Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Silver Wolf Would Rather Die

"Aren’t you in pain right now?"

"Mother is so worried about you."

It was Mrs. Su’s voice, filled with anxiety.

"That’s right, Xingye. I know there’s someone else in your heart now."

Louisa bit her lip, unwilling to concede. There was only one explanation for a male refusing to accept the soothing of a High-Level female.

His heart had already been completely captured by another female.

Because of this, these naturally proud males would voluntarily remain chaste, keeping their bodies pure and absolutely refusing the touch of any other female.

It was a loyalty so profound it made one envious, jealous, and desperate to possess it.

’Louisa racked her brain but couldn’t figure it out. Who was it? Which female had managed to steal Su Xingye’s heart right from under her nose, despite all her efforts to corner him?’

At this moment, Louisa had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. She spoke, her voice laced with reluctance.

"It’s alright, Admiral Xingye. If you are unwilling, I will not force you to become my Beast Husband."

"I just want to save your life and help you get through this rutting season."

"You are a hero of the Empire. With Marshal Huo missing, you are all we can rely on. I implore you, for the sake of the Empire’s people, please reconsider."

"It’s just a temporary soothing. I’m sure the Female Master you love and have submitted to will understand."

"Perhaps you could tell us who she is? We can have her come over, couldn’t we?"

Louisa was making a bet.

She was betting that there was something wrong with the female Su Xingye loved.

Otherwise, in such a critical moment, why wouldn’t Su Xingye just reveal the female’s identity and ask for her soothing?

’It can only mean this female must have a reason she cannot appear in public.’

’In that case, Su Xingye, your next choice is easy to predict.’

"Admiral Xingye, don’t you want to live to see your beloved female again?"

"It’s just a temporary soothing. It won’t matter."

Her voice, full of temptation, rang out.

Like a devil whispering in his ear.

Tempting him to sin.

「Inside the iron cage」

Hearing those words, a glint of light flashed in Su Xingye’s eyes.

’Louisa was right. He desperately wanted to live, to see Yu Lan again.’

’But absolutely not by being temporarily soothed by another female.’

’Yu Lan has no Healing Power. She’s destined to be unable to help a male through his rutting season.’

’So, in the future, if he wanted to live a long life, would he have to seek out other females again and again?’

’This time it’s a temporary soothing. What about next time?’

’What kind of male betrays his own Female Master?’

He clenched his silver fangs, resisting the increasingly sharp pain drilling into his mind.

A trickle of crimson blood flowed from the corner of the Silver Wolf’s mouth, and his fine, emerald-green eyes began to lose focus.

He would rather die.

Su Xingye would rather die than betray the chastity he was keeping for his Female Master.

Suddenly, Mrs. Su’s tragic and heart-wrenching sobs echoed through the villa’s room.

"Xingye!"

「At that very moment」

The shrill sound of the doorbell rang out.

The butler stood dutifully to the side and announced,

"Ma’am, Princess Yu Lan has arrived."

The Su Family’s butler had been hired personally by Su Xingye.

Naturally, he knew about the relationship between Su Xingye and Yu Lan.

With Yu Lan at the door, he had no choice but to step forward and announce her.

"Princess Yu Lan says she has a potion that can help the Admiral safely pass his rutting season without a female’s soothing."

The words had barely left his mouth when Louisa cut him off.

"What is Lanlan talking about? That’s insane." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Since ancient times, a male’s rutting season can only be handled by a female’s soothing. Even using a soothing agent is just forced suppression. The next time his rutting season arrives, the backlash will be even more severe."

"If Lanlan hadn’t used an induction agent on Xingye to trigger his rut last time, perhaps it wouldn’t be this severe."

Though Louisa spoke casually, her words struck a deep chord with her listener.

Sure enough, as soon as Louisa finished speaking, the expression on Mrs. Su’s face changed dramatically.

The anguish of being on the verge of losing her son instantly found an outlet.

Mrs. Su waved her hand dismissively.

"I won’t see her."

"Tell her to go back to wherever she came from."

"My son doesn’t like her, don’t you know that?"

"If it weren’t for her, Xingye’s rutting season wouldn’t be like this! Tell her to take her potion and get lost!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Su slowly sank to her knees again before the Silver Wolf in the iron cage.

"Xingye, my son, how did you end up so miserable?"

"A useless female with no Healing Power..."

"She’s the one who’s ruined you!"

Before, Mrs. Su hadn’t dared to complain, mindful of Yu Lan’s status and the fact that her marriage to Su Xingye had been decreed by Queen Belina herself.

But now, facing the Silver Wolf lying in the iron cage, seemingly unconscious, her anger finally erupted.

The butler returned to Yu Lan and relayed Mrs. Su’s message.

Hearing Mrs. Su’s words, Yu Lan’s expression flickered for a moment. She wasn’t the type of shameless girl to force herself on someone who didn’t like her.

But she could understand Mrs. Su’s feelings right now.

Besides, she hadn’t come to seek affection, but to save a life.

With that in mind, Yu Lan reached out and grabbed the butler’s hand, her gaze clear and resolute as she looked at him.

"Please, trouble yourself to announce me one more time."

"The potion I have can truly help Su Xingye successfully get through his rutting season."

"Since Su Xingye is refusing any female’s soothing right now, why not give it a try?"

"Can Mrs. Su really bear to just stand by and watch, do nothing, and wait for Su Xingye to die?"

The question exploded in Mrs. Su’s mind like a thunderclap.

Mrs. Su laughed in fury.

"Fine, fine, fine. So Yu Lan wants to come in, does she?"

"Let her come."

"I’d like to see just what she’s capable of."

"Only the Healing Power possessed by a female can soothe a male through his rutting season and calm his rampaging spiritual power."

"I’d just love to see what skills this Princess who lost her Healing Power has to accomplish that."

Mrs. Su told the butler to bring Yu Lan up.

Standing to the side, Louisa apologized to Mrs. Su in a gentle voice.

"Sigh, Lanlan is just so thoughtless. Please, Mrs. Su, don’t be angry. It’s not worth upsetting your health."

"As for Admiral Xingye, I hope you won’t worry, Mrs. Su. Just wait a little longer. Once Admiral Xingye loses his strength, I am willing to go in and soothe him by force."

’Such a loyal heart, such an iron will.’

’If the soft approach doesn’t work...’

’...then it’s time for the hard one.’

Louisa was determined to have him.

Thanks to her usual, well-maintained facade, when Mrs. Su heard that Louisa wanted to forcibly soothe Su Xingye and establish a connection with him, she wasn’t angry at all. Instead, it was as if she had found a savior.

She gripped Louisa’s hands tightly, her beautiful eyes welling with tears.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

「Just then」

Yu Lan was brought upstairs by the butler.

A rich, fresh fragrance spread through the air.

The Silver Wolf, who should have been unconscious from the pain, twitched his nose and sniffed.

’Xiangxiang!’

’So fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant!’

It was a scent etched deep into his very soul.

Not even death could make him forget it.
