Chapter 63 Unexpectedly, Nan Qi’s breath became hotter and hotter.
Nan Qi lay on Bai's legs with his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling evenly, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.
Bai's hand gently stroked the strands of hair on Nan Qi's forehead. As if he was afraid that Nan Qi would be cold, he asked Chong Shi for a thin blanket and gently covered Nan Qi with it.
After doing this, Bai moved his body again to make the male insect lying on his legs more comfortable.
Bai's expression was always indifferent, and his drooping eyes could not convey his emotions to the outside world. However, Aiyou Percy, who came to find Bai, felt that Bai was very gentle and in a very good mood at this time.
He seemed to have infinite patience and tenderness towards the male insect that was resting its head on his legs.
Even though his expression remained as cold as ever, those who knew him could still sense the magma surging from his heart beneath that cold and calm surface.
Ai You paused for a moment, and waited until Bai Youyou looked up at him before he started walking over again.
"Bai." Ai You sat opposite, his eyes fixed on the sleeping male insect. "Is this the life you wanted?"
"Teacher, I don't know if this is the life I want," Bai said, his lips curled up slightly, "but he is my luck, a luck I want to keep."
Ai You was a little surprised. He guessed that the male insect Bai met was very good and was of great help to Bai, but he never thought that Bai's evaluation of the male insect would be "He is my luck."
Coming from the mouth of a powerful person who protects an entire country, the weight of this word can be imagined.
"You guys—" Ai You pondered for a moment, "He's special?"
Bai nodded. "Teacher, I'm really fine. I wasn't forced, and I didn't feel embarrassed. What they wanted to do to me was once again thwarted. This time, no one paid the price for me, but they dragged him into the vortex."
"So he is my luck, and I am his bad luck."
Bai lowered his eyes, hiding his guilt and sadness in them, not wanting the teacher to see his self-blame.
There is self-blame towards the teacher and also towards Nan Qi.
"Bai, it was an accident ten years ago, and no one paid for you. This time was also an accident, so how do you know he's unwilling?"
Ai You felt distressed, he knew that the incident caused by that glass of wine ten years ago had become a knot in Bai's heart.
Over the years, he has been trying to untie Bai's knot in his heart, but in order to help Bai and the others grow, and to divert the Insect King's attention from him, he was initially unable to clearly tell Bai that he was living a very good life.
When the Insect King finally felt that he was useless and stopped monitoring him, he couldn't wait to tell Bai the whole story, but found that because he had hardly been out in public in recent years and because of Keppel's "bad reputation", Bai and the others couldn't believe that he was living a good life.
I just felt that he was comforting them.
Such stubborn thoughts made Bai's heart knot deeper and deeper, almost reaching the level of a nightmare.
But that's not the end. Ten years later, Bai experienced it again, dragging an innocent male insect into the vortex of these power calculations.
On the surface, his disciple looks cold and hard, decisive in killing, and a killing god, but in fact he is a Bodhisattva with a soft heart and a strong sense of morality.
The same thing happened twice, and this disciple was really tormented.
Normally, as a leader, he cannot easily reveal his fragile emotions. Tonight, maybe it was because he drank, or maybe it was because I was around, Bai rarely showed a trace of vulnerability.
Ai You sighed, a look of heartache flashing in his eyes. "Bai, you can't blame everything on yourself, and you can't take it all on yourself. You have me, Melon and the others by your side, and the female soldiers who trust and believe in you. You really don't need to be so exhausted."
"I entrusted them to you because you could be an excellent leader, not because I wanted you to carry everything on your shoulders."
Ai You patted Bai's shoulder and said, "Bai, let me tell you again, you've done really well. Whether you believe it or not, I'm doing really well too."
Looking at Nan Qi, who was sleeping comfortably on his pillow without any defensiveness, Ai You seemed to have thought of something and smiled slightly: "You see, the result of your accident may not be bad, just like what happened to me and Keppel."
Bai was stunned for a moment, and the conversation between him and Nan Qi that day at the black market suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Didn't the Marshal struggle?"
