Chapter 334 - 8.61 First Blue Star - Not Forgiven
The pleading words continue to come out of Altair Sirius's mouth together with his tears. The pain inside of him at this moment is even more when he is in a state of mania. He felt that he was about to go crazy and wanted to kill himself.
The same words come out of his mouth countless times. Like a broken radio looping each word endlessly. The heartache is pretty obvious on his face and his eyes were misted with tears, falling uncontrollably like a waterfall. Right now, Feng Jing still feels the aftereffects of the permanent mark on his nape.
Lethargic, numb, and sore but seeing his husband cry like that is something he could never get used to. Though he truly wanted to punish his lover for his mistrust towards him, to continue to torment him to this day is still too depressing for him to ignore.
For someone who was born apathetic, only this man in front of him is his source of humanity. The origin of his feelings and emotions. A direct descendant of the Mo Clan is always compared to an emotionless doll. They were cold in nature and could only like those who share their own blood.
Feng Jing is just a machine who executes his task to pass his eternity and the man before him is his sole solace. The other half of Mo is their only weakness and strength. Those who had shared a bond with a Mo bloodline could share each other's talents and skills. Both couples can use the abilities of the other as their own. The reason for this is because their souls are bound to each other. This is also why only their other half except for their family could kill a Mo.
As long as one of the two is alive, the other would never perish no matter what. This is the truth behind the love of Mo.
But he chooses not to forgive this man that easily, if he indulges him without letting him regret for a while, he might take his existence for granted and keep things from him again. This person doesn't know how much he had panicked upon hearing that he went to the central region with a group of sentinel even after the warning from Grandfather Celeste about the special ability of the pureblooded zergs.
Is mania that easy to control? No! It is a state of madness where the one who has gone crazy doesn't know that he is hurting everyone around him. The worse ending, the crazy man in mania would even kill himself in the end. The death of his lover is the thing that scares him the most.
Weakly opening his eyes only to be welcomed by the blurry sight of his husband's figure. Feng Jing's face remains expressionless as he wipes the tears of Altair Sirius only to close his eyes once again. His hoarse and dry voice echoes in the bathroom.
Feng Jing said, "Call a doctor. My family won't calm down unless a doctor checks on my state." Then there are no more words except for those. Clearly, the little darling hasn't forgiven him yet.
The marshal could only sigh as he gently helped Feng Jing laid down on the bathtub comfortably, he lowered his head and gently kissed Feng Jing between his eyebrows.
"I will call the doctor. Wait a bit for me." said the Marshal who walks out of the bathroom with heavy steps.
Meanwhile, Zhi Yue who had noticed the return of his host and Lord God had turned back to his system avatar form and witnessed this kind of scene between the couple, he felt guilty for not informing his host about his Lord God's plan that night.
[H-Host... Are you angry?]
Feng Jing responded with his thoughts as usual.
"I am. Though it couldn't change the result that is now out. To think that you choose to follow the orders of a memoryless Soul Fragment than me. Yue, have I been too kind to you lately? That you would forget that the highest authorized person in this place is me."
[...I'm sorry, host...]
"I know that A'Xia is your Lord God but based on my position, I am all your superior, and in the future, that would not change as well. Moreover, you are my system right now. If you can't even remember my warnings should I just give you orders you can't say no to?"
The little moon system glows dimmer as he gets scolded by his host. Right now, System Yue could only shut himself up and listen to his host's reprimands but at the last question he couldn't help but shake himself and his glow blinked in panic. Feng Jing understood his answer and took it as a No.
"Remember, Yue. I am never a kind person. I will turn a blind eye to this case just this once. But no next time, do you understand?" asked Feng Jing but his tone is cold and detached unlike before.
[I understand, Lord Hei.]
Sighs~
Feng Jing ordered, "Keep an eye open for those alien races. I'm sure there are more outsiders in this world than before. Also, relay the reports about the incoming attacks of the Zerg Race to my lover."
[I will do as you order, Host.]
"By the way, when I left the camp Xue Ying was still suffering from mania. How is he now?"
[No need to worry about Lieutenant General Xue Ying, he is fine right now. His mania is cured thanks to that student named Lin Yven. I've checked that their compatibility is at least 60 percent.]
Feng Jing responded, "Good. For now, I want to rest for a while. Protect Sirius, I will be out for a few hours."
[As you wish, Lord Hei.]
System Yue watched his host until he breathed out rhythmically which signifies that he is asleep. The Marshal had returned soon and took over looking after his host. System Yue only left when the Marshal had returned. He didn't forget to inform the Marshal about his host's mood as well.
[Marshal.]
Altair Sirius's expression turned even colder knowing that System Yue is here while he is out.
"What is it?" His tone is too cold and distant.
Zhi Yue materialized before the marshal startled the latter for a split second. If he didn't speak with the same voice familiar to the marshal, he would have killed him on the spot.
