Starry Sky.
Before Si Sheng left, Xu Sili had already moved onto the ship. Compared to the Xing Dao base that he had just taken over, he felt more secure in his own territory.
The Shadow Leopard crouched beside him and followed Si Sheng's instructions to guard him closely.
Andrew and the other guards were also guarding the corridor outside. They didn't dare to relax at all as they were afraid that something would happen to him.
Doctor Ting and his "sister" were naturally moved onto the ship as well. They were arranged to stay in the rooms on either side of Xu Sili.
Since they knew that they weren't related by blood and that the unconscious woman was a member of the House of Roland, Xu Sili couldn't let them stay together anymore.
Doctor Ting gladly accepted this arrangement.
Xu Sili didn't know what to do with the base's arrangements, so he decided to put this matter aside and go next door to have a chat with Mr. Ding.
The Shadow Leopard followed behind him.
Its beast body was considered small compared to interstellar beasts, but it was still considered large in the eyes of humans.
Xu Sili glanced at it. Considering that the old man couldn't be frightened, he hesitated for a moment before letting the Shadow Leopard turn into its human form.
The little emperor's orders were the master's orders. Jiu Yue didn't hesitate and nodded. He slowly turned into a young man in black and continued to follow beside Xu Sili.
"Speaking of which, how are Cha Mo and Hai Ge?"
Xu Sili hadn't paid attention to them in a long time. He heard that Cha Mo had approached Jiu Yue several times and wanted to entrust the little mermaid to him, but was rejected by Jiu Yue.
"I'm not sure."
Jiu Yue was obviously unhappy when Cha Mo was mentioned, but he didn't dare to show his displeasure in front of Xu Sili. He only pursed his lips and acted cool and didn't like to talk.
Xu Sili shrugged.
Although he was curious about what happened between the two of them, he didn't ask.
Xu Sili knew that Cha Mo wanted to go to the sea to look for the Mermaid Clan. He had even come to him for help, but after being rejected, he did not mention it again.
In fact, it was not that Xu Sili did not want to help, but Roland was too busy to care about the Aboriginals. Perhaps he could let the players take a look at the Aboriginals during the Beta Test.
Jiu Yue should also be aware of the dangers in the sea.
Perhaps that was why he refused to agree to Cha Mo's request to take care of the little mermaid? From this point of view, it was not as if Jiu Yue did not care about Cha Mo.
Xu Sili was thinking about the gossip between the two of them in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. It was as if he had just asked casually.
Ninth Moon pulled a long face and walked out of the room first.
"Swish, swish, swish —" Suddenly, the sound of swords being drawn could be heard everywhere.
Jiu Yue immediately became vigilant. He immediately released the shadow and prepared to take the little emperor away.
"Wait."
Xu Sili spoke in time. Andrew and the others, who were about to fight with the young man in black, hesitated and stopped.
They had never seen Jiu Yue in human form before. When they saw the young man in black suddenly come out of the room with a fierce expression, they immediately thought that he was an assassin.
Xu Sili did not expect to make such a mistake. After his kidnapping, the group of royal guards could not help but feel nervous.
"This is Zuiying, the Marshal's contract beast," he explained.
When Zuiying was mentioned, Andrew and the others reacted. However, they still looked at the young man in black carefully.
When Jiu Yue impatiently turned his eyes into vertical slits, they finally believed him. Their attitude towards him also changed from vigilance to shock and admiration.
So the legend was true. There really were Ancient Beasts in the world that could transform into human form! Moreover, it was the Marshal's contract beast. Lord Si Sheng was indeed Roland's Guardian God!
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Xu Sili did not bother with them. After knocking on the door, he walked into the room next door.
Doctor Ting did not rest. He sat in front of the photon computer and was searching for something. After arriving at the Starry Sky, he could communicate with the outside world.
Xu Sili thought of the Franda Galactic Federation's verdict against him. Looking at the doctor's ugly expression, he knew that the doctor probably already knew the result.
"Your Majesty Roland."
Doctor Ting got up and performed a somewhat clumsy greeting.
Although they did not speak the same language, there was no obstacle for the two to communicate with the translator.
"You already know?"
Xu Sili looked at the screen in the photon computer and asked.
Doctor Ting smiled bitterly and nodded. He originally thought that His Majesty Roland did not inform the Franda Galactic Federation, which was why the Federation did not send anyone to save him.
