"I bought it on StarNet."
Lou Miaoan expressed his opinion cautiously.
None of the people present asked why Lou Miao'an would buy this; his awkward position explained the reason perfectly.
They just didn't expect that Lou Miao'an would actually buy all three.
Lan Yao informed his adjutant that there was new progress on their end.
They soon met at the Fifth Legion's base in the Star Capital. The test results for the three vials of potions came back quickly. The Omega and Beta potions were fine, but the Alpha potion was the problem—
"The results showed that this drug turned people into insects rather than alphas."
The Zerg are all male, and their behavior is similar to that of Alphas. In some ways, all Zerg are Alphas.
The adjutant was surprised to find that Lou Miao'an had a file containing the medicine.
Cen Shen's affair hadn't been exposed yet, so he quickly took the medicine and went to find the other party—
But the result was completely unexpected. Cen Shen glanced at it and said, "How could I possibly sell something like this on the StarNet?"
He looked at his adjutant. "These things are supposed to be secret."
Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide. "Of course, the fewer people who know about this, the better."
The person selling the potion on the StarNet had absolutely no connection to Cen Shen? Perhaps the adjutant had already anticipated this the moment the potion was replaced, so he wasn't particularly surprised.
He continued his investigation using the account Lou Miaoan provided, only to find that the account had indeed been deleted. He continued his investigation but found nothing.
“They are very professional,” the adjutant said.
They were in the small conference room at the time, and Huo Shen was also there.
Huo Shen sat there without saying a word, propping his forehead up as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he looked up at the group of Imperial Military Academy students and said, "You can go back first."
"Don't you find it strange?" Wen Xihe looked at Huo Shen. "What benefit would this person gain from turning others into insects?"
"Has Li Chonghe also turned into an insect?"
This is a reasonable guess, Wen Xi thought. The Alpha pheromone scent they smelled in the underground laboratory was unusual. The other party had been secretly kept under guard after entering Xingdu, which was obviously a problem.
"No comment," Huo Shen said, sitting in his chair.
"Send them back."
Wen Xihe wanted to say something more, but Lan Yao pressed down on her shoulder.
He and Sang Huaizhou led Wen Xihe out of the conference room. It wasn't until they arrived outside the camp that Lan Yao said, "This is a big problem."
"Huo Shen doesn't want us to get involved in this mess," Sang Huaizhou said.
Lou Miao'an was a man of few words, but compared to Jiang Yan, who knew nothing at all, he knew more or less that things had been rather turbulent in Xingdu recently.
“He’s old.” Lan Yao didn’t name names, but everyone knew he was referring to the old emperor.
Since the last sudden attack by the Zerg, which injured several members of the royal family to varying degrees, the old emperor's health has been poor, the eldest prince is in a coma, Li Chonghe is at the Imperial Military Academy, and the princess continues to live a secluded life.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial throne must be inherited by an Alpha, the heir would most likely have already fallen to Li Chonghe.
It's no wonder that Li Chonghe was willing to take the risk.
Wen Xi glanced at the location of the Fifth Legion, and he knew it was true.
Huo Shen's avoidance was not only due to the significant implications, but also because he did not want them to be drawn into these struggles—especially those that might involve the three heirs.
"Any news from Cen Yu?"
Lan Yao shook his head. "I don't know where they are."
...
Li Chonghe was wearing pajamas with a light gray bathrobe over them. His wounds had long since healed, and he was currently searching for the location of his communicator.
When he saw that the communicator was stuck on a vacation planet in the Federation, his gaze lingered for a moment before he continued to look at other information.
"He's dying." His sister, a standard Omega, sat diagonally in front of him, wearing a bite ring around her neck that signified her Omega status. Perhaps due to her poor health, she coughed a few times as she spoke.
Li Chonghe didn't reply. He turned to another page of the book he hadn't finished reading on the starship before saying, "I remember I don't receive guests."
His clothes were clearly not appropriate for receiving guests, but his sister still barged in.
The older sister smiled and put down her teacup. "But I can't wait to see you."
“He’s dying.” A hint of sadness crossed her face. “His health hasn’t been good since that accident.”
They all knew what she meant by the accident: the sudden attack by the Zerg on the royal family's vacation planet. In addition to the eldest prince being seriously injured, their father was also injured. They had thought he could hold on for a while, but now it seemed that their father might also be dying.
After entering the interstellar age, everyone's lifespan has increased, although it cannot be compared with that of the Zerg, it has been greatly improved compared to before.
It's just that their father was already nearing the end of his life, otherwise the struggle for inheritance wouldn't have been so intense.
Li Chonghe knew that his sister had no feelings for their father, so he didn't understand why she had come to find him at this time.
Worried about inheritance rights?
Li Chonghe put down the book in his hand, somewhat unsure of her thoughts.
Li Xiaolu looked at her younger brother, "Do you know what a dying person does?"
Li Chonghe did not answer.
Li Xialu smiled and took out a familiar-looking potion from her pocket. "It will make you struggle in your death throes."
Even if it turns into a monster, I still want to struggle.
Upon seeing the familiar-looking potion, Li Chonghe instinctively stood up, wanting to take a few steps forward to get a clearer look, but his sister quickly put it away.
She sat there, her long, light brown hair cascading over her shoulders, and wearing an Omega-style bite ring around her neck.
"Shhh."
She smiled and said to Li Chonghe, "Sit down and watch the show."
...
Inside the Star Capital, in the Imperial Palace.
The attendants listened with trepidation to the old emperor's heavy breathing.
They all knew that the old emperor's health had been poor since that accident, and the sudden change of the eldest prince's gender made it even more difficult for him to fathom.
Even today, the attendant can still remember the emperor's expression at that time. Perhaps because he was too shocked and too angry, he suddenly laughed. The strange smile on his sickly face added an indescribable weirdness.
Soon the old emperor was confined to his palace and could not go anywhere.
Hearing the old emperor's heavy breathing, they were terrified and wanted to find a doctor, but when they looked up and saw the enormous figure behind the curtain, screams pierced the palace—
"insect!!"
"Zerg!!!"
