TAISS – Chapter 30

A whip? When did Yan Su find something like this?

Lin Jianheng remembered they had one at home, but it had been thrown into the sealed confinement room. Yan Su wouldn’t have broken the seal to go rummaging through it.

In the blink of an eye, the thing in Yan Su’s hand turned into a bow tie. It was thin and long, like some kind of leash.

Yan Su’s collar was half-open, revealing a patch of apricot-pink skin. Her posture was submissive, her body held low.

But the tail behind her wagged happily, like a puppy with a rope in its mouth, waiting for its master’s approval.

The puppy wants to go out and play, but Yan Su was a sweet little kitten. This attitude made Lin Jianheng think of only one thing.

Marking.

The only thing that could make her see a tie as a whip, and then as a leash, was marking.

Lin Jianheng’s throat felt dry. She took the tie, momentarily at a loss.

All Yan Su had said was that she was hungry.

She said she was hungry, that couldn’t mean she wanted to be marked.

Sister was just thinking about a meal. If she suddenly brought it up, she’d definitely be seen as a pervert.

How could she be the one to suggest such a thing?

Lin Jianheng took a deep breath, ignoring Yan Su’s happily wagging kitten tail, the earnest plea in her downcast eyes, and the implicit invitation in her posture.

She gently tied the tie around Yan Su’s neck.

Her movements were cautious, as if afraid of hurting the porcelain doll before her.

Yan Su watched Lin Jianheng’s long fingers land on her neck and couldn’t help but swallow.

She tilted her head back, exposing her neck.

Her usually indistinct Adam’s apple protruded slightly, its movement obvious as it bobbed.

It made one want to grab it, press down on it, or…

Bite it open.

Lin Jianheng lowered her gaze, avoiding the sight.

How could she look at Yan Su’s neck and think of such things?

She clearly just thought Yan Su’s neck was beautiful. As smooth and fair as a swan’s.

It was slender; one hand could wrap around most of it. When held, she could feel the throb of the artery, the subtle tremor when she swallowed.

So beautiful she wanted to lick it, to kiss it.

That should have been enough, but Lin Jianheng kept having further fantasies, and kept loathing herself for them.

Thus, her movements became even more cautious, afraid she would confuse fantasy with reality and actually choke the poor succubus.

But Yan Su interpreted it as the gentleness before a storm.

She wanted a marking like a tsunami. She wanted Lin Jianheng to rip off her collar without hesitation, tear open her clothes, and bite her gland.

Just like last night. A little more urgent, a little more violent. Anything would be fine.

After all, the process of biting open a gland wasn’t easy. Even the best master had to use force, so she shouldn’t hold back. She should bite her until it hurt.

Tears of happiness welled in Yan Su’s eyes, her heart opening to welcome the coming storm.

In the next moment, Lin Jianheng really did fasten the clasp of the tie, making it a proper collar.

Was it coming?

Yan Su trembled slightly, her heart beating uncontrollably fast.

So much anticipation… She never thought that after being denied again and again, even the time before a marking could become so sweet.

Could this be the legendary edging?

Yan Su’s breathing grew heavy.

But Lin Jianheng made no further move.

She didn’t even touch the slightly crooked “Jian Heng” brand from today.

She very simply tied the bow tie for Yan Su, and even helped her button up her shirt.

“It’s noon.” Lin Jianheng hadn’t composed herself, but she was used to pretending.

Even now, she still wanted to wrap her hands around Yan Su’s neck. She wanted to gently caress and nuzzle her, but she also wanted to use force, to see her struggle.

How terrifying.

Lin Jianheng’s hand by her side trembled uncontrollably. She dug her nails into her palm, not understanding why she was having such thoughts.

Perhaps ever since she’d developed an appetite for Yan Su, the whole thing had been wrong.

In the end, how could she feel that way about a living person?

Something was very wrong with her.

Lin Jianheng held her breath, put on a smile, and looped her arm through Yan Su’s.

She would try, try harder. To hide herself well.

Everyone has a dark side. Hers was just deeper, larger. It was no big deal. She had hidden it for so many years; she could continue.

“Let’s go, Sister Yan, let’s go to the cafeteria for lunch.” As she stepped forward, Lin Jianheng was once again that well-behaved, sweet-talking little sun.

Yan Su was stunned as she was pulled a step forward. Then she met Lin Jianheng’s autumn-sun-like smile and was left speechless.

She was led along, following step by step.

Her heartbeat cooled from its rapid pace, slowing until it felt sluggish.

After a step or two, Yan Su suddenly threw herself onto Lin Jianheng, pressing against her back.

She thought, maybe Master just has some strange kinks.

Like enjoying marking her secretly in a crowded corner, with their backs to everyone.

Or enjoying the feeling of being watched by everyone, and then possessing her exclusively.

What if going to the cafeteria was for “lunch” in quotes?

Yan Su wrapped her arms around Lin Jianheng’s waist, her face pressed against her back.

“…Good girl.” Lin Jianheng reached one hand behind her back and awkwardly soothed Yan Su, as if they were intimate.

“What do you want to eat today?” The words she spoke were not what Yan Su wanted to hear.

Yan Su lifted her head, her mouth slightly agape in disbelief.

Really just eating?

Meeting Lin Jianheng’s smiling eyes, the light in Yan Su’s own slowly faded.

“What’s wrong? If you don’t say, I’ll order for you?” Lin Jianheng scooped Yan Su into her arms.

It was her first time eating at her family company’s cafeteria. Before, she’d always blackmailed her sister into ordering food for her.

“…Whatever Master decides is fine.” Yan Su fell silent, her attitude stranger than ever.

A bit too cold, but not as devoid of warmth as in the beginning.

Just… aggrieved.

Yan Su thought her master was continuing that punishment.

Once they were actually in the cafeteria, the aroma of food filled her nose, and her master was still holding her.

Yan Su came back to life, no longer overthinking things.

She was her master’s property, so naturally, her master could do whatever she wanted.

What right did she have to demand a marking?

If Master wanted to punish her, then let her be punished. She was the one who was greedy and insatiable.

Eating this kind of food couldn’t satisfy that kind of hunger, but just being with her master was good enough.

Seeing Yan Su press against her again, having already adjusted her mood, Lin Jianheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

This was her first time trying to give the cold shoulder when she sensed their emotions were off.

She hadn’t expected it to be effective.

---

The cafeteria at the corporate headquarters was luxurious, offering high-quality food at low prices as part of the employee benefits.

Many employees missed the food even after they left. It was common to see employees going downstairs to pick up their families at mealtimes and bringing them into the cafeteria to eat.

