126 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 125
byChapter 125 Science Fiction‧Prostitution Imperial Major General (19)
“The Imperial War God kissed a woman passionately on the street, and his relationship was suspected to be public.”
“Girls, the man of your dreams is in love, but it’s a pity that he’s not you.”
“Who is the mysterious girlfriend of the Duke of Garter? According to insiders, the identity of the woman is not simple.”
Ye Xuan was half leaning on the bed, browsing various gossip tabloids with relish.The contents of these reports were all similar. Ever since the scene of Ke Xiu and Ye Xuan hugging on the street was captured by the paparazzi, for three days, all the headlines were reporting on this incident.
After it was revealed that Ke Xiu attended the public hearing, the media began to frantically dig for information about this mysterious nobleman. Although there was no substantive content, it still let the tabloids know that General Ke was single.Who knew that within a few days, a photo of him hugging a mysterious woman on the street was circulated, and the entire newspaper industry was abuzz.
Who is that mysterious woman? Is she a lover with General Ke? Why would the always cautious General Ke behave so intimately with her on the street?
In addition to the media, public discussions are even more heated.As one of the tabloid headlines said, as soon as the photo was released, Ke Xiu’s quickly accumulated fans immediately collapsed. What could be more shocking than falling in love with a golden bachelor, only to have the news that he has a girlfriend break out the next day?
In the light screen of the communicator, the content about this matter on social networks is being refreshed crazily.Ye Xuan browsed through the articles one by one with great interest, and found that there were only three main contents. One was speculating on who she was, the other was firmly refusing to admit that she was Ke Xiu’s girlfriend, and the other was thinking that it was a hype.
There have been hundreds of analytical articles surrounding her identity.In various speculations, Ye Xuan was portrayed as a noble lady living in a boudoir, the fiancée of Ke Xiu’s childhood sweetheart, an ambitious commoner Cinderella, and some even speculated that she was a spy sent by the rebels.It has to be said that human beings have really rich imagination, and Ye Xuan can’t understand how they can derive so many inferences from one photo.
However, these external disturbances have nothing to do with Ye Xuan. She lives in a nursing home with perfect security measures, and the paparazzi cannot trace her at all.Her personal information has already been encrypted by Ke Xiu’s order and cannot be viewed unless she has S-level permissions.It’s not that Ke Xiu thinks Ye Xuan can’t see the light of day, but that the project Ye Xuan is participating in must be 100% confidential.
“Ms. Ye, it’s time for surgery.” The AI voice sounded at this time.
Ye Xuan stood up, put on surgical clothes with the help of the medical robot, and was pushed into the aerobic chamber.The people responsible for the operation are not just doctors, but scientific researchers, and what they want to perform is not a conventional operation, but genetic modification.
“Genetic modification?!” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be shocked when she heard Ke Xiu mention this term. “Haven’t all the research materials on genetic modification been destroyed?”
As early as CE185, as public conflicts continued to escalate, the government had to order the closure of the SCI Research Institute, the only institution that mastered genetic modification technology, and destroyed all research materials.
At this time, Ke Xiu had already returned to the official residence with Ye Xuan. He picked up the black tea and took a sip: “In the face of the public’s rhetoric, of course all the information has been destroyed.”
Well, Ye Xuan understood it as soon as she heard it. It seemed that this was another secret that only those who reached a certain level could know.In fact, there are no more than five people in the entire Nebula Empire who know this secret. As the force behind the development of the SCI Research Institute, the Ke family has the most research information.
“The organ failure caused by the reaction between dahlia and titanium will not only affect adjusters, but also people with adjuster blood.”
After realizing that Ye Xuan’s life experience might not be simple, Ke Xiu immediately began to send people to investigate her more deeply.Ye Xuan is an orphan. Even she herself does not know who her parents are. The name Ye Xuan was given to her by the staff of the welfare institution. She grew up without a father or mother until the age of twenty-one, and she never thought of exploring this matter.She never thought that one day, her life experience would become a factor that might lead to her death.
“Do you remember the expelled heir of the Sutcliff family?” Ke Xiu said lightly, “She is your mother.”
The heiress named Alyssa resolutely betrayed the family for the person she loved, Xia Qing, a shareholder of the Transportation Heavy Industry Group, and became the only pureblood among the nine major families to marry a natural person.But the couple who became the focus at the time did not find happiness. Just a year after they got married, Xia Qing and Alyssa both died in a space accident.
Some public opinion believes that the accident that was deemed an accident was actually man-made. The Sutcliff family has always been conservative and will never allow a rebellious family like Alyssa to survive in the world. Some people also suspect that it was the work of other shareholders of Tongyun Heavy Industry, because not long after the accident, Xia Qing’s huge shares were divided up.
In any case, after a period of sensation, the accident was eventually forgotten, and no one knew that Alyssa did not actually die in the accident.At the last moment, the rescue capsule she was in ejected and was discovered by a space pioneer.The space pioneer rescued the unconscious Alyssa and sent her to the nearest Sanjing Spaceport Hospital.At that time, Alyssa was eight months pregnant.
