This was a secretive yet grand welcome party.
Legend has it that when Miss Yang An arrived in the Imperial Star System, His Majesty the Emperor, despite his busy schedule, always made time to have a cordial meeting with her.
The Emperor inquired about Miss Yang's health and daily life with concern, and expressed his respect and gratitude for her outstanding contributions to the development of weapon material technology in the Galactic Empire...
"Father, Father—"
The Emperor listened attentively to her opinions and suggestions regarding the cultivation of innovative scientific and technological talent, and stated that military strength is an important measure of a nation's comprehensive national power, and that military technology plays a vital role in enhancing the Galactic Empire's international standing...
"Father! Father!"
"Backwardness invites aggression. A nation's standing depends on its military strength. To advance modern military development, we must vigorously promote military science and technology innovation and application, and cultivate more military science and technology personnel..."
"Old man! Are you even listening to me?! Hey! Hey!"
Hearing the incessant chatter, the emperor finally lost his temper and stopped rambling. He snapped the newspaper shut and gave a soft hum.
"What are you yelling for, trying to call back your soul?"
Xuan Ting: "...Didn't you just not hear me?"
"You were shouting so loudly, how could I not hear you? You little brat, you just woke up and you're already being naughty. Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so you should lie down and rest."
"No. I need to see An'an, let me out! My injuries have all healed, I don't need to lie in bed every day anymore!"
The emperor was so angry he almost laughed.
Five days ago, as soon as the starship protecting Yang An'an entered the Imperial Star System, he dared to sense the aura of his son's soul.
Sure enough, not long after, someone rushed in to report that the Crown Prince had woken up.
—His spiritual body had actually returned with Yang An'an's starship.
When the Emperor sent Ross to visit Perseus, his intention was to have his son's spirit infiltrate Ross's fleet.
However, he did not expect that the spiritual body could not move freely.
If Yang An'an hadn't brought her son's sword from planet E976-INE86 to the E976 transit station, then gone to the Perseus capital, and then borrowed a starship to return to the Imperial System...
I'm afraid if one link in the chain is missing, my son won't be able to come back!
After learning the details of the incident from Xuan Ting, the emperor was filled with lingering fear, but also felt extremely fortunate. He was even more grateful to Yang An'an.
He was afraid that Xuan Ting's body had not fully recovered, so he kept him in the palace to recuperate. Perhaps because his spirit body had been separated from his body for too long, when Xuan Ting first woke up, he could only move his eyelids. He couldn't even utter a sound, let alone get up.
Fortunately, Xuan Ting has double SSS aptitude, and his self-healing speed is extremely fast. After lying down for five days, he was finally able to get out of bed and walk a few steps.
The emperor glanced at him sideways: "When I saw that girl yesterday, she was so well-behaved, cute, and smart. You're saying she's your girlfriend? I just don't believe it! Such a nice girl, how could she agree to be with a scoundrel like you? You're not trying to trick me."
When he met that girl yesterday, his own son was still bedridden and unable to move. He was shouting for someone to carry him out so he could meet her.
The emperor was extremely disgusted and, without hesitation, ordered his mouth gagged and sent him back—his son might not care about his reputation, but the father certainly did!
"Are you even a real father? How can you be so disgusted with your son?!" Xuan Ting tried to cover up his guilty conscience with righteous words, "An An is of course my girlfriend, but she's shy. Please don't mention our relationship in front of her, I'm afraid she'll get embarrassed..."
