Chapter 3
Chapter 3
His worries were clearly unnecessary.
It was rare for Caesars spirit world to maintain good weather for a long time.
This meant that his state was stable.
Right now, Caesar was staying at the highest point of the villa, where the view was wide enough to net out the entire estate, including the youth who had inexplicably intruded into the territory that belonged to him.
On the interstellar network, cruel and bloody deeds about this tyrant abounded, but whenever the content involved some private information, such as Caesars original body, origin, etc., the page would show that it could not be opened.
In other words, almost no one knows what his original body is.
It was a snow lion.
Caesar was used to appearing in his spirit world in his original body, and he was lazily lying on the ground, his paws flicking the grass ring, and the sweet scent of the youths breath seemed to remain on his nose.
It was very, very faint.
He didnt find it annoying.
To be able to enter his spirit world, this was his match?
The snow lion lifted its eyes, examining the young man by the lake again.
Beautiful and fragile.
The youths pure black hair and eye color were extremely rare among the stars, and combined with his outstanding appearance, it would not be a difficult task to find him.
Caesar thought carelessly.
Perhaps upon learning that the spirit world he had entered belonged to the person known as the Tyrant, the youth would be so frightened that he would lose his speech and recoil in fear.
More than a calm gesture, Caesar wanted to see the youths other reactions.
It stemmed from the badness in his bones.
The snow lion stared at the youth for a long time, its eyes deepening, dangerous as a beast peeking at its prey.
Shen Tong seemed to look back with a feeling, he felt that a gaze was following him like a shadow.
But he couldnt look for too long.
Shen Tong could faintly hear Ji Meis voice.
In the next second, the lake was empty, and the young man was nowhere to be found.
The Snow Lion faintly withdrew his gaze and stood up from the ground, he was not surprised that the youth disappeared.
Inside the study, the young monarch opened his eyes.
His smoke-gray pupils were deep, his hair was a lighter shade of platinum, his hair was slicked back, and he was dressed in a pure black uniform that increasingly matched the pallor of his complexion, while the extreme contrast in hue showed a few unspoken dangers.
I was in there, I stayed too long, I missed the meeting. Caesar began, his voice low and touching, Everyones gone?
Yes, several of the lords have left. The butler said worriedly, Your Majesty, you didnt come out, is it because theres something wrong with the spirit world again?
I met my match.
Your match?
This answer was unexpected, the steward was stunned for several seconds before he reacted, he was pleasantly surprised, Your Majesty, your condition is finally under control, Ill order them to find him!
The steward seemed to be overwhelmed with joy and was in a hurry to leave, only on the way out did he remember that he had forgotten to ask about the matchs structure, and turned back to ask, What does your match look like, Your Majesty?
A few taps of the tabletop with bone-clear fingers, and Caesar said quietly, Its a young man, dark hair, dark eyes, his face-
It was beautiful.
Caesar paused and said carelessly, I dont remember, there seems to be a very faint mole under his right eye.

I almost forgot its the beginning of the month again.
Mint, stay here in the sun while I go get you your nutrition.
Ill be right back!
Shen Tong woke up at that moment.
It was actually a bit strange to say that he woke up.
After all, in his dream, he could see lakes, meadows and blue skies, but when he really woke up, Shen Tongs eyes were pitch black and he could only hear voices.
But after spending two months this way, Shen Tong had gotten used to it.
He was very good at going with the flow, to put it bluntly, he was a Buddha. Shen Tongs roommate always said that he was like a salted fish. When someone shoved him, he turned over, and he had no temper. It didnt matter what he said.
Shen Tong then basked in the sun.
It was close to evening.
The suns shadow sank, the temperature had dropped a little, the soil still had a little warm residue. Shen Tong remembered that when he woke up, Ji Mei said she would be back soon, but a long time had already passed.
Had something happened?
There was indeed an accident on Ji Meis side.
Nutrients were developed by the Academy of Sciences specifically for plants, and contained many nutrients that were beneficial to the growth of plants. According to the rules, the laboratory that cultivated the plant could receive five doses per month, but this month, the phalaenopsis orchid that the Academy of Sciences was cultivating sprouted, and that laboratory was asking for more nutrients with this.
If it were any other plant, it might have been denied, but not the Phalaenopsis.
It all went back to the anniversary of the monarchs accession.
At first, the Academy of Sciences had planned to cultivate catnip to present to their majesty, but after spending a lot of star coins and resources, the catnip remained untouched, so the Academy of Sciences chose a plant from the ancient Earth, the Phalaenopsis Orchid, to cultivate.
It must be said that the Phalaenopsis Orchid was much less troublesome than the Catnip.
