Chapter 35

Chapter 35

The adjutant had no idea how long they had been running or fleeing.

At last, a glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon.

In the distance, they saw a starship approaching their direction.

The vessel drew closer and closer, until it hesitated and finally landed.

The hatch opened, and Lu Wei rushed out, covering his stomach.

The adjutant, panting heavily, exclaimed, "M-Mr. Lu!"

Lu Wei had already heard about what had transpired and immediately asked, "Where's His Majesty the Dog?"

The translation guide was utterly exhausted and lay on the ground like a lifeless dog, gasping for breath.

Startled, it was struck dumb.

In these mere two days, His Majesty had left an impression on it akin to a malevolent demon.

Hence, hearing someone address him as such filled it with nothing but dread.

Translation Guide: "The Emperor Star's adjutant, who might this be?"

The adjutant heaved a sigh of relief. "His Majesty's queen."

Translation Guide: ????

His Majesty also has a queen? Someone actually married this fearsome Asura-like being?

It was utterly stunned for ten thousand years!

Lu Wei didn't recognize this purplish creature, but he sensed an admiring gaze from it.

As if it were looking at some incredible hero who had tamed a devil, the little stars in its starry eyes seemed ready to soar out.

Lu Wei: ??

The aide briefly recounted the subsequent events to him.

The Emperor seemed to possess boundless energy, still searching for his next prey.

Sitting on the ground, covered in dust, the aide was on the verge of tears: "Mr. Lu, it's all up to you this time!"

Lu Wei's attire was also somewhat disheveled. Nonetheless, he couldn't help but comment, "Why is it that every time you come looking for me, it's always in a life-or-death situation? I haven't settled the score with you for that stab in the back last time!"

Heading in the opposite direction, Lu Wei walked towards the source of the deepening purple hue.

From the perspective of the aide and the creature behind him, Lu Wei's departing figure was like a savior.

My God!

As Lu Wei walked, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The ground was littered with purple bloodstains. Due to the varying times they were shed, some had already congealed into a deeper shade, while others remained vividly bright, creating a striking contrast of depths.

Isn't that even more terrifying?

Lu Wei's stomach was already uneasy due to the swill, and pregnancy made him even more sensitive to such stimuli.

Under these circumstances, he could only move forward while retching.

Adding to the oddity and disgust, the blood of this purple creature had a floral scent.

In the heart of the region where the wary king resided,

The king stood in heated confrontation with soldiers who were seasoned in combat.

plutôt que de dire qu'ils se confrontaient, il serait plus précis de dire qu'il s'agissait d'une chasse unilatérale.

The remaining forces, still capable of action, could only watch from a distance. Countless anxious and solemn eyes were fixed on the direction of the source of the rampage.

Their surprise grew as a young man, dressed in loose clothing, appeared, supporting his lower abdomen as he ventured deeper into the heart of the chaos.

Within that might lurk the greatest peril.

"Who is that person? Why did they suddenly appear and approach His Majesty?"

"Which military unit does he belong to? Quickly use the communication device to order him to retreat!"

"He's not in uniform and has no identification number. He's not a soldier. How did he end up there?"

"He doesn't resemble any life form from the G star system. How did he manage to get here?"

"Goodness, that person's abdomen seems swollen. It looks like they're pregnant. We can't allow this under such circumstances; it's far too dangerous!"

As Lu Wei stepped in, he heard the amplified voice over the public address system:

"The Emperor Star's unpredictable ruler is inside. For your own safety, do not proceed further!"

Lu Wei's words went unheard, so he could only wave at them in response.

Confused soldiers: ?

This seems to be an Emperor Star receptacle.

But...?

When did the Emperor Star's receptacles become so fearless of danger, even carrying a child and acting recklessly?

They continued to warn the mysterious receptacle: "Come out now! The danger inside is beyond your imagination!"

Their broadcast seemed to have caught the attention of Their Majesty.

The military officer made a swift decision: "Contact Emperor Star immediately to find Senator Delphi. See if we can mobilize assistance from Blue Star. We cannot oppose His Majesty in his current state."

