Chapter 59
Yael's treatment was soon over and he was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
The hospital was extremely reluctant to part with the S-rank His Majesty, but under the pressure from the Admiral, he still obediently completed the treatment and was sent to the hospital gate by the male insect.
"Your Majesty, come back if you need it. The hospital will reimburse you unconditionally!"
"I really can't bear to part with it..."
The military suspension vehicle stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Because the modified vehicle was designed to be very high, Yael was hugged by the waist by Caesar and was about to be carried up. Hearing this, he turned around and smiled, "Goodbye."
This laugh silenced the swarm of insects in front of the hospital for a moment, and then a louder roar broke out. However, considering the stern-looking female soldier next to them, they did not dare to shout too loudly.
Xize exerted force and pushed the male insect in his arms onto the seat, then stepped neatly on the edge and sat down.
The door was slammed shut, blocking out the noisy sounds outside.
This car is self-driving and appears to be more advanced and sophisticated than other general suspended vehicles. Its exterior is plain except for being painted in camouflage green, but its interior looks like a small mecha control room.
Yael sat upright in his chair, feeling a little awkward for once.
He was so excited about the long-awaited reunion that he subconsciously ignored the change in his identity. It was not until this moment that he clearly realized that the poor little female insect at home had become an admiral of the empire, holding a high position and enormous power.
"Retreat, stay alert."
A cold command came from the side, the tone was low and calm, and it seemed particularly majestic. Without looking, one could tell that the expression on that face must be cold and stern, with a wrinkle between the brows.
Normally, the female insect spoke to him in a different tone, with a slightly rising ending and a much softer voice. He thought that this was how female insects always spoke.
This feels a little... strange.
Yael stared at his hands on his knees in a daze.
But soon, the female insect's steady breathing, breath and body temperature clearly penetrated the obstruction of air and fabric.
That breath gradually filled most of the space in the car, filling every breath, and it was a familiarity and security that made him unconsciously relax.
Yael glanced to the left cautiously, but happened to meet a pair of golden eyes looking at him, and quickly turned his eyes back.
Caught peeking.
"My Lord, what's wrong?"
Xi Ze turned off the communicator and put it aside, then leaned forward slightly to look at the male insect's expression, but he could not see anything from that face.
A low and soft voice rang in my ears, making half of my body numb.
Yael resisted the urge to rub his ears and coughed softly, "It's okay."
The male insect seems a little uncomfortable. Is it because of him?
Or more precisely, because he was issuing orders in this uniform?
Some lower-ranking male insects, due to some kind of inferiority complex, will feel obvious displeasure and backstab when female insects show strong ability, desire for control or ambition.
Cize knew that the male insect in front of him would never have that kind of mentality, but he was also afraid that Yael would not like him like this. After all, he was tougher and more fierce than before, and he easily felt pressured and uncomfortable.
The previous worries... turned out to be not without reason.
Thinking of this, he got down from his seat and half-knelt, but suddenly a hand pressed his forehead.
"What are you doing?"
Yael looked at him in confusion, not knowing what the female insect had thought of in such a short time.
Even though they have been together for a long time and have even talked about many things, there are still many times when his and the female insect's brain circuits cannot communicate with each other.
But different social environments foster different ways of thinking, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Yael pressed the female insect's shoulders hard and pulled him towards himself. The distance between them was shortened instantly, and they sat close to each other in a row.
"Where are you going next? You should have a place to stay on the main planet, right?"
He skillfully brushed past the confusing topic, and with a glimpse of the rapidly receding scenery outside, he suddenly felt a little worried.
Xi Ze also put the previous episode behind him and explained in a serious tone.
"Yes, the residence where I died was not taken away by the royal family. It was just sealed off. Maybe they thought it would be turned into a tourist attraction in the future. But I didn't expect that I would be back only five years later."
Yael raised his eyebrows slightly and almost laughed out loud because of this statement.
Is it a place like Xxun or Xshe's former residence? If the female insect comes back two years later, she will have to buy a ticket to go home.
Adult tickets are 120 Star Coins, student tickets are 100 Star Coins, and baby tickets are 80 Star Coins.
But somehow, Yael understood the terrifying influence and credibility of the female insect in front of him, and spoke to him seriously face to face.
"Fortunately, the Zerg people don't believe in superstition, otherwise I might see you in shops on the streets and on the doors of residential houses."
