CH 20

Editor: LotusEater

Lu Mo didn’t know how long he had slept, and when he finally woke up, it was to a splitting headache. 

He sat up with difficulty, only to feel the sky was spinning. He felt as if he were a glass ball in a bowl;  rolling in circles, unable to find his way.

Within three seconds, he hugged his head and laid back down.

“What’s wrong with me?’

[Ding! The Strategy Assistant would like to inform you: The grade of your mental power has been upgraded to C-grade. Please keep working hard!] 

Lu Mo was silent for a while: “So I wasn’t a C-grade before?”

[You are so cute.]

The system switched to a cold mechanical voice this time: [Who gave you the confidence that you were already C-Grade?]

Lu Mo: “……”

System, I hate that you have no heart.

“No,” He insisted. “You said I had broken through to C-grade before.”

[Correction,] The system countered coldly: [The upper limit of your grade had become open to Grade C. You had still needed to rely on your own efforts to actually reach it.]

Lu Mo: “…..Okay.” 

[Hehe.]

Even though Lu Mo was dizzy, he clearly felt the system’s dissatisfaction and mockery, so much so that it was almost overflowing. He took a deep breath and asked, “My esteemed system sir, how did I piss you off again?”

[You still have the nerve to ask.] The system contemptuously asked, [Who put me in the small dark room? Who left me alone in the dark? Who abandoned his wife and children—I’ve been with you for so long, and I’m no better than a female who’s known you for less than seven days?]

Lu Mo opened his mouth: “We have only been together for three years…” 

The system raised its voice in anger, [Is this your attitude towards me? I must deduct all your scum value! Only if you kneel down and beg me now will I barely forgive you. Moreover,  THAT will be entirely out of my kindness, and you’ll still need to make up for even more than that…]

It seemed that the system was really upset.

Lu Mo, confused, questioned, “So, what the hell happened?”

He really couldn’t remember anything at all. His memories seemed to have been swept into fragments, but he couldn’t clearly see nor grasp them. There was only a vast, white fog. 

[Look at the good things you did!] The system threw out a video and slapped it on Lu Mo’s face, [I was locked in a small black room, you know?]

Lu Mo responded casually, “Your tone makes it sound like I’d gotten you pregnant.”

The video slowly unfolded. After a moment of snowflake screen, Lu Mo saw himself. The him in the video angrily opened the fitting room door, rushing in.

He roughly pressed Ling on the seat. 

He kissed Ling tyrannically—

He opened Ling’s spiritual sea forcefully!!

Oe Zb ribkis ijlv vbkc, qeiilcu eq atf delia ab mbnfg tlwrfio.

Heat rapidly climbed up his cheeks, it made under the blanket suffocating. Even so, Lu Mo grabbed the blanket and pressed it to his face, crying out silently: What had he done!!! 

CLLLL—

[Do you realize your mistake now?] The system said angrily, [You, you unruly host, you actually did this kind of thing in front of a minor system. You two must be the kind of husband and wife that will make out in front of children. Bah, how shameless.]

He couldn’t help but recall that when he kissed Ling, the other party had gently followed his movements, letting him do it…

Lu Mo stammered: “I, I really am a scumbag.”

The system: […….] 

“Ahem.” The system didn’t expect him to admit his mistake so quickly, and reluctantly said, [It seems that you have realized your mistake. I hope you won’t do such an intolerable thing in front of me again.]

Lu Mo said bitterly, “Ling was in so much pain, but I feel very happy now. I’m really a scum.”

There was no sign of serious reflection.

The system spoke in a cold voice: [Scum value, deducted by 10.] 

Lu Mo exclaimed: “Why??”

It was then that the door was knocked on and Ling’s voice was heard. “Master, are you awake? May I come in?”

“Come in.”

Ling gently opened the door to the room. The pale-faced male lifted his eyes to glance at him and said arrogantly, “What an unruly zerg, to leave an unconscious male behind and go out happily alone.” 

Ling lowered his eyes silently, he tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth: “Master has misunderstood, I did not go out happily by myself.”

Lu Mo raised his eyebrows: “Huh?”

Ling said in a low voice. “I went out happily with the butler.”

The male nodded solemnly, “So, that’s how it is.” 

The system: […..]

The sequelae didn’t seem to have eased yet, the host’s brain was still not very good.

Ling sat down on the edge of the bed, and handed the bowl he was holding to Lu Mo, “Master, please eat.”

Lu Mo glanced at him dissatisfied: “Do you not see that I am extremely weak right now? You are really such an incompetent female and female monarch.” 

He couldn’t help but stutter a little when he said the word female monarch, two suspicious red clouds floating across his face.

Ling was taken aback for a moment, then he picked up the spoon and stirred the sticky food in the bowl.

His fingers were white and slender, with well-defined knuckles. When he picked up the spoon, the stone utensil lined his round fingernails. Making them look like works of art.

