He was constantly seeking more excitement; he wanted to continue playing the master-servant game; he wanted to kill every one of his masters.
The man in front of him was also human, and he should feel excited.
so……
Yu Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, and suddenly five sharp spikes emerged from the tips of his fingers that were covering Yu Tang's neck.
With just a slight swipe, the delicate skin beneath the palm will be torn open, bleeding profusely...
Just as he was about to make his move, Yu Tang's words suddenly echoed in his mind.
From now on, I will be your family and protect you from harm.
From now on, you can call me "brother" or just my name, Yu Tang.
And I'll... call you Xiaoxiao? Okay?
The overwhelming excitement seemed to be blocked by a wall of words, abruptly halting.
Yu Xiaowei was slightly lost in thought.
He looked up and met Yu Tang's worried gaze. He tilted his head and suddenly calmed down.
He retracted the spikes from his fingertips, and his upward-climbing hand naturally wrapped around Yu Tang's neck. He rested his head against the man's shoulder, nuzzling him affectionately. He was still smiling, but a strange glimmer appeared in his eyes.
"Yes, Master, I know I was wrong."
After saying that, he looked up at Yu Tang and said, "Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
The boy's smile was clear and innocent as he pleaded, "Smile if you're not angry anymore, okay? I want to see Master smile!"
Yu Tang thought of the negative 10,000 favorability rating, but no matter what, he couldn't match it with the boy in front of him.
Looking at Yu Xiao pleading so patiently, he only felt heartache and pity.
A smiling robot, as the name suggests, is an entity that goes to great lengths to please its owner and bring joy to people.
But why has it become a punching bag for some people's emotions?
Being wantonly hurt and abandoned...
They don't even have basic rights.
"I'm not blaming you." Yu Tang felt a pang of sadness. He picked up Yu Xiao, tried his best to respond to Yu Xiao's request, and smiled at him.
Looking into Yu Tang's reddened eyes, Yu Xiao felt a strange sensation arise in her heart.
But joy overwhelmed him, and he buried himself in the man's arms: "I'm glad you don't blame me, Master. I love you the most."
He thought that perhaps this human being was somewhat different.
Being by Yu Tang's side was enough to make him feel more happy than usual, so let's not kill him for now.
Let's observe for a while longer before making a decision.
Yu Tang had no idea that he had just brushed with death.
After all, he never thought that Wei Yuan would really hurt him.
So when he heard Yu Xiao say that, he paused and replied seriously, "I... like you the most too."
After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed, coughed, and quickly led Yu Xiao out of the bathroom.
After placing the person on the bed, Yu Tang let the doctor who was waiting outside come in to treat Yu Xiao.
The doctor was shocked when he saw the injuries on the boy's body, which showed signs of abuse.
But he didn't ask any more questions and took the equipment to examine Yu Xiao's body.
As the various examinations proceeded, his expression grew increasingly grave. Once all the examinations were completed, he instructed the medic who had come in with him to first bandage Yu Xiao's external injuries, and then said to Yu Tang, "Sir, may we go outside to talk?"
Yu Tang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Yu Xiao over there, signaled Xiao Jin to keep an eye on Yu Xiao, and then followed the doctor out the door.
He asked the doctor, "Is there anything you can't say in front of Yu Xiao?"
“This… sir…” the doctor said, “The results of the instrument test just now indicate that the body of the boy you brought back is probably beyond the scope of humanity.”
"His body cells are tens of thousands of times more active than ours. Furthermore, his blood contains an extremely rare metallic element, which I think may be related to the broken chip embedded in his brain..."
"Furthermore, I suspect that given the activity of his cells, he should be able to control the speed at which his injuries heal."
There are only two possibilities why his wounds haven't healed yet.
One possibility is that he is unwilling to repair himself, and another is that he may not have learned how to control his cells yet…
"But in either case, just based on his special physical qualities..."
If we take him back to the Empire and send him to the research institute, we'll definitely be able to…
The doctor stopped abruptly.
Because at that moment, a cold pistol was pressed against his forehead.
With the gun barrel pressed against his skin, the doctor felt for the first time how close death was to him.
He stared in astonishment at the cold-faced man before him, his voice trembling: "Sir, what are you doing?"
“Dr. Chen, you’ve been with me long enough.” Yu Tang’s finger was firmly on the trigger. “You should know what to say and what not to say.”
"I can tell you definitively that the boy is one of my men. His name is Yu Xiao, and he is just an ordinary young man who has just come of age."
"After we return to the Empire, I will register him and allow him to live with me there."
"And the results of your test today, I hope you'll keep to yourself for the rest of your life and never mention them to anyone. Otherwise..."
Yu Tang smiled, pressed the gun muzzle against the doctor's forehead, which was already beaded with cold sweat, and said, "You should know the consequences of offending an imperial general."
