Because he has always slept inside the Divine Image, Zhuang Zhou never slept together with anyone before.
Ever since the first night when he slept with Wen XiaoYun, where he ended up going into his Divine Image and forgetting to leave ahead of time, he has been extremely careful.
Everyday, he waited until Wen XiaoYun fell asleep before entering the Divine Image.
Right before Wen XiaoYun woke up, he'd come out of the Divine Image and wait for him.
Because of this, in the last half a month, this was actually the first time he's sleeping together with Wen XiaoYun for real.
It was also the first time he's been so… close to someone.
Wen XiaoYun's body temperature was very high. His hand circled around Zhou ZiRou's waist, resting in front of Zhou ZiRou's chest. His palm was very big.
Strong and powerful heartbeats transmitted across their thin clothes. Thud thud, thud thud. He can almost feel the repeated rise and fall there.
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but reach out and touch his own chest.
His heartbeat seemed a bit faster than before……
He kind of liked this kind of feeling, yet also felt a bit embarrassed.
With Zhuang Zhou's movement, Wen XiaoYun's voice sounded behind him.
"What's the matter?"
Zhuang Zhou wetted his lips and said in a small voice: "Somewhat unused to this."
Wen XiaoYun's voice was very soft: "You've never slept together with anyone before?"
Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "No."
Wen XiaoYun smiled briefly: "That's pretty good."
Zhuang Zhou didn't understand: "En?"
The hand that Wen XiaoYun placed around Zhuang Zhou's waist explored upward slightly, landing on the top of his head. Patting him lightly, Wen XiaoYun said: "I'm saying you're very well-behaved."
Zhuang Zhou thought that he wouldn't be able to sleep. This was a new experience after all. Unexpectedly, as he kept his eyes closed, he really did end up falling asleep.
Because he didn't need to grant anyone dreams other than Wen XiaoYun, after this night, Zhuang Zhou's divine powers recovered completely.
Right now, his ability to recover divine powers was very fast. The people on battleship Wyvern were basically all his followers. It was very favorable for him to be here.
When he opened his eyes, Wen XiaoYun still had his eyes closed.
He had woken up in Wen XiaoYun's arms. The two people embraced face to face. The Divine Image that was in his arms already got lost to who knew where.
Zhaung Zhou used his divine powers to sense around. He discovered the Divine Image behind him, pressed against the wall. It wasn't that far from him. On the contrary, Wen XiaoYun was pretty much face to face with him.
The other's light soft breath landed on his face. This kind of feeling was very strange.
The closed-eyed Wen XiaoYun looked as gentle as usual. He always seemed so calm, with such clear purpose, like nothing made him feel anxious or worried, or let him lose his reason and intelligence.
Wen XiaoYun was really very good looking, at least in Zhuang Zhou's eyes. Wen XiaoYun was the best looking person he has ever seen.
Zhuang Zhou sighed somewhat enviously.
If he looked like this, he could imitate other wealth gods and become a celebrity. Then he'd have many many fans, right?
"Why the sigh?" Wen XiaoYun suddenly opened his eyes, his deep dark eyes without any signs of sleepiness like someone who had just woken up.
Zhuang Zhou was startled briefly and then gave him a smile: "You're awake."
"En. I felt like you've been looking at me for a while." Wen XiaoYun's voice was very low, somewhat different than usual. It carried a faint husk, sounding very sensual.
Zhuang Zhou's face turned red.
Wen XiaoYun was clearly speaking the truth. He really was examining Wen XiaoYun for quite a while just now.
But hearing these words from the other's mouth strangely made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
He said in a small voice: "I wanted to get up but I was afraid to wake you."
Wen XiaoYun smiled and said: "No need to fear waking me up. I'm very happy to see you first thing in the morning."
Zhuang Zhou slowly replied with an 'oh'.
Wen XiaoYun asked him: "Do you want to get up now?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded his head and shifted slightly. Touching something, he started feeling somewhat embarrassed again.
They were too close right now. His entire person seemed almost plastered against Wen XiaoYun. Wen XiaoYun had a hand around his waist, holding it tightly. His other hand came in upwards, heading down, and pressed against his back.
Wen XiaoYun suddenly said: "Zhou Zhou, can I use intergalactic etiquette with you? I don't want to offend you so I wanted to ask you first."
Zhuang Zhou was confused: "Is there some kind of special intergalactic etiquette?"
Lately, he's seen plenty of intergalactic documentaries and history videos.
However, he still didn't study the area of etiquette yet.
Wen XiaoYun said: "There's plenty of intergalactic etiquette to pay close attention to. Especially on the side of the Empire. You may not know about them because you came from a remote planet."
Zhuang Zhou nodded: "Alright."
Earth also counted as a remote planet right?
If it didn't disappear 2000 years ago that is.
Seeing Zhuang Zhou agree, Wen XiaoYun faintly lowered himself and leaned a little closer. Wen XiaoYun pressed his face against Zhuang Zhou's face.
The little friend's eyes widened faintly. His soft face was smooth, without any blemish. It even carried a very pleasant aroma.
"Just like this."
The two pressed their faces together with a smile. Wen XiaoYun backed up slightly: "Good morning, Zhou Zhou."
Zhuang Zhou's face flushed red, suddenly completely at a loss.
Then, he understood very quickly.
This seemed similar to the etiquettes from some Western nations?
Nuzzling faces, kissing the back of hands, and even kissing each other on the cheek.
Wasn't he making a fuss over nothing then?