Lu Mo instantly understood King Zhou's joy, no one could deny such a joy, no one!!! 

He lowered his head and took a spoonful from Ling’s hand. The delicate and sticky, mild sweetness spread within his mouth, making his whole body relax.

A smile flashed across the corner of Ling’s mouth: “Is it delicious?”

“Yummy,” Lu Mo sighed. But in the next moment, he coldly grabbed Ling’s hand. He stared dead into Ling’s eyes, “Is that how you fed Song Jianshu too? Watching him, loving him, cooking for him, serving him—”

Ling raised his head, his voice trembling: “Master, you…” 

Out of Lu Mo’s sight, his pupils shrank to the size of needles because of excitement; shudders spread from the soles of his feet throughout his entire body.

Lu Mo, however, felt the shudder, and he didn’t hesitate to take advantage of the situation: “You don’t want to serve me, you don’t want to be near me, but I want you to serve me and stay by my side forever!”

At his words, Ling jerked his hand away. He moved surprisingly fast, like a sturdy cheetah, arriving at the window in a rushed instant.

Lu Mo: ＝口＝ 

Do you mean to jump out of the building and leave? Was the effect really so good?!!

Ling’s right hand pressed on the knife at his waist, his left hand pulling open the curtain: “Who?”

Suddenly, bright sunlight filled the room. Lu Mo blocked some of it with the back of his hand and narrowed his eyes.

A small round face was close to the window, and a black cloak could be seen waving in the air. When he caught sight of Lu Mo, he couldn’t help narrowing his silver pupils and exclaiming happily: “Dear Lord Lu Mo, you woke up!!” 

He held a small handful of white flowers in his hand. They swayed gently in the wind, still stained with wet dew.

They were on the fifth floor.

Lu Mo rushed over with a white face and pulled open the window, tugging at the child’s cloak and pulling him in.

He threw the child on the ground and said angrily, “Why did you come in again? You cheap little boy, I’m going to escort you to the security brigade.” 

The child opened his eyes wide, a light of reverence appearing in his eyes.

His Excellency Lu Mo was indeed very remarkable, he was different from all the males there. No male could be as dignified as him.

Such an emotion was continuously sloshed around in the child’s innocent mind, and Lu Mo’s not-so-tall figure became more and more brilliant in his eyes.

The child hastily rose and straightened his cloak, then said in a solemn tone, “I was profoundly concerned for your health, and picked blessed flowers for you, in the hope of your speedy recovery.” 

He hefted his feet and struggled to raise his arms, trying to pin the flowers to Lu Mo’s breast pocket.

Lu Mo’s whole body was stiff——

He couldn’t cope with this situation at all.

Luckily, Ling helped him out just in time, taking the flowers from the child, “Thank you for your concern.” 

The child’s mouth grew large and stared blankly at Ling.

Ling was holding the flower, his fingers slightly exerting force, and his red eyes darkly sinking.

Lu Mo belonged to him.

Everything that wanted to snatch Lu Mo away from him…. 

A very subtle killing intent slowly accumulated in the room, trembling; the calm before the storm, with a hint of oppression.

The child looked at Ling and then at Lu Mo, his face suddenly flushed as he stammered: “You, you are the female monarch of Lord Lu Mo!”

Ling: “……”

Lu Mo suddenly choked with saliva and turned red. 

Females, female monarch, or whatever!

The boy, however, did not notice the delicate atmosphere, his eyes shining, “Worthy of His Excellency Lu Mo, your female monarch is truly the most powerful warrior I have ever seen. You will surely breed numerous offspring. May the first rays of spring bless you!”

He was once again sure that Lord Lu Mo must be the greatest male zerg.

“Although you are reckless, you have good manners,” the black-haired and green-eyed male raised his chin, stating proudly, “I reluctantly recognize you as my guest. In order not to insult my family honor, I should also show courtesy.” 

He thought for a moment and said, “Please enjoy a nap within my manor for today.”

The child looked nervous and saluted respectfully: “Obedience is better than politeness.”

Lu Mo couldn’t help touching his back with his hand.

From the moment he woke up, he felt an itch in his tailbone, as if something was stirring and trying to break through. 

He knocked on the system: “Am I suffering from prickly heat?”

System: [I think you’re probably going to have a long tail.]

Lu Mo: “……..Am I a monkey?”

The system sneered. 

Lu Mo scratched his back angrily but his hand was held by Ling, who whispered: “Don’t use force, you’ll scratch yourself.”

Ling’s palms were warm. Lu Mo retracted his hands as if he had received an an electric shock, exclaiming in a low voice, “This mere cheap zerg is really getting more lewd and slutty.”

But, the heart is weeping.

It’s me who is lewd and slutty. 

As soon as Ling touched him, he thought of when he kissed him.

Ling’s lips were soft and warm, permeated with the light scent of blood. Yet, he obediently let him do whatever he wanted.

Lu Mo sighed, his tailbone seemed to be getting more and more itchy.
