Chapter 63: The Three of Us [Knasch, 50%]…
“Sir, excuse me, where did your female insect get those ears?” A friendly-looking male insect approached He Yue, pointing at Knasch’s conspicuous fox ears. “They can even move, are they electric? I want to buy a pair too.”
“Of course a fox’s ears are real…”
He Yue covered Knasch’s mouth with one hand.
“Over there,” he pointed to a small stall selling decorations not far away. “My fox’s ears are custom-made, that’s why they can move. I just saw a stall selling headbands over there, you can go take a look.”
“Is that so… thank you, sir.” The male insect looked disappointed, still unable to forget the twitching fluffy ears. “Sir, can I touch the fox’s ears?”
The question was like asking, “Can I pet your dog?”
“You can…”
The fox turned and shrank into He Yue’s arms, his chin resting on his shoulder. His voice was soft, right next to He Yue’s ear.
“Can the fox only be touched by Master?”
The little animal’s instinct to recognize its owner made Knasch have a bad attitude towards all insects other than his Master. Regardless of whether this male insect was friendly or not, he disliked him immensely.
He Yue’s hand ruffled the fox’s ears, and he heard a soft whimper. The absolute recognition and a double standard that knew no bounds satisfied He Yue’s teasing fetish, and he squeezed the fox’s ears with force, a smile on his face.
“Sorry, my fox is shy. If you touch his ears, he’ll bite you later.”
The male insect sighed reluctantly, but still said goodbye politely.
The fox, lying on his Master’s shoulder, was already in a daze from his Master’s hand squeezing him. He buried his head to hide his aroused eyes and cheeks, but his flushed earlobes were exposed.
His Master’s hand was a good aphrodisiac. The daily wooden stick on his body, hitting every part of him, had awakened the potential of his genetic imprint. Every muscle, every inch of skin, and even his Master’s gaze and words when not touching him, could make the fox get aroused, turning him into a slutty dog for his Master to play with.
“Don’t get aroused in public, stand properly.”
Knasch straightened up and stood awkwardly beside him, taking a few deep breaths to calm his surging lust.
“Master, let’s go take a look too.” Wien saw everything, his emotions swirling in his eyes, but he only gently took He Yue’s other hand.
He Yue glanced at Wien’s dark brown hair and thought for a moment.
“Alright, let’s go take a look.”
There weren’t many people at the handmade stall. Various exquisite animal ear headbands were displayed, and they hadn’t sold for a long time. The female insect vendor saw the three of them approaching and immediately greeted them with a smile.
“Hello, feel free to look and choose, you can try them on.”
The female insect vendor noticed the fox’s unique fluffy ears. “Is this a white fox?”
He rummaged through the piled-up stall and took out a self-made red fox ear headband. “I have a red fox here, would you like to try it?”
Wien took it and pinched the red fox ears made of artificial fur. The handmade product wasn’t as soft and supple as real ears, the wire frame holding the ears in place, making them hard to the touch.
He dreamed of becoming the fluffy thing his Master liked.
“Then I’ll take this one.” Wien was about to pay with his card when He Yue stopped him.
He Yue took out a pair of golden ears from a corner, two thin strips of cloth dog ears drooping down, which could be shaken when he moved.
“This one suits you, lower your head.”
The headband was placed on Wien’s head. The dark brown silk ribbon of the headband was well hidden in Wien’s hair, and the two ears sticking out from the pressed hair looked surprisingly real.
“No one said you had to be a fox.” He Yue smoothed the two cloth ears and used the vendor’s small comb to comb the fur. “You’re my dog, a big golden retriever.”
The red fox headband was thrown back onto the stall by Wien. He gently nuzzled He Yue’s hand, which was stroking his cheek, a myriad of emotions welling up.
“I’m Master’s dog, only Master’s dog.”
Knasch, on the other side, quietly bought the red fox ear headband and hid it in another shopping bag.
