Ten days later, the Grand Commander once again led his senior team to the Federal Research Institute.
After entering the research institute, they finally saw General Yi, who was no longer running around naked in a leather coat, but instead holding onto a round, transparent spiritual power protective shield like a pervert, unwilling to let go. Occasionally, he would close his eyes and chuckle foolishly, which was quite an eyesore.
The Grand Commander almost couldn't resist the urge to snap a picture of Yi Xiao's current state. Perhaps if everyone saw that their undefeated general looked like this, they would be extremely disappointed and demand his resignation?
Unfortunately, the Night Owl Corps belonged to him, and no one could force him to step down.
Naturally, what Yi Xiao was holding was Ren Zhu, who had successfully entered the spiritual power protective shield. Or we can call it Ren Zhu's will and soul. Anyway, even without a body, General Yi expressed his deep love for his partner, while Ren Zhu felt that apart from feeling a bit weird in the senses, not having to eat every day and being able to satisfy oneself with just the Northwest wind was quite a good experience. When he had a body in the future, he might even write an autobiography titled "The Years I Spent as a Light Ball", which might even beca bestseller.
"General Yi, the ten days are up. Have you made up your mind? We're all waiting for your answer." After ten days of anxious waiting, the Grand Commander didn't want to waste any more time. He needed to get the answer as quickly as possible and make plans accordingly. Even if Yi Xiao didn't agree, he still had to do what he needed to do.
As a result, he heard an answer that he couldn't have imagined.
"No need to point your old wrinkled face at me, I'll go."
The Grand Commander nodded, "I understand you... What did you say?"
Yi Xiao looked at him with a surprisingly good mood, as if he had been forced to eat shit, and suddenly laughed, "I said I'll go. However, I have one condition."
The Grand Commander was truly shocked that Yi Xiao would agree to enter the Abyss Black Hole again. After all, going once was like passing through the gates of hell, something that anyone would instinctively refuse. Not to mention Yi Xiao had already entered the Abyss Black Hole once before, almost unable to return.
The Grand Commander was somewhat stunned, not knowing why Yi Xiao had changed his mind. But this didn't affect his admiration at the moment. It had to be said that among the entire federation, Yi Xiao's journey from being almost abandoned by his family, constantly in danger, to standing at the top of the federation as a man, his bravery was absolutely worthy of the first place. Of course, his emotional intelligence was a bit lacking.
"...Don't worry, as long as your request doesn't involve destroying the federation or killing a lot of people, I will do my best to satisfy you. Even if you want to be the Grand Commander, or control the federation's financial power, I can agree." The Grand Commander exhaled slowly, making a promise: "The heads of the federal families, the senior officials of the federation, and all the people in the research institute behindcan serve as witnesses."
Yi Xiao raised an eyebrow, then rolled his eyes, and pointed at himself with his long and powerful index finger, "Do you think I lack money, power, lackeys, or wives? I have what you have, and what you don't have, I also have. Why would I want your position? Am I stupid? I almost have as many resources as half of the federation on my own star. What do I need financial power for? Don't think so much nonsense all the time, isn't it tiring? I'm just going to announce this in front of the entire federation, and of course, I'll tell them the reason why I'n doing this. Do you agree to this condition?"
Although the Grand Commander was ridiculed by Yi Xiao not to overthink, upon hearing Yi Xiao's condition, which turned out to be just a simple live broadcast, he couldn't help but ponder over various possibilities, even considering all the potential negative outcomes. After pondering over it several times, he cto the conclusion that this request was very simple and wouldn't have any major negative impact.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor a moment, the Grand Commander becindecisive. Sitting in his position, he always tended to overthink things.
After waiting for a few minutes, Yi Xiao becimpatient and looked up at the Grand Commander, mocking, "I told you not to overthink. Why are you still lost in your own thoughts? Are you constantly imagining yourself in a yuri romance with your wife?"
The Grand Commander: "..."
Everyone around, listening in: "..."
Why did General Yi's level of sarcasm seem to reach a new height in just a few days?! If he continued like this, would anyone in the federation be able to control him?! Was he going to break through the dimensional barrier of the universe?!
Suppressing the urge to curse, the Grand Commander took a deep breath and nodded, "This request is indeed reasonable, I agree. When do you decide to start? Do we need to make any preparations?"
General Yi waved his hand, "I'm not as indecisive as you guys. You can notify the responsible persons of the Star Network and the Federation News now, and have them set up all the communication lines across the federation. When my little brother bringsmy military uniform, I'll be ready to go."
The Grand Commander felt a sense of frustration in his heart, "Integrating satellite lines will take at least a few hours."
Yi Xiao waved his hand dismissively, "It's okay, I can wait. Anyway, your efficiency is like this. What can I do? Kill those people? No, so let's just wait. Huh, I have to say, Grand Commander, guys like you who lack ability but always occupy positions would probably have been beaten to a pulp if they were in my corps. So you see, the difference between corps is like this, right? We all rise to the top based on our abilities, but you guys, hehe, it's not necessarily the case."
The Grand Commander didn't want to speak anymore at this point. He gestured to his secretary behind him to contact the Star Network and the Federation News Network. After giving the orders, he went to the lounge to rest. He could completely believe that if he continued to stay here, he might be driven crazy by the person in front of him.