The number of nutrients neede was limited, the laboratory that cultivated the phalaenopsis orchid asked for a few more, so the extra few could only be evened out from elsewhere.
The staff thought about it and took out three of the nutrients that originally belonged to catnip and gave them to them.
That was why Ji Mei had dawdled so long.
She returned with two nutrients in her hand, frustrated.
Mint, Im sorry I couldnt get those three nutrients back for you.
Thats obviously yours.
I told them you needed them too, but
But what, Ji Mei didnt say anything further, but Shen Tong could guess. It was nothing more than saying that it would be a waste to use it for him, and that he wouldnt sprout anyway, so they might as well use it for something else.
Shen Tong himself wasnt too concerned, but Ji Mei was furious, Why dont they all believe you can sprout?
The cats eye sees the grass! Theyll regret it sooner or later!
Shen Tong knew that Ji Mei felt it was unfair, and he estimated that with his growth, it would probably take three or four more days for him to emerge.
It wasnt a long time, and Shen Tong had more patience and time.
Too bad Ji Mei didnt have the time.
As the sun went down, she carried the catnip back to the lab, and halfway there, Ji Mei received an urgent notification on her personal terminal.
[Due to the celebration plan, each star will strengthen security measures from now on, all entry and exit need a pass, 1083 students internship ends early, on the 3rd at 16:00 at the Starport assembly].
News of the internship group reached 999+ comments instantly
[What? Internship ends early?]
[And only given two days. Dont we have to hand over our work! Dont you want to pack? Didnt buy Titan Star memorabilia!]
[Actually, there have been talks for a long time that this years internship might end early. The schools also received news yesterday that they were sure to close the port, after all, the tenth anniversary of His Majestys succession will be a big event, and of course the security level will be increased, so if we dont go back early, well have to be delayed for a month].
Ji Mei couldnt help but respond: [Id rather delay for a month.]
Someone echoed her: [Exactly. I havent finished my lab project yet, and if I leave midway through the evaluation, my score will be extremely low, and Ill have to stay in the hospital aaaaahhhhh.]
Ji Mei scrolled down again, everyone was complaining that the internship ended so suddenly and they werent prepared at all, worrying that their ratings werent high enough, Ji Mei was different from them, she was worried about catnip.
Catnip, what to do, I cant take care of you anymore.
Ji Mei said worriedly, Our internship is going to end early, and after I leave, there will be no one to take care of you.
Shen Tong was startled.
In the two months since he came to the Star, Ji Mei had taken care of him very carefully, and Shen Tong could feel that Ji Mei really liked catnip, her only wish was to see him sprout, so Shen Tong sunbathed with her every day and listened to her complaints as he slowly grew.
He forgot that Ji Mei was just an intern and couldnt wait long.
And when she learnt that her internship would end early, Ji Mei was sad not because she had wasted a lot of time here, and that she wouldnt get high marks for her internship, but because she was frustrated that Shen Tong would have no one to take care of him.
Shen Tong couldnt tell what she was feeling, but a thought crept up on him.
Ji Mei happily took the catnip out to sunbathe, and when she returned to the lab, she wilted and walked with a drooped tail.
And that wasnt the end of it.
As soon as Ji Mei put the catnip down, the researcher in the next lab said to her, Ji Mei, theres a new project in the hospital, and this lab might be split up in a few days.
Ji Mei was surprised and asked, What about catnip?
The researcher thought, and shook his head, The person who came didnt say, and I forgot to ask.
Ji Mei opened her mouth and closed it again.
Shed have liked to argue on behalf of catnip, but what was the point, unless catnip sprouted, maybe catnip would be cleaned out of the whole pot.
What a lab.
Ji Mei thanked the other and silently unwrapped a nutrient and poured it into the flower pot.
She actually felt bad about it.
It was easy to imagine how Catnip would be treated after she left.
Ji Mei sighed, Mint, grow quickly. Let me, and everyone, take a look at you, okay?
Its okay if you really cant sprout.
They dont have time for you anyway, but then Ill steal you home and raise you.
Shen Tong couldnt respond and only looked at the exasperated girl quietly.
He shouldnt keep letting others worry about him.
Thinking of this, Shen Tong, a usually complacent person, decided to take the initiative to turn over a new leaf.
He felt the young sprouts that had only grown from the seeds, trying to make his growth a little faster, he punched the soil all at once.
The sky was sinking.
It was time for the end of the shift, and Ji Mei watered the catnip some more before leaving the lab.
Shen Tong was still growing.
Growing little by little.
A few hours later, in the lab where the lights were turned off, a small soft noise passed and the soil loosened a few times.
In the flower pot, the young seedling poked out a tip, and droplets of clear water fell, its bright green color full of life.
Catnip, it was growing!
