It is impossible for a man who once endured the most cruel torture in the world and remained calm and acted normally to lose control because of such a mild AO pheromone addiction.
Su Liang was very clear about this, not to mention that a certain Alpha who suddenly became extremely weak and sensitive had no intention of hiding it.
But so what? Perhaps it was because the man's aura was too strong, or maybe it was because someone as shallow as Su Liang completely succumbed to the temptation of beauty. He found that he seemed unable to truly refuse the man in front of him.
Su Liang curled up in Lu Taipan's arms, breathing a little rapidly. He could feel the arms of the Lord of the Snake Cave tightly restraining him. Even through his military uniform, he could sense the solid, powerful body of the top-level Alpha, as well as the body temperature that was constantly transmitted to him.
The natural size difference between Omega and Alpha made Su Liang's face directly pressed against Lu Taipan's chest. Even with the slightest whisper, Su Liang could feel the slight vibration of the man's chest.
And a strong heartbeat.
"Thank you very much for providing me with pheromones." Su Liang heard Lu Taipan's whisper - it was completely pretended, as if it was a polite and restrained tone.
But the man's actual actions were not like that at all.
Su Liang subconsciously tried to break free from Lu Taipan's arms, but as soon as he moved, he was pushed back.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I've been comforted enough."
Alpha said in a deep voice.
The alloy material of the metal bite stopper brought a slight chill when it came against the boy, and the man's breath fell on the tip of the boy's ear. Under the effect of the restrainer and inhibitor, Lu Taipan's pheromones were actually so faint at this time that even the most sophisticated instruments could not detect them.
But Su Liang could still clearly feel its presence.
The scent of burning incense almost overwhelmed the eerie, damp chill. At this moment, Lu Taipan's pheromones smelled rich, strong and ambiguous, as if he was seducing someone.
"Mr. Si, we are still in a public place." Several minutes passed, and Su Liang reminded him with a hint of annoyance and gritted teeth.
"I know."
Lu Tai leaned close to his ear and snorted lazily and roguely.
"But I haven't calmed down yet, really."
...especially in a certain part of the body.
Lu Taipan moved his posture slightly and proved this to Su Liang very sincerely.
The next second, Su Liang froze in his arms as expected, not daring to move.
"you--"
"Don't worry, it's just armor."
Lu Taipan explained.
It was a very small lie, but it made Su Liang breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at this young man, the Lord of the Snake Cave suddenly felt a strong hunger in his throat.
"Hurry up and differentiate successfully, Xiaoliang."
There was a heat in the hoarse whisper that was hard to ignore.
Once the differentiation is successful, Su Liang will be able to receive the official mark.
Both Lu Taipan and Su Liang were very clear about the desire behind this sentence.
Su Liang's ears had turned completely pink, and he buried his head in Lu Taipan's arms.
It took a long time before Omega could hear a slightly exasperated response from deep in Alpha's arms.
"I'm already trying my best."
The boy with a red face but trying to stay calm in front of his lover is so cute that I want to put him directly into my mouth.
Lu Taipan unconsciously exerted force and pulled Su Liang closer to his arms.
At this moment, a slightly hesitant electronic sound of the bionic man came from the side of the two of them.
"For the sake of my new body, should I come back later?"
The two figures that were close together in the rest area quickly separated. To be precise, the frightened Su Liang quickly pushed Lu Taipan away.
"Mr. Butler!"
Su Liang took a deep breath before turning to face the butler, his face still red.
"We were just doing pheromone treatment, and there was no... Never mind, it's all right now."
Su Liang sighed in self-abandonment.
"…Is there something wrong?"
The butler was still wearing the factory-set silicone face of a bionic man today. He looked at Su Liang, then at Lu Taipan, and his electronic eyes flashed slightly.
When Lu Taipan saw the flash of light at that moment, his eyes paused slightly.
But the housekeeper's subsequent behavior was very natural.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your 'normal' medical mutual assistance."
