Extreme Shadow’s main force ran off with the snatched armaments, leaving only a few like Fang Liang and Li Yuan still wandering around the battlefield.

With his subordinates gone, Chi Yao didn’t have any serious business. When Jing Xi finished his work and returned to the rest cabin, Chi Yao was already asleep.

Jing Xi took off his gloves and walked toward the bedroom.

The bedroom was pitch black; he didn’t turn on the light.

Walking to the bedside, he found Chi Yao wasn’t there at all.

He didn’t pause, turning around to walk toward the other bedroom.

The metal door wasn’t locked; it opened with a gentle push.

The crisp smell of alcohol hit his nose.

Very faint; someone without a particularly sensitive sense of smell might not detect it.

Jing Xi’s expression changed. He closed the door behind him and walked over quickly.

Chi Yao lay in the middle of the large bed, head sunk in the fluffy pillow, sleeping soundly.

After briefly adapting to the darkness, Jing Xi gently lifted a corner of the quilt to touch his hand.

Fortunately, no deformation.

After washing up and returning, Jing Xi lay beside him, resting his chin in his hand and looking at him for a long time.

Actually rejected him.

As a qualified prodigal, shouldn’t he accept all comers?

“Only kissing before engagement, to think you could come up with that.” Jing Xi kissed his forehead, whispering to himself, “Let’s see who can’t hold back first.”

Chi Yao frowned in his sleep, seeming to dream of something bad.

The next day, when Chi Yao woke up, Chen Bingfeng and Cygnus had already set off.

He rubbed his messy hair and went to the bathroom.

In the middle of the night, he groggily seemed to hear Jing Xi speaking, but also seemed not to.

Thinking of Jing Xi’s cold yet charming eyes when kissing him yesterday, his heart skipped a beat violently.

Forgot to take a photo; such a pity.

Brushing his teeth, he casually sent a message to Chun Qin.

Planet 0520 Lab—

Chun Qin suddenly sneezed holding a test tube, inexplicably feeling uneasy.

The next moment, her terminal rang.

She walked out of the lab, took off her sterile gloves, and opened the terminal.

Because they couldn’t apply for the Imperial Citizen version of terminals without household registration, everyone in Extreme Shadow used modified versions. They didn’t need to bind personal identity information and had no smart chips implanted in the brain, so functions were very limited.

The popped-up window showed a message from Chi Yao, only one line.

[Chun Qin, when do couples usually proceed to steps after kissing?]

Chun Qin: “…”

Sure enough.

Chi Yao had complex experiences growing up and encountered many opposite sex individuals, but the only female truly close to him was her, and she wasn’t an omega, providing no soil for cultivating his EQ.

Chun Qin typed a few words, deleted them, and changed to another sentence.

Chi Yao received the reply right after washing his face.

[Chun Qin: Before answering this question, I want to know if you can control your pheromones well currently?]

Chi Yao: “…?”

[Of course.]

[Chun Qin: A partner’s pheromones and violent emotional fluctuations are extremely likely to stimulate you to release pheromones. Are you sure you can maintain human form then?]

Chi Yao: “……”

He hadn’t thought about this problem.

Leaving aside whether the technique was good or bad, what if he transformed halfway through—

It wouldn’t matter if hands and feet changed a bit, but if that thing also—

“Fuck!” Chi Yao cursed in a low voice.

That scene couldn’t be thought about; he would be hunted down by Jing Xi.

If it really turned out like that, the first time would be their last time.

Staying in the south for another three days, Flying Dragon sent refugees from areas unaffected by war and slightly damaged areas back home. For severely damaged areas, temporary housing construction was uniformly arranged, battlefields cleared, and network communication restored.

After all post-war work was orderly handed over to local departments and garrisons, it was about time for Flying Dragon to return.

Receiving the instruction from the boss to leave, Li Yuan took a fierce drag on his cigarette, threw the half-finished butt on the ground and stamped it out, getting up to leave.

“Where are you going? Almost time to assemble.”

Seeing him about to drive out, Fang Liang reminded him.

Li Yuan: “Something to do, back soon.”

The road was full of operating transport robots, big and small, on the ground and in the sky.

In just a few days, all streets were basically cleared. What remained was repairing and rebuilding damaged places.

Fifteen minutes later, he parked the car by the river embankment.

A group of new recruits was supervising transport robots working along the embankment.

