Chapter 36: Leap

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Mimosa

One hand held his waist, hoisting him onto his body. Yu Hanzhou then sat upright on the edge of the bed. Ming Huan nearly lay in his arms with his buttocks sitting between the man’s legs, and his pair of knees nested squarely on his right leg with his white feet stirring up the bed sheets.

This position was in fact very ambiguous.

However, it couldn’t be helped that it was comfortable.

Yu Hanzhou’s arms were very strong, and his entire upper body supported him steadily.

He lowered his head and was very focused on rubbing his knees.

Ming Huan looked down, and his own freshly bathed skin had a bit of cloud-like powder. The color of the knee was rubbed darker and darker.

“Talk.”

In contrast to his gentle movements, his voice was unusually serious.

The seriousness was a bit like the attitude Yu Hanzhou always had towards him before Ming Huan differentiated.

“That, that’s for sure! Absolutely! Will not tell any information against the Federation military department, ah!” Ming Huan rubbed his nose, “And nothing, this, has entered the Ministry, have not intervened in anything…. Besides, it’s a SSS-level mental energy dragon, eh, even if I go to the Empire….”

Ming Huan suddenly muffled his voice.

He thought that in the original, the protagonist did not participate in genetic testing after breaking his shell. From the very beginning, he was stranded in the slums of the Empire. After suffering for three years, he was easily admitted as the King’s Court Guard, and then was calculated by the Imperial Consul to suffer all the losses, finally being treated cruelly and directly blacked out in that direction.

Yu Hanzhou grabbed his hand and pushed the sleeve down, staining his hand with the special emollient cream to slightly smear his elbow.

“The empire’s royal family, without exception, is SSS-level mental energy.”

” You have not yet finished differentiating. There is no way to escape. And once you differentiate, and are sent as an omega dragon, the situation will be worse than ever.”

The hand around Ming Huan’s waist slightly tightened, and he wanted to say something.

The little dragon struggled a bit.

“Yu Hanzhou.”

“Hm?”

“Help me rub it, the tailbone is what’s left.”

‘…. I’m not listening to you at all.’

“I’m a little sleepy.” Ming Huan reached out and wrapped his hand around Yu Hanzhou’s waist. He felt him seem to pause before he reached out and wrapped his arm around his waist. He then pulled his pants down a bit. 

Ming Huan was sitting close to Yu Hanzhou with his chin raised very high against Yu Hanzhou’s collarbone, and when he looked up, he could see his neck.

The little dragon was puzzled, ‘eek’. “Why do you smell like an inhibitor?”

Yu Hanzhou did not answer.

He only carried him back to the bedroom and gave him the familiar scented candles.

The little dragon is too sleepy to open his eyes.

‘Forget it.’

‘Take your time.’

Yu Hanzhou dimmed the lights as he thought, ‘anyway, as long as he watched closely, Ming Huan couldn’t have any problems.’

Most young omegas were naturally quiet and soft.

Ming Huan was also not very bold.

The last time that he gave a little lecture, he was so anxious that he shed tears. If he really wanted to be too serious, he should become afraid again.

“Go to bed early. In the morning, I have to go to the military headquarters and will be back before nine o’clock.”

***

Federation, Capital Star.

Military Ministry building.

“This time the Federation court has newly ruled for the rare mining star. The development rights will probably be awarded to Xie Jue again.”

“It should be Xie Jue.”

The middle and lower level personnel in the technical department couldn’t read the authority report.

All they could say was that the “mining star’s ownership” issue, which was a big deal half a month ago, had finally been settled. The court trial also concluded with the Federation winning the mining rights, and it was said that the probability is that the mining planet was a leap resource mining star. In the last few days, the Ministry of the military was busy with the issue of the mining rights distribution.

This leader, Yu Hanzhou, frequently disappeared.

The military department couldn’t find the person at all.

“What happened to the admiral recently? Simply can’t find that person.”

“No way, the recent reports are reported by direct video projection.”

After a short morning, Yu Hanzhou left the technical department and walked straight to the closed flying machine. Captain Lin finally couldn’t help but walk up and say, “Admiral, the next Military Department meeting-“

Yu Hanzhou looked at the time, “I’ll send you a short-time positioning, you and Lieutenant Zhou discuss, the meeting will change to my residence. You will be given two hours of access, remember to make a detailed report within that time.”

After he finished, the small flying machine took off and sped before it gradually disappeared into a black spot in the sky.

Several officers were left frozen in place.

When Ming Huan woke up again, it was no surprise that it was noon again.

