The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 336: Guests Have Arrived

Lu Shinian heard this and frowned slightly.

He lowered his head, almost close to Su Ruan’s ear, and whispered, "It might be the surveillance cameras."

In a place like the Empire, surveillance cameras are perfectly normal.

After all, they’re the means of those in power.

Su Ruan nodded knowingly at his words.

The Federation has plenty of surveillance, let alone the Empire.

This inexplicable feeling of being watched must be because of those cameras.

Su Ruan tugged on the sleeve of Lu Shinian’s clothes and whispered, "Should we go back now?"

Lu Shinian glanced at the time, "Let’s wait a little longer."

"We’ll head back when the gates open at dawn."

Going out in the middle of the night would attract too much attention; it’s better to keep a low profile at this stage.

Su Ruan softly responded with a "Hmm."

The two of them left the Star Lord’s estate and found a 24-hour self-service rest area.

There were about two or three people in the rest area, not sleeping but playing games in the nearby holographic chambers.

Although Su Ruan was interested in the Empire’s holographic chambers, she did not have Empire identification, so she naturally couldn’t enter them.

She temporarily put aside the idea, planning to visit the Empire again in the future.

From what she could see so far, aside from the Companion Beast, there seemed to be no substantial difference between the Imperial people and Federation people.

Perhaps millennia ago, the Empire and the Federation were actually one, only divided due to a war lost in history, becoming the current Empire and Federation.

Su Ruan’s thoughts drifted farther and farther.

Lu Shinian pulled Su Ruan into his arms, casually playing with her small hand, his eyes lowered, expression tranquil, as if it was hard to see the questioning of Lu Zhiya’s earlier demeanor.

He seemed to have let go of the past, or perhaps just hidden it deeper.

Insect Domain, on S-01 Star.

Cheng Qingye looked at Dabai, whose system had just been updated, and suddenly mused aloud, "Dabai, can you hack into the Imperial Star Network?"

Dabai couldn’t speak, but it directly connected to the Imperial Star Network, using actions to answer Cheng Qingye’s question.

It just so happened that the top trending topic on the Imperial Star Network was the news of Su Ruan’s pregnancy.

Cheng Qingye had a slight interest in human trends, clicked it open, and immediately saw the screenshots of Su Ruan and Lu Shinian’s livestream.

Though their figures were a bit blurry in the livestream, Cheng Qingye immediately recognized Su Ruan and Lu Shinian.

Cheng Qingye raised an eyebrow, his face, usually indifferent, rarely showing a hint of surprise.

"They actually went to the Empire."

He muttered softly; no wonder his brother hadn’t found his sister on any nearby Federation planets.

Who could have thought that his sister and that guy Lu Shinian had actually gone to the Empire?

Cheng Qingye casually sent two messages to Su Hu.

[Found my sister.]

[In the Empire.]

After sending this message, Cheng Qingye continued to scroll down.

As he scrolled, he came across a very important piece of information.

"Pregnant"

These two words were actually connected to his sister.

Cheng Qingye frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing through his eyes.

His sister is still so young, how could Lu Shinian dare let her get pregnant?

Cheng Qingye completely ignored the fact that humans find it extremely difficult to conceive, thinking about the whole affair from an Insect Race perspective.

For the Insect Race, it’s easy to lay eggs; during mating season, they mate and unless something unexpected occurs, the fertilization rate is almost 100%.

Laying eggs is easy for the Insect Race, but due to limited resources, they actually are reluctant to do so.

They have little familial affection, only thinking that the newborn Insect Race will compete for their resources, but they inevitably are governed by special periods.

Viewing this matter from the Insect Race’s angle, naturally it was all Lu Shinian’s fault.

Who told him not to take proper precautions?

He had heard that humans have many contraceptive measures.

Cheng Qingye playfully tapped his fingertip, casually registered an account, and replied under the highest-rated comment on this hot topic:

[Is pregnancy such a big deal?]

And the top-rated comment was: [Finally someone got pregnant!!!]

The Empire hadn’t had newborns in ten years, a world without infants is undoubtedly bleak.

Though infants are sometimes noisy and annoying, most of the time they are adorable little angels, redemption capable of healing the heart.

The human yearning for infants seems to be rooted in their genes, an instinct for reproduction ingrained in nearly every species, elevated to the extreme by humans.

Ten years without newborns feels like a curse hanging over the Empire, a spell of doom upon their existence.

So when Cheng Qingye posted that comment, it was met with immediate backlash.

[??? Is there something unspeakable in your brain?]

[Is pregnancy just a trivial affair? Listen to this, someone who doesn’t know might think you’re quite capable of conceiving.]

[No way, seriously? Someone actually thinks getting pregnant is simple?]

......

The netizens were both excited about someone being pregnant and angered by this comment, all expressing their overwhelming emotions towards Cheng Qingye’s post.

Being idle at the moment, Cheng Qingye found it rare to have so many humans conversing with him, and replied to each comment in kind.

[What’s something unspeakable?]

[I can’t conceive.]

[Isn’t pregnancy simple?]

......

Though Cheng Qingye was merely stating the truth, these truths fell into Imperial people’s eyes as provocations.

Seeing this enigmatic user being so arrogant, they instantly applied their skill in shading insults and upped their degree of mockery.

Cheng Qingye earnestly read through and replied, gradually finding humans to be very communicative beings.

With reciprocation, it wasn’t bad at all.

Cheng Qingye’s interest grew, but it greatly aggravated the Imperial netizens.

It’s just that this enigmatic user was incredibly infuriating with their words!

They wished they could traverse the network to pull this person out and give them a good beating.

Unaware of how the Imperial people felt, Cheng Qingye contentedly sighed, "Talking to humans is truly interesting."

Looks like he’ll have to find some time to visit the Empire.

Meanwhile, a robotic army was heading towards the Insect Domain.

On this Starship were his mother Su Hanjing, and that Companion King Worm long lost to the Insect Race.

Darkness spread endlessly in the Insect Domain, only the starship brought a hint of illumination.

Cheng Qingye seemed to sense something, slowly lifted his gaze, finally pulling himself away from the Imperial Star Network.

"Looks like guests are arriving."

He told Dabai to disconnect from the Imperial Star Network and slowly stood up.

"I should go greet them."

He stepped forward, half a step in the air, space subtly distorted.

In the next moment, his entire figure vanished from the spot.
