Chapter 300: Chapter 102: Return to the Blue Star Empire_3
"Rob, they seem to be from the Imperial Guard?" Du Xixi’s tone was full of skepticism. She had seen the Imperial Guard before, every time she entered the palace to see Chen Yin, she could always spot members of the Imperial Guard guarding nearby.
The Imperial Guard, a team specifically tasked with protecting the Blue Star Empire’s Majesty, consisted of all mechas, and every one of them was designed and built by Chen Yin himself. Each was a "combat mecha" among mechas!
"That’s right!" Rob’s humanoid handsome face bore a gentle smile, but its mechanical eyes revealed no emotion, "The master has commanded, from today on, these members of the Imperial Guard are specifically assigned to protect the lady."
Du Xixi was already a legitimate member of the Imperial Family, and though the Imperial Guard is said to protect His Majesty Chen Yin, who could say they weren’t also meant to protect the entire Imperial Family?
After all, the Imperial Guard was established by Chen Yin himself, and each member inside was loyal to Chen Yin, following his commands. Chen Yin’s orders were goals they would strive to achieve with all their efforts.
Chen Yin sending his mechas to protect his own sister, who could say a word otherwise?
Having someone come to protect her, Du Xixi, who had been through life and death once, naturally wouldn’t refuse. Since it was her own brother who sent them, it wouldn’t give her any worry. Du Xixi simply swept her sleeve, unceremoniously collecting them all into her fold.
Thus, when Du Xixi and the others returned home, neighbors around the house noticed a few unfriendly-looking armored mechanical soldiers at the Ke Family’s door.
Moreover... why do these mechanical soldiers look so much like the Imperial Guard who regularly patrols near the Imperial Palace!?
The service on the spaceship was certainly good, but it was only upon returning home that Du Xixi and the others truly felt relaxed.
Ke Xing, who couldn’t stay idle, naturally took the two just-awoken children on a visit. The two five-month-old children were at the age where everything piqued their curiosity. Going out, they weren’t timid. Du Xixi even noticed Yiyi’s little head bobbing excitedly.
remembered the promise made on the spaceship, drew a lot of hot water for Du Xixi, and thoughtfully adjusted the temperature to a warm level. This way, by the time Du Xixi changed and went for a bath, the water temperature was just right.
"Madam, please go upstairs for your bath!" 2569 pulled out the luggage brought back from CD-0329 Star from the space button. Seeing the house had accumulated some dust, with only the tea eggs sent back a few days ago missing, it figured the master had likely been staying at the Military Department the entire time. "I’ll clean up the house. It’ll be ready soon!"
The title of Butler Robot for 2569 wasn’t just for show. Although its model was old, both its internal programming and external structure had been personally modified by Ke Lian, making it not inferior to the latest models of butler robots on the market.
The only difference, maybe, was that 2569 had far more short-circuit incidents than other butler robots. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, is it?
Du Xixi could naturally see the state of the house being unoccupied for a long time. Amused by Ke Lian’s workaholic nature, she put on a warm smile and said to 2569: "I’ll have to trouble you then!"
"Not at all!" 2569 obediently flashed a smiley emoji, and when it saw Du Xixi heading upstairs, it lowered its electronic screen, looking at the scattered luggage, feeling a little robot anxiety.
Earlier, when facing Du Xixi, 2569 was full of confidence, claiming it could handle everything, but once Du Xixi, the master, left, returning to normal mode, 2569 found the luggage almost overwhelming its program.
Fortunately, organizing luggage was somewhat easier than packing it. 2569 put on its home apron it carried, first thoroughly cleaning the house with water. Once the visible dust was gone, it placed the luggage where it belonged.
In just three hours, by the time Du Xixi finished her bath and had a brief afternoon nap, the whole house had been transformed anew.
If the house before tidying up looked like a bare-bones house, then now, it resembled a refined and decorated product, effortlessly capable of selling at a high price.
More important was the presence of the home’s scent.
Du Xixi walked over to the sofa, where a familiar cushion lay. Sitting down, she buried her head in its softness, immediately catching the familiar scent of tea eggs.
Indeed, it was the cushion accidentally taken by Yiyi during a tea egg eating session a few days ago, stepped on by Yiyi, which inevitably got stained with tea egg broth.
"2569, this can be washed, right?" With difficulty, Du Xixi lifted her head, noticing a barely noticeable dark spot on the ugly-cute dark brown cushion, and softly called out to 2569, who was mopping the floor.
All the various household chores were handled by 2569. And who knows what magical program Ke Lian installed in 2569 back then, but 2569 has an inexplicable obsession with doing chores.
