Chapter 164: One

Yu Wen was extremely apologetic. He didn’t want to worry Li Jun, but he knew if he didn’t go that day, instead of their weapons pointing at the enemy, they would turn them against each other. If Red Valkyrie were to face the imperial army, that would only benefit the enemy. He truly had no choice.

He grabbed Li Jun’s arm and that was about to hit him again. Before Li Jun could break free, he pulled him into his arms and pressed his lips against his. Li Jun who wasn’t done venting his anger was startled.

Yu Wen’s mouth was warm, impossibly soft against his. His entire body went rigid. He wanted to push him away and continue venting his frustration with this man but he found himself weak against his onslaught.

He couldn’t resist the temptation, the pleasure that came with it. Having found another outlet to vent his anger, he pushed Yu Wen and pressed him against the wall. Before Yu Wen could take a breather, he had been spun around, and his man was kissing him with such ferocity putting him in a dizzying haze.

A sharp stinging pain made his body shiver, a tremor that travelled straight to his heart. The taste of blood in his mouth satisfied Li Jun. His anger vanished like mist swallowed by the rising sun.

His fist clutching Yu Wen’s collar uncurled, his fingers pressed against the fabric of Yu Wen’s shirt. The heat of the other man’s body seeped through the fabric, a steady, grounding pulse.

Yu Wen’s fingers caressed Li Jun’s neck as he deepened the kiss. Li Jun pressed hard against his man, his knees spreading Yu Wen’s legs apart. He missed him. He missed the taste of this man. He missed the way he made him feel.

He wanted nothing more than to take him away from this place and lock him up so no one would dare take him away from him again. Just when they were spiraling out of control, a loud beeping sound tore through the heated moment.

Yu Wen, who had been starving for so long, couldn’t bear to part with those soft lips thus he held on. Li Jun on the other hand, couldn’t help but be anxious. That beeping sound was coming from the collar around Yu Wen’s neck.

Being the most clear headed of the two, he pushed Yu Wen away with a thin sliver thread linking them together before snapping. Yu Wen’s Adam’s apple rolled as he stared at the face he had been dreaming about ever since they parted.

Li Jun was studying the collar that had been engaged to self-distract mode. He knew Xiu Ying would do this. Given her situation, this was the only logical move she could take. Since her fate was decided, she would make sure he would suffer a lose. Since Yu Wen couldn’t be used anymore, killing him would give her a sense of satisfaction.

But again, she had severely underestimated Li Jun. For him, this collar was easy to deal with. The beeping sound became more frantic with the red bar showing the countdown growing faster.

Li Jun could resolve this quickly, but he still couldn’t help but be anxious so much so that his fingers trembled slightly as he tapped the floating screen. Yu Wen on the other hand was caressing Li Jun’s ear with a gaze so intense it burnt a hole through Li Jun’s soul. Unable to bear it anymore, Li Jun said, "If you keep staring at me like that, your head will get blown clean off." The emperor wasn’t worried, but the eunuch was.

Yu Wen had confidence in his man thus he wasn’t at all fazed. Xiu Ying’s actions were that of a dying fish. It was all out of desperation. Just as expected, before the bar had even reached the halfway point he collar made a clicking sound and it came off. Before he could even heave a sigh, he felt a large warm hand press against his lower back.

Li Jun, "..."

Even in this situation, this man was still horny as fuck.

"I have business to take care of," he said while pulling back. He had to catch up with that vile woman and end this. If he stayed here any longer, Yu Wen might persuade him to stay. By persuade he meant seduced.

As expected, Yu Wen tightened his grip pulling him even closer. His intense gaze lingered on Li Jun’s moist lips that were a little red from being kissed and sucked on earlier. He caressed the man’s lower lip with his thumb as he replied in a deep husky voice, "I will be waiting for you."

A glint of mischief flushed Li Jun’s dazzling eyes. He bit Yu Wen’s thumb his gaze alluring. Yu Wen who hadn’t expected such a sudden attack, swallowed his breath caught in his throat. When he felt that warm tongue brush past his skin, a wave of intense pleasure swept through his nerves making his shiver.

Just when he was about to respond to this unexpected provocation, the culprit broke free and left just like that. There was no goodbye or wait for me. Li Jun just left him standing there alone. His lips curled into a smug smile as he rubbed his thumb, still tingling against his index finger. He relished the sensation of Li Jun rushing to his rescue, finding a peculiar delight in playing the damsel in distress while his man kicked down doors to save him."

Li Jun had no idea what Yu Wen was thinking. If he knew he would have given him a few more slaps. He had already pinned Xiu Ying’s location and with a few taps on the floating screen, he vanished midflight.

Xiu Ying was in turmoil. She had tried every means to escape the imperial capital but no matter how many times she put in the coordinates to were her space craft was, she would reappear in the city. All her exit paths were blocked, and she was now in a panic frenzy.

She realized then that there was no way out. She couldn’t keep exposing herself like this. She had to find a place to lay low and communicate with her trusted confidant. That was the plan, but as she tapped the floating screen something suddenly slammed hard into her sending her straight into a building. Like a missile she flew straight into the concrete and reinforced glass wreaking havoc.
