Very well, it is indeed his fault.
After all that trouble, not only did they fail to capture the person, but they also made them wait at Roy Palace for several more days.
Tsk, I'm angry.
His Highness the Crown Prince was about to say something to retort when Qin Chu asked again, "What Crown Princess? Yours?"
The cool sound touched his eardrum, and for some reason, Levy felt a sudden pang of guilt.
He thought about it and decided that he didn't need to explain the so-called Crown Princess.
However, the way the man in black asked the question twice in a row was quite amusing. Levi leaned forward, his blue eyes fixed on Qin Chu, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you jealous because you have a crush on me?"
Qin Chu turned to leave.
Levi stood up, took long strides over the steps, and grabbed his wrist: "Are you leaving already? Are you really jealous?"
Just then, another person ran in through the entrance to the reception room.
Camin was out of breath from running, and as soon as he saw Levy from a distance, he started complaining: "Boss! It's him! He not only hijacked our starship, but he also hijacked my spacecraft, and he even tried to kill me..."
The words came to an abrupt halt.
Kamin glanced at the two cabinet officials in the reception room, then at their captain, then at the man in black, and finally his gaze settled on the clasped hands of Levy and the man in black…
Then he saw their captain bend down to look into the black-robed man's eyes, hidden under his hood, and whisper, "Are you really leaving? I've been waiting for you for ten days this time..."
Kamin thought he was either deaf or brain-dead.
Otherwise, how could he have detected a sense of grievance in their captain's words?
Levi seemed to only then notice Cumming approaching, and looked up at him: "What did you just say?"
Kamin: "..."
Camin took a deep breath: "It's nothing. I just dropped this kind and handsome gentleman in black off on the way. It's so nice to see you two!"
"Let go." Qin Chu shook off Levi.
"So fierce." Levi chuckled softly. "So you were jealous after all, weren't you?"
Qin Chu clenched his fist and sneered, "You think quite highly of yourself."
He glanced around the reception room, his brow furrowing slightly. There were too many people; he didn't think it was a good time to tell a story. But seeing Lanny, who was brought in by the butler, Qin Chu decided to stay anyway.
He walked to the seat closest to the garbage collector and sat down, glancing at Levy: "You're just going to listen here?"
"Let's just stay here." Levy seemed unconcerned and returned to his seat.
The two cabinet ministers looked at Qin Chu with suspicion.
Caming stood frozen at the entrance, wanting to leave, yet also eager to watch the drama unfold.
The person most shaken was Lanny, who had just arrived.
He stared at the man in black robes on the sofa, his entire body seemingly frozen. The moment this man appeared, all his lies and petty schemes were mercilessly exposed.
In that instant, Lanny felt extremely uncomfortable.
But it was on this occasion that Lenny had the opportunity to hear such a strange story.

When Qin Chu emerged from the previous world, the flames of the explosion were still before his eyes.
The hand gripping his waist was incredibly strong, making it extremely difficult to even lose consciousness. The man's deep, chuckling words kept echoing in his ears, making Qin Chu deeply regret not snapping his head before leaving.
But soon, something even more infuriating happened to Qin Chu.
Noah cried as he reminded him, "Sir, the mission completion rate in the last world was 0%."
Ha, the target of the mission is dead, so how can there be any mission completion rate?
Qin Chu laughed angrily: "Very well, we've all been tricked."
The thought of Qi Xuan somehow regaining his memories and then secretly whining and snuggling into his arms made Qin Chu want to tear him to pieces.
It's not just about the task; it's also about saving face.
In the end, Qi Xuan brought the bomb onto the plane and confronted him, thus sealing their fate.
Noah trembled and dared not speak; in the end, he had also dragged things down a bit. Qin Chu had long suspected that Qi Xuan, K, and Zhao Yuan were connected, but he had trusted the data person too much and told Qin Chu not to worry too much.
Now it's clear that Qin Chu indeed has a special radar to identify abnormalities.
Noah reported truthfully: "Sir, just before leaving the world, I matched the mental waveband provided by the Cabinet. This means... Qi Xuan should be the person we are looking for."
"But... for some reason, we can't see what he really looks like."
"Haven't you suffered enough setbacks with him? You couldn't extract complete information about Zhao Yuan's identity, K isn't an ordinary vampire hunter, and Qi Xuan... you even got the whole thing wrong with Qi Xuan."
Hearing this, Noah couldn't help but feel ashamed, deeply realizing how worthless he was.
Qin Chu has now become extremely calm. "The person the cabinet is looking for is not so simple. You can't pinpoint him accurately based on the data."
