Xiao Chen struggled to open his eyes. The severe trauma caused his body to degenerate into a juvenile form again. He was lying on a white hospital bed with an IV drip in his hind paw.
He silently lowered his head to look at his furry black paws, then slowly raised his head to look at the woman who was looking at him with a fierce look.
Xiao Chen: “…”
Is it too late for him to act like a spoiled child now?
"Meow~" The little black cat meowed pitifully, stretched out its injured right paw, and looked at Ye Wenya pitifully.
"There's no point in pretending to be pitiful! Tell me the truth, why are you pretending to be an ordinary beast when you are obviously an orc?! And you even secretly live in the girls' dormitory. Marshal Xiao, are you a pervert?" Ye Wenya stared at the little black cat angrily, almost spitting out two puffs of white smoke from her nose.
He didn't have any noble and elegant image at all, instead he looked fierce and fierce like a vicious villain in a TV series.
but……
For some reason, Xiao Chen felt that even when Ye Wenya was angry, she was still... a little cute?
There were many things about it that made it impossible to explain why it pretended to be a normal stray cat, why it ended up living in the girls' dormitory with Ye Wenya. The black cat looked up and down, left and right, but never at Ye Wenya. Finally, as if it had thought of something, the little black cat simply dropped to the ground, burying its head in its furry paws, pretending to see and hear nothing.
Just think of yourself as a weak, pitiful and helpless little kitten.
Ye Wenya: “…”
"Miss Ye, please don't make things difficult for Achen."
The ward door was pushed open from the outside, and a white-haired old man walked in with a smile. "When Achen was attacked by the Zerg, I always suspected there was a traitor among the military leaders. They didn't dare to contact us. I was not at the Xiao family at the time. I happened to be at the northern military base."
"It was our Achen's good fortune to be unexpectedly rescued by Miss Ye. I heard that Achen had a severe mental disorder back then, and it was only thanks to the mental power-draining potion Miss Ye provided that he resolved his disordered mental abilities."
"To thank Miss Ye for saving Achen, and to thank Miss Ye for the medicine she prepared this time, which eliminated those parasitic insects and saved the empire. Also for the countless people in the empire who suffer from mental disorders... our Xiao family would like to exchange a life planet with Miss Ye. Is that okay? Our Xiao family has a total of 7 life planets in the past thousand years. Miss Ye can choose any of these 7 life planets. What do you think, Miss Ye?" Xiao Dingkun stroked his beard with a smile.
The black cat raised its head and squinted at Xiao Dingkun.
The cat's azure eyes were filled with dissatisfaction towards Xiao Dingkun.
What on earth was his old man doing? When he was in the military camp, he and his old man had agreed to exchange a life planet for the potion formula. Now the old man had saved him twice in a row. How could one life planet be enough?
Isn't this old fox a little too cunning?
Xiao Chen looked at Ye Wenya with some trepidation. Now that he had turned into a juvenile form, he was temporarily unable to speak or handle these things, so he was very worried that the old man would mess this up.
Based on his understanding of Marven Ye these days, he always felt that this matter might be a little uncertain.
In his mind, Ye Wenya was just a person who simply liked to make potions, and she didn't have a strong pursuit of other financial matters.
As long as there is enough money for her to live a comfortable life, that's enough.
He had always thought about exchanging the life planet for the other party's potion formula, but later he thought that the promise of contracting the other party to refine the potion and medicinal materials for the rest of their lives might be more attractive.
The black cat's whiskers twitched in dissatisfaction.
But……
As soon as the words "a life planet" appeared, Ye Wenya's originally calm eyes suddenly became excited. She looked at Mr. Xiao with a smile on her face and said, "Grandpa, you are too polite... You want to exchange a life planet for the formula of the mental power channeling potion in my hand. It is my honor."
"This mental power channeling potion formula is of little use to me. The formula is only for people like you who are generous and care about the emperor.
Only the people of the country can play the greatest role! "When Ye Wenya thought of a planet full of her favorite magic plants, she wanted to trade potion formulas with others immediately!
What is the formula for the mental guidance potion?
She also has blood awakening potions, mental strength enhancement potions, physical strength enhancement potions and other series of potion formulas that are obviously coveted by the people of the empire.
Seeing Ye Wenya's eager face, who seemed to want to complete the transaction immediately, Black Cat twitched his mouth. He had miscalculated. He had even forgotten how obsessed Ye Wenya was with medicinal herbs on planet K0218.
When there are no other options, a planet with life obviously also suits the other party's preferences.
"By the way...Achen, there is something I need to explain to you."
Xiao Dingkun looked at his eldest grandson with a serious face. "In the battle at the Imperial Palace three days ago, although all those infected by the Zerg have awakened and had the Zerg removed from their bodies, many have sustained injuries. For example... some have seen their mental power levels drop, and some, after awakening to their beast form, automatically revert to human form within just two hours, directly reducing their combat effectiveness."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was captured by our men while escaping and imprisoned, but His Majesty eventually passed away. As the only remaining of the four marshals, everyone hopes that you can help manage state affairs until they find a suitable successor from within the royal family."
"I've agreed to this for you, so you can take advantage of this time to handle official business in the ward." Old Master Xiao took out a small intelligent light computer from his pocket and threw it to the black cat, smiling happily.
There was absolutely no feeling of guilt at all for enslaving the little black cat.
Xiao Chen: “…”
So he has to use his claws to hit the keyboard with his current body that doesn't even have any fingers?
