Marshal, Please Calm Down (MARSHAL)
Not far from the Capital, a person who strongly believes their country is better than other stars, a sharp young female voice echoed from a building designed to resemble the ancient Suzhou gardens of Huaxia.
It was unclear whether the owner of the voice often behaved this way, but the servants working in the garden showed no change in expression, continuing with their tasks. A closer look revealed the dullness and lifelessness in their eyes.
This was the ancestral home of the Feng family, which had stood for many years and once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Xuanyuan family.
The planet where the Feng family resided was not as extravagantly wealthy as the Alman family, which could occupy an entire planet for its own use. However, the Feng family had once been glorious, and indeed, many sentinels and guides had emerged from this family, so their status was not low.
The Feng family’s ancestral home was located on a very large island, inhabited solely by those with the surname Feng. The silent and lifeless servants were, in fact, also of the Feng surname, those who could not awaken to become sentinels or guides.
In the living room of the family head, the sharp female voice rang out again.
“I don’t want to!”
“Yan’er, don’t be ridiculous!”
“What’s ridiculous is you, Father!”
In the living room, a stunningly beautiful woman glared with a somewhat sinister expression at the middle-aged man in the room. The middle-aged man, reprimanded by his daughter, showed no sign of anger. Instead, he patiently spoke to calm her down.
“Yan’er, since that Wu Zimo has awakened to become a guide, he is now one of our Feng family. What’s most important now is to find out what his quantum beast is.”
In contrast to her father’s patience, Feng Yan’er looked at that boy with disdain. “So what if he has awakened? I don’t believe his quantum beast can be more noble than my peacock.”
As Feng Yan’er finished speaking, a peacock with brilliantly colored feathers and a tail even longer than its body, looked at the head of the Feng family with a proud gaze, mirroring its owner’s expression.
The head of the Feng family gazed at the peacock, a flash of amazement and admiration crossing his face.
As a father, he was so humble in front of his daughter precisely because of this. His daughter’s quantum beast was the closest to the legendary phoenix of their Feng family.
According to legend, peacocks and the Dapeng bird were born from the phoenix, and the Feng family claimed to be of the phoenix bloodline. Therefore, any descendant whose quantum beast was close to a phoenix would hold a very high status within the family.
Looking at Feng Yan’er, it was clear that she didn’t even need to give face to her father, the current head of the Feng family, and others had to cater to her.
This had fostered her proud, arrogant, and self-centered personality, where whatever she desired must be obtained.
At a banquet, she set her sights on Xuanyuan Chengtian and immediately used her family’s influence to pursue him madly. If it weren’t for the fact that both families were long-standing Huaxia bloodlines, Xuanyuan Chengtian would have long since thrown this self-important young lady out.
What made Xuanyuan Chengtian even more troubled was that the Feng family, for reasons unknown, had truly set their sights on him. However, that was not the worst; the most disgusting thing for Xuanyuan Chengtian was that this young lady, who was madly pursuing him, was insisting that he marry into the Feng family.
Since Feng Yan’er was the next head of the Feng family, it was impossible for her to marry outside.
When Xuanyuan Chengtian heard Feng Yan’er shamelessly demand that he marry in, the expression on his face at that moment was something the secretary assisting the president vowed she would never forget. It also gave her a new understanding of how audacious the Feng family could be.
To be able to sit in the position of president of the interstellar federation, Xuanyuan Chengtian would undoubtedly be a significant figure even if he did not take over as the head of the Xuanyuan family. Now, with no connection between the two, she shamelessly demanded he marry in and expected him to obediently stay at home to raise children.
Goodness! Fortunately, the Xuanyuan family had excellent quality education; otherwise, Xuanyuan Chengtian would have definitely made this self-important young lady understand why flowers are so red.
Xuanyuan Chengtian did not discriminate against arrangements where women were the breadwinners and men stayed at home, as his aunt Xuanyuan Yi’s family was like that.
His aunt’s husband was quite capable, but after his aunt took over as the Marshal of Garrison Corps, her husband decisively resigned from his teaching position to manage everything at home for his busy wife.
Every time Xuanyuan Chengtian saw the two interact privately, he felt that in the face of deep affection, everything else was trivial. Because his strong-willed aunt was surprisingly gentle and considerate in front of her husband! Those pink bubbles made this single dog feel terribly abused.
He envied the life of his aunt and uncle, so if two people truly loved each other, he didn’t mind who was the breadwinner and who stayed at home.
However, even if he were blind, he would never consider someone as self-important and foolish as Feng Yan’er.
Feng Yan’er, who had repeatedly faced setbacks with Xuanyuan Chengtian, was already in a bad mood, and now hearing her father suggest she contact Wu Zimo only fueled her anger.
“I don’t care; I’m not going!”
He was just a useless person who awakened by some means, not worthy of her attention as a young lady of the Feng family. As for the rumors that he was perfectly compatible with Scott Alman, it was clearly false.
How could a useless person be perfectly compatible with Scott Alman! She absolutely did not believe it!
