A blonde man in a white military uniform stood quietly by the window. The sunlight shone through the glass and fell on him, adding a touch of holiness to him.
He was standing in the corner, but Xu Sili saw him as soon as he walked in.
This guy was always so dazzling. It was as if no one could ignore his presence just by standing there.
Xu Sili pursed his lips.
Actually … he felt quite accomplished.
The once pitiful slave who was like a vicious dog had grown into such an excellent and powerful man. There was no trace of the past in him.
Perhaps, he was not the same person as the past him.
After all, it was not the same game.
Thinking of this, Xu Sili was a little curious. What kind of background would the Star Age game group arrange for the current Si Sheng?
For example, Li Zheyu, the captain of the guards, was originally from a card game. His current background did not seem to be related to the original setting at all.
In the original game, Li Zheyu was also from a noble family. He was the childhood sweetheart of the princess. From the time he was Xiao Li, he was determined to become the knight who protected the princess.
He was loyal and brave, saving the princess from danger many times. He was a very reliable man who could give people a sense of security.
But now, Li Zheyu …
Xu Sili looked sideways at the captain of the guards beside him.
In this world, Li Zheyu was also from a noble family.
But because there had not been an Elementalist for many years, the family had declined. Only after Li Zheyu rose to power did the situation become better.
Naturally, there was no romantic setting where he grew up with the princess.
He was loyal, but reliable?
Forget it!
Xu Sili would never forget the night when he had just crossed over. Li Zecheng had brought the guards and rushed into the main hall, but he had quickly retreated out.
Li Zheyu, who was beside him, felt the gaze of the little emperor.
He felt a little pressured.
Your Majesty, don't look at me! Don't you see that the Marshal is angry? If looks could kill, I would have died many times over by now!
"Your Majesty."
Si Sheng's deep voice resounded in the spacious palace, seemingly no different from usual.
However, Li Zheyu subconsciously glanced over and widened his eyes in disbelief. 'Holy shit, holy shit, the Marshal is smiling!'
Am I going to die soon?
Li Zheyu silently moved to the side, creating a safe distance between him and the little Emperor.
Xu Sili also looked at Si Sheng.
The man slightly curved his lips, revealing a faint smile that was even more dazzling under the sun.
However, Xu Sili felt a little awkward.
He nodded at Si Sheng and slowly walked to the dining table. A maid pulled out a chair for him and helped him sit down.
Si Sheng also walked over. He placed his hand on the back of the chair and gently pulled it open.
Xu Sili looked up and saw his white-gloved hand.
It was a very beautiful hand shape. Wrapped in the snow-white silk, it was pleasing to the eye. However, it was not the kind of delicate beauty, but full of masculine strength.
The man sat down on the chair.
Under Xu Sili's gaze, he slowly took off his gloves, revealing his originally cold white skin and …
There were faint scars on his face.
Xu Sili was slightly stunned.
This … was the first time he had noticed Si Sheng's hand.
Was Si Sheng's hand like this in the past? Or was this a new setting added by the game team?
Si Sheng stacked his gloves on top of each other and gently put them aside. Then, as if he had noticed the young man's gaze, he looked over and realized that the young man's gaze …
He lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on his hands.
There were faint scars on the back of his hand, as if they were left behind by whips. It was obvious that they had been there for a long time, at least not recently.
Furthermore, it was very difficult for anyone to hurt him now.
Si Sheng was in a daze. At this moment, the young man suddenly spoke.
"Does it hurt?"
It was soft and gentle, as warm as the morning light.
Did it hurt?
Si Sheng looked up and smiled gently at the young man.
"I forgot," he said.
Did he really forget?
Xu Sili looked at the young man's smile and did not know what to say.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't smile if you don't want to."
Si Sheng paused and did not immediately say anything. Instead, he reached out and picked up the milk jug, pouring the milky white milk into a glass and gently placed it in front of the young man.
"You said that I should smile more."
He said softly.
Xu Sili smelled the rich milky fragrance and could not help but take a sip. He nodded after hearing the young man's words.
