"I'm fine, it's all in the past." Wen Shumu quickly stopped him. "I didn't want the Marshal to see these scars, that's why I came to ask you."

Allison's expression was cold, but he still obediently put away his terminal and pondered for a moment: "I understand. In that case, I need some time to do some research and see which hospital is suitable."

"Okay, thank you, Allison."

As they spoke, the two walked out of the bedroom. Allison adjusted his expression to a gentle one: "Madam, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest."

Wen Shumu nodded and was about to enter when he suddenly remembered something, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

"If there's nothing urgent, I won't go out these next few days."

Allison paused for a moment, then immediately understood: "Do you still need inhibitors? I saw that the brand you usually use has released a new strawberry-scented product recently."

Wen Shumu: "...No need, I still haven't finished using the ones you put in my suitcase last time."

"Alright, just let me know if you need anything." Allison shook the terminal on his wrist.

After Wen Shumu entered, Allison closed the door for him, and when he turned around, the smile on his lips had disappeared.

No wonder Xiao Jin said that his wife didn't want to wear the pajamas he asked him to bring.

He didn't believe that Wen Bin, as the head of the family, was unaware of Wen Shumu's situation, or that those scars were caused by Wen Bin himself.

The saying "Even a tiger won't eat its cubs" has always been a lie.

In the First Legion's conference room, the lighting was dim, and the 3D cosmic projection on the long table firmly controlled everyone's gaze.

Hundreds of planets were clearly displayed before all the attending generals.

"Besides Rinogo, there are also signs of alien beast activity on the border planets of Ninoto and Macellis." Lieutenant General Jin Xiao said with a serious expression, "There have never been alien beasts on Ninoto and Macellis before. The local awareness of prevention is not strong, which has resulted in casualties."

Meng Ji shook his head slightly: "Summer is approaching, and this season is usually when the strange beasts are most restless."

The aloof and handsome Alpha in the main seat stared at the projection with sharp eyes.

His voice was chillingly cold: "There are turbulent currents near these two places. Without human guidance, it's almost impossible for strange beasts to go there on their own."

The meeting room was completely silent; no one dared to breathe.

Meng Ji raised an eyebrow slightly: "You mean...?"

"The Beast King died too easily. In just over twenty years, people have completely forgotten the terror of strange beasts, even letting wolves into their homes." Ling Suyu's eyes were filled with an unyielding chill. "Is His Majesty aware of this?"

Jin Xiao replied, "It has already been reported to His Majesty."

Lieutenant General Felix, known for his fiery temper, couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his fist on the table, his arm muscles bulging as if they were about to burst his uniform: "Marshal, let's just charge straight in, destroy the monsters' lair, and find out who's behind it all!"

Ling Suyu said in a deep voice, "I will make a decision after I have met with His Majesty."

What follows are some trivial internal matters of the legion.

As the commander of the First Legion, Ling Suyu had to listen patiently after being away for so long.

But while he appeared to be listening, his mind was actually already wandering to the manor.

The walls of the Legion's meeting room are made of a special explosion-proof material, and there are no windows, so the changes in the sky cannot be seen.

The Operations Support Department had just finished its report and was awaiting the Marshal's next instructions, but the Marshal stared at the terminal and did not reply for a long time.

He suddenly stood up: "Let's pause for now."

He then quickly left the conference room, leaving the officers looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ling Suyu walked to the empty lounge next door and popped up his terminal.

Xiao Mu initiated a call with him; something must have happened.

Under normal circumstances, Wen Shumu knew he was working and wouldn't contact him easily, rarely even sending him messages.

Ling Suyu answered the call, and a video projection appeared in the air, but the other side was pitch black, and he couldn't see anyone.

"Xiaomu?"

In the darkness, something moved.

Even through the projection, Ling Suyu couldn't see it clearly, so let's just call it "a lump".

Ling Suyu quickly glanced at the time and realized it was already 7 p.m.

He softened his voice: "Why aren't the lights on?"

A faint sniffling sound came from the other side, and Ling Suyu's heart jumped instantly.

"Husband, when are you coming back..." Omega's usually clear and gentle voice became somewhat choked, and it lingered with a long tone, as soft as the clouds in the sky.

Ling Suyu's expression immediately turned serious. Xiao Mu was still in the fever stage, and he had been gone for too long.

Before Ling Suyu could answer, Wen Shumu said again, "I missed you..."

"I'll be right back." Ling Suyu's heart melted; he just wanted to teleport home instantly. "Have you had dinner?"

Wen Shumu said sullenly, "No, I don't want to eat."

Ling Suyu gave a slightly indulgent smile: "Then let's eat together when I get back."

The mass stirred again. Wen Shumu turned on the bedside lamp and stood very close to the camera, her flushed face almost filling the entire projection: "Then come back quickly."

"it is good."

The meeting was paused for five minutes. When the marshal came back in, the coldness that had been lingering between his brows had completely disappeared. Although he still didn't show much expression, everyone could clearly sense that the marshal seemed to be in a good mood.

The marshal did not sit down, but instead stood in the middle and announced the end of the meeting, telling people to send any important information to his terminal.

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

All officers: ? ? ?

Felix suddenly realized: "His Majesty must have had some urgent business and summoned the Marshal away."

After all, the only person on the entire imperial planet who could change the marshal's schedule in such a short time was His Majesty.

Meng Ji narrowed his eyes: "If it were an urgent matter, the Marshal shouldn't be in this state."

As soon as the marshal left, Jin Xiao relaxed, his smile and round face making him look very friendly, not at all like a lieutenant general.

If Wen Shumu saw him, he would definitely exclaim that this person is simply a middle-aged version of Xiao Jin.

Jin Xiao smiled and said, "My son told me that the Marshal and his wife have a very good relationship. I guess it was his wife who said something to the Marshal just now."

Everyone present knew that Jin Xiao's Beta son was unconventional. He didn't join the support department or go to university, but insisted on becoming a beauty blogger. As a result, he failed to lose weight and his account didn't take off. Later, through Allison's introduction, he became a stylist for the Marshal's wife.

Felix frowned: "Madam...that young master of the Wen family? Wasn't the Marshal forced to marry him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the way everyone was looking at him was a little strange, as if it carried a hint of pity.

"Lieutenant General Felix, never say that in front of the Marshal again." Mongi's expression was inscrutable. "I'll send you a video."

As he spoke, he sent the video of Fu Mengxing Ling Suyu carrying the drunk Wen Shumu to Felix.

Felix opened the book and read it. Even after leaving the meeting room, he was still in a daze, as if his worldview had been greatly impacted.

Ling Suyu rushed back to the manor as fast as he could. Allison only had time to greet the marshal before he saw him stride up to the second floor in a great hurry.

Allison: "..."

A waiter asked, "Butler, what shall we do for dinner?"

Allison sighed deeply: "Let's leave it for now. I doubt they'll have time to eat it anytime soon."

Everyone started out as a hot-blooded young man; those who know, know.

On the second-floor corridor, Ling Suyu first knocked on the door of Wen Shumu's bedroom, but there was no answer.

He paused for a few seconds, then grasped the handle and opened the door.

The room was brightly lit, but no one was there.

Ling Suyu recalled the projected image and suddenly turned his gaze to his room door not far away.
