A general? They actually brought in such a big shot to capture Gu Chenyuan this time?
Ye Qingyun was immediately startled.
As far as Ye Qingyun knew, this general was extremely powerful, known as having few rivals, and had suppressed countless people who were dissatisfied with the royal family.
The key point is that this general in the original work has a unique hobby: he likes to break the wings of the strong and watch them suffer and be angry, yet have no choice but to submit to him.
Therefore, the general fell in love with Gu Chenyuan at first sight and wanted to forcibly take Gu Chenyuan as his lover and make Gu Chenyuan obediently acknowledge him as his master.
The author calls this forced love, and it's very exciting.
Ye Qingyun didn't find it exciting at all; he only felt disgusted.
In the original novel, the general didn't actually do anything to Gu Chenyuan, or even make Gu Chenyuan remember who he was, but every time they met, he brought trouble to Gu Chenyuan.
If Gu Chenyuan meets the characters in the same order as in the original story, then the general should have already met Gu Chenyuan before meeting him.
Perhaps this is why the general is here, and this time the royal family is also stirring things up behind the scenes. If Gu Chenyuan really can't hold on...
Hmph, he hasn't even given his permission to touch Gu Chenyuan yet!

On the largest spaceship in the sky, a man and a woman stood beside a huge display screen, chatting idly while observing whether any anomalies were occurring in the area displayed on the screen.
“Second Princess,” the man, who looked very ill-intentioned, said, “we had an agreement. I’ll guarantee that everything will go perfectly, and in return, you can let me play with him for a while.”
The second princess, with bright red lipstick, chuckled lightly: "Of course, our royal family has no need to lie to General Li about such a trivial matter. Before we came, my father told me that as long as we capture that person, we can spread the word on the interstellar network for a few days that he is the legendary figure, and then we can shatter and dismantle his superpowers in front of those ignorant masses. After that, you can do whatever you want with him."
General Li seemed quite pleased. He said a few insincere words of flattery and then said, "Second Princess, if I remember correctly, you also greatly admire such handsome young men. Why are you being so generous this time and giving them to me?"
The second princess smiled slightly: "Of course, we'll find something more to our liking. Then we can each have one, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
The general understood, laughed, and was about to say something when he noticed something unusual on the monitor screen.
Along with the soldier's death report came a blurry image. The face was indistinct, but the slender figure seemed familiar to both the Second Princess and the General.
The man immediately stood up, spoke to the princess, and then hurriedly set off towards the anomaly.
————
The second princess watched the general's departing figure and couldn't help but smile, feeling that Gu Chenyuan would soon be brought back.
Based on the previous incident where Gu Chenyuan tried to kill her but was blocked by the protective necklace she was wearing, Gu Chenyuan's supernatural power, while formidable, is certainly not ridiculously high. General Li should be able to bring him back.
Even if General Li really can't win, the supernatural decomposition machine that's on its way will arrive soon.
No superhuman can withstand that machine. No matter how strong Gu Chenyuan is, he will be defeated by them today.
This plan can only succeed; there is no possibility of failure.
After today, imperial power will be even more consolidated, and no one will dare to resist anymore. The beauty I saw last time will also belong to her.
The entire interstellar space belongs to their race!

Ye Qingyun looked outside the door. Their area was illuminated by a dense barrage of beams of light, and countless spaceships and people surrounded them. The idea of escaping silently was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Ye Qingyun looked at the enemy outside, her expression gradually becoming serious.
The situation is so urgent, yet he still hasn't given Gu Chenyuan the antidote.
The antidote was kept in his inner pocket; he could take it out and make Gu Chenyuan drink it as soon as he wanted.
But what if Gu Chenyuan refuses? What if Gu Chenyuan is as stubborn as last time and throws away the antidote?
At this point, he no longer has time to make another bottle of the antidote.
Ye Qingyun's mind was in chaos. He was led by Gu Chenyuan to a hidden dark room.
"Stay here for now, it's not easy to be discovered from here." Gu Chenyuan pushed him inside. "Come out after everything is over." Gu Chenyuan was silent for a moment, then continued, "If anything happens, I'll hold them off, you can leave on your own. The spaceship key is inside."
"What do you want to do?" Ye Qingyun grabbed Gu Chenyuan's shoulder, refusing to enter the room. "What will you do if I leave? Have you forgotten what kind of constitution you have? The bloodline restriction in your body dictates that the farther I am from you, the more uncomfortable you will feel. Have you completely forgotten all of that?"
Gu Chenyuan had not forgotten, and he did not want to let Ye Qingyun leave, but compared to the possibility of Ye Qingyun's accident, he would rather let go.
"Listen to me," Ye Qingyun said urgently, "Drink the antidote and remove the bloodline restriction. Make sure you're safe first, okay?"
