In the master bedroom of Chenxing Palace.

The atmosphere was as solemn as before the war.

Pei Ji's hand holding Chen Que still remained on his arm.

Trembling slightly.

He felt the Omega's body leaning against him due to weakness.

Pei Ji whispered, "What's wrong with the Queen... Can the Queen make other people's Omegas kneel all the time? What if their knees get hurt..."

Shen Que, the only one who could hear this complaint, was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked up at Alpha.

Pei Ji had a sharp and handsome face. Because he often raised the corners of his mouth, he always exuded the unruly and untamable aura of a young man.

Just like his pheromones.

Every particle is a flamboyant yellow sand.

While tearing others apart, he can also tear himself apart.

Carolina narrowed her eyes.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Her tone was calm.

If Pei Ji had not heard her give the order to destroy an entire planet in such a calm tone with his own ears, he would have really thought that the Queen was just asking casually.

The person before him was the Queen of the Ikaros Empire, the one who had inherited the devastated empire from the incompetent old emperor and had personally transformed it into its present prosperous state... the glory and pride of the empire.

Their eternal queen.

“Plop.”

Pei Ji knelt on one knee.

"I'm saying it's already late, Your Majesty Carolina. Even you shouldn't occupy someone else's Omega so late at night."

The air was suddenly silent.

It's over.

Pei Ji's mind went blank.

He actually told it out.

Isn't the Queen already thinking about how he'll die?!

Should they be stripped naked and hung at the palace gate to dry, or cut into pieces and fed to desert worms?

Pei Ji's throat rolled.

...If he really died, could he apply...to prevent Shen Que from remarrying?

He stole a glance at the commander.

I saw Shen Que also looking at him with a frown.

It's over.

Is he already thinking about who to marry?!

hateful.

What about the list of optical brain matches?

He wants to kill those people behind him!

Carolina looked at Pei Ji strangely, and after a while, she actually laughed out of anger.

"Battlefield Demon King, Zerg Nemesis, First Class Admiral of the Fourth Fleet—Pei Ji..."

She coldly read out Pei Ji's nickname on the Star Network.

"No wonder those old lords in the council say you're crazy... Why? Your Omega is so precious, and you won't even talk to us about it?"

Pei Ji, who already had one foot in the grave, raised his head in despair and said, "No, if you give it to me, it's mine."

Carolina's mouth twitched, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You—"

——Damn it, she doesn’t know how to curse!

The empress, who was born into a noble family, scored full marks in etiquette classes, and now shoulders the image of the Messiah, was stuck for a moment and could only stare at Pei Ji.

And her precious cabbage.

What an expression of fascination and worry.

Where's that noble, cold, and otherworldly First Commander?!

Feed the pigs, right?!

"Forget it..." She suddenly sighed, "Today, I was just overly concerned and made an inappropriate call."

"And I met a crazy pig."

"I'm in a bad mood, I'm hanging up!"

In the end, without waiting for Shen Que to speak to Pei Ji, he cut off the communication.

Shen Que picked up the terminal on the ground and sighed in his heart.

What do you mean by excessive concern for a moment... I guess he heard some duke talking about the gossip about him and Pei Ji at a tea party, and then he went to look up the negative trending searches on Star Network himself.

I know it's all made up, but I still can't help but read it...

It really makes me worry.

After putting away the terminal, Shen Que turned his head and saw that Pei Ji was still kneeling on the ground.

His usually flamboyant hair hung down droopily, like a dog in the rain.

Considering that the last clown who fought so hard with Carolina is still drying in the dungeon of the main planet.

Considering Pei Ji's recent act of seeking his own death, it's normal for him to suffer some PTSD.

Shen Que walked back to Pei Ji and shook Alpha's shoulder.

"Admiral?"

Pei Ji seemed to come to his senses suddenly, grabbed Chen Que's arm and held him in his arms.

"I was so scared..."

Unlike before, Alpha's embrace was weak, his arms barely resting on Shen Que's waist, his head resting on his neck.

It seemed as if the confrontation just now had used up all his strength.

Shen Que hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted Pei Ji's back, and felt a slippery hand covered with cold sweat.

A bluff guy.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

But this guy actually dared to defend him in front of the Queen.

Although it is not known whether it was out of responsibility or Alpha's ignorant possessiveness, and the voice was too soft for the Queen to hear it.

Shen Que was just about to say something to comfort him.

But Pei Ji whispered in his ear: "Commander, why are you talking to the Queen in the middle of the night? I was scared to death..."

"You know, I almost thought I was the third person just now... But the Queen is so much older than us... She shouldn't have any strange XP..."

Chen Que broke free from Pei Ji's embrace and, imitating his action not long ago, lifted the Alpha's chin, raising the head that was almost separated from the body.

"Why don't you dedicate this mouth of yours to the Empire?"

Pei Ji frowned, "How can that be? My mouth is related to your happiness for the rest of your life."

As he spoke, he moved closer to the back of Shen Que's neck and gently licked the gland.

A hint of floral fragrance escaped uncontrollably from the glands.

Shen Que uttered a "hmm".

The passively released Omega pheromones intertwined with the anxious Alpha pheromones in the air.

Pei Ji's tense nerves finally relaxed.

He licked the gland beside his mouth again with nostalgia.

So sweet.

If he hadn't buried his head in Shen Que's neck, he would have been able to see that the commander's eyes had become somewhat dazed.

Alpha's fiery pheromones tightly wrapped around the floral scent that escaped due to physical stimulation.

This action is so ambiguous, like a foreshadowing of a bite.

Is he going to bite him?

Subconsciously clutching Pei Ji's clothes, Shen Que closed his eyes, and waited for Alpha's next move as if completing a mission.

However, Pei Ji simply purged all the pheromones that overflowed from his neck, then straightened up and rubbed Shen Que's cheeks with his fingertips, which turned slightly red.

"Go to sleep."

He didn't bite after all.
