Chapter 238 [Revised] Seeing is believing, abstinence, abstention from all kinds of food...
In addition to military expenses, Sava also received another piece of news: Huo Yuan decided to end his vacation early, return to the front line and continue working.
And Huo Yuan did not come back alone.
He also brought his legal spouse with him.
"Wow, what a big pigeon egg." Sava had sharp eyes and saw the ring on Huo Yuan's ring finger from a distance.
The teardrop-shaped ruby weighs over four carats, and the setting is shaped like a fish holding a gem. Judging from the quality, it should be of a certain age.
Huo Yuan was a simple person, so of course he wouldn't buy such flashy things.
Then the origin of the ring becomes indisputable——
This must be one of the heirlooms of some impoverished minor noble.
Seeing Sava looking at him, Huo Yuan put his hands in his pockets expressionlessly and said, "Nothing to see."
Sava was not annoyed, and went straight to the point: "If you don't want to show it to me, then take it off."
Lu Hang, who was behind, came in late with his luggage and asked in confusion, "What are you picking?"
Huo Yuan: “…”
Forget it, just bear with it and don't get angry with the eagle owl.
Besides, Lu Hang had been begging him all the way. Still have to give some face.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. As an alpha, since he has agreed to register as a spouse, he must take responsibility.
Although Lu Hang's little action still made him a little unhappy.
I clearly said before that even if we get married, it won't be a big wedding and I won't give him a diamond ring. Later, when her parents divorced, she announced that she would give up her inheritance rights to her father's property and only took this family heirloom ring.
Perhaps the extremely conservative great-great-grandfather of the Lu family a hundred years ago would never have dreamed that his great-great-grandchildren would actually wear the ring passed down from generation to generation to the omega lady on the rough finger of an alpha.
It is a heinous crime.
But Lu Hang seemed to be determined to carry this rebelliousness beyond adolescence to the end - before registering, he sent a notice to every relative and friend in his family, clearly saying that he was going to marry into the family.
His cousin Lu Xun was so scared that he cried and asked, "Brother, are you going to break off relations with us?"
Lu Hang replied calmly: "No, you see I didn't even block you."
Lu Xun said cautiously: "Should I call you... Huo Lu now?"
Lu Hang: “It’s not impossible—” The terminal was snatched away, and Minister Huo’s voice was used, solemnly informing, “He’s mentally ill. I’m going to take him for treatment. That’s it.”
Then he hung up.
At that time, Lu Hang's eyes dimmed, he huddled in a corner of the sofa, sighed softly, and looked very lonely.
"You see, my parents are divorced, the house is sold, and I have no home anymore."
That's quite pitiful.
If he wasn't petting Huo Yuan's cat and hugging the knitted pillow left by Huo Yuan's grandmother, his body and pheromones would have been comfortably relaxed. Huo Yuan was about to believe it.
There are endless strategies to force marriage, and Huo Yuan is really afraid that if he doesn't agree, this guy will find an excuse to hang himself at his doorstep one day.
Or even scarier.
Write the three words "Huo Lu" on the tombstone.
Huo Yuan weighed the pros and cons and finally decided indifferently: "Stop howling. I'll take you to get married."
So the big motorcycle rumbled to the gate of the town's Civil Affairs Bureau. The two alphas squeezed among a group of AO partners, standing out particularly.
As soon as the seal was stamped and the system was updated, the color of both people's bracelets changed at the same time, [Married].
There was no ceremony that moved me or made me cry. It was all just a formality. After all, the sofa had been rolled over so many times that it got smashed. The dopamine explosion from the orgasm was much more stimulating than stamping a document.
Huo Yuan pushed the bike forward, stopped, got on it, and asked casually, "Do you want me to buy you two meat-filled scones? I saw you liked them last time."
The motorcycle became heavier, Lu Hang sat on it and tried to pull his hand from the front.
Huo Yuan frowned, feeling strangely as a small ring was put on his finger, which was thin and a little tight.
His first reaction was the tactical ring. It was a handy and easy-to-use thing that could be hung on a flashlight and used in conjunction with a pistol for shooting.
He opened his mouth and said, "Your tactical ring is too tight, the model is not good-"
I took a subconscious look, eh...
What a big gem. gem. ruby. The same color as his eyes.
Huo Yuan: Dumb.jpg
Couples passing by who had just come out of the Civil Affairs Bureau cast envious and jealous glances here.
Lu Hang hugged his waist from behind and asked slowly, "Is it okay?"
“…”
"If it doesn't work, I'll try again—"
"Okay! Okay, okay, that's enough!" Huo Yuan turned his head, his neck flushed.
Lu Hang didn't say anything. Instead, he stretched out his arm to touch the front of the motorcycle and honked the horn twice briskly, "Beep, beep!" Then he sat back leisurely and said, "Okay, take me to eat some pancakes."
·
What a coincidence, we also have scones for dinner tonight.
Just when the two of them came, Kidd and the others were also there. After everyone was finally gathered, Bai Ling notified them to have a small gathering for dinner in the evening.
