Chi Yao was stunned when he heard this, and touched Shi Xing's forehead. Having led the army for many years, his perception was sharp. Shi Xing's body temperature under his palm had indeed dropped slightly, and... Shi Xing's skin no longer absorbed energy, and his body no longer unconsciously dissipated energy.

But this was not the focus of his attention.

Chi Yao frowned: "Are you sure he is okay?"

So much energy was rushing towards Shi Xing, and subconsciously, Chi Yao felt that it was impossible.

Er Ya laughed and said, "Don't you know it by perceiving it with your mental power?"

Facing Er Ya's ridicule, Chi Yao did not speak, touched Shi Xing's forehead again, and released his mental power.

The moment he felt that Shi Xing's spiritual sea was peaceful and stable, the stone hanging in Chi Yao's heart finally fell to the ground, but he did not feel much relieved.

"Hey, there's a signal."

Admiral Ye Jun suddenly said.

"Your Highness, we can contact the main star."

"It's a bit intermittent. Someone help me turn on a signal amplifier. I guess the star beast still has some mental power left. The signal is not very good."

Ye Jun's subordinates hurried forward, rustling around for a while, and finally got a stable signal channel.

Ye Jun reported later, "The garrison star couldn't contact us either. They had been searching for our signal."

"Their search team has already set out to find it. The first round of search was fruitless, and they are preparing to send more people."

"Your Highness."

Ye Jun looked at Chi Yao.

Chi Yao picked up Shi Xing and looked up at the obviously chaotic energy in the atmosphere of the desolate star.

It was the influence of the Time Star's ability that made it like this.

Even though the Time Star had already passed its maturity stage, Chi Yao was still unsure whether these energies would bring anything and trigger another gathering of Star Beasts.

Chi Yao lowered his eyes for a moment, and his worried expression quickly turned into determination.

"Send the coordinates and have the search team pick us up and escort us."

"Check the condition of the mechas and battleships. Those that are severely damaged, have their energy storage destroyed, and cannot fly should all be set to self-destruct mode."

"Yi Zhenqiang and Ying Geng will be in charge of this."

"Ye Jun, check the damage to our equipment. We'll handle it the same way as the battleships. Take away what can be taken away, and throw what can't be taken away into the battleships and destroy them together."

"Fei Chu will be in charge of personnel dispatch. It would be best if we could set off in ten minutes."

"Fu Qing, find a battleship for Shi Xing and me, and he'll follow me."

Orders were quickly issued one after another. The officers responded, and the entire team got busy in an orderly manner.

Erya got a flashlight out of the medical cabin, looked at Shi Xing's pupils, and was surprised. "The pupils have contracted. It's not a coma, but it looks more like he fell asleep due to overdrawn energy."

Chi Yao: "All the star beasts on a hill were annihilated. He was overdrawn... Isn't it!"

Erya looked up and glanced at Chi Yao.

"Are you angry with Shi Xing?"

Hearing this tone, the irony was simply full.

Chi Yao put two fingers on his eyebrows, realized that his tone was wrong, shook his head, and said, "No."

Erya raised the corners of her lips, her expression was playful, but she didn't ask any more questions.

It was originally a matter between the two little lovers, and his anger was not directed at her. She was lazy and annoying.

Besides...

Shi Xing was indeed a little scary this time. In short, she was really scared.

Bold, but also to protect everyone, so that Erya is blameless.

So she would not get involved in such thankless things, she is not alone, there are people to take care of him on Shixing.

Thinking of this, Erya's expression was rarely stiff for a moment, thinking of the past that she had not thought of for a long time, and then laughed and shook her head, thinking that the current life is not bad, carefree, nothing is missing.

Although sometimes I feel that something is missing in my life, but fate itself is something that can only be encountered.

Erya: "After returning to the empire, I should also return to my own planet."

The farewell words were spoken suddenly, and in Chi Yao's sight, Fei Chu turned around and cast his eyes in their direction.

Chi Yao: "After all, you are Shixing's teacher."

"You can talk to him in person when the time comes."

Erya nodded.

The small mothership and battleship were ready, and Chi Yao carried people on one of the ships prepared for them, accompanied by a technician who was in charge of communication and operation.

"What, are you sure?" Lu Li was surprised.

"Yes."

Qin Jue said with certainty after retrieving the data again.

"The group of star beasts that were monitored lost their traces last night and cannot be found in the universe now."