Lin Jianheng looked around. The cafeteria’s standard was no less than a five-star hotel in her original world, and it was a buffet. Employees only had to pay one yuan per meal by swiping their ID cards, and their families were charged a symbolic twenty yuan.

Lin Jianheng was the second-generation heir of Jian Corporation. She didn’t need to pay for an employee meal; her face was her pass.

She smoothly led Yan Su into the dining hall. It was Yan Su’s first time seeing such a place, and her eyes were filled with curiosity.

“Look, Sister, you can get it yourself.” In truth, it was also Lin Jianheng’s first time seeing such a luxurious employee cafeteria.

There weren’t many employees at the headquarters, only about a hundred in total, and they ate in shifts. It was already two in the afternoon, so it wasn’t too crowded.

Still, she could see several small children, who she guessed were employees’ family members.

A little girl with a shaved head ran right into Lin Jianheng’s leg. Her two companions covered their mouths and quickly pulled her back.

“Sorry, big sister!” one of the companions apologized first.

“It’s okay, be careful. The cafeteria isn’t a place for roughhousing.” Lin Jianheng looked at the child who had run into her, now covering her nose with red eyes, and found it novel.

To think she had such a strong physique now.

She casually ruffled the little girl’s buzz cut. It was prickly and didn’t feel very good.

“Xiao Guai! What are you doing?” The child’s mother arrived.

She looked fierce, as if she was about to scold someone.

“Did you apologize for bumping into someone?” she nagged.

Lin Jianheng wondered what the relationship between the three children was. She smoothed things over for the little girl, still thinking.

Maybe they were maternal cousins? Just like her, Jingyuan, and Xilan.

“Don’t scold the child. It’s not often she gets to eat in the cafeteria, she must be treating it like a field trip. I’m fine.”

“I’m so sorry, my child is usually very naughty, you…” The mother looked up, saw Lin Jianheng’s smiling eyes, and suddenly trailed off.

Who in the company didn’t know that their Chairman had a good-for-nothing younger sister who spent all day playing around?

This heir even had a nominal position in the company. To avoid offending her, new employees were shown a projection of Jian Heng by their seniors on their first day.

But could someone please tell her why this good-tempered, pleasant-looking girl, who looked like an energetic college student, looked exactly like the legendary Jian Heng!

Especially since Lin Jianheng had her arm linked with Yan Su’s. The two of them looked so well-matched and affectionate, and Lin Jianheng didn’t look like the type to play around.

The mother was quite shocked and couldn’t finish her sentence.

Meanwhile, Lin Jianheng had already waved to them, patted the other two little girls on the head, and left with her partner.

Leaving the employee standing there in a daze, holding her daughter’s hand.

A moment later, she logged onto the internal network, found the gossip group, and started spamming messages.

Lin Jianheng held her plate of food, lost in thought.

Perhaps besides making some great achievement, there were other ways to change her image in the employees’ minds.

Beside her, Yan Su had picked up several pieces of sweet and sour pork, the sourness almost overflowing.

Her master had touched those three children.

In almost the same way she touched her.

How could she… do that to others?

Yan Su felt a pang of pain again. How could she control what her master did? She was just Lin Jianheng’s good dog.

She could only bottle everything up inside.

When Lin Jianheng finished picking her food and turned her head, she noticed Yan Su’s plate was filled with sour dishes.

Sweet and sour pork, lemon fish, vinegar-stewed cabbage, raspberry cake…

Lin Jianheng’s brain froze for a second as she calculated just how sour that meal would be.

Could it be that her sister usually wasn’t very interested in food because her tastes were different?

“Sister, did you get all the dishes you like?” The portions of each weren’t large, so Lin Jianheng thought she could add a little more for Yan Su.

Mainly, she felt a wave of resentful spiritual power from Yan Su just now, fleeting as if it were an illusion.

“…Mhm.” Yan Su had only just realized what she had taken.

She had picked them by following the sour smell. No wonder the sour scent in her nose hadn’t faded; Yan Su had thought it was because she was feeling so sour.

“Does Master want to get food for me?” Yan Su gritted her teeth, which really did feel like they were about to fall out from the sourness. She didn’t want to miss this small chance to interact with her master.

“Sure. I guess there’s a lot you haven’t tried, so I’ll get you something different.” If she liked sour food, then so be it. At worst, she could try to change her own tastes in the future.

Lin Jianheng got Yan Su a plate of specialty dishes from various planets. Lin Jianheng hadn’t seen most of them; they weren’t just copies of specialty foods from different countries in her original world, but contained many different ingredients and seasonings.

She was restrained in the amount she took, but when she brought it to their seat, she realized she had still gotten too much.

Yan Su stared at the two plates in front of her, especially the sour one, and silently shed tears in her heart.

She didn’t want to eat this.

She was a succubus. She wanted her master’s sweet and spicy pheromones.

But this was also from her master. Yan Su pushed aside the plate she had filled herself and aimed her spoon at the one Lin Jianheng had gotten for her.

“Don’t force yourself, Sister. If you can’t finish it, don’t. It’s my fault, I accidentally got you too much,” Lin Jianheng reminded her, feeling a little guilty.

She really wasn’t suited for this; she always took too much food at buffets.

But then, Lin Jianheng had another thought. If she could get fat at a buffet, her Sister Yan should be able to put on some weight too.

From her observations, Yan Su was too thin right now, far below the average weight for her height in the Empire, almost to the point of being malnourished.

She didn’t know how she could have such a good figure at that weight.

Lin Jianheng zoned out for a moment, and her spoon ended up in Yan Su’s plate.

Yan Su bit down on the spoon in her mouth.

After a breath, she pushed her own plate forward.

“If Master wants to eat, I can feed Master, serve Master.” Yan Su was a good little kitten, wagging her tail, very proactive.

“…Ahem. I, I meant to feed you.” Lin Jianheng came back to her senses.

How did her spoon end up in Yan Su’s plate!

She wasn’t a bad master who couldn’t even afford to feed her. At the very least, she could guarantee her succubus sister three high-quality meals a day!

“Really?” Yan Su, on the contrary, got excited by her words.

The roots of her ears flushed pink, her complexion surprisingly rosy.

“Of course. You’re my little kitten, so of course I’ll take care of you.” What kind of scummy master would make their kitten feed them?

As she spoke, Lin Jianheng moved to sit next to Yan Su, scooped up a spoonful of food, and brought it to Yan Su’s lips.

“Open up, good girl. I’ll feed you today.” Lin Jianheng smoothly took back control.

Yan Su returned to her obedient demeanor, wagging her tail with red ears, at least managing not to let her pointed ears pop out.

With one bite, Yan Su’s eyes narrowed in pleasure, and her waist unconsciously started swaying to the rhythm of her wagging tail.

