Chapter 76

 

Lu Jingning’s current situation looked quite dire. He was not only bound physically but also injected with suppressants, completely stifling any release of the remaining pheromones in his body. It seemed nearly impossible for him to emit even a trace of his pheromones.

 

However, he wasn’t entirely satisfied with Zhong Feng’s statement. How could they say he was keen on seeking death? Provoking them had nothing to do with seeking death from any perspective. At most, it could be seen as a willingness to explore the truth.

 

In response, Lu Jingning put on a harmless smile and said, “Don’t say that. After all, we’ve met, and now that I’m in your hands, could you answer some questions for me?”

 

Zhong Feng couldn’t believe that the man before him could still maintain such a playful attitude in this situation. He had endured days of misery in prison, and all he could think about was the face he loathed so much. Now, having this man at his mercy, he felt quite satisfied. He coldly taunted, “You’re already a dead man. There’s no need for pointless chitchat.”

 

“But isn’t it necessary to talk a bit before dying, so you can die contentedly?” Lu Jingning chuckled and blinked curiously. “Since you were able to find me, you must have seen Wen Xingchen too. Knowing our identities, you still concealed the information and set a trap for your current boss. Is that really a wise move?”

 

It was clear from their previous conversation that the other two men had no idea about his true identity, suggesting that Zhong Feng had kept them in the dark intentionally. This self-sabotaging behavior piqued Lu Jingning’s curiosity about this man’s thought process.

 

Zhong Feng snapped, “So what? As long as I can capture you, I can do it at any cost!”

 

He had managed to escape during the chaos in the prison and made his way to Watchful Star, becoming a member of this mysterious organization. His A-level pheromone strength made him stand out among the others and gained him the favor of the leaders. He could have chosen to live a comfortable and carefree life on this remote planet through various means. But then, he encountered Lu Jingning—the man who had pushed him into the abyss.

 

The seed of resentment had been growing in his heart, and when he saw the face that he deeply abhorred, he couldn’t restrain his hatred. To him, such a comfortable life was meaningless unless he could get his master to help him exact revenge and annihilate these people. He knew that if his master knew these people were sent by the military academy, they would cease their actions. To make his master believe that the so-called Wen Corporation really existed, he decided to hide everything he knew.

 

And now, it seemed that his plan had succeeded. Lu Jingning was right before him, and all he needed to do was stab him to have his revenge.

 

Zhong Feng couldn’t help but lick the tip of his blade and smiled sinisterly. “They all say your face is handsome, but why do I find it so disgusting? If I thoroughly destroy this charming face, do you think Wen Xingchen will go insane?”

 

He vividly remembered the two people from that day in the warehouse. He wanted to destroy them both!

 

Lu Jingning, however, calmly lifted his leg and delivered a swift kick, sending Zhong Feng sprawling to the ground. The sudden pain made him instinctively retch.

 

Lu Jingning’s voice was chillingly low, “If you have any issues with me, deal with me. Who gave you the right to involve Wen Xingchen?”

 

Seemingly unaffected by the bound hands, Lu Jingning stood up, carrying the chair with him, and stepped closer to Zhong Feng, then delivered another kick, slamming him against the wall.

 

Zhong Feng’s head was spinning, and a strong sense of threat made him hesitate. Just as he was about to swing his blade at Lu Jingning, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Lu Jingning had kicked him again, causing him to crash into the wall.

 

The sudden change caught Zhong Feng off guard, and he stammered, “This can’t be…”

 

The display of strength was nothing like that of an Omega without pheromones.

 

As the situation unfolded, Lu Jingning freed himself from the ropes and coldly observed the man named Zhong Feng, who lay on the ground, his chest heaving with fear and desperation. Zhong Feng tried to use his Alpha pheromones to influence Lu Jingning, but to no avail, as Lu Jingning was not affected by an A-class Alpha.

 

Lu Jingning kicked Zhong Feng’s head again, taunting him with disdain. He mocked Zhong Feng for being clueless about the possibilities and unable to recognize his mistakes. Lu Jingning reminded him of the errors he had made in the past, and how he was making the biggest mistake of his life right now, trying to threaten and harm Lu Jingning and the people he cared about.

 

Desperate and panicking, Zhong Feng tried to reason with Lu Jingning, claiming that killing him would be illegal as he was an escaped convict. However, Lu Jingning calmly retorted that he was acting in self-defense against Zhong Feng’s aggressive actions.

 

Despite Zhong Feng’s plea, Lu Jingning swiftly took hold of the situation. In a fierce and decisive move, he impaled Zhong Feng’s heart with his own knife. As the blood poured out, Lu Jingning watched him slide lifelessly down the wall.

 

Aware that others would be drawn by the commotion, Lu Jingning needed to escape the scene. He scoured Zhong Feng’s belongings and found a laser gun in a bag. Lu Jingning chuckled at Zhong Feng’s attempts to deceive him earlier.

 

Now, relying solely on his physical prowess, as his pheromones had been suppressed, Lu Jingning moved agilely through the chaos of the corridor, leaving behind a trail of bodies. The low-level hired hands, mostly weaker Alphas or Betas, couldn’t do anything to stop his swift movement.

 

Finally, as he found himself alone in the corridor, Lu Jingning smiled. He had managed to evade capture and kill his captors with sheer skill and luck. However, he knew that he had to act quickly before others arrived. The enemies’ pheromones had been suppressing his own, and it was dangerous to stay exposed.

