Chapter 129
Fang Yun stood at the door of Ye Wangxing's workshop, breathing slightly, his eyes fixed on the young man who was sweating profusely as he looked at the five chat windows in front of him.
Ye Wangxing was wearing an oil-stained work vest. The fabric of the vest was tightly attached to his body, outlining the thin layer of muscle lines on his body.
The waistline is narrow and tight, slightly tightening with movement, and the outline of the shoulder blades is faintly visible under the vest.
His short black hair was a little messy and sticking up, and his amber eyes frantically scanned the five chat windows in front of him, as if he'd been called out for a chat while working. There was even a smudge of motor oil on the tip of his nose. His features were clearly more flamboyant, but in this setting, they looked a bit endearing.
"No wonder the eldest prince won't let go..." Fang Yun thought, with a gentle smile on his face as usual.
Fang Yun had actually thought carefully before coming here this time. First, Ye Wangxing and the eldest prince broke up, and it would affect the Ye family.
second……
With His Majesty's methods, Ye Wangxing would definitely not be able to withstand it. If the eldest prince argued with His Majesty again, it would definitely be Ye Wangxing instead of the eldest prince who would be dealt with.
...By then, life or death will be unpredictable.
Although Fang Yun and Ye Wangxing are in competition, he does not think that Ye Wangxing deserves to end up like this.
Perhaps it was Ye Wangxing's shining appearance on the court that touched Fang Yun, so he came over to remind Ye Wangxing after all.
"Brother." Fang Yun knocked on the door with a gentle voice, which was very different from his previous green tea look.
When the young man standing at the door heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was Fang Yun. His face, which was originally a little sad, immediately showed an expression of surprise, and the screws at the corners of his mouth almost fell off.
But then a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Just when Fang Yun was a little surprised why Ye Wangxing was so happy to see him, Ye Wangxing sent a voice message to the five chat windows in front of him at the same time.
"——My brother is here, I won't say any more, you guys should go to bed early!"
After saying that, Ye Wangxing immediately closed all the chat windows without even looking at the messages sent by the other party before the chat window was closed.
His flustered look finally caused the screw at the corner of his mouth to fall off.
Ye Wangxing quickly caught it with his hand, stuffed it into his pocket, stood up and patted the dust off his pants.
His movements were casual and he looked a bit cool. His long legs looked particularly straight under his overalls. The trouser legs were rolled up to his ankles, revealing a pair of bony ankles.
"Fang Yun? Why are you here?"
Ye Wangxing asked in a clear voice with an unconcealable joy.
Fang Yun walked into the laboratory and glanced at the parts and tools on the floor. He frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure.
He was still not used to this kind of place with engine oil everywhere. I guess only Ye Wangxing would like it.
Fang Yun thought about it, then walked up to Ye Wangxing and said gently: "I came to see you, how are you doing recently?"
Ye Wangxing was surprised to hear Fang Yun ask this, with a strange look on his face, as if he didn't understand why Fang Yun would say such a homely thing, but he still replied: "I'm fine. I've been busy with the competition recently, and nothing is going wrong."
Fang Yun looked at his proud face and felt helpless. This guy didn't realize that something was wrong today.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and decided to get straight to the point: "Brother, did you know that His Majesty is coming today? He might have some opinions about your relationship with the eldest prince."
Ye Wangxing was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashing in his honey-like amber eyes: "Your Majesty? What is he doing here?"
Fang Yun looked at his puzzled expression and felt even more helpless.
He tried to make his tone sound gentler: "Brother, the point is that he might have some issues with your relationship with the eldest prince. After all, you are pregnant..."
Fang Yun pointed at Ye Wangxing's belly, and Ye Wangxing lowered his head, then suddenly realized.
Just when Fang Yun thought that the boy was teachable and Ye Wangxing should finally understand, Ye Wangxing spoke.
"——This is something I really need to pay attention to. After this modification, I can't be the only one to perform the demonstration. The mental receiver also needs to be modified."
