Hua Li didn't pay much attention to Star Network gossip, so she searched for information about Long Zhan when she first came here. Later, she never looked up information about wormholes.
It seems that the so-called gift is not in Xuexing, and Long Zhan is still looking for it.
Hua Li ignored it. He was more concerned about Oren's progress. He knew that studying intermittent wormholes was a very complicated matter and could not be concluded in two or three days, but the silent anxiety still spread in his heart.
He has been away from the Deep Sea Kingdom for too long.
But there was nothing to do but wait.
The days pass by day by day, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Long Zhan only sent a few text messages, and Hua Li simply replied that he would not take the initiative to contact Long Zhan, and he thought that he did not think about him very often.
But Hua Li still hears Long Zhan's name every day.
"Master, the Star Network broke the news that the Second Prince suddenly descended on an asteroid in the Dome constellation of the Beta Star Territory yesterday and slaughtered more than a dozen strange beasts in one night." Yun Lin reported during breakfast.
"Master, the second prince appeared in the Φ star field ore belt again today and hijacked a star pirate spaceship!" Yun Lin was still reading the news from the star network during breakfast.
"Master, the second prince went to a place 146 light years away again——" On a new day, Yun Lin worked tirelessly.
"Shut up." Hua Li interrupted.
"——Roman Star, huh? Master, why don't you listen?" Yun Lin was puzzled.
Thanks to chatting with the eldest prince Long Fei, Yun Lin's understanding of Long Zhan has greatly improved now. Moreover, he knows that the master and Long Zhan are a real couple. There is that special "interaction" between husband and wife, and the master is more I'll miss you less.
"I don't want to hear it." Hua Li replied, and after eating the omelette, he went upstairs alone.
Yun Lin scratched his head and looked at his master's back: "...Oh."
Hua Li returned to the bedroom and went to the balcony to enjoy the breeze.
He was a little upset. He always believed that returning home was the only important thing. Although he lost control of his courtship and "marked" Long Zhan again, and he did fall in love with Long Zhan more and more, but... the
intermittent wormhole was uncontrollable, and the uncertainty of returning home was still there. It's so big that he won't even think about the possibility of going back and forth between the two worlds.
Therefore, going home and staying with Long Zhan are ultimately contradictory.
He had been separated from Long Zhan for more than ten days. The sweet relationship established in the quiet and cold environment of Bingxing had faded a lot. The excitement during the courtship period and the dragon control had also disappeared. Hua Li carefully distinguished in her heart and thought that she was still right. The emotions of the people prevailed.
The morning breeze blew through her long hair, disturbing Hua Li's eyes, and flowed into her loose house pants, making her legs feel cold.
"..." Hua Li suddenly hated these two legs. Damn it, when did he get used to life on land?
Hua Li immediately went downstairs. Yun Lin was disturbed by his hurried footsteps. Seeing that he was about to get on the speeding car without changing his clothes, he hurriedly caught up and asked, "Master, where are you going?" "To the
beach, you don't have to follow." After that, he drove off. Leave.
Hua Li came to the seaside town of Yokwa, which was the place where Hua Li crashed and the beginning of his bond with this interstellar world.
Since the pollution particle incident, the beach here has been guarded by security forces for a long time. It is early in the morning, and there is no one on the entire beach.
He stopped the speed car at random, took off his shoes and stepped into the sea water.
The sea water that had been freezing all night was very biting. Hua Li was not afraid and walked slowly deeper. Soon, the waves flooded his chest. Hua Li's toes turned into fish tails and he jumped in.
The ear fins and gills grow out, replacing the lungs for breathing. The elbow fins and anal fins assist, and the smooth and sharp fish scales help him easily break through the resistance and keep moving downward.
As the light faded, schools of fish and turtles cruised past, Hua Li continued to dive, and finally arrived at the place where the black hole was last discovered.
Now that it was naturally flat, he stopped, turned his fish tail back into his legs, and walked slowly on the rough sand.
...
Hua Li vented her heart out at the bottom of the sea. It was almost noon, and Yun Lin asked via text message before returning to the sea and driving home.
As soon as I got off the train, I could clearly feel the change.
There is an additional battleship in the open space in front of the living hall.
...It was the ship dispatched by Snow Star Boleye.
The battleship was originally bright and majestic, but now it was covered with scars, burned by fire, bitten by huge teeth, scratched by particle bombs... There was also a missing piece of the tail, and it looked like it was about to be scrapped.
Long Zhan is back? Did he drive this piece of shit back? No problems with the jump?
Hua Li unconsciously quickened his pace, but Yun Lin kept waiting and ran out after hearing the sound: "Master! He's back!"
Hua Li entered the hall and did not see Long Zhan.
"Where are the people?" His home clothes were soaked and there were grass clippings on his feet.
"Already gone upstairs..." Yun Lin's face was full of worry, "The second prince looks exhausted. Master, please change your clothes quickly..."
Hua Li walked directly upstairs.
The closer he got to the master bedroom, the more silent he felt around him. So quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat.
Hua Li stood still in front of the door.
No.
He should turn away.
His relationship with Long Zhan is close enough and there is no need to get any closer. Are his people more important? If he has to give up one side, should he choose not to be responsible for Long Zhan?
But he is also naturally arrogant, so arrogant that his sense of responsibility is deeply ingrained in his bones. He can't abandon Yun Lin, nor can he abandon Long Zhan, he is not Hua Li.
Hua Li put her hand on the handle. The "click" smart door lock recognizes the owner's identity and opens it gently.
There was something a little different inside the house than when I left.
The dirty combat uniform was torn and thrown on the carpet. Before it could be recovered by the machine butler, a series of wet footprints were seen from the bathroom door to the bedside.
