Chapter 61 [Extra] Lantern Festival 2
Click—the door closed and was locked.
Then the hot kisses fell all over, devouring and gnawing to express the boundless longing.
a long time.
Su Xi covered her swollen lips. The force was a little punishing, but it was controlled just right, not enough to hurt her. She tried her best to ignore the alpha who started to gnaw at her neck when he couldn't bite her lips. His flaming hair made her cheeks itch.
"What's going on?" She tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion, "Were you waiting for me here just now? How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"
She did not miss the familiar smell of alpha in the air when she pushed the door open. He must have been here for quite some time.
"Not long."
The hoarse voice suppressed the desire that was surging and clamoring.
Then the remaining words were once again broken up and messed up by the hot lips.
In the simple snail house, the small portholes let in artificial light all over the floor. Except for some subtle sounds and the increasingly strong and lingering scent of A in the air, the room was peaceful and quiet.
All the longing and temper slowly disappeared in the passionate kisses.
After a long while, the man, feeling slightly satisfied, finally let her go as if he had a change of heart.
Su Xi calmed her disordered breathing and began to quickly deal with her personal belongings, destroying what needed to be destroyed and taking away what needed to be taken away.
"You should have finished your work and returned to your room to rest three hours and eighteen minutes ago." He was just stating the facts, but Su Xi heard something else.
"So you just sat here and waited for me for three hours?" She had just tidied up the messy bed, the place where the smell of his pheromones was the strongest.
"No. We waited only two hours here and twenty-three minutes at the entrance to the observation hall."
Well, apart from a short journey of less than ten minutes, the remaining time was more than forty minutes was wasted on those little intimate things that happened behind closed doors.
"You, really!" Su Xi's heart ached. Ever since the incident in the Great Wilderness Star Region, she couldn't bear to let him wait for her alone in this state.
The feeling of heartache gradually filled my heart. The reluctance and nostalgia for the days at the observatory that had been aroused in my heart when I was packing my things just now were immediately dispelled by his words.
"Hmm." He said nothing, but expressed his assent in a nonchalant manner.
Looking at her busy back, Fitzgerald, who was sitting on the only chair in the room, keenly noticed her emotional changes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Although in the cramped and shabby room, his posture was as straight as on a military command battleship, even a little tense.
Su Xi didn't notice these details. Anyway, this man always buttoned up his clothes to the last button. He was calm and cold before taking off his clothes. As for after taking off his clothes... forget it. She didn't want to recall the backache during the estrus period.
She sighed and recalled some past events.
Su Xi put down the items in her hands that she had almost sorted out, walked over and held the man's perfectly contoured face in front of her with both hands. Her forehead brushed against his stiff and neat hair. She lowered her head in pain and kissed him several times on the forehead.
"Okay, stop seducing me." He frowned slightly, turned his face away, and used his long fingers to press open her lips.
Hmm? Kissing the forehead is innocent, how can it be called seduction? She just pouted her lips to ask for a kiss in the lobby, twisted her waist and rubbed her neck, that's called deliberate seduction, but what was the result?
It's useless!
Fitzgerald ignored her self-doubt and simply pushed her lips open. However, he was not willing to push her away, so he used the distance to help her straighten her collar that had just been messed up, put on the omeg isolating necklace again, and stroked her delicate neck with his long fingers.
Su Xi waited obediently for him to finish tidying up. Looking at his calm and focused expression, she felt mostly relieved, and a little relieved.
It seemed that she wasn't that angry; two kisses calmed her down completely.
But for Fitzgerald, this place was so simple that it was almost like a primitive cave. The air treatment system was almost non-existent, not to mention the sealing.
He wasn't going to remove her pheromone blocker here.
"Let's go."
I didn't have much luggage, and I was mainly dealing with data and personal traces that needed to be destroyed.
"Someone will come to handle it later."
Fitzgerald took her hand and walked out of the small observatory.
*
Above the port of Korot Observatory, there is a blue full moon hanging high in the sky; it is the artificial light source of the base.
Contrary to Su Xi's misunderstanding, the port was a little crowded with cargo ships, but the entire simple port was not filled with the Sun-Swallow and its affiliated fleets. Only the Sun-Swallow in the form of a silver-gray sea bat was docked quietly waiting for its owner.
Fitzgerald seemed to know what she was thinking and answered for her: "Chris and the others are in far-solar orbit. Wait until the Sun Swallow picks you up and reunites with you."
After saying that, he squeezed her palm soothingly.
Su Xi immediately realized that she had been misled by his previous words and expressions!
At this moment, in the empty port, a team of elite alpha guards were standing in line with orders, every three steps and every five steps. The war was not completely over at this time, and everything still had the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Suxi turned her head and looked at him, and Fitzgerald just smiled and held her hand tightly.
"Don't worry, I'm just stopping by to pick you up. My whereabouts are an S-level military secret, so the media won't know about it."
By the way? To get here from the battlefield, you need to go through two interstellar jumps, and then to return to the central galaxy, you need to jump three more times. The word "by the way" is too fake!
However, since he stated in the second half of the sentence that it is confidential and will not be known to the public, it must be true.
She was really frightened by the huge crowds of people when she appeared in the Central Galaxy last time.
Thinking of the past.