 

Laughing at his good fortune, Lu Jingning continued to navigate through the complex, preparing for the next challenge that awaited him.

 

He glanced at the bloodstains on his clothes, unsure when they got there, and stowed the newly acquired firearms into the leather pouch around his waist. Scanning the surroundings, he took a step towards a deeper area. According to Zhong Feng’s implication, those people still didn’t know their true identities. In that case, Wen Xingchen and the others must be on their way to “pick him up” by now.

 

Before they arrived, he had to create more chaos in this place. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous if the enemy operated in secret while they were exposed. Moreover, the suppressants that Zhong Feng used earlier seemed to be gradually taking effect. With these thoughts in mind, Lu Jingning felt an increasing sense of urgency to accelerate his progress.

 

However, just as he took a few steps forward, his footsteps suddenly halted. He felt a gaze fixed on him, which gave rise to an unprecedented sense of threat. Lu Jingning instinctively looked up and saw through the transparent window a platform on the second floor where a flying aircraft was stationed.

 

Standing by the aircraft was a white-haired man with a slender appearance. Under the faint starlight, his face seemed to be covered with a strange white hue. The man was looking in Lu Jingning’s direction, and the gaze came directly from his unique eyes, which had a distinctive emerald-green color and vertical pupils.

 

During that brief moment when their eyes met, Lu Jingning felt a chill enveloping his entire body. Not out of fear, but because of his exceptional eyesight, he could clearly see the unique pupils in those eyes – they were emerald green and vertically shaped.

 

The man gazed at him for a while and then turned to board the aircraft, disappearing into the sky.

 

…

 

The location where Wen Xingchen and the others were supposed to rendezvous was a hotel not far from the south of the harbor. As they didn’t know the other party’s background, everyone was extremely cautious.

 

Upon entering the hotel, they found the lobby empty and deserted. As they proceeded further inside, scattered corpses lying on the ground came into view, shocking them all. Realizing what had happened, Wen Xingchen hurriedly quickened his steps, running deep into the hotel.

 

As they went deeper, the silence became increasingly dreadful. Throughout their journey, Wen Xingchen failed to perceive any trace of Lu Jingning’s pheromones, no matter how hard he tried to sense them. His pace quickened even further.

 

He couldn’t remember how many rooms he had opened so far when, as he pushed open another door, the person inside instinctively stood up, and almost simultaneously, raised their firearms at him.

 

Recognizing the person’s appearance, Wen Xingchen felt his breath pause for a moment before he managed to speak with a slightly hoarse voice, “It’s me.”

 

With his back to the light, Lu Jingning sensed the overly familiar pheromones surrounding him, and he couldn’t help but smile lightly, “Ah, you finally came.”

 

Once he relaxed, Lu Jingning almost slumped into Wen Xingchen’s arms, who quickly embraced him. Covered in bloodstains, Wen Xingchen dared not move too much, unsure of where Lu Jingning might be injured.

 

Taking in the pleasant scent of mint smoke, Lu Jingning felt the wandering gaze of the other person on him. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “Don’t worry, it’s all someone else’s blood, I’m fine.”

 

Only then did Wen Xingchen’s tense heart ease up a bit, and just as he was about to say something, the person in his arms spoke again, “I just want to… sleep for a while.”

 

Wen Xingchen’s back stiffened, and he blurted out, “Sleep?!”

 

Lu Jingning: “Mhm, I just want to rest for a bit.”

 

With the combat process, Lu Jingning had kept his nerves tense, resisting the strong drowsiness caused by the two suppressants. Only when he was lying in the comforting embrace could he finally relax. At this moment, his eyelids couldn’t help but droop, and he seemed to be completely engulfed by a profound darkness.

 

Keeping this posture, Wen Xingchen fell silent for a moment, feeling the rising and falling breath of the person in his arms. He hugged him tighter and said in a hoarse voice, “You really are reckless.”

 

The author has something to say: Lu bro is very angry after being touched the wrong way, and the consequences are severe. Tsk, in a way, it’s all for you, Lao Wen.

Chapter 75

When Lu Jingning woke up, he found himself bound in a dimly lit room. His eyes were covered with a cloth, and for the moment, he could only ascertain that his current location wasn’t too far from the cruise port on Watcher’s Island.

 

The area nearby was bustling with people, even at this late hour, clearly indicating that it was a lively part of the island. No wonder they had set up their base here. It’s no surprise that the garrison couldn’t find anything even after searching remote areas.

 

There was no one else in the room, only him sitting alone on a rough wooden chair. The air was thick with a foul smell of dust and something moldy, making him feel uncomfortable.

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t help but recall what happened earlier. Originally, he went back to his room to find the missing bracelet but discovered that someone seemed to be following him. His first reaction was to play along, to see what those people were planning. However, as soon as he entered the room, they released a high concentration of smoke, likely a potent drug.

 

He had encountered such crude methods before, but under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t affect him much. However, this time, the timing was unfortunate. Lu Jingning “collapsed” on the bed, and soon enough, some people rushed in. Sensing that they didn’t have immediate intentions to harm him, he conserved his energy until he fell into a state of unconsciousness. Before that, he hid the bells from the bracelet in his hand, leaving just the bracelet itself as a clue for Wen Xingchen and the others.

 

He wondered how long had passed since then and if Lao Wen had discovered anything.

