Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Vest King Dad 20
003 and 004 were the first to react, excitedly following Zhuozhuo, almost shouting, "Little Master, let's go! Si Hao is a dog that can't be changed!"
Si Hao couldn't believe it. He called out to Zhuo Zhuo, who was being carried to the bedroom by 9972. He looked a little dreamy and said softly, "Then I'll have the spaceship continue to fly to the capital planet?"
Zhuozhuo lay on 9972's shoulder and nodded sleepily.
"No Huichun and Xing, and no Sun Sirui?"
"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Zhuozhuo was so sleepy that he nodded randomly and didn't hear what Si Hao said at all.
Si Hao walked over, pinched Zhuozhuo's ear, took her from 9972, and whispered, "You've chosen this, so you don't want anyone else and you want me to be your father?"
Zhuozhuo didn't answer this time. She fell asleep. She waved her hand as if she was annoyed by the noise, and with a snap, it was finally quiet.
Si Hao caught the little hand that was patting his face and gently placed it on Zhuo Zhuo's belly. He put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. He sat by the bed and watched her for a long time before leaving.
The optical computer flashed, and a top-priority message popped up: "After comparison, no individual matching the characteristics of 'Number Six' has been found among humans. Should we expand the search range?"
Si Hao's eyes darkened as he deleted the message. 003 and 004 followed him. "Master, what are you doing?"
"It's okay." Si Hao said this, but he vigilantly asked 004 to check the surveillance in the corridor. After seeing his actions of checking the light computer, he asked 003 to check the light computer, but no abnormal data was found.
"Okay, it's okay."
[Okay, I'll go back and keep my little master company.]
It was a perfectly normal conversation, but 9972 sensed something was amiss. Even if there were no unusual data, hadn't 003 and Si Hao let their guard down so easily? It had just seen 003 and 004 suddenly leave, and out of curiosity, it had paid attention. It might as well have ignored it. This scene seemed to have touched upon some secret, but it had no clue what it was.
But 9972 would never tell Zhuozhuo about this, leaving him to investigate. It didn't even bother to check on Si Hao, not even asking if he'd checked the message. Meddling leads to a quick death.
Reserve some fine for yourself, and 9972 returned to Zhuo Zhuo's mind.
Life on the spaceship was peaceful. Zhuozhuo slept when she was full, played when she woke up, and ate when she was tired. Si Hao was by her side almost every time she was awake. He was interested in cultivating a father-daughter relationship with Zhuozhuo, and seemed to have specially studied it. Every step was very planned. He not only accompanied her, but also took her to play games, explore new things, and meet new people.
Everyone on the spaceship knew that Si Hao had changed his personality as if he had been possessed by another body. He was no longer a big devil, but a novice dad who was obsessed with taking care of children.
"Si Hao, Uncle Darcy brought a gift to Zhuo Zhuo."
Zhuozhuo sat among a pile of toys, carefully comparing several puzzle pieces with the originals. She noticed someone squatting next to her. Without even looking up, she said, "On the sofa, little doll."
Si Hao glanced at the sofa and saw a small, pink doll in a beautifully packaged box. It had a large head, a small body, and limbs like toothpicks. It was a popular dress-up doll among little girls on the Capital Planet, but Zhuo Zhuo didn't like it. Zhuo Zhuo had a similar doll, a gift from Si Hao. It also wore a large pink dress, but its body was well-proportioned, with chubby arms and legs, looking cute and healthy.
Si Hao used his mental power to have 004 find out who gave the doll to him. He smiled and said to Zhuo Zhuo, "If you don't want to play with it, have 003 put it in the warehouse or throw it away."
Zhuozhuo stood up and put down a puzzle piece. He looked at Si Hao and said distressedly, "Zhuozhuo doesn't like it, but Uncle Darcy insisted on giving it to him. And the previous gift, uncle and aunt insisted on giving it to him. Zhuozhuo said no, but they didn't listen. They put it down and ran away. Zhuozhuo couldn't catch up."
"From now on, you don't have to accept anything you don't want to. If they don't listen to Zhuozhuo, let 004 talk to them." Si Hao rubbed Zhuozhuo's little head, hiding the murderous look in his eyes, and said indulgently and lovingly: "Zhuozhuo, you are my daughter. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do."
"I know."
Zhuozhuo shook off Si Hao's hand and said childishly, "You are so powerful now, you might even become the emperor, and everyone will want to please you. But you are too fierce, and others are afraid of you, so they come to please Zhuozhuo. When Zhuozhuo receives a gift, it's called "Shou, Shou..."