Looking at Ye Wangxing, whose mind was full of mechanical thoughts and who had no sensitivity towards the royal family at all, Fang Yun wished he could share half of his ambition and understanding of the nobility with Ye Wangxing.
——If Ye Wangxing had any understanding of those nobles and royal families, he would understand that his current situation is really dangerous!
Nobles usually marry omegas, and Ye Wangxing is only a beta. Even if she gets pregnant, the child will be inferior to those nobles who believe in gender equality. It is entirely possible that she will be forced to abort the child!
It is even possible that those crazy people in the royal family will study Ye Wangxing's physique to see how this beta got pregnant.
Even if Ye Wangxing has other mistresses, his life will not be threatened, but the child will definitely not be saved!
And although His Majesty has never shown support for the actions of those royal family members before, he has already had two children with them, and he also opposes it!
Fang Yun really wanted Ye Wangxing to wake up a little.
But no matter what he said, Ye Wangxing just didn't understand. He said that His Majesty might have bad thoughts about him, but Ye Wangxing just nodded and started studying his exoskeleton mecha again.
When Ye Wangxing was told to pay attention to the baby in her belly, he nodded to indicate that he should pay attention. Then he turned around and asked the robot to send him a model dummy to be tied to the exoskeleton mecha in his place.
Fang Yun really talked until his mouth was dry, and when he saw the surveillance camera next to him, he didn't dare to say it too clearly.
In the end, there was really no other way, Fang Yun could only grit his teeth and admit that Ye Wangxing was just a stupid fool.
"——Anyway, your family is your last resort. If anything happens, just come to me. I might be able to help you then."
Fang Yun looked at Ye Wangxing's indifferent expression, took a deep breath, and promised.
Ye Wangxing didn't know whether he really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand. Looking at Fang Yun's serious expression, he nodded seriously and agreed.
Seeing Ye Wangxing agree, Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had provided a layer of protection for this little boy.
But even though Fang Yun had relaxed, his emotions still became complicated when he looked at Ye Wangxing.
After all, to a certain extent, Ye Wangxing had been living the life of a rich young master for so many years, but he and Ye's parents did not live well either. It was as if he had robbed him of his warm family.
The relationship between the two families was so complicated that even though Fang Yun was ruthless in plotting against Ye Wangxing, he still had complicated feelings towards Ye Wangxing in private.
But he was busy fighting for the family property and Huo Zhengchuan, and he had never had a good chat with Ye Wangxing before. Today, because he was worried about Ye Wangxing coming over, such a rare calm conversation took place.
So, under the influence of an inexplicable emotion, Fang Yun suddenly asked.
"Ye Wangxing." He gave up the hypocritical title of brother and said.
"—Do you really not hate your family? After all, you used to be the young master of the Ye family, enjoying such a wealthy life, and now you have to show up in public and participate in such competitions to maintain your status."
Ye Wangxing seemed to be caught off guard by this topic. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Fang Yun also realized that he had been impulsive, and after looking at the monitor next to him, he fell silent.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time before Ye Wangxing's voice rang out.
"——Let's talk about this after I finish my match. Right now, the match is more important. Things that can't be resolved right now can be put off until later."
As Ye Wangxing spoke, he turned around and immediately faced the high-precision lathe next to him, and began to control the AI on the lathe, looking as if he was seriously completing his work.
...No matter how you look at it, it has an ostrich-like feel.
Fang Yun, a shrewd man, was speechless when he saw his ostrich-like expression.
He finally realized that Ye Wangxing was not pretending to be stupid, but really didn't know how to deal with these complicated interpersonal relationships.
So he chose the dumbest approach.
Just run away like an ostrich and find an excuse that no one can refuse.
It's like a cat that has stuffed its head into the quilt, hypnotizing others so that they can't see it.
Fang Yun let out a long sigh.
"Anyway, if you need any help, remember what I said before."
Hearing this, Ye Wangxing hummed twice, his eyes still fixed on the machine tool, not daring to look back at Fang Yun. Fang Yun rubbed his eyebrows and thought that it was no wonder that Ye Wangxing could play with his feelings like this.