However, he did not expect that he was now a traitor and was even on the wanted list.
"After receiving your distress message, I asked the Star Alliance's liaison officer to help pass the message to your country. Unfortunately, the Franda Galactic Federation's higher-ups felt that as long as you did not prove yourself, your message could not be trusted, so …"
Xu Sili did not continue, but Doctor Ting clearly understood.
"I was framed."
Doctor Ting took off his glasses and gently wiped them with a handkerchief. Furthermore, he also knew who framed him.
"When I was kidnapped by the Xing Dao, I felt that something was strange. This time, I made strict security measures, but I did not expect to be targeted by the Xing Dao.
"I should have guessed that someone was going to make a move on me, but because of my carelessness, Vir was almost implicated …"
Doctor Ting wiped his face hard. One could see his guilt and sadness. Then he said, "Thank you very much for saving me, His Majesty Roland. I really do not know how to express my gratitude."
Xu Sili shook his head. "It was a coincidence that I came here. You don't have to take it to heart.
"I'm sure you can guess the reason why I came to find you now."
Doctor Ting put down his hands and put on his glasses again. He looked up at Xu Sili. When his eyes fell on his face, his expression became a little dazed.
"You want to ask about Vir, right?" he asked.
Xu Sili nodded and looked at him. "Miss Vir is not your biological sister, right?"
Doctor Ting smiled bitterly again. "Yes, everyone who sees us says that."
After all, in terms of age and appearance, he was old enough to be Roland's grandfather. Who would believe that they were only ten years apart?
"I'm sorry if I offended you, but I still want to say that I suspect … Miss Vir is a long-lost relative of our family."
Xu Sili looked at the old man and said solemnly.
In fact, there was no need for him to suspect anything. Because of the Insight Spell, he could directly make a conclusion. However, he could not be sure which relative it was and how they were related to each other.
"Actually, that's what I think too." Mr. Ding looked at him. "Silver hair and purple eyes. You have such beautiful and unique features, just like her."
"Also, I can see Vir's younger appearance on you," he muttered. "It's hard to believe that you are not related by blood."
Xu Sili curved his lips. "Thank you for your compliment. This is indeed a unique symbol of our family."
"So, do you mind telling me the story of you and Miss Vir?"
Doctor Ting looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you have wine?"
Xu Sili was stunned, then smiled.
"Of course."
He took out a bottle of wine with low alcohol content from the space capsule and took out two glasses.
The dark red wine poured into the glasses. Doctor Ting picked up the glass and took a sip. The distress on his face eased a little.
He swirled the wine glass and said softly, "Vir and I are indeed not biological siblings, but our age difference is not as big as it seems."
"When I first met her, I was only thirty years old and had just entered the research institute. Vir was also a little girl who had just come to the capital to study from a remote planet."
"That year, she was in her early twenties, about the same age as you."
The old man was immersed in his memories. Xu Sili listened attentively, sipping wine from time to time or refilling the old man's glass.
"Although Vir didn't know anything, and her knowledge of life was close to zero, she had a very magical ability."
Doctor Ting said, "I was very interested in this ability, so I gradually got to know her more. She helped me with my experiments, and I taught her the general knowledge and skills needed to live in modern society."
"I never asked her which planet she came from. To me, who was obsessed with research at that time, it was not important."
At this point, the old man smiled bitterly.
"So, after knowing her for so long, I actually knew very little about Vir's situation. I always felt that I cared about her as a person, and that her background was not that important."
Xu Sili silently refilled his glass.
Although background was not important, if you did not even try to understand the other person's basic situation, then the friendship between the two people might not be very deep.
Doctor Ting seemed to recall something, and his face showed some regret and loneliness.
"At that time, I had just taken over a project and was very busy every day. Vir's matter was temporarily put aside. During that time, I even stayed in a closed research institute for a year."
"When I came out, Vir had already left Flanda."
"After contacting her again and confirming her safety, I did not think too much about it. After all, in this era, even if we were separated by a galaxy, it was very easy to meet up."
"But I did not expect that we would be separated for more than twenty years."
Doctor Ting took another sip of wine. "During this time, many things happened. Due to various coincidences, we were never able to meet up."
"After that, we slowly lost contact."
"Until we met again more than twenty years later, she was still so beautiful, but I had already become an old man."
Xu Sili sighed when he heard this.
