Chapter 29

[Warning! Your emotions have been in anger and high-pressure for a long time. Please adjust accordingly.]

The warning from 1086 finally snapped Arnold out of his emotions, and the deep red color in his eyes also faded a bit.

Across from him, a nervous officer was standing there to deliver a simple report that could be summarized in no more than five sentences, but ended up dragging on for five minutes. Arnold closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

As if it was a signal, the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly chilled to freezing point. The officer giving the report felt even more pressure, with sweat almost immediately soaking through his back, visible through his heavy military uniform.

Despite this, he stuttered out his reasons for the situation.

Everyone present, except him, was anxiously waiting for the next round of questioning from the general.

The air was so silent that even the drop of a pin would echo.

When Arnold opened his eyes, the color of his pupils returned to the deep red state. After a continuous thirty-plus hour meeting that spanned five sessions, any extra explanations or apologies would seem like a waste of time and energy.

[Warning! Your emotions have reached a dangerous zone! The system will immediately release Fu Yue’s pheromones and strengthen your memory in your brain.]

With the operation from 1086, Arnold fell back into silence.

After a while, he finally said, "Tomorrow, make sure to simplify the reports in your hands before coming here."

Everyone fell silent, expecting a fierce storm but instead, they heard the news to disperse. The leaders were confused by this sudden turn of events and hesitated one by one.

"Do I need to kick you all out?" Arnold looked at his subordinates with a cold and impatient gaze as they lingered even in dispersing, the pressure on them increasing.

Suddenly, it was as if the people below had just awoken from a dream, they quickly gathered themselves and smoothly went out.

Arnold rubbed his tired eyes, taking a moment to clear his mind.

[General, your supply of Fu Yue information essence is running low.]

Arnold frowned.

Unconsciously, the control switch for his emotions seemed to be linked to his little pet. However, perhaps due to exhaustion, this time he did not come up with excuses in his mind. Following his heart, he took out a small cylindrical object from his pocket.

Without needing to approach closely, a very pleasant, sweet and sour smell mixed with an indescribable gene scent pervaded in the air above it.

After taking a breath, Arnold’s eyes briefly turned a soft red before pausing, and slowly turned back to purple.

As his emotions settled down, feeling the night breeze of Junyao Star, he returned to his room in the military camp.

Upon entering the room, he found a large living room, with hard chairs and a square table, simple yet elegant.

These were things Arnold was used to seeing, and he didn’t pay much attention to them.

But today, Arnold stopped in his tracks.

"1086, why do I smell Fu Yue in the air here?" He didn’t have much time left, there was no need to waste it in such a large space.

[System not in use.]

At that moment, he heard the sound of someone shifting across from him.

Arnold walked over. As the scent grew stronger the closer he got, the answer was becoming clear.

He saw his cute little pet, occupying the chairman’s seat at the meeting table. It was curled up and fast asleep.

Arnold leaned closer. Perhaps the lights supplied by the Empire to the army were of the highest quality and performance. Or maybe he was just too tired, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Arnold thought that his delicate little pet, under the glow of these lights, seemed to have a halo around him in his eyes, looking extremely unreal.

After much consideration, Arnold decided to pick up a strand of Fu Yue’s long hair and repeatedly rubbed it in his hand to confirm that this was indeed reality.

Slowly laying down the soft hair, Arnold was surprised when Fu Yue grabbed his hand and placed it near her mouth.

It was a strange sensation. Although he could easily pull away with a light tug.

However, as soon as his index finger moved, Arnold felt the soft and warm touch of Fu Yue’s skin. In addition, the light breathing of the pet gently touched the back of his hand.

This… made him not want to move at all.

But as a pet owner, he needed to meet the pet’s daily needs.

The brain at this moment wasn’t listening to itself, and instead, started to think aimlessly.

He suddenly remembered the websites he had visited before and thought that this must be the intimate contact mentioned in the online article, giving him a feeling of being deeply engrossed.

[Detecting abnormal heart rate, General, combined with the scene analysis, it is judged that you may be experiencing short-lived admiration and infatuation…]

The very robotic synthetic voice interrupted Arnold’s enjoyment at that moment.

Arnold, "Shut up."

Looking back at Fu Yue, Arnold made a new discovery.

He had always been a loyal supporter of "keeping a good sleeping posture even while sleeping."

However, watching Fu Yue occasionally smack her lips and toss and turn in her sleep, he surprisingly felt that it was very fitting and appropriate.

This couldn’t be him!

After calming down, Arnold looked back at Fu Yue.

At that moment, Fu Yue was unconsciously rolling on the sofa.