Qin Jue dragged the projection interface in front of Lu Li, and Lu Li looked at it and found that there was indeed no signal of the existence of any star beasts.

But...

Lu Li was in a dilemma, "More than a hundred mutant beasts disappeared overnight?"

"Could they have passed through the wormhole and taken another route?"

Tan Jue: "We didn't detect any large wormholes on the way here. It's more likely that they could rely on the mutant beasts' space ability."

Lu Li frowned, "But since they are coming, their space ability shouldn't prevent us from detecting their existence, right?"

Using space ability would only allow them to arrive faster, and the destination would not change.

This was also a point that Tan Jue couldn't explain.

The officers of the First Army and the Third Army discussed but couldn't find a solution. In the end, the First Army decided to report to Chi Yao to see what His Highness would say.

Facts have proved that the decision was correct.

It's just that the reply was hard to digest.

"Ah? They went to besiege His Highness? Then why don't we send people immediately..."

Before Lu Li could finish, Qin Jue interrupted and said in a complicated tone, "No need, His Highness said they have already dealt with it."

Lu Li: "?

" Xiang Fei: "?"

Zhuang Yuanyin: "?!"

Other senior military officers: “???”

Xiang Fei: “What do you mean, solved?”

“Didn’t Your Highness only bring four teams? The most they can do is deal with 30 star beasts. Is it... the solution I imagined?”

Tan Jue sighed at his subordinates, “You are right, four teams cannot deal with so many star beasts, and so many star beasts cannot be solved by the army.”

Everyone present: “?!!”

The situation is moving further and further in a magical direction!

Tan Jue: "It was the young prince who solved it. His second talent has been enhanced and can annihilate matter... Therefore, all the star beasts have no remains left."

Tan Jue: "The young prince's use of mental power has caused energy turbulence on the desolate planet. The prince asked us to lock on the desolate planet and detect whether there are any new star beasts approaching nearby."

Everyone's first reaction was to confirm whether they heard it wrong.

And facing Tan Jue's serious look, after confirming that they were not hallucinating, everyone felt even more magical.

Tan Jue's own brain was also dizzy, and he couldn't care about others. He called Xiang Fei and immediately prepared to launch several satellites and several unmanned probes to the desolate planet for subsequent detection work.

Return to the stationed planet smoothly.

They met up with the battleship that was looking for them before they got halfway, and then they relaxed and accepted the protection and escort of the battleship team, and returned to the garrison star with peace of mind.

Back to the garrison star, the monitoring of the desolate star and the things that happened along the way were explained by Yi Zhenqiang, Ying Geng, Fei Chu, Ye Jun and other officers to clear up everyone's doubts.

After arranging the things that needed attention, Chi Yao's mind was all on Shi Xing.

The first reaction after returning to the garrison star was to call a doctor.

The second reaction was to call the attendant.

After a busy time, Shi Xing's clothes were changed, and all the tests that could be done were done. The data showed that He Erya and Chi Yao's perceptions were correct, and based on the physical signs, the doctor clearly knew that Shi Xing had passed the mature stage and became a medical practitioner.

Xu Jin was overjoyed, "Has the maturity period passed? That's great. After returning to the empire, we can join hands with the Elders Council to announce Xingxing to the outside world."

Chi Yao realized a series of matters later, and it was time to put them on the agenda.

Including but not limited to, announcing Shi Xing's identity to the outside world, announcing Shi Xing as his partner to the public, holding a formal wedding, etc.

But right now, what he is most concerned about is how long it will take Shi Xing to wake up.

It seems that it is really different after the maturity period. Shi Xing did not fall asleep for a few days. After dawn, when all the support teams were in place and the commanders came to meet Chi Yao, Yan Changyue hurried to find Chi Yao after a while at noon.

Without waiting for him to speak, seeing Yan Changyue's happy expression, Chi Yao stood up abruptly.

Yes, Shi Xing woke up.

Just woke up.

When Chi Yao returned to the mother ship, Shi Xing was drinking the milk that Xu Jin had poured for him, and he looked a little dazed.

"Your Highness?"

"Your Highness!"

As soon as Chi Yao showed up, Shi Xing smiled and tried to get up.

"What's the hurry?"

He wanted to get out of bed, but Chi Yao pressed his shoulder with one hand, so Shi Xing sat back on the bed.

But Shi Xing's eyes were always glued to Chi Yao, and his sea-blue eyes were rippling with water waves, which made Chi Yao's throat move, and his mood was complicated and subtle.

