Chapter 101 Spring Beast Tide - 3 "How could this be...?"
"How could this be..." Tang Bufan stared blankly at himself in the mirror, opening his mouth and looking at himself again and again.
Lu Yi walked up behind him and thought he looked really cute.
"Teacher, this is..."
"I know." Tang Bufan interrupted him, closing his mouth and sighing helplessly, "Your heat is coming soon, right?"
After saying that, he secretly touched his butt with his hand... he hesitated whether to go to the toilet to check, it seemed like...
Tang Bufan's body trembled slightly, and he shivered.
“…Yes, heat cycle.” Lu Yi noticed Tang Bufan’s little gesture of touching his buttocks and also keenly sensed a hint of ambiguity. His face couldn’t help but turn slightly red: “As our hormone levels rise, our bodies will unconsciously produce some reactions.”
“But I mutated in January, and it’s only March now.” Tang Bufan frowned, lowered his eyes, and calculated the days: “If it happens every March, shouldn’t it be April?”
"It's probably because of my influence," Lu Yi guessed.
Tang Bufan recalled that Lu Yi's last heat cycle was in December, and he immediately understood.
Tang Bufan then turned around and pried open Lu Yi's mouth. Lu Yi obediently squatted down slightly and opened his mouth.
"You didn't show your fangs." Tang Bufan looked at Lu Yi's neat and white teeth.
The next second, two sharp canine teeth suddenly emerged from Lu Yi's mouth, startling Tang Bufan.
Lu Yi smirked mischievously, while Tang Bufan reached out and smacked him on the head in annoyance: "If you're not in heat, you're not in heat. Why are you showing your teeth?"
"It should be in the next few days," Lu Yi said, but he didn't expect that Tang Bufan, who had just completed his mutation, would go into heat before him.
Tang Bufan released his mouth, then frowned and went to the mirror to continue examining his teeth.
Lu Yi stood up and moved closer to him, affectionately pressing her face against Tang Bufan's. She opened her mouth and looked at their fangs in the mirror with him: "Mine are bigger than Teacher's."
Tang Bufan was looking troubled, but he was forced to laugh: "Do we have to compare this too?"
After saying that, she gave a soft "hmm" sound, then nudged Lu Yi behind her with her elbow: "Don't come too close, it's too hot."
Lu Yi blushed and her heart pounded at his "hmm." She could feel Tang Bufan's body getting hot, and his usually faint scent was becoming stronger. Knowing that the heat cycle was a difficult thing to endure, Lu Yi hesitated for a long time before shyly speaking to Tang Bufan.
"Teacher, how about..." Lu Yi gently grasped Tang Bufan's hand, her tone a mix of flattery and enticement, "Shall we give it a try?"
Tang Bufan knew what he was thinking. While steadying his breathing, he glanced behind him with annoyance: "You have suppressants, right?"
"Um...yes, yes..." Lu Yi pursed her lips, then reluctantly leaned closer to Tang Bufan: "Taking suppressants is very uncomfortable, but anyway, we like each other..."
He tried to kiss Tang Bufan's face, but the man quickly dodged away.
"No." Tang Bufan sat down uncomfortably on the sofa, fanning his face to relieve the heat. "You're too young, and I'm not ready either."
“I’m not young anymore…” Lu Yi walked over to Tang Bufan again, wanting to squeeze onto the sofa with him as usual, but Tang Bufan slapped his leg, and he reluctantly got up.
Tang Bufan stopped arguing with him and started urging him: "Contact Pei Zhishu quickly and ask him if he has any inhibitors."
Lu Yi didn't need to ask; he knew Pei Zhishu had it. How could the Eastern Federation not have something as important as inhibitors? But he still wanted to try to get it for himself.
Looking at Tang Bufan, who was sitting there with a cold and indifferent expression, breathing heavily, Lu Yi leaned down to him.
As the shadow loomed over, Tang Bufan looked up and saw the tall orc with his hands on the sofa, trapping him inside.
