Chapter 2 - Prince Luo Fei
Chapter 2 - Prince Luo Fei
After Luo Fei walked out of the conference hall, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his father was open-minded and didn’t force a fiancee on him, otherwise he really didn’t know how he would deal with an omega he lacked an emotional foundation with.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away.
Luo Fei smiled and turned around: “Little brother, don’t hide.”
As soon as his words fell, a head poked out from behind the huge stone pillar. The little boy was about six years old, with a cute fleshy face, and his big and bright eyes blinked vigorously at Luo Fei. Behind him was a young man with a gentle temperament, dressed casually in a shirt and trousers, walking forward with a calm expression.
Luo Fei walked over and said helplessly, “Luo Ning, why are you here?”
The Second Prince Luo Ning gently rubbed the little boy’s head, and said: “Little brother heard that father was looking for you, so he insisted on dragging me over to eavesdrop.”
The child retorted: “Obviously you wanted to come and eavesdrop…”
Before he could finish speaking, the Second Prince covered his mouth with his hands. The little prince could only keep his eyes wide open and groan in an aggrieved way.
Luo Fei knew that his younger brother was worried about him, so he couldn’t help hugging his shoulders, and said in a low voice: “Don’t worry, father has promised to abolish the genetic screening system; our marriage will be decided by ourselves in the future. Besides, you are my twin brother, Brother1capitalized as he’s referring to himself as the elder royal brother will personally check your future partner for you.”
Luo Ning frowned. “Brother, don’t talk nonsense, I never thought of getting married.”
Luo Fei smiled lightly, and changed the subject: “Where’s sister?”
Luo Ning was a little helpless. “She runs around like a lunatic all day long. I don’t know where she went.”
“Hmm.” Humming, Luo Fei walked forward side by side with his younger brothers.
***
The First Prince Luo Fei and the Second Prince Luo Ning are a pair of fraternal twins. Luo Fei is an alpha and Luo Ning is an omega.
Later, because His Majesty Xize wanted a daughter, Lin Yuan gave birth to an omega daughter, the third princess. It’s just that the third princess doesn’t resemble an omega at all. She’s lively, mischievous, and very talkative. No one can control her. As for the youngest prince, he was an accident, and was just born a few years ago. As such, he’s only six years old, and is too far behind his siblings in age. Everyone dotes on this little brother, almost turning him into a family mascot.
At this time, the little boy’s eyes shone brightly as he held Luo Fei’s hand, begging: “Big brother, was your vacation approved? Where are you going to play, can you take me with you?”
Luo Fei glanced at him: “No.”
He immediately hugged his thigh with a sad face: “Take me! I will be obedient!”
Luo Fei patted his younger brother on the head and pushed him off his body: “You are only six years old. Be good, and stay in the palace obediently.”
Pursing his lips, the little boy could only follow behind his elder brother with his head drooping, looking very unhappy.
The three brothers walked all the way to the queen’s bedroom.
As soon as he entered the door, a sharp palm wind hit his face, Luo Fei immediately avoided sideways like a conditioned reflex, but his opponent did not intend to let him go. His right leg swept across suddenly, forcing Luo Fei to take a step back, followed closely by a hand trying to grab Luo Fei’s shoulder as he retreated.
This set of movements is smooth and fluid. Luo Fei sighed – even after being the father of four children, he’s still so violent!
He’s indeed the warrior queen2male queen or queen? – the term is gender neutral in this book worshiped by omegas throughout the empire.
Feeling helpless, Luo Fei didn’t dare to neglect his feet. Bending down quickly, he nimbly dodged the outstretched hand, and then took a step back to the left, avoiding his attack range.
Lin Yuan saw his son dodging quickly, so he withdrew his hand without interest, and reluctantly praised: “Your response is not bad.”
Luo Fei smiled and said, “Do you have to greet your son in this way every time, dad?”
Lin Yuan is the first male omega queen in the history of the empire. It stands to reason that the princes should call him ‘queen mother’, but Lin Yuan dislikes this title. He prefers the children to call him ‘dad’. Luo Fei, Luo Ning, and their siblings have been used to calling him ‘dad’ since they were kids, which makes their relationship seem closer as well.
Facing his son’s flattering expression, Lin Yuan’s brows relaxed slightly, and he said, “I moved just now to test your reaction speed. Although the teacher who taught you martial arts has been praising you, compared to your father, you are still far behind.”
Luo Fei hurriedly nodded and said, “Of course, I will continue practicing.”
Lin Yuan turned around and sat down on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and asked, “I heard that you have applied for a vacation with your father?”
The news spread really fast. Obviously, father would not hide anything from dad.
Luo Fei said calmly: “That’s right, I want to go out and have a look.”
Lin Yuan asked, “Have you made any plans?”
Luo Fei said: “I want to go to Lyra first, and then to the planet Ryan where dad grew up. Since I have a lot of time, I want to take the opportunity to go to a few more places and enrich my knowledge.”
Lin Yuan asked, “Do you need to be accompanied by the royal guard?”
Luo Fei smiled and shook his head. “It’s not necessary, is it? It feels strange being followed by a group of people. I want to go alone.”
Surprisingly, Lin Yuan didn’t object, but nodded and said, “Well, actually, I don’t want to send someone from the Royal Guard to protect you either. You are an alpha, and you have received the best education since you were a child. In addition to the S-level smart mech by your side, if you can’t protect yourself, you don’t deserve to be in your position.”
