Royal Alchemist

Qiu Ye opened his eyes again, and he didn't know how long he had slept. He was lying on the soft bed, his blood-soaked clothes had been changed, and he was wearing a clean shirt, which still exuded a faint fragrance.

He tilted his head slightly, and Feng Qi was sitting beside him playing with a communicator. His short blond hair was neat and neat in the sun, and his handsome side face had clear lines, suitable for quiet appreciation.

That dirty and bloody memory seemed like a world away.Although he was unconscious at the time, the violent behavior remained in his mind, and he saw everything in his eyes like a bystander.He remembered that his body changed again, this time not only his eyes, but even his hands mutated into sharp weapons. He was like a predator, playing with the kidnappers one by one, killing them easily.

Looking back at Feng Qi again, Feng Qi had put away the communicator and sat beside him.

His warm hands inserted into Qiu Ye's hair, rubbed his hair lightly, his blue eyes were as gentle as water, he lowered his head, a kiss was imprinted on his lips, and he took his lips and tongue affectionately, sucking and grinding , lips and teeth cuddling.

After a brief kiss, Qiu Ye took a breath and held Feng Qi's palm: "Have you seen it all?"

Feng Qi blinked and hummed.

Qiuye moved her body awkwardly: "Are you scared?"

Feng Qi thought about it, then hummed again.

Qiu Ye was immediately annoyed, rolled her eyelids and said, "Didn't you say that no matter what I become, you will like me?"

A smile bloomed on Fengqi's lips: "Well, the eyes are very beautiful, and they are the golden color you like."

Qiu Ye was very embarrassed, took Feng Qi's hand, hooked his neck and dragged him down, but Feng Qi couldn't wrap him around, so he just lay down beside him and hugged him in his arms.

"I'm a monster." Qiu Ye hugged Feng Qi and whimpered, "I killed them."

"Those who help the evildoers don't need to sympathize with them." Feng Qi comforted, "Is this the first time something like this happened?"

Qiu Ye shook her head: "I also changed on the day Edmund died, but at that time it was only my eyes, and my consciousness was still clear."

Feng Qi patted him: "Do you know the reason?"

"If I knew, would I still be so worried?"

Qiu Ye raised his hands and looked at the back of his hands. He has a strong self-healing ability, especially after he fell asleep for a while. The wounds from the beatings by the kidnappers have almost healed. The cracked skin has begun to heal, but there are red and swollen scars. Covering the surface of the skin, criss-crossing, hideous and ugly.Even if it was like this on his hands, let alone his face, he touched his face carefully, feeling the uneven skin.

"Don't touch, be careful of infection." Feng Qi grabbed his hand away.

"Isn't it ugly?"

Feng Qi kissed his face reassuringly, staring at his face for a long time, seemed to think of something?

Could it be that the silver mask is to cover up these scars?

Qiu Ye was taken aback by him, no one wanted his ugly appearance to be seen that way by the person he liked, so he gave Feng Qi a push: "Don't look at it!"

Feng Qi was silent for a moment: "It's my fault, if I had found you earlier and rescued you, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

"how did you find me?"

"It was Su Tongyang who called me and said that you hadn't returned to the dormitory after a while, so I came out to look for you. Later, I tracked down the ship that kidnapped you and chased it all the way here. When I got off the ship, I felt that your heart was very violent and anxious. , since your position is sensed through the spiritual bond."

After hearing this, Qiu Ye discovered a key word: "Boat? What are you talking about? Why are there boats?"

Feng Qi looked at Qiu Ye steadily: "We are no longer in the imperial capital, we are now at the Delei star on the border of the empire."

What Dre star?A small planet that has never been heard of!

Qiuye suddenly remembered a big event, his alchemist assessment!

He was about to get up when he lifted the quilt, but was grabbed by Feng Qi: "What are you doing?"

Qiuye's heart was beating wildly. He was almost aware of a problem, but he was still unwilling to face it. He said in a trembling voice, "I...I'm going to participate in the alchemist assessment..."

Feng Qi's eyes darkened, and Qiu Ye's heart sank.

"Let me go...I'm going to take the assessment..." Qiuye struggled a bit, like a fish landing on the shore.

"late."

There was a bang in Akiba's head.

Feng Qi said lightly: "You flew for a day and a night after being kidnapped by them, and you fell into a coma for three whole days after killing them, the alchemist assessment is over."

"Impossible...it won't be..." Qiuye still couldn't believe it.

Feng Qi handed him the communicator to show him the time, Qiu Ye glanced at it and didn't want to look any more.

It's too late, it's over... His assessment was completely ruined...

Qiu Ye fell on the bed and raised her arms to cover her eyes.

"It doesn't matter, we will take the exam next year." Feng Qi comforted.

