The whole universe knows that His Majesty has a crush on me

In the dead silence, Su Yao took two steps back as if nothing had happened.

"…I mean, I like your perfume."

Su Yao actually knew the heroine's bloodline, after all, it was written in the book, but she was not very clear-headed just now, so she subconsciously asked.

Everyone looked over with different expressions.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked particularly bad.

After his initial surprise, he thought about it carefully and realized that the two people in front of him were strangers to each other, and it didn't look like they were in love at first sight.

Ryan reached out his hand and took his fiancée a few steps to the side.

A translucent sound barrier appeared around the two of them.

Su Yao suppressed her surging appetite. "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

The blond young man lowered his eyes and looked at her. "Ruan Jiao is just my classmate and friend. I hope you won't do something like this again."

Su Yao shook off his hand, "What did I do?"

There was a bit more chill in his eyes. "Su Yao, don't say we are just engaged. Even if we are married, we should not interfere with each other's normal interpersonal relationships. If you want to make trouble for her--"

Su Yao's eyes lit up. "What do you want? Do you want to break off the engagement?"

She looked around at the sumptuous dishes on another long table, pondering the possibility of pouring one of the bowls of thick, sweet soup on the faces of the hero and heroine.

And after doing this, will the male protagonist become angry and break off the engagement?

"You're threatening me with breaking off the engagement?"
Ryan looked at her coldly. "If it wasn't for my father's order, I wouldn't have accepted this engagement at all. Your Excellency the Duke, don't think I care."

Su Yao frowned. "So you can't make a decision, right? Even if I anger you, you can't break off the engagement with me in anger?"

The Crown Prince obviously didn't hear the disappointment in her words, and even thought she was proud. "You——"

"Besides, I didn't mean any harm just now. I was just curious."
Su Yao shrugged. "If I want to make trouble, ha, there are a lot of places where you can find trouble with your friend."

"So that's the reason?"
Ryan looked at her disappointedly. "You didn't stop them from insulting Ruan Jiao because you enjoyed it? Do you also like to use your bloodline to gain a sense of superiority?"

Su Yao looked back at Ruan Jiao from time to time and found that the comments were very messy and she could hardly see any complete sentences.

Ryan probably misunderstood her action and took it as some kind of acquiescence.

The crown prince's expression became even uglier.

"As an engaged couple with a good match, we should have tried to soothe each other's spirits long ago, but you have not been able to gather your spirits yet, and you have not made any efforts at all."
His voice was cold. "Compared to the rest of you, Ruan Jiao has perseverance and talent, but her bloodline is weak—"

Su Yao rolled her eyes. "Then let's break off the engagement. You two can comfort each other. Maybe we can make some new discoveries."

Ryan's eyebrows sank slightly, and his blue eyes were stern. "What are you implying? She is not the person you think."

The aura around him became sharper and sharper.

A feeling of oppression suddenly approached.

Su Yao almost stepped back.

But at the same time, she was very angry.

About this journey and these ridiculous people in front of me.

Su Yao heard the increasingly intense heartbeat.

The mass of flesh and blood that was throbbing in the chest was roaring unwillingly.
The surging blood flowed like boiling water, washing over the weak limbs.

Die die die—

Tear him apart.
Tear them all apart!

Deep within the body, at the bottom of consciousness, in the polynucleotide chain of the genetic double helix, there lurks a dormant existence waiting to be awakened.

Su Yao stood still.

She raised her head, and the round black pupils in her light golden eyes suddenly narrowed.

Ryan's eyes showed surprise.

He didn't want to embarrass his fiancée in this situation, so he didn't release his spiritual body, but only released a little mental power.

But this should have been enough to make her take a few steps back.

but--

"That's it?"
Su Yao's face was full of provocation, "So weak."

After saying that, he quickly slipped away.

If they really fight, even if they are at the same level, she will definitely not be able to beat the male protagonist who has already reached a deep awakening.

The remaining group of people looked at her back blankly and at each other.

"Was that your highness's spiritual power just now...?"

They were standing a little further away and could only feel it vaguely.

"She can actually bear it? Didn't she say that even her spirit body can't condense?"

"What happened between her and His Highness? Did they have a quarrel?"

Some people couldn't help but gloat over the other's misfortune.