Didn't this make him seem like an inexperienced and unknowledgeable God of Wealth!
Zhuang Zhou can only feign a calm and unperturbed appearance: "En en, good morning....."
After the two people got up, Zhuang Zhou made a show saying he's fine with just eating the nutritional protein and didn't go to the dining hall. After Wen XiaoYun left, he started flipping through the galactic net, searching for etiquette classes for different nations within the universe.
An Eastern Wealth God can't allow themselves to be unaware of this kind of knowledge!
After that, he began to memorize all of the contents within the etiquette classes to avoid not understanding basic courtesy in the future.
As he read, the unlocked door was pushed open. Cheng JinXue's voice traveled inside: "Zhou Zhou, what are you doing?"
Zhuang Zhou turned his head back. Seeing Cheng JinXue, he said: "I'm learning the etiquette of the Empire."
Cheng JinXue clicked his tongue: "What's the use of learning that? It's not like you're an aristocrat. There's no need to be concerned with all of that!
Zhuang Zhou asked: "Only aristocrats need to learn this?"
Cheng JinXue: "Not exactly. We have etiquette classes in military school too. However, only aristocrats valued this. Gruff men like us...…"
Speaking here, Cheng JinXue paused briefly, and looked at Zhuang Zhou's delicate little face. That unconscious aura of nobility that he emitted... Now he really did seem like some lost aristocrat's child.
Therefore, Cheng JinXue silently corrected himself: "Gruff men like me have no use for that kind of thing."
Zhuang Zhou nodded his head, indicating his understanding.
Cheng JinXue asked suspiciously: "Little Zhou Zhou, how come you suddenly gained interest in this?"
Zhuang Zhou recalled the intimacy before and blushed. However, since it didn't involve his secret identity, he wouldn't lie usually. Therefore, he said honestly: "Because...… A while ago Wen XiaoYun asked me if he could use intergalactic etiquette with me...…"
Cheng JinXue: "...…."
Cheng JinXue cursed silently.
You really couldn't tell this was the same Boss who, in the past, would rather get beaten to death than date someone; the same Boss who made people think he'd spend the rest of his life with a mecha.
Who would have thought that once this old tree blossomed, he was inappropriate enough to try bearing fruit right on the spot.
Cheng JinXue gave a soft cough and said slowly: "Hey Zhou Zhou, what do you think of the Boss?"
Zhuang Zhou didn't understand: "He's very good."
"Then do you think the person who marries Boss…… will be happy?"
"Definitely." Zhuang Zhou said without even thinking: "Wen XiaoYun is so impressive and such a good person, there must be a lot of girls who want to marry him."
Since Zhuang Zhou already said this……
If Zhou Zhou didn't have a very good impression of Boss, Cheng JinXue really would have exposed the Boss's perverted heart then and there!
But since Zhou Zhou also felt Boss was good, this meant that Zhou Zhou didn't dislike Boss's intimacy!
"Actually……" Cheng JinXue said: "We have a lot of etiquette in the Empire that is only taught privately by aristocrats. Naturally you won't be able to find them on the galactic web. You can have Boss teach you instead!"
With these interactions, wouldn't their feelings intensify even faster!
Zhuang Zhou said skeptically: "There are others?"
"Of course." Cheng JinXue said: "However, you don't need to search for them. In anycase, when the time comes, you can just ask Boss to teach you. Let's go go go. I came to find you for something. Do you still remember the mecha creator I told you about previously, the great master Ge LuEn? His spaceship has landed. Let's go find him!"
Zhuang Zhou's attention shifted very quickly. His eyes instantly lit up: "Another spaceship arrived?!"
Seeing his eyes shining brightly, Cheng JinXue said with a smile: "That's right. Looks like you are also eager to see the great master, Ge LuEn!"
Zhuang Zhou enthusiastically nodded his head. Of course he wanted to. This was…… a new customer!!
After many toils and hardships, the great master Ge LuEn finally arrived at B-324.
Because the spaceship that he took wasn't a military grade battleship, and it was only a small scale spaceship, it can only warp jump once every two days. This trip took a total of half a month for him to reach his destination.
After getting off the spaceship and putting on his protective gear, Ge LuEn hastily rushed towards battleship Wyvern, extremely looking forward to seeing Zhuang Zhou.
Wen XiaoYun arrived in person to welcome Ge LuEn.
However, Ge LuEn had no interest in seeing Wen XiaoYun at all.
"Walk faster. Get on the battleship. Is your family's little friend inside the battleship?"
Wen XiaoYun was somewhat exasperated: "En. What's the rush? It's not like he'll run away."
After getting on battleship Wyvern, Ge LuEn didn't even see the little friend that he's been yearning for before stopping in his tracks. With an extremely strange expression on his face, he stared at the scene in front of him, like he just saw a ghost or something.
Inside the biggest activity room of battleship Wyvern, there were a total of over 30 crew members of the 3rd Legion standing together in neat rows. Each person held three incense sticks in their hands. Gaze extremely focused and expression pious, they faced an incense burner that was about half the height of a person and kowtowed three times.
"God of Wealth, bless me--"
"God of Wealth, bless me--"
"God of Wealth, bless me--"
Yelling this chant in unison, the crowd piously inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner, every single movement solemn and grave as if they were meeting the Emperor himself.
Ge LuEn: ".......?"
He subconsciously took a step back, returning to Wen XiaoYun's side. His aged face gained a hint of horror: "Wen XiaoYun, did we arrive at the site of a large heretic cult?"
Wen XiaoYun: "........"
