Exterminating the Alien Beasts

Chu Sui was a rich young master who had been pampered since birth. His shoulders weren't particularly broad; they could even be called a bit thin. But since some unknown time, he had developed a sense of maturity that one could rely on.

He kicked open the bedroom door, walked in, and placed Arno on the bed. However, before he could straighten up, a strong force came from the back of his neck. Immediately after, a warmth covered his lips, and his position was reversed as Arno pressed him down.

Chu Sui raised an eyebrow, not quite satisfied with this position.

Arno lowered his eyes and kissed him. Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, he chuckled softly and said, "I'm sorry..."

After speaking, he flipped over, letting the Male Zerg be on top while he lay underneath. Only then was Chu Sui satisfied. Through a thin layer of clothing, he silently felt the wounds on Arno's back. They were slightly hard, likely having scabbed over already. He couldn't help but marvel inwardly at the Female Zerg's heaven-defying recovery ability.

Chu Sui propped himself up by his side and asked with an ambiguous tone, "Does it hurt?"

As expected, Arno shook his head. "It doesn't hurt..."

Chu Sui glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Why did you go to the Punishment Chamber to be punished?"

Hearing this, Arno was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Because I made a mistake at work, so I was disciplined. It's always like this in the Military Department."

Actually, even if he didn't say, Chu Sui could have found out. After all, offices were never short of gossip and rumors. Although the matter of Arno privately dispatching a team to search the Capet residence was kept secret, there's no such thing as a wall that doesn't leak. Moreover, since Arno had always been known for his rigorous conduct, his sudden punishment of thirty lashes from the Light Whip had long been the subject of wild speculation among the subordinates.

But since he didn't say, Chu Sui didn't press the matter.

Chu Sui took Arno's hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed his wound. The warm tip of his tongue stirred a silent palpitation. Arno subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back. "Male Master..."

Chu Sui raised a faint eyebrow. "Didn't you just cry out in pain in the kitchen? It doesn't hurt now?"

After he spoke, he placed a kiss on Arno's wrist before letting go. Then he bent down and kissed his lips. Amidst their intimate caresses and incessant panting, he vaguely heard Arno ask uncertainly again, "You... really aren't going to marry a Female Attendant?"

While finding him troublesome, Chu Sui also found himself being strangely patient and hummed in agreement. "You alone are more than enough for me to handle."

Hearing this, Arno's voice tightened, suddenly carrying a hint of difficulty. He subconsciously repeated, "...Me alone?"

Chu Sui bit down hard on his earlobe, the kind that really hurt, as if wanting him to remember this. "Just you. Satisfied?"

The response was Arno's grip suddenly tightening, nearly squeezing the breath out of him. That afternoon, to get rid of Director Laijin, Chu Sui had casually fabricated that his kidneys were weak. It was originally a lie, but while dealing with this suddenly overly proactive Female Zerg, he felt that it might not be such a distant reality after all.

Unconsciously, night had fallen. The curtains hadn't been drawn, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could clearly see the blue-toned night outside, dotted with twinkling stars that were clearer and more brilliant than those seen from Earth.

Chu Sui moved, about to get up, when a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his waist. Arno had silently hugged him from behind. His eyes lifted and fell gently, his voice carrying a lazy, raspy post-coital quality, yet with a bit more of a muted allure than usual. "Male Master..."

Arno nuzzled him, his silver hair falling onto Chu Sui's shoulder, bringing a tickling sensation.

That strange feeling surfaced in Chu Sui's heart again. He couldn't quite describe it; it was a little ticklish, and he felt a little like hiding. He used a bit of force to pull Arno's hands off, then draped some clothes on and went to the bathroom.

Seeing the bathroom door close, Arno watched quietly for a long while before withdrawing his gaze. For the first time in his life, a subtle sense of frustration arose in his heart. He sat up in bed, the thin blanket sliding off silently, revealing a fair and sturdy body. The mottled red marks on his collarbone had not yet faded, making him look somewhat decadent.

For some reason, the marks left by kisses always faded slower than the wounds branded by instruments of torture.

