Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

In the end, although Xia Jiumeng did not get to touch Li Shen's little ball of fur as she wished, she was compensated by touching his soft belly.

I didn’t expect that Li Shen’s seemingly soft belly is actually all tendon meat, unlike other cats which are all soft, but it feels very good.

"Miss, this is the dress the Knight Commander sent me. He said it's the dress the Grand Prince sent me to wear for the temple blessing ceremony."

Chunqing walked in holding a moon-white long dress.

"Dresses? Everyone has them?"

"Yes miss."

Xia Jiumeng looked at the clothes and said, "Spread it out."

Although Chunqing was confused, she still did as she was told. Her white long skirt scattered like moonlight, and at the same time a black envelope fell to the ground from the corner of the skirt.

"This..." Chun Qing was stunned for a moment, then picked up the letter on the ground, checked it and then handed it to Xia Jiumeng.

"Miss, there is a letter."

"give it to me."

Xia Jiumeng took the letter and started reading.

There is only one short line of text on it.

"If you work with me, you can become a duke with real power. Isn't it more reassuring to have power in your own hands?"

Real power?

It seems that the eldest prince is planning to use power to lure her.

Interesting.

"Chunqing, have you gotten any information about the Second Prince?"

All three princes had come, but she had only met two of them so far.

"No, I heard that the second prince doesn't care about the position of crown prince. He just came here to pray and has no intention of even participating in the trial." Chun Qing said the news she had heard.

Does not participate?

Xia Jiumeng doesn't think so.

Sometimes the people who don't fight or compete are the most dangerous.

"Let Mo Yuanming pay attention to this Second Prince. I feel he is not that simple."

After Xia Jiumeng finished speaking, she changed into casual clothes and left with Li Shen.

The letter ended with an invitation to the spaceship's virtual room.

She was going to take a look.

Perhaps the eldest prince knew she would come and made arrangements in advance, so she had a smooth journey.

When I pushed the door open, I saw the eldest prince changing out of his training clothes.

His light golden hair stuck to his cheeks, and his tight combat uniform outlined his not-so-skinny figure, making him quite a handsome guy.

Xia Jiumeng took a look and then looked away. He was not as handsome as Li Shen, and his figure was not as "well-proportioned" as Li Shen.

Nothing to see.

However, the royal family's genes are still pretty good. Compared to most people, these princes and princesses are indeed much more handsome.

"Sorry, please wait a moment." The eldest prince said and walked towards the locker room.

A few minutes later, the eldest prince changed into a well-tailored shirt and trousers and led Xia Jiumeng to sit on the sofa in the rest area.

"Please sit down, Miss Xia." The eldest prince skillfully poured her a cup of hot tea.

Xia Jiumeng took it and took a sip. "I wonder what your Highness wants to talk to me about?"

She wasn't worried about the eldest prince poisoning her or anything like that. After all, her 'value' was there now, and they couldn't protect her enough.

"Miss Xia is as straightforward as ever." The eldest prince smiled gently.

"You should have finished reading what Third Brother gave you, right?"

"Oh? The eldest prince knows?" Xia Jiumeng raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, if no one is arranging it, how could anyone eavesdrop on the secret conversation?" The eldest prince smiled faintly and did not deny that he had tricked someone else.

He used the Third Prince to pass the news to her and then asked her to meet him. Even if it was later discovered that it was not him who eavesdropped on the secret conversation, he would not be punished at all.

Xia Jiumeng thought to herself, he is worthy of being the boss, he has so many thoughts.

The third prince probably didn't expect that he was making wedding dresses for others.

"What does Your Highness the Great Prince want to do?"

"Miss Xia guessed it, didn't she?"

"What's in it for me?"

...

After a long time, Xia Jiumeng returned to the room, playing with a badge in her hand and asked Li Shen who was massaging her legs carefully.

"What do you think."

In the virtual room, the conditions offered by the eldest prince were very tempting.

He needs the support of the Duke's Mansion, not only financial resources, but also cores.

The old king is very old, and it won't be long before he succeeds to the throne after the crown prince is confirmed. At that time, he can give the Duke's Palace the power to dispatch some of the royal knights.

You can even exchange a portion of the mineral vein for the exclusive rights to the core in her hand, and the price will be a satisfactory number for her.