Xi Ze looked at him blankly, obviously not getting what the male insect was saying, but still smiled.
"Then let's go home now."
*
Although Yael knew that female insects had a high status and their living place would definitely not be bad, he was still a little stunned when he arrived at the destination.
"Is that the one?"
Yael pointed to the high-tech villa in the middle of the distance and made a bold guess.
"This area is connected to the ones next to it, and the ones over there... but the one in the middle is definitely where people usually live."
The female insect held my finger and made a big circle from left to right starting from the most impressive-looking building, and also circled the endless areas around it.
Yael widened his eyes slightly, and after countless words circled around his lips, he finally swallowed them.
"It was really unfair for you to live with me in Etal's little house before."
But a touch of warmth was imprinted on the earlobe, and a low and pleasant voice rang close to the ear, like a subtle and restrained act of coquettishness.
"I won't feel wronged. It's good to be with the Lord."
Although it's not something worth mentioning, Cesar actually wanted to show Yael his former residence...it was just a very subtle feeling of joy.
"Let's go in and take a look, shall we?"
When we got closer, we realized that the building was more majestic and taller than we had imagined. There was a faint hint of a translucent protective shield surrounding it. When the suspended vehicle in, we could see the guards patrolling back and forth.
The car stopped in front of the middle villa. Caesar got out first, walked around to the other side, opened the door, and held out his hand to Yael, "Be careful."
"Thank you."
Yael said thank you briefly, held the female insect's hand, and was taken off the suspension vehicle.
"I have entered your iris and fingerprints into the intelligent system. Your permissions are ranked first. You can enter and exit any place at will and open every room inside... It's all up to you."
Caesar led him to the door that slid open automatically, talking as he walked.
"Actually, this property isn't the best, but the Lord has said before that he doesn't like staying in places with lots of insects. The environment here is much quieter than other places."
"Normally, there are only the Lord and I here. The patrol team responsible for security will not come near here. The professional teams responsible for other matters such as medical care and cooking live farther away. You can call them when you need them."
Just then, a round household machine slid over and took out a pair of yellow duck slippers from its belly. Yael quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head to change his shoes.
Because one of his legs was shaky, Caesar took the opportunity to grab Yael's hand.
He smiled and said after the male insect had stomped on the cute little yellow duck that he had prepared specially for him.
"Let me show you around first."
Suddenly remembering something, Xi Ze changed direction, led the male insect forward for a distance, walked around the tall green plants, and entered the spacious hall.
Yael noticed the movement in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at first glance.
A very familiar round figure was standing there stupidly with a mop in its hand. Several CDs with small wings were flying around it, hitting its silver belly with a clattering sound.
"What are you doing? Don't disturb 015 mopping the floor!"
The little robot butler stood with his hands on his hips, and an angry expression appeared on the brand new screen.
But this was obviously of no use. The discs seemed to be teasing it, being pushed away and then stuck forward, until they were stuffed high into the stomach of the annoyed 015.
"015!"
Hearing the familiar voice, it froze for a moment, then turned its head sharply after it reacted, almost snapping the newly replaced wire, "?!!"
It threw away the mop and flew into Yael's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest. It stretched out its long mechanical arms and hugged the male insect, making a whimpering sound.
"Master, you are here too! 015 I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much... wuwuwuwuwuwu..."
Xi Ze made room for them to hug each other, tapped 015's new head and explained.
"015 has been given a new body. Its original program was too old, and it was a bit troublesome to completely update it while retaining its personality and memories, but it was successful in the end."
Hearing this, Yael breathed a sigh of relief and put down the little robot butler that was stuck in his arms, "I'm glad you're okay."
015 happily showed his new equipment to the male insect, "This is the latest energy storage! It can be used for at least 50 years after being charged once. No need to charge it all the time!"
"There are also infinitely extendable robotic arms and jet accelerators..."
Xiaotu·015·Baozi, who has never seen anything good since it came out of the factory, exaggeratedly concluded, "It's really, really cool!"
Yael smiled faintly and patted its head. "It's really amazing. You go sweep the floor. Caesar and I will walk around here."
015 just remembered that he was mopping the floor halfway through, and slid away again, "Okay!"
The optical disc that was originally spinning quietly slid over from the edge of the balcony and stopped at Yael's feet. "? What is this?"
