Chapter 53 : It’s a Fox [Wien, 62%]
Coming out of the base, the sky was already gradually darkening. He Yue walked out of the base, stopping in front of a park.
He didn’t return to Koeyle’s villa, taking nothing from that room, including the finished and unfinished paintings, the used and unused tools… Thankfully, his slight mysophobia meant he never shared tools with his prey, even at Castle, so he wouldn’t feel bad about having new ones custom-made.
Including the blood-red gemstone ring that held special memories, which was also left behind because of the tracker.
He needed a fresh start in the insect world, like finding a place to live and buying daily necessities.
He Yue rested on a park bench for a long time before sending a message to Wien.
The gland on the back of his neck was slightly warm, but not red and swollen like last time. He Yue hadn’t used his imprinting ability this time, and the pheromone consumption wasn’t much. The evening breeze against the back of his neck occasionally made him shiver, but the sensation quickly faded.
His calmed body showed signs of fatigue, and He Yue stared blankly at the streetlights, watching the male and female insects pass by, feeling more and more detached from his body and his surroundings.
“Master, please wake up.”
He Yue had fallen asleep on the bench at some point, and when he opened his eyes, a panting Wien was standing before him. He didn’t know where he had run from, but his forehead was beaded with sweat.
“Has Master been waiting long?”
He Yue, still groggy from sleep, looked a bit dazed. He shivered in the cool evening breeze and shook his head slightly.
Wien immediately put down the things in his hand, took off his coat, and draped it over He Yue’s shoulders. His coat retained his body heat, and the size difference made the coat look large on He Yue.
“Is Master hungry? I bought some food.”
Wien took out a warm cup of milk tea and a few small buns from the bag. He even inserted the straw into the milk tea and held it up to He Yue.
He Yue blinked, leaning closer. He pressed his cool cheek against the cup, absorbing the warmth from the milk tea, sighing contentedly as he closed his eyes.
His eyelashes fluttered, like a lazy, carefree cat.
“Master…”
Wien’s heart melted at the sight, and he couldn’t help but gently stroke He Yue’s head with his other hand.
“Wien…”
“I’m here, Master.”
“I might need to rent a place first. For tonight, let’s just stay at a hotel.”
Although Wien knew He Yue had left on his own accord, his Master’s sleepy, languid voice made him sound like he was finally willing to return to his embrace after playing to his heart’s content.
“Master, let’s go home.” Heaven knows how much effort Wien put into keeping his voice from trembling. He nervously watched He Yue’s reaction, afraid of being rejected.
He Yue froze for a moment. “What home?”
“The house I prepared for Master. Although Master has never been there, it… has always belonged to Master.”
Any capable accompanying female insect would prepare a residence for their accompanying male insect, but He Yue had been taken away by Koeyle from the moment he hatched and had never had a chance to see it.
“Because we’re an accompanying female insect and an accompanying male insect?” He Yue asked.
Wien nodded.
The housing problem was solved just like that, a major issue resolved. He Yue was in a good mood and took the milk tea from Wien’s hand.
The sweet, not-too-cloying hot drink was very comfortable and delicious. He Yue nodded and smiled. “I understand, it’s our home.”
Wien, who had been tense, relaxed. He knelt on one knee before He Yue, his tall frame now looking up at his Master.
The evening breeze was quiet and gentle, caressing He Yue’s face, making his long hair sway. He smiled, the strands of hair on his shoulders fluttering gently. Just sitting there, he was beauty itself.
“Then let’s go home, I’m a bit tired too.” He Yue said.
“Is Master uncomfortable anywhere? Do you want me to carry you?”
He Yue stretched his body, which had been sitting for a long time, and shook his head. “Only the back of my neck is a bit uncomfortable.”
“The back of your neck?” Wien, with his medical background, perked up. “Can I take a look?”
He saw the slightly raised gland on the back of He Yue’s neck and the flushed skin around it, immediately understanding the situation. Only when a female and male insect had sex, and the pheromone intensity was high, or the male insect’s adaptability was limited, would a raised bump and redness appear.
Wien’s expression changed, his jealous muttering not at all gentle. “Master just got out of the hospital and had sex with the colonel, and for so long.”
“What are you talking about?” He Yue poked his forehead with his index finger.
Wien, burning with jealousy, muttered, “Clearly, it’s sex. The colonel doesn’t even know how to be restrained with a newly born male insect, nor does he know how to comfort Master afterwards, leaving you to freeze in the cold wind.” He didn’t even realize how naturally he was slandering Koeyle, easily listing his faults.
