Ruan Mingchu squinted at the black lumps flying around, wondering how to deal with them.
Stared at by a terrifying gaze, the black ball froze for a moment, then instinctively chose the correct direction to jump.
Immediately, regret set in. Waaah, at least half of its meat was gone! That's right, the black dumpling did it on purpose. Who told these clueless servants not to offer Master Black fine wine and meat?
Seeing the full network signal on the terminal, Ruan Mingchu snorted, thinking, "It's good that it knows what's good for it."
The black ball of fur yelled, "Gather my meat within three days!"
Ruan Mingchu smiled and said, "Wait."
The black ball of fur trembled from the laughter. The laughter was really eerie. Was it trying to renege on its debt?
Absolutely no one can renege on Old Man Hei's debt!
The fierce group roared~ Awoo~
The moment the device connected to the internet, countless messages popped up on the screen, causing even the latest model to lag for a moment.
Ruan Mingchu quickly skimmed through the information and gained a general understanding of what had happened during the days he had been missing.
His first message was to ask someone to pick him up, and he only slowly replied to other messages that needed to be processed later.
While looking at the terminal, he left the control room designated by the black ball of dust and went to find Mu Yu, who was cooking.
Once you get there, you'll have hot fish to eat, which is wonderful.
Ruan Mingchu's beauty quickly faded. He frowned as he stared at the terminal, his brows furrowed so deeply they could almost crush an insect.
Mu Yu put down his chopsticks and asked, "What happened?"
Ruan Mingchu's voice was calm and unwavering: "The 77th star system has declared independence and established a nation, calling itself the Divine Kingdom."
In addition, dozens of star systems are secretly making small moves. Although they are currently under the Empire's control, they will be the first to rebel once the Empire shows signs of weakness.
The angrier he was, the calmer he became. Nguyen Minh Thu felt that two emotions were pulling in his mind: one was the anger of being divided in his country, and the other was the calm of knowing that what was coming had finally arrived.
Mu Yu blinked: "Then it must be the 'country' that was destroyed the fastest in history."
These words sounded arrogant, but they were incredibly pleasing to the ear. Ruan Mingchu knew that Mu Xiaoyu was trying to comfort her, so she leaned over and snuggled up to him.
"We can expect how quickly it will perish."

Author's Note:
Cluck cluck cluck~ It's being continued, it's being continued, it will definitely be finished this week!
59. Serious face. I'm thinking about a very serious question.
Soon, warships arrived on the planet based on Ruan Mingchu's location to welcome their long-lost prince, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a general.
The warship hovered in the sky not far from Tianxing Island. Many small aircraft took off from the warship, flying nimbly in the sky, their tails spewing out colorful smoke that drew beautiful arcs, forming many hearts of different sizes.
This was their cheer, their silent celebration.
For nearly a year, they have been anxiously waiting. Regardless of the rumors and gossip from the outside world or the temptations and coercion from those with ulterior motives, those who came here have persevered and lived up to their original aspirations.
Ten minutes later, most of the aircraft flew back to the warship, patiently waiting for Nguyen Minh Thu to board.
Only one aircraft landed on the coast of Tianxing Island.
An Alpha in military uniform stepped off the aircraft. His name was Zhao Yongyang, one of the two adjutants who had accompanied Ruan Mingchu when he was attacked. He was lucky to survive, but he was left with a long, hideous scar on his cheek that could not be removed.
Upon arriving on this planet from the warship, everyone on the planet looked up at the sky.
Ruan Minh Thu invited Mu Yu to watch the flight performance brought by his soldiers, and the two commented on it as they watched.
"They're not flying very well. These little brats only relax when I'm not around."
Mu Yu also looked up, but his eyes were constantly on Ruan Mingchu. Although his words weren't very pleasant, his smile and his eyes clearly showed that he was very happy.
It's not that he's usually unhappy, but he's different now than before, Mu Yu thought. It's probably because the emptiness in his heart has been filled and he feels a sense of happiness.
Regardless, Mu Yu was very happy.
After the air show, Nguyen Minh Thu took Mu Yu's hand, looked at him, and extended a silent invitation.
Let's go meet his friends and partners; I want to introduce them to you.
