Chapter 284

"Lord Zhou Yun, what kind of luck is this?"

Ultramarines 2nd Company's Civasus Achilla looked at the Slaaneshi believer executed by a bolter before his eyes, his tone carrying emotion.

Among the Ultramarines, the 2nd Company is called the Sanctuary Guard, and their duties include guarding the entire Macragge, and of course, they also include tracking down those Chaos believers who have infiltrated Macragge.

"This guy has infiltrated Macragge for about six years; in six years, a total of sixty-six noble children have been bewitched by her to pursue so-called 'true love,' but the results of most of them are not very good."

Achilla said to Zhou Yun while directing the 2nd Company's warriors to clean up the corpses.

"The youngest son of Count Vasitor fell in love with a wild boar in the Macragge jungle, the young wife of the Sigri family fell in love with six beggars in Colossa City, the eldest daughter of the Narcissus family fell in love with herself and drowned in the Faramis coast..."

"We have been tracking her for a long time, but we never caught her; I didn't expect you to catch her while out for a stroll."

"Is this the legendary Saint Doraemon's blessing?"

Listening to Achilla's emotion, the corners of Zhou Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

"If I say she threw herself into the net, do you believe it? Halfway through, she suddenly grabbed me and wanted to calculate love, draped in purple clothes, holding a mirror with a coiled snake; I suspect whether these followers of the Dark Prince have had their brains broken by Fulgrim's bifurcated snake."

"The brains of Chaos believers are mostly problematic; their behavioral logic is usually difficult to understand." Achilla agreed.

He looked around at the area already controlled by the 2nd Company and continued: "We will close the nearby area, and then we will let Grand Master Voldus bring the Grey Knights to explore whether there are other traces of corruption around."

Zhou Yun nodded slightly; he noticed obvious panic in the crowd.

The Astartes of the 2nd Company and the Grey Knights would check whether there were any poor wretches bewitched by that Slaaneshi believer among them.

However, Zhou Yun did not really want to participate in their work.

"It seems we can only stroll here today." Xiang Xiang Leina smiled somewhat bitterly and said.

At least for Xiang Xiang Leina, this period of time was a rare rest time.

Zhou Yun looked at Xiang Xiang Leina calmly, then silently pressed the baseball cap on his head, seemingly wanting to cover the increasingly dazzling sun in the sky.

This hat was actually the secret prop "Sherlock Holmes's Reasoning Hat," which could effectively improve a person's logical reasoning ability.

This prop, as well as the portable pyramid that strengthened physical fitness, the Kaitou DX suit that acted as armor, and the body clay that covered the Kaitou DX suit to disguise as Zhou Yun's skin, were all his regular equipment, in order to prevent some sudden situations.

He looked at Xiang Xiang Leina without speaking, just waiting for Xiang Xiang Leina to speak herself.

"I know a place that is quieter; do you want to go there to rest?" Xiang Xiang Leina looked at Zhou Yun and said while sweeping her braids.

Zhou Yun nodded in agreement.

The two began to advance along the complex marble stairs; Xiang Xiang Leina's feet wearing Roman sandals jumped on the pale steps, the pale orange skirt sweeping over the dust flying in the air from time to time; she passed through the marble corridor suspended in mid-air lightly, bringing Zhou Yun to a high platform in mid-air.

Here, one could barely overlook the nearby buildings; it was clearly designed to serve as a shooting point when under attack.

Of course, when Guilliman designed it, he clearly also considered the possibility of the shooting point itself being broken, and there were high platforms and corridors that could overlook this place not far away.

However, being able to have such an open view in Hera Fortress was already considered rare.

Xiang Xiang Leina stood on the edge of the high platform; the cold wind blew from the mountains of Macragge, sweeping over her hair, briefly driving away the heat in Hera Fortress.

She lifted her skirt lightly, sat on the edge of the high platform, two legs exposed from the skirt, swinging lightly in mid-air, and then reached out to pat the position beside her, looking at Zhou Yun.

She invited Zhou Yun to sit down with her gaze, her moist eyes reflecting the sun and looking blue to purple, looking at Zhou Yun with a little pleading.

Zhou Yun revealed a look of interest, sitting beside Xiang Xiang Leina silently.

Xiang Xiang Leina moved silently, leaning closer to Zhou Yun, and looked at Hera Fortress unfolding before her eyes with him.

This fortress monastery belonging to the Ultramarines was like a maze intertwined with complex geometric patterns, full of dazzling lines and beautiful and magnificent buildings.

This city was so cumbersome, but it was not as chaotic as the Hive World; the wide sky unfolded along the boundary of the city, making Zhou Yun, who had lived in the Hive World for a long time, even feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiang Xiang Leina moved slightly, her sleeves sweeping across Zhou Yun silently.

"The sky is too wide, it's even a bit scary."

Xiang Xiang Leina said in a low voice, her tone carrying a sudden exposure of fatigue:

"Looking at it at a glance makes people so tired... or maybe it's just because I'm tired."

She put her hand on Zhou Yun's thigh silently, hanging her head lightly.

