The starship shuttled through the sea of stars.

On the surface, Xiang Muchuan was patrolling the Border City Star Field as usual, but in reality, he had a heavy responsibility.

After the starship left the Central Star Field, he split up with the Xiang Family Army and only brought three of his trusted subordinates … and his little guide to carry out the mission alone.

"Reporting to the Young Marshal," Barton, who was in charge of piloting, knocked on his earpiece and interrupted the discussion. "The first wormhole jump will take place in three minutes, and we will arrive at the ninth transit station in the Syr Star Field in one minute. There are still thirty-one hours left in the voyage, and our destination is Planet 016 in the Abby Galaxy. We will jump through three wormholes in total. "

Xiang Muchuan, who was looking at the star map and discussing the details of the operation with Barton, Ai Qi, and Yao Zicong, responded, "Get ready for the jump. Rest for ten minutes after leaving the transit station."

"Yes!"

The sound of seat belts being buckled sounded at the same time. Everyone opened the oxygen supply helmets on their seats and put them on. The habit of jumping through wormholes had long become an instinct, and all their movements were quick and orderly.

Xiang Muchuan was the same, but when his hand touched his helmet, he suddenly remembered something. He unbuckled his seat belt and walked towards Gou Liang.

This was the first time he had a little guide with him on a mission. Xiang Muchuan was not used to it and actually forgot that he was also on the starship.

Gou Liang's presence was too weak, and the other three also ignored the fact that the Young Marshal's guide was on the starship. Seeing him move, he suddenly realized his negligence.

The only female Sentinel in charge of medicine in the team, Ai Qi, hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt and took out the hibernation pod that she had specially prepared.

The more overlapping space the jump was, the stronger the tremors would be. Time was short, and the three wormhole jumps in their operation plan were all continuous jumps of six layers of space. Even the A-rank Sentinels who had received anti-earthquake training all year round could only grit their teeth and endure the tremors produced. The guide would definitely not be able to survive and must be protected in the hibernation pod.

When he got closer, Xiang Muchuan realized that Gou Liang, who had been curiously looking at the sea of stars from the starship's window, had fallen asleep at some point.

He leaned against the silver wolf's abdomen and hugged the silver wolf's tail in his hands. On his head was a striking pink creature. The silver wolf opened its eyes and glanced at its master. It then closed its eyes and rubbed its head against the Gou Liang. The wolf's face seemed to widen into a happy smile.

Xiang Muchuan watched quietly for a second and could not help but reach out to touch Gou Liang's face.

Even if it was only this level of contact, it made him feel joy that was not inferior to the spiritual body. He originally wanted to wake Gou Liang up, but he gave up on the idea and carefully carried Gou Liang up.

The silver wolf, whose little guide had been snatched away, howled unhappily. Gou Liang, on the other hand, was not used to losing the tail in his arms. He groped around in a daze.

"It's me."

Xiang Muchuan lifted him up. Gou Liang, who was being carried horizontally, immediately straightened up and hugged Xiang Muchuan's neck. He wrapped his legs around Xiang Muchuan's waist. It was as if he had done this thousands of times before. There was not the slightest bit of unfamiliarity or hesitation. Gou Liang sniffed his scent and rubbed his head against Xiang Muchuan. He chuckled softly and murmured, "Meng, Meng Hao …"

He let go of his hands and feet and unreservedly gave himself to the person who hugged him. Soon, he fell asleep.

Xiang Muchuan, who was touching his head and smiling unconsciously, was speechless.

The silver wolf heard the call and swung its tail confidently to drive Xiang Muchuan away. The latter was unhappy. He looked at the silver wolf coldly, and his spiritual body tucked its tail between its legs and admitted defeat.

Xiang Muchuan saw that the silver wolf was following him and trying to bite Gou Liang's trousers. He simply put the sleeping pink baby on Gou Liang's head on its nose and sent it away.

Therefore, when Young Marshal Xiang, who never liked people to get close to him, came back with a giant baby that looked like a sloth in his arms, and the silver wolf, who had always been cold and arrogant, came back with a pink puppy on its nose, the witnesses were undoubtedly shocked.

Ai Qi opened the hibernation pod and said, "Young Madam … I mean, Young Master Yuan's spiritual body is really cute."

In fact, they were very disappointed after seeing Gou Liang. The ordinary little stutterer was not worthy of the Young Marshal at all. However, because Gou Liang and Xiang Muchuan were 100% compatible, and their spiritual bodies had already merged, with the Young Marshal's personality, he would definitely marry this little guide and respect him. Therefore, even if they felt indignant for the Young Marshal, they did not dare to show it.

