The Way of the Empress

Zhuo Yang originally planned to find a way to meet the Old Yellow Fox1Going to capitalize every letter from hereon in as it’s a proper noun directly, risking exposure of his identity, and gambling his luck to ask a pandora vaccine.

But after hearing from Mrs. Shirley that Old Yellow Fox posted a request to seek medical treatment for his grandson, he decided to follow the request and treat Old Yellow Fox’s grandson.

If he can be cured, he believes that the Old Yellow Fox, as the biggest arms dealer in the interstellar, should not be a dishonest person…

At that time, he can directly ask him for a vaccine.

Zhuo Yang immediately asked Mrs. Shirley to take him over.

Old Yellow Fox’s grandson, Zhou Xu, is terminally ill. Although he had no hope of finding someone through the announcement, someone soon took him to Old Yellow Fox’s mansion after Zhuo Yang reported his identity. Trying to treat a dead horse like a living one.

After running a series of inspections on Zhuo Yang, to confirm that he was a guide, was not carrying any dangerous objects, and that there was no possibility of assassination, Zhuo Yang was taken in front of Zhou Xu’s hospital bed.

Zhou Xu is seventy years old this year, more than twice as old as Zhuo Yang. Being sick all the time in bed makes him look sullen and morbid middle-aged man.

Because his spiritual image was completely destroyed and his mental power is low, he was not as frantic and restless as those sentinels whose mental power had collapsed, but very quiet.

Zhou Xu weakly looked up at Zhuo Yang when he entered the door. Although Zhuo Yang is good-looking, he doesn’t seem to have the slightest interest. He only asked very lightly: “Are you the guide who reported to the announcement?”

“…Yes.” Zhuo Yang was a little nervous, and very afraid Zhou Xu recognized him.

The people of Jiuwei Star can’t see the news of Osphia, but it doesn’t mean that the Old Yellow Fox’s family can’t see it.

Zhou Xu looked sullen, as if he was not interested in anything. “Are you confident you can cure me?”

Seeing that he did not recognize him, Zhuo Yang breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head in response: “Yes. ”

As long as his identity as Crown Princess of Osphia is not revealed, everything is easy.

“Then give it a try.” Zhou Xu seemed indifferent to his own life and body.

Zhuo Yang responded in a low voice: “Okay!”

After getting Zhou Xu’s permission, Zhuo Yang immediately started spiritual counseling in a room with complete medical equipment to help him rebuild his spiritual image.

During the whole process, Zhou Xu was muddleheaded and didn’t care about anything.

Zhuo Yang, on the other hand, was concentrating on rebuilding Zhou Xu’s spiritual image.

Because Zhou Xu’s entire spiritual picture was destroyed and disappeared, the entire spiritual sea was dead silent. Zhuo Yang couldn’t find any mental fluctuations, and it took nearly three hours for his mental picture to improve.

Zhuo Yang was exhausted and could no longer use his mental strength, so he had to say, “This is the only thing I can do for the time being. I will continue to help you rebuild the rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”

“Three days. In no more than three days, I will definitely be able to cure you.” After he finished speaking, he added another sentence.

Zhou Xu’s expression was always indifferent. “Oh.”

However, after hearing Zhuo Yang’s words, his medical team rushed over and gave Zhou Xu the details of their inspection.

After discovering that Zhou Xu’s spiritual image was really slowly being rebuilt, they immediately cheered: “A miracle! This is a miracle.”

“Are you a guide? What level of guide are you? Being able to cure Young Master Xu’s mental breakdown, and make his dead spiritual sea fluctuate again… This is simply a miracle.” The attending physician looked at him in disbelief, with stars in his eyes. “You must be at least B+ to achieve such results.”

Zhuo Yang hesitated. Finally, he chose to hide his identity, and said, “…I am an S-level guide.”

He is the only SS-level guide in the interstellar.

“S-level guide? My god, how does a S-level guide come to our Jiuwei Star? Don’t they all stay on Osphia’s Emperor Star and are hidden by nobles and the royal family?” The attending physician immediately looked at him as if he was a rare animal. In the frontiers, guides are rare, let alone S-level guides.

For the guides born on the frontier, the highest level is only B.

It’s not that Zhou Xu didn’t invite them to heal him, but they were helpless to help.

Zhuo Yang thought for a while and said, “My sentinel is a border guard, and I followed him to the border. When passing by the Jiuwei star, our spaceship crashed, and we had to make a forced landing here.”

“Oh, so that’s the case. Then why did you think of revealing yourself and treating Young Master Xu? Shouldn’t you find a way to go back?” The attending physician looked at him suspiciously.

As far as he knew, the guides of the Osphia Emperor star all regarded their ‘virginity’ as more important than their lives…

Previously, in order to heal the young master Xu, the old man managed to kidnap an A-level guide and asked him to treat Young Master Xu. But the guide valued refused to channel the spiritual power of more than one sentinel, and would rather commit suicide than help treat Young Master Xu.

