Ch17 – Front.

Editor: LotusEater

Lu Mo ran back to his room and fell head first onto the soft mattress. 

The system dryly comforted him: [Although your momentum wasn’t that good, at least you read the lines.]

Although you looked like a big tsundere, it was better than directly turning and running away.

 

 

Lu Mo, in a muffled voice, said: “Does Ling hate me more today?”

The system couldn’t bear to say: […Maybe a bit.] 

“I don’t understand!”

 

Lu Mo hammered the bedspread with his fist and sat up, saying angrily, “Am I not bad enough for him?

“I took him by force! I beat his white moonlight! I threatened him! I used him! I’m simply a naked scumbag!!

“That’s not enough, I even thought of him as an egg-laying machine—a hundred, a hundred! Do you dare believe it?” Lu Mo said, drawing in a cold breath at the thought.
“Good heavens, I even admired myself at the time, that line was simply a stroke of genius!”

 

The system agreed again and again: [Indeed, indeed.]

Lu Mo spoke with an expressionless face, “Then, you tell me where the problem is?”

[…… Perhaps, it’s that he’s still waiting for an opportunity.] The system cautiously analyzed: [He’s the legion commander, he can endure what normal people can’t.]

Lu Mo raised his eyebrows: “Even if I never let him be with Song Jianshu?” 

System: [Yes.]

Lu Mo pinched his chin and thought calmly for a while.

Details that had not been seriously considered before came to his mind.

The zerg world was different from the human world.
He always took it for granted— that as long as he forcibly beat the mandarin ducks with sticks, Ling would undoubtedly wish to kill him. 

But that was wrong.

He must abandon the human mind and use the zerg mind to see the world.

Having figured that out, he suddenly blessed his own heart and patted his thigh fiercely, “I see!”

The system was absent-minded: [Huh?] 

“I made a mistake in my steps!” Lu Mo said, “If you think about it, females respect males, and I became Ling’s master a step too early, so the object he desires to be loyal to becomes me!

“In this case, is it useful for me to do something to Song Jianshu? It’s completely useless!”

 

System: […….]

It had always felt like something was wrong, but couldn’t find the problem. 

It had to ask: [So, how are you going to solve it?]

“Simple.”

Lu Mo slumped back and relaxed on the big, soft bed, “Song Jianshu is nowhere to be found, there’s only one thing I can do.

“To remind him of his true love, and thus make him betray his natural instincts to strike me down in anger.” 

System: ?

Song Jianshu was considerate, wasn’t he? Then, he(Lu Mo) should have a thorough princess disease.

Come to think of it, how could Ling, a zerg with such a high degree of vigilance still sleep soundly under the deathly gaze of Lu Mo. 

After waiting for ten minutes or so, Lu Mo’s eyes lost first.

He pinched Ling’s cheek: “How can you still be asleep?”

Ling opened his eyes in daze, glanced at Lu Mo and then fell back to sleep.

Lu Mo: ??? 

He was furious: “You mere cheap zerg, who gave you the guts to still be so presumptuous in front of your Master?”

The next second, he was pulled into a warm embrace.
Ling nuzzled his chin against the nook of his shoulder, mumbling vaguely, “I know you’re in a hurry, but it’s still early……”

 

Lu Mo: “……”

He lifted the quilt angrily: “Get up and cook for me!” 

Obviously there was a cook at home, and they were even the best cook on that barren planet, but he still wanted Ling to get up and cook for him at near five o’clock in the morning–when the chickens weren’t even up.

Ling rubbed his nose against the side of Lu Mo’s neck and said helplessly, “Okay, but the food I make is not very delicious.”

That was what he wanted.

Lu Mo’s eyes lit up— this way, he could make trouble unreasonably and let Ling redo it over and over again. 

He got up, “Just to be clear, I’m very picky.”

The corners of Ling’s mouth twitched helplessly: “Okay.”

He was really a willful and spoiled male, but what could be done?

Just like that, in the Lu Family Manor, before even six o’clock, the fragrance of food wafted about. 

Ling carried a plate out of the kitchen and placed it on the table: “Master, please have a taste.”

Lu Mo snorted lightly, observing the food Ling had made.

It was a plate of sticky, yellowish substance with no visible chewing material.
He sneered, “Did you make a cub’s milkshake?”

Ling said thoughtfully: “It’s true that many cubs like it.” 

Lu Mo smelled its fragrance again, but apart from the faint aroma of vegetables, he could not smell anything.

He fiddled with his spoon in disgust and finally condescended to take a small bite.

The smile at the corner of Ling’s mouth slowly widened: “Master, what do you think?”

Lu Mo had to admit that it was indeed the best thing he had eaten since he had come to this world. 

As that was the case, he should take a real bite before insulting Ling.

