Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

Lian Ting opened his misty eyes, blinked twice, trying to wake himself up. "...What did you just say? Sorry...I didn't catch it."

Tang Chu repeated angrily: "I'm going to ask you for your crime!"

Lian Ting said "yes", sat up and stretched his shoulders a little, and was about to get down on the bed.Tang Chu pulled him back: "Why are you going?"

Lian Ting said: "Isn't the master going to question the crime? The instruments of torture are in the living room."

Tang Chu said heartbrokenly: "Lie down! I didn't let you go, you really..." He suddenly thought of something, rolled his eyes, and wanted to tease Lian Ting:

"No, you go and get it, go and come back quickly. It's the... pink thing you gave me today. Hey, let's see how I punish you!"

Lian Ting was stunned, "Yes."

He stepped over Tang Chu, his feet had already touched the ground, Tang Chu shouted again: "Wait a minute." He opened the terminal, entered the command, and after a while an ugly and short cleaning robot came in from the outside on wheels. Holding a large tray in front of him, he stopped in front of Lian Ting's legs.

Tang Chu lazily leaned against the head of the bed, pointing to its big tray: "Your wheelchair is downstairs, take it downstairs first." After speaking, he looked around, and finally pulled out the pillow under his back Throw it on the metal tray: "Here."

Lian Ting couldn't help but feel a sense of appropriateness when he watched Tang Chu complete a series of movements.This emotion was very strange to Yu Lianting, he frowned and suppressed this feeling forcibly.

Tang Chu saw Lian Ting's gaze resting on the robot's tray for a few seconds, and then looked at himself again, with a look like "Are you sure?"

Tang Chu thought that even he disliked his first completed work, so he became annoyed and said, "Just sit here!"

Lian Ting obediently sat on the ugly little robot and left the bedroom door.Tang Chu lay on the bed and waited boredly, gathering a trace of mental strength that he had finally recovered and putting it in front of him to play with.

It is easy to condense the spiritual power into an entity, as long as the mental power is strong enough; but it is not so easy to control the spiritual power of the entity.

Just like when Ren Chi used the mental power to modify the precision parts when making the machine, it was only exerting force to a certain point, instead of directly condensing the mental power into an entity outside the body and acting as another hand to apply.But after all, mental power and spiritual power are different, so can he find another way to make weapons?

Just as he was thinking of this, Lian Ting came back with his things. He got down from the tray and knelt by the bed, holding up the "instruments of torture" that Tang Chu had requested with both hands. "Master, please."

Tang Chu stared at the top of Lian Ting's head with resentment, and said darkly, "It seems that there is still some progress. Kneeling knows how to straighten your waist."

Lian Ting kept holding the object still, thinking about Tang Chu's meaning in his heart.He read on the Internet that as a slave, when kneeling, he should stick his whole body to the ground to show respect, but Tang Chu had clearly expressed dissatisfaction when he saw him kneeling and using the honorific title, so now he doesn't know Do you want to do what you want, or "disrespect" according to Tang Chu's wishes.

According to Lian Ting's understanding, since he was a slave in the early Tang Dynasty, he should be respected.

So he kept this posture without moving.

The two confronted each other for a while, Tang Chu couldn't bear it first, leaned over and pulled Lian Ting up.He gave up his seat, "Come in and lie down, you're still wet. ——I'll let you take a shower after answering my questions."

Lian Ting put the things within reach of Tang Chu, and obediently climbed into the bed and lay down.Tang Chu sat cross-legged facing Lian Ting and said condescendingly:

"How about the legs?"

Lian Ting replied: "Very good. Even better than before." He hesitated for a while, and wanted to ask how Tang Chu did it, but he didn't ask.

Tang Chu snorted: "Your legs are too comfortable, that's why you are troublesome! What are you kneeling for? Did you make you kneel?"

Lian Ting opened his mouth, but closed it again facing Tang Chu's angry expression.

Tang Chu suddenly sat up straight, staring at Lian Ting's eyes with deep eyes, and said seriously:

"Lian Ting, are you unwilling to let me be your master?"

Lian Ting's pupils narrowed slightly, and he denied it almost immediately: "No, I..."

"You don't talk yet."

Lian Ting lay uneasy and straightened the quilt, evening out the folds on it.

Except for what Tang Chu told him the day before yesterday that he didn't need to kneel down, he had never seen Tang Chu so serious in the past few days.

Before he really got to know Tang Chu, he didn't have a good feeling for the young master of the Tang family. He heard too much news about Tang Chu, and even in the serious legion, some subordinates were discussing Tang Chu's "deeds".He once had a subordinate who was abandoned by his family because of a mistake and sold to Tang Chu as a slave. As a result, before he could pull his hand to negotiate with Tang Chu, he got the news that the subordinate had been tortured to death the next day.

Although this kind of thing is not uncommon among the nobles, and the life of a slave is nothing to them, Lian Ting, who has never liked or disliked people, immediately became displeased with the young master of the Tang family. .

So three months ago, when Tang Tao pretended to cry to him that his eldest brother had separated from them on Red Star, he still went to rescue him with a feeling of reluctance.However, what he didn't expect was that when he really got in touch with Tang Chu, he didn't find any uncomfortable traits in him.

