Chapter 103: The Very, Very Good Dog
Mo Lfei followed He Yue home, the white shirt under his suit stained with blood. He looked dazed, his walk unsteady.
Wien, opening the door, saw Mo Lfei and the hand he was about to extend to greet him froze in mid-air.
It was already very late, and this male insect had followed his Master home, as naturally as if it were his own.
Wien’s radar, familiar with the insects around He Yue, went off, and he stared warily at the suited Mo Lfei.
“Go wait in the studio.” He Yue patted Mo Lfei’s back.
Wien’s gaze followed Mo Lfei upstairs, watching him disappear with an awkward gait.
The insects in He Yue’s house all knew what the studio was for, and no matter how foolish Wien was, he wouldn’t think that Mo Lfei was going to the studio with his Master to discuss painting techniques at this late hour.
He looked crestfallen, carefully observing He Yue’s expression, trying to decide whether to be obedient and ignore it, or to be jealous and complain.
He Yue seemed to be in a good mood.
“Master, is that male insect staying here tonight?” The sensible little dog chose to be obedient and ignore it.
A male insect’s physique was not as good as a female insect’s, and the rope on Mo Lfei’s body must have left him covered in wounds. Coupled with the punishment He Yue had given him for losing control, this insect probably wouldn’t be able to leave the villa tonight.
He Yue nodded.
Wien’s anxious heart finally sank. He lowered his eyes, his dejection evident, and muttered, “Then I’ll go to the guest room.”
The more obedient this insect was, the more his Master’s attention he needed. He Yue had already guessed Wien’s thought process and said, “You’re not going to search for some female-to-male insect surgery, are you?”
Wien, who had just turned to clean, froze, a thin layer of sweat forming on his back, his guilty eyes darting around.
“I… I’m not, female-to-male insect modification is illegal, and it can’t be done.” Wien tried to make He Yue believe he wouldn’t do anything wrong.
He Yue leaned against the stairs, his silent gaze making the little dog flustered.
“I, I was wrong…” Wien immediately dropped all his defenses, his head lowered in a pitiful way.
If He Yue didn’t say anything more, he would probably kneel before him on the spot.
He Yue chuckled softly, his serious expression gone, and he went over and patted the little dog’s head. “You secretly conducted a gene modification experiment, and that’s legal?”
The guilty little dog lowered his head and said a few more “I’m sorry, Master.”
“Don’t think about it, you are the most unique accompanying female insect.”
Wien was coaxed by his Master’s a few words, and his jealous mood instantly dissipated. He happily went to make the bed in the guest room, his invisible dog tail wagging to the heavens.
He Yue was very good at handling this big golden retriever’s heart. As long as he repeatedly acknowledged Wien’s status as an accompanying female insect, Wien would hold onto this unique genetic imprint and be a loyal dog.
Very, very easy to coax.
In the studio, his brother, who knew he had made a mistake, was kneeling properly in the middle, carefully listening to the sounds outside the studio door.
He had been kneeling for a long time, and the fact that they had the same grassy male insect pheromones lingered in his mind.
Compared to not getting He Yue’s approval, Mo Lfei was more worried that his stolen conquest target identity would disappear. This sense of crisis had once surpassed his reason, and he wanted to completely eliminate the potential threat.
He wanted to kill that intruding insect, to make the real fifth conquest target disappear completely.
Mo Lfei clenched his fists, his crazed killing intent raging through his reason.
He had poured everything into this opportunity, abandoning his original life and transmigrating to this other world, just to be his beloved’s dog.
The sound of the door opening broke the silence of the studio, making Mo Lfei jolt. His knees scraped against the hard floor, and he winced in pain.
The sound of footsteps came from far to near, finally stopping in front of Mo Lfei. He maintained the standard etiquette prescribed by the Castle like a prisoner, his vision only able to see the front of He Yue’s leather shoes.
The rope on his body had all left wounds, the severe parts bleeding.
He Yue held the enforcer’s whip, the tightly woven leather soaked in high-quality oil, reflecting the light in the studio.
He Yue had used it once before as an enforcer at the Castle, punishing his brother in front of everyone, sending him to the hospital. This time, He Yue was also holding this whip, also to inflict punishment, but he was no longer the enforcer of the Castle, but his brother’s master.
“Brother, do you know where you went wrong?”
He Yue, with his loose hair, wore black leather gloves, and the bent whip gently tapped his palm, rubbing the full oil on his gloves.
The matte black leather gloves also became shiny.
“I know… I shouldn’t have, sought a private grudge…” This He Yue was as cruel and sexy as a cold-blooded animal, and Mo Lfei, just with a glance, his throat became uncontrollably dry.
He Yue’s condescending, inferior gaze could make his brother uncontrollably call him master.
“Hiss…” The restrained erection honestly reacted to everything before him, and was severely punished by the restraining strap.
Mo Lfei lowered his head, no longer daring to look at his master.
It was like this… he was like those submissive receivers he knew, and just a slight glance from his master could make him lose control.
Moreover, this master was the He Yue he had loved so carefully for so long.
“As an enforcer, you should be just and upright.” He Yue looked down, and at a glance, he saw his brother’s masterpiece after his wild thoughts, and unhesitatingly stepped on it.
“Reason?” He leaned closer.
Brother’s face turned a few shades whiter, his voice trembling so much that he couldn’t form a complete sentence. “I… he provoked me, and wanted to, with me, at the same time with Master… ahhh!!”
His voice was drowned out in a cry of pain.
“I didn’t ask him, I’m asking you, brother. Why? Is it all his fault?”
Mo Lfei didn’t speak, opened his mouth, and ultimately didn’t say the reason in his heart.