“Why is it all Colonel Koeyle’s fault?”
After all, it was He Yue who had been unrestrained, and he was the one who had left without giving Koeyle a chance to speak.
Wien’s expression was surprised, and he said righteously, “It’s the female insect’s fault for not serving Master well!” He rested his chin on He Yue’s leg and looked up, his expression pitifully pleading. “Give me a chance too, Master, I’ll definitely do a good job.”
He looked like a large golden retriever wagging its tail and begging its master, and what he was begging for was the opportunity to serve his Master.
He Yue smiled and agreed, ruffling his brown hair.
“I’ll give you a chance.”
A single sentence was enough to make the big golden retriever overjoyed. He hugged He Yue, lifted him up, and held him face to face in his arms.
He Yue, still holding the milk tea, was effortlessly lifted into the air, held securely in Wien’s embrace. He could only wrap his arms around Wien’s neck and his legs around his back.
“Put me down, Wien, so many insects are watching.”
“It’s alright, I’m holding my accompanying male insect, no one will gossip. Besides, isn’t Master uncomfortable?”
He Yue rested his chin on Wien’s shoulder helplessly. “It’s the back of my neck that’s uncomfortable, not my legs, I can walk.”
Wien wished it was He Yue’s legs that were uncomfortable.
He wouldn’t let go, determined to hold his Master close all the way home.
“Why are you so clingy?”
He Yue treated Wien’s hair like a stress-relieving toy, constantly ruffling it, making it look like a messy bird’s nest.
The big golden retriever clung to his Master as if suffering from skin hunger, refusing to let go.
The small villa was a bit remote, but Wien, having finally gotten to hold his Master, insisted on walking back. His gait was slightly unsteady, the gentle swaying making the already drowsy He Yue even more sleepy.
It was very late by the time they got home. He Yue had slept on Wien’s shoulder for a long time and was now wide awake. He explored every corner of the duplex villa, finally stopping at the room at the end of the corridor.
Wien had mysteriously saved this room for last, saying he had a surprise for his Master.
When he opened the door, He Yue was truly stunned.
It was his studio.
The various decorations were replicated as closely as possible, and what couldn’t be replicated was replaced with something better. The easel, canvas, paints, the bar with its colorful bottles of alcohol, the workbench for making tools, and the exquisite new tools in the cabinet.
The cabinet was only half-full, leaving the other half for He Yue to fill with his own things.
Everything was ready. If He Yue wanted to play, he could start now.
Wien hadn’t spent much time in the studio, mostly relying on his memory to recreate it.
“Where did you buy all these?” He Yue pointed to the tools in the cabinet.
“Mostly from Kano’s auction house.”
These tools weren’t mass-produced factory items; each one was handmade, unique, and would definitely fetch a high price at auction.
“He must have ripped you off, right?” He Yue chuckled.
“It was within a bearable range, it’s alright.”
He Yue didn’t know how much time, effort, and money Wien had spent to furnish the room like this, but he knew that whatever he liked, Wien would prepare for him.
Wien would remember his favorite dishes, and he would replicate his favorite tools. His world revolved around He Yue, his mind filled with nothing but He Yue. The entire world was just He Yue, and it couldn’t turn without him.
Even if any insect in this world betrayed him, his accompanying female insect would never betray him. This was the genetic imprint Wien followed.
The most loyal little dog in the world.
He Yue still couldn’t understand how Wien’s submission value could only be 60%.
“Thank you, Wien, I like it very much.” He buried himself in Wien’s embrace, responding to the little dog’s devotion.
“I’m glad you like it…”
Wien’s devotion was unconditional and didn’t ask for anything in return. Now, receiving He Yue’s approval was already a great honor.
“Master, does the back of your neck still hurt?”
He Yue touched the still-warm back of his neck, feeling that the swelling had gone down, the intense discomfort also subsiding. He smiled, a captivating smile, and said softly, “It’s still a bit uncomfortable. Can you take a look for me, is it still red?”
Wien nodded.
“Does the doggy know how to relieve Master’s neck pain?”
As a medical doctor, Wien knew exactly what to do, but seeing He Yue’s mischievous smile, his eyes narrowed into a seductive slit, he knew his Master was up to no good.
“I don’t know, can Master teach me?”
He Yue thought for a moment. “Bite it, and then suck out the excess pheromones, that will relieve the congestion.”
The truth was no longer important at this point. Wien leaned closer, his soft lips gently brushing against the red mark on the back of He Yue’s neck.
