No one spoke in the command cabin. The communicator responded. There was a long silence before Chi Yao's voice followed.

"We have already left the planet. Let Ye Jun adjust the defense focus accordingly."

"The rest is up to Shi Xing."

After these two sentences, the communicator was suddenly shocked. Shi Xing had just seized the command, but all the operators present did not feel anything wrong.

They even passed the orders down smoothly.

The communicator: "..."

His heart skipped a beat. He looked up and glanced at Shi Xing and Chi Yao. After confirming that the two of them had no dispute about this, the communicator continued to focus on the work at hand.

He thought, the little prince is growing up so fast, maybe before long, when his prestige is higher, all the superiors will remove the word "little" at the beginning when addressing Shi Xing.

The communicator looked at both of them, but Shi Xing still kept his eyelashes drooping, and was a little afraid to look directly at Chi Yao.

It was not because of those two words that snatched the command authority.

His order was not wrong, and the prince would not be angry, but...

in the current condition of his body, if he used his mental power without authorization, the prince might be unhappy.

Thinking of this, Shi Xing lowered his head even more. He

was actually a little afraid to face Chi Yao.

Chi Yao, who took in his reaction, had no expression, and it was hard to tell what he was feeling.

"Erya, check Shi Xing."

The voice was flat, and it was hard to make sense.

This voice brought everyone back to their senses from the visual shock just now. They all asked Shi Xing about his physical condition after using his mental power.

Shi Xing: "It's okay, I didn't use too much mental power."

"It's just that my natural ability made it easy to fix the star beasts. I saw that everyone was troubled by their speed, so..." "

It's okay. Sister Erya did it in the middle. The cleaning up later also absorbed some of the star beasts' mental power, which can be regarded as a little supplement."

During these questions, Chi Yao's voice could not be heard for a long time, and Shi Xing became more and more unsure.

After the inspection, Erya gave the conclusion, "It's OK. The remaining spiritual power in the body of the A-level star beast is not too much. One may be equivalent to a few of your red ores. You are lucky. Don't do this again next time..."

She paused, waved her hand, shook her head and laughed, "I was confused too. It seems that you will listen to my instructions. Anyway, you have nothing to do now. I will tell your prince about the rest."

After more than half a year of getting along, Erya naturally knew what kind of personality Shi Xing had in the day-to-day training.

The axe came up and didn't listen to anyone. She didn't say it, because she was lazy. Who is Shi Xing's partner and who cares about that?

Shi Xing choked.

Chi Yao, who was behind the crowd in the line of sight, turned around and took a few steps to the side. The communicator was calling him. After whispering a few words, the communicator pushed a projection in front of Chi Yao, who unfolded it.

It should be the marching situation, and Chi Yao looked at it very seriously.

Knowing that Shi Xing was fine, Fei Chu finally talked about the amazing scene and sighed, "Wow, Xingxing, how did you do it? I have never seen a star beast die so easily in my life!"

"Too amazing!"

"I was thinking that if it really doesn't work, I will open the hatch and send out mechas to kill them."

"But this will inevitably reduce the retreat speed..."

These star beasts are not of high level, but the timing of their appearance is not good. If they are entangled when they need to move forward at full speed, once the battle begins, it will inevitably slow down the speed of the entire battleship team. Even if the main team leaves first, the team left to deal with the star beasts will face the pursuit of the star beasts later... In short, it is a dilemma.

But Shi Xing solved this problem perfectly.

Fei Chu thought happily, "Now that you have learned Erya's ability, then in the future, we don't have to fight in close combat against S-level and SS-level star beasts? You can disintegrate their bodies, and I don't even need to make the final move. Is this really a medic? Xingxing, you are now..."

"Fei Chu, silence in the command cabin."

A marker was thrown at him suddenly, and Fei Chu tried to dodge, but the pen carried Chi Yao's mental power, so even after dodging, the marker still hit him on the forehead, making him gasp in pain.

Fei Chu covered his head, and finally heard what Chi Yao said. He suppressed his voice and said, "I didn't offend you, how can a pen thrown with mental power? It's a foul!"

It's not that Fei Chu has never been thrown a pen by Chi Yao before, and it has happened so many times that his body has formed a conditioned reflex.

