Chapter 72

Chapter 72

In response to his amnesia, the Canine Majesty summoned a diagnostic physician.

The doctor conducted a series of examinations on him.

During the checkup, Lu Wei suddenly smacked his forehead. "I was wondering who the Queen was; doesn't that make the potato mine?"

Doctor: ?

The Canine Majesty asked, "Hm?"

Lu Wei didn't bother explaining further.

Instead, he happily began planning his perfect Potato Planet.

Within just a few minutes, he had already figured out which dishes could incorporate potatoes and what new dishes he could create with them.

Amidst his delight, the Terran's face lit up as he smiled more at the doctor.

The doctor cautiously observed the Emperor's expression before timidly asking, "Amnesia?"

The Terran scratched his head. "Seems like it, right?"

"Does it affect my brain?" Lu Wei asked with concern. "Actually, I feel like my brain is functioning normally."

The doctor explained, "From the current examination, there doesn't seem to be any impact on your brain. However, we're not sure what species you are; there are some blank fields in the examination data, so it's hard to say for certain."

Lu Wei blinked. "I'm from a backwater planet."

Under the intimidating gaze, the doctor continued his questioning.

"How long have you had amnesia?"

"Over two years," replied Lu Wei.

After obtaining some basic information, the doctor had Lu Wei lie down on the diagnostic machine for a thorough examination.

The doctor began to explain to them.

Didn't he say that he was kidnapped at the time, and then the spaceship entered the Universal Halo?

It was likely that he was teleported to the Z galaxy during that instance. The spaceship couldn't withstand the immense radiation and pressure and broke apart in the Z galaxy. Everyone inside the spaceship should have died for sure, but Lu Wei was in a pod at that moment.

Pods were designed to alter brain waves and alleviate pain. Presumably, the emergency protection measures activated after the collision, inadvertently causing negative effects on his brain due to the circumstances.

Thus, while it protected his life, it also caused other damages.

Lu Wei: "What spaceship?"

His Majesty the Dog, with a grim expression, added from the side, "You were kidnapped back then."

Lu Wei: "What the f*ck."

Lu Wei: "Who was it? Who took me?"

With nothing but his own lightness, Lu Wei has nothing to offer; there's no point in abducting him.

Abducting him would only mean he'd be enslaved like an ox or a horse, good for nothing else.

The doctor's expression shifted: "Back then, you were the Queen..."

The Earthling suddenly recalled that, indeed, that was how the setting went.

"So they were after the dog... Your Majesty, and I was just collateral damage?"

The doctor: ...

"Well, one could put it that way."

The Dog Emperor, nonchalant, interjected, "Don't worry, they're all taken care of."

Lu Wei was startled by the Emperor's casual tone about killing: "How many were there?"

A barely noticeable curve formed at the corner of the Dog Emperor's mouth: "It was a group effort. The elder one courted death on his own, while his offspring tried to escape but were all captured. Some were stubborn till the end, so I granted them their passage."

Lu Wei didn't inquire about the specifics of the solution, sensing that the atmosphere was off.

Such an act of exterminating entire families was inconceivable for Earthlings to judge, but he felt no pity for those individuals in his heart.

Realizing his own thoughts, Lu Wei was taken aback.

No way, could it be that deep down, he actually loved this person so much that even such absurdity could be justified?

In a stiff tone, Lu Wei commented, "Well, killing is never a good thing, huh."

His Majesty's playful laughter followed, "Oh, I see."

Comparing his experience, Lu Wei asked curiously, "Then, how come that capsule was of such high quality?"

The doctor nodded, "Of course, it was manufactured by —"

Before he could finish, His Majesty's deadly gaze cut him short.

The doctor quickly shut up, embarrassed.

Lu Wei: "Divide what?"

The doctor observed the assailant's expression as he explained slowly, "It's a protective sleep capsule that automatically separates into emergency pods in case of danger."

Lu Wei approved.

Seeing such advanced safety measures for a sleep capsule, it was evident that Emperor Star had an excellent security system in place.

The doctor couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for his situation.

In truth, one could be easily found anywhere in the galaxy except for a few underdeveloped planets in the Z system where not all residents had universal access to the Star Network and registration. Coupled with the fact that the Queen had lost her memory due to the emergency protocol of the birthing capsule, it was like stacking multiple disadvantages against them.

The lazy king gazed at him, propping his chin in his hand, and said, "She was already silly, now she'll be even more so."

Lu Wei couldn't tolerate this arrogance anymore. "What the hell do you mean by that?"

Speaking of colliding with Wu Star—

The irresponsible father suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering, "Oh right, your child is still on Wu Star. Should we bring him over? It's been three or four days since I was abducted. Who knows if he's alright being alone there."

The Canine Majesty promptly replied, "I won't be receiving him."

Lu Wei spoke with earnest concern, "He's only two and a half years old. It's dangerous. You should still send someone to pick him up. Otherwise, I can go myself."

The Canine Majesty yawned. "Two and a half? He still can't feed or bathe himself?"

Lu Wei sighed. "Someone needs to keep an eye on him; otherwise, he might choke while eating, and he needs supervision when bathing. What if he drowns?"

Hmph.

Two and a half years old.

