Zhong Qing (Cherish) - Chap 9
Chapter 9 – Partner (3)
Skarter looked at the two people ignoring each other with a playful expression. Qin Yun’s face had words such as ‘Embarrassed to death’, ‘I want to die’, ‘Please ignore me’, and others written all over his face. In comparison, Moschery’s expression was much more ordinary.
His Majesty the Emperor showed no expression throughout the entire process. He glanced at Skarter, “What else do you want?”
Of course Skarter knew that the other party was ordering him to leave, but being thick-skinned enough had always been his strength.
“I just want to confirm the ‘Eta Star Project’.” He glanced at Qin Yun, “If Your Majesty decides to go there in person, how many guards will you need to send?”
Qin Yun suddenly reacted when he heard the words ‘Eta Star Project’, and he stared at Skarter nervously.
Moschery still wore a mask on half of his face and said in a calm tone, “I will make arrangements myself, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Skarter pursed his lips with an expression of ‘Okay, you are the boss’. He said meaningfully to Qin Yun, “Then, His Majesty will have to trouble you more in the future.”
Qin Yun: “…” Damn it, who wants to take care of him?! Isn’t one time suffering enough?!!
For a long time after Skarter left, the study room was filled with a strange and peaceful atmosphere. Qin Yun was digging hard at the corners of the Emperor’s desk while Moschery continued to study the ‘Bonding Heat Do’s and Don’ts Guide’…….
After an unknown amount of time, Moschery was the first to break the silence, “Actually, I didn’t see anything when you accompanied Zhongyan…just now.”
In Qin Yun’s gaze, there was a dazzling sparkle that seemed to say, ‘Who are you trying to fool?’
Moschery thought for a while and said in a serious tone, “I am very busy. You have also seen how many documents I have to read. I have no time to pay attention to you and Zhongyan.”
“…” Qin Yun was a little shaken.
Moschery: “And I am the Emperor, so there is no need to lie to you for such a trivial matter.”
Qin Yun: “…You even hid the fact that you are the Emperor from me… Who knows if you’ll blab about me dancing on a horse…”
Moschery was stunned and said subconsciously, “Aren’t you singing Little Apple?”
Qin Yun: “…”
Moschery: “…”
Qin Yun roared with grief and anger, “You liar! You clearly said you didn’t see anything!!!”
Because he had successfully attached a super gorgeous and luxurious Supreme Maiden version of Zhongyan’s ‘Toothless’, the giant dragon wanted to hug Qin Yun’s thigh when sleeping.
In the end, Moschery had no choice but to contribute half of his bedroom.
The Emperor was still very busy when it was time to go to sleep. Moschery looked at the remaining documents and endured all kinds of slander against him by the person and dragon in the corner.
“Did Xi Zhao put these on for you?” Qin Yun frowned and looked at the pile of crooked rhinestone jewellery.
Zhongyan stretched out his dragon claw and fiddled with it with a look of disgust on his face.
Moschery said with a dark face, “…Who was moved to tears when I made it before?!”
Qin Yun: “Are you sure he was moved? Not ugly crying?”
A vein popped up on Moschery’s forehead, “Are you feeling bold, huh? Feeling like crying and calling for your daddy?!”
Qin Yun: “…” Daddy? What the heck?! Where did you learn that, Your Majesty?!
Ever since he found out that Xi Zhao was Moschery, Qin Yun had become accustomed to his various face-grabbing behaviours. When he was pulled out of bed by His Majesty the Emperor, who was still in high spirits after not sleeping all night, he did not dare to complain and accompanied him diligently to the training room.
“The avian people not only has its primary form but also possesses a secondary form.” Moschery released Zhongyan for the first time in the training room, “The secondary form can only be attacked through the sentinel’s spiritual link.”
Qin Yun was really tempted to ask if the sissy dragon could really fight…
Moschery: “You mainly control Zhongyan’s emotions, and don’t let him get excited and bite those beasts with his mouth… Are you listening?”
Qin Yun: “…If it doesn’t use its mouth to bite, what does it use… punches?”
Moschery looked like he wanted to get angry again. He took a deep breath and said patiently, “It is not hygienic to use the mouth. A slap will kill it, and a few more times will kill a bunch.”
Qin Yun inexplicably said, “What kind of hygiene should we pay attention to in a war… I went to the front line without taking a shower for a month, okay?”
“…” Moschery moved half a meter away from him with a look of disgust.
Qin Yun: “…I took a shower yesterday.”
Since the Emperor told him to follow the spiritual link, Qin Yun naturally obeyed and went wherever Zhongyan went. Moschery was not far away anyway and could help him in times of danger, but he obviously underestimated the power of the god-level spiritual link.
Moschery’s angry roar could be heard throughout the training ground, “Control, control! Do you want it to destroy this place?!”
Qin Yun screamed, “I can’t keep up with its speed at all! Damn it, isn’t it a sissy?! Where is its girlish heart?!”
Moschery: “What do you think it is?! It’s still a dragon!”
