Chapter 144: Gorgeous Cage



It would be a lie to say there was no preparation.

Before returning, Jian Luo had already thought of the worst possible outcome and the worst possible solution.

There is no free lunch in this world, and Dark Star cannot really help you without any desire. Everything has a price to pay, the only difference is whether the price is high or low.

Thinking of this, he was no longer nervous: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Since we all live on Dark Star, we're all family." The young emperor stood high in the hall, gazing at Jian Luo. He said, "The fate of Dark Star is equally crucial to the destiny of humanity. The universe is ever-changing. As long as Dark Star remains at its peak, it will naturally protect everyone. We all hope for eternal peace. I also promise that as long as Dark Star remains glorious, none of its inhabitants will suffer."

The young emperor scanned everyone's gaze and finally spoke, "So, I hope that humanity will actively cooperate with research institutes and combine human medical technology to overcome this difficult time together."

Jian Luo seemed to be lost in thought.

The little emperor said, "Of course, this isn't forced. This is simply a request from me and all the Dark Star people to humanity. I hope this won't frighten or embarrass you."

There was silence in the audience.

I have to say that the little emperor has what it takes to become a leader. His speeches are flawless, and he uses both kindness and force to win the hearts of the people. Anyone who opposes him at this time is simply ignorant of what is good for them.

really

Jian Luo didn't say anything, but the humans below were already moved, and a soft call gradually came:

"We do."

"It's not difficult. Isn't it just scientific research?"

“We are willing to contribute.”

Many voices of support have already appeared.

Humanity has just been liberated. Dark Star has opened up the household registration system, which was once extremely difficult to reach, allowing human children to solve the two major problems of education and employment. They no longer have to live in the small world of Anleyuan and farm. They have a wider sky to soar.

This was the first time they felt truly accepted by the Dark Star people.

Human beings are inherently grateful and repaying favors. Right now is a time when emotions are running high. Let alone helping with research, I'm afraid that if you ask them to help on the battlefield, they would do it without hesitation, sacrificing their lives for their homeland.

A hint of smile flashed across the little emperor's eyes. He looked at Jian Luo and said, "Luoluo, what do you think?"

Jian Luo was named.

Standing below, listening to the shouts behind him, he had to agree or disagree. At this moment, what else could he say? He could only bow and salute: "I will obey your majesty's order. It is a great honor."

The smile in the little emperor's eyes faded, and he said, "Luoluo, no need to be so polite. Please stand up."

Jian Luo thanked him.

The ceremony then entered into carnival mode, with people singing and dancing. Media channels from all over the world rushed to report the event, and everyone ran around to tell each other, making it a very lively occasion.

Jian Luo just felt physically and mentally exhausted.

After coming down from the ceremony, he sat in the lounge at the back and saw Secretary Jin come in and wave at him, "Luoluo."

Jian Luo's eyes lit up: "What's wrong?"

"The Marshal asked me to take you to dinner." Secretary Jin smiled: "You must be starving."

The three cubs in Jian Luo's arms were quite excited. They were definitely not hungry. They had eaten so much in the car that they just wanted to get off and play.

Jian Luo stood up: "I'm really hungry."

Secretary Jin had an expression that said, "I knew it." "The Marshal said there's a dinner party tonight, and you definitely won't be able to handle it. He asked me to prepare some food for you, so you can eat some first."

Jian Luo said: "Thank you."

Secretary Jin took the baby and held it in his arms. After petting the baby, he felt much better. "What are you thanking me for? You're welcome."

Jian Luo smiled.

He finished his meal quickly. The cub had a fixed time to rest and sleep every day. Unfortunately, this was outside, and he was not confident in asking other people to help take care of the child. Fortunately, the vampires still had some conscience, and someone came to pick him and the cub up in the afternoon for a nap.

Considering that the child went to bed early and was tired during the day, Jian Luo did not bring the child to the dinner party in the evening. She asked Su Liang to help look after the child and went there after ensuring the child was safe.

