The Strongest Princess Consort in the Interstellar

Chapter 103: Taking You to a Good Place

On the other side, Long Jingze, who had already walked far away, still furrowed his brows and asked Xiao Qingyang, "Does she often trouble you?"

When he had just realized his feelings for Yangyang, Long Jingze was extremely excited. Later, due to a special mission, he had to leave for a while and didn't have a chance to investigate why Yangyang had been on the Yalan Star.

Now, encountering Xiao Qinglan and seeing her attitude towards Yangyang, Long Jingze couldn't help but suspect that there was more to Yangyang's situation at the Yalan Star.

Moreover, their names were so similar, which also raised some doubts in his mind. However, he had never heard of Xiao's family having another son named Xiao Qingyang.

In fact, it was normal for Long Jingze not to recognize Xiao Qingyang as Xiao's family member. Despite Xiao Qingyang's notorious reputation outside, the Crown Prince only cared about the people he was interested in and didn't bother to remember unfamiliar faces.

Besides, considering Xiao Qingyang's exceptional talent in alchemy, how could he be a useless person?

That's why he didn't immediately realize that Xiao Qingyang was the so-called "useless" son of the Xiao family.

However, because of Xiao Qinglan this time, Long Jingze thought about investigating Xiao Qingyang's past life properly, especially why he appeared on the Yalan Star.

Xiao Qingyang was clearly at the age to be attending school, yet he only had an old butler by his side, and both of them were on the deserted Yalan Star. If Long Jingze hadn't unintentionally gotten injured and fallen on the Yalan Star, the two of them might still be leading a miserable (not really) life there.

"No need to worry about her. She can't bully me," Xiao Qingyang said with a smile to Long Jingze.

He genuinely didn't want to talk about Xiao Qinglan. From both the perspective of the original owner and his own perspective, Xiao Qinglan was not someone worth mentioning.

In a way, Xiao Qingyang was quite similar to Long Jingze. They both didn't pay attention to people who weren't important to them, who weren't within their circle. They wouldn't waste their extra attention on those people.

As for Xiao Qinglan's acts of bullying, Xiao Qingyang didn't consider them worth mentioning. Even with his current skills, he could easily handle it. There was no need to tell Long Jingze and make him worry unnecessarily.

Thinking that Xiao Qingyang was upset about what had just happened or that his past life had deeply wounded his heart, Long Jingze assumed that he didn't want to bring up the related people. So, he thoughtfully refrained from further inquiries and silently kept Xiao Qinglan and the Xiao family in his heart.

It would be best if Xiao's family had never bullied Xiao Qingyang in the past, otherwise, he would never spare the Xiao family.

"I'll take you to a nice place," Long Jingze said, worried that Xiao Qinglan's appearance might affect Xiao Qingyang's mood, so he changed the subject.

"What place?" Xiao Qingyang asked curiously, as expected.

Instead of answering immediately, Long Jingze put on a mysterious expression and said, "You'll know when we get there. You'll definitely like it."

Xiao Qingyang's curiosity was piqued even higher by Long Jingze's words, and he was filled with anticipation for the place they were about to visit.

The Royal Military Academy had already prepared many surprises for him, and now with Long Jingze's behavior, his expectations grew even more.

Originally, Long Jingze had planned to take Xiao Qingyang on a tour of the campus, but the recent altercation with Xiao Qinglan had attracted a lot of attention, and the onlookers had recognized them.

Moreover, these people started calling their friends, spreading the news. If they didn't leave soon, they might be overwhelmed by the crowd.

So, Long Jingze decisively summoned a campus flying car and whisked Xiao Qingyang away from the spot in a flash. The onlookers chased the flying car for a long distance until they could no longer keep up, and then they stopped.

"Your, Your Highness, you're so cunning! You just...just left like that," a girl who had been chasing them from behind said, panting. "But I'm so lucky. I actually met Your Highness and was able to see you in person. It's simply too blissful."

The others had similar expressions, all looking infatuated, their eyes shining as they stared in the direction where Long Jingze and Xiao Qingyang had disappeared.

