This was something no one expected.

Is it Chen Wei's last wish that Chen Nian has lived in the underground city all these years?

Chen Ci: "Why?"

Jiang Dai shook his head: "I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with the monster I met in the sea of ​​fire."

"Maybe it's a sea king." Chen Ci said, "An alien, a mechanical part, trying to kill me and Chen Nian."

Chen Nian: "So the Sea King not only came ashore, but also climbed to the top of the cinnabar several kilometers high, and appeared at the fire scene? That's too awesome!"

Chen Ci: "It is indeed possible. Before we met Xila, we didn't know that she could transform into such a complete human form. Maybe I didn't tell you that Xila tried to give birth to the fetus in Fu Tianhe's belly and use his body to incubate it."

Chen Nian thought about the scene and shuddered with fear. It was so weird.

For a moment, no one spoke, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Chen Nian couldn't figure it out, so he decided to do something useful first. He took out his stylus pen and said, "By the way, Uncle Jiang, can you describe the monster in detail? I'll see if I can draw it."

"good."

Jiang Dai described the details as much as possible, including how tall the monster was, the shape of its head, its not-too-broad shoulders, and how many thorns were on its slender arms. All were clearly imprinted in his mind.

Chen Nian painted quickly. As Gui Zhiqi said, he was extremely talented and could outline the most precise form with just a few strokes.

He saved the layer: "Take a look, is this what it looks like?"

Jiang Dai nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's it."

Chen Nian enlarged the virtual screen so that everyone could see his painting. It certainly didn't look like any creature that anyone knew. If you didn't know, you might think it was a setting picture for a Cthulhu game.

Chen Ci thought of the programmer who was killed in the computer room. Maybe he died at the hands of something similar.

Chen Nian: "I originally wanted to say that maybe my father was afraid that I would be threatened by this monster again, so he asked you to take me away. But it is obvious that my brother has been living on the top floor and is very safe. Why did my father make such a decision?"

Even Jiang Dai was unable to answer. Chen Wei's expression was quite serious at that time, with dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well for several days.

Jiang Dai no longer remembered how he reacted when he heard this request. Perhaps he asked Chen Wei the reason, but ultimately received no answer.

Everything they experienced was planned by their father who died many years ago.

When I think of this, no matter whether it is clichés or ideas, I feel complicated.

"Then do you know who our mother is?" Chen Nian asked, "There is no mention of our mother in any of the records. It is impossible that Chen Ci and I popped out of a crack in the stone."

"I don't know who your mother is either." Jiang Dai said, "You were born in an incubator."

Nursery?

Chen Nian was surprised. He and Chen Ci looked at each other, and the mystery that had been lingering in his mind was suddenly solved.

Yes, it is not necessary for the mother to be pregnant for ten months, the incubator can also take on the work of embryonic development in the later stages. The answer is obvious. Chen Wei went to the moonlight expedition and brought back a pair of incubators.

This can also explain why the sea turtle was determined to take Chen Ci home, and why Chen Ci was so eager to step onto the long-forbidden ice and snow plateau.

That is their real "home".

The three of them talked with Jiang Dai for a long time. The fire that burned down the Chen family mansion was most likely the work of a monster. It tried to kill the two brothers. Unexpectedly, the elder brother was rescued by the Marshal's men, and the younger brother escaped because he was naughty.

Chen Nian planned to compare the monster's portrait with the manuscript left by his father one by one, hoping to find some clues.

Chen Nian: "By the way, how is our family doing now? Are there any relics left?"

Schaffray: "It's burned to the point where there's nothing left."

Chen Nian: "Well, it looks like there's no other way to find clues."

Jiang Dai had just removed the gauze, so it was best not to overexert his eyes. Shafley had been keeping track of the time, and when two hours had passed, he ended the conversation and let him rest.

Jiang Dai can now be discharged from the hospital, and there is no need for him to go back to the underground city. Shafley plans to settle Jiang Dai in this house so that when he returns to the palace in the future, it will be convenient for Chen Nian to visit him at any time.

Chen Nian took care of Jiang Dai and arranged a room for him. Chen Ci and Shafley sat in the living room and had a brief discussion.

"I have to go to Yueguang as soon as possible." Chen Ci said, "I will go to find Fu Tianhe tomorrow and go to Sanshui first, and then see if there is a way to get to Yueguang."

Shafley: “So fast?”

Chen Ci: "Well, I'm afraid of the long night and many dreams. I may not be able to come back in time this time. You can act according to the circumstances. If the situation is appropriate, tell Chen Nian everything."

Shafulai nodded: "Okay, I'll take you down tomorrow."

"No, I'd better leave the day after tomorrow." Chen Ci suddenly thought of something. He remained calm, but his amber eyes were cold.

"We have another very important matter to attend to."

When Lu Heng received the invitation from Shable, he thought he had seen it wrong.

He stared at the words on the invitation letter three or four times, his eyes fixed on the last signature "Shavlei Vitalievich", confirming that it was written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Lu Heng suppressed his ecstasy. He controlled the muscles on his face, showing a standard eight-tooth smile that conformed to the etiquette of the nobility. He said to the royal attendant who came to deliver the invitation: "Thank you. Please tell His Highness that I will be there on time."

After the servant left, Lu Heng immediately turned around and ran back to his family's house. He rushed to the second floor and almost bumped into Mrs. Lu on the stairs, causing his mother to frown and complain: "What are you doing? How reckless!"

Lu Heng automatically ignored it, he ran into the cloakroom, and excitedly chose the dress he was going to wear for his date today.

