When Ling Xuan saw Ling Yaoyao's dazed and resisting look, he knew that the girl didn't want to get married so early.
Ling Xuan's eyes sank instantly. However, he knew that this little girl would only accept soft persuasion and not hard ones. The more he forced her, the more disgusted she would become. It would only make her want to escape.
The major general's generous and powerful hands gently rubbed the top of the girl's soft hair. He tried to "reason" with her in a low and gentle tone, "It is because you are still young that I want to settle down as soon as possible. We can get engaged if you don't want to get married yet. Wait until you graduate, and then we get married. Otherwise, I will be very worried. When you meet more outstanding young men of the same age outside, one day you will feel that they are younger and more energetic than me, and you will not like me anymore. You said before that you don't like my staid and serious type..."
Ling Xuan told the girl about his possessiveness and anxiety.
Ling Yaoyao calmed down amusedly, "But I just like you. What can I do... Don't worry, I will always like you, only you."
With that said, the girl took the initiative to kiss Ling Xuan's lips.
Even Ling Yaoyao's rejection of the word "marriage," which represents bondage, also reduces a lot.
She has worked so hard to improve her supplementary food research, in fact, because of her low self-esteem. Her appearance and identity are all from the original owner. Only her achievements in food therapy belong to her. Ling Xuan was originally the God of War of the Empire, the dream lover of countless girls. How could she not be afraid that he would meet better women out there?
But Ling Yaoyao would not just watch Ling Xuan pretend to be pitiful and then agree to his proposal so easily. This is not a formal marriage proposal at all! Marriage or whatever had to wait for her biological parents to be found!
Marriage is different from love. It is not only a matter for the two of them. Of course, it requires explicit consent and blessing from the families on both sides.
Ling Xuan heard Ling Yaoyao's sweet words that were almost confession and actively offered kisses. He knew that her heart was a little loose. Even if she doesn't agree now, he will still grind her until she agrees when everything is settled.
The little girl's physique has now risen to A-level. As long as she is relaxed, she should be able to bear him... However, he still wants to save the best memory between the two until after the engagement... That's right. The major general is still quite old-fashioned.
Ling Xuan's eyes suddenly became a little deeper when he thought of this deeper meaning of engagement. He grabbed the back of the girl's head, pressed her onto the dashboard of the command room, and kissed her again. This time the man's kiss became more passionate, with a hint of wanting to take the girl apart and eat her.
Ling Yaoyao was very nervous. Someone might come in in the command room at any time! In addition, there are many touch-screen buttons on the dashboard. What would happen if she accidentally rubbed any of them and caused the battleship into an accident?
Ling Xuan seemed to see her worries. He held her small earlobe on the other side and said quietly, "Don't worry, no one will come in. You don't have permission, so you can't change the command buttons."
Unfortunately, just after Ling Xuan finished speaking, the command room door was pushed open...
Ling Yaoyao was so frightened that she quickly pushed away from the major general who was pressing on her
The intelligent robot was standing at the door of the battleship command room with a lunch box, blinked innocently, and said, "I'm sorry, major general, I have disturbed you. Do you want to have lunch first or continue to make out with this beautiful lady? "
Ling Xuan's face became as dark as the bottom of a pot...
Ling Yaoyao was extremely embarrassed. My God, why are robots in the interstellar era so straightforward?
She quickly said, "Eat!"
However, the robot did not recognize her opinion. It still looked at Ling Xuan, waiting for his instruction.
Ling Xuan said coldly, "This is my fiancée. You must take her opinion first in the future!"
The intelligent robot immediately responded. Its round eyes blinked, and a blue light flashed, scanning and recording Ling Yaoyao's whole body's data.
When the robot left, both of them were bickering.
Ling Yaoyao: "I'm not your fiancee yet!"
Ling Xuan: "You won't give me a name?"
Ling Xuan: "It will be done soon anyway!"
Ling Yaoyao: "I just don't like being seen..."
