Asui likes shiny things, but he is not necessarily obsessed with Brand's wings. He even thinks that the female insect's blushing face just now is more attractive to him, but the other party always hides it like a treasure and doesn't show it to him.
The more Brand hid, the more he wanted to see.
Ah Sui asked again in a low voice, his voice innocent and bewitching without knowing it: "Can you let me see it?"
His fingertips were covered with calluses, and he gently rubbed Brand's shoulder blades for a moment, causing a slight itch. The female insect's body couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and a pair of translucent wings quietly grew behind her, drooping down powerlessly, seemingly without any attack power.
Seeing this, Asui reached out and touched the edge of the wing. Brand quickly stopped him: "Don't!"
However, it was too late. The seemingly soft edge of the wing was actually extremely sharp. Asui's fingertips instantly cut a gash, and a trickle of bright red blood slowly overflowed from the wound, looking extremely glaring.
Ah Sui exclaimed: "Your wings are so powerful, more powerful than my sword."
Brand frowned upon seeing this. He held Asui's hand and brought it to his lips. He lowered his head and sucked the blood off the other's fingertips. When they separated, there was a thin trace of red blood on his lips. He whispered a reminder: "The wings of the military female will become weapons on the battlefield. Don't touch them casually, otherwise you will get hurt."
The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is. The wings of the southern female insect can not only easily cut the enemy's throat, but can even release toxins when necessary. There are few medicines that can cure it, and the person will die instantly.
Ah Sui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Then is your wing missing a piece?"
Brand: “Really.”
Ah Sui was a little happy, but also a little helpless: "Will it hurt you?"
As long as the wings of the female insects are not seriously damaged, they will recover after a period of time. Southern female insects cherish their wings more than their lives and will never show them to others easily, let alone give away the fragments.
Brand reached behind himself, a white light flashed, and the pair of wings suddenly retracted. At the same time, a piece of glittering wing fragment appeared in the palm of his hand, which was translucent and as fragile as a snowflake, but felt extremely hard to the touch.
Ah Sui nodded quietly. Where Brande couldn't see, his eyes smiled into a crescent moon, bright and gentle: "I like your... wings."
As Sui retracted his hand obediently after hearing this. He lowered his head dejectedly and buried his face in Brande's shoulder. His voice sounded a little depressed: "I will never touch you again."
Asui likes to breathe heavily when he speaks. When Brand heard the first four words, his heart suddenly tightened for a moment, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he heard the last three words. But at the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Asui: "Don't you regret it?"
Ah Sui suddenly let go of him after hearing that, and turned around like a hamster. Finally, he lay on the seat and turned over for a long time, but he found his sword. He handed it to Brand happily and said, "You gave me wings, so I'll give you my sword!"
Brand gently touched his fingertips. The wound was very shallow and could hardly be seen. "No this time, but if you touch me again next time, I may not be sure."
Asui was so poor that he had no money at all. This sword was the most valuable thing he had. He felt that since Brande had given him such a precious thing, he must give something in return.
Brand thought that this male insect was acting stupid again. He had been whipped so many times before, so why would he care about such a small wound? "It doesn't hurt."
I don't know if Brand was trying to scare Asui on purpose. He paused and added, "My wings are poisonous. If you are poisoned, I can't save you."
Brand knew how much Asui treasured this sword. He even wanted to hold it in his arms when he went to sleep at night. He was stunned when he heard this. He quickly held his hand and frowned and whispered, "Are you stupid? I'm just giving you a piece of it. How can you give me your weapon for self-defense?"
Brand laughed dumbly: "No regrets."
Brand just wanted Ah Sui to stop touching her, but he didn't really stop him from touching her. He was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you... really like my wings?"
Brand shook his head: "No, the small wounds on the wings can heal on their own."
Brand held Asui's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally placed the wing gently on his palm: "I give it to you."
Ah Sui was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at his cut fingertips: "Ah? Am I poisoned?"
Asui: "So you really gave it to me?"
Ah Sui said, "It doesn't matter if I give it to you."
He lowered his head to look at the half wing in his palm, then looked at the long sword in his left hand: "You like your wings the most, and I like my long sword the most. They are the same, so you don't have to feel embarrassed."