Secretary Jin accompanied him: "The Marshal and the others are ahead."

Jian Luo: "Okay."

The dinner was held in the palace. The huge square was crowded with people and looked very lively. In such a grand scene, everyone seemed insignificant.

But today seems a little different from the past——

"oops!"

Another person bumped into me accidentally.

Jian Luo looked at him expressionlessly.

"I'm so sorry." The man who bumped into him apologized in a low voice: "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? I'll leave you my contact information. You can contact me anytime."

“…”

Jian Luo had a blank expression: "No need."

He walked past the man and suddenly a girl fell in front of him. The girl was pretty and looked at him delicately: "Oh, I fell."

Jian Luo said what he had said for the umpteenth time tonight: "If you fall, find a doctor."

The girl stared at Jian Luo in amazement as he left without looking back. She was a little surprised. How could humans be so heartless and not be tricked at all?

However, what she didn't expect was that other people knew more than her:

"This is an heirloom from my family. If you find it, you must marry me."

"I've been a priest since I was little and I've said that I would find a human as a partner, otherwise I might end up alone."

"Actually, I really like human culture. Look, I have tattoos on my body."

Jian Luo looked in the direction he pointed and found that the so-called tattoo was actually a vegetable. The corners of his mouth twitched and he walked away expressionlessly.

Secretary Jin in the back said, "Luoluo, you're so welcome."

Jian Luo had a headache: "Stop making fun of me."

The dinner party is in progress.

When Jian Luo passed a group of people, he encountered another person blocking his way. This person's rank was a little different from the others.

The person who stopped him was Jiang Jiang.

Jian Luo didn't recognize him at first because of the lighting, but after seeing the person clearly, he smiled and said, "Jiang Jiang?!"

Jiang Jiang opened his arms: "Luoluo, long time no see."

Jian Luo naturally rushed over to give him a hug, finally feeling a little happier: "Why are you here? I was thinking of coming back to ask you out for dinner alone."

In his live broadcast career, Jiang Jiang was both his mentor and friend. He signed him when he was at his lowest point, comforted him when he encountered difficulties, and took him in several times. Jiang Jiang never looked down on human beings.

All in all, he is his first friend on Dark Star, which is of great significance.

Jiang Jiang placed his hands on Jian Luo's shoulders and looked him over carefully: "You seem to have grown taller?"

Jian Luo smiled and said, "Is there?"

"Of course." Jiang Jiang compared: "Probably an inch higher!"

Jian Luo was feeling happy when he suddenly felt a chill on his back, just like the subconscious sense of crisis when you are walking in the forest and are suddenly targeted by a dangerous and sinister beast. This made the hairs on his back stand on end.

Next second

"drop"

There was a message coming from the information terminal.

Jian Luo gestured to Jiang Jiang before answering the call. It was from Lu Shifeng. He asked, "Where are you?"

Jian Luo typed quickly: "At the dinner party."

"With whom?"

Jian Luo replied, "Secretary Jin is with me."

He always felt that Lu Shifeng and Jiang Jiang didn't get along, so he simply didn't say much. Anyway, he couldn't chat with Jiang Jiang for long. Who knew that just after the message was sent, a message came from the other side: "Did you have fun?"

?

Jian Luo recalled the chance encounters and pick-up techniques of various people at the cocktail party, and felt that it was a bit difficult, so he replied: "Not very happy."

He thought Lu Shifeng would at least say a few words of comfort to him, but who knew that as soon as he sent the message, he received a reply from Lu Shifeng: "Really? I see you are quite happy."

Jian Luo was stunned and turned around subconsciously, seeing Lu Shifeng standing not far from him.

He always seemed to be the focus of the whole audience. Even though he never showed off, his straight military uniform seemed to create a distance between him and the surroundings. The man's brows were a little cold. He stood there, the lights of the dinner party were dim, and for a moment, he gave people a feeling of extreme danger.

Jian Luo was stunned: "When did you come?"

Lu Shifeng stepped over and stood next to Jian Luo.

