The Alpha, who just moments ago appeared like a world-ending demon in Jiang Ni’s eyes, suddenly showed a look of care and tension.
He swiftly turned around, catching the falling cat from the sky, cradling it securely in his arms. A large, fluffy ball of fur landed in his embrace.
It was a cat with beautiful silver fur all over its body, a cute pink nose, amber eyes filled with moonlight, glistening as it looked back at him. The cat stretched out its limbs relaxedly, nestling in the man’s arms, with a fluffy, bushy tail behind it.
As lovely as an angel descending from the heavens.
Catching the cascading moonlight.
“Meow.”
The voice near his ear was like heavenly music.
“Tangtang!”
Xie Qingzhi’s voice was filled with a pleasantly surprised tone.
Though this cat was much smaller than the one he had seen before, Xie Qingzhi recognized it at first glance – it was his cat.
Unique and the most beautiful cat.
There was another thud.
Xie Qingzhi turned around to find another small, fluffy mess lying on the ground.
A chaotic little bundle.
There were a few light brown cat hairs slowly drifting down to the ground.
“Meow meow meow!”
The little coffee-colored cat, looking disheveled, scrambled to its feet, grumbling.
Its face almost flattened.
Darn it, what kind of high-tech window was this?
It didn’t just open slowly, but suddenly disappeared in a “whoosh”.
Fortunately, its fur was thick and dense, and it had accumulated a fair amount of fat over time.
Otherwise, it would have been squashed into a cat cake.
It lifted its head, eager to find its host.
Then it saw Tang Qing, every strand of fur being protected carefully, cradled securely in the man’s arms.
“Meow!”
Sorrow surrounded it like a lemon.
Why didn’t it receive such treatment?
Was it because its fur wasn’t long enough? Was it because its voice wasn’t sweet enough?
At that moment, the door to the treatment room swung open, and Deputy Will rushed in from outside, urgently saying:
“Your Grace, unidentified creatures have been detected in the treatment room…”
Interrupted mid-sentence, Will looked at Xie Qingzhi holding a beautiful cat in his arms, a dumbfounded cat on the floor, and a barely conscious Omega lying nearby, feeling puzzled.
“Xiao Jiang…?”
Will was a bit confused, unable to fathom why such a situation had unfolded.
“Throw this Omega out for me,” Xie Qingzhi pointed disdainfully at the fragile Omega lying on the ground, showing no mercy.
“And this cat, get it…” Xie Qingzhi pointed at the cat squatting on the floor, speaking coldly.
“Meow!!!”
“Meow~”
Both cats looked at Xie Qingzhi simultaneously.
Xie Qingzhi automatically ignored the little black-eyed cat glaring at him from the ground, focusing instead on the Maine Coon in his arms.
The Maine Coon extended its front paw, giving the man’s sleeve a gentle scratch.
The furry head of the cat tilted up, looking at the man, then glanced at the coffee-colored cat on the ground, shook its head, and let out a “meow” as if expressing disagreement.
“The one on the ground, just find a cage and keep it there.” Xie Qingzhi changed his mind.
Will felt that the scene before him was rather odd.
The cat in the arms of His Grace Xie Qingzhi not only was exceptionally beautiful, with a gentle and obedient gaze but also seemed to understand human language.
And Xie Qingzhi’s attitude towards this cat, it was truly out of the ordinary, wasn’t it?
He even doubted that His Grace Xie Qingzhi’s tenderness towards this cat surpassed that towards his wife, the legendary number one beauty in the empire.
However, having followed the Duke for so long, he was very clear about his duties and knew not to ask unnecessary questions.
Following the orders received, he efficiently led the man and the cat out of the treatment room once everyone else had left.
After everyone else had left the treatment room, Xie Qingzhi carefully examined the cat in his arms, ensuring that it hadn’t suffered any harm, not even losing a single hair.
The man held the cat tightly in his arms.
Feeling the soft warmth in his arms, his tense heart finally found peace.
Tang Qing leaned against the man’s sturdy chest, feeling the heat emanating from his chest due to his rut, along with his strong and rapid heartbeat.
In the three days since being taken by Shen Yanxia, Tang Qing had remained unusually calm, quiet, and composed, calmly considering and seeking opportunities for survival.
Because he knew that his Duke would undoubtedly come looking for him.
Yet, it wasn’t until he was securely cradled in the man’s arms that he realized, only by returning to Xie Qingzhi’s side, did he truly feel a long-lost sense of tranquility.
The man, regarded by all as a demon, had an embrace that was sturdy and warm, possessing a magical quality that made him feel truly and completely at ease.
The cat couldn’t help but lift its head, snuggling against the man’s chest, affectionately rubbing against his neck, warm and tender.
The furry being filled his heart.
“Tangtang, can you change back now?” Xie Qingzhi asked.
The cat nodded.
Tang Qing then remembered that Xie Qingzhi was still in his rut, prone to sudden outbursts, and it was better for him to return to human form to take care of him.
