Chapter 71 Cold Blood x Hot Blood
"Qi Sheng, I don't know who spread the rumor that Antia slaughtered mermaids at will and that the mermaid population in our country is inferior. These remarks..."
"Many of the cooperation procedures submitted by Antia are stuck with the King. I have asked local officials to explain this to the Parliament. You may need to make some time to come back."
Zhai Wenxi suddenly changed his tone: "There's no rush. I'll find out the situation here first, and you can come back next week."
With the phone pressed to his ear, Qi Sheng's gaze was still fixed on the ceiling, but a cold fire gradually ignited in his originally lifeless eyes.
Zhai Wenxi's voice was soothing, but it seemed a little redundant to his ears.
"What about the mermaid card process?" Qi Sheng smiled bitterly for a moment, a cruel look in his eyes, "Then let the parliament give an explanation. If they are unwilling to export the raw materials for making weapons, then we can only rob them."
"Rob???"
Zhai Wenxi paused, a hint of disbelief in his voice. "Qi Sheng, don't be impulsive. There's no need to make a fuss like this. I will explain it to the parliament..."
"Wenxi." Qi Sheng interrupted him, his tone a bit destructive and crazy, "My brother's grave is almost fully grown. You know, I don't have that much time."
He thought of his brother Qi Feng dying in the artillery fire of the Saar Federation, and his heart felt like it was being cut repeatedly by a blunt knife.
"Wenxi, I don't want to play house with them or talk about cooperation. I want the Sar Federation, the country that once had the surname Qi, to return to me intact."
"So, I need a weapon."
Zhai Wenxi on the other end of the phone fell silent.
He knew how deep Qi Sheng's obsession with his brother was, and he also knew that Qi Sheng had been forbearing for all these years because he wanted to take back the Sar Federation.
"As for those who spread rumors, and His Majesty the Mermaid who blocked the process..."
Qi Sheng lowered his voice even more, "Whoever dares to stand in my way will disappear."
"You should have a good rest first. I will try my best to solve it and reply to you tomorrow." Zhai Wenxi comforted him a few more words before daring to hang up the phone.
Zhai Wenxi always felt that something was wrong. Why was there such a strong atmosphere towards Qi Sheng today?
But this is the Independent Kingdom of Xisana, not Antia, and he must do everything according to the rules of the Independent Kingdom of Xisana.
He had just given a gift to his partner, and one of the other party's core members promised to explain the rumors for Antia in the parliament.
However, the parliament only meets once a month, so the earliest the process can be advanced is early next month.
But judging from Qi Sheng's expression, if he doesn't get the response he wants in the next few days, he might resort to armed attack.
Qi Sheng privately trained a group of mercenaries, and those people's martial arts were definitely not for show.
If he was really pushed into a corner, Qi Sheng would definitely take people to sneak into the palace and put guns to the heads of parliament members to force them to sign a contract.
But doing so is too risky. If something goes wrong, Qi Sheng will die here.
What can I do now to see the parliament members as soon as possible?
Zhai Wenxi thought about it and thought of a person, his uncle, Zhai Xun.
Back then, Zhai Xun had close contacts with the royal family of Xisana. The former king was even willing to marry the princess to Zhai Xun. On the surface, it was to promote cooperation, but in fact it was to build a community of interests.
Although the king has now abdicated, Zhai Xun must still have many connections in parliament.
Ask him to intervene and maybe he can approve their procurement process.
"It seems that I can only try to find my uncle."
Zhai Wenxi held the phone in his hand, and suddenly his mind flashed back to some of the scenes he had seen when he went to the Saar Federation not long ago.
Ever since the Saar Federation was occupied by the Free Alliance, the once tall buildings have become ruins, and factories have ceased operations...
Many people fled to pacifist countries to save their lives.
Those who stayed behind were either old, sick, or unable to escape;
Either they have a life-transcending attachment to their homeland;
Or maybe they were locked down for a while and couldn't escape...
And a top wealthy businessman like Zhai Xun actually chose to stay.
Later, he took those who were willing to stay, flattened the abandoned factory buildings, plowed the cracked land, and launched the agricultural plan of "returning farmland to forest and grassland."
Using a simple drip irrigation system to address water shortages, and choosing a mix of drought-tolerant grains and fast-growing grasses to feed livestock and improve the soil...
They also organized people to raise bees and collect honey, plant fruit trees, and set up an ecological agricultural industry chain, creating a vibrant scene on the ruins.
Zhai Wenxi was just thinking about it when the phone rang.
But it wasn't Zhai Xun who answered the phone, but Zhai Siran's annoying voice: "Hello? Who is this?"
Zhai Wenxi was stunned and glanced at his phone.
That’s right, it’s the mobile phone number his uncle has always used.
Zhai Siran did it on purpose.
Zhai Wenxi said unhappily, "Where's my uncle?"
"Oh, Wenxi."
Zhai Siran: Damn it! You don’t even call me “brother” anymore?
"My dad was in the fields two kilometers away, watching the workers applying fertilizer with machines."
There was a hint of nonchalance in Zhai Siran's voice. "It might take him a few minutes to get here. Just tell me directly and I'll pass it on for you."
Zhai Wenxi cursed inwardly: "Why is this lunatic clinging to my uncle again? He's like a dog-skin plaster that I can't get rid of."
He didn't dare let Zhai Siran pass on the message, because who knows how this kid would add fuel to the fire.
"Nothing, I'll call back later." Zhai Wenxi said as he was about to hang up.