If she wanted, she could have a place by his side.

Xia Jiumeng said she needed to think about it and stood up to say goodbye.

"I'm afraid many people already know about the pollution-free core." Li Shen poured some skin care massage oil on his hands.

His girl's skin was too delicate. Even after several hours, he could still see the mottled finger marks on her legs, which made him feel distressed.

"Indeed, I'm afraid I will soon be the 'target' of many people." Xia Jiumeng sighed helplessly. It seems that no matter which world she lives in, she cannot escape the fate of being eaten by Tang Monk.

"We can cooperate to hold them back first, and then we can escape after the people in the Duke's Mansion are settled."

"Hehe, I thought so too. You are indeed my pear. You understand me." Xia Jiumeng giggled and kissed the man on the cheek.

Li Shen held down the girl who was moving restlessly in his arms, his eyes darkening as he said, "Don't move."

Xia Jiumeng stopped laughing the moment she felt the man's passion.

She hasn't recovered since yesterday!

There was not much entertainment on the spaceship, and Xia Jiumeng had no contact with those nobles, so she could only stay in the room with Li Shen out of boredom.

Mo Yuanming was having a lot of fun in the virtual training room.

Chunqing transformed herself into a community cow and moved easily among the maids and servants of various nobles, and found out all kinds of information.

With the pollution-free core, Li Shen's cultivation became easier.

In the evening, Xia Jiumeng went to the artificial garden on the second floor alone to keep an appointment.

She wanted to hear what kind of reward the third prince could offer.

Under the hint and confidence of the Third Prince, Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Compared to the eldest prince's inducement, the third prince simply uses coercion and then gives some sweet treats.

He was very ambitious. Not only did he want financial support from the Duke's Mansion, he even wanted Xia Jiumeng to provide him with a large number of uncontaminated cores to cultivate his own private knight group.

Then he asked her to assign the knights of the Duke's Palace to him.

After the success, he can upgrade the Duke's title and protect the Duke's Mansion under the protection of the empire.

Otherwise, if the outside world knew that the Duke's Mansion could produce uncontaminated cores, it would definitely attract the attention of various forces. At that time, the Duke's Mansion, without the protection of the empire, would likely be in deep danger.

After all, there are always a lot of desperate criminals in this world.

And she also heard the recording, so she must have understood that even the royal family was plotting against her.

If they cooperated, he could guarantee that after he succeeded to the throne, he would be in charge of protecting the Duke's Palace, and after purchasing the core at a normal price, he would take charge of the matter in the name of the empire.

This way, the Duke's Mansion would not be noticed by those people, and he promised that he would never force her to give birth to the core, and all transactions would be based on the principle of fairness.

Xia Jiumeng was so angry that she laughed.

Isn't this clearly saying that if she doesn't cooperate, she will sell her secret and let the entire Philos population tear her apart?

Also fully support.

Xia Jiumeng's face had turned completely cold at this moment.

"Miss, your drink." A waiter lowered his head and placed a glass of red cocktail next to Xia Jiumeng's hand.

"Thank you."

The third prince didn't care about Xia Jiumeng's cold face. He believed that Xia Jiumeng could figure out the interests involved.

"Miss Xia, please think about it carefully. I really want to cooperate with you."

"I will consider it carefully. Before that, you should first obtain the position of crown prince in the trial."

Xia Jiumeng drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and left.

Do you think a Duke's Mansion can control her?

Do you think she is really the weakling she used to be?

ridiculous.

Seeing her come back, Li Shen asked, "How is it?"

"how?"

"not too good."

Li Shen felt Xia Jiumeng's unyielding aura. "What? Are you angry?"

"Not really, I just think they are too self-righteous." Xia Jiumeng couldn't say she was very angry, but she was just a little unhappy about being threatened.

He told Li Shen what the third prince had said.

"Hearing you say that, I think you are quite self-righteous. Do you need my help?" Li Shen's expression was normal, but the teacup beside him was slightly frosted.

"No need, let them fight among themselves." Xia Jiumeng touched Li Shen's slightly stiff short hair soothingly.

No wonder the third prince couldn’t defeat the eldest prince, the difference in temperament was too big.

