Chapter 490, Leaving (Yesterday’s Extra Meal)

The tribute that Belda civilization pays to its suzerain, the Holk Empire, every 100 years is like a heavy mountain that weighs down Belda civilization. Belda civilization has to make a very helpless choice to sell some of its citizens as interstellar slaves in order to obtain enough tribute.

For a long time, Belda civilization has no idea how many people have been sold. Every time, they send their children away with tears. There is no choice. Everything is for the continuation of civilization.

Now, with Tang Boyuan's words, Palpatine, the emperor of the Holk Empire, has to exempt Belda civilization from paying tribute. From then on, Belda civilization no longer has to sell its people to continue its civilization.

Waves of crying sounded in the hall. Even Bezos couldn't help crying at this time. At this time, he couldn't help thinking of his two children, several grandchildren, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes.

"If it had been a few decades earlier, maybe they..."

Thinking of this, Bezos didn't care about his image and cried out loudly like the other Belda people in the hall. This scene made people cry and feel sad.

Of course, Palpatine, the emperor of the Holk Empire, also knew that the Belda civilization sold children and daughters in order to pay tribute. He might not have had much expression on this before, but now, it has slightly touched the weakest part of his heart, and tears are flashing in his eyes, but this is just a flash, and it disappears immediately.

As the leader of a level 3 cosmic civilization, he also has his own helplessness. Every time the Holk Empire pays tribute to the suzerain behind it, the Holk Empire will also lose a layer of skin. Although it has not reached the point of selling children and daughters, the life of the Holk Empire may not be much better than that of the Belda civilization.

After all, the Level 3 cosmic civilization is also an object of exploitation. Above it, there are powerful civilizations at the level of galactic overlords. They also have to pay tribute to their overlords regularly, and it is also very difficult to complete the tasks assigned by their overlords.

If it were not for the big figures of the super overlord Yanhuang Empire to come forward in person, Palpatine would not have been able to exempt the Belda civilization from paying tribute. Although this 100 billion tribute is nothing to the Holk Empire, no matter how small the words are, it is meat, and it can also reduce the pressure on the Holk Empire.

As for whether this piece of meat will crush the Belda Empire, this is not what Palpatine cares about. The universe is a cold jungle. Either you eat me or I eat you. Everything is just to continue your own civilization and race and better control your own destiny.

The Belda civilization held a grand celebration ceremony to celebrate this moment. The news that there is no need to sell children anymore quickly spread throughout the Belda civilization like a whirlwind. In every communication of the Belda civilization, the Belda people celebrated crazily in their most enthusiastic way.

Countless Belda people hugged and cried!

Tang Boyuan, as a hero who saved the Belda people, although Bezos repeatedly invited Tang Boyuan to participate in various huge celebrations of Belda civilization, in Tang Boyuan's view, this is not as important as enjoying beauty himself.

Because they saved Caroline and Lucia's brother, and saved Belda civilization, the two sisters were very obedient to Tang Boyuan and used all their skills to serve Tang Boyuan, so that Tang Boyuan almost broke his old waist.

Similar to Tang Boyuan, as a hero who saved Belda, the members of the expedition team also enjoyed the same treatment in Belda civilization. If it was for the purple wheel coins in the hands of the expedition team before, now they are completely serving the members of the expedition team like masters from the bottom of their hearts, and now even if they are paid, Belda will not accept it. Anyone who accepts money will definitely be despised by others.

Happy times are always short. After Bezos' repeated requests, the expedition team also rested for more than a month in Belda civilization and had to choose to set off again.

"Caroline, Lucia, I'm leaving. I'll come back when I have time."

Tang Boyuan looked at the two beauties hugging his arms tightly, and he was reluctant to leave. However, he knew that he could have an affair outside, but he must not bring them home. Otherwise, if the tigress at home knew about it, he would definitely have to kneel on the washboard.

Tang Boyuan looked at those people who boarded the spacecraft in pairs with envy. These people were basically bachelors. Now, basically, they were all holding their beautiful wives and preparing to take them back to the empire. Bachelors naturally had no such scruples.

"Sir, can't you really take us back with you? We will never cause any trouble to you. We are willing to be slaves or maids. We will never be jealous. We just ask you not to ignore us."

Caroline's eyes were full of tears. She looked at the man in front of her with a look of reluctance. In her heart, Tang Boyuan was a hero, a hero who saved her brother and the entire Belda civilization. She just wanted to be a hair on Tang Boyuan's body so that she could be with him forever.

Lucia on the other side was the same. Tears in her eyes fell like a curtain of beads. She held Tang Boyuan's arms tightly with both hands, and had no intention of letting go. She knew that if she let go, she would not know when they would meet again.

"Okay, okay, I said I would come often, and I will definitely come often. When have I ever lied to you? I have a mission. After I complete the mission, I will come often."

Tang Boyuan gently stroked the heads of the two and said helplessly. There was no way. He was cheating outside at his age, and he definitely could not bring it home.

"Old Tang, it's time to go. Just come often in the future. Anyway, with the warp engine, it's very fast to travel."

On the other side, Dong Zhifei also hugged left and right, with a smile on his face.

"Well, let's go."

Tang Boyuan nodded, and his vitality moved gently. Like a loach, he emerged from the arms of the two sisters and walked towards the passage leading to the space battleship.

"Sir!"

Caroline and Lucia cried like a tearful child, reluctantly watching Tang Boyuan gradually go away, and also looked at the sisters who could leave with him with envy.

The warships and spaceships of the expedition team started up again. In the void, the Belda civilization held the most solemn farewell ceremony. Spaceships, space warships, etc. lined up in the void to form a wide avenue of stars to bid farewell to the expedition team.

PS: I guess some people will say that I am not good enough, but this is a foreshadowing for the empire to enter the Milky Way later. Can you guess it?
