TL: Moonlit

Ever since Lin Su arrived in this world, it was his first time aboard a flying ship.

Through the glass, he gazed at the vast and boundless universe, feeling a profound sense of awe.

It was unexpected that Lin Su would enjoy such a view. William dimmed the lights in the room, enhancing the vast and mysterious world outside.

William took two of the preserved camellia flowers from the glass jar and placed them in a cup. He poured warm water over them, and the rich floral fragrance gradually filled the air, bringing a refreshing and natural sensation that made the mind and body feel clear.

Catching a whiff of the aroma, Lin Su turned his head and smiled, meeting William’s gaze. “It smells so good.”

With a smile, William approached and embraced Lin Su’s waist. His fluffy white tail swayed behind him. “It’s getting late. Let’s rest after finishing this cup of tea.”

In space, there was no distinction between day and night, relying on special timekeeping devices to determine the passage of time.

The journey from North Star to the Capital Star typically took five days on a regular spacecraft.

Today marked the third day of their journey aboard the ship.

Upon waking up early in the morning, Lin Su couldn’t help but feel that living without seeing daylight for an extended period became monotonous, despite the initial novelty of a day or two.

Lin Su couldn’t help but wonder how William managed to endure years of such an environment without going insane.

Resting beside William, Lin Su hugged his warm and soft tail in his arms, quietly watching the peacefully sleeping fox.

Since the symptoms of insomnia had reduced, William’s mental state had been improving. A healthy rosy hue radiated from his porcelain-white skin.

Even though William’s mental disorder hasn’t been cured yet, Lin Su was glad to see him in such a good state.

As the person in deep sleep slowly opened their eyes, they met the gentle black eyes of the little female. Rolling over, he pulled Lin Su into his embrace and nuzzled against him. “Why are you awake so early?”

Lin Su hugged William’s waist in return. “I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking of preparing something delicious later to have a lively gathering together.”

William tilted his head slightly, gazing earnestly at the little female in his arms. “Are you feeling bored on the ship?”

Lin Su didn’t conceal his true feelings and nodded gently. “A little. So, it’s hard to imagine how you managed to live in such an environment for such a long time.”

Raising his hand, Lin Su gently pinched the canine ears on top of William’s head. The warm and soft canine ears were fluffy and large, and the moment his hand touched them, they trembled, instantly melting his heart.

Although the feeling was different from the fox tail he was hugging in his arms, it still brought him joy.

“Do you feel sorry for me?”

“Mhmm, I’ve only been living on the ship for two days, and I already find it difficult. Being in a place without seeing daylight, I think it would eventually lead to feelings of despair if one stays for a long time.”

Lin Su thought that William’s mental disorder might have developed in such an environment.

William held the little female in his arms tighter. “Don’t worry, I won’t experience such things again.”

Knowing that William said that to spare his worries, Lin Su didn’t inquire further. As long as he had him by the big fox’s side, he would be fine no matter where he went.

This time, when heading to the capital star, Lin Su brought many seeds and specifically set up a cultivation room on the ship to create a soil environment.

Lin Su planned to establish an ecological farming chamber on the ship so that all the warriors on board could enjoy natural fruits and vegetables. It was like a special privilege for them.

Upon learning about Lin Su’s plan to create an ecological farming chamber on the ship, the warriors on board were ecstatic.

How could their princess be so considerate? Not only did he repair their beast patterns, but he also established this rare and valuable natural fruit and vegetable farming chamber for them.

If such news were to spread, it would astonish many and make many envious.

Even they themselves couldn’t help but envy their own fortune.

How lucky they were to become the personal guards of the Crown Prince. And how lucky the Crown Prince was to be chosen by the Crown Princess.

According to Lin Su’s current Level 2 ability, cultivating these fruits and vegetables was not a difficult task. Moreover, with Xie Bai assisting him, even though Xie Bai’s abilities were limited, he could still help share the workload.

After completing the cultivation chamber, Lin Su called for Bruno and took a batch of harvested fruits and vegetables to the kitchen. Later, he planned to prepare some delicious food to treat everyone on the aircraft.

Bruno had already experienced Lin Su’s cooking skills before, so no matter how composed he tried to appear, he was excited beyond measure.

Summoning a warrior, Lin Su had the ingredients from the box carried to their newly renovated kitchen. “Princess Consort, would you like to take a break?”

Even though they were eager to taste the delicious food Lin Su made, they didn’t want him to work too hard.

“It’s fine, don’t worry. This is nothing for me, and I have Xiao Bai helping me too.” Lin Su gently patted Xie Bai’s shoulder. “Xiao Bai, I’ll leave the post-meal desserts to you.”

Xie Bai smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lin Su.”