“Is it that good?” Lin Jianheng found her adorable and chuckled, secretly trying a bite herself.

She thought it was just okay. She was, after all, more used to the replicas of food from her original world.

“Because Master is feeding me.” Yan Su definitely didn’t think the food was delicious.

Although the taste wasn’t bad, for a succubus, the pleasure of eating was a low priority.

Yan Su didn’t particularly seek this kind of enjoyment; her expression was purely because Lin Jianheng was feeding her.

And she had secretly used her spoon.

She didn’t mind that she had used it, and even left her own saliva…

A mist clouded Yan Su’s sea-blue eyes. She tried her best to suppress it, but pink hearts still slowly began to appear.

She really wanted to wrap her mouth around that spoon.

She was a little envious. Why did the spoon get to be treated so intimately by Lin Jianheng?

For a moment, Yan Su wanted to become that spoon, to lie in Lin Jianheng’s mouth and feel her taste buds.

And in another moment, she was determined to possess this spoon completely.

Yan Su opened her mouth again.

Becoming a good kitten waiting to be fed by her master.

Only she knew what she had developed a competitive urge against.

Lin Jianheng scratched her chin, making her almost bite her tongue.

“Good girl. Keep your mouth open.” Lin Jianheng was just playing with her kitten. She didn’t wipe the spoon before putting a new spoonful of food into Yan Su’s mouth.

Finally…

Yan Su tasted a hint of Lin Jianheng. It was the sweet fragrance of pheromones, dyeing the food with the sweetness of orange blossoms and the saltiness of sea salt.

If the amount were a little larger, she would be able to taste the caramel walnut fragrance she longed for, and the aggressively spicy sandalwood.

I love it so much…

Yan Su wagged her tail and tensed up, her breathing almost betraying her aroused state.

Even just being fed by her master could bring such joy.

Yan Su dug her nails into her palm, not wanting to lose her composure, mentally “despising” her own indecency, her mind full of absurd thoughts.

But she was really imagining it, what if what Lin Jianheng put in her mouth wasn’t a spoon full of food.

But Lin Jianheng’s fingers. Fingers coated in orange blossom honey, fingers brushed by the sea breeze and sticky with salty fragrance, fingers that became walnuts covered in caramel.

How happy would she be then?

Yan Su would definitely clean them meticulously for Lin Jianheng.

And what if, this mouthful wasn’t food, but Lin Jianheng’s gland.

Yan Su was about to bubble over. Bubbling from boiling heat, and from joy.

Yan Su was truly an easily satisfied kitten. A tiny transaction was enough to relieve her from the misery of being punished and not getting a marking.

“Master should eat too.” After sobering up a little, she saw that most of the food was gone.

Yan Su quickly snatched the spoon from Lin Jianheng’s hand and casually filled it.

She wanted another taste.

She needed more pheromones, her master’s pheromones.

That little bit just now was enough for her to savor for half a day. One more bite and she could definitely endure this hungry night.

The time spent waiting for her master’s punishment to end was difficult, yet it was filled with things Yan Su liked.

Enduring for her master, obeying her master’s commands, being treated with a certain carelessness by her master, receiving her master’s twisted love…

Yan Su’s tail unwittingly turned the color of red-hot iron. She leaned forward, almost pressing against Lin Jianheng.

Of course, if she could be marked here, that would be for the best.

Yan Su was no longer as shy as before. So what if people were watching? She was just Lin Jianheng’s little kitten.

A kitten could be intimate with its master anytime, anywhere.

Any glances from others, Yan Su would interpret as envy.

Lin Jianheng was affected by her posture, her ears inexplicably growing hot.

How strange. Lin Jianheng uncomfortably averted her gaze.

They were just eating, so why was she thinking about marking?

Thinking of eating… Yan Su.

It was as if she wasn’t feeding Yan Su, but rather, bite by bite, through the contract formed by the act of feeding, she was devouring her lovely succubus sister.

Like those crooked fortune-tellers who always used strange contracts to take their victims’ lives.

The process between her and Yan Su was different, but the result was too similar.

And Yan Su was pressed very close, her eyes filled with positive emotions. Joy, anticipation, and a love that Lin Jianheng was slowly beginning to understand…

Lin Jianheng had no choice but to open her mouth and accept the kitten’s loving feeding.

Her succubus was feeding her.

What a strange feeling.

As Lin Jianheng chewed, she felt like she could taste a hint of sweet pheromones.

It must be an illusion, right? Otherwise, how could she smell peach blossoms and taste honey pear milk?

It must be that she wanted to mark her too badly.

Maybe tonight. She should finally mark Yan Su today.

But what if Yan Su didn’t want it? She still hadn’t said anything.

Lin Jianheng composed herself, pushed aside her wild thoughts, and took the spoon from Yan Su’s hand.

Focusing on the beauty of this moment.

---

Yan Su ate most of the sour meat and vegetable dishes she had picked for herself.

Now that lunch was finally over, her teeth felt like they were physically about to dissolve from the sourness.

She would never be jealous again.

Yan Su reflected on her actions as she cleared the trays with Lin Jianheng.

In the end, they were just three little kids. There was such a big age gap, why be jealous of them?

Master patted her head too, and that was enough.

Lin Jianheng handed the tray to the window, marveling that even in this era, cafeterias still needed people to operate them.

There were no scenes of robots stir-frying rice, collecting trash, or washing dishes like she had imagined.

But it wasn’t surprising. Her family’s business was in optical computer-related technology, not closely related to robotics, which they only invested in.

After the emergence of Mechanical Lifeforms, the robotics industry wasn’t as popular anymore.

“Yo, taking your little succubus to lunch?” Jian Lingxuan had just finished her morning meeting and leisurely walked into the cafeteria.

“Just finished, what’s up?” Lin Jianheng said, linking arms with Yan Su, thoroughly making her her succubus.

“Are you done writing? Haven’t touched a single word, have you? I knew you’d be inefficient if you brought her.” What else could Jian Lingxuan want? She was just annoyed that Lin Jianheng insisted on bringing Yan Su to the office.

She already disliked this succubus of unknown origin, and now, this person’s status was about to surpass her own.

“Keep dreaming. I wrote really fast, but I’m just not going to show you.” Lin Jianheng really hadn’t been flirting with Yan Su in the office.

Failing to achieve any “office play,” Lin Jianheng felt a surprising bit of regret.

It would have been nice to mark Yan Su in the office. What was the difference between marking her at home?

Was it the possibility of someone knocking on the door at any moment that made one’s heart race, making it more exciting?

Lin Jianheng didn’t quite get it. If they were discovered, how embarrassing would that be?

“I bet you haven’t written anything.” Jian Lingxuan thought she saw right through Lin Jianheng, her smile so wicked it made Lin Jianheng roll her eyes.