Suddenly, a beauty appeared out of nowhere, landing in the man’s arms.
“Tangtang, are you afraid of me?”
The man’s mask had long fallen off, revealing a face that was usually hidden from sight.
Half handsome and extraordinary, half fierce and ugly.
This was the second time the man had asked Tang Qing this question.
Gazing directly at his husband’s flawed face at such close range, Tang Qing once again firmly answered the man:
“Your Grace, I am not afraid of you.”
As Tang Qing spoke, he reached out and caressed the man’s face.
The man stiffened for a moment at Tang Qing’s sudden touch.
This time, however, the man did not push away Tang Qing’s hand.
The rough texture of those raised scars seemed to tell the world what a hideous and sinful Alpha he was.
Yet, this most beautiful person in the empire gently touched these scars as if they were as beautiful as the finest silk.
Tang Qing gently closed his eyes, his hands resting on the man’s shoulders, tilting his slender and fragile neck up, like a sacrificial lamb.
A devout kiss fell on the man’s ugly right cheek.
Crystal tears rolled down Tang Qing’s face.
“Tangtang, what’s wrong?”
Tang Qing did not answer, only continued to delicately kiss each scar.
Like a kiss from an angel.
When the soft red lips met the deepest and longest scar, a wave of bitterness surged uncontrollably in Xie Qingzhi’s heart.
He knew it; his wife was not afraid of him.
From the very first day they met, Tang Qing was not deterred by the bloody and frenzied side he had revealed.
Instead, he bravely approached him step by step, walking into his life.
Slowly mending his own dirty and broken heart.
Those scars he thought he no longer cared about,
It turned out, they were still branded in his heart.
Quietly decaying.
Until this moment,
It was gently smoothed by someone who cherished it.
“Your Grace, I am not afraid of you,” Tang Qing repeated once again,
“I only fear leaving you.”
Tang Qing’s tender face pressed against the man’s, wholeheartedly relying on him.
Every inch of Xie Qingzhi, whether it was his handsome face, his sensual body, or his fierce scars, was everything he loved.
They formed the man he loved the most.
“Tangtang.”
“Do not leave me again, or else,” the man held the person in his arms, suppressing the crimson madness that surged in his eyes, “I don’t know what I might do.”
Tang Qing nodded.
The Alpha in his rut held his wife tightly, as if grasping a lifeline.
He buried his head in his Beta wife’s neck,
Breathing in the faint scent of orchids.
Living up to the reputation of the empire’s number one beauty, every part of the youth was flawlessly beautiful.
His neck was elegantly slender, as beautiful as a swan’s, delicate and fragile. Even his earlobes were white and soft, tinged with a hint of pink due to embarrassment.
The person in his arms had skin as smooth and soft as snow, each part perfect and tender.
Even the two points on his chest were as delicious as fresh cherries.
Irresistible.
More cherished than any priceless treasure the man had collected, it was something one couldn’t bear to part with.
His priceless treasure.
His immaculate body stirred the strings of desire within the man, causing Xie Qingzhi’s entire being to boil with passion.
In a place unseen by Tang Qing, the Alpha in his rut’s gaze gradually became intense and revealing, as if wanting to take in every inch of Tang Qing’s body, inch by inch caressing his delicate skin.
“Your Grace, could you help me get some clothes?”
The two had been embracing for a long time, and Tang Qing finally realized that he was feeling a bit “breezy”.
In the heat of the moment, he hadn’t noticed it as he went habitually nude as a cat, he had actually forgotten about this.
“Tangtang.”
However, the man did not respond to him. Instead, he bared his teeth, caressing the fair and tender skin of Tang Qing’s neck.
Using sharp teeth to bite and nibble at the tender flesh of his neck.
“Your Grace…?”
Tang Qing, in fact, did not resist what was about to happen.
He just didn’t understand why Xie Qingzhi, as an Alpha in his rut, kept biting his non-existent glands.
“Tangtang, you smell so good here.”
The pheromones belonging to the top Alpha of the Imperial Star were so potent that Tang Qing felt like he was soaking in a frozen cedar lake, shivering uncontrollably.
“Tangtang, I can’t wait any longer.”
Tang Qing was pressed onto the cold iron bed in the treatment room, the icy touch of the bed making him shiver involuntarily.
But soon, he started to feel hot…
The Alpha in his rut couldn’t concentrate, constantly in a state of agitation.
Now, only one thing was on his mind.
Suppressing his desires, he slowly inserted his slender fingers into that overly tight place, patiently stretching and preparing his wife, who had just turned eighteen.
Tang Qing knew what was about to happen.
This wasn’t their first time.
Yet, he still clenched his fingers, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterflies, his face flushed, his skin all over heating up.
No matter how many times it happened, he couldn’t avoid feeling a bit nervous.
“Tangtang, don’t be afraid.” As the man’s fingers brushed over the most sensitive part of the youth, the boy’s body involuntarily trembled.
“I will be gentle.”
