Read Novel Full Chapter 84 84
84: 84 84: 84 Gu Gui had brought him to the military headquarters, most likely because the house was all but uninhabitable, and he also happened to have things to do here.
In interstellar battles, mechas were the most important thing to rely on.
If he wanted to avoid accidents, he had to start with mechas.
The system could not help him with the complicated work, so he had to go there himself.
Asking the system to keep track of time for him, Lu Deng pulled up the topographic map of the military headquarters.
After memorizing it in his mind, he swept his body up to the window, flipping along the outer wall and using the strength to land on the ground without a sound after a few turns.
The system that rushed to move the halyard to provide support to the host: … “I’m fine, don’t worry.” The system obviously hadn’t come out from the adaptations from the previous world.
Lu Deng smiled helplessly and patted the head of the sweeping robot gently.
He then easily avoided the patrol guards along the way and sneaked into the virtual training ground quietly.
Gu Gui’s mecha was connected here.
When not in combat, all the mechas were connected to the virtual training ground so that they could train for combat at any time.
Although the virtual connection could not transmit the real body, it could still transmit mental energy.
It didn’t take long for Lu Deng to identify Gu Gui’s mecha, as he arrived at the right time when there was no one in the training ground.
The entirety of the behemoth was made of the strongest and most defensible pure radium stone.
A perfect continuation of the Imperial Marshal’s clear aesthetic – no decorations were attached, not even a coat of silver star stone paint.
The pure black mecha was silent and hideous, like a ghastly prehistoric beast, the thin blades used for combat were glinting with a cold edge.
This murderous strange-looking beast-like image could scare someone to death with a single glance.
With a slight glint in his gaze, Lu Deng channeled his spiritual energy and leaped gently before lifting his body with both hands on the back of the blade, peeking into the half-open vent, and sliding silently into the cabin.
The system was too scared to turn on the camera[mfn]Anna: his eyes probably[/mfn].
Only after hearing the confirmation that he had landed, the system carefully moved the cover in front of the camera a bit.
Lu Deng was squatting in front of the console, flipping his palm, and leaning into it with a cyan light at the size of a seed.
This was the incarnation of his spiritual power, and his spiritual power had the means to help Gu Gui as long as it was attached to the mecha.
Even if he encountered another uncontrollable beast tide, he had the ability to catalyze the spiritual seed to bring people to safety before the mecha disintegrated.
The faint green light flickered and was channeled into the real body of the mecha along the connection path.
Lu Deng got up and was about to leave when the mecha suddenly shook and lit up with a red light indicating the battle mode.
The challenged mecha would automatically open the battle mode if there were people inside the cabin.
Gu Gui usually lent his virtual mecha to the 20 or so commanders under his command, so he did not turn on the special recognition of his spiritual power.
Lu Deng’s pace slowed down.
The system scanned the status and got worried.
“Host, the target has picked a house and is now making payments and final adjustments.
He’ll be back in the office in about thirty minutes!” A fragile omega was obviously not capable of jumping from a seventeenth-floor office with his bare hands.
If his identity were to be revealed now, it would more or less lead to some unnecessary trouble.
“It’s okay, there’s still time.” Lu Deng stopped and walked back to the console.
“Forced abort will need for about fifteen minutes, so this way will be faster.” It had been a long time since he had done any mecha sparring training, and he couldn’t get away in this current situation.
The sparring platform would only record the mecha’s data, and with twenty or so army chiefs probably manning the mecha, there must be a system to help deal with the traces of spiritual power so no one would notice.
Lu Deng put on the connector and his eyes fell on the screen, his gaze lighting up.
System: … It thinks its host just wants to fight.
Even if the host wanted to fight, it must be because his opponent was born to be beaten.
The system changed its stance with a twinkle in its eye and quickly helped him turn on human mode, the light blue beam scanning over Lu Deng’s body and emitting a match confirmation beep in the end.
In human mode, the mecha was fully attuned to the manipulator, any movement would cause the mecha to move accordingly, and any damage to the mecha would similarly be reflected in the corresponding part of the manipulator’s body without fail.
During sparring training, this mode of training was the most frequently used of all, as it allowed the operator to get used to the mecha as quickly as possible, while at the same time providing a solid memory.
The system skillfully adjusted the data for him and was about to inject a painkiller as a precautionary measure when Lu Deng stopped him, “No need.” The system flashed two small red lights in bewilderment.
But before it could withdraw its data, the massive mecha had blasted up, casting an intimidating dark shadow.
For Lu Deng, this kind of battle was really not that difficult.