“I’m not messing with you. Tomorrow, no, someone’s looking for me tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I’ll definitely give you the new version. Let’s go, Sister. Let’s go have some office play.” Lin Jianheng tossed her head and ignored Jian Lingxuan.

Jian Lingxuan’s eye twitched when she heard the blunt “office play.”

Yan Su, being pulled by Lin Jianheng, felt her heart stop for a moment.

What was Lin Jianheng going to do with her? Office what?

Was this punishment finally going to end?

No, or was it that Lin Jianheng wanted to continue, just in a different form, really leading her around the office with her tie, or using it as a whip…

Anything would be fine. Master, her beloved master… touch her.

Yan Su’s pace quickened, and she nearly tripped over Lin Jianheng’s feet. After getting on the elevator, she nestled in Lin Jianheng’s arms to regulate her breathing.

“M-Master, the office…” Watching the floor number rise, Yan Su became unbearably nervous.

This was the office… Although Lin Jianheng’s office was quite private, it was still possible for people to pass by, come and go, or even knock on the door to report something.

Would Lin Jianheng have to hide her under the desk then?

She would become a lover who couldn’t see the light of day, a pet that had to hide… This feeling of hiding made the back of Yan Su’s neck tense up.

Liquefying her pheromones, getting herself ready.

“Hm? Right, let’s go have some office play.” Lin Jianheng had just said that offhandedly to retort Jian Lingxuan.

Now, she genuinely wanted to mark her, but she didn’t show it.

She thought that since Yan Su hadn’t mentioned it, she didn’t want it, so she had to restrain herself.

Besides, how could Jian Lingxuan slander her by saying she and Yan Su were messing around and marking in the office?

Yan Su lowered her head, her whole being turning the red of her hair.

Now she was the most beautiful butterfly rose, blooming brilliantly, waiting for Lin Jianheng to pluck her.

But after entering the office, Lin Jianheng just set up the game console, the projection angle, and the VR glasses for her.

“…” Yan Su looked at the simulation management game in the glasses, speechless for a moment.

The rose withered just like that. The back of her neck was no longer swelling, leaving only an empty loneliness, as cold as the moon.

“Have fun, Sister. I have to work hard so my sister doesn’t look down on me.” Lin Jianheng put away all her ambiguous thoughts and focused on her work.

The succubus she left on the sofa took off the glasses, her face full of resentment.

So, what her “straight girl” master meant by “office play” was her playing video games while her master worked.

---

Yan Su, at least, didn’t waste Lin Jianheng’s efforts and cleared the first chapter.

She cleared it quickly, found it a bit boring, and didn’t have much energy. She lay on the sofa, counting the seconds to pass the time.

When they get home… she would definitely make Lin Jianheng mark her.

Yan Su refused to believe it was impossible. If she could do it the first time, she could do it a second time.

She had succeeded in her seduction before. Master wouldn’t be cruel enough to watch her starve to death; she must just be training her.

Thinking of the scent of Lin Jianheng’s pheromones, Yan Su’s tail twitched, filled with a bit of longing and anticipation.

She absentmindedly logged onto Q Net and saw that the person she had sent a friend request to had accepted and sent her a string of messages.

【Hello sister, nice to meet you!】

【What do you need? Any troubles in your adult life? I can help you figure things out.】

Yan Su remembered this person was a seller.

She clicked into the person’s profile and scanned it, her attention immediately caught by their ID.

—After the Boss Ran Off, We Kidnapped Her White Moonlight

You could tell their mental state wasn’t great. Maybe their boss really did run off.

Scrolling down, she saw that the posts were all screenshots of transactions and customer feedback.

Their business scope was wide, including matchmaking services, drugs to temporarily boost pheromone levels, and potent inhibitors with no side effects.

Yan Su decided to call this netizen “Boss Ran Off” for the time being.

She thought for a moment, hid her identity information, and asked what to do if her partner never marked her.

Yan Su deliberately used the word “partner.” She had typed it subconsciously, and after typing it, she couldn’t bear to delete it. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

She liked her master so much. Master was her partner.

It didn’t matter if she wasn’t her master’s partner.

As long as Master wouldn’t abandon her and turn her into a homeless kitten, that was enough.

【Boss Ran Off: What’s your partner’s level? Could it be because their level is too low and they’re lacking pheromones? Want to try this?】

Yan Su read it and shook her head.

Her master’s level was a little low right now, but it was growing every day. In another two or three months, she might become a top-tier SS-class, or even an SSS-class Alpha.

How could she be lacking pheromones?

When she was marked by her then, she would be so happy she’d ascend to heaven.

For a few days after being marked, when she went out, others would know she was a succubus who belonged to someone.

The higher an Alpha’s level, the more possessive they were, the stronger their territorial instincts, and the more sensitive other Alphas would be to the pheromones she released after being marked.

Some Omegas hated this feeling and would use special inhibitor patches to cover it up. But Yan Su looked forward to it.

【Her level isn’t low, she just won’t give it to me, it’s like she’s punishing me】 Facing a netizen, Yan Su felt ashamed for a second, but still typed out the message.

Ah, well, what could she do? Her master was training her, after all.

Being able to say such a thing so boldly also showed that she was a well-trained little kitten.

The person on the other end was clearly experienced and showed no surprise. 【Then sister, you can try being more proactive before you start, act up a little, arouse the Alpha’s interest. Here’s some material for you to look at~】

Yan Su turned off the sound, opened it, and glanced at it.

She felt that this kind of material wasn’t what she was lacking.

She was a succubus. A succubus who had been well-educated in the underground black market. How could she be outdone by some random material?

【Is there anything more direct?】 Yan Su was thinking that drugs would also work.

The kind for her to take. To force her into a heat period, so Lin Jianheng would have to deal with her heat.

But a heat period wasn’t a guarantee. What if Lin Jianheng just put an inhibitor patch on her?

She would accept it, but she was really a little hungry.

The amount she ate at lunch was too little. She needed more pheromones.

Her master, her Alpha, dangling it in front of her but not giving it to her, was so mean.

She liked her mean master so much…

【Boss Ran Off: Got it, a heat period drug that won’t end until you’re marked. Come, come, I happen to have two pills right here.】

Yan Su glanced at the price. It wasn’t cheap, but she really needed it.

She didn’t know if this stuff was real or fake…

Yan Su clicked into the person’s profile again to look through it, and also searched for their ID.

She found a few “warning” posts, all saying the drug’s effect was too strong, their backs were about to break.

There were also some about their home Alpha marking them excessively, forcing them to go back and buy pheromone deficiency drugs and inhibitor patches from her.