Even though the invitation was sent via electronic fax, His Royal Highness Shafley still sent someone to deliver it to him. Such thoughtfulness showed that this date was destined to be extraordinary.

His Highness finally realized his sincerity and began to look at him.

That's right. I really don't know what's so good about Chen Nian. Even if she's a child left behind by the Chen family, so what? How can a dirty Omega be worthy of his Highness? I don't know what shameful means she used before to make his Highness take good care of her.

Now that Your Highness has pulled back from the brink of death and seen Chen Nian's true face in time, he will definitely be very grateful to him.

But Your Highness is still engaged to the Chen family, so you have to find a way to get rid of Chen Ci.

But there is no need to be too anxious. As long as Your Highness can focus on him, the cancellation of the engagement is only a matter of time.

Maybe he could use the photos to threaten Chen? After all, they are identical twins, and if one of them gets into trouble, the other will surely suffer.

Lu Heng's mind was filled with calculations. He hummed a song as he picked out one expensive handmade dress after another. This one was too light in color, this one wasn't slim enough, this one was too similar to a dress Chen Nian had worn before... Wait a minute, why did he care about this?

Lu Heng frowned. He hesitated for two seconds, but finally threw the last set of clothes aside. He didn't want to wear clothes that looked like a bitch.

Afterwards, Lu Heng called a maid and asked her to put on some light makeup for him.

His Highness should be in a critical period of psychological change right now, and he has to face it in the best condition. Whether he can grasp His Highness's lost heart and win him back depends on this one move.

Lu Heng deliberately loosened the anti-bite collar around his neck so that the pheromones could diffuse out and linger around his body. He then sprayed on hibiscus perfume that matched the pheromones. Just by simply walking past him, he could exude the charm to attract Alphas.

He looked at the boy in the mirror. He had short, slightly curly dark brown hair, smiling eyes, red lips and white teeth. The slim navy blue dress outlined the seductive figure of an Omega. The leather anti-bite collar was like a kind of interest, peeking out slightly from the collar.

Lu Heng is content and satisfied.

The appointed time was approaching, and Lu Heng took the Lu family's special car to the location on the invitation letter, which was a villa more than 30 kilometers away from the palace. It was probably His Highness Shafuli's property outside.

The luxury car stopped steadily at the curb in front of the courtyard. Lu Heng took a deep breath, adjusted his appearance in front of the small mirror for the last time, waited for the driver to open the door for him, and stepped out gracefully with his head lowered.

The Alpha he was thinking about was waiting at the door. Shaflay was dressed relatively casually, but his noble temperament was intact. Instead, he revealed a bit of wildness that was rarely seen in normal times. His violet eyes were calm, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

Lu Heng heard that Shafley moved out of the palace on the night of the incident and lived here alone. Maybe after dinner, His Highness would let him stay overnight.

He has some interesting gadgets in his pocket that will come in handy when the time comes.

Lu Heng came to Shafulai with a smile and said softly, "Your Highness, you have been waiting for a long time."

"No problem." Shafley turned around, opened the door, and walked in first, saying to Lu Heng behind him, "Come in."

When Lu Heng walked into the living room, his attention was immediately drawn to the exquisitely decorated dining table. Silver tableware was placed at both ends, a rose was inserted in a tall glass, and the candlestick was burning quietly. The orange-red candlelight dispelled the darkness in the restaurant, making it ambiguous and warm.

Candlelight dinner.

"I hope I haven't delayed you too much by inviting you so suddenly." Shafley pulled out a chair for him and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you." Lu Heng was flattered. This was the first time he had such a close contact with Shafulai. Before that, the two of them had the opportunity to meet at banquets and chat for a few words. After all, the eldest prince was very busy and had so many rivals who were eyeing him covetously.

The sound of a piano suddenly rang out from the direction of the living room. The melody was soft and romantic, very suitable for the current scene. Lu Heng couldn't see clearly in the darkness, but someone should be playing.

His Highness was so romantic that he even hired someone to play music. Lu Heng took a deep breath and calmed himself down, trying not to be carried away by joy.

"What would you like to drink?" Shafley came to the wine cabinet and asked.

"Red wine is fine." Lu Heng replied. He hesitated for half a second, but finally made up his mind.

While Alpha was selecting red wine, Lu Heng raised his hand above the wine glass on Shaffley's side, flicked his fingernails lightly, and sprinkled the white powder he brought with him into the wine glass.

If he could seize the opportunity to get pregnant, all problems would be solved and he would become a noble prince's consort.

Shafley turned around and returned to the table to pour wine for Lu Heng and himself. The red wine fell into the crystal clear wine glass, exuding a faint aroma.

Lu Heng controlled his expression to avoid exposing himself. He looked into Alpha's violet eyes with a guilty look and said softly:

"Your Highness, are you in a bad mood? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I caused a conflict between you and the Crown Princess."

Shafley seemed to pause for a moment: "Do you really think so?"

Lu Heng nodded: "Well, actually after I went back that day, I thought a lot, maybe I didn't do enough——"

Shafulai put down the bottle and interrupted Lu Heng: "Then you should apologize to him in person."

As soon as Alpha finished speaking, a figure walked out from the darkness, with a smug smile on his lips, but the smile did not reach his cold eyes.

"Hi~" Chen Nian sat down on the chair opposite Lu Heng that should have belonged to Shafulai.

He stared at Lu Heng, whose eyes were almost popping out, with interest, picked up Shafulai's wine glass, took a sip leisurely, and said:

"Why are you standing there? Come on, apologize."
