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

Su Yao tilted her head and looked at the little lion pendant beside her ear.

Ok.
Very cute indeed.

But she only admitted that this thing's eyes looked like hers.

"Row."
Su Yao compromised and said, "It's good."

Kyle looked down at her, "What color do you like?"

Su Yao hesitated to speak.

She doesn't actually have a favorite color.

His awakened form was the same deep red as his tail, almost black.

Su Yao crossed her arms and said, "You are the one who gave the gift, and I didn't ask you for it. Shouldn't you choose it yourself and surprise me?"

Kyle thought about it and nodded as if he had been taught, "Okay."

He stood beside the printer holding the pendant and began to study it. He looked at the color palette and adjusted it, and also clicked on other interfaces, as if he wanted to add to the original shape.

Su Yao originally wanted to peek.

But as soon as she glanced at the computer, she was shocked by the information piled up in it.

She turned on complete do not disturb mode.

Basically, unless the Light Race makes a comeback and all the major forces in the universe sound the war alarm, this optical brain will not make any sound or vibration.

However, even with intelligent filtering, the remaining messages from various relatives and friends still continue to come in.

Su Yao traced the source and found that the culprit was her ex-fiancé again.

Someone posted a set of photos online.

They are all photos of him and Ruan Jiao.

In the smoke-filled ruins, the blond young man lowered his head and looked at the brown-haired woman in his arms, holding her with one hand, his eyes full of worry.

The latter was wearing goggles, and the half of his face that was exposed was very pale. He leaned softly on his chest, and could only stand by relying on his arms around his waist.

They were surrounded by collapsed buildings, the ground covered with charred marks and sunken bullet holes.

It should be a simulated battlefield in one of the school's affiliated bases.

Su Yao could tell at a glance that they were probably doing group work.

——Ole Military University has a course that simulates front-line combat. It is a public course, and the students are divided into groups and drawn by lots across departments and majors.

After the heroine was reborn, she exchanged positions with one of her friends and became the hero's teammate.

There are also several other pictures that are in similar scenes, and the two people's actions also appear to be very intimate.

And compared to the previous blurry photos, these pictures are very clear.

There is no need to talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although Ruan Jiao covered half of her face, if someone compared it with her photo, they would definitely be able to tell that they were the same person.

Especially those who knew that she was in the same group as the Crown Prince.

Su Yao was amused as she watched.

For the male protagonist, this kind of course is just a small matter. If he wants, destroying the entire training base is just a matter of a blink of an eye.

But he did not directly apply for exemption for this reason, but attended the class seriously.

He is also nice to his teammates and does not despise them for being weak - whether it is the heroine or anyone else, he will help them whenever they need help.

It is normal to give someone a hug.

Several other students also received similar treatment.

The person who posted the picture simply selected the photos of the two of them.

Moreover, the hero and heroine have just known each other for a short time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks very worried, mainly because he found that Ruan Jiao's level is very low and he is afraid that she can't bear it.

The other group members are always a little bit better than her.

of course……

These two people are perfectly compatible.

The Crown Prince had a good impression of her since their first meeting, so even from her expression in this picture, one can seem to see something different.

Looking at the comments again, it’s indeed a noisy scene.

"Any idiot can see that this is some kind of simulation venue. If someone is injured, what's wrong with giving them a hand?"

"Even a blind person can see that your crown prince treats her differently. Is this the way you look at an ordinary classmate? Would you use this kind of look when you help an old man on the street?"

"…Let's break up. He just broke up the engagement and he's already throwing mud at his ex-fiancée. I can only say that he wouldn't do that if he had nothing to hide. Anyone who knows will know who has the problem."

"It's so funny. I can only say that a certain family has too many trolls. He was lucky enough to become a duke, but he deserves to be dumped because he can't do this or that. He doesn't even look in the mirror to see if he deserves it."

"Well, a scumbag who flirts with other girls even though he's engaged is really not something most people can afford."

"Can anyone tell me what's going on with the girl in the picture? Is she his classmate?"

