Chapter 65 [Extra] Lantern Festival 6
Sun Tun, mezzanine. Reception room.
Su Xi walked down the stairs slowly and saw him at a glance.
Reiner Asai Zoe, now the de facto ruler of the Siren Galaxy, has gradually lost the androgynous facial features of his youth and has gradually acquired the firmness of a man.
Reina Assayi stood there straight with his military cap in his hand, chatting with the captain of the guard, Gary, about what happened after they separated.
The orcs of his clan develop very slowly during their infancy and adolescence. Most of them cannot survive the developmental stage of 'transition to adulthood', and forever remain in the incompletely developed adolescence, ending the activity of their gene telomeres and heading towards 'death' or 'degeneration'.
However, due to the disaster in his childhood, the teenage Asai rebelled and refused the help of the 'Zowei' family. He exiled himself to the Siren Galaxy and mixed with a group of pirates, waiting for the end of his own 'degeneration'.
However, fate took a clever turn and he met Su Xi and experienced what happened next.
Now, after two rounds of "complete gene integration", he has evolved into the peak state of the orc gene. After leaving behind the rebelliousness and decadence of his youth, Reina Asai has become a powerful man with an awe-inspiring aura.
Looking at the strong orc with blond hair and golden eyes standing upright, Su Xi suddenly felt a little proud. After all, to some extent, this was also her cub who grew up under her watch.
Of course, Reiner Assay also saw her at first sight. He did not salute her like Gary did. Instead, he grinned at her. The seriousness he had just shown when chatting with Gary fell away. His brilliant smile was as hot and dazzling as the sun on a summer afternoon.
Only when he smiled at her did this sunny and resolute adult beastman reveal a bit of youthfulness.
"Su Xi!"
He strode forward, opened his arms and gave her a warm hug. Not surprisingly, he smelled the scent of this omega, and then let her go without a word.
"Long time no see."
"I missed you so much."
Having gotten rid of the arrogance and awkwardness of his youth, he spoke frankly and honestly.
Gary, who was standing by, had tried to stop Reina when he came forward, but it was obviously unsuccessful. When he saw Reina Asai stretching his arms to hug him, the captain's heart almost stopped beating for a moment, and he almost couldn't help wanting to glance at the location of the surveillance camera.
But he held back.
Fortunately, Reina Assay hugged me for a moment and then let me go.
Su Xi smiled and moved a little distance away, then returned the greeting, and the two walked towards the sofa side by side.
"you..."
"you--"
They both spoke at the same time, then paused and smiled at each other. Su Xi made a pause gesture, turned around and smiled at Gary.
"Gary, please."
Gary breathed a sigh of relief. It was not right for a guard like him to stand by and watch such a situation. He was grateful for Su Xi's thoughtfulness and he readily withdrew.
The universal robot brought the drink, and Su Xi took a sip before putting it down. The adult leopard in front of her had his originally messy blond hair neatly combed back with hair wax, revealing his full forehead.
Under his resolute brows, his golden eyes watched her every move intently without blinking.
Su Xi was not affected, instead her tone became serious: "Can you tell me now? It's only been a short time since you were promoted to 3S, why are you so anxious?"
In front of her, Reina Assay was always relaxed and casual.
As soon as Gary left, they were the only two people left in the spacious public reception room. Reiner, who had been so imposing and looked like a tough soldier, seemed to have visibly changed into a different person. He leaned back lazily and sat on the sofa with his legs raised.
The sofa in the public reception room does not have the specially customized shaping function like the one in the private living room. It is just a hard seat with simple lines.
Even so, in this spacious, bright, futuristic and simple living room, he was forced to sit like he was lying in a lazy cat bed.
"Asay! Sit still and answer my questions."
He said, "It's so annoying! Don't lecture me as soon as we meet."
The atmosphere between the two people was good when they first met, but now, after just one or two words, the atmosphere took a strange turn.
However, after Reina Asai finished his retort, he just looked at her, with an inexplicable expectation in his half-closed eyes.
Su Xi didn't move a finger, still sitting obediently opposite him. To Reina Asai, in the past scenes, the person who doted on him without any reason would have thrown something at him.
And now in this real world, her amber eyes, still as clear and beautiful as before, just looked at him quietly.
There are no unnecessary expressions and no unnecessary emotions.
The air was slightly stagnant.
The pheromone isolator under the military-style button well concealed the depressed mood he exuded at that moment of loss.
Finally, it was Su Xi who broke the silence. She said, "Can you tell me in detail? I really want to know."
"It's just the same thing. A few kids who just awakened their spiritual power are disobedient..."
He gave a few words of explanation without much interest and then stopped talking.
Reina Asai blinked, and a strong sense of bitterness surged in his heart.