What’s wrong with a red fox!
Knasch silently defended his own kind in his heart, but didn’t dare to make a sound to disturb his Master’s enjoyment.
“What do you think I should wear?” He Yue’s gaze was lost among the numerous headbands on the stall.
“Cat!!” The fox shouted first. Wien also agreed, picking out a cat ear headband with thick black fur at the base, and handed it to He Yue.
He Yue examined the exquisitely made headband. “This one is nice.” He, who had always loved fluffy things, was already ruffling the cat ear headband.
“I’ll put it on for Master.”
He Yue raised his chin slightly, letting Wien gently place the headband on his head. The long hair and cat ears were a good match, the outer black cat ears with a faint pinkish-white inside, looking like they had grown there.
The thick cat ears had a cute quality, yet they also matched his elegant temperament, as if they were a part of him, making people’s hearts soften while also wanting to call him Master and be at his command.
The fox stared at the swaying cat ears, unable to look away, and chuckled softly, “The leader of the cat cult.”
Two canines met a feline Master, one pampering and protecting the smaller cat, the other obeying his commands as his slave.
Wasn’t this a real-life cat-raising experience?
“Let me take a picture of the three of you.” The female insect vendor, who had finally made a sale, was overjoyed and took out his camera.
Under the bright lights of the festival, countless insects passed by without stopping. In the photo, the fox’s special ears were no longer special, Wien’s desired fluffy ears had come true, and He Yue stood between them, wearing the beautiful cat ears, held in their embrace, a gentle, happy smile on his face.
“You three are such a happy family.” The female insect vendor showed them the photo and sighed.
The idea of a family of three was amusing, making He Yue laugh out loud, his eyes curving even more, like a bright crescent moon.
“Wien, you actually stole a kiss from Master! That’s not fair!” The fox looked at the photo and was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
In the photo, Wien was holding He Yue’s side, his much taller height allowing him to turn his head and press it against the fluffy cat ear, no different from a kiss. Knasch clamored for another photo, he wanted to kiss him back.
The big golden retriever was slightly dissatisfied. He had come up with the pose himself, what was wrong with one more kiss?
“Then let’s take another one.”
He Yue spoke, and Wien and the vendor could only agree.
In the second photo, the fox directly wrapped his arms around He Yue’s neck and kissed his cheek, making He Yue dodge and bump into Wien’s arms.
This candid shot also had a comedic effect. The fox was holding He Yue’s neck and trying to kiss him, He Yue was dodging his kiss and leaning back into Wien’s arms, and Wien was holding his Master’s waist, his chin resting on his head.
“That’s enough, fox!” He Yue pushed away the fox who was trying to kiss his face a few more times and adjusted the crooked headband.
Knasch, hearing the warning, had to stand up straight.
“Sir, I also have a matching tail belt, do you need one?” The vendor took two fluffy tails from the hanging line behind him, one a fluffy cat tail, the other a golden dog tail.
He Yue took them from the vendor’s hand and handed the golden retriever tail to Wien. “This one is nice!” He smoothed the fur of the cat tail, his hand filled with the fluffy texture.
“Pay.” The card, which had barely warmed up in Wien’s pocket, was taken out again.
The cat tail was fastened at He Yue’s waist, the belt creating a curved arc before drooping down. The extra-long cat tail almost reached He Yue’s ankles, and with every step he took, it would sway gently.
The tight belt accentuated the curve of his waist, and the cat tail, positioned in the middle of his lower back, pushed his long hair to the sides, adding a touch of seductive charm.
It was no wonder Wien’s eyes were glued to him. Any gaze lingering on the cat tail on He Yue’s lower back would spark fantasies.
“So, so beautiful…” Wien swallowed hard, his cheeks burning.
He Yue, seeing his expression, became even more playful and wrapped his arms around his neck.
