Arc 4: Chapter 21
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes, making the sharp corners lift slightly, and the threat of death and danger exuded from his gaze.
“Get lost.”
Everyone living in the villa area was a power user. And for these people, after they had awakened their abilities, they got used to things going their way when they acted domineering. Unexpectedly, this young man who they’d never seen before told them to get lost.
“You’re new here right? Think you’re very powerful, don’t you? I’m telling you that our team has two hundred power users like you.” One of them said egotistically. He thought that the young man would start fearing him after he said so, maybe even kneel down and beg for mercy while admitting his mistake, and then hand over the dog obediently.
But the young man showed no reaction. He replied indifferently: “Is that so?”
Another man’s eyes judged Lu Ye from head to toe, and he said in a greasy manner: “Looks pretty good. Kid, you look like someone just begging to be taught a lesson. Wanna try, this brother will satisfy you.”
Lin Yuan, who couldn’t be bothered to care about these randos, exploded with anger at these words. He barked viciously: Arghh! How dare you want to bully my husband?! I will fight you! Obliterate you!
He was going to beat up this rotten man who covets other people’s husbands into a pig head!
Lin Yuan’s battle cry pierced everyone’s ears, but Lu Ye just glanced down with soft eyes and his murderous intent unconsciously calmed down.
He rubbed Lin Yuan’s head soothingly and he murmured: “Be good, don’t be angry.”
Lin Yuan howled at him, huffing: How can I not be angry? These people want to bully you!
Lu Ye really liked it when his lover worried about him. He lowered his head and kissed Lin Yuan and sucked in a big breath of Lin Yuan’s fluffy fur: “Thank you, Sui Sui, for being angry for me. But Sui Sui, you shouldn’t waste your energy on this kind of small matter, I can deal with it.”
Surprisingly, these words made Lin Yuan quiet down.
Lu Ye looked at Lin Yuan’s well-behaved appearance with a smile in his eyes.
Now that he had finished coaxing his baby, he finally spared a glance to the two obstacles standing in his way. The eyes he used to look at them were as if he considered them as dead people.
“What kind of look is that? Can’t wait for me to…”
Before the man could finish speaking, a mass of green vines suddenly shot up through the ground and grew wildly, wrapping around the men’s limbs, necks, and torsos and hanging them upside down in the air. Its speed was so fast that the two couldn’t even react and use their powers.
Lu Ye solved the obstacles in an instant. He whispered to Lin Yuan: “Sui Sui, I’m a little tired.”
Lin Yuan immediately yipped twice: Husband, you’re tired ya~ you can sit on my back.
He struggled in Lu Ye’s arms and wanted to jump down, but Lu Ye insisted on squatting and placing him on the ground gently.
The moment all fours were on the ground, Lin Yuan began to grow bigger, and finally turned into his original form of over two meters tall. His snout was longer, his sharp fangs peaked through, and his ice blue pupils were penetrating and cold.
Lu Ye could only hug the big wolf’s scruffy neck. Whenever he saw Lin Yuan like this, he always felt indescribably stimulated. He liked how dangerous Lin Yuan was in this form, and the conflicting desire to worship and conquer surged in his heart.
His whole person was careless and lazy, and he said lowly: “Sui Sui’s so beautiful, no wonder other people want to have you.”
Lin Yuan’s huge tail slapped the ground happily when he was praised. He still remembered the chestnut haired teenager and growled at the other: You see now? I am a wolf!!
The teenager witnessed the cute puppy turning into a ferocious beast and lost all of his interest in keeping a pet. He hid himself in Shen Su’s arms and trembled with fear: “Brother Shen there’s a monster! I’m scared!”
From the giant beast to the vines, Shen Su had an inkling of the two’s identity. He had also heard of the couple of third-level power users who had recently arrived at Nan City. One of them reported a power of transforming into a beast and the other had a plant power, which matched this situation perfectly.
He pushed away the teenager in his arms and was about to approach them when the white wolf roared at him.
Lin Yuan: Get lost! Stay away from my husband!!
This whole group of people were not good things!
