Cheng Qingye stepped out of the estate, letting the light of the artificial sun envelop him.
In the Insect Domain, light is a rare sight.
The Insect Domain is always enveloped in darkness, as if their very existence belongs to the dark.
But who would willingly stay in darkness forever?
At least he would not.
Hidden beneath his light brown pupils, veiled by a natural coolness, was an ambition beyond anyone’s imagination.
No, it should be said that only one person saw through his ambition.
His mother’s friend, and also the Star Lord of Wanling Star—Lu Zhiya.
"Looks like there’s sothing to do recently." Cheng Qingye murmured softly, weaving through the crowd and soon disappearing from sight.
————
anwhile, on an unknown planet.
Su Ruan slowly opened her eyes.
"Awake?"
Lu Shinian’s familiar low and sexy voice sounded in Su Ruan’s ear.
Su Ruan’s tense nerves relaxed a bit.
She propped herself up to sit, speaking, "Where is this?"
As she spoke, she glanced around to find themselves in a rather shabby-looking small room.
The room was only about a dozen square ters, with just a bed and a set of table and chairs.
The table looked dark and faintly emitted a worn-out sll, probably very old.
The quilt on the bed was also sowhat coarsely made, irritating her skin into faint redness.
As she observed, Lu Shinian replied: "This is still the Empire, but it’s part of the Edge Star."
"The Star Network is not prevalent here, reportedly only the City Lord’s ho has it."
"We were saved by a pair of trash-picking siblings; this is their room."
Lu Shinian briefly explained the current situation.
"Still in the Empire." Su Ruan murmured, "Looks like the Star Gate teleports randomly within the Empire."
Lu Shinian responded quietly, "Yes, it seems so."
"Do these siblings know about my..." Su Ruan touched her stomach, where a small life was growing.
"They don’t know." Lu Shinian continued, "They have no Light Brain, cannot connect to the Star Network."
Su Ruan let out a small breath of relief.
She didn’t wish to be surrounded by curious onlookers again.
"Right now, we..." Su Ruan paused, frowning slightly, "Do you know where the Star Gate is?"
Lu Shinian shook his head.
"After waking up, I communicated with the siblings and went to the junkyard where they found us, but there was no trace of the Star Gate."
"I suspect it might be distributed randomly sowhere on this planet."
Su Ruan grabbed Lu Shinian’s wrist.
"How long was I asleep?"
"One day and one night." Lu Shinian understood what Su Ruan ant, holding her small hand, "The Star Gate has changed; its closing ti might have as well."
"Don’t worry, Ruan Ruan."
"We’ll search for a few days first, and if we don’t find the Star Gate, we’ll think of sothing."
He raised a hand to rub her head, "No matter what, I’m here by your side."
Under his reassurance, Su Ruan gradually cald down.
"Then let’s search for the next few days."
Seeing her cald down, Lu Shinian chuckled softly.
"Actually, this isn’t so bad."
"No one knows us here, the information is isolated, doesn’t it feel like a paradise on Earth as the legends of the mother planet say?"
No one recognized them, and no one knew his little wife was pregnant, which ant they wouldn’t be in the spotlight.
To the people here, they were just ordinary folks like everyone else.
He and she could live an ordinary life as well.
At least for these few days, they could live simply.
"Though it’s a bit of a hassle, why not consider it a honeymoon?" Lu Shinian laughed softly.
Su Ruan paused, as if she understood Lu Shinian’s thoughts, then suddenly chuckled.
"Alright."
She wrapped one arm around his neck, leaning forward slightly.
"What kind of honeymoon doesn’t include a bit of kissing and cuddling?"
With those words, she kissed his lips.
After the kiss, Lu Shinian’s breathing changed.
The look he gave Su Ruan held so depth.
But at this mont, Su Ruan released her arms from around Lu Shinian, gently patting her own belly, her lips curved in a playful smile.
"Too bad it can only be kissing and cuddling."
Though she said "too bad," there wasn’t the slightest hint of regret on her face.
She wasn’t feeling sorry, she wanted to see him feel unfulfilled.
Lu Shinian guessed Su Ruan’s little sche, chuckling helplessly.
"Ruan Ruan is such a little troublemaker."
Su Ruan blinked without comnt.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Without changing expression, Lu Shinian pinched his upper leg, adjusted his breath, covered Su Ruan with a blanket, then said, "Co in."
The door opened from the outside, and a young girl dressed in coarse linen entered.
The girl had two braids, her figure slender, and the exposed wrists were almost skin and bone.
Her skin was dark, but her eyes were bright.
On seeing them, the girl said excitedly, "You finally woke up!"
Su Ruan smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you for saving ."
The girl waved her hand, quickly glanced at Lu Shinian, and smiled shyly, "I’ll go get my brother."
After saying this, she ran off quickly.
Once the girl left, Su Ruan turned to Lu Shinian and asked, "Do you know their nas?"
While helping Su Ruan straighten her clothes, Lu Shinian answered, "The brother is Ye Ziwen, and the sister is Ye Zirou."
Just as he finished speaking, Ye Zirou returned with Ye Ziwen.
Su Ruan looked at the man behind the girl, though calling him a man was not accurate; Ye Ziwen clearly had the appearance of a teenager.
Taller than Ye Zirou, but also visibly thin, his skin was the sa dark shade, and his exposed wrists were pitifully thin.
His cheeks were sunken, giving him a gaunt appearance.
Seeing the siblings, Su Ruan felt concerned about the living conditions on this planet.
"Hello, I’m Ye Ziwen." Ye Ziwen stepped forward to introduce himself.
Su Ruan nodded and introduced herself as well, "I’m Su Ruan."
"I know." Ye Ziwen looked at Su Ruan with an intense gaze she couldn’t quite comprehend, "I’ve heard Mr. Lu ntion your na."
He forced a smile.
"I believe we’ll get along well."
Su Ruan: ???
Su Ruan looked over at Lu Shinian and saw his calm expression, couldn’t help but extend a finger to poke him in the back.
Realizing her little gesture, Lu Shinian helplessly caught her roaming hand, then said in a deep voice, "Mr. Ye, I believe I’ve reiterated many tis, she’s my wife."
"But she and I have an 80% communal compatibility." Ye Ziwen insisted.
Lu Shinian: ...
Yes, there’s a little trouble with living on this planet.
And that is, people here are particularly obsessed with communal compatibility.
