When the starship finally sailed into the region of the marginal planet, the temperature had dropped significantly.

Looking out through the window of the cabin, Nan Xiao saw a vast and endless ice field. The northern city in the distance was as small as a black spot, but it was one of the most important military cities of the empire on the edge planets.

They will arrive at their destination in about ten minutes.

The starship landed on the ice field, and a burst of ice dust dispersed. Hundreds of tall dragon soldiers equipped with guns stood not far away.

As they expected, Yue Huaiying came to greet him in person, and Nan Xiao took the little dragon cub off the starship while quietly glancing at the welcoming army.

They were all soldiers under Yue Huaiying's command, with familiar marks on their armbands.

"I've seen your highness—the last time I met your highness at a banquet in the imperial capital, does your highness still remember?"

Nan Xiao paused, watching Yue Huaiying greet him enthusiastically, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"Of course I remember, you are General Yue, right?"

Yue Huaiying's face didn't look any different from that at the banquet. At first glance, he looked like a soldier who had been fighting on the edge of the planet all year round, honest and straightforward.

But looking closely now, Nan Xiao felt that the other party's eyes were filled with a faint hostility and ambition, but it was well concealed, which made people have the illusion that he had no city.

"Your Highness has a really good memory. You have worked hard all the way. I have already ordered someone to prepare the room, and I have also found some of the best doctors on the edge of the planet."

"Your Highness rest for a few days, and when you get used to the climate here, how about I take your Highness to inspect the army?"

Nan Xiao smiled slightly, and nodded following his words.

"By the way, he sleeps with me." Nan Xiao glanced sideways at the little dragon cub beside him, "There is no need to prepare."

The simple and honest smile on Yue Huaiying's face froze for a moment, and his eyes quickly fixed on the little dragon cub from Nan Xiao.

"This is……"

The assassination in the imperial capital was so loud that no high-level officials were unaware of it.

Although it was Han Yuan's intentional dissemination of the news, but Yue Huaiying didn't know about the existence of the little dragon cub, and ghosts wouldn't believe it.

The smile on Nan Xiao's lips deepened, it was harmless to humans and animals.

"This is Han Yuan's son."

As soon as the words fell, almost all the soldiers' eyes fell on the little dragon cub.

As if he didn't expect Nan Xiao to bluntly reveal the identity of the little dragon cub in front of so many people, Yue Huaiying's expression changed several times, and finally he laughed a few times.

"...It turns out that he is the son of Lord Shengzi. Of course, we can rest assured that His Royal Highness will take care of him."

"It's just...the minister has one more thing to ask His Highness. Since Mr. Han Yuan is safe and sound, why hasn't he come back after staying in the emperor? The fringe planet really needs him to preside over the overall situation!"

Nan Xiaoxin said that Han Yuan is right next to me, ready to kill you at any time to preside over the overall situation.

The dark almond eyes on his face are innocent and blank, just like the rumored little prince who doesn't hear anything outside the window.

"I do not know."

The young man's eyes widened in surprise.

"Father didn't tell me, but just asked me to inspect the army... Maybe Han Yuan stayed in the imperial capital to prepare for our wedding."

"Of course the marriage contract between Lord Son and His Highness is more important than anything else, Lord Son should stay in the emperor, should..."

Along the way, Yue Huaiying kept beating around.

It's a pity that Nan Xiao was prepared for a long time, he didn't know what to ask, pretended to be stupid, and when he got impatient with the question, he simply said it.

"General Yue, I feel a little unwell, maybe the edge planet is too cold, I'm not used to it yet...I want to rest for a while."

"The little Highness is resting, and I will not disturb His Highness."

As an important town on the edge of the planet, Beicheng has a vast territory, and it takes more than half an hour from entering the city to arriving at the main camp.

Nan Xiao covered his heart with one hand, pretending that a cold illness was about to strike, watched Yue Huaiying exit the cabin, and after confirming that the other party had left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you think of Yue Huaiying's reaction?"

"giao."

"Nothing unusual for the time being? I think so too. Let's have a look at the place he arranged."

It was the first time Nan Xiao came to the edge planet, and it was the first time he saw the army stationed on the border of the empire.

The military tents of the size of the barracks were connected into a large area, and patrolling teams could be seen everywhere. There was a training ground in the distance, which should be used for training mech troops.

Nan Xiao glanced around, and had to admit that these soldiers had an indescribable feeling compared to those soldiers who had never actually been on the battlefield in the imperial capital.

It's like the difference between a sharp sword and a blunt knife.

"Is your highness feeling better? If you still feel unwell, may I ask the doctor to come and see your highness?"

"Don't worry, I've taken medicine and I'm much better."

"That's good—the army doesn't know that the son of Lord Shengzi also came to the marginal planet with His Highness. I think it should be announced?"

Is this trying to take the little dragon cub away from him in a grand manner?

Nan Xiao frowned slightly and said hesitantly.

"It depends on whether he is willing... He is still young, and he is actually a little shy."

Seeing that Nan Xiao didn't stop him, Yue Huaiying immediately stretched out his hand to pull the little dragon cub to his side.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm just taking the little dragon cub for a walk around the barracks, so that the soldiers below will recognize it—"

The moment before Yue Huaiying's hand touched the little dragon cub, an ice pick precisely passed through Yue Huaiying's fingers and flew to his neck.

The little dragon cub bared his teeth, his pupils turned into needles, and let out a threatening growl from his throat.

Yue Huaiying was obviously stunned for a moment, Nan Xiao knew that Han Yuan meant that he didn't want to go with Yue Huaiying, so he immediately picked up the little dragon cub in a cooperative manner.

He patted the little dragon cub on the head as if coaxing a three-year-old child.

"Zai Zai, you can't do this—" He raised his head and glanced at Yue Huaiying apologetically, "There's no way, he's really shy, and maybe he doesn't want to go with you."

"...Hahahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, just wait until we meet a few more times and get acquainted."

After all, with a bunch of people watching, Yue Huaiying couldn't just snatch the little dragon cub from Nan Xiao's arms.

He withdrew his hand resentfully, but the smile on his face didn't diminish, and there was even a bit of kindness on his face.

"As expected of the son of Lord Shengzi...the ability to control Bingshuang is so proficient at such a young age."

If this little dragon cub is allowed to grow up, wouldn't the position of the holy son of the dragon clan in the future belong to this kid?

He originally thought that Han Yuan married the little prince of the empire and had no children. Maybe he would be able to successfully take over the position of the prince without raising troops. Now it seems...

This little dragon cub must die!

"Then I will take His Highness to the prepared room now. I don't know what His Highness likes to eat, so I will ask the kitchen to cook for His Highness."
