Jiang Zhixia slept very soundly.

Even in her sleep, she could feel that the big white flower seemed especially happy, the whole flower was extremely excited, and even the little white flowers all over the ground swayed happily with it.

It was as if he had received something wonderful, and he was so happy he was almost about to speak.

She was swept up in this emotion and had many bizarre and fantastical dreams.

My dream was filled with flowers, a vast expanse of silvery-white blossoms stretching from one end of the star field to the other, even illuminating the entire dark battlefield.

Then she woke up.

The moment Jiang Zhixia opened her eyes, she was stunned.

She slowly sat up and looked down at her hands.

Not tired.

Not tired at all.

She was even more surprised when she glanced at the time again.

I only slept for less than four hours.

The weakness that had been drained by the teleportation had completely dissipated, and his limbs were full of strength, making him feel unusually energetic.

"What's going on...?"

She muttered something to herself and sensed the large white flower.

Deep within my consciousness, the large white flower still stands quietly.

But Jiang Zhixia stared at it for several seconds and felt that something was not quite right.

Why does it seem like... it's gotten bigger?

Not only the large white flowers, but even the silver vines at the base of the plants were thicker than before, twining around the flower stems with a spirited air.

The large white flower sensed her gaze, gently swayed its petals, and the emotion it conveyed was genuine joy.

What's there to be happy about?

Jiang Zhixia probed deeper into her senses, trying to find the reason.

Then she caught a very faint trace of Lu Jue's aura.

...Lu Jue ate it?

That shouldn't be the case.

Lu Jue usually liked to use his mental energy to quietly entangle her while she was asleep, seeking comfort, but now that they were in a period of rest, a battle could break out at any time.

As the commander-in-chief, Lu Jue could not afford to be greedy for appeasement at this time and affect his combat operations.

Besides, she has comforted Lu Jue so many times, and she has never made Da Baihua show such obvious "growth" before!

【…】

In the corner of consciousness, the system dared not utter a sound.

It watched as the big white flower grew even bigger, and it was so angry that it couldn't speak.

Absorbing Mo Chenyuan's luck was unexpected, but it did provide it with a lot of energy.

It had just been happily planning to gather energy to escape Jiang Zhixia's control—this flower!—when it ruthlessly absorbed all that energy!

It's infuriating!

Jiang Zhixia didn't notice the system and looked down to count on her fingers.

She worried that Lu Jue might be in his most vulnerable period and couldn't resist eating with her.

But judging by the dates, it's not during the most vulnerable period.

It had been quite a while since she had given Lu Jue a deep reassurance, but she still replenished the beastmen's supply of white flowers every few days, almost without interruption.

If it's not his vulnerable period, what's wrong with Lu Jue?

Jiang Zhixia rolled over and got out of bed.

With less than two hours until the next reorganization before the battle, she needed to find Lu Jue and check on his condition.

I'll also go check on how the mech repairs are going.

……

Lu Jue is indeed not in good condition right now.

He waited until the princess fell asleep, but he couldn't bear to lie next to her any longer, so he quietly left.

After leaving the lounge, the surging restlessness not only did not subside, but intensified.

He walked forward with his head down, pondering whether he should ask Su Chen for an inhibitor or just tough it out.

As I turned the corner, I bumped into someone.

"Ugh—"

Lu Jue took a step back, looked up, and his face instantly turned even uglier.

Ning Yi was rubbing his shoulder where he had been bumped, his long, silvery-white hair loosely tied behind his head.

Upon seeing who had bumped into him, he not only wasn't angry, but also smiled and greeted them in a cheerful mood.

"Oh dear, Major General Lu? Where are you rushing off to?"

Lu Jue didn't want to pay attention to him and was about to walk past him.

Ning Yi stopped him.

"I heard from Jiang Ting that she used teleportation and is very tired now. Didn't you take her to rest?"

"...She is indeed resting. Don't disturb her. We have to fight again in a few hours."

"I know, I know, I meant, what are you doing here? Aren't you with her?"

"Oh...I have something to do."

"……Yeah?"

Ning Yi originally wanted to inquire about Jiang Zhixia's condition, but upon hearing this, he narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was amiss.

"Major General Lu, why do you look so pale?"

Lu Jue waved his hand at him irritably and said casually, "It's none of your business, go do your thing."

But Ning Yi wasn't so easily appeased.

He stepped in front of Lu Jue, looked at him carefully, and a knowing look flashed in his eyes.

"Oh~" he lowered his voice and chuckled mischievously, "Is your sensitive period here?"

I had sensed Lu Jue was impatient before, and now I understand.

This wolf cub's mental energy is so suppressed it's about to explode; it's definitely in its vulnerable period.

Lu Jue's ears suddenly burned.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance, looked at the fox blocking his way, and lowered his voice: "Don't tell her! I can handle it myself!"

Ning Yi crossed his arms and tilted his head.

During Lu Jue's vulnerable period, did he not seek comfort from Jiang Zhixia?

Haha, I won't meddle. If I tell Jiang Zhixia, she'll feel sorry for this little wolf cub.

"Don't worry, I won't tell her. She's exhausted right now, why would she need to spare any energy to comfort you?"

Lu Jue was already irritable, and these words provoked him so much that his face turned even uglier.

He clenched his fists, suppressing his surging agitation, and turned to leave.

Ning Yi asked slowly, "Where are we going?"

"Find Su Chen and get the inhibitor!"

"...inhibitor?"

Ning Yi frowned slightly as he watched Lu Jue's hurried departure.

Didn't you just say you were going to carry it yourself?

So you can't resist using inhibitors?

He hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked away with light steps.

Lu Jue is one of Jiang Zhixia's beast husbands. When a beast husband's sensitive period arrives, it is normal for the female partner not to want to waste her mental energy to soothe him, so the beast husband chooses to use inhibitors to get through the sensitive period.

He doesn't want to cause trouble.

Ning Yi took a deep breath, a smile returning to his face; he was still in a very good mood.

He had just had a smooth communication with the Queen.

The female queen didn't have a good impression of him at first. After all, the reputation of the Dark Street was well-known, and no female would look down on a male from the Dark Street.

Jiang Zhixia said that His Majesty has approved his application to become a legal husband.

The reason why the application has not been approved must lie with the female queen.

So he sincerely told the Queen that he would be in charge of investigating the females' disappearances, and then gave a detailed account of the intelligence network currently available in the Federation, and repeatedly assured that all investigation results would be reviewed by the Royal Family.

The queen's attitude indeed softened considerably.

Although his status as the legal husband wasn't directly mentioned, it at least improved the impression somewhat.

Now, he's going to find Jiang Zhixia!