Zhuozhuo couldn't think of the "bribe" at the end, so he simply stopped thinking about it and lowered his head to put the puzzle together seriously.
Si Hao knew that all of this was analyzed by 9972 for Zhuozhuo. He glanced at the 9972 housekeeping robot with an ambiguous expression and said to Zhuozhuo, "How clever! No matter who I am, Zhuozhuo doesn't have to do things he doesn't like because of me, nor does he have to give up things he likes because of me. You can do whatever you want, and even if you get into trouble, I can handle it."
Zhuozhuo suddenly looked up at Si Hao, threw away the puzzle and threw himself into his arms, his bright eyes full of sly smiles, "Zhuozhuo knows, you are the head of the Xiong family."
"Um?"
Zhuozhuo then shook his head and explained what naughty children and naughty parents were, which made Si Hao laugh non-stop and praise him repeatedly, "Baby, you know a lot. I will ask you if I don't understand something in the future."
"Sure, Zhuozhuo is the teacher and you are the student." Zhuozhuo stepped back a few steps and came out of Si Hao's arms. He stood up straight and said with a smile, "Hello, classmate Si Hao, we are here for class."
"Hello, Teacher Zhuozhuo, what are we going to learn in this class?" Si Hao cooperated very well and sat on Zhuozhuo's small elephant stool with his hands behind his back. He really looked like a well-behaved student.
On the morning the spaceship arrived at the capital's Star Airport, Zhuozhuo was half asleep and brushing her teeth when 9972 said to her in her mind: "Baby, the imperial family is gone. From the old emperor to the princes and princesses, they're all dead."
"Ah?" Zhuozhuo was still a little confused, looking at himself in the mirror with half-open eyes.
Since the royal family's misdeeds were publicized, the people of the Empire have been outraged. They've demanded the emperor abdicate, publicly apologize, and compensate the victims. Some radical individuals have even attempted to assassinate members of the royal family. Of course, some have also fanned the flames and taken advantage of the situation. After being attacked several times, the old emperor, having narrowly escaped death, grew frightened and decided to take refuge with his children in the Brand System. Unexpectedly, their spaceship crashed, and everyone on board perished.
This was just superficial news. The truth was, a military force disguised as a mob broke into the palace and massacred the old emperor. He fled in panic but died before boarding his spaceship. To disassociate himself from the incident, they placed the emperor's body and the remaining princes and princesses, both dead and alive, aboard the spaceship. Following its planned trajectory, the spaceship was sucked into a black hole, and the entire royal family vanished.
Of course, 9972 was so excited not because a country in a small world had collapsed, but because the third prince, Joshua, was the one who would take advantage of Si Hao's achievements in the plot. Of course, he was nothing special, just a bit lucky. Although he successfully became emperor during the evolution process, he was eventually beheaded by the Federation and presented to Si Hao as a token of loyalty.
Only now, his death was earlier and more ordinary, and he had no luck at all.
But in the end, 9972 didn't tell Zhuo Zhuo about these things. It just sighed: "Si Hao is really quick."
At this rate, the mission will be completed soon.
9972's confidence wasn't due to Si Hao's deep feelings for Zhuozhuo, enough to make him willing to sacrifice everything for her. It was because he was preoccupied with fighting for custody and raising the child. His days were filled with activity, so why would he expose himself out of boredom? 9972 was thinking: once Si Hao had driven away the Zerg and unified humanity, he would let Zhuozhuo take Si Hao to live on a primitive planet, allowing him to experience the wonderful life of raising a child himself, taking care of everything from food, clothing, and shelter.
Thinking about it this way, this small world would likely require Zhuozhuo to reside there for at least twenty years. 9972 found the "Application for Extension of Mission Period" in the database and decided that once Zhuozhuo grew up, it would use props to create a child based on her, and then take Zhuozhuo away from the small world, leaving Si Hao to despair while investigating the identity of the wild man, mourning his daughter, and raising his granddaughter. Hehe.
Zhuozhuo had the skilled 9972 housekeeping robot comb her hair, and then had Si Hao carry her to dinner. After she was full, she heard him say, "Zhuozhuo, we'll be arriving at the Capital Star at noon. The Capital Star is my place, so don't be afraid or nervous when you meet people. If anyone makes you uncomfortable, have 003 drive them away. Tell me again, and I'll help you vent your anger."
"Okay."
