Thank you Sarah for the coffee treat! :blobsnuggle: A chapter will be released early for each coffee treated as a thank you gift. Thank you everyone for the support and comments!


Because of Bai Ren’s spiritual issues, he and Mo Yi didn’t do much in the end, but they were able to confirm their relationship, which made Mo Yi very happy. V4Gk5P

Afterwards, he asked some questions about how Bai Ren got injured and why his memory was fragmented, but Bai Ren couldn’t provide any answers and started to get a headache. Seeing this, Mo Yi stopped asking out of concern.

Regardless of any issues his partner may have, Mo Yi would always be by his side, trying his best to help him resolve them.

While Mo Yi and Bai Ren were cuddling together peacefully, on the other side, the royal family of the Beast empire received an unexpected visitor.

Looking at the handsome man with white hair in front of him, accompanied by several others dressed in peculiar attire, wearing helmets and covering themselves tightly, the old emperor found it hard to believe that he could once again see a member of the sea tribe in his lifetime. 7vwcmp

“Are you saying you’re the prince of the sea tribe?” the old emperor asked.

The man nodded, a smile permanently etched on his face as if concealed by a mask, and bowed to the emperor.

“Yes, I am Prince Haisha of the sea tribe.”

He then gestured to the man beside him, wearing red armor with a metallic sheen and a helmet, saying, “This is General Kaga of our sea tribe. We have come to the land this time in the spirit of friendship between the sea tribe and the land-dwelling Beast tribe!”

“I see.” Whatever he might be thinking, since the other party had expressed goodwill, the old emperor naturally reciprocated with a gesture of peace.

From Haisha, he learned that the reason these sea tribe members were dressed as such was because they heavily relied on the ocean and water, and without such attire, their skin would quickly dry up on land. However, Haisha, being of royal blood within the sea tribe, was powerful and blessed by the sea god, and therefore didn’t face such troubles.

“Respected Prince, I have a question. I’m curious why the sea tribe, which hasn’t appeared on land for centuries, has chosen to come ashore now?” asked Marshal Hannover, standing beside the king. His question was direct but also raised suspicions.

If the sea tribe were originally just a legend, their appearance served as indirect proof of their existence. However, since they had chosen to hide and disappeared for so long, why would they suddenly reappear? htFKo8

“Of course, it’s because we’ve felt the call of the sea god!” Prince Haisha crossed his arms over his chest and smiled.

“Although we’ve been living peacefully in the sea, the sea god has given me a revelation that our friends on land are facing some difficult challenges and need our help.

Although we reside in the sea, it doesn’t mean we’re completely oblivious to what’s happening. The veins of the main star are depleting, am I not mistaken?”

The strength of the land-dwelling beastmen relied heavily on the supply of energy crystals, which allowed them to cultivate and advance their levels. Without this supply, it was impossible for beastmen to progress beyond level four through their own cultivation alone.

With the depletion of the veins, it meant the future of the beastmem race would grow increasingly weaker. n0rjQa

The inability to obtain energy crystal resources would hinder their level advancements, eventually leading to the decline of the Beast empire, possibly even inviting conflicts and disasters in the future.

Many high-ranking officials were aware of this situation, but it hadn’t been disclosed to the public yet to avoid panic.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

This was why the empire had been fervently exploring and prospecting for mineral resources on other planets in recent years, seeking new solutions.

But why would the sea tribe be privy to such information… s3JiLr

Seeing the grim faces around him, Haisha seemed to realize something and hastily waved his hand, saying, “No, no, no, I didn’t mean anything bad. I just wanted to say that perhaps, we sea tribe could help.

You see, the location of the veins isn’t limited to just the land; there are also veins deep in the sea. It’s just that relying on the beastmen’s technological means, it’s difficult to locate and exploit them. However, we sea tribe are willing to share this resource with you.”

Indeed, although the beastmen also have equipment capable of reaching the deep sea, it’s impossible for them to explore every inch of the ocean like the sea tribe. Even if they were to find these areas, the technological difficulties in exploitation are immense.

But then, could there really be such a thing as free lunch? Zeovkq

A gleam flashed in the old emperor’s eyes. “I wonder, what can we offer in return for your assistance?”

As a ruler of a nation, he wouldn’t believe in altruistic aid without any underlying interests involved.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Prince Haisha’s face deepened. “Well, of course, there are considerations. However, it’s not something urgent. Right now, the most important thing is the friendship between our two races.”

The reappearance of the sea tribe after so many years, sending a prince for an official visit to the land, was indeed a significant event for the entire Beast empire. Mqdcxw

Major news websites scrambled to report on it, and the buzz on the star network was intense. Photos and videos taken from a bystander’s perspective only heightened everyone’s curiosity.

While the other sea tribe members were tightly wrapped and indistinguishable, Prince Haisha, with his striking looks, became quite popular.

Many netizens jokingly expressed their desire to become his queen, and the idea of an alliance between the beastmen and the sea tribe seemed appealing.