Another bite.

 

……The last bite!

Then, he swallowed the last bit.
Lu Mo slowly wiped his mouth with his napkin, “It’s terrible.” 

System: […..]

He could really speak.

Ling said sincerely, “Please give me the chance to make amends, Master.
Let me try again.”

Lu Mo thought that it should be okay, as he had already enjoyed himself.
This time, he would definitely be able to smash the plate at Ling. 

Ten minutes later.

“Master, please let me try again.
”

“…..Go ahead.”

“Master, can I do it again?” 

“……Can.”

“Master—”

Lu Mo clutched his stomach and burped, “Forget it, I’m about to vomit.”

Ling arched his eyebrows, “Okay, then please advise me on my craftsmanship next time.” 

Lu Mo nodded and said weakly, “Help me up.”

Ling’s face finally showed a bit of guilt, “I blame my poor craftsmanship for making Master reluctantly instruct me so many times.”

Lu Mo glared at him and went to stand in front of the mirror, carefully arranging his clothes.

The shirt was adorned with expensive lace and his snow-white cuffs were buttoned with sky-blue jewels to ensure that it looked flawless. 

Then there was the coat made of thick and well-made fabrics, of which were taken care of by the butler.
Even after putting it on, not a single trace of wrinkles were to be seen.

Finally, there were shiny deerskin boots.
One couldn’t forget to bring a bow tie either—unlike a zipper bow tie, it should be deliberately placed crooked.

 

Lu Mo looked at himself with great satisfaction: “Gentle scum.”

The system agreed: [Clothed beast.] 

That temperament was particularly in line with what they were to do today.

Ling went back to his room to change clothes, then tied his hair up and came out of the room, continuing to tidy up his long silver hair as he walked.

His movements were much more proficient than Lu Mo.
With a single glance, one could see that he had dealt with etiquette for years at the least.

Seeing him, Ling’s eyes lit up: “Today’s dress suits you well.” 

Ling’s placket wasn’t buttoned properly, revealing a delicate collarbone; solid muscles could be faintly seen.

If Lu Mo’s beauty was as a delicate teenager at the moment, then Ling’s whole body exuded the unique charm of a mature adult.

His shoulders were wide,his waist narrow, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharp and straight.
Whether it was his thick and long eyelashes or the plump of his lips, everything about him revealed a great deal of sexual and sensual charm.

Lu Mo unnaturally averted his eyes, his cheeks slightly red: “…..What kind of style is this!” 

Ling’s movements paused slightly; his beautiful red eyes stared at the side of Lu Mo’s face for a long while.
A smile flashed across the corners of his lips.

When the arrogant male was about to get angry, he promptly changed the subject: “Master, your car was sent for repair, but hasn’t been sent back yet.”

The butler chimed in at that time: “The spare car has been parked outside.
”

Lu Mo said disdainfully, “Don’t speculate on me with the thinking of a pauper.” 

He looked like a proud and beautiful little peacock with his head held high.
Ling didn’t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, and let out a low laugh.
The laughter was akin to some kind of mellow musical instrument.

Dissatisfied, Lu Mo said, “Your Excellency, do you find something wrong with my statement?”

Ling finally couldn’t hold on.
He pressed against his stomach, smiled to contain the laugher that was making his shoulders shake, and replied in a trembling voice: “No, nothing, I just—”

He blinked at Lu Mo: “I just admire your strong financial resources.” 

[Obtain flattery that is completely unworthy of virtue, the scum value has increased by one.]

Lu Mo: “……”

 

They drove to the most prosperous area in the city.

But they drove straight past all the high-fashion dress shops, and finally stopped in front of one that was gaudily decorated. 

All zerg with at least a little common sense would know what was sold there.

They were disciplinary tools for females.

Wasn’t Song Jianshu gentle and considerate, one could be sure that none of those sorts of things had ever appeared within his home.

Just by standing in the doorway, Lu Mo could see the dazzling array of oddly shaped, creepy things inside, and he was satisfied. 

Ling stared at it all in a daze, his face gradually turning pale.

Lu Mo was extremely excited, “Look! It worked!”

The system was also very impressed: [I underestimated you!]

Ling, however, could hear nothing at that point, inside his head was a jumbled mess. 

Master, what does this mean?

Yes, he remembered.

Lu Mo once said that he would let him go back to work, but as the legion commander, his position was in the Imperial Star.

Lu Mo’s home was on a barren star, how could he possibly go to the Imperial Star? That was why he had to buy such things, to directly control him from a distance. 

“Go in.”

He heard the male’s cold voice.

Ling lowered his head, but a gloomy fire gradually ignited in those bright red eyes.

——You said that I would never be able to leave you. 

Lu Mo, don’t you ever leave me.
