Chapter 275
Fan Xiao is Luo Xi's first partner. Now that they have met again after a long separation, the right to stay overnight tonight naturally belongs to him.
Luo Xi had no objection to this. After dinner, she went back to the room with Fan Xiao.
Inside the spaceship, the warm yellow light was like melted honey, gently enveloping every corner. Luo Xi nestled in Fan Xiao's arms, her nose filled with his pleasant scent, like the fresh air of a forest after rain, inexplicably soothing.
"How long...is it been since we last met?" Luo Xi's fingers unconsciously drew circles on Fan Xiao's chest, her voice soft and sticky, with a hint of uncertainty.
Fan Xiao lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. His silver hair slid across her cheek, bringing a slight tickle. "I can't remember clearly. I just know that I missed you so much that I was going crazy." He tightened his arms, as if to rub her into his body.
A faint blush crept into Luo Xi's cheeks. She could sense the longing and yearning in Fan Xiao's words, like a rich, intoxicating wine. She raised her head and met his deep, icy blue eyes, which reflected her image, as if she were the only one left in the world.
"So...what about the children? Are they okay?" Rosie's voice was filled with anticipation and caution. She was not a competent mother, although in the interstellar space, all cubs have absent mothers in their lives.
"Them?" A cunning flashed in Fan Xiao's eyes. "You'll see them for yourself when you get back." He paused deliberately, watching the anxiety flash in Luo Xi's eyes, before slowly speaking, "They're two tough little guys. They're making a fuss in the barracks all day long. Adjutant Troy is almost fed up with them."
Rosie couldn't help but burst out laughing as she imagined that scene. She could imagine two energetic wolf cubs running rampant in the military camp. The serious soldiers would probably be helpless in the face of two delicate cubs.
"I'll be able to see them when I go back..." Luo Xi murmured to herself, her eyes full of anticipation, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
Fan Xiao looked at her with eyes so gentle that they could drip water. He lowered his head and gently held her lips, rubbing them together as if he were savoring the most delicious delicacy in the world.
"Mmm..." Luo Xi moaned, her body unconsciously softening. She climbed onto Fan Xiao's neck and clumsily responded to his kiss, like a well-behaved kitten, allowing its owner to pet her.
"Xixi..." Fan Xiao's voice became hoarse and full of lust, "We haven't seen each other for a long time..." His palms began to wander, tracing her exquisite curves through the thin fabric.
Luo Xi's body trembled slightly. She could feel the changes in Fan Xiao, and also the longing of her own body. Ever since her pregnancy, her body had become unusually sensitive, probably due to hormonal changes. At this moment, being teased by Fan Xiao, memories deep within her body were awakened, like dry land longing for the nourishment of rain.
"Hmm..." She responded softly, her voice so charming that it swept across Fanxiao's heart like a feather.
Fan Xiao couldn't hold back any longer, he picked up Luo Xi by the waist and strode towards the bedroom. His steps were urgent and steady, like a lion that has captured its prey and can't wait to enjoy its spoils.
The bedroom door was gently closed, isolating all the beauty inside. Only the warm yellow light penetrated through the crack of the door and sprinkled onto the corridor, like flowing golden sand, shimmering with an ambiguous light.
Inside, Luo Xi was gently placed on the soft bed, like a feather falling into the clouds. Fan Xiao approached, his tall body completely covering her like a mountain, giving her a sense of oppression, yet also an inexplicable sense of peace.
"Xixi, I love you..." Fan Xiao whispered in her ear, his voice low and sexy, like the strings of a cello gently plucking.
Luo Xi closed her eyes and felt Fan Xiao's kiss, from her forehead to her eyebrows, from the tip of her nose to her lips, and then to her neck... It was like waves of electric current, sweeping through her body, making her tremble slightly.
"Fanxiao..." She murmured his name, like in a dream, with endless attachment and dependence.
"I'm here." Fan Xiao responded softly, and his kiss became more passionate, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
Luo Xi felt like a small boat, floating in Fan Xiao's passion, unable to find a direction, and without needing to find one. She only needed to hold him tightly, feel him, respond to him, and become one with him...
