The man’s handsome, deep-set eyes gazed at her with a searing passion, his dark green irises reflecting Yu Lan’s figure.

His face was slightly flushed, his bangs damp with sweat.

The hand holding Yu Lan’s was scorching hot.

His mating heat caused his body temperature to spike, and it seemed as if the very air around them was heating up.

Yu Lan froze completely.

She hadn’t expected Su Xingye to suddenly shift from the Silver Wolf into a man.

If it were the Silver Wolf, even knowing he was a transformed Beastman...

...his fluffiness was just too cute, and she always found herself being a bit indulgent.

’Who could dislike something so cute and fluffy?’

But now, she was abruptly faced with Su Xingye’s plea for intimacy.

Pinned by the intense gaze of the mature, handsome man,

Yu Lan immediately panicked.

Under Su Xingye’s stare, her soft, red lips pressed tightly together, her Cupid’s bow pouting slightly as a trace of bewilderment flickered in her beautiful amber eyes.

It took a long moment before the beautiful female seemed to understand what Su Xingye’s request implied.

She hastily opened her mouth, rushing to refuse him in a fluster.

"I, I-I... How can I help..."

"No, wait, before, you clearly didn’t like..."

’They were the ones who didn’t want me at the start, who didn’t want anything to do with me.’

And that was how Yu Lan had always acted.

’So why is he being like this now?’

The beautiful female’s face crumpled in a pitiful expression as she racked her brain, trying to think of a solution.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"Do you have a female you like? I can have someone bring her here for you right away, okay?"

"Oh, right, you’ve regained your senses now, haven’t you? Can you hold on a little longer?"

Yu Lan was severely lacking in knowledge and understanding of an interstellar beastman’s mating heat.

It was no wonder, since she had always considered herself a female without any Healing Power, thinking she might never have to face a situation like this in her entire life.

That’s why she was so easily deceived by Su Xingye now.

As soon as Yu Lan’s words fell, in the very next second, Su Xingye’s entire body abruptly seemed to burst into flames. His black uniform, torn in the chaos, revealed a large expanse of his chest.

From the man’s bare chest to his strong neck, his sharp, handsome face, and even his earlobes—

—everything was a scorching, flushed red.

The young, handsome man knelt on the floor, panting heavily, his eyes bright with hopeful pleading for the female’s comfort.

Su Xingye took Yu Lan’s hand and pressed it against his own face. Yu Lan was instantly startled by the searing heat.

At this moment, the man was like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

Beneath his skin was churning, molten lava.

All of it was barely held in check by Su Xingye’s precarious sanity.

The moment he touched the beautiful female’s fair, soft skin, Su Xingye could no longer hold back.

The Beastman genes inside him took over, and he tried to bury his entire head in Yu Lan’s palm.

’So fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant.’

He even shamelessly stuck out his tongue and licked her.

’Oh my god!’

The moist sensation on her palm made Yu Lan blush.

If the Silver Wolf had done such a thing, she would have just thought he was being mischievous.

But now, she couldn’t ignore the fact that this was Su Xingye doing it.

The proud, cold, and handsome Genius Lieutenant General of the Empire, who was as beautiful as a god and could wipe out entire armies with a wave of his hand.

Blushing, Yu Lan forcefully pulled her hand back from Su Xingye’s grasp, her voice low.

"Su Xingye, don’t be like this."

"I-I-I, I really have to go."

Yu Lan had rushed over simply because she didn’t want an Imperial Major General of his generation to lose his sanity and devolve into a feral beast.

Su Xingye’s condition was clearly much better now. She figured that even without her here, he could probably get through it on his own.

"I... I’ll go get you a soothing agent."

Before receiving a female’s comfort, a male could use a soothing agent to forcibly suppress the burning mating heat.

Now that Su Xingye had regained his senses, he could do it too.

But he was unwilling.

’Why?’

’The beautiful female is right here by my side. Why is she so stingy with her comfort, wanting me to use a soothing agent for a painful suppression instead?’

After reaching adulthood, the turbulent desires from his mating heat, forcibly suppressed time and again with cold soothing agents, erupted with furious intensity at this moment.

It was a violent backlash.

In the split second before Yu Lan, who had turned and walked to the door, pressed down on the handle to open it—

—the aura of the man kneeling on one knee changed instantly.

A powerful, sharp, and terrifying presence spread through the air.

SLAM!

The door, which had been opened a crack, was slammed shut by the male.

The male’s lean, strong, and scorching body pressed against Yu Lan’s soft, slender frame from behind.