“Chu Xiao! Someone looking for you!”

Chu Xiao was standing in the water with rolled-up pants cleaning a clogged filter screen. Hearing the voice, he turned to look and saw Li Yuan waving at him.

“Brother Li!”

Chu Xiao walked a few steps to the shore and ran over dripping wet. “Why are you here? Interested in competing marksmanship with me?”

Li Yuan sat on the steps, rolling his eyes at him.

“Competing with you is beneath me.”

Chu Xiao casually took a bottle of water from the supply box and handed it to him, sitting on the step below.

“Then what do you want with me? Finally decided to turn yourself in?”

Li Yuan took the military knife from his lower back and threw it over.

Chu Xiao caught it easily.

Without opening the sheath, just the weight in his hand told him it was a good knife.

“For me?” He was a bit flattered.

All along, he had been chasing after Li Yuan.

The other party was a battle-hardened space pirate with god-like marksmanship; naturally, he wouldn’t take a rookie soldier like him as an opponent.

“Came to say goodbye.” Li Yuan pulled a cigarette from the box and held it in his mouth. “Don’t chase after space pirates foolishly in the future. Not everyone has as good a temper as me.”

Chu Xiao glanced at him: “Do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?”

Li Yuan: “…”

Twenty years old was too dazzling. He just felt this purity shouldn’t be let down, that’s all.

“Chu Xiao, deliver this batch of drill bits to Team Three.”

Someone shouted to Chu Xiao from a distance.

Said what needed to be said, Li Yuan got up.

“Leaving.”

Chu Xiao got up too.

“Next time we meet, I’ll work hard to make you willing to compete with me.”

Li Yuan: “Won’t compete.”

Chu Xiao: “Afraid of losing to me?”

Li Yuan turned around wanting to grab him and shake the water out of his brain.

So young, why talk nonsense all day.

Chu Xiao dodged before he moved, jumped down a few steps, and waved at him smiling.

“Bon voyage!”

“Brat, lucky you ran fast.”

Li Yuan shook his head, intending to leave. Seeing something from the corner of his eye, he glanced casually and froze.

On Chu Xiao’s calf was a bullet-shaped red scar.

Li Yuan’s ears buzzed. When he reacted and wanted to chase, Chu Xiao had already driven away in a small transport vehicle.

Surrounding soldiers looked his way from time to time, eyes subtle.

He was a space pirate and shouldn’t stay here too long, but—

The terminal rang; Fang Liang was urging him.

Li Yuan’s hand hanging by his side clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, finally turning to leave.

Maybe just a coincidence.

Extreme Shadow had few people left, and things to prepare were simple.

After finishing packing, Fang Liang saw Li Yuan return, looking lost and soulless, as if his wife had died.

“Where did you go?” Fang Liang asked casually.

Li Yuan looked up, stared at him blankly for a moment, and suddenly hugged him crying loudly.

“Brother Liang, I think I saw my son waaaahhh—!”

Fang Liang was bear-hugged by him, ribs almost crushed.

“Where?”

Li Yuan: “By the river…”

Fang Liang: “…”

Li Yuan pushed him away, gesturing excitedly with his fingers. “The shape there is small and red, this thick, exactly the same as my son!”

With every sentence he spoke, Fang Liang’s face darkened a bit more.

“Don’t make such obscene gestures.”

Li Yuan: “…?”

Obscene?

“What’s so lively?”

Chi Yao walked into the warship from outside, leaning casually against the table, telling them, “I’ll go to Capital Star with Flying Dragon first. Have a mission for you.”

“Go to Capital Star?”

A brief sentence interrupted their previous topic. Fang Liang went up to him. “Capital Star is too dangerous.”

They were both space pirates and wanted criminals. In a place like Capital Star, high-tech surveillance was everywhere. They might be chased by AI guards before walking a few steps on the street.

Chi Yao shook his head: “I must go once.”

Li Yuan hung with tears, forgetting to wipe them: “Going to live the life of a kept man by the Major General? So envious.”

Chi Yao sneered: “Envious but not your turn.”

Fang Liang: “…”

Not denying it?

Chi Yao brought back the topic: “You go to S810, check if there are any laboratories there.”

Fang Liang: “Also that kind of laboratory?”

Chi Yao was silent for a moment, thoughtful.