The original image was quickly deleted.

The account that posted the photo also shows as logged out.

But the incident is still fermenting, with the quarreling science popularizers and onlookers in chaos.

But in the final analysis, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not someone who lives on his fans, and he does not need public consent to date or marry anyone.

The announcements issued by the royal family are always just to tell everyone the facts, not to discuss with people.

So no matter how chaotic the internet is, they can just ignore it if they want to, and there is no need to hold a press conference to clarify.

But as another protagonist in the whole incident, Su Yao couldn't avoid being implicated.

The main manifestation is being bombarded with messages from relatives.

She was flipping through the messages from her aunts, uncles, distant relatives, and the corners of her mouth twitched constantly.

There were those who openly or covertly mocked her for being incompetent, and her fiancé was snatched away by a low-level bloodline from nowhere—

These people were knowledgeable and experienced. They knew Ruan Jiao's level was not high just by looking at the photo, otherwise she would not look so weak in a mere simulated battlefield.

There are also people who ask her to calm down and persuade her that this is the best way, saying that the time will come and put the blame on the crown prince, and it will be enough for her to play the role of a pure victim.

There were also people who sincerely comforted her and told her not to be sad.

And those who urge marriage.

Some asked her what she thought, some said they would introduce her to someone, and some even told her to try to match her with someone in Grade A.

"How about it?"

A deep and pleasant male voice sounded from the front.

Su Yao raised her head.

Kyle was taking a newly made pendant out of the printer.

Su Yao immediately threw the male and female protagonists and the annoying relatives out of her mind, and jumped over in two steps, "Let me see!"

A chubby black little lion was sitting with its head slightly tilted. Its golden eyes looked even brighter against its dark body.

It also has a pair of very miniature wings behind it, which are folded up.

Su Yao: “!”

Su Yao: "...so cute, but why add wings?"

Black is understandable.

She thought Kyle must like black very much, as he always wears black both in the game and in real life.

Kyle was very calm: "Didn't you say you can fly?"

Su Yao recalled the conversation in the game, and she seemed to have said, "You really believe it..."

But these days there are many mixed-bloods and many cats and dogs with wings, so it’s not a rare sight.

"Okay," Su Yao was in a subtle mood. "Theoretically, my genetic test results show that I am a winged...cat, but my awakening form has not reached that stage yet."

Kyle handed her the pendant, "Does it look like this?"

"...It should be about the same," Su Yao said uncertainly, "but maybe a little bigger?"

Kyle nodded, "Soon."

Su Yao took it.

Because it was just made, it’s still a little warm.

Su Yao: "You really have confidence in me, thank you."

Kyle glanced at her, as if he was sizing up someone who was talking nonsense. "This is a logical conclusion based on the facts."

Su Yao remembered how he swore that he looked very talented.

How on earth did this guy do it, talking nonsense in such a serious tone without even a trace of guilt on his face.

She turned her head and saw that Kyle had another one in his hand, exactly the same as the one in hers, "You made two?"

Kyle nodded calmly, "I'll keep one."

Su Yao subconsciously wanted to ask him what he was going to do with it, whether to hang it, wear it, display it, or put it in the bottom of the box, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud.

Compared to these, she actually had something else she wanted to ask him.

So ten minutes later, they sat in the corner of a shabu-shabu restaurant, and began their conversation about spiritual bodies amid the rich aroma and steaming white mist.

"…If there are any questions you don't want to answer, just ignore me."
Su Yao held her chin with one hand, "Let me guess, your spiritual body is at least in the third stage?"

She has already checked the information.

The higher the stage of the spiritual body, the greater the load.
In other words, you can go longer without being comforted.

It can also sustain high-intensity combat for longer periods of time without losing control.

——There are actually quite a few similar examples.

Some people are comforted by their partners the day before, and go to the battlefield to fight the next day. As a result, because the battle is too long and too intense, the spirit that has just been comforted is still overloaded.

