Chapter 41: Liking Obedience
Xu Xunyue felt that this was the first time he had seen such ears.
Cataclysmic creatures all looked strange and ugly, and the cataclysmic beings that were somewhat similar to humans were covered in a layer of black mist. In short, none of them could possibly look like the human before him.
He could clearly sense that the human before him was the only human in his domain.
So he definitely hadn’t seen such ears anywhere else before.
But why did he feel that this scene was familiar?
Fluffy ears that could turn into airplane ears.
A cool and refreshing scent of ice and snow.
He didn’t know why, but he had liked it as soon as he saw it.
Xu Xunyue lifted the fluffy tail in his other hand, and the Sentinel let out a muffled gasp, the back of his neck flushed red.
He seemed a little weak. He barely managed to keep his legs together, looking obedient and at his mercy. The tips of his ears trembled uncontrollably, revealing his inner shyness.
Like a tender leaf stirred by the wind, with a touch, it would even seep out juice from its stem.
A little cute.
In the human world, he should be a powerful Sentinel. Otherwise, why was he the only human here?
When Xu Xunyue was waiting for him in the shallow sea, he had sensed the other fighting near the place where he had “awakened.” Those cataclysmic creatures that he had just subdued and that were fleeing in all directions were very restless. Taking advantage of the new master’s inattention, they had attacked this rapidly approaching Sentinel.
Xu Xunyue’s spiritual power was enough to cover this area, so he had quickly noticed the situation over there and discovered the first “chaotic incident” within his domain.
This Sentinel was indeed very good at fighting.
In just a short while, he had killed several cataclysmic beings of considerable strength. Their bodies were torn apart, and their brains were splattered all over the ground.
If he hadn’t found his speed too slow and used his spiritual power to command those attacking cataclysmic creatures to get lost, he probably could have fought his way over and created a second road paved with bodies on the snowfield.
But in front of him, he seemed very fragile.
A cataclysmic being wouldn’t cry even if it was torn apart, but he had cried so hard after being punished a little.
But since he had come here and become his property, everything from the past had to be thrown away.
If he was always obedient, he would take good care of him.
Xu Xunyue stroked the Sentinel’s constantly trembling Adam’s apple. After a while, he spread his five fingers and gripped the slender neck under his palm.
The skin, washed by the seawater, was a little slippery. The carotid artery, caressed by his thumb, throbbed obviously. After he tightened his grip slightly, the throbbing and breathing became even more intense.
A life was thus held in his palm.
With a gentle twist, it would break and disappear from the world.
He’s really fragile, Xu Xunyue thought.
But he was very obedient at this time, not struggling, not resisting, not moving at all, just handing over his unprotected neck to him.
Xu Xunyue’s mood brightened.
Yes, he liked obedient Sentinels, creations that actively handed over their weaknesses and soft spots.
So he lifted his fingertip and pushed the Sentinel’s head toward him.
The Sentinel turned his head and looked over with a red face, his eyes filled with a shame and trust that the normal Xu Xunyue would have recognized at a glance.
The not-so-normal Xu Xunyue leaned closer, somewhat confused.
He’s looking at me like this. Does he want something?
I’m doing this to him. Do I want to do something?
I don’t understand.
He glanced at the Sentinel’s moist lips. They were red and swollen, and the Sentinel had bitten the skin, making them look miserable and pitiful.
At this moment, they were slightly parted, eagerly gasping for air.
It was here that he had been making those cute sounds that satisfied him just now.
If he were to touch them himself, what kind of sound would he get?
Xu Xunyue moved a little closer.
First, he touched the tip of the Sentinel’s nose, then those lips that were opening to breathe in the air.
They smelled cool and refreshing, but they were soft and hot in his mouth.
Xu Xunyue briefly pulled away, tilted his head to savor the taste for a while, then gently pinched the Sentinel’s neck and pulled him a little closer into his arms.
Let’s try again.
Mmm.
His tongue was very sensitive and would move around.
His teeth were very sharp and wouldn’t move around.
So at this time, he would make cute whimpers and gasps. His face was even redder, as if he couldn’t stand even being touched on the lips.
I like this feeling.
His creation was as if it were tailor-made for him. Everything about it was to his liking.
At this moment, Xu Xunyue almost forgot his desire to explore the deep sea, forgot that primitive and instinctive call, and just wanted to stay in his spiritual world and slowly and carefully explore this Sentinel in his arms.
As if it knew its master’s mood, the waves became gentle, and the dark deep sea also gained a few more threads of light. Although the surroundings were still empty and endless, it was no longer so deathly still and would not make those who entered feel desperate.
In the brighter environment, the shadows that had merged with the darkness revealed their forms.
When there was no light, they were not seen.
Now that there was light, they seemed to be everywhere.
The entire deep sea was filled with black shadows, appearing and disappearing, gathering and dispersing.
They were also hiding in the small vortex under Zhu Hui’s feet, very curious about this human, especially that fluffy wolf tail, which seemed very fun to pull.
But that tail had been held in Xu Xunyue’s hand all along.
[Is this a wolf?]
[This is a wolf?]
[It doesn’t seem like it.]
[It seems to be just a tail.]
[Why is there only a tail?]
[Where did the wolf go?]
[Where did it go?]
[Hey, don’t just play with him. Make him turn into a wolf for us to play with.]
[Yes, for us to play with.]
[Play with.]
[Play with.]
Xu Xunyue ignored them.
A human’s spiritual body and this state of a human clearly could not coexist.
If he had to choose one, he certainly wouldn’t let the Sentinel turn his tail back at a time like this.
