After turning into a rare female, she refused the bosses' exclusive favor
Chapter 135 Illegitimate Son
Pushik leaned on the sofa, and Snow, who was sitting opposite him, felt a little uneasy.
But the atmosphere in the room was inexplicably awkward, simply because Reinhardt and Dirk Frey were also there.
Reinhardt sat next to Pushik and poured her tea and water.
Dirk Frey was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, staring at Snow across from him.
Pu Xike didn't know what the two were going to do, so he said, "Aren't you going to talk about business? Why are you still here?"
"Since His Highness Frey was unwilling to go to the study with me to discuss the matter, I had no choice but to stay and chat with you, Xier, and Master Snow for a while." Reinhardt smiled and directly put the blame on Dirk Frey.
Dirk Frey was stunned when he was named. He glared at Reinhardt and then said stubbornly, "Why? It's my freedom to talk wherever I want. What's it to you?"
"up to you."
Pushik was very calm. He didn't even glance at Dirk Frey and simply ignored the man's tantrum-like attitude.
"■!" Dirk Frey swore.
Faced with Pushik's indifference, he felt inexplicably unhappy.
It is said that males know males best. Even though the three men have very different personalities, the other two men could see the jealousy in Dirk Frey's eyes at a glance.
However, the two of them tacitly agreed to let Dirk Frey sulk alone. After all, in a sense, the three of them were in a competitive relationship.
"Xi'er, have some tea."
Reinhardt held the cup and saucer with both hands just to serve tea to Pushik. He didn't expect that the imperial marshal would be so attentive.
"Thank you!" Pu Xike took the tea and took a sip.
As the warm water goes down your throat, the tea aroma slowly spreads in your mouth, filling your entire mouth. The mellow and warm taste lingers on your tongue, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
Pu Xike's eyes lit up and he praised generously: "This tea is very good!"
"I'm glad you like it." Snow smiled brightly, his words were sincere and mixed with a barely perceptible shyness.
"If you need, you can take some tea back. I will teach you how to make tea..."
Just when Snow was feeling lucky to have struck up a conversation with Pushik, he was politely rejected by the other party, "No need! Let's talk about something serious."
Seeing that Pushik was deliberately distancing himself, a trace of loneliness flashed in Snow's eyes. The temperature around them seemed to drop by several degrees, and there was even an inexplicable cold wind blowing in the house.
"What's going on! Who turned on the air conditioner?" Dirk Frey complained.
Pushik had already noticed that the strange changes in the house were caused by Snow.
It seems that he is not good at controlling his abilities. Even though he has cured his Madness, he is still affected by his emotions and subconsciously releases them.
Looking at the thin layer of ice appearing on the tea in the cup, Pu Xike sighed, put down the teacup, and directly released his mental power.
The three people in the hall felt at the same time that Pushik's powerful mental power was soothing the emotions of everyone in the room, instantly calming their mood.
The temperature in the room warmed up and the cold wind stopped. Snow said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Angel. I lost my composure just now..."
"No problem!" Pu Xike picked up the teacup again and took a sip.
The cold tea had a bitter taste, just like Snow's mood just now.
"Xier, why don't I make another pot?" Reinhardt suggested.
Pu Xike shook his head. "Forget it. I'm not here for afternoon tea. It's not that complicated."
After saying that, Pushik looked at Snow again, with a serious look in his eyes.
"Although I have cured you of your madness, your abilities will still be affected by your emotions. If you don't want to cause trouble to the people around you, try to control your own strength!"
"I'm sorry..." Snow lowered his head like a scolded puppy, feeling very depressed.
Pushik then continued, "So, now that we have had our tea, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Snow rubbed his hands hesitantly. After a long while, he spoke carefully: "Um, um, does the angel accept believers? I want to follow you... is it okay?"
"Oh? So you want to curry favor with someone powerful enough! Unfortunately, you've found the wrong person. I don't accept younger brothers." Pu Xike raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's not like that..." Snow hurriedly explained, "I, I really admire you, so I want to be your follower, even if I can only be your "mount"!"
When the last sentence came out of his mouth, the other person's face almost turned red.
"Mount?" Pushik asked in confusion.