“Can try looking in the direction of military laboratories. If necessary, I’ll ask the old man’s people to assist. Must be cautious not to expose yourselves.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Fang Liang: “You follow Old Li, don’t let him act recklessly.”

Li Yuan was unhappy hearing this: “When did I act recklessly?”

Chi Yao: “Thick skin can’t withstand torment. If you still want to find your son, be obedient.”

Li Yuan: “…”

Extreme Shadow had to leave before Flying Dragon left; this was the bottom line Jing Xi gave.

He could trust Extreme Shadow, but couldn’t joke with the safety of Planet 333 residents.

Time was tight; Chi Yao prepared to leave after giving instructions.

At the hatch, he heard Li Yuan calling him from behind.

“Boss.” Li Yuan looked left and right like a thief. “That Chu Xiao among Flying Dragon’s new recruits—”

“That little gunman? What about him?” Chi Yao raised his eyebrows. “He pestered you again?”

“No.” Li Yuan put his arm around Chi Yao’s shoulder, lowering his voice. “You are familiar with Major General Jing. Can you ask him to take care of this kid more?”

Chi Yao sized him up: “What’s wrong with you today?”

Li Yuan’s eyes drifted: “Just—think this kid has potential. Since we’ll be one family with Flying Dragon in the future, digging potential stocks for the other side is also appropriate.”

Chi Yao: “…”

Flying Dragon main ship, Jing Xi looked at the reagent bottle in his hand.

This was the unidentified tissue stuck on Xiao Hei when digging Chi Yao out from the bottom of the cave.

Although its origin might not be known immediately, a simple test would basically tell what it was.

This level of testing, Grandma could do.

Hearing movement outside, he knew it was Chi Yao just from the footsteps.

Jing Xi put away the reagent bottle.

“Left?” Jing Xi asked looking at this unfamiliar face.

Chi Yao smiled: “You allowed them to leave with armaments, would they not cooperate obediently?”

Jing Xi looked indifferent: “I didn’t allow it. Extreme Shadow was too strong, Flying Dragon couldn’t stop them, only could watch helplessly as they snatched the armaments.”

Chi Yao: “…You use this reason to fool those old men?”

Jing Xi: “Too lazy to make up stories. Those who understand, understand.”

Chi Yao: “…”

So tough?

At 10:00 AM the next day, all announcement screens at evacuation points and all public communication channels popped up a real-time video simultaneously.

In the picture was Jing Xi in uniform.

[Residents of No. 333, I am Jing Xi, Commander of Flying Dragon Legion. Sorry to meet everyone in this way…]

People queuing for supplies on the street, waiting to be arranged in evacuation points, cleaning up at home…

At this moment, everyone stopped simultaneously to look at the screen.

Jing Xi didn’t say much, briefly summarizing Flying Dragon’s work on Planet 333, and giving detailed explanations on food, clothing, expenses, and life restoration that people cared about most.

Finally, the camera pulled back.

Jing Xi and a row of officers behind him saluted the people in unison.

People in various surveillance screens spontaneously saluted back at the screen.

Observing this scene, Chi Yao was inexplicably touched.

No matter what he did, he probably wouldn’t get such a response in this lifetime, right?

Video ended. Jing Xi left a supervision team and departed with the main force.

The garrison in Cetus Constellation had big problems, but changing them all at once wasn’t realistic.

On the way back, Jing Xi finished the report in hand; there was a pile beside him yet to do.

He rubbed his brow, getting up to walk out.

Chi Yao was lying on the sofa watching news. Seeing Jing Xi walk out of the study, he waved to him.

“Finished?”

Jing Xi shook his head, lying sideways beside him, long legs crossing over.

“What are you watching?”

Suddenly having such a big cat in his arms, Chi Yao was satisfied.

“Cygnus arrived at Capital Star, but the news hasn’t come out yet.”

Jing Xi looked up at the screen; it was a social platform.

Actually, most military announcements wouldn’t be posted here, only things the public cared about more.

Interacting with the public so frequently recently was very rare.

Probably caused such huge attention because of this.

“Earliest after the 15th.” Jing Xi said calmly. “As long as Zhao doesn’t come to power, no one can save Chen Bingfeng.”

Chi Yao played with his hair, chuckling: “Such a person is too stupid. How did he become a lieutenant general?”

Jing Xi leaned relaxedly on his shoulder, heads touching.