There was even a Beta who posted that her Alpha lover used this person’s drug on her, and she turned into an Omega and got pregnant.

The comments below were all teaching her how to get that Alpha sent to jail.

It seemed there were no mentions of it being fake.

Yan Su scrolled for a while longer. After all, it wasn’t her money, and even if she bought the drug, would she dare to take it?

Sorting by time, Yan Su saw that in the last two days, people were saying this supplier’s supply chain had been cut off due to the war.

The discussion in the post was all over the place, branching from this topic to the admiral’s triumphant return two months ago, and the recent conflict with the Third Empire in the Tanmo Star System.

Yan Su read it and moved on. She lived on the Capital Star; there was really no need for her to worry about problems on the border.

She returned to the chat with “Boss Ran Off” and found they had sent her a few more messages.

【There’s been a problem with the supply recently, the next restock should be after Her Highness the Princess’s birthday】

【I really only have two pills left, the effect is great, my wife uses them, we can go at it for three days and three nights every time.】

【Sister, which star system are you in? Yinyao?】

There was also a screen recording, which Yan Su accidentally opened.

A bottle of pills was projected into the air, attracting Lin Jianheng’s attention.

“Sister? What are you looking at?” Lin Jianheng was just about to take a sip of water and stretch.

“N-nothing!” Yan Su quickly turned off the projection.

She should have gone to the bathroom to look at it.

“I accidentally clicked on an ad,” Yan Su quickly made an excuse.

“Are you shopping? You can buy whatever you like. Do you know our address? Just have them deliver it to the door.” This era also had food delivery and express shipping.

Express shipping, in particular, was even faster than in Lin Jianheng’s original world.

Although it was interplanetary and interstellar transport, with warp technology, the actual speed was more than double what it used to be.

“Okay, thank you, Master.” Yan Su slowly relaxed and closed the chat window.

She went and bought some new collars, and using the sizes from when she bought clothes before, purchased some lingerie, props, and so on.

Yan Su had never thought she would one day actively desire such things, using her master’s money to buy items for her master to train her with.

Half an hour later, she opened the chat to pay, and the person on the other end said there was only one pill left. As compensation, they would give her a bottle of aphrodisiac essential oil and a box of well-reviewed finger cots.

---

Lin Jianheng, spurred on by Jian Lingxuan’s goading, successfully finished revising the proposal.

She sent it through the Jian Corporation’s internal system and glanced at the time. It was seven in the evening.

Good thing she had brought her family to work with her. If she had left Yan Su at home alone, she wouldn’t have been able to work overtime.

Her sister had better thank Yan Su properly.

Lin Jianheng gathered her things and looked up.

Her sister was watching something, her tail swishing back and forth.

Just like a cat watching TV in her original world.

Lin Jianheng quieted her steps and tiptoed over.

“Boo!” she said, suddenly appearing from behind the sofa.

Yan Su’s pupils contracted, and she tumbled off with a thud.

“Hey, hey, Sister—” Lin Jianheng acted fast, grabbing her by the collar.

Yan Su was still an adult, and though she was thin, she had some weight to her.

The silk shirt was slippery, and in a breath, it slipped from Lin Jianheng’s grasp.

Lin Jianheng was left holding only a bow tie, which was choking Yan Su, making her face turn red and her eyes well up with tears.

“I’m… fine, Master can… let go…” Yan Su managed to say, propping herself up with one hand on the floor.

Lin Jianheng had to slowly release her grip, allowing Yan Su to land safely.

“I’m sorry.” Lin Jianheng knelt beside Yan Su, her head bowed. She hadn’t expected to scare Yan Su so badly that she’d fall off the sofa.

“I was wrong, Sister, please don’t be mad at me.” She pouted, reaching for Yan Su’s hand.

Like a child who had made a mistake, she looked aggrieved and pitiful, her face flushed with embarrassment.

“How could I be?” Yan Su took Lin Jianheng’s hand, their fingers intertwining tightly.

“It’s my fault for being so easily startled.” Yan Su had been reading a rather daring novel and was so engrossed in her own fantasies that when Lin Jianheng startled her, her guilty conscience made her slip.

She brought Lin Jianheng’s hand to her cheek, pressing it gently.

Lin Jianheng’s index finger instinctively wiped away the tear at the corner of her eye.

“That’s not right either. It was my fault. I won’t do it again,” Lin Jianheng said, leaning down.

The embarrassment and shame faded, leaving only an unconcealable tenderness.

It was past seven, and the sky outside was already dark.

Reflected in Lin Jianheng’s eyes was only the deep blue of the night, printed on an amber canvas, becoming a sprinkle of starlight.

Yan Su gazed at her, as if looking at the night sky of the Capital Star.

Within it were speckled streams of light and shadow, which ultimately settled on her own reflection.

Lin Jianheng’s eyes held Yan Su’s image.

Yan Su was frozen in this moment, not even her breathing could stop her.

The night deepened as they looked at each other.

Lin Jianheng slowly pressed against Yan Su’s chest, hugging her.

“I’m sorry about that, good sister, sweet sister. I knew you’d forgive me.”

When she had scared Yan Su, what was that sour feeling in her chest?

Was it like sparkling water that had been open all day, turning sour as it faced the blue night?

So bitter, so spoiled.

It forced her to press against Yan Su’s chest, to listen to the succubus’s strong heartbeat and feel the warmth of her skin, only then finding relief.

“I don’t mind anything Master does to me.” Except abandon me, Yan Su added in her heart, involuntarily hugging Lin Jianheng back.

One of their hands was still clasped, fingers intertwined. Yan Su’s other hand rested on Lin Jianheng’s waist.

How magical.

Yan Su thought, just last month she was experiencing endless darkness, but today she could see a starry sky in the eyes of the person she liked.

“Sister is the best.” Even hearing these words felt a little bittersweet.

Lin Jianheng lingered for a while, until the unidentifiable sense of unease had dissipated, before taking Yan Su home.

Perhaps that unease had flowed from her fingertips into their joined hands, or perhaps it had settled into Yan Su’s heart from their pressed chests.

Or perhaps, it was absorbed and swallowed by the boundless night.

Lin Jianheng no longer cared, and she left cheerfully with her arm linked through Yan Su’s.

“We should be able to go home today.” Lin Jianheng looked at the news. The location of today’s spiritual power collapse had moved to District B, which had little to do with them.

However, the traffic was still heavy at this hour. The congestion on the edge of District A also made it difficult to get through the center of the district.

Sitting in the car, Yan Su was still pressed against Lin Jianheng, reading that novel she had found.

Lin Jianheng stared out the window, her mind occupied with her meeting with Li Zhaoge tomorrow, and all the things that had happened since she came to this world.

