CH 46

Xiao Zhenyun felt that Si Di had taken him quite a distance. The posture shifted from initially carrying a sack to a horizontal hug, and later, it became the most relaxed piggyback. The sentry’s stamina was indeed remarkable; Tian Lu couldn’t keep up and voluntarily entered the spiritual domain. Si Di, still full of energy, leaped and hopped with a tall man on his back.

To be honest, Xiao Zhenyun was holding back a stream of curses. Unfortunately, his mouth was gagged with coarse cloth, forcing him to endure it, feeling like he was about to explode. Si Di might have sensed the brewing anger radiating from Xiao Zhenyun. He patted the thigh he was holding reassuringly, “We’re almost there…”

Considering Xiao Zhenyun’s lack of sensation in the lower limbs, the patting occurred a bit higher. It coincidentally touched something furry and soft, brushing against Si Di’s fingertips. With a thought, he directly seized the palm-sized, upward-curled deer tail, giving it a firm rub.

“!” Xiao Zhenyun’s eyes widened in shock, and he began struggling uncontrollably, “Mm…Uh-uh!”

He swore he was cursing vividly, but no one could understand.

“Don’t move recklessly; you might fall.” Si Di mischievously teased, grabbing the leaf-shaped, fluffy tail again, squeezing it with his five fingers, and only reluctantly letting go, re-supporting Xiao Zhenyun’s legs.

“Uh-huh!”

Feeling Xiao Zhenyun’s helpless rage, Si Di suppressed a laugh. His wolf ears atop his head kept moving, as he pretended to maintain a nonchalant, tough attitude, “What’s wrong with a little touch? You’ve pinched my tail so many times; why shouldn’t I get to touch yours?”

Before the words settled, he vaguely sensed a spiritual whip breaking through the mist, relentlessly lashing outside his spiritual domain barrier. If Xiao Jingfeng’s spiritual power was like a thunderous hammer, capable of clouding the consciousness of any sentinel, Xiao Zhenyun’s spiritual power was similar to a balloon-shaped foam bat sold at the supermarket entrance. It not only didn’t hurt when struck but also had the miraculous effect of relaxing muscles.

But to preserve the guide’s pride, Si Di still made a theatrical sound, “Ah, it hurts, it hurts…”

No technique, only emotions.

Of course, Xiao Zhenyun could hear the perfunctory tone. After a few seconds of silence, he angrily yelled, “%***%￥##￥Gf)!!”

Mental grooming? To hell with mental grooming! He’d go back and revise his spiritual attacks!

After an undefined amount of time, he felt Si Di’s pace slowing down. Unable to see anything, Xiao Zhenyun’s hearing and smell became exceptionally acute. He heard the sound of shoe soles treading on soil and grass, and caught a scent he couldn’t quite describe—like the essence of broken flowers and plants, a refreshing aroma.

Si Di slowly lowered him. The sensation of being completely unable to control his own movements wasn’t pleasant at all. However, Xiao Zhenyun didn’t want to show any weakness. He furrowed his brow slightly, gripping Si Di’s clothes in silence until he confirmed landing on a smooth surface. Only then did he secretly exhale, gradually releasing his grip.

A soft laughter reached his ears, seemingly capturing every uneasy movement he made.

Xiao Zhenyun couldn’t be bothered to curse anymore, sitting coldly in place, radiating a low-pressure atmosphere.

Si Di knew that if he continued pushing like this, he would eventually go too far. Immediately, he moved, using the alloy mask as a barrier, gently brushing against Xiao Zhenyun’s cheek. It was like a soothing kiss, accompanied by a gentle voice, “Thirsty? Let me get you something to drink.”

“…”

“Forget it…” Si Di quickly and quietly removed the coarse cloth from Xiao Zhenyun’s mouth. Xiao Zhenyun felt a sharp ache in his jaw, frowned, licked away the saliva at the corner of his mouth, and coldly said, “Throw away the cloth!”

There was a lot of his saliva on it, and this sentinel shouldn’t get any advantage.

“Sure, sure.” Si Di contentedly sniffed the rich scent of the guide element on the fabric. Taking advantage of Xiao Zhenyun’s inability to see, he licked the cloth in front of him, and the guide element, most compatible with him, immediately smoothed his restless emotions. Si Di then folded the fabric twice and put it into his sleeve pocket.

