Ch. 17

Chapter 17

He Xile suddenly had a burst of inspiration and had a lot of bad things to say about His Majesty.

If the Supervisory Committee were to make further inquiries, he would ensure that he would spend half an hour more in his study this time than before. No, at least half an hour.

He took a slow, deep breath and held it for a while.

What's standing in front of you right now is your breadwinner or Hexina's king.

Most importantly, even ten of you can't beat him.

"Why don't you move? Not satisfied?" His Majesty's voice was low as he spoke. The black lines on half of his face once again turned up tiny scales, looking like he was about to get angry.

The guard standing beside him subconsciously moved.

It was only a short moment, but it still caught His Majesty's eye.

The guards gave him a beat and stood in place again as if he were petrified.

"...No dissatisfaction. Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ladder was fixed well, so there shouldn't be any accidents.

He walked up the ladder and climbed on it. It was like climbing on the upper bunk of his dorm room during his high school residency, and he went up in three or two tries. After sitting firmly on the stool, He Xile blinked.

Hiss!

Although this ladder was extremely insulting, it was unexpectedly easy to use.

At least it was much more convenient than He Xile's previous effort of climbing the stool by himself.

Wen Jiyu was obviously very satisfied with He Xile's "performance."

He made a low "hmmm" sound and added, "Today's outfit is nice." After saying this, he turned around and walked away. Most of the time, His Majesty would arrive at the restaurant before He Xile, and by the time He Xile arrived, the other party had basically finished eating.

“Your Excellency, here is your meal.”

“Today, His Majesty arrived at 11:00 am and finished his breakfast long ago but never left,” the chef whispered, putting his freshly cooked food in front of him.

He Xile raised his eyes and looked at the chef.

The chef meant that His Majesty was actually waiting for He Xile, which was why he hadn't left.

He said, “I know that.”

But that didn't offset the depression in He Xile's heart.

He had never seen such a wicked person as His Majesty, who spoke and acted completely unpredictable. But to cast aside the other's behavior and words, it could be seen from the depths that His Majesty actually cared about him.

It made He Xile jump back and forth between “His Majesty is a great man” and “His Majesty may have that serious illness.”

Never mind.

These two evaluations didn't seem to be in conflict.

It was better to stand on one side.

As the strong aroma of meat wafted through his nostrils, he immediately left everything behind him and sat upright, forgetting about His Majesty, and happily enjoying the food.

Today he moved a lot, which was equal to the sum of his waking up.

So after eating, he sat on the promenade, basking in the warm sun, and refused to go for a walk no matter what. Hugging the pillar like a trickster, he said, “No go, no go.”

Seeing this scene, the guard felt his heart melt.

He persuaded in a gentle voice, “Your Excellency, there is a special circumstance in the hall. It is best for you not to go out for the next three days, so if you don't go today, I'm afraid you will be bored for the next few days.”

What?

Can’t go out for the next three days?

Isn’t that a good thing?

He was tired from walking back and forth all morning, and now he just wanted to rest.

He even swore in his heart that if anyone could persuade him to go for a walk again today, he would take that person's surname.

“It's okay, I won't feel bored.”

He Xile shook his head and said, “I have a rather homely personality, but it's just that I don't go out for three days, which is completely acceptable.” He raised his wrist and shook his brand new personal terminal, “And isn't there Star Net?”

Hexinna was different from Earth.

The terminal technology here was very advanced, and shopping on the Star Net was similar to going out, not to mention that He Xile had only just arrived in Hexinna and was curious about everything on the Star Net. He had a lot of interest in the books in the free library on the Star Net that he hadn't yet finished reading. Not going out for three days—even seven days—would be fine.

Seeing that the human persisted, the guard sighed softly.

Who could bear to force a cute little human being to do something he didn't like?

Especially His Excellency He Xile, who has been holding the pillar with his hands. From start to finish, he didn’t let go of it.

“Alright, Your Excellency. But you can't go back on your word after you say so.”

“I know.”

He Xile's expression was serious, and he solemnly promised, “I'll be good in these few days. By the way, is the hall organizing some kind of event that it's inconvenient for me to show up?” He asked curiously.

The guard paused for a moment as he thought of something, his brows furrowed slightly as if he were afraid, he vaguely said, “There will indeed be an event recently.”

He Xile, “?”

He Xile didn't understand, and guessing that it was difficult to talk about, he didn't ask the guard any more questions.

He relaxed and leaned against the pillars of the corridor.

The golden sun spread down, making He Xile feel warm all over. There were wisteria-like flowers climbing on the top of the corridor, exuding a pleasant fragrance, and the warm breeze blew on his face.

Unknowingly, he felt a little drowsy.

The surroundings were quiet, no chirping birds or cicadas from Earth could be heard, only occasionally the wind was a bit stronger, blowing the leaves of the trees next to him with a clattering sound. Occasionally there were patrolling palaces, warriors in armor passing by, and the sound of neat footsteps from far and near and gradually far away.

He Xile suddenly thought that it was great to be able to have life again after dying.

If his parents knew about this, they wouldn’t secretly wipe their tears behind his back. Recalling back, his eyes were slightly moist.