 

Lu Jingning was still bound and had nothing to do in the pitch-black room. The effect of the drug persisted, making his body weak and frail, perfectly portraying the image of a vulnerable male pet.

 

At that moment, the door was pushed open. The person entering the room assumed he was still unconscious and made some mocking remarks, his voice sharp, “Speaking of it, the boss is something else. He actually listened to someone and brought this Omega here. What use is there in kidnapping him? I heard this little pet is the Starlight of the Star God. A rich family’s young master like him must have countless male pets. How could he be willing to come here just for an Omega?”

 

Another person had a hoarse voice, “Tsk, what do you know? The boss doesn’t really expect to exchange this Omega for anything. He just wanted an excuse to lure those people here. Think about it, once they enter our territory, we can do whatever we want with them. Whether we give him back or not, isn’t it up to us to decide?”

 

“Yeah, you’re right.” The one with the sharp voice laughed and gazed at the black cloth covering Lu Jingning’s face, his intentions evident, “I heard this Omega is a top-notch one. While he’s still unconscious, why don’t we have some fun first?”

 

Listening to their conversation, Lu Jingning struggled to hold back a smirk. It seemed that the big fish had taken the bait!

 

Footsteps gradually approached him, and he could sense the two getting closer. They were about to uncover the cloth from his eyes when a stern voice came from the doorway, “Is this person someone you can just touch at will?”

 

The voice was low and unpleasant, and for some reason, Lu Jingning felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

 

The two intruders froze in place, “We, we were just looking.”

 

“Looking? Who gave you permission to look?” The newcomer’s cold laughter rang out as he threw something onto the table in the middle of the room, “Take this and inject him with it.”

 

“What is this…” The sharp voice became somewhat stunned after seeing what was on the table, “Why should we inject him with this?”

 

The man with the hoarse voice sounded displeased, “Just do it. Why so much talk?”

 

It was clear that the newcomer held a higher position than the two who came before. Under his obvious annoyance, the two quickly picked up what was on the table and stood on either side of Lu Jingning.

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t see what they were about to inject him with, so he hesitated for a moment. Finally, he chose to remain completely unresponsive, allowing them to inject whatever it was into his body.

 

Seemingly worried that the dose might not be enough, the other man injected two doses.

 

“You can leave now.”

 

The newcomer dismissed the sharp-voiced man and the one with the hoarse voice, and then he pulled a chair from the side and sat right in the center of the room.

 

The sound of the wooden chair scraping against the floor was somewhat grating.

 

For a long time, no one spoke.

 

Lu Jingning had expected a reaction to follow, but there was none. Instead, he felt the pheromone energy inside him gradually subside. It suddenly occurred to him that what those people had injected him with wasn’t a pheromone inducer but… a suppressant?

 

After realizing this, he lowered his eyelashes slightly beneath the black cloth, his expression turning slightly gloomy. The role he played now was that of a frail and weak Omega slave, unable to resist or even show any sign of pheromone arousal without any premonition of heat. From any angle, there was no need for them to inject him with a suppressant.

 

The situation could only mean one thing – they knew who he was and were vigilant against his pheromone abilities.

 

As if to confirm his speculation, the person in the room stood up and walked slowly toward him, his tone dark, “I know you’re awake. There’s no point in pretending anymore, right?”

 

With his words, the black cloth covering Lu Jingning’s eyes fell away, and the sudden light made him squint for a moment. Once he adjusted, he saw a face that was sinister and full of resentment.

 

The face of a person he never expected to see again – Zhong Feng.

 

At this moment, Lu Jingning recalled the bounty hunters he saw at the garrison. It seemed that among the escapees, this guy was also one of them, and somehow, he ended up in this mysterious organization.

 

Zhong Feng appeared completely different from his flamboyant demeanor at Imperial Navy University. Now, he looked like an entirely changed person.

 

The once curly hair was now cut short, and scars scattered across his shaved head. He looked thin and unrecognizable, his aura entirely gloomy, resembling a venomous snake, staring at its prey, ready to bare its sharp fangs.

 

Lu Jingning wasn’t sure what happened to him during these days, but one thing was certain – the incident in the warehouse seemed to have left a significant psychological impact on him. Otherwise, why would he go from carrying a pheromone inducer with him to hastily injecting a suppressant upon seeing Lu Jingning?

 

Smirking at Zhong Feng’s increasingly menacing expression, Lu Jingning couldn’t help but laugh, his voice tinged with a touch of sarcasm, “What I really didn’t expect was that, Zhong Feng, after all this time, you’re still the same – such lowly scum.”

 

Lu Jingning’s words were undoubtedly like a sharp blade, piercing directly into Zhong Feng’s sore spot. The originally icy expression on Zhong Feng’s face was now covered with a deep, murderous intent. “As always, you’re so keen on seeking death!”

 

…

 

After Wen Xingchen returned and informed Wen Ye and Bing Yunlin about Lu Jingning’s disappearance, Wen Ye furrowed his brows, “Let’s split up and look for him.”

 

“No need. Let’s wait,” Wen Xingchen said firmly, tightly clutching the ankle bracelet that Lu Jingning had left behind. Though he felt an impulse to rush out, his rationality held him back, “He left a secret signal; it seems like he’s playing along with their plans. He shouldn’t be in immediate danger.”