Su Yao's parents are both A-level, and they haven't awakened yet, and they only have the title of Viscount.
Su Yao did not get their bloodline, but inherited the bloodline of an ancestor in a reversionary way, and was determined to be S-level when she reached adulthood.

After the death of the previous Duke Su, Su Yao was the only S-level in the entire family, so he inherited the title of Duke.

Even if Su Yao's father is only the cousin of the former Duke——
But because of her bloodline, her inheritance rights are higher than the descendants and siblings of the previous duke.

Now, many people are jealous of her good fortune, and they also enjoy seeing her make a fool of herself.

"..."

Su Yao hurried through the banquet hall and was suddenly stopped.

"Yao Yao?"
The person holding her smiled and said, "How was your conversation with His Highness? It seems like you two haven't gotten to know each other well yet?"

Su Yao suppressed the anger in her chest and said, "There's no need to get acquainted with him. I won't marry him."

A group of people gathered around and all laughed when they heard what he said.

"Oh my god, what nonsense are you talking about?"

These were all members of the Su family, her cousins, and their bloodlines were either A-level or B-level.

They knew her situation best and were not polite in their words.

"If I could match up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would wake up laughing in my dreams..."
"Well, I don't really like his personality, but looking at all the unmarried S-level people in the country, he is indeed the best."

Su Yao: "..."
This country will be destroyed sooner or later.

"So," a cousin asked with concern, "Did Yaoyao have a fight with him? Or are they just not getting along?"

Su Yao looked up at the sky. "We don't get along. He is five or six years older than me."

In the constant temperature device on the table next to us, there are dozens of kinds of fried, grilled or deep-fried fish.
The neatly arranged fish meat looks extremely tempting, adorned with emerald green or crimson fragrant leaves.

Su Yao took the plate and started to scoop out the fish.

"What's the big deal?" A cousin waved his hand. "My girlfriend is the same age as my mom, and she and I are still very..."

"Stop, no one wants to hear your love story."
"I mean age is not an issue..."

Su Yao lowered her head to eat fish, "Oh, actually I think the crown prince is too childish, I also like older ones."

My cousin's eyes lit up, as if he had found a soulmate, "Isn't it?"

"That's enough," the person next to him pushed him away, "Yaoyao, let's be honest, there are only a few S-level players in our Aolai, you can't find any better ones."

Su Yao suddenly smiled.

The male protagonist does not like his fiancée, and it was mentioned in the original novel that he once tried to refuse, but His Majesty the King also advised him not to.

——You won’t find anything better.

Su Yao was speechless. "Let's not talk about whether there is a better one. This is not buying things, nor is it a competition. Don't we have to find the best? Shouldn't we find the right one?"

"You two S-ranks are only 60% compatible, isn't that suitable?"

The cheap relatives seemed to think that she was just throwing a tantrum. They looked at her with disappointment and started nagging her again.

Some people praised the Crown Prince's looks and abilities, openly and secretly mocking her for being unworthy of him, while others were trying hard to flatter her, hoping that she would help set up a match between their son and another titled noble.

Su Yao silently bit open the fish fillet in her mouth and heard the sound of the solid spine breaking against the molars.

Others advised her to seize the opportunity to train her spiritual body.

"Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be dissatisfied. As a well-matched engaged couple, you should comfort each other. The Crown Prince has already awakened deeply, and there is a risk of losing control..."

"You still have to do what you are supposed to do. If you are really not satisfied, just find a few more lovers in the future. All the nobles have gone through this..."

Su Yao ate until her hunger completely disappeared. She wiped the corners of her mouth with tissue paper and threw the plate to the service robot.

The dizziness was gone.
Instead, there is a feeling of tiredness and weariness.

The buzzing sound in her ears made her irritated, so she left the banquet hall, leaving behind her nagging relatives.

They looked at her back and shook their heads.

Outside is a viewing corridor. Through the transparent crystal wall on one side, you can see the garden where countless spaceships are docked.

Su Yao stepped into the corridor and almost bumped into someone at the corner.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke."
The man said lazily, his apology tone not quite sincere, "Why are you here? Are you mad at your fiancé and that rabbit?"

He was tall, with gray curly hair, a handsome and thin face, clear and sharp ice-blue eyes, but a lazy posture.

Su Yao subconsciously felt that this person looked familiar.

My previous incarnation must have met this person before, but that was all. I didn’t know his name or any other information.

