Chapter 33 Consuming Pheromones

Chapter 33: Consuming Pheromones

Vanna Crystal, a unique gem formed from the prolonged evolution of Darkstone, possesses an extraordinary radiance that nourishes its wearer. Its hard, bright texture offers both beautifying and decorative qualities. However, its collection is fraught with difficulty, and obtaining intact specimens is particularly challenging, making both discovery and extraction highly resource-intensive and costly. Consequently, such high-end luxury items are entirely beyond the reach of ordinary beings.

And Sexia had gifted him an entire piece, roughly the size of a fist, weighing a total of 367 grams. With the current market price at 79,866 Star Coins per gram, this single piece was worth tens of millions of Star Coins.

Upon seeing the crystal, 99’s first reaction was to be momentarily blinded by its dazzling brilliance. Its second reaction was to search for it online, after which it fell silent.

"I can’t handle this. Your wife is incredibly powerful."

99 couldn’t help but gaze at the cool-faced female insect opposite with profound admiration. The couples it had shipped were always sweet, and some were incredibly generous, spending without a second thought.

They hadn’t been together long, yet Sexia had already spent hundreds of millions of Star Coins on him—and that figure didn’t even include the assets transferred to Xierlan’s name or the compensation Sexia had paid out.

If those were included, the amount would be astronomical.

When Xierlan saw the price 99 had looked up, his hands, still holding the box, began to tremble. When he looked at Sexia again, he found himself unable to meet the other’s gaze directly.

Although tens of millions were merely a trifle for Sexia, receiving such an expensive gift on an ordinary day still felt overwhelmingly hot to handle.

With Star Coins roughly equivalent to RMB at a 10:1 ratio, the thought of holding a crystal worth millions of RMB in his hands left Xierlan feeling dazed and disoriented.

He still couldn’t fully process it.

It was simply too much.

Seeing Xierlan’s prolonged lack of reaction, Sexia lowered his eyes slightly. "You can have it made into bracelets or a necklace. If you prefer, you could also use it for something else."

During the most prosperous period of Xierlan’s family, their total liquid assets amounted to a few million, not even counting the additional millions from their businesses.

It took him a long time to fully accept receiving such an expensive gift on such an ordinary day.

"I really like it."

Xierlan pondered how he should respond, then leaned in, wrapping his arms around Sexia’s neck. Lowering his eyes to meet his, he slowly curved the corners of his lips.

It was as if he had transformed into a little golden canary, gently drawing closer as he said with a smile, "Baby, you spoil me so much—how can I ever show my appreciation?"

Xierlan decided to playfully entice his wife. After speaking, he reached out, brushed Sexia’s hair behind his ear, and gradually fixed his gaze on Sexia’s lips, his focus intense.

Perhaps due to his glasses, his dark pupils seemed somewhat indistinct, as if veiled by a thin film.

For a moment, Sexia felt an urge to turn away from that gaze. Having witnessed Xierlan’s puppy-like human demeanor countless times, suddenly encountering this side of him caused Sexia’s reactions to slow considerably.

Sexia couldn’t deny the profound impact this version of Xierlan had on him. His glacier-like blue eyes flickered before he suddenly smiled, raised a hand to remove the glasses from Xierlan’s face, closed his eyes, and leaned in for a kiss.

Xierlan hadn’t expected Sexia to initiate. He froze momentarily upon realizing his glasses had been removed but quickly cooperated, closing his eyes and parting his lips to engage in a slow, entwined kiss until they finally separated, sated.

Still somewhat dazed, Xierlan instinctively secured the box first, then kissed the female insect’s cheek. His eyes sparkled, seemingly shy, as he buried himself against Sexia’s shoulder, muffling his voice without speaking.

Sexia gently encircled the human’s waist. He seemed to have grown accustomed to all of Xierlan’s states, no longer displaying the blushing and awkwardness of the past.

Sexia raised one hand and slowly pressed it against the back of Xierlan’s head. His tone was soft, clearly concerned, yet it made the tips of Xierlan’s ears turn an even brighter red.

"Are you shy?"

Xierlan didn’t speak, so Sexia released him, receiving no reaction.

Initially, Xierlan had only felt a little embarrassed, but after Sexia’s light teasing, he felt somewhat surprised, though mostly flustered.

Damn it, how had he let himself be so casually flirted with by his wife?!

After all, he was usually the one doing the teasing!

Xierlan claimed to be annoyed, but in reality, he was very eager. However, when he noticed the female insect showed no reaction, Xierlan grew somewhat puzzled. After a moment, he prepared to look up and see why Sexia had fallen silent, only to meet a pair of beautiful light blue eyes.

Sexia wore a faint smile as he leaned in, kissed Xierlan’s cheek, gradually brushing against the human’s ear, and softly whispered something that sounded very much like coaxing, his breath carrying a distinct warmth, "Xierlan is like a little puppy."

"A very well-behaved and adorable little puppy."

Sexia spoke his mind.

Xierlan flushed bright red in an instant.

