Chapter 10

A few months ago, a wave of mutant beasts broke through the eastern defense line of the Sanchar Empire and headed straight for the Noliflan Empire.

Lieutenant General Carter Michaelson, commander of the First Army, and Major General Fu Qing, commander of the Third Army, were ordered to stop the mutant tide thousands of kilometers outside the defense line. After nearly a month of fierce fighting, they finally worked together with the Sanchar Empire to eliminate this mutant tide, which served as the "vanguard army."

According to the rules, the Empire would hold a "prayer banquet" after each successful victory over a wave of beasts, which was used to reward and celebrate the returning soldiers and to mourn the souls of the sacrificed soldiers.

However, as one of the main generals, Fu Qing was seriously injured and in danger, and his mental strength value fluctuated on the verge of rioting many times. Therefore, the prayer banquet was postponed until today, when the invitations were finally sent out.

As I took a break, I waved the invitation to the banquet in my hand and felt that I was already trapped in this situation. Unfortunately, my wings were not yet fully grown and I did not have the strength to flap and escape.

In the original book, the prayer banquet is a relatively important plot point. At this time, Fu Qing's mental strength can only be said to have just recovered and stabilized, just like a piece of white paper that has been stretched hard, seemingly smooth and flawless, but in fact it will break if poked.

The original Yu Xie failed to escape by faking his own death, his glands were damaged, and his pheromones rapidly declined. In his eyes, Fu Qing was one of the culprits who made him "lack of masculinity". He was willing to exercise the power of the male lord to whip him, but he was unwilling to mark Fu Qing and let the other party's mental strength have an easy time.

Therefore, Fu Qingqing's translucent white neck that had not yet changed color, and the almost disappeared pheromones of the newly-married male master, became the topic of conversation and the laughing stock of the noble party all night long.

Of course, the tactics used at the banquet were far more than just ridicule and discussion...

I closed my eyes and rested. The spiritual energy that had been accumulated recently began to slowly flow through my body.

The body structure of male insects is very similar to that of humans, except that they have an additional gland at the back of their neck that can release pheromones. The gland is the second reproductive organ of male insects, and it is not pleasant to be damaged. As the pheromones disappear, the gland atrophies and the pain will become more severe, until the day when they truly lose their qualification as male insects.

The spiritual energy gradually moved to the back of his neck. Yu Xie's brows were tightly furrowed, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

He saw that his gland was entangled by something like black silk thread, and it was getting tighter and tighter, as if it would not stop until the gland was torn into pieces.

Is this poison?

The Taotie clan practiced Shennong Jue and could eat all kinds of herbs, so the Taotie body could naturally cure all kinds of poisons. Although he was not proficient in poison techniques, he could tell that these "black lines" were not poisonous.

He used a wisp of his spiritual energy to test it, and the white spiritual energy and a black wisp suddenly entangled with each other.

Although the spiritual energy is small, it is thick and soft, and has a majestic momentum of embracing all rivers. The black line is swift and fierce. Once it entangles the enemy, it will fight to the death.

Soon, the black line broke away from the group of black lines and chased after the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy, contrary to its previous gentle attitude, instantly entangled and strangled the black line, completely annihilating it.

This is not poison, it is "qi".

Just like Reiki, these "black lines" are also a kind of energy.

A little interest arose during the rest, and I let my spiritual energy probe the gland again...

Outside the door.

Fu Qing had been standing in silence for a while.

Since the day of his rebirth, he has replaced nearly twenty servants in the Major General's Mansion one after another, and re-selected three or five new servants with clean family backgrounds, such as Abel and John, to prevent his daily diet from being tampered with by insects again.

This time, the severe damage to his mental strength during the beast tide was just a performance. The purpose was to let everything happen again, so that His Majesty and the Duke's Mansion would bring the remnant of the person who hated him, harmed him, and killed him in the previous life to him again.

Everything went according to plan, but the results were not as expected.

Fu Qing didn't know who the other person was, but he was sure that the other person was not Yu Xie.

So he hesitated.

He was reborn with a determination to fight to the death and the hope of rebirth. But he is still a merciful avenger who does not want to drag irrelevant insects into the vortex of the fight.

He didn't want to play with his life like his enemies did...

Yu Xie inside the house was happily fighting these "black lines" and was unaware of the entanglement of the poor little bugs outside the door.

Nearly half of the black lines on the gland were devoured by the spiritual energy in the same way. The gland, which was tightly bound, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pheromones carrying the meaning of freedom and joy gradually permeate into the air.

Fu Qing smelled a very nice smell...

The smell is somewhat varied, like a vast forest, with the scent of green leaves and branches, as well as vast smoke, the moisture of dew and the warmth of sunshine.

It didn't seem like a specific smell, but more like a mood that wrapped Fu Qing tightly.

Fu Qing's hands and feet began to tremble, his usually calm eyes were misty, and his fair ears were completely covered with blush. He pursed his pale lips tightly, afraid that he would make an uncontrolled sound.

This isn't the time...

A blush gradually crept up Fu Qing's face, and his cold expression became increasingly blurred. This was not the time for him to be in estrus.

His strong rationality allowed him to control his limbs and move further and further away from the door. However, his nose seemed to be unable to resist the temptation and took a deep breath.

It smells so good... this smell...

…

Bang! Blah-la-la—!

