Chapter 99: No One Is More Important Than You
The flyer had already vanished from sight.
Yue Ling still couldn’t quite process it. In the middle of the night, as if she had seen a ghost, she patted her face and looked at her mother beside her. “Mother, don’t you think Brother is a bit… too terrifying?”
He actually has two faces!
Having grown up together for so many years, she had never seen him cry. Now, he can drop tears at the drop of a hat!
The majestic First Commander of the Interstellarāthis was simply hair-raising!
“Whatās the big deal?”
Duchess Hillary wasn’t surprised; in fact, she was quite gratified.
“To win the favor of an SSSS-grade female, itās normal to put in some effort.”
Her Xianāer had finally grown up.
Central Star, Royal Palace.
Ever since Isphine was kidnapped, Jun Chengyin had started investigating the case. Just as he was finally getting somewhere, he saw a photo posted on Isphineās social media account. In the photo, there was a hand… it was Tangtangās!
With a buzz, his brain instantly lost all ability to think. With trembling fingertips, he dialed the girlās lightbrain, but once, twice, three timesāno one answered. Terrified, he directly activated his combat power and headed toward the Jiuqing Villa District.
Why would Tangtang be with Isphine? Did the Shadow Robots take her too? What did they do to her? He didn’t even dare to imagine it!
At the same time, inside the Imperial National Academy of Sciences, Lu Sili, who was closely monitoring the “Shadow Robot Incident,” also turned pale with fright and rushed to the Jiuqing Villa District immediately.
Fortunately, when they reached their destination, Su Miantang was just stepping off the flyer.
“Miantang!”
“Tangtang!”
The two of them rushed forward together and hugged her tightly. Su Miantang, who had just returned home only to be picked up by two males one after the other with her feet off the ground, asked, “Whatās wrong with you two?”
“Tangtang, are you okay?”
The countless doubts in their hearts all turned into deep worry.
Jun Chengyin carefully checked her body. Lu Sili was a bit more rational because, according to the new health monitoring bracelet, all her physical indicators were normal. Itās just…
“Miantang, why did you appear in Isphineās star-map post?”
Su Miantang: “…” They could recognize her even when she only showed one hand?
“Itās a long story.”
“But, Your Highness, I brought you a gift.”
“A gift?”
“Ta-da~”
She lifted the cage in her hand and pulled back the cover, revealing a panicked skunk inside.
“Lauren?!”
The head of the Shadow Robot Organization, the demon who had harmed his body and mind for years. Never mind turning into his original formāJun Chengyin would recognize him even if he were turned to ash!
“The Shadow Robot Organization has been completely wiped out by the First Commander of the Moon Comet system, Yue Zhongxian. He even sent me the mastermind, Dr. Lauren. Now Iām giving him to you so you can deal with him personally.”
Meeting his enemy again with the chance to kill him personally.
Jun Chengyin thought he would be incredibly happy, but when he realized that Tangtang had risked herself to get this for him, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needlesāthe pain was unbearable.
It turned out that in his heart, hatred had long since been replaced by love. Everyone and everything combined couldn’t compare to a single hair on Tangtangās head.
Lu Sili also furrowed his brows, looking at him with a condemning gaze.
Because of his obsession, he had nearly put Miantang in danger!
“Tangtang.” Jun Chengyin hugged her tightly, so tightly she was almost embedded into his body. “Don’t ever risk yourself for me again, okay? No one is more important than you…”
Su Miantang felt his trembling frame and heard his choked voice; she was slightly surprised.
The big lion… is he going to cry?
She hadn’t expected that infiltrating the Shadow Robot Organization would scare him so much. She reached out to rub his hair and promised solemnly, “Okay.”
Behind them, Yue Zhongxian stepped out of the flyer and happened to see this scene.
So Dr. Lauren was a gift for him.
The heir to the Central Star system, the Crown Prince, one of her pursuers.
His eyes darkened slightly.
Suddenly, he regretted sending this gift a littleāhe had essentially made a wedding dress for someone else.
After listening to the young girl describe the events of the past two days, Jun Chengyin and Lu Sili saw a strange youth walk out of her flyer.
“Miantang, who is he?”
“He is the Xiao Erduo I just told you about.”
Su Miantang waved to him from a distance.
“Xiao Erduo, come here. Let me introduce you. This is the Dean of the National Academy of SciencesāLu Sili. And this is the Crown Prince of the EmpireāJun Chengyin.”
Yue Zhongxian walked over, his demeanor polite and reserved. “Hello, elder brothers.”
He was the herbivore beastman who helped Tangtang in the City of Sin?
He looked… quite weak.
Seeing that he wasn’t very old, was an orphan, and had lent a helping hand to Miantang, Lu Sili didn’t harbor any ill will. However, no matter how weak, he was still a male. Staying in a female’s home was very inappropriate.
“You are Xiao Erduo? How about coming back to the Science Academy with me later?”
“Science Academy?” Yue Zhongxian seemed not to know where that was. He murmured it a few times, then suddenly pulled on Su Miantangās sleeve with a terrified expression, hiding behind her and not daring to look up. “Sister, is that the kind of place where they dissect little bunnies for experiments? No, I don’t want to go, Iām scared…”
Su Miantang laughed. “Dean, stop scaring him. Heās very timid.”
Lu Sili didn’t take him seriously, but Jun Chengyin smelled a special scent. He couldn’t quite put his finger on what was special about it.
He looked just like a normal little rabbit.
“Then come back to the palace with me.”
“The palace is an option to consider.”
Su Miantang rubbed her chin and was about to look at Yue Zhongxian when she saw him shaking even harder. “The palace… I once lived on the streets and was beaten by the palace guards. Seeing them triggers a stress response.”
Stress response?
Then never mind!
“For now, just stay here with me for a few days. Once you find a job you like, you can move out.”
“Iāll arrange it…”
Before Jun Chengyin could finish, Yue Zhongxian interrupted him. “I won’t trouble the two brothers. My job is very simple and ordinary; itāll be easy to find.”
“By the way, where is Rong Rong?”
Su Miantang was a bit curious.
She hadn’t seen him for a while.
Jun Chengyinās attention shifted away from the youth. “He set up a restriction at Bamboo Peak. He won’t come out until he reaches S-grade cultivation.”
S-grade?
How is that possible?
Last time he forced himself, it was because he was humiliated by Catherine. What was it for this time?
“Did Catherine make things difficult for him again?”
“No.”
“Then Iāll go find…”
“Tangtang.” Jun Chengyin held her back. “Hua Rong probably feels his rank is too low and that he doesn’t deserve you, so heās being stubborn. Give him some time to calm down; heāll be fine once he thinks it through.”
“Okay.”
Su Miantang couldn’t help but clench her hands in worry.