However, Xiang Muchuan's attitude towards the little guide was far beyond their expectations. It was completely different from what they had expected. The cold Young Marshal did not feel the slightest reluctance when he accepted his guide. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying it …

This was even more shocking than the Young Marshal getting married in a flash!

Xiang Muchuan only pretended that he did not see the curiosity and surprise in their eyes. He leaned over and wanted to put Gou Liang into the hibernation pod. Gou Liang, who was still limp just now, suddenly tightened his arms around Xiang Muchuan's neck and waist. He snorted and said, "Don't move. Sleep for a while more."

Xiang Muchuan's body stiffened. He rarely had physical contact with his parents, so he was not used to this kind of intimacy.

What he did not notice was that, unlike his body's reflex, his expression suddenly softened, and even his voice involuntarily became softer.

He turned his head and said softly in Gou Liang's ear, "We're going to jump through the wormhole. You have to enter the hibernation pod …"

Before he finished speaking, Gou Liang, who had just woken up for a moment, slowed his breathing again.

Xiang Muchuan found it rather funny. He wanted to put him down again, but Gou Liang's arms tightened around him without any hesitation. Waking Gou Liang up or forcefully tearing him apart was a simple and crude method. The extremely intelligent Young Marshal did not think of any of these. He stroked the little guide's soft black hair, and for a moment, he did not know what to do with him.

"Cough, Young Marshal, the wormhole jump will begin in 30 seconds."

Time waits for no one. Although Young Marshal Xiang's helplessness towards the little guide was an unparalleled spectacle, Barton could only remind him dutifully.

Xiang Muchuan's intelligence finally came online. He no longer indulged Gou Liang's shamelessness and wanted to tear him off his body. But as soon as he moved, he was bitten by the little guide — the latter gritted his teeth in a bad temper near his artery. He was very angry when he woke up, and his brows were furrowed. He directly tightened his grip on him to show that he did not want to get out of bed at all, let alone be separated from him.

… I didn't realize he was so clingy before.

Xiang Muchuan felt that this was not a bad feeling. The 10-second countdown to the wormhole jump began, and he simply lay down in the hibernation pod with Gou Liang in his arms.

Confidant x3: At this second, I seem to see a future where the king does not attend morning court.

In the hibernation pod, all human senses were blocked. Xiang Muchuan and Gou Liang were unaware of the violent jump tremors. It was not until they left the transit station of the Syr Sector that the considerate Ai Qi opened the hibernation pod.

"Young Marshal, there are 20 seconds left of the 10-minute break."

"Got it."

Xiang Muchuan did not try to let go of Gou Liang this time. He directly carried him out of the hibernation pod.

With his senses cut off, Gou Liang was about to wake up, but the familiar embrace made him feel safe and comfortable. He did not want to open his eyes.

When Xiang Muchuan placed him on his lap, he even reached out to touch the man's tailbone.

Xiang Muchuan's waist and eyes went numb. He looked down at the bold Gou Liang with a stiff face and heard him say, "Where's the tail …"

Xiang Muchuan: … I'm too indulgent with my little guide.

Gou Liang, who was unaware of the man's dissatisfaction, persevered and groped until the obedient spiritual body ran out of Xiang Muchuan's spiritual realm and stuffed the big tail into his hand. Only then did Gou Liang stop harassing the Young Marshal. He nestled in his chest and hugged the big fluffy tail with satisfaction, burying his face deeper into the crook of his arm.

Gou Liang curved the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, this is the right hug posture ~

"Awoo."

The silver wolf with its front hooves on the back of the chair happily stuck out its tongue to lick Gou Liang's only exposed ear. Xiang Muchuan blocked it with a sullen face and gave it a warning look.

The spiritual body that was angry but didn't dare to say anything let out a cold snort. However, it didn't dare to provoke its master's dignity easily. It laid its head on Xiang Muchuan's head dejectedly and stared straight at Gou Liang with its ice-blue eyes.

Ai Qi & Yao Zicong: I seem to know too much ⊙ ω ⊙.

Barton, who was in charge of piloting, didn't hear the discussion in his earpiece after the ten-minute break. He looked back and was almost shocked by the new appearance of the spaceship and drove it into a group of meteorites.

The expressionless Young Marshal Mu's head drooped with a resentful wolf head. There was a pink flower on the wolf's head. He was holding Gou Liang in his arms, and the young guide was holding the silver wolf's big tail in his arms.