He had been sleeping a lot lately.

When he got up and stood on the ground, his pajama pants seemed to be really short, and the pajama pants that were originally right around his ankles were already high-waisted now.

He was growing taller!

He pushed away and wanted to tell Yu Hanzhou the good news. It seemed that his recent “nutritional meal” really had some effect! He had just walked up the stairs on the second floor and heard some movement downstairs.

There seemed to be someone else other than the admiral in the residence.

“Xie Jue is a businessman, he only wants to get more mining rights, the goal is this rare leap resource mining star’s 100 years of mining rights.”

“But this is not an ordinary mineral resource, it is most likely to be one of leap energy….”

“But that child of the Xie Jue family, after all, is an SS-level mental energy omega dragon…. And the last mission, it was indeed Xie Jue’s child as a secondary pilot….”

“Do not say, because of Xie Shuci, it was only in this short period of three years after Xie Shuci broke the shell that Xie Jue reaped more benefits from the military.”

The faint voices came.

Yu Hanzhou actually brought people back home to hold a meeting for the Military Department.

Recently, he simply did not go to the military department.

In order not to make a sound, Ming Huan squatted on the stairs with bare feet, torn about whether to go down. His stomach grumbled and he was already a little hungry. He wanted to eat the plate of sweet and tasty fish filet from Chabirofi that Yu Hanzhou made two days ago.

However, there were a bunch of officers in a meeting downstairs.

Isn’t it bad for him to go down like this?

Ming Huan wanted to see where they were meeting, and tentatively stretched out his foot. He had just made it over the stairway, but suddenly, as if touching a bit of soft and flexible film, his toes bounced back.

‘Oh no.’

‘Permission settings!’

Yu Hanzhou actually narrowed his housing authority to the second floor, so that he couldn’t go downstairs!

Ming Huan huffed and turned back to the bedroom.

‘–You do not want to run to the military, but bring people back to the private residence to have your military meetings. You open it, but also restrict personal freedom so I’m not allowed to go downstairs!’

Yu Hanzhou seemed to notice something downstairs, and he looked at the terminal. He reached out and called a halt to the progression of the report.

“Pause a minute.”

On the stairs came the sound of a person’s footsteps going upstairs.

Not long after, the footsteps became one in front and one behind.

One light and one heavy.

Several officers in their seats looked at each other – could it be the child who was awarded to the admiral in the Federation court three years ago?

The admiral had always intentionally erased this child’s existence from the public view. It’s been three years since the news came out, and except for the last commander’s identified formalities, he was never brought to the military.

Even several of their senior officers who get along with the admiral day in and day out have never seen the legendary white feathered dragon cub.

He should be very fierce.

He should be very cold in character.

He should be like a small Admiral Yu Hanzhou.

Before more imagination could take shape in their mind, they heard the tiny sound of a porcelain plate being placed on the table from outside.

“Don’t want to eat this.”

A very crisp and clear voice came that sounded a bit good, and the voice was soft and moist like a fine spring rain, “I want to eat fish.”

“That fish was from two days ago.”

The small hall downstairs was half-hidden, leaving a small slit. Decades ago, they also had the privilege to come to the admiral’s residence once. From that time, Admiral Yu Hanzhou’s mansion was still the same. There were no servants and officers to guard, only a cold AI butler.

But this time, it seemed to be very different from that time decades ago.

There were a lot more green plants in the yard.

There were some decorative ornaments placed in the living room, and flowers.

There were even a few soft, handmade dolls at the entry.

The sound of footsteps came from outside, and each step made a soft sound like steps on snow, as if it were approaching the small hall.

Yes, it was the white feathered dragon cub!

With the sound of approaching footsteps, they could also smell a faint burst of a sweet smoky fragrance.

They poked their heads out a little just to watch a slender white ankle sticking out from around the corner as it stepped the pretty white velvet slipper to the floor to make a small silvery white footprint –

Whoosh!

The small hall slit was closed by a gust of wind.

They couldn’t see.

Several officers realized that they had peeped, and it was very rude. As if they had been slapped in the face, they felt embarrassed.

“He’s a young alpha, right?” Officer Lin was not so curious and found that just the faint fragrance that still remained in the air made him a little surprised.

“Three years, he should almost be differentiated, too.”

‘Hm?’ After he pointed that out, the four officers’ eyes changed, ‘no wonder Admiral Yu recently did not go to the military, maybe this child would soon differentiate!’

The differentiation period of a little dragon was prone to mental energy instability.

Thus, Admiral Yu kept watching him every moment.

The more they thought about it, the more it made sense.