"I have a suggestion," Su Xi said with a cautious look, "but it's up to you to decide whether to adopt it or not."
After a long while, he exhaled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say."
"Your Beast Academy, why don't you consider inviting Edelman to be a guest instructor?"
"Although the conflict between orcs and pure humans is still acute, the overall fusion trend of the Siren Galaxy is unchangeable. We just need to find a suitable entry point. Edelman is a man with a very special temperament. He has no discrimination against orcs..."
But Reina Asai had no good feelings towards Edelman. He raised his eyebrows indifferently, but rarely did he refute her immediately. Instead, he secretly listened to the omega talking about his thoughts with a feeling of nostalgia.
Su Xi was immersed in her own thoughts and did not immediately notice the thoughts of the blond alpha opposite her. She carefully expressed her long-term plan, "With his leadership and appeal, I can bring a group of followers with me, and slowly transplant the mature spiritual power training system of the central galaxy to the Beast God Planet..."
"He's the first choice that I can think of."
"Of course, given his personality, we can't expect him to stay on the Beast God Planet for a long time to do the most basic teaching work, but as a benchmark figure, his role is undoubtedly huge..."
"Reina! Are you listening!?"
Seeing the blond alpha opposite him clearly entering a trance-like state, Su Xi couldn't help but feel a familiar surge of anger.
However——
"Sorry, I wasn't listening."
Su Xi was furious!
"Tell me, apart from this, what else did you consider when you mentioned Edelman?" He suddenly looked at her seriously. "It's a 'consideration' related to me."
Su Xi didn't want to talk at all.
"You're not the type to think about specific policies," Reina Asai said, his golden eyes blinking slightly, revealing a look of joy. "If you can keep nagging for so long, it must be related to me."
"Go ahead and I'll listen."
His expression calmed down and he looked at her seriously.
"It does have something to do with you, but I didn't bring it up."
"Yeah. I guessed it."
Reina Asai curled his lips in disdain. Of course he knew who it was.
"I suggest you try to work with Edelman a few times. Apart from his weird temper, he is indeed an excellent mentor," Su Xi said very slowly, "But if you want to follow him for the trial, you need to break the previous mental circuit and rebuild a new mental model..."
At this point, Su Xi frowned, "This is a suggestion that has both opportunities and risks."
"Then what do you want me to choose?" The blond alpha, no longer as innocent as a teenager, had a look of slight longing on his face.
"I can't choose for you anymore," Su Xi looked him straight in the eye and said word by word, "That's your own life."
Looking at the sudden fragility that flashed across the other's face, as if he was an abandoned baby, trembling in the cardboard box, looking helplessly at the strange street.
Su Xi couldn't help but grabbed his hand tightly, "Asay!"
She called him!
Reina Assay came back to his senses.
"Asay."
Su Xi's voice became hoarse, and she slowly let go of his hand.
Seeing her trying to remain calm but with worry in her eyes that could not be concealed no matter what, he slowly lowered his head.
I smiled at myself in my heart.
"Okay," he said when he looked up, with a nonchalant expression, "I'll think about it seriously."
After saying this, there was a moment of silence between the two.
"How are Foxtail and the others?"
Su Xi changed the subject.
"Everything is fine."
What followed was some innocuous chat, but it didn't last too long. The second hand of the clock just passed the quarter-hour mark.
Not a minute more, not a second less.
At this moment, the chief guard Gary pushed the door open and bowed. Gary said to Reina Asai expresslessly, "The first leader of the Siren Alliance, Reina Asai Zowei, His Highness has summoned you for a brief meeting regarding the next election for the Beast God Planet."
"The relevant personnel are already in place, and they are just waiting for you."
Reina Assay responded appropriately.
Su Xi stood up to see him off and watched him put on his military cap. He looked just like the resolute, mature, iron-blooded soldier he had looked at at first glance.
"Can you stay a few more days? Five interstellar days from now, it will be the Lantern Festival on Planet Beast God," the blond alpha said in a low voice, "After discussing your last suggestion with Foxtail, I plan to try to promote it on Planet Ceres first. This time, during the Lantern Festival on Planet Beast God, we will officially announce this."
"It would be great if you, as the Originator, could be there."
Guard Captain Gary was standing aside, just about to speak and urge them.
However, at this time, Reina Asai moved his feet and stood in a very clever position, just blocking several surveillance cameras from capturing Su Xi's expression. And he himself deliberately exposed himself to the surveillance range of the surveillance cameras.
The blond alpha, who has reached adulthood, is already much taller than Su Xi. Just standing there, he is a silent intimidator.
Reina Asai lowered his head and slowly gave Su Xi a very masculine smile. In response, Alph Xisu expressed his intention without any concealment.
Gary broke out in a cold sweat.