The food chain relationship of the family of four was really incomprehensible, but why did he feel that the Young Marshal who commanded the three armies was at the bottom of the food chain?

This must be an illusion! Haha.

Ai Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "Wolf Chuan really likes Young Master Yuan. It's as if Young Master Yuan is its spiritual body. Are all 100% compatible like this?"

Although the three sentinels hadn't married yet, they also knew that since ancient times, spiritual bodies were only close to their master and the spiritual body that was paired with them. However, the attitude of the Young Marshal's silver wolf towards its master aside, no matter how they looked at it, it didn't seem to be even 1% as enthusiastic towards the little pink dog as it was towards the little guide.

Only Yao Zicong keenly noticed that the Young Marshal hugged the little guide even tighter. There was a hint of displeasure towards Gou Liang's preference for the big tail in his cold expression.

Xiang Muchuan said nonchalantly, "The meeting continues. Zicong, share the information you found with them."

"Yes, Young Marshal."

Yao Zicong, who was in charge of collecting information, quickly retracted his curious gaze and began to report the relevant information he found with a serious attitude.

The destination of their trip was the Abby Galaxy, which was located at the edge of the empire's star field. It was the border between the empire, the Freedom Alliance, and the universe's insectoids. Because of its strategic geographical significance, whether it was management or military investment, it was the empire's top priority.

However, just three days ago, the garrison of Planet 017 in the Abby Galaxy suddenly defected.

The defection was premeditated. Their goal was to steal the insectoid anesthetic weapon that had been tested on Planet 017 last year. After the operation failed, they simply went all out and destroyed the garrison.

Although it caused a certain number of casualties, it wasn't a big problem. The real problem was that they seized the starship that was escorting Dr. Tom Di during the escape!

Dr. Tom Di was an A-class secret of the empire. He had devoted his life to the research of the Sentinel's mind suppressant.

Six years ago, he discovered a special herb on Planet 015 in the Abby Galaxy. Its effect on the berserk Sentinels was not inferior to the mind fusion of the Yu Gao -class guide.

Even though it was later proven that the herb's side effects were great, and there were even cases where A-class Sentinels fell to D-class and had their intelligence damaged to the point of becoming idiots, he was still unwilling to give up on this major discovery. He had holed himself up on Planet 015 for several years to conduct secret research.

Not long ago, he finally obtained results from his research and left Planet 015 with the empire's newest Sentinel mind suppressant. However, he did not expect to be kidnapped by the rebels.

Based on the current intelligence, the possibility of Dr. Tom Di being exposed was very low, but it could not be completely ruled out that the enemy's goal was the new suppressant.

Taking ten thousand steps back, if Dr. Tom Di and the information on the drug fell into the hands of the rebels, it would be a great loss to the empire.

Thus, the purpose of Xiang Muchuan's trip was not only to apprehend the rebels but also to bring Dr. Tom Di and the suppressant safely back to the capital planet.

The star map was replaced by a person's basic information — it was the leader of the rebels, Saiya.

He was born in the Seth Galaxy and had served in the Abby Galaxy for fifteen years. He was a lieutenant colonel. The environment he was in and his life history ruled out the possibility of him retaliating against the empire because of psychological problems. However, if this person's brain had not been drilled by the insectoids and he had not become their puppet, then he was bound to be a spy for the Freedom Federation.

Yao Zicong said, "Based on the information I have, it is more likely that he is a spy planted by the Freedom Federation. This is good news for us. At least Dr. Tom Di still has a chance to survive in the hands of the Freedom Federation. "

If he had fallen into the hands of their natural enemy, the insectoids, then their mission this time would not have been completed perfectly.

"Young Marshal, the preliminary screening shows that these ten planets are the most likely places for them to be hiding. Especially here, Planet Frei. This is the territory of the interstellar pirates. The various powers are tangled and complicated, and they dare to accept living or dead people. This is a place that only recognizes money and no law. "

Yao Zicong was an intelligence sentinel trained by Xiang Muchuan. Xiang Muchuan had no doubts about his judgment.

"Yes. After we get the first mission target at Abby Galaxy 016, we will go to Planet Frei." After a pause, he said, "Turn Yuan Wang's identity information into a sentinel."

"Yes, Young Marshal."

[Master, master, you have been eaten!]

Gou Liang was in the middle of reviewing the happiness of hugging a big tail in a man's arms while listening to Xiang Muchuan and the others talk. Suddenly, the system excitedly broadcasted a catfight.