The AI said briskly.
"However, the Medical Department has found some special clues in the ancient books of the Leia people. Some sentences mentioned in those books may explain the connection between you, Master Su Liang, and the Flower of Leia. The medical officers who discovered this have therefore very sincerely invited you to take a look at the ancient book."
"Ancient books? Are you saying that my ability to make the Leia plants bloom and bear fruit is really related to the Leia people?! Then I really should go and take a look--"
When Su Liang heard that the Medical Department had found the connection between the Flower of Leia and himself, his eyes widened. He became interested instantly and was about to accept the invitation to go to the Medical Department, but then he remembered something.
"Sorry, Mr. Si, I forgot to confirm your itinerary.
He whispered to Lu Taipan.
According to the original arrangement, Su Liang should have stayed with Lu Taipan the whole day, but if he went to the medical department, it would probably delay Lu Taipan's official duties.
Lu Taipan raised his hand and pressed the invitation confirmation button from the Medical Department on the floating screen for Su Liang.
He placed his hand on Su Liang's back and pushed him towards the AI.
"I have a meeting later. You'll have to wait outside during the meeting anyway, so you might as well use this time to head to the medical department."
Lu Taipan said.
"But……"
Seeing that Su Liang was still a little hesitant, Lu Taipan's expression was unusually gentle.
"I'm not to the point where I'd go crazy if you left me."
The man comforted helplessly.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that just now, he said with confidence that his pheromone addiction had broken out and he needed another person's hug to heal it.
In the end, Su Liang felt relieved and left with the housekeeper.
But as he looked at the boy's receding back, the warmth and tenderness on Lu Taipan's face instantly faded away.
The man with dark eyebrows and eyes exuded a chilling coldness.
He tapped his headset.
"Condition?"
He only said two words.
After he and Su Liang decided on the treatment, all their schedules were carefully planned. The Medical Department couldn't possibly be unaware of this, but they sent this low-level invitation to Su Liang, and during Lu Taipan's working hours - this can only mean that this invitation was specially arranged.
It was an excuse deliberately prepared by the housekeeper to get Xiaoliang away from him. Something happened related to Su Liang, and artificial intelligence needs to be reported separately.
The next second, the butler's voice came from the headset.
"I just received information that Lu Zhengen used his status as acting head of the family to delay the start of Lu Zhizhao's confinement."
After hearing the report, Lu Taipan's eyes instantly turned cold.
...Lu Zhizhao's ban was issued by him personally, but if Lu Zhengen postponed the effective time, it would mean that Lu Zhizhao could still move freely during this period.
"reason?"
"The person is suffering from a life-threatening injury. In this case, the ban can be delayed until he recovers from the serious injury." The housekeeper responded, "When we handed Lu Zhizhao over to the Lu family's main residence, we confirmed that his life was not in danger. However, as the acting head of the family, Lu Zhengen can indeed use his authority to blur this point."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler played a video directly on Lu Taipan's personal terminal.
Lu Zhizhao, who has returned to the First Star Zone, has woken up from a long period of forced coma. From his posture and movements in the video, it can be seen that he has undergone a full-body bone replacement surgery.
However, after suffering a huge blow, Lu Zhizhao could no longer be the pampered young master he used to be. In the picture, the young Alpha is emaciated and looks frighteningly thin, with even his cheeks sunken. The video was obviously shot in the empty space of the shooting range inside the Lu family. The virtual human target moved quickly in the venue, and Lu Zhizhao just raised his hand with an indifferent look, as if he pulled the trigger of the laser gun without even aiming.
Following a few slight sounds, large patches of hideous blood suddenly bloomed on the virtual human target.
Brain, eyeballs, chest, limbs—
During the judgment, the virtual human target suffered multiple fatal injuries, and then the projection turned into tiny spots of light in the void.
The shooting result appeared on the other side of the screen, and it was a high score.
