Arc 6
The Queen’s Male Pet (4)
“Host ah,” 38 comforted Ye Chen, “Don’t think too much, cheer up, at least this proves that the Villain is not in love with you, isn’t it?” ”
“He loves me, I’m worried.” Ye Chen sighed, “He doesn’t love me, I’m sad. What do you think I should do?”
“That…” 38 hesitated, “Let him not love you once and love you once? For example, let him not love you this time and let him love you next time. So, you guys take turns at being sad, how about it?”
Ye Chen, “……”
She somehow got a newfound knowledge of the AI’s peculiar way of thinking.
After thinking about it, Ye Chen relaxed. In fact, for them, the most important thing was their end destination. Once and for all, when she completed the S-level task, he could fall in love with her, and they could be together for a long time.
As for in the middle, if he… didn’t like her, it’s good.
Ye Chen was resolved. She looked right and left and asked 38, “What’s the situation now? ”
“Well, the old man who brought you back is the leader here. He went out for a drink and planned to sleep with you when he returned.”
“Sleep with me?” Ye Chen was stumped, “He put me here, on this haystack, to sleep with me?”
“Yes ah,” 38 nodded, “This is a garbage star. If you go out and look to the East, you can see a huge garbage pile. The garbage of other stars is discharged to this planet. Having some living supplies is already considered plenty here. Why would you think they would be so fussy over that?”’
“Forget it, stop talking about it. Let’s check on Lu Liang first.”
“Host, what are you planning to do?” 38 was curious. Ye Chen brought up her map and marked Lu Liang’s location. Ye Chen flipped through the things in the mall and bought two stealth devices and a basic life supplies pack. Before they entered this planet, Lu Liang had sent a signal to her guards. Someone should come to save her soon. She just had to endure for this period of time. So, now she had to rescue Lu Liang too, hide in one place and wait for others to rescue her.
All her weapons were confiscated. Thus, she exchanged some more weapons before she set off.
On the other side, Lu Liang also prepared all the things he required to escape. He first feigned a stomachache to attract their attention, then swiftly cut the opponent’s throat and opened the lock with a pin.
Everything here was scoured out by the people of this planet, so the lock used was an ancient lock of many years ago. If they used a password lock……
Lu Liang likely escaped faster.
Lu Liang unlocked the door and quietly removed the window with a coat, then crawled out, and then rushed in the direction of Ye Chen.
Done with killing people and unlocking the door, he removed the drapes from the window and used it as a robe. He dashed in the direction of Ye Chen.
He did all this quickly and dexterously, and 666 was amazed and kept cheering in Lu Liang’s mind, “Master is so handsome! Master is so awesome! Master is flawless! ”
Lu Liang got a headache from her shouting. He didn’t understand, he was such a serious person, how could he have such a noisy system. He rebuked, “Shut up!”
666 felt wronged, but still shut up.
Before she shut her mouth, she couldn’t help complaining, “Master doesn’t love me.”
“I don’t love you in the first place.”
Lu Liang skimmed at the map 666 gave him. The light spot of Ye Chen was marked on the map, as well as the light spots of a group of people who had touched Ye Chen.
Lu Liang designed a route at full speed, so he could kill them straight on his way to Ye Chen.
He couldn’t fight a crowd of thousands of people alone, but in term of assassinating them one by one…,,,
He was a professional.
Lu Liang butchered those people easily all the way, almost without creating any sound. They died on their bed, completely bid farewell to the world without even seeing who killed them.
Lu Liang was attentive when he killed people. He didn’t notice that his destination had been moving all the time.……
Ye Chen was in a hurry to save Lu Liang, but she discovered that this person…..
Was moving all the time?!
He moved concisely as if he had a clear goal. Ye Chen chased after the light spot, and the scenery she saw was…
Dead body.
Dead body.
Everywhere she saw were dead bodies.