Qin Yun ran up and down, but the soothing area of guiding tendrils was, after all, limited. For Zhongyan, it was like being scratched with a mini comb, which had no effect at all.
Moschery clicked his tongue and jumped onto the rock, trying to force Zhongyan back into the realm of consciousness.
“Wait a minute!” Qin Yun stopped him, “Let me try again!”
Moschery’s expression showed distrust, but he still made way and stepped aside.
The guiding tendrils attached to Zhongyan’s back were slowly divided into two, then three, four, five… and finally gradually intertwined to form a huge ‘net’, and Zhongyan’s entire back and chest were covered. Covered in mesh, it’s like wearing a dragon-shaped ‘war robe’.
Moschery opened his mouth, “How did you do it?”
Qin Yun couldn’t answer him because it was the first time that his guiding tendrils had been forcibly split, and the drain on his mental energy was almost too much for him to handle.
Zhongyan was finally calmed down and obediently waved its claws to defeat the enemies. Moschery dared not leave Qin Yun’s side; as a guide in such situations, he was essentially a living target with no ability to protect himself.
“How many secondary forms are there…” Qin Yun finally paid some attention. The field uniform on his body was completely soaked.
Moschery glanced at them, “There are four more.” He said a little anxiously, “Can you handle it? Don’t lose the ability to coordinate with me for a moment.”
“…” Qin Yun stuttered in anger, “…You, you are exploiting… Don’t, don’t think that you are the Emperor, I, I won’t dare to sue you!”
Skarter gave the confirmed list to Lin Dongliang. His expression was very relaxed, “When Your Majesty goes to Eta, we can have a complete vacation. Where do you want to go?”
Lin Dongliang said helplessly, “You are really not worried at all… Who is that guide? Is there really no problem?”
“Even if there’s an issue, it’s something His Majesty has acknowledged.” Skarter smiled. “Why? Are you worried?”
“You think everyone is like you?” Lin Dongliang asked angrily. He and Skarter grew up together. Although this childhood sweetheart appeared to be approachable and gentle on the surface, in fact, he was cold-blooded than anyone else. Truly, his spiritual link reflected the nature of its owner perfectly.
“What I’m worried about is not His Majesty but the guide.” Lin Dongliang’s eyes were filled with deep worry, “The number of sentinels and guides stationed by Olympus on Eta is no less than that of the Avian People, not to mention that His Majesty is a god-level… It’s too dangerous; he will die.”
Skarter said indifferently, “Fortunately, His Majesty hadn’t completed the final mark with him yet.”
Lin Dongliang looked at him disapprovingly.
“Take it easy, darling.” Skarter stretched out his hand and gently caressed the other person’s face, “The regime is achieved on the sacrifices of countless individuals. We all know that. Have you forgotten about Shen? If we hadn’t pretended like we didn’t know that the cabinet removed him, deliberately leaked information, and made Berlin completely offended Duke Garcia, would that madman still be neutral now?”
Lin Dongliang’s face turned extremely unpleasant. He had drawn up that plan himself, and the consequence of it was sacrificing his most outstanding junior in the guide academy.
“You are so cruel, Skarter.” Lin Dongliang smiled bitterly, “Do you have to make me remember all this? Are you trying to make me understand that I’m also a sinner?”
“We all are.” Skarter kissed his lips and smiled, “Maybe I’ll have to be sacrificed one day too, but you’ll survive.”
Survive and then forget about me.
“Consciousness hypnosis?” Qin Yun repeated doubtfully, and he asked Shen Zhuofan, “Where did you hear this?”
“Don’t worry about that; as long as you understand the principles, it’s enough.” Shen Zhuofan continued to explain impatiently, “A sentinel or guide above S level can do this, hypnotizing one’s partner and creating the false impression that they have never been marked. In this way, when one party is considered dead, the other party won’t have a mental breakdown, as for how long it can last depends on the strength of the other party.”
Qin Yun: “…What does this have to do with me? You said you have to be S-level or above to do it.”
Shen Zhuofan simply hated the fact he couldn’t be more ambitious, “Can’t you have a little more ambition? You’re the guide of a divine-level sentinel now; S-levels aren’t all scumbags!”
Qin Yun: “If I encounter scumbags on the battlefield, I will still escape…”
Shen Zhuofan: “…”
Qin Yun: “Seriously, can you teach me something useful? For example, how to deal with two psychopaths at the same time.”
Shen Zhuofan: “…”
Qin Yun: “Or you can help me paste the rhinestones together? Do you know that now I train during the day and have to do the hard work of pasting rhinestones at night?”
Shen Zhuofan: “…………”
Qin Yun: “It’s true. My lower back is now protruding because I need to keep pasting the rhinestones in the past few days.”
Notes:
Changing Scott to Skarter, Skater is actually much closer to the hanzi, but I stubbornly pick Scott coz it sounds better, but then the names… of people here… is well… interesting, so I think Skarter will be better.
Also, the little apple Qin Yun sang seems to be a song called You are My Little Apple ~
