Chapter 7

As a soldier, Jiang Yue has developed the military routine into a habit that is ingrained in his bones and is extremely regular and unbreakable.

He opened his eyes and stood up before dawn, and after quickly washing up, this imperial major general who had no hesitation in the face of bullets and shells, a man who had always considered simplicity and practicality and did not pay attention to his appearance and dress up deliberately, hesitated in front of the wardrobe for the first time and fell silent.

“…”

Her fingers passed over the loose casual clothes, picked up a piece that was relatively more design-conscious and highlighted her figure, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she quickly put it on.

The slightly tight black clothes showed off his perfect figure. He even looked in the mirror for the first time before going downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen, called up the recipe I had chosen last night from the smart brain, took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, and started to make breakfast following the steps in the instructional video.

From the kitchen came the sounds of pots and pans, full of the flavor of life. From the burnt black smoke at the beginning, an enticing aroma gradually emanated.

Until the morning light shines through the glass, onto the cooking world and the tall, focused figure, heralding the warm start of the day.

When it was fully light, Li Zhi woke up, rubbed his eyes, and slowly sat up.

This was the first night she spent conscious since arriving in this interstellar beast world.

When I opened my eyes and saw the princess-like dream room in front of me, I couldn’t help but be stunned. Complex feelings surged in my heart. After digesting them, I cheered myself up.

Welcome to a new life, be happy and cheer up, Li Zhi, you can do it!
After washing up, she picked out a white puffy princess dress from the various dresses in her filled closet and put it on. As soon as she went downstairs, she smelled the fragrant aroma of food.

Following the scent, I walked to the restaurant, where a sumptuous breakfast was already served on the table.

Crispy toast, two kinds of fried eggs, one fried on one side and one fried on the other side, fragrant bacon and sausage, vegetable and fruit salad, hot milk and aromatic coffee.

Seeing her coming down, Jiang Yue sat quietly at the table, his body straight as if waiting for the teacher to mark his homework. A hint of surprise flashed in his black eyes, as if he didn’t expect her to wake up so early.

“Wow, it smells so good!” Li Zhi’s eyes sparkled and she waved at Jiang Yue with a smile: “Jiang Yue, good morning~!”

Jiang Yue was so shocked by the bright smile and the sweet and happy praise that his breath was choked. He pursed his lips lightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and nodded calmly: “Good morning, Li Zhi.”

His heart couldn’t help but pound in his chest. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his ordinary home was like being cast under a spell, and it suddenly became bright and glorious.

The dull, depressing and bleak days all become colorful and warm because of her existence.

“Good morning, Oguri Zhi~”

Su Jing lazily came down from the guest room on the second floor. He was wearing a white silk shirt with mercerized fabric. It was soft and flowing, with an elegant yet streamlined cut. It was full of aristocratic feeling and as exquisite and gorgeous as ever.

Seeing the rich and nutritious breakfast on the table, her eyes slightly raised, a gleam flashed in her peach blossom eyes, and she glanced at Jiang Yue meaningfully.

Imperial males rarely cook their own meals.

Single males who are a little more particular will order a housekeeping robot to take care of it. But people like Jiang Yue who are always on the move and pursue efficiency and hassle-free life the most usually just drink nutritional supplements to make things easier.

Only males who serve as guardians or partners will learn and cook personally in order to take care of and please their females.

Su Jing sneered.

Tsk, burn the wolf.

He walked to the seat next to Li Zhi and sat down. He reached out for a piece of toast without any hesitation, spread jam on it slowly and elegantly, and then handed it to Li Zhi.

Then he supported his face with one hand, fixed his gaze on her, and his peach blossom eyes showed seductive ripples.

“Xiao Li Zhi, I’ll take you to the research institute for a checkup after you finish eating.”

Li Zhi bit the sweet toast and nodded, her voice was also very sweet: “Okay~”

Jiang Yue watched the interaction between the two, his slender fingers resting lightly on his legs, slightly tightening and relaxing. Noticing that Li Zhi was about to finish her toast, he silently picked up the hot milk and placed it next to her.

Li Zhi was a little thirsty after finishing the bread, so he picked it up and drank a sip, then bowed his eyebrows and said softly, “Thank you~”

Ah, what a soft and cute little female!
Su Jing and Jiang Yue’s hearts softened again. Their eyes met and then immediately looked away.

After the three of them leisurely finished their breakfast, they went out and got in the car and drove to the research institute, a spire-shaped building that still used the silver metal material commonly used in the interstellar space, just like the Louvre in Paris on Earth.

Next to it is a vast primeval forest with diverse vegetation, towering trees, dense bushes, wide grasslands, and waterfalls cascading down from the cliffs. Occasionally, there are wild beasts and roars and shouts.