"That's true. You look good when you smile. It's better than a cold face."
He casually said his thoughts and did not feel that there was anything wrong with them, so he did not notice that …
Si Sheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Xu Sili did not notice anything unusual at all.
He ate breakfast with Si Sheng while thinking about his plans for the day.
First, he would go to the Elementalist College and ask about the training of Elementalists. Then, he would visit Su Lin … Hmm, if he had time, he would go to Mercenary Town to inspect.
With this in mind, Xu Sili opened the territory panel and casually glanced at it.
[Mercenary Town lvl 1]
Status: Upgrading under construction
Person in charge: Justin, Wen Jishan (revenue increased by 100%)
Completed: Wooden house x3
Under construction: Wooden house (80%), brick house (54%), wooden house (11%), wooden house (1%), brick house (1%)
Financial expenditure: 0
New population: None
Special status bonus: Resident injury rate 2% (construction speed -10%), resident starvation rate 30% (construction speed -30%)
Xu Sili nodded when he saw the progress of the completed buildings. It seemed that Dean Justin had started working since early in the morning.
However, he quickly frowned.
One night had passed. Why was the Mercenary Town's resident injury rate still so high? Didn't he send the Water Healing Division over yesterday afternoon?
"Li Zheyu." He looked at the Captain of the Guards.
Li Zheyu was feeling a little full from the public display of affection. When he suddenly heard his name, he quickly stood up straight.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xu Sili did not immediately fly into a rage. Instead, he asked, "Yesterday, I sent the Water Healing Division to Mercenary Town to treat the victims of the disaster. How did it go?"
Hearing this, Li Zheyu's expression suddenly showed that he was in a difficult position.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Sili put down the milk and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Your Majesty, Master Niya is still in the palace …" Li Zheyu deliberated. "Today, I will urge her to leave as soon as possible!"
"Urge her to leave as soon as possible?" Xu Sili smiled. Li Zheyu felt his scalp go numb.
Because that was how His Majesty smiled outside the dean's office that day …
He stood quietly at the side, not daring to make a sound.
"Jenna, go and call her here," Xu Sili said lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jenna responded respectfully. Then, she left the dining hall and personally went to summon the Water Healing Division.
Although there was a communication device, the other party was still a doctor. Out of respect for the Angel in White, Xu Sili still sent a maid to call her over.
However, he did not expect that the other party would reject him.
"Your Majesty, Master Niya said … she can't leave now. Can she find another time to meet with Your Majesty?"
Jenna's reporting voice gradually became softer as the smile on the little Emperor's face appeared.
"Can't leave?"
Xu Sili recalled the cold and aloof Water Healing Division. His tone was somewhat meaningful. He continued to ask, "What is she doing? Why can't she leave? "
Jenna said truthfully, "It seems like … she is practicing her medical skills?"
"Ha, interesting."
Xu Sili nodded and finished the milk in one gulp. This time, he did not forget to wipe his mouth with a napkin before standing up.
"Let's go and take a look at this powerful Royal Water Healing Division. What kind of amazing medical skills is she practicing?"
The little Emperor was swift and decisive as he walked straight out.
However, when he reached the door, he suddenly heard Si Sheng call out to him from behind. "Your Majesty."
Xu Sili looked back and raised his eyebrows at him.
He suddenly remembered a small detail.
That day, when he sent Janice to the Water Healing Division's temporary residence for treatment, he seemed to have seen Si Sheng's portrait hanging on the wall.
At that time, he was in a hurry to go to the Elementalist College and did not take it to heart. Now, he remembered.
What? This Doctor Niya was Si Sheng's lover? So when he went to find trouble with her, the Marshal was going to stop him?
Xu Sili looked at Si Sheng, his gaze gradually becoming unfriendly.
Si Sheng did not seem to notice. In a flash, he appeared in front of the little Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to walk?"
"Is there a problem?"
Xu Sili gently tugged at the corner of his mouth and his tone became unfriendly.
Li Zheyu looked at Janice in confusion. Wasn't everything fine just now? Why were they arguing again?