This is also one of the reasons why he chose to give himself to Tang Chu as an "adult gift" when he decided to degrade himself into slavery.

The empire has always been tolerant to the people, but not to the slaves, everyone knows this.Being a slave, man can hardly be called a man.However, during the few days when he became a slave in the early Tang Dynasty with trepidation, his master was extraordinarily tolerant of him as a slave.

This made him a little... frightened.

"I'll ask you a question first." Tang Chu's brows and eyes were full of seriousness. "Are you humiliating yourself on purpose?"

Lian Ting whispered: "Why do you say that?"

"It is undeniable that you have done a good job as a groveling slave. But the premise is that you are not Lianting. But if it is not you, but any other slave in front of me, I will not treat him like these days .”

"After all, you are the general of the empire, and your dignity does not allow you to be humiliated by others. But are you trying to get used to being humble? Do you want to get used to being manipulated at will? ——Although your master does not want to humiliate you , do you still want to completely reduce yourself to a slave from the inside out?"

"I know that you definitely don't have the idea of ​​complete obedience, even though you have already become my slave, and you intend to do so forever. In this case, I didn't force you, and I don't want to force you, why can't you let it go What about yourself?"

Lian Ting originally just listened to Tang Chu's words, but now he couldn't help but said: "Master... I'm sorry, I'm trying to adapt..."

"But why do you need to adapt?" Tang Chu interrupted him.

Lian Ting was rarely speechless, but said: "Because I am your slave now, and you... are very tolerant to me."

Tang Chu sneered and said, "From this point of view, maybe I shouldn't have been so pleasant to you in the first place, but tortured and entertained you, so that your spirit can still be there."

Lian Ting didn't know how to answer, and lowered the corners of his eyes.

Tang Chu sighed: "What are you thinking? Tell me the truth."

The posture of Lian Ting lying obediently on the bed with lowered eyelids made Tang Chu feel that he was inexplicably fragile.

"I want to be your slave seriously, because I feel a little... guilty."

Tang Chu raised his eyebrows, "How do you say it? Also, it's 'you'."

Lian Ting's seemingly obedient hands on both sides of his body were already so nervous that he twisted the sheet under the quilt into a bunch of twists.

"Originally I chose to be your slave. Although I used you, I didn't feel sorry, because I could... let you beat and scold me, and I didn't owe you anything. But you didn't."

Tang Chu said: "It's not really a use, I'm still very happy that you can choose me - you have vision!"

Lian Ting slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and continued:

"What you said to me earlier made me think that you meant to get along with me, not a simple slave."

Tang Chu said: "This is true. Not only that, I also want to be friends with you."

Lian Ting's eyes couldn't help but move, and he wanted to continue to say something, Tang Chu took his words:

"And then you got the 'I'm sending you' package, thinking I was treating you like a slave who could take it off at any moment, that my gentleness towards you was probably just a disguise, wasn't it?"

Lian Ting looked away in shame.

Tang Chu snorted, and said aggrievedly: "It was sent by Tang Tao, saying that it was something you could use. Don't even think about it. If I really meant to humiliate you, why do I have to give you sweet dates in advance? Son?"

Lian Ting's guilt almost overflowed from his body.

Tang Chu said: "What do you think of me treating you?"

Lian Ting said, "...very good, master."

"I told you before that I didn't treat you as a slave, so why do you still have such a fearful attitude? Are you afraid of me?"

Lian Ting shook his head, hesitated, then nodded slowly.

Tang Chu didn't let it out completely in one breath, but brought it up in another breath.He said angrily, "Then tell me, what is it about me that scares you?"

Lian Ting said seriously: "I really appreciate you."

Tang Chu was a little surprised. He didn't know why Lian Ting said such a sentence, but it didn't prevent him from feeling useful.Tang Chu couldn't help feeling a little complacent, cast a glance at him reservedly, hummed softly, and signaled Lian Ting to continue.

Lian Ting paused, "You... are very different from what I have heard before. You are very tolerant, kind, and very kind to slaves."

Tang Chu said: "Of course it's only for you. As I said, I don't treat you as a slave."

Lian Ting said: "I'm just...frightened. It's me who's in trouble, I don't deny... I've always been prejudiced against you."

Tang Chu narrowed his eyes: "So now? Is there still prejudice? Or just can't trust me?"

Lian Ting pursed his lips and fell silent.

Knowing the answer, Tang Chu thought aggrievedly, he had done so much to Lian Ting, but in the end, the other party couldn't even believe that he really wouldn't treat him as a slave?He was falling down, but Lian Ting spoke again:

"If you want...I want to get to know you formally...is that okay?"

Tang Chu's eyes lit up.He stretched out his hand impatiently, paused halfway, coughed lightly, and said reservedly:

"Tang Chu, 25 years old, a psychic supernatural being, studying in the fifth grade of the Empire's First Military Academy majoring in weapons manufacturing."

Lian Ting couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, sat up, and stretched out his hand to hold Tang Chu's. "Lian Ting, 28 years old, a wood-type supernatural being, a soldier of the Glory Legion of the Emperor Capital Star Garrison, with the rank of general."
