Chapter 8
He Xile was stunned.
When he woke up in the museum before, He Xile found that he was wearing clothes, so he didn't think much about it. But now when he heard what this man said, He Xile instantly became nervous.
——Before waking up, He Xile was just an unconscious body. Changing his clothes and the like must have been the job of the staff. What if they really took the opportunity to film something...
Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Destroy it!!!!
And most importantly, this person actually sold this kind of stuff to minors???
Oh my god—
He Xile felt a little unwell.
report!
Be sure to report -
The man saw that He Xile didn't know what he was thinking and was staring at one point in a daze, but he didn't care.
He rubbed his hands together and continued to promote his product: "Little friend, for just seventeen star coins, the price of a meal, you can purchase an exclusive photo album of the people of the Azure Planet. Are you sure you don't want to consider it?"
He Xi was happy, ashamed and angry.
Oh my god!
And it’s so cheap! Wouldn’t everyone get one?!
And the saddest thing is that he can't even take out these seventeen star coins!
He Xile was overwhelmed with emotions. He hesitated and said, "Brother, I don't have any money right now. Can I take a look at what the photo album is like? If I like it, I will definitely buy it."
The man frowned subconsciously.
Who in business has never encountered such a customer?
In the past, men would never agree to this.
After all, this deal carries a huge criminal risk! What if the other party finishes watching it but doesn't pay? He can't even go to the association to defend his rights, let alone erase the other party's memory.
But for some reason, the man felt quite fond of this child when he saw him.
So his brows only frowned for a moment before relaxing.
The man whispered, "That's fine, but you have to promise not to take screenshots or photos."
"Well, of course not."
He Xile responded absentmindedly.
They were all those kinds of photos… How could he even take screenshots and photos?
He is not a pervert!
He Xile's mood hit rock bottom.
He thought of what Captain Xing had said before, and immediately made up his mind to be ready to call the police at any time. Then, he saw the man looking around and mysteriously took out a bunch of photos.
He Xile quickly moved over——
Just as the man said, the photo in his hand was very clear, and almost every detail could be seen clearly, but the content...
In the photo, He Xile lies peacefully in a display case at the Imperial Center Museum. His long, thick eyelashes resemble crow feathers, curled slightly at the ends. His lips are pale, his hands are flat, and he is wearing the same clothes he was in when he woke up.
The whole person does not look like he is dead, but rather like he is asleep.
He Xile: “?”
When He Xile put up a question mark, it wasn't because he had a problem, but because he felt the other party had a problem.
He Xile looked up at the man.
That’s it?
What kind of photo album is this!
man:"?"
He frowned. "What's wrong? Aren't you satisfied with what you see? I took great pains to secretly photograph these. Although you're young, you should know how much emphasis is placed on protecting portrait rights these days."
He flicked the photos with his fingers, somewhat proudly saying, "Not everyone is as powerful as me, able to get such a superb photo album. And didn't I tell you? There's also a short video. This is a precious video of the moment when the human wakes up! And a short video of the human being taken out of the museum! Ordinary people can't capture it!"
He Xile: “…”
Oh.
He Xile said slowly, "Thank you, but I don't think it's necessary."
"Really?" The man was shocked.
He Xile: "Yes, sorry."
"...How come you are so ignorant, kid?" the man snorted coldly.
You know, this is a real human photo album!
Doesn't this kid know how popular that human is in the Empire? When he grows up and his tastes catch up, he'll definitely regret what happened today when he thinks back on it!
Then she will definitely come to him crying and shouting!

Wen Jiyu was sitting in the luxurious palace, handling government affairs.
He sat lazily, listening to the reports from the guards beside him and watching the trivial matters of the ministers and nobles. He was feeling a little drowsy when the terminal on his wrist suddenly vibrated.
A small piece of fine scales appeared on the covered wrist almost instantly.
Wen Ji and I became a little more sober.
This is a somewhat strange feeling.
The last time the terminal vibrated was over twenty years ago, when the Zerg, having gathered their strength for years, suddenly invaded the Empire. At that time, the Starnet sent a top-priority message to everyone in the Empire, urging civilians to take shelter immediately, using this vibration pattern.
The next day, Wen Jiyou went to the battlefield.
When he returns, he will become the next emperor of the empire.
The guards did not notice the vibration and continued to report in a low voice.
Wen Jiyu raised his hand.
The palace fell silent in an instant.
What will it be this time?
Wen Jiyu lazily opened the terminal.
