Chapter 20 Desire for Exclusivity
"I'm fine," Lu Chenzhou tightly grasped Qianzhi and panted rapidly, his red pupils almost spreading to the entire white of his eyes, "As long as Qianqian is fine."
This defense battle lasted longer than he had imagined, and more sentries were injured.
He had expended too much of his mental energy on healing, but he didn't want to be comforted by any guide other than Qianzhi.
Every time he wanted to find her, he was always worried that Qianzhi would be affected in her mental strength because of comforting him.
The more you worry, the more hesitant you become.
So he chose to treat it with medication.
I thought I could hold on until the end and then go find her when Qianzhi was resting.
But the moment I learned that Qianzhi was missing.
All those depressed, panicked, and angry emotions came back at him and engulfed him in an instant.
"Chen Zhou, do you hear me? Release your spirit body."
Lu Chenzhou vaguely heard Qianzhi's voice, but he just closed his eyes slightly. Huge leaves emerged from his back and stretched out, encircling Qianzhi like wings.
"His alienated state is already obvious. He's not going berserk, is he? But Guide Qian is still in his arms!" The sentry next to him quickly went on alert.
"Everyone, move aside. My arrow can accurately hit his heart." A sentry pushed aside the people next to him and aimed the long crossbow arrow at Lu Chenzhou's back.
"You must be joking! That's Doctor Lu! He treated you before! Even if we want to take action against him, we have to wait for the Admiral's consent!"
The sentry beside him reached out to snatch his crossbow.
"You want to die, but I don't! Even the guide is trapped by him. If the S-class sentinel goes berserk, everyone will die here! His poison gas is no joke!"
The sentry beside him immediately fell silent.
"I don't allow you to do that." The girl's voice came softly from under the huge leaves, causing all the sentries to pause.
Chizhi finds some humans ridiculous.
The selfish instinct of seeking benefits and avoiding harm is even stronger than that of plants and animals.
It was obvious that Lu Chenzhou had not yet been completely alienated, but for his own safety and interests, he chose to ruthlessly sacrifice his own people, even though this people had once done him a favor.
Qianzhi stroked Lu Chenzhou's face.
Under the man's cold white skin, light green branches and leaves were slowly growing, and even his pupils were dilated due to his loss of mental control.
But he still held her in his arms in a protective posture, as if only in this way could he ensure Qianzhi's absolute safety.
"If you were really a plant, I would definitely bite you hard with the tentacles on the vines and call you an idiot." Qianzhi poked his high nose bridge.
The man's eyelashes rustled, and a few tiny flowers bloomed with her touch.
"Open your mouth," she commanded.
Lu Chenzhou's beautiful lips moved slightly, and then were gently pried open by Qianzhi's fingers.
She pressed her pale lips against his.
On the other side, the dodder vines meandered upwards and slowly crawled into Lu Chenzhou's glandular opening, which was slightly opened because of Qianzhi's kiss.
The soothing effect of the mental image being marked, combined with the soothing effect of physical contact, allows the Sentinel to recover at the fastest speed.
In Lu Chenzhou's mental picture, the dried-up carnivorous plant was entangled by a soft and tender dodder.
Its light green branches and leaves wrapped around its trunk several times, climbed up to its calyx, and then proudly hovered between its stamens.
He felt extremely refreshed and happy, and flapped his leaves to touch her, but was stung hard by her little tentacles.
This stab woke him up.
The alienated characteristics in him had completely disappeared, and he just held her tightly based on his subconscious possessiveness.
His lips were still lingering on the corner of her lips, and there was a hint of sweetness on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing their doctor recover, the sentry next to him whistled with a smile.
The sentry carrying a crossbow took a few steps back with a sullen look on his face, hiding himself in the shadows, and ended up bumping into a man who was also hiding in the shadows.
"Who is so blind!" he cursed.
But when he took a closer look at the person opposite him, he immediately became intimidated: "General, General, why are you here?"
Bo Lan's gentle face appeared dim and unclear in the shadows.
The pair of brown eyes stared at Qianzhi who had just escaped from Lu Chenzhou's arms. Without even glancing at the sentry next to him, he just announced the verdict on the sentry in a cold voice.
"Martin, you have no right to execute your compatriots."
"He had the motive to use offensive skills against a non-berserker, and he handled the situation without reporting it to the military. According to military regulations, he will be punished with electric shock."
"I will report this to the military headquarters. So now, I suggest you return to the fortress and await the verdict."
Martin looked at his admiral, who rarely showed an extremely cold expression. He shrank back two steps in fear and lowered his head in dejection.
The resume of a sentinel who is punished according to military regulations will be tarnished for life, and he will never be promoted again. Even joining a mercenary group will be looked down upon.
He is really finished this time.
Bo Lan let out a light breath, letting his negative emotions go away when he came in front of Qianzhi.
He saw that thousands of branches marked Lu Chenzhou, and the bright red flower was finally engraved with the traces of dodder.
He was no longer the sole sentinel of the Thousand Marks.
I should have expected this day to come, Bo Lan thought sadly, but he put a gentle smile on his face again.
Because his Qianzhi is very strong, there will be more and more sentinels around her. All he needs to do is to make Qianzhi's gaze stay on him longer.
As Bo Lan walked over, he silently recited the "Three-Character Classic of Male Virtue" which he had accidentally seen on the Star Internet.
“Don’t be jealous, be meek”
"Bo Lan." He saw his little guide's green eyes light up the moment he saw him, then frowned slightly. "What happened?"
Qianzhi smelled the fleeting emotions on Bo Lan.
It's a bit sour and bitter.
Bo Lan thought he had disguised himself well, but the girl's short words made his eyes hot and his heart beat fast.
She cares about herself, that's enough.
He shouldn't expect too much.
"The damage to the Black Tower was slightly serious, but it's not a serious matter," he answered evasively, his eyes passing over Lu Chenzhou's spirit form. "The Zerg retreated very suddenly, so the sentinels and guides were unharmed."
Very sudden?
Qianzhi remembered the "insect mother" that the boy mentioned before leaving.
Did something happen to the insect mother? So he and the insects were forced to leave?
But how was the insect mother discovered?
"Marshal Ian is back—" A sentry in the distance transformed into a half-beast that could speed up, and ran towards them breathlessly.
"But he's in urgent need of spiritual comfort! Please, Guide Qianzhi, come with me quickly!"