The flushed skin on the back of his neck was a product of their lovemaking, completely linked to He Yue’s lust. When Wien’s warm, wet tongue licked the flushed skin, He Yue’s legs almost gave out, and he shrank into Wien’s embrace.
His rough tongue slowly licked the surface of the gland, more effective than any medicine in arousing He Yue. His eyelashes glistened with tears as he blinked, his soft moans becoming more and more passionate. The tingling sensation after the numbness, the itching on the surface of the gland, stirred a sense of emptiness and a greater need within him.
“Bite… bite the gland…”
He Yue’s hands rested lightly on Wien’s shoulders, not caring whether biting the male insect’s fragile gland was good for his body, only thinking that having his itchy neck bitten and then fiercely sucked would be incredibly pleasurable.
But his little dog paused.
Any other female insect wouldn’t have stopped at this moment, with his beloved Master’s eyes glistening with tears, his every seductive moan whispered in his ear, enough to captivate his soul.
But this was Wien, and he would control all his greed and desire, putting his Master’s health and happiness first.
“Biting the gland isn’t good for a male insect, Master.”
It wasn’t easy for reason to prevail. Both Wien himself and the now dazed He Yue were impressed that he could say this.
(System, will biting the gland kill me?)
[No, but…]
“Bite it, it will be fine, trust me…” He Yue completely ignored the system’s possible warning. “It won’t be a big deal. Didn’t you say you would do better than the colonel?”
He couldn’t wait to be completely satisfied, his hands wrapping around Wien’s neck, his voice laced with a seductive threat.
“Didn’t you say you would make your Master feel very comfortable?”
Wien pressed his lips against the back of He Yue’s neck, his teeth gently scraping against the fragile skin, making his Master shudder. Receiving this positive feedback, Wien completely lost control and bit down on the gland.
Leaving a bite mark on the gland had a special meaning in the insect world.
It wasn’t just physical contact, the gland was a unique part of a male insect, carrying a higher symbolic meaning.
Recognition, attachment, possession…
The dual recognition of body and mind made Wien bite down even harder, until the refreshing floral scent filled his nostrils, and the metallic taste of blood touched his tongue, snapping him out of his daze.
He Yue, in his arms, was crying from the pain of the broken skin, his dazed expression lost in a trance, his waist soft and yielding, easily encircled. His expression wasn’t one of pain, but of a pleasure so intense it was almost overwhelming.
Wien nuzzled his Master’s burning cheek, a contented smile on his lips.
As long as his Master was healthy and happy, he would do anything for him.
He licked away the blood from the broken skin on the gland, gently biting the most fragile spot in the center, and then sucked away the blood.
He Yue’s brow furrowed sharply, his hands gripping Wien’s back, a cry escaping his lips. This surpassed all previous experiences, almost sending him over the edge, draining all his strength.
Even more intense than when Koeyle, in his half-insectoid state, had serviced him with his forked tongue.
“Mas, Master…?”
Wien was also scared.
His Master’s legs naturally wrapped around him, his weakened state making it easy for Wien to lift them. He Yue, either from the afterglow of his orgasm, or from the sheer intensity of the pleasure, was now sobbing softly.
Wien was at a loss, gently patting his back, coaxing him softly. “Master, I’m sorry… I was wrong.” He apologized profusely, not caring whether he had received permission to suck on He Yue’s neck in the first place.
He Yue lowered his head, his body trembling with sobs, his heart pounding, unable to calm down.
This feeling was completely new; he had never experienced it before.
A small patch of skin on the back of his neck, more sensitive and vulnerable than his cock, brought him to the brink of orgasm with just a bite and a suck.
(Am I really not going to die?)
The system, about to scold him with a [Now you’re scared], changed its tone to one of comfort as He Yue trembled violently.
[No, this is a normal sensation.]
“Master, don’t cry. Is it very uncomfortable? Should I get some medicine?”
Wien gently nuzzled He Yue’s head, the culprit himself feeling guilty, coaxing him cautiously.
He Yue recovered, wiping his tears on his sleeve. He looked up, his eyes red and swollen, but the tears had been wiped away.
“I’m fine…” His voice was slightly hoarse, the sound of his arousal incredibly pleasant.
As the orgasm subsided, He Yue leaned weakly against Wien’s shoulder, seemingly still in shock. The male insect’s body had given him too many new experiences, each time breaking the rules of his own biology, pushing him to new heights of pleasure.
“I’m tired…” He Yue panted softly. He had slept all the way here, but the bite on his gland had still exhausted him.