 

Bing Yunlin glanced at Wen Xingchen’s expression and tried to console him, “Go get some water and calm your mind.”

 

Wen Xingchen nodded and allowed his gaze to drift to the distance, looking absent-minded.

 

He was currently feeling quite conflicted. He couldn’t discern whether his emotions were genuine or if he was merely putting on a show for those lurking in the shadows.

 

The more the situation escalated, the more he blamed himself for losing control last night.

 

Bing Yunlin didn’t say much more and gave some instructions to the others before patting Wen Ye’s shoulder and calling him aside, “After we receive information, most of the main actions will likely fall on us. Lu Jingning’s absence has clearly unsettled Wen Xingchen.”

 

Wen Ye nodded, “I understand, and I can relate.”

 

Amused by Wen Ye’s response, Bing Yunlin smiled slyly, “Understand the mission arrangements or understand your precious little brother?”

 

“Both,” Wen Ye replied calmly, casting a glance at Wen Xingchen, who was still standing motionless in the open area. His voice remained steady, “If you were the one missing, I probably wouldn’t be able to maintain my composure either.”

 

Bing Yunlin didn’t expect Wen Ye to say such a thing and fell silent for a moment before letting out a soft laugh, “That’s true, I guess there’s some truth to that.”

 

As Bing Yunlin gazed at Wen Ye with tender eyes, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

 

“It’s nothing. I just feel that it’s not easy to hear a few sweet words from your mouth,” Bing Yunlin teased.

 

Wen Ye: “…………”

 

Is that so?

 

…

 

The harbor was far from tranquil during the night, with the bustling city district not too far away, its lights illuminating the night sky.

 

However, the evening breeze blowing through the area still carried a chilly touch.

 

As the surrounding transport vehicles saw that they hadn’t left for quite some time, they gradually departed one after another.

 

Finally, Wen Ye received the long-awaited message from his communicator. The content was simple: a location. Apart from that, there was no other information provided. Yet, it seemed like they were entirely certain that they should understand the significance of this message.

 

For Wen Xingchen and the others currently waiting for contact, there was indeed no need for further explanation.

 

Undoubtedly, it was Lu Jingning’s current location.

 

This communicator was specially prepared for their mission and only given to those on the cruise ship who tried to engage in negotiations.

 

It seemed that their target had already had contact with them before and had obtained their contact information in advance.

 

Unfortunately, the communication number on the other side was encrypted, making it difficult to obtain more clues in a short period.

 

Clearly, this had been planned for a long time.

 

However, at this moment, all of that seemed unimportant. They had to rescue Lu Jingning, and the sooner, the better.

 

With no hesitation, Wen Xingchen swiftly disappeared into the night.

 

Everyone chose to depart immediately. The urgency was evident; otherwise, they might lose Lu Jingning’s life.

Chapter 74

 

Because they had been drinking wine quietly in the hall, Wen Xingchen’s breath was now filled with a faint smell of alcohol. When such words entered his ears, they carried a hint of affection.

 

Lu Jingning could feel the Alpha’s scent enveloping him instantly, making the pheromones in his body eager to cater to him.

 

His voice couldn’t help tense up a bit and he said in a hoarse voice: “It’s not the estrus again, is it? Don’t make trouble.”

 

“I didn’t make a fuss.” Wen Xingchen leaned over and kissed his glands lightly. His slightly drooping eyes were filled with a faint fire that moved upwards along his neck, and finally, their lips met.

 

Under his actions, Lu Jingning couldn’t help but let out a muffled snort. As the teasing began, his whole body began to be filled with excitement and gradually indulged in it.

 

It is undeniable that everything about this person makes him irresistible.

 

Hearing the sound of Xingchen’s deep breathing, Lu Jingning subconsciously stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around the man’s broad back and tightly grabbed the man’s shirt with his fingers.

 

Wen Xingchen, who was wearing aristocratic clothes, exuded a different feeling than usual. He was very tempting.

 

Lu Jingning’s pheromones were completely drawn out, he raised his jaw, and responded to this deep kiss.

 

This kiss eventually deepened and when they finally separated, both of them could feel each other’s warm body temperature and erratically beating heart.

 

He didn’t really have any ideas before, but at this time, Lu Jingning also felt that his interest had been completely aroused. With some mist in his eyes, he half-smile: “Then, what kind of game does the master want to play?”

 

While he was talking, his slender fingertips did not forget to travel gently behind Wen Xingchen’s back, like a slithering snake, quietly probing or teasing at danger.

 

Wen Xingchen felt an itch envelope at his heart bit by bit as he was poked on his back. He stretched out his hand without warning, picked up Lu Jingning and threw him on the bed.

 

Lu Jingning saw that Wen Xingchen was about to unbutton his shirt. After squatting for a while, he suddenly approached him with a smile on his face: “Master, I’ll help you take it off.”

 

When Wen Xingchen was called out like this, he couldn’t help but stop the movements of his hands. In the blink of an eye, Lu Jingning had already moved in front of him, his eyelids lowered slightly as his fingers neatly unbuttoned his collar one by one.

 

The clothes were scattered and Lu Jingning’s eyes fell on his chest and he couldn’t help moaning.

 

Wen Xingchen always looked down at him quietly.

 

Because he was still wearing the daytime clothes, there was a sort of tempting feeling under the dim light at this time. From this angle, no matter from what angle he looked at, his facial features seemed fatally alluring, which made him lose control.