Chapter 6
Died for the villain for the seventh time (06)
This was the first time the doctor had seen Yu Tang so angry over someone. He immediately understood the importance of Yu Xiao.
He quickly replied to Yu Tang, "Yes, yes, sir, I would never lie!"
The reason he said he wanted to send Yu Xiao to the research institute was because he thought that was Yu Tang's purpose in bringing people onto the spaceship.
Seeing Yu Tang's strong resistance now, my heart skipped a beat.
He immediately waved his hand: "I know, he's the poor boy you brought back from Cysic Planet, the one you planned to take in. That's all I know!"
Yu Tang scrutinized him for a few more seconds before putting down the gun and grunting, "Good that you know."
Then he added, "If Xiaoxiao needs anything in the future, I'll come to you. Remember to keep it a secret and don't leak his medical information. Understand?"
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Yu Tang put away his sidearm, patted the doctor's shoulder a few times, and returned to his room.
By this time, the medic had finished treating Yu Xiao's injuries.
He left the special medicine with him. When Yu Tang came in, Yu Xiao was drinking the medicine himself.
The boy had fine, black, short hair that reached past his ears. Because he had just taken a shower, his hair was still damp, and his bangs were a bit long, swept to the side of his face, close to his cheeks, revealing his porcelain doll-like beautiful face. His youthful and innocent appearance was somewhat similar to Ah Sheng from the first world, but his temperament was completely different.
Yu Xiao didn't possess that gloomy aura. Instead, she was as pure as a clear spring, and the smile on her face seemed to purify people's hearts, making her instantly likable.
Yu Tang couldn't imagine how wicked Yu Xiao's former owner must have been to harm someone like Yu Xiao.
"Host, host! Yu Xiao is so well-behaved!" Xiao Jin quickly reported to Yu Tang as soon as he returned: "[The medic bandaged him up just now, and he even thanked him, smiling so sweetly!]"
If it weren't for the goodwill I had towards him, and knowing he was the villain, I really wouldn't imagine he would do anything bad...
Hearing this, Yu Tang felt helpless.
He pressed the button by the bed and sat on the extended chair. Little Jin squatted down beside him, its round tiger eyes staring at Yu Xiao, its thick tail swishing back and forth behind it.
After taking the special medicine, Yu Xiao's complexion improved significantly, though she was still somewhat pale.
"Take a nap." Yu Tang took the cup from his hand, put it aside, and helped Yu Xiao lie down, tucking the blanket around him: "You need to rest."
Yu Xiao lay in the clean and comfortable bedding, staring intently at Yu Tang.
In his eyes, there was no distinction between beauty and ugliness; to him, all humans were just a bunch of differently arranged pieces of meat.
Perhaps he wasn't like this when he was first born.
At that time, he would experience normal joy, find everything fascinating, and believe that everything in the world had its own color. He would be happy no matter what he did.
However, after being beaten, abused, and brutally murdered, the smile that Yu Xiao initially wore, which would shed tears of pain while being beaten, was gone.
He could no longer shed tears, and that formulaic joy, after experiencing the meat grinder, transformed into a different kind of excitement—the thrill of seeing blood.
Whether it's hurting others or hurting oneself, one feels an incredibly exciting and joyful emotion.
But for some reason, looking at Yu Tang now, Yu Xiao suddenly recalled her most primal joy.
That joy of finding someone beautiful.
So, Yu Xiao leaned against the soft pillow, reached out her hand, which was wrapped in gauze, grasped one of Yu Tang's fingers, shook it, and asked him, "Can you sleep with me?"
Yu Tang was taken aback for a moment, and almost instinctively said, "Of course."
He realized his mistake as soon as he finished speaking, but Yu Xiao had already cheered, her eyes and brows beaming with joy.
She then consciously lay down further into the bed to make room for Yu Tang.
They seemed completely unaware that it wouldn't be appropriate for the two of them to sleep in the same bed on their first meeting.
In the end, Yu Tang had no choice but to compromise.
He changed into clean casual clothes, lay down on the edge of the bed, and put some distance between himself and Yu Xiao.
But as soon as he distanced himself, Yu Xiao came closer, hugged his arm, found a comfortable position to lean against him, and closed her eyes.
Yu Tang's body was tense at first, but then he gradually relaxed.
After all, he had long been used to sharing a bed with villains in the previous worlds, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
After lying down for a while, he thought about the negative 10,000 favorability rating and couldn't help but ask Yu Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, what do you think happiness is? What usually makes you smile?"
“Happiness…” Yu Xiao opened her eyes, looked at Yu Tang, and laughed out loud: “My happiness is being with my master! I’ll be happy no matter what my master does to me!”
This time, Yu Tang stared into Yu Xiao's eyes and finally realized something was wrong.
That was a smile that had lost its innocence, leaving only fanaticism and a touch of morbidity.