Although for the time being, her initial awakening was not that intense.

But Kyle didn't let that fool her.

The man across the table nodded casually, "I can do that."

This answer may seem a bit puzzling, but the definition of the third stage of the spiritual body, "leaving the spirit", is to move freely away from the main body, at a distance of more than ten meters, and to be able to persist for a certain period of time.

This meets the standards.

But both being ten meters away and being a hundred meters away meet the standards, but the levels are very different.

Kyle glanced at her and said in a tone that was not at all joking, "I'd even go home with you."

Su Yao: "..."
She didn't think that his spiritual body could really be tens of millions of light years away from his real body.

Because this is something so outrageous that it is unimaginable.

So I just habitually admire this person's ability to tell lies calmly.

"Goodbye," Su Yao sighed, "I took it away, what will you do, who will ease your mental state?"

Kyle was still staring at her. "I didn't use it at first, until now..."

He was wondering if telling the person on the other side that he had comforted you before would make him faint again.

Kyle: “…I rarely use it anyway.”

Su Yao blinked. "So it's rarely used now? Then when you used it frequently before, how did you increase its strength? Did you also rely on training?"

"I did a little bit of training, and once I understood its purpose, I stopped doing it."

There's no need for that.

The man opposite said this and leaned back slightly, his broad back sinking into the sofa chair.

"Your spirit body."

He raised his head, his jawline was sharp and clear, and his handsome profile looked a little unreal under the light, "Let's let it out and see."

Su Yao: “?”

He seemed to have confirmed that his spiritual body was very large.

Did the trainer tell him that?

Su Yao: "There are quite a lot of people in this store, what if they are scared?"

Kyle was unmoved, "I'll take care of it."

Su Yao: "..."
Just don't scare you.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that they are in the corner.

She used the projection computer's optical computer to make a crude light-bending barrier.

The effect of this thing is similar to frosted glass, and people outside cannot see the scene inside clearly.

A skeleton with pus-filled hands appeared in the air, his wings half-folded and still, his long hair hanging quietly beside his ribs.

Su Yao also leaned back and fell on the sofa. "Look."

To be honest, it's a bit unappetizing to see this thing at the dinner table.

But Kyle clearly didn't care.

Su Yao also considered that he might be someone who had searched through garbage dumps for food, so she didn't ask any more questions.

As for herself?
Her appetite was difficult to destroy, let alone the spiritual body she was already used to seeing.

Kyle carefully looked at the crimson humanoid skeleton in the air, the one-eyed face without a mouth or nose, and the long hair that was full of horror movie vibes.

The already bustling restaurant became even more noisy at this moment.

Many people have already noticed the movement here. They can't see the spirit body clearly through the barrier, but some experienced people can also extend their senses through mental power.

Just like Su Yao listened to people talking outside the soundproof wall before.

"..."

Suddenly, one of the people who released mental power trembled violently, fell on the table, and blood flowed from his mouth.

"What's wrong?!"

Her companions beside her were horrified.

"There are experts over there," the man shook his head and coughed heavily a few times, with fear on his face, "Let's go quickly, it feels like something bad is going to happen."

At another table, someone covered his head with his hands, his face full of pain, and he felt a headache like needles pricking him.

"Damn it! Is it really that serious?"

There are even more intense reactions than this.

A little further away, someone fell headfirst into the pot, causing the copper pot to shake and the soup to splash all over the table.

Fortunately, they had finished eating and the soup was only warm, otherwise their faces would have been boiled.

"What the hell?!"

The people at that table stood up one after another.

They were all tall and strong, with obvious signs of implants on their bodies. The cables and foils on their bodies sparkled under the lights, and they all looked very tough.

Kyle still sat there motionless, looking at the spirit opposite him.

"you!"

Several people came over aggressively, passed through the projection barrier, and took one look at the spiritual body. Their originally ferocious expressions changed a bit.

After suffering a little mental shock, they quickly regrouped.

The leader slapped the table so hard that the soup pot shook twice.

