After Mo Yi finished speaking, he didn’t bother to stick around and simply left the room, only to find Bai Ren standing at the doorway, arms crossed. PFNks7

“Just laxatives?” Bai Ren’s tone carried dissatisfaction. He had been eyeing this guy named Luo Naimei for a while now. Just a stomachache wouldn’t cut it.

Hearing this, Mo Yi blinked. “Indeed, it’s just laxatives, but… kind of different, hehe.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Mo Yi chuckled mischievously as Bai Ren tilted his head. Suddenly, there was a clinking sound from inside, accompanied by thick, foul-smelling fumes seeping out in a faint, translucent haze.

Seeing this, Mo Yi quickly grabbed Bai Ren’s hand and ran, not wanting to be caught in the solidifying stench. G98Dnf

While running, he explained, “The military occasionally develops some odd things. This one is a failed experiment, utilizing some traits of a skunk-type beastman.

As you know, skunks have glands near their tails containing highly irritating fluid. Spraying it can cause blindness and temporary paralysis, even save lives in dire situations.

The researchers had similar hopes, thinking of it as a getaway tool. But none of the powerful attributes manifested. It just emits a huge stink and noise, and it gives you diarrhea for at least three days uncontrollably.

That Luo Naimei always wants attention, right? With so many reporters here, this time, he’ll surely make a stink in the news!”

Seeing Mo Yi’s mischievous smile, Bai Ren found it adorable. They had run far enough, but they still heard the complaints and cursing from the people near the banquet hall.

For the sake of his nose, Mo Yi decided he’d just watch the news about this smelly incident on the Star Network later, feeling no guilt as he left the banquet hall with Bai Ren.

However, when they left and found the car they had arrived in, they noticed someone had been waiting there for quite some time.

“Uncle Crab,” Bai Ren spoke first. 31biGS

The figure across, arms crossed over his chest, bowed to Bai Ren and said, “Your Highness, I finally found you!”

Bai Ren nodded and directly invited the person into the car. They drove to a secluded spot before stopping.

Because Mo Yi’s residence was in the military district, they decided not to bring Kajia inside to avoid attracting attention from others. So, they opted to have the conversation directly in the car.

“Vb, sbe wfjc ab rjs P’nf yffc lctfglalcu atf atgbcf obg j ibcu alwf?” Djl Efc jrxfv. yYHBvm

Bjplj cbvvfv lc gfrqbcrf, “Tbeg Llutcfrr, sbe lctfglafv atf atgbcf bnfg j tecvgfv jcv rlzas sfjgr jub. Lbkfnfg, rtbgais joafg jrmfcvlcu, sbe ofii lcab j riewyfg joafg gfrbinlcu atf mglrlr klat atf rfj aglyf.”

As he spoke, Kajia glanced towards Mo Yi, appearing hesitant to continue.

However, Bai Ren, right in front of Kajia, held Mo Yi’s hand and said, “This is Mo Yi, my future partner. You can speak freely in front of him; there’s no need to hide anything.”

“Your Highness, but he’s a land-dwelling beastman!” Disapproval filled Kajia’s gaze. Although he had noticed Bai Ren and Mo Yi’s intimacy at the banquet, hearing it directly from Bai Ren was different. 3Ikf6J

What exactly did ‘partner’ mean, especially for their kind of royal figure, seeking a land-dwelling beastman as a companion? The sentiment “different species, different hearts” wasn’t exclusive to any particular race; even Kajia, as a sea tribe general, was not an exception to this notion.

Of course, Bai Ren could sense Kajia’s thoughts, but his gaze grew firmer.

“If it weren’t for Mo Yi, I might have been on some unfamiliar planet by now. He took care of me even when he didn’t know my identity. I don’t want anyone to have any objections about him. Treat him as you would treat me!”

Bai Ren’s tone was resolute, and Kajia could discern his seriousness. Since Bai Ren had already made his decision, Kajia refrained from voicing any further objections. WRLrvb

After nodding, Kajia proceeded to brief Bai Ren on the part of his memory loss and the current state of affairs within the sea tribe.

“Your Highness, Lord Haisha is not to be trusted. Before you fell into slumber, you had entrusted matters to Prince Luobo. However, Prince Luobo passed away three years ago due to old age. Haisha has been scheming for power ever since, but fortunately, you have many supporters.”

“As your appointed general, I still have some say, especially with the presence of the Sea Temple. The temple is also on your side. Half a year ago, the High Priest said that the blessings of the sea god were imminent, hinting at your imminent awakening. But shortly after the news spread, you disappeared. I suspect this matter is related to Prince Haisha. The High Priest insisted that I accompany Haisha to the land to find you!”

According to Kajia, this Haisha seemed highly suspicious. However, Bai Ren couldn’t recall the previous crisis or his slumber, having lost too many memories. It seemed strange to end up on a small planet. Moreover, Bai Ren felt something amiss himself; his strength hadn’t fully recovered, as if something was obstructing the flow of energy and mental prowess in his body. Qbzsyv

“Do you want me to take care of this Haisha?” Mo Yi suddenly interjected, his expression cold and fierce.

If previously he could overlook Haisha’s nuisance due to the issues between the two races, now, with the possibility of him threatening his partner’s safety, he had to be eliminated!

