Xu Cenfeng was sure that he had never seen the female insect in front of him, but her behavior and demeanor looked very familiar. Xu Cenfeng stared at her calmly for a moment, then slowly moved his gaze downwards, finally landing on the cigarette between her fingers.
It was already half burned, with a deep tooth mark on the mouthpiece.
Phaeth had a bad habit when smoking. He liked to bite the cigarette holder. He was also a mysophobe. When flicking the ash, he would slightly turn his hand to the side to prevent the ash from getting on his clothes. This kind of delicate little action was actually rare in the north where the people were tough.
Seeing Xu Cenfeng standing still, the golden-eyed female insect gently pushed him from behind and urged him in a low voice, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get over there."
Xu Cenfeng tilted his head and asked, "What's his name?"
The golden-eyed female insect spat out two words: "Wu Ya."
In Zerg culture, "Cen" means cliff.
Xu Cenfeng smiled when he heard this, as if he had guessed something. He jumped onto the rock swiftly, then leaned over and squatted in front of the female insect. The cold wind blew through his inky hair, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
He recognized Phaeth, but considering the distractions around him, he did not show it and acted as if he had never seen him before.
Phaeth lowered his eyes and played with the lighter. Two flickering flames suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Not all of them. There are also some small nails, but they are harmless."
Phaeth paused after hearing this: "Do you like him that much?"
Sanya stood up from the ground, holding his shoulder. He was pale and leaning weakly against the rock, but he could not hide the dangerous aura around him. He corrected coldly: "No, I didn't kill the male insect. I chopped it up bit by bit and fed it to the dogs. It lived for thirteen days."
Phaeth heard the provocation in his words and struck Sanya on the back with his backhand. The latter groaned and rolled off the rocks in pain. Two dark blood spots seeped out slowly through his prison uniform, right at the shoulder blades on his back.
He said this in a casual tone, but if you listened carefully, it carried a dangerous warning.
The southern female insects are recognized as the most gentle among all the tribes. It is hard to imagine that this sentence came from Sanya's mouth.
Xu Cenfeng shook his head: "It's not too late yet."
Upon hearing this, Faus raised his eyebrows slightly. He did nothing, but made a slight gesture, and the prison guard on duty not far away spontaneously stepped forward and handed him a lighter: "Since I dare to come, I am not afraid of being exposed."
Xu Cenfeng thought, did Faers call him here just to ask these questions? He was about to say something, but saw a prison guard approaching not far away. Worried that he would be suspicious if he left for too long, he simply jumped off the rock.
Phaeth cursed inwardly, and said in a fierce manner: "Don't refuse my toast and drink the wine for punishment!"
He looks like a real ruffian.
Faus closed the lid of the lighter with a click, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, which was the direction where Horsburgh was. "You will be free tomorrow at the earliest, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Sanya lowered his eyes and stared at the blade in his hand, which could be called contraband. His eyelashes cast a shadow on his icy skin. "What kind of order? Like the ridiculous order in the south? An order where you can let the male insects slaughter you, and you can't complain even if your wings are forcibly plucked?"
Upon hearing this, Phaeth leaned closer to Xu Cenfeng. His pupils looked gray at first glance, but in the sunlight they were a very light olive green, like a wild beast lurking in the forest. He said with interest, "That's fine. Your queen may have already run away. How about just following me from now on and getting married with you when I'm released from prison?"
Sanya had been sitting next to him basking in the sun. Her high grey ponytail shone slightly in the sunlight, like silky satin. He remained indifferent to what she said. In his hand, he hid a thin blade, which was dazzling when it turned over at his fingertips. "Why, are you afraid that I will kill him?"
With a crisp sound, Sanya pressed the blade in his hand into the rock and whispered word by word: "I prefer the order maintained by death..."
Sanya said calmly: "The northern leader has a fierce reputation. I can't kill as many male insects as you."
Like bubbles, it burst with a "bang".
He sat in the sun. Although he looked clean, he gave people the feeling that there was an endless haze in his bones: "I still..."
Sang Ya stared at him sinisterly: "So the story about you hiding in prison after being injured was also fake?"
Xu Cenfeng did not agree: "Sorry, I already have a female monarch."
He stood up straight from the ground and was about to leave when a chilling voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Aren't you afraid that I will expose your identity?"
Seeing this, Sanya's expression changed slightly: "Are all the people in the prison your secret agents?"
Damn it.
His dear "brother" should still be immersed in the leader's dream and unable to extricate himself, but unfortunately dreams are always short-lived. When the entire list of traitors is dug out, his dream will be shattered.