"What's wrong with taking a look?"
The man shouted angrily, "You really need to be so cruel! You made my brothers faint! You bitch made such an ugly thing——"

"Bullshit your father!"
Su Yao also got angry. "I just put up a barrier. It doesn't matter to me whether you faint or die. You got hurt outside and came to your grandma to make trouble, right?!"

She stood up while cursing.

Although his stature was much shorter than theirs, the more than three-meter-tall spirit body standing next to them overwhelmed this group of people in terms of momentum.

The leader looked at her, then at the man who was still sitting still across the table.

"I did it."
Kyle suddenly said, "You can find me."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Su Yao: “???”
Su Yao: "Did you knock him out?"

Kyle nodded slightly, "I made all those who just sent their spiritual power backfire."

Even a beginner like Su Yao knows that the so-called backlash is related to one's own mental power output.

The more mental power you output, the more serious the backlash may be.

So some people may just have a headache, while others may just faint.

Kyle: “Because you don’t want others to see.”

Su Yao: "... um, um?!"

She was touched for a few seconds, then began to admire him.

Otherwise, she never thought about reading his inner thoughts from beginning to end.

People who can fully awaken must be very good in this aspect.

And no matter how strong his mental power is, even if she can see it, he will most likely be aware of it.

There is no need for that.

Besides, this guy's train of thought was weird, and she felt that she might not see anything normal after watching him.

"you--"

The leader, who was suspected to be a gang member, looked back and forth between them, and then looked at their laptops.

Then he sneered, "...Okay, you wait!"

After saying that, he left with a group of people.

Su Yao sat down speechlessly.

Just then the robot waiter came over with the soup base and ingredients.

The fat from the bones, meat and oil of freshly killed exotic animals, combined with the spices picked from the flowers and leaves of fresh exotic plants, form an extremely rich and mellow soup base.

On one side is the spicy hot pot with bright red oil floating on the surface, and on the other side is the milky bone soup with chopped leaves and grass stems rolling around.

Some exotic animals and plants are species that people have improved in order to satisfy their appetites.

Therefore, the taste of eating it is naturally wonderful.

Su Yao ate happily. The large bowls containing the ingredients were emptied one after another, and the floating slices of meat in the pot were constantly fished out.

"Do you still want?"
She poked at the projected menu in the air, "I have to eat more anyway, or I'll have to eat people later. I have to be ready for a fight."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but start thinking about Kyle's level again.

He showed no fear from beginning to end. I don't know whether it was because he was confident or just had no expression. Maybe he was already panicking.

Su Yao: "...Did you bring a bodyguard? Or a killer in your family? You can't just bring a robot butler?"

Kyle shabu-shabued the meat seriously, "It's not great, but at least it can clear this place."

this place?

Su Yao subconsciously thought of the hot pot restaurant.

Su Yao just felt that there were too many complaints, "Okay."

I still have to come.

She sent a message for the bodyguards to come closer.

"Come to think of it, my first awakening was during a battle—"
Su Yao said casually, "I think there will be a chance next time, if there are no constraints, maybe there will be progress, but of course the enemy must be stronger."

If it were someone else, they might ask a few more detailed questions.

Kyle still said, "Well, it does work."

Half an hour later, they had almost finished eating, and after leaving the restaurant, they turned two streets and passed a section of the road that was cordoned off and awaiting repairs.

There are few vehicles here, and the ground is bumpy and full of gullies. There are also several huge depressions that look like traces of bombing.

Next to it was a half-collapsed shopping mall, and construction equipment was lying on the side, also incomplete, as if it had been destroyed in the explosion as well.

"The person wearing the custom optical computer—"

A voice sounded in the air.

At the same time, hundreds of people rushed out of the building that was to be repaired.

They all held guns, had shield generators installed on their arms, and their prosthetics made buzzing sounds as they operated.

A figure fell from the sky and landed on the open space between the two large pits.

