After their ti together, the man was no longer the numb, hollow person he’d been when he first entered the asylum.
His eyes were bright, his face determined, and he looked at her, full of expectation.
Yu Lan froze.
It was the first ti she had ever been confessed to by an adult man, and she was utterly flustered. Afraid of saying the wrong thing and hurting his feelings, she grew increasingly cautious and uncertain.
"Lieu... Lieutenant Du, I’m sorry. Right now, I’m... I’m temporarily not considering anything like that."
"I... I... I..."
Yu Lan was speechless for a long mont.
But Durant had clearly understood her.
Even though he had been prepared, his heart was still filled with disappointnt.
When he looked at Yu Lan, his voice softened again.
"You don’t have to apologize. It’s my fault. I was too abrupt."
Just as he was speaking, the large screen hanging above the laboratory suddenly flickered to life with a news broadcast.
"It is reported that Major General Su Xingye is leading the First Legion ho today. The whereabouts of the missing Marshal Huo Zhanting remain unknown. Queen Belina, accompanied by Princess Louisa and various ministers, is on Central Street to welco Major General Su Xingye’s return."
The second the female announcer’s voice faded,
the screen was filled with the figure of Su Xingye.
He was dressed in a black military uniform, standing at the very front and leading the soldiers forward.
With Marshal Huo Zhanting’s sudden and traceless disappearance, the burden on his shoulders had abruptly increased.
Su Xingye was maturing rapidly.
His expression was cold and stern, his posture broad and upright. His sharp, formidable aura was on full display, silently conveyed through the cara lens to every viewer watching the live broadcast.
Even with Marshal Huo Zhanting missing, the Empire still had a fighting chance.
’Anyone looking for a death wish is welco to try us.’
Yu Lan let out a soft hiss. She could hardly reconcile the Su Xingye on screen with the man who had generously transferred ten million Star Coins to her that night.
’He looks so cold and fierce. If a Su Xingye like that was standing in front of , I probably wouldn’t even have the courage to apologize.’
Just as she was thinking this, the live broadcast suddenly changed.
It was unclear what happened, but the orderly ranks of the First Legion suddenly fell into chaos.
Even the Royal Family’s entourage, standing at the forefront to welco Su Xingye, descended into disorder. Countless mbers of the Royal Guard drew their weapons and stood in front of Queen Belina.
Yu Lan was wondering what was going on when the cara angle seed to shift. A mont later, it focused on the center of the panic.
It was Su Xingye.
At this very mont, the powerful man—who just monts ago had been cold and self-possessed, his face taut with a formidable dignity like a god descending to the mortal realm—had completely changed.
Surrounded by mbers of the First Legion, Su Xingye stood in the very center. His face was flushed red, his eyes seed to burn with fire, and a cold light flashed in his deep green pupils, reminiscent of so large, mindless beast.
The next second,
a scene that shocked Yu Lan appeared.
Patches of white fur began to appear on Su Xingye’s face, and his entire body flickered back and forth between his Silver Wolf and human forms.
The man clenched his fists, veins bulging on his skin. His eyes were bloodshot as he threw his head back to stare at the sky, fighting against the sharp, stabbing pain in his brain.
It was as if a heavy hamr was brutally smashing inside his head, blow after blow. His very soul was being shattered and reford, only to be struck again without rcy.
The last thing Yu Lan saw was Su Xingye kneeling on the ground in agony before the live feed was abruptly cut.
One could only imagine the intense debate such a sensational scene would cause, and how much unease it would stir up among the public.
Yu Lan was frightened, too. She looked at Durant beside her, her heart pounding.
"What’s happening to Su Xingye?"
"He’ll be okay, right?"
Yu Lan’s eyes were filled with hope.
Deep within her beautiful amber eyes was an unconcealable panic. Because of the frightening scene from the broadcast, Yu Lan’s slender, delicate body was even trembling unnaturally.
The female before him was clearly terrified.
Durant wanted to say sothing to comfort the pretty little female.
But unfortunately, pretty words couldn’t make the facts disappear.
Durant shook his head and delivered news that shattered Yu Lan.
"Major General Su appears to be in heat."
At this, seeing the worry on the pretty little female’s face, Durant couldn’t help but reveal so confidential information.
"During the recent attack from the Thirteen District’s Dark Planet, a large amount of induction agent was deployed on the battlefield."
"Many male soldiers were forced into heat. Marshal Huo Zhanting was the male who inhaled the most induction agent; he transford into his beast form on the spot and disappeared."
"He hasn’t been found in all these days."
"At the ti, Major General Su received orders to encircle and contain the enemy on the periter. Watching the broadcast just now, I thought he hadn’t been affected much, but I guess he was just forcing himself to hold on."
With Huo Zhanting, the Empire’s top combatant, missing, the Star Citizens on the Central Star were in a state of panic.
Su Xingye had wanted to shoulder the burden of the First Legion all at once and project an iron-fisted, unyielding image, showing everyone that even with Huo Zhanting gone, he was still there.
But unfortunately, he couldn’t hold on until the end. Now, this had caused an even bigger uproar.
"Logically speaking, Major General Su is in his pri. His spiritual power shouldn’t have collapsed so quickly."
"But I heard Major General Su already has a Female Master. I assu that with her soothing, he should get through this crisis soon enough."
Durant was quite relaxed about the matter, maintaining an extrely optimistic attitude.
Hearing this, Yu Lan’s body trembled violently.
’Su Xingye’s Female Master?’
’?’
’But I have no way to soothe Su Xingye.’
"What do you an, ’at Su Xingye’s age, his spiritual power shouldn’t have collapsed so quickly’?"
Yu Lan asked with so uncertainty. ’Could it be because of that ti I induced his heat when I transmigrated?’
’If that’s the reason, then I’m definitely involved.’
Yu Lan stared blankly.
She couldn’t help but recall the last scene she saw before the broadcast ended: Princess Louisa breaking free from the Royal Guard’s protection and running toward Su Xingye.
’Maybe Louisa will soothe Su Xingye?’
’And would Su Xingye accept it?’
Yu Lan thought, uncertain.
But at this mont, she had completely lost the desire to continue her experints.
Standing in the lab, she felt deeply unsettled.

「anwhile.」
Elsewhere, three minutes after the live broadcast ended,
Su Xingye had fully transford into the Silver Wolf.
While he still had a shred of reason left, he quickly walked into an iron cage.
"Go... ho."
The Silver Wolf spoke, his voice strained and hoarse.
The sharp pain in his brain was driving him mad. Unable to bear it, he started slamming his head against the iron cage—CLANG CLANG CLANG—making a series of violent bangs. The cage, made of refined steel, was even knocked slightly out of place.
"Junior General, the most important thing for you right now is to find a female to help you," an adjutant who had served Su Xingye for many years spoke out, his expression extrely anxious.
"Where is your Female Master?"
"Can I contact her for you right now?"
’Female Master?’
The Silver Wolf in the iron cage lifted his head, a glimr of light flashing in his deep green eyes.
The pretty, soft little female from his mories... Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang. So fragrant, so very, very fragrant.
