CH 42

TL: Moonlit

A nightclub filled with lights and wine.

Li Yufeng sat expressionlessly on the sofa, exuding an imperial aura.

He didn’t speak, just glanced coldly at the dozen or so omegas standing in front of him, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.

Some couldn’t even stand straight and wished to kneel down on the spot.

The pheromones emitted by the Imperial Commander were beyond the imaginations of these fragile omegas.

Not to mention these delicate omegas, even ordinary alphas would struggle to withstand the pressure of Li Yufeng’s pheromones.

Although Li Yufeng didn’t intentionally release his pheromones, he was simply sitting there.

But even so, it was already extremely challenging for these omegas.

Rumors had it that the Commander had no interest in omegas, and even detested them.

Yet today, he unexpectedly came here, demanding the highest-ranking omega.

These omegas were nervous, but they couldn’t help feeling instinctive fear in the face of the cold pheromones emanating from the person before them.

However, their eyes shimmered with anticipation.

After all, this person was none other than the Commander of the Empire.

Apart from the King, no one could challenge his position.

If they could gain the favor of the Commander, their future would be limitless.

So, despite their fear, each and every one of them was overwhelmingly excited.

“Commander, this is our finest omega,” respectfully said the nightclub manager, bowing his head.

He pointed at an omega standing in the front row and said to Li Yufeng, “This omega’s pheromones are the cherry flavor specified by the Commander.”

The manager extended his hand and gestured toward the omega. “Xiao Ran, come here.”

A brilliant smile appeared on Xiao Ran’s face.

In the envy-filled gazes of everyone, he walked step by step toward Li Yufeng.

Facing the Commander for the first time, Xiao Ran felt afraid, but he knew it was an opportunity that was hard to come by.

Without waiting for Li Yufeng’s permission, he directly embraced Li Yufeng’s neck and sat on his lap.

Xiao Ran’s eyes carried a confident light as he timidly called out, “Commander.”

The intentionally emitted pheromones instantly permeated the small private room.

It was a sweet, cherry-flavored pheromone.

Confidence radiated from Xiao Ran’s eyes. His pheromones were irresistibly alluring, and no alpha who smelled his pheromones would dislike them.

The Commander, of course, should be no exception.

However, Li Yufeng didn’t show the liking that Xiao Ran had imagined. Instead, he forcefully pushed him away.

Li Yufeng squinted his eyes.

It was as if he had pushed away not an omega, but trash.

An extremely powerful pheromone instantly emanated from Li Yufeng. The aura of that terrifying pressure carried a chilling murderous intent.

Li Yufeng felt inexplicably irritated. Why did the cherry-flavored pheromones on Bai Yu’s body smell so pure and sweet, while the pheromones of the person just now were like something spoiled?

The repulsive and foul odor made him nauseous.

His mind was filled with the image of Bai Yu smiling sweetly at him, saying, “Li Yufeng, I really like you…”

Like.

That disgusting false affection, similar to the pheromones of the person before him, made him sick!

Li Yufeng never showed mercy to traitors.

He agreed to hand Bai Yu over to An Yu because he knew An Yu disliked Bai Yu and would surely punish him severely.

With An Yu’s methods, even if Bai Yu didn’t die, he would lose half his life.

This despicable traitor should be treated like this.

He shouldn’t pay any more attention to him.

Instead, he should make him disappear completely from his life.

However, Li Yufeng didn’t feel any better.

The thought of An Yu treating Bai Yu in that way ignited a wave of inexplicable anger in his heart. It was an unreasonable rage.

—

Xiao Ran turned pale. He had no idea where he went wrong.

He tried hard to approach Li Yufeng again. “Commander…”

Li Yufeng kicked him, roaring, “Get lost!”

Xiao Ran was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

The sight terrified the more timid omegas, who didn’t dare to move.

However, some fearless ones wanted to seize this opportunity to get Li Yufeng’s attention.

“Commander, if you don’t like his scent, you can smell mine…”

Li Yufeng’s gaze turned icy. He narrowed his eyes, grabbed the neck of the omega who attempted to approach him and threw him out of the room.

“Can’t you hear my words? Get lost, all of you!”

Li Yufeng viciously kicked the table in front of him, knocking it over.

An extremely agitated pheromone filled the small room, as if it wanted to crush and kill everyone inside.