 

Seeing that Lu Jingning let go of his collar, Wen Xingchen suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist. He then leaned forward for a while and pressed him firmly on the bed.

 

The ribbons that were dotted around the ends of his hair were completely pulled off and with this movement, the bells on his ankles also made a crisp sound. The atmosphere at this time was like a cue that completely smashed the last sliver of reason remaining. Even that would be an understatement.

 

Wen Xingchen pinched Lu Jingning’s waist vigorously and when he heard the person under him moan, the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction: “What shall we do next, darling?”

 

Lu Jingning could feel the other person’s breath almost brushing against his cheeks. He didn’t know whether he was really aroused or just subconsciously attracted to him. He suddenly stretched out his hand and tore off the clothes covering Wen Xingchen’s body. Looking at the curved and sexy silhouette of the Alpha’s upper body, he licked the corner of his lips: “We should do as you like, master.”

 

The expression in Wen Xingchen’s eyes flickered: “Kiss me.”

 

Lu Jingning smiled sweetly, gently hooked the other’s neck with both hands and pulled down hard, pulling the whole person down, and kissing him heavily.

 

Such a kiss lasted extremely long, long enough for the two of them to immerse themselves in it unknowingly and completely stir up the flames in their bodies, making it difficult to control themselves, and gradually starting a prairie fire.

 

The heat had already enveloped his entire body. Lu Jingning moved his legs and wanted to sit up and look directly at Wen Xingchen, but the other party suddenly pressed him down and onto the bed.

 

The eyes of the two met at a very close proximity and Lu Jingning’s breathing became heavier: “Wen ge, do you want to do it?”

 

Wen Xingchen’s self-restraint completely collapsed under his voice and his slender fingers stroked the hair beside Lu Jingning’s ear. His voice was hoarse and deep: “Call me Master.”

 

Lu Jingning’s interest was also quite high, he smiled lightly and called out tiredly: “Yes, master.”

 

After taking off their clothes, the naked upper bodies of the two were stuck together tightly. The strange tingling feeling made the surrounding lingering pheromones more intertwined.

 

Wen Xingchen’s fingers lightly slid across Lu Jingning’s waist, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly landed on Lu Jingning’s legs.

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t help but moan. His legs tensed subconsciously, because of the slight shaking, the bell on his ankle made a faint sound.

 

In such an atmosphere, it was like an invisible hand stirring up the already extremely strong desire.

 

Lu Jingning could feel the Alpha’s scent completely enveloping him. His hands couldn’t help but tightly grip the bed sheet, feeling Wen Xingchen’s fingers protruding into his deepest parts. The emptiness left him unsatisfied and he couldn’t help but straighten up his lower body.

 

Wen Xingchen’s fingers were slender and flexible. Due to years of hard training, there were thick calluses on them and that kind of roughness brought a different kind of fun.

 

“Hmm… ah…”

 

Lu Jingning involuntarily let out a low, sticky gasp, and subconsciously separated his legs a little.

 

But at this moment, Wen Xingchen suddenly withdrew his hand.

 

Just when Lu Jingning looked up with some dissatisfaction, Wen Xingchen suddenly separated his legs and then leaned over and kissed them lightly.

 

It was as if a kind of electric current burst out of his body, causing Lu Jingning to choke up instinctively.

 

The tip of his tongue licked his private part little by little, and all his senses seemed to gather in that embarrassing place.

 

It was the first time that Lu Jingning felt that they were making love so mysteriously.

 

The pleasure was magnified in an instant. He moaned lowly and his vision couldn’t help but feel a little blurred. The subconscious release of pheromones in his body made him feel completely addicted to the feeling as his chest kept rising and falling.

 

When Wen Xingchen looked up at him with an emotional expression and flushed cheeks, the lust in his heart was completely drawn out.

 

His gaze passed over Lu Jingning’s body bit by bit.

 

An Omega’s body is often much softer than Alpha’s, but because of the training since childhood, Lu Jingning’s body is still full of unique charm compared with a normal Omega’s.

 

His legs are very long, with beautiful muscular lines, and everything is just right.

 

Such a body is enough to drive any Alpha crazy.

 

The smell of mint and plum sauce lingered in the air.

 

It lasted so long that Lu Jingning didn’t know how long had passed. He could feel that his body had been teased to the extreme, his waist and abdomen were tense there, trembling uncontrollably, while subconsciously wanting to cater to the other person.

 

The feeling of emptiness in his body made him instinctively want to be completely filled.

 

He finally couldn’t help but raise his leg and weakly kick the man who was still teasing him repeatedly: “Stop playing, come in already…”

 

Wen Xingchen actually couldn’t wait any longer and responded dotingly. He lifted Lu Jingning’s legs, lowered his body slightly, and pushed his desire into his deepest parts.

 

“Aha……”

 

Instinctively, Lu Jingning put his arm around Wen Xingchen’s neck at this moment, and his body was completely stretched open, causing his whole body to burn again.

 

The lingering and long-lasting pleasure spread numbly throughout his body with each impact.

 

Lu Jingning could hear Wen Xingchen’s heavy breathing in his ears, which was extremely clear in the silent night.

 

Before they knew it, both of them were already drenched in thin sweat, and unconsciously changed positions without a sound. Lu Jingning was already sitting on Wen Xingchen’s lap like this.