"Hmm, spinning around, looks good. Spinning around again, hair is messy but just right. Spin one more time, about to fall off… Arnold: ‘!!!’"

Acting quickly, relying on his good physical condition, Arnold caught her as Fu Yue was about to tumble down.

The long-lost scent of pheromones instantly surrounded Arnold.

The strong sense of falling finally woke Fu Yue up. She rubbed her groggy eyes, her voice a bit muffled, "General, you’re back…" "Hmm."

"You’re back so late… The signal here is blocked, unable to access the network. No sofa either…" Fu Yue, still groggy, started rambling and complaining.

But her hand subconsciously grabbed Arnold’s clothes. The rough feeling under her hand made Fu Yue subconsciously grab a few more times.

Huh… Normally the clothes are much softer to touch.

Reluctantly opening her eyes, she saw a sharp military uniform in front of her. Looking up, she saw Arnold’s face.

Wow… Even though Fu Yue didn’t want to admit it, seeing Arnold in a military uniform gave her a fresh perspective on his familiar face.

Military uniforms, a magical tool that enhances a man’s appearance!

Surprised by her boss’s improved appearance, Fu Yue, now wide awake, showered him with compliments, "General Arnold, your military outfit gives you a remarkable presence!"

"Hmm," Arnold automatically accepted the little pet’s praise.

Upon waking up, Fu Yue quickly introduced her new business, "General, what do you think of my outfit today?"

She even gestured to the new dress she bought with her hand.

"The outfit is great," Arnold nodded, "but your hair is curly."

Fu Yue understood instantly. The boss was indeed the boss; while praising the employee’s new business, he also subtly reminded not to neglect the existing business. In short, changing clothes is fine, but don’t interfere with his grooming business as a great general.

When talking about value for money, she thought Arnold was always a great choice.

"Oh! I’ll be more careful next time." Thank you so much for reminding me… I was carried into Arnold’s room, feeling grateful. Since Fu Yue arrived, she had been restricted to the living room without permission.

Peidi, who brought her along, received numerous messages as soon as they landed. Despite being very busy, he made time to bring her to Arnold’s room before disappearing immediately.

If it weren’t for the special Blue Star food that was delivered to her regularly, she would have suspected Peidi of planning to abandon her here.

Upon entering, despite the familiar white decor, Fu Yue was delighted to see the long-lost sofa. She happily gestured to Arnold to place her on the sofa using both her hands and feet.

Finally sitting on the sofa, although it wasn’t as soft as the one in the white house, Fu Yue still felt the joy of sinking into it.

After sitting on hard benches for so long, she was very content, "General, I’ll just sleep here tonight."

As Fu Yue joyfully lay down, she suddenly felt a massive sink on the sofa beside her.

Turning to the culprit of the sink, Arnold, was he still thinking of patting her down?

Just as Fu Yue was about to crawl over to lie down, Arnold unexpectedly fell asleep right next to her.

Fu Yue, "??? Wasn’t there a super big nutrient chamber in that corner?"

Arnold turned to Fu Yue and solemnly said, "To ensure your safety, I have decided to sleep here with you today."

On the surface, this statement seemed to show care for her, but upon closer thought, one could see the loopholes in it.

This was the room of the ruler of the whole planet, and she believed that no matter how foolish someone was, they would definitely not sneak in here in the middle of the night… Thinking that this was probably just General Arnold’s excuse to get close to her, Fu Yue went along with it, "Um, thank you for taking care of me, General."

"Um." This was what he should do.

Although it was the first time sleeping next to Arnold, Fu Yue, who was already familiar with his close contact, didn’t feel anything particularly awkward. She closed her eyes gradually, feeling a bit sleepy.

However, it was different for Arnold. As soon as Fu Yue fell asleep, he instinctively sought warmth and leaned against Arnold’s back. Arnold never closed his eyes.

With a soft body next to him and a strong, alluring genetic scent, these two things almost immediately captivated Arnold’s body, rendering him motionless.

However, even after losing the ability to close his eyes and move, Arnold’s loss of control did not stop.

Because the strange reaction from before came back.

[Report, detected your heartbeat is too fast, love index may increase by 10%.]

It can’t be, it’s just an occasional, really small change in mood.

[Report, detected your love index may increase to 30%.]

Thirty percent shouldn’t be a big deal. Carter should also have this level, right?

[Report, detected your love index may increase to 60%.]

…No, this isn’t like him.

Until dawn, Arnold, who hadn’t closed his eyes and had been continuously thinking against 1086, finally started to admit a bit.

Maybe, just maybe, there was a feeling of liking towards his little pet.
