Chapter 61: This King Conquers the Empire for You
She couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. “Half of the Central Star System was conquered by you, wasn’t it?”
No wonder everyone said that on the Central Star, the Duke of El family’s status was even higher than the royal family’s. In these years of the royal family’s withering and silence, the true king of the star system had always been him, hadn’t it?
“Mhm.”
Aslan stretched out his arms, completely enveloping her petite body in his embrace from behind. He slightly turned his face, rubbing his cheek against her temple intimately. “Does Susu like it? If you don’t like it…”
He swiped across the map of the Central Star System, his long, slender fingers stopping on some stars around the edges.
“Whichever one you like, this King will conquer it for you.”
“…”
Su Miantang had a visual hallucination, feeling exactly as if an emperor were pulling his beloved concubine, standing on the city gates, and saying to her: Look, this is the empire I have conquered for you.
If you don’t like it, I’ll keep conquering!
“That won’t be necessary.”
“These planets in the Central Star System are already very beautiful.”
“Alright.” Aslan set a route map on the warship. “Then let’s start with the Animal Planet.”
Animal Planet?
A planet covered with all kinds of animals?
He was really taking her down to see, and not just looking at the distribution map in the warship?
Su Miantang somewhat excitedly clicked open the planet’s introduction, watching it with interest.
Aslan took out a high-altitude combat suit, a pair of gloves, and a set of extreme-vision goggles from his private armory, and put them on her.
“Ready?”
“We’re heading out.”
“Mhm mhm!”
Su Miantang nodded expectantly, her amber pupils revealing a radiant, colorful light, so tempting that the man couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
“Don’t look at me with that kind of gaze.”
“Otherwise, I won’t be able to hold back, and you won’t be able to go outside.”
Doing it in his private warship, pressed against the cold, cruel weapons and artillery shells, had always been his dream.
Su Miantang: “?” What kind of gaze?
Courting generally refers to a male pursuing a female. Showing off beautiful feathers, dancing, or building nests are common practices among animals. However, on the Central Star, this activity became much more specific and solemn, including but not limited to the male demonstrating his strength, wealth, status, and loyalty to the female.
Aslan was practicing these one by one to move his beloved little female.
To give her a broader view of the entire Animal Planet, he transformed into his beast form and carried her on his back, soaring high in the sky.
“Wow—”
As soon as they left the warship, Su Miantang, wearing the ultra-clear extreme-vision goggles, let out a sound of awe.
From an altitude of ten thousand meters, she saw an exceptionally spectacular scene of nature’s animal life.
The mighty migration of millions of wildebeests, monkeys swinging through the dense tropical rainforest, herds of cattle and sheep on the grasslands alongside majestic lions, tigers, jackals, and wolves, billions of bees and butterflies dancing gracefully around flowers and plants, and whale sharks and dolphins occasionally leaping out of the sea to breathe…
The scene was magnificent and majestic; she couldn’t take it all in.
“So beautiful!”
“I saw a green peacock, its tail feathers are so special!”
“And a long-tailed tit, round, soft and white, chubby and chirpy, like a little hairball. I want to hold it in my palms and play with it~”
“What is that colorful flower blooming on the mountain called? How come I’ve never seen it before?”
“There’s a pair of swan lovers dancing in the water, forming a heart shape!”
“Such an obedient golden snub-nosed monkey, eating berries…”
She was overwhelmed, chattering away excitedly.
Suddenly, she noticed something unusual.
On the continent, countless active animals suddenly raised their heads, as if they had abruptly caught the scent of some powerful aura, and gazed up at the high sky.
Immediately after, row upon row, patch after patch, like dominoes, they lowered their heads and knelt on their front limbs. The sheer number of them almost covered the entire planet.
This grand and sacred ceremony seemed to be welcoming and worshipping their king.
Su Miantang was deeply shaken by this majestic scene, unable to even speak.
Were they bowing to Lanlan?
Previously, seeing the wolf pack surrounding Enzo and the flock of birds dancing for Fred had already felt incredible to her. But now, it was the entire animal continent.
A true ruler over the world, the King of All Beasts.
Imitating their posture, she leaned forward slightly, hugged the white tiger’s neck, and gently, tenderly rubbed against him. “Lanlan, they are all… Ah—”
Before she finished her words, Aslan’s tiger body jolted. His wings instantly lost their balance, bringing her plummeting abruptly from ten thousand meters high.
Su Miantang, holding onto his wings for dear life, “…” Oh no, she forgot again that a beastman’s nape cannot be touched!
Right before hitting the ground, Aslan reverted to human form and fiercely pinned her, whose breathing was unsteady, beneath him. “Susu, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Deliberately seducing me. I didn’t expect you to like doing it in the sky?”
“Should we go back up and do it, or just right here?”
“Right here, I can also make you ‘fly to the heavens’…”
His blazing red eyes were scorching hot, the corners of his eyes flushed a fiery red from being provoked. A trace of savagery leaked through his handsome face, seeming unable to restrain his beastly nature, wanting to swallow her whole.
Su Miantang reached out her hand and covered his mouth, which was full of predatory words.
“Believe me, it really wasn’t on purpose.”
“I don’t believe you.”
Aslan curled his lips and kissed her palm along the way.
Su Miantang’s fingertips trembled slightly, and she pulled her hand away. “R-Really, I was just imitating the actions of the other animals.”
“Them?” The man’s eyes narrowed mischievously. “Susu, do you also want to bow to me as King?”
“I just thought it was interesting.”
“Or, taking a step back, acknowledge me as your Master.”
“No!” Hearing the word ‘Master,’ Su Miantang strictly refused, resolutely defending her status as the master. “I am your master, even though you forgot.”
“It doesn’t matter. From today onwards, you are still my Lady Female Master.”
“…”
Su Miantang realized she had unknowingly fallen into his verbal trap again. How was this tiger even more cunning than a fox?
“Get up first.”
“You provoked me and won’t take responsibility?”
Unsatisfied, Aslan held her tightly in his arms, closed his eyes, and indulged in inhaling her scent.
“No, let me hold you for a bit, to calm down.”
She really was so fragrant, so fragrant.
He really wanted to…
Su Miantang felt his ‘terrifying’ restlessness and regretted it endlessly.
Being this… how long would it take for him to calm down? It was all her fault for being handsy.
“Chirp chirp chirp~”
Nearby, a tender and crisp bird call suddenly sounded.
She turned her head in confusion and saw a white, soft, chubby long-tailed tit hopping over to her hand. “Little Hairball? How did it get here?”
“It really is so soft, so cute, and so squishy.”
She couldn’t help but extend her finger, affectionately poking its round belly.
Aslan suddenly opened his eyes.