Mu Yu held Ruan Mingchu's hand and took a step forward. Although the two had never discussed practical issues, and the law allowed for free love and marriage, the uproar that would erupt from an AA relationship, especially given Ruan Mingchu's background, was unimaginable. Countless attacks and accusations would flood in. Mu Yu had thought to himself in the quiet of the night, "Anyway, I don't care about any of that, so it doesn't matter."
Frankly speaking, Ruan Mingchu, accustomed to his high position and doing things his own way, never considered what Mu Yu was thinking. Why care about gender when species have already crossed boundaries?
As long as two people love each other, nothing else matters.
Ruan Mingchu pushed Mu Yu toward the shore, while Zhao Yongyang paced back and forth. Though his feet were on the ground, his eyes were fixed on the view inside, his heart pounding wildly at the thought of seeing His Highness soon.
Finally, Zhao Yongyang saw a tall figure. He couldn't help but run over, his lips trembling with excitement.
With trembling hands, Zhao Yongyang gave a military salute and said, "Your Highness, welcome back."
Ruan Mingchu nodded with a smile, "Long time no see."
After exchanging greetings, Ruan Mingchu raised the hand she was holding with Mu Yu and introduced, "This is my partner, Mu Yu."
"Xiaoyu, he is my adjutant Zhao Yongyang."
Zhao Yongyang was startled for a moment but quickly regained his composure. Although he was a disabled Alpha, His Highness had introduced him to the person, so it must be serious. As his adjutant, he only needed to show respect.
He greeted Mu Yu: "Hello, Mr. Mu."
Mu Yu nodded and replied, "Hello."
After exchanging greetings, Ruan Mingchu said, "Let's go."
The three of them walked together toward the aircraft that Zhao Yongyang had parked to the side.
Zhao Yongyang flew the aircraft towards the warship, chattering away on the short journey, mainly reporting on recent events. The awkwardness of not seeing each other for so long quickly dissipated, as if he and Ruan Mingchu had never been apart.
The remaining Qi Wei, Yin Ge, and the others will be picked up by the spaceship that lagged behind. The spaceship is slow, and although it departed with the warship, it has fallen far behind.
As the aircraft glided into the warship, Nguyen Minh Thu pushed open the aircraft door and saw a group of familiar faces; they had come specifically to greet him.
The warship could only hold a limited number of people, but there must have been many people coming to pick up Ruan Mingchu. The group of people on this warship alone had fought dozens of battles, and those who made it here had at least taken down five or six people.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu also got off the aircraft and greeted them with a simple four words: "I'm back."
Alphas are not emotional beings; they are happy to be back, with smiles on their faces, and even the warships seem to radiate joy.
Ruan Minh Thu greeted them one by one, and the welcome party lasted for more than an hour before it finally ended.
At the same time, they also received some shocking news: His Highness/Boss went out and brought back an Alpha partner who appears to be disabled.
They were all Nguyen Minh Thu's confidants, the lowest rank being a senior colonel. Almost all of them had been trained by Nguyen Minh Thu and had complete trust and confidence in him. They accepted this situation quickly and offered their most sincere blessings.
Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when the situation did not turn out as he had imagined. He was not afraid of being made difficult or scolded, but he did not want to put Ruan Mingchu in a difficult position. Both of them were his flesh and blood, so how could he choose?
Ruan Mingchu glanced at Mu Yu, feeling that something was off about Mu Xiaoyu, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
They lifted Mu Yu into the smart wheelchair that Zhao Yongyang had specially arranged for, and covered him with a light blanket. And you know what? Looking at him like that, who wouldn't think he was a person with a high-level amputation?
After his official return, a whole host of things came up. His adjutant handled all the written documents for him, but he had to review many things himself. Previously, they had only communicated and handled things on the terminal. Although most things had been dealt with, there were always things that required his on-site handling.
Moreover, the series of reactions brought about by the Miracle Organization's rebellion all required Ruan Mingchu's review and decision-making, because Lieutenant Zhao told Ruan Mingchu that His Majesty the Emperor had issued an edict that Ruan Mingchu would have full authority to handle this matter.
It's obvious that it was Qingyao's idea. He probably lured his father away from their romantic getaway. How irresponsible of him.
