[HSRGSS] Chapter 48: Sudden Confession
🕑 Added 2025-07-21 00:25:35 +0000 UTC'So... that heavenly aid was that Emanator's power?'
Upon hearing Yueye's voice message, Xuanquan was completely shocked.
Since when did an Emanator of Abundance have that kind of destructive power?
Everyone knew that the strength of an Emanator of Abundance lay in how hard they were to kill, not in their offensive capabilities.
It was the Emanators of the Hunt and Destruction who were known for their devastating attack power.
Now there was an Emanator of Abundance who was not only incredibly hard to kill but could also casually throw a planet to smash people—wasn't that a bit too much?
Fortunately, that Emanator was on their side for now, or else the Xianzhou Fanghu would have been doomed.
Amid her shock, Xuanquan had now truly seen with her own eyes what 'above the sky, there's still another sky' really meant.
Meanwhile, while everyone was still stunned by the sudden appearance of Koolur and the Xianzhou Yaoqing, Koolur moved directly toward Ketu Mirage.
As Koolur arrived before Ketu Mirage, a thick tentacle stretched out from Koolur's surface and pierced straight into the core of Ketu Mirage, absorbing its energy with a storm-like suction.
Ketu Mirage struggled to escape, but was pinned down by the much stronger Koolur, unable to move until it was completely drained and left as a dull, lifeless wasteland.
Meanwhile, Koolur's vitality only grew stronger, and it even produced countless new resources across its surface.
As for the rest of the Abundance forces, they had already been wiped out by the Holyflame Meow Order led by Feixiao and the Verdant Knights led by Yueyu.
Thanks to them, the Fanghu and the other Xianzhou reinforcements didn't gain a single achievement in this war and could only watch helplessly.
"Unbelievable..."
"It's fine if we didn't get any achievement. At least we're still alive."
"Yeah, without them, we probably wouldn't have made it back."
All the Cloud Knights from the Luofu couldn't help but feel admiration.
Just like that, the Third Abundance War, which was supposed to end in tragedy, ended in a way that almost seemed like a joke.
When the Xianzhou Alliance heard about Koolur and the Yaoqing's deeds, they immediately sent a congratulatory message, then decided to increase the number of Xianzhou assigned to cooperate and communicate with Koolur.
For example, the Fanghu volunteered.
Naturally, the main reason was that their debt was way too high!
When Xuanquan saw the massive bill for the reinforcements, she was on the verge of tears. Just because they didn't have a cooperation contract with Koolur, they had to pay the fee for reinforcements.
Just those ten resource-rich planets alone were enough to keep the Fanghu working for free for thirty years!
"Fine, I'll sign the debt bill!" Xuanquan said decisively. "And I'll sign the cooperation contract too! From now on, support is free!"
If they didn't cooperate now, what would happen if they needed Koolur's reinforcements again in the future?
And so, the Fanghu officially began their cooperation with Koolur.
===
Koolur.
At this moment, many people, whether from the Xianzhou Alliance or Koolur, were holding victory banquets, celebrating across the entire planet.
As the noise of the banquet drifted on the wind, growing faint and distant, Feixiao—now the famous White Fox King—stood alone in Lucian's private courtyard, moonlight outlining her tall figure, her white hair gleaming with a cold light under its glow.
Feixiao had now shed the ruthless aura of the day, allowing her features to reveal a rare, gentle beauty.
"Escaping the crowd again?"
Lucian asked casually, his voice gentle as he handed a cup of tea to Feixiao.
Feixiao accepted it without even looking, her fingertips briefly brushing the back of Lucian's hand before she took a sip.
In that instant, the sweet warmth of the tea seemed to drive away part of the night's lingering chill.
"It's just... a bit too noisy..."
Feixiao replied in a voice lower than usual, carrying a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
Lucian leaned silently against the railing beside her, saying nothing—just keeping her company as the moonlight washed over them both, casting long shadows that gradually merged into one.
Now that he was beside Feixiao, Lucian could catch the faint scent on her—smoky, mingled with a sharp, cold fragrance.
Thankfully, the silence between them wasn't awkward, not after twenty years of shared understanding.
Yes, twenty years.
Twenty years had already passed, yet the script was still not finished.
Lucian glanced at Feixiao's chest, noting how beautifully it had developed—a sign that she had grown into an adult.
Now, Feixiao had also become a qualified leader—the highest military officer of Koolur, and her master, Yueyu, was still alive as well.
What else was left to do?
Lucian fell into thought, trying to figure out what else was needed for the script to be complete.
Before long, as Lucian remained deep in thought, Feixiao turned her head to glance at his profile, seeing him still as sharp and handsome as ever. She had to admit, her brother was better-looking than any man she had ever seen in her life.
Gazing dazedly at Lucian, fragments of memory suddenly flashed before Feixiao's eyes.
When she narrowly won her first battle, she had excitedly jumped up and hugged her brother's neck, laughing.
When she learned how to write by herself, the first word she wrote was her brother's name.
Whenever she was hurt, her brother always treated her wounds gently.
Amid countless crises, her brother was always there to protect her.
All those moments—once defined as 'family'—now rippled through her heart like stones dropped into a lake, stirring up waves called 'possessiveness' and 'desire.'
"Brother..."
Feixiao suddenly called out.
Lucian snapped out of his thoughts and immediately turned to glance at Feixiao, but as soon as he did, she reached out her finger and, with an irresistible force, gently pressed it to his lips.
Needless to say, Feixiao's gesture was far too intimate—far too bold.
As a result, Lucian felt all the blood in his body rush to the spot she touched.
Feixiao slowly withdrew her finger, stepped forward, and fully entered Lucian's personal space, bringing them so close they could feel each other's warmth, could see their reflections in each other's eyes.
"Brother..."
Feixiao's voice was low but clear.
"It's been twenty-five years."
"From the moment you helped me, I could never accept anyone else."
"You were the one who pulled me from that hell."
"You taught me to hold a sword, taught me how to survive, taught me... what it means to live."
Feixiao's eyes locked onto Lucian's, emotion crashing in them like waves—so strong it nearly drowned him.
"I used to rely on you, look up to you, saw you as my only family, my only support... but at some point, all of that changed..."
As soon as these words left her mouth, Feixiao leaned forward slightly, her breath brushing Lucian's forehead.
"My heart beats out of control when you're near."
"My eyes always follow you without thinking."
"When I see you talking and laughing with other women, my chest tightens."
"I know this isn't gratitude, isn't dependence, and it sure as hell isn't some damned sibling affection!"
Feixiao's voice suddenly rose, hard and decisive.
"Brother—no, I'm not calling you that anymore! I want to say your name. I want to have you, to hold you, to kiss you, to spend the rest of my life with you!"
Feixiao's sudden confession was like thunder cracking in the quiet night sky—frank, blazing, with nothing held back, direct and fierce.
"I..."
Lucian didn't know how to respond.
In fact, he had long realized that Feixiao's feelings for him had changed, but he never thought it would all explode tonight.
As Lucian was still processing Feixiao's sudden confession and figuring out how to respond, she gave him no time to hesitate—a flash of unyielding light crossed her eyes as she rose onto her toes and pressed a quick kiss to his lips.
A huge white moon hung in the sky, spilling its light over the two of them, wrapping them in silver.
A while later, taking advantage of the night, right there in the little courtyard, Feixiao's sighs and moans echoed like a melody, filling the entire courtyard.