Thinking of Scott Alman, a trace of admiration flickered in Feng Yan’er’s eyes, but it quickly vanished. There was no way; although she liked Scott Alman more, he was a silver-haired, silver-eyed Westerner.
The Feng family was of noble Huaxia bloodline and absolutely could not mix with other races! As for the ambiguous relationship between Wu Zimo and Scott Alman, ha, only a useless person would seek out other races.
Fortunately, Wu Zimo was unaware that this young lady of the Feng family had once set her sights on his own marshal; otherwise, he would have to shake off the goosebumps rising on his skin before firmly putting this self-important girl in her place.
Looking at this girl, it seemed as if all the good men in the galaxy were at her disposal, and she was still picky, refusing anything that wasn’t pure Huaxia bloodline.
The Xuanyuan family had been passed down to the present, unlike the Feng family, which was so obsessed with bloodlines, the Xuanyuan family was not considered pure Huaxia bloodline anymore.
Xuanyuan Chengtian’s great-grandmother and great-grandfather were blue-haired, blue-eyed Westerners, and by the time it reached his generation, his cousins had varying hair and eye colors, but he had black hair and black eyes.
So, under Feng Yan’er’s picky scrutiny, this unfortunate Xuanyuan Chengtian, who was a throwback to his ancestry, was thus chosen.
If Xuanyuan Chengtian knew that he had attracted such a peculiar girl for this reason, he would probably dye his black hair into a rainbow.
In the end, it was unclear what benefits the head of the Feng family promised Feng Yan’er, but he finally managed to coax this spoiled young lady into agreeing to contact Wu Zimo. Besides that, they had to find out what Wu Zimo’s quantum beast was. At the same time, they informed Wu Zimo that he was one of the Feng family and needed to return.
In the eyes of the head of the Feng family, he did not have high expectations for Wu Zimo. A lonely orphan who grew up outside could hardly awaken a powerful quantum beast. As for why the head of the Feng family did this, it was purely due to family rules.
All awakened members of the Feng bloodline must return to the Feng family, and they needed to clarify whether their quantum beasts were close to a phoenix.
The head of the Feng family handed this matter over to Feng Yan’er and did not concern himself further. In his view, Wu Zimo, an orphan without any background, would surely be very willing to return upon learning that he came from such a great family.
As for his relationship with Scott Alman, they would first see what Wu Zimo’s quantum beast was. If it was a low-level bird, just a low-level guide, marrying him off wouldn’t necessarily yield a family with greater benefits than the Alman family.
However, even so, Wu Zimo must produce a pure Huaxia bloodline offspring.
Having already planned Wu Zimo’s future arrangements, the head of the Feng family began searching among the families he knew for any young women with a high bloodline concentration. He wanted her to quickly have a child with Wu Zimo for the Feng family.
Not only was Xuanyuan Chengtian targeted by the Feng family, but Wu Zimo was also being eyed, as they even wanted Wu Zimo to have children with other women to continue the Feng bloodline.
One could only say that the head of the Feng family was truly digging his own grave...
At the Alman Manor, Wu Zimo knew that his identity as a guide had been exposed, and he also understood that it had leaked so quickly because Scott and the others must have already had countermeasures in place, so he didn’t bother with it.
He still held to his usual saying: leave professional matters to professionals; if the sky were to fall, there would be tall people to hold it up.
“What are you looking at?” Sitting next to Wu Zimo, Scott, who was discussing marriage with his mother, noticed Wu Zimo’s gaze and turned his head to ask softly.
“Hey, Scott, I’ve noticed you’re quite tall.”
Scott didn’t understand Wu Zimo’s thoughts, but he had another interpretation, “That’s just right.”
“…” Wu Zimo, who hadn’t even had a moment to feel pleased, was choked by Scott’s words. What do you mean just right! I will definitely grow taller! I will absolutely be taller than you!
Although Wu Zimo knew that this goal was very difficult to achieve, unless he were to be remade.
Madam Alman had been watching the interaction between her son and the young man with a smile, originally worried that her son’s seriousness would upset Wu Zimo, but now it seemed her son was actually quite charming. Indeed, the men of the Alman family were two different personas in front of their loved ones.
Madam Alman recalled how she interacted with her husband, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
“Mother, when will Father be back?” After teasing Wu Zimo, Scott turned to ask Madam Alman.
Originally, the old marshal should have returned long ago, but due to the sudden attack of the dimensional zerg race on the front lines, the old marshal had to stay put. He should be able to return this time; if there were any more unexpected events, Scott suspected his father would likely disregard everything and rush back to see his mother.
“Your father will be home the day after tomorrow, just in time for you to see him when you return from the capital star.”
Mentioning her husband, a hint of happiness and anticipation appeared in Madam Alman’s smile.
She hadn’t seen Philos for a long time; during this time, they could only communicate through their light brains. Unlike before, when she would see her husband once a week to help him relieve his spiritual pressure.
Fortunately, Philos didn’t have to go to the battlefield now; even if he only relieved his spiritual pressure once a month, it wouldn’t be a problem.