Of course Su Xi noticed it, but she ignored his deliberate behavior and the little thoughts in his mind. She seriously considered Reina Asai's proposal.
Although this proposal is very tempting, especially the two blue full moons rising on the Beast God planet during the Lantern Festival, and the extremely beautiful tidal dance in the Sea of Light... How can such beauty and grandeur be seen only once?
But thinking of her jealous husband, Su Xi politely refused.
Reina Asai smiled nonchalantly, and only then did he seem to reveal a little bit of the shadow of the leopard-eared boy.
"Thank you, Suxi."
“The glutinous rice balls are sweet.”
There is no hand-kissing in the orcs' etiquette, but Reina Asai has never cared about so-called common sense and rules.
A standard kiss on the hand, the blond alpha lowered his head, placed a light kiss on his fingers. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her golden eyes, which still flashed with that familiar emotion, full of unhesitating trust and attachment.
"Looking forward to seeing you at the next Lantern Festival."
He decisively let her go, and followed the almost stiff-limbed Chief Guard Gary into the elevator to the upper conference room.
At the last moment when the elevator closed, the serious-looking blond alpha suddenly winked at her.
Just like a boy who successfully pulled off a prank.
Su Xi's delicate face slowly showed a smile, then she sighed and shook her head. She was thinking about something, and slowly walked back to the living quarters along the spiral staircase.
*
The converted living quarters of the Sun Swallow are located on the top floor, where the observatory used to be.
The small living room is located in the center, just under the dome. However, it is closed when it is docked.
On either side of the living room are Suxi and Fitzgerald's respective bedrooms.
Yes. Whether in a mansion on a planet or in a room on a ship, the private living areas of a couple who are legally married and above the nobility are strictly divided.
Su Xi, who was in love at first, didn't quite understand and insisted on living with Fitzgerald until -
Until she actually went through a formal estrus period with someone's 'help'.
After that, Su Xi suddenly realized that although the solidified class always had some redundant and outdated rules, "existence is reasonable". There was indeed a profound reason why they couldn't live so close. Then, when she proposed to "return to tradition", of course, she was righteously rejected by an alpha who had tasted the taste.
Then her second estrus came, and this time both the maturity of her glands and her physical condition were much better. An alpha who had already had sex before was inevitably a little less restrained, and when Fitzgerald finally came to his senses, his omega was already in a miserable state.
There was no point in regretting it, so the next day I had no choice but to obediently order the new room to be decorated.
Just like that, the two newbies in estrus finally reached a basic consensus on where to live, how to live, what to do, and to what extent.
The road to adjustment is long and fun.
In fact, the furnishings and room layout of the Sun Tun's living quarters were not in line with the royal etiquette standards.
But this is one of Su Xi's favorite residences.
The small snail house gave her a familiar sense of security.
There's no one here now. The man was called to a meeting. Oh, or maybe he just felt that he had too much free time after the battle, so he deliberately made a meeting.
Su Xi didn't feel any sympathy in her heart. She thought that the leopard cat was very cunning when it was a child, and it would be even more difficult to deal with the strong orc who had undergone two complete genetic repairs when he grew up. This meeting probably wouldn't end so early.
Su Xi kicked off her shoes, washed up briefly, pulled a blanket, and randomly pulled out a paper book from the mobile bookshelf, and sat on the sofa to read it casually.
The nano-intelligent shaping sofa adjusted according to her subtle posture and considerately transformed into a soft and fluffy nest like a cloud, slowly floating up 15 centimeters off the ground.
After just turning two pages, Su Xi, who was completely relaxed, fell asleep.
*
Maybe it was because she had been deprived of real sleep for four long months, or maybe it was the familiar smell in the private space that made her feel at ease, but she slept very soundly this time.
She seemed to be picked up by a pair of strong arms in the middle, and after a slight bump, she was placed in a more comfortable and soft place. There seemed to be a familiar voice whispering affectionate and sweet words in her ears, but she only raised her eyelids in a daze, rubbed against the other's chest, hugged the man's waist tightly, and fell into a deep sleep.
The Sun Swallow's departure was as smooth as ever.
Along the way, the Sun Swallow switched freely between the shuttle-like "space-time jump mode" and the silver-gray sea bat-like "cruise mode". When encountering the turbulence of the planetary belt, the biological center of the Sun Swallow still opened its mouth and swallowed reflexively, jumping and struggling...
But no matter what the situation is outside or what kind of environment it is in, the small living cabin carried by the Sun Swallow looks like a beautiful woman sleeping peacefully and the years are quiet.
Fitzgerald did not sleep, although he was somewhat sleepy, but it had been four and a half months since he had held her in his arms again, and he was reluctant to sleep so 'quietly' anyway.
But he was even more reluctant to wake her up.