Upon hearing this, Phaeth raised his hands and clapped, sincerely admiring his courage. "But this is the territory of the north. If you want to continue to survive on this land, you'd better live according to my rules. I don't like anyone provoking me."
Xu Cenfeng turned around and glanced at Phaeth: "If you want to fight, I'm always here to accompany you. See you tonight."
Phaeth: “…”
Phaeth did not comment: "Don't worry, since you helped me cover up, I will give you a new identity after this is over."
Feiwen and the others were standing below, and when they saw this, a look of surprise appeared on their faces. They didn't expect that the newly appointed leader also took a fancy to Xu Cenfeng. They tactfully turned around and walked aside to watch.
Sang Yadun paused: "When?"
“Pah, pah, pah—”
Phaeth raised his eyebrows slightly: "Has the wedding taken place?"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without paying any attention to the female insect's surprised expression. He slowly stopped after he had walked far away, then shook his head gently and smiled to himself.
Phaeth: "You have killed before."
Xu Cenfeng hummed seriously: "I like it very much."
Phaeth flicked the cigarette butt to the ground, thinking of what he had seen and heard in prison during this period, and said to himself: "Maybe I won't kill again in the future, and the North will establish new rules and order."
Xu Cenfeng still refused: "Sorry, I don't want to marry any other insect except him."
Seeing this, Phaeth jumped off the rock swiftly, leaned over and squatted in front of Sanya, and said with an ambiguous tone: "It seems that the female insect really cannot have its wings removed. The old injury from a year ago has not healed yet. If it were me, I would have killed the male insect at the time."
Phaeth stood on the rock and watched Xu Cenfeng leave until he could no longer see him. Then he sat back in his original position in a daze. He remembered what Xu Cenfeng had just said, and curled the corners of his lips slightly. He didn't know what he remembered, and said casually, "Don't touch him, do you hear me?"
Phaeth put out his cigarette, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that Xu Cenfeng didn't recognize him, and teased him deliberately: "You are good-looking, follow me in the future, and I guarantee you will have good food and good drinks."
At eight o'clock in the evening, it was time for the prisoners to take a shower. Xu Cenfeng didn't want to be crowded with other prisoners, so he planned to go back to his cell and take a cold shower like he did yesterday. However, before he could even go upstairs, he was taken to an empty shower room by two prison guards.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
After the two prison guards finished speaking, they respectfully left the room and locked the outer door. It was obvious that they did not ask him to wait for a "moment", but meant to wait for a "long time".
Xu Cenfeng guessed something, so he did not resist the whole time. He raised his eyes slightly, and saw a figure in a blue prison uniform appeared on the opposite side. It was Phaes who disguised himself as "Wuya".
Faus didn't know he had been recognized yet. He slowly walked in front of Xu Cenfeng, and his deep voice sounded unusually clear in the bathroom: "Sir, we meet again."
Xu Cenfeng lowered his eyes, hiding the smile that flashed across his eyes, and pretended not to know: "Did you bring me here to fight?"
Seeing that Xu Cenfeng was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, Phaeth frowned slightly: "So what?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cenfeng suddenly attacked his neck without warning. Seeing this, Phaes was startled and quickly dodged. He wondered why Xu Cenfeng was so serious and actually wanted to fight with him. He had no choice but to fight with him in the empty bathroom.
Xu Cenfeng's moves seemed fierce, but in fact he was holding back and had no aggression. Phaeth didn't really fight him, he kept retreating and avoiding him, and finally deliberately exposed a flaw, allowing Xu Cenfeng to reverse and press him against the bathroom wall.
Phaeth panted and licked his dry lips unconsciously, thinking that this was indeed the male insect he had chosen, damn awesome: "You win, sir."
He pondered for a moment after he finished speaking, thinking about how to tell Xu Cenfeng his true identity, but his waist suddenly tightened, the hem of his clothes was lifted up, and a warm hand unexpectedly came in, and his face changed immediately.
"?!!!"
Phaeth's mind went blank for a moment. Didn't Xu Cenfeng recognize him yet? How did he hug him?!
Xu Cenfeng pressed Phaeth against the cold tile wall, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he unbuttoned the prisoner's jacket in a few seconds, revealing the female insect's sexy bronze skin. His eyes seemed to be sizing up a piece of silky chocolate, thinking about how to eat it.
Phaeth's body froze for a moment, and he said angrily: "Damn it, don't you have a female monarch?!"
Xu Cenfeng carefully examined the female insect's muscular chest and found that it felt the same as before, with almost no change. He hummed softly, "Yes, but we haven't had time to hold the wedding yet."
