Chapter 121 Completely Different Treatment
"Allison, what happened? Are you alright?" Wen Shumu was startled by Allison's tearful appearance.
Ling Suyu also frowned.
"Waaah, Madam, Marshal, waaah..." Allison pulled out a tissue from the side and wiped his nose. As a butler, he shouldn't have made such an "unseemly" gesture in front of his master, but this time he just couldn't help himself.
Is this planet Fuluo incompatible with the Marshal and his wife? First, the wife broke ties with the Wen family, then there was an attack by a strange beast, and Hek said the Marshal was even injured!
Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of tenderness in each other's eyes.
They understood that the usually composed butler was acting this way because he was genuinely worried about them.
Ling Suyu said, "Allison, we're fine. We'll be setting off back to the Imperial Star today."
Wen Shumu chimed in, "I want to eat strawberry mousse, so I'll have to ask Allison to prepare it for me."
Allison immediately perked up, like a flower refreshed by water: "That's wonderful! If you have any other needs, please let me know."
"Okay, I'll message you when I think of something," Wen Shumu said with a smile.
After confirming that they were both safe and sound, Allison ended the call, noticing that there was noodles on the table and that the two were about to have a meal, so he didn't want to disturb them too much.
"Does it still hurt?" Ling Suyu asked softly.
"What?" Wen Shumu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered his mouth, his face slightly red. "N-no, it doesn't hurt anymore, you can eat now."
He quickly picked up his chopsticks and started eating his noodles, too embarrassed to look up.
Ling Suyu chuckled softly, her icy eyes filled with endless tenderness.
After finishing his meal, Wen Shumu thought of a very serious question, and his expression became solemn.
He squinted slightly: "Brother, how long has it been since you slept?"
Ling Suyu's long eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes darting around, and her tone carried a hint of uncertainty: "The last time I slept was probably... the night before last?"
Wen Shumu thought about it and realized that it made sense. It had taken all night to exterminate the alien beasts, and Heke said that Ling Suyu was in a meeting this morning and definitely didn't have time to rest.
He pushed Ling Suyu into the bathroom and looked at Alpha with pleading eyes: "I want to sleep, but I can't sleep without you here."
Ling Suyu paused for a moment, then quickly walked into the bathroom.
When he came out of the bathroom, the Omega who said he couldn't sleep alone was already wrapped in a blanket, resting his head on his pillow, and sleeping soundly.
Ling Suyu adjusted the indoor lighting, and the cool white light gradually dimmed, creating a dim yet cozy atmosphere suitable for sleep.
The fierceness in his eyes had long since faded. He quietly lay down next to Wen Shumu, looking at the Omega's sleeping face, his thick eyelashes casting gentle shadows under the soft light.
The young marshal had long forgotten that his wife and the Sixth Army Corps Commander Denik had both advised him to rest, yet he received completely different treatment.
He was just thinking, "Wow, this bedroom can be so warm."
After watching for an unknown amount of time, Ling Suyu propped himself up on his elbows, lowered his head and kissed Wen Shumu's forehead. Then he and Wen Shumu lay on the same pillow, their breaths mingling as they drifted off to sleep.

When Wen Shumu woke up, he stared at the unfamiliar metal ceiling and was dazed for a long time. It was only the faint, cool fragrance lingering in the space that finally brought him back to his senses.
I originally planned to wait for Ling Suyu to finish showering before we went to sleep together, but he fell asleep first!
A hint of regret flashed across Wen Shumu's face. Fortunately, in his half-awake state, he vaguely sensed that someone was lying beside him, so his brother must have already fallen asleep.
He didn't sit up immediately. Instead, he popped up the projector to check the time and found that he had slept from morning until evening.
Ling Suyu wasn't in the room; he was probably busy with something else.
Wen Shumu lay in bed and browsed the StarNet for a while, mostly discussing the current situation of Fuluo Star.
Many border planets have been attacked by alien beasts, but none have received such attention from the entire interstellar community as Flora in recent years.
The planet Flora has a large population, including many celebrities and online influencers who wield significant influence on social media.
There are some fearless people who don't run away when monsters come; they even hide in corners and record videos.
Many years have passed, and the older generation of ordinary people have long forgotten the ferocious appearance of the strange beasts, not to mention the younger generation, many of whom do not pay attention to such news.
But at this moment, they could clearly feel the terror of the strange beast through the video.
Oh my god... my legs went weak just watching this.
If I were there, I would be so scared I'd collapse to the ground, unable to move.
[This blogger is awesome, they even dared to film a video.]
I always thought the mythical creatures in TV dramas and anime were too exaggerated, but now it seems I was being far too conservative.
[Is this the kind of thing Marshal Ling and his men are fighting?]
[I saw a military blogger analyze that the incredibly powerful Deep Blue mech is actually Marshal Ling's Liebing.]
[Are you talking about that mech that can blast alien beasts to pieces with a single shot? I've seen it in several live videos.]
[If Marshal Ling weren't here, the casualties on Planet Fuluo would definitely not be in the double digits.]
Wen Shumu frowned involuntarily as he searched for details about the planet Fuluo.
53 people were injured and 17 died.
According to reports, most of the victims were people who did not immediately flee to the shelter because of their valuables and collections, including several well-known artists.
Wen Shumu's expression went blank for a moment.
Last night...they were so close to death.

Most of Melville is always lit up, ensuring ample light.
In contrast, there are also some gloomy and cold rooms, such as interrogation rooms.
The black-haired Alpha, dressed in a marshal's uniform with a single cape hanging down his side, looked down at the Metef family heir, who was handcuffed to his seat.
Joel's usually handsome face was now contorted in a grimace: "What right do you have to arrest me?"
The thought of being detained by a group of lowly people in front of so many people, especially in front of Wen Boshuang, made him furious.
Ling Suyu remained silent, but Meng Ji, standing to the side, said, "Joel Metef, you privately purchased Ruocangzhi and repeatedly released it on border planets, attracting alien beasts. Tell me, why are you being arrested?"
Joel raised his chin: "I'm a high-ranking nobleman, why would I buy that kind of thing? Do you have any proof? Don't make baseless accusations!"
He believed he was cautious in his actions, using dark web aliases at every step, whether it was purchasing or finding someone to place the beast, and never revealing his true identity. After the beast arrived, he would send trusted confidants to destroy any traces of Ruocangzhi. Even if Ling Suyu and the others guessed something, they probably wouldn't be able to obtain any evidence.
"Evidence?" Ling Suyu looked at him coldly. "What kind of evidence do you want? Is it the evidence that you bought Ruocangzhi's ID and transaction records on the dark web, or the activity logs of the people you sent to Ninoto to destroy Ruocangzhi's records?"
Joel was horrified.
This is impossible!
Job clearly stated at the time that all traces had been destroyed, and even just yesterday, he confirmed through location tracking that Job had gone to the Federation and was safe.
Ling Suyu seemed to know what he was thinking, and raised a terminal, waving it in the air.
Joel's gaze was fixed on the terminal, his eyes wide with fury.
He was very familiar with this terminal; he had it specially modified so that it could be used to locate his subordinates' positions in real time.