Hearing Ling Xuan's very determined "It will be done soon," Ling Yaoyao said angrily, "Since you are so confident and eager to get engaged, I should think more about it! You can change to another one if you can't wait!"
Ling Xuan, who was planning to kiss her as a declaration of sovereignty, heard Ling Yaoyao's last sentence. His eyes suddenly became very cold and fierce!
Ling Xuan resisted the urge to hack someone and said in a cold tone, "Your last sentence, would you say it again?"
Ling Yaoyao was frightened by Ling Xuan's suddenly terrifying aura and retreated. However, when she stepped back, there was a transparent tempered window behind her... Outside was the vast sea of stars.
Looking back at the endless emptiness, Ling Yaoyao became afraid of heights. She hurriedly retracted back, throwing herself into Ling Xuan's arms, while hugging his waist, and complained first, "Woo, you bullied me! You were fierce to me!"
Ling Xuan: ...
Ling Yaoyao responds to soft persuasion and not hard. Ling Xuan as well. When he saw his baby girl take the initiative to hug him and cry, even though he knew that she was pretending, he still couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
He immediately hugged the girl's small body back tightly, "I was wrong, I shouldn't be fierce to you. If you don't like being seen by others, we'll kiss privately next time. But you are not allowed to say anything like 'change to another' in the future. It's impossible for me not to be angry."
Ling Yaoyao also knew that she had said too much. In fact, she and Ling Xuan spend too little time together in daily life. There are many differences in thoughts and concepts between the two.
But as long as they love each other and believe that the other's heart is unchanged, these can be slowly adjusted and accommodated.
Ling Yaoyao has touched Ling Xuan's bottom line. In short, she must not mention breaking up so easily. Otherwise, this person is bound to go crazy.
And Ling Xuan also found out this young girl, besides being cute, soft, and charming, also has a little temperament. He must follow her wish more at this time.
After siblings become lovers, they will often have small disputes, but fortunately, they can always get better and better.
The two had lunch together in the command room.
The food for lunch, except for the medicinal soup which was prepared by Ling Yaoyao before, was made by other food therapists. The food was of ancient Chinese style, which was not bad.
After lunch, Ling Yaoyao went to the kitchen, planning to go to the food therapy laboratory to make a batch of supplementary food.
If she can successfully rendezvous with her parents later, she may not have so much time to stay in the food therapy laboratory all day.
Not long after lunch, the Nighthawks main battleship approached the coordinates of the abandoned resource star given by Wei Ling. However, before Ling Xuan managed to send people to investigate the situation, they encountered a ship with a skull mark. It was a star pirates spaceship.
Although the spaceship looks a bit old, it is extremely large, more than four or five times larger than their battleship!
What's even more frightening is that the opponent is huge but not slower than them at all. The spaceship also took the initiative to greet them. The posture was like encountering a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
After all, the Tarzhers Star Territory is better than their Huanuo Empire in terms of science and technology. Now, in this unfamiliar starfield, are they going to encounter their first terrible enemy?
Cheng Bin, who has now returned to the command room, said in shock, "The last time I met Admiral Wei, he was on a miniature civilian spaceship without any marks... Lu Lin, are you sure that the coordinates you got are correct? Could it be that the communication between you and Admiral Wei was intercepted and changed by star pirates?"
Lu Lin cannot accept being questioned in his own professional field. "Impossible! I have thoroughly mastered the communication technology of the Tarzhers Star Territory!"
The communication technology of the Tarzhers starfield obtained by Lu Lin was naturally intercepted from Xiao Ming. Although his current technology cannot actively invade other people's systems, it is still possible to ensure the safety of his own communication channels.
Ling Xuan touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps, they just want to test our strength."
As an outsider in the Tarzhers Star Territory, Wei Ling can survive here for many years. Wei Ling can't fight the Tarzhers Star Alliance on his own. He must also take refuge in some sort of local power.
It stands to reason that Wei Ling is the head of the Thorns Legion of the Huanuo Empire. His wife and daughter were kidnapped by star pirates back then. He should have no good impression of star pirates and would not take the initiative to join them.