"This is a small flying machine for transportation. It has a good load-bearing capacity. You can use it for daily transportation. The villa is too big and you will get tired just walking."
So big that it needs a flying machine to get around...?
Yael's eyes trembled for a moment. He looked at the female insect's calm expression, coughed softly, and swallowed his sigh.
015 is a little bumpkin, he is a big bumpkin, they are just as good.
"Can we just step on it? Will it be unstable?"
He stepped on it hesitantly, and the disc-like flying device was immediately activated. Two blue lights lit up along the edge, and soon it changed into a rectangle, holding him up steadily.
Caesar took his hand and walked forward a few steps. The flying machine under his feet flapped its invisible small wings and moved along with him, very smoothly.
"It is driven by mental power. The male master can try to connect its wings with mental power, and then he can change the shape and control the speed as he wishes."
But after Yael did as he was told, the elf suddenly froze, and instantly cracked into two pieces, falling from the sky -
“?!!”
Xi Ze was also startled, and suddenly reached out to grab the male insect into his arms. After staring at each other for a while, they looked at the wreckage of the aircraft and a little yellow duck slipper that fell with it.
Yael looked a little guilty, "Ah, I'm sorry..."
Summoning another flying machine, Caesar placed the male insect on it, bent down, picked up the slipper and helped Yael put it on.
"It's okay, but it only needs a little bit of mental strength, otherwise it won't be able to bear it."
This little incident did not disrupt the tour plan, but it made Yael relax a little. He was no longer restrained and soon mastered the method of flying the aircraft.
When he found that the aircraft could extend buckles to secure its feet when it was hanging upside down, Yael exclaimed and turned 360 degrees in the spacious hall, "Look!"
“That’s amazing.”
Caesar helped him push aside the clothes that were hanging down after he fell over, revealing his eyes and face, and there was a tolerant and gentle smile in his voice.
"In the past half month, a special bug has updated this place. Because it is directly connected to the Empire's latest technology research and development institute, some things are more difficult to use. You can ask the intelligent computer."
As if catching the key words, a golden halo lit up on the snow-white wall, like a star, and then a voice suddenly rang out -
[Yes, the AI is always at your service, Your Majesty Yael.]
It turns out there is a highly intelligent creature.
Yael leaned back and coughed modestly, "We have almost finished looking around here, let's move on."
There is an elevator installed next to the lobby, which can lead directly to each floor, which is very convenient.
Yael noticed that the female insect's fingers swept across the lower floors and directly lit up the button for the fifth floor. "Is there anything on the fifth floor?"
Before the female insect could answer, the elevator had already reached its destination. The doors slid open to both sides, revealing the scene outside.
Xi Ze suddenly coughed, seemed a little embarrassed, and lowered his eyes and said, "...This is the master bedroom."
Yael was stunned for a moment, jumped off the aircraft, and took a few tentative steps inside.
This floor is the master bedroom, which is very spacious but the interior decoration is very simple.
The main colors are black and white, which is in line with the cold and neat style of the female insect, and there is almost no warmth of the bedroom.
But if you look closely, you can still find traces of life, such as a military jacket hanging on the closet, a glass on the table, and a square fridge magnet on the refrigerator... These small details are like hidden Easter eggs, waiting to be discovered by another pair of eyes.
Continuing deeper into the room is the central area of the master bedroom, where a large and soft bed is the only bright spot in the room.
"Why did you bring this back?"
Yael looked a little surprised and picked up the familiar long puppy pillow.
The blood stains that were accidentally stained have been cleaned, and the puppy pillow exudes the scent of sunshine and aromatherapy, which is particularly clean and smells good.
“Because you gave it to me.”
Xi Ze said softly, looking intently at the male insect playing with the pillow for a long time.
"How about this room? Can you sleep here tonight?"
He hesitated for a long time and still did not directly invite the male insect to sleep with him, but he could not help but hint at it.
"I can stay in the guest bedroom on the fourth floor... but the rooms nearby haven't been cleaned yet, so they might not be very clean."
In fact, it has been completely renovated and cleaned from the inside out, but the cleaning machine will not defend itself, so it can only take the blame invisibly.
The female insect's thoughts were obvious. Although she probably didn't want to get serious in front of him, it was precisely this kind of awkwardness and subtlety that made it fun to tease her.
"Is that so?"