——"Your ward, He Xile, has logged into the Star Network for the first time. Come and interact with him~!"
Wen Jiyu stared at the terminal for a long time without moving.
After two seconds, he closed the terminal and said calmly, "Continue."
Time flies.
A group of guards have been replaced.
The newcomer was about to continue reporting on his work when he suddenly saw Wen Ji and His Majesty standing up.
Guard: "Your Majesty?"
Wen Jiyu said lightly, "I'm hungry. Let's go eat first. We'll talk after we finish eating."
"Yes." The guard followed closely.
He was very confused - His Majesty's habit in the past was to finish all official business before going to eat, which usually took until nearly two o'clock in the afternoon. Today, he actually went to eat at mealtime for the first time?
Is there anything delicious today?
&
"Mr. He Xile, it's time for lunch."
When He Xile received the message from the guard, he was looking up at the plaque in front of him.
Mecha Experience Hall
"The largest and most realistic virtual battlefield, bringing you an unparalleled combat experience"
The person standing by looked at He Xile and said with a smile, "Little boy, you've been standing here for a while. Do you want to drive a mecha too? No, your bodies are not compatible with mechas now. You can only wait until you reach adulthood. But if your guardian agrees to let you stay up late, you can come here at 10 o'clock in the evening. There will be a live broadcast of the All-Star Network's mecha competition, and the person in the rumor will also participate in this battle. Even if you can't drive the mecha, it's exciting to watch it."
"Thank you. I understand."
He Xile said, "If I'm free in the evening, I'll come and take a look."
After he finished speaking, he almost couldn't wait to log off from StarNet.
——The chef said this morning that he would request meat that is more suitable for He Xile’s taste. I wonder if he got it!
He Xile was very much looking forward to it.
He and the guards went to the dining room. When the door opened, He Xile was about to run over when he saw another person sitting at the table. The person had his back to He Xile, and he was wearing his signature cloak, with waves at the end that looked like they were about to fly.
He Xile's pace slowed down instantly.
I have heard this and sent it to Your Majesty.
Since he was his guardian, He Xile felt embarrassed not to say hello.
"Good day, Your Majesty." He Xile walked over, stood at a distance not too far from him, and saluted him.
Wen Jiyu: "Yeah."
There was a hint of perfunctoriness in the cold voice.
Okay, I’ve said hello!
It’s time to eat!
He Xile was about to sit aside when he thought of something. He hesitated for a moment, then stood still and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern and for finding a designer for me."
Upon hearing this, the honorable Majesty finally turned around and looked at He Xile.
Jane's clothes weren't ready yet, and He Xile was still wearing the same outfit. He frowned slightly and said, "The whole universe knows I'm your guardian now. If you go out like this..."
He looked He Xile up and down and sneered, "The one who was lost is mine."
There is nothing wrong with this.
He Xile nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes."
I heard that he had a meal with me.
…Did this human understand what he was saying?
Or is there something wrong with the terminal translation?
Otherwise, no one would be happy to hear this, right? It is even more impossible for them to agree with him.
He Xile looked at His Majesty and blinked innocently.
Although Wen Ji and His Majesty's tone was filled with sarcasm just now, He Xile always focused on the results in such matters. He had benefited from His Majesty's help. Not only did he now live in His Majesty's house for free, eat and drink at His Majesty's expense, but His Majesty had even taken the initiative to find someone to make him clothes. He Xile had already taken all the benefits, so what did it matter if His Majesty vented his anger?
He Xile's eyes curved into beautiful crescents: "Then I won't disturb Your Majesty's meal."
Wen Jiyu: "Wait."
His eyes were lazy, and his gaze lingered on He Xile's lips for a moment, "Come here."
He Xile was stunned and walked over without hesitation.
Wen Jiyu, sitting on a stool, didn't seem so tall. The two of them, one sitting and one standing, were almost at eye level. He didn't say why he called He Xile over. He just washed his hands slowly and wiped them clean with a clean towel.
He Xile didn't understand what was going on, so he could only watch Wen Jiyu's movements.
The towel was thrown aside and the guards took it away.
Wen Jiyu finally spoke: "As your guardian, I have the right to check your physical health."
He Xile understood.
It turns out that I wanted to know about his physical condition.
He Xile raised his hand and showed his temporary terminal: "When I just woke up, I had a test at the hospital. Here is the electronic report..."
Wen Jiyu: "Don't look at that."
He turned sideways a little, "Open your mouth."
He Xile: “?”
ah?
