The Delicate Sweet Top is Always Targeted by the Villain [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 11

“Of course, that’s fine.”

A series of gasps erupted among the surrounding female Zergs. Some were filled with envy and jealousy, while others were simply flushed with racing heartbeats. How could they be witnessing such a scene for free?!

The young male Zerg lord opened his arms wide without any hesitation. Seeming to feel that it still wasn’t close enough, he shuffled forward a bit more, tucking his entire body into the small space against his consort’s chest.

“Is this hug okay?”

He looked up as he spoke, his breath—cool and faint—drifting against the consort’s long, swan-like neck.

The female Zergs peeking from the sidelines had completely forgotten their previous pain. Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at Tong Sui. A surge of heat rushed to their heads; they couldn’t help but cross their legs, suppressing the bouts of agitation in their wings. Those with lower self-control had already started to manifest their Zerg markings.

How can such a cute male Zerg lord exist!

Wuwuwu, why did I have to bump into this, only able to look but unable to touch even for a second?

If they could be scolded by him, or even gifted a single glance, they would probably be so happy they’d want to die on the spot.

Tong Sui’s gaze fell upon the side of Bai Xingluo’s neck. He realized for the first time that the other’s skin was very fair—much fairer than an ordinary military female despite years of training—and as delicate as mutton-fat jade. And right under his gaze, that patch of skin gradually began to bloom with a faint pink, like a blush seeping into watercolor paper.

Even his neck had turned red.

The temperature in the mall was quite comfortable; he hadn’t expected Bai Xingluo to be so hot. He heard Bai Xingluo’s voice, raspy and deep, coming from above his head, and watched as the other’s Adam’s apple rolled interestingly.

“Master, this bed is very comfortable.”

“Mhm, then let’s get this one.” Tong Sui pondered for a moment before whispering in a volume only they could hear, “But if we get two beds, wouldn’t that be a bit suspicious?”

Surely there wouldn’t be any newlyweds who choose to sleep in separate rooms? If they were caught on such a small detail, it would be a real headache.

However… Tong Sui had good sleep quality, but Bai Xingluo, who usually disliked the proximity of male Zergs, might be put in a difficult position. Bai Xingluo was often very tense around him, like an over-reactive big cat.

Still, Tong Sui was quite well-behaved when he slept, and the bed was large enough for several of him to lie down; he shouldn’t touch the other man, right? If not, he could always sleep on the floor.

As Tong Sui was considering how to bring it up, he heard a cold, low voice respond—

“You make a very good point. Let’s just get one.”

Huh? Tong Sui was slightly stunned. He even doubted he had heard wrong. Did Bai Xingluo agree so easily? According to the original descriptions, if a male Zerg so much as touched his sleeve—no matter how dear the person was—he would fiercely discard the garment. Yet he agreed so readily to sleep with him?

Tong Sui checked the price on his optical computer and gasped. This was such a rip-off. The price of the bed far exceeded his imagination; the pathetic amount of Star Coins in his account probably couldn’t even buy one of the bed’s legs.

Before he could consider looking for something cheaper, he heard Bai Xingluo say, “Master, I have already purchased it.”

Tong Sui had forgotten. He was a pauper, but there was a billionaire right next to him. Is this what it feels like to cling to someone successful?

Bai Xingluo’s mood at this moment was the exact opposite of his naturally indifferent exterior; he felt somewhat lightheaded, and his heartbeat frequency had exceeded the normal threshold. From the moment the order was confirmed, he hadn’t expected his own past fantasies to turn into reality so quickly. He was even starting to feel grateful for this so-called “inspection.”

After the order, the furniture store would handle the logistics, and they could choose the delivery time—very convenient. Afterward, they chose a sofa and some decorative soft furnishings. As for the basics, like smart robots and household appliances, the villa was already fully equipped, so they didn’t need to worry.

StarNet had been incredibly lively lately. Especially after Bai Xingluo was acquitted, a wave of fervor had broken out, yet neither party had responded directly. It wasn’t until someone daring finally took a photo and posted it on the forums.

[Family, look and cherish it. I risked being beaten to death by the Admiral to take this.]

The blurry photos couldn’t stop everyone from wanting to be in the know. In no time, this post became the #1 trending topic on the entire StarNet.

[Does such a male Zerg really exist in real life?! Is this a romance drama where they’re shopping for furniture as newlyweds building a love nest?]

[I’m so jealous I’m going to turn sour. Bai Xingluo is truly getting blessings out of a misfortune. If I were gifted such a cute male Zerg lord, I’d go to jail in a heartbeat.]

[What kind of ancient-level photography technology is this? Even with such low pixels, you can still see Tong Sui’s beauty. I’m definitely saving this to stare at.]

[Family, I’m obsessed.]

[Yes! New material! I’ve almost worn out the few minutes of the live stream.]

[Can the poster tell us, is he really that good-looking? What does it feel like to see him in person? He was already stunning on the live stream.]