There was one person who was connected to all these mysteries, yet she had never met her.

Canglin Jingyuan.

As the daughter of the previous King’s sister, what was Jingyuan’s relationship with the previous King like?

During the years the previous King led her troops on campaigns, what was her attitude? Did she have any contact with the previous King?

After the previous King fell, in what state did she take the scepter? And after she herself was born, what kind of mindset did she have?

There were too many mysteries. And Jingyuan gave Lin Jianheng a bad feeling.

Maybe she was hard to get close to, or maybe she was not to be trifled with. The reason Lin Jianheng had refused so decisively last time wasn’t just because she wanted to accompany Yan Su; she was also a little afraid to meet Jingyuan.

According to the encyclopedia of lifeforms in the Empire, individuals with powerful spiritual power had a strong perception of their surroundings, and their sixth sense was astonishingly accurate.

She was learning to trust her sixth sense.

A vibration suddenly came from the distance.

Lin Jianheng and Yan Su both looked up at the same time, while the driver, Sister Liu, whose spiritual power was average, was still oblivious.

Lin Jianheng activated the telescope function, sharing her vision with Yan Su, and zoomed in.

A large bridge was teetering on the verge of collapse under the influence of the spiritual power breakdown.

It looked like it was about to fall, and below it were countless pedestrians and vehicles.

Lin Jianheng’s heart clenched, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

A spiritual power strong enough to level mountains swept over, and Canglin Jingyuan descended from the sky in a fitted mecha.

With her special ability and her spiritual power as vast as the heavens and earth, the turmoil was quickly quelled.

Jingyuan arrived faster and did more than any of her knights.

Not only did she stabilize all the vehicles and pedestrians, she also slowly rebuilt the collapsing bridge.

She leaped up, catching the people who had fallen into the air due to the collapse.

One of them was a small baby.

The child was crying, not understanding what was happening. Jingyuan held her in one arm, like her mother, gradually calming her unease.

Perhaps the telescope’s quality was too good, the vision too clear.

Lin Jianheng could even see the pity in Jingyuan’s eyes, a divine compassion that encompassed all things.

The image she presented at this moment was that of a true monarch who served her people and her country.

What kind of person was Canglin Jingyuan, really?

For the first time, Lin Jianheng had the thought of searching for information about her.

News reports online were always subjective. But they could still serve as a reference.

“Sister Liu, go right. There’s an accident up ahead on the left, let’s take a detour.” No matter what, Lin Jianheng couldn’t face Jingyuan right now.

It was better to avoid her.

“Oh, okay.” Sister Liu didn’t question her, turning right after getting off the bridge.

Yan Su looked at Lin Jianheng.

She didn’t know Jingyuan either, but she could more or less guess Lin Jianheng’s royal status.

“It’s okay. We’re going home to eat and rest.” Lin Jianheng squeezed Yan Su’s hand.

These matters had nothing to do with Yan Su; she couldn’t let her own emotions affect her.

Yan Su squeezed back forcefully, as if to say—

I’m always by your side.

The turmoil at the accident site had already subsided.

Jingyuan looked up at a spot not far away, her lips showing no hint of a smile.

“Your Majesty.” A knight knelt on one knee beside her.

“The count is complete, there are no casualties. It’s all thanks to you, Your Majesty.”

Jingyuan withdrew her gaze and slowly curved her lips into a smile.

“Dismissed.”

So afraid of her that she’d take a detour.

Canglin Jianheng was even more interesting than she was two years ago.

---

Lin Jianheng knew her mood was a bit off today.

She was somewhat affected. By Yan Su’s affairs, the Empire’s affairs, the royal family’s affairs, her transmigration…

After getting home, eating, and washing up, Lin Jianheng leaned against the bed and searched for the Empire’s evaluation of Jingyuan.

She was surprised to find that the opinions were very mixed.

Some said she was a wise monarch who had made many contributions during her reign, reducing taxes and burdens, establishing many free educational institutions, and handling many matters personally. The state’s finances were also clearer and more just, and even the most sparsely populated Xujing Starfield had received her care.

Some said she was autocratic, canceling many modern and convenient devices, such as large-scale AIs and spaceships, without explaining the reasons to the public, always presenting a cold face on the screen.

Others said she was indecisive and not assertive enough in foreign affairs. The Tanmo Star System was plagued by war, and the admiral was suffering repeated defeats, completely lacking the style of the previous King Diexun, who had nearly beaten the Third Empire into submission.

After reading the evaluations, Lin Jianheng was even more confused about what kind of person Jingyuan was.

If there was only one type of evaluation for her, the person would be simpler, with at least one clear aspect to her personality.

But now, Jingyuan had become a complex and concrete person, who would personally go to every disaster site and save every subject, including that tiny baby, as if she were the mother of all.

Yet she was also truly autocratic, hiding many complicated matters, and seemed to hold considerable hostility towards her.

Lin Jianheng was troubled. Beside her, Yan Su leaned in from behind and called out softly, “Master.”

“Hm?” The sound immediately pulled Lin Jianheng out of her sluggish thoughts.

She turned her head, perhaps a little too quickly.

Her lips bumped against Yan Su’s cheek, then unintentionally slid to Yan Su’s lips.

In a flash, they stuck together. Yan Su instinctively wrapped her arms around Lin Jianheng’s shoulders, wanting to deepen the kiss.

“Mmph…” Lin Jianheng wanted to pull back immediately, afraid she had hurt Yan Su.

She was a bit off today, having hurt Yan Su several times.

But in less than a second, something soft and slippery probed its way in.

It was a kitten’s tongue.

It was wider and smoother than that. Yan Su’s lips and tongue were held in Lin Jianheng’s mouth, lightly bitten and sucked, sliding unintentionally.

An experience she had never had before.

Lin Jianheng’s neck flushed red, not yet realizing that this was a kiss.

She had no technique, just struggling haphazardly, wanting it to end quickly.

But Yan Su was lost the moment their lips touched, as if her very soul was being sucked into Lin Jianheng’s body.

The soft, wet kiss enveloped her scalp, and the sweet scent of orange blossoms rushed into her mind in great waves, making her want to drown in this moment.

The parched and hungry succubus tasted pheromones for the first time.

From the person she liked, her Alpha, her master.

The pheromones that had marked her flowed between her lips and teeth, stimulating every taste bud to savor this rare ambrosia.

How could a succubus give up such an opportunity? Her tail quickly turned red, and her ears and wings uncontrollably popped out, even spreading wide.

Completely constructing a cage, turning her master into her possession.

A pet was still a pet, using every means just to beg her master for control.

Yan Su slowly handed over the initiative, begging Lin Jianheng to press her down violently, to bite her wantonly, to kiss her.

