Jun Lu looked at the blue crystal on the palm of his hand, his blood red pupils surging with longing and sadness.
This method…was taught to him by his Royal Mother.
After soaking resin in water, its crystallised body can be stored for a thousand years. Things that have been wrapped inside can also last a thousand year without decay.
By preserving it with this method, the candy will most likely last forever ba…
Jun Lu thought.
Yu Xingqiao could not see through the little guy’s thoughts, nor did he understand why he wanted to make the candy into a crystal, but through his expression, he still felt his sadness.
It was a type of silent sorrow.
It was clear that there were no words, no tears, but he could just feel the melancholy that enveloped the cub as if it was tangible.
Is he missing his family?
Once he thought of the cub being all alone by himself, facing all kinds of dangers every day, Yu Xingqiao felt his nose a little sour.
Wu wu, the poor cub is so pitiful, I really want to hug him so much ah.
Yu Xingqiao had not had feelings for a 2D character for a long time. He stretched out his fingers, and patted the head of the boy who was looking down.
“It’s okay. In the future you still have me, don’t worry, I will take good care of you.”
He spoke softly, as if he was facing a real person.
Jun Lu soon felt a familiar caress.
He knew, his master had arrived.
It seemed that every time he was depressed, his master would promptly show up. And afterwards, he would gently pat the top of his head as if to comfort him…
No wonder he would be attached.
He didn’t even know the master’s appearance and gender yet he had become dependent on him…
Jun Lu suppressed his expression and did not allow himself to show his vulnerable side.
He was the prince of the Empire, the future Crown Prince of the Illustris Empire. Even if he was in a predicament, he cannot be immersed in grief like the weak.
He wanted to regain his strength and get revenge as soon as possible. Then, he would become his master’s right-hand man. No matter what Master wanted him to do, he wouldn’t have the slightest refusal.
If it was the original him, he would have treated his contract with Yu Xingqiao as a deal. However, presently, there were already a few differences.
Jun Lu lowered his head slightly and looked at the candy crystal on his palm.
No matter what purpose the master had for him, he would never forget this kindness in his life.
It was just that…did the master watch the whole process? His back was slightly stiff, but gradually relaxed again.
Then so be it ba, it was not as if he did anything in particular.

Originally, there was a pendant on the chain, but it was no longer present, leaving only a bare silver chain which looked very ordinary.
However, seeing that it appeared out of thin air, Yu Xingqiao knew that this silver chain was definitely not an ordinary item.
He couldn’t resist clicking detect.
[This detection costs 1 diamond, do you want to pay?]
Yu Xingqiao raised his eyebrows slightly. The previous detection only required 10 gold coins, but now they are changed to diamonds?
Although 1 diamond can be exchanged for 10 gold coins, the value of the two is different. After all, gold coins can be obtained through missions but diamonds can only be recharged.
Yu Xingqiao confirmed the payment.
[Unknown Chain]
Description: The remnants of a Guardian Necklace (the Guardian Necklace can withstand a fatal blow for the wearer. After the pendant is broken, only the chain remains.)
Function: Can be hidden after worn. Can be used as material for some legendary equipment, or for decoration.
Wearer: Jun Lu
Guardian necklace? Can withstand a fatal blow?
Reading the detected information, Yu Xingqiao thought about the injuries his cub sustained and could almost guess how the pendant of this necklace went missing.
But for decoration?
The necklace would disappear after being worn, so how can it be used as an ornament? Yu Xingqiao ridiculed inwardly and continued to watch the cub’s movement.
Jun Li took off the silver necklace from his neck. After unclasping it, he placed one end of the chain on the crystal candy.
And a magical scene happened just like that.
The silver necklace gleamed slightly. Then, it started to move by itself as if it had its own consciousness.
It became a little snake, twisting its body.
Yu Xingqiao zoomed in and could even see the head of the silver snake, hissing silently.
The little silver snake moved slowly along the lines of the crystal candy. Finally, it wrapped the whole bead tightly.
The silver light became brighter.
Afterwards, the light slowly diminished.
When all the light faded, the silver chain lost its vitality again. The entire “chain ball” fell onto Jun Lu’s palm.
Yu Xingqiao zoomed in curiously.
Not sure if it was just his imagination, he felt that this “chain ball” seemed to have become bigger.
Jun Lu stretched out his hand and untied the chain.