Yael's eyes flickered and he deliberately lengthened the sound of "hmm" with a thoughtful look on his face.
"But I think the cleaning machines here are quite advanced and should be able to clean a room in a day."
"That's true... Then let the housekeeping machine clean that place tonight."
The female insect in front of him was stunned for a moment, a trace of disappointment flashed across her expression, but after a long silence, she suggested, "But the guest bedroom is so far away, I can sleep on the sofa outside tonight."
Is it too far from the master bedroom, or too far from myself?
Yael raised his eyebrows slightly, admitting that he was aroused by the unconscious forbearance and dependence. After gritting his teeth, he pushed the long puppy pillow into the female insect's arms.
"I lied to you."
He leaned over and kissed the tip of the female insect's nose. "Why are you so easy to deceive?"
After getting the consent to sleep together and a soothing kiss, Caesar closed his eyes contentedly, put his hands on the male insect's waist, and allowed the male insect to rub his face randomly.
"Just to trick you."
He laughed intermittently, his voice slightly hoarse, and fell back onto the bed under the pressure of Yael, allowing the male insect to sit astride his waist and abdomen.
The warm yellow light shone from behind Yael, outlining a clean, dim and dim outline. Only the light in the pair of dark eyes could be seen, with an intimate and soft smile.
Xi Ze couldn't help but shudder, feeling the silent but violent roar in his heart.
In the gap between the closed eyes to cater to the kiss, he slightly closed his eyes and murmured almost in a whisper, "Only for your deception."
…
After lingering in the master bedroom for a while, Yer was taken to the sixth floor of the villa. Unlike the huge bedroom that led to the entrance, this floor looked professional and mysterious.
Behind the elevator is a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, you can see a large silver door with no handle or lock, only two "eyes" outlined by darker silver lines.
"This is the study. You can try to open the door using your iris."
Xi Ze moved aside.
Yael aimed his eyes at the center of the "eye", and instantly four holes appeared there. After scanning the iris, it beeped and slowly opened to both sides.
“……?!”
The next second, Yael's pupils trembled when he saw the scene inside.
This is a study?!
This is basically a national-level library, right?!
The huge silver display screen on the bookshelf wall was densely numbered and divided into sections in a very regular pattern. The translucent data stream flashed with a subtle luster, like a pouring galaxy.
Books and information in the interstellar age are mostly stored on chip cards. Although paper books are also available, they are no longer mainstream.
The microchip greatly reduced the space required for book collection. Combined with the vast library in front of us, it is no exaggeration to say that all the books and materials in the empire are stored here.
And it seems that some kind of black technology was used to extend the area. The space inside is much larger than a simple one-story villa. If you don’t have a flying vehicle, you might get lost inside and not be able to get out for an entire afternoon.
"This is the book collection area, over there is the dedicated office area, and also..."
A display screen appeared around the body, showing the internal layout in all directions through the female insect's fingers.
Yer looked carefully several times before he finally figured out which area entrance he was at.
"Can I take a closer look?"
Yael's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked at Cizek with bright eyes, almost unable to suppress his excitement.
"Of course."
Xi Ze crooked his eyes and watched the male insect whizzing the aircraft closer to the book wall.
"There are some very valuable and rare books in the Z section on the far right. You may be interested in them."
“Beep beep.”
But the computer on his wrist suddenly made a sound. He looked away and frowned when he saw the name on the call.
"There really is such a book! I couldn't find it before..."
Yael was sliding the display screen and maneuvering the aircraft to rise into the air to browse the different divided areas. He came to his senses when he heard the female insect calling him.
He turned his head and saw the female insect trotting towards him, then he controlled the aircraft to land on the ground, "What's wrong?"
Xize looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know what to say, "Master, that..."
Yael glanced at his lighted computer and understood immediately, "Are you busy?"
"yes."
Xi Ze whispered, "It happened suddenly. I'm really sorry. I should have been with you today."
"It's okay, go ahead. I'll look around by myself later. If there's anything I don't understand, I can just ask the AI."
It is certain that this position is busy, and Yael understands this very well. He was just a school student before, but after entering research institutes and other institutions, he still had to work 996 and 007, and he was almost killed by sudden death again.
As an admiral of the Empire, Xize is probably a hundred times busier than that and won't have much time to accompany him. He doesn't know if he will have the chance to live a leisurely life like on the planet Etal again.