By monitoring Qin Chu's consciousness, Noah realized that they had encountered such a person. Instead of feeling frustrated, their superior became extremely excited.
Such a Qin-Chu relationship was rare, which frightened Noah.
He thought for a moment and then said, "If we can't locate him from the data, how can we identify this Crown Prince?"
What if this prince pulls another stunt in the future? Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
As the mission progress dropped from 100% to zero, Noah felt a pang of heartache.
Qin Chu wasn't worried about this at all. "Don't worry, I can recognize him."
How do you recognize it?
Qin Chu sneered: "That's the one who deserves the most beating."
Noah: "..."
"So... what do you plan to do after you recognize the person?" Noah asked again. He thought of Qi Xuan's sigh in Qin Chu's ear before he died. As an artificial intelligence that had read all kinds of "literary works" on the Internet, Noah keenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this task subject.
Qin Chu remained indifferent: "What do you think?"
Noah: "..." Anyway, no matter what happens afterward, I'll inevitably get a beating when we meet again.
"Alright, deploy the next world," Qin Chu commanded.
Noah, seeing his current level of excitement, figured he wouldn't be able to rest, so he didn't try to persuade him any further.
Qin Chu quickly entered the virtual world again.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a sea of bright red silk and heard a faint, familiar musical sound, but Qin Chu couldn't immediately place it.
Before checking his surroundings, Qin Chu first noticed something was wrong with his own body.
He frowned and raised his hand to touch his overly heavy head. Then, he reached down and pulled off a strange hat made of metal.
After examining the "hat" for a while, Qin Chu asked, puzzled, "What is this thing?"
Based on the weight he had just felt, General Qin pondered and uttered a plausible guess that came to mind: "A torture device?"
Noah: "...This is a phoenix crown."
Chapter 56, Fourth Story (2)
Phoenix crown?
Qin Chu also found the word somewhat familiar.
He didn't rush to ask further questions, but instead ran his fingers through the back of his head again. Even after removing the thing called a phoenix crown, Qin Chu still felt something was off about his body.
He reached out and touched it, instinctively pulling at it, but couldn't budge it.
Qin Chu's expression was somewhat strange. He turned his head slightly and saw a pair of long, smooth, black hair...
General Qin instinctively reached for the scissors, but Noah exclaimed excitedly, "Sir, sir, go look in the mirror! Hurry, hurry!"
Thinking that something important had happened to him, Qin Chu looked around the antique-style room and stood in front of the bronze mirror in front of the dressing table.
In the slightly blurry bronze mirror was Qin Chu's incredibly handsome, yet incredibly cold face. But unlike in the previous worlds, the person in the mirror had waist-length hair.
Now that the phoenix crown has been removed, her smooth black hair hangs down, giving Qin Chu an invisible, soft filter.
"What are you going to do?" Qin Chu asked.
What echoed in his mind was not Noah's answer, but the sound of his simulated camera shutter.
After several rings, Noah put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, a long-haired version of General Qin! Once we get back, we can sell these photos and our military will have no worries about funding for the whole year!"
Qin Chu: "..."
"Let's get down to business," Qin Chu asked coldly. "What's going on with this world? Ancient Earth?"
Now Qin Chu has also caught the fleeting glimpse of familiarity.
Interstellar space has limited existing data on ancient Earth, but based on some information, it is possible to simulate their vision of ancient times and use this era as a backdrop to produce many films and television series.
For a while, his adoptive father was very interested, and Qin Chu was also dragged along to watch a little bit.
However, if he remembers correctly...
Qin Chu looked down at his red robe embroidered with gold thread, then at the phoenix crown he had tossed aside, and asked Noah, "Who am I going to marry?"
Noah: ...You're a bit too confident.
Noah didn't dare answer, but said, "Sir, time is of the essence. Please change your clothes, take your necessary personal belongings, and escape from this courtyard."
"So urgent?" Qin Chu hadn't figured out the situation yet and subconsciously wanted to find out more.
Noah sighed and couldn't help but tell the truth: "If you don't leave soon, you'll be starting a story of getting married, getting pregnant, having children, and raising them."
Qin Chu: ? ? ?
Qin Chu: "What you carry will determine what you give birth to?"
Despite being completely bewildered, Qin Chu changed his clothes as quickly as possible.
Truly shocked by Noah's words, General Qin couldn't help but check his gender while changing clothes, and couldn't see any difference from his previous appearance.
However, he had a large red birthmark on the back of his neck.