Vir was an Elementalist, and a Water Elementalist at that, so she was good at maintaining her health. Moreover, she was a two-star, and her lifespan was extended to two or three hundred years.
Doctor Ting, on the other hand, was obviously a hundred-year-old race.
Even if the two of them had not separated, they probably would not have been able to be together.
Seeing Xu Sili's expression, Doctor Ting suddenly smiled and showed some optimism.
"Actually, in the twenty years that we were apart, I had slowly realized my feelings for her. It was just that I was too slow when I was young and did not cherish this fate."
"However, when we met again many years later, I thought it through again."
The old man raised his head slightly and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling. He seemed to have recalled something and smiled a little sadly.
"I always remember the scene when we met again. I also clearly saw the sadness in her eyes. She was sad to see me, an old friend, grow old …"
If they were really together, how sad would she be?
Xu Sili nodded and waited for the old man to calm down before continuing to ask, "What happened after that?"
"After that, she had an accident."
Doctor Ting said sadly, "At that time, there was a large-scale turmoil. She happened to be on that planet. When I received news of her again, she was seriously injured and on the verge of death."
"After she was rescued, although she barely managed to survive, her spirit sea was damaged and her mental strength was in chaos, causing her to be unable to wake up again."
"From then on, I have been taking care of her. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can see her open those beautiful purple eyes again and say something to me …"
Xu Sili listened to the story and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. He also roughly sketched the image of Vir Roland in his mind.
She left Snow Star when she was twenty years old. It had been thirty or forty years since then. She probably had not returned for so many years, so she was not in Snow's memory.
"You know what happened after that."
At this time, Doctor Ting took a deep breath and continued, "She reacted to your songs, especially the song 'Germination', so I wanted to take her to Roland."
"I actually guessed that she should be from Roland, but …" Doctor Ting paused and looked deeply at Xu Sili. "Are you really the emperor of Roland?"
Xu Sili did not deny it. There was no need to hide in front of Doctor Ting.
"Yes, I am the current emperor of Roland, and Vir … She should be one of my elders. How long has she been in a coma?"
Doctor Ting thought for a moment. "About ten years."
It has been so long …
Xu Sili could not help but say, "Old Ding, you have been taking care of her for so many years. It is a great kindness to the House of Roland!"
"If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you."
Doctor Ting waved his hand. He looked at Xu Sili and hesitated for a moment. "Your Majesty of Roland, are you going to take Vir back?"
"Probably not for the time being."
Xu Sili said, "We still have some things to do. It may take more than a month."
Looking at Doctor Ting's conflicted expression, he thought for a moment and said, "Roland will remember your kindness, but I must take Miss Vir back to Roland."
"Fallen leaves return to their roots. She probably wants to go home too."
"I understand."
Doctor Ting smiled bitterly. "But after taking care of her for so long, it is inevitable that I will be separated again …"
He knew how difficult it was to go to the Roland Empire, so this separation was likely to be an eternal farewell.
"Or … why don't you come back to Roland with me?" Xu Sili looked at him and had another idea.
Originally, he wanted to keep the old man, but now because of Vir, he could not force the old man. It was up to the old man.
"It will be difficult for you to go back to the Flanda Interstellar Federation now."
Xu Sili said sincerely, "Although Roland's technological level is not high, when you go to Roland, you will be the director of the Research Institute. I can guarantee that this kind of academic persecution will never happen."
Doctor Ting did not expect that the Emperor of Roland would directly promise him the position of director of the Research Institute. He was shocked.
"This is not very appropriate, right?"
He was an outsider. If he directly became the head of the Research Institute as soon as he arrived, there would definitely be many objections.
"Don't worry, there is nothing inappropriate. I am in charge of Roland, and no one dares to object. You just have to say if you are willing or not."
Xu Sili waved his hand in a very domineering manner.
Doctor Ting was a little moved by his words. He really did not want to stay in the Flanda Interstellar Federation. He was directly identified as a traitor and did not even give him a chance to explain …
However, this matter had a huge impact, so he did not immediately agree.
"Can you let me think about it?" he asked.
"Of course." Xu Sili nodded. "You just have to give me an answer before we return to Roland."
"You can stay on the Starry Sky with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell Andrew and the others."
Xu Sili raised his wine glass and clinked it with Doctor Ting's. He smiled and said, "I hope you can think about it carefully and give me a satisfactory answer."
