ISMW Chapter 68

Yu Chen carefully examined the photo—

 

The alpha in the photo knew well how to protect his privacy. The background was a private parking lot with no obvious signs. Apart from the dark gray walls, nothing else was visible. The clothing needed no explanation; the alpha was wearing the Comet-S7 cycling suit from head to toe, so tight that not a single hair was exposed. The reflection on the helmet visor was carefully Gaussian blurred. In short, no useful clues were left.

 

The only information Yu Chen could get was that by comparing the height of the Comet-S7, he calculated the alpha’s height to be about 185 cm, very similar to Yun Xunlan.

 

The body shape… was also very similar to Yun Xunlan.

 

Yu Chen didn’t know why he suddenly associated this perverted sex maniac with Yun Xunlan, but their height and body shape were very similar.

 

The Comet-S7 cycling suit automatically adjusts its size according to the wearer’s body, striving to fit the rider’s body curves perfectly to achieve the best visual effect. That’s why the alpha’s waist in the photo was so tightly cinched by the suit.

 

Looking at this alpha’s waist, it was as if he saw Yun Xunlan kneeling and lying under him last night, skin glistening with fine sweat, his curved and collapsed waist…

 

“Slap!”

 

Yu Chen suddenly darkened the light brain screen, his sapphire-like eyes widened in disbelief, and his chest heaved rapidly under the control of anger.

 

Alphas in the susceptible period were all damn perverts. Yu Chen thought, like himself in the susceptible period, now burning with lust and close to madness—how could he mistake such a perverted sex maniac alpha for Yun Xunlan?

 

He was crazy!

 

How could Yun Xunlan possibly be this perverted sex maniac?

 

The more Yu Chen thought about it, the more he felt he couldn’t make love to Yun Xunlan anymore.

 

At least not every day. He needed to abstain and rest for a while. Otherwise, his mind would be full of such things every day, and every night he would be in direct close contact with Yun Xunlan’s pheromones. If this continued, he would become another perverted sex maniac. His “love sickness” wouldn’t be cured even in the next life. As for the Fish-Keeping Expert perverted sex maniac…

 

Yu Chen didn’t believe he would change.

 

He would definitely continue to register alt accounts online to send red envelopes to people who insulted Yun Xunlan. He would keep lurking and eventually catch this person’s tail again. He would let him go for a few days now, wait until his susceptible period was over and his mind was clearer, so he wouldn’t mistake him for Yun Xunlan anymore, then come back to find out who he really was.

 

And Yu Chen’s guess was correct.

 

But Yun Xunlan now had a large stock of “Bedtime Sleep Aid Reading,” and Yu Chen’s daily tasks were easy to complete. He had other things to do and couldn’t put too much energy into the StarNet alt account.

 

At 7:26 PM, four minutes before the agreed battle time, Yun Xunlan logged into the mecha piloting simulation platform and took one minute to enter the warehouse and start the mecha.

 

Major General Yin Jian was naturally taciturn. Knowing Yun Xunlan didn’t want to expose his identity as the Third Prince yet, after exchanging military salutes, the two had no other communication and quietly stood waiting for the pre-match preparation time to end.

 

Yun Xunlan, bored, glanced at his platform friend list and saw Yun Xunguang and Mu Xingyu online. He ignored Mu Xingyu and mischievously sent a private message to Yun Xunguang:

 

【Mad Guest: Imperial Sister, did you bet on me to win?】

 

【Floating Round: I bet on Yin Jian.】

 

【Mad Guest: Then you’re going to lose money.】

 

【Floating Round: Hehe.】

 

Yun Xunlan smiled and closed the private chat window. The next second, he controlled the mecha to charge into the combat zone and fought fiercely with Major General Yin Jian’s mecha.

 

When Mu Xingyu tipped him off with winning strategies, telling him to defend first and then switch to offense later, Yun Xunlan didn’t listen at all—Yun Qihe’s fighting style he learned never included the word “defense.”

 

Killing was the only thought left after perfectly resonating with the mecha.

 

Even though Major General Yin Jian was a warrior who had fought bloodily on the border war front, his combat skills far surpassed those of the six mecha pilots T26 Desert and Yun Xunlan had fought later. “Keka Valley” still couldn’t last half an hour under Yun Xunlan’s hands.

 

The name “Mad Guest” once again lit up in the “Winner” display box.

 

After disconnecting from the mecha, Yun Xunlan received another message from Yun Xunguang: 【Floating Round: I bet he lost.】

 

Yun Xunlan asked her: 【Mad Guest: I’m resting this weekend, not fighting. Who do you want me to fight on Monday?】

 

Yun Xunguang didn’t reply for the moment, but Yun Xunlan received a battle invitation from a mecha pilot named “Mountain Wind.”

 

Yun Xunlan neither refused nor agreed but opened the platform friend list, found Mu Xingyu, and sent him a question mark: 【Mad Guest: ?】

 

【Mountain Wind: Lanlan, fight me tomorrow?】

 

【Mad Guest: No time tomorrow.】

 

【Mountain Wind: Isn’t tomorrow the weekend?】

 

Right, it’s the weekend. Yu Chen was responsible for guarding him at night on weekends, so Yun Xunlan was going back to Crescent Moon Peninsula to make up lessons and make love with Yu Chen. Of course, those last two words weren’t something he and Mu Xingyu were close enough to say openly, so Yun Xunlan replied: 【Mad Guest: Need to make up lessons.】

 

【Mountain Wind: …Make up with your guard?】

 

【Mad Guest: Yes.】

 

【Mountain Wind: When will you be free?】

 

【Mad Guest: Imperial Brother, ask Imperial Sister. She arranges all my battles now. I’m logging off, bye.】

 

Yun Xunlan logged off the platform, took off his StarNet access helmet, smoothed his messy silver hair with his fingers, and was about to return to the dormitory—Yu Chen hadn’t finished work yet and was still training extra. He planned to go back first to feed his fish Beauty.

