Thank you Sarah for the coffee treat! :blobsnuggle: This is the last extra chapters for the day. Thank you everyone for the support and comments!


Mo Yi decided to wait and see what would unfold. Then he heard Luo Naimei beside him speak to Prince Haisha, “Your Highness, this is Major General Mo. He’s the most suitable person to accompany you on a tour of the military headquarters.” z6cq3I

“Hmm?” Mo Yi raised an eyebrow at the mention.

But Prince Haisha spoke first, “Major General Mo, nice to meet you. I met Mr. Luo unexpectedly on the way, and we got along well. When I mentioned wanting to visit the military headquarters, he recommended you, saying you are very gentle and excellent. He assured me that with you guiding me, I’ll feel right at home, having a wonderful experience.”

Hearing that Luo Naimei had recommended him, Mo Yi didn’t say anything, just turned to look at the legion commander beside him.

The legion commander gave Mo Yi a meaningful look and said, “Major General Mo is indeed outstanding. In that case, I’ll leave it to you.” j83Bey

Seeing the eager expression on Haisha’s face, Mo Yi really wanted to smack him on the back of the head just like Luo Naimei. Damn it, he should have beaten Luo Naimei to the point of being incapacitated, so he wouldn’t be causing trouble now.

Even if there were no conspiracy, Mo Yi could have spent that time with his partner instead. Who wanted to waste their life accompanying this sea tribe prince.

But considering the friendship between the two races, Mo Yi reluctantly agreed. He had no choice; after experiencing so many worlds, he had matured.

With the identity he assumed, he had to bear the corresponding responsibilities. He endured it and also wanted to see what scheme Luo Naimei was up to.

U NfK1

The military headquarters was not a secretive place; leaders were allowed to visit during diplomatic relations as a display of strength.

Of course, some areas were accessible, while others were off-limits, which was a customary arrangement.

Mo Yi boredly led Haisha around the military headquarters, showing him the buildings and recounting some familiar historical stories from the original host’s memories.

He kept his voice as flat as possible and his expression as impassive as he could, holding on tightly to the words “forced to work.” ScGKmJ

But even so, Haisha’s smile remained unchanged. He would exclaim in awe at certain buildings that Mo Yi found unremarkable and showered endless praises.

This prince really knows how to flatter, Mo Yi thought. He feared that if he didn’t say anything, Haisha could entertain himself with a monologue, especially with Luo Naimei as his sidekick, ensuring there would always be a response to whatever he said.

“My dear Mo Yi, thank you for taking me on this tour of the military headquarters. I’ve had a delightful time with you.”

As they neared the end of the tour, standing at the entrance of the military headquarters, Haisha smiled and looked at Mo Yi. 3tnVla

What you think is just what you think, Mo Yi silently retorted. But for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two races, he gave a very official response. “It was an honor to make your afternoon enjoyable. I won’t disturb you any longer. I hope you have a pleasant stay in the Beast Empire.”

Mo Yi delivered his concluding remarks like reciting a script and wanted to leave quickly. However, Prince Haisha unexpectedly stepped forward, blocking Mo Yi’s path.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“As a token of my gratitude, may I invite you to dinner, Mo Yi?” Haisha asked, his eyes showing both reluctance to part and fondness when he looked at Mo Yi.

Feeling uncomfortable under Haisha’s gaze, Mo Yi felt even more inclined to leave. yWdaCL

“No, thank you. It’s unnecessary. It’s my duty. I have some matters to attend to at home, so I’ll take my leave. I’m sure having Mr. Luo accompanying you is also a good choice.”

Mo Yi stepped back, pushing Haisha towards Luo Naimei. Since Luo Naimei seemed to admire Prince Haisha so much, Mo Yi thought he might as well leave them to it.

Both of them made him feel uncomfortable, and he didn’t want to deal with the awkwardness of their interactions.

After saying his piece, Mo Yi didn’t wait for a response. He simply performed a military salute and turned to leave. hmzv1g

This time, Haisha didn’t stop him. He just reached out and patted Mo Yi’s shoulder.

Mo Yi didn’t appreciate such friendly gestures from someone he wasn’t close to, but it fell within the realm of etiquette. After the exchange, Mo Yi turned and left without looking back.

As Haisha watched Mo Yi’s departing figure, his previously gentle smile transformed.

The man curled his lips, his eyes filled with interest as he stared at Mo Yi. There was none of the earlier gentleness in his demeanor. GkRvXj

His gaze remained fixed on Mo Yi as he spoke to Luo Naimei beside him, “You were right. He does indeed carry the aura of Bai Ren. Is this the might of a king? He truly is strong. Even after doubling the dosage, we couldn’t kill him. He managed to escape and ended up here.”

“The Bai Ren you mentioned is the royal family member of the sea tribe who is with Mo Yi? When you say king, he is the emperor of your sea tribe?”