But after seeing the score, Lu Zhizhao had no expression on his face. Instead, he stared at the place where the virtual target disappeared. His sight seemed to have traveled through space and landed in a very far place.
After a long time, the muscles on his face twitched and he revealed a strange and hideous smile.
"...His mental strength is still damaged. Lu Zhengen has urgently dispatched a large number of mental repair technicians, but from the feedback, Lu Zhizhao's condition is not good."
However, simply because his mental strength was damaged, Lu Zhizhao was given freedom beyond the prescribed range.
It is obvious that Lu Zhengen's behavior is a blatant challenge to Lu Taipan's authority.
But this does not conform to Lu Zhengen's usual rules of conduct.
Lu Taipan soon realized this.
Yes, Lu Zhengen is quite greedy. This man, whose brother took away everything from him, is extremely eager for power, status and wealth, but he is also extremely afraid of death. Theoretically speaking, Lu Zhengen did not have the courage to go against Mrs. Lu so obviously.
The butler quickly gave the reason for this.
"Lu Zhengen has officially reached an alliance with the Ning family." The electronic voice narrated in the headset, "Ning family's young master Ning Jiayi and Lu Zhizhao will be married soon. Obviously, our temporary head of the family concealed Lu Zhizhao's true physical condition and the fact that he had been expelled from the Lu family."
"Ning Tangsheng didn't find out?"
"Maybe." The housekeeper said, "But it is more likely that Ning Tangsheng could only acquiesce to all this happening: Although there are no exact medical records to prove it, based on the data from these times, we can basically determine that the young master of the Ning family, S-level Omega Ning Jiayi, should have been pregnant. The biological father of the child should be Lu Zhizhao, and the time of conception should be marked by the previous accident."
“…”
"There's no way they're going to waste a high-level Omega like this."
As long as Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi get married, at least on the surface the alliance between the Lu and Ning families has been reached. As for the future...
Who cares about the fate of the tool people who serve as the carriers of interests in the exchange of interests?
"Lu Zhengen is quite satisfied with this marriage, but considering Lu Zhizhao's special situation, he wants to finalize the marriage quickly. For this reason, he has decided to announce the news of their wedding in public at the Victory Day celebration dinner."
The butler said that it was clearly artificial intelligence, but there was a hint of disdain in its electronic voice.
"Victory Day celebration dinner?"
Lu Taipan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he remembered what the so-called Victory Day celebration dinner was.
Strictly speaking, he should have been the undisputed protagonist of the dinner party.
Because the so-called Victory Day is the day when the Earth Alliance completely defeats the Canaan invasion. The Victory Day dinner celebrates the victory in the war between the Earthlings and the Canaanites.
On this day every year, the entire First Star Region would be in celebration, with banquets and performances of all sizes happening constantly, but the most eye-catching one was the one held in the Commander's Mansion and presided over by the Grand Commander himself.
Many people would call that banquet the "Golden Night".
Because this banquet is almost the most magnificent and cruelest arena for the upper echelons of the Earth Alliance. The order of entrance to the cocktail party, the order of seating, the participants... every seemingly ordinary detail hints at the results of the private power struggle in the First Star Region over the past year.
Some people lost and disappeared from the dinner party.
Some people who win can step onto the gilded white marble steps of the Commander's Mansion with a higher position.
Of course, no matter how other families and forces struggle and change, the "throne" at the dinner party will always belong to only one surname.
That is the Lu family.
However, from the first so-called Victory Day dinner to the most recent one, Lu Taipan has never appeared. Of course, every year Lu Taipan would receive dinner invitations that were, at least on the surface, exceptionally sincere and warm. Although they were afraid of Lu Taipan, everyone had to admit that without Lu Taipan there would be no final victory for the Earth Alliance. And to a certain extent, as much as people fear the Lord of the Snake Cave, they are as curious about his every move.
