444What should we do, what should we do? Are they going to fight? QAQ

Xie HeBaby, isnt it normal for the Empire and Federation to fight? Why are you making a big fuss over such a little thing? Smile.JPG

444Yi, you were clearly also surprised, ah. QAQ

Xie HeI was pretending. Couldnt you tell? Silly child.

444

Xie HeCecil is not an impulsive or naive person. He must have planned things thoroughly with Sawyer before making this call. The only thing Im surprised about is that Lance is actually going to the battlefield himself. This saves me some work. If he didnt go, I would have had to come up with a way to provoke him into going. Smile.JPG

444How would you have provoked him? @[email protected]

Xie HeI would have given him a peek of the deep friends.h.i.+p between Cecil and me. He would certainly have become jealous. ?

444

444Hey, why do you want him to go, ne? _(:)_

Xie HeOnly in a life-or-death situation will he realize the feelings he has towards me. After all, hes an extremely slow person when it comes to emotions. Theres no helping it. I can only work a little harder. ?

444

Xie He saw Sawyer once more on the day they were heading out.

Sawyer stood at the entrance of the stars.h.i.+p, clad in the Empires uniform. He smiled at Lance, Your Highness Lance, the Beilin Planetary System has already been lost to the enemy. It seems that the Federation sent practically their entire force. Must you brave such a danger?

As a member of the Empires Royal Family, it is my duty to exterminate the Federation. Moreover what threat does that rag-tag mob pose to me? Lance smiled blandly, And you? Why must you come? It couldnt be that you dont trust in my abilities?

Of course not! Sawyer said immediately, Its just that I am more familiar with the northern district. I hope that I can help Your Highness a bit.

Lance gave him a cold glance. I hope that you remember your words today. Be a good a.s.sistant.

Sawyer smiled and said, Please rest a.s.sured. I am in your hands, Your Highness.

Lance did not reply. He walked in first.

His actions were rather impolite, but Sawyer did not mind. He smiled while watching Lance leave.

Xie He followed after Lance. When he pa.s.sed by Sawyer, he remained expressionless, as if they werent acquainted. He followed Lance to his room and suddenly stopped walking.

No one told him where his room was. Actually, he knew that it would be impossible for him to have his own room. Although he had been given Empire citizens.h.i.+p, he was still basically Lances slave.

However, he didnt want to stay here. It made him recall the time when he had just been captured. It was also within this stars.h.i.+p that he had suffered such humiliation and torment.

Get in. Lance turned his head around and gave Xie He a look. His golden eyes darkened.

Xie He didnt move.

The corner of Lances lips quirked up. He pulled Xie He in and pressed him against the wall, biting his neck. He let out a low laugh, Hm? Youre still not used to me? Werent you much more obedient as of late? Just stay like that actually, obeying me isnt too hard to bear, is it?

Xie He moaned. There was a look of silent forbearance of humiliation in his eyes. Isnt there other things you have to do?

They had just boarded the s.h.i.+p, and Lance was already being like this to him! It was broad daylight!

Lance laughed. He gazed at Xie Hes handsome face. That upright-looking face was flushed with shame and resentment. His dark blue eyes held a look of silent forbearance. He looked extremely seductive how would he not like him?

Theres nothing more important than you. Lance kissed those pink lips, lightly nipping at them with his teeth.

Xie He felt a sharp pain at his lips. They had probably been bitten open. Soon after, Lance wrapped his arms around his waist and threw him on the bed. He pulled out a pair of handcuffs and bound his hands. Xie Hes expression changed slightly. Recently, it had been rare for Lance to treat him so roughly. Why was he like this today?

Lance looked down on the person beneath him. There was a faint smile in his eyes.

Did he think that he could trick him like this? Unfortunately, his acting skills were so bad. From the beginning, there was no obedience in those eyes. There was only dedication, as beautiful as ever. However, Xie He was willing to pretend to be obedient, so Lance decided that he would play along.

So long as you are mine so long as you are by my side it doesnt matter if its real or fake.

In the beginning, Xie He could still grit his teeth and prevent any sounds from coming out. Later on, however, he lost his rationality and there were low moans escaping his lips. By the end, he could only lay on the bed limply.

Lance pulled him against his chest, an extremely serene expression in his eyes.

He pinched Xie Hes chin and forced him to meet his eyes directly. His voice was low, Shy? I obviously embrace you every day, and theres not an inch of your body that I havent seen before. What is there to be shy about?

Shut up! There was endless shame and indignation in Xie Hes eyes.

You told me to shut up. It cant be that youre ordering me around now? Lances eyes suddenly became icy and dark. With a frosty tone, he said, A disobedient slave should be punished.

A sneer flashed through Xie Hes eyes. He closed his eyes and waited for his punishment.