“You should really look at yourself in the mirror, big golden retriever.” He Yue rested his chin on his chest, his bright eyes reflecting the dazzling neon lights, making them even more striking, the tip of the cat ear scratching Wien’s chin, making it itch.
“I… what’s wrong?”
“Your eyes clearly show that you’re coveting your Master, and you also want to eat this beautiful little cat in one bite.”
Wien smiled and admitted it, leaning in and hugging him. Thankfully, the cat tail was just a decoration, not actually growing out of He Yue’s body, so Wien could secretly touch it without alarming He Yue.
“If Master were really a little cat, as a large dog, I would definitely bite the cat’s head first.”
“You dare.”
Perhaps it was the good atmosphere, but Wien, with the golden tail tied around his waist, rarely spoke so proactively and possessively. After being sternly reminded by He Yue, Wien immediately came back to his senses and held him carefully.
“Master, I’m sorry…”
He Yue was amused by this big golden retriever who was so easily frightened by a single word and patted his tense face reassuringly.
“If you perform well, Master can reward you with a bite of the cat’s head.”
“Yes, doggy will always satisfy Master.” A simple promise, but coming from Wien, it meant he would do his best.
“Is doggy satisfied with his ears and tail?”
Wien nodded continuously, the two cloth golden retriever ears on his head swaying.
“You have many ways to please your Master, besides harming your own body.”
Wien didn’t expect the boomerang from last time to still hit him. His Master had many ways to teach him the rules, whether gently or harshly.
“Master still remembers…”
“Of course, if I hadn’t thought your condition was wrong and used soothing pheromones in time, when I opened the door the next day, I would have seen an insect.”
Wien, knowing his fault, also felt guilty. “Master hasn’t punished me yet.”
“You won’t be spared.” He Yue pinched Wien’s pectoral muscle, which had just started to regain its shape, and teased with a smile, “Good progress, keep it up.”
“…I will.”
Rehabilitation was far more difficult than the first time, but Wien didn’t mention a single word about the sweat and hardship involved.
As long as his Master liked it, everything he did was worth it.
He Yue patted his head, and when he turned around, he couldn’t see the white figure anymore.
“Where did the fox go?”
The white fox ears should have been very conspicuous, but He Yue looked around and couldn’t find any trace of white. He spun around, looking for the white fox ears, his long cat tail wrapping around his leg and then unwrapping.
“Master!”
Knasch suddenly appeared from behind He Yue.
He Yue grabbed the fox’s ear and asked sternly, “This place is crowded, why did you run off without saying anything?”
The fluffy white ball of fur behind the fox wagged, attracting He Yue’s attention. The fox must have secretly found an inconspicuous place, untied the bag and restraints on his tail, and fluffed it up for display.
His tail was different from He Yue’s belt cat tail; it was real, growing out of his body. The fox’s tail also curved upwards at the base, lifting the hem of his hoodie.
“Master and doggy were being intimate, of course the fox had to step aside…”
Knasch gently tugged on He Yue’s clothes, his fox ears drooping, his blue eyes filled with a pitiful, pleading look, but his lips were curled into a mischievous smile.
This green tea fox was full of tricks, always competing for attention.
“…You green tea bitch.” Wien was very close to He Yue, and even though he only muttered it under his breath, He Yue, standing right beside him, heard him clearly.
The childish fight between the two canines was as amusing to He Yue as watching two small animals fighting over him.
“You two, stop it.”
He Yue took Wien’s arm with one hand and grabbed the fox’s tail with the other. “Let’s go somewhere else.”
They truly looked like a family of three.
As they walked down the street, many insects would stop and stare, but no one noticed that the fox’s tail was real. Most insects just thought the three of them looked very harmonious together, occasionally lingering their gaze on the most eye-catching one, He Yue.
The long-haired black cat form attracted countless gazes. Whether those gazes were of pure admiration or tinged with lust, He Yue calmly ignored them. No insect dared to snatch the cat protected by the dog and the fox, their gazes mostly just envious.