He really wasn't trying to keep people hanging. He simply couldn't handle this kind of thing, so he chose to play ostrich.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun remembered the scene where Ye Wangxing and Yan Yi confidently said that he was a scumbag.
Now it seems that Ye Wangxing really has nothing to hide - as long as they ask.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun turned around and left, intending to return to Huo Zhengchuan. After all, this time Huo Zhengchuan had applied for the task of explaining the situation, and he was waiting to observe Huo Zhengchuan's emotions to see if there was anything he could do.
What he didn't notice was that after he left, Ye Wangxing casually turned his face towards the camera and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had a secret in his heart but couldn't hide it.
While on the way, Fang Yun also thought about Ji Fangtao's problem, but thinking about Ye Wangxing's four mistresses and their current relationship with Ye Wangxing, Mrs. Ji's plan was basically impossible to achieve.
I just wonder if they will still have the idea of arranging a marriage with Ye Wangxing when they see His Majesty the Emperor coming over with a threatening look to break up the couple.
--really.
Fang Yun looked at Ji Fangtao who was talking excitedly to Huo Zhengchuan, and when he saw that Old Madam Ji had given up the idea, he showed an understanding expression.
However, Fang Yun did not step forward immediately. He just observed Huo Zhengchuan's expression from the side. After he was sure that Huo Zhengchuan was impatient, he stepped forward. With the first few words, he coaxed Ji Fangtao away and gave Huo Zhengchuan some peace and quiet.
"...I don't know what I would do without you."
Huo Zhengchuan sighed and his eyes softened as he looked at Fang Yun. He then tidied up his clothes and went out to discuss the process with the director.
Fang Yun looked at Huo Zhengchuan with a smile, feeling slightly relieved. He had made a good impression this time. Just as he was about to take a short break and enjoy the game, several voices rang out from behind him.
"...I don't know how a country omega like this could have caught the eye of the Crown Prince."
"Maybe it's because she's more virtuous. After all, women from the countryside seem to put their husbands first. Even I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to eat this kind of food."
"He's not even as good as that Beta in this regard. Although Beta's genes are relatively ordinary, he at least received an orthodox aristocratic education. In the future, his status may even be higher than that of this real young master Omega."
Fang Yun listened to the voice behind him and sighed again.
He sighed a lot today, but he really couldn't express his feelings in other ways.
"——It's about to start slapping people in the face again. Can these guys change the way they talk behind people's backs?"
"...The competition is about to begin. I hope all the players will play with style and skill. I also hope that all the spectators here will be friendly and not disrupt others' viewing experience."
When Huo Zhengchuan's voice resounded throughout the entire competition venue, Ji Fangtao was still a little confused, but then he saw Fang Yun's expression that looked like he was about to cry and immediately understood what had happened. Then his eyes became fierce as he looked at the omegas who had just stood behind Fang Yun.
After being scolded by Fang Yun, and being scolded by Huo Zhengchuan in front of everyone, and finally being stared at by the little bully of the Ji family, the omegas said: "..."
No, you three are here to launch a series of attacks, right?
However, Huo Zhengchuan's words were just a minor episode, and everyone's attention quickly focused on the scene.
Inside the testing grounds, the atmosphere was solemn and tense. The contestants' exoskeletons took the stage one by one, each showcasing their own style and financial resources.
Some mecha shells are as smooth as mirrors, painted in gorgeous colors, and have sophisticated mechanical devices inlaid at the joints, like pieces of art; some mechas appear to be more practical, with shells made of thick armor plates, the surface covered with complex patterns, exuding a sense of heavy power.
Of course, some mechas seem to have learned from the experience of the previous two games and look more civilian.
This also surprised Huo Zhengchuan, who was in charge of the commentary.
In the past, the more gorgeous this kind of exoskeleton mecha was, the better, so as to reflect the taste of the owner who customized it. As a result, those standard mechas would be ridiculed if they appeared on the stage, which led to the slow update of standard mechas.