 

Such a posture has an indescribably different sensation. His moving waist quickly allowed his body to find the most pleasurable position before rapidly accumulating that pleasure where the two of them are joined together, making them quickly become a mess.

 

Seeing that he was close, Wen Xingchen suddenly grabbed Lu Jingning’s waist, and the moment he lowered his hips, he pushed up and into him harshly.

 

Lu Jingning couldn’t help but choked up at the pleasure of penetrating his soul. A wave of extreme pleasure enveloped his lower half. Although he didn’t penetrate his uterus, it was enough for him to finish.

 

While exhaling hotly, Wen Xingchen gently played with Lu Jingning’s anklet with his hand and hugged the limp person in his arms even tighter.

 

Previously, the two became involved due to outside factors. This was probably the first time that they came together out of their own will, while being completely sober. The entire thing was inevitable and it took so long before they both became tangled like this.

 

Before that, Lu Jingning never thought that Wen Xingchen would have such an awful kink, and of course, he never thought that he would really cooperate like this.

 

When he thought about it, it is estimated that this kind of role-playing will still be brought up in the future in private after.

 

In the dead of night, the whole room was filled with the aroma of sandalwood and their pheromones under the dim light, full of desire.

 

Prompted by instincts, Wen Xingchen couldn’t help biting Lu Jingning’s glands in the end. This kind of behavior was completely uncontrollable. If it wasn’t for his remaining rationality that reminded him that he was still on a mission, he was afraid he would continue to push the boundaries.

 

But even so, the pheromone entered Lu Jingning’s body and seemed to consume a lot of his physical strength before he finally collapsed into Wen Xingchen’s arms and fell into a deep sleep .

 

Wen Xingchen quietly put his arms around Lu Jingning, and if conditions permit, he might have even wanted to light a cigarette.

 

After their impulsive actions, the room seemed very messy. He silently looked at the man in his arms. Because his left hand was under the pillow and couldn’t move, he could only stretch out his right hand to gently rub his hair and slightly drooping eyebrows.

 

He felt a bit of remorse.

 

An Alpha’s pheromone is indeed a good pacifier during Omega’s heat, but it will also reduce the Omega’s strength.

 

This makes his actions today very inappropriate during this five-star mission.

 

In the past, it was absolutely impossible for Wen Xingchen to allow himself to make such a low-level mistake.

 

However, once he faced Lu Jingning, he seemed to be unable to control the excessive possessiveness in his heart.

 

As long as he has a relationship with this person, he will always become impulsive and unable to control himself.

 

Was this what being perfectly suited for each other meant…

 

Wen Xingchen leaned over slightly and deeply kissed the ends of Lu Jingning’s hair. He murmured in a low voice: “It must be. But it’s up to you.”

 

…

 

At noon the next day, the others felt strange as not only Lu Jingning, but also Wen Xingchen, who had always been self-disciplined, still hadn’t appeared for a long time after the sun was up.

 

Wen Ye didn’t want to interfere too much at first, but in the end he was still worried and asked Cen Junfeng to go over and see what the situation was.

 

Cen Junfeng hesitated for a while at the door of the guest room before finally mustering up the courage to knock on the door.

 

Not long after, the door opened and Wen Xingchen stood at the entrance, looking at him with a faint expression and deliberately lowering his voice as if not to disturb someone, “He’s still asleep. We’ll come find you all later.”

 

Cen Junfeng’s gaze drifted past Wen Xingchen’s side and it fell upon a messy room with scattered clothes strewn all over the floor. A bracelet lay not far from the doorway, not to mention the scattered ribbons and accessories, as if it were a scene from a wild revelry.

 

He couldn’t naively believe that these two were really dutifully maintaining their facade for the public. The situation at hand made it evident that what happened last night was no mere act.

 

Indeed, young people were always brimming with passion.

 

…

 

Cen Junfeng fell silent for a moment, trying his best to control the expression on his face, “You two carry on, I’ll go back and speak with the young master first.”

 

After saying that, he turned stiffly and, in the next second, accelerated swiftly, escaping Wen Xingchen’s line of sight.

 

Wen Xingchen watched the fleeing figure quietly, then couldn’t help but chuckle softly, turning around to close the door again.

 

On that day, news spread widely about the Second Young Master Wen spending the entire day in the guest room with his male companion, even having their lunch delivered by the service staff.

 

The team leader listened to the discussions of others and couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional.

 

Such genuine affection!

 

Unfortunately, although the reputation of the Wen Family’s business consortium was well-established, the person they were waiting for had yet to appear.

 

…

 

In the evening, the cruise ship finally arrived at Watcher’s Island. After docking at the harbor, passengers began disembarking.

 

Bing Yunlin arranged for Cen Junfeng to closely monitor the cargo with Yu Qingcang and Qin Yuankai, but they still couldn’t find a trace of the target they were waiting for.

 

On the other hand, a neighboring business consortium seemed particularly interested in them. They held the Second Young Master Wen and his brother, Wen Ye, in conversation for quite some time, exchanging contact information before bidding farewell reluctantly.

 

When Wen Xingchen returned, he didn’t see Lu Jingning around, so he asked Bing Yunlin, who was waiting there. Bing Yunlin replied, “He just noticed that he was missing a bracelet, probably something from the garrison. He said he went back to the room to get it.”

