One hour ago —
Hara was planning to chat with Xingfu after Silin entered his study, but he noticed the cat's furtive movements and asked, "What are you looking for, little fat cat?"
Of course I'm looking for food!
Still, Huimao knew how to hide his true intentions. After scanning his surroundings for a moment, Huimao said in a self-righteous tone, "Of course I'm looking at your paintings! Your paintings aren't that great after all. "
Xingfu turned his head away. How could he say something like that?!
Xingfu didn't bother looking at Hara's expression. He was sitting next to Hara, and he could tell that Hara wasn't angry after hearing Xingfu's words, but there was something different about the easygoing attitude he used to have. He still cared.
Hara raised an eyebrow a little, but the smile on his face didn't fade. "Oh?"
Huimao raised his chin and pointed a paw at a painting hanging on the wall. "That one is terrible."
Hara followed the cat's paw and looked at the painting. It was a painting he'd made on a whim when he went to the sea for a stroll. He'd used edible seaweed powder and various kinds of powdered sugar. The painting was of a blue ocean with waves crashing against each other. If one were to get close, they would be able to smell the sea breeze. It was refreshing, but not fishy.
There were a lot of different smells, but they weren't disgusting. Every visitor would be able to smell different scents and experience different emotions when they walked around the room, and the main reason for this effect was the paintings hanging on the wall. It was an art of combining scents. It might seem simple, but it was actually incredibly difficult. It was something Hara had always been proud of.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to give me some pointers." Hara was still smiling as he removed the cover on the painting.
Huimao wagged his tail and trotted over to the painting. Then, he leaped up and nailed his paw to the wall. Perhaps it was because of his size, but Huimao slid down a little after he leaped onto the wall. Xingfu and Hara were just about to get up to catch him, but the cat quickly regained its footing and scuttled back up the wall.
After circling the painting once, Huimao stuck out his tongue and licked it.
Therefore, when Silin opened the door, he saw the holes made by the cat's claws on the wall. The cat licked the powdered sugar stuck to its fur and raised its paw to point at the painting that had been licked. It said in an authoritative tone, "Sea beasts look like this, meow!"
His words were filled with righteousness.
On the painting that had been licked by Huimao, the powdered sugar had been licked away, revealing the dark background underneath. The shape formed by this dark background was exactly how Blue Skin looked when he swung his tail and swam upright.
Probably no one would think that it was an overlord of the sea, but a seal for people's entertainment.
Silin walked over and unscrewed the Huimao from the wall. He apologized to Hara, "I'm really sorry for the trouble."
Hara chuckled and waved his hand. "It's fine, it's fine. That little seal sure knows how to lick. "
Huimao was licking his claws when Silin grabbed the back of his neck. When he heard Hara's words, he immediately bristled. "That's a sea beast! A sea beast! It's the overlord of the sea! Do you understand, fatty?! "
Xingfu lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything. There weren't many people in the League of Stars who dared to call Hara a fatty in front of his face.
Cillin pinched Wheeze's toothy mouth and said to Hara, "It doesn't really know how to express itself, and it's terrible at drawing. That being said," Cillin pointed at the image of a seal swimming upright with its tail wagging, "That is indeed what a big sea beast did."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Have you looked through the contents of the notebook, Silin?" Hara asked. He didn't think much of the sea beast that Silin and Huimao were talking about.
Silin nodded. "Yes, I have. I know a thing or two about my master's departure."
Hara let out a long sigh and told Silin and Xingfu some things that weren't recorded in the notebook.
Not long after the 'Butterfly Kiss', Genya left Sector S with Hara's help. Hara never made another 'Butterfly Kiss' after that. Hara had always felt guilty towards Gensheng because he was the one who made Genya leave Sector S.
Angenia hated Hara a lot because of this. However, Hara would always make some food for Yuansheng's birthday, and he gave Xingfu and Xingji his own food for them when they were ten years old.
Xingfu realized that Hara was making food for them because of his father, Gensheng. Hara probably wouldn't do it even if he was the "Queen"'s grandson.
"Where is Genya now? Can't Angenia and I bring him back? "Hara asked stubbornly.
"No." Silin thought for a moment before asking Hara, "Master hasn't told you about his family, has he?"
"He rarely mentions his family, not even in front of Angenia."
"Master's background is actually much bigger than you can imagine. Even if the three great forces of Sector S were to join forces, they may not necessarily be able to beat the Gen Family. You'll know when he comes back. "
Back in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire, Silin had seen the Gen Family's private army. However, the Three Kings rarely mobilized their private army, so most people didn't know how powerful they were. That being said, there was no way a royal family would be weak.
The problem was that the Gen Family would definitely send a large number of their private army to accompany Genya, but they weren't sure if the spacetime vortex could allow a large number of troops to pass through. Moon and Shi Tang had been studying this problem for a long time, and they should be able to come to a conclusion soon.
