Chapter 76
Inside the auditorium, the lights seemed to be condensed from frost and snow, emitting a bone-chilling paleness that mercilessly poured over every inch of the space. The silver-white walls stood indifferently, reflected on the shiny marble floor, making this empty space even more secluded, like a huge ice cellar.
"Tsk, it's still so gloomy here. I don't know where my mother's wisdom has gone. She was really fooled by Ye Bai's little trick."
Worden muttered quietly.
When Woden entered the hall, he still had his usual royal demeanor, his posture was upright but he could not hide his impatience. Fortunately, he still gave face to the Chancellor's family and did not appear with anyone other than Ye Bai at this time.
——Although now it is impossible for him to find Ye Bai to be his companion.
His pure black suit, made of the finest material in the galaxy, always made him look noble and elegant when he wore it, but now it was wrinkled due to his haste, and the corners of his clothes were hanging down casually.
His blond hair, which had always been well-groomed and dazzling, was now disheveled, with a few strands of sweaty hair sticking to his forehead, making him look even more dishevelled.
Only his eyes, burning with blazing and scorching anger, glanced around menacingly.
When Warden received the news of Ye Bai's death from his mother, his first reaction was that his mother was deceived by Ye Bai. How could that guy die?
Even after hearing the news that Ye Bai committed suicide, Warden's reaction was to laugh and then say sarcastically.
"As long as I am here in this world, my mother, that guy will never let himself die alone."
His Majesty did not explain too much about this, but just asked Worden to attend the funeral on time. Worden originally wanted to resist, but his mother's cold voice on the other end of the phone made him understand that he had to go this time, so Worden appeared here with an impatient look on his face.
"It's really inexplicable that I have to come to this place." Warden muttered in a low voice, his steps were weak and perfunctory, and his leather shoes collided with the ground, making a hollow sound.
But when his eyes accidentally fell on the coffin in the center of the auditorium and Ye Bai lying in the coffin, he was struck by lightning and froze in place instantly. His originally distracted expression was completely washed away by shock.
"This...what is going on?" Warden raised his voice, questioning with disbelief and even a hint of imperceptible panic.
After getting closer and seeing Ye Bai's lifeless face, Woden seemed to finally react. His face instantly became as gloomy as ink, his brows were tightly locked together, forming a deep ravine, and anger was surging wildly in his eyes.
"Ye Bai, what tricks are you playing?" Woden roared at the coffin, his voice like a loud bell, echoing in the silent auditorium. "Playing dead? Do you think you can fool me with such a childish trick? Don't waste your time!"
His fist tightened unconsciously, his hard knuckles turned white due to the force, and veins bulged on the back of his hand. If it weren't for the cabin wall blocking it, the fist that was ready to strike would have smashed down long ago.
The young man who was Ye Bai's brother was standing by, his eyes bloodshot, tears welling up in his eyes but he was holding them back. When he saw what Woden was doing, he stepped forward and stopped Woden's increasingly uncontrollable movements.
"——Woden! Do you have any humanity left? My brother is dead, how can you be so cold-blooded and say such nonsense!"
Like a dragon whose reverse scales were touched, Woden suddenly turned his head and glared at Ye Wangxing fiercely, with no concealment of disgust in his eyes.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful here! I clearly saw him yesterday. How come he was lying here overnight? He must have planned this deliberately to attract my attention. He has done this more than once, but I didn't expect him to be so crazy that he would play with his own death with me!"
As Warden spoke, there was a hint of disdain on his face.
——The provoked young man almost punched Worden in the face.
Fortunately, they were stopped by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his wife, but their faces looked ugly as well.
Just as the smell of gunpowder in the air grew thicker, the funeral proceedings finally began.
The cold intelligent voice announced without any emotion: "The body transfer procedure is about to start. All irrelevant personnel are requested to evacuate immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gravity device under the coffin made a dull humming sound and began to work slowly, with slight vibrations spreading from the soles of his feet.
One form of funeral in the interstellar age is to send the coffin into the universe. During this process, the person in the coffin will be made into a gem by simple facilities, and finally float in the universe.
If you are lucky, your loved one may really turn into an asteroid.
When Woden heard the cold voice prompt "Breakthrough", he went crazy instantly, and the disdainful expression on his face disappeared.
He rushed to the control panel like a wild horse, waving his hands wildly on the holographic panel, his movements were panic and urgent, trying to stop the established program: "Isn't this a big deal? Are you really going to send Ye Bai to play in space just to attract my attention?"
Worden broke out in a cold sweat as he spoke.
However, the system permissions had long been locked, and a glaring red light was on the panel, rejecting his crazy actions time and time again, like a heartless spectator, watching his struggle coldly.
The attendants looked embarrassed, gathered around and reached out to pull Woden: "Your Highness, please calm down and do not interfere with the funeral process."
