Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 126: Temptation.

Grace returned two days earlier than Lu Xia expected. When she saw her at the gate after get off work, she thought she was hallucinating until a man in a military uniform walked towards her: "Xia Xia, I'm back."

He was still wearing his uniform, obviously he had just returned and hadn't had time to change before he ran over to pick her up.

Lu Xia looked at the man with a smile. He had been out for more than a week and he looked fine. He hadn't lost weight and his complexion was not bad.

My heart settled down, and I went forward to hug Grace: "Welcome home."

The moment she was hugged, Grace felt a warm current in her heart, with a smile in her eyes, and hugged the little female in her arms tightly.

"Did everything go smoothly this time? Would you mind telling me about it?"

"Well, it went pretty smoothly. A cocoon unexpectedly appeared on Planet A11, and those Zerg were heading for it. However, it's the Zerg's resting period now, so they won't be very strong, so it won't be difficult to deal with them."

Lu Xia listened carefully, nodded, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No, thanks to the Fire Spirit Gene Extract Xia Xia gave me, I won a great victory at a very small cost."

"That's good!" After hearing Grace's words, Lu Xia was completely relieved.

But Grace silently said sorry in her heart.

He didn't want to lie to Lu Xia, but it was obviously not a good thing to let Lu Xia know about what happened on Planet A11 now. He still needed to confirm Her Majesty the Queen's attitude. Moreover, he couldn't let Lu Xia be implicated in what he was going to do later.

"By the way, Grace, you may not know this, but not long after you left, Her Majesty the Queen gave you a reward. It's a medal of honor."

"I know."

"You know?" Lu Xia was a little surprised. After all, she had never told Grace about this matter before, and Grace was not on the Imperial Star, so how did she know?

"Because I have always been paying attention to you, Xia Xia, so no matter where I am, I will know everything about you."

Lu Xia was delighted by this: "Well, I was able to receive the Medal of Merit this time thanks to you, Grace."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"I feel like Her Majesty the Queen is considering awarding me this medal because of your performance on Planet A11. Otherwise, why didn't she give it to me long ago?"

Grace didn't think that this was given to Lu Xia for his sake. After all, his face as a male was worthless to Her Majesty the Queen.

Only if Lu Xia thinks he is good will she feel that she has a relationship with him.

When they got home, Smelian and Cecil were already there. Seeing Grace come back, Smelian greeted her naturally, and Cecil also waved.

Grace nodded to the two of them and followed Lu Xia upstairs.

Cecil stood by and looked at Smellian: "What are you still looking at? He's back, and there's no place for you in Duke Luxia's place."

Smellian looked back at him and said, "You're such a bitch."

"..." Cecil looked at Smellian, who had already turned and left, with an expression of disbelief. He turned his head and asked the old butler who was passing by, "I'm a chatterbox, and I'm still a chatterbox?"

The old housekeeper glanced at him and said, "You are so talkative."

Cecil immediately felt better. "I'm just saying, I'm an introvert and don't talk much, so why am I still a chatterbox?"

"You just talk too much." The old butler said this and turned away.

Cecil, who had just been comforted by the old butler, was shocked when he heard this: "...Oh, you really don't understand me at all!"

He is so quiet that sometimes he doesn’t even talk at home! The prejudice in people’s hearts is really like a mountain!
They don't understand him at all, huh!

The next morning, Grace left home and went straight to the palace to meet Her Majesty the Queen.

This was the notice he received on his way back.

At this moment, he stood in front of Her Majesty the Queen, with his eyes slightly lowered, looking respectful and obedient. Her Majesty the Queen silently looked at him.

She said to him, "I heard that you were a 'defective' male before, and you only changed after following Duke Lu Xia?"

"It's just a coincidence. I was injured before, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, activating the beast gene in my body."

"In other words, you didn't become a gene fusionist after using the gene fusion agent developed by Duke Lu Xia, right?"

"That's it."

"Then you are really lucky. But doesn't this mean that the gene fusion preparation developed by Duke Lu Xia may not be that effective?"

“It’s just a matter of increasing some probability.”

"Okay, I see. You performed well on Planet A11 this time. Is there anything you want to say?"

Grace knew very well that this was the main purpose of Her Majesty the Queen summoning him today.

"It's just a routine support mission. I don't have anything to say."

"Oh, I don't believe you went there and found nothing, Grace, I have a very good impression of your mistress, including me.

I have a very good impression of you. I know that you are both pillars of the empire. I value your talents, but I also need your loyalty."

Grace knelt on one knee and said, "Grace has never mentioned the events on Planet A11 to anyone, and I will never question Her Majesty's decision. You must have your reasons for doing this, and Grace will not speculate too much. Please understand."

Her Majesty was quite satisfied with Grace's performance so far, and her tone softened again: "You didn't even tell Duke Lu Xia?"

"Without Her Majesty the Queen's permission, what happened during the mission was kept confidential, and Grace dared not publicize it."

"Well, you did the right thing. Don't let Duke Lu Xia know about this. She's a kind person and would probably be upset if she knew. You did a good job this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"This is my duty, and I dare not ask for a reward."

"Then I'll double your merits so you can be promoted faster, Grace. I know Admiral Snoop is interested in cultivating you. If you work hard, the First Military District will be yours in the future."

Grace knew very well that Her Majesty the Queen was using these things to win him over.

Grace bowed respectfully and did not refuse.

After leaving the palace, Grace went straight back to the First Military District, where Admiral Snoop was already waiting for him.

Seeing him come back, she immediately went to greet him with a smile: "Are you going to see Her Majesty the Queen?"

Grace did not report to the First Military District immediately in the morning, and Admiral Snopes could not help but ask the reason.

When Admiral Snoop learned that Grace had been summoned by Her Majesty the Queen, he thought it must be a good thing. Therefore, without waiting for Grace to answer, he asked, "Did you get the reward?"

"I performed well on this mission, and my merits are doubled."

"That's not bad. Your contribution this time is not low. This way, you are not far from the rank of lieutenant general!" Admiral Snop smiled and patted Grace's shoulder. He was really happy for him.