Mr. D’s own chef’s dishes are by no means comparable to the pre-made recipes that are everywhere. Even the flatbreads were cooked to be crispy, tender and fragrant, and the crumbs fell off when you took a bite - Savoy ate ten of them in one go, burped, and ran to the side to fall asleep.
Bai Ling passed by and took a look. Sava felt too hot to open his collar, and his chest muscles looked even fuller as he ate. The ups and downs of his breathing almost burst the buttons.
He thought to himself that if he filmed this scene and posted it on Starnet, all the dark jellyfish tentacles in the world would come to kiss him.
Thinking of this, he immediately found a small thin blanket and covered Sava with it, covering the stinky chicken tightly to protect it from being attacked.
I closed the door quietly and walked out. The second round of drinks had already been served.
For them, the days they spend together are always short. Fate is unpredictable and no one knows whether one will be sacrificed on the battlefield tomorrow, so it is important to drink to your heart's content.
After three rounds of drinks, the people had split into two groups. On one side, the generals stayed sober, refrained from drinking, and occasionally chatted about military gossip.
On the other side were the military families. Without having to drive their mechas, the sailors and army officers drank and chatted happily, talking enthusiastically about which small restaurant in the capital's university town had large portions and was full.
Xiwusi, who had studied criminal investigation, turned his head and asked sensitively, "Hasn't your sailor always stayed at the border and never gone to college?"
Kidd sipped his juice and said casually, "Who knows? He was drunk and called his sister-in-law to open the door. I don't know who he called."
Xiwusi: "..."
There really isn't a single normal person in this team.
Suddenly the sailor asked, "Why didn't Mr. D come over?"
Bai Ling explained: "He has been abstaining from alcohol recently."
It also prohibits sexual intercourse, eating certain foods, and all kinds of food.
The sailor didn't understand what was going on and apparently thought Mr. D was a member of their husbands' alliance. But when Lu Hang heard them talking about Mr. D, he sobered up immediately.
He still remembered that he would thank that person when he had the chance.
There is a well-known rule at Iso Paraiso - no showing of faces.
But in his own nest, facing his own people, he would relax the rules a little.
The puppy Stopp smelled something, his marshmallow-like body trembled, he stood up on all fours, and ran out wagging his tail. Passing through the fluttering white gauze curtain and entering the terrace, through the one-way glass, one seems to be able to see a figure leaning there lazily, looking at the sunset and the children returning from school below.
The puppy came to his feet, still a little scared subconsciously, but the dried meat the man took out instantly dispelled its concerns.
It lowered its head happily and ate voraciously, obviously very familiar with the feeder.
Lu Hang opened the terrace door, and the puppy and the man looked up at him at the same time.
Lu Hang thus saw the other person's face clearly.
The colors of imagination gradually faded, replaced by a real and vivid appearance.
It was hard to describe the feeling. It was like seeing a statue come alive. The huge soul covering the empire grew a face overnight. It was a face like this.
He had long, golden-gold hair, which was now braided into a scorpion-like braid and hung loosely behind him. He was handsome and young, an enviable kind of youth. The body that has been pampered and never seen the sun looks like a vampire crawling out of a grave, and the blood vessels under the skin are blue.
He smiled, a little teasingly: "Why, I am different from what you imagined? Do you think that I come with my own sound effects when I appear on stage, dong dong dong?"
He made a joke at the right time and was funny and kind.
Top alphas can control the use of pheromones freely.
Lu Hang could feel that the pheromones on the terrace were relatively calm at this moment. Instead of controlling the situation, he generously allowed him to come closer and chat.
"Hello," Lu Hang tried his best to be casual and bowed, "Thank you for your help. You are indeed different from what I imagined, you..."
"Too young." Yu Chen added.
"Too young." Lu Hang nodded and admitted, "And your... that half-merman, he seems to care about this matter a lot."
"Aging?" Yu Chen asked.
"Aging." Lu Hang nodded again.
I thought there would be nothing to say here. After all, it is difficult for alphas of different classes to come up with an effective common language. But after a moment of silence, Lu Hang heard the monarch say:
"Who doesn't care about aging? The more immortal you are, the more you care. Hair loss, immune system disorders, declining energy, long periods of lethargy... these are painful, making people recall the glory of their youth day after day and try to find their own shadow in the young people around them."
“Living a long life is certainly the dream of many people, but 99% of people dream of being a long-lived young person, not an old man who never dies.”
"So it is very important not to age. The longer the life, the more important the quality of life is. Otherwise, living is torture. But I usually tend to torture myself, while the one you mentioned is good at torturing others and enjoys it."
Lu Hang raised his eyebrows, "You can't just sit back and watch this torture?"
"certainly."
"The half-merman once warned me that you only cared about the lives of females and children, and lacked the necessary empathy for males. But you rewarded me, which shows that seeing is believing, and hearing is not."
Yu Chen smiled and shook his head, "Seeing is not necessarily believing."
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject and brought up something seemingly unrelated.
A Sandman story.
