Chapter 129 Various matters may leave the central star
A refreshing sleep-inducing exercise allowed Nan Qi and Bai to sleep until noon.
When they got up, their stomachs growled at the same time. They looked at each other and saw a deep smile in each other's eyes.
Nan Qi got up. Last night was too crazy, so he didn't wear pajamas. The sunlight shone through the flowing gauze curtains onto Nan Qi, giving him a furry golden edge.
The clothes were all placed in the cloakroom. Nan Qi stretched, stopped Bai who was about to get up, picked up the bath towel on the ground and wrapped it around his waist, then walked towards the cloakroom with ease.
While walking, the muscles of his calves, shoulders, neck and back work in coordination, giving Nan Qi's body an indescribable beauty.
Bai sat on the bed, staring at Nan Qi's back in fascination, and sighed in his heart that such a perfect male insect was actually his own male master. He also had the same ideals as him and firmly supported him.
This perfect life once made Bai think that he had fallen back into the situation in his early years where he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.
But Nan Qi used wisdom, love and powerful actions to shatter the inferiority and anxiety hidden in his heart time and time again, giving him enough sense of security.
"Are you the god bestowed upon me by God out of pity?" Bai asked in a low voice. His eyes, which had turned back to ice blue, were clearer than anything else. He looked at Nan Qi with eyes full of piety.
Nan Qi, who was choosing comfortable home clothes in the cloakroom, did not listen to Qingbai's words. He stuck his head out and asked with a smile what Bai had just said and what instructions he had.
Bai finally woke up from his dream, blushing and urging Nan Qi to find some clothes quickly because he was hungry.
Nan Qi: "Okay, Bai, I see you have a light pink furry sweater that feels really nice. How about wearing it today, along with some off-white straight-leg pants? I've never seen you wear such a bright color before."
Bai pursed his lips. He remembered that the pink sweater was a birthday gift from Mellon to him.
Mellon said that when he was not in uniform, the colors he wore were more mature and serious than those of his grandfather. He specially picked colors that young people liked so that he could change his style and avoid aging prematurely.
The sweater is very beautiful, loose, soft, and furry, with a very good texture. If it weren't pink, he might actually wear it.
It’s not that pink is bad, but he has reached a high position at a young age, and the people he faces are older, more stable, and more sophisticated old guys than him.
If he dressed too young and pretty, he would be looked down upon and would not be able to hold his own. He also did not need to dress young and pretty to attract male insects. Over time, he gave up wearing brightly colored clothes, and this sweater was put aside. Unexpectedly, Nan Qi found it.
Did Nan Qi think he looked old-fashioned and ugly in his clothes? Suddenly, Bai felt a little worried, but he quickly suppressed it.
Nan Qi wouldn’t do that. Nan Qi has never been such a superficial male insect, so he must have seen it suddenly and wanted to try out his other styles.
It's not impossible. He can still do it to please himself.
Thinking of this, he hummed a sound, and listening to Nan Qi humming an unknown tune in a good mood, his heart also lifted along with the tune.
After everything was cleaned up, she looked at the completely different herself in the mirror and the male insect hugging her from behind, her eyes curved, and for the first time she felt that Mellon had done a good thing.
I look more compatible with Nan Qi.
They walked out of the door side by side and reached the second floor, just in time to see Slang, one of the twins.
Before the two bugs could say anything, Si Lang floated into the room as if his soul had left his body, leaving Nan Qi speechless. He whispered to Bai, "Did I scare him before? No, he wasn't like this yesterday."
Bai Ye was confused and had to comfort Nan Qi: "Si Lang might be feeling unwell."
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable."
A voice came from behind. Nan Qi turned around and saw Lily flying towards him with her little wings flapping. Nan Qi actually saw gossip in her beautiful big eyes.
"When you came back last night, Si Lang went downstairs to pour water and just came upstairs. Nan Qi, you were fast, but Si Lang still saw you holding Bai. He must have been scared." Lily shrugged her shoulders as she spoke. I don't know how her chubby body learned this movement.
Bai felt a little embarrassed after hearing Lily's explanation. Nan Qi was thick-skinned and accepted Si Lang seeing him hugging Bai very well. He even went to Si Lang's room door and said loudly: "Your ability to accept is too weak. You need more practice."
Silang: “…”
white:"……"
Lily: “…”
Afraid that Nan Qi would say something shocking, Bai pushed Nan Qi down the stairs. Nan Qi walked forward with Bai's strength, his lips slightly raised, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
After lunch, Nan Qi and Bai sat on the sofa and started watching the news.
The news was nothing special as usual. The "bad thing" they did last night was indeed kept secret and not a single word was leaked.
"Now it depends on how long Herbert and the others can hold on."
Bai Guan closed his mind and leaned back. Nan Qi tucked a soft cushion behind his waist before speaking, "It won't be long. Those male insects are their lifeblood. Even if they can sacrifice their offspring, they won't let Liwo, who plotted against them, off easily."
"If Levo is really playing the pig to eat the tiger, Herbert may not have the upper hand. They will bite each other hard, and it would be best if they could draw out the thing behind them. By the way -"
Nan Qi paused for a moment and continued, “How did Mellon let Livo know the news without him suspecting it?”