When an orc proposes to become someone's "mount", it is equivalent to giving up his identity and value as a "human" and following someone wholeheartedly.
Reinhardt didn't expect that the man in front of him would be so aware. He actually underestimated him.
And Deke Frey said disdainfully: "After all, you have the blood of the five great dragon kings, and you actually want to become someone else's "mount". Where is your pride as a dragon?"
"None of that matters to me anymore. The glory of the Blitzer family has nothing to do with me..." Snow looked exhausted, as if he was disappointed with his family.
Reinhardt couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Snow, what happened to you at Blitzer's house? And why were you locked up in the sanatorium?"
"I... am actually the illegitimate son of Duke Blitzer."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into deathly silence.
In fact, some people had long suspected that Snow Blitzer's bloodline was not pure, simply because he did not have the golden eyes that symbolized his identity as a descendant of the five dragon kings.
Although Snow's beast form is still a frost dragon, he cannot control his own power and always inevitably brings trouble to those around him.
Especially after he became an adult, when his out-of-control value was detected to be too high, his family abandoned him without hesitation and threw him into a nursing home to fend for himself.
"So, it was Duke Blitzer who cheated on his wife and had a secret affair with someone else, so he had you..." Dirk Frey spoke without thinking and was hit in the abdomen by Pushik's elbow.
"Well!"
The man held his stomach in pain, cursing the other party in his heart for being so harsh.
Snow explained: "My biological mother met my father... Duke Blitzer in the outskirts of the Draco galaxy, and I was born there."
Reinhardt frowned and said in a serious tone: "But I remember that Duke Blitzer was already married in the imperial capital at that time, but he was busy with the war in the border star region, so he went to the battlefield on the second day of his wedding."
"Yes, I only found out later that I was not the Duchess's child," Snow said sadly.
"Then your biological mother..." Pushik started tentatively.
"I don't have any impression of my biological mother. Because the medical conditions in the border star region are not very good, it is said that she died after giving birth to me."
"And Duke Blitzer brought me back to the empire when I was still an infant, and gave me to the Duchess to raise."
There was a look of indifference in Snow's eyes, and it was obvious that he was a stranger to his biological mother.
Dirk Frey raised his lips and said sarcastically, "This Duke Blitzer is really good at playing tricks. He even dared to cheat on his wife. With such a big green hat on her head, does the Duchess really not care at all?"
"It would be a lie to say that I don't mind, but this is a political marriage after all, so there isn't much affection between the two of them," Snow said calmly.
"So, throwing you into a nursing home was also the Duchess's arrangement?" Reinhardt asked.
Snow nodded slightly. "Although the Duchess doesn't like me very much, at least she didn't abandon me somewhere else and let me fend for myself. She has done her utmost."
After hearing what Snow said, Pushik actually thought that the Duchess was quite nice! She was generous enough to do this for her illegitimate son.
"What about Duke Blitzer? Didn't he say anything?" Pushik was very curious about what role Snow's father, Duke Blitzer, played in this.
Reinhardt explained, "Xi'er, you may not know this yet. Duke Blitzer has spent his entire life guarding the border star regions and rarely appears in the imperial capital."
"So, just throw the illegitimate child to the original wife to raise! This man is really awesome!"
Pushik complained in his heart and looked at Snow with a bit of sympathy.
"So, now I have nowhere to go, and I only ask that you allow me to follow you, even if it's just to be your 'mount'..." Snow was quite scheming. He saw that Pushik was soft-hearted, and he pleaded with him again at this time.
The man's silver eyes were filled with sincerity and admiration, and coupled with his handsome face, any female who saw him would be fascinated by this face and would want to open her heart to him.
But one thing is for sure, Pu Xike will not agree to the other party's request just because of his excessive sympathy.
"Sorry! I don't need you to follow me, and I don't need any mount." Pu Xike refused decisively.
Seeing that playing the victim didn't work, Snow was heartbroken once again, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.
What followed was a sudden drop in indoor temperature. Not only was there a cold wind blowing inside the house, but it even started snowing.
Snow Blitzer once again failed to control his emotions, allowing his power to leak out, causing trouble for those around him.
After a moment, Pushik brushed off the snow on her shoulders and once again used her mental power to calm the other person's emotions, which was much more troublesome than treating "mania".