"What's wrong, little cousin?"
The gray-haired man raised his eyebrows. "You forgot who I am, right? That's not surprising. On the day we first met, so many relatives introduced themselves to you. Although I am still a little sad..."

"Wait a minute," Su Yao interrupted him, "How do you know Ruan Jiao is a rabbit? Have you been listening to the conversation over there?"

"Huh? You can smell it."
The gray-haired man chuckled, leaned over, hooked his hands around her shoulders, and blew into her ear.

"But a young fellow like you who has just reached adulthood needs to accumulate more experience."

Su Yao smelled a strong aroma of wine and a light smell of smoke, mixed with sweet tar and fresh grassy scent.
In addition, there is a subtle and unique smell that penetrates into her sensory world and stimulates the olfactory cord in her nerves.

She felt like an animal that selects food by smell.
Su Yao sniffed and subconsciously moved closer to the other person.

At present, the screening results are almost negative.
A judgment came to her mind - that the other person was not suitable as food.

Suddenly, something touched my wrist.

Su Yao lowered her head in shock.

A furry tail thicker than an adult's arm, the gray fur is soft, thick, shiny, covered with black ring-shaped markings, and the fur underneath is whiter.

The long tail stretched out and rubbed her wrist flexibly, and the tip of the tail scraped across her palm.

Su Yao instinctively grabbed it.

However, this attempt failed.

The grey-haired man quickly retracted his tail and looked down at her with a smile, "Do you like it?"

He was wearing formal clothes. The dress coat was slightly long, and the hem covered the base of his tail. His beautiful, flexible tail stood up behind him, curling in a circle in the air.

Su Yao figured that this man must have a hole in the back of his pants.

The other person suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, "Reptiles don't have tails and fur like this—"

Su Yao finally understood, thinking about what the relatives had just said, "Are you offering yourself to me?"

The gray-haired man curled his lips, "I shouldn't be the first one, right? Judging from the way you and His Royal Highness get along, you should both have many lovers in the future."

Su Yao sneered.

Apart from anything else, the male protagonist in the original novel is devoted to the female protagonist, and he only has the female protagonist in mind from beginning to end.

"Also, you look like you've overused your abilities? Rumors really can't be trusted—"
The gray-haired man looked at her thoughtfully, "Go get some sleep. You S-ranks will recover in a few minutes."

Su Yao was stunned for a moment.

ability!

That would explain the sudden hunger and fatigue.

But I had been standing still, and the only "ability" that might have consumed my energy was reading the subtitles.

Is this a mind-reading ability?
There is no relevant information in the memory of my previous life, so it is only available after I traveled through time?

She was still very sleepy and had no energy to think. The sleepiness that had temporarily subsided after being tempted by the furry creature soon came back like a rising tide.

Su Yao yawned.

The gray-haired man tactfully gave way.

She turned the corner and tried to find the elevator, but at the end of the corridor, there were two figures, one tall and one short, standing there. They were the male and female protagonists who were talking side by side.

Ruan Jiao's voice rang out, "But, Your Highness, is it okay to come out like this?"

Ryan shook his head, "It's okay, I just want some quiet time, I'll be back later."

Thirty or forty meters away, still feeling drowsy—

Miraculously, Su Yao heard their whispers.
It's just sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

"...Stay away from Su Yao."

"Your Highness? I really don't know how I have offended her... I hope she didn't misunderstand..."

"It doesn't matter what she thinks. She's no different from those people. But you have to be careful with her. If I'm not around, don't come into contact with her."

They were silent for a moment, then looked up at the screen on the wall.

There was a news clip playing, with the title at the bottom of the screen.
——The broadcast of the space parade in the galaxy of the capital of the Sereia Empire.

The screen showed the boundless sky and stars. The golden-red dust clouds looked like the glow of the sea, and were then obscured by the dark fleet.

From destroyers as light as falcons, to battleships as majestic as mountains, to aircraft carriers as big as giant cities.

Thousands of military ships were suspended in the air, changing their formations at an astonishing speed and uniformity, and their dazzling tail flames formed a sea of ​​light in the void.

The camera moves to an empty fortress in the distance.

On a huge platform, high-ranking officials of the Sereia Empire stood in silence, surrounding the figure in the center like stars surrounding the moon.