The initial shock gradually numbed to indifference. When she caught up with Lu Liang, Lu Liang just finished killing everyone. He stood not far from the place where Ye Chen was detained and glanced at the map. his brows furrowed when he located that Ye Chen was actually in a place behind him.
She escaped by herself?
Lu Liang was a little surprised— Yes, surprised.
In his heart, similar to Ye Chen who thought he must be waiting for her to save him, she must be waiting for him to save her.
Lu Liang stood there waiting for Ye Chen. When he sensed Ye Chen approaching, he pretended to look up “inadvertently” and saw Ye Chen with suppressed anger in her eyes under the cover of night.
Lu Liang raised a smile as if he didn’t notice she was angry. He called out, “Bixia.”
And when Ye Chen saw his smile, her anger evaporated. She really couldn’t get angry at him at all, could she.
She felt that this man’s set had collapsed and he really picked up the wrong script. How could he be such a rascal in this life?
But, when she recalled Lin Jianxi in her last life, she was quite soothed. Each Villain would have their own ah, unique personality in every world. She put aside the complicated emotions in her heart and wore a stoic face “Let’s go.”
“Where to go?”
When Lu Liang asked this, Ye Chen glimpsed at the map. There was an uninhabited place in the distance. That place was where the garbage gathered. It was severely polluted. In general, no one would live there. It’s just right for them to hide there.
Ye Chen merely said, “Follow me.”
Lu Liang looked at the direction where she was going and compared it to the map in his mind. He saw the place she had chosen and did not raise any objections. He obediently trailed behind her. Not far after they walked, the village behind them was in chaos. The alarm blared and a group of people chased after Ye Chen and Lu Liang. With tacit understanding, Ye Chen and Lu Liang rolled over and hid in a large box next to them.
There were some sundries in the box. This box should be a storage box put by a family at their door. Still, the box was cramped for two people. Lu Liang could easily hold Ye Chen in his arms with the distance.
Their bodies were close, Lu Liang’s body temperature was on the high side, and his breathing was also at a scorching temperature. It was sprayed on Ye Chen’s neck, causing Ye Chen to have some strange reactions.
He hugged her, and she leaned against him. She could clearly hear his heartbeat. There was no distance between them. Ye Chen then remembered the world in which she was with Shen Jingfeng many years ago, on the night of her and Shen Jingfeng’s wedding.
Shen Jingfeng’s temperature was also very high.
Like him, her heart beat faster when he hugged her.
Ye Chen remembered it, and Lu Liang also remembered it.
However, he no longer remembered what it was like to love her— He also wondered why he didn’t remember the feeling.
He had asked 666 before, and 666 told him that when everyone started the task, their past feelings would be cleansed.
He didn’t think it was a bad thing to cleanse his feelings of the past, after all, the past feelings were mixed with too many deliberate elements.
That person deliberately approached him and deliberately made him fall in love with her. Such feelings were not pure enough from the beginning.
If their affection was true, even if his feelings were cleansed, he believed that he would fall in love with her again.
If it was not, even if his feelings were cleansed, he would have no regret.
However, even without feelings, the memory remained. The inexplicable desire to monopolize her was still there.
Lu Liang held Ye Chen close to him. He could feel the temperature in the box rising rapidly, and his body inherently reacted.
Ye Chen felt his reaction and moved aside subconsciously. Lu Liang hugged her tightly and warned in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move. ”
Ye Chen froze. She really didn’t dare to move.
Waves of people flow outside. After a long time, it was finally quiet. Ye Chen observed the outside for a while, and whispered, “There should be no one else.”
Lu Liang hummed with a dumb voice, Ye Chen pushed the lid open and climbed out vigilantly.
Both of them were a little embarrassed. Ye Chen pretended not to know what happened just now, and whispered to Lu Liang, “Let’s go. ”
Lu Liang nodded. The two were about to set off when they heard a crisp sound at the end of the road, “Stop!”
They turned their heads and saw a girl with a sickle standing at the end of the road, staring at them coldly under the moonlight.
