StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 117 [117] A miracle has occurred!

Xia Lanling looked away guiltily. Even though he was an emperor, he still felt somewhat guilty for taking Guaibao to their secret sanctuary without informing Guaibao's other beast husbands.

What's more, he even took his pregnant wife and baby for a refreshing aerobic workout!

Mu Xingyue blushed with embarrassment and glared fiercely at Xia Lanling: "I know, I'm hungry. Is the hot pot broth ready?"

She quickly changed the subject, not wanting to continue on this topic that was making her feel awkward.

Bai Haochen quickly stepped forward and said softly to the little female, "Yue'er, it's done. Yun Yelin and I succeeded."

"The commander and the others have finished preparing the ingredients."

"Now we can make hot pot. We've found a replacement tool to meet your requirements."

He looked at the little female with doting eyes, as if she were a precious treasure.

Yun Yelin nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Yue'er, it tastes great."

"When we were stir-frying the seasoning, we almost cried from the spiciness."

He chuckled. As long as the little female still cared about this family, it wouldn't matter if the Emperor took her away for a while.

Mu Xingyue looked at Yun Yelin with a dejected expression, her lips slightly pouting as she muttered in dissatisfaction, "Oh dear, does that mean I'm just going to miss this precious moment when Ah Lin almost shed tears? What a pity!"

As she spoke, she blinked her big, watery eyes, staring at Yun Yelin expectantly.

"And I've also heard about mermaid tears. They're amazing! They're said to turn into crystal-clear, smooth pearls! How wonderful that would be!"

As Mu Xingyue spoke, she became increasingly captivated, her eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity.

At this moment, she looked at Yun Yelin with longing eyes, like a child yearning for a beloved toy. Her utterly disappointed expression was both pitiful and endearing.

Seeing this, Xia Lanling and the other beastmen all turned their reproachful gazes toward Yun Yelin.

They all stared wide-eyed at Yun Yelin, as if he were the villain who had made their beloved little female so unhappy.

Some people were even itching to try, wishing they could rush up and beat Yun Yelin up so that he would shed tears and fulfill Mu Xingyue's little wish.

Seeing the scene before him, Yun Yelin couldn't help but wear a bitter expression. He looked at Mu Xingyue pitifully and said, "Yue'er, it's not entirely impossible, but... could you grant me a small request?"

After he finished speaking, his expectant gaze was fixed on Mu Xingyue, as if she were his whole world.

He hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and continued, "Yue'er, could you use my tears to make a beautiful necklace or bracelet, so I can wear it all the time?"

"That way, even if we're temporarily separated, as long as you see this ornament made from my tears, you'll remember my deep love and longing for you!"

As he spoke, his big, watery eyes blinked repeatedly, making it impossible to refuse his earnest and adorable request.

To everyone's surprise, in order to shed enough tears to satisfy Mu Xingyue's need for making jewelry, this usually incredibly strong and brave man did something astonishing—he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and turned to run towards the kitchen. Not long after, a series of crackling sounds came from the kitchen, and then Yun Yelin rushed out, his face flushed.

It turns out that in order to shed tears as soon as possible, this guy grabbed a handful of chili powder without hesitation and smeared it directly on his jewel-like, ice-blue eyes!
In the next instant, a miracle happened!

With a slight stinging sensation, Yun Yelin's originally clear and bright eyes quickly became moist, and crystal-clear tears slowly slid down his fair cheeks.

Surprisingly, the tears that fell from his eyes were not ordinary colorless liquids, but round pearls that emitted a faint pink glow!
Each one is like a rare gem, shining with captivating brilliance.

Mu Xingyue, who arrived at the scene shortly after, was completely stunned by what she saw!

She stared wide-eyed at Yun Yelin in disbelief, at the pink pearl-like tears that were constantly rolling down his cheeks.

For a moment, she was stunned, completely unsure how to deal with this unexpected situation.

After a long while, when she finally came to her senses, a strong emotion welled up in her heart—surprise, fear, but more than anything, endless heartache for Yun Yelin's deep affection.

Mu Xingyue's eyes widened, and tears welled up in her eyes like a burst dam, the crystal-clear teardrops sliding down her fair cheeks.

Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard to breathe.

Looking at Yun Yelin's icy blue eyes, no longer clear as before, but blood red, she felt extremely heartbroken.

She suddenly opened her arms and hugged Yun Yelin tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Her voice was choked with sobs: "Ah Lin... how could you be so foolish!"

"I was just saying it casually, why did you take it so seriously? Why are you treating yourself like this!"

Yun Yelin leaned quietly against Mu Xingyue's chest, feeling her warm embrace and caring words.

He gently raised his hand, wanting to stroke Mu Xingyue's hair, but the little female was holding his arm too tightly, so he couldn't bear to break free.

Mu Xingyue noticed Yun Yelin's actions. She quickly grabbed his hand, carefully placed it on her face, and whispered, "You must never do this again, do you hear me?"

"Do you know how heartbroken I was when I saw you hurting yourself like this?"

At this point, she couldn't help but sob again.

At this moment, Mu Xingyue was filled with regret and self-blame. If it weren't for her careless words, Yun Yelin wouldn't be in this state now.

She truly hated her own uncontrollable mouth, which had caused such immense pain to the person who loved her so dearly.

"I'm sorry, Ah Lin, it's all my fault... I'll never say anything carelessly again. Please, please don't hurt yourself like this again, okay? And please don't do anything so foolish again."

Mu Xingyue cried as she murmured.