Arno's Light Computer was on the nightstand. The message notification had lit up several times, silently blinking in the light of the bedside lamp. He picked it up and saw it was a notice for a Military Department meeting tomorrow, then put it back down.

He got up from the bed, put on some clothes, then pushed open the bathroom door and walked in. Chu Sui was taking a bath in the tub. Caught off guard by his entrance, Chu Sui's brows twitched subconsciously, but he didn't say anything.

Arno knelt by the edge of the bathtub. His long, powerful hands landed on his shoulders and began to knead with appropriate force. He looked down at the crown of Chu Sui's head and smiled. "Let me serve you, alright?"

Chu Sui... Of course, Chu Sui let him do as he pleased.

Those hands were too familiar with his body, and coupled with their experience of holding precise firearms, every bit of force was just right. Just as Chu Sui was growing drowsy, Arno's voice suddenly sounded by his ear. "...Male Master, a new wave of Alien Beasts has broken out on Planet Kasluo. The higher-ups will likely dispatch the Third Army and the Fourth Army to exterminate them together."

Planet Kasluo was one of The Empire's largest Crystal Mines. The Alien Beasts were not only cruel and bloodthirsty, but they would also destroy Crystal Veins to make their nests, and their reproductive ability was exceedingly strong. Exterminating them was an urgent matter. In a way, they were an even trickier existence than interstellar pirates.

Chu Sui opened his eyes. 'Isn't Arno in the Fourth Army?' he thought. "You have to go too?"

Arno's hands, which were massaging his shoulders, paused. "It's not certain yet."

In truth, he already had a faint guess in his heart but couldn't be sure. He could only attend the Military Department meeting tomorrow to see how the higher-ups arranged it. Arno silently submerged into the water, embracing Chu Sui amidst the gentle ripples. He rested his chin on his shoulder, his blue eyes appearing somewhat bewitching in the mist. "If I go, will the Male Master be worried?"

Worried?

Chu Sui glanced at him. "What is there to worry about? If you leave, I'll just marry another Female Attendant to serve me."

He had been soaking in the water for too long. After speaking, he wanted to get up, but a splash erupted as Arno suddenly pulled him back. His back was pressed tightly against the edge of the bathtub, and his wrists were gripped, rendering him immobile.

Arno's silver hair was soaked, somewhat dripping wet, and all combed back, which made his facial features appear even more three-dimensional and handsome. He tilted his head and kissed the side of Chu Sui's face, his breath lingering by his ear, still gentle. "Male Master, but you said you wouldn't marry another Female Attendant..."

So, you can't marry again.

Isn't having him enough?

One is enough, Chu Sui said it himself...

Arno kissed Chu Sui's lips, plundering gently yet forcefully. His words gradually submerged between their lips and teeth, his voice low and indistinct, as if reminding him of something. "You said it yourself..."

Arno had been showing a growing tendency to turn the tables lately. Chu Sui secretly raised an eyebrow. 'So what if I said it myself?' he thought. 'He also said he wanted to be an astronaut and go to space when he was a kid.'

A Male Monarch abandoning his Male Master, who couldn't take care of himself, to go exterminate some ugly Alien Beasts was simply preposterous.

Chu Sui broke free from Arno's restraint, then pinned him against the edge of the tub and bit him hard. Satisfied upon hearing his muffled grunt, Arno opened his wet blue eyes to look at him, his eyelids trembling. "Male Master..."

He looked quite pitiful...

Chu Sui's breath hitched, his movements pausing imperceptibly. Then, he changed the bite into a kiss, cupped the back of Arno's head, and lingered slowly by his lips for a moment. For a second, some words reached the tip of his tongue but couldn't be spoken. Finally, he rose from the water, casually grabbed a piece of clothing to drape over himself, and pulled Arno up along with him.

If you dare to go, I'll dare to marry. That's what Chu Sui was currently thinking.

The next morning, Arno took a flyer to the Military Department. Chu Sui was on leave today and was currently at home, sleeping in. Because exterminating the Alien Beasts was a matter of great importance, most of the senior members of the Military Department were present at this meeting. There were none of the usual absences or late arrivals.

