Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Inside a lounge aboard the Shenwu Army Hang Jian, the lighting was soft; Kakavasha and his sister Yi Sha sat facing each other.

Only Kakavasha kept his head lowered, hands resting on his knees, not daring to look into Yi Sha's eyes, looking like he had done something wrong.

"Sister~ I didn't mean to~" His voice was soft, carrying a hint of grievance and ingratiation.

Yi Sha looked at the younger brother before her; no matter how many emotions churned in her heart, be it anger or reproach, in the end she still could not bring herself to speak them.

She could only watch Kakavasha quietly, her expression tinged with complexity.

That she had woken safely was entirely thanks to General Shenwei's help.

The General, she had already met.

That handsome face, tall bearing, and the innate aura of one born to command — all of it stirred something in her heart.

She... alright, she really was a tiny bit moved.

But when she heard that her younger brother had actually won the bet against the General, she was still filled with shock;

What surprised her even more was that her brother had actually offered himself as the stake, letting the General marry him.

Even so, she could not summon a shred of anger in her heart.

Yi Sha raised her hand, helplessly ruffling her younger brother's soft hair, her tone gentle:

"Kakavasha, you deceived the General; you are at fault, and you must make amends."

Deep down, she was actually afraid.

She could clearly sense that a single Shenwu Army soldier would be enough to slaughter every last person on their Ciqiangniya-IV.

Moreover, just now by the warship's window, she had caught a glimpse of that place in the sky where the black-clothed people lived; it was deathly quiet, as if empty of any soul.

She vaguely guessed that those black-clothed people who had deceived their Eweijin People had most likely all been killed by the General.

"Mhm~" Kakavasha immediately lifted his head, beaming a radiant smile at Yi Sha, nodding vigorously, obedient and sensible.

Yi Sha looked at her brother's smile and smiled gently as well; then, as if remembering something, she said softly:

"Since you must make amends, then tell Sister how you and the General met~"

Kakavasha opened his mouth, about to begin narrating, when his stomach let out an uncooperative "gurgle," shattering the warm atmosphere in the room.

Yi Sha smiled helplessly, knowing her brother was hungry.

She scanned the room; everything here felt unfamiliar to her.

The bed she recognized, but many of the decorations and devices in the room she had never seen before, nor did she know their purpose.

Yi Sha stood up, her gaze landing on a square, door-like object; curious, she walked over, reached out and gave it a light pull — a faint rush of cool air instantly hit her face.

She blinked, muttering to herself: "This... has the same function as an ice cellar?"

Just then, a "knock knock~" suddenly sounded at the door.

Yi Sha started, hurriedly closed the refrigerator door carefully, and walked quickly toward the doorway.

"Is this a good time?"

From outside the door came Xuan Ge's gentle voice, familiar and reassuring.

Hearing that it was the General's voice, Yi Sha immediately opened the door, a touch of bashfulness on her face, and said softly:

"General, please come in."

Xuan Ge entered the room, holding two exquisitely packaged bags of clothes, and handed them to Yi Sha, his tone gentle:

"I bought a few pieces of clothing for you and Kakavasha; try them on, they should fit."

This is the Shenwu Army Hang Jian; when passing through a star system with slightly higher technology, he specifically had someone go buy them.

Knowing the siblings' clothes were worn and shabby, he deliberately chose comfortable, well-fitting styles.

"Th... thank you, General~" Yi Sha hurriedly reached out to accept the gift bags, instinctively moving to bow in salute.

But her motion was stopped by Xuan Ge reaching out.

Xuan Ge lightly steadied her arm, saying softly: "No need for formalities; I'll go to the bathroom first to adjust the water temperature, you two wash up first."

He knew clearly that Yi Sha and Kakavasha had grown up on Ciqiangniya-IV, knowing only a primitive lifestyle.

Be it the living facilities on the warship or various knowledge, they would need to learn slowly.

As for the other Eweijin People, he was powerless to help.

This time he brought a forced march, all veteran soldiers; the reason they arrived so fast was because they traveled light.