Qiu Ye said hoarsely: "You don't understand, this is very important to me, you don't understand..."

Feng Qi didn't ask any questions but just silently stayed by his side.

"You didn't take the assessment either?" Qiu Ye asked.

"Yes, I came out to look for you as soon as I heard that you were missing."

"Do you know who kidnapped me?" Qiu Ye took away the arm covering her eyes, and her eyes were bloodshot.

"It's Fast." Feng Qi said coldly, "Domini came to remind me, so I guessed it might be him. Later, I found their contact records in the kidnapper leader's communicator, and he was right."

Qiu Ye recalled that the kidnapper once told him that he would let him go if he stayed obediently for ten days and a half months, and realized that Faster's purpose was to deliberately prevent him from taking part in the assessment, and suddenly became irritable: "Why did he do this? Why does he kidnap me! How can he deprive me of the right to be assessed!"

"Because he doesn't think it's a big deal at all. In his view, we are all ants for him to knead, a group of lowly people who have violated the dignity of his nobles, so he uses this method to punish us." Feng Qi spoke sharply.

Qiu Ye clenched her fists tightly, and her joints made a friction sound: "I'm not reconciled."

Feng Qi's deep eyes were turbulent: "I know."

It seemed like a decision had been made, but there were not too many superficial promises, just a deep sentence of understanding.

"You sleep for a while, we'll go back to the Imperial City after enough rest." Feng Qi tucked the quilt up for him, "I'll teach him a lesson."

Akiba nodded and closed his eyes.

As the evening approached, after Akiba woke up, the two of them made up their minds and prepared to set off back to the Imperial Capital.

They are still in the small building where Qiuye was held, the traces of the fight are still there, the ground and the walls are full of cracks cut by sharp weapons, the broken tables and chairs are piled up randomly, the blood has been washed away, leaving a light red The shadows, but all the corpses were gone, and Qiu Ye didn't see anyone who walked from the upstairs room to the courtyard door.

"Where are those corpses?" Qiuye asked.

"I've dealt with it." Feng Qi replied blankly.

Qiuye didn't want to ask him how to deal with it, anyway, just leave it to him at ease. Fast would definitely not dare to tell about the kidnapping of Qiuye.

Leaving the small building, they headed to Star Pier.

Walking on the dark street, Akiba realizes that this planet is very different from the places he has been to before.If the Emperor Capital of Galo Star is prosperous and Lan Xuexing is poor, then this planet is chaos.

The buildings and houses on both sides of the street are dirty and dilapidated. You can see bloody people lying in the smelly ditch everywhere. They don’t know whether they are dead or alive. Many people, playing with sharp weapons in their hands, stared greedily and nakedly at the passing passers-by. Many scantily clad prostitutes stood along the street, flirting with those who passed by the door.

No wonder the kidnappers brought him here, even if he died and threw him in the sewer, no one would take care of him for ten or eight years.

Feng Qi looked calm, walked forward with a cold face, Qiu Ye walked beside him, he had never experienced such a battle before, he was a little uneasy.But he soon discovered that anyone he looked at was timidly averting his gaze.At first he didn't understand why, but later he remembered that with his scary scarred face now, he was thought to be a domineering and vicious character, even if he was walking sideways on the street, no one dared to provoke him easily.

The two came to the pier, Feng Qi led him around for a long time, and finally stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qiuye was puzzled, he obviously found that Feng Qi had brought him back to the original place.

Feng Qi's face was gloomy, and his voice could freeze people to pieces of ice: "The shuttle was stolen."

Akiba was dumbfounded: "You lost Yuko Kaoru's shuttle?"

Feng Qi's face was extremely ugly, because he was rushing to rescue Qiu Ye, so he ran away in a hurry as soon as he docked at the pier, without taking protective measures.But even if he took protective measures, the thieves could still steal it with their superb stealing skills.Youzixun’s shuttle is cool and handsome, and it’s a limited edition new model this year. It’s like shouting to come and steal me when it’s parked in the middle of a pile of broken boats. He’s gone for days, how could it not be stolen?

"Is it very expensive?" Qiuye felt pained.

"Xiaogui, maybe one or two hundred million."

Qiu Ye almost didn't draw it: "Will he let you pay?"

Feng Qi slowly turned his face: "The key question right now is not whether he will let me pay, but how we can go back."

There are no imperial routes in this star field, and there are no public ships. Only private ships and merchant ships that are not afraid of death come here.

"Let's go." Feng Qi hugged Qiu Ye's shoulders, "Let's find a place to eat first."

Qiu Ye rubbed his stomach. He hadn't eaten since leaving the Academy of Sciences, and he was indeed very hungry.

As they walked and looked, they found a decent-looking tavern.

