Smelling the strong aroma of barbecue, Baizhi's mouth secreted saliva like crazy. She hadn't tasted this for a long time and she missed it very much.
The fragrance filled the entire yard. Yue Junxiao couldn't help but circle around it twice, "Why isn't it healed yet?"
Bai Zhi grabbed him and said, "Stop turning around. You've made me dizzy. I'll be fine soon."
Yue Junxiao was so big that he had to stand beside Bai Zhi with a wronged look on his face.
Wolf Fur kept turning the roasted meat over to ensure that each side was roasted evenly.
Finally, the meat was roasted, but there wasn't even a big enough plate to put it on, so they could only slice some of it and put it on the big plate. Bai Zhi coveted the leg, so she shaved one for her.
But one animal leg was thicker than her own, and she couldn't eat that much. She first separated a part of it and then held it in her arms and chewed it.
Then everyone saw that Bai Zhi was holding a leg that was almost as big as her head and chewing it. Everyone couldn't help but look away and their faces turned red.
Bai Zhi heard some noise and looked up at them with a puzzled expression, "It tastes pretty good, don't you want to eat it? Yue Junxiao, weren't you so greedy just now? Why don't you eat it?"
Yue Junxiao was called out, so he pointed at the hot sauce on Bai Zhi's cheek and said, "Wife, you got hot sauce on your face."
Bai Zhi wiped it with the back of her hand, and the stain immediately got to the back of her hand, but the spot on her cheek also became a large patch.
Langqiu couldn't help but cough while laughing, then took a tissue to wipe the dirt off her face.
Bai Zhi paused at his action, looked up at Lang Qiu's still-unfolded smile, and subconsciously said, "You look pretty when you smile, much prettier than when you're serious. You should smile more."
When Langqiu heard this, the smile on his face froze, "Did I laugh?"
Bai Zhi nodded vigorously, "Yeah."
Yan Yichen also nodded sincerely with his mouth slightly open, "I always thought you couldn't laugh."
Yue Junxiao reached out to grab Langqiu with a smile, but Langqiu dodged. He had already put away the smile on his face and said, "Just talk, don't use force."
Sang Mo glanced at them slightly, then lowered his head and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
At this time in the palace.
As expected, after taking a few bites, the emperor began to inquire, "What exactly happened in that battle? With your abilities, how could you be easily defeated by the Zerg and even be seriously injured?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Leia and Zelda looked towards Hu Yan, and Hu Ao also stopped and listened with his ears perked up.
Hu Yan had no appetite to begin with, so he simply put down his chopsticks. "Someone secretly formed an alliance with the Zerg, and the Zerg have bred a new species that can create illusions, deceive people, and amplify their desires. I later found out that they've spawned a species that can transform into the other's appearance. After these years, they must have made great progress."
The emperor frowned slightly after hearing Hu Yan's words, "Have the Zerg evolved to this level now?"
Hu Yan couldn't help but become more serious when he mentioned the Zerg. "The Zerg reproduces and evolves very quickly. I was seriously injured at the time. To avoid their pursuit and to recover from my injuries, I had no choice but to hide in a relatively remote small galaxy. But some time ago, I encountered Zerg lurking in that small galaxy. I suspect the Zerg may attack soon. It's better for Father to make plans early."
The emperor's expression changed slightly when he heard this. "Are you telling the truth?!"
Hu Ao then realized that Hu Yan had hidden in a remote small star system after being injured. No wonder he had people searching for him for so long but couldn't find him!
The relationship is going in the wrong direction!
Hu Yan nodded seriously, "Absolutely true."
The emperor completely lost his desire to eat. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Hu Yan. He asked solemnly, "Do you have any solutions for those two new Zerg species you just mentioned?"
Hu Yan shook his head. "Not yet, but those with a strong mind can more likely withstand the first type. As for the second type, if you deal with it carefully, you should be able to find a flaw. But if these two are combined..."
Although Hu Yan didn't finish his words, no one present was stupid. On the contrary, each one was smarter than the other. The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became solemn.
This is not just a personal matter, it is a matter for the entire federation!
The Zerg have been active on the border in the past two years, but based on what Hu Yan just said, they must be looking for an opportunity to attack.
Seeing this, Hu Yan offered his own guess, "Although there's indeed no way to deal with these two Zerg species, I suspect they're very rare. Otherwise, they would have attacked in force long ago. Why wait so long?"
The emperor nodded thoughtfully. "You have a point, but now that we know this, we must be prepared. It would be best if we can see if we can defeat these two new types of Zerg."
Zelda quickly asked, "Did you encounter these two types at the beginning?"
When Hu Yan mentioned what happened back then, his expression was more solemn than ever before. "Well, it became my confidant at the time and deceived everyone. But it was indeed because I was not fully prepared that it took advantage of the loophole. By the time I discovered it, it was too late."
Hu Ao immediately grasped the most important point. "So no one betrayed you? The news that came back at the time said that you were betrayed by someone close to you, which led to your defeat against the Zerg."
Hu Yan pursed his lips. "It's true that one of my subordinates betrayed us. He was the one who brought in the Zerg, giving them an opportunity to take advantage. But it was also my negligence that prevented me from noticing this in time. By the time I discovered it, it was already too late, which led to the failure of that battle."
When Queen Leia heard what Hu Yan said, she immediately retorted, "You're not the Beast God. How could you have predicted the emergence of mutant insects in the Zerg?"
The emperor agreed and said, "Your mother is right. You didn't expect the Zerg to have mutants. No matter who it was, it would be unpredictable. If it had been someone else, the losses might have been even more severe."
When Hu Ao spoke, Zelda knew that he definitely had no good intentions, and wanted to interrupt several times, but he was facing the emperor, and he was not arrogant enough to ignore the emperor. Fortunately, the queen spoke in time to clear Hu Yan's name.
Even if he didn't say anything, Hu Yan wouldn't let Hu Ao put the blame on him, but what if he planted suspicion in the emperor's mind?
The emperor suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, where is the person who saved you? After all, he saved you, so we should show our appreciation. Does he want a house, star coins, or something else? We can satisfy him."
Queen Leia also said: "Yes, as long as it is not excessive, we can satisfy him. Your life is much more valuable than those material possessions."