But there was spiritual power mixed on the pen. This was the first time he encountered such a thing. What a big grudge!

Erya glanced at Shi Xing who was at a loss, and understood what was going on. He just said, "Say less. We are still being chased by the star beasts. Is it over?"

After this conversation, Chi Yao ordered, "Fei Chu, take people to check the integrity of the mother ship's hull to see if those star beasts have scratched it."

Fei Chu: "..."

They sang the same tune, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to drive him away.

After all, he was an admiral. Fei Chu adjusted his mood and left with a curse.

He left, and Chi Yao followed him and said, "Fu Qing, come and take over here. We have previously transferred a battleship from Zhuang Yuanyin's team to Ye Jun to use as an unmanned battleship. Now the two sides are discussing it. If you have any questions, call me."

Fu Qing agreed, and Chi Yao turned the projection screen in his hand to Fu Qing.

"The retreat is hasty, Uncle Xu, you go and arrange your daily life."

Xu Jin also left.

Er Ya was particularly tactful, and made up an excuse to follow Xu Jin away.

In a few words, the command cabin was empty, and the only ones who were still idle were Shi Xing and Yan Changyue.

"Your Highness..."

As Chi Yao approached, Shi Xing called softly, with a bit of timidity in his eyes, a unique expression that only appears after making a mistake, and looks particularly well-behaved and deceptive.

Chi Yao glanced at Shi Xing, not knowing whether he was happy or angry. Just when Shi Xing thought he would say something, Chi Yao said, "Chang Yue, take Shi Xing down to rest."

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but Chi Yao saw through him and asked him, "Why, do you still want to stay and participate in the command?"

Shi Xing shook his head.

He didn't have the energy anymore.

Chi Yao: "Then go back with Chang Yue to rest."

After that, another communicator called Chi Yao from behind. There must be another situation in the team.

Chi Yao turned around. He had no intention of leaving. The communicator reported a few more data. Chi Yao frowned and immediately stepped forward to take over and check.

Shi Xing still left with Yan Changyue.

There was nothing else. Even if he was worried that His Highness was angry, he couldn't say anything in the command cabin, not to mention the current situation faced by the entire army. The First Army Group needed His Highness, and Chi Yao needed to do more important things with his time.

In the command cabin, he was completely relying on his last breath to hold on, and his mental strength was consumed. After leaving the command cabin, Shi Xing became visibly weaker.

Yan Changyue brought the red ore over. Shi Xing said that she wanted to take a bath. Yan Changyue took a shower and came back to see Shi Xing sleeping on the sofa.

After confirming that Shi Xing was not fainted, Yan Changyue cleaned up the room, asked the robot to put Shi Xing on the bed, and then left quietly.

When Shi Xing woke up, it was already the next day.

"Xingxing, you're awake."

"Yesterday, the low fever temperature came up again. The doctor and Erya both suggested that you sleep, so His Highness didn't call you."

Yan Changyue watched and prepared meals for Shi Xing.

Shi Xing looked at himself and asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, won't you share a room with me?"

Yan Changyue: "Your Highness said you need to rest, so he asked Uncle Xu to arrange two rooms."

Fearing that Shi Xing might have some ideas, he quickly added, "Last night, some star beasts caught up with us again. They were not high-level, and a battle broke out. Your Highness didn't go back to rest in his room."

Chi Yao and most of the officers hadn't slept yet.

Shi Xing felt a little distressed and asked about the current situation of the army. Knowing that Chi Yao was still busy, he ate obediently, listened to Yan Changyue's arrangements, and followed the examinations closely.

Shi Xing's health was indeed not very good. He was sleepy and tired wherever he went.

He met Chi Yao at dinner that day. They didn't say much. After dinner, Shi Xing fell asleep on the sofa again.

Several days passed in a flash.

The planet they hunted was said to be filled with star beasts.

That planet was the defense planet of the border, and it seemed that it could not be recovered in the short term. If it could not be recovered, the defense of the border would have to change. The First Legion had caused the trouble, so they could not just walk away.

The border was called a line, but in reality it was a spherical surface that protected the entire galaxy.

