Chapter 55

4.16 - The entire star galaxy will know that I am yours

Just as Xue Ling was about to dismember the system, the door opened to reveal an Augustine who was in great spirits. Looking at his lively appearance, Xue Ling's lips twitched.

He subconsciously reached back to touch the glands at the back of his neck. They had been entangled together for five days,completely absorbed in their desire. By the time they had remembered that marking required biting at the glands, it had already been the fifth day. Xue Ling felt that he would remember that kind of feeling even when he went to the next world.

After all, it was too stimulating. Even more intense than simply having his brain go blank.

Xue Ling hunched his neck and waved his hand as he said, "You came at just the right time. Someone just gave me some information. We can take a look at it together."

Augustine brought food with him. He was fine even after five days of activity, but he knew that Xue Ling would definitely be unable to bear it, so he had ordered people to prepare nutrients after he woke up, and had left just now to bring everything over.

Xue Ling ignored those things, opened up the information from Antalya, and was deeply shocked by the stories hidden within this plot.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

If this was all caused by the world's own ability to auto correct and fill in the plotlines, then he could only praise it for being reasonable and irrefutable.

It was not easy to investigate an orphan, let alone one who had a clear story from childhood up till adulthood, and who seemed to be extremely diligent, brave and patriotic. So, Antalya stopped looking into Russell and started investigating the people around him, and found some clues.

Russell's life went a bit too smoothly.

When he was young, he met a kind retiree in the mecha factory who helped him study and gave him pointers. When he couldn't afford the tuition fee, he suddenly discovered a valuable item thing in a stall and successfully scraped together the money. Looking at his life for over the past decade, one would find that whenever he met an obstacle that he would not be able to resolve himself, he would ultimately make it through thanks to his good luck.

Xue Ling felt that this was the protagonist's halo in play, but Antalya did not know that. She felt that such a person was too deliberate and therefore suspicious. It would be difficult to find one or two such strong people amongst the common people, let alone in the slums.

Fortunately, as long as one put in the effort, even the smallest trail could be traced. Coupled with the various reports from the battlefield where Russel was born, Antalya reached a fantastic conclusion.

Russell was the only remaining son of Arthur Green, a powerful man and a five star General from the same era as the King. Because his wife and child had died in the war more than a decade ago, he had no desire for fame and fortune, and no interest in the Alliance or the Empire.

Yes, he was the child who had supposedly died on the battlefield.

Over the years, the Alliance's civil strife had been very serious. Five-star generals all plotted and colluded against each other, and all kinds of tricks were used. If the child had been raised in the Alliance, he would either have been married off, or been unable to make it to his current age. Arthur has already lost the love of his life, and he couldn't bear to have his child, a delicate baby who should have been pampered and spoiled growing up, be destroyed in the Alliance.

So he steeled his heart and set up a ploy, deceiving everyone in both the Alliance and the Empire.

He registered this child that was born as an omega as a beta infant and sent him into an orphanage in the Empire as an orphan from the battlefield so that he would be given the best care before he became old enough to take care of himself.

Since then, he had constantly been planting various kinds of people around Russell in order to cultivate his positive personality and guide him along the path he wished him to follow.

But there was one step where General Arthur fell short. He did not expect the Empire's Prince to fall onto the planet where Russell lived due to a Zerg attack, nor did he expect that Russell, who had been trained by him from childhood to have a strong sense of justice, would pick him up and ultimately lead to the two of them developing feelings for each other.

His plan had originally been for Russell to study in the Empire, and when he grew up to the point where nobody could move him, the General would acknowledge him and bring him back to the Alliance.

For this reason, he even sent his most trusted alpha to the Empire with orders to pursue him after Russell had entered school and mark him when his heat arrived.

Luther shuddered under Russell's touch, and he stiffly wrapped his arms around Russell to hug him, his heart filled with endless grief. He had originally thought he could give Russell happiness and good fortune by restoring his memory, but now it seemed that they might have been better off staying on that poor planet.

At least they would still be able to live safely.

While these two men were busy being sentimental, Xue Ling looked down and asked the system, "Do I look like a big villain? The type who first tortures the protagonist's body, and then still insists on tormenting their spirit."

"As long as you don't lose your mind and let them out so that they have a chance to make a comeback," The system was already very certain that the plot had no chance of reversal, "Then you would be the most successful villain."

Xue Ling smiled and took out the information that he had ordered people to print out for him earlier and placed it in front of them. "I might be disturbing you two, but there is something I regrettably must inform you of."

"What else do you want to do?" Luther now had a certain feeling of despair. He was impotent, and in front of the once invincible Emperor of the galaxy, his little bit of power was useless. Other than being confined here for the next half of his life, Luther did not feel that he would have any other endings.

Fortunately, the other party let him see Russell. "These things have nothing to do with Russell. All you want is the royal family. Now that I'm in your hands, you should let him go."

"We don't plan to do anything to him either." Xue Ling squatted in front of him, and brought up the information in his hand. "But since he's not a person of the Empire, he shouldn't be staying in the Empire. So, we'll send Young Master Russell back."

"If General Arthur knew that he was in our hands, he would be happy to pay out something in order to facilitate his smooth return."

"What do you mean by that?!"

"Exactly what I said."

After tossing all the information to the two people inside, Xue Ling no longer cared about the protagonist gong and protagonist shou. They were no threat to him at all. As long as they were separated, their love and whatever else would be pointless. The Prince was left without his career and lover, not to mention his lower half had already been wasted and he could not have children. They were already no longer part of the game.

The only thing remaining was the Zerg.

Suddenly, Xue Ling stopped his steps. He turned around and grabbed the man's collar, to make him look down towards himself. "You promised me before that you would kill the Zerg?"

"Yes. I promised you."

Xue Ling curved his lips and kissed him in satisfaction, happily commanding him, "Go then, I'll agree to marry you on the day that you've killed them all and they've become extinct."

Augustine reached out and lifted him up by the waist. He lowered his head to press his forehead against his, and asked, "So, this doesn't count as us being married?"

"Well, we can consider this as a trial period." Xue Ling rubbed his fingertips across his lips, teasingly, and extremely fearlessly. "When the Zerg are destroyed, you can propose to me in front all the stars, and then I will agree. This way..." He dragged his words on for a little longer. "The entire star galaxy will know that I am yours."

And they will all know, that you are mine.

Augustine looked at the young man in his arms who willfully wanted to make a public display, laughed softly, and lowered his head to kiss him on the lips.

"Good, I promise."
