139: Chapter 139 A Kiss Under the Stars, Spreading This PDA to the Whole World

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

This sentence was like a key that opened Pandora's box.

Academician Chen Shuyin's eyelashes trembled violently. As a top student in the sciences, she naturally understood this subtle and classic confession.

There was no need for further verbal preparation, nor for any grand promises of eternal love.

In space, four hundred kilometers above the ground, in an absolute domain where even gravity had to retreat, all defenses of reason collapsed at this moment.

Her tiptoes finally touched the ground.

Because Jiang Chen lowered his head and kissed her.

"Buzz—"

The moment their lips touched, the artificial gravity system of the luan niao starship seemed to "know its place" and lowered its power.

A sense of weightlessness washed over them.

Academician Chen Shuyin's starry gown, studded with tiny diamonds, floated slowly under the effect of microgravity, like a Blue Enchantress blooming in the deep sea. Her long hair fanned out, dancing in the air like ink-black algae, reflecting the brilliant galaxy outside the window.

The two of them floated like this in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling porthole.

Behind them was the blue Earth; above them, the vast starry sky.

This scene was so beautiful it didn't seem of this world, beautiful enough to make time stand still.

Jiang Chen gripped her waist tightly, feeling the violent heartbeat of the person in his arms. In this cold, dead universe, their mutual body heat became the only reality.

However.

This couple, immersed in their own world, did not know that less than twenty meters behind them, a "catastrophic" live streaming accident was taking place.

In the corner of the deck.

Zhao Gang, who was in charge of watching the child, was facing away from them, focused entirely on the tactical tablet in his hand, monitoring the safety of the surrounding airspace.

And that Pikachu, which he had placed on the control console, was boredly licking its paws.

It blinked its big eyes, looking around.

Suddenly, its gaze was attracted by a flashing red button on the console.

That was the [Signal Block Key] that Jiang Chen had pressed when he cut the live stream earlier. At this moment, it was in the "OFF" state, flashing with an alluring red light.

"Pika?"

The little guy curiously leaned over, stretched out its short, chubby little paw, and tentatively poked it.

"Beep."

The red turned to green.

At the same time, the high-definition wide-angle camera facing the observation deck rotated silently, auto-focused, and locked onto the pair of lovers kissing.

Signal, connected.

...

On Earth, all major live streaming platforms.

The screens, which had been pitch black because Jiang Chen had ended the stream, suddenly lit up without warning.

Hundreds of millions of viewers who hadn't had time to log off were instantly struck dumb by the scene before them.

There was no sound.

Only extreme image quality and extreme romance.

In the picture, the huge arc of the Earth emitted a soft blue light. On the observation deck of that towering warship, a man and a woman were floating in mid-air, kissing passionately.

The man had a tall, straight posture, and the woman's skirt fluttered.

With the galaxy as a backdrop and the Earth as the base.

Was this a live stream? This was clearly the ending of an epic sci-fi romance movie currently in theaters!

After a three-second pause, the barrage exploded like a nuclear bomb.

[Holy sh*t!!!!!!]

[My eyes! My titanium alloy dog eyes!]

[Is this really a live stream? Is this a movie? This lighting, this composition, this atmosphere... I'm suffocating!]

[Is that God Jiang? Who is that woman? Her back is so beautiful! This public display of affection... is being scattered from space!]

[I was just eating instant noodles, and now I feel like the noodles in my hand aren't tasty anymore. Is this what a high-quality human male's dating life looks like? Taking a girl to space to watch the stars?]

[A single dog has been critically hit! Tons of critical hits! I'm reporting this! Someone is abusing dogs in space!]

The whole world went crazy.

Twitter, Weibo, and all major forums crashed instantly.

Whatever Photonic Chip, whatever sanctions from the Eagle faction, none of it mattered at this moment.

Everyone was stunned by this "world-famous painting."

Is this the man who owns an interstellar warship?

Is this the romance of a technology overlord?

This is just too damn enviable and jealous-making!

And on the observation deck.

The kiss ended.

