"If I told you, you definitely wouldn't agree. Besides, this is a surprise! How could I tell you beforehand?"
Looking at Quinn's sincere face, Lia strongly suspected that this was an idea Quinn had come up with last night to threaten his subordinates.
The two walked along the flower-lined path to the backyard, Lia was already thinking about how to deal with the roses... Ah! I've got it!
" Quinn, would you mind if I dried it and used it for a bath?"
Quinn nodded, blurting out the word "wife." Why did he always want to call Lia his wife? He'd even recently dreamt of a completely different world from interstellar society, with Lia in it... Lia would hug his neck, act all cute, kiss him, and do things that made his heart race...
Lost in his memories, Quinn was completely unaware that his ears and even his neck had turned a light red.
Lia smiled and asked, " Quinn, what are you thinking about now?"
Quinn turned his head and saw Lia's white eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyes fixed on him, her gaze filled with nothing but him.
"I think we must have been lovers in our past lives."
Lia was completely overwhelmed by Quinn's straight shot; her heart pounded, and she covered her face with her free hand, yelling, " Quinn, stop saying such romantic things!"
Quinn: "Okay, that's enough. Lia is so cute."
Lia: "..." He felt like he was the only race that was good for nothing except being cute. No, he could also eat and sleep.
Do I need to respond to your confession to me?
"I've already responded. I said I have a partner and will get married in the future, and I posted it on the Academy of Sciences of Sciences' official website. No one will introduce me to anyone anymore, so don't worry."
"What? A lot of people are trying to set you up with potential partners? Ah, that makes sense, after all, you're so outstanding, there are plenty of orcs who would like you..." Lia's voice trailed off, her voice tinged with bitterness, and as it reached Quinn's ears, it caused a pang of heartache.
"I've never met them. I've always refused. No one can interfere in my life. If someone does, it's already over."
Seeing Quinn's smug look, Lia realized that what he said was true. With the Quinn family's power, changing emperors in a matter of minutes wouldn't be a problem.
But strangely, the royal family seemed to be particularly lenient with the Quinn family, often even openly protecting them. Wasn't the emperor afraid that their achievements would overshadow his own?
" Quinn, your family seems to have a good relationship with royalty?"
Quinn stopped, and Lia stopped as well. She watched as Quinn bent down to pick a thornless rose for him, placed it in his hand, and said slowly, "The current emperor is my uncle."
Lia: "..." Some orcs are just born arrogant and domineering.
Quinn looked on with amusement at Lia's shocked, envious, and slightly jealous expression, then gave him a quick peck on the left cheek and continued with satisfaction, "You don't usually watch the news?"
Lia shook her head. "Before, I was on the edge of the planet. In other words, even if the Central Star cracked open, it wouldn't have been my problem. Now that I'm here, it's only right that I pay attention." After all, his world no longer revolves around just himself, and he wants to have more topics to talk about with Quinn every day.
If he knew nothing about the outside world and had no knowledge, even if Quinn still liked him very much, he would still feel uneasy.
My mother once said: If you want to find powerful orcs, you must have your own resources. Going after stupid behemoths will only make you die faster.
Quinn perfectly fits his criteria and is incredibly handsome. He likes him a lot and will cherish him.
" Lia, may I ask what you've been thinking about lately? Do you want to go back to school?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Quinn regretted it. "No, Lia, if you go to school, you might get kidnapped if you're in heat!"
Hearing this, Lia suddenly remembered the concept of heat. " Quinn, I just turned 18, my heat hasn't started yet..."
Quinn: "I know your attributes; your heat cycle is about once every two months."
Lia: "... I'm not going back to school. I've already learned everything I needed to learn before I turned six."
Now it was Quinn's turn to fall silent.
He gazed at Lia quietly; no wonder his Lia spoke with such maturity.
Sometimes he felt like he wasn't chatting with a newly grown orc, but with a cunning and shrewd old orc.
No, I should say I'm chatting with a retired orc.
Quinn couldn't help but laugh. " Lia, you didn't even have Spiritual Power at six years old. How could you possibly learn anything?"
A smile played on Lia's lips. "Learning isn't just about having a brain, is it?"
Quinn smiled, " Lia, I also like your proud look. What should I do? I still want to devour you whole."
Lia: " Quinn, I advise you not to do this, because after I die I will become a vengeful ghost and come after you!"
The man burst into laughter, "My dear, what ghosts are there in this world? Besides, as a scientist, I don't believe in them at all."
Lia looked at the big, clumsy snake and sighed, "The world is so big, there are always things you don't know, which is why you go out of your way to study it."
Just then, the two were photographed on the flower-lined path.
However, Quinn quickly noticed this. His eyes turned cold, and his Spiritual Power instantly materialized into an ice bow. As soon as the ice arrow was released, the white sphere 30 meters in the air was instantly shot down.
Lia's eyes sparkled. " Quinn! You're so cool!"
The boy hugged his neck and kissed him hard on the cheek.
Quinn's icy face flushed red again, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he asked, " Lia, can we kiss next time...?"
Lia looked at Quinn's sexy and perfect lips, her ears turning bright red as she turned her gaze away. "Let's talk about it next time."
The next second, he changed the subject, turning back to her, "By the way, this is a primitive weapon, a bow and arrow, Quinn, how did you know?"
Quinn scratched his head at Lia's question. " Lia, if I told you I often dream about you, that I've seen you in my dreams, would you believe me?"
Lia paused for a moment, then tilted her head and asked him, " Quinn, when did you dream about me?"
"The dream was a bit blurry before I saw you, but it became clearer and clearer later. Oh right, your name is Luo Beishi, I think I heard someone call you that in my dream."
Hearing this, Lia raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did you call me in your dream?"
Quinn: "..." Oh no, what am I going to do when my orcs are too smart?
"You'll find out later," Quinn kissed his nose again and asked, "And how do you know it's called a bow and arrow?"
Lia: "..." Oh no, what do I do if that big, stupid snake isn't stupid today?