“I’ll carry Master to the bath, and then you can sleep well.” Wien carried He Yue out of the studio, murmuring, “The bed in the bedroom is the best, it will be very comfortable to sleep in. Master can also tell me what kind of scent you like, the room’s furnishings can all be changed…”
He rambled on about the room, treating it as their home.
As long as the genetic imprint existed, no matter how wild He Yue played outside, he would always come home to rest.
Wien firmly believed this and was willing to be that final harbor. Even if the other little dogs He Yue played with were unique, they might, like Koeyle, one day leave their Master.
So, he was at ease, not at all anxious.
As long as his Master was by his side, he would never be a lost little dog.
[Wien, 62%]
He Yue applied medicine to the back of his neck, still feeling a slight discomfort when he put on his clothes. Even with a layer of clothing and ointment, the collar of his coat felt very present.
Wien had prepared breakfast for him and left early for the base research institute.
He Yue ate breakfast for lunch and, after a moment’s hesitation, went out.
The tracker on Knasch hadn’t moved since it stopped at Kano’s shop. He had long suspected that their relationship was unusual, but he still wanted to investigate.
“You said, Knasch?”
Kano was very surprised that He Yue mentioned this name.
Whether it was his brother’s assassin organization or the circles he knew, He Yue had never been involved. The names of every member were strictly confidential, yet He Yue could so easily say Knasch’s name.
“Is he here?”
“What do you want with him?”
Kano’s expression was a mixture of confusion and vigilance. He knew his own affairs were entangled with many insects and didn’t want to drag He Yue into it.
“I’m not interested in your affairs,” He Yue’s words made Kano breathe a sigh of relief. “I’m looking for Knasch to collect what he owes me.” Kano frowned. “What does he owe you? Money? Or… weapons? I can give you whatever you need.” “Can you really give me anything?”
Kano nodded.
He Yue watched as Kano unhesitatingly fell into his trap, a wide smile spreading across his face.
“I’m here to collect the half a life he owes me.”
He watched Kano’s expression stiffen. “You can’t go back on your promise. You have to take me to see him.” Kano paused, his expression troubled. “He’s no longer part of the organization.” “What?”
“He broke the organization’s rules and was expelled. He was a genetically modified monster from the beginning, created for the amusement of male insects. Without the organization’s protection, he should return to his original place.” He Yue remembered the cat-insect that had been auctioned off. “Are you going to sell him?” “Yes.”
He Yue nodded. “When? I want to buy him.”
Kano pursed his lips, for once not seizing this easy opportunity to please He Yue. “Tomorrow, at the auction house’s banquet.” “What’s the starting price?”
Kano shook his head. “There’s no starting price, and you don’t need money to buy him. Whoever can turn him from an assassin back into a sex slave can take him away.” A sex slave?
“You seem very confident that you’ll win him.” He Yue said with a relaxed smile.
Kano chuckled, his eyes filled with a complex emotion. “No, I’m confident that no one can win him. This is a bet between him and me. If no one can turn him back into a sex tool, I’ll let him go.” A bet. This word, so exciting to He Yue, instantly ignited his competitive spirit.
“I’m confident I can win him, Kano.” Excitement danced in his eyes, his voice quickening.
“You really…”
Kano stopped trying to dissuade him and sighed heavily.
“You two, it’s truly a battle of mad tricksters.”
“Why do you say that?”
Kano countered, “Can you guess what animal’s genes he was fused with?” He Yue shook his head.
“A fox.”
The banquet was extravagant, the clinking of glasses and the murmur of conversation filling the air. The male insects, wearing half-masks, had shed their inhibitions, no longer as composed as they were at formal gatherings. The masks concealed their elegant facades, revealing their true, savage nature.
He Yue’s presence was a stark contrast.
He sat in a dimly lit corner, wearing a gold-filigreed mask, gold chains dangling from the sides. A quiet atmosphere surrounded him, and he leaned against the wall, sipping his wine, observing the chaotic crowd.
The main event was brought to the stage, and a gasp went through the crowd.
A female insect lay on the table, his hands raised above his head, tied to the handle of the serving cart with a red silk ribbon. He had two fox ears on his head, his body naked except for a fluffy fox tail covering his private parts.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, his contorted shoulders bruised.
“This is the last item of the night. Whoever can make him cum can take him away.” He Yue’s finger traced the rim of his wine glass, the wine-stained finger creating a soft melody as he flicked it.
A fox, a trickster.
His gaze was drawn to the fluffy fur.
What an interesting bet.
