“And how did the situation suddenly become so tense?” Edwan wondered, “It was quite relaxed before.”
“This…”
Yang Ming replied seriously, “The situation hasn’t escalated yet, the Third Prince hasn’t taken official action. I’m just telling you about the possibility.”
Edwan breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the side, his tall body sinking into the sofa.
Yang Ming asked, “Do you want to escalate the situation?”
“No! Keep it this way for now!” Edwan immediately shouted, “I’m already overwhelmed! Let me take a breather!”
Yang Ming shrugged sullenly.
He sank into the single sofa chair.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Yang Ming seemed to see that expanse of asteroids spread across the cosmic space and, in the gaps between the asteroids, Valkyrie playing cat and mouse with the Sherman Empire’s Special Forces.
Every two hours, Lyu would report the latest situation there.
As long as Valkyrie stayed out of the Sherman Empire’s sight for over an hour, Yang Ming would immediately leave the surface and return to the ship.
However, Edwan’s words earlier reminded Yang Ming.
The situation wasn’t that tense yet.
Because the distance was too far, Valkyrie couldn’t sense his location. She didn’t know his exact position, and even if she got a ship capable of jumping, she couldn’t head straight for the Luofeng Empire.
Yang Ming still had ample time to prepare for the confrontation.
“Edwan,” Yang Ming said, “I will come down less often later, I will reside with the Fourth Fleet.”
“Mhm,” Edwan asked with a smile, “Did you have a fight with Miss Windsor?”
“Of course not, we’re more harmonious than the average couple in every aspect,” Yang Ming laughed, “I can’t accompany her recently.”
Edwan looked at Yang Ming, “You’re in trouble, aren’t you?”
“No trouble at all.”
“If you need help, please make sure to let me know.”
Edwan’s voice was very sincere,
“I’ve always been under your care, and those things I give back to you, another prince could easily do.
“Besides, we’re friends, Ming.
“Friends should have no secrets, that’s what my Living Officer taught me since childhood.”
Yang Ming clicked his tongue, “You really should consider dating, Edwan. How about that Sherman noblewoman you met last time?”
“It was terrible,” Edwan made a face, “I wanted to marry a Sherman noblewoman with a less open personal life. You know, Ming, I just had a drink, and she tried to pull my pants down.”
Yang Ming said, “Maybe she wanted to show off her outstanding skills.”
“Hey!” Edwan was a bit embarrassed, “Stop with the dirty jokes; I’m a proper prince.”
“Proper enough to have lovers everywhere.”
“Oh, you’re slandering me!”
Edwan pretended to kick, while several maids around them giggled covering their mouths.
Yang Ming dodged with a smile and ran towards the elevator, laughing.
“I’m going to see Windsor and then return to the fleet… By the way, if you’re short of economic experts, you can look for Windsor’s third happy friend. That old scholar has abundant knowledge and should be able to help you.”
“You’re leaving already? We haven’t even had a drink!”
“I still need to see Miss Windsor.”
Yang Ming casually pulled out two modified alloy grip trainers, continuing to train his grip strength.
“If there’s nothing major going on lately, I won’t return to the surface. Keep up the good work, Wind Star.”
Edwan looked deeply frustrated.
…
Yang Ming planned to cherish the opportunity to meet Windsor and spend their romantic night in a hotel suite, but Windsor suggested they visit their third happy old friend.
Yang Ming certainly wouldn’t refuse.
He wasn’t a creature controlled by his lower body and always maintained the proper respect for Miss Windsor.
In the evening.
In an ordinary apartment in the underground city.
The four of them sat around a square table, which was filled with homemade dishes unique to Wind customs.
Like the dish of “roasted insects.”
Yang Ming, the Subordinate Ancient God Life Form, dared not take a bite, but Windsor and 026 ate with relish.
“By the way, 026,” Yang Ming asked, “How about I introduce you to a friend?”
An expression of surprise spread across 026’s somewhat thinner face, “Really, Mr. Ming? Of course, I only have a few good friends outside of my coworkers right now.”
“She’s not a noble,” Yang Ming smiled, “This is an employee of mine, an interesting artificial intelligence.”
He placed his watch beside the table, and a circle of rays emitted from its rim, projecting a three-dimensional half-body image.
Lyu sat upright at the desk and blinked at Yang Ming, asking seriously, “Did you call for me, Boss?”
“Yes, little assistant,” Yang Ming smiled with squinted eyes.
Was Lyu nervous?
This was the first time Yang Ming had felt happy since knowing Valkyrie Po Suo started her activities.
He said with a smile, “Didn’t you keep praising 026 last time, saying she was a cute little girl? You can chat now.”
Yang Ming pushed the watch over.
026 clumsily tidied her bangs and clasped her hands in front of her chin, whispering,
“Hello.”
“Hi!” Lyu exaggeratedly waved her hand, “I’m Little Lyu.”
“Little Lyu? Are you a lawyer?”
“Yes,” Lyu replied softly, “I handle some legal matters for the boss, but since I’m AI, I can only provide legal advisory opinions.”
The two began to exchange pleasantries and small talk.
Yang Ming then leaned in closer to Windsor, discussing his schedule with her. Although Windsor appeared a bit dejected, she still expressed her support for Yang Ming’s work, assuring him not to worry about her.
The old professor beside them listened with a smile, enjoying the young people staying longer in front of her.
As Yang Ming and Windsor were happily chatting, the old professor suddenly asked, “Yang Ming, you support the Second Prince, don’t you?”
Yang Ming was taken aback.
This old professor never discussed politics.
“Yes,” Yang Ming smiled, “I’m a staunch supporter of the Second Prince.”

“What do you think,” the old professor hesitated but still asked, “can the Second Prince save this country?”
Yang Ming’s gaze slightly changed when he looked at the old professor.
He had investigated the old professor.
From when 026 was arranged by “Madam” Karmi to live next to the old professor, Yang Ming had Lyu investigate this professor with apparent brilliant knowledge and strong academic prestige, yet living in seclusion in the underground district.
Lyu didn’t find any abnormalities.
This, instead, was the biggest abnormality.
Yang Ming replied, “I always believed that it’s not the Emperor or the Prince who saves this country but its people.”
The old professor chuckled, “That kind of talk shouldn’t be heard by outsiders.”
“There are no outsiders here, and Edwan wouldn’t mind my saying so,” Yang Ming lightly laughed, “Do you want to discuss this topic with me to inquire about something?”
The old professor sighed softly, “You’ve always come here for this, haven’t you? You saw through me long ago, right?”
“No,” Yang Ming replied seriously, “I was just accompanying Windsor. Windsor is accustomed to your wisdom and feels she can learn many things from you, plus your cooking is indeed delicious.”
The old professor looked utterly baffled.
Yang Ming chuckled, “But now, we can have a good chat, Professor.”
