What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

Unfortunately, after searching around, the subordinates only found a message left by Lu Yize using his special abilities.

He and Jiang Yue wandered around for a while, and returned to say goodbye before leaving.

Having received confirmation, the leader suppressed his anxiety despite his inner turmoil.

Walking down the street, Lu Yize bought a piece of desert specialty fruit that he had never seen before. He bought some for Jiang Yue to try, as he remembered that Jiang Yue liked these unfamiliar things when she was a child.

Her mouth was stuffed with a purplish-black fruit. When she bit into it, red juice burst out, sweet and juicy. The red juice stained Jiang Yue's originally pink lips, and Lu Yize stared intently at her.

Jiang Yue looked at Lu Yize, who turned around and bought the fruit again, with a puzzled expression. He even bought quite a few and put them in his supernatural space. She ate another one, and to be honest, the taste was just okay, nothing amazing.

However, she simply assumed that Lu Yize liked it and didn't think much of it.

The two concealed their presence and changed into local clothing. It was hot during the day, so they didn't wear much, and the style was somewhat similar to that of Dunhuang on Earth.

Lu Yize looked at Jiang Yue's clothes with a slight smile on his face. They were quite nice. He could store two more sets in his space.

The temperature in the desert dropped sharply at night, so the two wrapped themselves in thick cloaks and checked into the top floor of the hotel.

Lu Yize activated a mental barrier, preventing others from spying on him. Although the hotel ensured privacy, he had never trusted other people's assurances.

The penthouse suite they stayed in had an artificial open-air hot spring. The hot spring pool was not small, but it was not big either, with a diameter of only about five meters.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue gripped the edge of the hot spring pool, looked up at the vast starry sky, and felt the coolness of the desert night on her exposed skin.

Lu Yize leaned against the edge of the pool, looking at Jiang Yue's bare back. The hot spring water rippled slightly. Lu Yize wrapped his arms around Jiang Yue from behind. Jiang Yue had a slender waist, which he could wrap his arms around from behind with one hand.

The person who was leaning against the pool in a daze suddenly opened her eyes wide after Lu Yize approached and hugged her.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together underwater, and they could perceive any changes with extreme clarity.

Lu Yize bent down, rested his head on Jiang Yue's shoulder, and his eyes were half-closed, like a domineering wild beast entering its own territory.

Warm steam rose continuously, wetting Jiang Yue's long hair. The hands that encircled her slender waist pulled her backward, and the tight contact made Jiang Yue subconsciously grab Lu Yize's wrist.

Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue with a smile, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: We haven't really done anything yet, why are you so sensitive?

Jiang Yue has fair skin, and when she's shy, not only her face but also the skin on her body turns red—her knuckles, joints, and neck all turn red.

Lu Yize did indeed have a somewhat wicked sense of humor, not letting her break free, yet making no move, leaving her wanting to take the initiative in a limbo.

The moment Jiang Yue turned her head to break the deadlock, Lu Yize's smile deepened. Hot spring water splashed out continuously, and Jiang Yue held the edge of the hot spring with both hands, her pink and white fingers with red knuckles, clenching tightly inward.

Two distinct finger marks were left below her bound waist, and the rising heat clung to her skin, forming beads of sweat that dripped down.

……

The next day, when checking out, Jiang Yue pulled up her clothes, burying half her face in them, and stood several meters away, looking ashamed.

Out of embarrassment, she got up early and tidied up all the things she couldn't be seen with, which she was now carrying in her hand, intending to take them out to throw away later, as she was too ashamed to let the cleaning staff see them.

This bag is usually filled with the scraps from yesterday's fruit. She knows why Lu Yize bought so much; in short... it's not for any proper purpose.

After Lu Yize checked out of the room, he saw Jiang Yue standing there, her face turning red and black, which was quite a sight to behold. But to be honest, she looked even better last night when she was covered in red fluid.

After the two spent a few days wandering around, Jiang Yue couldn't help but suggest returning to the main star. Lu Yize sighed with regret when he saw her insistence, even though he actually thought it was quite interesting.

In a good mood, before leaving, Lu Yize agreed to a deal with the planet's leader, offering to exchange potions for their equivalent value.

After finalizing the deal, Lu Yize gave him Zheng Mu's information and told him to contact Zheng Mu and establish a trade channel with Blue Star.

Of course, Lu Yize also had his own selfish reasons for agreeing to the deal so readily. For example, the hot spring under the stars in the desert a few nights ago was quite nice, and he could come again next time.

Lu Yize originally wanted to visit other nearby star systems, but Chen Mingzhang sent a message saying that after more than a week of discussion, a plan had been devised.

After all, if no regulations are issued soon, the entire Federation will be waiting, and if no resolution is reached, it may cause other consequences due to public unrest.

Lu Yize had no choice but to temporarily abandon his desire to play outside and return to the main star with Jiang Yue.

The outcome of their discussion was as expected: the main star's responsibilities would remain the same, but the main star's resources would no longer be owned by the eight great families, and the power would fall to the federal organization composed of the five newly elected forces.

The five positions are not fixed and are changed every ten years. The selection is based on strength, and each faction manages a different area, with each having a priority position and checks and balances the others.

At the same time, some unreasonable rules and regulations that previously applied to both aristocratic and commoner families were abolished, and academy resources were no longer exclusively open to aristocratic families...

Lu Yize scanned the document with his mental power and basically knew what the several pages of rules and regulations were about, but due to the procedure, he still had to listen to them repeat it verbatim.

Aside from one or two unreasonable points, everything else was feasible. Lu Yize had no objections, and the aristocratic families led by Ron breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the other side hadn't tried to wipe them out.

Of the five forces, whether in terms of strength or... strength, they all have a share in Blue Star. Next are the interests of the aristocratic families represented by Ron, the representatives sent by the academy, the leader of the common people, and the last position, which fell into the hands of the Zerg, where Hilde is located.

Although the others had many grievances against the Zerg, they could not erase Hilde's achievements in that war. In terms of strength and methods, Hilde's Zerg still managed to hold the last position.

Of course, this was also after consideration by other forces, who specifically elected the Zerg to restrain the equally powerful Humans.

Lu Yize himself didn't have much of an opinion on this. In fact, he only had the title and didn't do any real work. Becoming stronger wasn't about finding a lot of things to do; becoming stronger was for enjoyment.

After the matter was finalized and all parties agreed, Ron distributed the documents to various parts of the Federation. Upon seeing the Zerg Hilde, many races continued to hurl insults.

However, none of this mattered to Lu Yize. The main star's reconstruction would take a considerable amount of time, and their involvement was not needed in the short term. Therefore, Lu Yize and the others decided to return to their home star.
