Sigh, thinking of them as brothers, they don't even have the most basic understanding. The little fox thought of Ji Zhaoming and Gu Yunzhou with some despair.
Look at those two! They've only known each other for a short time, yet Gu Yunzhou understands everything Ji Zhaoming means.
Thinking of this, the little fox suddenly stood up.
It just goes to show that something's not right!
Of course, it knew during this time that Ji Zhaoming was the king of the machine race.
But was the way Gu Yunzhou looked at Ji Zhaoming the same way he looked at his own king?
It hesitated, wondering whether it should tell Ji Zhaoming about this.
Looking up, she saw Ji Zhaoming smiling. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what the little fox brother said, and instead asked, "Hmm, in the past, was it them... the machine race, who were occupying the planet?"
When asked this question, the little fox brother became a little uncertain.
Both it and the little fox were abandoned. No planet was willing to accept it, so it ended up on this planet next to the machine race. When it was born, the machine race had already withdrawn from the race wars, and all its knowledge of the machine race came from books or snippets of conversation from others.
Even with just a few strokes, one can glimpse the terrifying nature of the machine race.
He shivered: "Maybe? What's wrong?"
Ji Zhaoming was still smiling, but the smile was fainter than before: "I was just wondering if this time will be different."
"Hey, what's the difference?" The older fox stroked the little fox's head. "They're a machine race, after all."
The little fox let out a soft whimper and looked pitifully at Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming wouldn't hold a grudge against others over something like this, and gave the little fox a reassuring smile.
He just felt somewhat wronged on behalf of the machine race.
It turns out that in any era, people just follow the crowd.
Ji Zhaoming didn't think his robots were saints, but he also didn't think they would harm innocent people.
Even so, the people living on this planet have no reason to complain about the cruelty of the machine race.
Unbeknownst to them, they were protected by the machine race.
Otherwise, this planet would surely be conquered by other races.
Even if they had never seen the machine race, they would still sigh that it was only a matter of time before the machine race made any invading moves.
When asked why, the answer was simply that they were a machine race.
Are machine races born with a brutal gene?
Ji Zhaoming looked at the little fox in his arms, lowered his eyes, and even the smile that had been on his lips collapsed.
If we want to help the machine race regain its emotions, the first step should be to change the way other races perceive them.
—Although Ji Zhaoming never felt that the machine race lacked emotions.
At most, it's just a little indifferent.
In this situation, if emotions were restored, the machine race would be the ones truly harmed.
In that case, it's better not to do this task at all.
When thin emotions surge like a raging storm, the pain they cause to both oneself and others is several times greater than usual.
Ji Zhaoming sat in his seat, raised his head, chuckled softly a few times, and did not reply.
This made the little fox's brother look up and glance at Ji Zhaoming.
They were stunned.
When he first met Ji Zhaoming, he looked slender and frail, as weak as a "human" in a book. He was wondering how such a person could be his younger brother's savior. Could his foolish younger brother have mistaken him for someone else?
Now, he has retracted all his previous views.
Ji Zhaoming sat quietly in the chair. Beneath him was the most ordinary and worn-out chair. Although he was in a simple and cramped room, it was as if he were standing on the widest plain, with an endless sky in his eyes.
Such a person should not and could not remain unknown.
The little fox brother swallowed hard and asked in a panic, "Speaking of which, I don't think I know your name? What race is your savior?"
Ji Zhaoming smiled and said, "Ji Zhaoming."
A name I've never heard of before.
The little fox brother asked, "What kind of race is that...?"
It wouldn't hurt to tell him directly, but we just said some bad things about the machine race, and the little fox brother looks sickly, so it's better not to upset him.
Ji Zhaoming tilted his head: "An ordinary race. You'll find out next time."
As Ji Zhaoming smiled again, the previously oppressive aura instantly dissipated.
The little fox brother laughed along, then, remembering something, joked, "For a moment just now, I almost thought you were a machine."
It's said that machine races are the races that like humans the most of all, so it's not surprising that they can take human form.
If Ji Zhaoming is a machine race...
The little fox smiled and shook its head.
His worldview would be shattered.

After Gu Yunzhou finished his work, he knocked twice on Ji Zhaoming's door.
There was no one inside and no one answered.
Gu Yunzhou knocked twice more.
There was still no response.
He opened the door.
The place was empty, only silence.
Where is his master?
Where is his great master?
Gu He, who happened to be passing by, asked curiously, "Hey, Chief, didn't you know the King went out?"
The moment the words left my mouth, I knew they were inappropriate.
Sure enough, Gu He immediately saw Gu Yunzhou's face darken.
Gu He asked cautiously, "Chief, are you alright?"
Gu Yunzhou glanced at Gu He indifferently, then turned and left.
He thought to himself, "I really shouldn't have brought my treasures with me."
I should never have given Wang such unbridled freedom.

As soon as Qu Tang opened his eyes, he was met with several tall and imposing men, all of whom were frowning as they looked at him.
Without even thinking, I knew I couldn't win.
Qu Tang: "..."
I almost cried.
Qu Tang pleaded softly, her voice trembling with tears, "Please, please don't kill me."
The men looked at each other, then suddenly knelt down in unison: "Young Master, who would you like to serve you tonight?"
Qu Tang: "?"

Chapter 22 (Four in One)
<Ji Zhaoming's name is etched in my heart>
But no matter how much Gu Yunzhou thought about it, he couldn't bear to hurt... their king.
When Ji Zhaoming returned furtively with the little fox in his arms, before he could even enter the house, he saw Gu Yunzhou sitting in the garden.
Ji Zhaoming, as if caught red-handed, lowered his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "Gu Yunzhou."
However, upon hearing the voice, Gu Yunzhou merely raised his head and glanced indifferently at Ji Zhaoming.
That one glance almost chilled half of Ji Zhaoming's heart.
He slowly made his way to Gu Yunzhou's side and called out, "Gu... Gu Yunzhou."
He had never seen Gu Yunzhou look like this before.
Before Ji Zhaoming came to this world, he had never met Gu Yunzhou. But judging from what the robot and the little fox brother said earlier, Gu Yunzhou seemed to have returned to the way he was before he met Ji Zhaoming overnight.
—He has absolutely no interest in anything.