Long Zhan was lying on the bed in silken clothes, his black hair dripping with water, completely soaking the pillow.
Hearing the noise, he tilted his head without opening his eyes.
"Li Li," the voice was extremely hoarse and full of tiredness, "Don't worry, I don't want to make our bed dirty, wash it very clean..."
Hua Li walked closer, her eyelids twitching heavily.
I saw that Long Zhan's back was covered with bloodstains, the flesh was split open in several places, and blood beads were oozing out. There were two wounds on the thighs bitten by giant teeth. Bones were visible deep inside, but scabs began to form around the wounds. The arms were also bruised and swollen in different colors, obviously accumulated over several days.
The bed sheets and silk quilts were already dyed red.
This guy... what exactly did he do?
Sensing Hua Li's gaze, Long Zhan explained in a hurry: "In the past ten days, I have slept no more than 10 hours in total... But...it's okay in the end."
The voice was very low, as soft as talking in a dream.
"You don't need to be in a hurry, or you can bring more people." Hua Li heard herself say.
"Urgent, why aren't you in a hurry..." Long Zhan just lay there, not even having the strength to move, "And it makes the most sense for me to do this alone..."
Hua Li was speechless.
Long Zhan's body was strong, but at the moment he was seriously injured, but he looked pitiful. He looked at it for a while, and the irritability and entanglement in his heart temporarily subsided.
After thinking about it, Hua Li turned around and went into the bathroom to rinse briefly, then returned to the bedroom and lay down next to Long Zhan, who had been fighting for more than ten days and was already overdrawn.
"Lili..." Long Zhan noticed that the mattress was slightly sunken and called out in a low voice, "Lili..."
He had never been so tired, but there was no sign of violence. It seemed that since Bingxing spent those few days with his wife, The spiritual sea is extremely stable.
"I'm here." Hua Li opened her lips and said in Long Zhan's ear with a pleasant baritone voice, then raised her hand to touch the scar on Long Zhan's back.
The cold fingertips touched the hot skin, causing Long Zhan's latissimus dorsi to tighten.
"Hmm..." He snorted, "Good boy, I can't talk to you now... Hmm!"
Hua Li naturally refused to listen and slowly moved down the wound, while using the healing mental power to stimulate the cells. Rapid reorganization and growth.
He was leaning on his side, his right hand was under his head, and he was operating carelessly with his left hand. Within a moment, long Zhan's back was filled with dense beads of sweat, and his skin was red from stimulation.
"Hmph..." Long Zhan also felt his wife's unique spiritual power, which was both like a warm breeze and like the most steady and ruthless surgeon in the empire. The threads penetrated the blood vessels through the surface and traveled throughout the body. Eventually it penetrates into the bones.
"Lili...what are you doing...?" The injured SSS-level fire dragon was so unbearable that his voice began to tremble.
"Treatment." Hua Li spat out two words lightly. He raised his body and put his hand on the place on his leg where the beast had bitten him.
The alien beasts in the interstellar world are very big, far exceeding the corpse bears of Ice Star. Although the attack power of the undead corpse bears is not as abnormal, once bitten, the physical tearing damage to the muscles is extremely exaggerated.
Hua Li could roughly guess how Long Zhan entered the strange beast's lair just to confirm the legendary gift.
This guy... is such a brainless idiot.
Long Zhan's leg was the most seriously injured, and Hua Li spent a lot of mental energy to make the two holes look less scary.
Feeling that the treatment was almost done, Hua Li took back her hand. Long Zhan was still trembling slightly. As Hua Li left, he grabbed hold of her and buried his face in the long hair, whimpering.
"Your treatment hurts... Lili..."
"Shh..." Hua Li put away her hair, "Go to sleep."
The main planet has a warm climate, and Long Zhan is a fire dragon, so he doesn't need a blanket, so Hua Li just Let him lie down like that. The treatment began to take effect, and after Long Zhan's pain subsided, sleepiness came over him overwhelmingly, quickly overwhelming him.
...
Long Zhan slept for three days and three nights.
After waking up, with his strong physique and Hua Li's treatment, his body had basically recovered. He went downstairs to the kitchen to fill his stomach and later found his wife in the back garden.
"Li Li." The returning second prince was extremely happy, "I am resurrected with full blood."
He rubbed himself against Hua Li like a big dog and insisted on squeezing into a beach chair with his wife who was sunbathing.
"Ha." Hua Li pushed him away.
"Would you like to go to the military headquarters with me?" Long Zhan looked at his watch, "There's a lot of work piled up."
"No." Hua Li didn't want to be like Long Zhan's conjoined twins anymore.
"Why, you only care about the progress of the wormhole?" Long Zhan reached out and pinched Hua Li's earlobe. It was soft and tender, and he really wanted to take a bite.
"Yeah." Hua Li made no secret of it.
Long Zhan became interested: "You haven't explained to me yet, what planet are you looking for? Tell me clearly, and I can help you find it better." Hua Li glanced at Long Zhan and said meaningfully: "
I I have a lot of things to tell you, but it's a pity that a certain second prince is too busy."
Long Zhan couldn't help it after all. He buried his face in his hair and smelled it carefully: "My wife, go to the military headquarters with me first, and take a seat. Next to me, the work efficiency will be very high."
He slid his stiff nose to his wife's chin: "Then we will come back early, wash up, and tell me slowly in bed, okay?"
Hearing this, Hua Li raised his head He raised his eyelids and said with a half-smile, "Tonight?"
"Tonight." The second prince repeated ambiguously.
"Okay." Hua Li responded readily.