Both of them clenched their weapons secretly, but they were taken aback when the girl said, “Do you want to get out of the village safely?” ”
The girl licked the corner of her mouth, “My house is outside the village. I know a secret road. I promise to send you out and you can live with me for a while. And when both of you are saved, how about you pay me a sum of money?”
A pie fell from the sky to their laps just like that?
Both of them were a little wary of such a good thing. Lu Liang smiled, “How much do you want? ”
“Nutrient solution for two people for ten years and an advanced small spaceship.”
“The nutrient solution is acceptable,” Lu Liang narrowed his eyes, “But a spaceship? Aren’t you demanding too much[1]?”
“You were forced to land here. You must have been hunted down.”
“You were hunted down and this woman was wearing a wide-sleeved robe. It can be seen that her identity must be very noble. Plus, you are wearing a military uniform. ”
Lu Liang’s expression turned frostier the more the girl spoke. The girl continued, “A month ago, there was news of the Queen’s inspection. I have been following the news. According to the plan, the Queen should have arrived at the White Wolf Star by now, but until now, there is no news about the Queen from the White Wolf Star. So, Sir, I think my demand is not too much when you consider the situation, don’t you think so?”
“Alright.” Ye Chen didn’t want to get entangled with her anymore. She promptly said, “Lead the way.”
“Bixia is wise.”
The girl sent Lu Liang a provocative look. She walked up to the two and moved the box beside them. She pried open a sewer and motioned with her chin, “Come here.”
Ye Chen and Lu Liang glanced at each other.
Ye Chen then thought, this girl price was indeed a bit too much.
She thought that the girl would have to go through a lot of hard work to take them out!
But now was not the time to mull over it. Ye Chen and Lu Liang followed the girl forward like sewer rats. Ye Chen followed behind and whispered, “Guniang, what’s your name?”
“My name?” The girl explored the way in front without looking back at her, “My name is Ye Chen, just call me Xiao Chen.”
Ye Chen, Lu Liang, “!!!”
Lu Liang’s mind was muddled for a while. He stared at the girl with the name Ye Chen in front of him. He called out to 666, “Is there any way to determine a person with a system?”
The way he identified Ye Chen was by name. Now there were suddenly two Ye Chen, he was a bit panicked.
666 gave an unhelpful answer, “Host, just rely on your heart.”
“Get lost.”
Lu Liang glanced at Ye Chen, the girl in front of him, and then at another Ye Chen, the Queen next to him. He was in dilemma.
However, he soon noticed that Ye Chen had a lot of weapons in her hand. When they separated, Ye Chen’s weapons were confiscated, and so was his. It was just the female leader from before deemed that he was obedient enough and left some accessories for him. However, as an assassin, even his hair could be used as a weapon, let alone accessories……
Without a doubt, they would turn into weapons in his hands.
So, where did Ye Chen get these weapons? The same with him? From the System’s Mall?
“666,” Lu Liang continued, “Is your mall the same as those of other systems?”
“The same, but…” 666’s voice was small, “Master, I haven’t got an upgrade yet.”
There wasn’t much she could offer.
Lu Liang maintained his calm expression and followed the girl Ye Chen all the way out of the sewer.
Ye Chen reacted after being shocked, this person was presumably the Ye Chen who was handicapped with huge debts.
Fortunately, she didn’t get transferred to this body……
She suddenly wanted to thank 38.
The two of them followed Xiao Ye Chen to her house together. Her house was a dilapidated cave. Xiao Ye Chen was relaxed when she arrived in the cave. She threw things everywhere and welcomed, “You can sleep wherever you want. Take care of yourself, I won’t take care of you anymore. Oh right, what are your names? ”
“Lin Chen.”
“Shen Jingfeng.”
They both reported pseudonyms. Xiao Ye Chen nodded, completely unconcerned about their names. “Don’t bother me anymore. I’m going to bed.”
Xiao Ye Chen walked inside. Soon, a gentle voice sounded inside, “Xiao Chen, are you back?”