But the appearance of these mechas on the stage today surprised them a little.
Huo Zhengchuan frowned, wondering if this represented a signal, while the exoskeleton mechas at the scene were still coming up one by one.
When it was Ye Wangxing's mecha's turn to appear, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became subtle.
His mech was completely different from the others—its shell was made of several joined metal plates, coated in a cheap matte paint that made it look gray and dull. Its joints were exposed with gears and hydraulics, which made a slight "clicking" sound when in operation, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
However, its design is extremely simple, with each metal plate fitting the contours of the body perfectly without any unnecessary decoration.
Even more striking was the fact that Ye Wangxing himself wasn't in the cockpit of the mecha, but rather a crude dummy. The dummy's appearance was rough, even a little comical, but Ye Wangxing's mental power was closely connected to the mecha, controlling it to slowly raise its arms and strike a fighting stance.
"What is this? Is it made out of a scrap recycling station?" There was an uproar in the audience, and someone murmured in a low voice.
"A dummy? He doesn't even dare to test it himself?"
"It looks way too cheap, doesn't it? Will it hold up to the test?"
Some of the audience had doubts, and some were worried whether Ye Wangxing could get a good ranking this time.
After all, Ye Wangxing's previous actions have benefited some people. The missile in the first game only surprised everyone, but the mechanical cat made in the second game has been pushed to some remote planets by the highly mobile prince in the past half month.
——The most important thing is that this mechanical cat does not need to pay taxes. It is subsidized by the government and only the sender needs to pay the shipping fee, but it is still very cheap.
This has also led to an increasing number of calls for mechanical cats to enter big cities during this period.
This also allowed Ye Wangxing to gain some fans, but now these fans are very worried about Ye Wangxing's situation.
——Especially when the broadcast announced that Ye Wangxing’s mecha would be tested by the emperor himself.
When Huo Zhengchuan read this manuscript, he was shocked at first and then showed an expression of understanding.
It seems that my father still cares about the relationship between Ye Wangxing and my eldest brother, and he even plans to beat him up personally.
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing seemed to know something in advance and only stuffed a dummy into the exoskeleton this time, otherwise he might have lost his life this time.
Corresponding to this was the expression of Fang Yun in the audience. He looked at Ye Wangxing with concern at the test site. He seemed a little shocked and seemed to have expected this, fearing that he could not withstand the blow.
However, Ye Wangxing was only stunned for a moment and then began to debug other mechanical exoskeletons in full swing.
Fang Yun couldn't help but turn his gaze to the tall man who had stood up from the referee's seat and was stretching his muscles.
When their Majesty stood up, his chest muscles, which were already a little tense, were now even more exposed, causing many viewers to look away.
Unfortunately, His Majesty didn't put on his armor in public, but instead went to a nearby dressing room to change into it before arriving at the test site, leaving many on the spectators disappointed. But then their disappointment turned into surprise.
——The ordinary armor that their Majesty was wearing clung tightly to his body, revealing his muscles clearly.
The force of the armor belt against the waist and abdomen makes the abdominal muscles more violent, and the body divided by the armor is like a beast locked in an iron cage. The muscle lines exposed at the connection between each piece of armor make people blush and their heart beat fast.
The hydraulic device rises and falls between the abdominal muscle grooves with breathing, and the belt on the thigh directly outlines the muscle lines.
Seeing this, Fang Yun was still sighing that His Majesty's physique was one of the best in the entire empire. However, this body of muscles, while beautiful, also represented danger. He didn't know how Ye Wangxing would deal with it.
Fang Yun thought about it and looked at Ye Wangxing who was standing opposite His Majesty.
Next second.
"..."
Fang Yun looked at Ye Wangxing who was staring at the emperor opposite him, his eyes never leaving the emperor, and he was speechless.
"Isn't it Ye Wangxing who's sitting across from you? He's the eldest prince's biological father. Even if you're infatuated with him, choose a good time. This guy is trying to break up a couple. Why are you so captivated by him?"
