I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 297: 8.24 First Blue Star - Arrival at Planet Citlali

The one-day journey had finally come to an end. They took a 24 hours long ride in space just to reach their designated location. Planet Citlali is an abandoned star that used to be a livable planet like Planet Oberion but ever since the invasion of the Zerg, this Planet Citlali had been manifested with more zergs which is no longer safe for humans to leave.

The human race could only abandon it knowing that this star is the closest to the boundaries of the Zerg territory. No one wants to live in a place which they knew that the zerg would frequently invade. Now, the Federation had made this planet a training group for the younger soldiers before they could officially enter the Federation.

Before the battleship reaches the ground, the students were asked to gather at the shipʼs cabin where there is a huge dimensional display showing Lieutenant General Xue Yingʼs smiling expression. Unlike Marshal Siriusʼs famous cold yet handsome face, Lieutenant General Xue Ying is well known for his friendly smile and white hair because of his ice bloodline. Everyone calls him the smiling Ice Prince.

Han Ling exclaimed, ”Oh~ Itʼs Lieutenant General Ying! Why wasnʼt Marshal Altair? Weʼve been in the Fallen God Corps warship but we havenʼt even seen the Marshal yet.”

”Youʼve already seen him before,” said Feng Jing.

Bewildered Han Ling asked, ”EH? When? Why canʼt I remember meeting the Marshal?”

Feng Wu said, ”The General is about to speak. Stop talking for now.”

”Yes~,” said Han Ling who was still confused as he couldnʼt remember meeting the Marshal at all.

General Xue Ying showing at the display finally started talking.

{Good Morning recruits! This is Lieutenant General Xue Ying speaking for the Fallen Gods Corps. I know that you have wanted to see Marshal Altair ever since entering this battleship but unfortunately, the Marshal had been busy since last night. But donʼt be disappointed you will surely see him during the award ceremony. Our courageous young generation, do your best out there. As soon as we landed in Planet Citlali you guys were going to jump on your chosen landing points. Well then Good Luck!}

With that announcement from one of the leading officers of the battleship, the competition had officially begun. Group by group jumps on their designated locations. They were scattered all over the Outer Region of the Starʼs territory. The last team to jump off the battleship is Feng Jingʼs team as planned. This is because everyone in the team knows that their leaderʼs fiance is someone who works for the Fallen Gods Corps.

Xue Ying had approached the children with his usual friendly smile. He had gotten closer to this little team of his cousin and learned that the members of this group are quite special. The Sentinels of this group were all in rank A with S class potential. The Guides were also quite high except for Wu Liu but Wu Liuʼs compatibility with his sentinel Qu Yul is above 60 percent. 79 percent to be exact which is rare. In their interstellar empire, the compatibility between Sentinels and Guides is always recorded. In the history of the Oberion Empire, the highest recorded compatibility is 70 percent and the lowest is 0 percent.

It seems that Qu Yul and Wu Liu didnʼt officially register their compatibility and hide it from the Federation. The reason for this is simple. If the two registered their records of compatibility many Units and Brigade would invite them to join. Not only Qu Yul is an A rank Sentinel with his 79 percent compatibility with Wu Liu who is his guide means his mental state is a lot more secure and stable than the other sentinels which are unpaired. Thankfully, Dean Astra had implemented the rules of the First Military Academy which protects the studentʼs privacy and gives them a quiet life while in school.

Han Ling and Si Shen are also a good pair. Their compatibility is only at 65 percent but the two were both in upper-rank potential. One is A with the potential to reach S rank and the other is B with a probability of reaching A Class after this event. Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu might be unpaired Guides but their potentials were all in the S rank range. Not only the two are under the protection of the Feng Clan, but Bai Yuyan is also the chosen fiance of his cousin Feng Yang. These two would be okay even if they havenʼt been paired with anymore yet. 

The two ordinary people in their group were a genius with a specialty. One is a prodigy in all machinery whether it is repair or customization. Solaris Vega can do it all. Lin Yven is a genius merchant and logistic officer. He could bring the highest quality possible with the range of budget provided to him. With this kind of person in the group, the team he is in would never go hungry or lose resources in their hands. 

Moreover, there is Feng Jing as their leader. The people of the Oberion Empire might see him as a fallen phoenix who failed to awaken as a guide but last night his boss informed him that his cousin had successfully awakened. It was the choice of the Feng Clan to hide this for a while. This is because his cousinʼs awakening is par that of his boss, the only above SSS Sentinel in the whole Interstellar World.

Feng Jing had awakened as a Guide that has 100 percent compatibility with his boss. Not only that his quantum beast possessed the dragon kingʼs bloodline despite being born as a phoenix hybrid. Plus his potential is above SSS rank like Marshal Sirius. Arenʼt they a monster couple? They could destroy the empire if they feel like doing so and it would be as easy as breathing.

The only one Xue Ying couldnʼt understand is the existence of Xue Ran. He knew about this child. This is the child from the main family who chooses not to fight for the heirship. He chose to stay in the Xue Clan as an ordinary member which is why Xue Ying met this kid from his clan for the first time last night. His background is too clean which made him uncomfortable but Feng Jing told him that this kid is safe which he no longer questioned afterward.

Lieutenant General Xue Ying and a familiar masked figure, the man they called Lord Si, had come over before the team entered their space capsule. The space capsule was provided for each group which would allow them to disembark the battleship and safely land on Planet Citlali.

Xue Ying said while smiling, ”Hello~ we are here~”

”Lieutenant General Ying! Lord Si greetings~”

”Donʼt worry. Complete your preparations. I came to see off my wife.” said the Marshal.