Behind that person there was a pair of horny elytra, glowing with a cold metallic light, with edges as sharp as knife blades. Upon closer inspection, there were translucent membranous wings stacked underneath.

"These are the two, right?"

He was not tall and was very thin, with deep sunken cheeks and a pair of bright eyes.

The man's eyes fell on Su Yao's face, as if he judged that she was the more threatening one.

There was silence all around, and the streets had become empty without anyone noticing. Only a few wing cars would occasionally fly overhead, and the pedestrians had disappeared.

Hundreds of gang members were slowly gathering around.

"——you bitches!"
The man from the hot pot restaurant just now also appeared, mixed in with those teams, with a smug look on his face, "Our boss is a moderately awakened B-level——"

Su Yao rubbed her eyebrows.

Not a very threatening object.

But if she wants to deal with these people, or create enough deterrence to scare them away, she has to show her real skills.

"It's okay, I've already called my—"

She thought as she comforted the little lizard next to her.

The words stopped.

Kyle happened to be looking down at her, with a somewhat conflicted expression.

"?"

Su Yao didn't know what else he could think about at this juncture.

In fact, Kyle himself didn't know what he was thinking.

Before their first formal, interactive conversation, the only thing that interested him was the person from another world.

According to this logic, when given the opportunity, he would either ask indirectly or go directly to "look" at her memory.

But from some point on, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter anymore.

For him, there are not so many "musts" and "musts". No one can force him to do anything, and he will not force himself.

He never sets any goals for himself.

What you wanted one moment you may not want as much the next moment, so just let it go.

Rather than asking about her past and experiences——

He wanted to hear her take the initiative to talk about any topic she wanted to talk about, and wanted to see her joy when her doubts were answered and her troubles were solved.

And she tried to protect his feelings and self-esteem, finding ways to avoid conversations that might "hurt" him, and then constantly offering support and encouragement.

…a strange, wonderful feeling.

Maybe because of this, nothing else matters.

It didn't matter what her race was before or what she wanted to do in the future, he would help her if she needed him.

Even if it was just to see her satisfied expression.

Besides--

He found himself occasionally paying attention to other things, like the way her fingers grasped his sleeve, or the way her cheeks puffed slightly when she was unhappy.

The thought of pinching a handful comes to mind.

For no reason.

Maybe he can't fully understand all of this now.

But he will understand.

Kyle raised his hand, and his cold, slender fingers fell on the girl's smooth, white cheek, and then pinched it lightly.

Su Yao: “?”

Before she could respond, the teammate in front of her, who looked tall and mighty, suddenly lowered his head and leaned over, directly onto her shoulders.

Su Yao: "?!?!?!"

Damn it.

She quickly hugged him and took a closer look. The man in her arms was lying there with his eyes closed and a very peaceful expression.

It seemed like he was fainted, or asleep, or maybe he passed away peacefully.

Su Yao: "…………"

You're not really scared to death, are you?

As she was frantic, there was a burst of laughter all around her. The gang leader laughed particularly hard and it looked like he was about to cry.

"Is it a lizard?!"
The man laughed wildly and said, "These useless things are scared to death by the sound of gunfire! How could a lion choose such a loser as a mate?!"

Su Yao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Through her thick and strong chest muscles, she finally felt the netizen's heartbeat and felt infinitely fortunate.

I guess I'm tired from using too much mental energy just now.

The moment when the gang members' voices gradually faded away.

Su Yao curled the corners of her mouth.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

The sweet laughter of a young girl echoed in the quiet street.

The gang leader looked at her in shock, as if suspecting that this person had gone crazy.

Su Yao put the person in her arms on the ground, took off her laptop, and took off the small pendant on her belt.

"Then you don't need a bodyguard."

It feels so good to be dizzy!
Su Yao thought so.

She looked at the short and thin man of insect blood in mid-air, "Please, I hope you have some skills--"

As the cheek bones deformed, the fangs extended one after another, and the clear voice gradually became hoarse.

"…Let me have some fun."

The roar of the beast shook the entire neighborhood.