"Who was that boy who was with the male god just now? He's quite handsome, but I haven't seen him before," another girl suddenly remembered Xiao Qingyang and asked curiously.

Long Jingze was very well-known in the Royal Military Academy, an idol that everyone admired. Therefore, the several people who often appeared by his side were also well-known to everyone. They could recognize them at a glance. So, when Xiao Qingyang, a new face, appeared, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

As a result, the students who couldn't catch up with Long Jingze on campus quickly shifted their attention to the school's online forums and discussion platforms, ready to dig deep into Xiao Qingyang's information.

However, at this moment, Long Jingze and Xiao Qingyang, who were about to go to the mysterious place, had no time to pay attention to all of this.

The campus flying car flew around the school for over half an hour, and Xiao Qingyang couldn't help but ask, "Aze, are we not there yet?"

"This place is so far away. We flew for half an hour in the flying car. If we walked, it would probably take half a day," Xiao Qingyang exclaimed.

"We're already here. Do you want to come and take a look?" Long Jingze smiled and gestured for Xiao Qingyang to look out of the window.

Xiao Qingyang approached the window, looked down, and his eyes widened in astonishment. He was filled with excitement.

"Aze, this... this place is so beautiful," Xiao Qingyang stammered in his excitement.

The Royal Military Academy, with its vast area, owned the entire planet, so its landscaping was on a grand scale that surpassed other schools. The academy advocated a return to tradition and nature, so most of the buildings were not tall, and there was a large green area. When Xiao Qingyang first arrived, he fell in love with the school.

But even though he had seen the natural beauty and greenery of the school before, he couldn't help but be amazed by the sight before him. Joy kept welling up from within him because this place was just too beautiful.

The area was not large, but there was a lake with sparkling blue water that was crystal clear and shimmered under the sunlight. The surrounding trees were lush, and the flowers were vibrant. Everywhere he looked, it was like a picturesque landscape.

If Xiao Qingyang weren't sensitive to the natural and artificial elements of landscaping, he wouldn't have believed that such a beautiful place could have formed naturally. Except for a small wooden cabin by the lake, there was no trace of human interference.

The presence of the wooden cabin added a touch of liveliness to the scenic beauty, making it even more delightful.

"Do you like it?" Long Jingze naturally saw the unrestrained surprise in Xiao Qingyang's eyes and on his face, but he still asked intentionally.

After living together on the Yalan Star for two months, Long Jingze knew Xiao Qingyang's love for nature very well and was certain that he would love this place.

Sure enough, after coming here, Xiao Qingyang was genuinely happy.

"I love it, I really love it. I didn't expect our school to have such a beautiful place," Xiao Qingyang said excitedly.

The beauty of this place resembled the secluded place where he and his parents had lived in a previous life, picturesque scenery everywhere, bringing joy to the heart.

In this technologically advanced world, there were far fewer natural landscapes compared to their previous world, where mountains and forests were abundant. Therefore, it was easy to find such a beautiful place in their previous world, but it was much more difficult here.

But he didn't expect that their school would hide such a place.

"Of course, this is the most beautiful place in our school," Long Jingze proudly said.

Long Jingze parked the campus flying car by the lake and then led Xiao Qingyang out of the car.

Just looking down from the flying car earlier had already made them appreciate the beauty of the place, but being amidst it intensified that feeling of beauty even more.

"Whose cabin is this? It's so beautiful," Xiao Qingyang headed straight for the wooden cabin as soon as he got out of the car.

He hadn't seen such an authentic wooden cabin in a long time, especially in a world filled with high-rise buildings and concrete. This was his first time seeing a wooden cabin like this.

"I built it," Long Jingze said quietly, puffing up his chest with pride.

As expected, Xiao Qingyang looked at him with admiration. "Wow, that's amazing. You can even build wooden cabins? Can I go inside and take a look?"

Long Jingze replied, "Of course."

Xiao Qingyang followed Long Jingze into the cabin and discovered that although the exterior was an authentic wooden structure, the interior was quite modern and fully equipped with all the facilities. It truly embodied the saying "small but complete."

As Xiao Qingyang curiously explored the cabin, footsteps and voices could be heard outside. It seemed like someone was approaching.