Asui cherished his sword, and he also cherished Brande's wings. After he finished speaking, he handed his sword to Brande and said, "I give it to you. Take it."
When someone generously presents you with their most precious thing, it would be a lie for Brand to say he is not touched. His fingertips moved slightly, and he finally couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Asui's face. The touch was soft and delicate, much like cotton candy: "Didn't you give me a sword tassel before? I like that sword tassel very much. You don't have to give me another one."
Asui believed it and blinked: "Really?"
Brand nodded: "Yeah, really."
They were so close that their chests were filled with joy and even the air smelled sweet. Asui seemed to smell the fragrance of Brande and couldn't help lowering his head to smell his neck: "You smell so good."
That's the smell of a female insect when it's budding...
Asui didn't know if he was affected, he rubbed Brande's neck unconsciously: "I... feel a little uncomfortable..."
Brand noticed something was wrong with Asui, and his face felt a little hot. He gently pressed his hand against Asui's forehead, his eyelashes almost touching his skin. He finally remembered what he had just done, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Come in, I'll help you..."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Asui into the bathroom they had just been in. The long sword in Asui's hand fell to the ground with a clang and was left alone in the corridor.
Asui didn't know what Brand was doing. His back was pressed against the tile wall. He felt like he was possessed. He couldn't help hugging the blonde beauty tightly in his arms. He blushed and whispered, "Can I hug you?"
Brandt acquiesced silently.
So Asui tightened his strength a little more, his eyes were gentle and ignorant, and he even learned it by lowering his head to kiss Brande's neck quietly, leaving one light kiss after another.
Brande lay in Asui's arms, his voice a little hoarse. He wiped his fingers with a towel, his light blue eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of water, flashing with emotions that he himself was not aware of, his chest heaving as he said: "Asui, don't tell anyone about what happened today, understand?"
Ah Sui didn't understand, but nodded obediently: "Okay."
His voice also became hoarse.
Asui's eyes fell on Brand's rosy lips, as if he wanted to do something, but he hesitated to move. Finally, Brand noticed Asui's intention, blushed and took the initiative to kiss him, and they exchanged a naive kiss: "Don't let other female insects do this to you, understand?" The moment they kissed, it seemed like fireworks exploded in their hearts, and then that heart became full, no longer able to accommodate anything else, and was quietly eroded by something called possessiveness.
Ah Sui nodded obediently, and used his fingertips to quietly twist the golden hair on Brande's shoulders, hiding a little thought that only he knew: "Then don't let other male insects hug you, okay?"
Brande leaned over and kissed Asui's ear, his lips were soft and slightly cool, and he whispered three words: "Only you."
Only Asui.
The young master of the South has always been chaste and has never been hugged like this by any male insect.
The wind stopped and the snow stopped, and a new night passed.
The first person to get up in the camp is always the fat cook who is in charge of logistics. He is responsible for cooking, and he has several assistants to help cut vegetables and make fire. Everything is done in an orderly manner.
Xu Cenfeng hadn't slept much for several nights. He was sitting by the fire in the morning, and suddenly saw Ah Sui coming out of the starship holding a sword. He was obviously in a good mood. He looked around and finally walked towards Xu Cenfeng: "Brother Cenfeng!"
Xu Cenfeng paused while warming himself by the fire: "Why did you come out?"
Ah Sui sat down next to him and was a little confused when he heard this: "I always come out at this time, and today I'm half an hour late."
Xu Cenfeng asked casually: "Why are you half an hour late?"
Asui gets up every morning to practice martial arts without fail, and has not changed for more than ten years. It is inevitable that people would find it strange that he is suddenly late for one day.
Ah Sui hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said with a vague look in his eyes: "I overslept."
Xu Cenfeng suddenly noticed that Ah Sui's face turned red when he spoke, and then he realized that he shouldn't have asked this question just now. He was about to change the subject, but Ah Sui, who was lying, couldn't resist the condemnation of his conscience, and hesitantly came up to explain: "Brother Cenfeng, I didn't oversleep, it's just..."
Xu Cenfeng: "Don't say it."
Asui: "I just..."
Xu Cenfeng: "Don't say a word."
Asui: "I..."
Xu Cenfeng: "I don't want to listen."