As Sexia slowly pulled back from his ear, Xierlan also caught the other’s expression. Sexia’s smile became clearer as he gently pinched Xierlan’s burning ear tip, his tone still tender as he continued, "Don’t be shy."

Xierlan was utterly defeated. His cheeks began to heat up, and he felt as if a tail might sprout out at any moment.

This is truly too much…!

Playing with the puppy so effortlessly!

"So I’m Sexia’s little puppy," Xierlan accepted it very quickly, leaning his handsome face closer, putting on an obedient expression, "Does Master want to scratch the puppy’s chin?"

Sexia felt his heart burning.

He raised his hand, gently curled his fingers, and scratched under Xierlan’s chin. The next moment, Xierlan—being treated like a puppy—leaned into the touch, resting his entire head in Sexia’s palm.

Xierlan looked up at him with bright eyes, as if feeling it wasn’t enough, cutely tilting his head, making Sexia understand firsthand what it meant to have one’s health bar completely emptied.

Sexia lowered his hand but then took Xierlan’s and led him back to the spacecraft.

The moment the cabin door closed, Sexia kissed him again. He cupped Xierlan’s face, gradually deepening the kiss bit by bit. Their originally neat clothes began to rumple in their embrace.

Xierlan hadn’t expected Sexia to be so proactive. Unable to keep hold of the items in his hands, he could only set them on a nearby counter. He stumbled into the kiss with Sexia, eventually ending up seated on a chair, locked in a deep kiss.

The fire burned hotter and hotter. Xierlan felt somewhat breathless. Unsure what kind of intimacy Xierlan preferred, Sexia shifted from deep kisses to light pecks, leaving his lips to trail kisses down to his throat.

Xierlan felt everything was going too far. A cool, soft sensation began to spread across his body, and he let out a muffled groan when bitten, instantly flooding with blood.

Sexia hadn’t controlled his strength well, moving somewhat clumsily, and it made Xierlan feel a bit nauseous.

But he persisted.

And consumed it.

Xierlan felt as if he were about to explode. In that instant, every possible thought raced through his mind.

Ahhhh—he had never imagined having Sexia consume this! This is way too much!!!

Sexia didn’t remember how long he spent, but by the time he pulled away, his face and hair were slightly stained.

Seeing this, Xierlan’s reaction was clear, though his hands trembled as he pulled out a few tissues to wipe him clean.

"It’s okay, baby, I didn’t mean to."

Wuwu, I’m going to die.

Xierlan flushed crimson under the gaze, suddenly overwhelmed by the urge to tug at his pants, but finding they wouldn't budge, he instead pulled his shirt downward, his movements so flustered they were almost pitiful.

This was too much—a pure romantic had never encountered such a situation. Help, help! Someone save him!

Yet Sexia remained completely composed. Of course, he noticed Xierlan's fidgeting, but he merely curved his lips, tilted his head slightly to the side, and gazed at him with a soft expression, still staying quiet.

Xierlan felt as if his energy was drained. He didn't understand what Sexia meant. Tossing the tissue into the trash, he pinched Sexia's cheek, both embarrassed and helpless. "Baby, you can get up already."

Sexia reached out, but instead of rising, he interlaced their fingers and rested their joined hands beneath his head.

It was a deferential pose, but Xierlan felt uneasy about it. Gently squeezing Sexia's fingertips, he reassured him, "What's wrong? This position isn't comfortable. Get up, baby."

Xierlan was genuinely nervous, fearing Sexia had heard something and was trying to please him.

Please don't let it be those bugs making his wife anxious—it was entirely possible!

Sexia had simply acted on impulse, without any particular reason.

"I was wondering how you would react."

Sexia truly wanted to know. When Xierlan had taken him for the first time, he had felt nervous and reverent. But the human had treated him so well that Sexia also wanted to do something for him too, to understand how Xierlan would respond in such a situation.

This time, the thought occurred to him, so he acted.

Xierlan hadn't expected that to be the reason, and for a moment, he was struck dumb.

Sexia rose, his eyes moving from meeting his gaze to slowly looking down.

Xierlan couldn't help but grow tense.

Yet Sexia still said nothing. He extended slightly moist fingertips and gently brushed them against Xierlan's cheek.

In that moment, Xierlan suddenly felt as if the aloofness Sexia radiated seemed to fade, making him seem aloof yet inherently noble and distant.

Xierlan rarely saw this side of Sexia, and even more rarely encountered him in such quiet stillness.

Sexia noticed the tremor and hesitation in his eyes, and gradually, a smile curved his lips.

The spacecraft had long since landed near the villa. Sexia leaned down, kneeling beside him, and directly grasped Xierlan's collar, pressing a kiss he couldn't refuse to his lips.

Before Xierlan could react, Sexia nuzzled softly into the crook of his shoulder and whispered, "I just really enjoy being close to you."

After a moment, Sexia's hot breath ghosted over his neck.

The female whispered, "My male, there's still one place I haven't gotten a taste of your pheromones."