If she hadn't been so time-constrained, she might have agreed to the eldest prince's proposal.

"it is good."

Xia Jiumeng looked at the several hollow cores that Li Shen had already absorbed and took out some more.

These are all pollution-free cores. After the power is absorbed, the shell will not disappear and can even be reused.

Li Shen took it and casually put it aside, then pulled her wrist and let her lie on her side on the sofa.

Xia Jiumeng “?”

"You should get some sleep. You didn't get enough rest yesterday." Li Shen chuckled and shook the bottle of essential oil in his hand. "It's just right that I can massage your waist for you."

"I'll call you for dinner."

As he spoke, he held her in his arms, and his rough hands applied the warm essential oil to her waist, gently massaging in circles.

"Well, so comfortable." Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but sigh, and her waist, which had been a little uncomfortable due to overuse, instantly felt much more relaxed.

She couldn't help but stretch her body a little further.

“I learned it from reading books.”

"So, have you learned a lot from reading?"

"It's quite a lot."

"awesome……"

Xia Jiumeng felt the man's strong heartbeat and the gentle pressure on her waist, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.

During dinner, Li Shen was reluctant to wake up the girl who was sleeping soundly.

After carrying her to bed, he brought Chunqing's dinner from the master bedroom door and placed it on the heating pad to warm it. Feeling something was wrong, he went out again in the middle of the night.

Perhaps she was really tired, and when Xia Jiumeng woke up it was already the next day.

Looking at Li Shen's peaceful sleeping face, she got up quietly.

After a quick wash, I was looking at the still warm food and was about to eat when someone took away my chopsticks.

"?"

She looked up and saw that Li Shen had woken up at some point and was standing aside, looking at her helplessly.

"It's not healthy to stay up all night."

As he spoke, Li Shen put away the plate of food and brought out a bowl of porridge like magic.

Xia Jiumeng: “???”

Noticing her curiosity, Li Shen explained, "There's a simple bar in the room. I went to get some food this evening."

"I see. Thank you~"

"Thank you, how does it taste?"

"good to eat!"

Li Shen made a sweet porridge that was sweet but not greasy, and it made me feel warm inside.

Xia Jimeng glanced at the empty space in front of the man, raised the spoon filled with sweets and handed it to his mouth, "Let's eat together~"

Xia Jiumeng pulled Li Shen to finish all the porridge before letting him go.

During this time, Chunqing came to report that the spaceship had arrived at the temple and was about to dock.

After Li Shen tidied up the small bar, he turned back into a cat and put on the small clothes.

Xia Jiumeng originally wanted to help, but he put on his clothes so quickly that she had to give up.

After Xia Jiumeng came out of the room, Chunqing immediately packed up everything.

Soon the spacecraft shook slightly.

[The spacecraft hatch has been opened. Please leave in an orderly manner.]

A mechanical prompt sounded, and Xia Jiumeng and the others followed the prompts and got off the spaceship.

Looking at the beautiful scene in front of her that looked like a fairyland, Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but exclaim that it was beautiful.

The huge white and gold palace stands in the garden full of green plants and various flowers.

Many harmless small and medium-sized monsters were wandering around.

"Wow, the temple really lives up to its reputation. It's a wonderland!"

"Look, there are deer!"

"And the little lamb!"

"Aww, so cute!"

The ladies couldn't help but talk about the scene in front of them. They had seen the temple in videos and information before, but it was far from being as shocking as seeing it in person.

If we had known earlier that the spread of supernatural energy would cause many animals to mutate or become extremely aggressive and dangerous.

It is a rare sight to see so many gentle and diverse small animals gathered together like here.

No wonder it caused everyone's amazement.

"Meow." The scenery is truly unique.

Li Shen couldn't help but speak.

"It's very beautiful."

In this chaotic world, it is a rare "cleanliness".

Just as everyone was enjoying the scenery, several beautiful maids in white long dresses came over.

"Everyone, we are servants of the temple. The bishop has arranged a resting place for everyone. Please follow me."

She made a gesture of invitation and led everyone towards the floating ladder at the edge of the castle.

[SO: emm I've written a bit too much. I'll try to condense it in the next Jinsha. Haha. The prophet plot will probably be over in the next two days. Thank you all for your patience in watching and liking it. Love you all~]