The night is still long, and their time has just begun...
……
In the bedroom, the romance faded, but the afterglow of love lingered in the air, like a faint scent of rouge. Fan Xiao contentedly held Luo Xi in his arms, his fingers gently combing through her sweat-soaked hair, like a skilled musician plucking the strings of a lute.
Luo Xi was like a lazy cat, nestling in Fan Xiao's chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, feeling the warmth coming from his body, like a ray of sunshine in winter, making people nostalgic.
"What are you thinking about?" Fan Xiao lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. His voice was low and gentle, like a glass of mellow red wine, intoxicating.
"I'm wondering..." Rosie's voice was soft and a little confused, "What should we do next?"
"What do you think?" Fan Xiao did not answer directly, but asked instead. He liked to see Luo Xi thinking, like a flower in bud, full of vitality.
"I want to...build my own power." Luo Xi raised her head, her eyes gleaming with determination, like the brightest stars in the night sky. "I don't want to be at the mercy of others like before, with no control over my own affairs."
A hint of admiration flashed in Fan Xiao's eyes. He liked Luo Xi's courage and determination. She was like a rose with thorns, beautiful and dangerous.
"Okay, I support you." Fan Xiao's voice was deep and powerful, like a mountain giving people a sense of security. "No matter what you want to do, I will be with you."
A warm feeling surged in Luo Xi's heart. She knew that no matter when and where, Fan Xiao would always stand behind her and be her strongest support.
"However..." Fan Xiao changed the subject, frowning slightly, "Establishing power is not easy. You need to plan for the long term."
"Yeah." Luo Xi nodded. She also knew the difficulty involved. It was like climbing a steep peak, and she needed to proceed step by step carefully. "I want to hear your opinions."
"You need to discuss this with Ling Yuan and Mike," Fan Xiao said, casually dialing their number. "Ling Yuan, that guy, tsk, he's an old fox, with a mind full of tricks like a honeycomb, but I have to admit, he's got a really good brain. As for Mike, he's a general after all, and his mind is determined by his butt. He's definitely going to look at things differently from us, so he might be able to give you some good ideas."
Luo Xi thought about it and realized that this was the truth. She was so anxious about this matter that she felt like she was being scratched by a cat. She didn't want to delay for a moment, so she immediately got out of bed and went to wash up.
After she had packed up, she rushed over with Fan Xiao. Ling Yuan and Mike, who had received the news, were already waiting in the meeting room of the starship.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat subtle.
Ling Yuan still wore his noble demeanor, his white hair neatly tied back, his red eyes flickering as if they could see into people's hearts. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound that was particularly clear in the silent room.
Mike, on the other hand, was dressed in a neat military uniform, his blond hair gleaming in the light, his blue eyes deep, like a tranquil sea, unfathomable. He stood tall and straight, and just sitting there, he gave off a sense of reliability, like a guardian knight, incredibly handsome.
Luo Xi sat across from them, feeling a little uneasy, like a little rabbit in her arms, beating non-stop. She took a deep breath and tried to sound calm: "I want to build my own power."
Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows, his red eyes showing no emotion: "Oh? Tell me about it."
"I don't want to be controlled by others anymore. I want to control my own destiny." Rosie's voice was not loud, but very firm, like a sprout breaking through the soil, full of vitality.
"This is not an easy thing to do." Mike spoke, his voice low and magnetic, like the bass of a cello, making people want to listen carefully.
"I know." Rosie nodded, "but I've made up my mind."
"Why do you suddenly have this idea?" Ling Yuan asked, his voice gentle, like the spring breeze, making people feel comfortable, but with a hint of inquiry.
Rosie lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids. She thought of her experiences during this period, and they flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
From the confusion and helplessness when she first arrived in the interstellar space, to the peace of mind she felt when she was protected by Fan Xiao and Ling Yuan, to the helplessness she felt when she was fought over by various forces... She was like a puppet, being manipulated by others and unable to control her own destiny.
