Selection
She put the fluffy, thick fur coat and leather pants into the wooden cabinet and changed into the thin clothes knitted by her mother-in-law. There were even flying wind chimes embroidered on the shoulders, which made Yu Sheng laugh and cry.
"The clothes knitted by my grandma are so fashionable." Frey came up from behind, and relying on his height, he stretched out his long arms to wrap Yu Sheng in his arms, and his warm breath blew on the top of Yu Sheng's head, making it itchy. "It's even better than Babi's custom-made spring clothes." Babi is the most luxurious and expensive clothing brand in the entire galaxy. It can almost be said that it leads the hottest fashion trends in the galaxy.
Yu Sheng laughed, "Mother-in-law said that the embroidery is for us to wear to welcome the nobles from the central city and strive to be selected to enter the city."
Frey frowned slightly, "We must go into the city, but Sugar and Mia..."
Yu Sheng sighed, "They thought Central City was a nice place, but they didn't know it was a living hell."
Frey's heart tightened, and his arms, which were hugging Yu Sheng, shrank. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes. Finally, he said, "Yu Sheng, do you hate me?"
"Huh?" Yu Sheng was startled. He turned around and met Frey's eyes, which were as deep as the water of Lake Frey. "Why do you say that suddenly?"
Frey leaned down and rested his chin on Yu Sheng's shoulder, showing a rare vulnerable attitude. "I'm sorry, I also wanted to make you a pet for life. I apologize."
Yu Sheng patted Frey's cheek. "Am I the kind of person who would bring up old grudges? Okay, since you apologized so sincerely, I'll punish you by making you serve me well tonight, okay?"
Frey's breath was choked and his body was stiff. He looked at Yu Sheng's eyes which were half teasing and half serious, and asked uncertainly, "You... mean that?" Although Frey often pulled Yu Sheng into the bed to play around during this period, he never broke the last layer of window paper.
Yu Sheng's ears were red as blood, and he pushed Frey awkwardly, "If you don't understand, forget it. I won't wait any longer!"
Frey pulled Yu Sheng back and kissed his earlobe impatiently, whispering, "I understand. As you say, my baby."
The small lamp on the table flickered slowly, illuminating a corner of the cabin. The evening breeze passed by this house, its cheeks burning with shame, and it flew away quietly. It flew over the earth, the ice and snow melted, and the grosbeaks sprouted trembling pointed buds; it flew over the branches, the birds chirped, and the tender yellow sparrows opened their red pointed beaks; it flew over the sky, the frost and fog dissipated, and the sparkling stars were embedded in it, winking friendly to everyone who saw them.
…
March 20, Xiaoxi Village in the early morning.
"Get up, get up, everyone! The nobles from Central City are here!"
"Hurry, hurry, gather at the village entrance! Welcome everyone to Xiaoxi Village!"
Sugar and her mother-in-law were awakened by the sound. When they heard that the nobles had arrived, they didn't even bother to take a nap. They hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out of the room.
All the cabins in Xiaoxi Village were opened within a minute, and people poured out of the houses and ran towards the village entrance.
Yu Sheng and Frey had just finished practicing a set of fighting moves when they heard the familiar sound of a hovercraft coming from a few hundred meters outside the village. They looked at each other and stopped their morning exercise.
The two arrived at the entrance of the village and found that the small entrance was crowded with villagers. No matter tall or short, old or young, they all stretched their necks and tried to look outside, wanting to see what the nobles of the legendary central city looked like.
“Here it comes!” “Here it comes!”
The villagers in the front row probably saw it, and their excited words spread all the way to the back row. Everyone was excited. At this time, the village chief shouted, "Line up! Welcome!"
Everyone made way for the central road and applauded enthusiastically at the call of the goat village chief. Even the baby rabbit in Mrs. Tu Luo's arms shook its long ears and giggled.
"Only three people." Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes, looking at the three brightly dressed interstellar people walking in with their heads held high, and he felt disdain in his heart, "At first glance, they look like some hypocritical businessmen."
"We'll follow the plan later." Frey whispered.
The goat village chief walked forward with a cane and shook hands with a bloated middle-aged man in the middle. "Hello, sir. Welcome to Xiaoxi Village."
The middle-aged man forced a greasy smile. "Okay, okay, but let's not stand at the door anymore. How about we go inside and talk? Even though it's the warm season, it's still quite cold outside."
