The Clet Alliance has been migrating to the north for some time, apparently intending to use this to avoid pursuit in the west. However, when they were about to reach Horsburg, they stopped instead and chose to stay in the wild and keep their troops in place.
Xu Cenfeng stood on a small snow hill, gazing at the castle standing in the snow and wind through a telescope, as if he was staring at something he had lost in his previous life. It was a long time before he finally let go.
Ah Sui was standing at the back, and inexplicably felt a hint of solemnity from Xu Cenfeng's back. He couldn't help but look into the distance, but found nothing unusual: "Brother Cenfeng, what are you looking at?"
Xu Cenfeng came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing."
He walked down the snow hill after he finished speaking. Seeing Ah Sui looking bored, he asked, "Why don't you go teach Heim and the others how to practice Kung Fu?"
It's strange to say, Asui had promised that as long as Heim and the others could persist in horse stance for five days, he would teach them kung fu. He originally thought that these spoiled male insects would definitely not be able to bear it, but he didn't expect that they actually persisted.
Asui poked the snow with his sword and found that the snow was getting thicker and thicker. "They are still practicing the basic moves. They can only teach the rest after they are proficient. Brother Cenfeng, Black Fang has been ordering the team to move north. We finally arrived at Horsburg, why don't we go in?"
Xu Cenfeng seemed to know everything: "Horsburg is the central city in the north. Pirates who enter will be wanted. Black Fang and his men stopped nearby to contact buyers in the city and sell the captured male insects at a high price. In a few days, black market buyers will contact them."
Asui subconsciously stopped what he was doing when he heard that: "Brother Cen Feng, should we find a chance to escape? I have stolen a lot of fuel from Black Fang and his men these days, which should be enough for us to fly back to the west in a starship."
Xu Cenfeng said nothing. He just reached out and patted the snow on Asui's shoulders. Seeing the thin snow foam melting on his fingertips, he whispered, "Asui, I have to wait for a friend here. I can't leave until I see him."
Ah Sui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what the doctor had said before, and asked stutteringly: "You... you are not in your period, are you?"
The north is cold and snowy all year round. The closer you move to Horsburg, the lower the temperature becomes. Even if you live in a starship, the heating is useless and it is common to be woken up by the cold while sleeping at night.
Brand had been relying on suppressant drugs to relieve his restless mental power, but they lost their effect after a short while. The erotic period of female insects usually lasts about fifteen days, so it should have been suppressed long ago. But maybe it was because he had been sleeping with Asui for a while, he was aroused by the other's pheromones, and his mental power could not be calmed down, and it just broke out again.
"Help me... Help me..."
Quick and the others were all gathered inside. Suddenly they saw Julian coming back and quickly approached him: "How's it going? Did you find the transmitter?"
Ah Sui frowned unconsciously when he heard this: "We have never been here before, how come you have friends here?"
Brand's voice was hoarse and low, with a sense of temptation.
"Help… "
Seeing this, Julian avoided the guards around him, quietly hid the detection dragonfly into his pocket, and then returned to the abandoned starship where the captives were resting.
Ah Sui couldn't help but gasp: "It hurts..."
He is most afraid of blood-sucking insects!
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the snow is white.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Asui's back stiffened with fear, because he remembered that the doctor had said that Brand would most likely become completely insect-like, and there was currently no drug that could suppress it.
Xu Cenfeng: "Wait three more days."
Asui was even a little worried that Brande would catch a cold, so he subconsciously pulled the quilt up.
Most of the buttons on Brande's clothes had already come undone. He heard Asui cry out in pain, and perhaps he regained some of his sanity, but he began to lick the wound gently with the tip of his tongue, then lowered his head and bit off the buttons on Asui's clothes one by one.
Black Fang and Carlos have been busy buying and selling male insects recently, and have been staying in the starship every day. In addition, it is freezing cold, and the guards have relaxed a lot, so they basically just sit together playing cards and drinking.