"I've had enough." Rosie raised her head, a determined glint in her eyes. "I want to make my own decision."
Ling Yuan nodded slightly, a flicker of admiration in his red eyes. He liked Luo Xi's ambition and courage. She was like a rose blooming in the wind and rain, beautiful and strong.
"The Chaos Star Region is a good entry point." Ling Yuan's slender fingers tapped the table lightly, as if he was thinking about something. "Marshal Kyle's battle wiped out the old forces over there. Now there is a power vacuum, which is convenient for us to intervene."
Luo Qian's gaze fell on Ling Yuan, her eyes full of admiration.
Ling Yuan is worthy of being born into the nine-tailed fox clan. He can always quickly find the key to the problem among a myriad of issues and point out the key points incisively.
She admired his keen insight and judgment very much.
Ling Yuan felt Luo Xi's gaze, and his heart felt as if a feather was gently brushing against it, causing a tingling sensation.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of pride in his red eyes.
As a businessman, he was used to thinking from the perspective of profit. "My suggestion is to gather those forces that remain after Marshal Kyle's purge."
Ling Yuan's voice is low and magnetic, like mellow red wine, intoxicating.
"Reorganize them so that we can quickly put together a team for our use."
Mike heard this, but had a different opinion.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "I believe that we currently have no shortage of high-end combat capabilities or strong financial resources. There's no need to divert our attention to areas we're not familiar with."
His deep blue eyes sparkled with determination, as dazzling as gems in the deep sea.
He paused and continued, "We only need to establish two teams. One is an elite division composed of high-end combat forces, responsible for conquering all directions. The other is a team composed of elite scientific researchers, responsible for researching high-tech weapons and improving our overall strength."
Mike's voice was deep and powerful, like an experienced general arranging his troops.
Rosie's eyes lit up. Mike's suggestion was concise and practical, like a sharp dagger, striking directly at the heart of the matter. "You're right. This way, we can both ensure our own safety and continuously improve our strength. Kill two birds with one stone."
"Then, where do the people come from?" Fan Xiao, who had been silent all this time, asked in a low voice. He was a man who always preferred to solve problems with his fists, but now he started to think seriously.
Luo Xi frowned, stroking her chin with her slender fingers, as if she was pondering a difficult problem: "Aren't there any masters in the Chaos Star Region? If we recruit them there, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"
Ling Yuan shook his head, a shrewd look flashing in his red eyes. "No, the people of the Chaos Star Region are fierce and unruly. Recruiting newcomers would require a lot of effort to train. It would be better to recruit those who are easy to control from the beginning to save time and effort." He paused, his tone unquestionable, "It's settled. I'll let Evan handle it."
Seeing that Ling Yuan had already made up his mind, Luo Qian stopped talking and secretly sighed in her heart that Ling Yuan was really a guy who could do great things and he always considered things so carefully.
"As for Evan..." Fan Xiao suddenly spoke, a hint of worry in his tone, "Is he okay?"
"Don't worry, Evan is very comprehensive." Ling Yuan said confidently.
……
"Yes! Boss!"
Evan, on the other side of the interstellar communication, had just finished talking to Ling Yuan and was completely stunned. He stood there blankly, like a petrified statue, with Ling Yuan's instructions constantly echoing in his mind. He felt unwell.
Evan pointed at his nose, a look of disbelief on his face, "I'm a restaurant owner, and you want me to go to Jianguo?!" He felt like he was struck by lightning, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and he felt terrible all over.
"Boss, you're going to heaven!" Evan roared to the sky, his voice full of despair, "Why don't you give me a lollipop and let me wave and cast spells to build a universe?" He felt that he must be crazy, otherwise how could he have such an unreliable boss?
He felt like crying, but he couldn't. He felt his life was completely bleak. He had originally thought that his biggest challenge in life would be to open restaurants all over the galaxy, but he had no idea that even greater challenges were waiting for him.
"Oh, forget it, he's the boss after all..."
Evan roared to the sky.
He silently glanced at the balance in his bank account.
Well, sure enough.
He is suitable to be a kind of ox or horse who is always ready to face challenges!