Luo Fei smiled and said, “Dad is right.”
Lin Yuan: “…”
His son is really good. He doesn’t refute anything he says, and probably knows that the consequence of refuting is getting beaten.
Seeing his smiling face, which seemed to contain the shadow of his father, King Xize, when he was younger, Lin Yuan felt a little emotional. He stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, “You have grown up, and should learn to be independent. You can treat this time going out alone as an experience. I believe that even if you encounter trouble, you can make the best judgment. Go, remember to come back on time.”
Luo Fei nodded: “Understood, dad.”
Hearing this, the small family mascot immediately ran out from behind the pillar: “I want to go too, I want to go with big brother!”
Lin Yuan gave him a blank look. “You will only cause chaos if you go. Just stay in the palace and practice your fighting skills. The movements taught by the teacher are as ugly as a sick cat!”
The kid curled his lips, almost bursting into tears.
Lin Yuan gently tugged his ear. “Stop acting. With such acting skills at such a young age, do you want to be a movie star in the future?”
The kid made a face at him, and ran away grinning.
Luo Fei and Luo Ning looked at each other and smiled, and Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile too.
The four children have different personalities. The First Prince, Luo Fei, is mature and steady, calm and unfazed, quite reminiscent of his father’s demeanor. Although the Second Prince is an omega, he doesn’t have the slightest weakness of an omega, and has a gentle temperament. The third princess is lively and mischievous, always coming up with weird ideas. And the youngest son is the most playful, loves pretending, and needs more disciplining.
Seeing the children becoming more and more sensible, Lin Yuan felt a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart.
The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. He and Xize experienced much turmoil when they were young, because the empire was in its most turbulent era. The turmoil has now subsided, and the empire is peaceful and prosperous. After Xize inherited the throne, they had four children in total. He hopes that their children can live in peace and happiness.

Luo Fei returned to his palace and began to pack his luggage.
This was his first time going out alone, and he didn’t have much to bring except for a change of clothes. After all, now that the entire empire is connected to the Internet, he can buy whatever he wants as long as he brings his crystal card3the interstellar form of credit or debit card. Moreover, with Chongming by his side, he wasn’t worried about any accidents.
After he passed the peak 300 mental power test when he was five years old, his father asked the mech design genius, Uncle Brian, to build him a mech. It was named Chongming by Luo Fei himself, because its original shape is very similar to the Chongming bird in mythology. Its huge wings after changing shape allow it to fly faster than most battleships in an instant.
The intelligence of this mech is already comparable to that of humans, and with the firepower equipment equipped on the mech, it’s enough to deal with most unexpected situations. After all, he is a prince, so even if no one is targeting him, he still needs proper precautions.
Luo Fei quickly packed his luggage, and then commanded Chongming: “Check the next spaceship to the Lyra galaxy.”
Chongming’s voice is a very lively and juvenile voice. Every time its owner calls, it will actively jump out to answer: “Master, there are two flights from the nearest space station to the Lyra galaxy. One is on December 21st, departing at 9:00 am. The flight time is 8 hours, and arrives at 17:00 pm, without stopping in the middle. Another trip departs at 12:00 noon, and stays in the Yaoguang Starfield at 17:00 pm for one hour, and arrives in the Lyra galaxy at 21:00.”
Luo Fei thought for a while, and said, “Choose the direct one, and book an ordinary ticket for me.”
Chongming was taken aback. “You are a prince, shouldn’t you book a VIP cabin?”
Luo Fei said: “No, an ordinary ticket is fine. I’m going out alone this time. No one knows my identity as prince, so it’s more comfortable this way.”
Chongming quickly booked a ticket on the official website, and Luo Fei glanced at the screen in front of him to note down the departure time.
The 21st. That’s two days later.
—He can finally leave the palace and experience the outside world.
During these years in the palace, Luo Fei has been living a peaceful life. From birth, someone has already arranged his basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. This formulaic lifestyle is quite boring. Although he never objected to his father’s arrangement on the surface, in his heart, he actually wanted to do some things alone.
This rare holiday must be grasped well.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but look forward to it.

At the same time, Fengyang Group headquarters.
A gentle mechanical voice suddenly sounded: “Master, the database of the group headquarters has just been attacked by an unknown virus.”
The boy lying on the sofa opened his eyes suddenly, and his gaze was as cold as a sword. “Have you found the source?”
The mechanical voice replied: “After the virus was intercepted by the defense network, the other party immediately cleared all traces, just like the previous two times.”
The young man sneered. “The high-end smart mech we developed this time seems to have been targeted by several companies. They’ve been trying to hack into the database and steal data.”
The mechanical voice said: “Has master guessed who it is?”
The young man shook his head. “There are too many competitors, and we can’t identify anyone specific, but they will show their feet sooner or later.” He stood up as he spoke, walked to the table and turned on the optical computer he carried with him. Calmly studying the screen, he quickly tapped his fingers on the light-screen keyboard and entered a series of codes.
With the input of dense codes, the database defense network underwent slight changes, and returned to its original state after a while.
The mechanical voice asked in confusion: “Master, did you leave a loophole in the defense network?”
The teenager pressed the confirm button, smiled slightly and said, “The hacker invited by the other party is too average. I lowered the difficulty to lure him out.” After that, he turned off the optical brain and said, “Help me book a ticket to Lyra on the 21st. Next week is grandpa’s birthday, I have to go home as soon as possible.”
MC and ML gonna meet… soon-ish!