As an officer in the military, Mo Yi, even on vacation, couldn’t simply do nothing. He needed to regularly check on the situation within the legion and naturally got firsthand information. Edi3sC

Upon seeing the photos on the star network, Mo Yi immediately found Bai Ren and showed him the pictures taken by netizens.

“Is this really the prince of your sea tribe? Why would he suddenly come to the land?” Mo Yi asked.

Bai Ren looked at the photos online and nodded. “Haisha is indeed of royal blood, the prince of the sea tribe. But in my memory, he doesn’t seem this old. He’s a few years younger than me, and I remember him as a little brat.”

Bai Ren rubbed his chin, knowing that his memory was flawed and that it wasn’t something he should delve into too deeply. ZjR1By

“As for why he came to the land, I’m not sure either. After all, I’m just a prince, still in the learning stage.”

“Do you want to contact him?” Even though his partner was currently staying on land, he was still a royal of the sea tribe and would eventually return.

It would be good to reach out to familiar sea tribe members to understand the situation and inquire about why his partner suddenly appeared on that unfamiliar small planet.

However, Bai Ren shook his head. “There’s no need for that. I don’t really like that guy; he’s always been nitpicky since we were kids. Don’t worry, we’ll go back on our own eventually. Let’s just relax and rest for a few more days.” wMQz9f

Bai Ren’s tone was relaxed, and Mo Yi felt relieved hearing his reassurance. However, he suddenly remembered the original host’s wish.

In some time, there would be a war, likely due to leaked information, resulting in the deaths of many of the original owner’s comrades. The only request for the identity swap was for Mo Yi to save his comrades.

Considering this, Mo Yi couldn’t easily leave the land because there were variables in the small world. The war might break out at any moment, and he needed to be prepared at all times.

So, he could only apologize slightly to Bai Ren and said, “Can we leave a little later? There are things I need to take care of here.” U78Xw6

“You don’t  want to leave with me?” Bai Ren stood up, looking at Mo Yi with a somewhat serious expression.

“No, it’s not that, of course not. It’s just that there are things I need to handle,” Mo Yi said, walking over to his partner and gently kissing his cheek to soothe him.

“It’s hard to explain, but can you give me some more time?”

Feeling the softness of his cheek, Bai Ren hugged Mo Yi and kissed him deeply. Sensing his partner’s compliance, Bai Ren’s expression softened. hQot8x

Foreheads pressed together, Bai Ren’s large hand cupped the back of Mo Yi’s head, peppering his lips with kisses, and softly said, “Then I’ll give you more time, but whatever happens, you must tell me, okay? You’re my future queen, after all.”

“Mmm, uh…” Before Mo Yi could respond, his words were swallowed by Bai Ren’s kiss.

Enduring his partner’s endless passion, Mo Yi received a message from the legion commander in the afternoon and could only leave with swollen lips.

Standing at the door, watching Bai Ren, who seemed entirely unwilling to let him go and wore a displeased expression, Mo Yi licked his lip, wincing at the pain. xndAo7

Looking at Bai Ren with a hint of grievance, Mo Yi said, “Why did you bite me?”

Even though he was the dog here, he hadn’t bitten anyone!

But all Bai Ren could think about was Mo Yi’s lip-licking motion just now, especially with his partner standing before him in black military uniform and boots, highlighting his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long, slender legs, making him irresistibly charming.

Bai Ren’s gaze darkened a bit more, and he pulled Mo Yi close, muttering, “I must have been too stingy with kisses. I haven’t practiced enough.” 7kul2

After saying that, he kissed Mo Yi fiercely again before letting go.

Mo Yi, feeling dazed from the kisses, could only leave with even more swollen lips, heading towards the direction of the First Legion’s office.

The accommodation was arranged nearby, so within just a few minutes, Mo Yi arrived at the legion commander’s office.

However, he hadn’t expected to see the sea tribe prince Haisha, who was currently so popular on the internet, there. N4DZiR

His long white hair did remind Mo Yi of his partner, but in terms of demeanor, Haisha was completely different from Bai Ren. That smile, Mo Yi couldn’t help but feel it was insincere.

What surprised Mo Yi even more was that standing beside Haisha was none other than Luo Naimei, who was rumored to have been disfigured and hadn’t been seen for a long time.

What was eerie was that 006 had told Mo Yi before that even if Luo Naimei returned to the main star, his facial injuries couldn’t have fully healed. But now, his injuries were completely gone, as if he had never been injured at all!

Mo Yi was certain that 006 couldn’t deceive him. KnPLOW

So, could it be that Luo Naimei had done something again to prompt the unauthorized system to provide more energy to help him repair his face?

  1. …Hannover is a city in Germany. A breed of horse was named after it, and there’s also a noble family. As surname? Sure. As given name? Ha! 😂

    Thank you for the chapter!

  2. Uh oh! This prince is definitely not a bringer of good news, especially with the fox by his side.

    Thank you for the update!!~