Janice ignored him and looked at Si Sheng warily.
Her Majesty did not like Marshal Si Sheng. As the most trusted person by her Majesty's side, Janice naturally had to stand together with her Majesty against outsiders.
Si Sheng curved his lips and said with a faint smile, "Why don't you let me send Your Majesty there?"
Xu Sili's expression softened.
However, he did not agree. "No need."
If she wanted to teleport, she would have to be carried by him in front of the maids and guards. How inappropriate would that be?
Si Sheng shook his head and frowned. "It's just the Water Healing Division. How can I let you see her personally?"
His indifferent tone carried a hint of domineering disdain.
Xu Sili looked at him and was suddenly convinced.
That's right, he was the dignified ruler of a country. He was not someone who treated scholars with respect. If he walked over personally, he would be giving too much face!
"Then what do you think, Marshal?"
Si Sheng smiled and waved his hand. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the air like a pocket.
"Roar —"
Accompanied by a mighty and domineering roar, a mountain-like pressure came out of the crack. Immediately after, a black shadow flashed —
The shadow leopard's vigorous figure jumped out of the crack and landed steadily on the ground. Its green eyes sized up everyone.
Xu Sili was stunned.
Damn, this shadow leopard … is so handsome!
The black leopard glanced at him, its eyes flashing with intelligence. It slowly walked over to Si Sheng and squatted down beside its master.
Si Sheng was already very tall, but even if the shadow leopard was squatting, it was still taller than him by a head. Its body was filled with a violent aura, and it was not to be trifled with.
However, when it was beside Si Sheng, it behaved very obediently.
Si Sheng reached out and patted the black leopard's forehead.
The black leopard immediately narrowed its eyes and rubbed against his palm in enjoyment, like a big cat.
Under Xu Sili's envious gaze, Si Sheng looked at him and said softly, "Let it give us a ride, how about it?"
Xu Sili blinked and looked at him, then at the shadow leopard.
Since it was already like this, what else could he say?
"Okay! Let's go together! "
He had wanted to try riding a big cat for a long time!
The youth was eager to try. Although when the black leopard looked at him, he could not help but feel instinctive fear towards a ferocious beast, but it was quickly replaced by excitement.
The main thing was … it was too cool!
Under Si Sheng's guidance, Xu Sili slowly approached and reached out to the black leopard.
The shadow leopard looked at him and saw him reach out his hand. It bared its teeth at him, but when it saw Si Sheng's eyes, it immediately restrained itself.
It obediently lay on the ground and let Si Sheng protect Xu Sili. After he sat on the leopard's back, it stood up majestically.
Xu Sili had ridden a horse before, but this was his first time riding a leopard.
To be honest, sitting on the back of the black leopard without a saddle and reins, he did not know what to do.
Where should he put his hands? Would the black leopard be angry if he pulled on its fur?
Before he could finish his thoughts, the shadow leopard suddenly stood up.
Xu Sili's body swayed and was about to fall. Fortunately, a strong arm grabbed his waist in time.
He felt himself being lifted up a little, moved backwards, and pressed into an embrace.
"Your Majesty, hold my hand."
The man leaned close to his ear, and the breath he breathed into his ear made Xu Sili feel a little hot.
But before he could struggle, the shadow leopard had already started to run.
Xu Sili was distracted.
He hugged Si Sheng's arm tightly to maintain his balance. Looking at the scenery around him that was rapidly retreating, the youth's face was full of excitement and amazement.
"Si Sheng, let Jiu Yue fly in the sky! I want to see the sky! "
Xu Sili completely forgot that he was going to find trouble. Now, he just wanted to ride the big cat and fly into the sky.
This kind of feeling was even better than riding a roller coaster!
Si Sheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed again. All the gloominess in his eyes seemed to have disappeared. He whispered into the youth's ear, his low and hoarse voice carrying some gentleness.
"Okay."
He said softly and gave the shadow leopard an order.
The black leopard that was shuttling back and forth in the castle suddenly roared. Two black shadows appeared on its back.