Asui was shocked when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward to help him up from the ground: "Brand? What's wrong with you?!"
The wilderness in winter always seems particularly quiet. The rugged dead branches stretch out in the cold wind, dividing the bright moon in the sky into several pieces. Occasionally, a jackdaw flaps its wings and lands, and its cries echo in the snow for a long time.
Xu Cenfeng nodded: "Well, I won't regret it."
Help? How
Asui's mind went blank, but before he could ask, Brand suddenly took off his coat under the quilt.
Brand's eyes were red, and he lay softly on Asui, his long golden hair falling down, so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He took Asui's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, and only one point of rationality remained.
Ah Sui: "Three days is too long, how about two days?"
Ah Sui blushed for some reason and subconsciously stopped him: "Don't..."
They were originally sitting on the bed, and Brand turned over and pressed Ah Sui directly under him. He lowered his head and kissed the male insect's neck with a little urgency, and his teeth suddenly became sharp, piercing the surface skin and began to suck the blood that flowed out.
"A Sui..."
Brand's mind was in a mess, and he had no way of understanding what Asui meant by that. His light blue pupils had shrunk to the point of a needle, and he looked more like a beast than a human.
Could it be that Brand is a blood-sucking worm
And that bit of rationality was of no use at this moment. It could only help Brand to identify the male insect in front of him, and the message his brain received was: it was okay to get close to him.
Ah Sui had no choice but to compromise: "We agreed on three days, so you are not allowed to regret it?"
Asui is most afraid of insects. He would be so scared that he would want to jump up a tree when he sees them.
Asui heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Brande had been urging him to leave as soon as possible during this period of time, but Xu Cenfeng seemed to have no intention of leaving. Now that he got the other party's confirmation, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground quietly.
The howling sound of the wind and snow on the hillside was too loud, and Ah Sui could not hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Xu Cenfeng didn't explain too much: "A Sui, if I don't see him within three days, I'll run away with you then, okay?"
A familiar figure was lying on the bed not far away. It was Brand. He was not sure if he was sick, his face was flushed, his breathing was disordered, and he curled up in a corner of the bed with difficulty, groaning in pain.
An out-of-season dragonfly flapped its wings in the darkness and quietly landed on the gravel in the snow. Its translucent wings trembled continuously, flashing a metallic color, but it did not attract the attention of any insect.
Brand's body temperature was surprisingly hot. He held onto Asui's fingertips, and perhaps out of shame, he covered Asui's eyes with his other hand and whispered four words: "It will be fine soon..."
Brand rubbed Asui impatiently, his voice filled with low pleading, not knowing how to end this painful torture.
Asui couldn't wait to tell Brand the good news, so he ran back to the starship. As soon as he entered the door, he accidentally stepped on something and cracked it. There was a crisp "crack" sound under his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a needle for injection.
Brand felt Asui approaching, buried his head in his neck and took a deep breath. Reason made him push the male insect away, but his body couldn't help but stick to it. Brand tightly wrapped his arms around Asui's neck and began to talk nonsense: "Asui... I feel so uncomfortable..."
Asui was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the ground and found that there were not only syringes scattered around, but also various pieces of pills, and even the medicine box was knocked over.
Xu Cenfeng was always easy to talk to, but he was quite persistent in this matter. He raised his hand and pulled down the brim of his hat, and whispered something that Asui couldn't understand: "Asui, don't try to change your fate, otherwise you may encounter many new things, but you may also miss many destined things."
Julian signaled them to keep quiet. After closing the starship hatch, he took out the detection dragonfly from his pocket and placed it on the ground. He said in a deep voice, "The headquarters has released the detection dragonfly. The main force should be not far from here."
Quick urged, "Hurry up and see what news Major General Axe has sent over."