Why are you opening your mouth?
Although he was a little confused, He Xile still opened his mouth subconsciously.
The next second, a slender finger reached into He Xile's mouth.
He Xile: “!!!”
W-what’s going on???
There were obvious calluses on the fingertips of Wen Ji and Your Majesty. When they accidentally touched He Xile's soft lips, they quickly retracted their fingers.
The foreign body sensation in his mouth made He Xile feel a little uncomfortable.
He was a little frightened by Wen Jiyou's behavior just now, but he realized it belatedly and immediately closed his mouth.
His teeth bit Wen Jiyu's hand, but the other party didn't even blink, as if this little injury was just a mosquito bite on a summer night.
He quickly swept his fingertips across He Xile's teeth twice, muttering to himself, "It's really flat." While speaking, his fingers remained in He Xile's mouth, touching He Xile's two small canine teeth again. He sneered with some disdain and said, "Mini canine teeth, it seems he's an immature brat."
He Xile: “…”
He's clearly an adult...
But never mind.
This matter is too complicated to explain.
but……
Wen Jiyu made these movements because he didn't believe that he couldn't bite the meat of the dairy sheep, so he touched his teeth on purpose!
The fingers finally pulled out.
Wen Jiyu said, "Do you know what it means to be the king of an empire?"
He Xile was bewildered: "Strength? Power?"
Why did the topic suddenly turn to this?
Wen Ji and Hui: "It means that you are all my property. No matter what I do to you, it is justified."
He Xile: "...Okay, I'll make a note of it."
He couldn't help but look at Wen Jiyu twice more, "Your Majesty, can I go eat now?"
"Yes." Wen Jiyu, "Go ahead."
He Xile took a seat.
Perhaps because Wen Ji was there, He Xile's guard stood dignified the whole time and did not come to help He Xile wipe his hands or stuff his handkerchief. Even the chef in front of him did not dare to breathe.
He Xile was the one who looked the most comfortable among all the people.
He looked at the meal in front of him, his eyes sparkling.
——This afternoon, the chef really cooked meat that he could eat.
happiness!
He Xile cut the meat into small pieces and took a bite. The fresh and tender taste fully satisfied his taste buds. He Xile was so happy that his legs couldn't help shaking.
So delicious!
He Xile concentrated on eating meat.
Wen Ji and His Majesty arrived earlier than He Xile. He finished eating quickly, wiped his mouth gracefully, and stood up to leave.
The door to the restaurant opened and closed.
The air around finally became lively again.
The guard's tense expression also relaxed compared to before.
He took the initiative to move He Xile's plate over and began to help He Xile cut the meat. Thinking of what had just happened, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Sir He Xile, what His Majesty just said... was not what he meant. I hope you won't be sad."
He Xile: "It's okay, I know."
He didn't take it to heart at all.
The guard was stunned and looked at He Xile, and found that He Xile's expression did not seem fake.
His eyes became gentler.
He Xile didn't say much about His Majesty.
He changed the subject immediately and said with emotion: "This meat is so delicious..."
Before logging into the Star Network, He Xile's mouth was watering at the aroma of food coming from the snack shops on both sides of the road. Now that he had eaten the meat cooked by the chef, he finally satisfied his craving.
He couldn't help but give the chef a thumbs-up: "Your cooking skills are really good. By the way, this means 'awesome' on our blue planet."
The chef laughed heartily. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency. By the way, there's one more thing I'd like you to know. After you left this morning, I immediately contacted His Majesty's guards. His Majesty approved the request quickly, without any delay, so the fresh meat was delivered smoothly before noon."
He said, "No one among our people has ever had teeth like yours, so Your Majesty just..."
The chef didn't say anything else.
He Xile nodded: "I know."
After finishing the remaining dishes like the wind sweeping away the remaining clouds, He Xile touched his belly and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
On the way back, He Xile thought that although the guards and the chefs were afraid of meeting His Majesty, after His Majesty left, they would take the initiative to say good things about His Majesty to him.

In interstellar society, the production of ready-made clothes is much faster than on Earth.
He Xile took a nap at noon. When he woke up in the afternoon, Jane had already brought two sets of clothes and appeared at the door of his room.
"Sir, do you need me to help you change?"
Jane's gaze was intense.
"No need." He Xile refused firmly on the spot.
The guards who followed He Xile changed shifts, and the one staying next to him now was the guard with vertical pupils that he had met before. He had obviously been specially warned by his colleagues, and he looked at Jian with great vigilance, as if he would drag Jian out if he dared to do anything rash again.