"Marshal Altair. I am Yue."
The marshal asked, "You can materialize in the real world."
"Yes. I'm here to inform the marshal that from now on my prioritized orders would be my host, Feng Jing. Please forgive me for this rudeness. You can still reach out to me for other tasks. I will now go to do my host's orders." said Zhi Yue.
Marshal Sirius asked, "What are your tasks?"
"To investigate some alien races and the movement of the Zerg Race towards his planet," answered Zhi Yue without meeting the marshal's eyes.
"Those bugs! Are they planning a war on this planet!? Such guts! I guess they needed to be taught a lesson they would never forget. You may go now. Give me the reports you will gather for your trip as well, especially the movements of the Zerg race," said the marshal.
Zhi Yue nods his head before disappearing in thin air but only those who can see that he returned to his avatar moon form and flew away at a speed that no one could notice with their naked eyes. While the marshal silently approached his sleeping lover and gently carried him out of the bath. He carried him out to the bed and gently placed him on the soft mattress after drying him off.
After putting on clean pajamas on Feng Jing and tucked him in on the bed, he finally allowed the doctors who were waiting outside his room. He asked them to wait outside and without question, those doctors had stayed where the marshal had left them.
Only when the door to the Marshal's bedroom was opened by the owner itself did they enter.
Marshal Sirius is a deadpan cold face who opened the door and said, "Enter. Watch the sound of your footsteps."
The doctors exchanged helpless expressions and felt like the Marshal didn't want them to come. This means it was Young Lord Feng Jing who told him to call the doctors. Thinking how much Feng Yang and Feng Yue, the Feng siblings and the Crowned King, Regulus Zenith let out a collective sigh upon knowing they were out to check the current state of their little darling, the Young Lord Feng Jing must have thought of them as well.
The Marshal sat beside Feng Jing and held his sleeping lover's hand while watching the doctors closely on how they work. Even though he is not willing to let others touch his lover, since Feng Jing said so himself, he couldn't say no to him. After all, his little darling seems to haven't forgiven him yet.
"You are not allowed to draw out blood or something. I will kill you if you do." threatened Marshal Sirius.
Some doctors who were looking for something in his bag and accidentally pulled out a syringe almost fell on his knees when he heard the marshal's cold yet frightening voice. His co-workers had sent him some piteous gazes after seeing his situation.
While stuttering he tried to explain to the marshal, "No. no. no... Marshal, I promise I won't!" The panicking doctor immediately threw out the syringe in his hand to his bag, extremely afraid that the marshal might kill him on the spot.
"Noisy. Do your work fast so you can leave as soon as possible. Only one needs to report the results. The others can tell our family about it." said the marshal as he returned his gaze to Feng Jing who was asleep beside him. Once his eyes landed on his lover the coldness glinting within his eyes had faded and turned gentle and affectionate. As if the man who threatened the doctor a few seconds ago is a different person.
After the doctors had given Feng Jing a full body check-up except for taking his blood, the rest had all left and only a Sentinel Doctor remained after his co-workers shared each other's reports.
The doctor said, "Marshal, we had finished the check-up. There are no problems with the results, it's just that the Young Lord is too fatigued right now. Err~ the marshal might have overdone it a bit because the marking was done during your mania. His mark would be swollen for a few more days even after pouring some medicinal medicine on it as the Marshal injected too many pheromones. I suggest that you... the marshal to massage that part and remove the excess pheromone to avoid the Young Lord from being overwhelmed by it."
"How about his body? Are there no implications? I mean we have done it while he is still young?" asked the Marshal.
The doctor responded, "According to the result, the Young Lord is a special type Guide. An above-ranked SSS awakened person, his physique is not much different from an SSS-rank Sentinel like me. It must be thanks to this that the Young Lord's body is unharmed during the marking. Moreover... There are some weird results here. According to the test done, it seems that the Young Lord Regeneration cells were active more so than the others. In short, his wounds and injuries heal at a very fast rate. It might be because of the bloodline that his clan possesses. The Phoenix Clan have an extremely special bloodline after all."
"I see. That's good. By the way, I heard some news about Xue Ying. Is he awake now?" asked the Marshal.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Xue is awake. We were also surprised. When he woke up just now his mania was gone. Some guide doctors checked on him and said that someone's pheromones were left in the Lieutenant General's head and helped him purify the mania. It seems that a hidden guide in this camp had helped him." said the doctor.
"Tell him I will meet him tonight. Also, inform the others to gather, we need to prepare for war. The Zerg Race would be attacking this planet soon. We will have to fight them." said Marshal Sirius. "You may leave."
The Sentinel doctor before him suddenly had a serious expression on his face. Obviously, this person is a soldier like the rest of the adults in the camp. After saluting towards the marshal, the doctor unhurriedly left the room as if fearing that the sound of his footsteps might wake up the important person on the bed.. Only when the doctor had left, that silence once again descended in the room.