Ruan Jiao raised her head, "...Your Highness, you look worried. Our fleet can also compete with it, right?"

Ryan stared at the screen. "The Empire is undoubtedly the most powerful force in the universe, but Kyle III——"

"The Emperor of Seria?"
Ruan Jiao subconsciously said, "What happened to him?"

Ryan sighed deeply. "In the Light Race War, we in Orleans lost twelve deep and fully awakened S-class, including members of the royal family. They tried their best and even controlled their own destruction, but they couldn't hurt the core will of the Light Race. The existence of those things has surpassed the concept of intelligent machines, but Kyle III destroyed them in just a moment."

"...Wait, I thought this was an exaggeration. Is it the Empire trying to build momentum for him?"

"He doesn't need to create momentum. If he wants to--"
Ryan shook his head. "After the disintegration of the Federation, there hasn't been an heir of super S-level bloodline for a long time. The previous emperors of Sairea were all S-level."

He was silent for a while.

Several corridors outside the banquet hall are connected to each other. Within a radius of dozens of meters, there are more than one person walking or stopping.

With his strength, he could easily sense the position of each of them, and they were all some distance away from here.

Among the guests this time, only a handful have awakened, and those who have not yet awakened are not that sensitive.

Ryan wasn't worried about being overheard talking.

"Before the war ended, on the battlefield against the Light Clan, someone from my family had contact with Emperor Sairea. At that time, he had just been found by the royal family."
The Crown Prince's tone became a little subtle, "That guy is a monster from the inside out. He doesn't look like a human being, literally."

Ruan Jiao looked at him blankly. "I've seen a hologram of a Chaos Dragon in the illustrated manual. The fully awakened form of that race is indeed very scary..."

Ryan was amused, "If you're talking about that, then bloodlines above A-level aren't very good looking."

Ruan Jiao bit her lip and said, "But I think your awakening form is very handsome."

Ryan raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Thank you, I..."

As they walked further away, their conversation became increasingly blurred until it disappeared completely.

Su Yao finally couldn't hold on any longer, and her body slowly slid down the handrail, and she fell asleep sitting in the corridor.

Her consciousness seemed to be falling.

Falling.

Falling into a silent and cold void.

In a trance, a ray of light flickered in the distance, like the gap between life and death.

She saw the uneven ground, the undulating craters full of bones, a pale and hideous forest, and huge shadows cast on the ground.

The cold touch touched my skin.

Something was moving slowly along my body.

She looked up and saw a huge, majestic black shadow covering the surface that was covered with craters and bones.

In the thick and impenetrable dark haze, a long tail covered with black scales stretched out.

The solid and neat scales are evenly distributed, showing a black color without any impurities.

It swung silently in the air, its strong and powerful muscles stretched, with a bone spur several meters long at the end, like a sharp spear that had been polished for a long time.

Su Yao almost stepped back subconsciously.

If the furry snow leopard's tail is cute, this tail only gives people a feeling of horror and weirdness.

Well, if it were a little thinner it might still be quite astringent.

However, the terrifying size of the two men's embrace made her instinctively feel dangerous and fearful when facing them at close range.

"I can only ..."

A deep and pleasant voice sounded from above, and it seemed to come from the depths of a distant dream.

"Seeing part of your experience..."

The tail swam slowly and wrapped around her waist.

"one question……"

The scales on it folded like waves, and more dark shadows stretched out from the gaps, like a group of snarling snakes, or like tentacles looking for prey.

"If you can tell me the answer, I can let you..."

The shadows swayed and climbed up her arms, rubbing her wrist bones and even her fingertips.

At the same time, there are two more that roll up to the knees, rolling and curling up at the patella, sticking to the inner thighs, and then continuing upwards.

"so……"

Su Yao felt all this in disbelief.

"How did you get into this world?"

the voice asked.

However, at this moment, Su Yao woke up because she was too excited.

Her figure also disappeared in the dream.

……

Millions of light years away.

The star field of the Saireya Empire.

On the capital planet, the palace courtyard was filled with colorful flowers and a variety of rare and exotic plants. A figure walked through the winding stone road and suddenly stopped.

"strangeness."

The black-haired man tilted his head slightly and looked at the clear blue sky, a hint of doubt revealed on his handsome and flawless face.

"What are you afraid of? Don't you like tails very much?"
