Chapter 296: The Imperial General Was Again Forcibly Flirted With 24

I certainly know the Federation's military strength is strong, but right now, at this critical juncture, actually facing the Empire isn't a problem.

Wei Te was forced to stand up, putting on a friendly appearance, "Well... well, since that's the case, let Yalikesi return to the Empire; as for how to handle it, just leave the decision to Yixiduole."

Jin Chen then reluctantly satisfied, sheathed his light-blade, casually shoved the hilt into his pocket, raised his arm, and signaled others to put away their weapons.

"It would have been fine if you'd done this earlier, no harm to harmony." He raised an eyebrow and gave a cold smile.

Wei Te forced a stiff smile, really wanting to smash the interstellar dictionary in his face to let him see what "harmony" means.

Shidiwen and Yien exchanged a glance, unwilling yet helpless.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -15, total 45!】

Jin Chen winked at Yalikesi, full of expectation for credit.

This matter is thus decided.

Wei Te no longer had the mood to bicker with Qiaoyisi, mentally putting a big cross on all Federation people.

"A bunch of unreasonable hooligans!" he thought.

After lunch, they rested at the hotel, preparing to return.

Shidiwen told Yixiduole every detail of what happened today, including the Duke Wei Te's reaction when facing Jin Chen's threat.

Soon, Yixiduole replied.

——"Take him back to the Empire and let Wei Te deal with it himself."

He replied with a smile, glancing sideways at Yien, who hadn't slept well for days and had fallen asleep as soon as he arrived at the hotel room.

Actually, he didn't mind at all; on top of being an Imperial General, he would also obtain the title originally belonging to Yien.

Once back in the Empire, Jin Chen can no longer back Yalikesi; Yixiduole can at most sentence Yalikesi to exile on a barren star, and where Yalikesi should stay—whether he goes to the barren star or not—will not be up to him.

Thinking of the underground cage he had built at great expense and the secret medicine he had bought, Shidiwen could hardly restrain himself from laughing out loud.

Although the process was a bit rough, after all the twists and turns, everything remained under his control.

"What is this person grinning foolishly about?"

0731 stared at the protagonist's screen in the system monitor, completely bewildered.

It scratched its head, "【Host, don't you think the protagonist without dark power boost is really foolish?】"

"【You're no better.】"

Jin Chen tidied the documents in his office, handing over everything that needed review during this period to several competent deputy commanders.

"【Don't attack me all over!】" 0731 fumed.

——

Throughout the afternoon, Yalikesi never left his side, being unusually clingy.

Only in the final half hour before departure did Jin Chen finally discover the reason.

"His wife never even imagined she would accompany him to the Empire!"

Looking down at the so-called parting gift in Yalikesi's hand, Jin Chen was genuinely stunned, finally realizing the cause of his recent mood swings—he was reluctant to part.

"You don't want it?" Yalikesi saw him not accepting, his tone a bit low, thinking the method he'd devised in the post was indeed unreliable.

"Um... yes."

Jin Chen felt that if he said "going to the Empire" now, his wife would surely get angry from embarrassment; better to give her a surprise later.

He took it with a smile, "I really like it." Although he couldn't tell what it was.

"I later went to the flower market myself," Yalikesi placed the seeds in Jin Chen's palm, lowering his eyes to explain.

"The boss said these seeds are cornflowers, blooming in two months."

He pressed his lips, his hand enveloping Jin Chen's hand holding the seed, lifted his gaze to meet his: "In two months, I'll be back."

The emotion in his golden eyes made Jin Chen feel a faint ache, and he pulled him into his embrace.

"Silly."

"How could I let you go alone to take revenge? And I still have to wait two months."

He didn't say those words out loud, merely opening his palm to glance at the seed.

But coming back in two months to watch the flowers bloom together would be nice.

Yalikesi thought Jin Chen found the gift silly, snorted and didn't respond, burying his face in his embrace and closing his eyes.

After a while.

Knock knock knock——

The knocking sound rang out.

A subordinate came to report.

"Report, Officer, the Imperial shuttles are waiting outside."

"Understood."

Jin Chen responded, patting Yalikesi's shoulder, "Let's go, dear."

"Mm."

Yalikesi took a deep breath, thinking he was being sent out, and stepped out side by side with him.

After resting an afternoon, Wei Te had regained his haughty demeanor, but as soon as Jin Chen and he stepped out, he put on a false smile.

"Your room on the shuttle is ready." He slightly lifted Yalikesi's chin, bestowing it like a gift.

Shidiwen walked over, put his arm around Yien's shoulders, and said calmly, "Everyone's here, let's go."

He could hardly wait to return to the Empire, locking the disgraced Yalikesi, who still faced exile, into the underground cell specially built for him.

"Not everyone's here yet, don't rush." Jin Chen suddenly spoke.

Just as everyone was puzzled, two small shuttles landed here, along with a jump-capable starship bearing the Federation's insignia.

Duke Wei Te frowned, "General Jin Chen, you don't need to see us off for the departure."

Jin Chen was surprised, "Who said I had to send you? You're really reading too much into it."

He raised his hand, and the people inside the shuttle came out one after another to greet Weite.

"Inspired by you, I also plan to bring people to your empire's capital star for some diplomacy; my father has already sent a message to your emperor. These few are our federation's outstanding diplomats."

The outstanding diplomats gave a professional smile and waved at Weite.

Weite: "……"

The empire's other people: "……"

How can I still not get rid of this reckless federation general!

Shidiwen's face turned completely green.

Weite let out a cold snort and went straight onto the shuttle.

Only Yalikesi, who had come to his senses, stood there, staring coolly at Jin Chen.

"Did you already plan to go to the empire together with me?"

"Hmm……" Jin Chen nodded honestly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" It made him feel sad for no reason for several days.

"I thought we had already reached an agreement on this; I wouldn't let you go back alone to such a dangerous place."

Jin Chen felt wronged and pouty.

Yalikesi had nothing to say.

He didn't look at the empire's shuttle anymore, but walked toward the ship bearing the federation's insignia; as he turned, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Hurry up and catch up."

"Coming, dear."

"Huh……" the diplomats made a cheesy complaint and closed the window.

General Jin Chen, in front of his lover, is like this.

The shuttle launched, leaving the capital star.

Yalikesi sat skillfully in the rest area behind the cockpit; when Jin Chen came up, he deliberately tried to compose himself.

"Don't be mad." Jin Chen, being considerate, went over to make his wife a cup of coffee. "The seeds you gave weren't wasted; I had Huoer plant them in the garden. Once everything is settled, we can go home together to watch the flowers bloom."