In desperation, the old man had to release him.

So why would this S-level guide help?

The attending physician thought of another possibility: “Did your sentinel send you here? Because you don’t have a spaceship to leave the Jiuwei Star?”

If that was the case, he looked at Zhuo Yang’s pretty little face and froze, feeling sorry for this poor guide.

He has seen a lot of sentinels from Emperor Star, and most of them use guides as objects. Feeling them dirty and used up, they will be thrown away.

“No, that’s not the case. My sentinel was infected with the pandora virus. I saw the bulletin and heard that only Mr. Feng could get the vaccine, so I thought of taking the risk. My sentinel is very good to me.” Zhuo Yang immediately defended Moodys. “Also, I was willing to come here after seeing the bulletin. After all, saving a life is better than not… When I was in Emperor Star, I have volunteered and helped a lot of mentally disturbed sentinels. My sentinel also supports me very much.”

He said: “When others need help, if I have the ability, I am very willing to lend a helping hand.”

“You’re a great guide.” The attending physician looked at him and sighed.

After learning that the guide’s sentinel was infected with pandora, he suddenly felt that the guide’s sentinel was probably dying. But it was not easy to say, so he could only say comfortingly: “Don’t worry, the old man is very righteous. If you can cure Young Master Xu, he will definitely get you a vaccine.”

But even if there is a vaccine, once one is infected with Pandora, they may not be able to live…

Zhuo Yang nodded lightly, but he had no intention of responding.

In the next two days, Zhuo Yang carried out multiple spiritual counseling sessions for Zhou Xu. But the legendary Old Yellow Fox never showed up.

After Zhuo Yang finished the final mental counseling session for Zhou Xu, he was secretly hesitating about how to ask them for Pandora’s vaccine.

The legendary Old Yellow Fox is here.

The largest arms dealer in the universe is over two hundred years old. He has unkempt hair, and half of his face is wildly covered with a gray beard, making it impossible to see his appearance, only revealing a pair of dark eyes belonging to Asians.

“I heard that an S-level guide came to our Jiuwei star and took the initiative to cure my grandson. Is this true? Where is this person? I want to meet him and thank him!” In the distance, he could hear his angry voice.

Zhuo Yang held his breath unconsciously, wondering how he should respond if he was recognized. How should he ask for a pandora vaccine?

As he was nervously wondering, the Old Yellow Fox, Feng Bai, walked in with great strides. After seeing that Zhou Xu had returned to normal on the medical monitor, he became excited and slapped Zhou Xu several times on the shoulders, almost bursting into tears. “Good, good, you are finally okay. Grandpa doesn’t need to worry about a white-haired person sending a black-haired person anymore. I can rest assured you’ll take care of me through retirement. Good!”

“Grandpa…” Zhou Xu, who has always been sulky throughout, obviously has a very strong affection for the Old Yellow Fox. He stood up and let him pat his shoulder painfully, but he didn’t say a word with his teary eyes.

The grandfather and grandson exchanged greetings for a while.

Zhuo Yang was worried about Moodys’s situation, and was about to interrupt by asking for a vaccine.

At this moment, the Old Yellow Fox looked at him, and asked with anger, “Are you the little guide who cured my grandson? Look up and show me.”

“Hello, Mr. Feng.” Zhuo Yang raised his head to say hello to Feng Bai.

Feng Bai narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while.

Zhuo Yang’s heart beat faster. Worried that Feng Bai recognized him, he swallowed his saliva, and quickly organized language in his stomach.

“Looks quite handsome.” Feng Bai opened his mouth and commented.

It turned out that he didn’t recognize him…

Zhuo Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. In this case… it will be more convenient to ask for a vaccine if the Old Yellow Fox doesn’t know he is a member of the royal family and didn’t remember the hatred between him and the royal family.

“I heard that you are from Emperor Star? Do you have to go back to Emperor Star? Can’t you stay in our Jiuwei Star?” Thinking Zhuo Yang was born beautiful, the Old Yellow Fox casually pointed out a pair of mandarin ducks. “What do you think of my grandson? If you pair with him, I guarantee that you will be treated better in our Jiuwei Star than you are in your Emperor Star.”

Before Zhuo Yang could say anything, Zhou Xu interrupted him: “Grandpa, don’t fool around. This kid doesn’t look over forty years old, and is still a little boy.”

“What’s wrong with him being younger? Don’t you know uncles are popular these days?” The rogue liked following trends and spilled nonsense. “I like this child very much. It’s okay to be younger.”

He narrowed his eyes, and looked at Zhou Xu again. “Or, are you still thinking about that piece of work that hurt you. Don’t forget, how did you become like before? You want to be someone’s sentinel, but they don’t want to be your guide.”

Zhuo Xu’s face darkened immediately, and he stopped talking.

Hearing these sentences, Zhuo Yang felt that there must be a story in it.