As soon as Yu Xiu closed his eyes, he heard a strange noise coming from next door. The door that was originally tightly closed was opened a very small gap, and the door panel was lightly covered, so he couldn't see the situation at the door clearly.

It was like a hungry little beast tried to break in through the door, but because it was too timid, it only opened the door a crack and then fled in panic.

BLAH——!

Yu Xie was confused, is it Fu Qing?

Their rooms were not far from each other, and apart from Fu Qing, Yu Xie couldn't think of anyone else who could open his door and make such a big noise next door.

Fu Qing was rummaging around in the bedroom.

Inhibitors... Inhibitors... Damn it!

Where are all his inhibitors?

It’s not like Fu Qing had never smelled the pheromones of male insects before. Learning to resist the pheromones of unfamiliar male insects was even part of his counterintelligence/spy training. But… he had never…

The heat waves washed over his body again and again like a tide. His legs were like melting popsicles, supporting his scalding body as he rummaged around in the bedroom.

"Fu Qing?"

A low voice appeared at Fu Qing's door, but in Fu Qing's eyes, whose ears were buzzing, this voice was no different from the one that appeared in his ears. He could even feel the hot breath of the other party...

"You...don't..." Fu Qing opened his mouth in panic and quickly bit his lower lip to suppress himself from making any further sounds.

"What's wrong with you?"

The other party did not accept his rejection, but instead, like a ferocious and possessive beast, it kept entering his territory, carrying the fragrance of morning dew and jungle.

It smells so good...

Fu Qing breathed greedily and covered his nose with his slender white hands.

At this time in my previous life, Yuxie should have almost run out of pheromones. Why is this happening? Do pheromones from A-level male insects have such a strong effect on SS-level female insects? Was Yuxie in my previous life...also...so fragrant?

Found it!

A look of relief flashed across Fu Qing's red eyes, and he injected the inhibitor fiercely into the back of his neck.

"Ah..." The worm marks on the back of the neck were too sensitive. The cold medicine spread from the back of the neck with a sharp stinging pain.

Fu Qing took a breath in impatient breath.

From the moment he knocked on the door, he never heard Fu Qing finish a complete sentence. He began to frown: "Fu Qing, I'm coming in."

I thought of the poor little bug in the original book who would hide and lick his wounds by himself every time he got hurt or his mental strength was unstable. I rubbed my fingertips and pressed the door handle directly.

"You...!" Fu Qing sat on the ground with his back against the bed.

The two insects looked at each other, one frowned in confusion, and the other simply closed his eyes.

The inhibitor gradually brought Fu Qing back to his senses. He calmed his breath and said, "Sir, please... go out first."

The tone was impolite and a little tearful.

Yu Xie's dark eyes circled around the needle in Fu Qing's hand, and he said directly: "I'll call a doctor for you."

No!

Fu Qing's eyes widened, but he had no time to stop her. Yu Xie walked directly into Fu Qing's bedroom, pressed the doctor call button on the bedside, and stretched his long legs beside Fu Qing, and touched Fu Qing's forehead with his palm.

"It's a little hot. You have a fever."

He was fine when he was eating, why did he suddenly have such a severe fever? I don't know the rest of the inhibitor needle tube, so I'm a little confused.

Yu Xie squatted down, took away the syringe, and planned to carry Fu Qing to the bed.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Fu Qing grabbed it and held it in his arms.

Fu Qing's fingertips were hot, he groped for Yu Xie's palm, gradually moved upwards, and clasped the other's entire hand in his palm, with a little possessiveness, like a beast catching its prey.

"Please help me... find another suppressant... thank you... I'll take a rest for you..." Fu Qing kept asking for requests until the other person's name lingered on his tongue.

After Fu Qing finished speaking, he did not let go of the other person's hand. Instead, he held it even tighter and put his face directly on the back of the other person's hand.

It’s so hot, it’s even hotter.

This was Yu Xie's first feeling. He stared at Fu Qing's red eyes, rubbed his fingertips, and gently scratched the corners of his eyes.

Inhibitor, inhibitor.

Yuxie remembered that on his first day of school, Abel had said on the aircraft that Fu Qing was about to enter estrus.

If the female worm is in estrus without the company of a male worm, it must be injected with an inhibitor to relieve the condition. However, female worms that are injected with inhibitors for a long time may develop drug resistance and need to be injected with multiple doses of inhibitors.

"Where is the inhibitor?" Yuxie asked in a low voice.

Fu Qing's head was buzzing, and the remaining slow sound was like a feather touching his nerves.

"In... should be in the cabinet... or on the shelf..." Fu Qing thought dejectedly, he had no memory of it at all.

In order to prevent someone from tampering with it, Fu Qing's inhibitors were stored in different places, and he remembered every location clearly. He should have found it quickly, but he seemed to have lost his memory, his brain was numb, and he couldn't remember anything...

How could this happen?

Yu Xiu was helpless and tried to tug at his reddened hands. The physical quality of a female insect... he needed to work harder on his training.

After failing to escape, Yu Xie picked up Fu Qing with one hand and whispered in his ear: "For the sake of our innocence, you have to hold back..."

Too close...

Fu Qing didn't hear a word, he frowned, his half-closed eyes staring at the Adam's apple that occasionally swayed in front of him.

hiss……!

I cursed inwardly, this poor little bug bites me!