He had to admit, holding the tail in his hand was really too convenient.
As the atmosphere became relaxed and natural, the ocean current slowly brushed past, bringing with it a string of large and small, crystal-clear bubbles.
These bubbles were very strange. Some were empty, while others contained something.
They were beautiful leaves of various shapes.
Xu Xunyue didn’t even know that such bubbles existed in his spiritual world. His gaze lingered on the bubbles for a little longer.
Noticing his pause, the Sentinel in his arms also turned his head to look.
With this look, his two hands, which were hugging Xu Xunyue’s waist, tightened.
Zhu Hui hadn’t expected to see the memory leaves he had given away here.
Things that came out of his spiritual landscape could naturally be placed in another spiritual landscape.
He was very familiar with the leaves produced by his spiritual landscape. They all carried his past. He remembered the details, colors, and outlines of each leaf, and which memory each leaf corresponded to.
So, he could also recognize the leaves before him.
Weren’t these the ones he had given away at the White Tower gate, before he boarded the Sentinel Academy’s aircraft?
He had thought his brother would put them in his pocket… well, he had given him a lot of leaves that time, so it really wasn’t suitable for his pocket, but his brother had actually put them in his spiritual landscape.
This meant that his brother cherished his memory leaves very much.
Could this be considered a kind of indirect spiritual fusion?
During a Level Three Bonding, a Sentinel would naturally fuse spiritually with a Guide. It was said that that experience was very magical, one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.
Right, brother didn’t choose to have a Level Three Bonding with me.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hui felt a little dejected again. He stopped his thoughts and told himself that seducing his brother was to solve the bonding heat that had to be solved. What he thought was his business, and what his brother chose was his brother’s business…
But did the seduction actually fail?
Alright, I still feel very frustrated.
But brother kissed me just now.
He kissed me even in this state. Brother must like me. It’s not like my body is unattractive to him.
Just as Zhu Hui was about to start brainstorming, he suddenly heard Xu Xunyue say:
“These leaves—”
Zhu Hui’s attention was instantly diverted.
Looking at Xu Xunyue’s contemplative expression, and then at those golden eyes with a naturally cold aura, he asked tentatively:
“What’s wrong with these leaves?”
Was he touched, and remembered something?
Xu Xunyue frowned slightly, and the hand that wasn’t holding Zhu Hui’s tail reached into his jacket pocket and took out a small frame.
“There’s another one here.”
A leaf that had been made into a specimen and framed.
“They seem to be from the same source? When I woke up, this leaf was in my pocket.”
Xu Xunyue didn’t expect this Sentinel to give him an answer. He was just voicing his own confusion.
He was confused about where he had gotten so many beautiful leaves. The area he ruled was clearly a snowfield and an ocean. He hadn’t seen any trees nearby since he woke up.
Speaking of which, did he have more leaves than these?
An image suddenly flashed in his mind.
Under a dim yellow light, he was clipping a leaf bookmark into a book, closing the book, and looking at the person beside him.
How could such an image exist?
He had been here ever since he woke up.
A slight stabbing pain came from his brain, and the call of the deep sea became stronger. Xu Xunyue remembered what he was originally going to do.
That’s right, he was going to explore that sea. It seemed like there was something hidden under that sea, something that had a strong attraction for him.
He had only spent so much time in the shallow sea to wait for this Sentinel.
He looked at the Sentinel in his arms and decided to take this Sentinel with him.
With a thought, the two of them left the deep sea of the spiritual world and returned to the shallow sea of the real world.
Xu Xunyue pulled the Sentinel and prepared to head toward their destination.
“Wait, brother,” the Sentinel seemed a little panicked. “Brother, are you taking me down with you?”
“You don’t want to go with me?” Xu Xunyue paused, a flash of displeasure in his golden eyes, the shadows stirring restlessly in the dark. “You want to leave?”
“No, I don’t have that thought, but brother…”
Zhu Hui pursed his lips, took several deep breaths, and finally broke through his psychological defense, saying in a low voice:
“Brother, my clothes…”
He didn’t have a scrap of cloth on him.
When he was being intimate with his brother, this was of course fine. His brother even liked to take off his clothes while he himself was fully dressed.
But at normal times, Zhu Hui still hoped to have clothes on. He had lived in a civilized society for so many years. Even when he was in a sorry state in a cataclysm zone, he was still wearing clothes.
“There are only cataclysmic creatures here, no other humans,” Xu Xunyue said, indicating that it was completely unnecessary, although the clothes were indeed still there. “No one will see, only me.”
“No… brother, I’m begging you, brother.”
Zhu Hui actually didn’t know why he had no clothes in both the spiritual world and the real world, nor did he know where his real-world clothes, gun, magazine, and dagger had gone.
But he remembered what his brother had said when he was first coaxing him. His brother had said, “Everything is here,” so he felt that he could fight for it.
If his real-world clothes had also turned to fragments, he couldn’t possibly make things difficult for his brother and have him get him a set of clothes in the middle of nowhere.
Besides, he had pictures in his clothes. If he found an excuse to show them to his brother, it might have some effect.
He looked at Xu Xunyue pitifully, and his fluffy tail brushed against the other’s wrist in a pleasing way.
“Brother, I really need… please, I’ll follow you always.”
Xu Xunyue frowned.
This Sentinel, his demands were getting more and more.
Raising a Sentinel is so troublesome.
“On the shore,” he pulled Zhu Hui and swam toward the shore. “But you’re not allowed to go ashore to put them on.”
