The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 124: Ruan Ruan, What Should I Do With You
Central Villa District, Lu Shinian and Su Ruan have already returned home.
After setting the villa to private mode, Su Ruan took out the illusion insect and placed it on the coffee table, prodding the little pink spot on its forehead.
"Little White, how did you end up at Big Brother’s place?"
The illusion insect sprawled on the coffee table did not respond to Su Ruan’s words, nor did it create an illusion realm; it just lay there.
Su Ruan was used to its state, as it evidently signified that it was asleep.
She turned to Lu Shinian and said, "Little White is sleeping."
Lu Shinian looked at Su Ruan with complex emotions, and said in a deep voice, "This is the illusion insect we’ve been searching for all along."
Su Ruan had already guessed this possibility, she pulled him to sit down, and gently said, "Little White was given to me by my Third Brother."
"Maybe it’s different from other illusion insects."
Lu Shinian was not hearing about her Third Brother for the first time; he always felt this Third Brother was quite extraordinary.
"Is your Third Brother a doctor?" Lu Shinian pursued further.
Su Ruan nodded, "That’s what he said."
"Nowadays, the medical pod can treat most diseases; as long as there’s still a breath left in someone, lying in the pod can heal them." Lu Shinian speculated, "A doctor is not really needed."
"But many low-level planets don’t have medical pods." Su Ruan argued back, "Tianhe Star doesn’t have a medical pod."
Lu Shinian paused for a moment.
What Su Ruan said was indeed true; developed planets like Central Star had medical pods in every hospital, but low-level planets, due to post-war reconstruction and development factors, had more ordinary doctors instead.
"So your Third Brother practices medicine on low-level planets?" Lu Shinian asked.
Su Ruan was uncertain as well, and could only reply: "Probably."
After a pause, she explained, "I have the least emotional connection with my Third Brother. Since I can remember, I’ve only seen him three times."
Compared to her Big Brother and Second Brother, the encounters she had with this Third Brother were really too few, so few that she barely had an impression of what her Third Brother looked like in her mind.
Lu Shinian nodded thoughtfully, his gaze fell on the illusion insect again.
"Did your Third Brother say anything when he gave you this illusion insect?"
Su Ruan tried hard to recall, but couldn’t remember anything.
She shook her head, "Didn’t say anything, as if he just wanted me to have fun with it."
When she was young and had no playmates, she relied on this illusion insect to daily create some shoddy illusions for her.
Although the illusions were easy to see through, one had to admit, those illusions enriched her childhood, making her feel she wasn’t entirely alone.
Lu Shinian’s eyes held a tinge of contemplation, his expression was distant, "Ruan Ruan, this illusion insect cannot be with you for now."
Su Ruan was stunned for a moment, "Is there something strange about it?"
"Yes." Lu Shinian nodded, "I suspect it can make people with high spiritual power fall into the ancestral stage instantly."
"But the specific effects and duration need to be researched."
Saying this, Lu Shinian raised his hand and gently ruffled Su Ruan’s hair, "Ruan Ruan, I’m sorry, this illusion insect needs to be sent to the Military Department."
Though Su Ruan was reluctant to part with the regained Little White, she knew the Insect Race and the Federation were mortal enemies.
Illusion insects might be a different case, but if they posed a threat to the Federation, especially to those with high spiritual power, even Lu Shinian couldn’t protect it.
Her long lashes trembled lightly, she nodded and agreed: "Then are we going back to Central Star now?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"The festival celebration hasn’t ended." Lu Shinian held Su Ruan’s small hand, "Don’t you want to have another look?"
Su Ruan shook her head, "No need, the illusion insect is more important."
She looked up, gazing at Lu Shinian, her eyes, wonderfully bright, holding spots of starlight.
"The future is still long, right?"
Lu Shinian’s lips curved slightly, pulling Su Ruan into his arms, "Yes, the future is long."
But at present, they have more important things to do.
Lu Shinian and Su Ruan didn’t attend the banquet after the festival celebration, they secretly left Star River Star, taking the illusion insect with them, and returned to Central Star.
Upon arriving at Central Star, Lu Shinian took the illusion insect to the Military Department, handing it to Lin Tianxian to research.
Su Ruan returned home, purifying the Level 1 Energy Stone.
Unconsciously, she fell asleep in bed.
————
At the Third Corps Headquarters, Lu Shinian asked Lin Tianxian across him: "Have you found out anything?"
Lin Tianxian shook his head, "Couldn’t tell anything."
"This illusion insect is just a chubbier version of ordinary ones, with a little pink spot on its forehead, other than that, nothing unusual."
"The illusions it creates are easy to see through, like making a beautiful woman into a bald brute, such low-level illusions only deceive four or five-year-olds."
Lin Tianxian said, frowning: "Commander, you said you and Second Master experienced ancestral regression in its created illusion realm?"
"Could it have been a coincidence?"
Lu Shinian gave him a cold look.
"Coincidence?"
"I never believe in coincidences."
Coincidence is certainly a necessity caused by some reason.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianxian could only reply: "Then I’ll continue researching."
After a pause, Lin Tianxian suddenly remembered another matter.
"Commander, have you heard about the pure energy stones?"
Lu Shinian responded with a calm "Hmm."
"I’ve asked some colleagues; they say currently there are only Level 1 pure energy stones."
"But maybe in the future there will be Second Level, Level 3, even Level 5, then commander, you wouldn’t have to worry about the ancestral stage anymore."
Lin Tianxian spoke with a bit of excitement.
As long as Lu Shinian’s ancestral stage disappears, other legion members certainly wouldn’t dare make any moves.
The Third Legion, under Commander Lu’s lead, would only improve!
Lin Tianxian trusted his commander absolutely, his gaze towards him was full of loyalty.
Lu Shinian nodded slightly, "There’s no hurry regarding this matter."
"Conduct a thorough investigation on this illusion insect first."
"Yes!" Lin Tianxian took the order, saluting him.
Night was deep, the neighboring Star River Star was lively, whereas Central Star had long since fallen asleep.
Lu Shinian returned from the Military Department, the villa was enveloped in darkness except for the bedroom on the second floor, softly lit.
Quietly, he approached the bedroom, finding Su Ruan already asleep.
He stepped quietly forward, bent down, and gently kissed the corner of Su Ruan’s lips.
"Ruan Ruan." He whispered, "What should I do with you?"
So wished to keep her trapped in this villa, hidden in the safest place in the world, then he could be carefree, reckless.
But his Ruan Ruan wasn’t his plaything, she was the one he cherished closely in his heart.
How could he bear to just clip her wings like that?