When they heard the voice, Ye Chen and Lu Liang snapped their heads in the direction.
They saw an extremely familiar man coming out from behind the curtain.
The three looked at each other and Ye Chen was the first to shout, “Ming! Hao!”
“Bixia,” Ming Hao greeted with a cold look in his eyes. He seemed to remember something. He came up to Ye Chen with his fist clenched, “I didn’t expect that you will have a day like today.”
“You… What are you going to do…”
Ye Chen was a bit scared of Ming Hao’s gaze.
Ming Hao went to Ye Chen’s side and punched the wall next to Ye Chen. A crack instantly formed in the wall. Ming Hao glared at Ye Chen fiercely, “What did you say, eh?! My Bixia?”
Before his words died out, Ming Hao was grabbed by the collar and thrown out.
The person was so familiar with him that he guessed his evasive movements. He was flung out of the cave without a chance to dodge.
Such a familiar skill……
Ming Hao, who was smashed out of the cave, was in a daze. He soon heard the familiar voice of his good brother, “Stay away from her. Next time you dare to get so close to her, I will break your hand.”
Ming Hao lay on the ground, looking up blankly. Lu Liang pressed the stealth device behind his ears, and a familiar face appeared in Ming Hao’s eyes.
“Lu Liang!”
Ming Hao was pleasantly surprised. He got up from the ground and ran toward Lu Liang, “Lu Liang, you are still alive?”
“Mn. “Lu Liang nodded, accustomed to the enthusiasm of this little koi. Ming Hao gave him a surprise hug and wanted to say something. Lu Liang then remembered what he had just said and interrupted him, “There’s more.”
“Huh?”
“She is not your Bixia.”
Ming Hao, “……”
His brother was probably poisoned by the Queen, wasn’t he.
Looking at Ming Hao’s incomprehensible expression, Lu Liang resumed, “What did you want to say just now? ”
“No…” There were countless words scolding Ye Chen that Ming Hao wanted to let out just now, all of which were choked back into his throat. His expression was bad, “It’s nothing…”
At this time, Xiao Ye Chen, who had been watching the three of them recognize each other from the side, reacted in surprise, “Ming Hao-gege, do all of you know each other?”
“Mn…” Ming Hao nodded and introduced Lu Liang, “This is my brother, Lu Liang.”
Lu Liang glanced at Ming Hao, a little disapproving of Ming Hao’s introduction. Ming Hao knew what Lu Liang meant and waved his hand, “It’s okay. It’s just us here.”
Lu Liang conceded. Ming Hao had a unique physique. If he judged a person as a good person, then that person was basically a good person. His judgment never missed.
After all, he was the Male Lead. Women were unlikely to betray him.
Ming Hao introduced two people to Xiao Ye Chen. Xiao Ye Chen stuck her tongue at Ye Chen, “So your name is also Ye Chen. Then I’ll be Xiao Ye Chen and you’ll be Da Ye Chen[2].”
“Okay.” Ye Chen smiled. Ming Hao couldn’t help but take another look at Ye Chen.
The Queen in his memory had always been cruel. Where could she be so gentle? If she were gentle, then it was either to show it to the media or to plan to kill the other.
He had become accustomed to such Ye Chen. When he didn’t sense any murderous intent from Ye Chen to Xiao Ye Chen after she said these words, he was quite astonished.
Xiao Ye Chen and Ye Chen went to chat hand in hand, leaving Ming Hao and Lu Liang outside to watch the night. Ming Hao looked at Ye Chen thoughtfully. Lu Liang gave him a faint look and reminded him, “Still looking?”
“Are you sick?”
Ming Hao groaned.
His brother was good in every aspect, just… he was too possessive of things he deemed as his.
For example, when he raised a turtle in the past, no one was allowed to feed it or touch it. Whoever touched it would not end well. As a result, once, he was temporarily sent out to work for a month. No one dared to take care of the turtle, and the turtle was starved to death.