On the outside, they listened to Admiral Yu’s voice come somewhat gently.

“Ming Huan, go up when you’ve had enough. The meeting here will be over in ten minutes.”

The door was clicked and pushed open.

Yu Hanzhou’s face was not as gentle as his tone just now, and his eyes were even a little chilly.

“The development rights of 20%, given to Xie Jue and the time shortened to twenty years.” Yu Hanzhou’s voice was bland, as if he wanted to end the meeting as soon as possible, “He is willing to sign, then sign, if not willing, then whatever, it’s his loss. I don’t think his son can necessarily differentiate into an omega.”

“There are some things I’ve been reminded of recently.”

Yu Hanzhou rubbed his fingertips, then picked up the steaming cup of black tea in front of him,  “With the differentiation probability, there is always a chance of it changing.”

“For the Xie family, it is not necessarily possible to raise an SS-level omega.”

“But this mining star must be of rare leap energy, as for the development rights, the military department is only willing to give up 20%.”

Officer Lin argued, “The analysis report  and values of that energy star have not yet come out. The military department’s group of old-fashioned people refused to take any of the leapfrog fighters to test, which is completely stuck. Can only first give up the mining rights for advanced mining….”

They couldn’t seem to understand the admiral’s sudden insistence.

Although Xie Jue was a businessman, he had capital even if he was a bit greedy – his son was predicted to differentiate into an omega with SS- level mental energy. In the entire Federation, there was only one young dragon like this!

Yu Hanzhou slightly raised his eyes, and the black tea in his hand reflected his deep eyes.

“20%, 20 years.”

The admiral was unmoved, and succinctly drew the final bottom line which marked the end of the meeting.

Ten minutes were almost up.

A slim figure swiftly swept past the floor-to-ceiling window, interrupting several arguing men and red-faced officers at the conference table.

‘Um, the afterimage was of what?’

They turned their heads in unison and were all looking at the automatic sprayer sprinkling a vapor on the grass, and the afternoon sun reflecting a beautiful rainbow.

Under the rainbow, the dragon was carrying a newly filled spiked water bottle and was pouring water on a fluorescent flower with broken petals.

His neck was long and fair, his soft hair was a charming cold brown in the sunlight, and his back looked like a small rock.

He was very patient, as if pitying that the flower was missing two petals, but also watered it a little more.

The white side of his face seemed clearer than jade in the sunlight.

Swish….

The curtains of the small hall were automatically pulled closed in a flash, isolating all the sunlight.

The hall fell into darkness.

Four pairs of eyes had vertical pupils.

“….”

“He’s….”

It’s the white feathered dragon cub, right?

How did he grow up – so beautiful?!

Knock, knock.

The floor-to-ceiling window was knocked on three times in a polite manner.

Yu Hanzhou walked over, pulled the curtain open a little, and pushed the window open.

The faint fragrance of the bathing agent mixed with the fragrance of flowers wafted into the small hall.

They once again looked at the cub’s appearance – the delicate deer-like eyes were slightly covered by raven feather-like eyelashes, and the golden light flowed from the honey-like pupils.

He was openly beautiful.

This young alpha was really raised by the admiral to be especially golden, that fine white wrist, that thin neck – didn’t he look like a delicate omega?

“What’s wrong? Didn’t get enough to eat?” Sure enough, facing this cub, the admiral’s tone of voice was gentle, “There are still three minutes to go….”

“I want to test the efficiency of using those energy stones.”

“Not necessarily to use the leap fighter and mecha of the military backup.”

He actually listened to a little bit of the meeting.

A small dragon held a watering can and seemed to have a little sore hands. The watering can was put on the ground before he patted the dust from his hands, “It should also be able to be used in the Federation military school’s battle armor.”

His voice echoed in the dark small hall.

The only beam of light from behind him penetrated into the interior, and through a heavy glass, the reflection of sunlight under the fair skin looked a little foggy.

His high nose was delicate and refined, and the snow-white slippers on his feet were followed by a string of glittering white footprints.

Once the matter was mentioned, Officer Lin was the first to react. He frowned and retorted, “The design mecha in the military academy has not been tested by the Military Department, and there is no valid energy data reference. No matter what kind of test results are produced, they will not be recognized.”

“Then use the ordinary energy to test the mecha first, while using the mecha to test the new ore energy again. Federation Military Regulations Article 57 states that the new mecha and warplanes that pass the Military Department’s tests can be classified as valid within three months.”

Officer Lin said, “But if the mecha does not pass the test, it will be too late, and it will lose ordinary energy, and there is no way to explain that to the Military Department’s old codgers.”