Luo Naimei was astonished and couldn’t help but ask Haisha, the prince of the sea tribe.

But then, he was shocked by an electric shock from the system in his sea of consciousness. He couldn’t help but convulse and had to hold onto a nearby tree to avoid falling to the ground. KhXIt6

Unable to control the grimace on his face, Luo Naimei kept his head down, knowing he couldn’t expose his emotions and attract the attention of passersby. He couldn’t even cry out in pain and could only use all his strength to restrain himself, but still couldn’t stop trembling slightly.

Haisha seemed satisfied with Luo Naimei’s reaction and stopped the system with a benevolent gesture.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. You need to understand, you’re just a tool for the sub-system. And you’re really useless. You’ve ended up like this, even your face is ruined. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be standing here like this. So, just obediently follow my orders, understand?”

Luo Naimei immediately nodded vigorously, not daring to say another word. p8XdlL

After warning Luo Naimei, Haisha turned and walked towards the location of his own starship, muttering to himself in a low voice as he walked:

“However, that guy Bai Ren really has good taste. Mo Yi, hmm, not bad at all. I wonder what the king’s reaction will be when he sees Mo Yi again and senses the message I left behind…”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Once Haisha was out of sight, Luo Naimei dared to lift his head, revealing the resentment in his eyes. Thinking of what Haisha had just said about Mo Yi, he couldn’t help but feel intense jealousy.

Why did Mo Yi, who hadn’t put in nearly as much effort, not only avoid ruining his face but also gain so much? HMveOr

Even the system he had relied on like a treasure was deceiving him. It turned out to be just a sub-system, and the control was in the hands of that sea tribe prince named Haisha.

He appears, and Luo Naimei can only obey his commands, or else Luo Naimei faces the punishment of electric shocks.

Meanwhile, Mo Yi, after gaining the favor of that sea tribe royal, returned and became a major general. Now, even Haisha has shown interest in him.

However, no matter how much Luo Naimei resents this, he can only endure it and pray for a chance to turn the tables and take control. 1ScFHl

Mo Yi completely ignores the thoughts of these insignificant people. On his way back, he casually inquired about Luo Naimei’s situation with the system in his sea of consciousness.

006 scanned Luo Naimei thoroughly and concluded that he seemed to be even more deeply bound to the unauthorized system.

Now, removing that unauthorized system would be even more difficult.

Mo Yi wasn’t surprised by this news. Estimating that it was getting late, he went to the military cafeteria and packed two servings of grilled fish that Bai Ren liked. qb1iDd

The food at the military cafeteria has always been good, especially the grilled fish, which is large and comes in many flavors to choose from. Mo Yi held the package and couldn’t help but salivate at the aroma wafting from it.

“This smells amazing!”

He smiled at the uncle selling grilled fish in the cafeteria, looking forward to enjoying the meal with his partner later, feeling very happy.

Worried that the food would cool down, Mo Yi walked quickly. But when he reached the door, it opened before he could knock. Tm1SyX

“You’re finally back!” Bai Ren exclaimed as he saw Mo Yi return, his face inadvertently showing a touch of grievance.

Mo Yi felt dazzled by the radiant beauty of his partner and quickly handed over the grilled fish he had brought. He smiled apologetically and said, “Sorry for coming back late today. I went out to buy grilled fish for you specially and chose the flavor you like. Please forgive me!

But you opened the door so quickly. Could it be that you’ve been waiting at the door for me to come back?”

Mo Yi joked, but to his surprise, Bai Ren’s face flushed slightly at his words. utqFlO

“I, I wasn’t waiting at the door the whole time.”

As if being caught red-handed, Bai Ren looked somewhat embarrassed.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

But it wasn’t entirely his fault. He simply missed Mo Yi and didn’t want to be apart from him.

He let out a forced chuckle and reached out to take the grilled fish from Mo Yi. D1tYQi

However, as he placed the grilled fish on the table and turned to face Mo Yi, a distinct scent, concealed beneath the rich aroma of the food and discernible only to those of the sea tribe, emanated from him.

In an instant, Bai Ren’s demeanor changed, and he grabbed Mo Yi’s arm, asking, “Did you see Haisha today?”

Mo Yi, puzzled by the intense expression on Bai Ren’s face, nodded slightly. “The Commander asked me to show him around the military department today. Is something wrong?”

After speaking, the man opposite didn’t respond, instead carefully sniffing around Mo Yi’s body. k5fvq4

Reaching his shoulder, Bai Ren transformed his arm into a tentacle, sweeping over it before finally stopping.

Now, Bai Ren’s expression looked somewhat relieved, but he still held onto Mo Yi’s arm, leaving Mo Yi completely bewildered.

“What’s going on?” Mo Yi asked again.

With a tight-lipped expression, Bai Ren reluctantly replied, “It’s nothing, just some fool trying to provoke me.” IvwcW
