“Sizzle—”
The subtle sound of fabric tearing was particularly harsh in the silent room.
Without the barrier patch, the rich, almost violent camellia scent erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time! This fragrance was no longer gentle and lingering, but filled with a strong aggressiveness and suffocating oppression. It swept the entire space domineeringly, even completely dispersing and crushing the lingering wood pheromones and disinfectant smell.
Yun Wushu gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently. He propped himself up and sat up, cold sweat soaking through his recently changed silk pajamas.
The high fever caused by the hemolytic reaction was like the fire of hell burning in the body, and the edges of the vision were blackening.
He roughly tore open his collar, trying to get some cool air, but to no avail.
"Omegas are good, aren't they? What a pity."
Yunwushu looked out the window. A strong wind blew past last night, and the dead leaves that were originally hanging on the branches could no longer resist and were swept by the wind and swayed.
It was unwilling to fall into the mud and turn into dust, so it could only use all its strength to hold on tightly.

At noon, the sky outside the window was gloomy, as if there were signs of heavy rain.
Yun Wushu opened his eyes and was in a daze for a while, then pressed the bell beside the bed to call Bai Er in.
"Where's he?" He sat up on the bed with his hands.
Bai Er handed the prepared nutrient solution to Yun Wushu and replied, "There's a banquet being held at the villa today. The old Duke of Usaqi is trying to match his daughter Lillian with Duke Crisel..."
The crisp sound of the shattering glass cup was drowned out by the music and the crowds below. The lavender nutrient solution, like a dying stream, meandered across the cold marble tabletop.
Yunwushu stared at the sticky liquid on his fingertips, as if it was not a nutrient but some kind of ominous poison.
The barrier patch on the back of my neck was like a red-hot iron, pressing firmly against my restless glands, and every heartbeat brought a searing pain that burned my mind.
"Let's go and take a look." His voice was hoarse, with a suppressed coldness that was almost like the friction of metal.
He wiped his fingertips vigorously and roughly, as if he wanted to wipe away the filth along with something surging in his heart.
Baier silently modified the diplomat's original arrangement and marked the dangerous red line in the princess suite.

The Royal Villa, suspended above the star harbor, is a veritable "astronomical observatory".
Outside the crystal dome, on the deep cosmic curtain, the lights of the star port are like crushed stars, flowing slowly, forming another magnificent artificial sea of stars.
However, at this moment, the artificial starlight in the banquet hall was even more dazzling.
"Bang—crash!"
Another huge firework exploded in low-Earth orbit, and the brilliant light and shadow passed through the dome, instantly illuminating Yun Wushu's pale profile in the observation cabin on the second floor.
The light and shadow danced in his pupils, but did not reflect any warmth. Instead, it made the bloodshot deep in his eyes look even more scarlet and glaring.
Downstairs, the dance music reached a chorus of brilliance. Princess Lillian, clad in a dazzling red dress and a pearl crown that shone like a dreamy rainbow under the laser lights, gracefully placed her lace-gloved hand on Kristel's outstretched arm.
Chrisel nodded slightly, his military uniform straightened, the golden tassels of his ribbon swaying slightly with his movements, and an impeccable, polite smile that belonged to a duke hung on the corner of his mouth.
At the moment when the hand fell, the temperature in the observation cabin on the second floor seemed to be swept by an invisible cold current and suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Yunwushu stood behind a huge one-way glass curtain wall, his figure so thin that it seemed as if it could be sucked away by the universe outside the window.
His fingers unconsciously stroked the sapphire inlaid on his cuffs, but the cold touch could not suppress the evil fire that was burning more and more fiercely in his heart.
The hard edges of the gemstone pricked the fingertips, causing a sharp pain.