——After all, this is someone else’s child’s funeral. What will happen to your royal reputation if you suddenly go crazy?
But Woden exerted force suddenly and shook off the servants' hands with such force that one of the servants fell to the ground and got up in a mess.
He turned around and yelled at Ye Wangxing: "Are you behind this? Ye Bai would never play such a big game before. Did you play too much with those four people, so that Ye Bai learned to use his death to attract my attention?"
The Chancellor's family of three suddenly shuddered all over, and what Walden didn't see was that Martha in the audience also trembled, but fortunately it didn't attract the attention of the people around her.
However, the three of them just trembled a little. The young man reacted instantly and his expression was filled with disbelief. His red eyes made him look sad and desperate.
His finger trembled as he pointed at Worden, his voice choking.
"Wo! Deng! You are totally unreasonable! It's you who forced Ye Bai into this state. It's you who betrayed the promise you made to Ye Bai when you were little. He even wrote in his suicide note that it was all your fault, you bastard!"
As he spoke, Ye Wangxing threw a letter directly at Worden's face. The thick letter paper made Worden's face red, as if Ye Bai had slapped Worden in the face.
Warden took the suicide note in disbelief and opened it, but he froze after reading the beginning. He crumpled the letter into a ball, but it was as if someone stopped him from tearing it up or throwing it away.
Finally, he tightly grasped the suicide note, pointed at the Chancellor's family opposite him, opened and closed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
At this time, as the gravity device continued to increase its force, the coffin slowly left the ground and began to rise steadily, and the skylight of the church also opened.
Warden's eyes widened and he turned around immediately. His eyes seemed to burn a hole in the coffin. The anger on his face became more and more turbulent, and there was a hint of imperceptible panic.
"Ye Bai! If you wake up right now, I will pretend that what happened today never happened, and I won't bother with you about those trivial matters in the future!"
His voice became hoarse and dry due to the roar, but still strong, using the shell of anger to tightly wrap the quietly spreading uneasiness in his heart.
But the coffin still did not stop, floating upwards indifferently and disdainfully, as if Ye Bai had finally made up his mind to leave him.
Woden's legs gradually lost the strength to support him, but he relied on his stubbornness to hold on. When he was dragged out of the hall by the servants, he continued to struggle, waving his hands in the air, muttering: "This is impossible, he must be playing a trick on me..."
The whole person seemed to be in a frenzy, refusing to accept the reality before him.
In the end, Worden was forcibly dragged out of the auditorium, and the door slammed shut behind him with a heavy thud, as if putting an end to this farce.
It also made the guests present breathe a sigh of relief - they really did not expect that Prince Woden would suddenly go crazy to this extent.
Didn't he say that he and Ye Bai didn't have a good relationship? Why was he so sad when someone died?
Could it be that the plot is that he only realizes how much he loves someone after that disgusting person dies?
The guests' faces showed disgust, and Martha showed her disgust directly on her face.
"Ye Bai, just be thankful that you faked your death and your parents didn't invite many guests. Otherwise, your story would have spread all over the Star Network in less than 10 minutes - it would be extremely embarrassing."
Martha sent a message to Ye Bai on the computer with a grim face.
She was already curling her toes in embarrassment just thinking about the scene just now. She was even just a guest. If she were the protagonist, after she died she would have to jump out of the coffin to tell others that she had nothing to do with that thing!
"But your brother's acting is pretty good. Just now, when Woden rushed over and threw himself on your coffin, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter, but your brother actually held it back and was so focused on helping you cover."
Martha said as she sent the message with some appreciation.
However, Ye Bai on the opposite side did not reply to her for a while. Martha rolled her eyes, thinking that Ye Bai was probably starting to indulge in love again, so she chose to shift her gaze back to Ye Wangxing, and found that Ye Wangxing was still in pain.
"Is your belief so strong?"
Martha thought in shock. You know, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his wife were almost unable to hold it in, and were pinching their lips tightly, fearing that others would notice something.
But Martha was wrong in thinking this, because Ye Wangxing on the stage was not a good actor - it was because he had already laughed in the system space.
[——Hahahahahahaha help me! I really can’t bear it anymore, how on earth can he be so funny? ]
Ye Wangxing was laughing so hard in the system space that he almost couldn't breathe. He rolled over and over to make himself breathe more smoothly. Yijiu stood nearby and watched Ye Wangxing rolling around like a happy puppy. He didn't laugh, but just stood there silently guarding him to prevent Ye Wangxing from rolling to the ground.
——However, the lights in the system space became much brighter.
Ye Wangxing didn't notice this. After he recovered, he wiped the tears from laughing around his eyes, looked at Yijiu with wet eyelashes, with a big smile on his face.
