affected by it anymore."
"However, the specific effect still depends on the follow-up situation. We will keep in touch."
"By the way, this project is still in the confidentiality stage, so please keep it confidential for now. But once it succeeds in the later stages, it will definitely be popularized."
Quentin was completely shocked and felt a surge of emotion.
He never knew there was such a possibility. He even said that he wanted to popularize it...
After a long silence, he spoke
"Thank you, Lord Vian."
"I'll keep it a secret with my life."
Wei An was frightened by Quentin's serious and persistent words, and waved his hands.
"That's not the case."
Quentin suppressed his excitement and took out a dark silver, ancient badge from his pocket. On the badge, a sword pierced through a gold coin, surrounded by ivy and with smooth edges.
Quentin handed over the badge solemnly.
"Sir Vian, this is a token of the Ducas family. I believe that you and what you are about to do will definitely make this world different."
"This can help you mobilize the resources of the Ducas family. When my father sees this, he will do his best to help you."
"Please accept it."
Wei An looked at the badge, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"It's too expensive, and..."
Quentin interrupted Vian.
"It's nothing compared to the hope you gave me."
Quentin looked at Wei An sincerely, his tone calm but firm.
"It will just gather dust here with me. I... Anyway, please accept it."
"I hope this helps you."
Quentin's firm attitude made Vian swallow his words and take the badge with both hands.
"good."
Quentin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Vian was willing to accept it.
An Nuo stayed by the side for a long time. Seeing that the two seemed to have almost finished talking, he came over with the kitten in his arms.
The kitten jumped out of An Nuo's arms, ran to Vian's feet, and rubbed against Vian's legs. Vian simply picked it up.
An Nuo watched the kitten go straight to Wei An, feeling a little reluctant, but still more worried about his female father, so he pulled Quentin's sleeve and shook it.
"Father, are you feeling better?"
Quentin looked at Anno, smiled, and touched his head.
"The dam is doing well now, and we will be doing well in the future too."
An Nuo looked at the female father in front of him and always felt that something was different, but he couldn't put it into words. However, he was still very happy because of what the female father said, and hugged the female father tightly.
The father and son are very affectionate, and Wei'an and the kitten, well, they are also very affectionate.
After spending time with his female father, An Nuo thought of another question. He turned his head and looked at Wei An, his little face full of anticipation. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Wei An, can Miao Miao come home with me?"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wei An's pupils were shocked.
He has never kept a kitten, not because he doesn't like them, but because he is allergic to cat hair.
It's so hard to not have allergies in this body.
Quentin also fell silent. They were currently still living in Prince Yu's mansion. If they raised a kitten, what if they couldn't take good care of it?
Wei An squatted down and looked An Nuo in the eye, trying to dispel An Nuo's idea.
"It's like this, An Nuo, Meow Meow is injured and needs care. An Nuo is still too young, right? He may not be able to take good care of the kitten."
"Prince Yu's Mansion has many rules, and it's easy for it to get into trouble there."
An Nuo was convinced and nodded vigorously, his voice a little low: "Yes, Xiongfu will beat it to death... Then, can An Nuo go to see Miaomiao in the future?"
"Sure, if I'm not here, I'll have my home robot let you in." Vian promised and looked at Quentin, who nodded in agreement.
The kitten in his arms probably knew that it could go home with him, and it meowed in a soft and sweet voice.
Wei An gently scratched the kitten's chin, and the little guy purred comfortably.
When Wei An returned to the tea party venue with the kitten in his arms, he looked around and noticed a subtle change in the atmosphere.
Kami was standing next to a middle-aged male insect who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a plump body. He was sobbing and saying something, pointing his chubby finger in the direction of Wei An, his eyes full of grievance and resentment.
Okay, I understand.
Seeing Wei'an coming over,
"Father!" Kami cried out in tears when he saw Wei'an coming.
"It was him. He hit my hand with a branch." He stretched out his still red and swollen palm, and his voice was miserable, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Prince Yu sat lazily on a soft chair not far away, surrounded by a group of his fans.
He was playing with an exquisite wine glass in his hand, watching the interesting things in front of him with a sneer on his lips.
Finance Minister Barton looked at Vian with sharp eyes.
Even an A-level male insect cannot beat his children at will. He is the Minister of Finance and the most capable minister of His Majesty the Insect King.
Barton's tone was filled with suppressed anger: "Sir Vian Clement, I think I need an explanation. Why did you beat my son for no reason?"
In an instant, the guests' attention was drawn to it.