The first heir to the empire, who has always been well-behaved, cold and abstinent in public reputation, has an excessively high estrus threshold, which makes human citizens all over the planet worried and anxious about his AO matching rate which is getting lower and lower every year. After all, it is too difficult and the probability is too low to select breeding that can match the royal bloodline from the bottom-level genes again. It is far better to select and breed from the top of the current evolutionary genes.
After all, special cases like Fitzgerald are rare, with the best genetic inheritance and the lowest probability of occurrence.
From the time he obtained the qualification of heir, to his strong return in the final "Zhou Tomb" competition, to all his performances so far, he has never disappointed the public.
Who would have thought that even such an excellent royal heir, after officially announcing that he had a spouse with a textbook-perfect AO match rate, did not develop according to official expectations. His Royal Highness Fitzgerald, who has such a good public reputation, could destroy a small galaxy if he broke the rules casually.
And he almost did that.
After that incident, although the public support rate did not drop, and even the fanatical loyalty increased significantly, Su Xi, as another protagonist of the incident, really did not want to experience the embarrassing feeling of being fanatically pursued no matter where she appeared.
I feel tired.
Just as Su Xi's mind was flashing with past scenes, they had already reached the gangway of the Sun Swallow. However, just as the Sun Swallow was slowly closing and the engine was being preheated and started.
Su Xi's communication terminal received a communication request for a video signal.
*
The video shows the anxious look of Foxtail Sasaki, the current head of the Siren Alliance Zone 'Arale'.
"Ms. Su Xi, something bad has happened! Asai has fallen into a serious coma again. Could you please…"
A hand with a black stone ring gently rested on Su Xi's shoulder, appearing on the screen exactly as it appeared during the video call.
Although it only appeared in the corner of the video on the screen, the extremely simple black stone ring, with its extremely strong presence, successfully shut up Foxtail Sasaki.
"What happened to Asai? Explain it clearly," Su Xi frowned, "It's only been a short time since he was promoted to 3S. Why is he so reckless to challenge something with such a low probability again?"
When Su Xi said this, she completely ignored herself. Her advancement from the embryonic stage of spiritual power to the intermediate level of a beginner was nothing more than a matter of fighting. From the kindergarten-level 'Beginner' to the 'S' level, she jumped across six sub-levels.
Perhaps out of a mysterious breeder mentality, or rather, an elder mentality, she completely ignored her own uniqueness and was completely caught up in her concern and worry for Asay.
"The orc gene is not superior in the evolution of mental power! Have you encountered any difficult problems?"
The more Su Xi spoke, the more her brows furrowed.
She noticed that someone's hand on her shoulder had increased in strength, so she patted it soothingly, then gently brushed it away and changed the angle of the video.
Su Xi looked up at Fitz, and there was no special expression on her face. With so many guards following him, the pheromones of her Highness Fitz were perfectly restrained, without revealing any emotion. It seemed that the abrupt action just now was just an illusion.
Sure enough, when Su Xi adjusted the video call to the encrypted channel between two parties, Sasaki, the foxtail on the other side of the video, looked relieved. He continued, "It's... not a big problem, you know. After he broke through 3S, the biggest beneficiaries were the group of cubs in the Beast God system. This is actually a good thing..."
“That’s a good thing, so what?”
Foxtail Sasaki suddenly became depressed and angry, "But those ungrateful wolves, with a little support, provoked Asay instead! And you know the personality of the great leader."
Su Xi raised her eyebrows. She knew, of course, that she had witnessed everything about him in his spiritual world, and could be said to have accompanied him through everything.
She had been watching the beautiful beastman boy grow up. First, she broke through the genetic limitations and gained the buds of mental power due to her reckless actions. Later, she underwent two "complete genetic" transformations. Logically speaking, the current "Reina Asai Zoe", whether distinguished by mental power fingerprints or identified by genes in the biological sense, is no longer the pure cat-eared beastman boy in the past.
But what remains unchanged is his inherent irritability and his temper that cannot stand the slightest provocation.
"In fact, we don't know exactly what happened. The cat who provoked him was an illusionist, so probably no one except the leader himself knows what happened in his mind."
“Was there any damage at the scene?”
"No, although the rules of the ring are to kill or not, Asai still knows the severity of the situation for those cubs. He just gave them a lesson and it was over in less than five minutes."
"But that night after returning from the ring, the leader suddenly showed signs of a mental breakthrough. It was going smoothly at first, and when the numerical test stabilized at 4S, we were all very excited, but——"
Foxtail Sasaki said as he recalled, and then slightly moved the angle of the video. A mental hibernation chamber appeared behind him. A blurry figure fell into a deep sleep, with frosted brows tightly furrowed, as if experiencing great pain and despair.
"A star-moon has passed, and he still hasn't woken up."
Foxtail Sasaki spoke in a low voice.
"Ms. Su Xi, could you please come to the Siren Galaxy again?"
Foxtail's tone was almost pleading.
Su Xi opened her mouth and was about to give a straightforward answer, but a disapproving voice sounded beside her.
"no."
"This matter cannot be handled this way," Fitzgerald ignored Sasaki, who was on the other side of the communication. His deep eyebrows were drooping, half hidden in the shadows, but he looked at Su Xi and said very slowly: "The Central System's special policy towards the Alliance remains the same. As the agent of the Alliance, anything that happens to Reina Asai Zoe will have nothing to do with the Empire."
"I don't agree with you going there at this time."