His voice was gentle, ringing softly in my ears, mixed with the never-ending sound of wind and snow in Blackrock Mountain, and it brought an indescribable sense of enchantment.
Upon hearing this, Phaeth felt his scalp go numb, and the itchy feeling spread from the top of his head to his whole body. Even his legs couldn't help but tremble. "Didn't you say that you like that female insect very much and will never marry another insect?!"
He was so "angry" that he even forgot to conceal his tone.
Xu Cenfeng smiled, and he threw the gray-blue prison uniform casually on the ground. He tilted his head and kissed Phaeth's earlobe, biting it lightly with his teeth, and it seemed as if he was pulling out the other person's soul as he tore it: "I said so, so I am 'liking' him."
Upon hearing this, Phaes' pupils suddenly contracted for a moment, and he turned around to look at Xu Cenfeng in surprise, only to see that the male insect was smiling at him tenderly, and it was obvious that he had recognized him a long time ago.
Phaeth finally realized that he had been tricked, and said in a stunned tone: "When did you recognize it?!"
“At first sight.”
Xu Cenfeng turned Phaeth over to face him. He reached out and touched the simulated skin on the female insect's face. He found that although it felt lifelike, it had no temperature at all. It must have been disguised in some way. "I recognized it at first sight."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Phaes's anger and humiliation. A subtle emotion filled his chest and his heart became incredibly soft.
Faus pinched Xu Cenfeng's chin with satisfaction, narrowing his narrow eyes slightly, not knowing whether he was praising him or insulting him: "You have a sharp eye... Hmm..."
Before he could finish his words, Phaeth couldn't help but groan. He put his arms around Xu Cenfeng's neck, his legs went weak, and most of his weight fell on him.
The ventilation window of the shower room was not soundproof, and they could vaguely hear the prison guards outside scolding the prisoners. The sharp whistles irritated their nerves, and even the atmosphere became invisibly tense.
Xu Cenfeng kissed Phaeth, and finally found his lips: "Don't be nervous, relax."
Phaeth took a breath with difficulty: "Fuck! I'm not nervous!"
He stayed in jail for a few days and learned to swear. That's not right, Phaes knew how to swear originally, it can only be said that his skills have improved.
Xu Cenfeng bit the tip of his tongue, and then let it go after a few seconds, always looking so gentle and polite: "Don't swear." The corners of Faus' eyes were red, but it was not obvious because of his skin color. He said in a hoarse voice: "You are not a prison guard, why do you care so much?"
The prison guards don't care about this.
Xu Cenfeng reminded: "But you are still a prisoner now."
Phaeth buried his head in Xu Cenfeng's shoulder and took a bite: "You are also a prisoner."
He thought this male insect was really stupid. Wasn't it good to stay in Horsburg and live a life of luxury? Why did he have to come to this barren prison where he couldn't eat enough or wear warm clothes? When had Xu Cenfeng ever suffered such hardship
Even when they had just met, when Xu Cenfeng was suspected of being a space pirate, Phaeth was reluctant to let him stay in jail, but sent him to a hotel to be recuperated comfortably.
Phaeth grabbed the back of Xu Cenfeng's head, his slender fingertips slowly shuttled through his dark hair, and whispered in his ear: "Why didn't you listen to me... and come here by yourself..."
Xu Cenfeng responded gently, his words drowned in the entanglement between lips and teeth, sounding a little unclear: "I want to die with you."
This is the worst possible outcome.
Rather than die in the city, it would be better for him to die with Phaes and be buried together.
Phaeth's sight gradually lost focus. He looked up at the ceiling, his sexy Adam's apple rolling up and down, and he unconsciously uttered a sentence: "But I don't want you to die..."
He didn't want Xu Cenfeng to die.
Xu Cenfeng paused after hearing this, and then marked the female insect more seriously. Those dense kisses were like a net, wrapping the two poor insects who were trapped in their own cocoons tightly. He frowned and asked, "Are you hurt?"
He noticed that Phaeus had two light pink scars on his shoulders, which had obviously healed recently.
Faus did not hide it from him and said lightly: "On the day of the garrison handover ceremony, Yenia arranged a rebel attack. There was a nail hidden deep inside. It was a subordinate who had followed me for more than ten years. When he fired, I dodged in time, but I still accidentally touched him a little."
Xu Cenfeng asked: "Then why did you come to the prison?"
Phaeth lazily leaned on his shoulder and said in a low voice, "I had originally planned to fake my death to deceive Yenia. When the rebels attacked, I found a corpse to confuse the enemy and took advantage of the chaos to hide in the prison. Now there is a small group of soldiers stationed outside searching for me."
