Chapter 41: Three SentinelsÂ
“If… if it’s just giving him enough pheromones, I can try to help.”
As soon as Su Tang’s voice fell, a loud bang came from the living room. Then, the Silver Wolf’s howl and the Golden Eagle’s cry sounded alternately. Su Tang’s heart skipped a beat.
Mo Xiao was here.
Almost the next second after she looked toward the bedroom doorway, Mo Xiao walked into her line of sight.
He was still wearing his tight black combat suit, looking as if he had rushed all the way here. His cold gaze swept past Su Tang, looked at Zhan Ye lounging on the woman’s bed, and paused noticeably when it touched Anse sitting by the bedside.
Then, he looked at Su Tang standing in the middle.
Seeing the woman’s disheveled clothes and red, swollen lips, what else could he not understand?
The surrounding atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Zhan Ye had originally been delighted that Su Tang was willing to help him, but when he saw Mo Xiao’s figure appear, his thoughts couldn’t help but be drawn to another matter.
He could feel the Guide’s spiritual power so thick on the man’s chest; he knew exactly what was in that place.
His gaze became obscure bit by bit.
“What are you doing here?”
Zhan Ye’s voice was hoarse, carrying thick hostility.
“I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing in my First Squad Guide’s bedroom?”
Watching these two men confront each other like needles against wheat awns, clearly looking like jealous rivals seeing red, Anse waved his hand, stood up from the bed, walked to a corner aside, and spoke silently.
“Don’t misunderstand. I was invited by Guide Su Tang to check on Zhan Ye’s condition. I didn’t barge into your First Squad Guide’s dormitory at will.”
These two lunaticsâwasn’t fighting in his medical room last time enough?
Seeing that they were about to start a ruckus again, Anse really didn’t want to deal with their business, so he simply stood aside to watch the show.
“How am I hindering you by being here? Su Tang hasn’t even questioned me; who are you to do so? What are you to her?”
Asking this, Zhan Ye only felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. Just thinking that Su Tang performed deep purification for him and even marked him completely, the jealousy in his heart couldn’t be suppressed.
Seeing Mo Xiao’s face getting colder and colder, Su Tang hurriedly spoke to explain.
“Mo Xiao, it’s not what you think. You also know that because I helped Zhan Ye evolve last time, I accidentally gave him an incomplete mark. He’s been very uncomfortable these past few days.”
“Anse said he entered a pseudo-heat period because of that mark and needs… needs my help to release him from this state.”
Mo Xiao pursed his lips, looked at Anse standing aside, and seeing him nod, half the anger in his heart dissipated.
“How does he need your help?”
Su Tang gritted her teeth, not knowing how to tell Mo Xiao.
“It’s like this: Zhan Ye has excess energy in his body and needs Guide Su Tang to provide some pheromones to help him calm down.”
“Oh, right. Before you came in, Guide Su Tang had already agreed to the treatment plan I proposed.”
Seeing Su Tang stammering and afraid to speak, Anse decided to be a good person to the end and help her tell Mo Xiao the truth. Of course, there was no lack of intention to watch a good show.
“Pheromones?”
She actually agreed to such an absurd plan.
Mo Xiao’s face became exceptionally ugly.
Before Su Tang could figure out how to explain to Mo Xiao, the one on the bed couldn’t suppress his violent temper anymore.
“What’s with the cold face? You’ve already received her complete mark and can enjoy her aura all the time. I’m just asking for a little bit of pheromonesâdo you have to interfere even with this?”
Anse gained a lot of information from Zhan Ye’s words. So it wasn’t just Zhan Ye; she could actually mark Mo Xiao completely while having incompletely marked Zhan Ye?
Interesting, truly too interesting!
Anse’s fingers trembled slightly, his gaze burning as he stared at the woman standing in the middle of the room, caught in a dilemma between two men.
“How did you know?”
Even the Sentinels of the First Squad who went on the mission with them didn’t know about her marking Mo Xiao. How did Zhan Ye know?
“I felt it as soon as you marked him. The mark you left on me repelled the approach of my spiritual power. Besides the mark’s owner having a new favorite, I can’t think of another reason.”
The more Zhan Ye spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. His nerves became exceptionally sensitive and fragile in this state. Just saying these two sentences, he felt he couldn’t hold back the heat in his eyes.
Not wanting to shed tears in front of a rival and let him see a joke, he hurriedly lowered his head, bent his knees, and pressed the bundle of quilt to his face, blocking others’ gazes.
“…”
Su Tang couldn’t imagine this was the reason.
“Department Head Anse, is there a connection between marked Sentinels too?”
Su Tang suddenly shifted her gaze to him. Anse didn’t have time to restrain the expression on his face. Not surprisingly seeing shock on Su Tang’s face, he slowly became gentle again.
“Of course there is. A Guide leaving a mark on a Sentinel means opening a channel for spiritual power exchange on him. If the Guide continues to open channels on other Sentinels, the spiritual power maintained on the first Sentinel will fluctuate. Sentinels can certainly judge the situation based on such fluctuations.”
Su Tang nodded blankly. Did she see wrong just now?
Why did she feel Department Head Anse’s gaze staring at her just now was so strange?
“Do you hate me?”
The man on the bed suddenly blurted out such a jealous sentence. Su Tang’s body trembled subconsciously.
“Otherwise, why would you mark him but ignore me? Even for a little bit of pheromones, you have to consider for so long before deciding to give it to me as charity.”
What did he mean by “a little bit of pheromones”? Before transmigrating to this world, she was a top-tier single-since-birth who hadn’t even held a man’s hand. After transmigrating to this world, the successive events were really forcing her down the path of “eating meat in big mouthfuls.”
Although her body had gradually accepted such changes, her mind hadn’t had time to adjust yet. Was it excessive for her to consider carefully?
“Don’t think like that. I just think such things need careful consideration.”
“So you also know such things need careful consideration? Then why did you give Mo Xiao a complete mark so casually? Speaking of which, you just like him more than me…”
Could it be compared like this?
Giving Mo Xiao a complete mark was because the situation at that time was indeed very critical. She needed to pull Mo Xiao back from the brink of death, so she didn’t think so much.
But Zhan Ye’s situation at that time wasn’t critical; he could be saved without deep purification. These two situations couldn’t be compared like this.