In the lively tavern, most of the sailors were burly and sturdy, and they all came here to drink and chat while the boat stopped.The air smelled of sweat and alcohol, which wasn't very pleasant, but fortunately, neither of them was picky.

The two walked into the tavern, and the crew members stopped talking when they saw them coming in, and looked at them directly. The noisy tavern suddenly fell silent.Whether it's Feng Qi's cold and powerful aura, or Qiu Ye's terrifying scarred face, they are all enough to attract their attention.

But they quickly regained their senses and continued drinking and cursing on their own, and the tavern became lively again.

Feng Qi scanned around vigilantly, and walked to the bar: "Come to something to eat."

The bartender was the same as those crew members. He had a rough face and a loud voice: "What do you want to eat?"

"Two meals, almost enough." There is nothing to choose about the food here, basically the boss has to eat whatever he sells.

The bartender wiped the wine glass with a dirty rag: "Two meals are four hundred."

Fortunately, it is not as expensive as imagined, Qiuye thought to use the communicator to swipe the money.

With a slap, the bartender blocked the scanning area with his thick slap: "It's eight hundred yuan."

Qiu Ye stared: "What? Wasn't it four hundred just now? Why did it double all of a sudden?"

The bartender acted as if you like to eat or not: "If you pay with a communicator, it will be [-] yuan."

"why?"

Seeing that Qiuye was completely unaware of the situation, the drinking crew members sniggered beside him, and when Qiuye glanced over, they quickly turned their faces away.

The bartender said naturally: "Because you pay with the communicator, I have to pay taxes. The empire charges me so much taxes. Of course I have to sell it more expensive. Do you want to eat for [-] yuan?"

"Eat, it's [-]." Feng Qi took out a trading card and took a photo in the scanning area.

The bartender glanced at the account information, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he glanced at Feng Qi several times.

"Hurry up, I'm very hungry." Feng Qi urged.

"Okay." The bartender hurriedly entered the number four hundred and shouted to the kitchen to cook.

This is not an ordinary trading card, but a card issued by the largest underground bank in the black market, which is not available to ordinary people.

The two sat in an inconspicuous corner, and Qiu Ye asked curiously: "How did you have black money? Why did the bartender change his eyes when he saw your card?"

Feng Qi said casually: "Didn't I work in the black market to make money before, where trading cards were used."

Qiu Ye nodded clearly, without asking further questions.

The two meals were quickly served on the table. It was indeed very simple, with not even a few sticks of meat, but the two people who were starving couldn't control that much, and started to eat hungrily.

At this time, several people who looked like crew members walked into the tavern, and the leader was a tall, unshaven uncle.As soon as several people entered the tavern, they shouted familiarly: "Carl, get out the wine!"

The bartender named Karl responded, and immediately took out a dozen bottles of wine from under the bar, held them between the ten fingers of his left and right hands, and delivered them to their table: "Come on."

A crew member yelled, "Tim, what good things have you brought this trip?"

A crew member on the uncle's side responded: "The horns of the Kali Te sheep, the gall of the Dela Ruo bear, and the black diamond of Hongmeixing. If you want it, if the price is right, you can drag it away."

"Damn, how on earth did you get so many good things? How much can you make this time?"

"Are you envious? Are you jealous? Do you want to come to our fleet? Hurry up and kneel in front of our boss!" The crew member named Tim took a sip of his drink, "But we still won't accept you."

The crew member cursed, and everyone in the tavern laughed.

The unshaven uncle called the boss touched the stubble on his chin, laughed wildly a few times, raised his neck and poured wine into the bottle, the wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth and flowed down his thick neck to his shoulders. He wiped it casually with the back of his hand, and smacked his lips.

Qiu Ye and Feng Qi listened to their chattering and stuffed their stomachs with food.

"Are you full?" Feng Qi asked in a low voice.

Akiba nodded.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay for the night first."

Before the two left, Feng Qi went to the bar and knocked on the table.

"What else do you need?" The bartender was still leaning on the bar and wiping the glasses, squinting at Feng Qi.

Feng Qi took out his valuable trading card, and tapped on the table: "Do you know what is the fastest ship to go to Imperial City? Or other big planets."

The bartender glanced at his trading card, then at Feng Qi's elegant clothes, put down his wine glass, and shouted to the uncle's table: "Boss Yuan, aren't you going to the Imperial Capital Star recently? There are two young People want to hitch a ride."

Feng Qi looked at the uncle, the uncle turned his face lazily, looked at Feng Qi nakedly, and looked at Qiu Ye again, he obviously stayed on Qiu Ye's face for a few seconds longer, as if he was very impressed by his face interest.

Qiu Ye curled her lips helplessly, and really wanted to find something to cover her face, but she became a little annoyed when she thought about it, so she just stared back at the uncle with confidence.Only then did he see clearly that this uncle had a muscular body and strong muscles. Although his appearance was ordinary, his outline was very deep and clear, and his eyes were even more sharp and energetic, hiding his edge.

