Chapter 076 Your Majesty, I swear, I will not lie to you.
Xiang Nan thought in a daze, is this the human who was suddenly resurrected and was the treasure in the Haixinna Imperial Capital Museum?
He really is so handsome.
So cute.
Many words of praise came to Xiangnan's throat, but none of them seemed appropriate.
——I always feel that those words are completely unable to describe even one tenth of the human beings in front of me.
She kept her eyes fixed on He Xile, almost stunned, until the human standing in front of her tilted his head and called out "Sister" in a sweet voice, then she woke up from her dream.
Realizing her own gaffe, she blushed on the man's cheeks as if to cover it up. She immediately reached out, her eyes passing over He Xile's slender fingers, and took the two candies from his pink palm.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." He Xile smiled, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, very cute.
Seeing this, Xiangnan felt relieved.
She couldn't help but laugh too.
I always feel that being with humans and just standing by each other's side is a happy thing.
Xiangnan's favorability towards humans increased rapidly. She peeled the milk candy in her hand and put it into her mouth. A rich milky aroma instantly filled her entire mouth.
For a moment, all the bad things seemed to stay away from her.
But the next second, Xiang Nan suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by some terrifying existence.
Her hairless ears stood up alertly, and she looked sharply in the general direction of the sight. When she looked up, she saw only a pair of crimson eyes.
Yes, yes, Your Majesty!
——The king of Haixinna was standing at the window, looking down with an expressionless face.
Xiang Nan was shocked.
She grew up on a remote planet and had never seen Wen Ji or His Majesty. Her biggest impression of him was nothing more than the brief time they had spent together and the rumors she had heard.
Xiang Nan was very grateful for being rescued and later suppressed by terrifying mental power and finally getting "free".
But according to rumors, His Majesty is a very violent ruler who even massacred Hai Xinna. He does everything as he pleases, and if he is unhappy... the consequences will be unimaginable.
The mysterious deaths of several nobles before were said to be the work of Wen Jiyu.
Xiang Nan was wavering, and countless bloody scenes suddenly appeared in his mind, and his heart was pounding.
——Why is Your Majesty looking at her like that? Is he tired of her because of his parents’ affairs?
Then, will she be blamed?
What if His Majesty thinks she is too troublesome and doesn't want to see her anymore, causing her to... what should she do then? She didn't want to let go of this opportunity she had finally gotten to leave her family, she wanted to hold on tightly.
Just as Xiang Nan's eyes became more determined...
"What are you still standing there for?"
A deep voice came from above, "He Xile." He rarely called out a human's full name, his voice calm, "If you don't come up now, forget about eating the delicious food."
Eh?
He Xile seemed to have just remembered the delicious food. He widened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, wait for me..."
After saying that, the human hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm going upstairs to eat first, you come quickly too." After saying that, he ran upstairs at a rapid speed as if he had Hot Wheels.
Xiang Nan stood there, still a little unresponsive.
She looked confused.
So, that look from His Majesty just now...
Xiangnan raised his head and looked into His Majesty's eyes again.
At this moment, His Majesty's gaze was no longer as cold as before, as if the previous eye contact was all Xiang Nan's illusion.
She was stunned for a moment and heard the guards calling her.
"Xiangnan, come up and have your meal. From now on, your parents..." The guard paused and immediately changed his tone, saying, "That couple will never harass you again."
"Okay." Xiang Nan gave a shy smile.
Before leaving, she looked up again, but His Majesty was no longer there through the window.
&
He Xile returned upstairs, his cheeks flushed with anxiety - all along the way, He Xile was thinking about the delicious food, and was afraid that Wen Ji and His Majesty would be unhappy, so he simply ran over and didn't even feel tired.
It was not until he arrived at the restaurant that he realized he was a little out of breath.
Wen Jiyu frowned: "Prosperity."
He handed over a glass of water.
He Xile: "Thank you." He tilted his head back and drank half the cup in one breath.
The next second, a beautifully packaged box was pushed in front of He Xile. Wen Jiyu said calmly, "Once we return to the capital, we must start physical training."
He Xile coughed lightly and put the cup back on the table, feeling a little guilty: "I know."
But soon, his attention was completely drawn to the box in front of him.
"For you." Wen Jiyu said.
He Xile exclaimed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He jumped onto the stool excitedly and turned the box around first, but the box was packed very tightly, so he couldn't see what kind of delicious food was inside, let alone smell it.
With anticipation for an unknown gift, He Xile opened the box carefully.
When he saw what was inside, He Xile was stunned.
This gourmet gift looked a bit like a cake on Earth. The aroma filled He Xile's nose, making his mouth water. However, He Xile was a little reluctant to eat it.
On the round cake base is a small house surrounded by flowers. The layers of well-matched blue flowers, adorning the pure white house with a hint of yellow stamens in the center, are particularly beautiful.
He Xile's eyes were full of amazement.
He raised the terminal and couldn't help taking a picture of the cake.
Wen Ji raised his eyebrows.
That’s it?
Is it still worth photographing?
He had seen many better ones before. If He Xile saw this, wouldn’t he be overjoyed?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw He Xile in front of me clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
Wen sent: "?"
He looked at He Xile and asked, "What are you doing?"
It looked like some kind of pious ritual.
This made Wen Jiyu somewhat unhappy.