Julian took out a miniature signal device from between his teeth, opened the dragonfly's abdomen and stuffed it in. Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the dragonfly's eyes, and a virtual light screen was projected in the air, with a short instruction on it:
[The army has reached the Black Rock Mountains. The signal has been lost and the coordinates of the pirates cannot be detected. If there is any news, please report it back to the headquarters immediately. We urgently need information on the new leader and also look for the whereabouts of Major General Brand.]
Quick was shocked when he saw this: "We haven't had time to send a message back yet. How did Major General Ax know that the Clayt Alliance has a new leader?"
Julian frowned and said, "Half a month ago, the Black Hawk Alliance and the Clet Alliance had a fight in the suburbs. The news must have leaked out accidentally at that time."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. "What should we do? Should we send the leader's information back?" Julian raised his hand and untied the metal necklace around his neck. There was a small black square at the end. Because it looked worthless, the pirates didn't take it away. "Even if we don't send the information back, the military has other ways to get the news. Let's send it. We haven't contacted the headquarters for fifteen days. If this continues, we will be mistaken for traitors. Take out all the terminal assemblies on you."
Upon hearing this, Quick and the others had no choice but to dig out some small pieces of assembly parts from their bodies. They hid some under their insoles, and some in the interlayers of their clothes. When assembled together, it became a miniature terminal.
Julian first edited the identities of all the pirate leaders in the Clete Alliance. When it was Asui's turn, he hesitated for a moment before uploading the facial information he had secretly photographed with a miniature camera during training.
"etc!"
Quick suddenly intervened and said, "This photo of yours doesn't look good, Chief. Let's change to another one."
He quickly clicked the screen and uploaded another photo. Then he smiled and retracted his hand, explaining to Julian, "This one looks better."
The photo was blurry, and at most one could make out black hair and black eyes. If he were wanted in the future, it would be convenient for him to disguise himself and escape.
Julian looked away expressionlessly, pretending he didn't know what he was thinking, and continued to edit Asui's identity information:
[Name: Asui.]
Gender: Male.
Age: 22 years old.
Criminal record: He served as the new leader of the Clete Alliance a month and a half ago and participated in a gunfight in the suburbs of the Black Hawk Alliance. The rest of his criminal history is unknown and he does not appear on the Empire's wanted list.
Features: Skills comparable to those of an S-class female insect, good at using a long sword, no smoking, no drinking, no gambling, no bad habits, kind and cheerful personality, very compassionate...]
Julian was typing when he suddenly felt that the content was a little strange, and quickly deleted the characteristics column again. Damn it, this is a crime record, not a commendation meeting, what on earth is he writing!
Quick lowered his head and sighed, unable to bear to watch: "The great leader is so pitiful, he was taken down by the military after only taking office for a month and a half."
The other female soldiers had similar thoughts and nodded in agreement when they heard this: It was indeed tragic.
Julian met their sighing gazes with a frown on his face. Perhaps he was annoyed by Quick's chattering, so he threw the terminal into his hands and said, "You edit it!"
"I'll do it if I want!"
Quick didn't refuse at all. He took the terminal and edited Asui's identity information in a snap. When it was Brand's turn, he hesitated for a moment: "What about Major General Brand?"
They are not blind. Brandt eats and lives with the chief all day long, and it is said that they even sleep in the same bed. It is hard for something not to happen for them to be alone.
Their identities are very different and they are enemies. If the news gets back to the military, Major General Brand will probably be punished.
Julian said, "Just write that Major General Brand is safe now, don't say anything else."
Quick responded, but also felt it was better not to say anything.
Julian was worried that other pirates might notice the clues, so he immediately disassembled the terminal after editing the message. He stuffed the chip into the dragonfly's abdomen and originally wanted to release it overnight, but he was worried that the darkness would affect his vision, so he simply put it in his pocket and planned to find another opportunity tomorrow.
Quick walked to the porthole and looked out, muttering to himself, "I wonder what the chief is doing..."
