Two Old Bean Sprouts

Half an hour ago, in Han Mingxuan's home in Nostramo.

"Talos, has the news been released?"

"Yes, Uncle, the news has already been released. When do we release the official announcement?"

"No rush. The Imperium's appointment of Warmaster is definitely based on the Emperor's word. We'll just wait."

"Uncle, excuse me."

"Madian's here, sit down."

"Uncle, I won't sit down. Someone is looking for you."

"Someone's looking for me? Who?"

"According to our intelligence analysis, he is Black Bean Sprouts, and a Haemonculus. I just asked him, and he said his name is Urien Lacas."

Urien Lacas?

This guy is a well-known veteran among Black Bean Sprouts.

"Interesting. Why did he suddenly come looking for me? Where is he now?"

"They're already waiting outside, Uncle."

"As expected of an old bean sprout, you're fast enough to get here without a sound."

"In fact, Uncle, that old bean sprout was captured by your guards, and even before I came to tell you, the guy was thoroughly disinfected."

"Oh? Old Kamon and he can handle that? They can even catch this old bean sprout."

Upon hearing this, Madian remained silent for a moment, and Han Mingxuan could tell at a glance that this guy had relapsed into his old habits.

"You've always had this problem of speaking in a lot of breath, are you constipated? Just finish what you were saying!"

"Yes! Almost at the same time that old bean sprout arrived, a woman Xarathi Sharasi also arrived. It was that woman who helped Old Kamon capture him."

Xarathi?

What an unexpectedly lively day! The Aeldari old bean sprout has arrived, and so has the Greater Daemon under Slaanesh's command.

"Have that old bean sprout wait outside the door, and call Xarathi in."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Xarathi walked in. Han Mingxuan looked at Xarathi now and was somewhat surprised.

"It seems her transformation has been very successful, to the point that you've changed so much too."

Because the current form of the Xarathi can only be described as a combination of all that is true, good, and beautiful.

"Sir, you flatter me. It is all because of your salvation."

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. Tell me, why did you come with that old bean sprout?"

Upon hearing Han Mingxuan's direct question, Xarathi did not hesitate and answered truthfully.

"I came to find you on my master's orders. She is getting ready right now and will come in person later. As for that old bean sprout, I just happened to run into him."

Oh?

This is getting interesting, this is really interesting.

"Talos, prepare a few dishes to entertain our guests."

"Clear."

Seeing his Uncle's dangerous smile, Talos knew that the old bean sprout outside was about to suffer a lot.

However, since it was his Uncle who did this, he, as the nephew, could only watch the show.

Soon, everything was prepared.

Immediately afterward, Han Mingxuan tidied his clothes and went outside to meet the Haemonculus.

"I have long admired your name, Prophet Urien."

"No, no, Father of Night, please don't flatter this old man."

"I'm not just being polite. After all, you've lived a long life and have enough experience; fame is inevitable."

"Although I don't know why you've come to see me, since you're a guest from afar, let's sit down and chat."

Urien glanced at Xarathi behind Han Mingxuan again and again.

Seeing this scene, Han Mingxuan's lips curled into a smile.

"What, you've taken a fancy to my guest?"

Upon hearing Han Mingxuan's words, Urien felt like dying.

He had foreseen the most Despair future for the Drukhari.

We came here to seek A Sliver of Life for the Drukhari.

But heaven knows, the Father of Night's words were terrifying.

The one standing behind him is none other than the Xarathi!

How could I possibly have any improper thoughts about that person? That would be nothing short of suicide!

"Sir, please don't joke with me like that again. I've come here to ask you for a favor."

"You need something from me?"

"What? Do you Drukhari hold a grudge and want to drag me back to dissect me for research?"

Bang.

The moment Han Mingxuan uttered those words, Xarathi's eyes turned extremely dangerous.

At that moment, Urien collapsed to the ground, then scrambled to his knees before Han Mingxuan.

"Sir, please have mercy and stop making such jokes! This old man has a weak heart!"

"No, get up first."

"If you don't agree, this old man will stay kneeling and won't get up."

If the Father of Night makes such a joke again, then the chief Greater Daemon under Slaanesh will surely disembowel him and turn his soul into a carpet.

There's no way around it; after all, Slaanesh was born from the excessive indulgence of the Aeldari, so the Greater Daemon under Slaanesh's command are Aeldari.

"Alright, I won't joke like that with an old man like you again, you can rest assured."

"Thank you for your forgiveness Father of Night."

Immediately afterwards, the group of people sat down at the table one by one, but strangely, the seat next to Xarathi was left empty.

And now, the Father of Night has made no comment on the vacant position.

At this moment, Urien couldn't help but wonder what kind of being could make the Xarathi leave its position vacant.

Could it be...?

"My Mr. Han, it's been so long. You've aged so much; it truly saddens me."

Ta-da!

It's over.

The Dark Prince himself has come?!

Then it was noticed that Slaanesh was not sitting in the seat reserved for the Xarathi.

Instead, she sat down next to Han Mingxuan.

"People always get old, that's normal."

"But no matter how you change, your attraction to me remains unparalleled, sir. You only get more charming with age."

Hearing Slaanesh say that, Han Mingxuan frowned, because it reminded him of a certain thunderous boy.

"Xarathi."

"Exist."

There's an old guy outside the Peaceful Star System; bring him along too.

"Yes."

What's that old thing outside the Peaceful Star System?

Upon hearing Slaanesh's words, Urien couldn't help but wonder who it was.

"You seem to be doing very well."

"After all, I spent almost half a year with you, and during that time, my transformation was the fastest and most stable."

Oh, I see.

"But speaking of which, what's going on today? The entire Aeldari has come here?"

"Sir, I have no interest in why those two old men came, but I'm here for you, for your safety."

"Humanity is undoubtedly the protagonist in this era and for a long time to come."

"Now, with the fate of Humanity's Fate in turmoil, I must ensure your safety."

"Slaanesh, I told you a long time ago that there are some things I have to do."