On the sidelines, Kajia felt somewhat speechless at Mo Yi’s words. He really wanted to scoff and ask if Mo Yi had the ability to take down Haisha, a member of the royal family of the sea tribe.

Before he could voice his thoughts, Bai Ren earnestly took Mo Yi’s hand and kissed the back of it, soothingly saying, “No need. Leave Haisha to me. I can handle internal matters within the royal sea tribe family myself. You don’t have to worry about me.” SQju 1

“Okay,” Mo Yi nodded in agreement. If his partner said he could handle it, then it was fine. He trusted Bai Ren completely.

In the cramped space of the car, the atmosphere between the two lovers was overwhelmingly affectionate. Meanwhile, Kajia, the third wheel, found himself at a loss for words, watching Bai Ren, whom he had never seen like this before, struggle to articulate his thoughts.

After all, in his memory, the king was somewhat aloof when he was young and remained decisive and resolute in handling matters, without much idle chatter.

But now, seeing him completely enchanted by Mo Yi, Kajia couldn’t help but wonder how he hadn’t noticed before that their king was a hopeless romantic! 3iXnL

However, now that they had found Bai Ren and he assured them he could handle Haisha, Kajia decided to immediately inform the priests who had come with them to find the Sea Temple. They needed to share this good news and stabilize the restless factions within the sea tribe that were leaning towards Haisha.

As for himself, Kajia knew he had to stay behind to protect the king’s safety!

So after parting ways with Kajia and returning home with Bai Ren, not long after, when the two went out for a stroll at night, they felt someone lurking suspiciously near their house.

When they confronted the person, it turned out to be the guards that Kajia had deliberately brought along. They seemed capable, managing to sneak into the military district undetected, although the area they resided in wasn’t heavily guarded. XThm6f

Seeing the stubborn guards, Mo Yi and Bai Ren had no choice but to let them stay discreetly nearby.

That night, as Mo Yi and Bai Ren surfed the internet together, they saw that Luo Naimei had indeed become a ‘celebrity’ on the Star Network.

While chatting and enjoying their dinner, just as they were immersed in their own world, Mo Yi’s communicator suddenly rang.

Upon opening it, they heard the solemn voice of the legion commander. It turned out that traces of the insect race had been discovered near the small planet Mo Yi had previously explored, and their target seemed to be the mineral veins there. 2z58cP

Not only beastmen and sea tribes, but the insect race, known for their aggression, could also benefit from the energy crystals found in those veins to enhance their strength and evolution.

Mo Yi immediately understood the commander’s meaning, especially considering that many of his comrades, including Benedict, had already been stationed there. If they encountered a large number of insectoids, there would undoubtedly be a fierce battle.

Moreover, upon careful consideration, the location of this battle seemed to match the information left by the previous host.

The war was coming, sooner than expected! Pey9Ek

In order to protect the safety of his comrades, Mo Yi immediately put on his military uniform and prepared to depart. However, when he reached the door, Bai Ren grabbed his hand.

“Bai Ren, I have to go!”

Mo Yi urgently spoke to his partner, then saw the man shaking the luggage in his hand. “I know, I’m going with you.”

Mo Yi opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, wanting to say that Bai Ren wasn’t a soldier, and shouldn’t go with him. Y1Ofbj

But he was his partner. If it were Bai Ren going into battle, Mo Yi would definitely insist on going along no matter what.

He didn’t want to force Bai Ren to stay behind for reasons like “it’s for your own good.” He believed he was strong enough to protect his partner. They should fight side by side!

With this in mind, Mo Yi nodded earnestly, avoiding the sea tribe outside, and boarded the departing starship with Bai Ren.

To avoid drawing attention, Bai Ren initially remained in his original beast form. vEJCdD

Once they rendezvoused with the main force, Mo Yi arranged an identity for Bai Ren, allowing him to stay by his side in human form. As for whether others would have objections to Bai Ren or pick faults with him, it was almost non-existent.

Because the onset of the war was too sudden, and the biggest difference from the previous situation with the original host was that this time, Mo Yi was the commanding officer.

After experiencing so many worlds, Mo Yi wasn’t just about overwhelming brute force anymore.

As it turned out, as long as one lived long enough, various skills, even if they grew passively at a slow pace, would accumulate to a certain height. Just like the current Mo Yi, who could calmly and independently devise battle plans. gNHCmW

However, the number of troops dispatched by the insect race was unusually large, with their forces even splitting into several groups.

Mo Yi was well aware of Bai Ren’s strength. So in order to save more people and achieve ultimate victory, he had to act separately from Bai Ren.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Under their leadership, the beast warriors fought exceptionally well. Just as Mo Yi’s side achieved victory on the battlefield and he was about to rush to meet his partner, Zhuang Lute approached him.

Zhuang Lute, who had once pursued Luo Naimei, was someone Mo Yi remembered well. Seeing Zhuang Lute’s dull and listless expression, completely different from his usual self, Mo Yi furrowed his brow and asked, “What do you want? Just say it.” n2yfdO

Before Mo Yi could finish speaking, Zhuang Lute opened his palm, revealing a disk from which a colorful beam shot out, instantly sucking Mo Yi in.