However, the Tarzhers Star Alliance suppressed and persecuted the human race, and it was impossible to work with them. Under the circumstances, Wei Ling might compromise temporarily.
Only in this way can he get resources such as spaceship and energy, understand some of the Tarzhers Star Alliance's military's developments, and ensure his wife's safety when he goes out on a mission.
With Wei Ling's SS-level spiritual power and SS-level physique qualifications, he must be one of the high-ranking members of any star pirates. However, he has not been here for a long time, slightly less than twenty years, and he wants to return to Huanuo Empire. He will certainly not become the highest-ranking person among the pirates.
The enemy's enemy is a friend. Ling Xuan is here to deal with the Tarzhers Star Alliance. These star pirates might look at Wei Ling's face and cooperate with them. However, before they decide to cooperate, of course, they must first test the strength of the Nighthawks. After all, they were from a lower-level civilization.
Therefore, Ling Xuan's instructions are to conservatively prepare for battle, increase defenses, prepare to move flexibly, and attack sharply when necessary.
They are indeed from a civilization that is one level lower than the Tarzhers Star Territory, and their attack power may not be as powerful as those in the Tarzhers Star Territory, but they are by no means a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch easily.
However, even though the star pirates spaceship came over aggressively, it did not immediately attack them after it reached an attack range. Instead, it stopped strangely and sent a communication request...
It was the Nighthawks who seized the opportunity to attack first. The battleship immediately blasted a long-range high-energy particle cannon at the opponent!
Brother Lu Lin asked, "Boss, should we still have to pick up their communications?"
Ling Xuan: "Take it!"
Soon, the video call was connected. A big bearded man came out on the opposite side and angrily said, "Boy, you actually attack us first! You are not honorable!"
While he said this, the high-energy particle cannon sent by the Nighthawks had just arrived on the Skull Star Pirates spaceship. The opponent retreated quickly. However, the size of their spaceship is too large, and it is too late to retreat. It can only expend huge energy to open a defensive shield to withstand the bombardment of this high-energy particle cannon.
The bearded man obviously spoke their starfield's language, with the accent of the Narai Federation.
Ling Xuan maintained a cold face, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Didn't your Excellency just want to fight with us just now? Or did you just want to loosen up your muscles?"
The bearded man choked, looked at Ling Xuan carefully, and then frowned, "Why do you look like Ling Tianyue? You are not his son, right?"
Ling Xuan nodded reservedly, "He is my father. Your Excellency... Could you be Admiral Ward Mayne who was sucked into a wormhole on the Zerg battlefield in the border of Narai Federation forty years ago?"
He came from the same era as his old father, Ling Tianyue, so he is qualified to speak about Ling Tianyue in this kind of familiar and a little hostile tone. He is also a powerful senior military member of the Narai Federation who was missing on the battlefield.
If the leader of these star pirates is Ward Mayne, Ling Xuan can understand why he would want to try his level. The Huanuo Empire and the Narai Federation have not been very peaceful at all. If it weren't for the Zergs, their common enemy, maybe a war between them would have started long ago.
If Ward Mayne is the boss of these star pirates, then the chance that Wei Ling is also on this spaceship is even greater.
In the Warner Star Territory, although the two giants, the Huanuo Empire, and the Narai Federation, were not close, they were not enemies either. If the two encountered each other in this alien territory, at least they are all the human race, so they will naturally choose to cooperate.
Sure enough, admiration flashed in the eyes of the brawny man. "That's a good kid! You actually had heard of me!"
They confirmed each other's identities, but Ward didn't mean to cooperate immediately. He asked him what he was most concerned about, "What's the matter with the juvenile fleshy peach worm on top of your battleship?"
This is also the reason why the Skull Star Pirate Ship suddenly became afraid to take action.
In the Tarzhers starfield, any Zerg can be killed, but not a fleshy peach worm. Let's not say whether or not they could kill it. Even if they can, where it died and when it died would be detected by the owner behind the scene. Then they would chase them endlessly.
