Zhong Qing (Cherish) - Chap 45
When Arthur found the palace, Moschery was packing his honeymoon luggage. The Duke’s spiritual link seemed to want to sit in the suitcase but failed because it was too big. The Emperor frowned, and he took out a giant cat teaser and threw it to Arthur.
The Duke took it with a subtle expression and shook it. The brutal lion made a low purring sound from its throat and flew up and down.
“Rhinestones, cat teasers…” Arthur was curious, “What else do you don’t have here?”
Moschery grunted and didn’t seem to bother to respond.
Ba Jin arranged for the Royal Guards to send the two of them to the Academy of Sciences. Since Moschery gave Qin Yun his private aircraft, he changed to a white one. Arthur put his legs on the control table carelessly and said lazily, “The Cabinet still doesn’t know that the queen is god-level. Aren’t you planning to disclose it?”
“No.” Moschery glanced at him, “If Shen recovers, I hope you can keep it a secret.”
Arthur raised an eyebrow as he made a face like he was all ears.
Moschery: “The Cabinet won’t be so easily compliant. They’ve held control over Averio for so many years; the power in their hands isn’t easy to uproot.”
Arthur narrowed his eyes, “You can still go on your honeymoon with peace of mind, then?”
“I want to reassure them.” Moschery smiled sarcastically, “What they want is a puppet emperor to make the people lose confidence in the royal family. They have the means to throw dirty water, and the best time to do it is while I’m away.”
“What they say now might sound harsh, but the pain of being proven wrong in the future will be even greater.” The Emperor propped his chin with one hand, his crimson cloak contrasting with a cold expression, “In order to fight against aggression outside, we must first calm down inside. I cannot allow Qin Yun’s genes to be cloned by Olympus. Once the Cabinet is dealt with, the next step is them.”
Arthur clicked his tongue and said frivolously, “Your Majesty is indeed a tyrant.”
“So what if you are a tyrant?” Moschery said with a calm face, “As a man if I can’t even protect my wife, what right do I have to defend my family and the country?”
Qin Yun’s mental power wrapped around Shen Zhuofan’s brain nerves. He unfolded the guiding tendrils and removed the remaining destructive agents. He relaxedly chatted with his friend, “How do you feel?”
“A little stuffy.” Shen Zhuofan said softly. He was isolated in the sterile cabin, and Chris was observing the mental testing machine.
Qin Yun asked with a smile, “Do you still remember what your spiritual link looks like?”
“It’s a tiger cat.” Shen Zhuofan recalled, “The name is Tianrong1.”
Qin Yun thought for a long time: “Does this name have any meaning?”
Shen Zhuofan said solemnly, “So cute that it looked heavenly.”
Qin Yun: “…”
After all, the pressure of a god-level spiritual link was strong. It didn’t take long for Shen Zhuofan to feel exhausted. Qin Yun frowned and motioned for him to take a nap.
“When you wake up, you will see that even heaven and earth won’t tolerate it anymore[/mfn]word play of Tianrong that is tianliburong[/mfn].” Qin Yun comforted him.
Shen Zhuofan couldn’t help laughing and slowly closed his eyes.
Qin Yun looked at Chris, who nodded towards him and pointed to the growing spiritual power on the instrument.
“Okay.” Qin Yun took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and raised his arms, “Let’s work harder, buddy.”
Chris made a dashing gesture in front of his forehead, “No problem, Your Royal Highness.”
When Arthur approached the laboratory, he saw his guide sleeping quietly in the sterile cabin and a beautiful tiger cat sleeping next to him, with his head resting on the other’s neck.
The Duke watched silently. He stood there and did not step forward for a long time.
“It may not be stable just after recovery.” Qin Yun smiled and said softly, “Give him some time.”
Arthur nodded; the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you.”
Qin Yun waved, and he and Moschery went out together, leaving the Duke alone with Shen Zhuofan. Chris closed the door for the two of them. Through the transparent wall of the laboratory, he saw Arthur bending down, slowly stretching out his arms and hugging his own guide.
Perhaps one of the happiest things in the world is to recover what one has previously lost.
Incredibly precious and beautiful.
Moschery held the door of the aircraft and lowered his head to kiss Qin Yun. After a while of kissing, Qin Yun couldn’t help laughing, “I didn’t expend much mental energy…”
“I know.” Moschery sighed. He couldn’t express his frustration anymore and could only say helplessly, “I just want to kiss you.”
“…” Qin Yun felt that he was in the wrong, so he simply turned his back and hugged Moschery’s neck and kissed him.
The two of them lingered for a while before His Majesty let go of his guide.
“Let’s go.” He pinched Qin Yun’s neck, “We have to enjoy our time.”
Qin Yun was amused and joked, “Honeymoon? Have you finished writing the script?”
Moschery raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself expressionlessly, “The number one male lead.” Then he tapped Qin Yun’s chest, “The number two male lead.”
Qin Yun: “…”
Moschery: “The lines are saying love words.”
Qin Yun was embarrassed, “I’m not an actor in this aspect…”
Moschery ignored him and continued, “The supporting roles are my dragon and your unicorn.” His Majesty the Emperor said seriously, “They are just part of background and have no lines.”
Qin Yun: “…”
His Majesty the Emperor’s travel route map alone filled a whole page. Qin Yun discovered that the other party really planned to travel from A Stars to G Stars… and each had its own characteristics and was full of surprises.
Qin Yun had never been to Planet A, but he had heard that 99% of this planet was ocean and only 1% was land. It had an absurd amount of aquatic life and a staggering size.
“How humid it is…” Qin Yun found it unbelievable, “There’s no way to live in it, right?”
Moschery controlled the spacecraft to enter the space jump station. He obviously had it all arranged and wasn’t worried, “Just going to have a bit of fun, not necessarily spending the night.”
“…” Qin Yun suddenly said, “Is this the legendary take me to see the sea?”
Moschery was silent. He blocked Qin Yun’s mouth angrily and muttered, “Shut up!”
The spaceship sailed automatically on the first route of the Milky Way. Qin Yun saw the completely blue planet through the cabin. Moschery controlled the body to fly into the atmosphere. Qin Yun lowered his head and discovered that there was ice on the sea.
“Wow…” Qin Yun exclaimed. He could even see the water flowing under the ice.
“If you want to go down, you have to wear cold-proof clothes.” Moschery ‘stopped’ the spacecraft smoothly on the sea. He found his coat and wrapped it around Qin Yun, “Let’s go and take a look.”
Qin Yun walked carefully on the ice. Through the mirror-like ice, he could clearly see the swarms of fish in the water below, giving people the illusion of walking on the sea.
Moschery crouched down with him, fish, shrimp, and algae spreading beneath their feet.
“Oh my God.” Qin Yun exclaimed, “This is so beautiful.”
The Emperor’s expression was a bit proud, “There will be something more beautiful later.”
Qin Yun stared at him with wide eyes.
Moschery didn’t answer. Qin Yun wanted to ask again but suddenly felt a faint vibration under his feet, and the huge black dragon was released from the realm of consciousness by the sentinel.
“Come up.” The Emperor rode on the dragon’s back and stretched out his hand to Qin Yun, “I will take you to see the ‘Flying Fish’.”
Notes:
Anyway maybe some of you will wonder, why red bean as the arc name?
Red Beans have a strong meaning in Chinese culture. Red beans are often hard and come in a heart shape. They are similar in colour to that of blood and can be stored for a long time without rotting or fading in colour. Red beans symbolise love and fidelity (*cough* I copy paste this from somewhere)