…
In the Imperial Interstellar Prison.
In a completely sealed cell, a handsome blond young man wearing a white prison uniform was being held.
This closed cell has thick metal walls on three sides, but the front is made of transparent glass, so you can clearly see what is happening in the corridor outside the cell.
A dozen middle-aged men wearing heavy isolation protective suits came to the cell and politely knocked on the transparent glass.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Lei Ze looked at the people outside the cell and chuckled nonchalantly: "It's okay to lock me up in such a closed cell. But when I came here, I was wearing such heavy protective clothing. It seems that they really think I'm some kind of infectious virus."
"My apologies, Your Highness. To ensure the accuracy of our confession and to prevent the Parasite Tribe from coming, we have no choice but to come and see you dressed like this."
The middle-aged man in the lead spoke calmly, "We're curious why Your Highness would do such a thing this time. Infecting all the high-ranking nobles of the Empire with parasitic Zerg, and even murdering Your Majesty, would do Your Highness no good at all. We've tested Your Highness, and there's no trace of parasitic Zerg in your body, let alone the mark of the Zerg Queen... So, can you tell us why you're able to control these Zerg?"
"Do you think I'm a fool? Why would I tell you such a secret? To let you hurt more people?"
Lei Ze sneered, "This empire is too corrupt. I am only doing this to clean up the empire's garbage."
The middle-aged man frowned and stood there without saying a word, but his eyes were fixed on Lei Ze's every move in the prison.
The Orc Empire has only allowed monogamy for thousands of years, but many nobles have their own lovers outside, and the amorous emperor is no exception. This is especially true for the current emperor, who was already fickle and amorous when he was young.
As the only son of the emperor and empress, the empire sent many people to search for him, but failed to find any trace of Lei Ze.
It was during these days that the emperor married one of his lovers, and she became the new queen.
However, after twelve years of marriage, it was not known whether the emperor was cursed, but neither his lover nor the new queen had any children.
In desperation, they could only intensify their efforts to search for Lei Ze, His Majesty's only son.
God helps those who work hard, they finally found Lei Ze who was mining on the Blue Sea Mining Star.
At the beginning, Lei Ze was thin and small, and was taken home by a kind-hearted miner couple. Later, the couple gave birth to three more children, and the family of six lived a hard life on the mining planet.
The Imperial Mining Star is not a good place. Except for the guards and supervisors, the rest of the people are almost all descendants of criminals, or are criminals themselves who were exiled to the mining star. Therefore, the conditions there are extremely poor.
And Lei Ze grew up in such an environment until he was 14 years old.
In order to cover up the poor identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the scandal of his lover murdering the Queen and leaving the Royal Crown Prince on the Mining Planet, the Emperor directly ordered those who found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the Mining Planet to massacre all the people on the Mining Planet, including the couple and their three children.
Few people throughout the empire knew about this incident, including the soldiers who were carrying out the orders at the time. Few people knew the inside story.
But as one of the emperor's confidants, Duke Mohan knew everything that happened on the Blue Sea Mineral Star, and he was even on the Blue Sea Mineral Star at the time.
"My adoptive parents were murdered right before my eyes by your people. How could I possibly forget such a blood feud?! If I had known this would happen after being recognized by that old man, I would have preferred to be just an ordinary miner for the rest of my life!"
Lei Ze's eyes were bloodshot, his clenched hands were white in the knuckles, and he looked at Duke Mohan fiercely, "I pretended to have lost my memory all these years just to gain trust. A corrupt empire like this, with its aristocrats who don't value human life, shouldn't exist in this world! I hate everything related to the aristocracy, even my own blood!"
"Every time I see the blood running down my arm, I feel incredibly sick!"
It was at this time... Duke Mohan discovered that there were crisscrossing knife marks on the Crown Prince's waving arm. Those knife marks were new and old, and it was obvious that someone had deliberately made them.
The mood was very complicated. Duke Mohan looked at Lei Ze deeply twice. He could clearly see the angry hatred in the other's red eyes. This hatred had been buried in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for more than 40 years. It was like a poisonous snake, and he was afraid that he would never be able to get rid of it in this lifetime.
"In that case... Your Highness, we will take our leave first. You should have a good rest first, and we will come back in a few days." Duke Mohan bowed to Lei Ze, sighed deeply, and led his men back in the direction they came from.
Watching a group of people outside the corridor of the building disappear from his sight, Lei Ze slowly leaned against the wall, squatted down, reached out and stroked a ring inlaid with a transparent gem on his right thumb, and slowly lowered his eyes.
In fact...
No one knows that the Zerg likes to eat living things, minerals and all energy-containing substances, but their favorite is this unknown transparent mineral.
As long as this ore is ground into powder, he can make the Zerg serve him, even the Zerg Queen is no exception.
This is also what he discovered on the Blue Sea Mining Star.
But all this...
Will be buried with his death.
He slowly stretched his hand towards his throat and clawed down fiercely, blood splattering everywhere -!
It's all my fault for being too careless back then. In fact, after using the parasites to control those imperial nobles, I should have ordered them to commit mass suicide, which would have also eliminated a lot of dirty guys...
The last thought flashed through Lei Ze's mind. The man's eyes slowly drooped, and his whole body fell into darkness.
"Ding ding ding!——"
"Ding ding ding!——"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince committed suicide! His Royal Highness the Grand Prince committed suicide in prison! Someone, come quickly!"
Screams rang out in the cell, followed by a series of panicked footsteps.