With that planet as a midpoint, to one side is the Fourth Legion, and to the other side is the Third Legion. Uncertain about how so many star beasts will migrate in the future, after getting rid of the star beasts' pursuit, they temporarily move slowly in space, and their destination is the main planet where the Fourth Legion of the Border is stationed.

The replanning of the border also requires your Highness to make a decision.

Shi Xing sleeps every day, but Chi Yao's daily sleep time does not exceed 6 hours.

When the news from the satellite showed that the star beasts on that planet started to fight each other because of their large number, and the number of star beasts rushing to the planet decreased, the situation finally reached a turning point.

"It depends on how they leave after the energy on the planet dissipates."

"If they turn back to space, everyone will be happy. If they want to invade the borders on both sides, we should provide support."

Fei Chu, who had been busy for several days, told the latest situation, had lunch, and finally had time to rest. He went to sleep in his room.

Chi Yao came back later, his face full of fatigue. After washing up, he also went to rest.

When he woke up again, he found Shi Xing wrapped in a blanket and wearing loose and comfortable clothes in his room.

"Your Highness, you are awake. Do you want some water?"

Chi Yao nodded, and Shi Xing obediently went to pour water.

While walking, Chi Yao found that Shi Xing was wearing a pair of furry slippers.

At first glance, it was something given by Erya. Shi Xing looked young, and she liked to give him these cute things.

The pink fur was pressed against Shi Xing's white ankles. Chi Yao followed the person for a while before slowly looking away. After

drinking some water, Chi Yao asked, "How long have I slept?"

"Not long, just three hours."

After so many days, Shi Xing thought he would have to wait for a long time. However, probably because of the stressful environment, Chi Yao's heart was tense and he couldn't relax.

Chi Yao: "What..."

The words slipped out of his mouth, and he realized that he was facing Shi Xing, so he stopped talking and reached out to touch his communicator.

Shi Xing grabbed his hand and told him, "Nothing happened, it's still the same, Your Highness."

"I'm watching for these three hours, no problem."

Chi Yao nodded.

He let out a breath and raised his hand to cover his forehead. He had just woken up and felt relieved, so he slowed down his pace again.

Shi Xing sat down at the end of the bed.

There were only two people left in the room.

It was a long time of being alone.

Chi Yao was still a little tired, so he didn't rush to get up and wanted to sit for a while.

After a long silence, he just opened his mouth and said the word "you". Shi Xing interrupted and said, "Don't chase me away."

Chi Yao was silent.

Shi Xing lowered his head and couldn't hear the other party's next sentence. He didn't hesitate and took the initiative to ask, "Are you angry with me?"

Hearing Chi Yao's question, which was indescribable, "Why am I angry with you?"

Shi Xing gritted his teeth and repeated the incident of his unauthorized use of mental power.

Chi Yao sneered, "It seems that you are very aware of your poor physical condition at that time."

Shi Xing's scalp tingled.

He was a little afraid that Chi Yao's conversation without focus would make people confused.

But this tone... It sounded like he was angry.

That's right, his reaction that day and afterwards didn't seem like he wasn't angry.

Shi Xing raised his head, he was still feverish, his face looked pale, his pale face matched with his bright eyes, he looked particularly pitiful. But

Chi Yao was unmoved.

After staring at each other for a while, Shi Xing couldn't stand Chi Yao's expressionless gaze, he lowered his head again and took the initiative again, "I was wrong, Your Highness."

Chi Yao was too much, "What's wrong?"

Shi Xing moved closer to Chi Yao and whispered, "I shouldn't have used my mental power recklessly, causing you and everyone else to worry."

"What else?"

Shi Xing had to choke out another sentence in this situation, "You shouldn't have apologized now, it's too late."

"No." Chi Yao corrected.

"You did it knowingly."

He hit the sore spot directly, "You knew very well that you shouldn't use your mental power again, but in order to solve the star beast as quickly as possible, you still did it. If you do it again, I think you won't change, right?"

Shi Xing stopped talking.

Chi Yao pointed out: "So you would do it anyway, what's the point of you admitting your mistakes and apologizing now?"

"In your heart, you don't think you did anything wrong."

Shi Xing argued, "I don't think I'm right."

Chi Yao: "It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong, you won't change your choice next time this happens."

"You will still do it."

Based on this, there is no point in apologizing.