With the vastness of the starry sky in the background, the hideous, menacing mecha looked like a beast looking for prey, its taillights blasting a silent, blood-colored light.
The challenger on the other side was a silver mecha, a smooth and elegant-looking design.
Seemingly not expecting such a quick acceptance from its opponent, the silver mecha paused for a moment before quickly coming back to its sense and charging forward with a mighty swipe of its wheel blades.
He was already fast, but the pure black mecha was faster than him.
While the nanoparticle cannon was quickly building up energy within an effective range between ten meters, the heavy and massive mecha had avoided the intended range with an incredibly deft movement, and the loaded bionic tooth blade jerked back upwards.
The cannon instantly misfired, and half of the barrel spun and flew out.
Inside the silver mecha cabin, the Commander of the First Legion: … He instantly suspected his opponent was the Marshal.
Among the twenty or so commanders, the First Legion’s Commander was known for his keen battle sense, his superior combat talent and his muckraking style of play practiced on the streets as a teenager.
No one other than Gu Gui could easily chip away his barrels in one round without even a greeting.
The Commander of the First Legion became nervous.
Gu Gui was extremely strict on the training ground, and while he didn’t mind his subordinates taking his mecha out to relieve their frustration by brushing off their failure rates at every turn, he wouldn’t let up on any of the sparring matches.
It was because the Third Legion’s Commander was once distracted during the sparring session that he was beaten from head to toe into a molecular state by the Marshal and still hadn’t been able to come back to work.
Thinking of the possibility that he had accidentally picked the Marshal, the Commander of the First Legion tensed his back.
He dared not to be lax and gathered his mind at the moment.
When he was about to counterattack, the behemoth suddenly disappeared.
The Commander’s[mfn]Anna: It’s going to be commander from here on out because the full title is too long and it becomes a heavy read to have constantly be in full[/mfn] hair instantly stood on end and he was about to turn on his shield when the black mecha appeared on the other side, the teeth of the blade changing direction with a flick of the back of the blade and slamming it hard into the energy chamber of his mecha’s lower belly.
In between the intense pain, the Commander glanced at the strength rating through his dripping sweats and his heart rate instantly went over the limit.
The power rating was divided into ten levels, which were directly linked to the strength of the mental power, and the one just struck corresponded to the SS level.
In the entire empire, there was only one person with SS-level mental strength.
The Commander decided to run, but things went counterproductive.
The ejector turned on and lost its ability to operate because the energy tank was scrapped.
He threw out a string of provocative smoke rings on the pure black mecha that was close at hand behind him.
Commander: … For some reason, today’s Marshal refused to use a hot weapon, preferring to abuse people with physical combat.
The Commander had almost foreseen his future of being dismantled into eighteen pieces and he covered his eyes with his bare hands and shrunk into a small ball when the light-brain between his wrists suddenly ticked twice.
The light-brain was connected to a private communicator, and the Commander, with a slit through his fingers, tapped on the contents and then stared in dismay.
[Gu Gui: Are you there?
Help me do something.] …Not only is he there, but he is also about to be dismantled by this person!
The Commander winced and forced himself to ignore the Marshal’s awkward chatter, fumbling for backup energy to activate and preparing to roll out of the battle zone in a spherical shape.
The silent black mecha, however, kept a firm eye on him, and at its slightest movement, the toothed blade struck with lightning speed, easily removing one of the mecha’s arms.
The Commander was terribly hurt, and he was so annoyed that he could not hesitate to say, “Yes!
Your Marshal, if you have anything to say, please say [——] It’s better to hurry up, I’m going to get out!” “…” Gu Gui at the sales office was inexplicably sprayed by his subordinate’s fire, blankly frowning.
But remembering that he had asked for help, he continued in a good voice, “I bought a new house.
I don’t want to live in the old one anymore, do you want it?” Before he realized it, a bucket of water was dropped on his head.
The Commander thought about the look of the Marshal’s private residence and was instantly creeped out.
“No no no thanks Marshal, I personally for one don’t really like the style⎯⎯” Gu Gui: “You like it.” No sooner than His Excellency the Marshal’s words had left his lips, the pure black mecha wheeled its toothed blade into a propeller and tore two more layers of protection from him.
Beast!
The Commander’s eyes were tearing up, but he didn’t dare to do anything on a battlefield where he could be torn to pieces by the Marshal’s hands at any moment, so he could only scream silently in his mind and replied with hatred inside, “I like it!
I love it!
I’m moving there after work today!