Because the number of fleshy peach worms that can grow up is very rare, they are an important medium for Zerg control for the Tarzhers Star Alliance.
If they were far away from their base camp, they would risk killing it even they might get killed. Anyway, their purpose is to fight against the Tarzhers Star Alliance forces. But now, this place is too close to the Skull Star Pirates base camp. They can't expose their nest.
After all, Zergs are instinctively eating human flesh and blood. All Zergs are human beings' mortal enemies and cannot coexist peacefully.
A fleshy peach worm usually sits in the rear of the Zerg army. When they reach an SSS+ adult body, they can make a spatial transition to eat in a different place. At other times, they will not walk around at will.
But this fleshy peach worm on the main battleship of the Nighthawks looked like it had just spawned. It has no hard shells and looks like it is only SS rank. However, it is impossible for such a weak fleshy peach worm to survive in space.
At this time, Wei Ling's image also appeared in the video. His face did not look very different from the one Ling Xuan had seen in the holographic picture before. His facial features were clear and handsome, but he was slightly more mature.
With a slight smile, Wei Ling briefly explained the normal behavior of fleshy peach worms to Ling Xuan and asked him what was going on?
Because the communication number Ling Xuan's people contacted was given by Wei Ling, and Wei Ling was a member of the Huanuo Empire, it was actually more appropriate for him to talk to Ling Xuan.
However, Wei Ling didn't completely trust the Nighthawks that suddenly appeared. He helped a small team of Nighthawks before, but he also explicitly asked that person not to come to the Tarzhers Star Field again.
So why did these people come here? What is the purpose? How strong are they?
They received some information from the human that was taken as a slave by the Tarzhers Alliance. It seems that the Tarzhers Alliance has recently cooperated with the Huanuo Empire humans to turn the Huanuo Empire into a colony of the Tarzhers Alliance.
Under this circumstance, Ling Xuan's unscathed battleship appeared in the Tarzhers Star Territory without alerting any of the Tarzhers Star Alliance forces, which is really too suspicious!
The Skull Star Pirates can be classified as star pirates, but they are actually a force composed of human races who have fallen into a wormhole into the Tarzhers Star Territory and cannot find a way to return home. They have to be extremely cautious!
Otherwise, they may become the energy source for the Tarzhers Alliance to cultivate new Zergs at any time or slaves who have to surrender to the Tarzhers after their body structure is changed, or if they are women, fertility tools!
Therefore, Wei Ling didn't come out immediately but chose to secretly observe who the person was.
Wei Ling didn't expect it to be Ling Xuan, the heir of the Gray Wolf Legion!
Wei Ling had a certain impression of Ling Xuan. When he left the Huanuo Empire 18 years ago, Ling Xuan, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, had been found to have SSS-level spiritual power. He was beginning to show himself in the power circle of the capital. The Gray Wolf Legion, led by the Ling family, is also the main force in the generational confrontation with the Zerg.
As long as the Ling family has any brain, they would never choose to cooperate with the Tarzhers. Even if they were bold enough to rebel and overthrow the royal family, they would never choose such a stupid way to lure wolves into their house.
Therefore, after they found out about Ling Xuan's identity, Wei Ling came out.
When Ling Xuan saw Wei Ling appear, it also proved that his previous speculations were correct.
There was obvious joy in Ling Xuan's eyes. However, no matter how he explained it, it would be difficult for the other party to believe their successful instigation of 168... and strictly speaking, he was indeed cooperating with 168 now.
Ling Xuan pondered for a while and said to Lu Lin, "Ask Yaoyao to come to the command room immediately."
Although Wei Ling and Ward Mayne would not believe him, Ling Xuan tried to explain 168's matter briefly. Of course, he omitted a lot of details, such as how they fooled 168 and how they turned 168 into the current body shape, which is similar to a peach worm's juvenile period, but the strength is comparable to an adult peach worm.