 

Just as Yu Qingcang finished unloading the cargo and returned, he found Wen Xingchen’s expression strange and said, “Lu Jingning went back to the cruise ship? That’s not possible. I just went around to all the rooms, didn’t see anyone.”

 

Saying that, he saw Wen Xingchen’s face change, hesitated, and awkwardly smiled, “It’s probably that I missed him by chance. I mean it is Lu Jingning anyway. Even if he ran into someone, the other person should be the one having bad luck… right?”

 

Under normal circumstances, Wen Xingchen would undoubtedly agree with such a statement, but last night…

 

His heart sank, without a second thought, he turned and rushed back to the cruise ship.

 

The others exchanged glances, and Cen Junfeng and Yu Qingcang followed suit in pursuit.

 

They rushed directly to the guest room and found only an empty room. The bracelet that Lu Jingning was looking for lay not far from the bed.

 

Though faint, there was indeed a strange scent lingering in the air, now almost dissipated.

 

In that moment, Wen Xingchen felt as if he fell into an endless abyss.

 

Lu Jingning was gone.

Chapter 73

 

Soon, the other passengers on the cruise ship learned about the arrival of the Wen Trading Group and were impressed by their grandeur.

 

The eldest brother was steady and reserved, in control of the business. The second brother was charismatic and carefree, enjoying his days with his ethereal male pet, who was like a heavenly being. The manager appeared gentle and refined, but behind that facade, he was extremely shrewd and impervious to any temptations or tricks. He navigated effortlessly through the inquisitive merchant groups, revealing nothing.

 

Nobody knew the true origins of these people, only that they came from a distant galaxy called Watcher’s Star, seeking a suitable buyer for the precious treasure they brought with them.

 

Although the exact details of the treasure were unclear, rumors about it were spreading like wildfire. It was said to be a unique item in their galaxy, and the Wen family had spent almost all of their assets to acquire it. Owning it would be equivalent to possessing hundreds of rare mines.

 

As Lu Jingning passed by, he occasionally overheard people talking about it. Despite their hushed tones, his keen hearing caught every word. He couldn’t help but bury his face in Wen Xingchen’s shoulder, trying not to reveal his laughter-induced expression. “These people are just amazing; they are like divine assistants!”

 

Wen Xingchen lovingly patted his shoulder and smiled with a hint of playfulness. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he said, “It’s better this way; it saves us from putting on too much of a show. The rumors are spreading exactly as we wanted.”

 

Cen Junfeng, however, looked puzzled. “How do we spice things up?”

 

Lu Jingning turned his head, smiling mischievously as he fixed his gaze on him.

 

In that moment, Cen Junfeng could clearly feel his heart skip a beat, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

 

And in the next second, he saw Lu Jingning suddenly raise his hand and flip the small round table in front of them. All the fruit plates and wine glasses fell to the ground, making a mess.

 

As the initiator of this commotion, Lu Jingning leaned into Wen Xingchen’s embrace, his eyes moist as if about to cry, and his voice trembling as he said, “You… you are so presumptuous! This garment is a rare Jakfir pearl and delicate silk gown, woven with coral white star silk. It was bought with a large sum of money by my master for someone else. How dare you, a lowly person, dare to touch it with your dirty hands, defiling it? Master, please punish him severely, cut off his hands, break his legs, and throw him into the deep sea to feed the mermaids!”

 

Cen Junfeng: “???”

 

Although the emphasis was a bit off, he couldn’t help but admire how Lu Jingning remembered the name of such an extraordinary garment. Well done, my Lu bro!

 

After finishing his tearful outburst, Lu Jingning continued to bury himself in Wen Xingchen’s arms, his back still shaking slightly. He looked every bit like an indulged and spoiled person, using the situation as an excuse to let loose.

 

Wen Xingchen couldn’t help but glance at him from the corner of his eye, catching a glimpse of his lips curling up. In that moment, Lu Jingning almost burst out laughing.

 

To the onlookers, however, they could only see a pitiful back figure, seemingly in distress.

 

Wen Xingchen finally managed to suppress the smile that almost appeared on his face. He pretended to be composed, patted Lu Jingning’s shoulder, and turned to the terrified Cen Junfeng, saying, “Qin Yuankai, didn’t you hear? Since my precious can’t stand him, drag this man out for me.”

 

Qin Yuankai, with a composed expression, nodded and moved forward to fulfill his orders.

 

Cen Junfeng sobbed and wailed while Yu Qingcang received a meaningful glance from Bing Yunlin. Yu Qingcang instantly understood the situation and immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with mournful cries.

 

Despite the lively atmosphere in the cruise ship’s main hall, the dramatic scene had captured everyone’s attention.

 

After finishing his act, Lu Jingning stopped pretending and returned to his usual composed self. With teary eyes, he looked angrily at the two men on the ground. “You… you dare to beg for mercy? It seems you truly don’t take my master seriously!”

 

Bing Yunlin, sensing that the show had reached its peak, cleared his throat and stepped forward, addressing Wen Ye. “Young Master, we still need manpower to guard the ‘Starlight of the Stars’ during this journey. If there’s internal discord within the merchant group at this critical moment, it might not be wise.”

 

Wen Ye nodded, his expression slightly reproachful as he glanced at Wen Xingchen. “Second Brother, I can’t control whom you favor, but I have already been lenient enough to let you bring someone along for such an important journey. Don’t cause any trouble at this crucial time.”

