Chapter 701 The Poor Little Guy.

At the far end of the second floor is a private meeting room.

As the young man pushed open the vermilion door and Yu Zhizhi entered the conference room, the man sitting on the sofa just looked up.

In that instant, sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft halo around him.

He wore a well-tailored dark uniform with gold buttons extending from the collar to the waist, and intricate patterns embroidered on the cuffs.

Even in such a casual sitting posture, his back remained ramrod straight, exuding an innate nobility.

What makes it hard to look away is his long purple hair.

It wasn't a soft violet, but a deeper, richer purple, like velvet in the dead of night, or like some precious gemstone.

When Yu Zhizhi saw him, she was momentarily stunned.

"Lord Li Yuan?"

Despite not having seen each other for a long time, she still called out the other person's name accurately.

Li Yuan, the Grand Tutor of the Moonrise Empire.

A purple fox.

Yu Zhizhi and he had spent some time in the underground city. At that time, he was in beast form, and they got along fairly well.

Yu Zhizhi met his gaze.

A pair of beautiful purple eyes, the pupils so deep they seemed to draw you in, yet the gaze carried a nonchalant detachment: "Please sit down."

The meeting room door closed.

The young man stopped the little octopus, and they waited outside.

Yu Zhizhi walked over slowly.

She sat down opposite Li Yuan.

"So it's you." Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips slightly. "Lord Li Yuan, you're so busy, yet you still have time to come here?"

She asked curiously.

The national advisor is extremely busy with state affairs.

Does diplomacy require his personal involvement?

"It won't be long." Li Yuan's voice was deep, like the lowest string of a cello being gently plucked. "You want to go to the Central City?"

He heard about it.

His subordinates quickly reported the contents of that phone call to him.

Yu Zhizhi softly hummed in agreement: "Originally, I could have gone. But some things got in the way..."

"If you want to go, it's not difficult. You can go with the Beast Star diplomatic corps. But a diplomatic identity will bring you some conveniences, but it will also bring you some troubles."

Li Yuan's throat felt slightly itchy, and he casually pulled a cigarette out of the box.

He paused, then looked up: "Do you mind?"

Yu Zhizhi shook her head.

The smoke was white and appeared exceptionally slender between Li Yuan's fingers.

He didn't light it immediately, but instead gently rubbed the cigarette paper between his fingertips, his gaze falling on it as if he were examining an insignificant yet worthwhile object.

The lighter is silver; the flame leaps up the moment the thumb presses the roller, producing a soft, crisp "click" sound.

Li Yuan brought the cigarette closer, tilted his head slightly, and a few strands of purple hair slipped down with the movement, gleaming with a dull luster in the firelight.

He was clearly smoking.

Yet it was incredibly elegant.

Yu Zhizhi stared at him blankly, forgetting to look away for a moment.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Li Yuan seemed less real.

Long purple hair, a dark uniform, gold buttons—all these sharp features were softened by the smoke, leaving only a blurry, indifferent silhouette.

"If you agree to join the diplomatic mission, we can take you away tonight."

Li Yuan put down the documents in his hand and calmly gazed at the rabbit-woman sitting opposite him.

My first thought was, "Huh? You've lost weight."

Unlike their last meeting, the little female rabbit was wearing clothes from here: a pale yellow dress, a beige knitted cardigan, and a slender waist. She looked thinner than before.

She probably hasn't been sleeping well lately; she has faint dark circles under her eyes. Her beautiful dark eyes aren't as bright as before.

The young female is melancholy.

She looked haggard. Li Yuan knew about what had happened not long ago, and it seemed that it had had a great impact on her.

Yu Zhizhi was somewhat bewildered: "If I join the diplomatic mission, will my identity be that of a diplomatic envoy from the Beast Planet?"

Li Yuan: "Mm."

but……

Yu Zhizhi hesitated. On Earth, no one knew about her connection with the Beast Star, and she didn't really want everyone to know.

"Can I think about it?" she asked softly.

I didn't have high expectations for the diplomatic mission.

But the moment she saw Li Yuan, she inexplicably believed that as long as she nodded, she could reach the Central City with him tonight.

In that case, her position would be somewhat awkward.

Earth will then be on guard against her.

That would make it even harder to find out anything about the mother.

Yu Zhizhi's subconscious told her that it must be a very confidential matter, and that she would have to reach a circle she had never been to before to find out even a little bit about it.

"can."

After a long pile of ash had accumulated, Li Yuan finally moved his finger and flicked it gently. The grayish-white ash fell into the ashtray without a sound.

"You can think about it for as long as you want. Call me when you have an answer."

Neither Li Yuan's tone nor his words suggested familiarity, yet Yu Zhizhi inexplicably felt he was reliable.

My bewildered heart found a little comfort.

I'm still very nervous.

Her eyes reddened slightly: "Thank you, Lord Li Yuan."

This is not Beast Planet.

She's not some noble SS+ female either.

Actually, Li Yuan could have ignored her.

Did His Highness the Crown Prince of the Moonrise Empire specifically instruct him to do so? As soon as this thought crossed Yu Zhizhi's mind, she gently shook her head.

impossible.

The big tiger hates her now.

If she were to see him, Lord Canglan would surely bite her neck. Just thinking about it made Yu Zhizhi feel weak and tremble all over.

"I haven't done anything yet, why are you thanking me?" Li Yuan looked at her calmly with his purple eyes.

“No, you did it. You were willing to see me, willing to say these things to me, that’s already very good to me,” Yu Zhizhi said softly, her eyes reddening even more. She could only lower her head, afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.

Li Yuan looked at her in silence.

Hmm...poor little guy.

Li Yuan had seen her information. She was all alone, her spot had been taken by someone else, and she was desperate. From the city level to the provincial level, no one paid any attention to her.

He took a drag of his cigarette.

"Thank me, but you can't just say it."

Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then stared blankly at him: "Then...?"

"Treat me to a meal." Li Yuan stubbed out the remaining cigarette butt in the ashtray. He stood up. "I haven't had a proper meal here yet."

After arriving on Earth.

I'm busy every day.

Li Yuan's food was prepared by his assistant.

The ingredients and cooking techniques are still those of the Beast Planet.

"Of course." Yu Zhizhi smiled slightly, then stood up. "I'll search around. This is my first time in the provincial capital, so I'll see if there are any good restaurants."

Open the meeting room door.

The young man at the door looked over and, upon hearing that they were going to eat, showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Just now, he was talking to the little priest from the homeland of the Beast God about forming an alliance with Blue Star.

The original plan was to go to Star Ster.

Later, it was suddenly changed to Blue Star, and it was a rare unanimous vote by the three great empires.
