Zhuo Yang was just in his early twenties, and was still young and healthy. He believed in the words “love is made from doing” and “desire and love are inseparable”.

Therefore, after confirming that Moodys’ body truly recovered, whenever they weren’t busy on Emperor Star, Zhuo Yang will pull Moodys away.

This kind of thing – it seems that if they don’t come a few times a day, his heart will not calmly and soundly fall asleep.

Zhuo Yang is young and quick to accept and try new things. He often caught Moodys by surprise. He is willing to try any posture and play, and is not ashamed of it… In order to increase the excitement, he will also buy some props, costumes, and flimsy sleepwear to seduce Moodys.

It often made Moodys’ blood boil, with some painful happiness… and desire.

Zhuo Yang felt a little pain at the start, but after getting used to it, he became more comfortable, and more and more inseparable from Moodys.

He is very clingy, and he likes Moodys’ breath very much. Even when sleeping, he has to hold one of Moodys’s arms.

Moodys is helpless with a sweet heart, and can only indulge him with a smile.

“You must have been a little milk cat in your last life. Otherwise, why are you so clingy? Huh?” Tonight, Zhuo Yang wore a nearly transparent sleepwear to seduce Moodys. He went crazy and while resting during a break, Moodys held the person who was begging for a kiss, and complained very fondly, kissing Zhuo Yang on his hairline and cheek.

Zhuo Yang put his arms around his neck and moved his teeth lightly, gnawing his shoulders without lust and playfully. “I’m just this clingy. Even if you get bothered by it, you have to bear with me for a lifetime.”

“Oh? How can I keep you for the rest of my life?” Moodys asked with a low smile.

Zhuo Yang squeezed his cheeks. “You have to tell me stories for the rest of your life. Kiss me a hundred times a day, spoil me, love me for the rest of your life, and never be angry with me…”

“Understand?” He mentioned all the conditions he could think of. And finally stopped when he couldn’t think of anymore.

Moodys looked at him fondly, feeling that in during such an intimate moment, even if Zhuo Yang wanted the stars and moon in the sky, he would also agree to pick them up for him. “Okay.”

Zhuo Yang looked at Moodys spoiling him, and couldn’t help but kiss him again.

He simply feels that the person in front of him is so cute no matter what, and he likes it so much.

Although Moodys was caught off guard by his kiss, he had already formed a habit and kissed back. The two kissed for a while. Moodys’s breathing became slightly heavy, and he looked at Zhuo Yang with deep eyes. “…shall we continue?”

Of course, this type of action was learned from Zhuo Yang.1As in ZY seduces him so much, that Moodys became a bad boy.

“No, I can’t stand it anymore. The past two days are too much, my back hurts…” Zhuo Yang shook his head and refused.

Seeing him like this, Moodys couldn’t help chuckle, light tapping his nose. “Unexpectedly, you also have a day when you can’t take it anymore, little madman!”

“Before, I was deliberately indulging you. Now you know it’s uncomfortable, and should learn how to exercise restraint. See if you’re so silly in the future.” Moodys teased, his tone resembling that of an elder.

Smiling, Zhuo Yang grabbed the hand playing with his nose and bite it with a sneer. “No matter what, I’m younger than you, uncle… I should be the one worrying you can’t do it.”

He took advantage of his age to attack Moodys.

Those with hard mouths need to be taught a lesson.

Moodys pulled him over and pressed him under him. “Well, it seems that you are indeed young, and are still very energetic.”

He did not hesitate to teach Zhuo Yang a lesson, letting Zhuo Yang be good.

After the two calmed down again, Zhuo Yang completely lost the energy to learn. He didn’t want it anymore and stopped teasing Moodys. When he couldn’t sleep, he turned on optical brain and looked at the materials he had prepared for the banquet tomorrow.

Moodys glanced at his optical brain. “What are you looking at?”

“Looking at the information for tomorrow’s banquet. I’m still wondering how to persuade those stubborn aristocratic guides agree to help other sentinels soothe their spiritual strength.” Zhuo Yang couldn’t help frowning at the thought of tomorrow.

Because aristocratic sentinels have too much exclusivity towards their own guides, sentinel cancers are rampant. Their guides are not allowed to help other sentinels, restricting the number of guides further. They have become a luxury product, exclusive to the nobility, causing many low-level sentinels without guides to go crazy… Within 10 years, most are unable to bear the suffering and many die before they can reach 70. As a result. the number of sentinels in Osphia has drastically reduced, and the number of mental patients has only increased, so much so that hospitals cannot accommodate them anymore.

Before the outer galaxies reunified, the number of imprisoned guides and availability of drugs are barely enough control the number of mentally ill sentinels.

But now that many border planets returned, things are starting to get out of control…

Because of the 75 year blockade, the number of sentinels with mental breakdowns at the border increased to the point where medical resources are no longer sufficient.

