In a zone of dense energy chaos, a pale blue planet with a jade-like luster silently rotates in the center.

The star's light is hot and evenly distributed on the planet.

Occasionally, a star beast passes by this zone, but chooses to take a long detour.

Only certain star beasts can shuttle through this death zone, cross the energy belt unscathed, and enter the planet's atmosphere.

In the atmosphere, trees are lush and rivers are flourishing.

A hundred years of desertedness have made the planet's already beautiful natural ecology even more beautiful.

On the green lawn, the star beast, which has not received any news from the depths of the universe for a week, is irritable.

A cruel light flashes in its eyes.

"Awoo, awoo——"

No information is sent back.

The star beast that just landed said to the star beast with heterochromatic pupils.

This is the third star beast that has traveled back and forth in the universe that day.

Before he could stand firm, he was blown away by the roar of the heterochromatic pupils.

The heterochromatic pupils were in a bad mood.

He paced back and forth for a few steps and roared again.

More star beasts stood up from the grass and went out to wait for news.

The star beast with heterochromatic pupils looked at their figures flying out of the atmosphere, with a hint of irritable envy.

"Ahhh!"

He roared a few times as if to vent his anger, and his mental power was rebounded by the atmosphere. This damn planet was filled with high-density energy from the outside to the inside.

Energy has its own unique trajectory on this planet. Only life forms born on this planet can keep pace with its energy flow. Life forms that are not native to this planet will be like Hei Tong, trapped by the energy flow outside the atmosphere and unable to move.

Hei Tong has forgotten how many years he has been trapped. Hei Tong misses the days of traveling in the universe.

Even if there are dangers lurking in the universe at any time, it is also a time of freedom.

Now...

"Ah!"

"Roar!"

The mental power swept the world, and Hei Tong began to curse again.

In the middle of the night, Shi Xing sat up.

He held his forehead and shook his head, letting his thoughts return to his body.

"What's wrong?"

A hand grasped his wrist, and Shi Xing shuddered. Someone beside him whispered, "It's me, Chi Yao."

Shi Xing regained consciousness and murmured, "Your Highness."

"Did you dream about anything?"

Chi Yao also sat up. He had been in the military for many years, and his mental strength was high. He would wake up at the slightest movement.

Shi Xing held his forehead and shook his head again, "It's not a dream, it's... I seem to feel..."

He swallowed, his sea-blue eyes filled with uncertainty, "I felt the blue star and the star beast on it."

His dry palm brushed across his neck and back, and he paused when he heard it.

Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao and said uneasily, "Does it sound ridiculous?"

Chi Yao reached out and touched Shi Xing's eyes.

Every time Shi Xing's eyes were filled with such emotions, there would always be a rare fragility. Even though he knew he didn't mean that, it looked like he was looking for dependence invisibly, with a kind of fragile and illusory beauty.

"No."

Chi Yao's voice was steady, pulling the half-asleep Shi Xing back to reality, "In fact, I have always been puzzled by one thing, the alien beasts are abnormally sensitive to your mental power."

"Now that I think about it, it's probably because you are all from the blue star. The star beasts can locate their companions. With the characteristics of the blue star, they can locate you better... The positioning itself is achieved by mental power. It's not strange that you feel it."

Every time the star beasts approached, Shi Xing was always the first to react.

Chi Yao's palm covered Shi Xing's face, feeling the human body temperature, Shi Xing relaxed a little.

After a pause, he said what really shocked him, "I seem to see a lot of star beasts, the whole blue planet is full of new groups of king beasts..." They

are densely packed like a virus and have taken root on the blue planet. It is both disgusting and terrifying to see.

Chi Yao reached out to Shi Xing, and Shi Xing understood what he meant. He threw himself on Chi Yao, but he didn't expect Shi Xing to use so much force. They both fell and lay down. Shi Xing buried his face in Chi Yao's neck, breathing his scent.

"It's okay, it won't last too long."

Chi Yao soothed, touching the back of his partner's head.

Shi Xing didn't understand at first, and after a while, he realized the hidden meaning in Chi Yao's words, and said in disbelief, "Your Highness, you..."

Do you mean to wipe out the star beasts on the blue planet?

But, is the empire going to send troops?

The civil servants will agree, will the military officers agree too? !

Chi Yao, as if he knew what Shi Xing was thinking, pressed down his head that was about to be raised, "The king beast that triggered the hundred-year resistance war is not dead. This is not just the empire's business. Other planets in the galaxy will not and cannot let it go if they know about it."

"Star beasts are very vengeful creatures. Now they have created mutant star beasts. Are they going to keep them on Blue Star? Do they want to wait for the next beast tide to erupt?"

Although it is foreseeable that there will be a beast tide heading for Shi Xing.

But Chi Yao did not mention it because he did not want to worry his partner.

This statement convinced Shi Xing.

Rubbing his forehead, Shi Xing apologized, "I seem to have put myself too much into Blue Star's thinking."