Hara decided to tag along when he learned that Silin was going to visit Angenia and Gensheng. He was planning to visit Gensheng in the near future anyway.
Hara also gave Silin a gift. It was a square box about ten centimeters long, and there were a couple of pills inside it. They might look small, but they could save a person's life at a critical moment. It was a kind of handmade food made by Hara himself, and every single one of them contained the perfect amount of nutrients to support a person's energy needs for three to five days. It was a great item for a Hunter who often traveled the universe. Plus, there was no way the Food King's food would be bad.
Snarker was feeling incredibly complicated when he saw off Cillin's group at the waterway entrance. He didn't expect to see Hara here. It would be impossible for the higher-ups of Flying Snake not to know about this, but the problem was that Tsiegeyou didn't! It looked like Tsiegeyou wasn't at the top of Flying Snake's management just yet. We still need to work hard, everyone.
Golden Beginning's headquarters.
Gensheng was busy dealing with some matters at hand. At the same time, he was wondering what Hara meant by that. Who was that young man that Food King treated him differently?
His personal communicator rang while he was thinking. It was Xingfu.
Two minutes later.
The bodyguards standing guard outside Gensheng's room saw their usually calm boss run out of the room in a hurry, giving orders to his subordinates as he ran. It looked like he was going to pick up someone.
Everyone in Golden Beginning's headquarters was in an uproar because the "Queen", who hadn't shown herself for a long time, had finally shown up! Moreover, both the "Queen" and Gensheng looked very excited. Apparently, the "Queen" had been smiling a lot more recently than before. Everyone in Golden Beginning's headquarters was very curious. Just who was it that could cause these two to behave like this?
It didn't take long for everyone to receive the news. Young Master Xingfu was coming back. The young masters of Luxurious and Limitless were also there to discuss the collaboration. Food King Hara was also coming with them. The people in Golden Beginning were much more familiar with Food King Hara, so they weren't too curious about him. After all, the "Queen" and Gensheng shouldn't be this excited just because of a few people, right?
When the starships arrived, "Queen" Angenia and the current boss of Golden Beginning, Gensheng, personally stood at the entrance to welcome them. The other spaceships that landed one after another didn't elicit much reaction from either of them, even though Xingfu and Food King Hara were among them.
When the last aircraft landed, Angenia and Gensheng had already walked over to it before it even landed. Everyone in Golden Beginning craned their necks to see just who it was that could make two of Golden Beginning's bosses personally welcome them.
The aircraft did not seem to be anything special. The hatch opened, and under everyone's expectations, a gray cat jumped out. It stuck out its fat butt and stretched its body. After scanning its surroundings, it calmly squatted down and licked its paws.
Everyone: "..."
It didn't take long for a group of people to walk out of the spaceship. Angenia and Gensheng immediately went up to greet them.
Cillin stared at the two people who were walking towards them with uncontrollable excitement. Angenia might have been arrogant and domineering when she was younger, but right now, even though she didn't look old on the surface, her mental state had grown to a whole new level. She might be smiling gently, but her aura was inviolable.
Gensheng, on the other hand, exuded the aura of a superior under Angenia's tutelage. It had nothing to do with his own strength.
If there was anything strange about them, it would be their appearances. Gensheng's sideburns had turned white, and Angenia looked more like brother and sister than mother and son.
"You … you're Genya's disciple, Silin?" Angenia asked in a trembling voice.
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Silin saluted her.
Angenia had seen this salutation before. Genya had taught her this before, and he said that it was a custom from his hometown. Angenia's gaze fell on Silin's left thumb. The familiar curly leaf pattern on it brought tears to her eyes.
Then, everyone saw their "queen" holding a young man's hand with reddened eyes. No one knew what she was saying.
It's … so strange.
Is he an illegitimate child? No, an illegitimate grandchild? But Young Master Xingfu and Boss Gensheng didn't seem angry at all.
Seeing how excited Angenia was, Gensheng reminded her, "Let's talk when we get back."
"That's right. You've come from afar, so we must treat you well!" The queen ordered her subordinates to take care of the others while she led Silin into her private car.
Huimao followed suit. Silin felt goosebumps rising all over his body when he heard the way he called her second grandma and mistress.
Gensheng also got into Angenia's car. As for the others, they didn't look like they were going to take care of them themselves.
Xingfu scratched his head awkwardly as he watched the flying car fly away. Seriously, their own son and grandson were here, but the two of them actually ignored them. After saying goodbye to Fen Yuzuo and Peneus, Xingfu had someone drive him to catch up to them.
Hara was used to this kind of cold treatment, and he could understand Angenia and Gensheng's feelings. So he didn't mind it at all. Instead, he greeted some of Golden Beginning's acquaintances with a smile.