"Want to go to Imperial Capital Star?" The uncle seemed to repeat it with some interest.

Feng Qi looked at the uncle with calm eyes: "What kind of ship are you?"

"What ship?" The uncle and his crew looked at each other, and laughed a few times in a low voice, "A merchant ship."

The merchant ships they talk about are actually smuggling ships, reselling some high-tax commodities between planets.Because of heavy taxes in the empire, smuggling ships were very profitable. Many people were willing to risk their lives in this line of business, and the empire repeatedly banned them.

"You two?" The uncle put one arm on the back of the chair, leaning over to look at them.

"Yes, both of us."

"The imperial capital is far away." The uncle grinned.

"The price will satisfy you."

The uncle laughed, as if Xiao Fengqi was quite sensible, he fumbled in his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes, shook out one, and then groped around on his body, as if looking for a lighter, but he couldn't find it for a long time , a crew member on the side took out a lighter to polish it, the uncle leaned over and lit the cigarette, then took a deep breath, and exhaled the blue smoke comfortably.

Through the lingering green smoke, the uncle squinted his eyes, his eyes cut Qiu Ye and Feng Qi from head to toe like a knife, his eyes flashed slightly: "Okay, come with us if you want."

"When will the boat sail?" Feng Qi asked.

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"What pier do we stop at? How can we find you?"

"You go to the pier to look for my Boss Yuan's boat, everyone knows." The uncle laughed and took another puff of cigarette, and the crew beside him laughed.

"Okay." Feng Qi turned around, raised his chin at the bartender, "Take two bottles of that kind of wine."

The bartender took out two bottles of sparkling fruit wine from the wine cabinet, took out his trading card, and typed a number.

Feng Qi didn't even look at it, just swiped the card, picked up two bottles of wine with one hand, and put his arm around Qiu Ye's shoulder with the other.

Until they walked out of the tavern, they felt that sharp gaze was watching them.

The two found a clean hotel near the pier to stay. After taking a bath, Qiuye was looking in the mirror. He was always fond of smug beauty, and his whole body was almost glued to the mirror.

"It's completely disfigured. It's so ugly that I don't dare to see people anymore." Qiuye pressed the red and swollen scar on his face. Although it has faded a little more than during the day, it is completely healed. I don't know how long it will take. Today he But being seen is enough.

Feng Qi walked into the bathroom and took a look, Qiu Ye immediately covered her face: "Don't look at me!"

Feng Qi hugged him from behind with a smile, pulled his hand away, looked at the wound on his face: "It will recover soon, I will apply some medicine to you later."

"It will definitely leave a scar."

"Just go and fix it."

Having said that, but there are so many cracks, and if they crack again in the future, won't they suffer again?Akiba gets upset just thinking about it.

After applying the ointment, the two sat on the bed hugging each other, and one of them opened a bottle of sparkling fruit wine. The bottles collided lightly, making a crisp sound.

Qiu Ye took a sip of the fruit wine, it was sweet and refreshing, rubbed it on Feng Qi's body contentedly, feeling that happiness was nothing more than that.

"Tell me, is that uncle trustworthy?" Qiuye asked.

Feng Qi said lightly: "The people here are not trustworthy, but I think that person is very famous, so he should be more disciplined and relatively safe."

After thinking about it, Qiu Ye felt that it made sense. After all, these people were smugglers, not murderers. They would be more willing to bring some people to earn some extra money by the way.

And as long as Feng Qi is around, he feels very at ease, and he is too lazy to think about other things.

But when he thought of missing the alchemist's examination, his mood became depressed again, and he leaned on Feng Qi sullenly.

After the spiritual bond is established, the two people's feelings will be connected to a certain extent. When one is happy, the other will be happy, and when one is sad, the other will also be sad. All emotions are doubled. happiness.

As soon as Qiu Ye was depressed, Feng Qi felt it immediately.

"Don't be sad, after we go back, we can think of a way, maybe there will be a chance to remedy it." Feng Qi said.

Qiu Ye shook her head, thinking it was impossible even with her toes, how could the dignified Alchemist Association make a special case for these two little people?

"Or we can directly participate in the intermediate assessment next year, and there will be no delay."

Qiu Ye shook her head again: "No, Boss Jin and I have an agreement that after becoming an alchemist, he will tell me some secrets about my father."

"Is it Qiu Xingyao?"

Akiba didn't deny it: "I guess the secret might have something to do with why I turned into this strange appearance."

Feng Qi touched his head: "Let me think about it, don't worry."

Although she still felt that there was little hope, after hearing what he said, Qiu Ye felt a little relieved.

The two touched the wine bottle again, and the knocking sound of the glass was beautiful.