 

Wen Xingchen’s face showed a hint of discontent at the reproach, but Lu Jingning received a warning look from Wen Ye, which made him immediately silent and shrink into Wen Xingchen’s embrace.

 

Seeing that they stopped causing a scene, Wen Ye’s displeasure eased. To avoid disrupting his brother’s mood further, he asked Qin Yuankai to escort Cen and Yu out of the main cabin to patrol outside.

 

Bing Yunlin then took care of the aftermath and summoned the cruise ship’s staff to clean up the mess. Everything quickly returned to normal.

 

However, the conversation had not gone unnoticed by a few people who were nearby.

 

Exchanging glances, they saw shock in each other’s eyes.

 

What did they just hear? “Starlight of the Stars”? The legendary interstellar treasure that had disappeared for thousands of years?

 

Although they didn’t dare to show too much in front of Wen Ye and the others, they soon spread the news privately through their frequent interactions with each other.

 

Previously, people had speculated about the Wen family’s merchandise, but nobody expected the scale to be so enormous.

 

Lu Jingning could feel the intense atmosphere around him and couldn’t help but wink at Wen Xingchen. “How about that? Pretty impressive, huh?”

 

Wen Xingchen smiled lightly. “Yes, you are the most impressive.”

 

…

 

After the scene, the Wen Trading Group, which had already been in the spotlight, became the center of attention on the entire ship. Even the cruise ship’s staff came over to curry favor.

 

“A slave auction?” Wen Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. “What an interesting event on this cruise ship.”

 

The staff member felt a bit uneasy under Wen Xingchen’s gaze but maintained a smile. “Yes, we hold such an event every three days, and it’s scheduled for tonight.”

 

In the rumors, Wen’s Second Young Master was known to be quite indulgent and hedonistic. The staff member believed that the diverse selection of slaves they had would surely pique his interest.

 

Unexpectedly, Wen Xingchen’s expression became enigmatic, and he suddenly reached out, using his fingertip to lift the chin of the person in his arms lightly. His tone was languid as he said, “Are any of those slaves as attractive as him?”

 

Because of Wen Xingchen’s displeasure over someone ogling his male pet earlier, the staff member hadn’t dared to look that way while speaking. Only when he heard Wen’s question did he finally turn his head and meet Lu Jingning’s resentful gaze.

 

The staff member couldn’t help but stutter, “I… I’m afraid not.”

 

“Since none of them are as attractive, then what’s the point of participating?” Wen Xingchen said with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

 

The atmosphere around them seemed to become oppressive in an instant, and the staff member’s back was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat. He felt like he was being held in place by an invisible force.

 

However, Lu Jingning seemed completely oblivious to the changed atmosphere. Not only did he not show any signs of retreating, but he also looked displeased and struggled free from Wen Xingchen’s embrace. He turned and walked away, muttering under his breath, “I’m tired today; I want to rest.”

 

The staff member saw Lu Jingning leave the hall without Wen Xingchen getting angry as expected. Instead, he looked annoyed and muttered, “Damn, I have to coax him again!”

 

Bing Yunlin, who had been watching the whole scene from the side, smiled and said, “I apologize for the scene you witnessed. Our Second Young Master cherishes his male pet very much.”

 

The staff member, who felt relieved that there was no further trouble, replied, “It’s alright… I understand.”

 

He had seen many merchant groups from various planets, but he had never seen anyone cherish their male pet to this extent.

 

If only he had such a beautiful and delicate Omega, he probably wouldn’t allow them to suffer even the slightest grievance.

 

Love could be so over the top!

 

…

 

After a whole day of acting, Lu Jingning was fed up with his overly affectionate act.

 

As he walked away from the main hall, he could hear footsteps following him. Despite that, he didn’t slow down his pace.

 

They continued their “chase” until they reached the door of the cabin.

 

Lu Jingning turned around, meeting the other person’s gaze with a playful smile. “Young Master Ya, weren’t you going to see the slave auction? Why did you follow me here?”

 

Wen Xingchen looked at him calmly. “Don’t you know the reason?”

 

Lu Jingning chuckled, standing beside him as he opened the door. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a faint gaze resting on his back.

 

The sensation was eerily real, carrying a chilling coldness mixed with malice, resentment, and greed. It sent a shiver of darkness down his spine.

 

Lu Jingning instinctively turned to look back, but the corridor was deserted, and there was not a single soul in sight. Almost everyone was gathered in the main hall, leaving the hallway empty.

 

His eyebrows slightly furrowed in puzzlement.

 

Wen Xingchen asked when he noticed Lu Jingning’s hesitation, “What’s wrong?”

 

“Nothing… I guess it’s nothing,” Lu Jingning replied, suppressing his doubts and absentmindedly followed Wen Xingchen inside the room.

 

As Wen Xingchen’s male pet, Lu Jingning didn’t need to sleep in a separate room at night. Hence, Bing Yunlin arranged their rooms together.

 

The cabins on the cruise ship were exquisitely decorated, filled with a faint fragrance, and exuding an aura of romance and intimacy.

 

With his mind still occupied by the unsettling feeling from earlier, Lu Jingning didn’t notice when someone swiftly pressed him against the wall, and the door softly locked behind him.

 

He looked up, surprised. “What are you doing?”

 

Wen Xingchen’s eyes glimmered with profound emotions as he replied, “Of course, I’m here to do what a ‘master’ should do.”