Despite Lin Su’s words, Bruno still sent two warriors to assist Lin Su and Xie Bai. At the same time, he wanted these two individuals to learn from Lin Su and Xie Bai. After conveying his intentions to Lin Su, he nodded and said, “That’s fine, but the time is short, so they might not learn much. If you’re willing, you can send a few warriors to North Star to learn from my female father, or they can wait until he arrives at the capital star.”

Unexpectedly, not only was Lin Su willing, but he also came up with a solution. Bruno excitedly said, “We are willing! How could we not be? I’ll select a few intelligent individuals to go and learn from Sir Su Jin.”

Lin Su felt that this arrangement was good, as at least the ship’s life wouldn’t be so monotonous in the future.

During dinner, after Bruno announced this matter, he didn’t expect a bunch of warriors to raise their hands, expressing their willingness to learn cooking. Even if they ended up becoming cooks in the future, they were willing.

Just the thought of creating delicious food with their own hands made them feel especially satisfied.

In the future, whatever they wanted to eat would be within easy reach.

There was no better skill than this.

Bruno didn’t expect so many people to volunteer, so he immediately said, “What are you all planning? If everyone goes to learn cooking, then who will guard the ship and protect the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort? Alright, I’ll just randomly choose two people. I can’t give you too much freedom.”

“Boss, two is too few. How about ten?”

“I’ll even give you a hundred spots. Dream on.”

Listening to the warriors teasing each other, Lin Su leaned against William’s chest and smiled. “Look at how happy they are.”

William reached out and embraced him. “It’s all because of you,” he said.

Lin Su’s eyes curved. “So, does that mean you should reward me?”

Knowing Lin Su’s tricks well, William playfully curled his palm and whispered something that only the two of them knew. He continued until Lin Su’s ears turned red.

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone gradually returned to their rooms to rest, except for the warriors on night duty.

Lin Su finished showering and came out, his clean face blushing, as he jumped onto the bed and nestled into William’s embrace. “William, what did you say in the dining hall? Don’t you dare have impure thoughts and no follow-through! I’ve cleaned up and I’ve been waiting for you!”

After speaking, Lin Su fearlessly hooked his arms around William’s neck and placed a kiss on his lips.

Even though William was usually composed and calm, at this moment, he was ignited by the allure of the small female in front of him.

He pressed the tempting Lin Su onto the bed…

When Lin Su, with a flushed face, lay softly in William’s arms, his voice hoarse, he asked, “Why aren’t you continuing?”

William restrained himself and gently stroked Lin Su’s back to calm him down. He restrainedly said, “It’s not the right time yet, we should wait…”

Suddenly pushed by Lin Su, the small female with shining black eyes boldly pulled at William’s disheveled collar. “Are you incapable? William, if you can’t, I can take over.”

Even the bold William, who knew Lin Su’s audacity well, was stunned by the straightforward dominance of the small female. After a momentary pause, he embraced Lin Su tightly, holding the soft and fragrant small female with affection. “I don’t want our first time to be in a place like this.”

His precious baby deserved better treatment.

Unexpectedly, even in this situation, his big fox still wanted to choose the right place. Lin Su’s heart felt a bit conflicted for a moment.

He didn’t know if he should praise William for being romantic or if he should say that his own charm wasn’t enough. How could the big fox maintain self-control in such a moment?

Fearlessly squinting his eyes, Lin Su reached out and poked William’s chest. “Honestly tell me, is it because my charm isn’t strong enough, or is it really that you can’t perform?”

Being doubted twice in a row, William felt helpless. He held Lin Su’s hand and said, “Does Su Su really not understand the allure you have over me?”

Suddenly feeling a strange sensation, Lin Su’s cheeks turned red. He didn’t expect such a spectacular response from himself. The heat in his ears couldn’t be contained. Finally, a hint of flustered Lin Su emerged from within, and he tightened his grip on William’s shirt. “It seems like I have to take the initiative after all. If you continue like this, I might just die.”

William couldn’t help but laugh, holding the person tightly in his arms. His deep and melodious laughter was like a cello playing. “Is this your affirmation of me?” he asked.

Blushing, Lin Su replied, “It’s my self-awareness.”

William affectionately rubbed his head. “Don’t worry, I’ll be very gentle.”

Lin Su looked into the loving golden eyes of the big fox and found himself unable to refuse anything. But he also genuinely didn’t mind the effort. He was willing to give it a try.

Even if they couldn’t fulfill their desires tonight, there would always be opportunities in the future.

Quietly making up his mind, Lin Su decided to learn some techniques in this area privately, hoping to show William his sincerity.

Feeling the small female in his arms soften and lean against him, William no longer said the words that would overwhelm him. He thought Lin Su had accepted his proposal and gently patted his back. “It’s getting late. Let’s rest early.”

