When Jiang Zhixia came out of the military council area, her heart was still pounding.

I never imagined that someone as unattainable as Su Chen would have already fallen into my hands!

She blushed slightly and quickened her pace to leave.

At the entrance to the military council area, Lu Jue and others waited beside the hovercar.

Seeing her come out, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went to greet her.

"Princess!"

Jiang Zhixia was naturally led by his hand and got into the car, her tone still a little flustered.

"Let's go, let's go back to the palace."

Lu Jue, sitting in the driver's seat, keenly sensed that something seemed off about her.

He tentatively asked, "Princess, how is Su Chen?"

Jiang Zhixia stammered, "Uh... well, I left him two little white flowers, he'll use them."

She told Su Chen to stabilize his mental energy first, as she needed to consider things and gave him time to think it over.

Lu Jue gripped the steering wheel, a secret, displeased twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Su Chen, that weakling, actually made the princess so concerned that she had to personally come and deliver such precious little white flowers to him!

……

In the lab, all the other researchers had gone out to rest.

Su Chen was the only one sitting in the corner, looking down at the two small white flowers in his palm.

The pure white petals shimmered with silver light, and a familiar fragrance wafted out in wisps.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Laughter echoed through the empty research room, tinged with barely suppressed excitement.

Great……

The princess did not refuse him.

She told him to think it over and decide whether he wanted to enter into a contract with her.

What's there to think about? He wished he could be tied to the princess for life.

They even felt that simply entering into a contract was not enough.

He lowered his head, took a deep sniff of the fragrance of the white flowers, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with infatuation.

"Princess……"

……

Lu Jue was very jealous.

Su Chen ended up eating and taking four of the little white flowers that he himself was reluctant to eat!

That male deer is far too cunning!

So, back in the side hall of the palace, Jiang Zhixia was pushed onto the bed, completely bewildered.

When she looked up, Lu Jue had already climbed up with a stern face, deliberately showing his wolf ears and tail, and rubbing against her affectionately.

She was both amused and exasperated, and reached out to pinch the two animal ears that were tempting her.

"Then... I'll give you two too?"

Lu Jue lay in her arms, shook his head upon hearing this, and his tail swished restlessly back and forth.

"I do not want."

The princess said that the little flower is a reserve of spiritual energy; if he eats one, the princess's spiritual energy will be depleted by one unit.

He took a deep breath and said in a muffled, aggrieved voice, "I'm not that ridiculously weak male, I don't need that."

Jiang Zhixia felt a little itchy from his rubbing, and her lips twitched when she heard his evaluation of Su Chen.

In terms of rank and physical fitness, Lu Jue was absolutely right.

She rubbed the ear in her hand and teased him, "So what do you want?"

Lu Jue was enjoying the tingling sensation coming from the back of his ear. Just as he was about to speak, his nose suddenly wrinkled.

Ok?

Why does the princess smell so strongly of Su Chen?

Why is that guy so close to the princess?!

Jiang Zhixia saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and was about to lift his head to take a look when she suddenly felt a pain in her waist.

"ah--!"

She shouted out unexpectedly.

Upon hearing her cry of pain, Lu Jue immediately released her and tenderly reached out to rub her sore spot.

He looked up at her with innocent eyes, his wolf ears twitching.

Jiang Zhixia was furious. She slapped him on the forehead and laughed, scolding, "Wow, Lu Jue, you've got guts to bite me now?!"

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

Lu Jue realized that she wasn't really angry, so he immediately climbed up the ladder.

He pushed the female down onto the bed, looking at her with burning eyes.

"My lady—I want this."

"Wh-what?"

When he called her "Mistress," Jiang Zhixia almost didn't react.

When she realized what he wanted, she hurriedly patted his chest in alarm.

"Close, close the curtains!"

"Splash—"

The curtains were violently pulled shut, swayed slightly a few times, and then remained still.

……

"Damn it, big brother, how can that bastard Mu Huaye hide so well?!"

Jiang Huai emerged from a slum, covered in dust and dirt, and vigorously wiped the dust off his face.

The surrounding lower-class residents watched them cautiously, not daring to breathe.

Jiang Ting also walked out from the other side, his eyes icy cold.

The entire Central City has been searched thoroughly, but not a single trace of Mu Huaye has been found.

That's so weird.

How could a male snake-like creature from the Federation hide so well in the Central City? Is he really that familiar with the Central City?

Seeing his elder brother's unpleasant expression, Jiang Huai stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and advised, "Brother, you just came back from the Zerg, go and rest first, I'll find him."

Jiang Ting said calmly, "No need, continue searching."

How could he possibly let a male who posed a potential threat to Jiang Zhixia roam freely while he went to rest?

Jiang Huai knew he couldn't persuade his elder brother, so he could only sigh and lead his men deeper inside.

The person they were looking for was not in the slums at that moment.

Mu Huaye has already infiltrated the palace.

Thanks to his time in the Central City in his previous life, he knew the patrol routes of the palace guards and various security systems like the back of his hand.

With his SS-level absolute control over mental power, he sneaked in almost effortlessly.

He walked silently into the night.

They evaded the patrolling guards and finally stopped outside a side hall.

He looked up and glanced at it.

Jiang Zhixia should live here.

He slowly crept to the window, but the curtains were drawn tightly shut, so he couldn't see anything.

Just as he was about to kick it away, he suddenly stopped.

"Who goes there?!"

A roar accompanied by a sharp gust of wind came from the side!

Mu Huaye's pupils contracted slightly, and he spun around quickly, narrowly avoiding the attack.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, stared intently at him.

A silver-haired boy emerged from the darkness, shirtless, the contract mark on his chest faintly visible. His body was tense, poised to strike.

"Who are you? You infiltrated the palace with the intention of harming the princess?!"

Mu Huaye narrowed his eyes.

Lu Jue?

He glanced at the guy's upper body and, unsurprisingly, saw an ambiguous mark on his chest.

Tsk tsk, in his past life, this guy was the most loyal dog by the side of the real princess. In this life, he's become the husband of Jiang Zhixia, the fake princess.

It seems like she's quite favored?

Lu Jue's voice was filled with anger as he coldly asked, "What do you want to do, sneaking into the princess's bedchamber in the middle of the night?"

Mu Huaye smiled but didn't say anything.

The two faced off for less than a second before moving at the same time!

"Bang--!"

Fists and feet collided, producing a muffled thud.

After a few moves, Mu Huaye quickly retreated, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The strength of this mental power is... SS-level?!

This wolf cub was only S-rank until his death in his previous life, how come he's only SS-rank in this life?