After the chain fell apart, a small bead inside of it was exposed. To Yu Xingqiao’s surprise, the bead was no longer a crystal candy but had turned into a silver hollow carved ball.
The lines on the ball look very exquisite, like a work of art.
A soft “click” rang out.
When Jun Lu pinched it, the hollow ball splits into two halves from the middle, revealing the innermost crystal candy.
The crystal candy is protected by the hollow ball, the size of the two halves was just right, like it was tailor-made from the beginning, shining under the moonlight.
Jun Lu’s eyes softened a little.
After confirming that it was flawless, he buckled the small hollow silver ball back together again and thread the silver chain through the ball. He then hung it back around his neck and gingerly tucked it back into his clothes.
Yu Xingqiao looking at this scene felt very strange.
This…why did his cub care so much about this candy?
Yu Xingqiao held his cheeks in his hands, with his glass-like eyes, he stared at the phone screen without blinking.
Could it be because this candy was a gift from him?
No, it should be because he was cherishing the first candy he had ever received. That was why his cub came up with this method to preserve the candy, right?
He still remembered when the little rascal saw a candy for the first time, he asked what it was with lots of suspicion.
That’s right, it should be because of this!
Don’t be fooled by the fact that his cub always looked aloof, actually, his heart is very delicate. The things he does often make his heart overflow with fatherly love.
Wuwu, this dog planning was really comprehensive!
How did they design such a cool and well-behaved cub that makes you blush quickly due to its meng? It really motivated people to keep on playing.
Yu Xingqiao remembered the analysis his brother had done for him again.
The reason why his cub blackened yesterday was probably not because he hated Laura but because Yu Xingqiao did not explain clearly, causing his cub to mistakenly think that he gave his beloved bottle to the newcomer.
Although his brother’s analysis didn’t really fit the general logic of the game. However, he inexplicably felt that it was very reasonable.
Yu Xingqiao felt distressed when he thought about how his cub had to endure his sadness of giving his beloved bottle to Laura.
His cub was so sensible.
Having experienced so many things at such a young age, being so brave and strong yet still remaining kind, how could there be such a good cub in the world?
He must protect the cub so that he can grow up healthy and happily!
At this moment, Yu Xingqiao’s father filter was so thick that he completely forgot how harsh and merciless Jun Lu was when he killed magical beasts.
Even if he remembered, he would think that the magical beast took the initiative to attack, as if they were asking to be killed.
Yu Xingqiao glanced at the sky, it was still late at night in the game and the moon was hanging high in the night sky.
He opened the command editor and was about to ask his cub to go to bed.
Although the health and mana bars have returned to full and the status bar did not have any negative buffs such as fatigue, the injuries on the cub were not completely healed. Moreover, he wouldn’t grow taller if he didn’t sleep at night!
“Sleep ba.”
A line of small golden letters appeared in front of him.
Jun Lu inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. The master didn’t notice his thoughts. Or maybe even if he found out, he wouldn’t care.
“Okay, Master.”
The little boy responded softly.
Probably because his nutrition was catching up, his body gradually recovered. Without the previous hoarseness in his voice, a soft milk voice played from the speaker, immediately causing Yu Xingqiao to feel very meng.
He really wanted to hug his cub even if it was through the protective clothing ah.
The young man put his cheeks in his hands, looking at the 2D cub in the game he couldn’t help but imagine.
Even though he knew, this kind of fantasy was very unrealistic. After all, he was still sick and the cub was just a game character.
After Jun Lu responded, he was about to take out the cradle from his shadow cage. However, subsequently, his whole body suddenly froze——
He couldn’t move.
Jun Lu’s pupils shrank for a moment, he tried to take a step forward but suddenly a flash appeared before his eyes—— his body fell to one side.
He couldn’t move so he could only…
Constantly suck the pacifier.
The author has something to say

Jun Lu is so meng! How can a cub so meng be attacked? Must protect! 😤
I really love the relationship building here, innocent as it is right now, because the idea of this ML falling for his master knowing nothing about them is actually pretty deep. Loving the person, not how they look. <3
Thanks for your hard work translating!
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
I love how the MC’s given name means StarBridge <3 <– I don’t know Chinese so I am unsure it’s reverse like Bridge to the Stars or something? I translated Jun Lu as Military Road.? All our names have meaning but it’s fun to see these. Thank you for the wonderful translation, it’s a really good story.