Moodys and Zhuo Yang considered it carefully. They always felt that continuing like this was a problem. The number of sentinels and guides in Osphia were not plentiful to begin with, and sentinels could not be allowed to continue dying like this.

Therefore, they decided to pass new reforms. Starting with the aristocratic circle with the largest number of guides, encouraging them to abandon their long-term ignorance and treatment of themselves like a sentinel’s exclusive accessory. They must stand up to help guide more sentinels so they can survive… and eventually spread this thinking to the hearts of all citizens.

However, in the face of these stubborn sentinel cancers, is changing their minds that a guide is their exclusive tool and letting them help channel other people’s spiritual power, so easy?

Zhuo Yang’s own mother was dismissed by Zhuo Hengyuan because of this-

Zhuo Yang felt his head hurt thinking about these stupid sentinel cancers.

“Maybe, you can go to the little uncle for help, and let him persuade these stubborn guides. Gu Che and I will do work with the sentinels.” Moodys thought for a while and gave suggestions. “Changdi Qing’s status is very high within the social circle and many aristocratic guides are willing to listen to him. If you can convince him to help you, I think you can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Zhuo Yang rubbed his slightly painful forehead and replied: “Okay~”

He has no objection to Moodys’s suggestion.

Because, Zhuo Yang made an appointment with him first, Changdi Qing was the first to arrive at the banquet.

“Hello, my respected Royal Highness.” Because of his status as an elder, Changdi Qing gave Zhuo Yang a non-standard greeting.

Zhuo Yang didn’t take it to heart, and leaned slightly towards him: “It’s been a long time, uncle.”

Changdi Qing, Dean, is 110 years old this year, almost time times older than his fanatical suitor and little lover Gordon. He was the youngest son of the previous emperor, and also the half-brother of Emperor Winston the Great. He was also the most beloved and full-blooded brother of Hannibal, the crown prince 75 years ago.

After Crown Prince Hannibal was found to have done such cruel and heinous things, when he was about to be arrested, he held his little brother hostage in order to escape.

After Hannibal escaped and killed his second and third brothers from the same mother, the young Changdi Qing was terribly frightened, and did not get over it for many years.

In the royal family, from Emperor Winston down to Moodys, they were all very fond of him.

Although he is a member of the royal family, he is very gentle and easy-going. He is deeply loved and highly praised by the entire aristocratic circle, and is an out-and-out socialist.

After knowing what Zhuo Yang and Moodys were planning to do, he immediately expressed his support. “Of course, of course. This is a good thing. Your Highness asking me to help – I will definitely mobilize my circle of friends to talk to them and let them support you and His Royal Highness’s proposition.”

“Initially, a guide should not be a sentinel’s accessory. If the spiritual power of a guide has entered the spiritual sea of ​​more than one sentinel, it will be dirty… what kind of fallacy is this?” As soon as Zhuo Yang spoke, he expressed his extreme support.

Zhuo Yang looked at him happily, full of gratitude. “That’s great, thank you so much, uncle.”

“Your Royal Highness, you are welcome.” Dean followed with a smile.

Soon after the banquet began, people began to arrive one after another.

Zhuo Yang announced that he and Moodys wanted to ask those guides who belonged to a sentinel to help the country, abandon their old ideas, and provide spiritual guidance for other sentinels who are about to be tortured to death by mental breakdown. Guiding sentinels mentally is not dirty, and is saving lives, just like doctors and nurses.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Zhuo Yang in disbelief, as if he was crazy.

The sentinels began to whisper and talk. Their eyes looking at Zhuo Yang were full of contempt, as if the very suggestion was appalling.

“What, let my guide help other sentinels channel their mental power, how can this work? Isn’t that equivalent to my wife sleeping with someone else?”

“No, no, I won’t agree…”

“Once a guide’s spiritual power has entered the spiritual sea of ​​more than one sentinel, no, no, it’s so dirty… It’s even more dirty than having sex with others!”

“What are you thinking about? Who came up with this idea? ”

…

Most of them don’t agree with Zhuo Yang’s approach, thinking it’s too shocking.

“Everyone, everyone, please quiet down and listen to me. The spiritual power of a guide entering the spiritual sea of ​​other sentinels to help them channel spiritual power is not a spiritual combination, nor is it related to sexual desire and those bedside matters. There is absolutely none of that having your wife sleep with someone else. This is just asking your partner to take the lead and do a favor when others need help…”

 

The minor nuance if y’all forgot – spiritual bonding or branding oneself is what Zhuo Yang did to Moodys (thus fox > lion) – but soothing or channeling doesn’t require the bonding part. Recall, Zhuo Yang did not spiritually bind with Moodys until after he helped soothe his spiritual sea.