"I'm just a little curious. To be able to become the Grand Marshal of the Empire and be respected so highly by you, this bug must be no ordinary person."
"What is Prince Keppel's reputation?"
Nan Qi's three consecutive questions made him explain it thoroughly, but now that the teacher told him confidently again that it was very good, he suddenly began to waver in his previous statement.
Could it be that they were really overthinking it and the teacher was really living a good life?
But is it really okay for a god of war who is supposed to conquer the universe to be forced to get married, share power, and be "imprisoned" in a gorgeous cage waiting to get pregnant and have a child?
Being good doesn’t mean not being abused by male insects, but being respected at least is good.
This is also the main reason why they think that the teacher’s words “do well” are just words of comfort to them.
But now...
"Teacher..." Bai stared at the teacher, "Don't lie to me. How can being trapped in one place..."
Ai You stretched out his arm and ruffled his disciple's hair: "Silly child, you can't just use your eyes to see things."
You can't just use your eyes.
What's the meaning?
Ai You gently tapped Bai's heart: "See with your eyes, feel with your heart, and verify with your actions... Before you look at anything, you must first remove your preconceived notions, only then can you truly see through the essence of things."
"Observe with your eyes, feel with your heart, verify with your actions, and get rid of preconceived notions..." Bai murmured, and for the first time, he cast aside his preconceived notions and carefully observed the teacher's expression and face.
His expression was calm, his face was handsome, and there was no trace of sadness between his brows...
Bai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the dark place in his heart.
"Teacher, you——"
"Shh." Ai You put her finger to her lips and smiled lightly, "Don't say it."
Bai nodded, some things don't need to be explained too clearly.
"Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about what happened to you. Seeing that you looked good today, I felt relieved. It's a pity that I didn't get to say a word to him."
Ai You felt a little regretful. This little male insect had a really good sleep quality. He had talked so much with Bai, but he was still able to sleep soundly.
Nan Qi, who was soundly asleep, actually heard everything.
In his most victorious period, he could completely divide his attention to control both his spirit body and his body, instead of having to control only one of them like he does now, and the spirit body could not completely transform even when it was possessed.
If Aiyou Percy had come earlier, he could have spared some mental energy to talk to the respected teacher Bai.
But this time it was no use. His spirit body had already entered the Insect King's private vault. He had to be extremely alert to deal with possible emergencies, and he could not spare any mental energy to meet with Aiyou Percy.
However, hearing Bai's evaluation of him, Nan Qi was so happy that the kitten's tail lifted up and his steps became lighter.
There are really a lot of treasures in the Insect King’s private library, all neatly arranged into categories.
Nan Qi shrunk his spiritual body to the size of a white palm, and quickly shuttled between the huge shelves, making his movements impossible to be captured by the naked eye.
Nan Qi looked left and right, picked up the things he liked and threw them into the empty hole, like a little mouse falling into fragrant oil, extremely happy.
He didn't take too much, and his main goal was to avoid being discovered and achieve sustainable development.
But just by taking a little at a time, he soon got a lot of treasures, but none of them were what he wanted most.
Where is it?
The little orange cat sat in the shadow of the shelf, its green eyes closed, motionless as if in a trance.
After a moment, the little orange cat suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his furry little face. Then, he quickly leaped in one direction and soon landed behind a shelf, which was a whole wall.
Nan Qi went straight in and found a huge safe behind the wall.
The safe is cold and heavy. Just by looking at its appearance, you can tell that the insurance level is definitely the highest level. There are several types of chain locks, three of which are the highest level genetic locks.
It is said that this lock can only be opened by insects whose genes have been recorded in advance.
The three gene locks should have recorded the genes of three insects respectively to prevent the insect servant who manages the private vault from embezzling the money and stealing important things inside.
Unfortunately, these locks can stop the insect servants, but cannot stop Nan Qi's spiritual body.
The little orange cat plunged its head into the safe and then stepped on its two little hind legs to get straight in.