Primarily, Their Majesty had lost reason and was suffering from a more excruciating genetic illness than usual, making self-control even more challenging.

Receptacles with SSS-grade genetic illnesses like Their Majesty, who could still maintain some level of self-control, were rare. If the condition were further exacerbated, it would be difficult for anyone in the entire galaxy to intervene.

Preventing harm was one concern, but they were even more worried about His Majesty having a tendency towards self-destruction. After all, an SSS-grade gene was wildly unpredictable, and anything could happen.

"The message has already been sent back to Emperor Star, and the senator is taking it seriously. He's dispatching more personnel, but he admits it might not be enough. Given His Majesty's condition this time, the prospects don't look good."

"Let's do whatever we can."

Beyond that, all they could do was wait and see what fate had in store.

All eyes were on the Earthling, yet he was oblivious to their gazes, for he was currently under the scrutiny of His Majesty.

It was an unfamiliar gaze, one he had never seen from the king before.

Detached, yet with a hint of appraisal.

Lu Wei: "..."

This was rather intimidating. Normally, His Majesty, the canine king, wouldn't display such an demeanor.

The distance between the two of them continued to shrink.

"It's too late, it's utterly too late!"

"We're doomed now."

The officers on the periphery knew that there was no turning back. After all, it was their Majesty, and when in a fit of rage, he could shatter anything, let alone a pregnant youth.

Run, quickly run—

And then, under everyone's watchful eyes.

Not only did the young man not flee, he took several large strides closer to that spot.

Lu Wei shouted, "Huo Jin!"

This cry left the onlookers bewildered.

Was their king's name actually Huo Jin?

It wasn't entirely their fault; no one had ever dared to address him by his given name directly.

This gesture left them all baffled. Not only did they not retreat in fear, they even stepped closer and then called out the king's full name as if greeting a spouse after work.

The king glanced over at Lu Wei but did not respond.

There was a reaction to the name, but it was minimal.

The king's crimson eyes remained fixed on him, his emotions unreadable beneath their intensity.

Lu Wei: "You..."

He couldn't help but take a step back.

Not only had the being become more fierce and primal, but its language also seemed less comprehensible.

It wasn't that the Earthling was afraid; rather, he sensed an exceptionally wild and uninhibited aura emanating from the other party.

This aura provoked a response within him and the child growing in his womb.

The king continued to stare, then narrowed his eyes as he appraised Lu Wei closely.

"Exactly..."

Before Lu Wei could utter a word, the man, who had been at a distance, suddenly materialized right in front of him in the next instant.

Then, he lowered his head to inhale the scent from Lu Wei's neck.

Lu Wei was unaware of any particularly appealing scent on him that would warrant such continuous sniffing, as if the man had caught a whiff of something delectable.

The king gazed down at him with a dominant air before pulling him into an embrace.

Like a wolf with gleaming eyes, eagerly awaiting the feast of a treasured piece of meat.

Lu Wei: ????

Lu Wei: "Huo Jin!"

The soldiers outside were witnessing this scene with fearful expressions.

After all, fertile males were a rare commodity on Emperor Star.

It seemed like this person was about to be done for.

Then, they saw that His Majesty indeed only sniffed without any intention of harming him: "…?"

The scent emanating from this person was overly enchanting.

Not only was it the person's natural fragrance, but it also carried a hint of milkiness.

He was already going crazy just from inhaling it.

At this moment, in his eyes, this person was like an irresistible dessert.

Lu Wei pushed him away.

The monarch stared at him with bloodshot eyes, "Come here."

Lu Wei: "…."

To be honest, if a normal person were standing there, witnessing this scene, they would undoubtedly feel a chill down their spine.

He stood amidst a sea of purple blood, the air perfumed with flowers yet tainted by an almost imperceptible scent of iron. His clothes were disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, and the exposed muscles testament to a surging strength beneath.

However, perhaps due to their intimate connection, Lu Wei could sense that he was far from alright. He was in great distress, even weeping.

Standing firm, Lu Wei shouted, "If you dare to die here today, I'll find someone else while pregnant, and I won't care if your child takes another's surname or gets hit by him!"

