Shen Tang was tightly confined in his embrace.

He lifted her leg, slowly sinking down to get closer, his scorching breath and shadow enveloping her completely.

So intimately close, she could clearly feel his increasing excitement,

and increasing danger.

Shen Tang could almost foresee the coming storm, her body involuntarily shivering. But when that moment truly arrived, she couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, her fingers tightly clawing at his back, leaving trails of crimson marks.

At the same moment, Xiao Jin let out a suppressed low gasp.

He retained a shred of rationality, kissing away the dampness at the corner of her eye with tenderness, yet no matter what, he couldn’t bear to let her go, instead softly coaxing her again and again, "Don’t be afraid... I’ll be gentle..."

Shen Tang clung to him like an octopus.

Xiao Jin kissed her affectionately, his palm resting on her waist, whispering gentle words of love.

Shen Tang gazed at the ceiling above, her vision becoming blurry, the corner of her eyes moist with a thin mist, her expression seeming both painful and joyful.

In that moment of emptying her mind, the passage of time seemed to lose its meaning. The stars before her eyes sparkled like bursting fireworks.

Xiao Jin lowered his head to gently kiss her burning earlobe, huskily asking, "Does it feel good?"

Shen Tang replied in a broken voice. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Just two words, yet they made him completely lose control.

"Ah—"

Shen Tang began to tremble violently, biting into the side of his neck in pain.

A shallow bite mark was left on Xiao Jin’s slender neck, almost drawing blood, yet he seemed unaware, suddenly flipping her around, gripping her wrist.

No one knows how long had passed before he collapsed in defeat in the crook of her neck, sweat slipping down his jawline, his deep breaths sensuous enough to make one’s heart numb.

Satisfied, he hugged Shen Tang and sank into the bedding, his arms tightly wrapped around her, as if wanting to merge her into his bones, never to part.

Shen Tang took quite a while to gradually regain her senses, her body drenched in sweat, pushing him wanting to go take a bath, but the man was as heavy as a boulder, his arms locked around her waist, unmoving.

Frustrated, she pulled his arm over and lightly bit it.

"Hmm... Tangtang..." Xiao Jin arched his body closer, his chest pressed against her back, his face buried in her neck, gently nuzzling, his hair tickling her, a satisfied purring sound coming from his throat.

Shen Tang’s heart softened like spring water, unable to bear blaming him, she slowly turned and embraced him back.

Being so close, she examined his sleeping face in detail, his features deep and handsome, the lines sharp as if carved, without a single flaw.

Beneath the high bridge of his nose were vermilion lips, beautifully shaped, the line of the upper lip slightly upturned, always seeming to carry a wicked smile, yet exuding an untamed wildness.

Only at times like this does he show rare docility and laziness, like a cat satiated in the afternoon, lethargic.

On his chest, back, and waist, were all her left "masterpieces."

While Shen Tang admired her "masterpiece" carefully, she suddenly noticed something was amiss.

Her fingers landed on Xiao Jin’s nape, detecting a very subtle energy leakage.

The system sent a shocked message: [Host, I detected just now, the place you touched had a micro energy chip implanted, less than 0.2 millimeters long and wide.]

"What’s this thing?" Shen Tang paused in motion, appearing surprised.

The system’s voice was very serious: [Host still remembers when Xiao Jin was controlled by the laboratory previously, there was an energy chip at his heart! This chip is largely similar to the previous one, but it is an upgraded version, more concealed, harder to detect.]

Shen Tang’s breath instantly caught, nervously saying, "Those laboratory people targeted Xiao Jin again?"

[Seems so, now the host and your Beast Husband are already the foremost concerns of the Alien Star Forces, they certainly want to eliminate you, and Xiao Jin is an experiment from the laboratory, also their easiest target to strike.]

[Although the control core inside Xiao Jin has been destroyed, those people likely still hold his experimental data, thus can manufacture a control chip specifically targeting him, to control him.]

[Host, think about it, Xiao Jin is a powerful Primordial Beast, once he rebels and joins the enemy’s camp, what a threat it would be to us.]

[Even more frightening, Xiao Jin is your bedfellow, if one day he really gets his mind controlled, then without even him knowing, the other side can entirely control him to kill you!]

Shen Tang’s heart turned cold.

The system sighed with some relief: [But fortunately, my system is also upgraded, its detection capability stronger than before, detecting the chip inside Xiao Jin ahead of time.]

[Full control by the chip requires time, he’s not greatly affected yet, just need to remove the chip.]

After the system upgraded, its functions also became more abundant, allowing for extraction of the chip from Xiao Jin’s body by consuming points.

But since the laboratory people implanted a chip into Xiao Jin once, a second, surely they can implant a third and fourth time.

And the chip will continue to upgrade, Shen Tang may not discover each time, truly making it hard to guard against, what should be done?

The system said: [I can extract the chip information, can implement a defense against it, but requires consuming ten thousand points.]

"Ten thousand points, why don’t you just rob me?!"

Shen Tang, combining all her possessions now, had only ten to twenty thousand points.

Over these two years, she had painstakingly saved up so many points, this damned system wanted to rob her in a day!

The system sternly justified: [Host, the higher the points, the better the effect, trading a life for ten thousand points, not a loss!]

Shen Tang gritted her teeth, still bought it.

[Ding! Points -10000.]

[Ding! Activated "Control Defense" program for host’s Beast Husband Xiao Jin!]

Although it hurt, Shen Tang didn’t regret it, instead, it reinforced her resolve to eliminate the Alien Star Forces.

For herself, for the people, and for Xiao Jin.

"Tangtang, what’s wrong?" Xiao Jin detected the coldness in the breath of the person in his arms, leaned down to kiss her forehead, hoarsely asked.

He was clearly unaware of everything that had just happened.

Shen Tang did not hide it, telling him the entire story.

Xiao Jin’s originally lazy and satisfied expression instantly vanished, his brows furrowing tightly, his face serious.

He recalled the encounter at the rebel army base, seemed to be when he got hit.

The slight sting in the back of his neck, he hadn’t paid attention to before, was extracted by Shen Tang.

She had spent so many points for him...

Xiao Jin was overwhelmed with emotion.

She had done so much for him.

He really loves her.

His heart swelled with indescribable emotions, he could only hold her tighter, entwining her.

"Shall we go again?"

"Twice, is it alright..."

The movements in the room resumed once more,

from dusk till midnight,

until dawn slowly lit the sky, finally quieting down.

[Congratulations host, Xiao Jin’s affection value +20!]