As soon as he entered the safe, Nan Qi was stunned by the colorful stones piled up like a mountain in front of him.
He thought there would be colorful stones in the Insect King's private treasury, but he didn't expect there would be so many. He even suspected that the colorful stones in the abandoned mines were all here.
However, there are also advantages to having more. The more he has, the less likely he will be caught stealing.
Nan Qi narrowed his cat eyes and rushed directly into the hill of colorful stones, carefully stealing the colorful stones.
The end result was that he dug a big hole inside, without affecting the structure outside at all.
After looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, Nan Qi was just about to get out of the safe when he discovered a secret compartment above the colorful stone hill.
It was hidden even more secretly than the colorful stones, and it was probably some more precious treasure. Nan Qi became interested, and stuck his tail into the secret compartment, rolled up the things inside and threw them into the empty hole. However, the thing seemed to be a bottle, and some of the things inside touched his tail.
Nan Qi pulled out the tail and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he saw a shimmering green powder on the tip of the tail.
Nan Qi shook his tail nonchalantly, shook off the green powder, and continued his happy shopping for free.
After he had taken all the treasures except those that were unique or in small quantities, he disappeared from the spot.
In the garden pavilion outside the banquet hall, Nan Qi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, scaring Ai You.
The male insect, who was sleeping soundly just now, suddenly woke up. There was no trace of drunkenness or sleepiness in his eyes, only a smile of satisfaction.
But what satisfied him?
Bai was very surprised. He grasped the male insect's hand and looked him up and down before smiling: "Nan Qi, this is my teacher and the marshal of the empire."
Nan Qi stood up and bowed respectfully, addressing the Marshal.
Ai You waved his hand: "Sit down, no need to be polite, just call me teacher. Now that you're awake, it's time for me to go back."
"Teacher—" Bai was a little reluctant.
"There's a long way to go." Ai You patted Bai's shoulder, took out a small box from his space ring and placed it in front of Nan Qi, "A wedding gift."
After saying that, Ai You stopped looking at the young couple and stood up to leave.
After he could no longer see Ai You, Nan Qi picked up the small box in front of him and approached the lost Bai.
"What do you think the teacher will give us?"
Bai came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Then let's go home and see." Nan Qi stretched and whispered slyly, "We made a lot of money today. When can we go home? I'm hungry."
"Are you hungry? Is the food inside not to Viscount Nanqi's liking?"
The insect who spoke was neither too close nor too far away from them, a distance that would not offend the insect, but also allowed the insect to see his face and hear his voice clearly.
Bai's eyes darkened: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The eldest prince, Harper Walker, laughed and walked over, saying, "I don't mean to disturb you. I'm just a little drunk and want to find a place to sober up."
"I heard Viscount Nanqi say he was hungry, and I thought the food at the banquet was not to Viscount Nanqi's liking, so I couldn't help but ask."
The eldest prince, Hubble, was polite and handsome, and his appearance was similar to that of the mixed-race children in Nanqi's original world. His grey eyes were very bright, and he looked like a gentleman as gentle as jade.
Just by looking at Bai's alert look, Nan Qi felt that the eldest prince was not as harmless as he appeared.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself," Nan Qi said with a shy smile. "I'm just a poor boy from a remote village. I'm afraid of showing my weakness by eating too much in such an occasion, so... hehe."
"Viscount Nanqi, you are joking. You were personally conferred the title of Viscount by our father. Who dares to look down on you?"
A trace of contempt flashed across Hubble's eyes. If it weren't for Nan Qi's superb mental strength, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Nan Qi thought to himself that they were all acting geniuses, but his face became even more shy. "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. Bai and I won't disturb you any longer while you sober up. We'll go back to the banquet hall and have something to eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Qi's stomach growled in response. His face flushed instantly, and his handsome face, which was even a little dazzling, really made him look adorable.
Hubble's eyes were dark, and there was an indescribable aggression in his eyes when he looked at Nan Qi.
