Chapter 54 Injured

Chapter 54: Injured

Sexia had never anticipated such a reaction from Xierlan. He lowered his head, lost in thought, the blood splattered on his face slowly tracing the curve of his cheek. Meanwhile, Xierlan’s arm, still wrapped around his waist, tightened gradually, a gesture of affection and dependence.

Xierlan was utterly captivated by Sexia’s coolness. Moves that would be nearly impossible to replicate even in games were executed by Sexia in an instant.

His eyes sparkled. "Sexia, I’ve always thought you were exceptional. Even if you arrived late, it doesn’t matter. Perhaps I’m a bit foolish, but I believe you wouldn’t easily abandon me. I’d feel the same way if our roles were reversed."

Xierlan felt that six months of companionship were enough for Sexia to understand he wouldn’t easily change his mind. Yet, seeing Sexia’s pale face and stiff movements, even a blind person could tell how deeply this matter affected him.

"I’ve always thought you were wonderful."

From the very beginning, Xierlan knew the male insect before him was extraordinary. The descriptions he had once seen online now came vividly to life, unfolding right before his eyes.

There were so many things about Sexia that stirred his heart—too many to count individually.

Sexia’s gaze trembled, and he slowly regained his composure. He turned and pulled Xierlan into an embrace, murmuring softly, "My Lord…"

Xierlan chuckled, acknowledging him with a soft hum before kissing Sexia’s ear.

"I’m here."

As if struggling to voice it, Sexia’s mind was still replaying the way Xierlan had addressed him. When he tried to speak, he found himself momentarily speechless. Then, with a touch of embarrassment, he asked, "Could you call me that again?"

Xierlan froze for a moment, then blushed, turning his head away, too shy to meet Sexia’s gaze.

"Husband…"

Xierlan was even shyer than before. As if remembering something, he quickly added "my primary consort," not wanting to omit the title.

Sexia remained silent. Xierlan, thinking he found it strange, secretly glanced up. The other was looking down, blood still streaking his face, but it was faintly clear he was embarrassed.

Xierlan had been feeling awkward too, but seeing Sexia even more flustered than himself, he instantly relaxed.

Sexia truly was incredibly cute…

Xierlan couldn’t resist any longer. First, he released Sexia, then pulled out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped the blood from his face.

Xierlan’s movements were tender. After cleaning the blood, he kissed Sexia’s eyes and lips. "Without Sexia, I’d be utterly lost."

He instinctively reached for Sexia’s hand, but the other slowly pulled away.

Afraid Xierlan might misunderstand, Sexia whispered, "The bone blades on my hand haven’t retracted yet… I don’t want to cut you."

Only then did Xierlan realize the bone blades were still extended.

"Let me see."

Xierlan was still curious.

Sexia hesitated for a moment before extending his hand.

His bone blades were about fifteen centimeters long and took three days to retract.

Xierlan had never seen such an astonishing feature and couldn’t help but stare a bit longer. Curious, he reached out to touch it. Before Sexia could stop him, Xierlan barely grazed it, and a clear cut appeared on his fingertip.

So cool!

Xierlan used his sleeve to quickly wipe away the blood.

"Sexia, take me home."

Xierlan hugged him, nuzzling like a puppy. "Please?"

Sexia had no reason to refuse. His ears burned, and under Xierlan’s gaze, he could only turn his head away quietly, piloting the ship home.

They were both covered in too much grime and blood from the journey.

Xierlan showered with Sexia. Since Sexia’s bone blades hadn’t retracted, washing was difficult, so Xierlan helped him.

When it was his turn, Sexia noticed a large bruise on Xierlan’s back and touched it very carefully. Xierlan couldn’t help but gasp in pain.

It hurt so much.

It felt as if a bone had shattered inside, scattering fragments everywhere. Any significant movement would rub against the flesh, wearing it down until the skin and muscle were completely torn, then knotted up into a mass that made everything agonizing.

When Sexia touched it, Xierlan felt as if the skin and flesh on his back had been shredded—the pain was excruciating.

"Baby," Xierlan said quietly, "I’m not going out anymore. One more time like this and I’d be completely broken."

After applying medicine, Sexia leaned down and kissed Xierlan’s exposed cheek. After being kissed, Xierlan shyly lifted a pillow to cover himself.

"I know you won’t blame me."

Sexia whispered, "Of course I won’t blame you."

Xierlan brightened, revealing a bit of his face again. "Then can we kiss?"

Sexia carefully avoided his back and slowly kissed him.

The male insect’s pale hair cascaded down. Under the backlight, Sexia’s hair glowed even brighter than the lamp. Xierlan slowly closed his eyes, parting his lips to gently receive Sexia’s tongue, kissing him softly.

Sexia supported the back of his neck with his hand to prevent him from straining. Xierlan, caught up in the kiss, opened his eyes and asked quietly, "Can we do it?"

Sexia paused, a hint of worry in his voice. "Do you want to? Will it hurt?"