"Hey, how come there's a flying car here? Who came?" a cheerful voice sounded, seemingly questioning the presence of their campus flying car.

"It should be the boss. I saw someone on our school's online forum saying they bumped into the boss."

"Is it true? The boss has actually returned? Why wasn't there any notification for us?"

"Why should he notify you? The boss doesn't have the time or interest to pay attention to you now."

"Hey, Luohao Yu, what do you mean by that? Why doesn't the boss have the time or interest to pay attention to me? If he doesn't pay attention to me, should he pay attention to you?" the boy who spoke before retorted discontentedly.

"Of course, there are more important people to focus on. At a time like this, how could they think about us, their brothers?" Luohao Yu shrugged and hinted with his words.

"Aze, is someone coming?" Xiao Qingyang immediately ran over to Long Jingze's side, looking nervous as he gazed at the entrance of the wooden cabin.

Although Long Jingze claimed the cabin was his, encountering other people here made him instinctively feel nervous.

"Don't worry, they're all acquaintances," Long Jingze reassured Xiao Qingyang.

This secret base was established by his team, and the wooden cabin belonged to all of them. Apart from their group, no one else would come here.

Usually, they occasionally came here to hang out when they had free time, but the visits were infrequent. Most of their time was spent in the school dormitories or on missions.

Even Long Jingze hadn't expected that they would all come together today. He wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or intentional.

As the voices outside grew louder and the conversation became more explicit, Long Jingze walked out of the cabin expressionlessly and came face to face with the people trying to enter.

"Oh my god, Boss, you're really here!" Guan Qingtian looked at Long Jingze in astonishment.

In fact, they hadn't planned to come here today, but Mingzhe mentioned seeing the boss on the online forum. So everyone went to check the forum posts, and sure enough, they saw the boss's figure appearing on campus.

It had been two months since the start of the semester, and the boss hadn't shown up once. Now that he finally appeared, according to his usual speed, he should have already returned to the dormitory. However, they had waited for a long time and didn't see the boss in the dormitory.

Therefore, everyone had various speculations.

"The boss has returned, why hasn't he returned to the dormitory?" Bai Mingzhe was the first to speak up.

"Maybe he hasn't arrived yet?" someone responded.

Bai Mingzhe said, "Given the boss's speed, it shouldn't be this slow."

"Perhaps something delayed him. Should we call the boss and ask?" Guan Qingtian suggested.

The proposal was met with agreement from everyone, but unfortunately, nobody answered when they tried to make the call. This made them even more worried and curious, except for Luohao Yu, who remained calm and composed.

"Who is this person with the boss? Why haven't we seen him before?" Bai Mingzhe looked at the post again and noticed Xiao Qingyang, who was with Long Jingze. 

The others hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Qingyang before, but now they all rushed over to take a look. However, no one recognized him except for Luohao Yu, who simply smiled and remained silent.

"Haoyu, you must know something. Speak up!" Guan Qingtian threatened.

"Boss probably doesn't have time to return to the dormitory right now. You guys shouldn't speculate randomly," Luohao Yu kindly reminded them.

Everyone collectively asked, "Why?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Luohao Yu gestured towards the online forum with his chin. Although he didn't give a direct response, his answer only made everyone more curious.

"What's going on exactly? Do you know this person? Who is he? What's his relationship with the boss? Is the boss not coming back because of him? Where did the boss go?" Bai Mingzhe fired off multiple questions like a questioning machine, bombarding Luohao Yu.

Finally, overwhelmed by the barrage of questions, Luohao Yu explained to everyone about Long Jingze going to Yalan Star before the start of the semester to pick up Xiao Qingyang. He then speculated that the boss might have taken Xiao Qingyang to their secret base.

"That's impossible! Didn't we agree that the secret base is only for bringing partners?" Bai Mingzhe was the first to express doubt.

Luohao Yu shrugged and raised his hands, indicating that they could believe it or not.

And so, they ended up at the secret base, coincidentally appearing just when Long Jingze wanted to be alone with Xiao Qingyang. They became the shining extras in their special moment.