Seeing that William could control himself despite the circumstances, Lin Su admired his perseverance. However, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. “Are you not uncomfortable like this? Should I help you…”

William held Lin Su’s hand and smiled, giving him a kiss. “Don’t tease me. It will be fine in a little while.”

Not wanting William to be in discomfort, Lin Su obediently lay down and closed his eyes, trying to calm down the excitement in his heart. He thought he wouldn’t be able to sleep, but surprisingly, he fell asleep quickly.

Listening to the even and steady breathing of the small female in his arms, William nodded with a smile and lightly tapped his little nose. “You heartless little thing.”

Having had a good night’s sleep, when Lin Su woke up early the next day, William was no longer in bed.

As he emerged from the bedroom, he noticed a clothes rack in the living room with various dresses hanging on it.

When William saw him, he walked over. “We will arrive at the capital star tomorrow morning. These are the outfits prepared for tomorrow. Choose one you like.”

Lin Su noticed that William was wearing a well-tailored black three-piece suit, with a white shirt underneath and a black tie neatly fastened at the collar.

Although it was a simple attire, it unexpectedly looked great on the big fox.

With his tall and upright figure, he was like a clothes hanger. Even with the dog ears on his head and a tail behind him, it didn’t diminish his dignified aura. On the contrary, it carried a sense of irresistible allure, making people want to push him down.

“You look so handsome in that outfit,” Lin Su generously praised. “I’ll pick a similar one so we can wear couple outfits.”

The kind that instantly lets people know they are a couple.

Looking at the smile in Lin Su’s eyes and the two adorable dimples at the corners of his lips, William felt a knot in his throat. He realized that his self-control wasn’t as good as he had imagined.

In the end, Lin Su also chose a black three-piece suit, but his figure was much slimmer compared to William’s tall and upright physique.

Even though he couldn’t exude the same aura as William, this simple and well-fitting attire still made Lin Su look like a little prince, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.

Standing in front of the mirror, Lin Su hugged William’s arm with a bright smile. “How do I look?”

“Beautiful,” William’s golden beast-like eyes shimmered with light. His little female was truly the most beautiful.

Lin Su, who received the compliment, turned to face William’s golden eyes. “Are we a good match?”

As if a soft feather brushed gently over his heart, the smile in William’s eyes widened. “Perfectly matched!”

The news of the Empire’s only Prince returning to the capital star with his partner had spread throughout the Empire three days ago. This day would be live-streamed nationwide, allowing the public to witness the charm of the Empire’s Prince and his Princess.

The media, curious about the Princess, became excited one after another.

When the long-haul carrier appeared in the sky above the capital star, the deafening sound of cannons echoed through the clouds.

William held Lin Su’s hand. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Lin Su smiled slightly, feeling a hint of nervousness. “Okay.”

Xie Bai stood nearby, silently cheering for Lin Su. Su Ge noticed and pulled him into an embrace. “Don’t worry, as long as Prince William is here, Lin Su will be fine.”

Xie Bai nodded. “I know, but I can’t help feeling nervous, even though it has nothing to do with me.”

Su Ge found Xie Bai’s words adorable and gently ruffled his hair. “Lin Su will be fine.”

The carrier slowly came to a stop, and the cabin doors opened after the sound of air pressure ceased.

The sides of the carrier were filled with people holding flowers, while soldiers in military uniforms stood on either side.

A red carpet was laid on the ground, and pleasant music started playing—

William was the first to step out of the cabin. After standing in position, he slightly turned his body and extended his hand to Lin Su. This scene was captured by holographic images and broadcasted to the public, causing a wave of cheers.

Lin Su grabbed William’s hand, and the moment he stepped out of the cabin, the cheers momentarily paused, followed by even more enthusiastic screams.

“Ah ah ah! Who is that? How can the Prince be in a half-beast form?”

“The Prince in his half-beast form can still move freely. He truly deserves to be the Empire’s hero!”

“Oh my, isn’t that the Prince’s companion by his side? Our Princess, am I not mistaken? Isn’t that Lin Su, who can cure mental disorders?”

“I finally understand why the Prince in his half-beast form is so powerful. It’s because his partner is Lin Su. What an extraordinary combination!”

William tightly held Lin Su’s hand as they walked down the carrier. Will and Mu Yin had been waiting at the end of the red carpet for a long time.

When Will and Mu Yin saw William and Lin Su coming down from the carrier, tears uncontrollably welled up in Will’s eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Yin gently pinched his hand to comfort him. “They are a perfect match.”

Will tried to calm his excited emotions and nodded heavily. “Yes!”

Walking down the red carpet and arriving in front of Will and Mu Yin, William and Lin Su both kneeled down. “Your Majesty, Your Highness, William returns with his partner, Lin Su.”

Will walked forward with excitement and helped William and Lin Su stand up. “Welcome home. You have finally returned.”

Will, who was struggling to hold back his tears, tightly embraced William, gently patting his shoulder. There were many words he wanted to say, but they condensed into this one sentence.