How could there be such a place in the city center? It looks completely different from the modern city and seems out of place and very special.

Su Jing noticed Li Zhi’s curious look and took the initiative to explain to her: “That’s the supervision center.”

“Supervision office?”

“Well, when males lose control and transform into beasts, they will be locked up in a detention center to prevent them from being unable to control their beastly nature and harming citizens. If you are interested, I will take you to see it next time. The environment inside is quite good~”

Su Jing led her into the gate of the research institute as he spoke. Once inside, Li Zhi once again accepted and gradually got used to the fiery gazes from males that she would receive wherever she went, and she could now face it relatively calmly.

All the males in the institute looked at the pretty little female with sparkling eyes, watching Su Jing and Jiang Yue bring Li Zhi into the laboratory. Only after the metal door closed did they reluctantly look away. “Wow, the director actually brought a little female to the institute!”

“The director is not important, what’s important is that the major general is here too!”

“Who is this little female? She has two excellent S-level males protecting her and she even came to the research institute for testing. She must be of a very high level!”

“Could it be possible that the Empire could produce another S-rank female?!”

In the laboratory, Su Jing used the most professional equipment in the empire to conduct a more precise test on Li Zhi.

The extremely advanced equipment produced the results in seconds, and the pheromone was still negative.

Su Jing noticed Li Zhi’s calm expression. Even though he couldn’t see anything unusual, he couldn’t help but comfort her: “Don’t worry, I’ve already taken samples for subsequent project research.”

“As long as I’m alive, I will try my best to find a solution, believe me.”

He emphasized his tone, and his peach blossom eyes, which were usually casual and lazy, flashed with determination and even paranoia.

It doesn’t seem to be just for Li Zhi.

“okay, thank you!”

The three of them did not stay long and turned to leave the institute.

Looking at the backs of two tall and handsome males protecting a little female as they left, the male researchers present looked at each other and pushed and shoved each other.

“Hey, what level is that little female?”

“The system has synchronized data, go and take a look.”

“I won’t go, you go.”

Finally, unable to resist their inner curiosity, one male took the lead, and all the males followed, and together they took a quick look at the test results in the system, and were immediately stunned.

“Am I seeing things? How can pheromones be nothing?”

“You read that right. It is indeed nothing.”

A male pushed up his glasses and said seriously, “The pheromone shows no. As far as we know, there are two situations.”

“One is the collapse and disintegration caused by the backlash of pheromones, you know.”

He pointed towards the direction of the research institute, and the heroes immediately showed expressions of understanding and regret.

“There is another situation where there is no—” The male stretched out his voice and revealed the answer: “The system cannot detect it.”

“what!”

The researchers who had been listening attentively suddenly snorted.

“You might as well not say anything. How can this be possible? The equipment at the institute can detect SS-level pheromones at most. How can it be impossible that it can’t detect them?”

Someone said weakly, “The highest level we can detect is SS level, so shouldn’t SSS level pheromones be undetectable?”

The person who asked the question was immediately met with countless cold stares.

“SSS-level pheromones? What are you thinking about! From the beginning of creation to now, only the former Queen has SSS-level pheromones, and it has only appeared once in all these years! Do you think this little female has it?”

“Uh.” The male who was mocked by the crowd scratched his head and tried to save face: “I am just curious from a purely academic perspective. If the equipment can’t detect it, how can we determine the SSS-level pheromone?”

“It’s actually very simple. Females have companion plants, and companion plants secrete pheromones. There is only one companion plant with SSS-level pheromones – the tree of life.”

“The Tree of Life! Is it the sacred tree planted by the legendary God of Creation that allowed all things to evolve?”

The male, who looked younger and more immature, was immediately curious: “What does the tree of life look like?”

The oldest male looked nostalgic and said slowly, “The Tree of Life. I saw it once when I was very young.”

“It was a golden, sacred and magnificent tree. When the Queen was here, she wore a white dress and stood on the tall sacred tree, surrounded by people from all over the universe who came to worship her.”

“Unfortunately, after the great war that year, the Queen died, and the Tree of Life gradually withered and became a dead tree guarded by the God’s Messenger in the forbidden area of ​​the Imperial Palace. No one has ever seen it since.”

“How powerful are SSS-level pheromones?”

“I don’t know. No one knows. I just heard that SSS-level pheromones and the Tree of Life, as beings with the ability to create the world, are different from ordinary pheromones.”

While everyone was talking, no one noticed that the supervision office next to the research institute was located in the carefully built woods and grass.

Those ferocious and violent beasts actually lay down obediently and looked at Li Zhi from afar.