Shen Su raised up both of his hands in a gesture of harmlessness and asked Lu Ye tentatively: “Lu Ye… Mr. Lu?”
Lu Ye looked over coldly and said: “Mr. Shen, is there anything else? If not, my lover and I will be heading back.”
Although he spoke politely, his cold voice carried a sense of oppression, making him not any less dangerous than the beast next to him.
Shen Su didn’t want to be enemies with this couple of third-level power users. Besides, the fault was on his side in this situation. If word got out, it wouldn't look good for him. The best course of action was to downplay the issue.
He grabbed the chestnut haired teenager and forced him to kneel in front of Lu Ye and Lin Yuan. He smiled: “My apologies, Mr. Lu and Mr. Lin. My person acted ignorantly and upset you both. You can punish him however you want, I will have no objections.”
The teenager tried to struggle and called out Brother Shen aggrievedly, but Shen Su didn’t feel any pity and scolded in a cold voice: “Kneel down.”
Only then did the teenager stop moving and knelt down humbly.
Lin Yuan looked down for Lu Ye’s opinion: Husband?
Lu Ye gently scratched Lin Yuan’s chin and said calmly: “Mr. Shen, you’re being too polite. My lover and I don’t mind small matters like this. We still have other things to do, goodbye.”
Lin Yuan was a little confused. That’s it? It’s over? Wasn’t Lu Ye the big villain? Shouldn’t someone who provokes the big villain be taught a big lesson?
As he was led away, Lin Yuan also belatedly reacted. Those two men were still hanging upside down.
So… they were going to keep on hanging like this?
In this 40 degree Celsius temperature, they’d probably be dried out by the end of the day right?
When they returned back to their villa, Lin Yuan changed back. He directly lay on Lu Ye and asked curiously: “Husband, will those two men outside be dried out at the end of the day?”
Lu Ye held Lin Yuan and the body under his palm was soft and warm, attracting all of his attention.
Lin Yuan realized that he was not wearing any clothes now, and it was a little dangerous to be so close to Lu Ye. He wanted to leave and put on some clothes first, when the hands around him increased their grip.
Lu Ye’s hoarse voice was close to Lin Yuan’s ear: “Why are you moving around?”
Lin Yuan’s legs were a little weak. The corners of his blue eyes were already flushed, and he whispered softly: “Husband… I want to put on clothes…”
Lu Ye’s hands sneaked around the young man’s body, dipping below the delicate waist, and slowly kneaded the two soft mounds.
“Why does Sui Sui want to wear clothes?”
Lin Yuan’s face was almost emitting steam from the heat. His hot breath hit Lu Ye’s neck and shoulder as he said shakily: “Husband… we already did it… this morning…not now…can we wait… to do it at night…”
The worst part was that Lu Ye was still teasing him and not giving him complete satisfaction. Lin Yuan couldn’t stand this kind of slow torture.
After a while, Lu Ye felt the body in his arms tremble and still, and he finally stopped his hand movements.
A vine came over and handed him Lin Yuan’s clothes, and Lu Ye helped the boneless young man wear them one by one. When he was done, he picked him up and walked into the living room.
Lin Yuan nestled in Lu Ye’s arms and the tears in his eyes gradually dissipated. He was quick to change the topic: “Husband, you haven’t answered me yet. What if they dry out?”
“If they dry out, they dry out.”
Thinking of that scene, Lin Yuan felt a little disgusted. He said: “Then I won’t go out these days, I’m afraid I’ll see it and get nightmares.”
He didn’t condemn Lu Ye for killing those two men at all. Those people were obviously used to abusing their power, and Lu Ye acted in self defense. In the end of the world, if you were merciful, then prepared to get stabbed in the back.
But, Lu Ye wasn’t actually planning to kill them. He kissed Lin Yuan and smiled: “I’ll let them go in two hours.”
Lin Yuan was fine with any of his decisions: “Okay.”
“But they still have to pay the price.” Lu Ye said darkly, and his inky eyes were deep.
Two days later, Lin Yuan finally understood what Lu Ye meant.
“Have you heard? Two of the power users in Shen Su’s group suddenly couldn’t use their powers.”