“Master, the wine you wanted.”
Wien had just bought wine and drinks from the convenience store, along with a few ice cups. He placed the bag on the terrace table and arranged the bottles one by one.
This was a private terrace, a single glass wall offering a view of the entire Area A city at night. The slightly open window let in a cool night breeze, comfortable and not cold, very pleasant.
Booking a private terrace wasn’t easy, and the price wasn’t low. Wien had waited in line for a long time on his optical device to get a reservation and hadn’t hesitated to pay.
Master’s first annual celebration…
Wien had chosen this from among many plans and had already scheduled the rest for next year, the year after, and the year after that.
He Yue tasted a little of each drink, then skillfully began to mix cocktails. The basic flavors were similar, and no matter how he mixed them, it wouldn’t be a disaster.
“Try it.” He Yue pushed the mixed cocktail in an ice cup towards Wien.
Wien shook his head. “I’m not drinking today, Master.”
“Alright, then the fox can try it.”
Knasch took the cocktail Wien didn’t drink, feeling resentful. “Wien isn’t drinking with Master, you’re a bad dog!”
“I’m driving the mecha.”
“…”
The fox guiltily pulled his fox ears down, covering his human ears. “What, I didn’t hear clearly.”
He Yue laughed a few times and leaned closer to Wien, as if whispering, but his voice wasn’t low at all.
“Let’s get the fox drunk later, then throw him on the street and go home in the mecha.”
“The fox heard that!!”
The fox, as expected, fell into the trap, sat up from the floor, and crawled to He Yue’s feet, leaning against his leg.
“Master, don’t abandon the fox… the fox will be very good…”
The little thing was putting on a show again, his eyes wide and flirtatious.
He Yue, his trick successful, laughed heartily, his hand shaking as he poured a little more liquor into his own cocktail.
Wien watched He Yue’s movements, watching him mix various drinks into a delicious cocktail.
“Will Master get drunk? This wine is very strong.”
“What, are you going to get me drunk and throw me on the street too?”
“I, how could I!” Wien’s voice was very urgent. Even if He Yue drank until he was unconscious, he would take good care of him and carry him home. How could he do what He Yue had said?
He Yue handed him the glass of non-alcoholic drink. “So, even if I drink this entire bottle, there’s nothing to worry about.”
He clinked his glass with Wien’s, then leaned over and clinked it with the fox sitting at his feet.
The drinks at the insect race’s convenience store were very different from those in the human world, and the cocktail He Yue was drinking also had a strange taste. The extra liquor he had accidentally poured made the cocktail a bit spicy, but it stimulated his taste buds, and the taste wasn’t bad.
Mixing cocktails was also a source of pleasure for He Yue, and his control over the flavors allowed him to enjoy interesting and delicious drinks.
They chatted casually until He Yue was a bit drunk and leaned against Wien.
“Master?”
Wien took the glass, which now only contained ice, from his hand and placed it on the table, adjusting his posture to make him more comfortable.
The fox, not hearing He Yue’s voice for a long time, turned his head and saw him half-asleep, leaning against Wien.
He wasn’t completely drunk yet, and thus, very quiet. His half-closed eyes showed his fluttering eyelashes, his face flushed a faint pink. The black cat ears were still on his head, the cat tail belt hanging quietly on the chair.
A drunk black cat.
His lips were wet with wine, a vibrant red, perfectly matching his waist-length black hair and pale pink cheeks.
“Don’t look.”
Wien said softly, one arm around He Yue’s waist, the other covering his eyes. The large hand covered most of his face, leaving only his vibrant red lips exposed.
Even more alluring.
“Why can’t I look? Master doesn’t belong to just you!”
The fox lowered his voice to avoid waking He Yue and knelt up, trying to pull Wien’s hand away. He tugged at Wien’s arm, and although his strength wasn’t enough to pull it away, he still made him retract his hand, worried about waking He Yue.