Lance watched him close his eyes. The ice on his face thawed like snow at springs arrival. There was a faint smile in his eyes. He found that he liked to tease this man more and more. Regardless of if it was his indignant expression or his furious expression, he liked to see all of it.

Xie He closed his eyes and waited for a long time.

However, Lance didnt do anything. He opened his eyes, a questioning look in his eyes. He found Lance staring at him with a smile in his eyes. There was no coldness left on his face. Lance kissed him, beaming. Xie He could see his own face reflected in those gold eyes that had suddenly come in close. It looked like there was affection in those glistening eyes.

Xie He was dumbfounded. His mind stopped working for a moment.

Lance narrowed his eyes slightly. He took advantage of Xie Hes absentmindedness to attack. He kissed him until he was breathless before letting him go. He then said leisurely, If theres a next time, the punishment wont be so simple.

He caressed the person beneath him tenderly. He must have frightened Xie He just now, ba?

Xie He was an unparalleled treasure in the universe that he found with much difficulty.

So long as he was obedient, Lance did not mind giving him his doting affection.

Right at that moment, a communications request came from the door. Lance opened up his communications device. Sawyers deep voice came through, Your Highness Lance, do you have some time right now? We are about to hold a meeting regarding what to do next in terms of tactics and deployment.

Wait a bit, Lance replied. He then terminated the call.

He looked at Xie He lying on top of the bed. He handed over some clothes he had prepared. Idle personnel were not allowed to enter the Empires wars.h.i.+ps. In order to bring Xie He in, Lance had prepared the uniform of the Crown Princes personal guards. As for Xie He, he no longer felt as conflicted as he did before. In any case, he was already a traitor to the Federation. A uniform was no longer of any importance.

Lets go, ba, Lance looked pleased. He would not allow anyone to get a glimpse at what belonged to him. The uniform bundled Xie He up tightly. Only Lance could appreciate the beautiful body underneath.

Xie Hes legs were still a bit soft. He grit his teeth and followed Lance out. When he thought of the scene just now, a complicated expression flitted through his eyes. It wasnt that he didnt perceive the recent change in Lances att.i.tude towards him. However what of it? From the start, they stood on opposing sides. His hatred towards the other would not be erased with just this. He would not forget his goal because Lance doted on him.

He was not a slave that could be raised and trained!

Sawyer waited for them outside. He gave Xie He a fleeting glance. Although he couldnt see beneath the uniform, he could tell what had happened from the others broken lip and his rigid way of walking. Had Lance always vented his l.u.s.t on him, without any regard for time and place?!

Sawyer gave Lance a polite smile. However, no one knew just how furious he was at the moment!

Although he had always known how Xie He was being treated while at Lances side, every time he saw it for himself, he would feel unbearably pained!

This kind of person shouldnt be treated like this. This filthy, rotten Empire was destined to be destroyed!

Your Highness, shall we head over? The others are awaiting you in the conference room. Sawyer slightly lowered his eyes.

All right, Lance said. When they reached the door to the conference room, Lance turned back to Xie He and said, Wait for me outside. Understand?

Xie He did not respond. He was not really Lances subordinate. Why did he have to obediently reply to him?

Lance turned his head slightly to the side. He spoke into the others ear, If youre disobedient, Ill f*ck you until you cant get out of bed so that you cant ever leave my room again. I wont care whether youre obedient or not in that case.

Anger flashed in Xie Hes eyes. In the end, he slowly opened his mouth and said, I will wait for you outside.

Only then did Lance smile, Very good.

Xie He watched him enter the meeting room, standing there with a cold expression.

Xie HeThis PDAing skill.. mn, theres room for improvement.

444PDA? When were you guys making a public display of affection?I just see threats, threats, and more threats! _(:)_

Xie HeOur adorable little vixen doesnt understand how to love. There is only possession in his world. He doesnt know how to treat his partner with equal respect. He only knows of the law of the jungle. To him, love is plundering and declaring ones owners.h.i.+p. Hes really frank and cute, ne. Hehe.

444Hehe, truly cute, ne. O(_)O~

Xie HeNonetheless, its no matter. Luckily, he met me. I have the patience to guide him. ?

444How fortunate he is, oh yeah!_(:)_

Xie He waited outside for a while. The door opened again.

Lances gaze fell on Xie He. There was a smile in his eyes. Come with me.

Xie He watched as they all prepared to head to the command room. If he was always with Lance, he would not be able to secretly meet with Sawyer.

Because he had been done by Lance once and then had to stand outside for a long while, Xie Hes complexion wasnt particularly good. It was no problem to act weak. He revealed a pained expression, pursed his lips, and didnt make a sound. It was obvious that it was rather difficult for him to walk it seemed like he was forcing himself to bear it.

Lance frowned. He recalled that Xie He was no longer an Evolved Human and that it was him who had turned the originally-strong man to this. For the first time, he felt regret. He paused and then said, You return first, ba.