Tang Bufan inhaled the strong, masculine scent wafting towards him and couldn't help but breathe more rapidly.
"...Go quickly." Tang Bufan turned his head helplessly, leaning against the soft sofa and trying to widen the distance between himself and Lu Yi.
"Teacher...do we really have to wait two years?" Lu Yi's incomparably handsome face drew closer to him, a wronged expression on his face. "I know I'm only 18, but you know, boys my age are at that stage where they really want to do 'that'..."
Tang Bufan turned his head to the side, his scalp tingling, his whole body burning with heat, and forced a smile: "Which one?"
"That's the one..."
"Driven by lust?"
"..." Lu Yi blushed, feeling that Tang Bufan's words were too blunt, but he did not deny it. Looking closely at Tang Bufan, his tone became softer and more seductive: "I will make the teacher very comfortable... I promise."
"..." Tang Bufan lowered his eyes, his cheeks flushed, while Lu Yi reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to turn his face around.
"Teacher, why don't you dare look at me?" Lu Yi asked in a low voice, kneeling on one knee on the sofa, his head lowered and his forehead touching Tang Bufan's.
"...Stop fooling around." Tang Bufan swallowed, feeling a little dizzy. Lu Yi's scent was like a bewitching fragrance.
"Look at me." Lu Yi continued to coax him, and Tang Bufan had no choice but to look up, immediately drawn into those golden-green beast eyes.
"Let's do something comfortable, okay?" Lu Yi pinched Tang Bufan's chin, getting very close to him, almost kissing him.
Tang Bufan looked up at him, feeling dizzy, and opened his mouth slightly.
"No..." He still retained a sliver of rationality.
"Teacher..." Lu Yi said, feeling wronged. She grabbed Tang Bufan's hand and made him touch her face. "Please feel sorry for me."
Tang Bufan was momentarily speechless when he looked into those watery eyes, until he suddenly felt that chilling wetness behind him again.
Tang Bufan snapped out of his daze, his face flushed as he bit his lip: "Then... let's do it a year from now, it's really not possible now."
"Teacher..." Lu Yi was still not satisfied: "One year is still..."
Tang Bufan suddenly reached out and pinched Lu Yi's face. Lu Yi was slightly stunned. He saw the man sitting on the sofa lower his dark eyes, even though his face was still flushed.
“Lu Yi,” Tang Bufan squeezed his cheeks together with his five fingers, “Don’t push your luck.”
"...I was wrong." Lu Yi was embarrassed; he seemed to have gone too far with his coquettishness.
"Apologize."
"I'm sorry, teacher..."
"Still acting cute?"
"No..."
Tang Bufan gave a satisfied hum, then released his grip on Lu Yi's cheek and gave the order: "Go get the inhibitor."
Lu Yi became obedient and had no choice but to get up and leave the room.
At least the two years were reduced to one. Lu Yi happily picked up the umbrella by the door and found Wan Yiming guarding the courtyard under the eaves not far away.
"Mr. Louis, going out in this weather?" Wan Yiming shouted loudly to Lu Yi, while the garden roof was swarming with birds, and several bird carcasses had already fallen onto the hanging silver nets.
Feces, blood, and feathers fell like rain.
Lu Yi looked up at the bizarre sky and thought of the winged poisonous man they had encountered in the Greater Khingan Mountains tunnel.
"..." Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then beckoned Wan Yiming over.
Lu Yi handed over the task of obtaining the inhibitor to Wan Yiming, but instead of returning to Tang Bufan's room, he went into the next room.
Tang Bufan has entered his heat cycle, so it's not appropriate for him to stay near him. His scent will only worsen Tang Bufan's discomfort.
Meanwhile, inside the house, Tang Bufan had already gone into the bathroom. He was sitting on the toilet, looking down at his underwear. There were two transparent watermarks on the white fabric, one in front and one behind.
"My God." Tang Bufan raised his hand to his forehead, finding it hard to accept.