The long conference table was filled with military officers in uniform. Apart from their different ranks and military branches, they were also faintly divided into two factions, a rather complete gathering. For example, if a light bomb were to be dropped here at this moment, the entire military system of The Empire would be instantly paralyzed.

This time, the Alien Beasts had completed a new round of evolution. Their speed and strength had increased by more than just a little. Ordinary energy guns would find it difficult to kill them with a single shot unless they hit the eyes directly.

Through the projected light screen, everyone could clearly see what the Alien Beasts looked like after their evolution. At first glance, they somewhat resembled the dinosaurs of ancient times, but they were far more ferocious. Their exposed bodies were covered in dense scales, with a defense comparable to a C-rank mecha. Their teeth were as sharp as steel and could tear their prey to shreds in an instant.

This extermination mission was clearly a bit tricky. The Military Department was full of belligerent and valiant brutes, yet at this moment, none of them spoke up. Military merit was important, but rushing into battle without a clear understanding of the situation would only be sending them to their deaths.

Of course, Alvin was an exception; he was famously unafraid of death.

The one chairing the meeting this time was The First Army's Admiral Morin. His brows were deeply furrowed, clearly vexed by the Alien Beast tide. "A batch of Alien Beast test subjects has already been escorted back from the front lines and is currently being studied, but we have yet to find their weaknesses. Over 26% of the Crystal Vein has already been damaged. Lieutenant General Alvin has volunteered to lead the Third Army's troops to exterminate them, but the Alien Beasts' reproductive rate is too fast. The strength of the Third Army alone is far from enough; a second assisting force is needed."

Using the table as cover, Alvin discreetly kicked Arno, signaling for him to volunteer for the extermination mission with him.

Arno shot him a glance, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing together. He was clearly also pondering, but for some reason, he seemed hesitant. The Third Army and the Fourth Army had always cooperated closely. At this moment, someone suddenly suggested, "Why not have Lieutenant General Arno assist in the battle? He and Alvin are old partners; it couldn't be more suitable."

Hearing this, Alvin almost laughed out loud, just short of giving a thumbs-up.

As soon as this was said, even Admiral Morin looked over. In his heart, he was also more inclined towards the Fourth Army, but seeing Arno remain silent the whole time, he couldn't just call him out directly. Now, going with the flow, he said, "Lieutenant General Arno, the Third Army and the Fourth Army have always operated jointly. Are you willing to go with Lieutenant General Alvin to exterminate the Alien Beasts?"

Arno: "..."

A military order was absolute. It was obvious that at a time like this, they weren't truly asking for his opinion. Arno glanced at the gloating Alvin, then stood up from his seat and gave a slight nod to Admiral Morin. "It is my utmost honor to serve The Empire."

Upon hearing this, Admiral Morin's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. He gave Arno an appreciative look, then said two words in a thunderous voice, "Meeting dismissed!"

As his adjutant, Fedi was waiting outside. Seeing the conference room door open and the officers walking out in twos and threes, he spotted Arno's figure and hurried over. "Lieutenant General, how did the meeting go?"

The matter of exterminating the Alien Beasts was causing a huge stir. If Arno was ordered to fight, he, as the adjutant, would definitely have to follow. Unexpectedly, before Arno could speak, Alvin had already spoken up first. "Your Fourth Army will soon be fighting alongside me on Planet Kasluo. Adjutant Fedi, you'd better hurry up and pack your things, hmm?"

After speaking, he patted his shoulder, then shot a mocking glance at Arno before turning to leave.

Fedi was dumbfounded, his expression stunned. "Lieutenant General, are you really going to fight as well?"

Leaving aside how dangerous the front-line battlefield was, just on the matter of having a family to support, Arno couldn't be compared to that single Zerg, Alvin. Was it really okay to leave a delicate and precious Male Master at home alone?

Alvin hadn't gone far. Hearing his words, he suddenly turned back and gave Arno a smiling salute. "Lieutenant General Arno, if you're unwilling to go, that's fine. It's just that the next time we meet, you'll need to salute me—Admiral Alvin, understand?"