Liv Katon is not a person who is easy to deal with. If he gets the news through ordinary channels, he will definitely doubt the authenticity of the news and keep silent for a long time.
But after Livo Carton received the news, he acted quickly and so thoroughly that Nan Qi couldn't help but wonder how Mellon did it.
Bai smiled slightly and said five words: "Wind-sounding Crane Tower."
Nan Qi was stunned for a moment, then gave Bai a thumbs up: "High, really high."
The Fengshenghelilou in the black market not only sells information, but also receives information and can exchange information for equivalent value.
Because of his long-standing image as a waste, River Carton was tricked by Herbert Griffin and was dragged into the water by Herbert without any preparation.
It cannot be said that he was not on guard at all. He probably did not expect that Herbert, a wealthy businessman with a good reputation, would even give up his own capital and do something like "kidnapping a male insect".
If they don't think of these things, they won't look into Herbert, or even the game itself. They will just think it's an invasion, a conspiracy by another country against the empire.
Since the direction was wrong, naturally nothing could be found out. The Insect King and public opinion were pressing. With no other choice, it was very likely that Livo Cotton thought of the Fengshengheli Tower.
Even if he can't remember, just lure him into remembering it. This shouldn't be difficult to do.
Given the reputation of Fengshenghelilou, Livcoton certainly would not doubt the authenticity of the news. Besides, the news that Mellon sold to Fengshenghelilou was not fake.
As long as Livcoton goes to Fengshengheli Tower, he will fall into their trap.
"Mellon doesn't look very reliable, but he's very experienced in his work." Nan Qi blinked. "This is what they call a contrast."
Bai thought about Mellon's usual boisterous behavior and smiled, "He's been like this since he was a child. He looks boisterous, but he's actually very meticulous and does things carefully. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become my adjutant."
Nan Qi raised his eyebrows: "At first I was wondering why you didn't let Lunke be your adjutant."
"Lunk is more stable, I feel more at ease when he goes out. By the way, where is Lunke?" Speaking of Lunke, Bai realized that he had not seen Lunke today. He had let Lunke live here to accompany Nan Qi and monitor Sri Lanka at the same time.
Nan Qi had been following him around these past two days, and he had forgotten to tell Lunke that he didn't need to monitor the twins anymore.
Lily flew over at this time: "Lunk was called away by Mellon. He said he needed help with something and asked Lily to tell you. Lily forgot just now. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Bai touched Lily's little wings, "Go play."
With three more household robot bugs at home, Lily no longer needs to work and has more time to watch movies, read novels, and take a stroll around the neighborhood.
Lily made sure Bai was not angry, and rubbed Bai's fingers happily before flying out to play. Her excited figure made the insects feel better.
Nan Qi smiled and said, "Lily is still a little lonely."
"I guess you won't be alone for much longer." Bai Xiuchang's fingers tapped the back of Nan Qi's hand. "I hope you won't find them noisy in the future."
Nan Qi shook his head: "Of course not, their personalities are not necessarily the same. Besides, it's better to have something lively. Don't you like it too? Well, let's not talk about this anymore. It's almost time. Let's go."
Bai nodded, got up and went back to his room to change into clothes for going out.
Twenty minutes later, the two neatly dressed insects set off on a flying vehicle.
Because of Nan Qi's "control" of Bai, the Insect King has withdrawn all the insects monitoring around Bai's mansion, otherwise Bai would not have kept Srislang at home.
This is all thanks to Nan Qi, of course it also has something to do with the fact that the Insect King has been overwhelmed by various things recently.
Anyway, Bai is free.
They flew all the way to the commercial street, and this time they wanted to enter the black market through the wormhole on the commercial street.
Just like the previous times, Nan Qi put on a cloak and a mask, held Bai's hand and walked with the team, and soon entered the black market.
No matter how many times he passed by, Nan Qi always felt that the wormhole was magical. If he was not afraid of being driven away as a lunatic, he would have squatted at the entrance of the wormhole to study it carefully.
After boarding the black market's public aircraft, Nan Qi and Bai quickly arrived at the Black Market's No. 1 Hotel.
When they took the elevator to the top floor, they met Ai You, who had received the news and came out early to wait for them. Bai walked up to the teacher and hugged him before entering the presidential suite.
Pu Bo had already arrived and was examining Prince Keppel. Bai and Nan Qi did not disturb him and went to the guest bedroom to talk.
Bai told Ai You everything that had happened in the past two days, emphasizing the possible relationship between the Interstellar Thieves and Hoover Walker, and that there was a force coveting the position of the Insect King, which was most likely a member of the royal family.
As well as the unusualness of Liv Cotton and what he did last night, the problem of not having enough trustworthy bugs at hand was finally raised.
Ai first confirmed their opinion on the possible connection between Hoover Walker and the Interstellar Thieves.
"Keppel has investigated this matter. We previously thought the Insect King was only interested in plundering the finances of other galaxies, but it seems we were too naive. His ambitions have already expanded beyond the Tro system." Ai You sighed, "He's raising a tiger to cause trouble."