Wan Yiming was very efficient and quickly brought a box of inhibitors. Although it was called a box, there were actually only six vials inside, neatly packed in a sponge.
Upon learning that Tang Bufan had entered his heat cycle, the twins came into the room to help, but Tang Bufan did not need their help. Under their terrified gazes, he rolled up the sleeves of his pajamas, his face flushed but calm as he inserted the needle.
"So strong..." He Yun admired Tang Bufan to the point of prostration. Even when his body was in a low-grade fever state, he could still inject himself without showing any fear.
Tang Bufan was already used to it. He had experienced getting up from the ground by himself, inserting the needle with trembling hands, and searching for veins while his eyes were almost closed. The current situation was nothing more than that.
He threw the empty inhibitor into the trash can, then pulled the covers over himself and went to sleep.
However, he underestimated the orcs' mating season. On the third day, Tang Bufan's fever turned from a low-grade fever to a high fever of 42 degrees Celsius. This temperature is normal for orcs, but not for sub-orcs. He Yun panicked and reported to Pei Zhishu, who then summoned a doctor.
When Tang Bufan groggily opened his eyes, he found a man in a white coat sitting in the dimly lit room. He was startled and sat up abruptly from the bed.
The sound of the IV drip swaying came from above. Tang Bufan's heartbeat gradually calmed down when he saw that the man had delicate features and was about thirty-five years old. He realized that the man was not the doctor from his deep memory.
"Madam, who have you mistaken me for?" the doctor asked, getting up and walking to Tang Bufan's side. He picked up Tang Bufan's hand and examined it. Sure enough, because of Tang Bufan's sudden movement, the needle in his hand had become crooked.
The doctor adjusted the needle, changed the tape, and then sat back down on the sofa.
Tang Bufan was sweating lightly, felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and his body ached. So he slowly leaned against the headboard.
The doors and windows of the room were all tightly closed, with only a warm yellow table lamp lit. Outside, there were noisy birdsong and the clanging of iron chains, which was more intense than a few days ago, indicating that the beast tide had officially arrived.
There were only the two of them in the room. Tang Bufan then looked at the small round table next to the doctor, on which was an open medical kit.
Tang Bufan's dark pupils narrowed slightly as he saw a blood collection tube filled with bright red blood.
He had his blood drawn. Tang Bufan remained calm and asked, "What's your name?"
"My surname is Jiang. You can just call me Dr. Jiang," Dr. Jiang said gently.
"Is my condition serious?" Tang Bufan asked again.
"Your first heat cycle was quite intense, and your body hadn't adjusted yet, so you developed a high fever. But it wasn't serious. You'll be fine once the disordered hormones in your body stabilize."
Tang Bufan breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked Lu Yi with some concern, "Where is my fiancé?"
“Next door, Mr. Louis has been in heat for six years and is adapting well to the suppressants, so there’s no need to worry about him.”
Six years? Did he reach sexual maturity at 12? Tang Bufan thought Lu Yi matured very early.
“He originally wanted to come see you, but I stopped him.” Dr. Jiang said, glancing at the time before getting up to leave: “Now that Madam is awake, I should probably head back. We can continue with the inhibitor injections.”
The man in the white coat began tidying up the medicine box on the table, but Tang Bufan stopped him:
"Dr. Jiang."
Dr. Jiang turned around and saw the man with a flushed face sitting against the headboard. He was clearly unwell, but he exuded a calm and composed aura.
His dark eyes stared at him: "Did you take my blood?"
"..." Dr. Jiang looked down; there was a blood collection tube in his medical kit.
Birds chirped outside, and the silver net jingled.
Tang Bufan smiled and held out his hand to him: "Can I have it back?"
"..." Dr. Jiang felt a sense of pressure: "For Madam's health, it would be best if I were to test her blood..."
“I stand by as Louis Smith’s fiancée.”
The room was dimly lit, and Tang Bufan's eyes emitted a faint, eerie light.