“Big ambition, easy to manipulate. Many people like to find this type as pawns.”

Chi Yao looked at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

“Being a pawn of pawns, is this your way of survival?”

Jing Xi chuckled: “Saves a lot of trouble.”

Chi Yao: “…”

He looked up and kissed Jing Xi’s brow, laughing too: “Lord Major General, can you have a bit of ambition?”

Jing Xi tightened the arm around his waist.

“I’ll consider it.”

Rare leisure time, the two scrolled through social platforms, chatting idly.

“Really so many people worship space pirates.” Chi Yao sneered. “Brains broken?”

Jing Xi’s gaze swept over, dazzled by the screen full of “ahhhh”.

“If you looked like a monkey, no one would worship you.” Jing Xi’s voice was very flat.

Chi Yao: “You jealous?”

Jing Xi didn’t answer, finger sliding lightly to the next one.

Also blowing Extreme Shadow rainbow farts, the picture showing a street under reconstruction and hot tea held in palms at the very front.

Chi Yao sneered: “If I robbed a civilian spaceship, this group would turn around and curse at my nose.”

“That’s of course. Do you still want them to be grateful to you?” Jing Xi looked at the photo, voice low. “Ordinary people don’t care if you are a space pirate or a soldier; they only look at what you did.”

Arriving at Capital Star.

Flying Dragon fleet went to the military industrial planet for routine maintenance after reporting.

Chi Yao wanted to accompany Jing Xi to the military headquarters for reporting, but there were too many scanning devices there. His fake face would be caught as soon as he entered.

Helplessly, he went to Jing Xi’s residence first.

Haven’t seen the cat daughter for a while, Chi Yao was in a good mood.

Previously used Jing Xi’s body; this was his first time coming here in his own body.

Using the key Jing Xi gave, Chi Yao drove in openly through the main gate.

This small villa was the same as before. Robots trimmed front and back gardens regularly. Good-looking, but soulless.

Just stepping on the cobblestone path, a gaze full of killing intent was so strong Chi Yao couldn’t ignore it.

He turned to look.

At the end of the veranda on the right side of the house, a cat head stuck to the corner, glaring at him while sharpening claws on the wall.

Chi Yao: “…”

Cowardly yet fierce.

At the same time, Military Headquarters.

Jing Xi was suffering Zhao Hongyi’s severe reprimand.

“Do you know how much armament was snatched?!” Zhao Hongyi slammed the table for the fifth time, eyes red with anger. “Not only didn’t snatch the armaments back but let Extreme Shadow run away. What do you eat to do your job?!” (Useless)

Jing Xi put away the reported materials, saying calmly: “How much was snatched, you should ask Cygnus not me. As for you questioning my ability—at least I didn’t let Extreme Shadow snatch a single piece of armament from my hands.”

Zhao Hongyi: “It wasn’t you who was robbed, so you sit by and watch?! Whether Flying Dragon or Cygnus, both belong to the military. Do you want to seek independence?!”

Jing Xi: “Every legion has the responsibility to protect its own property, detailed down to responsibility agreements signed for every gun. For Cygnus losing a large batch of armaments, you should hold relevant personnel accountable, not yell at me.”

The pot thrown out was thrown back.

Zhao Hongyi slammed the table for the sixth time: “I am asking why you didn’t stop Extreme Shadow. Don’t pull other things on me! I will pursue others’ responsibilities too!”

Jing Xi: “From where do you know I didn’t stop them? Lieutenant General Chen said so?”

Zhao Hongyi didn’t speak, considering it tacit admission.

Jing Xi: “A commander who can’t even guard armaments, how credible are his words?”

His face was cold, but in Zhao Hongyi’s eyes, there was added mockery.

Just as he was about to speak, Pei Zhenyue couldn’t bear it anymore and interrupted.

“Old Zhao, you should stop while ahead, right?”

Zhao Hongyi looked over coldly.

Pei Zhenyue looked straight at him: “I don’t think a legion commander who just won a battle needs to accept such reprimand.”

Zhao Hongyi: “But he let Extreme Shadow go!”

Pei Zhenyue snorted: “Watch your wording! Chen Bingfeng, whom you value so much, was helpless against Extreme Shadow. Why do you think Jing Xi would have a way?”

