Chapter 187: Chapter 134: Humans Are Rapidly Catching Up

In the past half year, although Ai Xin’Er had been staying on the Wogte, following the fleet’s navigation through deep space and even witnessing several battles firsthand, her actual time spent meeting Shen Shi wasn’t much.

But every time they met, she could more clearly feel the changes in Shen Shi.

The military aura on him was becoming more intense, and the commanding officer’s, the general’s authority, was growing equally so.

The military is a place that can change a person.

But Ai Xin’Er knew very well that her husband was someone who valued family life more, even if ambition and desire could motivate him to work hard, that effort was only for a better life.

Shen Shi bowed his head, looking at his wife’s extraordinary beauty.

Originally, Ai Xin’Er was already stunningly beautiful at first glance, and after the Cell Activation Potion and some futuristic beauty products, she was even more breathtaking, like someone walking out of a painting, without a single flaw.

Plus, after becoming a wife, and following Shen Shi on a vast starry sea journey for over half a year, undergoing strenuous Primordial Energy Training, there was now a touch of mature and captivating charm between her brows—it would be no exaggeration to say that a single smile could captivate irresistibly.

Looking at her, Shen Shi could not help but question himself.

With such a beloved wife by his side, a soulmate with whom he could connect emotionally, even a heroic figure, a king might also linger in this gentle embrace, but earlier, his mind was full of work affairs...

Even with the Primordial Energy, over time, there could realistically be some psychological issues potentially arising.

After all, Primordial Energy is about controlling emotions, not suppressing them.

"You’re right, I shouldn’t be wound so tight."

Shen Shi eventually relaxed and wrapped his hand around Ai Xin’Er’s soft, boneless waist.

Thinking carefully, he indeed has been under quite a bit of pressure for most of this past year.

After all, the future history constantly reminded him of what happens if the history isn’t changed.

As of today, rather than ambition and desire driving him forward, it’s more the threats and responsibilities.

Because Shen Shi knew he could no longer easily say, "If we’re defeated, we can just escape."

Nevertheless, after introspecting, he felt that he should make some personal adjustments.

Otherwise, even if he managed to save humanity, he might not regain that which he initially desired.

"I originally planned to discuss some things with the Human Federation Council today, but perhaps I should take a few days off like these soldiers and spend time with family." Shen Shi nuzzled Ai Xin’Er’s smooth cheek and said softly, "Let’s go back home and invite Mom, my father-in-law, and mother-in-law for a meal."

"Okay, I’ll make the call."

Ai Xin’Er was also very happy; she looked up and gave Shen Shi a gentle kiss before making the phone call.

Shen Shi, watching her communicate with family, felt as if he returned to the beginning.

Back when he was just an ordinary college student.

Because this scene had appeared in dreams back then.

In nearly a year, he almost forgot that he wasn’t even twenty-four yet.

"Let’s take a three-day break." Shen Shi stood up, stretching a bit, "The first day with Mom and my in-laws, the second day with my wife, and the third day still with my wife."

"..." Ai Xin’Er, who had just returned from making the calls, blushed upon hearing this, but she said nothing, even quite looked forward to it.

Shen Shi was suppressing emotions with the Primordial Energy, and for most of this past year, hadn’t Ai Xin’Er been doing the same?

With the decision made, the following matters were simple.

Regarding Shen Shi’s plan to take a vacation, naturally, no one had objections; indeed, even if Shen Shi wanted to hold the Human Federation meeting today, it wouldn’t be easy. The fleet had just returned, and many matters needed discussing and addressing on all fronts.

For example, the placement of those seized warships, or perhaps arranging for the soldiers from various nations to return home, or even the placement of some prisoners...

Three days was still too short, at least four or five days would be hardly sufficient for free time.

However, ultimately, the true vacation time Shen Shi had was merely three days.

Starting from the fourth day, he lay in his own home but couldn’t continue spending intimate time with his wife; he instead allocated quite a bit of time to dealing with some matters.

Mainly providing suggestions.

Despite holding the position of the highest MP of the Human Federation, apart from being the highest commander of the Human Fleet, he only had the title of "Senior Consultant to the Human Federation Council."

What does that mean? It means providing advice on certain matters.

It’s not that Shen Shi couldn’t have more authority; he simply refused all other positions.

Greater authority also means greater responsibility.

Had there been more suitable candidates, he would not have even wanted the position of Fleet Commander; look at him recently, he’s nearly been molded into the shape of the troops.

One must know that holding control over Blue Star’s Star Sea and the "Star Sea" of space is enough to ensure his ability to have a say and to lead the life he desires.

More authority would only mean more burdens.