Those remaining Eweijin People all suffered fatal wounds, some even poisoned; the army's emergency measures could not save them at all;

Moreover, the army only had Emergency Pills, all formulated for Xian Zhou immortals — the potency is fierce, the stimulation extreme; unless they are Vidyadhara, they simply cannot use them.

"Mhm~" Yi Sha answered softly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks; she clutched the gift bags tightly, watching Xuan Ge's back as he walked into the bathroom, her heartbeat involuntarily quickening.

She looked down at the two gift bags in her hands, noticed one black gift box was smaller in size, knew it was for her younger brother, and hurriedly handed it to Kakavasha:

"For you, Kakavasha, clothes the General bought for you."

"The water temperature is set; you two go wash up first, then we'll eat together once you're done."

Before long Xuan Ge came out of the bathroom and said to the siblings, his tone still gentle.

Yi Sha nodded, took her gift bag, and walked quickly into the bathroom.

She entered the bathroom and saw the shower's spray fixture running water continuously; she hurriedly put her clothes on the rack to the side, then began taking off her own worn, tattered clothes.

Once everything was ready, she stood naked, her pale jade feet stepping under the water stream; warm water cascaded over her body, washing away the mud and exhaustion.

Outside the bathroom, Xuan Ge propped his chin, watching Kakavasha curiously flipping through his new clothes, and asked with a smile:

"How is it, do you like it?"

After this period of getting along, Kakavasha had already let down all his guard against Xuan Ge; he raised his head and said with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, I like it."

"Brat, no sense of propriety." Xuan Ge helplessly rubbed his head, smiling as he complained:

"Your sister hasn't even agreed yet, what are you rushing for?"

"Sister, she already agreed long ago." Kakavasha tilted up his little face and said with a determined look.

"Oh~?" Xuan Ge raised an eyebrow, looking at him with some puzzlement, "On what basis do you say that?"

This kid could always bring him some unexpected surprises and ideas.

Just then, from inside the Bathroom, a frail exclamation suddenly rang out: "Ah~~!"

Xuan Ge's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked in the direction of the Bathroom: "What's wrong? Yi Sha?"

"Ge... General... Sir, the water's too hot~"

Yi Sha's voice, carrying a few parts grievance and panic, came from inside the Bathroom: "I just now accidentally touched something, and the water suddenly turned hot."

Hearing his sister's voice, Kakavasha's eyes lit up — he knew his Opportunity had come.

He immediately tossed aside the new clothes in his hand, quickly ran to Xuan Ge's side, grabbed Xuan Ge who was still pondering "how to use the Water Temperature Regulator," and dragged him toward the Bathroom Door.

Kakavasha stood on tiptoe, turned sideways to open the Bathroom door, then went around to behind Xuan Ge.

Because his height wasn't enough, he could only stretch out his small hands, push against Xuan Ge's buttocks, and push hard into the Bathroom:

"Brother-in-law, quickly go in and help Sister!"

"Brat, quite the schemer."

Xuan Ge smiled helplessly; he naturally knew Kakavasha's intention, did not resist, and went along into the Bathroom.

Seeing this, Kakavasha thoughtfully closed the Bathroom door, stood at the Door Outside, and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smug smile.

Inside the Bathroom, Yi Sha saw Xuan Ge suddenly walk in and subconsciously leaned against the wall.

Both hands half-covering, she covered her body; wet shallow-gold long hair draped behind her, water droplets dripping along the hair tips, sliding across fair skin.

Her cheeks, along with her neck, were all stained with a layer of faint red blush, like a ripe apple, alluring to the extreme.

"General~~~" Her voice, frail and shy, carried a few parts panic; her gaze evaded, not daring to look at Xuan Ge.

Xuan Ge directly took off his outer garment and said softly: "Together."

Hearing these words, Yi Sha's originally bright and moving eyes seemed to instantly spin circles.

A burst of hot air instantly rose from her head top; she was shy to the extreme.

She comforted herself in her heart: this is General Sir, I won't refuse, I cannot refuse.

But in the bottom of her heart, a trace of expectation faintly stirred.

She lightly bit her lip, did not refuse, only slightly nodded her head, her cheeks red as if about to drip blood.
