Ji Zhaoming couldn't help but explain, "Actually, I'm already an adult."
"Yes, I know." Gu Yunzhou answered quickly, but he pronounced each word slowly, which gave it a different tone: "Wang is already an adult."
Ji Zhaoming glanced at Gu Yunzhou several times.
Whenever he said this, the other robots would nod in agreement that Wang was an adult.
Ji Zhaoming knew that they didn't see it that way.
Wang Mingming is a child who has just opened his eyes and has been in this world for less than a month.
but……
Ji Zhaoming always felt that Gu Yunzhou's words had another meaning behind them.
After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Ji Zhaoming had no choice but to emphasize again, "I really am an adult."
After putting on his slippers, Gu Yunzhou pulled Ji Zhaoming into the house and poured Wang a glass of warm water.
Watching their king holding a cup and taking small sips of water.
The water here has a sweet taste, like it has sugar added. Ji Zhaoming drank it happily, his eyes curving into crescents, half-covering the stars in his eyes, looking exceptionally content.
Gu Yunzhou also emphasized, "I know."
From the moment Gu Yunzhou saw Ji Zhaoming, he knew that his king had come of age.
However, the age of adulthood for humans is but a drop in the ocean for robots, so robots inevitably want to treat their king like a cub.
Gu Yunzhou will not develop any other feelings for the cub.
But then he thought about it and realized that all races could only receive the world's treasures when they were young.
Gu Yunzhou wanted to give all the treasure to his king.
There are far, far more than the cubs.
The cubs don't get this treatment.
Gu Yunzhou slowly finished speaking: "I know, the king has come of age."
"...?"
Ji Zhaoming always felt that becoming an adult wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Chapter 21 (Second Update)
<Wang shouldn't have been given such unbridled freedom>
Ji Zhaoming practically fled in panic.
He didn't know why he was running away. He stared blankly at Gu Yunzhou until Gu Yunzhou took the water glass from his hand, at which point he came to his senses.
He didn't dare to look at Gu Yunzhou even once.
Gu Yunzhou's eyes were incomparably beautiful; Ji Zhaoming was almost mesmerized by them.
--Why?
Ji Zhaoming couldn't explain why either, so he could only nod softly and say in a low voice, "I need to go back and rest for a while."
Gu Yunzhou looked down at him and asked softly, "Is Master tired?"
Ji Zhaoming wasn't sure if he was blushing. He lowered his head and quickly nodded, "A little."
Thinking of something, she shook her head repeatedly, "But the spaceship you prepared is very comfortable, and I'm not that tired, I just..."
He just felt inexplicably agitated.
But he didn't dare say this to Gu Yunzhou, and the last syllable of his words trailed off for a long time before he didn't follow up.
That's so embarrassing.
Ji Zhaoming's upper and lower teeth were almost stuck together as he mumbled, "I'm just a little tired."
In a daze, Ji Zhaoming seemed to hear a low laugh. When he looked up again, he met Gu Yunzhou's eyes, which seemed to be half-smiling.
Ji Zhaoming had never seen Gu Yunzhou smile before, so he couldn't tell whether this was a smile or not.
Gu Yunzhou said, "Alright, I'll take my master there."

After Ji Zhaoming entered the room, Gu Yunzhou wanted to introduce him further, but Ji Zhaoming pushed him out the door.
As soon as Gu Yunzhou stepped out, Ji Zhaoming knelt down and hugged the little fox in his arms.
He teased the little fox in his arms, and seeing that it was distracted, he asked, "What's wrong?"
The little fox tilted its head back and nudged Ji Zhaoming's chin with its fluffy head.
"I want to go find my brother," the little fox said.
Ji Zhaoming grunted, "Hmm? Are you from this planet?"
The little fox nodded, its eyes shining: "Would you like to come to my house?"
Ji Zhaoming had never been out and about before, so he nodded without saying a word.
But I should tell Gu Yunzhou before I go out, right?
Thinking of Gu Yunzhou's eyes, Ji Zhaoming dared not get too close to him again.
He thought for a moment, then secretly took the little fox and found Gu He.
Upon seeing his king, Gu He couldn't wait to tell Ji Zhaoming all his affection, but he managed to hold back and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty? Why are you out here? Is there something you need from the chief?"
Ji Zhaoming shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm not looking for Gu Yunzhou."
Gu He looked puzzled: "Hmm?"
If it's not true, then it isn't. Why is Wang reacting so strongly?
Ji Zhaoming realized his reaction was off, coughed a few times to regain his composure, and said, "I'd like to go out for a walk, is that okay? With the little fox."
He lifted the little fox above his head.
Gu He narrowed his eyes.
Ji Zhaoming then remembered that the little fox had been hiding its identity as a demon.
...Actually, all the robots present had already guessed it, but they just didn't say it.
Ji Zhaoming touched his nose somewhat guiltily.
Gu He, of course, couldn't bear to see his king so embarrassed, so he came to the rescue, saying, "Sure, do you want us to keep you company?"
Ji Zhaoming pondered.
Gu He smiled: "It's alright, Wang can go, but remember to use your communication tools."
He pointed to the communication device hanging on Ji Zhaoming's ear.
Ji Zhaoming nodded emphatically and answered crisply, "Okay!"
In a flash, Ji Zhaoming ran out of the house with the little fox in his arms.
*
Ji Zhaoming slipped out through the back door, and to prevent being recognized, Gu He forced him to wear a hat before he left.
When Ji Zhaoming's exquisite face was covered by the hat, the little fox let out a sigh.
Those who only care about appearances felt sad.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Which way?"
The little fox found a comfortable position in Ji Zhaoming's arms and pointed in a direction ahead.
The little fox's house was quite a distance away. After walking for a while, Ji Zhaoming suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why are there so few people here in broad daylight?
The streets were deserted; apart from a few hurried pedestrians, Ji Zhaoming could count them on one hand.
With this question in mind, I went all the way to the little fox's house.
Upon seeing its home, the little fox hopped and skipped over to knock on the door.
A moment later, the door opened, and a thin young man walked out, coughing as he opened the door. His face was sickly pale, and he looked extremely weak. Only when he saw the little fox did he show a hint of joy: "Little brother."
"Brother!" the little fox called out as well.
The little fox turned around and introduced, "This is my savior."
The little fox's brother said gratefully, "Thank you very much. My brother has been bothering you these past few days."
Ji Zhaoming smiled and shook his head.
The doors to the rooms on both sides were also tightly closed. Only after hearing Ji Zhaoming's voice did someone peek out.
Once inside, Ji Zhaoming asked curiously, "Don't you all go out during the day?"
The little fox hesitated, as if it wanted to say something but then stopped.
The little fox brother answered naturally, "Yes, because the machine race came this morning, didn't they?"
The little fox rushed to its brother, flailing its paws wildly, signaling him to stop talking.
The little fox brother didn't understand what the little fox meant. He clenched his paws in his arms, sighed, and said with a worried expression, "I don't know what to do in the future."
Ji Zhaoming: 0v0?
Um?
Ji Zhaoming asked casually, "What's wrong?"
The little fox explained, "You saw that lineup this morning... I heard even the leader of the machine race came. I wonder what the machine race saw in this desolate planet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little fox climbed onto his brother's shoulder and tugged at his hair.
"Hmm?" said the fox brother, "Stop fooling around."