Mu Yin approached Lin Su. “It’s nice to meet you, Lin Su.”

“Hello, Your Highness, the Empress.” It was the first time Lin Su saw Mu Yin. The dignified and gentle aura emanating from him made him feel comfortable and had a good impression of him.

Mu Yin also had a great impression of Lin Su. He leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, “You can call me Mu Yin privately.”

Lin Su smiled and nodded, not refusing. “Okay.”

Following the protocol, William was supposed to go to the podium to express gratitude to the public.

Lin Su was brought up to the podium and stood beside William, listening to him speak. “Thank you all for coming. I want to introduce to you my partner, Lin Su. Thanks to the Beast God, he was sent to me…”

As William’s words echoed, whether it was the audience present or the online viewers, everyone cheered excitedly.

Lin Su didn’t expect William to introduce him to the public like this. He smiled and took the microphone handed to him by William. “Hello, everyone. I am Lin Su. I will take good care of our Prince. Please rest assured and entrust him to me.”

For a moment, Lin Su felt as if they were standing at a wedding ceremony, receiving blessings from the people.

No one expected this young little female to express his affection for their Prince so boldly in front of so many people.

It was unexpected yet so natural.

“Ah ah ah! It’s amazing! How can the Princess be so good!”

“The Princess is unique. I really like him!”

“Aws! The Princess and the Prince are a perfect match!”

“The Princess is truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and eloquent. Our hero deserves such a beauty. I wonder when the Beast God will bless me with someone like him!”

This day was destined to be a nationwide celebration, a day of blessings from the people. When Lin Su and William descended from the podium and disappeared with the ceremonial procession, many people remembered this scene vividly. Even after many years, recalling this scene from today would still bring a smile to their faces.

The ceremony finally concluded, and once they returned home, Will couldn’t hold back his tears. Whether his partner was present or it was his own younger brother and his partner, he had cried like this more than once. He sobbed, gripping the handkerchief tightly as he sat on the couch, venting his emotions.

Mu Yin, who knew him well, had prepared some pear juice for him on the way back. These pears were sent by Lin Su from the North Star.

“William, Lin Su, you must be tired after getting off the carrier. Go rest for now, and we can talk later.”

Both of them understood that Will’s emotional state couldn’t be calmed down in a short time. Fortunately, after a morning of ceremonies, they were indeed a bit tired. Without declining, they followed the palace attendants to the prepared chambers for their rest.

On the way, William held Lin Su’s hand. “Let’s take a break here and go back home tomorrow.”

It was clear that “home” referred to William’s own mansion.

Lin Su was filled with anticipation. “Great!”

After Lin Su and William left, Mu Yin approached Will and gently patted his shoulder. Will leaned over, his voice hoarse. “I’m fine, Mu Yin. I’ll be able to sort out my emotions soon.”

“I know. Cry if you want to. Don’t hold it in. William and Lin Su have gone to rest. It’s just me here.”

Upon hearing this, Will felt his partner was so considerate. Touched by his words, tears flowed uncontrollably once again.

With Mu Yin’s company, Will’s emotions quickly calmed down. After shedding tears, he replenished himself with a lot of pear juice. Not only did his throat not become hoarse, but his spirits also improved significantly.

Seeing that his emotions had settled, Mu Yin handed him the notebook containing the items Lin Su brought to the capital star this time. “Take a look. I think we should implement the Contract Beast Hall and the Cultivation Ground as soon as possible.”

Will lowered his gaze to the notebook in his hand. The detailed record of everything Lin Su brought back to the capital star was invaluable to the empire. “We can’t wait for the Contract Beast Hall. Gather people for a meeting now.”

Seeing Will’s emotions settle and him returning to his majestic and regal self, Mu Yin couldn’t help but be moved.

The person he liked had both a gentle side and a tough and strong side.

And these two sides were only for him to possess.

How wonderful.

The palace attendants led Lin Su and William to the resting chambers, where various purified fruits had already been prepared. The cool palace exuded a refreshing floral fragrance. It was evident that someone had meticulously arranged everything before their arrival.

Concerned that Lin Su might be tired after participating in such a ceremony for the first time, Will asked, “Are you tired? Shall we rest?”

“I’m not tired. I’m bursting with energy right now.” Holding William’s hand, Lin Su walked around the spacious chamber. When he saw the enormous hot spring pool built into the mountainside, he couldn’t help but feel excited. He stopped and looked at William with hopeful eyes. “William, let’s soak in the hot spring. This place is so big, I can even wash your tail, just like we promised before.”

Due to the small bathroom in their house on the North Star, they hadn’t been able to fulfill this desire. Unexpectedly, their long-held wish was fulfilled on their first day in the capital star.

If he had known earlier, he would have come sooner!