Back at Angenia's residence, Silin took out the necklace and badge and handed them to Angenia and Gensheng.
"My master told me to give these to you."
Gensheng accepted the badge. It didn't have any buttons or pins, but it stuck to his clothes. If it came into direct contact with his skin, it would turn into a curly leaf pattern that looked like a tattoo.
Angenia, on the other hand, stared at the necklace in her hand in a daze.
Afterward, Silin injected Gensheng with the plant hormone extracted from the Fuji Tree. He also told Gensheng and Angenia a few things to take note of before leaving the rest for them. Xingji wasn't here right now, so Angenia would be the one to administer the injection.
Gensheng's genetic evolution process was a lot calmer than Xingfu's. Xingfu's reaction was a little bigger than Xingfu's, because he was a little special at the time.
After the stimulated evolution, Gensheng's gene rank remained at rank B, but his appearance had changed a lot. Before this, Gensheng was a middle-aged man with graying temples, but after the injection, he had become a young man in his prime. Gensheng was very happy about this change. After all, the boss of Golden Beginning couldn't be too weak. Previously, many people had objected to Gensheng taking over because he was too weak. After this, he believed that those people would calm down a little.
Angenia was a little disappointed that Genya couldn't come back, but it was great news to know that he was alive and doing very well. Angenia felt a lot of the frustration that had been plaguing her for decades.
"Oh right, Silin, you're the captain of Vanguard now, right? I have a gift for you. I believe it will be of great help to you." Angenia summoned one of her subordinates and told them to bring the gift over.
"Are you talking about that armor?" Gensheng looked at Angenia. They only had five sets of that armor in their possession right now. He, Angenia, Xingfu, Xingji, and Prisa each had a set. How could they possibly have an extra? Unless Angenia wanted to give Silin her own or Xingfu's. Xingfu hadn't used the armor yet because his constitution was too weak to handle it before. But now that Xingfu's genes had improved …
Armor? Silin was curious. He had seen protective suits and armor that could be used in outer space, but if both Angenia and Gensheng thought so highly of it, there had to be something special about it.
A moment later, Angenia's subordinate returned with a box.
Angenia took out a strange garment that seemed to be made of a transparent liquid that was connected to a pair of pants.
"We only received five sets, and this is mine. I'm giving it to you now."
Just as Silin was about to refuse, Angenia stopped Silin and looked at Gensheng. "Little Sheng, show me."
Gensheng rose to his feet and took off his jacket. Then, Silin watched as a transparent liquid suit similar to the one in Angenia's hand appeared on the surface of Gensheng's body. The liquid then solidified and enveloped Gensheng in a suit of silvery-white armor. He was fully armed from head to toe.
Gensheng took out a laser knife and slashed at the armor's arm, but it didn't leave a single mark. The curve of the armor was natural when it ran and jumped. Once the demonstration was over, the helmet on the head of the armor was removed to reveal Gensheng's face.
Gensheng looked very excited. After all, the armor felt much better after his genes evolved.
"This armor can be used in outer space. I'm sure you'll discover its other benefits after you try it out. Also, after you put it on, it can connect with your nerves, and you can control its form. You can hide inside your body or appear as armor. "Angenia handed the armor to Silin.
Silin took the armor and looked at it carefully. It was indeed very special. When he touched it, he felt like he could communicate with it. The person who made this armor was quite amazing.
However, when Silin observed the armor, he noticed an inconspicuous print on it.
"This print …"
"You recognize this print?!" Angenia was very observant.
"Yes. It's a pity. "After a pause, Silin suddenly asked," Do you have a member of this family here? "
Angenia hesitated for a moment, but she still nodded.
"Can I go see him?" Silin asked.
Gensheng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He would let Angenia decide.
After a moment of silence, Angenia replied, "Sure. I'll take you there now. "
Right here? That's great. We can solve this problem together.
Silin thinks. He put away the armor and followed Angenia out. Gensheng followed closely behind. He also wanted to know what Silin knew.
There was a courtyard not far from Angenia's residence. The courtyard was surrounded by some strange machines. When Silin arrived, Hara's loud laughter came from the courtyard.
Angenia opened the door, and Silin saw the person inside.
Hara was decorating a cake with fruits. Opposite Hara was a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was holding his chin with one hand and dipping some cream from the unfinished cake into his mouth with the other. His eyes were curved in a smile.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, the young man looked over. Facing the shining sunlight, Cillin saw the silvery-white color reflected in his metallic gray pupils.
The pure metallic grey pupils and the reflection of the silver light. Yue had told Silin that the young man in front of him was a pure-blooded member of the Xi Family!
However, this youth's hair was white instead of the metallic grey that A 'Yue had said most members of the Xi Clan possessed.
