Chapter 3 | Recognition

"I think... I'm the alien star he was talking about." After a long silence, Qi Mingyue's immature voice sounded in Xuantian Palace.

"Do you think I don't know? My son." Qi Xutian put his little body on the dragon bed and kissed him on his white and tender face.

Qi Mingyue couldn't help but be stunned, "I thought that as an Emperor, what you should do at this time is to order me to be killed."

"Do you know why I invited the Grandmaster to your hundred-day banquet?" Qi Xutian lazily laid on his back and let Qi Mingyue rest on his chest, "It was for you."

"For me? Isn't it a custom?"

He didn't expect Qi Xutian to have seen his unusualness a long time ago, or it might be the result of his own inability to cover-up in time because he had not expected that his father in this life would be such a person.

"You only need to know that no matter how different you are, in this life, you are my son. No matter what happens, I will protect you." Qi Xutian's deep and focused eyes, as well as his words, made Qi Mingyue feel moved. Even while talking to him, he no longer used Imperial We[1].

"Even if I have the power to cause calamity, take the life of my mother, and am destined to not continue the royal bloodline?" For a prince, any one of them was enough for an Emperor to abandon him.

Qi Xutian laughed, "Let calamity come then, when has the world been peaceful anyway? Killing your own mother doesn't bother me, as for the lack of descendants..." Seeing Qi Mingyue's cute little face trying to look serious, he laughed more, "Do you think I care about the blood of the royal family? In this world, it's the capable people who always live! What does MingEr think?"

"You really are ruthless..." For him, his consort mother was only one of the women in the harem. "It seems that even if I really killed my mother one day, you won't be sad."

"Do you care about her?" After a moment of pondering, Qi Xutian continued, "An Ruolan does treat you well and does a lot of things without leaving traces. For you, all possible dangers were eliminated."

Qi Mingyue remembered those maids who disappeared for no reason. "Mother has treated me very well, but it's not like that. I think no one in the world would like to take the life of their mother."

Not knowing what Qi Xutian thought of, he sighed, "If one day, you must kill her..."

"I won't let her die by my hands."

"And then?"

"Then? I'll naturally continue to live my life," he sneered lightly, "Don't forget, I'm the so-called alien star. I have nothing to do with her except this body. Unless you want me to die for her?" Moreover, his consort mother was not a weak and innocent woman. Some of her concern for him was because of maternal love, and it was also for her own future that his birth symbolised. He always knew that but didn't care.

"You're really ruthless..." Qi Xutian said but the smile in his eyes revealed his approval. He knew that the child in front of him was not weak.

"I'm not ruthless, just different from other people." Qi Mingyue never thought he was cold-blooded and ruthless, but he was not a kind-hearted person either.

After listening to his words, Qi Xutian laughed, "It turns out that MingEr is just like me, no wonder I like you." He patted the child on his chest. He closed his eyes slightly, not knowing what kind of thoughts went through his mind, "I don't know if in your eyes I'm like your mother? Someone to throw away?"

Qi Mingyue was helpless, and his small body was lying in Qi Xutian’s arms and he scanned his face, "Your blood runs through my veins, but in a sense, I am not your son. Don't you mind that?"