“Little guy, look at my grandson, what do you think? Can you develop?” Seeing that he didn’t speak, Feng Bai immediately looked at Zhuo Yang again, as if he really liked this child.

Zhuo Yang immediately pushed back. “Thank you for your kindness, but…”

“What? Could it be that you don’t like my grandson? He is the most powerful sentinel in our Jiuwei Star. Much better than those embroidered pillows or wine and rice bags. If my granddaughter is still there… I would want her to marry Xiao Xu2Zhuo Xu’s baby name.” Feng Bai interrupted before he finished speaking, forcefully selling his grandson.

Zhuo Yang smiled politely but said, “But I am married and have a sentinel.”

“You are married and have a sentinel.” Feng Bai looked at him in disbelief.

Zhuo Yang revealed the ring on his hand. “Yes, I’m married. In fact, I came to report in order to save my sentinel.”

“What are you doing getting married so early?” Feng Bai complained like an old child, but no longer bothered to forcefully sell his grandson.

Although the biggest arms dealer in the interstellar space looks fierce, he is a man with a lot of commitment and credibility, and he is also kind to the younger generation.

After Zhuo Yang explained his situation and needs, he sent someone to bring over a vaccine. “Don’t you just want the vaccine? I just have the last one left here for you. Take it, save your sentinel.”

“If he can be cured, I will send someone to take you back. If he can’t be cured, come back to me. I think you have fate with my child, and Xiao Xu owes you a huge favor. I’ll send someone to take you home.” Feng Bai said.

Zhuo Yang was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to pick up the vaccine. “Thank you, thank you Mr. Feng.”

For some reason, he has a very good impression of this old arms dealer.

Feng Bai’s eyesight had some problems. Previously, Zhuo Yang stood far away, and his quantum beast was also far away. He could only see from a distance that Zhuo Yang’s quantum beast was like a white dog or something.

However, when Zhuo Yang approached, he saw it fully…

The moment Feng Bai saw Zhuo Yang’s quantum beast, his face suddenly changed. “Nine-tailed fox… your quantum beast is a nine-tailed fox?”

“Osphia, the royal family of Osphia… Are you the crown princess of Osphia? Your sentinel is the crown prince of Osphia.” Lowering his head, he saw Zhuo Yang’s ring at a glance.

He hates the royal family of Osphia.

“Mr. Feng…” Zhuo Yang panicked. After a mental counseling session, his quantum beast can’t be put away for some time.

The Crown Princess of Osphia is a SS-level guide, with a nine-tailed fox for a quantum beast. This is known to the entire empire.

Earlier, when Feng Bai didn’t recognize him or his quantum beast, and talked to him, he was relieved, thinking that Feng Bai didn’t pay attention to the news of Empire Star, and only cared about Jiuwei  Star.

But now…

Feng Bai took the vaccine back from Zhuo Yang’s hand at once. “Go away. My vaccine will be used to save cats, but I won’t use it to save the people of Osphia’s royal family. ”

“I don’t understand what kind of grievance there is between you and the Osphia royal family, but no matter how big the grievance is, my sentinel is only forty-two years old. It has nothing to do with him.” Zhuo Yang summoned his courage and continued. “Even if the Osphia royal family is really at fault… You also promised to give me the vaccine, and I also saved your grandson.”

“Being a human means paying attention to credibility and keeping one’s word and promises made to others, right?”

“Trust? Credibility? Keep your word? There is no credibility between me and you members of the royal family.” Feng Bai’s eyes turned red and bloodshot all of a sudden. He slapped the table violently, making it shake. “Not the fault of younger generations. No matter how big the grievance is, it has nothing to do with your sentinel?”

“Then your emperor, sixty years ago, when he sent people to hunt down my pregnant daughter, and bombarded my daughter who never stepped on an ant and my granddaughter who was less than five years old with missiles, why didn’t you think that the child was innocent?” Feng Bai was furious.

He fell into extremely painful memories in an instant. “My daughter, Chu Chu, she has never fired a gun in her life. She will faint when she gets on a mecha, and her hand only touches books. How ridiculous, an arms dealer’s daughter doesn’t know how to shoot… Her mother left early, leaving her such a small her behind that could be shattered with a touch. Do you know how much it cost me? How much effort, how hard it was to raise her from such a small child? To raise her so well until she grew up?… She got married, I had a granddaughter, and would have a grandson soon…”

“But all this was ruined by your Osphia royal family.” Feng Bai’s eyes almost leapt out the frame. “Ruined! You don’t let go of pregnant women and children, and you are not worthy to talk to me about future generations!”

Stunned, Zhuo Yang hesitantly asked after a moment: “Mr. Feng, your, your daughter is…”

This story was too familiar to him.

Unexpectedly, there are relatives still from the Xue family…

“My daughter is Feng Chu.” Feng Bai replied loud and clear. “Her husband is called Xue Zhanting.”

 

Lolol. Trying to pair ZY with someone else.
