Chapter 75: Mi Ya
At 11:40, the Fourth Legion’s main ship landed at Talli Star’s spaceport, greeted by the Talli Star Lord himself.
At 12:30, accompanied by the Talli Star Lord, Yan Gui Xing and his entourage visited five shopping malls before finally finding Miss Mi Ya of the Mi family and her maid, Anna, trying on clothes.
At 1:00 PM, they officially began their return journey. Fearing that Mi Ya might suddenly decide to go to another planet, Yan Gui Xing made an exception and allowed Mi Ya and Anna to board the starship.
During this time, Mi Ya complained that the starship wasn’t as comfortable as her private spacecraft and refused to board.
To fulfill her mistress’s wishes, Anna argued vehemently with Achi, and there was even a physical altercation, with Anna trying to attack Achi.
Just as Anna’s hand was about to land on Achi’s face, Yan Gui Xing, impatient with the wait, happened to see the situation.
Yan Gui Xing grabbed Anna’s wrist and threw her away. Looking down at Anna on the ground and Mi Ya rushing to her side, he coldly informed them that attacking Imperial soldiers could be prosecuted under the charge of treason.
Terrified Anna and the pale-faced Mi Ya were taken onto the starship by Shaxia and Luotan under Yan Gui Xing’s orders.
Of course, Yan Gui Xing was also warned by Mi Ya.
Mi Ya wore a white lace dress, her small hands clasped in front of her adorned with lace gloves studded with pearls. She also wore a matching set of pearl jewelry in her ears, around her neck, and on her wrists, exuding elegance and pride.
Even though she was frightened pale by the dark-faced Yan Gui Xing, she maintained her aristocratic pride, showing no fear.
She slightly raised her delicate chin towards Yan Gui Xing, her bright eyes filled with anger, her voice sharp and cold, “I will inform my father of everything that happened on this journey, and he will determine whether the engagement should continue.”
If such a simple threat could intimidate Yan Gui Xing, he would have died on the No Return Star long ago, and would not have become the General Yan Gui Xing.
Yan Gui Xing humorously watched the aristocratic young lady threatening him, feeling like he was watching a proud white peacock in a zoo.
He spread his hands, shrugged, the golden epaulets and buttons on his black general’s uniform flashing sharply with his movements.
He said nonchalantly, “Suit yourself.”
Yan Gui Xing’s casual “suit yourself” immediately angered Mi Ya, turning her face red.
But he was concerned about the time and didn’t bother to deal with the arrogant noble lady. He raised his right hand, wearing a black leather glove, beckoned to Luotan and the others, and said with a feigned smile, “Carefully escort Miss Mi Ya and her maid aboard.”
After saying this, Yan Gui Xing walked straight onto the gangplank.
Mi Ya looked at his tall, handsome back, stomping her foot in anger, “He has no gentlemanly manners at all! Doesn’t he know about ladies first?! Where did Father find this barbarian?!”
Shaxia and the others heard Mi Ya’s words, exchanged glances, and sneered.
Did their boss have gentlemanly manners? Please! When their boss went crazy, he would even hit women. The two young ladies had delayed their boss’s time so much and hadn’t been slapped by him, they should thank their lucky stars. What were they complaining about?
Shaxia, Luotan, and the others put on stern faces, surrounding Mi Ya and Anna tightly, leaving them no chance to escape.
Luotan made a “please” gesture to Mi Ya, expressionless, “Miss Mi Ya, please board the ship.”
Mi Ya had never been surrounded by such strong men; the oppressive feeling of her life being threatened made her face so pale that even her exquisite makeup couldn’t hide it.
The two girls huddled together, their thin bodies trembling. Forget escaping; even climbing the stairs, their legs were shaky.
“Rude! So rude!” Mi Ya whispered, her face pale.
Shaxia and the others looked around, pretending not to hear. As the saying goes, what kind of boss you have, you have what kind of subordinates.
Since General Yan Gui Xing lacked gentlemanly manners and didn’t understand the concept of cherishing women, the soldiers he brought with him were naturally the same.
Furthermore, Yan Gui Xing had countless beauties around him in his early years, each beautiful in their own way. As the personal guards who were always by Yan Gui Xing’s side, Shaxia and the others had seen so many beautiful women that they had become immune to them.
Mi Ya, a delicate and elegant beauty like a lily, was quite ordinary in their eyes. Compared to their boss, she was far inferior even to Madam.
Yes! In the eyes of these rough men, being beautiful is enough, regardless of gender.
At 3:00 PM, the Fourth Legion’s main ship arrived at Liuli Star. There were four hours left until Mu Mu came out of the repair tank.
Yan Gui Xing descended the gangplank, replying to Gongsun’s message. Seeing the words “everything is normal,” his anxious heart settled down, but he was even more eager to return.
He comforted himself, the person had safely arrived at Liuli Star, so the following procedures would be quick.
The agreement had been negotiated beforehand; he just needed to confirm the content and sign it.
Yan Gui Xing walked faster and faster, and after leaving the gangplank, he rushed towards the spacecraft parked nearby. The moment he stepped onto the spacecraft’s gangplank, his arm was hooked by a soft hand.