Not to mention his child, but even in the interstellar world, most children at that age would have learned these basic skills.

—Unless it was all an act.

The Canine Majesty sneered. "It's not the same if he's not raised by my side."

Just look at the one who was raised by his side.

Now, how obedient.

Lu Wei disapproved. "You can't say that. Danjiao has been trying, but just hasn't learned it yet. Besides, there's no need to be so strict with kids; they tend to hold grudges."

"A lenient mother spoils her child."

That phrase was a perfect, direct hit at the Earthlings' sensitivities.

Whose lenient mother??

Who??

For the first time in days, Lu Wei truly transformed into a fiery pepper. "You only said it once? Damn, who do you think I am?"

Despite repeatedly reminding himself to endure, he had been repeatedly provoked.

Hehe.

Lu Wei, a fusion of new and old flames: "I've had enough of your inexplicable and sarcastic behavior. Damn, who the hell said everyone has to cater to you? It's bizarre how people find it abnormal for a two-and-a-half-year-old not to be able to take care of themselves. Why do you have to comment on that?"

Fiery Pepper.

Two and a half years later, the official restart began.

The doctor had vaguely heard before that the Queen dared to scold the Emperor, but this was the first time he witnessed it firsthand.

It was a shocking spectacle.

Afraid of being implicated, the wise doctor discreetly packed up his equipment and left.

Being knowledgeable, he knew that staying any longer would result in him being dragged into a "join him in his grave" situation.

When Lu Wei was enraged, his characteristics were highly distinctive; his eyes would shine as if tiny flames were genuinely flickering within them while he cursed.

There was a subtle difference from his usual composed demeanor.

However, the one being cursed at was also quite mentally unbalanced.

For some inexplicable reason, he started laughing after being scolded.

It wasn't a sarcastic laugh; it was a genuine one.

He laughed so hard that he could barely catch his breath.

The Dog Emperor's voice was tinged with amusement: "Y-You, scold me again."

Lu Wei: ?

This left him feeling rather uneasy.

"You think I'll just lau..."

The Dog Emperor nodded: "Lu Wei, keep scolding me like this a few more times."

"I should just curse at you when you tell me to?"

Dog Emperor: "Do as you please. You used to scold me whenever you felt like it anyway."

Lu Wei: "Haha."

So it turned out that his true nature had been revealed before.

As expected of him.

Lu Wei was somewhat curious, "Should I still scold you then?"

The Canine Emperor smiled, "However you scolded me in the past, that's how you'll do it now."

His expression seemed to say, 'There's no need for you to put on an act in front of me; we're already too familiar.'

Lu Wei: "Well, to be honest, I really can't recall much about my past. I could remember a bit when I was on Wu Star, but since arriving here, I can't seem to recollect anything."

The hint of a smile on the Canine Emperor's face vanished, replaced by a neutral expression.

"You're not trying hard enough."

Lu Wei spoke sincerely, "I am trying."

Emperor Pup: "No."

"But there is."

"Definitely not."

Lu Wei held up four fingers. "Liars are puppy dogs."

So Emperor Pup looked at him with an expression that seemed to read, "You're the puppy dog."

Damn, how childish.

Lu Wei turned away, not bothering to respond.

The Terran stroked his chin. "To be honest, I've been having bits and pieces of memories resurface lately. They pop up in my dreams, but they don't seem to have anything to do with you."

Emperor Pup: "Huh."

Lu Wei: "I remember someone – a man, quite tall, and a bit comical. I think I scolded him once. There was this one time when I thought it was you, but then he turned around, and it wasn't."

Huo Jin narrowed his eyes, swiftly connecting the dots with this information.

While on Emperor Star, Lu Wei rarely ventured out, so the people he could encounter were limited to a few.

His description was clear enough – an aide.

The Dog Emperor pinched his neck in a menacing manner, warning, "Don't think about it anymore."

Lu Wei continued, "There was also a plump uncle in the kitchen who seemed like he caught me doing something wrong. I remember feeling guilty at that time..."

This only fueled the other party's discontentment.

"You only think of these two?"

His tone was sinister, as if the words themselves wriggled with malice.

Lu Wei scratched his head. "And there was a little maid sister—"

The Dog Emperor's pupils darkened significantly, hinting at a faint trace of aggression within.

"It seems I'll have to teach you through action."

Lu Wei: "Huh?"

True to his words, this formidable figure actually pinned him down completely.

Wait, not like that.

Is this necessary?

An Earthling like Lu Wei didn't usually associate himself with the term "delicate and pliable," but compared to His Majesty the Dog, he really did feel that way, damn it.

Well, it was happening now.

During the process, Lu Wei was even grabbed by the hair and asked who he was.

He couldn't reveal his name, and calling His Majesty the Dog by that title was also out of the question.

Damn it.

"Who else could you be thinking of?" he pressed, "The adjutant, hmm?"

All Lu Wei could do was silently scream within his heart.

Damn it, who the hell is this adjutant?

Meanwhile, the adjutant had just returned to Emperor Star after a trip.

He felt refreshed and invigorated after successfully avoiding the Emperor's episode.

As soon as he set foot on the familiar soil of his home planet, a shiver ran down his spine.