Su Xi woke up.
She yawned contentedly, and then what came into view was a naked, smooth chest. She raised her head slightly and met a pair of extremely gentle eyes.
Fitzgerald was lying in his bathrobe with her on the bed in the bedroom. She glanced over and saw that this was his bedroom.
then--
She saw the notebook in his hand.
The omega, who just woke up with red cheeks, now has an even redder face!
"Quick! Give it back to me!"
Fitzgerald had already undone his hair, letting his shoulder-length red hair hang loose, with a lazy and smiling look.
"Isn't this the gift you want to give me?"
"I waited for a long time, and you didn't even wake up when you were snoring. Can't you take it apart yourself?"
Su Xi's ears turned even redder as she was teased by him. That was her travel diary, where she would write down her feelings or some wonderful little ideas whenever she missed him.
Originally, I didn't intend to let him see it, but because of Reina's matter, the two of them had an argument again, and the previous little tricks were no longer easy to appease.
She was just planning to throw away her shame and recite a love poem to express her feelings in front of the Pillar of All Living Things.
But he overslept and not only missed the route of the Pillar of Life, but also exposed the entire notebook to the target object.
"Don't be shy," he lowered his head and rubbed her head, saying seriously, "I like it very much."
"Don't regret it. You didn't miss the route of the Pillar of Life."
"Look up, huh?"
The floor-to-ceiling curtains of the bedroom slowly opened, and outside the transparent porthole, the young Pillar of Life was right in front of them with the best view.
"I accidentally saw your notes in the dormitory where you rested at the observatory."
"ah?"
"Will you blame me for rummaging through your things?"
"No, no, no!" Su Xi approached him in a flattering manner and kissed him a few times, "I like it most when you 'look through' my things."
As a person who lives for the day, I am so lucky to have a boyfriend who is very demanding about the cleanliness of the environment and loves to do things himself!
Su Xi looked around and found that a telescope had been prepared next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
She stood up and walked over, operating it skillfully.
"Come and see."
"Just now," she took his hand, wrapped it around her waist, and then lowered his head a little, so that their heads were close together, sharing the same line of sight.
Su Xi said excitedly: "In the place where the 'Zhou Tomb' was destroyed, the Pillar of Life has a new wave."
"I want to trace it back a few more times," Su Xi's eyes sparkled with a bright light. She looked at the wonderful scenery presented in the telescope and whispered, "Maybe we can open up a dimensional channel..."
As he was speaking, the young Pillar of Life once again erupted into a new star field.
"Ah! Look!"
Su Xi narrowed her amber eyes in satisfaction, relaxedly leaned on the chest behind her, stretched her waist like a cat, and let her alpha arch his head and gently kiss her cheek, earlobes and glands back and forth. Su Xi was already familiar with his intimate caress, and relaxed her body and opened herself up very cooperatively.
Every reaction, every subtle entanglement, was played out in the small fighting room by the dance of the increasingly dense A-factor in the air.
She exclaimed, "So beautiful."
"It is very beautiful," he said, but he lowered his eyes to look at her.
Fitzgerald absentmindedly held her waist with one hand, and pulled! Her soft, concave curves were even closer to his hardness, so close that they were inseparable, as if they were mountains and valleys that had been leaning against each other since the creation of the world, a natural intimacy. With the other hand, he untied the long straps of her nightgown and wrapped her in his arms, who was only wearing a thin silk nightgown.
Like wrapping up your most beloved baby.
Su Xi's gaze shifted a bit, and she saw two figures snuggling together printed on the transparent floor-to-ceiling porthole. The two people wrapped in black bathrobes looked like conjoined twins.
"How childish!" She scolded him with a smile, but couldn't get away. Su Xi didn't care about him anymore. Firstly, it wasn't her estrus period yet, and secondly, they were going to leave for the central system right away. She didn't worry about what he would do in this situation. At most, he would just rub against her like before.
Su Xi's attention was once again drawn back to the continued eruption of the Pillar of Life, and she even dropped the Vision Telescope in her hand.
"From a distance of light years, it looks as beautiful as fireworks during a festival." Su Xi was completely stunned by the magnificence visible to the naked eye!
Although two similar small eruptions have been observed in the past four months, they are nothing compared to the scale of this one.
She was completely unaware of it, with a smile that would dazzle someone. When someone teased her too much, she would occasionally kiss her alpha on the side of the cheek and continue to sigh and immerse herself in the magnificence of the universe.
While caressing her waistline affectionately, Fitzgerald responded to her sigh in a particularly absent-minded manner.
Because what he really wanted in his heart was another kind of fireworks, the kind of dazzling dance between lovers that did not need to be expressed in words.
He did not resort to language to express this romantic idea.
Su Xi soon experienced this herself.