"That story that has been widely circulated for hundreds of years was actually made up by me." Yu Chen curled his lips, "Because my fertility policy minister reported that sleeping late will lead to a decrease in the activity of male sperm in the empire. The serious consequence is that females will have repeated miscarriages when they are pregnant, and suffer pain and accusations."
"In order to prevent this from happening, we made up such stories and wrote them in fairy tale books so that all children can develop the habit of going home and going to bed early."
Lu Hang was so shocked that his legs and feet, which were soaked in alcohol, almost made him unable to stand. He didn't know whether he should be shocked at being deceived or at the other party's understatement and frankness.
But the monarch, just as the rumor said, never stopped making shocking statements:
"All the rules you think of in this world are made up by the ruling class for some purpose. Fairy tales, rumors, the punishment of Adam and Eve, and the wrath of God all have political significance."
"Everything is in the service of politics. You too."
Lu Hang frowned and his pupils trembled. As if in the blink of an eye, the fairy tale he and Huo Yuan hid behind the bed curtains was revealed, revealing the dirty and bloody intentions behind it.
He wanted to ask, why are you telling me this?
But he quickly realized why - the other party was reminding him that even for the revolutionary army, there were no illusions. When necessary, there are lies here that give way to political intentions.
As a person who joined the revolutionary army for his ideals, he is likely to become disappointed with the revolutionary army during the future adjustments.
Thinking of this, Lu Hang actually breathed a sigh of relief.
It is better to speak frankly than to deceive with sweet words. Rather than following the Imperial Army's ridiculous claim of "getting ten omegas for free when you join the army", he would rather follow a monarch who is realistic and pessimistic.
After thinking about it, Lu Hang replied calmly: "Even the authority cannot be trusted. I do things according to my heart. If there is something in the revolutionary army that makes me feel uncomfortable one day, I will leave quietly."
After saying this, he bowed and addressed her: "Your majesty."
Yu Chen looked at him sideways, saying meaningfully: "Lu Hang, you are a smart man. Go live where you feel comfortable."
This seems to be advice from elders to the next generation of alphas, or just casual talk at a friend's party.
The mermaid walked away with a cane. The person in the world who is best at breaking fantasies is also the best at writing fairy tales. His era is over.
Bai Ling walked in.
He saw Lu Hang and nodded to him. Lu Hang was stunned. Seeing the two of them together, it was like a fairy tale and reality coming together.
They whispered in the corner of the terrace, and the terrible mermaid had a gentle expression and lowered her head to listen. As Bai Ling spoke, he raised his hand and straightened his collar.
It was like a conversation between the new god and the old god.
They all wield unparalleled power, and therefore are constantly criticized and scrutinized by the world.
The evening breeze blew, and a breeze lifted the man's collar. Lu Hang's pupils widened slightly, and he could see the mermaid's neck clearly. On top of the contraceptive barcode, another layer of chain was added, inserted into the fabric and wrapped around the invisible, sturdy body.
Lu Hang was in a trance for a moment, as if he saw a dead soul tied to the ground.
The closer he gets to the pinnacle of power, the Capital Star, the more shackles he will have on him.
So powerful that it needs layers of constraints.
Lu Hang had a vague feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was for a moment.
Perhaps it was the coming of a storm and a flood.
The next month, August 13th.
In the early morning, the earth exhaled a cold curtain of color. On the gray sky, the dim and sparse stars were quickly covered by the rising sky, leaving only a thick gray and white with thick fog.
This is New Columbus.
As early as a week ago, the 309th Reconnaissance Team of the Revolutionary Army airdropped here in the middle of the night and carefully integrated into the local area to scout the enemy situation.
This planet is 38 million kilometers away from the previous Silver Diamond Star, which is equivalent to the closest distance from ancient Earth to Venus in the Milky Way. Compared with other planets in the galaxy that are often hundreds of millions of kilometers away, it is quite close.
If a conflict occurs with the enemy, the fleet outside Silver Diamond Star will be able to rush in to provide fire reinforcements within 4 hours.
Therefore, this mission is relatively easy.
"If I can conquer the capital planet soon, I can go back home."
"Shut up and don't set a flag."
"What does it matter? It's just a casual remark. God won't hear it."
"You kept quacking so much that I couldn't hear the enemy's footsteps."
Two ducks were lying on the lotus leaves in the pond, quacking quietly. In an enemy area where humanoid detectors may be present everywhere, transforming into two ruddy shelducks that are as big as brown bread is the best camouflage.
"Where are the others? Why haven't they come to take over the shift yet?"
"I don't know. Maybe the feed was too delicious and he choked."
The two ducks were bored and complained about their teammates being unreliable. However, they were completely unaware that behind them, a bloody mouth as big as the bow of a ship was opening silently towards them.
…
"Everyone missing?" Bai Ling repeated indifferently.
"Yes." Hal, the commander's military liaison officer, reported, "The wristband lights of all members of the 309th Reconnaissance Team have gone out, and no one on the way has sent a distress signal to the main force."
"This is not normal," Bai Ling's heart sank. "To send a distress signal, you only need to press a button. No matter how fierce the battles were in the past, this rarely happened. Unless, they are..."
Hal: "Instantly wiped out."