A conflict broke out at a tea party hosted by the Insect King. One was an A-level male insect, and the other was the Minister of Finance. It would be wrong to help either of them, so it would be better to just watch the fun.
Wei An, however, looked calm. He gently stroked the kitten in his arms, and the kitten made a comfortable purring sound, which was out of tune with the tense atmosphere at the scene.
"Beating without reason?" Vian raised his eyes, his gaze clear and meeting Lord Barton's.
"Mr. Barton, before you ask me for an explanation, shouldn't you first ask your son, Xiong Zi, what he did to Prince Yu's youngest son, An Nuo?"
"I didn't beat your son, I saved him. This is the Imperial Palace. Prince Yu is the younger brother of His Majesty the Insect Emperor. His child was beaten by your willful and unreasonable child, and you even made him kneel down."
"Do you think this is reasonable?"
His voice was not loud, but it carried clearly throughout the quiet corner.
Everyone was also startled. Yes, even if Prince Yu and his wife had a bad relationship, Annuo was not only Quentin's child, he was also of royal blood.
Lord Barton's expression changed instantly.
Of course he knew that his son was spoiled. It was okay for him to bully civilians or unpopular female insect cubs, but who would have thought that he would dare to beat Prince Yu's child in the palace.
Although Quentin was not favored and Annuo was also not taken seriously, in name, they were still the queen and youngest son of Prince Yu.
"This... Cami, is what he said true?" Lord Barton asked his son sternly, his tone different.
Kami was frightened by his father's sudden change in expression. He stammered, avoided looking, and did not dare to answer.
Wei An didn't give him a chance to get away with it. He continued, "It seems the child is too young and doesn't remember very well. Why don't we ask the other cubs and waiters who were present at the time to come over and question them one by one? Or, perhaps, check the surveillance footage near the botanical garden? I'm sure His Majesty and Prince Yu would also like to know how such bullying of a royal child could happen at a royal tea party."
The smile on Prince Yu's face as he watched the show faded. He put down his wine glass and slowly stood up.
Wei An's words just now had already put him in a difficult position. If he didn't stand up to save his face, he would appear incompetent and cowardly.
"Oh? Is that true?" Prince Yu walked over with great authority. His eyes swept over Cami, who lowered his head and dared not look at him, and then fell on Lord Barton.
There was a chill in his words.
"Barton, your son is really well-educated."
"It turns out that a mere Chancellor of the Exchequer's child can disregard the royal family."
These are very serious words!
Cold sweat broke out on Lord Barton's forehead.
"Prince, please forgive me! I'm usually too busy. He was raised by my queen. If I had known, this would never have happened." Lord Barton quickly bowed and glared at Cami. "Why don't you apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"
Kami was stunned by the aura of his father and Prince Yu. He burst into tears again and apologized incoherently while crying: "I'm sorry... Your Excellency Prince Yu, I was wrong..."
Prince Yu snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied, but he was too lazy to argue with a child.
"Barton, it seems you can't balance work and family. I think we should give you more vacation time so you can spend some time at home teaching your children."
Lord Barton groaned inwardly, knowing that today's matter would not end well.
He looked at the useless Xiongzi with hatred, and was annoyed at Wei'an's meddling and sharp words, but he had to swallow his anger.
"Your Highness has taught me a lesson. I will discipline him strictly after returning! I will give Your Highness and Prince Anno a satisfactory explanation!" Lord Barton gritted his teeth and promised, then forcibly pulled Cami, who was still crying, and hurriedly left the tea party. He looked rather embarrassed.
The sun was warm on the terrace, and the expensive incense masked the smell of medicine.
Bai Ze leaned on the recliner, covered with a blanket. There were some marks on his lower abdomen, and his complexion looked very rosy.
Ronan sat beside him, personally feeding Bai Ze the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, his movements gentle and focused: "Are you really not going to the tea party?"
Bai Ze shook his head, his lips slightly curved: "There are too many people, I don't want to go."
Ronan pinched Bai Ze's nose and said lovingly, "Okay, whatever you want. I thought you wanted to go out for a walk."
"When the time comes, just accompany me for a walk."
Ronan pinned a deep-sea pearl brooch on Bai Ze that was newly donated from another star field.
The luster of the pearls matched the whiteness very well, and Ronan's eyes flashed with admiration.
"Thank you, my lord." Bai Ze lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and brushed the cold pearls with his fingertips.
The sunlight cast a light golden halo on him, like a perfect portrait.
