The front door of the house was tightly closed, and the windows were completely covered by thick curtains. Lu Xun couldn't see what was going on inside, so he simply turned his body to let the person behind him walk in front.

"You go."

Lin Xuqiu wore a mask, clearly having had a restless night; his eyes betrayed the weariness of his late-night hiding. In the current world, alien species are difficult to accept, and after the lab technicians arrived, he could only hide in the forest.

Lu Xun went to great lengths to get the people from the laboratory to leave, and that very night he searched the entire surrounding area.

Sheng Shixian and Pei Du couldn't run far. Lu Xun searched through more than a dozen mountain paths before finally finding the house.

Lin Xuqiu glanced at Lu Xun, quickly checked the surroundings, and then tiptoed towards the gate. The gate showed signs of damage, as if it had been kicked hard.

Lin Xuqiu listened intently for a while, pressing his ear against the surface, but heard no conversation from inside the house. He turned and gave Lu Xun a wink, then pulled out a wire and pried open the lock.

Lu Xun gripped the pistol tightly in his hand warily, bending over as if in ambush, and faintly smelled some familiar scents again.

Words cannot describe it. Lu Xun only felt that the scent was particularly gentle, as if it had been drawn from him and separated from him for a long time.

He frowned, not bothering to investigate the source of the smell any further. Pei Du was often smothered by this scent, which made Lu Xun even more certain that the two of them were hiding inside.

The creature, which had been silently floating in the air, was caught in the middle of the night. Last night was the perfect opportunity for it to gain some yang energy, but Pei Du, that heartless man, threw it outside the door without a second thought.

Desperate to survive, it flitted about aimlessly, eventually clinging to the window and listening intently to the sounds coming from inside the room.

It was clearly intense. Every time a muffled groan came from inside, the Yang energy value on the survival indicator doubled, making the survivor so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

Pei Du estimated that he could get a lot of yang energy from Sheng Shixian last night. He would try to survive by going in later and getting some of Pei Du's yang energy, which might help him grow bigger.

"Commander, I'll go in first," Lin Xuqiu said in a low voice, turning his head.

Lu Xun nodded to him, then gripped his pistol and followed closely behind Lin Xuqiu.

The living room was no longer completely dark; the curtains weren't blocking out the light well, and the light coming in from outside had already covered most of the area.

As soon as Lu Xun entered, he saw clothes and pants thrown on the table and the floor, most of which belonged to Pei Du. The lab technician's clothes he wore had a distinctive logo, and Lu Xun could recognize them at a glance.

Lu Xun frowned slightly. His gaze swept over the waistband lying on the corner of the table, and he vaguely guessed something.

"Heh." Lu Xun sneered. He continued walking forward, and when he saw the underwear thrown at the door of the guest room, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer.

Lin Xuqiu leaned against the wall and analyzed, "They're not on guard right now, so we can make a move."

"No need." Lu Xun lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He hadn't come here to take the two people inside back. He was also considering what Pei Du had told him, and he was willing to cooperate with Pei Du once.

After all, Pei Du has Gong Yuanshen backing him up. If he can get the support of the entire research institute, Lu Xun's plan to promote military reform will be much easier to implement.

Lu Xun exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at the tightly closed door, and then kicked it hard.

The door was locked, and Lu Xun controlled his strength, kicking the door until it made a buzzing sound.

"Get the hell up!"

A deep male voice echoed in the room, and Lu Xun deliberately increased the volume, filling the entire house with his voice.

Sheng Shixian sat on the bed, his long tail poised to attack. He stared intently ahead, the door trembling. Upon hearing Lu Xun's voice, Sheng Shixian relaxed.

It wasn't Lin Xuqiu, and Lu Xun had no intention of shooting at them.

Pei Du hugged Sheng Shixian's waist from behind, his long fingers tracing down Sheng Shixian's waist and abdomen, caressing the deep, winding lines of his body.

“Don’t worry, Lu Xun is here to make a deal with me.” Pei Du’s voice remained unchanged. He kissed the skin on the back of Sheng Shixian’s neck and looked down at the long tail that kept rising and falling on his chest.

Sheng Shixian's expression remained consistently composed. Upon hearing this, he turned to look behind him and asked, "What deal did you make?"

His voice was steady as he asked questions, his face expressionless. But his long, furry tail kept rubbing against Pei Du's chest, occasionally rising up and teasingly hooking Pei Du's chin.

Pei Du tilted his head slightly. Sheng Shixian's long tail was the same color as his beast ears, pure black as ink, without any other colors mixed in.

The hair that grows from inside is long and thick, and when it is spread out, it feels soft to the touch.

Pei Du lowered his palm and pressed down on the spot where Sheng Shixian's tail was growing, intentionally rubbing the warmth of its base.

Sheng Shixian stopped breathing; his long tail was located near his coccyx.

Pei Du said he liked his tail, but every time he stroked it, his fingertips would unconsciously continue down the curve.

"Sheng Shixian, do you want to go back to the Sheng family?" Pei Du asked, close to the back of Sheng Shixian's ear. He gently rubbed it, which unsurprisingly caused Sheng Shixian to tremble.

Sheng Shixian gripped the bedsheet beneath him, suppressing his breathing and tensing the muscles in his thighs: "I'm not going back."

To him, the Sheng family was merely a tool for revenge. President Sheng had betrayed and abandoned him, driving him to this state.

Even Ling Yu was the same. They had studied and grown up together since childhood, but Ling Yu had only used Sheng Shixian as a stepping stone to trample on all these years.

He called him "brother," pretended to save him, then turned around and told the military about Sheng Shixian's whereabouts, crippling him and selling him cheaply on the black market.

Ling Yu's actions were all crystal clear, each one a dangerous gamble on a red-light district.

Then none of them will have an easy time. A ruthless glint appeared in Sheng Shixian's eyes. He would rather empty and crush the entire Sheng family than let Ling Yu gain even the slightest benefit from it.

It's a pity that he has achieved his business success over the years. Now he is all alone and still has to rely on Pei Du for support.

Pei Du clearly sensed Sheng Shixian's lack of focus. He gently licked Sheng Shixian's earlobe, and then increased the force when he bit it.

Sheng Shixian let out a muffled groan and grabbed the table and chair in front of him. He raised his head, the bright light outlining the smooth lines of his neck.

"Pei Du, if you don't get out of the room, Lu Xun will kill you." Sheng Shixian lowered his voice, sounding like a threat, but his eyes twitched slightly.

He warned, "Hurry up."

“I know, I’ll leave the room right away.” Pei Du sat on the bed, his thumb gently stroking Sheng Shixian’s rarely vulnerable spot, his eyes crinkling into a smile. “Bear with it.”

Sheng Shixian's earlobes were burning hot. He bit his lip, and sweat dripped down his eyelashes.