 

Just as he entered the dormitory door, Yun Xunguang called.

 

“Imperial Sister.” Yun Xunlan pressed the answer button and poured himself a glass of water.

 

Yun Xunguang smiled happily and called him by his nickname: “Lanlan, on Monday you fight ‘Death Omen Star.'”

 

Yun Xunlan sipped water and nodded: “Okay.”

 

Yun Xunguang tilted her head to the right and continued: “‘Death Omen Star,’ haven’t you heard of this mecha pilot’s name?”

 

Yun Xunlan truthfully said: “A little impression, seems like a league champion from some year?”

 

“Year 7012.” Yun Xunguang’s smile deepened, “You may not be familiar with his platform mecha pilot name, but his real name, you’ll definitely remember, because it’s Yu Chen.”

 

Yun Xunguang emphasized the two characters.

 

Yun Xunlan suddenly stopped drinking, chuckled helplessly, and said: “Imperial Sister, you think if you send Yu Chen to fight me, I’ll go easy on him?”

 

“That trick won’t work.” Yun Xunlan retorted with her own words, “Save it.”

 

“You think he’s not your opponent?” Yun Xunguang raised her eyebrows and asked back, then said in an unarguable commanding tone, “At 8 PM on Monday, he fights you.”

 

Yun Xunlan still said: “Okay.”

 

Yun Xunguang: “Don’t worry, I won’t reveal your identity. If you want to say it, say it yourself.”

 

Yun Xunlan smiled: “We’ll talk after the fight.”

 

 

“As you wish.”

 

Yun Xunguang hung up the phone.

 

Yun Xunlan slowly lowered his right wrist wearing the light brain bracelet, but soon he had to raise it again—he had another nosebleed.

 

The bright red warm blood wouldn’t stop, almost flowing down in lines, staining Yun Xunlan’s hands and body red. Soon, Ni Chun, the duty doctor, and the closest guard Lu You were all summoned.

 

At the training ground, Yu Chen also received a risk warning message from the light brain bracelet. Without thinking, he ran toward the dormitory.

 

“What are you doing? What are you doing?” Officer Dike immediately called out to him, “Yu Chen, you haven’t finished the Group D training exercises yet, come back!”

 

Yu Chen wiped the sweat dripping from his chin, frowned, and said, “Officer Dike, something’s going on with His Highness… I have to go.”

 

“This is inside the base, not outside. There are plenty of guards at the Third Prince’s place. Do they need you?” Dike raised his eyebrows, “I’m not in a hurry, why are you? Finish your training before you leave.”

 

Yu Chen breathed heavily, lowered his head to take several deep breaths, and finally gritted his teeth and returned to continue the training exercises.

 

Dike circled around him, looking him up and down, shaking his head and clicking his tongue, “I think the training volume is still too low. At this intensity, it’ll be too slow for you to reach 3S level. I have to get you to 3S level sooner.”

 

During this time, no matter how much extra training Dike gave him, Yu Chen completed it seriously.

 

Dike had said this before, and Yu Chen took it as an excuse for extra training, not paying attention. But today, thinking about Yun Xunlan and not being allowed to see him, Yu Chen was annoyed and said, “Officer Dike, if I reach 3S level, I won’t be suitable to be the Third Prince’s guard anymore.”

 

Not that it’s impossible, but not suitable.

 

Dike agreed, “Indeed.”

 

But then he jokingly said, “But I can give you my position.”

 

Yu Chen stopped his movements, staring at Dike with deep blue eyes that had a faint coldness in the night—he had finished all his training.

 

Dike lit a cigarette, didn’t look up, and nodded at Yu Chen, “You can go.”

 

Yu Chen didn’t linger at the training ground and immediately headed to Yun Xunlan’s dormitory. Ni Chun was guarding the door; others were not around.

 

Ni Chun hurriedly approached, lowered his voice, and handed Yu Chen a black mask, “Major Yu, His Highness is in a susceptible period. Do you want to wear a pheromone isolation mask?”

 

The pheromone isolation mask can completely prevent inhaling pheromones from another alpha or omega.

 

Ni Chun hesitated, “His Highness’s pheromones are disordered… uncontrollably overflowing.”

 

“Pheromone disorder?” Yu Chen stopped in his tracks. He didn’t expect this fake illness he made up to be something Yun Xunlan actually had. He was stunned for two seconds and asked, “…Is it related to me?”

 

There are many causes of alpha pheromone disorder. He worried it was because of himself.

 

Ni Chun hurriedly said, “Of course not related to you. His Highness is afraid it will worsen your susceptible period.”

 

Yu Chen took the pheromone isolation mask and said, “Then I’ll wear the mask.”

 

Ni Chun nodded and stepped aside to let Yu Chen use his fingerprint to open the dormitory door.

 

Yun Xunlan was leaning against a single sofa by the window, holding a cigarette between his long fingers. His face was shrouded in white smoke, half-hidden, half-visible. His golden eyes were like stars behind a nebula, appearing and disappearing.