He Xile: "Make a wish."
Make a wish?
Wen Jiyu's expression became even gloomier.
He Xile had no idea what His Majesty was thinking. He made a sincere wish before opening his eyes. Although it wasn't his birthday and there were no candles to blow, one still needed a sense of ritual in life, not to mention being able to cut the cake!
He Xile held the knife handle, which was a bit heavy for him, and stood ready. He tried in several directions for a long time before solemnly cutting out a perfect triangular piece.
"Yeah." He was very satisfied.
He Xile happily divided the pieces and pushed the cake in front of Wen Jiyu: "Your Majesty, you eat first."
The cake was brought back by Wen Jiyou, so He Xile was of course embarrassed to eat it alone.
Besides, people always have to learn to be more sensible.
Wen Jiyu did not respond.
He just looked at He Xile coldly.
He Xile: "What's wrong?"
"What did you wish for? Who did you wish for?"
Wen Jiyu lowered his eyes, his lips pressed into a straight line. He showed his unhappiness directly on his face, leaned forward a little, locked his eyes with He Xile, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I am your guardian. I spent 30 billion to buy you. Asking you to answer two questions for me is not too much, right?"
He Xile was stunned.
He whispered, "Wishes made out loud won't work, but if you want to hear it... I wish for my parents, and for Your Majesty, to live a peaceful and happy life, just like my name implies."
"As for who to make a wish to..."
He Xile was stunned and suddenly froze, "I, I don't know either..."
Before, on Earth, He Xile only knew that he had to make a wish and blow out the candles on his birthday, but he never thought about who he was making the wish to.
"Maybe it's, God?" He Xile said hesitantly.
Wen Jiyu looked at He Xile and laughed angrily: "Are you fooling me?"
"No." He Xile quickly waved his hands and explained the custom on Earth in simple terms. "It's just a custom. Celebrating birthdays, or making wishes during popular celebrations, isn't considered religious, nor is it about worshipping anyone. It's just a way for people to express their desire and yearning for a better life on such important days or occasions."
Wen Jiyu was still staring at He Xile.
He Xile pursed his lips: "I didn't lie to you."
Wen Jiyu snorted from his nose.
I don’t know whether I believed it or not.
He Xile stood up and sat next to His Majesty. He raised His Majesty's hand and placed it on his head. He looked His Majesty in the eye and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I swear, I will not lie to you."
“…”
The two looked at each other for a while.
Wen Jiyu raised his chin and said, "Go sit over there."
It seems that he believed it.
He Xile then stood up and cut a second piece for himself.
He wondered in his heart, what on earth did the previous Holy See bring to His Majesty that would cause His Majesty to react so strongly after hearing these key words, even to the point of feeling a little extreme?
His Majesty……
There was a hint of worry in He Xile's eyes.
However, He Xile would never ask these questions now.
——Asking for details before the other person has let go of something is not caring, but exposing someone's scars.
He Xile simply stopped worrying about it, put the matter behind him, and tasted the cake. The cake had a rich milky aroma, and was dense and smooth in the mouth, not greasy, with a relatively light sweetness, which was very much in line with He Xile's taste.
He Xile's eyes lit up.
tasty!
Wen Jiyu sat beside him and tapped the table lightly with his fingers when he saw this: "Eat less, there are still staple foods."
It's like a sign of goodwill.
He Xile looked up at His Majesty, his eyes curved into a beautiful shape, his pupils shining like stars.
He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I will never eat too much."
In the next few days, Wen Ji and His Majesty became increasingly busy.
He Xile was very well-behaved, staying in his room every day, logging into the Star Network, live-streaming, training, and piloting his mecha. He was a relatively quiet person, a homebody, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of life.
Wait until ten days later.
One morning, before He Xile got up, he felt like he and his quilt were flying up.
He was frightened and was about to move when he heard a familiar deep voice from above: "Don't move."
He Xile: “?”
He Xile whispered, "Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Wen Jiyu responded, "I'm getting ready to go back to the imperial capital."
ah?
At this time?
He Xile looked out in a daze and found that it was still dark.
He yawned, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt drowsy and tried to close his eyes again, but his body remained wrapped in the blanket. After a while, he realized, "Is there any danger? Why are you so anxious?"
Wen Jiyu said vaguely, "Almost."
He Xile was no longer sleepy.
He looked around warily and didn't ask himself to come down and walk.
——With his short legs, even if he ran, he couldn't keep up with His Majesty's current speed. If he really made such a request, it would simply be a drag on His Majesty, and he was afraid that both His Majesty and he would not die fast enough.
Therefore, he might as well be a good boy, at least to make Wen Jiyu feel more comfortable in his arms.
When they got outside, the guards were already there. Everyone boarded their respective spaceships and then transferred to the battleship.
It was fast when coming, but even faster when going back.
By the time the sun was high in the sky, the warship had already arrived at the imperial capital.
After many days, He Xile finally returned to this familiar place. Stepping on the soft grass and looking at the beautiful buildings and lush green plants and small gardens around him, he felt a little relieved.
However, before He Xile could move, Guard 131 quickly came over.
He looked around with a hint of nervousness on his face and whispered, "Sir He Xile, you've returned at a bad time. The palace is under martial law. Please follow me back to my room now."
ah.
Is it a giant octopus?
