Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 72 Honesty and Forgiveness

Hail and the other man followed Suk into the study.

"Master, Lady Alice and the others meant well," Liu Mira said with a smile.

In their view, given Suk's circumstances, finding a wife from an entire planet wouldn't be a big deal; he was already being very restrained.

"Let's talk about that later," Suk shook his head.

He's figured it out: his parents don't care who he's with; they just want him to have children, and then those children to have children... to satisfy their desire to see their bloodline flourish.

Suk walked to the desk in the study and sat down, with Hail and the other standing in front of him. Suk looked up and said, "Liumira, go and contact the Imperial government to buy the Thousand Leaf Star we bought last time." Liumira understood. "Master prepared it for the Death Star, right?" Suk nodded. Under no other conditions, the Death Star Vine would still need to devour life-bearing planets to evolve. Although Suk wasn't married yet, he had already experienced the hardships of raising a child. "Also, this is the second time we've bought it. They can't sell planets like this, so we're helping them generate revenue. Let them lower the price a bit more."

Liumira said she would do her best, and Suk looked at Hail again, instructing him once more to oversee the defenses on Pokrypton and not to be careless in the slightest.

After Liu Mila and the other person left, Su Ke did not go to cultivate for the time being. He sat alone in the study, thinking, his mind wandering.

His own cultivation, the nurturing of the Death Star Vine, how to deal with the Zerg mother hive on Poker Star, how to sell the Zerg host body on his body... each of these is related to his future prospects.

"Hehehe, Suk." A figure darted in, his red, messy hair swaying wildly. It was Saki, carrying something in his hand.

"It's you. What's up?" Suk looked up and smiled. Everyone has their own secrets. Actually, he had to pretend in front of his parents, but he was truly unrestrained in front of his best friend.

Even in front of his subordinates, including Liu Mira, he couldn't reveal his true self. Although Liu Mira and the others were loyal, Suk knew it was the result of chip control.

As for Saki, after all, they were childhood friends who had shared poops and beaten up together, so there was really no need to be formal with him.

There are just some secrets that are not suitable for him to know.

As for Saki... his biggest secret is probably that unrequited love that ended without a trace; he didn't even succeed in confessing his feelings.

Standing over two meters tall with muscular build, Saki walked over, exuding an aura of intimidation. However, his grinning expression completely ruined the impression. He casually extended his hand and said, "I was exploring the planet this morning and discovered a kind of delicacy. I tried it and thought it was quite good, perfect for your taste, so I brought it back for you. Try it and see what you think."

"Then I'll give it a try." Suk took the food packaging box, smiled, and opened it. A strong but not cloying aroma wafted out. Suk sniffed it and showed a hint of satisfaction. "It smells alright. You put in the effort."

Saki's eyes darted around. "I've already bribed the staff there to find out the secret recipe. If you like, I can have my sisters make it for you often." Actually, Suk doesn't really have many hobbies, except for food. So his sisters have been working hard lately to study cooking skills and how to "win over" Suk, the big boss. They've really gone to great lengths.

Saki, burdened with the hopes of his entire family, never forgot to try and sell his family's salted eggs to Suk, the big shot.

"No need, I have a cook here." Suk chewed on his food, unmoved.

Watching Suk eat, Saki couldn't help but smack his lips, a nostalgic expression on his face. "I suddenly remembered when we were kids, we'd go into the woods to steal fruit, and then we'd all get diarrhea—"

Suk said irritably, "Are you trying to annoy me? Can you please not say these things while I'm eating?"

Saki chuckled.

Looking at Suk, he suddenly said, "Is something on your mind? You seem troubled."

Suk confirmed it, then said without hiding anything, "Yes, I've encountered a lot of things lately, and there are some things I still don't know how to handle."

Saki sighed. "Perhaps this is the trouble of big shots." Unfortunately, he was incompetent and couldn't help.

Suk laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about me, I'll handle it."

Saki looked outside and suddenly said, "Suke, do you think it's suitable for me to become an interstellar adventurer? My family doesn't want me to." The simple-minded boy showed a troubled expression.

Suk's expression turned serious this time. "If you really want to do it, then go ahead and do it." He didn't want his friend to take the risk, which was only natural. Others might take risks for various reasons, but Saki simply thought it was interesting. However, this path wasn't as easy as he imagined; it was full of hardships and dangers, and one wrong step could lead to his demise!

"Be respectful in the face of life and death, do not show off, and absolutely avoid falling into a predicament"—this is the principle that Suk set for himself.

He wouldn't stop his brother from pursuing his dreams just because of his own ideas. It would be a pity if a person couldn't live their life according to their own wishes.

As expected, Saki said, "I just feel that life is too boring and I want to find something interesting to do. I want to be an adventurer, to roam and explore the infinite universe, to see the wonders of the universe, and to travel through countless wonderful landscapes. That would be such an exciting thing." There was a longing light in Saki's eyes. He was the kind of person who was born unwilling to be lonely, but a mundane life was not what he liked.

Saki emerged from Suk's room with a smug grin. His "grand dream" had encountered unprecedented resistance from his family.

So he can only come to Suk every now and then to ask for some help.

"Ah, my own brother really understands me." Zuo Wei sighed.

Suk supported him becoming an adventurer, being a good buddy without a doubt, but Zaki had to reach the Constant Star level first.

Otherwise, don't go out and get yourself killed.

"Planetary level!" Saki was filled with fighting spirit. Although he was only a second-tier planetary-level mentalist, he would still work hard for his dream.

Actually, Saki has always been quite hardworking, but unfortunately... like Suk, he doesn't have much talent and lacks opportunities, so he'll never even reach the Hengxing level in his entire life.

If you had to describe that difficulty, it would be like Suk's previous life as an ordinary person on Earth who, having nothing, dreamed of becoming one of the top 100 most powerful and influential people on Earth through hard work. That would make it understandable.

After all, there may not be a hundred stars on a planet.

Who wouldn't want to pursue their dreams through hard work and perseverance? Unfortunately, it's impossible.

Just as Saki was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.

"Eloi? You're here too?" Saki said warmly.

"You just met with Suk?" Eloi looked at Saki. No matter how good their relationship was, she was still a girl, and there was a gender gap between her and Suk. Saki, on the other hand, did not have this problem. Men are usually more open in front of other men and can share many secrets.

For example, it seems that Suk likes certain large shapes... This information was leaked from Saki.

"Yes, I just brought him some good food, but he seems to be in some kind of trouble," Saki confessed.

That's his good point: he doesn't lie to his true friends.

"We're in trouble," Eloi confirmed, then looked at the door thoughtfully after Saki left.

Bubble realized something was wrong.

"Girl, you don't mean to..."

But Eloi had already pushed open the door and gone inside.

The girl's gaze was firm; it was time to be honest with Suk.
