Chapter 135 Banquet - 7 Lu Yi led Tang Bufan onto a small plane...
Lu Yi led Tang Bufan onto a small flying vehicle, similar to those he had seen before. It was also spherical, but only half of its area was made of tempered glass, while the rest was pure white, and its shape resembled a tennis ball.
Lu Yi sat in the pilot's seat. Tang Bufan recalled the time he sat in the fighter jet with Lu Yi and the jet exploded, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Are you sure you can drive this safely?" Tang Bufan asked. He knew that Lu Yi had been receiving driving and control training recently, but it was mainly for their current giant aircraft.
"Don't worry, it's safe." Lu Yi wouldn't joke with Tang Bufan's life. Seeing Tang Bufan settled in the passenger seat, he leaned over to help him fasten his seatbelt: "Besides, there's Evelyn too."
"Hello, Xiao Tang." A gentle electronic female voice sounded. It was Evelyn connecting to the network with this small aircraft. Tang Bufan felt relieved when he heard its voice.
"I'm relieved to have Evelyn here," Tang Bufan said.
Lu Yi, who had just helped him fasten his seatbelt, looked up at him with a wronged expression: "In the teacher's heart, am I not as reliable as Evelyn?"
“Uh…it’s different, it’s AI.” Tang Bufan smiled at him. Although Evelyn didn’t speak often, she gave people a very reassuring feeling. Kai’s system was also upgraded by her.
Seeing Tang Bufan smile, Lu Yi's heart softened. She reached out and patted his head again, then pressed the control panel in front of her to close the hatch of the small aircraft.
...He was patted on the head. Tang Bufan felt rather strange, because he was always the one patting Lu's head, so he suddenly had a sense of disorientation that their positions were reversed.
The aircraft floated smoothly into the air, and the orcs on duty below looked up at them. Lu Yi communicated with Fik in the command cabin, and the thick and heavy door of the parking cabin slowly opened.
Tang Bufan turned to look at him, watching him talk to Fick in an orderly manner and fly the small aircraft away. He noticed that he seemed to have matured a bit more.
Time flies. In another six months, Lu Yi will be nineteen. Tang Bufan still remembers what he looked like when he met him in the desert. He was wearing grayish-green military pants and a white vest. His features were youthful, and his golden-green heterochromatic eyes were as clear as gemstones.
He was about to have such a young orc become his father. Tang Bufan turned his head to look ahead. The aircraft, under Lu Yi's control, soared into the sky. Tang Bufan leaned back in the comfortable chair and quietly touched his still flat stomach.
Lu Yi glanced at him briefly, then looked ahead thoughtfully.
Even if Tang Bufan didn't say it, he was hiding his emotions, and Lu Yi knew he was uneasy.
How can you make your pregnant partner feel at ease? Lu Yi didn't quite know, so he could only pat Tang Bufan's head to make himself appear more calm and mature.
"If only I were older," Lu Yi thought. He felt he didn't yet have enough knowledge and experience to protect Tang Bufan.
The weather is pretty good today. The recent rainy season has cleansed the air in the east, and the gradually warming sky has a touch of blue. When the aircraft passes through a cloud and reaches high altitude, the world is so vast and ethereal that only a horizon remains.
"Where are we going?" Tang Bufan asked Lu Yi at this moment.
Lu Yi thought for a moment and asked him, "Would you like to go see the Penglai base?"
Originally, after the peacekeeping troops left Taicheng, Lu Yi and Fang Yue were supposed to go to Penglai Base for an on-site inspection. In addition to learning about her new human base plan, they also planned to spend their honeymoon there with Tang Bufan, as they had heard it was a beautiful island.
Next, we will go to the southeastern sea area to find the Rebooter base.
But now that Tang Bufan is pregnant, the plan has to be changed, and he has to send Tang Bufan to the Western Federation first.
"Penglai Base?" Tang Bufan had been curious about this place for a long time, so he readily agreed: "Sure."
Lu Yi then carried Tang Bufan all the way towards Penglai.
Taicheng is not far from Penglai Base, and the aircraft is fast. It only took about twenty minutes to get there. Tang Bufan peeked out through the transparent glass and saw many huge steel supports and countless ship wrecks.
It was a small island, about the size of a third-tier city, but the entire island was covered by glass made of steel frames, like a crystal glass ball, and 90% of the glass was broken, leaving only glittering, sharp fragments.
Many damaged ships were stranded on the island's beach, and there was a protective net around the island. Judging from the antenna on it, it should be an electric fence. Many ship wrecks were entangled in the broken net, which was rusted and covered with barnacles and seaweed.
The scene was breathtaking and filled with a sense of desolation. Even after a thousand years, Tang Bufan could still feel the brutality of the island assault back then, and Lu Yi was equally captivated.
"This island has always been known as the last base where humanity fell. At that time, the entrances to all the underground cities had been closed, the surface had completely lost its order, the plants were polluted and withered, the water was dirty and smelly and could not be drunk normally, and both animals and humans began to get sick. Driven by a strong will to survive, humanity formed an army to attack this island and demanded that it be opened to the outside world." Lu Yi looked at the small island below and sighed: "But how can an island the size of a city accommodate the people of an entire country?"
