The Heroic Master Is Tough-Talking but Soft-Hearted: The Aloof Major General Has Fallen - Chapter 34

“Mmh?”

Only when Asher’s ability to think had declined would he dare to openly go against him like this.

At such close range, the female insect’s mutterings, like the buzzing of a mosquito, still reached his ears. Cen Li’s gaze turned dark and inscrutable.

Asher was right. As a scum male lead who was constantly urged by the system to gain humiliation points from his target, Cen Li could not openly protect Asher. He was destined to torment him and cause him pain and resentment.

Cen Li said nothing more. He reached out again toward Asher’s forehead. Predicting the female insect’s movement, he said, “Do not hide.”

Pheromones flowed continuously through the skin contact. The Master was releasing soothing pheromones for him. Asher realized this fact a beat late. Having passed out last time and missed the feeling of this process, Asher’s eyes widened slightly. Being stared at by those two round eyes, Cen Li thought Asher looked a bit cute in his dazed state.

The Master would actually take the initiative to relieve his discomfort during his heat? He had thought the Master would simply ignore it.

“Thank you.”

“Shut up.”

The system noticed Cen Li’s actions and kept trying to stop him. Cen Li ignored it, but eventually, being annoyed by the noise, he snapped back. The insect before him seemed to have misunderstood something. Thinking the Master found him annoying, his body trembled and he pressed his lips tightly shut.

Cen Li’s eyes were deep and somber. Asher’s body was like a funnel. A large amount of pheromones was being pumped in, yet it felt as if they were falling into a void.

The natural instinct of a female insect to crave pheromones made Asher unconsciously lean toward the Master. Cen Li watched the female’s small movements and did not stop him, which made Asher’s actions bolder. Soon, nearly half of his body was leaning against Cen Li. From a distance, it looked as if he were being held in Cen Li’s arms.

At times like this, this female insect certainly knows how to take advantage, Cen Li thought to himself.

“Is it still not better?”

Having maintained this posture for a long time, Cen Li’s wrist was starting to feel sore, but Asher’s condition had only improved slightly and was not fully resolved.

Cen Li inquired with the system. Because Cen Li had ignored it earlier, the system waited a while before replying.

“The drug Mikhail mixed into the wine stimulated Asher’s heat and aggravated his original symptoms. Simply releasing soothing pheromones is no longer effective.”

“Then what should be done?”

The system said, “Exchanging bodily fluids would work. For example, the concentration of pheromones in saliva is very high.”

That would mean kissing!

Cen Li could not help but look at the female insect in front of him. The Master’s question made Asher think Cen Li was becoming impatient. He lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within. “Master, you do not need to release any more pheromones. I will just take a shot of inhibitor.”

The system added, “In the Major General’s current state, the effect of an inhibitor would be negligible.”

Cen Li’s gaze drifted downward, landing on lips that Asher had unconsciously bitten until they were glistening.

He replied in his mind, “You kept stopping me when I was just releasing soothing pheromones, and now you are telling me to kiss him?”

The system fell silent. “I certainly do not recommend doing so. I am simply stating the facts.”

“Is there any other way?”

The system said slowly, “Mental tentacles. Female insects all have mental tentacles. These are the most hidden parts of their bodies and are not easily revealed. The host can use mental power to soothe them. I can send you the specific data.”

After the system finished speaking, a segment of memory appeared in Cen Li’s mind. This kind of mental therapy was similar to a soul bond; it was a very private and intimate method of treatment. Very few insects would do this for a female.

Seeing that the Master had not spoken for a long time, Asher took Cen Li’s silence as agreement. He prepared to go see if Yero had brought the inhibitor.

“Master, then I shall take my leave.”

Asher stood up straight. Their tangled clothes slid apart, and the scent of pheromones became faint. A sense of loss flickered in his heart. Cen Li suddenly grabbed his hand, pulling the insect who had already reached the door back to his side.

“Where do you think you are going in this state?”

Asher’s eyes were moist and red. Anyone who saw him would know exactly what the female insect was going through. Asher’s wrist was held tight, and the cool temperature of the male was transmitted to him. He looked back at the Master in confusion.

“Come back,” Cen Li said, his voice low.

He was a human from Earth, not a real insect, so there was nothing for him to avoid. In Cen Li’s view, this was better than kissing or deep union, provided the system was telling the truth.

“Open your mental domain in a moment. Do not resist the entry of my mental power. Understood?”

The mental domain was equivalent to an insect’s spiritual core. It was a very private place that would naturally resist the intrusion of external mental power, potentially even triggering physical stress responses. Cen Li was not sure if Asher would resist him.

Hearing this, Asher nodded.

Cen Li calmed his mind and mobilized his mental power to search for that territory that had never been reached by another insect. His mental power focused. Found it, he thought.

The next second, the newly formed mental power was bounced back by an attack. Cen Li’s brow furrowed. Asher’s expression became panicked and regretful. “Did I not tell you to relax?”

“I am sorry, Master. I could not control it.”

The system could not help but remind him, “Host, doing it like this will only make Asher’s body more guarded.”

Cen Li looked at Asher, whose back was stiff with tension. After two seconds, he patted the military insect’s waist and softened his voice. “Relax.”

The Master’s voice was steady and powerful. Asher adjusted his breathing according to Cen Li’s rhythm. Cen Li watched the female’s state closely. Seeing that he was ready, he mobilized his mental power once more. This time, it went much more smoothly than before.