[Replying to the above: I can only say he’s even more transcendent in person! Seeing him a few more times makes my legs go weak, and I want to kneel. Sadly, the Admiral’s possessiveness is too strong; we couldn’t get close, and we were almost flattened by his mental power.]

[Help! Is such an excellent male Zerg really not considering finding more consorts to lay Zerg eggs? I’m the first to sign up.]

[Family, if I camp out in this neighborhood, do I have a chance?]

…

Inside the opulent Duke Lu Ting’s mansion:

A group of female Zergs knelt, holding high-end wine trays, their clothes revealing, their heads bowed in fear and timidity. Several elegantly dressed male Zergs leaned lazily on the sofa, cigars in hand, while their other hands carelessly draped over charming sub-females.

“It seems the little male Zerg Bai Xingluo found is quite the hot topic lately,” a male Zerg wearing the robes of a prince snickered, projecting the photo from his optical computer. “Tsk tsk, look at this photo—no wonder those females have gone crazy.”

Another loose-living male Zerg chimed in, “Prince Lu Yuanzhao, to be honest, even as a male, I’m interested in trying it out.”

“Haha, aren’t you afraid that Admiral will fight you to the death?” Lu Yuanzhao looked meaningfully toward Lu Ting, who was not far away, teasing, “Isn’t there a ready-made case right here? Lu Ting, does your hand still hurt?”

Lu Ting lowered his eyes, a streak of ruthlessness flashing through them as the veins on the back of his hand tightened. How could these ignorant, incompetent fools understand?

He had indeed had designs on Bai Xingluo at the beginning, but that was based on the other’s outstanding appearance, and more importantly, his individual ability and status. Bai Xingluo was beautiful, but this beauty wasn’t fragile like a sub-female; it was a cold, sharp dignity honed in bloody battles, which easily triggered a male’s desire to conquer. Who wouldn’t want to fold this rose into their arms?

Not to mention, Bai Xingluo’s status was very special, the only serving Admiral in the Empire, with almost the entire legion following his orders. In every way, he was a very advantageous pawn for him to use. He wanted to seize the throne from the aging Zerg Emperor in a legitimate manner, and for that, he needed not only the support of a high-born royal female but also the military’s support.

Lu Ting wouldn’t have minded the other being his lover, or even a consort. But Bai Xingluo was completely immovable; not only did he ignore his gestures of goodwill, he even dared to hit him. He had thought that after this ordeal, Bai Xingluo would at least restrain himself a little, but he hadn’t expected him to degenerate even further, actually becoming head-over-heels for a guy with only D-grade mental power.

Although this wasn’t in his plans, it was just as well. The more Bai Xingluo cared for that D-grade male Zerg, the easier he was to manipulate.

Lu Ting suppressed his intense emotions, and when he looked up, he answered calmly, “Thank you for your concern, Prince. It’s already fine.”

“That’s good. Just don’t get trapped in it,” Lu Yuanzhao reached out to hook a wine glass from the tray. “He’s just a military female; what kind can’t you find?”

Crash!

Glass shards covered the floor along with spilled scarlet liquid. The female Zerg holding the tray knelt to the side, trembling. “S-sorry, Prince! This criminal deserves to die!”

“Tsk.”

Lu Yuanzhao looked at the speck of red on his princely robes and kicked the Zerg on the head. “Can’t even hold a tray—what’s the point of you being alive?”

The Zerg fell into the pile of broken glass, head bloodied, with shocking scratches across exposed skin. He dared not stop begging for mercy, bowing his head frantically on the ground. “This criminal was wrong! Please appease your anger!”

“Is this who you trained?” Lu Yuanzhao looked at Lu Ting, chin slightly raised. “It seems you can’t even handle Bai Xingluo, and you can’t even teach a mere female Zerg.”

Upon hearing this, the female Zerg turned to curl up in front of Lu Ting. “My Lord, this criminal truly knows his wrong! This criminal didn’t mean to offend the Prince!”

Lu Ting showed no pity. He kicked the Zerg away and said coldly, “Drag him out and execute him.”

As the Zerg was dragged away, Lu Yuanzhao’s expression softened, and he reached out to pat his shoulder. “Don’t think too much into it; I didn’t mean to blame you. It’s getting late; if we don’t return, the Emperor will blame us.”

“Let’s go, everyone.”

The group of male Zergs rose lazily, embracing their sub-females as they all departed, leaving only a mess behind. Lu Ting’s temples pulsed with visible veins; he could no longer hide the thick, dark gloom in his eyes.

This Lu Yuanzhao, who had only obtained the position of heir because he was a male, actually dared to order him around. If he were stripped of that identity, he would be nothing but useless trash. He wouldn’t let him be smug for too long. He would sweep away everything that dared to stand in his way, one by one.

Lu Ting supported his still-healing right hand, his eyes filled with thick, treacherous shadows, and he said to his subordinate: “For that upcoming celebration banquet, send two invitations to Admiral Bai Xingluo from the old folks at the Tribunal.”