“And this Penglai base was just bait,” Tang Bufan said with emotion. “Who would have thought that the real ‘Penglai Island’ was in the south, and that it not only did not fall, but also survived silently for a thousand years.”
The spherical small aircraft passed through a broken glass shield and entered the island. There were no clouds in the sky, and the afternoon sun was strong, reflecting colorful light in many places.
The aircraft stopped on a beach. Instead of landing on the sand, it hovered in the air at a distance of twenty centimeters. Lu Yi was the first to get off the aircraft and then reached out his hand to Tang Bufan.
Tang Bufan was about to jump down when he suddenly remembered that he was pregnant. His bent knees paused, and the next second, Lu Yi gently lifted him down by his armpits.
"It's over," Tang Bufan thought silently, touching his face. "Now I can't even jump."
The two came to take wedding photos, and they needed to find a good place to take pictures. Lu Yi originally thought that Penglai was an island with blue sky and sea, which would be nice. However, when they arrived, they found that it was a graveyard of ships. So, he could only hold Tang Bufan's hand and lead him to walk slowly on the beach.
It turns out there were many poisoners on the island, but Guo Shen and his army have wiped them all out. Now the island is very quiet, with only the sounds of wind and waves.
Tang Bufan didn't care about the shipwrecks; he only felt the air was a bit fishy. He turned his head to look at Lu Yi beside him and saw that he was enjoying himself.
Lu Yi has always loved quiet and secluded atmospheres. Tang Bufan had noticed this long ago. After wandering for so long, when it was windy and rainy outside, the two of them would huddle together in the small RV, and whether the window was open or not, Lu Yi would become even more affectionate than before.
"Do you like it?" Tang Bufan asked him.
"I like you." Lu Yi leaned closer to Tang Bufan, then forcefully rested her head on Tang Bufan's shorter shoulder: "I like you~"
They've definitely gotten tired of each other. Tang Bufan smiled, took the initiative, and led Lu Yi forward.
There were many pieces of broken glass on the beach, mixed in with the sand, making a crunching sound as they stepped on them, while the aircraft hovered behind them.
The two walked slowly around the edge of the beach for more than ten minutes and saw an abandoned lighthouse built on the edge of a cliff.
"What do you think of this background?" Tang Bufan asked Lu Yi. There was a mountain wall there, which blocked out the wreckage of many ships.
Lu Yi got up from Tang Bufan, made a square with his hand to look at it, and thought it was good.
"Okay, this is fine."
So the two, dressed in their finest attire, began to tidy each other's hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze. With their backs to the distant lighthouse, they leaned against each other, shoulder to shoulder, and Evelyn controlled the aircraft's camera to take their wedding photos.
Of course, they didn't take a single picture. Later, Lu Yi started chasing after Tang Bufan to take pictures, playing around with taking portraits of Tang Bufan, making Tang Bufan take off his suit jacket and unbutton his shirt.
Tang Bufan had worked as a model and had a great sense of the camera. When those clear, dark eyes looked over, Lu Yi's heart would race even through the lens. Gradually, her body began to heat up. She was captivated by Tang Bufan's snow-white body with his shirt open and secretly observed his chest through the camera while behind his back.
After six months of deliberate health maintenance and exercise, Tang Bufan has said goodbye to his former skinny physique and developed a thin layer of muscle. Not only can you see some abdominal muscle lines, but his chest has also become more defined.
It's still small.
Lu Yi gently licked her lips as the sea breeze blew in.
Tang Bufan was unaware that Lu Yi was secretly having an affair. Seeing how enthusiastically Lu Yi was taking pictures, Tang Bufan readily cooperated, and the two continued taking pictures until sunset.
There was a forest near the beach. Lu Yi went inside and broke off some firewood. He also killed a wild deer with his bare hands, and the two lit a campfire on the beach.
As darkness began to fall, the sound of the waves remained clear. Tang Bufan looked at the grilled meat in front of him and finally asked the question that had been bothering him.
"How is Yu Shi?"
Lu Yi, who was looking at photos on a virtual screen, paused in her swiping motion and then sighed softly.
He put down the bracelet, and the screen disappeared from his sight, accompanied by a complex voice saying, "He has been convicted and was assigned yesterday to a mid-level orc with merit but a missing leg."
Tang Bufan was taken aback. He knew that Yu Shi would be convicted, but he did not expect that the Eastern Federation would directly assign him to a disabled orc.
Given Yu Shi's family background and appearance, it would be very easy for him to marry a high-ranking beastman.
"Didn't the Yu family protest?" Tang Bufan asked.
"How to protest? Yu Shi said it was his great-grandfather's order, but the old man said that Yu Shi planned all of this himself, completely smearing the peacekeeping forces. He clearly wants to sacrifice his great-grandson." Lu Yi looked at the bonfire in front of him, the light and shadow flickering on his face, making it impossible to read his emotions.
Tang Bufan quietly studied him, then bit his lip uneasily and said in a low voice, "I believe it was that old man who orchestrated it. He was the one who orchestrated the destruction of the education group back then, and he even smeared the resistance faction. This person is vicious and cunning, and he took advantage of your kind heart and your sense of responsibility... If Yu Shi had succeeded that night..."