Academician Chen Shuyin pushed Jiang Chen away, panting, her face as red as if it were dripping blood. She couldn't stand steadily in the weightless state, so she could only clutch Jiang Chen's collar tightly, her eyes hazy, her voice soft and sweet:

"Jiang Chen... you..."

"What about me?"

Jiang Chen licked his lips, still savoring the moment, looking at the shy woman before him, in a great mood. "Do you think... my technique isn't bad?"

"Scoundrel!"

Academician Chen Shuyin spat at him, but buried her head in his chest, completely unwilling to leave.

"Ahem!"

Just then, Zhao Gang's extremely awkward, even slightly terrified cough came from behind.

"Boss... um..."

Jiang Chen turned his head and saw Zhao Gang pointing at the console in despair.

There, Pikachu was staring blankly at the green button, and the screen next to it was scrolling wildly with barrages from all over the world.

[Kiss again! Kiss again!]

[Don't stop! We paid for the membership!]

[Is this the sister-in-law? God Jiang is so lucky!]

Jiang Chen: "..."

Academician Chen Shuyin followed his gaze, and when she saw the content on the screen, her whole body instantly stiffened, and then she let out a scream that could pierce eardrums:

"Ah—!!!"

She covered her face abruptly and turned to dive into the elevator, moving as fast as a stream of photons.

Social death.

Total social death.

This time it wasn't in a villa, it was in front of billions of people around the world!

Jiang Chen looked at the fleeing Academician Chen Shuyin, then looked at the innocent-looking Pikachu, and helplessly supported his forehead.

"You rat..."

"Well, now the whole world knows I'm dating."

He wasn't angry; instead, he showed a carefree smile at the camera.

Since he had been seen, he would just openly admit it.

"Everyone, just now..."

Jiang Chen pointed in the direction Academician Chen Shuyin had disappeared, his eyes gentle:

"Let me introduce her."

"That is my chief scientist, and also... my boss's lady."

"That's it for today's live stream. If I keep streaming... I'm afraid I'll have to kneel on the keyboard when I get home."

After speaking, he walked over, picked up Pikachu, and decisively cut the power.

...

However.

What Jiang Chen didn't know was.

This live stream called "Romance" did not just cause a sensation on Earth.

This signal, which crossed dimensions, was also faithfully retransmitted by the system that was far away in the Wasteland, constantly monitoring the Father God's activities.

Wasteland, Dawn City.

In front of the huge holographic screen, the air was as cold as if frozen by liquid nitrogen.

"Crack."

A crisp sound.

The exquisite crystal cup that Jiang Wanqiu was using to hold grape wine was crushed into powder.

Bright red wine flowed down her fair fingers, dripping onto the floor, looking shocking, very much like blood.

She stared intently at the final frame frozen on the screen.

That kiss.

That smile.

And that "boss's lady."

"Boss... lady?"

Jiang Wanqiu's voice was very soft, so soft it was like a whisper.

But Grand Commander Lei Zhen, who was standing nearby, felt as if he had been locked onto by an ancient beast, all the hair on his body stood up, and his legs couldn't stop shaking uncontrollably.

"Your... Your Majesty..."

"Shut up."

Jiang Wanqiu slowly stood up.

The flowing gown she was wearing for the celebration shattered instantly with the terrifying energy erupting from within her.

Black nano-armor covered her entire body as if it had a life of its own, the face mask closed, revealing only a pair of eyes as red as if they were dripping blood.

That was jealousy.

It was anger.

It was the terrifying possessiveness belonging to a female emperor that would not allow others to touch.

"That woman..."

"That weakling who can't even hold a knife steady..."

"Actually dared to... actually dared to defile my Father God?!"

Jiang Wanqiu drew the alloy war sword from her waist and slashed at the holographic projection in front of her, shattering the image.

"Unforgivable!"

"Unpardonable!"

She turned abruptly and strode out of the bedroom, every step causing the floor to boom.

"System!"

She roared at the void, her voice as shrill as a ghost:

"Get out here!"

"I want to redeem! I want to cross over!"

"No matter how much energy it takes! No matter the cost! Even if it means sacrificing this planet!"

"Now! Immediately! Right now!"

"Open that damn channel for me!!!"

"I'm going over there... to chop that vixen to pieces!!!"
