Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Malus…
Malus’ body suddenly froze.
His lungs expanded, and the blood seemed to be redistributed by the beating of his heart, flowing quickly, eagerly, and as if singing, into his limbs. A faint bloody aura floated on his skin. He could feel the warmth on his cheeks, and perhaps now there were two faint blushes.
Tang En had already stood up. She didn’t know that her words had already made Malus blush, but she did know that this sentence was "overstepping the line."
She stood in front of the small window, "We can reach the Xi system in three days. In the distant past, a distance of one light year could trap humans for 4,000 years, but now we can cross 50 light years in three days."
"Humanity has been overcoming technological difficulties and creating miracles, right?" Tang En asked.
Philus calmed down and stood up.
"Yes." Philus replied.
He found it a little difficult to say anything else now. If he had to say something, he thought the senior sister was very sexy, not physically, but because of the series of things she had just done to him without any physical contact.
"I will work hard to learn how to understand what those people say and how to answer them."
Philus felt that he still couldn't help trembling.
"The reason I told my senior sister is because... I think my senior sister is more important than them," Felix peeled off his thoughts for her to see. This time he did it himself, peeling off his cruel self layer by layer. "One of their words was very right. I should repay them for raising me up, but I don't know why. I can't do it. I... betrayed them."
He even betrayed more than once.
Such betrayals have always been in his life: he now betrayed the thorn bush where he lived since he was 8 years old, and before that, he betrayed Owen who took care of him and kept his secrets since he was 12 years old.
And earlier.
Even earlier, he betrayed his adoptive father. He later learned his name, and later realized that it was the cockroach pills he brought back that killed him.
He blamed Jasper and Owen for betraying him... But why?
Tang En smiled, "Because you want to be a human being beside me, not a tool beside them."
"It is natural for people to want to be human beings."
Tang En sometimes felt that she was really dreaming.
A dream in which she was the only one in the world, or the whole world was dreaming and she was the only one awake.
So she still looked at the star field in front of her with kindness and compassion.
This was also like looking at herself and others reflected in the window.
But she found that when her eyes looked at herself, there was no mercy at all, only constant scrutiny and exploration, exploring whether the creature under this skin could be called a human being.
Tang En turned around.
She ruffled Phaerus' hair and cupped his face, messing up his appearance.
The so-called slavery is a faked human nature, which means to simply accept the arrangement and sacrifice everything for the orders of others. If it is really human nature, then no slave will feel pain, despair, or even death, and no one will resist.
"Go back, the luggage delivery robot is coming."
She rushed Phaerus out, and sure enough, there were robots busy outside.
Their logistics captain, Alicia, was carrying two boxes of luggage in her hands. When she saw Phaerus being pushed out of Tang En's room with messy hair, her eyes widened.
"Don, you..." Alicia said helplessly, "There will be a recording later, and everyone will be on camera. Why did you mess up other people's hair again?"
Felix said immediately, "I want to."
Don leaned against the door frame and blinked his left eye at Alicia.
"Please make way."
A young man with an elegant voice came from behind Alicia, and she leaned over.
The second prince of the empire with black hair and green eyes appeared in front of Don and Felix.
"Don Campbell, hello, I don't think I need to introduce myself."