The shadows extended to both sides. When they were fully spread out, they turned into two pure black wings.
The wings flapped vigorously and carried them into the clouds.
Below, Li Zheyu and a group of guards looked up at the black shadow that was flying away.
He said with admiration, "Sir Si Sheng's Chasing Shadow is so powerful! Every time I see it, I'm deeply shocked. "
Which man wouldn't want such a mount?
Janice also looked up at the sky.
Although she was a little worried, she couldn't help but nod in agreement when she heard his words.
This shadow leopard was rumored to be an ancient beast native to Ai Xue Planet. Its bloodline was powerful and its methods were extraordinary. After it was subdued by the marshal, it was willing to sign a contract with him and become his mount and servant.
Chasing Shadow was the name of this ancient beast.
After flying one round in the sky, Xu Sili finally remembered the important matter. He patted Si Sheng's hand and said, "Let's go down and find the Water Healing Division."
He could play with the big cat at any time. Mercenary Town was more important now.
Si Sheng nodded and didn't say anything else. The shadow leopard turned around and flew back.
When it reached the sky above the Water Healing Division's residence, the shadow leopard roared mightily and its roar shook the sky.
Then, its four limbs landed on the ground and the hard stone tiles were instantly crushed. It retracted its wings and turned into a black shadow again.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of the guards and maids of the Water Healing Division. They all ran out to take a look.
When they saw the ferocious shadow leopard, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled. Some people even screamed.
"Interstellar beast! An interstellar beast broke into the palace! "
However, they were quickly stopped by some people with good eyesight.
"Shut up!"
"That's the marshal's contracted beast!"
Niya, who had just run out of her residence, was alarmed by the commotion. She couldn't help but calm down when she heard this. At the same time, a hint of surprise appeared on her cold and beautiful face.
Sir Si Sheng …
She hurriedly lifted the hem of her dress and rushed towards the courtyard.
Sure enough, when she arrived, she saw a black ferocious beast standing in the open space of the courtyard.
A man in a snow-white military uniform jumped down from the black leopard. His skills were clean and neat, and he was extraordinarily valiant.
Niya was slightly stunned.
Then, she thought of something and hurriedly put down the hem of her dress. She tidied herself up a little and was about to rush over when she saw the man standing tall and looking up slightly at the shadow leopard's back.
Only then did she realize that there was a silver-haired youth sitting on the shadow leopard.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the man with a slightly arrogant and cold expression. However, Marshal Si Sheng … was smiling at him.
"Your Majesty, shall I carry you down?"
Si Sheng looked at the youth. His grayish-blue eyes were full of gentleness and sincerity.
Xu Sili looked into his eyes and felt that he was exceptionally handsome at this moment.
But …
He wasn't someone who would be seduced by beauty.
With so many people watching, if he was carried down like this, where would his dignity as an Emperor go?
"No need. Let Jiu Yue lie down. I'll go down myself," Xu Sili said lightly.
Si Sheng wasn't disappointed. Instead, his smile deepened.
"Jiu Yue, did you hear that?"
He looked at the shadow leopard that was still standing stiffly and said softly.
The shadow leopard turned its head and looked at him strangely with its green eyes.
Why did he suddenly call him by his real name?
It felt that Zhuiying was cooler!
However, under the strong pressure of the man, it still compromised.
Although its master was smiling and looked like he was easy to get along with, it didn't think so. It even felt its hair stand on end.
It was too scary! Master was actually smiling!
The shadow leopard obediently lay down like a docile big cat. It was a huge contrast to its majestic appearance just now.
However, none of the people present felt that it was really as obedient as it appeared to be.
Xu Sili turned sideways and grabbed Si Sheng's hand to support him. He jumped down from the shadow leopard's back.
Although he wasn't as cool as Si Sheng, he still maintained his composure.
After he stood still, his light purple eyes swept across the crowd.
The maids and servants present all fell to the ground.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Marshal! "
Xu Sili nodded lightly and his gaze fell on the only woman who was still standing.