Yes. Xie Hes voice was hoa.r.s.e. After saying that, he turned and left, as if he was just itching to get away from Lance as soon as he could.

The corner of Lances lips raised. He turned and left with the other officers.

The wars.h.i.+p was really big. Xie He slowly headed back. As expected, before he reached Lances room, he was stopped by Sawyer en route.

Sawyer grabbed his wrist and quickly dragged him into a storeroom to the side. He thrust a vial of medicine into his hands, voice low, This is what you wanted.

Thank you! Xie He looked at him with grat.i.tude.

Are you sure that you want to use this? Sawyer gave him a deep look.

Yes. This is my only chance! Xie He said without any hesitation, Since he wants to personally fight, then I will make sure he wont be able to return! Only, I need you to help me create an opening.

Sawyers expression sunk. He said in a low voice, There will be an opening really soon.

I believe that Lance has already sensed that I have something to do with the Federation. Hes suspicious of me. Thats why he decided to personally lead this time, Sawyer said coldly, However, most of the people here are my men. I will not give him a chance. I have decided to attack first!

When? Xie He asked nervously.

Very soon, Sawyer said.

In the command room of the Federation, Cecil furrowed his brows. He was looking at the star atlas in front of him.

Someone quickly came over and said, Cecil

daren

, theres an emergency alert!

Give it to me. Cecil opened up the message. This time, there was no image. It was just a simple paragraph in text:

Lance has already reached the Stein Planetary System and is resupplying there. I believe that he has doubts about my ident.i.ty so before he discovers the truth, we shall attack! At that time, I will support you from within.

Cecil stood up. In a low voice, he said, Pa.s.s on my order! We shall go on the offensive! The third squadron will follow me in ambus.h.i.+ng the Empires mothers.h.i.+p!

The officer standing on the side immediately tried to persuade him otherwise, Cecil

daren

, you cant leave here! Its too dangerous to partic.i.p.ate in the ambush yourself!

I am also a soldier of the Federation. How could I avoid the conflict and hide in the rear? Cecil smiled, expression resolute, Moreover, if we lose this time, theres no point in me escaping on my own. Today, we live and die together.

After saying that, he left in large strides.

Wait for me. I will come save you, Loren!

Xie He didnt listen to Lances instruction to return to the room. After he and Sawyer split ways, he directly headed in another place. As a result, after heading off for a while, he heard an ear-piercing alarm alongside an explosion! He thought, indeed, it happened soon. Then, without any hesitation, he used the drug Sawyer had given him. The drug would take some time to take effect. Moreover, the process was extremely painful. Luckily, he had a pain blocker that would block out 99% of the pain. Because of this, he didnt find it difficult to bear. The discomfort only lasted a moment before disappearing. Xie He clenched his fists and experienced the strength he had felt in the beginning all over again!

The chaos of war arrived very quickly. It caught the Empire off guard.

When Xie He arrived at the command room, there suddenly came the sounds of an intense shootout! A squad of Federation soldiers rushed in! At the front was a person donning armour made of alloy. There was only a pair of grey eyes exposed to the outside. He looked towards Xie He, a look of pleasant surprise appearing in his eyes!

In that moment, Xie He also recognized him. There was disbelief in Xie Hes eyes, as if he never expected that Cecil would personally come!

Just when Xie He was pretending to be moved, 444 spoke.

444Host

dada

! Lance is coming over. Hes really close and will be here very soon!

Xie HeGood. ?

Cecil approached Xie He under his comrades cover. When he saw that he was just about to reach Xie He, a shadow suddenly shot out in front of him like an arrow. Black hair danced in the air. There was a cold glint in those gold eyes! He threw a punch towards Cecils gut!

He was clearly a handsome man with slender and well-proportioned fingers. He was like a perfect work of art. He didnt even use weapons. However, his fist left a deep indent in the alloy armour that couldnt even be pierced by laser guns! Cecil was punched back several tens of metres! If he hadnt been wearing armour, that punch might have killed him!

Xie He watched Cecil get punched back. Worry filled his eyes. Just as he was about to rush over, Lance grabbed hold of him by the wrist!

The Empire soldiers who had been chasing after Lance caught up at that moment. The two sides stood opposite to each other. For a moment, no one dared to make a reckless move!

Xie He stood behind Lance. Lances attention was all on the Federation soldiers before him, as if he wasnt paying Xie He any attention at all. But of course Lance didnt think Xie He was a threat to him, which was why Xie He had this chance.. It was at this moment that Xie He tightly clenched his fist.

Cecil stood up from the ground and gave Lance a cold stare. Let him go!

Lance let out a chuckle full of contempt. He pushed Xie He back towards the Empire soldiers. Lance raised his head and looked down on the other side as if they were ants. He shook both hands and then two sharp swords appeared in his hands. As a member of the Empires royal family, as the strongest Evolved Human, he had never felt threatened by anything!