His eyes instantly narrowed, his killing intent erupting. The hand on the handrail changed to grabbing the hand on his arm.
The moment he grabbed the other person’s wrist, he spun his waist, pulling the person towards the metal wall of the spacecraft.
This series of actions was done in one go, swift and powerful, giving the person behind him no time to react.
A soft scream, accompanied by a shrill female scream, and Achi’s rough shout of “Boss, stop!”
Yan Gui Xing suddenly came to his senses, catching sight of the white figure about to hit the spacecraft’s wall, quickly retracting his arm and pulling the person back.
Mi Ya stumbled back a couple of steps before regaining her balance, but she didn’t hit the spacecraft. Yan Gui Xing closed his eyes, feeling a belated sense of fear.
A bad habit cultivated from years of fighting – whenever he made a move, he went for the kill, leaving no room for mercy.
He was also highly wary. Except for those he allowed to approach him, only Achi and his trusted men could get close, and even they would maintain a safe distance.
Normally, Mi Ya wouldn’t approach a strange man within his personal space. But today, she had been enjoying her shopping spree when Yan Gui Xing and his men forcibly took her away in public.
Besides ruining her mood, she had lost face! If this got back to the capital star, she would be ridiculed to death!
Then she was taken onto the starship by Yan Gui Xing’s men and confined to a small, dilapidated room for two hours, not allowed to leave.
This was somewhat unfair to Mi Ya. She wasn’t Yan Gui Xing’s prisoner but someone who was about to become his nominal fiancée.
Even if Yan Gui Xing’s favorability towards her had plummeted, for the sake of cooperation with the Mi family and for the sake of becoming a general, he would treat Mi Ya with courtesy.
That so-called dilapidated room was the rest room for the high-ranking officers of the legion.
It was fully equipped with recreational and entertainment facilities, even a small kitchen with a 24-hour standby robot that could cook dishes from every planet in the Empire and prepare hundreds of drinks.
However, compared to Mi Ya’s luxurious private spacecraft, it was indeed ordinary.
Finally, after leaving the starship, Yan Gui Xing ignored her and left her with a bunch of rough men! Even with Mi Ya’s good manners, she couldn’t help but lose her composure after these consecutive events.
That’s why, in a fit of rage, she ran to Yan Gui Xing, clutching her skirt and wearing her 5-inch high heels, pulling his arm, intending to question what he was doing.
Yan Gui Xing didn’t understand what this noble young lady was trying to do, and he was extremely irritated.
But he maintained basic politeness. After Mi Ya steadied herself, he let go, stepped back to create distance, raised both hands, and apologized with a smile.
“I’m sorry, I had a bit of a conditioned reflex. I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
“Yes!” Mi Ya glared angrily at Yan Gui Xing, raising her left hand which had been grabbed by Yan Gui Xing, the wrist under the lace was red. “You almost broke my hand!”
Yan Gui Xing naturally knew how much strength he had used just now, but as for guilt, there wasn’t much.
Right now, he was thinking that he did great, he knew to control his strength even while distracted; if he had accidentally broken Mi Ya’s wrist, that would have been a real problem.
Yan Gui Xing offered a perfect fake smile, readily apologizing, “I’m very sorry. It’s a soldier’s instinct when under attack. I think Miss Mi Ya will understand.”
With a group of uniformed men surrounding Mi Ya, glaring at her, even if she didn’t understand, she wouldn’t dare say it.
Mi Ya curled her lips into a fake smile, ending the topic.
Yan Gui Xing looked at Mi Ya with satisfaction, turned to board the spacecraft, and Mi Ya hurriedly followed. The click-clack of her high heels attracted Yan Gui Xing’s attention. Seeing her behind him, he asked in surprise.
“What are you doing following me?”
Mi Ya said matter-of-factly, “Boarding the spacecraft, of course.”
Standing on the gangplank, Yan Gui Xing pointed to the spacecraft behind him, asking, “You’re going to board this one?”
Mi Ya said impatiently, “Of course. You didn’t send a vintage car to pick me up. Didn’t Head of the Yan family tell you? I only ride in vintage cars. Forget it, without a vintage car, I’ll reluctantly take the spacecraft.”
Yan Gui Xing’s brows immediately furrowed. He pointed to the spacecraft next to it, “You ride that one.”
Mi Ya immediately asked, “Why?”
Yan Gui Xing was annoyed and took a deep breath to suppress his anger, calmly saying, “That one is specifically for you.”
Mi Ya narrowed her eyes, coldly staring at Yan Gui Xing. Her gaze swept from his handsome face to his black uniform with gold trim, golden epaulets, and buttons, gritted her teeth, snorted coldly, lifted her skirt, stepped off the gangplank, and walked towards the other spacecraft.
Yan Gui Xing was afraid Mi Ya would cause more trouble and watched her board the spacecraft before daring to enter his.
He threw himself into the chair, took off his gloves, threw them onto the seat next to him, leaned his head back against the chair back, and massaged his temples, looking exhausted.
Yan Gui Xing suddenly had a premonition that he wouldn’t be able to keep his appointment with Mu Mu.
