However, in the next moment, the image abruptly cut off.
Tong Sui was momentarily stunned, and then grew anxious.
“Why did you disconnect? I haven’t finished watching!”
If he could extend it for a few more seconds, perhaps Bai Xingluo could wake up, but it was cut off too quickly.
The system whispered, “It seems like I can’t connect anymore because my level is too low. Using this feature is unstable, but after we complete the task, I will become stronger and have more functions.”
Well, that sounded like empty promises, but Tong Sui reluctantly chose to believe it.
At least he now knew that Luo Luo was safe.
After resting in his room for a short while, he was called out for a meal.
The dishes were exceptionally beautiful, with presentation and colors that could not be faulted, accompanied by soothing music during the meal.
However, the taste of the food was lacking; he felt it was not half as good as what Luo Luo made.
Tong Sui hurriedly finished eating and returned to his room.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and behind the handsome, unfamiliar female bug butler were several clothing racks.
The attendants pushed all the clothes inside.
“Your Highness, these are the outfits for you to wear at tomorrow’s banquet. You can choose the one you like to try on.”
Tong Sui was not looking forward to this so-called banquet.
He casually glanced through the outfits and spotted a very familiar military uniform.
The deep blue fabric was not particularly luxurious; it was rather unassuming, yet Tong Sui pointed to it.
“Just this one.”
The bug butler seemed taken aback; generally, in banquet situations, bugs rarely chose to wear military uniforms, as it was considered gauche.
Most would prefer to wear elaborate and extravagant gowns.
“Are you sure you want this one?”
Tong Sui nodded firmly.
Thus, the butler ordered the attendants to take out the military uniform separately and press it neatly, hanging it on the rod in the room.
The other clothes were stuffed into the accompanying massive wardrobe outside the room.
The next day, the night descended heavily.
The banquet hall was even more extravagant than last time, impeccably decorated, filled with more upper-class families and celebrity nobility, all dressed elegantly, waiting in the hall.
They casually conversed, yet their gazes were directed towards the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
They gathered with one single focus: the new prince.
Undoubtedly, he would be the next bug emperor.
Moreover, he had no female partner by his side, not even the only female attendant, who had gone missing; seizing this opportunity could help them ascend to great heights.
After waiting for a long while, the banquet hall gradually dimmed.
All the bugs became unavoidably excited.
They watched as the beam of light fell on the staircase, and from the darkness emerged a figure, causing all bugs to hold their breath for a few seconds.
The young male bug with black hair and pale skin captured their attention.
Cool light illuminated him, as though he was cloaked in brilliance.
Draped in a luxurious deep red cape, the golden insignia reflected a sharpness and radiance unlike jewelry.
His distinctive deep blue military uniform was oddly fitting, even more so than glamorous attire, adding an untamed, unrefined essence.
The female military officials present were deeply moved.
They had never imagined that such a noble young male bug would deign to wear the uniform of their military corps.
He slowly descended the staircase.
The deep black military boots thudded heavily on the red carpet, creating a tremendous visual impact.
Each step felt like a push on the hearts of the bugs present.
Tong Sui completed his descent on the staircase, reaching the high platform and stepping up to the podium.
He raised his hand, his sleeve sliding down slightly, revealing a wrist that was untouched by the black leather gloves.
Delicate and flawless, white as jade.
Tong Sui grasped the black microphone before him.
The bugs could not help but swallow hard, as if that hand held not a microphone, but something far more significant.
He was irresistibly captivating to the bugs, the spotlight and the light were all upon him.
Even their hearts were stolen away.
Tong Sui spoke softly, “Welcome everyone, I hope you have a great time.”
His clear voice through the microphone resonated with an echo, filling the banquet hall, soothing spirits more than the most elegant instruments could.
All the bugs were eager and ready.
In the following moments, they were determined to showcase their utmost efforts to attract the attention of Prince Tong Sui.
On the periphery of the stars, the Star Pirates’ starship slowly moved.
Inside the starship.
Lying in bed, Bai Xingluo could only vaguely hear some sounds breaking through the darkness, softly calling his name—it was so familiar and gentle.
Gradually, he started to regain awareness, opening his eyes; his pale blue eyes were as beautiful and cold as a meteor.
The softness beneath him took him by surprise for a few seconds.
He should have been suspended, how could he be lying down?
Bai Xingluo immediately grew wary, sitting up quickly. Pain ripped through his abdomen, faint bloodstains seeping through the white bandage.
He furrowed his brows but didn’t make a sound.
“Wow, General Bai Xingluo finally woke up.”
A cheeky voice came through, Yu Guangji chewing on a lollipop, “It was me who saved you, but you don’t need to thank me. Who told me I am so kind?”
As soon as Bai Xingluo saw him, his gaze darkened.
In an instant, the figure on the bed disappeared, reappearing behind Yu Guangji the next second.
Bai Xingluo’s hand clutched around his neck; with just a slight force, he could snap it.
“Who allowed you to do this?”
Yu Guangji felt his neck nearly breaking.
He hadn’t expected that the injured Bai Xingluo could still move with such agility. Was this what an S-ranked female military officer could do?