I’ll kill anyone who tries to steal it from me!” Gu Gui was satisfied and confirmed as a final, “The house is yours.” Who would be bored enough to make their home look like that?!
The Commander now missed his soft two-meter brown bear doll so much, but it was so painful that he dared not speak.
He just sobbed and accepted his fate.
“The house is mine⎯⎯” Satisfied, Marshal Gu ended the communication and was in a good mood as he prepared to rush back to pick up his petite wife and take him home.
The system instantly detected the change in movement and promptly reminded, “Host, the target is ready to return!” The two still had to rush back to the office and needed time on the road.
Lu Deng immediately collected himself from his playfulness and struck out sharply, dryly raising the never-used nanocannon and blasting the unknown silver mecha across the room into a sky full of tiny stars.
With time running out, Lu Deng didn’t pay too much attention to the battle, disconnected, and flipped out of the virtual training room, making his way back along the same path.
With the system helping to pinch the clock along the way, Lu Deng’s time was under control.
His body drifted into the office and propped up on the edge of the bed before settling into the chair where he was, just when Gu Gui’s footsteps rang through the door.
He was in a hurry on the road, and his breathing and heartbeat had not yet calmed down.
Lu Deng was lying on the table pretending to be asleep when he heard the door being gently opened and the footsteps that came in were instantly lightened by a few degrees when they saw his state.
Gu Gui was in a good mood.
A new place to live and the old pot had been dumped with unexpected smoothness.
This time, a villa with a garden was bought, which he heard, was specially designed for the purest of omegas.
Even the staircase handrails were made of memory material that won’t hurt when bumped into, so it’s sure to be safe and happy for the little wife to live in.
Lu Chiqiu actually remained seated in the tall office chair, pillowing his arms on the desk, and his spine gently rising and falling, obviously falling asleep.
It was wintertime on the planet Thorin.
On a planet with only 20 hours in a day and only three seasons – summer, autumn, and winter – the winter sky started to turn dark at three or four o’clock in the afternoon so the light outside the window was already dim.
The star fell hastily near the horizon, as it was much further away than the other planets.
Since it was a winter evening, even looking directly at it did not cause pain to the eyes.
The warm glow of brilliant gold falling through the twilight gilded everything with a thin edge of gold.
The clouds at the edge of the sky were tinted red, but at the junction, they cascaded into purple, and the sky, less dark than black, was like fine velvet, dipping into a quiet deep blue.
Lu Chiqiu lounged on the table, his white fingertips peeking out from his sleeves, relaxed and slightly curled, so slender that they looked like they would be broken if he was not careful.
The light shone through the window, covering every strand of the delicate omega golden.
The little face could be seen through the slightly scattered hair, the delicate and slightly warped nose tip was soft pink, and the corners of the lips were naturally curved upwards, soft and moist.
It must be nice to kiss…[mfn]Anna: I know he is the ML, but even for him, this development is too quick, like… Jue: the power of pheromones!!![/mfn] Gu Gui winced, suddenly remembering that he hadn’t yet gone to collect his inhibitor bracelet.
But the Marshal, who had just bought a house, was so full of joy and so intent on holding his little wife in his arms and giving her a good hug that he really didn’t want to turn around and make another trip upstairs just to collect the inhibitor.
He was torn between taking a trip to get the inhibitor and simply carrying him home, but in the end, Gu Gui couldn’t help but walk lightly and stretched out his hand to embrace the soft body in the chair.
The delay time was enough to adjust his state.
Lu Deng raised his head between his arms and met the Marshal carefully holding his breath.
His eyes couldn’t help but curve up, and he opened up his arms towards him.
Marshal: … Why not hold the person and make another trip to collect the inhibitor?
The Imperial Marshal, always a man of great execution, gently picked his little petite wife up and indulged himself by lowering his head to rub against the warm cheek and dropping his gaze to speak softly, “I’m sorry, was that too boring?” In his haste to leave, he had forgotten that his little wife didn’t even have a light-brain on him, and it must be hard as hell to be here with nothing to do but wait for himself.
Lu Chiqiu smiled up, shaking his head gently, and took the initiative to hug his shoulder and neck, allowing him to carry himself steadily.
“Not boring.” Not only did he sneak out to get some air, but he also played against a real person in the virtual training ground and played with an unknown silver mech for a while.
Lu Deng hadn’t had fun like this for a long time.
Gu Gui did not know what he was thinking.
He only thought that his little wife was too meek and well-behaved, his heart became more and more guilty, and he gently rubbed the top of his hair.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you, and you don’t have to obey me in everything.
I’m not⎯⎯” Halfway through the sentence, he stopped in his tracks again.