Jane raised her hands helplessly, her face lost: "Okay then. I'll wait for you outside."
He Xile went to change clothes alone.
The two pieces of clothing that Jane brought looked very complicated, with layers of lace on the cuffs, looking a bit like the styles that only noblemen in ancient Western countries would wear.
He Xile took off his loose clothes and put them on quickly.
The size was measured in advance and it fit He Xile's body perfectly, allowing him to move freely. The fabric was very soft and close-fitting, and there was no discomfort at all.
He Xile walked out of the locker room.
Although He Xile had not been away for long, Jane could no longer wait.
His shoes tapped involuntarily on the carpet in the room.
Seeing He Xile come out, his eyes suddenly lit up: "I knew that this dress would suit you very well. I made this with reference to the books I read about the civilization of the blue planet. Oh my god, it's so beautiful, it's really a masterpiece! I swear, if you wear this dress out or to a party, you will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention - Oh, my baby, my muse, I'm inspired again, and I can't wait to get back to my studio!"
"Hurry," he urged, "please let me see the effect of the other one."
He Xile: "...Okay."
He returned to the locker room.
The other one was actually similar in style to this one, but with many different elements. After He Xile changed, she moved slightly, and the wide lace on her wrists folded down, revealing her delicate white arms.
He Xile thought, girls would probably like these two pieces of clothing very much after seeing them, right?
"It's just perfect—" Jane was immersed in it.
He kept circling around He Xile.
He Xile originally wanted the other party to tailor clothes for him in a more casual style, or to make them similar to the styles worn by interstellar people, instead of being so exaggerated.
But Jane was very excited and walked out quickly.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I have to leave quickly. My inspiration has completely burst out. Please wait for my good news--"
The sound gradually faded away.
He Xile: “…”
He Xile turned around and saw the guards were also looking at him.
He lowered his head curiously, reached out and pulled at his clothes, and asked, "Does it really look good in this?"
Guard: "It looks good."
His pupils narrowed almost into a line as he said seriously, "You look good in anything you wear."
He Xile felt a little embarrassed by being praised so much and began to regret the question he had just asked.
——Isn’t this clearly a desire for praise?
No one would say that the other person is not good-looking after hearing this question.
However, the people on this planet really like to praise others too much.
Ever since He Xile woke up, almost everyone he met praised him, and they did so very proactively.
What a wonderful cultural atmosphere this is?
He Xile thought that when people are praised, their mood will indeed become better, so this behavior is very worth promoting. He should also praise people more often in the future!
&
In the evening, He Xile did some rehabilitation exercises for a while.
After taking a shower, he dried his hair, climbed into bed, and checked the time. It was exactly nine forty-five in the evening. There were only fifteen minutes left until the time of the mecha battle that the kind-hearted person on Starnet told him.
He Xile logged into StarNet.
The time on StarNet is consistent with reality.
He Xile looked at the starry sky above his head and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
There are several times more people around than during the day.
He Xile was small and light, so he couldn't stand up at all and was almost squeezed to the front of the road. He was a little nervous at first, but when he realized that everyone was going to the same destination as him, he relaxed relatively and followed the flow of people.
Soon, we arrived at our destination.
There were huge crowds of people.
He Xile stood on tiptoe, feeling a little overwhelmed.
He's so short! When he stands upright, all he can see is a wall of people, nothing in front of him!
Damn it!
He Xile wanted to cry but had no tears.
Just then, a huge roar sounded.
Everyone looked up at the sky, and He Xile also looked up, only to see a red dot appear among the countless stars. The red dot grew bigger and bigger, and the cheers of the people around him became louder and louder.
"Yudui——"
"Yudui——"
He Xile lowered his head, and the terminal automatically translated: Yudui - God.
The red light almost covered the entire sky of the star network. When the red light got closer, He Xile discovered that it was actually a very large mecha that could almost cover the sky and the sun.
The body of the mecha was completely black, as if it could absorb all light, emitting a cold breath, but red light burst out from the tip, giving the mecha a layer of evil light.
The mecha was controlled by the warrior who owned it and stopped exactly within the range of the battlefield. At the same time, a beam of light shot out from its weapon box and almost instantly cut through the sky.
It was clearly night, but it was almost daytime.
He Xile tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, and his pupils were full of brilliant colors.
"Wow--"
So cool!!!
The author has something to say:
He Xile: That was an ignorant statement.