Niya stood rooted to the ground as if she had lost her mind.
She only regained her senses when the silver-haired youth strolled in front of her.
She glanced at Si Sheng before gracefully lifting her skirt to greet the young emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings … Lord Si Sheng."
Her cold and aloof appearance was no different from the day Janice came to heal her injuries.
However, Xu Sili keenly felt that she treated Si Sheng differently.
This discovery made him feel a little unhappy.
Xu Sili didn't think much of it. He took a step forward and stood between her and Si Sheng.
Niya was half a head shorter than him. At this moment, no matter how arrogant she was, her momentum was weaker.
She looked at Xu Sili. Her expression was still calm. Her eyelashes drooped slightly as she asked, "Your Majesty is here … Are you injured? Do you need treatment? "
Xu Sili chuckled and said lightly, "I heard that Madam Niya is very busy and inconvenient to accept my summons. Therefore, I came personally."
"I wonder what kind of amazing medical skills are you researching that you don't even have the time to see me?"
Si Sheng, who was blocked behind, couldn't help but frown as he listened to the youth's somewhat ambiguous words. The smile on his face also faded.
This Niya …
"Your Majesty, Niya does have something important to do today …" Niya lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
"Something important? What is it … "
Xu Sili raised his voice slightly and shouted with a cold face, "It's more important than my orders!"
Niya's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't really stupid. She just relied on the preferential treatment of the Imperial Water Healing Division and her understanding of the little Emperor to think that he wouldn't do anything to her.
Now that she saw him being difficult, she finally realized that this young monarch was different from the past.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." She admitted defeat without hesitation.
Xu Sili lowered his eyes and looked at her coldly.
"Yesterday, I ordered you to go to the mercenary town to treat the disaster victims. Why did you disobey?"
The disaster victims who were affected by the three-star beasts' rampage weren't seriously injured. With her ability, he believed that it wouldn't take long to treat them.
However, Niya frowned.
She bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I am from the Imperial Water Healing Division. The mercenary town … is full of civilians."
Letting a Water Healing Division, especially one from the Imperial Water Healing Division, go to such a dirty and messy place to treat a bunch of civilians?
Niya wasn't willing.
Xu Sili looked at her with some surprise. He thought of many reasons, but he didn't expect it to be this reason.
So what if they were all civilians? Were nobles so great?
If there were no civilians, did the nobles eat, use, and wear all these things fall from the sky?
What's wrong with her?
Xu Sili suddenly felt a little bored.
He looked at Niya, who was still stiffening her neck, and didn't continue to waste time.
"If that's the case, then from today onwards, strip Niya Chris of her noble status, and remove her from the Imperial Water Healing Division position."
He said lightly, but these words fell into Niya's ears like a clap of thunder.
She stared blankly at the young man.
She had never felt so clearly that this little emperor was really not the cowardly and weak monarch of the past.
Niya finally lost all her composure and loftiness. She said loudly, "Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"Why not?"
Xu Sili tilted his head slightly and glanced at her lightly.
"In my life, I hate people who take money but don't do anything. Since you can't share the burden of the monarch, what's the use of you?"
"Your Majesty, I'm from the Water Healing Division! A two-star top-notch Aqua Healer with the most powerful healing technique! "
Niya was a little angry. "I was the one who healed Janice."
"Then what about my brother and sister? Have you healed them? "Xu Sili suddenly asked.
Niya was stunned. She murmured, "The First Prince and the Second Prince, they're at the front line …"
"Then why aren't you at the front line?"
"I …" Niya was at a loss for words.
Xu Sili looked at her. In fact, he felt that a healer like Niya should be at the front line, where she could make the most of her light and heat.
But now …
He shrugged and said, "Either go to the Mercenary Town to treat the victims, or go to the front line, choose one of the two."
"You'll be reinstated when you've healed ten thousand wounded people."
After that, he looked at Si Sheng.
"Marshal, do you think this arrangement is reasonable?"
Si Sheng looked at him, his gray-blue eyes smiling again. He nodded gently. "It's very reasonable."
