Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Silver Wolf’s Chastity

Meanwhile,

The expressions of Mrs. Su, Queen Belina, and Louisa, who all knew the inside story, changed in unison.

Yu Lan had no Healing Power. She couldn’t even perform the simplest soothing, so how could she possibly pacify Su Xingye, who was now entering his mating period?

Perhaps because his last mating period had been artificially triggered, this one came on fast and hard. The fluctuations in his spiritual power were extremely violent, showing faint signs of an impending collapse.

If he couldn’t be successfully soothed now, was the Empire going to lose another SSS-level warrior?

Queen Belina would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

Her gaze shifted to Louisa, who was standing beside her.

The moment the adjutant raised this issue, Louisa’s heart began to pound violently.

Yu Lan had no Healing Power, so she couldn’t soothe him.

The higher the Level of a male, the higher the Level of the female needed to soothe them.

For example, her—an S-Class female.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to claim Su Xingye for herself.

Louisa rushed forward, her eyes fixed on Su Xingye in the iron cage.

"Major General Su, this is an emergency. I am willing to soothe you and help you safely get through your mating period, as long as you are willing to become one of my male husbands."

"If you are willing, could you please nod your head?"

When an SSS-level male enters a mating period, entering their cage without permission could very well lead to being accidentally injured.

Even though Louisa was incredibly impatient, she could only wait cautiously outside the iron cage for Su Xingye’s consent.

Inside the iron cage,

Su Xingye’s consciousness had not yet completely faded.

His reason told him he should nod and accept.

It was the best possible outcome.

He would have a High Level Female Master, and every future mating period could be spent safely under her soothing.

On the other hand,

With Marshal Huo Zhanting’s fate unknown, the military was short on top-tier combat power. He, of all people, should agree, recover quickly, and smooth over the turmoil caused by the news about Huo Zhanting.

But...

But an image of the beautiful young female’s soft, stunning face inexplicably flashed through Su Xingye’s mind—her palm-sized face, her long, thick hair like seaweed cascading over her shoulders, her faint eyebrows, her dark, long, curled eyelashes, and her round, amber, almond-shaped eyes, more brilliant and clear than the finest gems.

The line of her upturned nose was delicate, and her rose-like lips, even when pressed together slightly, seemed to invite a deep kiss.

He had clearly spent so little time with Yu Lan.

And yet, Su Xingye remembered her so clearly.

Every single detail was preserved in his memory.

And that rich, warm, sweet scent.

So sweet, so sweet, so sweet.

Having seen such a stunningly beautiful female, Su Xingye now realized he was unwilling to accept Louisa’s soothing, much less become one of her male husbands.

Su Xingye was unwilling.

The crowd watched as the Silver Wolf in the iron cage seemed to come to a decision.

It suddenly threw its head back, opened its mouth to reveal sharp fangs, and let out a deafening roar.

It was a desperate howl, as if poured from all its strength, the one and only cry of its lifetime.

’Yu Lan, the Dark Planet’s induction agent is too strong. I’m about to die. Will you ever know?’

The Silver Wolf’s refusal was beyond everyone’s expectations.

No one had expected such an outcome.

Louisa’s expression darkened for a moment.

Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into tight fists.

Mrs. Su nearly fell to her knees before Su Xingye, her hands weakly gripping the bars of the steel cage as she slid down.

"Xingye, Xingye, please say yes, okay?"

"Mother is begging you."

"If you do this, what am I supposed to do?"

"Are you going to leave me to live in this world all alone?"

The Silver Wolf stopped ramming its head against the cage. It just lay down limply in the center, opened its mouth, and gave Mrs. Su two silent whines.

’I’m sorry.’

’But my decision is final.’

The Silver Wolf was born to be free and follow its heart.

Even though he came from a common background, his extraordinary talent allowed him to rise to the top in every competition.

His pride and self-respect made it impossible for him to choose another after understanding his own heart.

In ancient times, if the Wolf Queen died, the Wolf King, after fighting to the death to tear apart his enemies, would choose to follow her in death.

The Silver Wolf was a born lone wolf.

Until he chose a mate.

If it’s not her,

he would rather die.

The Silver Wolf in the iron cage closed its eyes. Those deep green eyes, more beautiful than the finest emeralds, shut heavily.

No one knew if they would ever see their brilliance again.

The Silver Wolf’s non-compliance brought the situation to a stalemate.

Finally, Queen Belina sighed and waved her hand, giving an order:

"In that case, send Major General Su home for now."

He was, after all, a hero in Thirteen District’s successful defeat of the Dark Planet.

Queen Belina wasn’t going to get angry just because he refused Louisa’s soothing.

With that said, Belina departed in a hurry under the protection of the Royal Guard.

The Royal Family’s procession left, but Louisa stayed behind.

Facing the grief-stricken Mrs. Su, Louisa explained with a smile:

"I believe Major General Su may just be having a hard time accepting it at the moment and hasn’t thought things through clearly."

"It’s all right. I’m willing to give him a little more time and accompany him home."

"If Major General Su has a change of heart soon and thinks differently, I can be there to help soothe him right away."

Hearing this, the Silver Wolf in the iron cage twitched its furry ears.

He wanted to say, ’That won’t happen.’

But in the end, he didn’t make a sound.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

"Princess, thank you. I am so incredibly grateful to you."

"I will never forget your great kindness for the rest of my life."

「In the laboratory.」

For Yu Lan, the experiments she usually performed with ease were going poorly today, with all sorts of minor problems cropping up repeatedly.

The constant cycle of failed experiments and retries was making her agitated and distracted.

Yu Lan knew it was because she was feeling unsettled.

After yet another failed experiment, Yu Lan took a deep breath.

She stood silently before the console for a long while before finally opening her phone, wanting to see what the current situation was.

After all, Su Xingye was still her fiancé in name.

Though perhaps not for much longer.

But Su Xingye was one of the first people she had met after coming to this world, and the Silver Wolf’s furry head was so pleasant to pet.

Yu Lan paused, then tapped into the Science Research Institute’s internal chat group. People from the institute had been sent to the welcome ceremony for Su Xingye’s return today, so perhaps someone there would know what was happening.

Unexpectedly, the very first thing Yu Lan saw when she opened the chat group was a message that stunned her.

[Major General Su refused Princess Louisa’s soothing and has been locked in an iron cage and sent back to the Su Family home.]

[What? Major General Su actually refused Princess Louisa? She’s an S-Class female! Why? Is there someone even better than Princess Louisa? What on earth was the Major General thinking?]

[Ahem, if it’s because of *that* one, then it’s not entirely impossible.]

Yu Lan didn’t know who "that one" the group was talking about was. She just stared blankly at the messages saying Su Xingye had refused Louisa’s soothing.

’Wait, he refused Louisa? Then how is Su Xingye going to get through his mating period?’

’Isn’t he afraid his spiritual power will collapse and he’ll degenerate into a mindless beast?’

Just then, the laboratory door beeped, and Shen Zueran walked in.