"He won't succeed!" Lu Yi quickly said, afraid that Tang Bufan would overthink things. "I have a lot of patience!"
It wasn't that Tang Bufan didn't trust Lu Yi, but he knew very well how fragile a person's willpower could be under the influence of some potent drugs. Therefore, he looked at Lu Yi with unease and mixed feelings.
"Did you...kiss that night?"
He knew that Lu Yi and Yu Shi had not had a relationship. He saw Lu Yi in his delirium after falling into a coma, but Lu Yi had been briefly taken away by Yu Shi.
"No!" Lu Yi grabbed Tang Bufan's hand excitedly: "He did try to kiss me, and I was startled. I blocked him with my arm, but I could smell his scent. Maybe the drugs irritated my stomach, because I turned over and gagged a few times, which made him so angry that his eyes turned red!"
Tang Bufan, who was originally deep in thought, suddenly found Lu Yi's words amusing. He had originally wanted to ask Yu Shi about the specifics of her orc husband, but now he didn't care anymore.
"I'm sorry. If I hadn't wanted to test Yu Shi's character that night, this wouldn't have happened," Tang Bufan apologized softly.
“It’s not the teacher’s fault. I also felt sorry for him.” Lu Yi said, his words mixed with emotion. This was not the first time he had been schemed against by humans. There were so many people who wanted to get into his bed that Lu Yi was tired of them. That’s why he was secretly wary of Tang Bufan back then.
"Anderson said we're both stupid," Tang Bufan complained.
Lu Yi chuckled softly, "That's true."
Seeing the young orc laughing easily and happily in front of him, Tang Bufan's eyes flickered slightly. He reached out and gently brushed away the hair that had been ruffled by the sea breeze from Lu Yi's forehead. By the firelight, he looked at Lu Yi's incomparably handsome face and those glass-like eyes. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and leaned in to kiss him.
his.
This is his.
Tang Bufan was extremely satisfied and gently kissed Lu Yi's lips.
Lu Yi slightly opened his eyes, then curled the corners of his mouth, turning the tables and taking the initiative.
The two sat on the beach at dusk, kissing. The sea breeze blew sparks, and the sound of waves crashed one after another. Lu subconsciously reached out and touched Tang Bufan's chest, but after only a few grabs through his shirt, he consciously removed his hand.
He had to control himself. Lu Yi kissed Tang Bufan's lips, and then, still not satisfied, hugged him and kissed his neck again before calming his breathing and pulling away.
Tang Bufan knew he was worried about his current health. Strangely, he stepped back. Tang Bufan still wanted more, but he also knew that the two of them couldn't mess around anymore. So he moved behind Lu Yi and hugged him, pressing his body against Lu Yi's.
"Cold?" Lu asked.
"No." Tang Bufan rubbed his cheek against his back: "It's comfortable to be close to you."
"Then come to me." Lu Yi felt it was unsafe for Tang Bufan to stay behind him, as there were wolves in the nearby forest.
"No," Tang Bufan refused, "I want to hold you."
Although he was the "woman" in their marriage, Tang Bufan was still a man, and he felt more comfortable holding someone than having a delicate young lady nestled in someone else's arms.
His lover is quite a big guy. Tang Bufan smiled faintly as he leaned against Lu Yi's broad back.
Seeing him lying softly on his back, Lu Yi felt a wave of warmth wash over him and smiled helplessly, letting him play like that.
The two didn't get back until 9 p.m., and it was Bren who was worried and called to urge them to go home.
Evelyn has uploaded their wedding photos and marriage registration to the Western Federation, and Lu Yi's personal page information has been updated accordingly, with Tang Bufan's name appearing in the partner section.
Now that Tang Bufan had a personal AI, he received congratulations from Pei Zhishu and Fang Yue while on the aircraft. Guo Wen also sent a message with only eight simple words:
Congratulations on your marriage! Wishing you happiness.
Tang Bufan thought for a moment and simply replied with two words: "Thank you."
When the two landed in Taicheng and returned to the aircraft's parking bay, Bren came to greet them personally, not only because Tang Bufan had become Lu Yi's official wife, but also because he was now pregnant.
Upon learning of Tang Bufan's pregnancy, Bren immediately relayed this important news back to the Western Federation. Given Ludger's genetic issues and Lu Yi's persistent attempts to escape, Hans placed great importance on the child.
“Young Master Louis, the mission to transport supplies to the Eastern Federation has been successfully completed. Sirius will handle the technical cooperation with the Eastern Federation. Given Madam’s current health condition, I suggest we return to the Western Federation tomorrow.” Brun said earnestly to Lu Yi, his dignified middle-aged face solemn.
Tang Bufan was taken aback, not expecting it to happen so quickly, so he frowned slightly and looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi knew that Tang Bufan was not very willing, but on this issue, he and Bren shared the same opinion.
So, facing Tang Bufan's gaze, he remained silent for a while, then nodded to Bren: "Yes, we'll go back tomorrow."