As expected, when Zhao, the adjutant, sent Ruan Mingchu the attached message containing the imperial decree, Qingyao's cheeky voice rang out: "My good son, I believe you can do it!"
But Ruan Mingchu felt something was strange. Wasn't his father a very diligent and patriotic emperor? He was willing to give up Qingyao for the sake of the empire back then. How come he is now handing things over to him to mess around with Qingyao?
I can't figure it out; their relationship is just too complicated and hard to understand.
Banishing his random thoughts, Ruan Mingchu got down to business.
As expected, a large-scale star beast tide broke out in the 37th border district. Thanks to Ruan Mingchu's advance arrangements, the star beast tide did not affect the nearby star systems. At present, it is only the resistance of the people of the Miracle Organization.
But they would never accept this situation. Intelligence indicates that the miracle has devised several ways to divert the trouble eastward, and some of them have already begun to be implemented secretly.
This star beast tide is exceptionally fierce, and intelligent star beasts like the Banlan have appeared. Even if all the members of the Seventy-Seven Star System's Miracles team go to fight, it is estimated that they will not be able to quell the star beast tide in a short time.
Ruan Mingchu was certain that the emergence of the Star Beast Tide was inextricably linked to his father, the Emperor. But now he was simply washing his hands of it, and Ruan Mingchu couldn't understand his thinking.
He now has a method for targeting the lower-level members of the Miracle Organization, but it hasn't been tested yet, and the specific effects are uncertain. Moreover, if the effect is strong, the lower-level members of the Miracle Organization would be rendered useless, leaving no one to resist the Star Beast tide.
The question now is whether to directly send troops to eliminate these rebels from the Miracles organization, leaving them vulnerable from both sides, or to sit back and watch the two sides fight, waiting for the Star Beasts to wear them down before making a move.
Just by reading these words and listening to Zhao Yongyang's description, Ruan Mingchu could not fully imagine the battle situation in District 37.
Before he knew it, a long time had passed. Ruan Mingchu looked up, rubbed his neck, and stood up from his chair to stretch his body.
Ruan Mingchu looked around. The coffee was steaming not far to his left, and Zhao Yongyang was still working in the next cubicle. But he couldn't see Mu Yu anywhere.
When Ruan Mingchu first entered the study, she told Mu Yu to wander around as he pleased. Mu Yu shook his head and said he wanted to stay with Ruan Mingchu. But he disappeared a short while later and hasn't come back since.
Ruan Mingchu tapped his head, trying to get used to the situation. If there were no unforeseen circumstances in the future, such as when he needed to personally lead an expedition, he would spend most of his time in the palace after he ascended the throne.
But Mu Xiaoyu isn't one to stay in a small fish tank; he should roam freely in the vast world. Perhaps the two are separated most of the time, but they can still communicate daily via a terminal.
Thinking about it this way, a sense of dissatisfaction suddenly welled up in Ruan Mingchu's heart. He did not look forward to such a future at all; to be precise, he did not want such a future at all.
He didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to be confined to a narrow place, but he could run away with Mu Xiaoyu. Ruan Mingchu thought that his father was old enough to reign for another hundred or two hundred years, as long as Qingyao didn't interfere. And during that time, he could cultivate an heir, right?
He's only thirty years old now. If he doesn't force his children to grow too quickly, he can cultivate qualified successors in fifty or sixty years.
The more they thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, but the prerequisite for having an heir was that the two of them had to get married.
Ruan Mingchu quietly put the proposal and marriage on the agenda. When? Let's get married after we've dealt with the Miracle Organization, and celebrate while we're at it.
Qingyao, who had knocked Ruanhuang unconscious and taken him to the tourist planet, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, feeling like he was being watched by something with a strong sense of malice.
The unborn babies also hugged their weak, pitiful, and helpless selves.
Having figured things out, Ruan Mingchu felt refreshed. He picked up his coffee, took a couple of sips, and walked out.
Zhao Yongyang heard the sound of the door opening and closing. He looked up at the clock in surprise. It was only 8:06. Why did they leave so early?
Is this still the same prince who can survive on a tube of nutrient solution all day and is always on 007?
Ruan Mingchu first used his mental power to scan the warship, and after confirming Mu Yu's location, he started walking in that direction.
Simulation training room.
As I walked over, I could hear a loud noise from afar.