Zhao Hongyi: “But Flying Dragon is familiar with Extreme Shadow—”

“Saying more only makes Chen Bingfeng appear more incompetent.” Pei Zhenyue’s face was cold, tone mocking. “Although loss of armaments is significant, some people even lost themselves. Compared to that, this isn’t a big deal.”

Zhao Hongyi gritted his teeth, speaking no more.

It just had to be that the two people he valued were both pitted by Extreme Shadow like this!

Pei Zhenyue and Jing Xi exchanged glances, continuing to the next reporting process.

Walking out of the conference hall, Pei Zhenyue stood at the door watching Zhao Hongyi storm off angrily. When Jing Xi came out, he stopped him.

“Come to my house for dinner tonight, a welcome reception for you.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Surrounding officers hearing this couldn’t help secretly looking over.

It was common for leaders to welcome back legion commanders returning from victory, but banquets were usually held at the headquarters, inviting many officers.

But inviting directly home—rather than a welcome reception, it was more like recruitment.

Admiral Pei was officially extending an olive branch to Jing Xi.

What others understood, Jing Xi naturally understood too.

But he promised to go to Grandpa’s house tomorrow, would definitely sleep there tomorrow night, and had things to do in the following days. Tonight he wanted to spend a two-person world with Chi Yao.

“No—” (time).

Before the word “time” came out, Pei Zhenyue said leisurely: “If you are afraid of getting drunk and unable to return, you can call that little assistant by your side.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Pei Zhenyue didn’t wait for his answer, walking away with hands behind his back.

“Six PM tonight. For the gift, I want 50-year-old plum brandy.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Bai Yi just came out after tidying up documents. Hearing this, he glanced at Jing Xi, caught up with Pei Zhenyue and laughed: “What welcome reception, I think you just covet the gift. Xiao Jing’s yearly salary isn’t enough to buy a bottle.”

Pei Zhenyue: “Don’t know how many times Jing Xi’s tax payment is of his salary. Anyway, no one in the military has more than him.”

Jing Xi: “…”

He suddenly understood why Chi Yao always cursed “dead old man”.

Returning home, Jing Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this hour, didn’t know if Chi Yao had already cooked and waited for him.

Thinking the person he missed was inside, Jing Xi instantly felt this cold house looked like home.

Opening the door, the imagined warmth was broken by ear-piercing cat screams and noise.

Rounding the vestibule, he saw a person and a cat fighting in the living room.

“Speak, which wild man bullied you?!” Chi Yao held the cat in front of his face, expression serious.

“Meow!”

Yao Yao pounced with a claw, showing no mercy.

“What’s wrong?” Jing Xi walked over.

Hearing the voice, Chi Yao turned the cat toward him: “Xi Xi, look at it, any changes?”

Jing Xi took the cat, holding it in the crook of his arm.

“Fatter.”

“Meow~”

Yao Yao, baring teeth just now, instantly became docile in Jing Xi’s arms.

“I thought so just now too.” Chi Yao walked to Jing Xi’s side, flipped open Yao Yao’s belly, poked gently, and got another cat scratch. “Look here.”

Jing Xi held the cat paw trying to attack Chi Yao, looked at its round belly, eyes flashing.

“Pregnant?”

Yao Yao seemed to understand his words, actively rubbing the owner’s palm.

Seeing Yao Yao finally let down guard and willing to expose its belly, Jing Xi signaled Chi Yao to touch quietly. Looking up, he saw his gloomy face.

Jing Xi: “…You aren’t happy?”

Chi Yao with a cold face: “Daughter got impregnated by an unknown man while I was away. You say if I’m happy?”

Jing Xi: “…”

Just speaking, a beautiful Ragdoll cat jumped into the backyard.

Seeing it, Yao Yao meowed wanting to jump down from Jing Xi’s hands.

“That’s the one?” Chi Yao rolled up sleeves and rushed out. “I’ll kill it.”

Jing Xi was quick, grabbing him, saying seriously: “Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.”

Chi Yao watched Yao Yao skillfully push the door out, getting intimate with the wild man.

“Then we ignore it?”

Jing Xi held his hand going to the kitchen.

“Rather than worrying about its belly, you might as well worry about my belly.”

Chi Yao stared at his belly: “You pregnant too?”

Jing Xi: “…”

Pei Zhenyue’s home was in the military district, not far away.

Jing Xi grabbed two bottles of plum brandy from the wine cellar and walked out with Chi Yao.