It turned out that the Xiang Family had publicized the news of him and Xiang Muchuan's registered marriage.

Mrs. Xiang: New member of the family, @ Yuan Wang [Red Lips Kiss], you are the best! Xiang's Army: Congratulations to the Young Marshal on your marriage! [Corps Congratulatory Holographic Video of Military Exercise]

This news was released seven hours after Gou Liang and Xiang Muchuan registered their marriage.

Mrs. Xiang made this arrangement out of motherly love. No matter what the Xiang Family's attitude was, once this news was released, it was impossible for there to be no disturbance. At this time, no matter where Xiang Muchuan went to carry out his mission, he had already left the Central Starfield with Gou Liang. At the very least, he would not be affected.

The truth was just as she expected.

Xiang Muchuan was not only the heir of the Empire's First Army, he was also # The Man You Want to Marry the Most in the Empire, # The Most Handsome Man in the Empire, # The Most Handsome Man in the Empire, # The Most Handsome Man in the Empire, # The Richest Man in the Empire, # The Most Handsome Man in the Empire, # The Most Handsome Man in the Empire, and # The Empire's Richest Man in the Empire.

Even if the Xiang Family had made it clear that they were protecting Gou Liang and approved of him, the people of the Empire who could not accept the news of Xiang Muchuan's marriage were still full of malice towards Gou Liang. They would dig up all his ancestors in minutes.

Putting aside Xiang Muchuan's divinity in their hearts, Yuan Wang was so ordinary that it made them angry.

What redeeming qualities did he have?

In terms of family background, the Yuan Family was a noble family on Blue Water Planet, but not just Blue Water Planet, even the Twelfth Starfield where it was located was only an intermediate Starfield of the Empire. Not to mention that the difference between the Yuan Family and the Xiang Family was like heaven and earth. Compared to many other families, the Yuan Family was at the bottom of the lower noble families.

In terms of ability, he had just awakened as a guide. Because his level was not stable, he had not reached the evaluation period. However, there had never been a case of a guide who had awakened after his 18th birthday that was above B-rank.

Appearance? Temperament? Intelligence?

Not only did he not have any of those, he was even a mute with a physical defect!

Once this information was revealed, not to mention Xiang Muchuan's diehard fans, even passers-by expressed that they could not accept it. Many noble men and women on the Capital Planet were still obediently lining up to marry the Young Marshal Xiang. Who could tolerate this kind of parachute soldier?

There were cries on the Star Web, and the Xiang Family's Weibo post announcing the marriage was drowned out.

- I don't believe it. This can't be true.

- @ Yuan Wang, don't come out to endanger society if you're ugly.

- @ Yuan Wang's coordinates, I've already brought a deep-water torpedo!

- Mrs. Xiang, are you his mother?

- Marshal Xiang, if you don't come back, your wife is going to close down the newspaper.

- Don't stop me, I'm going to die with @ Yuan Wang!

- Hire an assassin, @ Yuan Wang [Blood Knife].

- Hehe, Mrs. Xiang, I'll register you at the ophthalmology department. Free for life!

Even if the dignity of the 1st Legion was eternal, the netizens who were so angry that they had lost their minds still put on their sockpuppets and began to curse the heavens, the earth, Gou Liang, and even Mrs. Xiang. Before things got out of hand, the Empire's mainframe promptly updated a status.

- Congratulations to Xiang Muchuan for becoming the second S-rank sentry with a guide with 100% mental compatibility since the founding of the Empire 5,000 years ago. Congratulations to @ Yuan Wang on your marriage!

The Star Web was dumbfounded.

The noble circle exploded.

Those who still wanted to destroy Gou Liang and replace him fell into despair. What did it mean for an S-rank sentry to have a 100% guide? It meant that Xiang Muchuan was very likely to break through and become the second super S-rank sentry after the founding of the Empire. It also meant that if a 100% guide died, Xiang Muchuan would be done for.

Therefore, no matter what kind of person Gou Liang was, the Xiang family would not let him suffer any losses.

While they were crying, the onlookers expressed:

Xiang Muchuan, Young Marshal actually didn't go to patrol the border. He ran away from the wedding, right?

The Star Web went silent for a moment.

The next second, # Heartbroken Young Marshal Xiang. # It became the number one topic in the Empire.

*

[The System, frightened by the calm sea of consciousness, trembled with fear: Master, aren't you angry at all?]

[Gou Liang sneered: Don't you know that I love it when they slap themselves in the face?]

[System:... Be obedient and wait.]
