Chapter 103: Returning Home

    Yang Yang enjoyed Archibald’s care very much, but this enjoyment only lasted for one day, before started Yang Yang feeling that his whole being was not right.

    The physical inconvenience and pain were secondary, they were nothing compared to what he had suffered before. ——the worst thing, it was too boring.

    Since coming to this world, Yang Yang seemed like he wanted to make up for the shortcomings of his previous life, releasing his natural moths. Sitting still like today, being served drink and food on silver plate like in retirement, really made his bones itchy.

    Especially when he thought that there were still seven more days like this, Yang Yang felt that seams of his bones were becoming even more itchy.

    So on the third morning after giving birth, Yang Yang found something for himself to do—baby posting, or rather, egg posting.

    Archibald just went to pick up breakfast, and when he came back, he saw his golden-pattern on white egg cub become a colorful Easter egg.

    Yang Yang was still showing off to him: “Come on, Duke, look, isn’t it good-looking? Isn’t it particularly artistic?”

    Archibald: “…”

    Archibald took a breath: “Where did the paint come from?”

    Yang Yang: “Monta gave it before. Didn’t he go to the next town to participate in the carnival during the tourist season and brought us a lot of specialties? This is one of them and luckily I brought it with me.

    — —Don’t worry, the paint is specially used for egg painting, it is non-toxic and harmless.”

    After Yang Yang finished speaking, he moved the egg in another direction and then called Archibald: “Come on, let’s take a family portrait.”

    Archibald: “…”

    Archibald finally took a picture. He and Yang Yang put their hands on the colorful “eggs” and compared them to a heart shape, and then asked Yang Yang to post on Weibo. .

    @Soul Pierces Through Your Heart：Hello everyone, am I beautiful~[Picture]

    However, the netizens were not impressed by the beauty and instead became worried.

    【I don’t know what everyone is thinking, but I have a bad premonition… 】

    【It’s over, it’s over, I’m very worried about cub’s future aesthetics. 】

    【I am reminded of the fear of being dominated by the Duchess’s selfie. Shudder. 】

    【Imagine, more than ten years later, a cub with similar facial features to the Duke, with colorful hair, dominates the battlefield and speaks while standing in the Empire State Building. 】

    【………】

    【Shut up upstairs! ! 】

    Yang Yang looked at the comments and was unresigned: “How is it not good-looking? Very festive!”

    Archibald: “…”

    As long as you are happy.

    Archibald accompanied Yang Yang for a while, then remembered something, and asked Yang Yang: “Didn’t you say you wanted to start your own business? The Butler Yang’s account and the brand you mentioned earlier, why don’t you do it now?”

    Yang Yang glanced at Archibald: “The most important thing is to tease you now.”

    Archibald: “…???”

    Yang Yang smiled and tilted his head to look at Archibald, with a gentle and serious expression: “Now you are my career— I think the soul power in the Soul Cube must be related to your illness, so your health is my most important career now.”

    Archibald was startled for a moment and then a hot current surged in his heart. The comfort of honest care made the corners of his mouth curl up unconsciously.

    However, Archibald still felt shy and embarrassed to respond directly to this enthusiastic “confession”. ——Just like he would only call Yang Yang softly after he fell asleep.

    In Archibald’s perception, this kind of thing was quite private and needed a more suitable time and place— such as night, such as bed.

    So now Archibald just said “oh”, then curved his mouth and bowed his head to eat, his tail swayed slightly behind him, in a happy and comfortable rhythm.

    He took a glance and was amused.

    Yang Yang knew Archibald well, so he didn’t feel that his reaction was cold, but looked at the tip of Archibald’s tail with relish.

    After watching for a few seconds, Yang Yang suddenly let out another “ah”, then flipped his palm and summoned Bean Sprout from the Soul Cube.

    Archibald froze for a moment. ——In the village before, when Yang Yang confessed to him, he focused on the soul power and did not take out Bean Sprout.

    So, this was the first time Archibald had seen Bean Sprout.

    As well as the first time Bean Sprout saw Archibald. Unlike Roth, who could freely observe the outside world and also had a mobile terminal to surf the internet, its information lags behind. Because it was ignorant about the outside world, the moment it faced the “stranger”, Bean Sprout’s desire to survive was extremely strong, it instantly plopped to the ground, pretending to be a dead branch with dedication.

    Yang Yang: “…”

    Archibald: “…”

    Yang Yang flicked the branch of Bean Sprout and said speechlessly, “What are you doing?

    Bean Sprout hesitated for a moment, opened its eyes slowly, then let out a doubtful “ji”. ——what’s the situation?

    As soon as it made a sound, Archibald froze— it could talk?

    Archibald knew of sentient soul essence plants, but he had never seen them. And he also knew that soul plants with self-awareness belonged in myths and soul plants that could talk to people and think could only live in works of art.

    But this one was clearly real.

    Although Archibald was surprised, his face remained calm. After glancing at Bean Sprout, he continued to eat his breakfast.

    Yang Yang introduced Archibald to Bean Sprouts: “This is the Duke of Donton, my legal spouse. —Get up, we have something to do.”

    Bean Sprouts knew its master’s spouse, so it also relaxed slowly and then Get up and look at Yang Yang: “ji?”

    What’s the matter?

    Yang Yang pointed to Archibald: “Take a bite.”