After Xu Cenfeng finished speaking, he simply stopped lighting the fire, stood up and left the fire, turned around and returned to his starship, leaving Asui sitting there in a daze.
"… "
Asui originally wanted to share his joy with Xu Cenfeng, but the other party was unwilling to listen. He had to pat his butt and get up to go back for dinner. As a result, he saw a team suddenly appear on the mountain road not far away. They were Heiya who went into the city to contact the buyer but ended up with a cold shoulder.
“Damn it!”
Black Fang cursed every day. When he returned to the camp, he kicked over the fire, scaring the pirates around him. The second leader, Carlos, happened to come out of the starship. Seeing this, he frowned and asked, "Didn't you go to the city to contact the buyer last night? What's wrong? The price is not suitable?"
Hearing this, Black Fang spit fiercely on the ground: "Bah! You don't know that the Black Hawk Alliance is also planning to do business in Horsburg. Their previous ambush in the wild was simply to delay us! They arrived at Horsburg five days ago and contacted all the buyers, leaving us nothing but soup!"
Carlos was shocked when he heard this: "What about other buyers? Can't they contact any business?"
Black Fang cursed his bad luck: "The rest are just a bunch of poor bastards. They want to buy a male insect for 100,000 star coins. I won't do business at a loss!"
Hearing that their interests were being affected, Carlos's eyes suddenly darkened. Even the other small leaders gathered around in surprise: "What?! One hundred thousand star coins for a male insect? Our starting price was at least five hundred thousand before. One hundred thousand star coins is not even enough for the gas money for our round trip between the west and the north!"
"The Black Hawk Alliance is a bunch of stinky bugs! We must teach them a lesson!"
"If we don't fight back, he'll think we're easy to bully! Second Chief, give me a clear answer, when will we start?"
Carlos thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Asui who was not far away and said maliciously: "What can I say for sure? In war, of course we have to follow the orders of the great leader. We will do whatever the great leader tells us to do."
Carlos has been much more obedient since he was beaten up by Asui last time, but it is obvious that he can't really be obedient. He just temporarily succumbs to Asui's force.
Going to war with the Black Hawk Alliance could be a big deal or a small one. Winning would be good, but if they lose, Asui will completely lose the morale of the army, and Carlos and Black Fang will find a reason to pull him down from the position of leader.
Asui knew at a glance that Carlos had ill intentions. He saw that the other leaders, both big and small, were looking at him, but he did not show any fear on his face. He casually made a sword flower and said, "I will go back and discuss this matter with the military advisor, and I will give you an answer tonight."
Seeing that he was not fooled, Carlos asked, "Captain, should I send my men to find out the news about the Black Hawk Alliance?"
Asui looked at him suspiciously: "Last time, you were absolutely unwilling to fight the Black Hawk Alliance, and you just turned around and ran away in your starship. Why are you willing to do it this time?"
His tone was curious, as if he was just asking casually, but he revealed Carlos's past, making him blush and even the other small leaders couldn't help laughing.
It was Black Fang who spoke up to smooth things over at the critical moment, saying in a rough voice: "Captain, we were not prepared last time, but now we have recovered. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. As long as we seize the initiative, we will definitely defeat the Black Hawk Alliance!"
Ah Sui said the same thing: "You guys go get the information first, I'll discuss it with the military advisor and then give you an answer."
Quick and his friends were originally training nearby, but they suddenly heard the conversation between Asui and Heiya and the others, and unconsciously slowed down their movements.
Like the Black Hawk Alliance and the Clet Alliance, they are both targets that have been a headache for the military for a long time. If they can be allowed to fight each other, not only will they be able to rescue the male insects that are being bought and sold, but they can also reap the benefits. It is truly a godsend opportunity.
Julian exchanged glances with Quick calmly and said, "Don't release the dragonfly yet. Observe the pirates' movements. If a war is confirmed, then pass the news along."
Quick was worried that this matter would not succeed, so he hesitated and said, "The military advisor is a gentle and refined man, and he doesn't like fighting. If the chief talks to him, he probably won't agree to go to war, right?"
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Asui, but saw that he did not go to find Xu Cenfeng, but turned around and got into the starship where Brand was. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Why didn't the chief go to find the military advisor?"
Julian pointedly said, "Don't you know? The chief has already replaced his military advisor."