Xu Cenfeng lowered his eyes and stroked the new wound on Phaeth's body, imagining the thrilling scene at that time: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Phaeth raised his eyelids and said, "Do you remember those subordinates who accompanied Zogdotar to the jungle to exterminate the monsters, but escaped back alone? I deliberately sent them to Black Stone Prison and replaced the original prison guards a long time ago."
Xu Cenfeng thought to himself that it was no wonder that the prison guards outside listened to what Faus said: "Then how long do you plan to stay in prison?"
Faus said nothing after hearing this. He took a deep sniff at the faint pheromone scent on Xu Cenfeng's body, narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and slowly uttered a sentence: "It won't take long, at most two days. As soon as Admiral Weather's news arrives, we will immediately set off back to Horsburg."
Xu Cenfeng controlled the range of his pheromone emission and maintained it in a small circle. When Phaes left, he was too stubborn and refused to accept Xu Cenfeng's "feeding". He felt extremely empty these days, so at this moment he could only absorb the pheromone smell from the male insect almost greedily.
Xu Cenfeng rubbed Phaeth's ear slowly, his hair brushing against his skin, his voice tender and gentle: "Have you missed me these days?"
How could Phaeth not miss it? He almost missed it so much that he uttered a word in a hoarse voice: "Yes."
Xu Cenfeng hummed, his eyes were so gentle that water could drip out of them. He turned on the shower head, poured hot water over his head, and whispered in the sound of gurgling water: "I miss you, too."
Phaeth was held up by Xu Cenfeng and pressed against the tile wall. He always felt that he would fall down. He had no choice but to hold Xu Cenfeng's head and press him tightly against his chest: "Do you really want to?"
Xu Cenfeng bit him.
Phaeth hissed, and he put his hand around Xu Cenfeng's neck, but he rarely lost his temper: "Hey, when I was in prison, I didn't even dare to take off my clothes."
Xu Cenfeng felt like he was taking credit: "Why?"
Phaeth smiled and said, "Don't think I don't know that you don't like me showing myself to other bugs."
Xu Cenfeng thought that Faers had guessed right. He looked at the female insect through the rising mist and finally decided to give her some reward, such as a deep kiss or a deep mark.
"Well, don't show it to other bugs."
Xu Cenfeng kissed him deeply and forcefully, and Phaes was breathless and almost suffocated. The root of his tongue began to ache and go numb, but the possessive words of the male insect were like poison and made him addicted.
what to do
Phaeth was vaguely thinking that Xu Cenfeng, a selfless person, seemed to have been led astray by him. It was not like the other person would say such words.
He was actually a little proud.
The pheromone was so strong that it filled Phaeth up. About half an hour later, Xu Cenfeng opened the ventilation window next to him and waited for the remaining smell to dissipate. Then he turned back and hugged the weak-legged Phaeth: "How are you going to get out like this?"
It’s a pity that there was no plug in the prison, so everything was spilling all over the floor and was washed away by the water.
Faus leaned in Xu Cenfeng's arms and took a breath with difficulty: "Wait for me for ten minutes."
He can recover in ten minutes; he has experience in this kind of thing.
Xu Cenfeng was somewhat helpless, so he had to take a dry towel beside him to wipe the water marks on Phaeth's body, and then put on a new prison uniform for him. It can only be said that a good figure is king, and Phaeth's figure is the best of the best. He looks good in military uniform and prison uniform.
Xu Cenfeng leaned over and kissed him. His hair was damp and cold. "Have you seen Hawke? He went to jail with me."
Upon hearing this, Faus raised his eyelids and looked at Xu Cenfeng, saying with cryptic meaning: "Well, I heard that there was a male insect in Horsburg who loved the deputy leader Hawke to death. Not only did he conspire with him to murder the leader, he also went to prison with him."
Xu Cenfeng: “…”
Xu Cenfeng smiled, raised his hand and brushed away the hair in front of Phaeth's eyes: "Do you believe it?"
The veins on Phaeth's forehead were throbbing. He felt that what Xu Cenfeng asked was complete nonsense. If he believed it, would he still lie down here and be marked by the other party? "I didn't recognize him."
Xu Cenfeng was stunned: "Why?"
Phaeth: "Hawk's target is bigger than you. Yenia sent a few spies to keep an eye on him to avoid trouble. That's why I didn't recognize him. Hawk only knew to meet up in prison, but he hasn't found me yet."
Xu Cenfeng: “…”
Hawke is such a sucker.