Another example, the doll on his bed. Yes, a doll. A big man like him still had a doll.
For that doll, whoever touched it, he would kill them.
Lu Liang was very territorial, things that he liked and things he didn’t like, as long as it was his, if anyone dared to touch them, they would die.
It was also the case for the Queen this time.
However, this time, the sickness seemed to be more severe.
Ming Hao didn’t dare to guess what Ye Chen meant to Lu Liang, so he could only guess Lu Liang as someone who was sick in the mind. Now, Lu Liang was the Male Pet of the Queen. It was natural for him to be possessive of his own people.
It’s just… she was the Queen after all.
Ming Hao sighed and patted Lu Liang on the shoulder. “Don’t you know my temper? I just think she’s a little different from before so I take a closer look. Your temper really needs to be changed.”
“Change what?”
“She is the Queen, after all. It’s impossible for you to be her only man. Have you ever seen a Queen who stayed with only one man for the rest of her life? Even if there is only one husband, there are countless concubines outside…”
Lu Liang’s face became cold, and he gritted his teeth, “She dares.”
“Liang-ge,” Ming Hao sighed, a little sad, “Don’t you know our fate?”
“What’s our fate?” Lu Liang moved his gaze to Ming Hao. Ming Hao was slightly astounded. Then he heard Lu Liang resume, “I have never and will never believed that our fate is set in stone[3].”
Lu Liang, who said this, was very firm, and Ming Hao felt as if he had never known this person.
Just such a simple sentence made Ming Hao feel that there was a kind of mysterious power radiating out. He couldn’t help but want to bow down, want to surrender, and want to follow this person.
“You’re right.” Ming Hao smiled, “No fate is set in stone.”
As he said, Ming Hao remembered something. He gave Lu Liang’s shoulder a nudge, “Right, by now, you must have known how a woman tastes right? Mind sharing your experience?”
“I am now the captain of the fourth team of the third regiment of the air force.”
Lu Liang threw out an entirely different topic.
Ming Hao felt his expression slacken.
That’s the position he longed for.
He longed to go to the military school, fly a spaceship, and live and die for the country. As a result, he ran away from the Queen’s side for his dreams and chastity, hiding in this garbage star. Lu Liang dedicated himself to the Queen, how come he became the captain of the air force?!
Unrealistic. Unfair. Unjustifiable.
Seeing Ming Hao was out of words, Lu Liang felt better.
“Tell me the truth,” Ming Hao really couldn’t help it, “Did Bixia give you that position because of your face?” ”
“Scram!”
And thus, Ming Hao was thrown out again.
Ming Hao’s wailing startled Xiao Ye Chen. At this time, Ye Chen was introducing skincare essentials for Xiao Ye Chen. When the two heard this voice, Xiao Ye Chen raised her knife by reflex, “What happened?! ”
Ye Chen asked 38 to take a look outside and calmly explained, “It’s nothing, they’re playing.”
“Play?”
Xiao Ye Chen glimpsed at the situation outside and wondered, “So that can be considered as playing?”
“Mn, the people on our side often express their feelings in this way. This is a good expression of their feelings. ”
“Oh, how nice,” Xiao Ye Chen smiled.
Ye Chen felt a little cold on her neck, then Xiao Ye Chen abruptlythrew her out!
The moment Ye Chen landed on the ground, she heard little Ye Chen chirp happily, “I and Jiejie have a good relationship! ”
Ye Chen, “……”
The MMP in her mouth was stuffed back.
So it was like this to be suffocated by her own words.
The author has something to say:
[Mini Theater]
Ye Chen: “I heard that your set has collapsed. ”
Lu Liang: “What set?”
Ye Chen: “The Male God’s set.”
Lu Liang: “Who said I am a Male God? ”
Ye Chen: “They…”
Lu Liang: “They said that because they have never walked into my world.”
Ye Chen: “I see. it seems that we need an exclusive interview,《Scientific Exploration, Into Lu Liang’s world 》.”
Lu Liang：“……”