Xue Ying mumbled, ”What wife? You havenʼt gotten married yet okay~” As soon as he finished his words the marshal kicked him in anger before walking away with Feng Jing at the corner. He had fallen on the ground miserably in four corners. ”Ouch! My butt!”

Han Ling and others surrounded him with worried expressions.

”Lieutenant General, are you okay?” asked Si Shen.

Xue Ying just smiles as always before standing up holding his butt. ”Donʼt worry Iʼm okay. Geez~ his temper is turning bad knowing he would be separated from his lover. He is not like this before. That workaholic man!”

”Lord Si is a workaholic person? He doesnʼt look like it as he always sticks around the leader most of the time we see him,” asked Wu Liu.

Xue Ying, ”Hmp! Of course! That man would not even sleep as long there is work placed on his table. He could even drag me with him in collaboration and we wouldnʼt be able to sleep for a few days. He and his subordinates really almost suffered from insomnia thanks to him!”

Qu Yul spoke, ”Is Lord Siʼs position higher than yours, Lieutenant General?”

”Well his position is very important to our Corps and it would be bad if we lose him. That last time he almost died on his way back to the Empire. We still havenʼt caught those spies yet. Thankfully his mecha had fallen in the territory of the Feng Clan because they are our allies.” answered Xue Ying in a roundabout manner. He didnʼt directly tell them the Marshalʼs position instead spoke as if they work from the same Corp but in different fields.

Solaris Vega spoke, ”No wonder Lord Jing says that Lord Si is undercover. It was because the spies werenʼt caught yet that he couldnʼt show his face to other people.”

”Thatʼs right. That is why except for your group no one else knew about his existence. Keep it a secret~” said Xue Ying.

”We will keep it a secret. Donʼt worry,” said Lin Yven while the honest group of children from the common background all agreed to Lin Yvenʼs words.

During the whole conversation Feng Wu, Bai Yuyan and Xue Ran didnʼt involve themselves with others. They already knew the real identity of Lord Si. They only need to keep their mouth shut and no one would know who he is.

Meanwhile at the corner.

The Marshal and Feng Jing were bidding farewell to each other. Though they were very reluctant to do so, they had no other choice as Feng Jing needed to enter this competition. As long as their team attends the event, Marshal Sirius will have the reason to bring over his guide to his side. He had already asked the family to let Feng Jing enter his Corps.

Marshal Sirius spoke, ”Jingʼer be careful of the central region of this planet. The strongest recorded Zerg living in this star is at least mid-class level with S potential. As long as no one bothered its nest it would never come out. Weʼve already put that next in a danger zone but just in case just stay away from it.”

”I will keep that in mind,” said Feng Jing.

”Maybe it is not too late to change the ship and join AʼYangʼs battleship so I can still play the role of the protectors instead,ʼʼ said the Marshal.

Feng Jing chuckles at this sight, ”Hahaha~ you worrywart. Since youʼve returned, just complete your work. It must have piled up in small mountains since you were gone for a whole month.”

”That... is also true,” said the Marshal as he hugged Feng Jing.

Feng Jing hugs him back, ”Donʼt worry. I will be careful.”

”If you fell in great danger there is no need to hide Reine. Bring him out to protect you when that time happens. It is better to keep your life safe than keep your identity as my guide. Jingʼer, remember your life is more important than mine.” said Marshal Sirius as he gave his lover a kiss on the forehead.

”Okay. I promise but... I will leave Yue here with you.” said Feng Jing.

Marshal Sirius frowned a bit and said, ”No. It is better to have him by your side.”

”Iʼm going to the field while you are here coping up in your battleship. Even if you have programmers on your side, Yue is a hundred times stronger than they are. If you want to keep your enemies under surveillance 24/7 only Yue can do that for you.” reasoned out Feng Jing but obviously, he is not going accept no for an answer. ”Yue, stay by his side and complete all his orders.”

[As you command, my lord!]

”By the way, we will be separated for 9 days, I wanted you to give me something,” said Feng Jing.

Marshal Sirius smiled and stared at his future mate with a pampering gaze. ”What is it that you want, Jingʼer?” even the tone of his voice is doting.

An amused smile appeared on the corner of Feng Jingʼs lips as he suddenly pulled the marshalʼs collar and forced him to lower his head. Feng Jingʼs lips made contact with the otherʼs lips as they kissed like normal lovers. The Marshal was surprised at first when Feng Jing kissed him aggressively. Once he knew what his lover was doing he could only wrap his arms around Feng Jingʼs waist and deepen their kiss until they were both satisfied.

The other who had witnessed such a scene was left speechless. The shy Wu Liu and innocent Solaris Vega had covered their eyes in embarrassment.

Wu Liu said before he covered his eyes, ”Oh my God! What are they doing!?”

”W-We are still here though~,” said Solaris Vega as he covered his eyes but the blushed on his face cannot be completely covered up.

They didnʼt expect their leader and his lover to kiss like that in public. Those who were courageous like Han Ling, Si Shen, Lin Yven, and Xue Ying stared at the scene with open eyes.

Xue Ying, ”Please donʼt forget there are children here!”

Han Ling, ”Wow~ ignoring the audience~”

Lin Yven, ”This is not bad.”

Si Shen, ”It looks so hot~”

Only the rest were polite enough to lower their heads or avert their gaze. Bai Yuyan even helps reprimand these courageous bunch for staring directly.

”Hey! Watch your eyes! Give them privacy!” said Bai Yuyan.
