APHMOLIR Chapter 6

Ye Qin originally thought that Fu Mingxiu would strongly oppose. If he wanted to once again act as an undercover agent by his side, then he would have to stay in this completely sealed palace. No matter how much he knew, he would not be able to pass any messages out. If he simply wanted to please him in order to protect himself, then Ye Qin also had to make him understand that the past couldn’t just be erased so easily.

Fu Mingxiu could only stay in this palace for the rest of his life. This was his punishment for him, and also a surrender to the beast inside him.

However, what Ye Qin didn’t expect was that Fu Mingxiu simply nodded and said, “Oh.”

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, Fu Mingxiu looked at Ye Qin with bright eyes.

“Will you come every day?”

Ye Qin was stunned.

Of course… that was his original plan.

This palace wasn’t on the Imperial Capital Star, but he had specifically set up an interstellar teleportation array in the Imperial Palace, allowing him to instantly arrive here. The energy required for this teleportation array was immense, and what was even more extravagant was that it was only for Ye Qin’s use. He supplied it with his personal energy mines, but those energies were nothing to him.

Ye Qin had swept through the Zerg tribes that occupied several star systems, and his wealth was enough to buy the entire empire.

But hearing Fu Mingxiu ask this, he somehow didn’t want to answer.

Would Fu Mingxiu think that Ye Qin was too eager for him if he really came every day?

He felt conflicted. He knew that he should hate Fu Mingxiu with all his heart. In fact, before seeing Fu Mingxiu again, he truly did feel this way.

He wanted to carry out the darkest thoughts on Fu Mingxiu. He had built this palace for him, never letting him out, never allowing him to see anyone except for himself, making him lie beneath him, gasping on the bed…

The hatred he felt made him even consider how to torment him. He had filled an entire room with torture instruments and prepared many drugs… in some corner of this palace.

The hatred almost made him lose his sanity.

He wanted Fu Mingxiu to know that the price of provoking him was a fate worse than death.

But all these thoughts seemed to have disappeared in the past two days.

Not only did he not want to take Fu Mingxiu to that room, but he also didn’t even want Fu Mingxiu to know about its existence.

His rational mind told him that he should hate Fu Mingxiu, but in reality, his attitude had softened so much that he didn’t want Fu Mingxiu to know—or perhaps he hadn’t realized this himself.

So, he scoffed and said, “General Fu, what are you thinking?”

“You’re not even my lover, do you think I have so much free time to come here every day?” he said with a light laugh, “Maybe I’ll get bored of you soon and never come back.”

“So, you won’t come every day?” Fu Mingxiu stubbornly asked.

“…” Ye Qin suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

“If you’re not coming every day, then I don’t want to stay here.” Fu Mingxiu’s eyes turned red, “If you don’t come, I’ll be here alone every day, won’t I go crazy?”

He blinked, looking like he might cry at any moment.

Ye Qin knew very well that Fu Mingxiu was doing this on purpose, trying to make him not enjoy the situation and act innocent, but looking at Fu Mingxiu’s swollen eyes, he couldn’t bear it.

He gently placed his hand on the corner of Fu Mingxiu’s eye and said, “Stop crying, your eyes are already swollen.”

“I… I’ll try,” Fu Mingxiu still didn’t want to give a definite answer, afraid that Fu Mingxiu would get too arrogant.

“Oh.” The Omega immediately stopped crying.

Ye Qin: “…”

Even if it’s intentional, does it have to be this obvious?

“Where’s the medicine? Hurry up and apply it, I’m in so much pain.” The Omega’s voice still carried a bit of nasal tone from crying earlier, but he had already started to push his luck.

“…” Ye Qin pursed his lips and, in the end, reluctantly had the robot bring over the medicine.

The robot that walked in was nearly two meters tall. Unlike the current trend of designing robots to look like handsome men or beautiful women, this robot was entirely silver-white, with a full metallic texture, looking more like a scaled-down version of a mecha.

“Wow, it’s so handsome!” Fu Mingxiu couldn’t help but compliment.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qin’s face darkened slightly.

The robot handed Ye Qin three tubes of medicine. Ye Qin took them and was about to lift Fu Mingxiu and lay him back on the bed when Fu Mingxiu asked, “This robot is really handsome, what’s its name?”

“…It doesn’t have a name. Its serial number is A001.” Ye Qin answered with a cold face.

“No name? That’s such a pity.”

Fu Mingxiu truly felt it was a pity.

Before, he used to work in computers in the real world, and after coming to this world, he was amazed by the highly developed information technology here. He had also fought on the borders, so he was quite familiar with these mechas.

This robot was less of a robot and more like a mecha, and it was clear that it was an extremely powerful mecha.

Ye Qin’s face visibly darkened, and he took a handkerchief to wipe his hands before squeezing some of the ointment onto his fingertips and applying it to Fu Mingxiu’s eyes.

Fu Mingxiu was suddenly smeared with the ointment, froze for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh. He blinked his other eye, which hadn’t been smeared, and smiled at Ye Qin. “Are you jealous of a robot?”

