Yuqiongyin

With a slight tremor, the starship began to slowly lower its altitude and landed towards the Yuchi Mansion.

Looking down from the porthole of the starship, Yuchi Mansion is like a pearl inlaid on the earth. It covers a vast area, surrounded by carefully trimmed interstellar vegetation, mountains and waters.

Below the starship, the mansion's helipad was ready for the arrival, with the surrounding warning lights flashing red and blue, casting eye-catching light and shadows on the ground.

The engine made a low roar and the reverse thrust device was activated, which stirred up a gust of wind and rustled the surrounding vegetation.

The starship's landing gear slowly extended out, and with a slight muffled sound, the landing gear touched the ground and supported the starship steadily.

The hatch slowly opened and a metal gangway extended out. Yuchi Chenning got ready and walked down the gangway first.

The servants in the mansion had already lined up next to the tarmac waiting. They were dressed in the same uniform, with respectful and pious expressions and heads lowered, ready to welcome the return of Yuchi Chenning and her fiancé Rong Yunqi.

"Welcome, General!"

Yuchi Chenning walked towards the elegant man standing aside in simple attire.

He was tall and slender, wearing a well-tailored robe. The fabric was of fine quality and had a soft luster, as if there were stars flowing in it. Every stitch and thread spoke of low-key luxury, and his whole body exuded a charming and elegant temperament.

His face has soft lines and his facial features are like carefully carved jade, warm and delicate.

His eyes are deep and bright, like the stars in the quiet night sky; under his high nose bridge, his lips always have a gentle smile, as warm as a spring breeze.

"Father." Yuchi Chenning greeted softly.

"Your mother said you would bring your fiancé back today, and I thought about coming here to wait."

"The night in the mansion is cold, father, there is no need to do this."

"It's okay. I came here on my own initiative."

Yuchi Chenning's eyes fell on the coat in the butler's hand. The coat was soft in texture and woven with rare warm fibers in the interstellar space. There were delicate and exquisite dark patterns on it, like stars twinkling in the dark night, low-key and luxurious.

The butler bowed slightly and handed over the coat respectfully with both hands.

Yuchi Chenning took the coat and gently draped it over Zuo Xuan's shoulders with gentle and skillful movements.

The coat fell, fitting perfectly on Zuo Xuan's figure, adding a touch of warmth and dignity to him.

Zuo Xuan looked at Yuchi Chenning, his eyes full of love and relief, and gently patted the heroine's hand, "He's here, then I'll go back."

The warmth between father and daughter overflowed with every touch.

Yuchi Chenning nodded, "Yeah."

Zuo Xuan just nodded slightly and followed the housekeeper back to his villa.

Yuchi Chenning saw Rong Yunluo staring at his father's receding back and introduced him, "He's my father. My mother doesn't want me to meet him for too long, so he just looked at you and went back."

Rong Yunqiu just nodded slightly and didn't ask any other questions. After all, his current identity as a fiancé was a bit embarrassing.

She will tell me when she wants to.

The two of them walked slowly towards Yuchi Chenning's villa, and the servants followed them at a certain distance.

Expanding his mental power to isolate them from the outside world, Yuchi Chenning still planned to explain.

"You should have seen the message on the communication bracelet just now. I met the elders of the Yuchi family tonight, and I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Interstellar Empire to register for marriage tomorrow."

Rong Yunqi nodded gently, "I know."

Yuchi Chenning paused and continued, "The Interstellar Empire allows people with a genetic match of more than 95% to get married, not just for the reproduction of mankind. I think you, as a prince of Yan, should also understand the pros and cons."

"The offspring born with such a high degree of genetic compatibility will surely be the focus of training for the Interstellar Empire in the future, right?"

"Yes, so if you and I get married, it means we will have the best genes of offspring in the entire galaxy in advance. This will be of great help to me in inheriting the Yuchi family in the future. My mother will not give up this opportunity."

Rong Yunqiu looked at Yuchi Chenning who was standing beside him. She had a frank expression on her face and explained all the conflicts of interest regarding the marriage clearly.

"What about the Admiral?"

Yuchi Chenning was stunned. She didn't expect Rong Yunqi to ask her this question.

Yuchi Chenning was silent for a moment, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "The admiral... also has her mission. Our marriage is the product of the interweaving of family and imperial interests, and has nothing to do with her."

Her voice was slightly deep, a hint of bitterness buried deep beneath her tough exterior.

Rong Yunqi frowned slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "I want to know what the admiral means..." He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already very clear.

Yuchi Chenning took a deep breath and said, "In the face of the interests of the empire, personal emotions are insignificant. As a prince, you should be able to understand this kind of helplessness better."

Rong Yunqiu sighed softly, "I understand this helplessness, but I still hope that this marriage will not become our shackles."

He looked at Yuchi Chenning with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Well, I will do my best to help you get revenge."

Rong Yunqi nodded gently, "Thank you, General."

The two people, who had just finished a conversation, were now walking along the jade path towards the villa.

The moonlight shone on them, outlining their figures that looked a little tired yet a little relieved.

Yuchi Chenning put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head slightly, with fragments of the conversation just now still echoing in his mind.

Rong Yunluo walked quietly beside her, his eyes occasionally falling on her profile, as if he was thinking about something.

"Sister is back?"

A sharp voice broke the silence of the night.

Yuchi Chenning raised his head upon hearing the voice, his brows instantly frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

It turned out to be Zhang Ji, standing in the middle of the road like a proud peacock, blocking their way.

"Zhang Ji, what are you doing here?" Yuchi Chenning asked coldly.

Zhang Ji sneered, walked closer with a seductive step, and looked back and forth between the two of them.

"I'm waiting for you, sister. How's the talk with your brother-in-law? Are you pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy? What if you can't get married? Wouldn't that be a crime?"

"Hopeless."

"Humph, I'm hopeless? Sister, don't forget that you are not the only one who can call the shots in this family. I also have the right to inherit."

Zhang Ji's mouth curled up with a malicious arc. She looked at Rong Yunling with a hint of jealousy in her eyes, "Brother-in-law, don't be fooled by my sister. She is the best at acting."

Rong Yunqi frowned slightly. He looked at Zhang Ji and said in a calm but chilling tone, "This has nothing to do with you."