Sure enough, when Ling Xuan finished speaking, Ward Mayne began to look hideous. "Could it be that your Ling family really cooperates with the Tarzhers royal family? Fooling a fleshy peach worm and promising it to deal with the Tarzhers together? This excuse is too bad!"
Wei Ling didn't speak but frowned slightly. It seemed that he didn't believe Ling Xuan's words very much either.
Ling Xuan calmly continued, "I came to the Tarzhers Star Territory, first of all, was because someone in the empire did cooperate with the Tarzhers Royal Family. This person is the second prince, Xiao Ming. His mother, Queen Mei Lin, is a Tarzhers Star Alliance person. She was a hybrid of a human race with a quarter of the Tarzhers bloodline. The current emperor of the Tarzhers Alliance is Xiao Ming's half-brothers. If we want to eliminate the continuous Zerg crisis of the Huanuo Empire completely, we can only do this by destroying the Tarzhers Star Alliance.
Secondly, the biggest purpose of my trip is because I was entrusted by others to find General Wei Ling and take you back to the Huanuo Empire."
Ling Xuan's first reason seems to have added a lot of credibility. Wei Ling also knew that Queen Mei Lin was a civilian, and indeed it is very likely that she was a Tarzhers disguised as a normal human. The current emperor of the Tarzhers Star Alliance is indeed has a quarter of human blood.
But how did Ling Xuan know these secrets that they couldn't even detect in the Tarzhers Star Field?
As for the second reason, Wei Ling is not very convinced. Although the friendship between the Wei family and the Ling family is acceptable, his cousin sister, Wei Yan, and Ling Xuan's mother, Shen Yunjin, are also classmates, but this relationship is not deep enough to make Ling Xuan venture out to rescue him!
At this time, the door of Ling Xuan's command room was opened, and a young girl walked in with three cups of fruit tea.
Ling Xuan quickly turned off the monitor and speaker to hide the communication from the other party. However, Wei Ling still could see and hear the video and sound from Ling Xuan's command room.
Ling Xuan believed that Wei Ling should be able to recognize Ling Yaoyao, who was 30-50% similar to his wife, Qian Yao.
In order not to let them think that this was a conspiracy, and because of his secret careful thoughts that he wanted to open up his relationship in front of his future father-in-law, he decided to do this.
After Ling Yaoyao entered the door, Ling Xuan turned his back as if he was busy with something on the dashboard, so Ling Yaoyao first brought two cups of fruit tea to Cheng Bin and Lu Lin.
Cheng Bin took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Little Brother Lu Lin also said something similar.
Ling Yaoyao immediately raised her eyebrows, smiling while rebuking, "Don't call me this!"
Ling Yaoyao walked to Ling Xuan with the last cup of fruit tea and asked, "Brother, do you have something you want to ask me?"
When there are people around, she is still habitually called Ling Xuan "Brother."
Ling Xuan said, "Yeah", touched her head, took a sip of fruit tea, and then frowned slightly, "It's too sweet!"
Then he handed it back to Ling Yaoyao.
Ling Yaoyao also took a sip, "Ah, it may be that I was in a hurry just now. I accidentally put too much honey!"
Then she put it back into Ling Xuan's hand. "No matter what, I made it, so you have to drink it all."
Ling Xuan had to grimace and poured the whole cup of sweet fruit tea into his mouth at once.
Seeing Ling Xuan's expression, a sly look flashed across Ling Yaoyao's face. She knew that Ling Xuan didn't like sweet things, but she deliberately added more honey, just to see how he drank it even though he didn't like it.
Ling Xuan was a little helpless. He caressed Ling Yaoyao's face affectionately and said straightforwardly, "I saw General Wei Ling, but he didn't believe that I was here to save him. He felt that I had other intentions. What do you say?"
Ling Yaoyao immediately said in surprise, "Ah? Where is my father? I'll tell him!"
On the other side of the video call, Wei Ling, who had been watching this scene, felt extremely complicated.
'...Shocked! My baby girl didn't die back then?! What a surprise!'
However...
'Fuck, what's going on between her and the Ling family boy!!' (╰_╯)#