But Lin Jianheng took the opportunity to escape, breaking the kiss.

She was frozen in the shadow cast by Yan Su’s wings, unable to move.

Time stood still.

Only their heavy breathing remained in the world. Yan Su licked the last drop of sweet dew from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with the crimson of fireworks.

Lin Jianheng frantically wondered what this was. Did she and Yan Su just kiss? Could she do that? Did she want to do that?

And what about Yan Su? Would she hate this, avoid her, loathe her?

Would she think she was a pervert for this?

But, but she was a straight girl, so doing this was fine, right?

It didn’t mean anything else, right?

Lin Jianheng deceived herself and turned her head, only to see the pink in Yan Su’s eyes.

The color of a rose lake, the texture of butterfly wings, the shimmering ripples.

They captured her gaze, and in the moment their eyes met, they captured her body, her soul.

Lin Jianheng hopelessly stared into Yan Su’s eyes, falling into Yan Su’s desire.

Yan Su retracted her overly bestial wings, reining in her equally primal lust.

She leaned down, climbing in front of Lin Jianheng.

“Master…” Yan Su was an insatiable, lowly kitten, a succubus who had tasted the sweetness and now craved more.

She was already about to faint from hunger. Having finally tasted Lin Jianheng’s pheromones, how could she just let it go?

Such a rare opportunity.

Yan Su had originally thought that Lin Jianheng would never kiss her. After all, she was just a plaything, how could she be worthy?

But in that accidental kiss just now, Yan Su had tasted Lin Jianheng’s lack of resistance.

Only a little confusion. The aftertaste was still sweet.

“Master, Master. Can you give it to me one more time?” Lin Jianheng had said she should be more proactive, more direct.

Did this count?

Lin Jianheng looked at her hesitantly.

What did a kiss mean? Lin Jianheng thought, she should know.

But what a kiss between two women meant, Lin Jianheng had no prior knowledge.

“Master, I’m begging you…” Yan Su sat down, her posture submissive, her voice soft and seductive, making anyone want to pounce on her, to tear her apart.

“I want to be more intimate with Master, is that okay? It won’t mean anything else.” As she spoke, she unbuttoned her collar, undoing the bow tie Lin Jianheng had tied for her, the substitute for a collar.

Lin Jianheng gave up on overthinking.

She didn’t know what kissing Yan Su would mean.

She only knew that she wanted to satisfy this Yan Su.

She wanted to hear her continue to whisper in her ear in that voice, wanted to taste if a pleading Yan Su was even softer than usual.

Lin Jianheng wanted to have a more formal kiss with Yan Su.

“Come here, little kitten.” Since it was to make them more intimate.

With no other meaning, she just wanted to be closer to Yan Su.

This was her little kitten, what couldn’t she do to her?

Why think about those worldly, moral, and ethical concepts?

Lin Jianheng took Yan Su’s hand.

And lightly, she pulled the bow tie undone for her.

Yan Su was led forward by her, obediently crawling to her side.

Then her chin was lifted by Lin Jianheng’s index finger.

A kiss fell just like that.

Lin Jianheng clearly had no experience.

She only knew that their lips had to touch, but she didn’t know what else to do.

Yan Su hadn’t practiced either, she only knew to offer her tongue, as if offering her entire being.

But Lin Jianheng pressed against Yan Su’s breath, wrapped an arm around her waist forcing her to bend back, and held her head, pulling her into her shadow.

She was clearly very good at this.

This instinctual bestiality was exactly what Yan Su sought.

She favored this slight discomfort, became intoxicated by it, drowned in it.

She liked it when Lin Jianheng was a little bolder with her, not too concerned about her well-being.

Just treat her like a toy. Yan Su closed her eyes and made a small effort.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Jianheng’s neck, her tongue pushing past her lips, committing an act of insubordination that she, the prey, should never miss.

Lin Jianheng struggled for a moment, then bit down on the invading object.

Yan Su let out a displeased breath, but Lin Jianheng seemed to have found the way.

She bit Yan Su’s tongue, as if tasting it, nibbling at that poor piece of soft flesh.

Holding Yan Su’s head, she hoped to go deeper.

The force was fierce, stopping just short of biting it off, making sure Yan Su was uncomfortable, as if punishing this shameless kitten who repeatedly seduced her.

Then, as Yan Su’s hot tears rolled down to her collarbone, she pulled back, switching to grinding against her lips.

Yan Su remained tilted back, in a thoroughly uncomfortable position, her face held by Lin Jianheng, her tears being wiped away.

Being devoured bit by bit.

After her tongue lost its autonomy, it was her lips’ turn. Then her lips went numb, becoming completely Lin Jianheng’s possession.

Finally eating her lips. Lin Jianheng bit them open, bit them until they hurt, bit until she was about to truly devour her.

…

The last shred of reason pulled Lin Jianheng to a stop, returning the breath of a human being to Yan Su.

Yan Su gasped for air, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Jianheng supported her waist, slowly laying her down so she wouldn’t be in such an awkward position.

Then, with her index finger, she pressed the corner of Yan Su’s parted lips, wiping away a stray drop and smearing it back onto Yan Su’s lips.

Like a final act of tenderness before killing her prey.

But their game stopped here.

Yan Su licked her lips, unintentionally touching Lin Jianheng’s fingertip.

Lin Jianheng touched the tongue that had been bitten sore, as a form of comfort.

She had just eaten Yan Su.

Like a rehearsal, it was preparation for that final moment.

Lin Jianheng took a deep breath. In that case, this didn’t count as a kiss.

She was just experimenting with being a cheetah. Yan Su was just her most obedient rabbit.

Truly delicious. Lin Jianheng slowly tidied Yan Su’s messy hair, the fine beads of sweat, her chaotic breathing.

Before Yan Su could recover, she lowered her head.

And gently, placed a kiss.

…

Pain.

When they kissed, that was the only thing Yan Su felt.

Lin Jianheng wasn’t kissing her, she was tasting her texture, testing her quality.

She was eating her, bit by bit.

Her lips were the first to be targeted. Along with her tongue, they were thoroughly bitten by Lin Jianheng.

But Lin Jianheng was the best master in the world.

She returned them to Yan Su, whole and intact.

And even compensated her with a truly light kiss.

Yan Su hugged Lin Jianheng’s arm, her eyes still brimming with tears.

She slowly came to, not minding that Lin Jianheng was tasting her.

She could be eaten in any way.

It was just… why did she have to take all the pheromones?

The poor succubus had been starving for days, and the rare opportunity she got to replenish her pheromones was completely taken away by her mean master.

Lin Jianheng was like a water pump, greedily consuming Yan Su’s pheromones.

After that one replenishment, she was even hungrier now.

