Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Gene saluted, said "yes" and went out.

Lu Xiu was wondering about the motive behind Dana's handing him the message at this time. Why would a duke be with an elementary school student? Why did he call Gene in the middle of the night? There was such an important discovery of mirror element fission in the Alf star field, so why didn't he just print the Byron family's official seal on the official letter to himself?

Everything during the war would make Lu Xiu think a lot. Maybe Dana was trying to get him a foothold, or maybe he was colluding with the Alf Star Region. It was hard to say. He still had to understand why Dana did this.

Before going to bed at night, Lu Xiu suddenly asked Gene: "Is it daytime now, Austin?"

Gene was stunned for a moment, "Yes, it's about seven in the morning in Auston now."

"Well, give me Ning Hua's contact number."

Jinn felt as if he was hallucinating, and asked again: "Your Highness, are you saying that you want Miss Ning Hua's contact number?"

Lu Xiu glanced at Jin En without saying anything. Jin En immediately took out his communicator and reported Ning Hua's number: "Ms. Ning Hua's number is."

Lu Xiu entered the number into the communicator and told Gene calmly, "Go out."

Gene guessed Lu Xiu's intention: "Your Highness must be worried about the appearance of a duke by Miss Ning Hua's side, and wants to consolidate his position. But it doesn't make sense that Your Highness doesn't know Miss Ning Hua's number, and he actually comes to ask me. It's really strange, how do they usually contact each other..." Gene thought as he closed the door for the commander.

Austin's work schedule is about 8 o'clock. The elementary school may start a little later, between 8 and 9 o'clock. It is now 7 o'clock in the morning. Lu Xiu guessed that Ning Hua should have gotten up, so he prepared to dial her number. When the call was about to be made, Lu Xiu changed the call to video for some reason.

However, Miss Ning Hua's schedule was quite different from what the commander had guessed. The first graders at Austin First Public School did not start classes until nine o'clock, and Miss Ning Hua got up around eight twenty. She did not put on makeup, and the time saved was reserved for sleep.

When the communicator started singing, Ning Hua was confused. No one had ever called her in the morning. She touched the communicator and saw the screen saying "An unknown number is requesting a video call with you. Do you want to answer the call?"

Maybe he is another salesman. He comes to work so early. He is really dedicated.

So when Lu Xiu's holographic image was projected opposite Ning Hua's bed, Ning Hua felt that he must be dreaming.

Before Lu Xiu could say anything, Ning Hua sat up all of a sudden: "It turns out that you can't do anything that would make you feel guilty. I can even dream about you."

Lu Xiu looked at Ning Hua, who was sitting on the bed in her pajamas, looking sleepy. He foolishly thought he was dreaming, so he followed her words and asked, "What bad things did you do to make you dream about me?"

Ning Hua did not answer, but stared blankly at Lu Xiu's face. Lu Xiu felt a little uncomfortable under her stare. He clenched his fist to his lips, coughed and asked, "Why are you with Duke Dana of the Byron family?"

"Oh, I applied for the job of animal trainer at his place and lived in the zoo, but then..."

"What's the result?" Lu Xiu asked.

Ning Hua lay back on the pillow, and sat up again after a few seconds. He saw Lu Xiu's image still across the bed, "Ah, this is not a dream... You are the commander!"

Seeing Ning Hua's dumbfounded look, Lu Xiu smiled and said, "It's not a dream. I'm Lu Xiu. Now tell me what's going on between you and Dana."

Yesterday's memories all flooded into Ning Hua's mind. Oh no, the commander must have known...

Ning Hua was a little embarrassed: "You know everything, right?"

Lu Xiu didn't know what Ning Hua was referring to, so he tried to get her to say something: "Yes, tell me the specific situation. I want to hear it from you."

Ning Hua nodded. She understood that those who confessed would be rewarded with leniency.

"You really can't blame me. He was the one who wanted to molest me and oppress me with power. I had no choice but to find a bigger power to scare him..." Ning Hua said and lowered his head guiltily.

Lu Xiu got a clue from Ning Hua's words: "So, the greater power you are talking about is... me?"

Ning Hua nodded sadly: "I'm sorry."

Lu Xiu felt himself sighing again: "What did you say?"

It was so embarrassing. Ning Hua was silent for a while and then answered: "I told him...that he couldn't do this to me, because I am...I am...um...the commander's woman." After saying this, the God secretly looked up and took a quick look at the commander's expression.

The Commander's expression, how should I put it, is very subtle, indescribable...