Xiao Zhenyun, who heard every detail of the other’s actions, “…”

Sentinels indeed had a bit of pervertness in them by nature.

Probably as a return favor, Si Di left for a while, not too far away though. Xiao Zhenyun heard the sound of cutting not far away, as if Si Di was peeling tree bark. The scent of plant juices immediately lingered around his nose.

During this time, Xiao Zhenyun tried to use old tricks, attempting to free his wrists from the coarse rope. But no matter how red his wrists became, the knot remained tight. Xiao Zhenyun even rebelliously considered breaking his thumb to loosen the bindings but quickly thought… was he really going to go that far?

After all, he was just a pitiful and innocent, yet beautiful commoner…

Soon, Si Di turned around and sat leisurely beside him, but showed no intention of untying him. Instead, he brought something close to Xiao Zhenyun’s lips and said softly, “Be careful… open your mouth.”

Instinctively, Xiao Zhenyun pursed his lips, turning his face away, and asked irritably, “How long do you plan to keep playing?”

Si Di didn’t bother to respond. “Since you refuse to drink on your own, I’ll have to feed you.”

“…” Xiao Zhenyun immediately changed his tune. “I’ll drink.”

Si Di: “…”

Si Di: “Since you stubbornly refuse to drink…”

“…” Xiao Zhenyun heard the sound of the mouth guard being removed and the rustling of clothes. Si Di probably had brought the leaf-shaped container to his lips and taken a sip. Why could this bite-proof mask be removed at will? Not scientific!

Xiao Zhenyun couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “If you want a kiss, just do it. Don’t find these messy excuses…”

As he spoke, a pair of flexible and hot lips pressed against his own, carrying the fresh and sweet scent of tree branches. Xiao Zhenyun intentionally tightly pursed his lips, refusing to obediently kiss Si Di. Unexpectedly, this cunning wolf played dirty. His hand reached around Xiao Zhenyun’s waist, grabbing his deer tail that he had tucked away. Si Di’s palm and fingertips, calloused from years of holding guns, gripped the soft deer tail with an unusual gentleness. The sensation was like a spark-filled, blue transparent electric current, splitting from the tailbone to the scalp.

Xiao Zhenyun couldn’t help but burst into laughter, spraying tree sap all over Si Di’s face. Enduring the goosebumps, he scolded angrily, “Didn’t I say it? Don’t mess with my fusion state.”

Si Di, dripping with water, “…”

Si Di seemed to hurt the enemy by a thousand, but he was hurt by eight hundred. 

Xiao Zhenyun felt he gained a lot of blood from this exchange, and smirked, “…”

Tai Ji gracefully leaped from mid-air, making quite an entrance. The sound of his sharp claws hitting the ground upon landing was particularly pronounced. Although Xiao Zhenyun wasn’t sure of Si Di’s intention in releasing Tai Ji at this moment, he immediately followed suit by summoning Tian Lu, just in case Tai Ji decided to go on a rampage.

Of course, as it turned out, he was overthinking it.

Si Di bent down towards Tian Lu, but before he could say anything, the silly deer swung its tongue, washing Si Di’s face. Unsatisfied after the face wash, it insisted on giving Si Di a head wash.

Tai Ji quickly grasped the situation, placed its front paws on Xiao Zhenyun’s knees, and used its rough tongue to lick away the sap on Xiao Zhenyun’s chin. After tasting it, Tai Ji found it surprisingly sweet, so it politely started washing Xiao Zhenyun’s face. The gentle movements carried a wild undertone, making Xiao Zhenyun feel like at any moment, Tai Ji might just bite his entire head off.

Xiao Zhenyun, who was being licked into a disheveled state, “…”

Five minutes later, Tai Ji lay next to Tian Lu, lifting its head for Tian Lu to lick the fur under its jaw. Its ears twitched slightly, and occasionally, it would playfully swing its tail left and right.

Xiao Zhenyun took a sip of tree sap with his head slightly lowered. “Sweet.”

“Isn’t it delicious?” Si Di smiled. “When I found this place, I thought it would be great if you were here. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, I saw the description of the civilian in the new mission, and it unexpectedly had ‘beautiful’ added in front of the adjectives. Besides you, I really can’t think of anyone else who would be teased like this in such a training exercise.”