"Of course I should." The goat village chief was afraid that he would neglect the nobles and affect the future of the young people in Xiaoxi Village, so he hurriedly said, "Come to my house, I've packed everything!"
So, the crowd surrounded the village chief and the three nobles and walked towards the village chief's house. Listening to the noisy voices behind them, one of them had a flash of disgust in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant. "Village chief, let's talk about business. Everyone else..."
The goat village chief was startled, then immediately understood what the noble man meant. He tapped the ground with his cane and said to everyone, "Disperse! I'll notify everyone to participate in the selection later!"
The villagers had no choice but to look back every few steps as they reluctantly dispersed. Mia held onto Sugar's sturdy arm, the color in her eyes seeming to fly out, "Sugar, that's great, we're going to Central City to see the real big world!"
Sugar responded to Mia's words with a silly smile, and after a while he said worriedly, "But, will the nobles be interested in us?"
"Of course!" Mia pinched her waist confidently, her eyebrows dancing with joy. "Once we settle down in Central City, we'll come back and bring my dad and your mom over to live with us~"
Looking forward to a bright future, Sugar was also infected by Mia and said with a smile, "Yeah, let's live together!"
I don’t know what the goat village chief talked about with the nobles. Two hours later, the village chief’s notice was conveyed to the whole village: all young people under the age of 25 should line up at the door of the village chief’s house and enter the house one by one to be examined by the nobles.
Immediately, all the young men in Xiaoxi Village rushed over. Nearly twenty people lined up in an orderly manner. The goat village chief came out of the house and said to the squirrel boy at the head of the line, "Go in."
The squirrel boy was very handsome, with a pointed chin and delicate features that made him particularly playful and adorable. He hummed happily and ran into the cabin. After about a quarter of an hour, the tightly closed wooden door opened, and the squirrel boy slowly walked out, his face a bit dazed. Everyone gathered around him, asking questions in a flurry, "Did you get selected?" "What questions?" "Do you need to sing or dance?" "..."
The squirrel boy nodded, then shook his head, making everyone anxious, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"I've been chosen," the squirrel boy said. "I'm going home." He spoke very slowly, but no one noticed his unusual behavior in their excitement. Or, even if they did, they didn't have time to ask. Then a man's impatient shouting came from the cabin, "Second one! Why don't you come in?!"
"I'm coming!" The Black Bear Girl answered loudly. She was fat and not very agile, but she had a good voice. The Black Bear Girl's singing voice was the best, most rhythmic and loudest in the whole Xiaoxi Village. She wanted to show off her singing voice in front of the nobles, hoping that they would be amazed by her.
Everyone thought the same thing, and pricked up their ears, waiting to hear the Black Bear girl sing. However, not only did they not hear the song, but less than a minute later, the Black Bear girl came out, tears welling up in her eyes, and she cried as she said, "I didn't get selected, wuwuwu..."
Yu Sheng and Frey ranked third and fourth respectively. They greeted the villagers in advance and changed their appearance. Although everyone didn't understand why A Sheng and A Xiao wanted to hide their true appearance, they believed in their character and did not speculate or publicize too much.
"Next!"
Yu Sheng glanced at Frey, who squeezed Yu Sheng's palm and walked in. About ten minutes later, Frey came out and smiled at everyone who was full of expectation, "I've been selected."
Then he lowered his voice and quickly said to Yu Sheng, "They will ask you to take off your clothes and do some actions. You just need to use your mental power to disrupt them." With Yu Sheng's control over mental power, it would be a piece of cake to confuse the brains of three ordinary people.
Yu Sheng nodded, heard the command "next" from inside, and walked in.
The cabin was brightly lit with numerous lamps lit with several pieces of nuclear raw stone. Three people were sitting on a bench, one was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, and the other was lying on his side on the bed. He yawned lazily and said, "Close the door! I'm freezing to death."
Yu Sheng reached out and closed the wooden door tightly.
The obese middle-aged man looked Yu Sheng up and down several times. When he looked at Yu Sheng's disguised face, he frowned slightly. But when he saw Yu Sheng's slender waist and perky buttocks, the lust in his eyes almost jumped out, and his breathing became heavier. However, he quickly noticed that Yu Sheng, like the previous man, did not have the animal ears that are unique to half-orcs.