What is the Big Chief doing
Ah Sui didn't know what he was doing. He sat blankly on the chair outside the bathroom, staring at his white fingertips in a daze. Although he had washed them clean, the burning touch still remained on them, making him feel embarrassed and helpless.
Brand was taking a shower in the bathroom and hadn't come out for half an hour. He closed his eyes and leaned against the bathroom wall, letting the cold water soak his whole body, so that his chaotic brain could regain some clarity, but the blush on his face would not fade away.
Brand was unwilling to believe that he had done what he had just done. This went against the aristocratic education he had received in the past twenty years, and also went against the rule that female insects must be reserved and chaste.
Is the power of the faqian period really so great that it can make him, who usually behaves properly, break his rules again and again? He has never experienced such a loss of control during his faqian period before...
Brand took a cold shower for half a day. Finally, he dried his body with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Unexpectedly, Asui was sitting at the door waiting for him. His steps suddenly froze.
Brand had been in such a hurry to get in that he had no time to get his clothes, so he simply wrapped his lower body with a towel. When he saw Ah Sui sitting outside, he subconsciously stepped back and closed the bathroom door, which made a loud "bang".
"… "
Brand's mind went blank. He thought he must be stupid. There were no clothes in the bathroom, so why was he hiding in there
What to do? Go out again
But Asui seemed not to have left yet.
Just when Brand was hesitant, there was a slight knock on the door, but the other party did not speak. Brand opened the bathroom door a little, and saw Asui handing in a set of clean clothes.
Brand: “…”
Brand reached out to take the clothes and whispered "thank you". The hand retracted again, and after a moment a voice rang out: "You're welcome."
They both didn't know what to say.
Brande put on his clothes and calmed down before walking out of the bathroom. At that time, Asui was standing at the door waiting. When he saw Brande coming out, his ears suddenly turned red and his eyes looked away.
Brand was a little worried that Asui would hate him, after all, it was too much for a female insect to do that. He hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped in front of the male insect and called out to him softly, "Asui?"
Ah Sui finally looked at him, her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably: "Hmm?"
Brand had just taken a cold shower, and his breath was also cold. He stared at Ah Sui with his light blue eyes, and finally held the other's hand that looked a little uncomfortable, and asked seriously: "Do you hate what happened just now?"
He was referring to the act of helping each other.
Asui's memories that had just calmed down came flooding back to him. He remembered Brand's skin turning pink, gasping for breath in his arms: "No..."
Ah Sui adjusted his posture awkwardly, blushing and shaking his head: "I don't hate it..."
It just feels a little weird.
Brand was close to him and soon noticed that something was wrong with Asui. He glanced at the other person's body calmly and understood something instantly. The originally fair skin was covered with a layer of pink, making it look extremely beautiful.
Asui wondered why Brande was so pink all over. He raised his hand and touched his wet hair, and found that it was a little colder than before. He asked hesitantly, "Did you take a cold shower?"
Brand nodded.
Ah Sui couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Let me help you blow dry your hair, so you don't catch a cold."
He moved his feet slightly after he finished speaking, trying to find a hair dryer, but was suddenly pulled back by Brand and pressed against the wall. Brand clung to Asui tightly, his chest rising and falling. After a moment, he suddenly looked at the male insect with red eyes and whispered, "Can I help you?"
I'll help you.
Brandt really thought so.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and buried his face in Asui's neck, tentatively licking the red and swollen wound on the other's neck. At the same time, his right hand reached down, but the next second, a strong force suddenly came from his waist, and the male insect hugged him tightly in his arms.
Asui didn't know what he was doing, he just felt his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat. His hands, which had been calloused from years of sword practice, quietly slipped under Brand's pajamas and rubbed his shoulder blade for a moment, vaguely remembering that was where the female insect grew its wings.
Asui turned around and pressed Brand against the bulkhead. Both of their faces were red. He whispered, "Can you show me your wings?"
He hugged Brande's cold body tenderly, and his tentative request was so shy and timid that Chong couldn't bear to refuse.