“Yeah… it’s delicious,” Xiao Zhenyun nodded. “So, here’s the question: when are you going to untie me?”

“Want some more to drink?”

“…Then at least remove the blindfold covering my face.”

“No.” Finally, Si Di gave a straightforward answer. He stood in front of Xiao Zhenyun, looking down at the long-haired man. He seemed completely unaware of his own dilemma, tempting someone to do something naughty.

“Do you know how you look right now? … Sexy as hell.”

Saying this, Si Di kissed Xiao Zhenyun again, this time on the corner of his lips. Being close to a guide during a period of mental instability brings great comfort to a sentinel, and Si Di couldn’t resist embracing him, affectionately kissing him on the forehead, temples, and side of his face… planting fleeting kisses everywhere, like animals showing affection to their companions. He even rubbed his face against Xiao Zhenyun’s, acting cute while leaving a trail of kisses.

Being rubbed to the point of discomfort, Xiao Zhenyun muttered, “Si Di… There are surveillance cameras in the air…”

As he finished speaking, a muffled gunshot echoed. Si Di, now with a slightly hoarse voice, whispered in his ear, “Not anymore.”

“…”

Although the flight monitor issue was resolved, Si Di hadn’t reached the point of doing anything truly outrageous in this place. He rested his forehead against Xiao Zhenyun’s shoulder, took a deep breath to regain composure, but still felt something was missing. Si Di pinched the restraint bracelet on his wrist and then looked up, biting Xiao Zhenyun’s earlobe, “Give me some guide elements.”

The right ear quickly reddened under the sentinel’s teasing, presenting an alluring crimson hue.

However, contrary to the rosy hue of the earlobe, Xiao Zhenyun’s face was ice-cold, and his spoken words were as firm as iron, “Get lost.”

Si Di: “…”

He had gone too far.

The silver-haired sentinel immediately obediently removed the cloth from Xiao Zhenyun’s eyes and released the ropes from his wrists. The black, long tail behind him wrapped around Xiao Zhenyun’s waist like a snake, pleasingly grasping the wrists that had turned red from the coarse ropes, gently massaging and circling, “I was wrong, I was wrong, don’t be angry.”

The sun had almost set, and Xiao Zhenyun quickly adjusted to the light, opening his eyes with a smoke-blue gaze, glaring at Si Di coldly, “Had enough fun?”

“Had enough.”

“Is it my turn to have some fun now?”

“…”

Si Di nodded with a resigned look.

Xiao Zhenyun, in a deep voice, said, “Speak.”

“Yes!”

“Wrong, say it again.”

After a few seconds of confusion, Si Di realized and showed a somewhat disbelieving expression. Then, seemingly determined, he stood up, loaded the pistol again, shot down two almost hardly noticeable flight monitors, and then half-knelt in front of Xiao Zhenyun, hesitantly beginning, “Woof?”

Xiao Zhenyun raised an eyebrow in surprise but still seemed dissatisfied, “Are you a dog?”

“…” Si Di understood, turned to look at Tai Ji, who promptly stood up and demonstrated, “Awoooo!”

Si Di remained silent for a few seconds, then joined in, “Awoooo!”

Tian Lu excitedly stood up, wagging his tail and shouting, “Yeow yeow!”

Xiao Zhenyun: “…”

Many times, once a person crosses a certain line, they lose all boundaries. The sound of a howl seemed to open some switch in Si Di. He pressed the wrist with the lingering rope marks against his lips, gently kissing it. Xiao Zhenyun lowered his gaze to look at him, meeting a pair of amber-colored eyes. The next second, a kiss fell on Xiao Zhenyun’s eyelids, accompanied by a pleasing voice, “Awooo~”

Damn it, it’s impossible to stay mad.

The beautiful and innocent civilian eventually succumbed to Stockholm syndrome, delivering guide elements to the villainous sentinel with countless crimes. 

However, it was only a small amount; he couldn’t let him be too pleased.

The author has something to say:

Tian Lu: Yeow yeow.

Tai Ji: … What the heck?

Tian Lu: Oh my heavens! The Black Wolf is speaking human language!!

Tai Ji: … Whatever.