Shi Xing was stunned.

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds. Shi Xing was shameless and hugged one of Chi Yao's calves nearby, put his face on the other's knees, and asked miserably, "You are very unhappy, aren't you?"

Chi Yao: "What do you think?"

Shi Xing felt that he was finished.

But he still wanted to fight.

"Then punish me."

Apologies are useless, so punish.

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows, "How to punish?"

His Highness actually asked him to provide his own punishment opinions. While Shi Xing was devastated, he felt that this was in line with Chi Yao's character. He shut up and wanted to make excuses, but he didn't answer, and Chi Yao didn't respond either. Knowing that he couldn't get around it, Shi Xing continued pitifully.

"You can increase the training."

Chi Yao: "Let a blue star with a low fever run long distances on the battleship every day?"

"..." Hmm.

"Then... write a self-criticism?"

"How many words?"

Shi Xing closed his eyes in pain, and rubbed his cheek against Chi Yao's knees randomly, but the other party didn't move. Knowing that the proposal should not be too little, Shi Xing stretched out his hand to indicate a number.

Chi Yao said in a disdainful voice, "One thousand?"

Shi Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand!"

Chi Yao's voice returned to normal, "Okay."

"That's it?"

Shi Xing was confused, being pushed and forced by Chi Yao, and gritted his teeth and said, "I can, I can handle more government affairs."

Although he took over some of the tedious internal affairs, there were actually many things that were not very useful and needed their approval.

Chi Yao: "You have already taken over the Elders Council, what else do you want to take over?"

Shi Xing said tentatively, "The Ecological Protection Bureau?"

"Okay, what else?"

Shi Xing wanted to cry, but he held back, gritted his teeth again, and said, "Forestry Bureau."

This was the government affairs of the department he hated the most because he couldn't figure it out.

How much land, how much water, how many seedlings are needed to introduce trees, how many days will it take for him to deal with it, it feels not much better than facing the star beast.

Chi Yao naturally knew this, so Shi Xing heard that one person passed the test, "Yeah."

Chi Yao: "A review, some government affairs, and punishment are enough?"

Everyone in Shi Xing was dizzy, "Ah? Not enough?"

How angry is His Highness? Is he unable to pay for his crime?

Chi Yao pointed his long finger at his side and indicated, "I like that pajamas."

Shi Xing thought for a long time before he thought of the gauze pajamas.

Afterwards, the two of them had several conversations around pajamas. Chi Yao asked him to buy something else so that he could wear it after the maturity period, but Shi Xing firmly refused.

So... does the scope of punishment also include such humiliating things that cost the country its sovereignty?

Shi Xing was deeply saddened and clenched his teeth, "Well, well... I'll go back and take a look..." "

Just take a look?"

"Buy any suitable ones I see."

"How many?"

Shi Xing was numb, "Two."

The answer was immediate and sure enough, Chi Yao did not continue to pester him.

But Chi Yao asked again: "Wouldn't you bring something else?"

Shi Xing raised his head in surprise, his blue eyes widened, "For example?"

"For example," Chi Yao coughed lightly, not ashamed at all, and said calmly, "Aromatherapy candles, ropes, soft whips... I remember there are several slightly psychedelic water sprays, patented, and available in every store, what do you think?"

Shi Xing opened his mouth and couldn't close it.

Punishment... actually includes so many things?

Shi Xing was dumbfounded, stunned for a long time, and replied with one word, "Ah?!!"

The tail tone was dragged out for a long time, pitiful and innocent to the extreme.

Chi Yao, who had been restrained, looked at Shi Xing like this, and finally couldn't restrain himself anymore, lowered his head and smiled.

While shaking his shoulders, he put his hands on his forehead, laughing and shaking his head, he was overjoyed. As

time passed, when Chi Yao raised his head again, there was still an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Xing's IQ finally came online, and he said belatedly, "Your Highness, you...are not angry, right?" "

When did I say I was angry?" Chi Yao smiled, with a rare brilliant smile.

Shi Xing's pupils trembled, "Then why are you discussing the punishment measures with me?!"

Chi Yao's eyebrows relaxed, "Didn't you propose it yourself?"

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing: "..."

Oh, Shi Xing understood, Your Highness lied to him!
