"One of the planets will suffer eventually, so you don't have to worry about it." Yu Zhaozhao comforted her when she saw that she seemed a little depressed.
Seeing that the Empire sent elite troops, the Federation also symbolically sent people to help.
Half a month later, news of the victory over the Zerg and the killing of the Zerg Queen came from the Never-Falling Star. The interstellar people who had been looking forward to the victory for a long time celebrated on the Star Network, and the whole country celebrated in reality.
As the entire galaxy was in a frenzy, a message was quietly sent to the palace.
"Pei Ling is missing?" Yu Wanying frowned and stared at the adjutant below.
Pei Ling's adjutant's eyes were red and he was exhausted. "To ensure the complete destruction of the Worm Mother, the Admiral embraced her and perished in the explosion."
His voice was hoarse and every word was sad.
Yu Wanying leaned back in her chair, her forehead in her hands, and her expression was equally sorrowful. "The entire empire will mourn for General Pei."
She waved her hand and asked the adjutant to leave.
There will inevitably be casualties in war, and as a leader, you can only minimize the casualties.
However, Yu Wanying felt in her heart that Pei Ling would not die, at least not like this.
Although the Zerg were not completely wiped out, the victory over them was such that they were severely damaged and fled in panic that it was an unprecedented achievement in interstellar history, and it was worth celebrating by the entire interstellar space.
The Queen of the Empire even ordered a seven-day holiday for the entire empire and ceremonies to be held on various planets.
At the Capital Planet celebration, Yu Wanying presided over the opening ceremony. The weather was beautiful and the breeze was gentle. She stood at the center of the podium in a solemn and elegant dress. She said: "Today's victory is the result of the blood and lives of the people and soldiers who paved the way for peace for us. We remember this day, and even more so, we must remember the sacrifices and the indomitable spirit of those who made it."
She expressed her sincere respect and praise for the martyrs, and everyone watching the live broadcast bowed their heads silently to express their condolences.
After the ceremony, the ball was held as usual, and most of the attendees were high-ranking military officers, dignitaries and royal family members.
Not long after the dance began, many male orcs came over with wine glasses to chat. Yu Nian, who used to be timid when seeing such scenes, was now able to easily and unnoticeably fend those people off.
When Bai Yuheng found Yu Nian, he happened to see her rejecting the request of a general.
"Your Highness is really becoming more...skilled," the man curled his lips slightly, a faint smile appearing in his lavender eyes. He walked up to Yu Nian with a wine glass in hand.
The goblets made a crisp sound when they gently collided with each other.
The colorless soda in Yu Nian's hand was bubbling.
She raised her hand and took a sip, pretending to drink. "What can I do for you, Mr. Bai?"
"I wonder if there is a chance to invite His Highness to dance with me?" Bai Yuheng shook the wine, took a sip, licked the wine stains from the corners of his lips, but felt his mouth become more and more dry.
Yu Nian raised her chin, "Okay."
"It's my honor." The man bent down and extended his left hand.
Yu Nian gently hit his arm, and the two of them put down their wine glasses and walked onto the dance floor together.
Yu Nian's dance was taught by Bai Yuheng. Although Yu Nian was not very good at orthodox ballroom dance, Bai Yuheng secretly improved the ballroom dance by combining the sacrificial dance and ballroom dance that he had taught Yu Nian. As a result, Yu Nian was able to dance with ease under Bai Yuheng's guidance.
As soon as the dance ended, clear applause rang out all around.
Yu Nian and Bai Yuheng looked at each other, curled their lips, and left the dance floor.
When Yu Nian was on the way to the bathroom, a figure suddenly blocked her way.
She looked at the familiar person in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Liu Xi took a few steps towards her and asked, "Why aren't you surprised to see me?"
Yu Nian: "Actually, I was surprised, but you didn't see it."
"It was attached to the insect mother's body and has been completely destroyed." Liu Xi said firmly.
Yu Nian nodded in agreement.
"Why aren't you in a hurry at all? Don't you want to go back? Do you want to stay in this fake world forever?!" Liu Xi lowered his voice. Despite this, seeing Yu Nian so calm, his emotions couldn't help but get worse.
She turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she took a few steps forward and walked right in front of Yu Nian. "You don't look anxious at all."
Yu Nian lowered her eyes slightly, feeling somewhat disgusted by her close approach but she did not show it.
"I'm actually a little curious about you. Why are you so anxious to go back? Is there someone you care about in that world?" Yu Nian asked.
Liu Xi seemed to be lost in a brief memory: "The one I care about? In that world, I have parents, family, children, and a husband. Of course I have to go back."
Yu Nian nodded: "Indeed, your family ties are very strong and you can't give them up."
Liu Xi suddenly laughed, like a sneer, like a sarcasm, in short, his mental state looked worrying.
"What about you? You came into my discontinued novel, so why aren't you in a hurry to leave? Is it because you can't bear to leave your status and power here?"
Yu Nian shook his head: "How did you confirm that this is your discontinued novel?"
"Of course it is here. Whether it is the male and female protagonists, you, or the background and plot of this world, they are all from my pen and are all fake." She looked at Yu Nian coldly.
Originally Yu Nian was just suspicious, but now he is more certain.
"But this world doesn't follow the plot you described." Even the characters in it don't match up. Yu Nian remains skeptical about whether this is the world in the book.
"That's all because of you! If it weren't for you, they would have continued according to the established plot. If you don't come with me, sooner or later this world will completely deviate from the plot."
"Finally collapse?" Yu Nian took over her words very naturally, her eyebrows curved and she looked at her with a smile.
Liu Xi frowned, unable to tell what was wrong. Then she reacted instantly, turned around and was about to escape, but Jing Mo grabbed her arms.
"Be honest." Jing Mo said.
"You can't catch me! What right do you have to catch me! Yu Nian, aren't you afraid that I will reveal all your secrets?" Liu Xi struggled hard, but could not escape from the orc who was naturally strong. She could only turn to threaten Yu Nian.
Unexpectedly, a smile spread across Yu Nian's face: "What secret? How come I don't know what secret I have?"
"Of course it's you!" Liu Xi stopped shouting halfway, with an unpredictable expression on her face. If she said it now, wouldn't she lose the bargaining chip to ask Yu Nian?
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Nian, do you really want me to say it?"
"Okay, Nian Nian." Yu Zhaozhao walked from behind and stood in front of Liu Xi.
"Liuxi, no, I should say that thing, you have no way out." Yu Zhaozhao said lightly.
Liuxi opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "You, you!"
Yu Nian continued: "How do we know?"
"Don't you think that what you did was inconsistent? At first you threatened me to leave, and then you took the initiative to contact me and asked me to come back. You even told me the second before the Zerg attack. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness," Yu Nian smiled, but her tone was full of danger.