Xierlan blinked and suddenly said, "Now I’ll play a paralyzed male insect confined to bed. You’re my newlywed primary consort. Because you’re pressured to lay eggs, you have to do it with this powerless, paralyzed male."

Xierlan didn’t know why, but he was getting into it. He lay perfectly still, his face screaming, "I’m ready, I’m ready."

Sexia’s cheeks gradually grew warm with embarrassment.

Shyly, he agreed, then suddenly asked very seriously, "Do you want me to be... more wanton or more reserved?"

Xierlan widened his eyes—Sexia was actually creating a role!

He lay blissfully on the sofa. "Start reserved, then realize I can’t move, and then get a little... wild. How’s that? I’ll secretly watch you."

Sexia hummed in agreement and left. Soon, he returned wearing formal, elaborate clothes. Seeing the paralyzed male insect on the bed, he coldly smirked.

Sexia walked over. The paralyzed male insect was beautiful, lying on the bed with only a stunning half of his face visible.

The thought of having to lay eggs with such an unresponsive male insect—could he even get hard?

Sexia sneered.

He stepped forward and carefully turned over the motionless male insect, as if asleep.

He sat down and began to undo the pajamas of the male insect beneath him.

The other seemed to be in a coma, showing no reaction at all to the female insect sitting on him.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the male insect's lips.

They were cool, very soft, gradually spreading to the cheek and the tip of the ear.

Sexia could feel Xierlan's ears heating up inch by inch.

He resisted the urge to curl his lips and went to kiss.

His Adam's apple.

Gradually moving downward.

To the newlywed female insect's surprise, the male insect responded quickly.

Intensely.

Visibly.

Sexia instinctively ground against him.

Even though the male insect was unresponsive, showing no signs of opening his eyes, he remained reserved, proceeding cautiously.

Perhaps he had found some.

Pleasure.

His movements gradually became bolder.

The originally suppressed sounds seemed to slowly be released, and he sank down to reach the base.

And the male insect beneath him seemed to sense something, his cheeks and ear tips showing clear traces of pink.

Sexia let out a soft moan.

It was... too much...

Because no one was holding his waist, Sexia could only hold those limp hands to prevent himself from becoming too.

Overwhelmed.

And losing control.

Perhaps because he felt there was plenty of room to indulge and space to move, Sexia had already become carried away, and Xierlan felt that he was already.

Marked with red patches.

Sexia gently held his hand, slowly interlacing their fingers, then brought it to his lips for a soft kiss, running his tongue over it.

Xierlan fought the urge for a long time before resisting the urge to push his fingertips inside.

Sexia's heart beat faster and faster. He leaned in to kiss Xierlan, and finally unable to restrain himself, Xierlan reached out to grasp the nape of his neck, tangling his fingers in Sexia's hair, engaging in a deep, entangled kiss.

It ended with Xierlan being bruised and breathless.

Perhaps because they had had such a good time, they passed out right on the sofa.

Xierlan took two weeks to recover from his injuries before finally being able to live comfortably again.

He returned to work in the laboratory, having put his research on hold for a while due to his recovery.

During these days, he hadn't gone out and was unaware of what had been happening outside. While he was sorting through data, a sudden, urgent alarm sounded in the laboratory.

99 checked the alarm system for him and was instantly taken aback.

"It's Xie Dun, the master of the underground city, and the male insect he auctioned! They are being hunted!"

Xierlan's location happened to be where they were trying to hide. They had already entered the courtyard.

Xierlan looked at the laboratory and immediately felt uneasy, quickly grabbing a weapon for self-defense and heading out.

Xie Dun supported the injured Talan as they barged in. Aware he was intruding, he placed a highly valuable gemstone necklace on the table in the living room.

He didn't know when the owner would return, but Talan had been hit by a stray bullet, his abdomen severely burned and festering.

If they couldn't find a place for treatment soon, he would die.

Xie Dun's expression was grim as he prepared to call out to the house owner, soon spotting Xierlan standing in the doorway.

He was wearing a mask, making him look identical to Mi Xie.

Xierlan aimed his gun at Xie Dun, "Whatever your purpose is, first neutralize any threat you pose to me."

Xie Dun lowered his gun; he truly had no other options. "I need a doctor. My male insect is severely infected. If you can help us, I promise to reward you handsomely."

They had temporarily shaken off their pursuers, but...

Xie Dun suppressed his anger. The research institutes in this district were all hidden underground; he was taking a chance.

He could run into any kind of laboratory.

Xierlan hesitated briefly but quickly made up his mind, lifting his chin. "Bring him, follow me."

Xierlan had simulated many similar cases, but he wasn't sure if he could succeed in practice.

He didn't know why he was being so bold, daring to let a stranger into his research lab.

Whatever.

Xierlan began providing basic first aid, then immediately moved him to the operating room for sterilization.

Xie Dun waited in the living room, his head throbbing with pain.

He must have been insane to entrust Talan to a female insect whose background he knew nothing about.
