D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Lu Yuan and Rhein lay side by side on the bed, both of them with satisfied expressions.

Rhine looked very languid, while Lu Yuan half-embraced her with one hand and played with her hair with the other.

"Rhine, why did you suddenly come here? I've never heard you mention it before," Lu Yuan asked, kissing Rhine's neck.

Rhine yawned lazily, turned to the side, and wrapped his arms around Lu Yuan's waist.

"I came here secretly from the base this time. The timing was difficult to grasp, and the time was hard to determine in advance, so I didn't tell you beforehand," Rhine said.

A question mark slowly appeared above Lu Yuan's head.

"Why did you come here secretly?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled.

Even though Lu Yuan didn't know much about military affairs, he could tell from common sense that it was not a good thing for the highest-ranking officer of the army to secretly leave his post. If he were discovered, the consequences would be very bad.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also felt strange. He knew that Rhine was always serious about her work, set an example, and followed the rules (on the surface). Why would she do something like secretly leaving the base?

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, Rhine looked up, gently tapped Lu Yuan's nose, and said.

"I did all this for you, my lord."

"Ah! For me???"

Lu Yuan had even more questions on his mind. At the same time, he was also reflecting on himself. Could it be that when he was on the phone with Rhine, he accidentally slipped up and said something like he wanted Rhine to come back?

No matter how hard Lu Yuan tried to recall, he was certain he hadn't said it.

Although Lu Yuan fantasized every day that Rhine would appear in front of him at any moment during the days he was separated from Rhine, he always hid his thoughts very well when he actually spoke to Rhine.

He would only tell Rhine about his longing for her, but he would never ask her to come back, because he knew he shouldn't and couldn't interfere with her work.

Since it wasn't a slip of the tongue, could it be a security issue on our side? Thinking of this, Lu Yuan asked.

"Is something wrong on my end? Have assassins targeting Fiss and his crew come after me?"

Lu Yuan's tone was uncertain when he said this, because he felt that there was no sign that his side had been discovered.

Since arriving at Coranville Military Academy, life has been peaceful. Although Lu Yuan and the insect responsible for protecting him are very careful every day, nothing has actually happened during this time.

Rhine first shook his head, then nodded.

"There are insects that want to find you, Your Majesty, but they are not assassins targeting Fis and his men; they are the Crown Prince's subordinates."

"The Crown Prince's subordinates? What do the Crown Prince's subordinates want with me?" Lu Yuan asked.

"The Crown Prince's men want to take you, my lord, back to the capital planet."

Rhine told Lu Yuan that some of his actions in the Tenth Army had aroused the Crown Prince's suspicion, so the Crown Prince wanted to bring Lu Yuan back to the capital planet and use Lu Yuan to control Rhine.

After hearing Rhine's words, Lu Yuan's impression of the First Prince plummeted. He thought, "How could the First Prince be like this? I always thought he was a good superior. Doesn't he know the saying 'If you use someone, don't doubt them; if you doubt someone, don't use them'?"

Of course, Lu Yuan thought this way because he was unaware that Rhine's ambitions were almost equivalent to carving out their own territory. Rhine hadn't even told Lu Yuan that the area around the Alacchi defense line was about to become theirs.

"So, Rhine, you secretly came here this time to hide me?" Lu Yuan asked jokingly.

At this point, Rhine's brows furrowed slightly.

"I would like to hide you away completely, but I don't know where to hide you."

Then Rhine explained the two options, Golan Star and Coranville Military Academy, and their respective advantages and disadvantages to Lu Yuan.

After saying that, Rhine sighed heavily and then leaned against Lu Yuan.

"My lord, I really don't know what to do. Where should I hide you?"

Lu Yuan also felt a headache coming on; he felt that Rhein's considerations were all correct.

Although Golan Star can be considered their base, it's already chaotic enough. With the addition of the First Prince's subordinates, it will definitely become even more chaotic. Who knows, he might be taken advantage of by some unknown insect that appears out of nowhere.

The Colanville Military Academy seems quite safe for now, but Rhine doesn't have many subordinates there. If the news leaks and his true location is discovered, the Crown Prince's men will be able to capture him easily.

Lu Yuan stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering where he could hide.

As he pondered, the idiom "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" suddenly popped into Lu Yuan's mind. He felt as if a light bulb had lit up above his head, and he seemed to have an idea.

Lu Yuan patted Rhine on the back and said excitedly.

"Rhine, I have an idea."

Lu Yuan thought he could use a smokescreen to distract those insects who wanted to catch him.

Now that they have a fake Lu Yuan, played by one of Rhine's subordinates, at their home on Golan Star, let him continue to pretend.

It's too far to take another vacation from Coranville Military Academy.

As for Zhen Luyuan, he secretly returned to Golan Star with Rhine and found another secluded place to hide.

Lu Yuan thought that having two fake Lu Yuans would confuse the situation, making it much harder for the Crown Prince's men to find him, thus increasing his safety.

Lu Yuan thought about it more and more and felt that this method was feasible. He praised himself in his heart, "I'm such a clever little devil."

Rhine thought the idea was good at first hearing. A fake Lu Yuan could not only confuse the audience, but also lure out the Crown Prince's subordinates and other insects who might have ill intentions towards Lu Yuan.

He could then take the opportunity to kill them all.

He believed that if enough of his men died, even the eldest prince would not be able to withstand such a huge loss and would have no choice but to stop the operation.

However, given the long distance involved, Rhine couldn't help but overthink it.

"My lord, what if the insects eventually find your true hiding place? To create confusion, it means some of our guards will have to be dispersed and placed near Jia Luyuan. Then what will happen to you..."

Seeing that Rhine was becoming more and more worried, Lu Yuan interrupted Rhine before he could finish speaking with his actions.

Lu Yuan rolled over, switching their positions so that Rhine was on the bottom and Lu Yuan was on top, with Lu Yuan lying on top of Rhine.

Lu Yuan reached out and smoothed Rhine's furrowed brows, then placed a light kiss on Rhine's forehead.

"Rhine, don't overthink it. I think this is the best solution we can think of right now. As for what to do if something goes wrong, we'll figure that out when the time comes. There's no such thing as a foolproof solution in this world."

"Don't worry, I will never let myself leave your side, no matter what."

"We finally get to see each other, so don't worry about these things anymore. Forget about them and let's do something fun."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan reached his hand under the covers. Soon, Rhein stopped thinking about those troublesome things and was once again immersed in pleasure.