"Wait." Zhai Siran suddenly raised his voice, his tone full of boasting, "I have good news for you. The Free Alliance is now in power in the Saar Federation, and I'm one of its core members. So, I specifically had a new law enacted to allow non-blood relatives to marry."
Zhai Wenxi's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
"So, Mr. Zhai Mo and I will soon be happily married."
Zhai Siran's voice was filled with genuine pride. "From now on, you have to change your tone and call me 'little uncle' or 'aunt'. Don't call me 'brother' anymore. Do you understand?"
Zhai Wenxi's brain instantly shut down, and his hand holding the phone was shaking. "Zhai Siran! Do you still have any shame? He's the one who raised you with all his heart and soul, closer than your own father! You must be with him? It's already outrageous that you're in an AA relationship, but you still have to choose your father? Are all the alphas in the world going to die?!"
"What you said is very uncultured." Instead of getting angry, Zhai Siran smiled even more happily.
"My love for Dad has never changed, it's just that you don't want to admit it. Now that the country's economy is in recession, Dad asked me to save some money on the phone bill. I'm hanging up now."
Zhai Wenxi was about to retort when a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
"And you hung up on me!" Zhai Wenxi was so angry that his chest heaved.
"What's wrong?" Jing Yue pushed the door open and came in, holding a colorful flyer in his hand, and handed it to him, "I found a way to see the king."
Single page content:
[Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! The King's son has a rare disease. A nationwide reward is being offered for special blood types.]
The conditions are as follows:
Attribute: SS-level alpha
Age: 20-25
Height: 180cm and above
Blood type: AB
Spiritual body: Limited to reptiles without legs
“This isn’t the king’s son asking for blood… Speaking of which, Qi Sheng has always wanted to know what his son looks like.”
Jing Yue poked the words above and said, "Except for the last one, you meet all the requirements. We can go to see Yu Li in the name of donating blood."
"Oh my god! Why didn't I think of that? This is faster than me going to the parliament!"
Jing Yue nodded: "Let's go now."
——
Two hours later, Plan received the message that the matched blood donor had been confirmed and told Yu Li about it.
Upon hearing this, Yu Li immediately rushed back to the Independent Kingdom of Xisana and postponed the physical examination to next week.
The earliest flight back to the Independent Kingdom of Sisana is in the evening and will not arrive until the next day.
He still had some time, and he wanted to visit the gentleman's "sick brother" at home.
He followed the housekeeper and found the hospital where Qi Sheng was.
Wei Pulan followed behind all the way, his face full of worry for his boss: "Your Majesty, let's go see a doctor first. What if you go into heat early again?"
"It's okay, you see I'm fine, I'll go see him and come back immediately."
Yu Li's tone was firm, but there was a hint of selfishness in his heart.
He always felt that the spirit of that "brother" was too similar to Qi Sheng.
As the two of them reached the hospital's inpatient department, they saw a nurse pushing a treatment cart upstairs. She said to her colleague, "The alpha in bed 302 is so pitiful. He's in his susceptible period and has to take any inhibitors. They say that taking them can cause pheromone disorders and lead to amnesia..."
"He is not a patient of our hospital. The attending physician said he has a fixed treatment plan and cannot take any medication casually."
"Is that so?"
Yu Li paused. Wasn’t bed 302, which he had just checked, the ward for that “brother”?
Amnesia? Pheromone disorder?
Is it that serious?
He pulled Plan and followed quietly.
When I walked to the door of the ward, it was not closed tightly, leaving a gap.
Through the gap, Yu Li saw a man lying on the hospital bed, covered with a white quilt, and another mermaid who looked very young was lying on the bed with her arms around the man's waist.
The two of them were so close, as if they were hugging.
Yu Li's heart tightened.
The scent of pheromones lingered around Alpha, and the Black Mamba spirit was curled up beside the bed, several times larger than the "little snake" in his memory.
"Your Majesty, look..."
Pulan tugged at Yu Li's clothes and said with a hint of admonition, "Antiya allows a one-A, multiple-O marriage policy. Most people here are not loyal. You'd better not be tempted by anyone here."
Yu Li shook her head, a complicated look flashing in her eyes: "You misunderstood, I have a husband."
He stared at the Black Mamba in the ward, his voice so soft it sounded like he was talking to himself, "My husband's spirit form is also a Black Mamba, but his is a very cute little snake, unlike this one... This big and aggressive."
As he spoke, he subconsciously released a little Epiphyllum-scented pheromone, not to appease the alpha in the ward, but just to confirm the species of the other party's spiritual body.
As the pheromones floated into the ward, the man on the bed suddenly moved.
The Black Mamba spirit also suddenly raised its head, its snake eyes fixed on the door, as if it had noticed something.
Yu Li's heart instantly rose to his throat.
The reaction of this spirit was exactly the same as when Qi Sheng protected him back then!
But when he looked at the image of the mermaid hugging the man, he forced himself to suppress his guess.
It can't be him. It can't be him.
Qi Sheng would not betray him.
He pulled Puran and turned around: "Let's go and don't disturb them."
Plan scratched his head in confusion, but could only follow: "Okay."
However, the moment Yu Li turned around, the alpha on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with ecstasy of regaining what he had lost.
But when he looked at the door, his temper suddenly cooled.
When Yu Li's footsteps completely disappeared, Qi Sheng pushed the mermaid away from his arms, his tone filled with cold disgust, "Get lost."