“It won’t fail.” Ming Huan seemed confident as his beautiful eyes turned to the room. After adapting to the darkness, he stared straight at Officer Lin, “Please select the alternate mecha 982, a mecha designed by a very good friend, who is very good, and this is his graduation design. But it still needs a little data adjustment and modification.” Ming Huan grinned a little bit, “Choose this number mecha, it will definitely pass.”

Federation’s 1st military academy.

After Ming Huan got written authorization from Xie Shuci, he drove the enclosed flying machine directly to the experimental building of the mecha department in the military academy together with Yu Hanzhou and Officer Lin.

Officer Lin had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn’t seem to understand why they had to follow the advice of the young dragon, who looked like an omega, and come to the Military Department to check out the mecha he was talking about. It was a complete waste of time, right?

With one glance at the mecha, Officer Lin didn’t think it could really make the leap – the mecha looked like a toy.

‘Yes, a young military academy student designed it, wasn’t it a toy?’

The mecha designed by Xie Shuci had some minor flaws and would need to be adjusted two or three times before it could make a truly accurate leap. Apparently there was no room for error, so he had to take authorization and make the minor repairs for Xie Shuci.

It was the first time Yu Hanzhou saw Ming Huan’s hand repairing and adjusting a mecha.

At times, the little dragon was sometimes violent and sometimes diffident.

At this time, he used his mental energy to concentrate, and even pulled out a private energy stone from his waist and filled it directly into the energy device.

“…”

“You actually hid energy stones.” Officer Lin was stunned.

Ming Huan was dressed in a sporty outfit today to make it easier to adjust the mecha up and down, and Xie Shuci’s mecha was genius in terms of design.

In the original, Xie Shuci was originally his first husband.

With the initial failure of his graduation work, the protagonist made a slight change and made it usable.

Thus, Ming Huan was very clear about this mecha’s practical operation and the problems it had – as long as the energy utilization and automatic balancing device were adjusted before the robot arm’s sensitivity was lowered, it would be okay.

Ming Huan dug into the mecha, trying to adjust the sensitivity.

With the mechanical arm slightly waving, Ming Huan used his intuition to adjust the data. Yu Hanzhou looked at the fingers that moved flexibly over the mecha before it finally fixed a suitable frequency, and then the sensitivity of the feet.

He was really skilled like an old officer who had been in the repair business for hundreds of years.

Officer Lin could not believe that this slim and small mecha really had the ability to leapfrog. The mecha worked flexibly and successfully connected to the energy stone before he had any sense of reality….

Could it be that this was really a leap mecha?

Officer Lin watched the mecha slowly levitate, and after very naturally adapting to Capital Star’s air pressure and gravity, Ming Huan’s operation gradually became more and more comfortable.

“Okay, that should do it!”

Yu Hanzhou did not think at all that Ming Huan could repair a mecha in style.

“Yu Hanzhou, the money you gave last time, to help pay you back, in return, well, this is worth about five million. In the future, if there is a chance to help you repair a few leapfrog fighters, oh, battleships are fine too….”

Ming Huan was obviously also very happy. He was warm and soft and did not lose excitement with the external output device to the two people standing in front of him. At the same time, he also manipulated the mecha to a very standard military salute.

‘Five million.’

Yu Hanzhou surveyed this mecha.

A mecha that was so light and flexible could not be more suitable for reconnaissance. Just by taking this one and selling it on the black market, it could be sold for five hundred million, or more.

“Ming Huan, is this the first time you’ve fixed a mecha?” Yu Hanzhou noted a point that seemed to be somewhere else.

“Uh, yeah…. What’s wrong?”

“Then how do you know that it is worth five million?”

“…. A wild guess.” Ming Huan scratched his head and coughed lightly. Professionalism let him make another sure assurance, “This mecha certainly has no problem, the data is right, all aspects of sensitivity and the balance device are adjusted, the most important thing is – energy matching frequency is also tuned so it is possible to leap immediately. “

“Energy matching frequency?”

Officer Lin sensed that something was wrong, and began to deeply doubt the maintenance level of this mecha, “Since it had energy for  one-time use, this mecha is also starts up one time, how can you be sure that the energy matching frequency is tuned?”

Officer Lin was usually a very rigorous person with obvious expressions, and he directly frowned as he asked the question.

“All the leap battle armor must go through an inspector’s hands-on test. If you talk like this irresponsibly, you’re playing with the life of the inspector….”

“No, it’s really well matched!”