Faus and Xu Cenfeng stayed in the bathroom for a full hour before they walked to the door and knocked gently, sending out a rhythmic signal. Not long after, the prison guard guarding the door opened it.
Phaeus rested for ten minutes and barely recovered some strength. Except for some redness at the corners of his eyes, everything was normal, provided that one ignored his walking speed which was a little slower than usual.
As for whether it was to give enough face to Phaes, Xu Cenfeng pretended to be "weak" on purpose. After all, in the north, there were only examples of female insects draining male insects, but it was rare to see male insects tormenting female insects to the point where they could not get out of bed.
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and it was time for the prisoners to sleep. Faus originally wanted to move Xu Cenfeng to the same cell as himself, but Xu Cenfeng was rejected: "The single cell I live in will not be dangerous. There are only two days left, so don't expose yourself."
Faus agreed. Although the prison was full of his secret agents, it would not be good if the news leaked among the prisoners. So he sent a few prison guards to send Xu Cenfeng back to the room and made an appointment to meet at the mine tomorrow.
When Xu Cenfeng was taken away by the prison guards, some prisoners saw it, but they didn't understand what was going on. Only Feiwen guessed something about the situation.
"Wu Ya must have been eyeing him."
"Tsk, what a pretty little male insect, it's a pity that he was destroyed by such a cruel hand."
"How do you know he'll be in trouble? That male insect looks like he can fight pretty well."
"No matter how hard we fight, Wuya is still the best. Sangyado is so strong that my old injury relapsed after being beaten by him."
Just when everyone in cell number five was speculating, the prison guards happened to escort Xu Cenfeng back. Out of curiosity, Feiwen and the others couldn't help but walk to the railing to take a few glances. They saw that Xu Cenfeng's face was pale, and there was an invisible kiss and tooth mark on the collar of his prison uniform. He looked so silent that he couldn't be silent any longer. It was obvious that he had been badly abused. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Cenfeng always felt like he had a cold, probably because he didn't put on clothes in time after taking a shower. He was about to go back to his room to have a good sleep, but he accidentally found that the prisoners in cell number five were staring at him, so he nodded to them politely.
Feiwen and the others felt even more complicated.
A female insect with golden pupils watched Xu Cenfeng's departing back and said with pity, "What a polite male insect! He still remembers to greet us at this time. I really hope Wuya won't abuse him too much in the future."
Well, what a waste.
Phaeth said that it was too much trouble to recognize Hawke, but he couldn't really ignore him, after all, the operation was in the last two days. When they gathered at the mine early the next morning, he accurately found Hawke among a group of working prisoners.
At the beginning, Phaeth not only planted his subordinates among the prison guards, but also had his secret agents among the prisoners. Hawke had just arrived and had been secretly contacting those yellow-carded military criminals while looking for Phaeth's whereabouts. He was knocking on the stones while being wary of the prison guards' surveillance, and he didn't pay any attention to Phaeth at all.
Phaeth lazily sat on a rock basking in the sun. Hawke's stupidity gave him a headache. He glanced at Xu Cenfeng beside him and asked, "Are you going or am I going?"
Normally, it should have been Phaeth who went, but he was abused so badly yesterday that he was too lazy to move.
Xu Cenfeng smiled and said, "I'll go."
After he finished speaking, he jumped off the rock, walked through a group of prisoners who were working, and came straight to Hawke.
At that time, Hawke was still asking around for information, trying to find out the whereabouts of Phaeth. While working, he looked around and suddenly saw Xu Cenfeng appear in front of him. He immediately became nervous: "Sir, there are many secret guards near the prison. You'd better not get too close to me, so as not to be implicated."
Xu Cenfeng hushed him, signaling him not to alarm the prison guards: "They have all gone to lunch, who are you looking for?"
Hawke looked behind him and saw that the sentries who were watching him were all eating lunch. He frowned and hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and uttered a shocking secret: "I didn't dare to tell you before, but the leader is actually in prison."
Xu Cenfeng raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised: "Then where is he?"
Hawke shook his head solemnly. He had just been in prison for two days, so the news was still a little delayed. "I haven't found him yet. Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news!"
Xu Cenfeng was silent for a moment. He pointed at Phaeth who was sitting on a rock not far away smoking and said, "Have you seen that female insect?"
Hawke took one look and then looked away, frowning and saying with disgust: "I saw him yesterday. I heard that he is a criminal who has done all kinds of evil. You'd better stay away from him to avoid being noticed."
Xu Cenfeng: “…”
So it’s not that Phaeth didn’t want to recognize Hawke, but that the idiot Hawke didn’t recognize Phaeth at all.