"If you care too much, you will be confused." Chi Yao understood.

With his long fingers rubbing Shi Xing's lips affectionately, Chi Yao said softly, "Besides, no matter what happens to the King Beast or Blue Star in the future, you are always my partner, and the Empire is also your planet." "

You can trust us."

Shi Xing's throat was blocked by something, and his heart was soft. He didn't know what to say, so he nodded randomly.

He stood up in a moment, grabbed Chi Yao's collar and kissed him.

Soon, Chi Yao's clothes were messed up and wrinkled by Shi Xing. When he touched the buttons and wanted to unbutton them one by one, his hand was rarely held down.

Chi Yao reminded him, "We will be back to the Empire tomorrow."

Shi Xing's reckless spirit got the better of him, and he said inexplicably boldly, "It's okay, I..."

His voice became very soft, "I've passed the maturity stage."

It was a plain statement, but it seemed to hint at something.

After saying it, Shi Xing's breathing became disordered, his ears and face became hot, and he felt ashamed.

Chi Yao's breathing was also obviously disordered for two beats.

But Shi Xing couldn't detect the sound, "Really? Let me see."

His long fingers stroked from the ankle upwards.

Shi Xing was particularly obedient, and even sat forward a little to facilitate Chi Yao's movements.

The palm-sized skin touched each other, moving slowly and not quickly, passing by the waist and the inner side of the knees. Shi Xing's back trembled, but he did not shrink back at all. Instead, he opened up more to facilitate Chi Yao.

The night could not stop the good eyesight of the imperial people.

Chi Yao saw the blush on his partner's face, like a musical instrument played by himself, playing a silent but sweet melody.

The movements were frank, and the love contained in them was unreserved.

Chi Yao seemed to be able to see the flow of affection in Shi Xing's reaction.

The invisible things became visible.

Something filled his heart, warm and bright, and gathered the beauty of the world.

The warmth splashed on Chi Yao's hand.

Get out of bed to wash.

Back in the bedroom, Shi Xing looked at him with blushing cheeks, not feeling sleepy at all.

Chi Yao lifted the quilt and lay down, feeling the smooth touch, "Why don't you put on your pajamas?"

Shi Xing came over again, staring at him with bright eyes, and asked in confusion, "Are you not interested?"

"No."

He found Shi Xing's clothes, asked him to lift his feet, put on his partner's clothes, and hugged him.

They were so close that Shi Xing could feel Chi Yao's reaction, which had not subsided yet.

"It's just that I'm not interested in making my private life public."

The sound insulation and other aspects of the mother ship are always not as good as the bedroom.

Besides, they will land tomorrow. The country has just announced Shi Xing's identity. With Ren Yanyong's personality, they will definitely be welcomed according to the corresponding standards. Standing in front of people, Chi Yao will naturally not be strange, but he also doesn't want people to see that Shi Xing is strange, so the best way is to not start this for the time being.

"There will definitely be people coming, and then they will walk a distance in the crowd to get on the spaceship."

"You don't want to rub your eyes and greet tiredly, do you?"

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing: "Well, not really, okay..."

Shi Xing wanted to say something like hurry up, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"No, I can't."

Hearing Chi Yao's hidden words, Shi Xing's ears were hot again.

"Go to sleep."

Chi Yao whispered in his ear again, joking, "Remember to be so enthusiastic when you return to the palace."

Shi Xing: "Okay."

Chi Yao was stunned for a moment, smiled, pinched Shi Xing's ear, and said helplessly, "It would be great if you were so obedient in other matters." Shi

Xing argued, pretending not to understand, and pretending to sleep.

He closed his eyes for a moment, after all, he had vented, and fell asleep without knowing it.

Chi Yao thought it was normal, and touched Shi Xing's eyebrows and eyelashes with his long fingers again, as if he was holding a treasure, and hugged Shi Xing tightly and closed his eyes.

The next day's welcome was just as Chi Yao said, with a huge scene.

Shi Xing couldn't even put on his clothes properly by himself, so Yan Changyue helped him with the brooch, epaulettes, how his hair should look, whether he should wear a necklace, etc. Just listening to Yan Changyue's mumbling made Shi Xing's eyes go dark.

After that, it was passed from Yan Changyue to Xu Jin, and then looked at by Chi Yao. The three of them nodded, and then they followed him down the mother ship in a daze.

After getting off the battleship, looking around, the port was crowded with people.

Shi Xing was in a trance: "Are we landing directly in the imperial capital?"

He clearly remembered that there was no port in the imperial capital where battleships and airships could stop directly.

Chi Yao denied with a smile, "No, it's just some enthusiastic people who want to see you."

"Huh?" "

The Elders Council announced you, and the part about your ability display was chosen for you to destroy the star beast. You know the customs of the Empire. People will naturally worship public figures with high spiritual power. Get used to it."

Having said that, Shi Xing still felt a little awkward.