His voice was loud enough to carry straight to the other party.

The king didn't seem to be in a good state, but clearly, he understood Lu Wei's words to some extent. This was evident from the further darkening of his crimson gaze.

"Behave," he croaked, his voice rough, sending a tingling sensation when it reached one's ears.

He lifted his gaze to look at him as if he had just spotted a delectable treat shackled away. "Are you with child?"

Lu Wei: "Nonsense."

The king's expression was grim, lost in thought. He only stared at Lu Wei with his dark eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Lu Wei and scooped him up in his arms.

Then, they left the center of all those watchful eyes.

Seeing this, the military officials who were monitoring the scene were dumbfounded. "…"

"Where did that young man go??"

"I have no idea."

It was over. Everything was ruined now.

This person was as good as dead.

The ailing monarch, already prone to indiscriminate attacks, was now in an unprecedented state. No one could predict how he would treat the young man before him.

Should anything go wrong, it would be a loss for the entire Emperor Star.

Lu Wei, presumed doomed, was taken to a remote corner.

He was placed on the ground, covered with animal hides.

He was certain that just a moment ago, he was still at a safe distance from Emperor Dog, yet now he found himself entirely ensnared.

The monarch held him tightly in a possessive embrace, as if to claim him as his own.

Well, even with reduced intelligence, he knew how to restrict Lu Wei's freedom.

The king simply held him captive, sniffing at his scent, seemingly driven by an overwhelming possessiveness.

This position seemed more conducive to questioning.

Lu Wei tapped his head and asked, "Did you keep me here because I can alleviate your headaches?"

The intensifying illness seemed to have dulled His Majesty's wits, for he merely shook his head at the question.

Lu Wei asked again, "Did you marry me solely because I'm carrying your child?"

If the answer was yes, Lu Wei would pack his bags and leave without hesitation.

But His Majesty didn't seem intent on addressing Lu Wei's inquiry. Instead, he gazed at him with bloodshot eyes, as if regarding a piece of flesh.

He replied tersely, "You, mine."

As he spoke, he gently rubbed Lu Wei's belly.

Lu Wei found the situation amusing. "You'd even raise someone else's child, you idiot."

The clingy Emperor didn't respond verbally but nuzzled against Lu Wei, burying his head in the crook of his neck, as if seeking comfort there.

Though he didn't speak further, his avoidance of touching Lu Wei's belly spoke volumes.

Lu Wei pointed to his stomach. "You said you'd break his legs if he were someone else's child. Does that mean you won't harm this one now? Are you planning to keep him around just to be an eyesore?"

The king gazed at him, though his mental state was unstable, he still managed to flash an expression of disdain.

"Too delicate."

Lu Wei: ???

Was he too delicate to have an abortion? So why did this damn king always think he was delicate?

The king's actions reflected his words, even when rubbing his belly, he used less force as if Lu Wei would be hurt with a bit more pressure.

"My own."

He nibbled on Lu Wei's ear, exhaling hot breath that tickled the earlobe, causing a shiver and itchiness.

It was like marking territory, leaving love bites everywhere.

Kissing alone wasn't enough, he had to bite too. Though not overly hard, it still left marks.

"Damn, are you a dog or something?"

Lu Wei attempted to break free slightly, but he was held too tightly, unable to escape.

Let the Canine Sovereign finally revert to his beastly nature and pin him completely beneath.

His eyes fixated on him, "Mine."

"…Okay, okay, okay."

Brother wasn't particularly fond of him, nor did he have an immense desire to care for him.

Mainly, if this guy kept acting like this, it would be too much of a hindrance.

He'd just indulge him for now.

After the vow, Lu Wei stared at the bulging belly, "This isn't yours."

He placed the other's hand on his slightly rounded abdomen, "It's yours."

The king wore a disdainful expression, "No, it's not."

Lu Wei: "I already said it's yours!"

Does this guy have a thing for being cuckolded??

The monarch looked at him again: "You'll bear me a child?"

Earth Bro's face was flushed with embarrassment: "If I have to, damn it, I carried it in my womb for you."

"Mine?"

"If you ask again, I'll change its surname."