They were comrades-in-arms, but also rivals. No matter who ended up with a lower rank, neither would be convinced in their heart.

Hearing this, Arno slightly lifted the brim of his military cap. "Then I wish you good luck, Lieutenant General Alvin. But before that, you must first clear the demerit from the last time you brawled."

Merits and demerits could cancel each other out. It was still a bit too early for Alvin to be promoted to Admiral. As soon as Arno said this, the latter was indeed angered to the point of exasperation, and he left with a cold snort and a flick of his sleeve.

Having followed Arno for many years, Fedi keenly sensed the imperceptible anxiety beneath his calm tone. Seeing Alvin walk away, he tentatively asked, "Lieutenant General, are you worried about the Alien Beast problem?"

Fedi didn't understand.

Exterminating powerful Alien Beasts was not the problem.

Fighting alongside that pest Alvin was not the problem either.

The problem was the Male Zerg at home who was clamoring to marry a new Female Attendant.

Arno frowned slightly and said only two words, "Go home."

With no work today, Chu Sui lazily got up and washed at noon. After being busy for so long, he suddenly had free time and didn't quite know what to do. He got dressed and went downstairs, casually turning on a StarNet program. He discovered it was broadcasting news about the Alien Beast tide on Planet Kasluo. It was said that the Crystal Mine had been severely damaged.

The human world used money, while the Zerg Race used Crystal Coins. In a sense, crystals were a hard currency comparable to gold. Therefore, the crystal mines had always been heavily guarded, and the purchasing rights had always been controlled by The Empire.

The Alien Beasts survived by absorbing a special kind of energy from the crystal mines and liked to lay their eggs and multiply in shiny places. Their speed was comparable to a queen bee in a hive. In less than half a month, they would completely destroy the Crystal Vein, showing just how troublesome a creature they were.

The war correspondent on the front lines sent back a video. The scene was incredibly bloody. The Alien Beasts were swift, and in just a few moves, they bit the opposing Zerg soldiers until their limbs were severed. The whole screen was filled with blood.

Why didn't they at least put a mosaic...

Chu Sui's face turned green from watching, and he even lost his appetite for food. He ran his fingers through his hair, a little frustrated, thinking that it seemed like an Alien Beast tide had also broken out in his past life. The Empire sent troops to suppress it but suffered heavy losses. How did they discover the Alien Beasts' weakness in the end?

Hiss...

Chu Sui frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't remember. After all, you couldn't expect a salted fish who was just lazing his life away to actively care about national affairs. Being able to glance at the news for a bit each day was already a remarkable achievement.

He remembered what Arno had said yesterday and unconsciously paced back and forth in the living room. The Alien Beasts had evolved to be so powerful now, even more so than the Tyrannosaurus Rex on Earth. If Arno led troops to exterminate them, wouldn't that just be waiting for death? If Arno died, wouldn't he have to live as a widow?

The housekeeping robot diligently moved around the living room, seemingly never tired. Chu Sui glanced at it and deliberately blocked its path. When the housekeeping robot went left, he went left. When it went right, he also went right. A typical act of bullying.

The housekeeping robot swept back and forth over his shoes. "Trash, trash, I love trash."

Chu Sui scoffed, "You're the trash."

The moment Arno entered, he saw this scene. His eyes were gentle. After a moment, he closed the door behind him. Hearing the slight sound of the door closing, Chu Sui looked over and realized Arno was off work. He finally stopped his childish behavior and slowly retracted his obstructing leg.

Chu Sui walked over to the sofa and sat down. "Why are you back so early today?"

Arno didn't speak, momentarily unsure of how to explain. He glanced at the barely touched food on the table. "Have you eaten?"

Chu Sui shook his head. It was obvious he hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch.

Meeting Chu Sui's black eyes, Arno inexplicably wanted to hug him. In fact, he did just that. He knelt on one knee on the sofa, silently hugged his waist, and then buried his face in the crook of Chu Sui's neck. The familiar scent filled his nostrils as he asked in a low voice, "Shall I go prepare lunch for you?"