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, she sensitively noticed a subtle change in Gu Chenyuan's aura.
"Antidote? Do you have other antidotes?" Gu Chenyuan asked softly.
Ye Qingyun felt a chill run down his spine at that moment. He forced himself to say, "Yes, there was some left over from last time. That's not the point. You need to drink it quickly and break the bloodline restriction on your body; that's the important thing!"
"You're right. I should drink the antidote now, so you won't worry." To Ye Qingyun's surprise, Gu Chenyuan agreed very readily.
Gu Chenyuan then asked, "How many bottles of antidote are left? We have to be careful. This is an important research result, and we can't let those people outside find out about it, otherwise who knows what they will do with it."
Gu Chenyuan's reasons were all reasonable, and Ye Qingyun could not find any logical flaws, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she replied, "There is only one bottle left, not many materials, and we can't make too many."
“Hmm,” Gu Chenyuan nodded, coaxing gently, “Where’s the antidote? Give it to me.”
Ye Qingyun could easily take out the antidote with a simple reach, but a thousand thoughts swirled in his mind, and Gu Chenyuan's past behavior came to mind.
Ye Qingyun clenched his fist, then quickly released it. He took Gu Chenyuan's hand, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom where they had been.
The bedroom remained exactly as it was when they left, with two glasses of wine placed on the bedside tables on either side of the bed.
The wine is fine, but there's no one who can appreciate it now.
Ye Qingyun walked to the bed where Gu Chenyuan usually slept, reached out and picked up a wine glass from the bedside table, turned around to face Gu Chenyuan, and handed the wine glass to him.
Gu Chenyuan didn't answer. He looked at Ye Qingyun in silence, as if waiting for an explanation.
Ye Qingyun said in a low voice, "This period of time is too dangerous. I think we may be forced to separate, so I want you to drink the antidote. But when I tested you before, you insisted that you would not drink it. I felt that if I gave you the antidote directly, you would throw it away, so I... I mixed the antidote into the wine."
There was no need to say more; Ye Qingyun believed that with Gu Chenyuan's intelligence, he could guess the answer.
Gu Chenyuan accepted the antidote.
Ye Qingyun looked at Gu Chenyuan, and Gu Chenyuan smiled back at him.
“Qingyun is very clever,” Gu Chenyuan said gently, “and her guess was correct.”
Ye Qingyun: "Huh?"
“If you had given me the antidote back then, I definitely would have thrown it away,” Gu Chenyuan explained.
"Yes, I guessed..." Ye Qingyun wanted to say something, but before she could finish speaking, Gu Chenyuan interrupted her.
"However, there's something you didn't expect," Gu Chenyuan said with a smile, "Even if you gave it to me now, it would still be..."
The glass Gu Chenyuan was holding tilted, and all the wine inside spilled onto the ground.
“I’ll still knock him to the ground.” Gu Chenyuan finally said the sentence in its entirety.
Ye Qingyun stared wide-eyed at Gu Chenyuan, who then put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him away with irresistible force, taking him back to the dark room. "There is no antidote, and don't even think about making me drink any antidote."
Ye Qingyun finally couldn't hold back any longer and yelled, "Are you crazy? Don't you have any sense of reason? What's wrong with taking the antidote? If we separate and you're in a dangerous situation, the pain could very well cost you your life! You're creating a weakness for yourself, don't you know that?! You're a madman!"
“Well said,” Gu Chenyuan said without changing his expression. He let Ye Qingyun curse him, pinched her chin, and placed a light kiss on the corner of her mouth. “But I can bear the pain. These are factors I can control, they don’t matter. Let me tell you what uncontrollable factors are—”
Gu Chenyuan said to Ye Qingyun, word by word, "Your departure is uncontrollable. But I want to control your departure, so I will cut off every factor that could increase your chances of leaving and never looking back."
Ye Qingyun was completely speechless. He stared at Gu Chenyuan in shock for a long while before finally saying, "You just said not long ago that you would let me leave when I was in danger, and now you're going back on your word?"
Gu Chenyuan patiently explained to him, "It's not the same. If you leave this time, and I'm still alive, you'll come looking for me. But if I'm dead..."
What else can happen after death?
Before Gu Chenyuan could finish speaking, he took advantage of Ye Qingyun's inattention, pushed her into the dark room, locked the door, and left.
Ye Qingyun was so angry he almost fainted. He slammed his fist on the door, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then looked down to examine the door lock.
Damn it, they thought a broken door could stop him? They underestimated him.
Ye Qingyun touched her pocket again, and the small bottle of antidote was still lying there quietly, intact.
Gu Chenyuan doesn't want to drink, so what should he do?