Bai comforted Ai You: "Teacher, don't worry. The joint anti-bandit movement has been supported by all countries. Hoover Walker has also signed the proposal. This time we will catch them all in one fell swoop."
Ai You: "Then you have offended him badly."
"Teacher, even without this incident, he still regards me as a thorn in his side." Bai Dao.
"Indeed, the teacher believes in your ability, but you still have to be careful when suppressing bandits. Let's not talk about him anymore. You finally remembered to ask the teacher for help?" Ai You smiled kindly: "You didn't come up with this idea on your own, did Nan Qi ask you to come to me?"
Bai smiled sheepishly, and Ai You knew he had guessed right: "I was even making a bet with Keppel about when you would speak up. You, kid, should have changed your habit of taking everything on yourself."
"It's my fault. I won't do it again." Bai admitted his mistake, shook Ai You's hand, and acted coquettishly unconsciously.
Ai You was surprised for a moment, but his expression remained calm. He glanced at Nan Qi and found that Nan Qi looked at Bai with doting eyes. He understood why his mature student had changed and was happy for him.
Patting Bai's hand, Ai You said with a smile: "I have prepared everything for you a long time ago. If I hadn't entered the palace yesterday, I would have come to find you yesterday."
"Enter the palace?" Bai frowned, "Why did the teacher enter the palace?"
Ai You restrained his smile and said, "At the family dinner, Hoover Walker got a new female servant, whom he doted on very much. He promoted her to Consort yesterday."
"Follow the Lord?" Nan Qi looked at Bai. He didn't quite understand the hierarchy of the imperial harem.
Bai explained it again, and Nan Qi touched his chin: "Does this mean that he is now the highest-ranking female insect in the harem? Teacher has seen him, is there anything special about him?"
Ai You didn't say anything, but looked at Bai. Bai touched his face and looked a little strange: "Teacher, is there something on my face?"
"No." Nan Qi stroked Bai's face gently, his voice soft, "Teacher just wanted to tell me that the female insect looks like you."
"What, what are similar?" Bai felt that he didn't hear clearly.
Nan Qi said patiently, "Hoover Walker's newly promoted Congjun looks similar to you. Do you remember what I said to you before entering the palace yesterday?"
Of course Bai remembered that Nan Qi said that the Insect King looked at him with an unpleasant look.
Now there is another female insect that looks similar to him and keeps it by his side. When Bai thinks that the female insect might be his substitute, he feels sorry for the female insect and extremely disgusted.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Bai said calmly, "Besides being like me, this Consort should be quite intelligent."
Bai was not so narcissistic as to think that he could make Hoover Walker bewitched by his face that looked like his own. Otherwise, he would have been able to gain benefits from the Insect King with this face for so many years and would not have been constrained everywhere.
"Very clever indeed," Ai You said. "At the family dinner, I observed that this Concubine, like the other female servants, was superficially gentle and considerate towards Hoover Walker. However, those female servants, including the higher-ranking servants who had already given birth to the prince, only had fear in their eyes when facing Hoover Walker."
"Those who appear gentle and kind are actually trembling with fear and caution, but this Mei Congjun is different. There is no fear in his eyes. I see ambition in them."
"However, there is good news. This Mei Congjun was forced into the palace, so he hates Hoover Walker and his father, Ockham Leith, and admires Bai."
"Are you sure?" Nan Qi's expression was serious. He didn't dare to be careless when it came to Bai's issue.
"I'm not sure, but it's worth a try," Ai You said. "This Mei Congjun slipped a note to Keppel during a toast at the family banquet. He explained the whole story and hoped we could help him rescue his sire. He would then become our accomplice in the palace."
"Aren't you afraid that he is pretending to obey and is actually using Hoover Walker to confuse us?" Nan Qi asked.
Ai You said, "I only contacted him to confirm whether he would harm Bai. As a child raised by Bai, I am worried that the insect he hates the most is Bai. As for the cooperation he mentioned, I don't care."
"Teacher..." Bai was deeply moved, and felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. "Thank you."
Ai You smiled and patted Bai's hand: "Good boy, what are you thanking me for? I told you this today just to remind you that you should be more careful next time you enter the palace."
"Yes, I understand, teacher." Bai agreed obediently, "Teacher, is there anything I need to do for the rescue operation?"
"No, your side is the most important. Pu Bo also told me what equipment is needed. Keppel has already mobilized it. We will have the results tonight." Ai You stroked Bai's hair gently, "Bring those two test subjects to me when you have the chance."
Bai nodded and said, "Teacher, there is one more thing I need your opinion on."
Bai took a deep breath and said, "Nan Qi and I have discussed this bandit suppression plan. This time, we will severely offend Hoover Walker. I will take this opportunity to leave the central planet and develop my power in a remote planet. This will give Hoover Walker the illusion that I am far away from the center of power, and let Hoover Walker and the bugs who covet his position compete for this position."
"That's great. You've really grown up now. You're better than your teacher in both intelligence and strategy." Ai You glanced at Nan Qi, then looked at Bai with satisfaction. "Go ahead and develop the power you want with Nan Qi. I'll take care of the Central Star for you and wait for your return."