“I didn’t know General Fu was so full of himself.” Ye Qin replied casually and squeezed more ointment onto Fu Mingxiu’s face.

“Hey, hey, can you be more careful? It went into my eye.” Fu Mingxiu shouted.

Ye Qin then rubbed the ointment in more evenly.

After the ointment was applied, Fu Mingxiu’s swollen, painful eyes indeed felt much better. He nodded in satisfaction. “Now do the rest of my body, hurry up and apply it.”

Ye Qin, without saying a word, lifted him and laid him back down. He then unbuttoned the pajamas he had put on Fu Mingxiu earlier and began applying ointment to other parts of his body.

Having been injured on the battlefield himself, Ye Qin was skilled at applying medicine. He first massaged the bruise on Fu Mingxiu’s side, loosening it before applying the ointment.

However, the delicate and soft skin under his hands made Ye Qin’s gaze darken further.

He took a subtle deep breath, warning himself to stay calm, or else this person might end up being ruined by him.

“Hiss…” Fu Mingxiu suddenly sucked in a cold breath. “Be gentler, it hurts.”

“Bear with it,” Ye Qin said. “Once it’s massaged out, it will heal faster.”

Fu Mingxiu’s eyes, which had just received the ointment, were sore again—he noticed that after becoming an Omega, his tear ducts seemed to have become more sensitive. “Isn’t it because of you, you little brat… hiss!”

Before he could finish, Ye Qin suddenly increased the pressure, interrupting his words.

Fu Mingxiu barely held back his tears and cursed, “Are you trying to kill me with pain?”

“Shut up if you don’t want to suffer.” Ye Qin said.

Fu Mingxiu seemed to sense Ye Qin’s increasingly heavy breathing and quickly closed his mouth.

“I still want that porridge tomorrow.” He changed the subject.

“There’s none.” Ye Qin coldly refused.

After the Omega’s heat period, he needed to replenish rich nutrients, but Ye Qin didn’t plan to let him keep eating the same thing.

However, this was something Ye Qin would never say out loud.

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingxiu really felt a bit sad.

Had he teased Ye Qin too much? Now he had made the porridge disappear. QAQ

–

Staying in this palace with only the two of them wasn’t that boring.

The next day, Ye Qin replaced the original mecha robot with a round, brown, chibi-style bear robot. Although he felt a bit regretful about the previous robot, Fu Mingxiu really liked the current bear robot and named it Zongzi.

Although there was no porridge the next day, Ye Qin still fed Fu Mingxiu three different meals a day, making him feel like he had gained a bit of weight.

But it was just his illusion, because in the days following the Omega’s heat cycle, there was indeed a need to replenish a lot of nutrients, which wouldn’t affect the Omega’s body shape.

During the day, Ye Qin mainly handled various matters back on the Imperial Capital Star. Although he had already dealt with the forces that needed handling, there were still many tasks left to manage since he had just ascended the throne.

He said he wouldn’t come every day, but in reality, he was eager to return more than anyone else. He handled his state affairs with incredible efficiency and left work exactly at six in the evening.

The meals made for Fu Mingxiu were prepared by Ye Qin in the morning and kept warm in a thermobox, then Zongzi delivered them to Fu Mingxiu at regular intervals. Nowadays, the technology for keeping food warm and fresh was highly developed—whether it was a day or several weeks, as long as it was kept in a thermobox, the taste wouldn’t change much.

Ye Qin didn’t let Fu Mingxiu have access to any devices capable of sending or receiving information, because he knew from the military that Fu Mingxiu was quite skilled with information. Fu Mingxiu didn’t really find it boring. After all, once he recovered from the initial days of being in such a miserable condition because of Ye Qin, and after he regained some strength, the two of them started having intimate nights together.

Then, utterly exhausted, Fu Mingxiu would sleep until the afternoon, chat with the system for a while, and then Ye Qin would return again.

Dealing with this beast of a man every day, Fu Mingxiu would say he wasn’t bored at all (manually saying goodbye).

But there is a certain kind of boredom, one where your partner thinks you’re bored.

Ye Qin downloaded countless holographic movies and games for Fu Mingxiu and also remembered that he used to really like paper books, especially ancient texts. Because paper books in the Empire were quite expensive, Fu Mingxiu, who was as poor as a church mouse, had never managed to collect many. So, Ye Qin built a study in the adjacent room, collected over a thousand paper books, and connected the two rooms together.

Although Fu Mingxiu didn’t need them, it was still nice to have books to read, so he often spent time in the study.

One time, when Ye Qin returned and couldn’t find Fu Mingxiu in the bedroom, he went to the study and saw Fu Mingxiu lounging in a wicker chair, holding a philosophy book.

He hadn’t read books like these much before, preferring to dive into code, but after going through all that had happened, looking back at these texts was actually quite interesting.

When Fu Mingxiu saw Ye Qin had returned, he lazily lifted an eyelid and said, “Ah Qin, I want to raise a cat.”

He suddenly thought that if there was a cat to cuddle while reading books in the wicker chair, wouldn’t that be the life of a god?

“No.” Ye Qin rejected him directly.