Bai felt uncomfortable and stepped forward to block Hubble's gaze from Nan Qi. He said in a calm voice, "Your Highness, Nan Qi is hungry. I'll take him to eat and won't bother you any more. I see the Second Prince is here too. I'll explain your situation to him later and he should be able to come and accompany you."
Bai Du had spoken, and Hubble did not try to persuade them to stay. He smiled and watched them leave, but his eyes gradually became filled with possessiveness as he looked at Nan Qi's back.
"So beautiful! As expected of an SSS-rank male insect? With such bloodline, it would be even better if it were a female insect..."
The sound dissipated with the wind and disappeared into the night.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was still lively, with singing, dancing, magic and even juggling being performed in turn.
There are also entertainment activities such as chess, billiards, bowling, etc.
Guests who love watching performances will feast their eyes, and guests who don’t like watching performances will also have a great time. There are also places where male and female insects who fall in love will have already expressed their feelings to each other romantically.
Nan Qi ate something symbolically and stuffed two more mouthfuls into Bai's mouth before going to see the Insect King who had returned at some point. After thinking for a moment, he pretended to be sleepy and drunk and said goodbye to the Insect King.
The Insect King has always treated Nan Qi like a good elder. Of course, he cannot refute Nan Qi in public, so he can only let the two insects go home.
Nan Qi thanked him profusely, with an expression that said "You are so kind", and acted like a fool to the very end, before leaving the palace under the leadership of Consul Jordi Collet.
Before going home, Qiao Di handed Bai another space ring, saying that it was a small gadget given to Nan Qi by the Insect King as a reward, for Nan Qi to keep and play with.
He said it was a reward for Nan Qi, but he still gave the thing to Bai.
Qiao Di said with a smile, "His Majesty said that Viscount Nanqi has been a meritorious official for protecting the Admiral. He will enjoy the same treatment as an Earl and will also have an extra planet as his fiefdom. However, this planet is not developed yet, so you have to develop it yourself."
"You are the Admiral's lord. I believe the Admiral will not sit idly by. I have delivered my message. The rest is up to you two. I will take my leave now."
Nan Qi naturally said goodbye with a smile, and then couldn't wait to pull Bai home.
On the way home, Nan Qi felt a little hot, so he unbuttoned his clothes and slumped in the seat to enjoy the air conditioning.
Seeing this, Bai lowered the air conditioner by two degrees, but Nan Qi was still a little hot and his face turned red. Within seconds, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his dress was a little wet.
Bai sat beside him, his brows furrowed.
Nan Qi felt something was wrong. It was late at night and there was a cool breeze. There was air conditioning in the aircraft, so no matter how hot it was, he wouldn't sweat so much in just a few seconds.
He reached out and touched Nan Qi's face. It was very hot, as if he had a fever.
Bai was shocked. He wondered if Nan Qi had eaten something wrong.
But he also ate what Nan Qi ate, so why was he fine?
Could it be that he was injured in the Insect King's private vault? But when Nan Qi came back, there was no sign of it.
"Nan Qi, Nan Qi, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? I'll contact Pu Bo right away." Bai was anxious. He helped Nan Qi up, let him lean on his arms, and was about to contact Pu Bo.
"Bai, don't, don't, I'm fine... I'm just, I'm just too hot. Go home... Go home and take a... cold shower, and I'll be fine..."
Nan Qi exhaled a breath of hot air, grabbed Bai's hand, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Suddenly, an evil fire rose from the nerves in his brain, went all the way down, and instantly traveled through his whole body, and then lay motionless on his lower abdomen.
This kind of swelling and pain in the key parts was too difficult to describe. Even loose clothes could not cover it. Even if Nan Qi was slow-witted, he knew that he had been drugged.
It's an extremely strong kind.
At this time, Bai Ye saw the change in Nan Qi, and his face turned red. He didn't know whether to let go or not to let go of his arm around Nan Qi.
Seeing that Nan Qi's breath was getting hotter and hotter, the whole insect looked like a steamed shrimp, and its expression became more and more uncomfortable. Bai struggled for a moment, then resolutely lowered his head and grabbed Nan Qi's lips.