He Yue’s hand rested quietly on his lap, and he didn’t wake up from the two canines’ gentle squabble.
“Master’s hand is so cold.”
Knasch first noticed He Yue’s fingers, reddened from the cold glass, and tucked his hand into his tail fur.
The fluffy texture enveloped He Yue’s hand, the warmth from the tail’s core more comfortable than just stroking the fur.
He Yue moaned comfortably and opened his eyes, his drunken gaze filled with a spring-like ripple.
He unconsciously hugged the fox’s tail, like a soft pillow.
“Wien… when are we going home…” His drunken voice was hazy and clingy.
“Whenever you want.”
“…”
He Yue’s blurry words were like a whisper, his tone indistinct. He rested for a while, then clamored to finish the rest of the wine. After being coaxed into drinking only a part of it by the fox and the dog, he completely passed out in Wien’s arms.
Out of selfishness, even though He Yue was asleep, the two of them tacitly stayed in the room together for a long time.
The quiet days were rare. The fox warmed He Yue’s hand with his tail, and Wien let He Yue sit on his lap, using himself as a cushion.
“I used to think the annual celebration was very stupid, what’s there to celebrate after three hundred meaningless days?” The fox looked at the bright neon lights, admiring the dazzling scene.
“That’s because you haven’t met a Master worth celebrating with.” Wien replied.
The fox nodded, quietly taking He Yue’s dangling cat tail and wrapping it around his own.
“Now I think, I also want to be the kind of stupid insect who looks forward to every festival.”
[Knasch, 50%]
Wien wanted to keep the dog tail he had bought, but He Yue snatched it away.
“You haven’t been punished for secretly doing a forbidden project at the research institute.” He Yue swung the golden tail in his hand. “This will do.”
“Does Master want to whip me with this tail?”
The tail was reinforced with a steel wire, and its length and flexibility were perfect for whipping someone.
But for He Yue, of course, this was a waste.
He Yue smiled mysteriously. “Of course not, come to the studio later.”
On the studio workbench, He Yue detached the golden tail from the belt and glued it to a butt plug. The iron butt plug was polished smooth, with several beautiful beads attached.
Now, with a beautiful golden tail attached, it had a new charm.
Since his doggy wanted to grow a golden retriever tail, then let him wear this artificial one.
He combed the artificial fur with a comb dipped in smoothing water, making it shiny and smooth. He Yue placed it on the workbench and went to get the doggy.
The studio door opened quietly, and a fox head poked in.
Knasch tiptoed inside, his gaze falling on the golden tail on the workbench, his ears instantly burning.
Master, how…
But his purpose wasn’t here. He went straight to the modified wardrobe door. He remembered He Yue putting the cat tail belt in the back of the wardrobe and never mentioning it again.
This cat tail belt had a special meaning for Knasch.
When he walked on the street with his fox ears exposed, accepting the scrutinizing and strange gazes, He Yue had chosen to wear the belt himself, becoming his “kind,” so he would no longer be subjected to malicious stares.
Because of He Yue, he was no longer an outcast.
“I remember seeing Master put the cat tail belt in the wardrobe, why isn’t it here?” Knasch murmured to himself, frantically searching.
He Yue would lock the studio door when he left, and this was a rare opportunity for Knasch. He had to steal the cat tail!
The sound of the studio door unlocking came, and the fox’s ears immediately perked up. He quickly hid himself in the wardrobe and closed the door. The mischievous fox’s heart pounded, and he didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.
“Did you see the golden tail I brought to punish you?”
He Yue’s voice came from outside the wardrobe.
“I saw it…”
“Then put on the tail and ears, doggy, stand over there, back to me.”
Knasch heard the approaching footsteps, stopping just outside the wardrobe. Through the small gap in the wardrobe door, he saw Wien standing very close, wearing the golden retriever ear headband and tail.
…
…He was screwed.