In an instant, everyone hurriedly crawled and scrambled out.

—

An Yu looked at the bound Bai Yu, wearing a triumphant smile.

He thought for a moment, then lashed out at him once again with a whip.

Bai Yu remained unconscious and didn’t wake up from the blows.

But even in his unconscious state, the heavy whip caused him to frown in pain.

His face turned incredibly pale, and drops of red blood dripped from the places where the whip had struck.

His once fair skin was now covered in cuts and bruises.

An Yu felt an indescribable satisfaction.

“This damn traitor still wants to fight me? Does he really think that having Li Yufeng’s mark makes him so special? He’ll die by my hands!”

Although An Yu spoke such words,

But as long as he thought about Bai Yu actually sleeping with Li Yufeng, he hated it so much that his teeth itched.

An indescribable anger burned in his heart.

Why should someone like Bai Yu, a spy, be able to have Li Yufeng’s favor?

An Yu’s heart was filled with jealousy.

If Bai Yu wasn’t Earl Bai’s son, if he wasn’t the King’s betrothed to Li Yufeng.

He could have killed him now!

Unfortunately, for now, he could only slowly torture him like this, unable to kill him immediately.

In another month, after a month, they could announce to the outside world that Bai Yu died of illness.

An Yu couldn’t help but laugh, good, let’s torture him slowly until he dies.

—

At that moment.

The prison gate suddenly swung open.

An Yu sneered, “I said no one is allowed in without permission.”

“It’s me.”

Li Yufeng’s voice instantly sounded behind An Yu.

An Yu was startled.

He thought Li Yufeng wouldn’t come.

“Yufeng, why did you come?”

An Yu quickly hid the whip behind him and forced a smile on his face.

He had always been gentle and charming in front of Li Yufeng. How could he show his cruelty just now?

Seeing Li Yufeng’s eyes fixedly looking in Bai Yu’s direction, An Yu quickly said, “Yufeng, rest assured. I will handle this spy. I have even thought of his cause of death. Died of illness, what do you think?”

Cause of death…

Upon hearing these words, Li Yufeng’s heart clenched in pain.

His eyes never left the person in front of him.

Bai Yu’s body was covered in cuts and bruises, blood oozing from his skin drop by drop.

He remained unconscious, showing no signs of waking up. But he was in excruciating pain, covered in cold sweat.

Li Yufeng had never cared about prisoners in jail; they had nothing to do with him even if they were beaten to death.

But he couldn’t help but come.

On his way back from the nightclub, he kept telling himself that he was just going to see the miserable state of this spy.

Just that.

But now, looking at Bai Yu like this, he felt no sense of satisfaction from revenge; instead, it pained him greatly.

“Yufeng, what do you think of my proposal?”

An Yu’s voice continued to prattle on.

“Recently, the research institute has developed a drug that, when taken, will make a person appear sick, their condition deteriorating until they die completely. It should take about a month. I think it’s good. I’ll go get this drug in a few days.”

An Yu spoke casually, as if discussing what to eat for dinner.

But Li Yufeng’s face had turned completely dark.

He did hate Bai Yu, hated his betrayal.

But he had never wanted Bai Yu to die!

Die…

Li Yufeng shook his head.

No.

He didn’t want Bai Yu to die!

He couldn’t bear to see Bai Yu weaken little by little until death.

Couldn’t bear to see this person, who liked to curl up in his arms like a little cat, disappear from this world…

No.

It can’t happen!

Li Yufeng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He watched Bai Yu frown unconsciously due to the pain, and Li Yufeng involuntarily walked toward him.

“Yufeng!”

An Yu’s voice instantly rang out.

Li Yufeng halted his steps and said, “You should leave first.”

An Yu was almost going mad with anger.

“Li Yufeng, could it be that you don’t want him to die? Don’t forget what he has done. He doesn’t want you dead, but he wants to kill you!”

Li Yufeng’s face instantly darkened.

“An Yu, I know. You should leave! Don’t disobey my orders!”

An Yu gritted his teeth, stomped his foot fiercely, and finally left.

Trembling, Li Yufeng untied the rope that bound Bai Yu and held him in his arms.

Bai Yu’s body was incredibly weak, covered in wounds all over.

Li Yufeng stared at him, feeling both heartbroken and filled with hatred.

If only he weren’t a spy…

“Bai Yu, why did you betray me? Why!”