The Federations soldiers looked at Lance in shock, as if they didnt understand what he was using a weapon of cold steel and not a firearm.

However, they very quickly found out why!

Lances sword was not an ordinary sword. It was made of the sharpest, hardest precious metal within the entirety of the universe. It was even extremely rare within the formidable Empire. No matter how strong a weapon or firearm was, one would still need time to react. However, Lance did not give anyone time. Wherever he went, heads went flying! Even the weapons were hacked in half. It was like a tiger had infiltrated a flock of sheep! In an instant, the Federations squadron was utterly defeated!

Seeing that Lance was about to reach Cecil, Xie He suddenly shouted, Stop!

Lance paused. Indeed, he turned back to look at Xie He.

Xie Hes expression was no longer calm. Both his pupils were constricted out of nervousness. He looked at him fixedly, voice trembling, Please dont kill him.

Youre begging me? Lance narrowed his eyes, expression slightly cold.

Yes, Im begging you. Xie He lowered his head. This was the first time he begged this man. Even he knew how laughable his request was. He was a captive, a slave but he was begging Lance to let go of the enemy.

However, he could not watch him kill Cecil.

Even if he could only stall for some time, it was fine.

Lance looked at this version of Xie He. Suddenly, an intense anger and jealousy arose in his chest. He thought that this person would never beg him, would never lower his head. But that wasnt the case!

While they were speaking, a Federation soldier suddenly pointed a particle laser gun at Xie He!

They were destined to die today! They couldnt kill Lance but they could kill this traitor! However much he used to wors.h.i.+p him, he now hated this person! There was only madness left in his eyes! He had lost all rationality!

No one expected this to happen!

No! Cecils eyes were bulging out of his head. He couldnt explain the injustice Xie He faced to these soldiers. Because of this, he had warned the soldiers not to kill Xie He many times and told them that they had to capture him alive! He wanted to slowly clear things up on their way back. At that time, he would protect Xie He. He didnt think that someone would act impulsively! He had underestimated the hate they had for Xie He.

Lance didnt think that the Federation would suddenly fire at Xie He! If Xie He was still an Evolved Human, he could avoid this. However, he wasnt one right now!

At this moment, Lance didnt have any time to care about his rage or jealousy. There was only Xie He in his eyes. The whole world seemed to stop. He didnt hesitate to leap towards Xie He!

Xie He also looked at Lance. He could have dodged but when he saw that Lance had turned around without any hesitation, he abruptly halted his actions.

He decided to gamble with his life!

Lance had already pushed his speed to the max. In the end, he reached Xie He before the attack hit! He pressed Xie He tightly into his chest, and the beam directly hit him in the back! He felt his organs churn, and he ended up flying a distance away, directly smacking against the wall of the s.h.i.+p!

The two of them fell down several hundred feet, heavily smas.h.i.+ng onto the floor!

From the beginning to the end, Lance had carefully protected Xie He. He held him in his arms and protected his head and chest, letting his own body absorb the impact.

All of this happened in an instant!

Xie He felt his entire body go numb from pain. However, he wasnt actually injured, because the attack didnt land on himLance had taken the hit for him. Afterwards, Lance had also helped him endure the impact with his own body.

He slowly looked up and stared into Lances eyes with trembling lips and a complicated expression.

All of Lances bones were broken. Blood seeped out of his mouth. His golden eyes were full of concern. He continued to hold Xie He in his arms and slowly said, Are you OK?

Xie He was no longer an Evolved Human He could not take such a hit.

Lance stared deeply into Xie Hes eyes. In this moment, he finally understood just how much he cared about this person. In a moment of danger, he didnt even have to think as he instinctively made his decision. He absolutely could not watch Xie He die absolutely could not do it.

So long as this person could live, he would pay any price.

Ding, the target Lances Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 85.

You why did you save me? Xie He looked at him questioningly, a nearly imperceptible tremble in his voice.

Lance smiled. Because you are mine. Aside from me, no one can hurt you.

Even if he was so seriously injured that he was on the brink of death, he was still this ostentatious and vile.

Xie He also smiled. Since he had been captured, he only ever sneered, smirked or smiled derisively. Lance had never seen him like this, smiling so calmly, helpless and aggrieved. Xie He said, You shouldnt save me.

Because I was waiting for you to save me, waiting for you to get injured, waiting for you to put down your guard. Everything that Ive done, me gambling with my life it was all for the sake of killing you.

Xie Hes fingers s.h.i.+fted. Without any warning, he pulled out a dagger from inside his boot. He used all his strength to pierce Lances tough body with it until only the hilt was left!

There was a cold, sharp, and determined glint in his eyes. He parted his lips slightly.

I told you before that I will kill you.

The author has something to say:

At long last, the abuse has begun. _(:)_