He wanted to tell Lu Chiqiu that he wasn’t an alpha who couldn’t control his behavior and wouldn’t do anything to hurt him.
That they could be like the most normal partners, that they didn’t have to rely on pheromones, that he could help each other out even when Lu Chiqiu was in heat – but hesitated at the last minute and swallowed the words all over again.
His identity must not be revealed freely, not even to his legal wife.
The Empire would not accept a non-A marshal to command the entire army.
Even if he had the strongest mental and physical qualities in the whole Empire and held uncountable hefty battle achievements, it remained the same.
Besides…he really couldn’t ignore the obvious influence the other man had on him.
This was what gave the ever cold and decisive Imperial Marshal the biggest headache.
It wasn’t that Gu Gu had never met an omega before.
Some were even more exquisite and stunningly beautiful than Lu Chiqiu’s looks, as well as sweeter and stickier.
Even possible to make several of the strongest-willed commanders under him struggle in a trance of attraction while wearing inhibitor bracelets, and had to resort to self-inflicted injuries to stay awake.
But he never felt affected by those pheromones.
Without the onslaught of pheromones, the impact of the situations was more than half reduced, plus he always had little interest in such things and had never been able to sit with his mind at ease until the end.
The first suspicions about his identity arose in the army when the results of a pheromone resistance training exercise were accidentally leaked[mfn]Anna: I’m calling it right now, it wasn’t an accident!
I bet 10 bucks!
Jue: Def not an accident!
20 bucks![/mfn].
The Imperial Marshal, who never thought he would be subjected to any kind of superfluous disturbance, was now thinking that he was on the verge of mutating to the point where he could smell the pheromones on his young wife.
It must be fragrant and sweet, perhaps the sweet aroma of popcorn in the cinema, or maybe it’s just good old milk.
Freshly boiled milk, gurgling and bubbling in the pot, a little bit of sugar sprinkled on, slowly melting into the milky liquid and having to stir it with a spoon so that it didn’t have time to melt away… I’ll be sure to make milk for my little wife when I get back tonight.
Thoughts roamed for a moment before Gu Gui pulled back in time and swept him into his arms with ease, pressing his palms against his legs.
“You’ve been sitting for so long, are you numb?” In fact, Lu Chiqiu was fine everywhere.
He was about to shake his head but was reminded desperately by the system hiding in the monitor that he was now a delicate omega.
He then hesitated and nodded slightly.
“A little bit⎯⎯” “I’ll hold you.” As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Gui took over the conversation, calmly and warmly reassured, “It’s already after work hours, no one will see anything.” And this way, they could cuddle a bit more!
Hugging the little wife to show off in front of that group of single subordinates!
Marshal Gu was so happy that he could not even close his mouth.
However, he still tried his best to put on his usual cold and majestic posture, gathered his young wife to protect him in his arms and stepped out of the office in a calm and steady manner.
Even though it’s closing time, it’s inevitable to bump into a few acquaintances as you walk around.
Soon, the news about the Marshal getting married to an omega who was so delicate that he could hardly walk on his own, and that he had gone to replace the inhibitor bracelet himself, spread quickly through the upper echelons of the military.
As the two of them made their way, at least ten military chiefs had already turned in their reports and poked their noses in to see how powerful that omega was to make the Marshal unable to handle it and had to come and change his inhibitor bracelet in order to continue being a human being.
Lu Chiqiu buried himself in Gu Gui’s shoulder for a while, waited for the two of them to turn down a corridor, and raised his hand to tug on his sleeve.
“It’s not numb now.” Gu Gui didn’t have enough cuddling, but he still respected his little wife, so placed him carefully on the ground, half-kneeling down and carefully arranging his clothes for him.
“Let’s go and get a bracelet, then we’ll go home.
The flowers are all in bloom at home, it’s beautiful.
You must like it.” His eyes lit up when he said it, and Lu Chiqiu looked up to meet his gaze, his heart getting warm as he pursed his lips.
“Mm-hmm.” Gu Gui smiled, fished out a piece of milk candy he had brought back from the sales office, peeled the cover off, and fed it into his mouth.
The milk candy was white and soft, yet sweet and delicious, exactly like the little wife of the family.
The soft lips opened obediently when touched.
The white teeth bit the candy bit by bit like the little squirrel held it in the mouth, the cheeks bulging a little.
The Marshal’s eyes were full of smiles.
He affectionately pressed the back of his hand to his cheek.
He was about to get up when he was greeted by the Commander of the First Legion, who came grinding along with his head hanging in despair.