He wanted to kill Jote, he wanted the fifth conquest target to disappear from this world.
Thinking of this, his eyes became a little sinister.
Only he, only he could become He Yue’s fifth conquest target.
“You can’t say it, can you?” He Yue took a step back and shook out the folded whip. “Then just take it, I’ll beat you until you submit and then tell your master.”
Mo Lfei closed his eyes and calmly prepared to receive the punishment that was about to fall on him.
He couldn’t say it.
So dark, so vicious. He, as a real intruder, actually wanted to kill the real fifth conquest target for his own selfish interests.
His master, He Yue, such a beautiful and happy existence, how could he accept such a dark side of him?
As a brother, he was always a mature and calm older brother.
But a strong sense of crisis made him have to do this.
He could compete with Wien, with the previous few female insects, and try to occupy a place in He Yue’s world with everything he had, but Jote, he couldn’t tolerate him.
He Yue flexed his wrist, his gaze sweeping over his brother’s rope and wounds.
(Remind me when there’s a mental power fluctuation.)
[Yes, Host.]
His foolish brother thought he had hidden all his thoughts well, but he had forgotten that his master was He Yue, the He Yue who was famous for his mental control at the Castle.
He had already seen through his brother’s thoughts.
Since his brother didn’t plan to be honest with him, he would beat him until he broke.
The sharp tool in his hand was a tool to open his heart, and He Yue’s use of it was almost at a perfect level.
The whistling sound of the wind came from his ear, and the powerful force pushed the rope that had chafed his skin deeper. The kneeling brother bit his teeth to resist the pain, his face already tear-streaked.
“Make a sound.”
He Yue had no mercy, determined to beat his brother until he spoke.
He couldn’t bite his own lip, his brother could only shout. Crying became a source of emotional release, and the suppressed emotions opened the floodgates, uncontrollably like a flood that washed away the dam of reason.
“I’m sorry…” Mo Lfei’s voice was hoarse, and he repeated this sentence over and over again.
He was not pain-tolerant. A male insect’s body was bound to be weaker than a human’s, not to mention Mo Lfei, as a human, had never been beaten at the Castle.
“You know I don’t want to hear an apology. Brother was personally taught by me, the most outstanding enforcer, why did you lose control and hurt an insect?”
“Ah…!” Mo Lfei’s posture was no longer standard, and his tragic voice echoed throughout the studio.
He Yue paused, the numbness in his palm making him feel comfortable. The moderate exercise relaxed his mood, and he, who enjoyed being an enforcer, was so excited that his blood burned, and his spirit was high.
But too much was as bad as not enough, and his patience for his dog was always limited.
“Bro, you know, my patience has always been limited.”
He Yue bent the enforcer’s torture instrument and lifted his brother’s chin. The dangerous expression made Mo Lfei very scared, even more unbearable than the rope embedded in his wounds.
“Brother, I taught you that an outstanding dog should be absolutely honest with its master. I thought that if I whipped brother, brother would remember what I taught him at the Castle.”
He knelt down, and the whip that pressed against Mo Lfei’s chin became his own hand, grabbing his chin and pulling him towards him.
“Doesn’t brother want to be an outstanding dog?”
Mo Lfei’s ears were almost next to He Yue’s knee, and the ends of He Yue’s hair, scattered in front of him, brushed against his face, ticklish.
“Besides, I know brother’s struggle like the back of my hand, I just want to hear brother say it to me himself. To keep quiet like this, besides disappointing me, what’s the use?”
He Yue’s words hit the bullseye, shattering all of Mo Lfei’s struggle and anxiety.
“Master…”
“Speak.” He Yue’s voice was like a seductive snake, dangerous yet intoxicating.
“Can you really know?”
He Yue raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Why don’t you try and see?”
“I’m jealous of him, jealous that he’s the real fifth conquest target. He’ll replace me, become the fifth conquest target again. I have to kill him…”
His voice turned into a cry of pain. The moment he said this, He Yue’s hand on his chin suddenly used force.
“Naughty, I didn’t allow you to do this.”
“But I don’t want to lose you, he will…”
Mo Lfei fell silent under He Yue’s threatening downward glance.
“The system chose a good game object for me. Without the system, brother wouldn’t be my dog.”
Mo Lfei nodded in his hand.
“Now, brother is already my dog. Even if the system kicks brother out now, I won’t drive brother away because of it.”
He Yue tilted his head and looked at his brother’s satisfied eyes and laughed out loud. “Instead of pleasing the system and letting the system always make brother a conquest target, why don’t you think of ways to please me?”
[…?]
A very faint “crackle” sound came from his ear, probably the system carefully protesting.
He Yue ignored it and continued, “Compared to that troublesome Jote, I still prefer brother.”
“Brother also likes Master…” Mo Lfei was so seduced that he confessed, and when he came back to his senses, the face in He Yue’s hand became even hotter.
The triumphant He Yue smiled even more deeply, as cunning as a little fox. He pinched Mo Lfei’s chin and pulled his brother before his eyes.
“But, I don’t like brother like this now. I like very, very good dogs, brother is not at all obedient.”
Brother knelt up straight, dragged his injured body, and moved towards He Yue, anxiously trying to please the person who had bruised him.
“Master, I was wrong… I will be a very, very good dog…”
[Mo Lfei, ???%.]
He Yue, hearing the system’s voice, smiled with satisfaction and ruffled his brother’s messy hair.
“What I taught brother at the Castle, brother should try to use on himself. Isn’t brother the one who’s best at thinking from the enforcer’s perspective, thinking about how to make me happy?”