After they all left, Yi Xiao couldn't help but complain to his partner, "Ah Zhu, did you see that? The Grand Commander and them are like night and day compared to me. I even worry for the Grand Commander's wife. Having to face that late-night talker every day, won't she becdepressed?" Then, he exclaimed, "Wait a minute, the Grand Commander has a wife and child, right? Ah! What a scumbag! He can abandon his life for his bros, yet he still gets married and has children?! Ah Zhu, I'm still the best for you, right? I've already cut off all my descendants for you."
Ren Zhu, who had been forced to listen to his complaints and soliloquies from morning till night, sighed deeply. He really wanted to find someone to shut Yi Xiao's mouth, whatever it took. God knew how clingy and talkative he had beclately. Although he could understand this kind of affection, as a light ball who couldn't go anywhere, he was almost depressed by this guy's constant chatter. He urgently needed a body.
"Has Dean Wang completed the research on the body?" Ren Zhu asked, "Tell her, even if she givesa robotic body, I'll move in directly. Don't worry, my willpower is strong enough. I can definitely live to a ripe old age."
Yi Xiao rambled for a while, then sternly refused, "No, darling, you have to think about our happiness. If you were a robot, how would you experience the pleasure of intimacy? We must have a human-made person! Oh, we can actually clone a mindless person with my cells, but in that case, we would be harming ourselves. Let's go for a perfect humanoid. The federation still has this technology."
Ren Zhu: "..." Heh.
Half an hour later, Zack and Wen Quan rushed over, bringing Yi Xiao's uniform with them.
Ren Zhu stayed inside the spiritual barrier, feeling the aura of Yi Xiao after putting on the military uniform. He couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, military attire was the most dignified clothing. An ordinary person would becseveral degrees more handsafter putting on a military uniform, and Yi Xiao, who already had high looks, beceven more stunning after wearing his uniform. It was truly magical that even as a mere consciousness, he could still "see" Yi Xiao's appearance.
General Yi put on his clothes and immediately lifted his partner, repeatedly asking if he looked handsome. Ren Zhu reluctantly gave him a compliment, saying he looked outrageously handsome, which made Yi Xiao happy for hours. He was still laughing when the Grand Commander approached and informed him that all the lines and satellites had been debugged. During his speech, everyone in the entire federation could directly see his broadcast. Moreover, the broadcast would begin at noon, and the entire federation would start broadcasting.
Yi Xiao glanced at his watch, which showed 11:50, and nodded, "Where are the cameras?"
The Grand Commander gritted his teeth and had his secretary bring out the Federation News exclusive broadcaster and placed it in front of Yi Xiao.
As General Yi reached out to open the broadcaster, he couldn't help but remind him, "You should pay attention to your image. After all, you are an idol to most people in the federation. If possible, it's best not to disappoint them."
General Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course, I never disappoint my buddies." With that, he opened the exclusive broadcaster.
At noon, people across the entire federation were bewildered to find that no matter what they were doing-whether browsing the Star Network, playing games, watching videos, or reading news-all channels and networks were forcibly switched to a single screen. They saw the Federation's 11th General, and the youngest and fiercest general in Federation history, Yi Xiao, sitting in the laser screen, holding a glowing orb.
"What's going on?"
"Is this a live broadcast? Is General Yi going to say something?"
"Wow, General Yi is so handsome! I can't close my legs because of his handsomeness."
"I'm about to rank up to Platinum. Why forceto watch this?!"
"Is something big going to happen?"
The reactions of the people in the federation varied.
Meanwhile, Yi Xiao first saluted everyone and then began his speech, which was dubbed the "most shameless yet most moving speech in Federation history."
"Hello, everyone. I am Yi Xiao. I know I'm so handsthat you can't close your legs, but I've already set my heart on someone. So, give up."
"I'm here to tell you snews. I've decided to make another trip to the Abyss Black Hole, and this time, I'll destroy it no matter what."
"Oh, I think I heard cheers."
"However, you can stop, because I'm not doing this for you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"On the contrary, I actually think it wouldn't be bad for you to die. People, after all, have to die. If destiny is like this, why struggle?"
"Ah, maybe you want to curseout now, thinking I'm selfish, shameless, and arrogant. But what does it matter? Are your words, thoughts, opinions, and feelings related to me?"
"They're not."
"So, why should I sacrifice myself to save you?"
"At this point, you might say I'm heartless."
"But, letask you in return."
"Who among you would lose sleepless nights over my injuries? Who would tremble all day because of my madness? Who would be melancholic for my death, even followto the grave? Who would defy the entire federation for my sake?"
"No one."
"So, you see, when my sacrifice is only inevitable in your minds, and in speople's hearts, it won't even receive a word of thanks, why should I die for your sake? Do you all think I'm as foolish as my father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and so on?"
"Don't be foolish, how could that be possible?"
"I'd rather perish with you fools than sacrifice myself to save the entire federation."
"Whoever wants to be a savior, let them be. I certainly won't."
"When you expect heroes to save the world, you should also consider what the heroes think. Using an ancient Earth saying, it's 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' Understand?"
"Now, you're probably going to doubt or mock me, asking why, if I'm so insane, did I agree?"
Yi Xiao's expression on the screen suddenly softened immensely as he cradled the glowing orb in his palm, showing it to the entire federation.
"Look, because of him."
"I want to give him a vibrant world. So, I agreed to save you as a side effect."
"You might wonder why his face is so big?"
"That's because he can do everything I just asked for. Not for any other reason, just because of me, simply me."
"So, you should really thank my partner. I think each of you owes him a red packet."
"Finally, starting tomorrow, you can watchdestroy the black hole with your own eyes. This Sword of Damocles has been hanging over the Yi family for a thousand years. It ends with me."