But no matter how earnestly those invitations were received, Lu Taipan always refused to attend with an indifferent attitude. It's not because of anything else, it's just because...
[“It’s a complete waste of time to be in a place like that with a bunch of idiots.”]
Over time, it became a tacit fact that Lu Taipan would never attend the Shunli Day dinner.
The only one who could replace him was naturally the temporary head of the Lu family, Lu Zhengen. Even though it was just a world of fame and fortune that Lu Taipan disdained, this night every year was the most satisfying, happiest and most important moment for him.
Obviously, it was the same this time. As a result of years of convention, Lu Zhengen directly booked the Victory Day dinner as his most important publicity venue.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Taipan asked the housekeeper.
"What's the date for the party?"
"Two days later." The butler replied, "Let me take a look. I have to say that Lu Zhengen is really working hard. I have found out that he has invited all the media in the entire star region... Phew, he plans to make Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi's wedding the 'wedding of the century' and intends to use it to gain more public support..."
"Inform the commander-in-chief that I will attend the Victory Day dinner this time."
Lu Taipan suddenly said in a cold tone.
The artificial intelligence paused for a moment, and in the huge information flow belonging to it that humans could not perceive, a ripple appeared because of Lu Taipan's words.
To make an analogy, this is a bit similar to the excitement in human emotions, but it seems a little different.
"Okay, my master, I will cancel Lu Zhengen's qualification to attend the meeting."
The butler then said happily.
"No." Lu Zhizhao's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Since he has spent so much time and effort, let him be."
Although he didn't sound emotional, no one could ignore the sarcasm in the Snake Cave Lord's tone.
"You just need to inform the commander-in-chief that I will bring my partner with me this time."
"Victory Day Dinner? Ah, I know, it's the Golden Night, right—"
That night, Su Liang was stunned when he heard Lu Taipan’s invitation in the "Throne".
"Before, I could only watch the live broadcast on Starnet... Would it be inappropriate for me to go to such an important dinner?"
Ever since he met Lu Zhizhao at the Lu family banquet last time and caused a lot of trouble afterwards, Su Liang couldn't help but get a headache whenever he thought of such a place where powerful people gathered.
Lu Taipan looked at Su Liang without blinking.
The eyes are very deep.
"I know you don't like that kind of occasion. In fact, I don't like it either. Moreover, there will be a large number of high-level Alphas gathering in such occasions, and their pheromones are likely to irritate me. Although my condition has improved greatly after you appeared, but..."
He naturally took Su Liang's hand and interlocked their fingers.
The tall man lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes covering his dark eyes.
At this moment, the Lord of the Snake Cave looked unusually well-behaved and pale.
"I want you to be with me."
The man said in a low voice.
"I'm not going to lie and say that I can't separate from you because of pheromone addiction."
"Mr. Si..."
"It's funny to say that I've never attended this party. Because before this, I had pheromone disorder and could only avoid the crowd cautiously. You cured my pheromone disorder, but even so, I'm still not sure if I can really step into the crowd without going crazy."
The fingers interlocked with Su Liang slowly tightened, Lu Taipan lowered his head and gave a vague kiss on the back of Su Liang's hand through the bite stopper.
"That's why I need you so much."
He finally raised his eyes and looked at Su Liang.
"All right."
Su Liang heard himself answer like this.
No one... no one can refuse such a master of the snake cave.
After getting Su Liang's promise, a satisfied smile appeared on Lu Taipan's thin lips.
"Thanks."
He thanked her and handed the invitation to the party to Su Liang.
Next, Su Liang just needs to press the confirm button to confirm his attendance.
However, when the boy opened the thin electronic screen, he stood there staring at the simple line of words on it.
"Snake Master Lu Taipan and his partner Su Liang will be present on time..."
He looked back at the Alpha beside him in disbelief.
"What's with the 'partner' thing on it?"
"cough……"
Lu Taipan looked away and coughed fakely.