Ye Wangxing really couldn't help it. After all, Warden's mad action of rushing to Ye Bai's coffin, coupled with his wrinkled suit and unkempt facial features that looked even more sloppy, looked really funny.
Especially his lines, which make it even funnier.
However, after the laughter subsided, Ye Wangxing regained his senses and said something to Warden sincerely.
【You deserve it! 】
Yijiu also nodded in agreement.
He still didn't understand the logic of Worden's character, but he had tried his best to shape Worden's character model according to the host's words.
But Worden's actions today made Yijiu understand one thing.
——Never use data to simulate the personalities of some strange people and guess what they will do next.
His character model is totally useless.
Yijiu thought about it and deleted Woden's data model. Then he asked about the host in his family who was better at simulating human personality.
[Host, what will Woden do next? Will he feel guilty towards Ye Bai because of what happened at the funeral, and then change his ways and live a good life as Ye Bai wants him to? ]
Hearing Yijiu's guess, Ye Wangxing shook his head and said, looking at Yijiu with a rare curiosity in his eyes.
[No, no, no, absolutely not. He won't even look at Ye Bai's suicide note during this period.]
Ye Wangxing spoke based on his many years of experience as a melon eater and the experience of being personally taken to the mediation site by his father.
[If it were in reality, Warden might have burned Ye Bai's suicide note and started looking for a new person a few days later. After all, there are very few plots where people regret after someone dies. Most people just feel that the trouble is finally over after someone dies.]
Ye Wangxing sighed and said.
[However, this is a fictional world, so Woden will probably live a normal life for a while, then fall into self-degradation for a while, and finally when he is not used to the future life, he will remember Ye Bai's kindness to him, and then he will tremble and flip out Ye Bai's suicide note, kneel in front of Ye Bai's grave and cry bitterly, saying that he was wrong.]
Ye Wangxing was already familiar with this routine. When he was hooked by those novels in the past, most of the endings were like this.
——Ye Wangxing felt like her breast nodules were about to burst out of anger after seeing this.
[…Is this what humans are like? ]
Yijiu analyzed Ye Wangxing's words and then expressed such doubts.
Didn’t Yiqi say that humans are one of the most emotionally rich species in the entire universe?
It is normal for people to have psychological problems during war, so it is not surprising that Yijiu would see all kinds of strange behaviors of soldiers and commanders during war. But the host's country is obviously quite peaceful?
[Some humans are like this. After all, other species also have diversity, so naturally humans do too.] Ye Wangxing sighed and said.
[I do have a strong sense of empathy. According to my dad, I would cry when I watched Tom and Jerry when I was a kid. I didn’t expect that I would become such a cheerful person when I grew up.]
As Ye Wangxing spoke, his mood became a little low. When Ye Wangxing said this, Yijiu had already discovered that the emotional alarm on his host had started to sound.
Yijiu's brain CPU immediately started running at a high speed and analyzed its host. Finally, it determined that its host was probably missing home.
This made Yijiu a little tricky.
If it was something else, it would be easy to deal with. For example, if he was dissatisfied with Woden, he could get rid of Woden without anyone noticing and make him disappear from the world in a physical sense.
But if the host misses home...
Yijiu really didn't have any good solution. He was not a real smart refrigerator. He knew that if he played the images of the host's parents, it would make the host cry, unless the real people came.
But this is really impossible.
Just when Yijiu was at a loss, and even the emotion spread to his limbs, causing Yijiu's system to get stuck, Ye Wangxing came back to his senses from his previous emotions.
[It's okay. I was a little homesick just now, but now I've come to my senses. There's no point in complaining about myself. Let's finish the task first. At most, it will take a month, and then we can finish this task!]
The young man smiled again and said to Yijiu.
However, the two-meter-tall system on the other side did not directly avoid the topic, but spoke to the young man in his usual calm voice.
[Host, do you need a hug? ]
Ye Wangxing was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Yijiu said that. He was actually fine now.
But when he looked up at Yijiu's open arms, Ye Wangxing found that he did not seem to be okay.
He was still somewhat sentimental.
But not much, no need for psychiatrist intervention.
The young man with black hair and black eyes walked over and gave Yijiu a hug as well.
——A hug is enough.
After Ye Wangxing had fully recharged himself, he began to carry out the next task with full energy.
He did not let Yijiu appear at the banquet because Yijiu's current acting skills were not enough to act out this kind of sadness mixed with shock. Once at the banquet, this shock would have to be mixed with the thoughtfulness of discovering the truth.
——In the end, he also has to act out the feeling of pretending after discovering the truth but not letting others see it, so that only people who know the truth can see it.
The last sentence was confusing even for Ye Wangxing just by reading it out loud. It was better not to make things difficult for Yijiu. After all, the incident happened suddenly and he was extremely sad. It was normal to forget to invite them.
It just so happens that I can find out the truth later and talk to Ye Wangxing about the matter, so that the plan will be more logical.