“…I’ve offended you.” Dr. Jiang swallowed hard, lowered his head, took out the tubes from the box, walked over to Tang Bufan, and placed them in his hand.
Tang Bufan grasped it, then looked up and smiled, his bright face instantly becoming gentle and warm: "Thank you, you've worked hard."
"...Madam, you're too kind." Dr. Jiang gave a stiff smile, then packed her medical kit and left the room.
Once the door closed again, Tang Bufan breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the blood collection tube in his hand.
"I almost gave myself away." Tang Bufan muttered. Human genes have been evolving. Although a 1200-year interval is not long, some changes have occurred, which can be seen from the huge difference in height.
"Xiao Tang, Lu Yi wants to have a video call with you." Kai Ge's gentle male voice suddenly came from the room.
Tang Bufan turned his head to look in the direction of the study, then happily got up despite his aching body and moved the IV drip support over there.
He raised his hand and tapped the screen, and immediately Lu Yi's figure appeared on the computer screen, lying on the bed.
Lu Yi was shirtless, his long golden hair cascading over the bed, his skin slightly red, and his sculpted muscles were illuminated by the warm light of the bedroom lamp, giving him a languid yet alluring appearance.
"Wow~! You're sleeping naked." Tang Bufan took off his slippers, curled up in the large computer chair, and teased Lu Yi, "Who are you trying to seduce?"
Lu Yi was already in heat, and her face turned even redder when she heard Tang Bufan's teasing.
"I didn't sleep naked, I was wearing something underneath," Lu Yi said embarrassedly. "I took off my vest because it was hot."
After saying that, she looked at Tang Bufan, who was huddled in front of the computer: "It's the teacher who's like that, wearing loose pajamas and not even buttoning them up properly."
"I'm hot too." Tang Bufan raised his hand to fan his face.
Lu Yi noticed the IV drip and thread in his hand and looked up nervously, "You're on an IV drip? Are you feeling very unwell?"
"Thankfully, the worst part is over," Tang Bufan said nonchalantly. He had been in heat for four days, and his body had somewhat adapted to the uncomfortable feeling. So he turned to Lu Yi and asked, "What about you? When did it start?"
"Yesterday," Lu Yi said pitifully to Tang Bufan, "I really wanted a kiss from you, teacher."
Tang Bufan couldn't help but laugh. He had been feeling listless because of his heat, but he immediately became happy after video chatting with Lu Yi.
"You only started yesterday, so we still have to wait several days," Tang Bufan said, hugging his legs. He played with the medical tape on the back of his hand, then looked up along the IV line, curiously seeing what medicine he was receiving. He noticed two bags hanging on it with a connecting tube inserted between them.
Tang Bufan got up to check and saw that one bag was labeled "Hormonal Regulation Solution" and the other bag was labeled "Gene Harmonizing Solution".
Tang Bufan opened his eyes slightly, and the hot sweat turned into cold sweat.
Why give him this... Tang Bufan sat down slowly, puzzled.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Lu Yi noticed that Tang Bufan's expression was a little strange.
Tang Bufan glanced at Lu Yi on the screen. The orc, who had just begun his heat cycle, had a flushed face and his breathing was noticeably more rapid than usual.
"I feel a little uncomfortable here." Tang Bufan clutched his lower abdomen, his face slightly flushed, and said to Lu Yidao, "I need to go back to bed."
His acting skills have always been good. Lu Yi glanced at his lower abdomen and seemed to understand something, his expression slightly shy.
"Then teacher, you should get some rest." Lu Yi waved goodbye to the camera with reluctance.
"Good boy." Tang Bufan smiled and waved to Lu Yi. As soon as the video ended, he immediately tapped on the projector keyboard to start the search.
Soon, the content he was looking for appeared on the screen:
[Gene harmonizing solution: used to treat discomfort symptoms caused by human mutations, and can also be used to treat adverse reactions to certain drugs in patients with gene mutations]
