Chapter 193: Getting Something for Nothing



Ten thousand meters above the sky.

Pei Ji leaned on his sword, the sharp blade less than a millimeter away from An Luya's hand on the wing.

Luya's entire body was suspended in mid-air, one hand grasping the groove of the wing, the other still holding her sword.

"Does it feel good to look up at others, Your Highness?" Pei Ji squatted down and looked down at her.

Lu Ya was panting, his chest heaving violently, and his long hair was blown all over the place by the wind, making him look particularly disheveled.

She seemed to have no strength left and smiled tiredly.

She couldn't beat Pei Ji.

This Alpha who looks extremely crazy is, for some reason, exceptionally calm during battle.

All her attacks were seen through, all her thoughts were under Pei Ji's control, and her sword was as ridiculous as a toy in front of Pei Ji.

She had seen the mecha battle between Pei Ji and Lu Sirang before, and it was not like this. At that time, Pei Ji was ferocious and violent, and attacked almost entirely on instinct, not at all as relaxed as he is now.

The Royal Court's swordsmanship teacher told Guo Luya that in a simple swordsmanship competition, awareness accounts for 70% and skill only accounts for 30%.

Pei Ji's awareness was much better than hers.

She lost completely.

"Did Chen Que call you?" Lu Ya asked.

Pei Ji asked in a provocative tone, "Are you jealous?"

Lu Ya remained noncommittal.

Pei Ji suddenly felt that his actions and tone were very similar to those of villains in certain film and television dramas.

This is not good.

Generally, villains don't have a good ending.

He cleared his throat and said, "That's all you're good at. You know how to care for the people you like."

Lu Ya paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "I don't have too many wishes in this world, and one of them is that Shen Que can live a good life."

Pei Ji laughed and said, "To be honest, when I first learned that there was a competitor like you, I really thought about it. If he was willing to choose you, I would withdraw."

Luya frowned.

"Childhood sweethearts, high-ranking and powerful, it's a good match for him."

Pei Ji held her hand.

Lu Ya hesitated for a moment, let go of the wing, and handed the weight to Pei Ji.

"You don't feel that way now?"

Pei Ji pulled hard.

"Yes."

He pulled up the lure, allowing her feet to climb onto the side of the "Eclipse" again, giving her a foothold.

"Because I found that you didn't really like him. You just had some thoughts about him. I don't know what they were, but you didn't really set your sights on him."

Lu Ya was stunned, "What do you mean..."

Pei Ji glanced at her and said, "Literally, you don't understand him."

"Your eyes are always on Carolina. Shen Que is just an excuse, a comfort."

"Your Highness, do you know what Shen Que really wants?"

"I..." Lu Ya opened his mouth.

Pei Ji: "You don't know."

"You only recognize that he is standing perfectly where you think he should be and doing what you think he should do. But you don't know and don't care how painful he is."

The conversation during the opening dance once again appeared in Lu Ya's mind, every word was profound and clear.

Her brother, who was always calm and composed, asked her back with a contemptuous tone that she had never heard before.

Should I?

"Don't I understand him?" Lu Ya murmured.

The wind from high altitude cut her cheeks like a knife. Lu Ya suddenly felt her eyes dry, as if the goggles had completely lost their effect.

"Not only do you not understand him," Pei Ji said slowly, "besides your mother, have you ever cast your eyes on anyone else? Have you ever cast your eyes on your people?"

Lu Ya: "My...people?"

Pei Ji finally gave her a hand.

At the last moment of climbing up the Eclipse Sky, for some unknown reason, Luya suddenly lowered his head and looked down.

The twinkling lights outline the magnificent city network, like another galaxy drawn on the surface of the earth.

Her people, her Messiah.

"I accept the defeat, Your Highness." Pei Ji dusted off his hands, handcuffed Lu Ya again, and locked them on the wing of the Eclipse Sky with a click.

"You are still far from being an heir. As my mother would say, you are still at the most primitive stage of evolution, the paramecium stage."

The corners of Lu Ya's mouth twitched.

"Come with me and turn yourself in. Hug your mother's thighs and cry. You'll get less punishment."

Pei Ji said this in a tone that I understood very well while patting Lu Ya's shoulder.

"besides."

He applied a little force to his palms, and there was a hint of danger in his tone.

"Stay away from my Omega, you don't deserve him!"

Luya rolled his eyes.

At the same time, in the left wing of the palace, in the bedroom.

The moment the floor-to-ceiling window made a noise, Anya took a step forward, and the hidden weapon at her waist flew out of her hand, hitting the throat of the person who came at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Feng Shixu raised his hands above his head and glanced at the little maid who was holding a strange dagger against his neck.

Because of this glance, the dagger moved another inch closer to his neck.

Help... I should have known not to climb through the window...

The ball on the bed moved, revealing its head.

Shen Que covered his head, sat up, and injected himself with a tube of inhibitor.

"Don't be impulsive." Feng Shixu forced a smile, "I just came to ask something."

Shen Que gave him a cold look, "Do you need to climb through the window?"

"Ha..." Feng Shixu stepped back tactfully.

The Alpha pheromones in the air prevented him from smelling the scent of Omega, but judging from the dosage injected, it was not advisable to stay here for long.

Feng Shixu quickly spoke up: "I just want to ask if General Pei has kidnapped the princess."

Shen Que was slightly stunned.

He looked at Anya.

Anya looked away.

Shen Que was silent for two seconds, "I don't know, don't ask me."

Feng Shixu sighed deeply: "I hope we can have a good talk. How could you not know the whereabouts of General Pei?"

Shen Que adjusted the collar of his pajamas and buttoned them up meticulously. "Do I look like the kind of Omega who's very controlling and has to check on her husband wherever he goes?"

After listening to the phone call just now, Anya didn't dare to say a word.

Feng Shixu: “…”

Shen Que glanced at him, a deep color flashing in his deep eyes.

"Commander Feng is very well-connected and has connections everywhere. He must have a way to find out Pei Ji's whereabouts. Why are you asking me?"

Feng Shixu sighed again.

Of course he has his own way, and he's already investigating, but it will take some time. By the time he finds out, the princess might already be dead...

Feng Shixu narrowed his eyes and decided not to play dumb with smart people anymore.

"What information do you need from me in exchange?" he asked straight to the point.

The corners of Shen Que's mouth rose a little.

"Intelligence on the First Fleet's defeat."

He is also good at getting something for nothing.