With this idea in mind, Ye Wangxing asked Admiral Otas to come and see him that night.
Ye Wangxing directly arranged a quarrel on the rooftop, but in the end he cried and fell asleep in the arms of Admiral Otas because of his brother's death.
However, what Ye Wangxing found a little strange was that Yijiu clearly told him that Warden had come to the hotel, but he did not see him until he woke up the next morning.
Ye Wangxing, who had dressed himself up as if he had done nothing, followed Yijiu, who had been in deep thought on the rooftop all night, to the hall in confusion. He thought that he would not run into Woden today like he did before.
However, Ye Wangxing saw Warden as soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby.
A drunk man with lipstick marks on his neck, it was obviously Warden who had just crawled out of bed.
Ye Wangxing looked at Warden and then at the charming male companion beside him.
Finally, he rolled up his sleeves silently.
——Hunting time.jpg
"ah!"
That day, Worden's inhuman screams were heard in the hotel lobby.
"…Your Majesty didn't care about Woden being beaten?"
Martha said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, didn't you even give a verbal warning this time? At least you gave a verbal warning to the Chancellor's family before."
Elina sat on the sofa with a happy expression and said, "Who told this guy to find a sex partner and go to a hotel room on the night of the funeral? He happened to be seen by the eldest son of the Ye family who had been crying all night. If Admiral Otas had not had some sense and knew that this man was still the crown prince and could not be killed, Ye Wangxing might have pulled out the pistol that Admiral Otas carried with him and shot Warden in the face."
"No wonder she went to get a room with her sex partner on the night of her fiancé's funeral. It's not unfair for her to be beaten by his family. Anyway, there's no one around to mediate."
Martha said this deliberately to the third person sitting nearby.
"Are you right, Ye Bai?"
Ye Bai looked at his brother, friends and the news coming from the Internet with a complicated expression.
Ye Bai had planned that the funeral did not attract much attention in order to minimize the impact of his fake death.
But what he didn't expect was that Warden couldn't help himself and checked into a hotel with someone even on the night of his funeral.
When Ye Bai saw the drunken look of Warden, he even did not forget to tease his temporary sex buddy when he left.
“Crash——”
Ye Bai heard the voice of his own filter about Woden shattered.
However, what Ye Bai did not expect was that in the following month, Woden seemed to have passed all the tests, and shattered the filters in Ye Bai's heart layer by layer.
Sometimes he was overconfident and sometimes he spoke ill of the common people. Later he even almost committed a crime, but was stopped by the servants sent to Woden by the palace.
…but this was also the straw that broke the camel’s back.
"I have decided to break off my engagement with Woden."
Ye Bai stood in the living room and spoke solemnly to Elena and Martha.
Elina and Martha didn't react at first and sneered. They were about to ask what happened this time that shattered Ye Bai's filter on Woden.
But when their brains finally reacted, the sarcasm on their faces suddenly turned into shock, and Elina even sprayed the coffee she had just poured.
Elina wiped the corner of her mouth in a rare look of embarrassment and looked up in disbelief.
"——The water in your brain has finally come out?!"
Ye Bai said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Yes, I also realized that Warden and I are really not suitable, so I decided to go to him and explain this matter to him in person. He apologized to him and said that I played a trick on him and broke up with him completely."
Elina looked at Ye Bai with suspicion, but since Ye Bai rarely expressed his intention to draw a line between himself and Warden, she would not waste this good opportunity.
Half an hour later.
"I've already talked to my aunt, and she gave me the password to the Waldens. Now go and talk to him right now while you're still sober. Martha and I will be waiting for you at the door. If you don't say goodbye, you won't be able to leave this door today! Do you understand?"
Elina was still wearing the coffee-stained dress, and it looked like she hadn't had time to change, while Martha nodded seriously.
They didn't notice that in the manor next to them, a head with black hair and a head with golden hair were peeking out from the wall.
Ye Bai looked at his two friends and felt a little amused, but he still took a deep breath and walked in.
Elena and Martha also followed into the hall, where they waited for Ye Bai to come out after breaking up.
However……
“Ahhhh there’s a ghost!”
In the audio-visual room upstairs, Worden's screams echoed through the sky.
"Woden! I'm alive, don't run forward or you might fall!"
Ye Bai's voice followed closely.
Unfortunately, Woden never listened to him, and this time was no exception, so...
Warden had just run to the hall when the spiral staircase that he used to pretend to be in his house tripped him up. Without hesitation, he chose to quickly go down the spiral staircase, but his bare feet, which were not even wearing shoes, tripped on the carpet and he fell straight forward.
“——Aaaaaah!” X3
One minute later, the palace.
The emperor looked at the light energy in his hand in disbelief and asked his niece on the other end of the phone again.
"What did you say? Worden is dead?"
