No one has ever seen the princess in person.
As dusk approached, the newlyweds waved goodbye to Cen Yu and his companion, preparing to explore other places further.
While Cen Yu was talking to the other person, Chi Jiazhen stood there quietly listening. Only after seeing the two people leave did he slowly walk to Cen Yu's side. "Going back?"
"go back."
After thinking for a moment, Cen Yu said to Chi Jiazhen, "I need to buy a new communicator."
After entering the Federation, their communicators were temporarily unusable; in some respects, they are now "unregistered."
"You want to go back to the Empire?" Chi Jiazhen asked.
Cen Yu did not deny it.
Chi Jiazhen remained silent as they walked along the coconut trees toward the hotel.
"I don't want to go back," Chi Jiazhen finally said.
“You don’t need to take me,” Cen Yu replied immediately.
Chi Jiazhen frowned. "You can't let go of Li Chonghe?"
"..." Cen Yu was baffled. "I can't let go of my studies." What does that have to do with Li Chonghe?
Chi Jiazhen turned to look at Cen Yu, "You know I won't let you go back."
"I was willing to expose my identity to take you away, so I never intended to let you return to the Empire."
He quickened his pace as he spoke, whether he didn't want to see the expression on Cen Yu's face or simply wanted to leave the atmosphere, it was unclear.
Cen Yu, wearing slippers, walked slowly behind Chi Jiazhen, not understanding why the person walked so fast after finishing speaking... This was indeed a vacation planet, with people everywhere laughing because they had drunk Haha Fruit smoothies. He glanced at them a few more times, then followed Chi Jiazhen and left the place.
...
There's a problem.
Sang Huaizhou said in his dormitory.
They have returned to campus from Nott.
In addition to the original three roommates, Lou Miao'an and Jiang Yan were also in the dormitory. Lou Miao'an was there because he was Chi Jiazhen's roommate, while Jiang Yan complained that the boss had disappeared, so how could he stay there in peace?
"What do you think?" Lan Yao asked Wen Xihe.
“Chi Jiazhen, Cen Yu, and Li Chonghe disappeared together.” Wen Xi hadn’t slept much lately and now had dark circles under her eyes. “Li Chonghe and Wen Zhen have both returned, only the two of them are missing?”
"Something's not right."
They had all seen the contents of the spaceship and knew that the three of them had landed on this spaceship bound for Aquamarine after escaping the King Worm.
Wen Zhen disappeared in the vicinity.
Judging from the results, Cen Yu and the others must have encountered Wen Zhen on Aquamarine Star and then brought her to meet Huo Shen on Garbage Star.
Why did only Li Chonghe and Wen Zhen return, while the other two disappeared without a trace?
After the starship met Huo Shen's spaceship, they naturally learned of the news and wanted to visit Li Chonghe to find more clues, but were turned away by Huo Shen's adjutant, who said that His Highness was recuperating and it was inconvenient for him to receive guests.
They did not see Li Chonghe, who was supposedly recuperating on the starship, until they returned to Xingdu.
"Didn't your family get any intelligence?" Sang Huaizhou asked Lan Yao again.
Among them, the Lan Yao family has a deeper network of connections and can find out more information.
"Some bad news." Lan Yao leaned back on the sofa. "Li Chonghe's glands have a problem."
"Didn't we already know this?" Wen Xi frowned. Back on Planet Nott, Li Chonghe's glands had already developed problems, so why was it being mentioned again?
“That’s the problem,” Lan Yao said. “From what I know, the reason Li Chonghe was recuperating on the starship was because of a gland injury…”
However, judging from the live broadcast on StarNet at the time, the injury on the back of Li Chonghe's neck had almost healed by then.
“Either he was injured twice, or he was hiding some information,” Lan Yao said, holding up his finger.
“Li Chonghe is injured, and Chi Jiazhen and Cen Yu have disappeared.” Lou Miaoan, who was not usually talkative, also spoke up. “But we all know that Chi Jiazhen is inextricably linked to the Zerg.”
This is something everyone knows perfectly well.
It's no secret that Cen Yu's brother is being secretly kept under guard.
Everything points to a similar outcome—
Chi Jiazhen's identity is questionable.
“But I don’t understand.” Jiang Yan genuinely didn’t understand. “If Chi Jiazhen really is a Zerg, why would she go to such lengths to conceal her identity and come to this planet?”
"This person doesn't seem to be a pure Zergling? Is he a hybrid?"
In his memory, Chi Jiazhen had absolutely no connection with the Zerg.
“However, there is one thing we can speculate on,” Sang Huaizhou said. “Li Chonghe’s injury is nothing to be ashamed of, so why are Huo Shen and the others hiding it from us?”
Even if the glands are damaged, they shouldn't be covered up so thoroughly.
"The things that the underground laboratory was researching..." Sang Huaizhou said, "Chi Jiazhen was born in that laboratory."
While staying on the planet Nott, they collected more data, along with the half-human, half-insect creatures in the underground laboratory, the research on Adam and Eve, and the information that Chi Jiazhen traveled from a Nott-type planet to that remote star—all of these combined allowed them to piece together the truth.
“No one knows what Chi Jiazhen’s abilities are,” Wen Xihe said, rubbing his temples as he finally voiced the deeper concern that everyone had been avoiding talking about.
"Chi Jiazhen is a Zerg, and Cen Yu is an Alpha."
The other party's escape with Cen Yu seems like a nest-building behavior.
Wen Xihe's words caused a brief silence to fall over the group of people in the dormitory.
“…I have an idea,” Lou Miao’an suddenly said.