    Bean Sprout: “…”

    Archibald: “???”

    Archibald didn’t know why, but Bean Sprout was nervous: 【Are you sure he won’t hit me? 】

    Although it has been fattened up in the Soul Cube and has grown a centimeter taller, it was still very fragile!

    Yang Yang: “…”

    Yang Yang rolled his eyes, ignored Bean Sprout and turned his head to explain to Archibald: “I told you before that I tested your soul power with the help of Bean Sprouts. In fact, I not only tested it, but I also had been recording your soul power during that test.”

    Yang Yang took out the marshmallow observation diary and shook it in front of Archibald’s eyes: “Remember this?”

    Archibald took a look and recognised it: “Remember. —Why marshmallow?”

    Yang Yang smiled: “Your soul power really resembles it.——Let’s get to business, after the child’s conjunctival period had passed, I couldn’t record your soul power. Now that you also know my back story, you can feed Bean Sprouts some soul power every day and I will continue to record.”

    After speaking, Yang Yang turned back, stared at Bean Sprouts and showed a smile: “If you bite him or harm him, I will break your little beans.”

    Bean Sprout: “…”

    Bean Sprout once again confirmed that it had indeed entered a den of thieves.

    In order to keep its little bean, Bean Sprout carefully took away a bit of Archibald’s soul power step by step, and kept staring at Archibald during the process, for fear that he might frown.

    Fortunately, this Duke was more reliable and his face was expressionless throughout the whole process.

    However, in the process, Bean Sprout’s facial features were becoming more and more wrinkled, its face was originally abstract, but now its facial features were almost unrecognisable.

    After finally eating the soul power, Bean Sprout quickly produced a golden fruit on the top of the head at the speed of blowing a balloon, and after “pooh-ing” two mouthfuls, it turned to complain to Yang Yang: “Jiii ji ji!”

    Your man’s soul power is too unpalatable, it’s poisonous!

    Yang Yang automatically filtered the wording of Bean Sprout and asked in confusion, “The taste is different?”

    Bean Sprouts calmed down, thought for a while, and explained: “Ji.”

    It’s very similar to your ball, but your ball is much gentler, more inclined to the soul power in the Soul Cube. But the unknown strange smell in your man’s soul power is much stronger, like the bone marrow of a soul corpse!

    Yang Yang: “…”

    What kinds of thing have you eaten before? ?

    However, Yang Yang had some guesses about the difference in taste— it should be that after the fluorescent ball had eaten up the soul power it entered the soul cube. The Soul Cube has the ability to purify, so although there was a layer between the fluorescent ball and Bean Sprout, it would still purify some of Archibald’s soul power.

    Of course, this still needed verification.

     Yang Yang thought for a while, after picking off the golden fruit on the top of the bean sprouts, he picked up Bean Sprout and threw itback into the Soul Cube, “It’s nothing to do with you.”

    He was ruthless like a scumbag straight from a novel.

     Then Yang Yang took out the tester and began to test Archibald’s soul power.

     As soon as Archibald finished his breakfast, the test results came out.

     Archibald pushed the dining car aside, and looked closer: “What’s the result?”

     Yang Yang: “Roth analyzed the waveform graph and the abnormal wavelength in your soul power, where it overlaps with the soul power of the soul beast, become much stronger.—Are you about to get sick?”

     Archibald frowned slightly: “Most likely not. Now the time of getting sick is once a quarter and it’s been less than two months since the last time, so it shouldn’t come so quickly.

     But now that I have changed to the new medicine given by Uncle Ya Qing, there’s a certain possibility. ——Many times, in the first cycle of the new medicine, there were some abnormalities.

     But don’t worry, I will realise before the soul power riot. If I feel something is wrong, I will deal with it immediately.”

     Yang Yang nodded and put the matter aside for the time being.

    In any case, he saw Archibald every day. He remembered that before Archibald fell ill last time, he saw the black soul power on Archibald’s body, which was also a sign of impeding attack.

    After a few days of testing, Yang Yang became gradually relieved. It seemed that this difference was caused by the fluorescent ball bringing the soul power back into the soul cube.

    In this way, Yang Yang’s days have passed, baby pictures, recording Archibald’s soul power, Kami being his little tail and Roth broadcasting interesting stories about the bear children in the winter camp.

    Seven days passed in the blink of an eye and it was time to go home.

    After seven days, Yang Yang’s wound healed a lot, but it was still not fully healed. Archibald insisted strongly when the aircraft landed, that he had to carry Yang Yang down the aircraft.

    Yang Yang resisted a little: “Just let me down and take it easy, how embarrassing it is to carry me out like this!”

    With these children around, Yang Yang always felt that his prestige as an adult had been destroyed.

    Archibald wrapped Yang Yang with a thick cloak and then hooked it over Yang Yang’s head with his tail to cover him thoroughly.

    “That will be enough. ——Injury is slow to recover in this season, you should rest more.”

    Archibald’s voice was serious, full of worry.

    After hearing this, Yang Yang could only compromise. He thought of hiding like an ostrich, they couldn’t see his face anyway.

    But what Yang Yang didn’t expect was that even if they were just returning from the garrison base, there were still a few hundred people waiting for them. Including parents, the media, and people who came to eat melons.

    So the scene of Archibald carrying the beauty back home* immediately made headlines.

    Are you interstellar people really so idle? ?