Chu Sui fiddled with Arno's hair, inexplicably recalling the gory scenes from the news just now. His stomach churned, and he shook his head. "I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later."

Arno didn't insist and maintained his previous posture, quietly leaning in his arms. Chu Sui also, for once, didn't move. He wrapped his arms around his shoulders, fiddling with the epaulets on Arno's military uniform jacket, only then realizing that the other party was already a Lieutenant General.

Chu Sui: "..."

This promotion speed was really a bit too shocking. Even Chu Sui's sliver of male pride, so faint it was almost invisible, couldn't help but ache.

He, after all, was just a small clerk. This was truly tragic.

Arno leaned against Chu Sui, still contemplating how to tell him about going to exterminate the Alien Beasts. The Light Computer on his wrist suddenly flashed. It was a message from Adjutant Fedi. In three hours, the first batch of troops would be assembled to head to Planet Kasluo together.

Arno glanced at it coolly, then turned off the Light Computer.

He couldn't describe the feeling. His heart suddenly felt heavy. He had never felt this way before. He looked at Chu Sui, then took the initiative to wrap his arms around his neck. A moment later, he said softly, "Male Master, can you hold me?"

'Aren't I already holding you?' Chu Sui thought, but he still slowly tightened his arms, letting him sit on his lap.

Arno's blue eyes watched him quietly, then slowly drew closer, only to stop a few millimeters away. Their breaths intertwined. Although nothing was said, Chu Sui somehow got his meaning.

They were so close that they didn't need to move; a slight tilt of the head was enough to kiss, like two inseparable magnets. The moment their lips and tongues touched, it was like a fish entering water, and then it became unstoppable.

Arno kissed Chu Sui forcefully, his fingertips slowly running through his thick hair. The black and white contrasted sharply. The thought of not being able to see Chu Sui for a while made his actions a bit fierce, as he desperately plundered the thin air in the other's lungs.

The root of Chu Sui's tongue ached. His eyelids twitched. He felt that Arno was being a bit abnormal. He simply stopped moving, calmly letting the other kiss him. However, when his gaze inadvertently drifted outside the window, he saw a dark figure standing outside the flowerbed. His pupils shrank, and he subconsciously sat up straight.

Arno keenly sensed the abnormality, frowned, and looked out the window with a sharp gaze, only to see a familiar figure waving at him from outside. He couldn't help but stop his movements. "..."

Fedi: Peeking_through_the_window.jpg.

Fedi had been standing outside for almost half an hour. Arno didn't reply to his messages, and there was no response when he rang the doorbell. Helplessly, he had to circle around to the window by the flowerbed to check the situation, only to see such a fiery scene...

Zerg God above, he really didn't mean to peep.

Through the window, meeting Arno's emotionless blue eyes, Fedi's heart trembled. He gave a couple of sheepish laughs and retreated guiltily to the outer edge of the flowerbed, deciding it was better to wait obediently outside the door.

A beat too late, Chu Sui looked at Arno. "That seems to be your adjutant?"

Arno's lips were an unnatural shade of red. Hearing this, he retracted his gaze. A lock of silver hair fell onto his forehead, looking a bit messy. He adjusted his breathing, then got off Chu Sui. "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Chu Sui straightened his cuffs and asked casually, "What is he here for?"

Arno was silent for a moment. "...The Fourth Army has been ordered to exterminate the Alien Beasts."

Chu Sui paused upon hearing this and looked up at him. "What did you say?"

Arno's fingertips couldn't help but tighten as he stared at him. "...I'm sorry, in a few hours, I will be leading troops to Planet Kasluo to exterminate the Alien Beasts."

If, if that day really came, the existing system would be overthrown. He had to have enough trump cards and strength to contend with it, so that he could protect Chu Sui when the upheaval came.

Chu Sui: "..."

The way he was looking at Arno now was no different from how one would look at a scumbag. Just yesterday, he had been coaxed into saying he wouldn't marry a Female Attendant, only for it to be so he could go to the battlefield without worry and exterminate those ugly Alien Beasts?!
