Chapter 22: Being Forced
Su Miantang used several kinds of potions to formulate different recovery liquids, experimenting on Lanlan’s wings in turn. After a day of effort, she finally found the right one.
But this medicine seemed to have a sedative effect. From 10 hours, to 14, to 16… it gradually slept for 20 hours, even a whole day.
However, every time it woke up, its energy surpassed the previous time. Not only did the broken wing grow, but its body size also grew visibly to the naked eye. It should be accelerating its growth and development during sleep.
Su Miantang was very satisfied with this. Using its sleeping time, she began to research suppressants to fulfill the new concept she had proposed when joining.
But who should she target as the first users?
The first ones she thought of were Fred and Enzo.
No one needed a natural, harmless new suppressant more than soldiers who galloped across the battlefield. Their spirits were precious; the slightest damage would affect their combat power.
Space Station M81.
“Central Empire Military Department calling Colonel Fred and Major Enzo. Please return from the desolate planet immediately to attend the General’s funeral.”
“…”
“Central Empire Military Department calling Colonel Fred and Major Enzo for the final time. Return from the desolate planet immediately. Violators will be dealt with according to military law!”
The command came from the liaison station for the Nth time. Fred picked up the receiver and replied with a dejected voice, “Received.”
“Enzo, we should go back.”
“No, I don’t want to go back. General Aslan hasn’t been found. Even at the center of the explosion, there should be fragments of his body, right? Brother, do you think he might not be dead at all?”
Fred understood his feelings, but…
“That was a miasma bomb.”
Enzo fell silent.
Miasma bombs could level mountains and seas and move planets. In the past, a single one took the lives of over ten million people in the Empire, let alone the General. Even if he were a god, his soul would be obliterated.
But they were simply unwilling to believe it. After all, he was their idol, their faith in joining the army.
On the way to reinforcing the desolate planet, they had received news of the General’s death, yet they stubbornly searched the planet for one day, two days, three days… a full week. There was nothing here but devastation. All traces indicated that the General had died for his country.
Before they could even earn his appreciation or even enter his sight, the chance was gone forever.
“If we don’t go back now, we might really miss the General’s funeral.”
Enzo didn’t speak.
Seeing his stubborn attitude and the faint intention of defying military orders, Fred could only pull out his trump card: “We’ve been away from the planet for a full week. Don’t you miss Tangtang?”
In any case, he missed her very much.
He missed her every smile, every frown, every action.
He wanted to know what she was doing now and how her health was.
Tangtang.
Hearing Su Miantang’s name, Enzo’s attitude softened.
He slowly spread his palm, revealing a snow-white marshmallow.
Over these past few days, he had gotten through by relying on them.
Whenever his heart felt too pained, he would open one and eat it; it would help a lot.
Now, only the last one remained.
“Alright, let’s go back.”
According to military orders, Fred and Enzo needed to head to the Yongning City Gate first to participate in the funeral and mourning ceremony. They arrived late, but they managed to catch the tail end and saw the remains of the General’s warship.
As they prepared to leave, they were blocked by a female figure dressed in magnificent clothing with a head full of jewelry.
Following behind her was a group of male consorts and male slaves.
Princess Catherine.
“It really is you?”
The Princess laughed happily upon seeing them.
While she was in mourning just now, she had suddenly seen two tall, handsome, eye-catching figures in the crowd, and her heart stirred.
Walking over, it was indeed the Imperial Twin Stars.
“You’ve returned from the desolate planet?”
Fred and Enzo saluted her together. “Yes, Princess.”
“Then…”
Catherine had intended to converse with them happily, but thinking of the recent rumors, her smile gradually froze on her face.
“I heard that you two are recently pursuing an orphaned female without pheromones together. To please her, you even went so far as to transform into your beast forms in public. Is it true?”
Fred and Enzo exchanged a silent look.
If it were a normal time, it would be one thing.
Today was General Aslan’s funeral. This was his mourning hall, where wave after wave of people were grieving.
Yet she chose this time to bring this up.
They didn’t want to continue dealing with her perfunctorily anymore. Even if it meant breaking the law, they would make things clear today.
“Yes.”
The two brothers spoke in unison, their voices firm and powerful.
Catherine flared with anger instantly, a raging fire of jealousy surging into her heart. “Why?!”
“I have shown favor to you two brothers many times, yet you remained unmoved. Now, you actually take a fancy to a waste female who has no parents, no power, and doesn’t even have pheromones!”
“I am the Princess, above ten thousand and below only one, a precious S-grade female of the Empire. In what way am I inferior to her?”
Fred frowned. “You have no need to compare yourself to her.”
Hearing “waste,” Enzo desperately suppressed the rage in his heart. “In our hearts, no one can compare to her.”
“Fine, fine, fine!”
Princess Catherine’s eyes turned red with rage.
No matter how outstanding they were or how high their combat power, they were still just males. To dare publicly humiliate her, the eldest Princess of the nation—they truly didn’t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth!
It must be that she had been too indulgent with them. Now, she would let them know what royalty was, what it meant for females to be revered and males to be subservient, and what the control of top-tier pheromones was!
“You really are tough nuts to crack!”
“Let’s see if you stay this tough…”
As her words fell, she began to activate her pheromones.
Everyone present was shocked. Before they could react, they saw the Imperial Twin Stars turn pale, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads as their entire bodies began to shake uncontrollably.
Princess Catherine’s pheromone grade was S, and her scent was a surging seawater. What she was releasing now was S1—Induction Pheromones.
Any male with a combat power grade of S or below could not refuse.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, to activate a first-class powerful pheromone type that induced estrus—this was a deliberate attempt to embarrass the Imperial Twin Stars!
As expected of the males I fancy; they can endure so much!
If it were ordinary males, they would have lost their sanity the moment they contacted her pheromones and lunged forward to beg for mating. Yet they could still stand straight.
Catherine increased the concentration of the pheromones.
“Nn…”
Fred’s mouth was dry and his feet felt like they were on fire. His whole body felt as though it were about to be incinerated. He felt white-gold feathers faintly appearing on his arms.