"You must be very tired too, from Ashford to Baal, and then from the ice moon Crassus to Macragge, you have also experienced a lot, right?"

Zhou Yun turned his head slightly to look at Xiang Xiang Leina who was leaning very close to him.

He could even smell the sweat smell from Xiang Xiang Leina's body caused by the warm sun, and could also smell the faint fragrance in her hair and the faint smell of textiles on her body.

"I'm okay." Zhou Yun shrugged his shoulders slightly and said.

The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang threw a part of the authority of erosion and destruction to him; he could draw power from death, and no matter where in this galaxy, there was no lack of death, so Zhou Yun's body and spirit were nourished by death, and the fatigue was also eliminated accordingly.

"But I am already very tired; Cadia, Macragge, Primarchs... these things were originally just legends to me, but I don't know how they suddenly came before my eyes."

"I... I can't hold on anymore..."

Xiang Xiang Leina's fingers climbed onto Zhou Yun's fingers lightly, and she said with some expectation:

"We... let's find a feudal world without too many people, not remembered by others, to rest..."

"There are no factories full of poisonous gas, food grows from the land, houses are built with bricks, there is an endless sea, but there is no war, Chaos, and everything else."

"There are no lights at night, but the moonlight is bright enough... I only want such days, but I don't want to be alone."

Xiang Xiang Leina was silent for a while, leaning her body closer to Zhou Yun again.

"This galaxy is not just us, you have already brought back two Primarchs, can... can you rest for a while?"

"Of course... I can't hope that you will accompany me like that for a lifetime; that is something I don't even dare to think about. Just for a little while, we can take advantage of that time to go see the sea; I haven't seen the sea yet."

Saying this, Xiang Xiang Leina's hand tightly held Zhou Yun's hand, looking up at him.

Her pupils were black with a bit of blue, like crystal gems, reflecting the sky of Hera Fortress.

That was a sky wrapped in a violet void shield, like a beautiful purple crystal in Xiang Xiang Leina's eyes.

"Or, just accompany me to see the sea. I don't hope for more of your time."

"After all... after all, you seem to have many secrets, seem to be a saint, a god, something I don't understand."

Xiang Xiang Leina leaned closer to Zhou Yun slightly.

Every detail on her face was exposed before Zhou Yun, from the face slightly shining with sweat between the hair to the pupils reflecting purple light, from the deep scar on her face that did not affect her beauty to the soft lips like flower petals.

Everything was very, very close to Zhou Yun, so close that it seemed to want to seep into Zhou Yun's soul and flesh.

Xiang Xiang Leina opened her lips lightly, and a delicate and soft voice rang in Zhou Yun's ear, carrying fatigue, powerlessness, and pleading.

"You always laugh at me for being a fool, and I really don't understand much."

"... But, but I just love you."

"... Just, just for today, accompany me to see the sea, okay?"

Saying this, Xiang Xiang Leina's lips leaned closer to Zhou Yun—

But Zhou Yun extended his finger and blocked it before Xiang Xiang Leina.

Xiang Xiang Leina's eyes were suddenly a bit moist, looking at Zhou Yun with eyes full of resentment that was not annoying.

"Can you say what you just said again?" Zhou Yun looked at Xiang Xiang Leina sincerely and said.

He casually took out a data board with recording and video functions from his pocket.

Xiang Xiang Leina's eyes revealed some confusion, but she still revealed a well-behaved expression and repeated in a low voice:

"I don't understand much, just love you."

Zhou Yun threw the data board that had finished recording back into his four-dimensional pocket with a joyful expression.

Xiang Xiang Leina continued to look at Zhou Yun with eyes carrying a little resentment, asking softly: "Just for one day, can't you even share this moment with me?"

"No, no, no." Zhou Yun held Xiang Xiang Leina's head and leaned closer to himself: "I can accompany you for a long, long time, a lifetime is also fine."

"We can cast coins for the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang in every night when the moonlight is not bright."

Xiang Xiang Leina's face turned red instantly; she seemed to understand the meaning of casting coins for the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang immediately, after all, everyone knew that life is the currency of the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang.

"But, but I have a secret, it has been pressed in the bottom of my heart, I don't want to continue hiding it from you."

Zhou Yun's voice lowered slightly, carrying some mysterious tone:

"This secret is even about the secret of the entire galaxy, perhaps related to the gods in the Empyrean; if one of the gods knew this secret... then He could even expand His domain to the entire Warp."

Xiang Xiang Leina widened her eyes, revealing thick curiosity in her eyes.

Zhou Yun held Xiang Xiang Leina's head and leaned closer to himself, then he patted the four-dimensional pocket on his belly and pulled open a pitch-black slit:

"Do you see this pocket?"

Xiang Xiang Leina nodded ignorantly.

"Okay, the secret is in this pocket, go in and take a look!"

A burst of terror flashed across Xiang Xiang Leina's face, and then before she could react, Zhou Yun grabbed her head and stuffed it into the four-dimensional pocket—