"By the way, are there any places or files here that cannot be touched? For example, encrypted files or something like that."
Yael suddenly said.
Xi Ze was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, and his eyes softened.
"The information that cannot be disclosed is stored in the base. You can look through the things in the study at will. It doesn't matter."
"I understand. Go ahead and have a safe journey."
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
Yael waved and watched him walk quickly out the door.
…
A military floating vehicle was parked at the gate.
Caesar opened the door and got in the car. Bai Lang, who was in the driver's seat, started the engine while reporting the situation.
"Today is the deadline. If you don't go to see His Majesty, those bugs in the parliament will find an excuse to impeach you."
"Got it. I'll schedule it until 7pm and try to finish it early."
Xize woke up the computer and started processing the mails in batches. At the same time, he listened to Bai Lang's reports and issued new orders from time to time.
The suspended vehicle drove into the base unimpeded.
*
After the female insect left, Yael stayed in the study for a while, and couldn't help but visit all the places he had not visited before.
The villa is very big, but not too big. After all, it is for living, not a living room for playing golf.
Although he needed a flying vehicle for transportation, he had a low-key and luxurious large bedroom, a study room with a collection of books comparable to that of a library, several mecha simulation rooms and training rooms, a huge planetary observatory... and even an entire insect garden with no end in sight.
It should be ok...right?
Yael tried hard to convince himself, but his expression was solemn for a moment, and he couldn't help but cover his face and groan.
"Help - why do I feel like I'm living off of someone else?"
I also remembered the female insect in the press conference, dressed neatly in a military uniform, with a handsome and cold face under the brim of her hat, which shocked all kinds of praying mouths and minds at a single glance.
This is just the surface of what the female insects show. In such a short period of time, they seize power to the utmost, without giving any insects time to react.
This extremely simple yet iron-clad result is enough to reveal the unfathomable cunning of the leopard and make even those who know the truth shudder.
Yael understood it, but he didn't feel much fear. He even missed a beat because of this side of the female insect that was rarely revealed.
Knowing that he was probably getting deeper and deeper into trouble, he didn't struggle much, and just let his dirty heart hit his chest again and again, a trace of heat spreading to his red ears.
"This soft rice seems to have a bit of fragrance."
Finally, Yael came full circle.
On the way, I was a little tempted by the huge observatory, but after looking at the time, I went back to the study.
Although there were reasons for this, he still felt a little guilty for having pigeonholed Adelaide for so long. He felt that this science geek would explode... It was a bit scary.
…
Admiral's Office.
The surveillance in the villa is connected to the optical computer, and the camera keeps switching to follow the male insect.
On the screen, Yael made the aircraft a little bigger, put a soft pillow on it, sat on it with his legs crossed, and wandered around the villa with the toy-like little aircraft.
Whether it was the way he looked up at the interior of the villa, or the way his expression changed when he saw something he liked or something strange, it was all so adorable that Xi Ze could hardly take his eyes away.
Maybe it was because of the numbness from sitting cross-legged for too long, Yael bent one leg and stepped on the edge, while the other calf hung down and dangled, with his cheek supported and his eyes staring blankly.
Just like a cat in its nest, it stretches out its tail and swings it leisurely and nonchalantly, but it makes the keeper who has no choice but to stay outside it itchy and he can't wait to go back and fill his belly.
Xi Ze couldn't help but smiled silently, clicked on the record button to save the video, and continued to look through the documents on the table without closing the computer.
The camera will automatically capture Yael's presence, and the shots from different angles will show different things, recording all the male insect's various expressions.
The afterglow was filled with the cute movements of the male insects, making these tedious and boring tasks seem much more pleasing to the eye.
But thinking of the group of people in the parliament and the military who were eyeing him covetously, his eyes gradually turned cold.
An S-rank male insect is like a piece of tender, bleeding meat, which will surely attract countless greedy wolves and leopards that are salivating over it, as well as endless filthy mosquitoes and flies.
It doesn't matter...
Cize poked Yael's profile on the screen with his fingertips. The male insect puffed up one cheek as if it sensed something, frowned slightly in distress, and watched the calculations in the optical computer intently.
He would protect Yael, even if it cost him his life.
The author has something to say:
Cat, come back to the nest! (Inspecting the territory...)
Poverty limits the author's imagination