“Are you a drunkard, hiding so much wine?” Chi Yao drove the car out.

With military plates, the hovercar passed unimpeded in the military district.

Jing Xi: “Grandpa likes this. Unknowingly hoarded this much.”

Chi Yao looked ahead: “Pei Zhenyue might have guessed my identity.”

Jing Xi leaned back, rubbing his temple: “Be confident, remove ‘might’.”

Chi Yao chuckled: “You aren’t worried?”

Jing Xi: “He can’t manipulate me.”

Chi Yao: “Why?”

Jing Xi: “Because of that code you sent me.”

Chi Yao choked.

Sent the code worried Jing Xi might be made difficult, but didn’t intend to show his hand.

“Relax, I won’t ask.” Jing Xi turned to look at him. “Relieved?”

Chi Yao glanced at him, chuckling: “What do you think?”

Jing Xi said expressionlessly: “How did you get along with those lovers before?”

Chi Yao: “…”

What god-tier transition is this?

Jing Xi: “Always talked business too?”

Chi Yao thought seriously: “You said it’s spiritual love.”

Jing Xi: “So?”

Chi Yao: “Just stared at each other without speaking, communicating spiritually.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Arriving at Pei Zhenyue’s home in the military district, the exterior was ordinary. Except for being bigger than Jing Xi’s house, nothing special.

After knocking, Pei Zhenyue opened the door.

“Where’s the wine?”

Jing Xi: “…”

He handed the wine over: “Two bottles.”

Pei Zhenyue took them, happily taking them out, saying casually: “One bottle each?”

Jing Xi gave him a deep look: “Took too many, too lazy to put back, troublesome.”

Pei Zhenyue: “…”

Happily putting away the wine, Pei Zhenyue looked at Chi Yao.

“How’s the scenery on Capital Star?”

Chi Yao smiled composedly: “As long as I’m by his side, everywhere is good scenery.”

Pei Zhenyue snorted lightly.

Smooth talkers are dishonest.

Said it was a welcome reception, but only the three of them were at the dining table.

“Where is Madam?” Jing Xi asked.

Pei Zhenyue poured himself wine: “Went to my son’s house. Not around recently.”

Jing Xi filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Chi Yao.

“Not sour.”

Chi Yao put a piece of sweet and sour pork rib into Jing Xi’s bowl.

“Sour.”

Jing Xi glanced at his chopsticks.

“Stuck on your chopsticks.”

Chi Yao handed it to his mouth, smiling: “Then you lick it off for me?”

Jing Xi observed Pei Zhenyue’s reaction from the corner of his eye and opened his mouth.

Pei Zhenyue: “…”

What the fuck are these two brats here for?

Is there such a thing as feeding dog food (PDA) to elders?!

Suddenly, a extremely light sound came to their ears.

Chi Yao and Jing Xi’s expressions changed simultaneously.

Chi Yao kicked the chair leg; Pei Zhenyue and the chair moved two meters away.

Pew!

A tiny bullet hole was left where he originally sat.

Chi Yao grabbed an empty plate and flung it toward the window.

The gunman’s vision was blocked by the enlarging plate; the second shot missed again.

“Xi Xi, watch him.”

Chi Yao strode out.

Jing Xi: “Be careful.”

He turned to look at Pei Zhenyue. The back of the chair he sat on had risen above his head.

“This is?”

Pei Zhenyue got up, knocking on the chair back: “Bulletproof.”

Jing Xi frowned: “Not the first time?”

Pei Zhenyue shook his head, rolling up his sleeve.

A bandage was wrapped around his arm. Because of the movement just now, it started seeping blood again.

He didn’t say much, instead looking at Jing Xi smilingly.

“He looks very reliable.”

Jing Xi: “Need you say?”

Pei Zhenyue: “…”

A moment later, Chi Yao returned from outside carrying a beta male in uniform.

Chi Yao threw the bound person on the ground and looked at Pei Zhenyue.

“This is the military district defense?”

Seeing the person on the ground clearly, Pei Zhenyue smiled mockingly: “Indeed not good. Can’t guard against outsiders like you, nor our own people.”

“I’m not an outsider.” Chi Yao put his arm around Jing Xi’s shoulder. “He is my unmarried wife.”

Pei Zhenyue: “…”

He endured but couldn’t hold back: “Not married counts as what wife.”

Chi Yao/Jing Xi: “…”