But although he was not used to it, he also abided by his duties. According to the standards of the royal family, he waved and smiled to the people when possible.

Every time Shi Xing raised his hand, he would receive enthusiastic cheers from the people.

Chi Yao was not a passionate person. After he had done his face-saving work, he put his hand down.

Shi Xing was hindered by the enthusiasm of the people. Thinking that it was not easy to come to everyone, he raised his hand for a long time to say hello, and did not put it down until he got on the royal spaceship for transfer.

As soon as he put it down, his hands felt sore.

He heard laughter while rubbing his hands. He turned his head and saw Chi Yao's eyes curled up.

Chi Yao: "I told you to take it easy."

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing turned his back.

After a while, he was twisted back and took his hand. Chi Yao massaged his wrist with moderate force to relax his muscles.

Soon, the photos of Shi Xing leaving the mothership were all over the Star Network.

[Picture.JPG, I took it! 】

【Picture.JPG, Picture.JPG, Picture.JPG, Me too, seems to have a very good personality】

【Yes, yes, it's nothing like Your Majesty, not aloof, and has been waving at us~】

【Wuwuwu looks so small, are all the people on Blue Star like this? So cute】

【Yeah, I think it's cute too, which doesn't match the video at all】

While scrolling, Fei Chu shared some interesting replies with Shi Xing and Chi Yao.

There is a special route from the port to the capital. If it is fast, it will take no more than an hour.

Wait for Shi Xing to get off the airship.

Obviously, it is not far from the palace, but it is the first time for Shi Xing to see so many people in front of the palace.

Moreover, Shi Xing: "Why do we have to stop here? Didn't we stop at the gate of the palace before?"

Chi Yao: "Didn't I tell you yesterday? You said it wouldn't be necessary?"

Shi Xing choked and remembered that it was President Ren who wanted him to get close to the people and further publicize his existence.

Shi Xing was speechless.

Chi Yao: "Let's go, this is also a good opportunity to face the public."

"With the media here, they won't take pictures of your face, and the pictures on the Internet will be cleaned up later."

Except for the public who have been paying attention for a long time and know how many people there are in the royal family and what they look like, those who don't pay attention to the imperial politics rarely see their faces. The photos that are too exaggerated to be reposted on the Internet will be cleaned up, and the sporadic ones will be dealt with by the elders within one to two days.

Reducing exposure will help them to be active in the empire, so that they won't be surrounded as soon as they show their faces.

Shi Xing knew the importance of the matter and nodded.

He took a deep breath before getting off the spaceship and put on his best manners.

This time, Shi Xing extended his hand to Chi Yao first.

Chi Yao smiled and shook his hand in return.

The smile was genuine and vivid. The people who were photographed put it on the Star Network. Later, the Council of Elders thought the photo was good and included it in Chi Yao's personal record of the royal family. Of course, this is another story.

Shi Xing and Chi Yao returned to the palace side by side.

It felt different.

Thinking about it carefully, the biggest change compared to the first time he came back under the leadership of Chi Yao was probably his state of mind.

Last time, he was just starting out, and he felt uneasy facing the civil servants in the imperial capital.

This time, he already has the right to speak in the First Legion, and the recognition of the Council of Elders and the Senate. His identity has not changed, but his sense of belonging and confidence are different. The same walking manner is no longer cramped, but a little more relaxed and generous.

It seems that he has always been like this, and should be like this.

It is a positive change.

The moment Shi Xing realized it, he looked at Chi Yao again.

Their gazes stayed fixed for a while, and His Highness actually leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, "What's wrong?"

The movements were very intimate.

The cheers from the crowd exploded, and everyone was making a fuss.

Knowing that it was a formal occasion, Shi Xing was still very calm. When Chi Yao teased him, he said sincerely, "I was thinking, how great it is to meet you. I can't be who I am today without your support." He was extremely

sincere, and there was only Chi Yao in his pair of light blue eyes, as if he wanted to give him his true heart.

Chi Yao and Shi Xing looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help but touch his partner's cheek.

The noise around them became louder, and Chi Yao's throat slid and he looked away.

He was afraid that if he continued to look, he would be trapped by the trap he set, and do something inappropriate, such as kissing his partner.

"Don't we have to stop using honorifics?" Chi Yao asked.

Ever since he went to the border and experienced several life and death situations, Shi Xing used fewer honorifics.

He squeezed Shi Xing's knuckles with his clasped hands.

Chi Yao: "I still prefer you to call me by my name, it won't seem so distant." Shi

Xing readily agreed and said with a smile, "Okay, it's great to meet you, Your Highness."

Bumping into those slightly curved smiling eyes again, Chi Yao could feel his heartbeat quicken a little.

"Remember to say the same thing tonight."

He whispered quickly.

Chi Yao could no longer bear it, and he crossed the line and lifted Shi Xing's hand. He followed his heart and kissed his partner's fingertips.

Shi Xing was stunned.

The noise around them paused, and the next moment, it completely drowned them out.