But seeing Snow's aggrieved look, he wanted to blame him, but couldn't say anything.
"My head hurts~"
Pu Xike was wailing in his heart, feeling overwhelmed.
"You can't even control your own strength, and you say you want to follow me. Are you planning to cause trouble for me in the future?" Pu Xike leaned back on the sofa and said frankly.
But seeing that Snow's eyes were slightly red, he felt a little bit reluctant, but his attitude remained firm.
"Ahem... Anyway, I don't need any followers. You'd better give up this idea."
Snow lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "If I can control my power, will the angel agree to let me follow you?"
"This person really is persistent..."
Pu Shik knew that Snow was unable to suppress the leakage of power because the Dragon King bloodline in his body was impure. This was not a congenital defect that could be made up for by hard work alone.
"To be honest, I don't want to hit you. But even if you can control your power, I don't necessarily need you to follow me."
Pu Xike never likes to drag things out. Instead of letting the other party have expectations, it is better to make things clear from the beginning.
"I just left a 'brand' on you to prevent you from causing trouble to others again due to your mood swings. If there is nothing else, I would like to..."
Pushik looked at the other two men and gestured, "You can talk about business now."
After the two men came back to their senses, Reinhardt asked Dirk Frey, "Your Highness asked me to discuss something important, so what is it?"
"I know you've been busy gathering information about the resistance these days, and I've also collected some useful intelligence."
Dirk Frey turned on his optical computer and displayed the information he had collected during this period, with a smug look on his face.
"All of these people have had connections with the rebels, from the top brass of the House of Representatives to the fallen nobles. They are truly omnipresent!"
After saying this, Dirk Frey's eyes became slightly sharper, and his tone changed from the previous lazy and casual one.
Reinhardt flipped through the information of these people, frowning. "The relationship here is complicated. If we arrest them hastily, it may affect the entire group. We need to think about this matter carefully..."
"By the way, let me show you something more interesting. This pretty boy happens to be here too." Dirk Frey picked out a person's information from a pile of people's files and projected it onto the light screen.
"Duke Blitzer?!" Reinhardt said in surprise.
"Huh~ You didn't expect that! Duke Blitzer, known as the 'Ice Wall of the Empire', would actually collude with the rebels." After saying that, Dirk Frey looked at Snow proudly.
But the other party's performance was too calm, which surprised Dirk Frey. He couldn't help but ask, "Hey! We are talking about your father colluding with the rebels. Why don't you react at all?"
"How do you think I should react, Your Highness?" Snow said with a wry smile.
"Tsk!" Dirk Frey smacked his lips, finding the other party boring.
Snow then spoke quietly, "In fact, before I entered the sanatorium, I had already vaguely sensed my father's... Duke Blitzer's plan, but I didn't expect that he would collude with the remnants of the resistance army."
"I don't understand. Duke Blitzer has always been loyal to the empire. Why would he do such a treasonous thing!" Reinhardt was filled with indignation, but his eyes revealed regret for Duke Blitzer.
Snow on the side lowered his head, rubbed his fingers, and murmured: "Yeah, why would that man do such a thing..."
Pu Xike heard from Snow's words that he seemed to know something, but she did not ask.
Instead, it was Dirk Frey who spoke first: "What else could he be after? It's nothing more than two things, power and status."
Dirk Frey seemed to be used to this, and even said a few sarcastic words, "'Imperial Ice Wall'? It's a nice name, but who would be willing to guard that remote star region for years? Duke Blitzer is not a fool, doesn't he have other ideas?"
After what Dirk Frey said, it made sense, but Reinhardt still felt that there was something else going on.
"Duke Blitzer, he has guarded the border star region for half his life, how could he betray the empire at this time..." Reinhardt murmured.
Pu Shik is not interested in the internal affairs of the empire. After all, she only needs to assist the special search team to lure out the rebels and catch them all in one fell swoop before she can retire.
As for other things, it was none of his business. Pushik didn't want to be involved in any strange disputes. He had already done his best by helping Reinhardt and the others deal with the rebels.
After repaying this favor, Pushik prepared to set off for the Interstellar Federation to look for clues about "Blue Planet".
