Chapter 424, My Hero
Ye Lixia was a little nervous. After all, she didn't know what Gu Hang was going to do to her.
But since she was able to cooperate tacitly with Gu Hang in helping him stage a coup and get rid of his immediate superior without informing him in advance, let alone give him this kind of trust.
She didn't think that Gu Hang would do anything bad to her. She was just not used to such contact with the opposite sex, and it felt very strange.
Her body was a little tense, but she sat obediently and let Gu Hang do what he wanted.
She could feel the warmth from Gu Hang's fingers, extending down along the sides of her forehead, to her face, and then to the back of her neck. There was a slight tingling sensation, spreading from her mind to her whole body, and even penetrating her soul.
This tingling sensation is not stimulating, but very comfortable and relaxing.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
When she woke up slowly, she was lying on a recliner in a lounge, covered with a thin blanket.
She first paid attention to herself and found that she had changed into a comfortable and soft pajamas.
Her face turned a little red and she felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Hang!
But then I thought, probably not.
In his impression, his fiancé didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing.
I can't misunderstand him.
As she was thinking about it, she heard the door open.
Gu Hang, dressed in casual clothes, walked in holding a gold-rimmed carved porcelain plate.
"You're awake." The smile on Gu Hang's face was gentle, making people feel warm.
"Um...how long have I slept?"
"Not long, two hours."
"Oh...how did I fall asleep?"
"Because of me." Gu Hang sat next to her and placed the porcelain plate in his hand on the small table next to the recliner.
The porcelain plate contained cut fruit.
Gu Hang fed Ye Lixia a bite with a delicate fork.
"Very fresh." Ye Lixia commented, "I haven't eaten it for a long time."
On a ship, this is of course an absolute luxury. Perhaps when setting out, the Quintet's kitchen had stored some for the senior officers, but after so many years of fighting, there must be nothing left. Later, the war situation was tense, and precious transportation capacity could not be used to transport such things.
Ye Lixia ate the fruit and asked Gu Hang: "What did you just do to me?"
"I can see that you are very tired, mainly mentally, so I thought of some small ways to use psychic energy to help you relieve it."
"I do feel much more relaxed, is this the power of psychic energy? I have never heard of it before."
That's because the most powerful psyker you've ever seen is right in front of you.
But Gu Hang didn't say this out loud. He just smiled softly and said, "After I saw you were asleep, I brought you here and asked one of my female secretaries to help you change your clothes."
This finally answered the question that Ye Licia was too embarrassed to ask, and she felt relieved, but why did she still feel a little lost?
One of them was rocking on a recliner, while the other was sitting next to him cutting fruit and chatting about some random topics.
There are all kinds of topics to discuss.
We first talked about the health of our family members, especially the condition of old Fofana.
Gu Hang sighed and did not hide anything. He said that old Fofana's health was getting worse and worse, and there was no condition for another life-extending operation. He might not be able to get off the operating table. Moreover, the Tianma Star Region did not have the conditions and ability to do so, and he could not go to Jindi Star now.
Ye Licia was still a little sad.
In the entire family, this grandfather who is a generation away from her is her closest relative.
This is not a happy or relaxing topic. Then, Gu Hang naturally shifted his conversation to describing the changes in Feiyi Star and even the Tianma Star Region over the years.
That's really big.
Even on Feiyi Star, it is very big.
During the years when Ye Lixia left the Tianma Star Region, Gu Hang's power expanded from the Angry Owl Star and finally ruled the entire star region. Naturally, most of those changes were brought about by Gu Hang.
"I really can't imagine it." Ye Lixia sighed, "Just a few years ago, when you boarded my ship from the starport of Feiyi Star, you only brought one person with you to the world of Angry Owl Star, which is notoriously hopeless."
"In just a few years, you have reached this point."
Gu Hang smiled and said, "I can't do without your help here."
"Of course!" Ye Lixia puffed out her chest proudly, "I will certainly not forget my contribution. Your initial start-up capital was all swindled from my starship. Those servitors, my marines, and even the current commander-in-chief of the army of your alliance, were once marine officers on my ship!"
Gu Hang laughed and said, "Hahaha! You're right! You are my angel investor!"
"My investment was so successful." Ye Lixia said with emotion, "Who could have thought of it? To be honest, I didn't think you could achieve anything at the beginning. You were penniless and started from scratch in the wilderness. Now, only fourteen years have passed, and you have already ruled an entire star region, 60 billion people are subservient to you, and you have a billion-strong army and space ships that cover the sky..."
"Don't even mention the past. Even when we were just engaged, you had already started to gain power, but the biggest label on you was still the young master of the Gu family. How could I have dared to imagine that a few years later, my fiancé would become the biggest and only ruler of the entire star region?"
Gu Hang teased Ye Lixia: “Don’t you want to?”
Ye Lixia's eyes were even a little blurry: "Of course not, although I have always hoped to carry the family and become the best naval commander. But...haven't I ever thought that my future husband is a peerless hero?"
"Do you think I have reached this standard?"
Ye Lixia smiled and said, “What do you think?”
Gu Hang didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and continued to peel the fruit.
But I could feel Ye Lixia's breath coming from the side of my face:
"Of course you are, my hero."
…
The tenderness between Gu Hang and Ye Lixia is just an accidental episode in this cold universe. Cruel war is the eternal theme.
They didn't have time to rest as there was still a lot to do.
On Steel Wing, the greenskin main fleet was defeated. Next, they would immediately dispatch manpower to deal with the greenskin invasion problem inside the Eagle Horse sector and the neighboring Misty Horse sector.
There should be no greenskin ships in the Hippogriff sector. Even if there are, they are small raiding formations that will cause some trouble but will not affect the overall situation.
The Dragonhawk and Angry Bear Astra Militarum Corps would stay on Steelwing as a defensive force, and half of the 80 million Alliance troops would be dispersed to various planets in the Hippogriff sector to deal with the greenskins' ground invasion.