Zhuozhuo didn't take it seriously, just played and ate. At noon, he felt sleepy and Si Hao took him to bed. When Zhuozhuo was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered, "Are we at Star Harbor?"
"Well, you can get off the spaceship when you wake up."
Zhuozhuo shook his head, humming and arching his body to lie in Sihao's arms. He tried to keep his hazy eyes open and said softly, "Let's go to your house and sleep."
Si Hao's heart softened, and he took Zhuo Zhuo's words at face value. He wrapped her in a blanket, carried her to a door she had never seen open, and whispered to her, "Go to sleep if you want."
As she finished speaking, Zhuozhuo felt a mental barrier envelop her, instantly muffling even the slightest sound from the outside world. She poked at the barrier, her swollen mind realizing that she was about to face something unusual.
Then she would no longer be sleepy.
Zhuozhuo's hazy eyes were bright and sharp as she watched the cabin door open. Si Hao carried her down the gangway and saw a large crowd of people waiting below.
Some people were terrified and restrained, while others had burning eyes and excited expressions, as if they were welcoming a god. When they noticed the small ball in Si Hao's arms, even though they had already known the news through their own channels, they were still shocked and curious, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Then I saw a chubby little hand coming out of the swaddling clothes that was wrapped tightly with only a gap left for air to flow. The little hand lifted the blanket, revealing a delicate and beautiful little face.
Zhuozhuo saw the situation clearly below and shrank back nervously in front of so many people. A large hand gently patted her. She looked up and met Sihao's encouraging and soothing eyes. Her emotions immediately dissipated. She looked down again, waved her hand, and with a childish smile, she said softly, "Hello, I'm Zhuozhuo."
"Oh, angel!"
Someone cried out, their mouths covered by the person nearby, but everyone who heard them internally agreed. Admiral Si's daughter looked nothing like him, soft and adorable, with a sweet smile. Sure enough, she wasn't his biological daughter, but the daughter of the young widow he was pursuing. Originally, the people of the Capital Star didn't believe either rumor, but after meeting the person involved, they readily accepted the more outrageous one.
Zhuozhuo didn't know that in just a few glances, she had become a hostage in the love story of her parents that everyone imagined - in ancient times, Cao Mengde held the emperor hostage to control the princes, and now Si Hao held Zhuozhuo hostage to treat the young widow/husband.
Si Hao was talking to two men in military uniforms. Because of the mental barrier, Zhuo Zhuo couldn't hear the sounds outside, so she stared at the top of everyone's heads. After a while, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.
When Zhuo Zhuo woke up, she found herself lying in bed with three housekeeping robots guarding the bed. She blinked and asked, "Where's Si Hao?"
[Young Master, Si Hao is at the military headquarters. I have informed him that you have woken up. He will be back in twenty minutes.]
"Is Si Hao busy?" Zhuozhuo rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his face and sat up. Thinking of the scene in Starry Sky Harbor, he felt that Si Hao would be very busy. After all, so many people were looking for him, and it would take a long time for each person to say a word.
[Zhuozhuo, now that you're awake, he'll be less busy.] 004 said.
Zhuozhuo chuckled, "Bear robot."
She rolled around in bed and stayed there for a while before getting up. Before she could wipe her face, she heard Si Hao's footsteps, "Zhuo Zhuo."
"You're back, so soon." Zhuozhuo looked at Si Hao with sparkling eyes and said in a baby voice, "Zhuozhuo didn't see you when I woke up. I missed you a little."
Si Hao's smile widened, and he walked over to hug Zhuo Zhuo, "I miss Zhuo Zhuo too."
"33 said you went to the military. Are you going to work there? Are you tired?" Zhuozhuo asked with concern.
"Not tired." Si Hao put Zhuozhuo on the bed and put socks and shoes on her. "This is our residence on the Capital Star, our home. If there's anything Zhuozhuo isn't used to, just tell me and 003004. We can change anything you're not used to or don't like."
Zhuozhuo thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's a habit in the bedroom. I haven't seen other places yet, so I don't know."
"Okay, Zhuozhuo, eat first. After dinner, let's go look around." Si Hao said casually, "In the evening, we'll go to the banquet. Wood, No. 2, and Yi Fangzhou will also be there. Zhuozhuo, try to see if you can recognize them."
Zhuozhuo remembered these three names, which were Si Hao's other three identities. She looked puzzled and said, "How long will the banquet last? Will you be exhausted if you keep changing identities?"
"Guess." Si Hao said mysteriously, "They won't appear one by one, but all at once."