Jiang Jiang greeted politely: "Hello, Marshal."

"Yeah." Lu Shifeng's eyes fell on Jiang Jiang's folded hands, his eyes a little sharp: "Are you chatting?"

Jiang Jiang felt his hand was a little hot and quickly pulled it back.

Jian Luo smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we just chatted for a while."

Lu Shifeng remained silent.

Jiang Jiang, however, looked at Jian Luo's face and smiled shyly: "I knew Luo Luo would come to the dinner, so I came here specially to see him, just to try my luck. I guess he will be very busy in the future, so it won't be easy to meet him."

The look he gave Jian Luo was full of doting, as if everyone knew what he was thinking.

Jian Luo was touched. He said, "Oh, don't say that. No matter how busy I am, I won't be too busy to meet you for a meal. Next time you want to meet, just make an appointment with me. I can handle anything."

The two people were naturally warmer when they met again after a long separation, but in Lu Shifeng's opinion, the color of the hair was gradually different. The dragon clan had a very strong possessiveness. There were so many people with ulterior motives towards Jian Luo throughout the dinner, and everyone was challenging Lu Shifeng's patience.

He had been observing Jian Luo since the beginning of the dinner, and saw one person after another coming to chat with him, all wanting to snatch her away from him. With each additional one, his patience crumbled a little, and finally broke at this moment.

Lu Shifeng finally spoke in a cold voice: "Do you have a lot of time?"

Jian Luo was stunned

"Go to the priest's class, moonlight duty, return to the dragon tribe for physical training, resettlement in Anleyuan, and rebuild the earth." Lu Shifeng looked down at him, sour and angry: "Children also need to be taken care of."

Jian Luo was stunned.

Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Mr. Jian is at ease."

Seeing this obvious sarcasm, the smile on Jian Luo's face froze.

Jiang Jiang noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly said, "Luoluo, you are so busy. Ah, that's okay. Let's talk when you are free. I am very happy to see you today. Next time, we can make an appointment next time."

Jian Luo turned around and forced a smile: "Yeah, okay."

Due to the fluid nature of the dinner, the two of them parted ways after not talking for long. Lu Shifeng led Jian Luo forward, and Jian Luo had a gloomy face along the way.

Lu Shifeng stopped and looked at him: "Are you unhappy?"

"You're the one who's unhappy, aren't you?" Jian Luo looked up and finally asked, "Why did you say that just now?"

He was not stupid and could see that Lu Shifeng was unfriendly towards Jiang Jiang.

It would be fine at other times, but this is outside, why can't we give him a little face?

Lu Shifeng frowned.

"Do you think I shouldn't make friends?" Jian Luo was a little breathless from the stress of the day. He lowered his head, his nose a little sour. "I don't need to have my own private life. I'll just follow your arrangements. If you ask me to study, I'll go. If you ask me to manage Anleyuan, I'll go. I don't need to make friends. I'll just take good care of the children and quietly be your tool."

Lu Shifeng looked at his red eyes and pulled him to the side, away from the noisy crowd, to a quiet place.

Jian Luo shook off his hand: "Why are you pulling me?"

He wanted to shake it off, but failed after two attempts. There was nothing he could do about it because Lu Shifeng was too strong.

"You misunderstood me." Lu Shifeng leaned against the rockery next to him and glanced at him: "It's more convenient to talk here."

?

Jian Luo: "I have nothing to say to you."

He originally wanted to be a little cold, but who knew that the more he spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. He glanced at her coldly, but ended up tearing up. The whole scene was ruined. He didn't seem like he was being mean to Lu Shifeng. With her crying tone, she looked more like a grumpy girlfriend arguing with her boyfriend.

What the hell is going on?

It was clearly agreed before that the child would be free after he was born, but when the time came, everything changed. They said it was for his own good, but in fact they just locked him up in a fancy cage.

He wants freedom.

This is also the reason why he is depressed today. He does love money, but that is just to make life better for himself and his family. If it exceeds that, he would rather not have it.