Although Fang Yun felt that Ye Wangxing's behavior was understandable, he really couldn't understand why Ye Wangxing was still being infatuated with him even though His Majesty was acting like this.
...even blushed.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not care about these things, and even looked at the exoskeleton mecha worn by the dummy with a fighting look.
The man who looked like the incarnation of a ferocious beast had a playful smile on his face.
He moved his wrists, and the chest muscles under the armor bulged slightly, forming an arc.
"...Psychic battle? I've never played it before."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor rushed towards the mecha, and his fist hit the mecha's chest with a whistling sound.
When Huo Zhengchuan heard what his father said, he looked puzzled. What did it mean that he had never experienced a battle of mental power before?
Didn’t his father often train like this with the guards or soldiers during training?
But before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Ye Wangxing, who had been a little infatuated just now, suddenly burst out with mental strength, as if he had experienced such scenes thousands of times. Under his control, the mecha dodged to the side and barely avoided the attack.
The mecha's counterattack followed closely, and its iron fist, accompanied by a strong wind, smashed into the emperor's side.
A hint of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then the corners of his mouth widened, revealing his white teeth.
He quickly stepped back, dodging the blow, and then launched a fierce kick, aiming for the mech's head. However, the mech's head tilted slightly, avoiding the kick, and then it raised its arms suddenly to block the emperor's next series of attacks.
"...It's quite powerful." The tall man licked his lips, sweat dripping down his chin. "But it's still not as good as before."
This not only made Huo Zhengchuan feel confused, but even Fang Yun beside him was a little puzzled. They watched His Majesty attack Ye Wangxing frantically, and Ye Wangxing seemed to be unable to resist, but...
The emperor did not activate the laser cannon on his armor, and Ye Wangxing did not activate the laser attack on his exoskeleton mecha.
The two of them engaged in hand-to-hand combat in tacit understanding - so tacit understanding that Huo Zhengchuan felt as if something was wrong.
But as time passed, Ye Wangxing was the first to be unable to hold on.
"Bang!"
The man slammed his fist into the mecha's chest, instantly denting the metal plate with a sharp cracking sound. Ye Wangxing groaned, his mental strength taking a hit, and his vision went black.
But he gritted his teeth, unleashed his mental strength once again, and controlled the mecha to fight back.
"Ha! Boy, you are still the same." The emperor said in a low voice, with fighting spirit burning in his golden pupils.
"——I really want to see you tamed."
"Come and try if you can."
Ye Wangxing seemed to be really angry. While speaking provocatively, he controlled the mecha with a cold sweat to make a final counterattack. The mecha's iron fist smashed towards the emperor's chest, but the emperor grabbed it.
"It's over," the emperor said, with a strange excitement in his voice.
He spun around and kicked the mecha in the head, sending it flying. The mecha staggered a few times before finally collapsing to the ground, completely destroyed.
The battle is over.
——But it seems that only Ye Wangxing thinks so.
Fang Yun looked at Ye Wangxing, who had released his mental power and was standing behind the mecha, gasping for breath. He admired his persistence in his heart.
But when he turned around, he saw His Majesty taking off his armor and walking towards Ye Wangxing, looking like he was not having a good time.
Isn't the battle over? Why is Your Majesty still walking towards Ye Wangxing?
Could it be that he still wants to fight with Ye Wangxing?
But Ye Wangxing is a pregnant man now!
A series of thoughts flashed through Fang Yun's mind in an instant, and he stood up nervously. Ye Wangxing also took a step back nervously as he looked at the tall man who walked towards him.
Next second.
The tall man carried Ye Wangxing directly onto his shoulders, and his hands were placed naturally and skillfully on the fleshiest part of the body.
It doesn't look like it was the first day.
As Huo Zhengchuan and all the audience looked stunned, the young man carried on the man's shoulders struggled and screamed.
"——Huo! Jiu! Didn't you promise me that you would pretend not to know me?!"