Yan Su looked at Lin Jianheng with a somewhat resentful gaze.

Lin Jianheng’s fingertip brushed over her eyelashes, finding it novel.

Her succubus had been acting strange these past two days.

Why did she keep glaring at her?

“What’s wrong, Sister.” Since what just happened was a rehearsal for devouring her, and also a way to release her long-suppressed bestial desires, Lin Jianheng didn’t think much of it.

From beginning to end, it wasn’t a kiss.

She would continue to insist she was a straight girl for a while longer.

“If you want a marking, you can tell me,” Lin Jianheng said, stroking Yan Su’s face.

Right now, she would be very, very willing to give Yan Su a marking.

Would Yan Su be as cute as she was just now, kneeling before her and begging?

“…Mhm.” You have the nerve to say that. Yan Su felt a little peeved.

Anyway, Master wasn’t in a good state today either. If she didn’t give it, she didn’t give it.

It wasn’t like she really wanted it.

That look again.

If Lin Jianheng had a tail, it would be twitching in confusion right now.

A succubus’s thoughts were so hard to guess. No matter how she asked, she wouldn’t say if she wanted a marking or not.

Even though she was so…

No, no, she didn’t want to give a marking, she couldn’t be a pervert, and she was a straight girl.

“I’m going to wash up, Master.” Yan Su sulked to herself for a bit, but her attitude towards Lin Jianheng was still very good.

“Okay… I’ll wait for you in bed, Sister Yan.” The ambiguous atmosphere between them was about to fade, but Lin Jianheng just had to add that last sentence.

Yan Su turned her head, giving her that strange look again.

Lin Jianheng sat there blinking, looking quite innocent.

Yan Su sighed internally and closed the bathroom door.

Not giving her a marking, not feeding her pheromones, and when they finally kissed, she even stole her pheromones and left her to starve.

Bad, Master, bad.

---

The next day, Yan Su woke up reasonably on time.

When she opened her eyes, Lin Jianheng was picking out clothes.

“Master, are you going to work today?” Yan Su straightened her sleep-mussed collar, pressed against Lin Jianheng, and hugged her.

She began to gently nuzzle her hair.

“Good morning, Sister~ Good girl~” Lin Jianheng put the dress she was holding back, took out a suit, and patted Yan Su’s head, accidentally patting her face.

Yan Su closed her eyes and let out a series of purring sounds.

“You really are a little kitty.” Lin Jianheng’s mood improved slightly.

She had been worrying about her meeting with Li Zhaoge.

She had said it was to talk about the friend request, and the meeting place wasn’t the underground location from before.

Lin Jianheng had thought a lot about it but still couldn’t figure out what Li Zhaoge wanted to talk to her about.

“Yes, I’m Master’s kitty.” Yan Su was dizzy, her eyes barely open.

So hungry. Yan Su could smell the sweetness of her pheromones through Lin Jianheng’s hair.

She really wanted to lick it.

Yan Su’s breath tickled Lin Jianheng’s shoulder.

“I’m not going to the office today. I have to meet Li Zhaoge. She said she has something to discuss with me.” Lin Jianheng only spoke after she had been comfortably nuzzled, putting the suit back as well.

“So Master is picking out clothes to go out?” Yan Su’s brow furrowed, becoming alert at the mention of Li Zhaoge’s name.

Don’t think she couldn’t see it. That Li Zhaoge definitely had feelings for Lin Jianheng.

“Yeah. I feel like I’m meeting more than just her, maybe someone important, so I don’t know what to wear.” Perhaps, Canglin Zhixian would be there.

Lin Jianheng sighed openly. She didn’t know if she should dress more formally or casually.

No matter who the soul inside that shell was, on the surface, she was the Princess of the Empire. The one and only, with such a noble status.

But Li Zhaoge hadn’t given her any advance notice; it was just a gut feeling.

And, Lin Jianheng was actually procrastinating, not really wanting to go to the appointment.

She was curious about the reason for her transmigration, the meaning of being specifically thrown into that world.

Of course, she also wanted to know about her best friend.

It was too much trouble. Anyone would feel like running away, and Lin Jianheng’s avoidance manifested in picking out clothes.

But Yan Su misunderstood, thinking it was because of Li Zhaoge that she didn’t know what to wear.

What did this fiancée, Li Zhaoge, mean to Lin Jianheng?

Was she more special than her?

Yan Su inevitably felt sour. The sour dishes she ate at the cafeteria yesterday returned with an even more intense sourness, like wasabi rushing up her nose.

“I can help Master choose.” Yan Su sniffled, having some ulterior motives.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Sister.” Lin Jianheng clasped her hands together in a gesture of thanks.

Yan Su sized up Lin Jianheng’s wardrobe, her head still a little dizzy from hunger and sourness.

“This one. Formal and dignified.” Yan Su pointed to an all-black dress suit.

And an all-black overcoat.

Wearing it would be like wearing a garbage bag.

Lin Jianheng was silent for a second.

“Alright, I’ll wear this then.” She decided to listen to Yan Su.

Her little kitten wouldn’t harm her.

It didn’t matter what she wore; what was important was the meeting itself.

Yan Su looked at the outfit that completely concealed all of her figure’s features and nodded secretly. She knew this would be effective.

Before breakfast, Yan Su was still clinging to Lin Jianheng, whimpering.

When she was hungry, Yan Su had no energy and would become even clingier than before.

It was an instinctive reaction, and she was happy to be this way.

Lin Jianheng thought it was the morning call, the scratching, and the kiss that had brought them closer, and she was also delighted, hugging Yan Su and kissing her hair.

“Sister, if you need a marking, you can tell me,” Lin Jianheng suddenly said, as if remembering something, just before she was about to leave.

Yan Su’s eye twitched subtly.

What could she do if she said it now?

Would Lin Jianheng stay, skip her appointment with Li Zhaoge, and mark her?

She was just a pet, how could she ask for such a luxury?

“…Okay, Master.” Yan Su pinched her palm, enduring the hunger.

“I’m leaving then. Contact me if you need anything, by phone or in the spiritual space. Bye-bye, good girl.” Lin Jianheng gave her one last hug before heading out.

Yan Su stood at the door for a while, until she had inhaled all of her master’s lingering scent, before shakily returning to the room.

She collapsed onto the bed, her body trembling.

Maybe she should have said something…

The feeling of starvation was too unbearable, her instincts overriding her reason.

But Lin Jianheng hadn’t left any pheromones at home, and her underwear had long been washed clean.

After two hours of agony, Yan Su went to the kitchen, wanting to find something to eat to tide her over.

She couldn’t even walk the few steps steadily and fell to the floor, her vision turning black.

She was about to faint from hunger.