“Your mother,” Ke Xiu paused, then said in a calm tone, “she died of serious injuries two hours after giving birth to you.” Ye Xuan was registered as an orphan whose father was unknown and her mother died, and was sent to the orphanage.
After hearing this past incident, Ye Xuan didn’t speak for a long time.In fact, it’s not really sad. Although Xia Qing and Alyssa are her parents, they have never met, so there is no relationship.Ye Xuan thought that she might be a little sad and a little regretful.Xia Qing’s body was gone, and Alyssa’s body had been recovered and destroyed by a specialized agency. Even if Ye Xuan wanted to pay homage to them at the famous monument, she had no chance.
The man’s big hand paused in mid-air, then gently landed on the top of Ye Xuan’s hair.He was probably very unaccustomed to such gentle behavior, and his movements of stroking Ye Xuan’s hair were jerky and clumsy.Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh: “Okay, I won’t cry.” She winked at Ke Xiu, “So, what next? I know that the reason why I have organ failure is because my mother is an adjuster, but…” But this has nothing to do with saving her.
“Natural people will not be affected by the dahlia tree.” Ke Xiu explained.In fact, the reason why Ye Xuan is aphrodisiac is because she is a hybrid between a natural person and an adjuster. Although she did not inherit the adjuster’s nearly perfect genes, her body still has the adjuster’s blood flowing through her body.The only way to prevent Ye Xuan’s organs from continuing to fail is to turn her into a 100% natural person.
Ke Xiu did not expect, nor did the researchers who performed the surgery on Ye Xuan, that they would secretly restart the genetic modification project, not to turn natural people into adjusters, but to turn adjusters into natural people.Through a series of surgeries, the adjuster’s genes in Ye Xuan’s body will be completely modified. By then, she will no longer be in danger of death.
Now, Ye Xuan has undergone three surgeries, and she can fully recover in half a year.
When Ke Xiu said there was nothing he couldn’t do in the world, most people would think he was boasting, but Ye Xuan knew that he never said anything he was unsure of.Thinking of the man trying to show a calm and arrogant expression when he said this, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.
You never know what will happen in the next second. This is indeed a truth.She thought she was about to usher in happiness, but in the next second she learned that she was not going to die soon.She thought there was no hope in life, but there was one person who turned the tide for her regardless of the cost.As for whether she had the blood of an ancient noble family or whether she had been deprived of her wealth and status, Ye Xuan really didn’t care.
What does she care about?
It was the man who would take time to see her every day no matter how busy he was.While waiting for him, Ye Xuan could sit down, drink a cup of tea, read gossip, and pass the peaceful and happy time.
“Eh?” Ye Xuan opened the holographic screen and unexpectedly saw Ke Xiu’s figure on the screen.Apparently, he had just finished a meeting at the Lorraine Palace, and reporters were swarming around him.The guards desperately blocked the surging crowd, trying to protect Ke Xiu from the heavy siege.Under normal circumstances, Ke Xiu should have walked over with a straight face and an expressionless face, but when a reporter struggled to reach the microphone in front of him, he suddenly stopped.
“A question,” he said dryly.
The reporter was probably stunned. What did General Ke mean?His Excellency the Duke, who has never taken the initiative to contact the media, is he going to be interviewed?!Fortunately, his companion was very clever and asked loudly: “Sir, is the mysterious woman hugging you in the photo really a natural person as the rumors say?”
Oh, yes, I don’t know if the blind cat met a dead mouse, or someone leaked the news.The rumor that General Ke’s mysterious girlfriend is a natural person is widely known and spreading.As soon as this question was asked, almost everyone present took a breath.It’s okay to spread the word behind his back, but to question a pure-blood noble’s intimate relationship with a natural person in person would even be considered a humiliation by some pure-bloods!
But Ke Xiu’s expression did not change at all. His golden-brown eyes glanced coldly at the reporter who asked the question, and the poor guy immediately shuddered.”Yes.” Just when everyone thought he would be furious, he said concisely.
Wha, what?!
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar at the scene.Not only the reporters, but also other officials who came out of the Lorraine Palace were stunned.”I,” the reporter swallowed and looked at Ke Xiu carefully, “can I ask another question, Your Excellency?”
Ke Xiu didn’t speak, but he didn’t leave either.
“Excuse me,” the reporter pondered over and over again, and finally asked loudly with a solemn and tragic expression, “Is that woman your lover?”
“No.” Ke Xiu replied. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned his head.On the video screen, Ye Xuan looked at the man and spoke coldly.He was always like this. When he said surprising words, his tone was as calm as if he was talking about today’s weather.
“I know what you are concerned about. As we all know, if a pure blood unites with a natural person, it will be regarded as rebellious and expelled from the family. However, in this world, those who are qualified to expel me have either passed away or have not yet appeared. Therefore, I have the right to choose my own partner.” He looked at Ye Xuan – Ye Xuan knew that Ke Xiu was actually looking at the camera, but he didn’t.The reason was that she knew who Ke Xiu was talking about – under the spotlight, and being broadcast simultaneously on hundreds of millions of video screens in the empire, the cold light in his eyes finally changed. Those golden brown eyes were like melted amber, becoming gentler little by little, and his deep voice said, “She is not my lover.” Ke Xiu said –
“She is my wife.”