Ming Huan was suspected of his actual professional skills level. He felt a little panicked, and the small mecha followed the master to make a somewhat shaky hand rubbing action, “Will not charge you indiscriminately, the repair is certainly able to get started before it’s handed to you!”

His hands were just as fast as his mouth.

His fingers were flying over the operation keys while debugging, like he was trying to prove something.

Yu Hanzhou sensed something and said in a stern voice, “Stop!”

However, the words were too late.

Whoosh.

A rift next to mecha instantly ripped open and directly sucked the mecha in in less than half a second.

It happened too fast.

A military academy student using another military academy student’s graduation design-

In just one second, a leap was completed.

Officer Lin’s eyes widened, and before he could react, he was plucked out by Yu Hanzhou’s stern, knife-like gaze, “Why did you provoke him?!”

Officer Lin was also confused.

The soft-looking child, just like that, engaged in a leap operation –

We can’t tell where he went, right?

The mecha has not been used, and the energy stone has not been measured.

There were many uncertainties.

This leap was quite dangerous.

‘Can the energy of the energy stone support a complete leap? How accurate was the mecha leap? Would it randomly leap to a fatal place…?’

Maybe all of these.

The young dragon cub did not even consider it.

Officer Lin’s face was also extremely ugly, “Admiral, it was a mistake.”

Yu Hanzhou did not have time to care about him, and immediately began to contact Capital Star’s monitoring station, “Query energy fluctuations, outside Capital Star, just had a battle armor leap, destination unknown, maybe a random leap, first from the surrounding star area, see if there is an energy movement. Yes, I need to immediately locate his leap point…. “

Officer Lin also did not think this alpha would be so unpredictable, not to mention his leap operation was so fast.

“Admiral, an alpha’s mental energy is relatively stable. If that’s really a leap mecha, he must be safe….”

Yu Hanzhou’s face was blue. Even his voice could not suppress his anger. “He is not an alpha, Lin Shan, he is an omega, SSS-level mental energy, in the differentiation period of an omega! Immediately go to the Military Department to urgently borrow a hunting fighter and go into the star field to locate him!”

On the other hand, in District 12, Ming Huan stood at the entrance of the bustling street, looking up at the huge earth fortress surrounded by hooded people – he just chose the safest coordinates within the twelfth district to transmit, and the twelfth district has many tourist planets, but….

‘This fucking.’

‘What the hell is this tourist area?’

The endless sand dunes and earth castles looked deserted.

Ming Huan was about to leap back directly when he suddenly saw someone selling melons under the city entrance.

The melon looked familiar….

‘Ahhh!’

‘It was a sand honey fruit, ah!’

His sand honey fruit crunchy bead bean pile black mountain rock box!

‘So it really was a tourist planet! It was the tourist planet that produced valuable fruits, ah!’

Ming Huan temporarily got out of his mecha. Without the protection of the bracelet, the dry sand dust instantly scraped against his face, covering him in dust.

His shoes were also filled with sand, and the coarse sand and dust cut painfully on his skin.

“Cough, cough, cough….”

The wind and sand filled his mouth and nose, causing him to cough repeatedly.

The straight storage space simply didn’t fit anymore, and Ming Huan re-piloted the mecha, once again determining the coordinates of Capital Star’s location. He even accurately went back to the roof of the mecha department’s laboratory building, just a hundred meters or so from where he had just left from.

The moment Ming Huan leapt back and the energy went off, Yu Hanzhou collected the alert from the monitoring station.

He leapt directly from the window, looking for the direction of the energy source. Even if he did not use his wings, he used his claws to climb up to the roof.

He almost lost control and almost revealed his original body.

He then saw the mecha leap back to the empty roof of the bridge.

When the little dragon came out of the mecha, he brought out a foot of yellow sand and scattered it all over the ground.

The young omega had been raised by him to be white and clean.

From this few minutes of work, the top of his head was covered with a layer of sand and even his eyelashes were covered with large yellow sand, not to mention his body.

Even his sweatshirt hood was full of rolling sand and dust.

A gust of wind blew over.

The little dragon holding the melon was choked by the sand, and the dust caused him to let out a big sneeze.

He then hen looked up to see Yu Hanzhou without saying a word, and moved towards him.

The melon was held high as if to take credit.

“Yu Hanzhou, I brought you a melon back!”

The cat seems to be out the bag… even if Lin Shan is sworn to secrecy, it can’t be hidden much longer.
Poor YH has his hands totally full with MH 😄 Hope the melon softens the reaction that follows!
Thank you both for the chapter.