Then, he finished the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Then I won't disturb you. Have a good rest."
He put down the glass, got up, and left Doctor Ting's place. He then ran to Vir's room.
The woman was still sleeping quietly in the nutrition cabin, like Sleeping Beauty, waiting to be woken up, or sleeping forever like this.
Xu Sili looked at her data carefully again.
Her health bar was full, but there was a negative status of "sleep", just like Cha Mo's situation, except that her main consciousness and subconsciousness were unconscious.
He was not sure if the Germinal Organization could save her, but since Niya could cure Cha Mo, even if the Germinal Organization was ineffective, he could go back and find Niya.
Thinking of this, Xu Sili was relieved. He took a few photos of her and played the song "Germinal Organization" for her with the God of Music's piccolo.
As expected, "Germinal Organization" did not wake her up immediately.
However, from the monitoring data of the nutrition cabin, her brain waves did become more active after hearing the song. Doctor Ting was right about this.
After confirming this, Xu Sili did not stay any longer.
This body's alcohol tolerance was really low. He had just drunk a glass of red wine, and the alcohol content was so low that he felt a little dizzy and sleepy.
When Si Sheng came back, he did not see him in the room. Just as he was about to go out to look for him, he heard a sound coming from the bathroom.
He stopped and walked over to take a look. He saw the young man lying in the bathtub, his face flushed. His eyes were closed, and there were water droplets on his eyelashes.
Probably noticing him, the young man gently opened his eyes and looked at him with a drunken smile. "Brother Sheng …"
Si Sheng took a deep breath, suppressed the obvious changes in his body, walked over, squatted in front of him, and reached out to touch his cheek.
"Why are you so drunk again?"
He frowned as he recalled that day at the Keqibal Hotel. He was also dead drunk and depressed.
Xu Sili tilted his head, rubbed his palm, and said innocently, "I … I just had a drink with Mr. Ding …"
As he said that, he put his hands around his neck and smiled. "Brother Sheng, Roland is going to have a research institute soon. I want to take Mr. Ding back to be the director. What do you think?"
Si Sheng looked at his smiling face and listened to his drunken words. He could not help but smile too.
"It's his honor."
As he said that, he looked down and his gaze fell on the young man's seductive lips. In the end, he could not help but move closer. Just as they were about to touch, he whispered, "I want to kiss you."
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows, and dense water droplets fell from his bangs.
The water droplets slid down his cheeks, all the way to the young man's delicate chin, slender white neck, collarbone, and finally seeped into his thin white shirt from the slightly open collar.
The young man tilted his head, closed his eyes, and whispered in his ear, "You just want to kiss me?"
The response was the tall figure of the man pouncing on him.
They had only been apart for two days and one night, but the two of them felt like they had been apart for a long time. They were even more clingy than before.
This was probably … absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Halfway through, Xu Sili slowly sobered up. But since it had already started, how could it end?
When he woke up in a daze the next day, it was almost noon.
However, he did not see Si Sheng next to him.
At first, Xu Sili did not think much of it. He held his waist and wanted to laze around in bed. It was not until he looked out of the window and saw that the spaceship was actually moving slowly in space that he suddenly woke up.
The Starry Sky was brought into the Lie Star Base. He remembered that the scene he saw last night was still the base's buildings and the metal shell in the sky. It was not space.
So, the Starry Sky came out?
Xu Sili extended his spiritual power and found that it was indeed so.
According to the surrounding asteroids, the Starry Sky should still be in the asteroid belt. But why did he feel that something was not right?
Xu Sili got up suspiciously and was about to go outside to take a look.
However, he could still get up. A figure flashed in the room and Si Sheng appeared in front of him again.
"You're awake?" The man touched his hair and asked gently, "Are you hungry?"
Xu Sili was startled. "A little."
Then, he finally realized what was going on and asked, "Brother Sheng, where is Starsky going now? Are we leaving the Lie Star Base? "
"Yes." Si Sheng nodded and asked him what he wanted to eat.
Xu Sili could only say a few things. Then, he asked, "What about the Lie Star Base?"
Were they going to leave it in the asteroid belt?
Then, he saw Si Sheng take out a card from his pocket and gently put it in front of him. "Here."
Xu Sili looked at the metal ball on the card and then at the words "Lie Star Base". He could not help but open his eyes wide.