Xu Jin winked, "I'll go check on the porridge prepared for Xingxing."

When he left, he took Yan Changyue away with him.

As soon as the attendants left, Shi Xing was no longer honest, and hugged Chi Yao, and reluctantly called him "Your Highness".

Chi Yao was stunned for a moment, and then put his hand on Shi Xing's back.

The person in his embrace was warm and

alive .

"Your Highness, I thought I would never see you again."

"Great, I'm back."

To Shi Xing's surprise, he thought Chi Yao would say something, but he only got a low "hmm".

Finally remembering what he had done on the mountain, Shi Xing felt a little anxious again. With the idea of ​​dying early and being reborn early, he let go of Chi Yao, knelt on the bed, and asked softly with his head down, as if he was asking for forgiveness. "You're not angry with me, are you?"

If Er Ya had come first today, Shi Xing would have gotten a very different answer.

Fortunately, Chi Yao was the first to come.

Chi Yao reached out his hand to Shi Xing, and Shi Xing held it nervously. He was pulled hard and sat a little closer to Chi Yao.

Chi Yao's eyes slid down from Shi Xing's face, almost looking over his whole body. While Shi Xing was waiting anxiously, he shook his head. Shi

Xing was stunned.

After staring at each other in silence for a few seconds, Chi Yao raised the corners of his lips first, "Why, still not feeling well?"

"You want me to be angry?"

Shi Xing shook his head quickly.

Thinking of a similar scene in his memory, he shook his head heavily.

Seeing this, Chi Yao finally smiled slightly, then pulled Shi Xing to hug him.

This time, he didn't keep Shi Xing hanging, nor did he have the energy, so he explained directly, "If it were me, I would do the same."

This answer made Shi Xing wonder whether he should be glad or not.

Shi Xing whispered, "Perhaps, you could have handled it more thoroughly?"

Chi Yao pinched her cheeks and wouldn't let go, "You can be impulsive, but if it were me, I would expect me to be thorough, and you would take all the good things?" Shi

Xing said indignantly, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant."

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows.

Well, the lie was seen through.

Shi Xing climbed on Chi Yao again, hugged him and said, "Even if I think so, it's understandable, I care about you~"

In return, Chi Yao sneered and replied, "Very good, I think so too."

Shi Xing: "."

Although he said so, when it comes to handling things, Chi Yao is still more mature than Shi Xing. Even if the ideas are the same, it will not be Chi Yao who takes advantage.

But Chi Yao knows this in his heart, but he won't tell his partner.

He doesn't want to give someone who is already very suffocating the opportunity to make further advances.

Chi Yao pinched Shi Xing's cheek again, making Shi Xing's skin red and itchy.

"Anyway, we are all competing with each other, let's see who is better in the future."

Shi Xing felt bitter.

He was afraid of saying too much and making mistakes. Chi Yao was not angry before, but now he was upset by him.

He didn't dare to say anything, so he broke the rules and kissed the other's jaw.

The kiss was as soft as a star, and soon their lips and teeth were entangled in one place.

Maybe this time was too shocking, and both parties wanted to confirm the real existence of the other, and they crossed the line while kissing.

Chi Yao put his hand into Shi Xing's clothes, and the same went for Shi Xing.

Shi Xing always felt that he had forgotten something.

But Chi Yao's presence was too strong, and he was wrapped in the other's breath and body temperature, and his mind was a little confused.

It was not until Shi Xing started to tremble in Chi Yao's palm and looked into the other's smoky gray eyes that he woke up from a dream.

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness, something's wrong..."

Holding the other's hand, Shi Xing pushed Chi Yao away slightly, and the two of them were breathing in the same rapid and chaotic manner.

When he looked up, he could clearly distinguish the feelings in Chi Yao's eyes, but Shi Xing did not dare to delay.

Shi Xing said directly, "There is something very important."

Without waiting for Chi Yao to refuse, Shi Xing said directly, "The king beast that was repelled by our galaxy in the last beast tide is not dead yet."

"Your Highness, the king beast you are looking for is the one that was seriously injured by the two monarchs of the empire."

Chi Yao was still passionate in the last second.

The next second, after Shi Xing finished speaking, he saw that the passion in the other's eyes quickly cooled down.

"Do you know what you are saying? Are you sure?"

His voice became colder, and Chi Yao looked particularly serious.

Shi Xing changed his tone and nodded, "I am sure."