"Another disabled person?" The three people expressed regret at the same time. If someone is disabled, the price will be greatly reduced.
On Snow Star, there are quite a few Orcs who look like Starfolk. This is because after the Starfolk took over the planet, many of them would rape several Orc girls while traveling. After all, having animal ears and tails was a novelty, and it wasn't illegal. Gradually, these "half-orcs" who inherited the Starfolk appearance began to proliferate. While they certainly didn't have human rights, they were sold for a fraction of the price of ordinary Orcs.
"Take off all your clothes!" the man with his legs crossed hurriedly said, "Hurry up, leave nothing behind. We need a thorough full-body check!"
There was a glint of ruthlessness in Yu Sheng's eyes. He thought of the squirrel boy who came in first, and he could hardly suppress the urge to skin and peel off the three people, but he forced himself to hold it back. "Why do you want to take off your clothes?" As Yu Sheng asked this question, a thin thread of mental power silently flowed out from between his fingers and hovered above the heads of the three people.
"Take it off just because I told you to. Stop talking nonsense. Do you still want to go to the central city?" The middle-aged man glared and suddenly his brain went blank. He lost consciousness for a while. When he came to his senses, he was not in a good mood. Fatigue came over him and he rubbed his eyes in confusion.
Looking at Yu Sheng again, Yu Sheng was buttoning the last button and looked at the middle-aged man innocently, "Is there anything else? Am I selected?"
"It's over, it's over." The man waved his hand impatiently and said to his companion, "No, I'm too sleepy. I need to go to sleep. What are the ones you two left?"
"We're sleepy too!" The two people on the bed also stared blankly. "Why don't we let them all come in and pick whatever they want? I don't think there are many good things in this village."
"OK."
So, all the young people behind Yu Sheng went in. In the end, besides Squirrel Boy and Yu Sheng Frey, only Mia, Qiqi, and Mianmian were selected. Sugar lowered his head in frustration. His two-meter tall figure seemed to have shrunk, and he exuded a depressed aura.
A pair of thin white arms wrapped around his arms, and when he turned around, he saw it was Mia.
Mia smiled brightly and reached out to poke Sugar's waist. "Look at you, you look so silly. What's there to be sad about? I won't go."
Sugar's eyes widened in surprise, and he stuttered, "No, no, you're so excited about it, I..."
"What a stupid bear." Mia said angrily, "What I've been looking forward to is never Central City, but to creating a family with you." As she spoke, her beautiful big eyes met Sugar's small eyes, and those beautiful and lively eyes seemed to contain a whole sky of stars.
After the selections were over, the villagers, though envious of the chosen ones, felt no resentment or hatred. They were all genuinely happy for the six. The village chief, the goat, quivered with pride, saying, "I heard only two people from the neighboring village were chosen!" The children of his own village were truly promising!
Originally, the goat village chief had planned to host a banquet for the three distinguished guests and had even specially prepared three of the most spacious, cleanest and best-equipped wooden houses in Xiaoxi Village for them to live in. However, after the three people simply slept for two hours and woke up, they refused the food and lodging in Xiaoxi Village and said they wanted to take their people and set off to the central city immediately.
Upon hearing that Mia had decided not to go, the middle-aged man couldn't hide the regret in his eyes. The most valuable commodity was unwilling to go?!
If they hadn't brought guns this time, they would have definitely taken Mia by force. However, there were plenty of good things on Xuexing, and although it was a pity, the middle-aged man didn't want to waste any more effort.
Although Qiqi and Mianmian were happy that they were chosen, they did not expect that they would have to leave Xiaoxi Village where they grew up today. They all started crying for a while. Only the squirrel boy had a wooden expression on his face. Everyone thought he was overwhelmed by excitement.
The five people followed the three people and left Xiaoxi Village. Under the blessing gazes of all the villagers, they embarked on the journey to the central city.
The hovercraft parked a hundred meters away from Xiaoxi Village is a large truck, sealed by a thick metal box. There is only a window at the top, so the scene inside cannot be seen.
Before getting in the car, the middle-aged man slapped his head and suddenly remembered something. He pointed at Qiqi and Mianmian and said, "You two were tested together later, right? Didn't you drink the pure milk? Dasang, give them two bags."
Dasang responded and threw two bags of pure milk to Qiqi and Mianmian. After watching them drink it, he smiled and said, "Okay, get in the car!"