His eyes closed on their own, he took a nap for a while, and then got up energetically. “Let's go back.”

Guard, “OK.”

The two walked back side by side. Arriving at the room, He Xile closed the door, ran to the stool, and sat down.

He rubbed his somewhat sore calves and couldn't wait to log into Star Net.

Shortly after the live broadcast started, the number in the upper right corner changed from "0" to "1," and the robot appeared in his live broadcast room on time, in a weathered appearance.

“Good afternoon," Xile greeted, and curiously asked, “It's still you? Are you fixedly sent to review my live broadcast, or are you randomly assigned here?”

The robot, of course, didn't reply to He Xile.

He Xile shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, if you don't say anything, I'll take it that you're fixated on watching my live broadcast."

In a good mood, he hummed a tune and said, “Today's plan is also to study hard, but before studying, I have to eat something delicious to be motivated.”

He Xile positioned the coordinates to a relatively well-known snack street, but as soon as he arrived at the place, his figure appeared at the portal, and a person rushed out like a whirlwind beside him!

These non-humans on Hexinna were all relatively large, and correspondingly, their strength wasn't something to play around with.

He Xile was unprepared, so he slumped in the shape of the belt and landed straight on the floor.

The Star Net was linked to the nerves, and the feelings it brought were very real. He Xile sat on the ground, his hands braced against the place, feeling a dull pain coming from his tailbone.

It happened so fast that He Xile was a bit confused.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

When the man apologized, everyone had already moved ten steps away.

He didn't intend to take care of it at first, but when he turned around subconsciously, he saw a small person sitting on the ground, and he immediately guessed that the person he knocked down should be a minor. Thinking of the purpose of his trip and looking at the little guy sitting on the ground and never standing up, the man was very hesitant. He played a game in his heart, and finally, he was dejected and chose to come back.

“Are you ok?”

The man stretched out his arms, picked up He Xile by the back of his neck, like he was carrying a kitten, and pulled him up.

He Xile’s feet dangled in the air. "???"

He Xile's heart suddenly collapsed.

How could this be!

The neck and arms that were strangled by the clothes felt uncomfortable. He Xile said with difficulty, "...I'm fine. Can you let me down first?"

“Oh, sorry.”

The man also immediately realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, he quickly let go of him and said, “I'm sorry, I've been taking care of the kid recently, I'm used to it…”

He coughed lightly and asked again, “Do you still have any discomfort?”

He Xile's feet finally touched the ground.

After realizing it, he realized that the pain in his tailbone was no longer there.

Shaking his head, He Xile said, "No."

“The terminal is connected to the nerves. It's normal to feel pain when you fall, and it will be fine soon, and it won't affect your reality.”

The man was like pouring beans, and he spoke very fast. After he finished his explanation, he said, "Since you are fine, then I will go first. If you need anything more, just call the police! There's surveillance here, and the security team will find me directly.” With that, the man looked serious, patted He Xile on the shoulder, and ran away again.

He Xile, "..."

Ah this…

Looking at the people around, they all looked like they were in a competition, all rushing in the same direction.

It was the first time he saw this battle and felt that the momentum was even greater than when Youduyi was fighting against that one.

Hmmm?

Is there anything exciting to watch?

A little curious with the situation that he didn't even care about the snacks anymore, he followed everyone in that direction.

This snack street was originally narrower and crowded, but soon it was clogged up.

“I don't know if they will all be sold out by the time we arrive…”

“Not to be, right?”

“My God, what you said made me anxious.”

There was lots of noise around.

A large amount of data was entered, and the terminal translation was relatively slow. He Xile was at the side in a daze, listening to the words of a few people nearby. It seemed that they were trying to grab something.

Well, there was a discount in the supermarket in an instant, and the aunts were scrambling to buy Neiweier.

At the same time, inside the palace, Wen Jiyu was originally accompanying He Xile's broken thoughts, concentrating on annotating a regulation, but at this moment, his heart couldn’t calm down. Frowning tightly, Wen Jiyu raised his blood-red eyes and looked at the screen displayed on the terminal not far away.

It was densely packed, and there were people everywhere.

The surrounding noise almost broke through the screen and echoed in the entire empty hall, making Wen Jiyu, who had always been quiet, felt like his head was about to explode.

He had a gloomy face with black lines on one side, and the scales turned up almost instantly.

Looking at He Xile again, he was relatively short and thin. He seemed to be completely unaffected by the crowd around him, and he could even be said to be flexible enough that he could slowly move from the countless legs, squeezing to the edge.

It seemed to be leaving.

Wen Jiyu felt relieved.

But next second.

He Xile's cheerful voice came, "Brother, I want to try this!"

“Well, it smells so good—"

“That looks good, is it delicious? Is it a snack recipe passed down from your ancestors? Give me this one too!"

“I still want to drink this colorful drink!"

He Xile didn’t leave as Wen Jiyu thought, but followed the speed of the slowly advancing crowd and ate all the snacks at the snack bars along the way leisurely and contentedly.

After finishing his last sip of drink, He Xile burped a little.

Ah…
