Today, the food delivered by the Xi Er tribe was finally not potato mush, but potato pancakes instead. These pancakes were fried to a golden brown, sprinkled with little green leaves on top. Although it was hard to tell what the seasoning was, they smelled incredibly good. Ma Liu swallowed his saliva, barely believing his eyes, and asked, “Is this… for us to eat?”

Ai Pu nodded lightly and handed over the container of food once again.

Ma Liu hurriedly took it, gratefully saying, “Thank you! Thank you so much!” He knew all too well that all he had been eating lately was potato mush, and only once a day, which was hardly enough to fill his stomach. Luckily, people from the Planet Geothermal were used to hunger, and since they were confined in ice houses all day without needing much physical strength, they managed to get by.

The potato pancakes were still steaming. Ma Liu grabbed one and took a bite. The flavor engulfed his mouth and for a moment, he thought it was the tastiest thing he had ever eaten in his life. Nearly moved to tears by the meal, he didn’t forget about his two companions.

When they had chosen their rooms, it seemed destined that the other two would share one, and he would have one to himself. He wasn’t complaining, but he had hoped to discuss future plans with Cheng Xu during their free time, which was now spoiled. After they entered their room, they had shut the door tightly and hadn’t come out since. And it wasn’t even dark yet.

Shivering slightly, Ma Liu walked over to the neighboring ice house. As usual, he admired the carvings on the ice walls before knocking on the door. The ice was transparent, but because it was so thick, he couldn’t see clearly inside the room. He could only make out vague shapes of furniture and beds, and barely any human silhouettes. He knocked several times without any response, which puzzled him. Raising his voice, he called out, “Cheng Ge, Yan Qi, are you there? Ai Pu just brought some delicious potato pancakes, let’s eat together.”

After he finished speaking, a voice finally came from inside. It was Cheng Xu’s, “No need…”

“Huh? Aren’t you hungry? What about Yan Qi?” Ma Liu found it odd. Just after his words fell, more sounds came from inside, not voices, but continuous dull thumps. Ma Liu was unfamiliar with the noise and couldn’t immediately tell what it was. He even thought it sounded like the thumping of bodies.

Could the two inside be fighting?

Ma Liu quickly dismissed the thought. Impossible, Cheng Ge was always so good-tempered, and he seemed to get along fine with Yan Qi. How could they be fighting?

“He… doesn’t need it either,” Cheng Xu’s voice came again, sounding a bit strained as if he was holding back something.

The thumping noises grew denser. Ma Liu guessed that the two inside were involved in something he shouldn’t intrude on, so he said, “Okay, then. I’ll leave some for you guys.”

Hearing the footsteps fade away, Cheng Xu finally let out a breath of relief, but as soon as he relaxed his jaws, he couldn’t help but moan, his body shivering continuously.

A thick meaty shaft was deeply buried inside him, stretching his anal cavity so tightly that there wasn’t a single gap left. A place not originally meant for lovemaking had become lewd over a year of adjustment. His flesh softened under the man’s fingers, not feeling overly painful even when the thick shaft was engulfed. His intestines trembled with pleasure, even actively sucking on the man’s penis.

“Potato pancakes are certainly not Xu Ge’s favorite,” Yan Qi tightened his hold around the person in his arms.

Now, the two were stacked on top of each other, Cheng Xu’s arms propped at the edge of the bed, his buttocks raised high to meet Yan Qi’s thrusts. His slender white legs trembled, and fluids from their union dripped onto the floor, combining with the “smacking” sounds of their bodies to form a lascivious symphony.

Sensing Cheng Xu’s body equally desiring him made Yan Qi incredibly joyful and somewhat proud. He nibbled on Cheng Xu’s earlobe while saying, “Now, Xu Ge only likes eating my big meat sausage, right?”

Cheng Xu didn’t respond, unable to articulate any objection. Just by looking at his erection, which remained erect without touch, it was clear that Yan Qi’s words were no lie. He truly enjoyed the thick, hot presence inside him, a pleasure he never experienced with women before. It was too comfortable.

Moreover, Yan Qi’s sexual techniques were specifically enhanced for him. He had mastered the motions, the angles, and the thrusting force that made Cheng Xu feel even more exhilarated. Thus, Cheng Xu couldn’t resist this pleasure.

He trembled with pleasure, his toes curling, his buttocks instinctively shaking to meet the thrusts, his penis so hard that fluids flowed down the entire shaft. Although it was a cold place, his body felt intensely hot, sweating profusely.

Yan Qi pressed closer, his hard chest against Cheng Xu’s back, his hips thrusting more vigorously, his penis plunging deep, pulling out shallowly, and deliberately grinding against his sensitive spots.

Their lovemaking session lasted almost an hour before ending with Yan Qi ejaculating, his semen thick and abundant, enough to slightly bulge Cheng Xu’s abdomen. Cheng Xu himself ejaculated seven or eight times, his body feeling as if all energy had been drained, leaving him limp in bed, passively held in the man’s embrace.

A man’s temper usually improved after climax, and since the person in his arms wasn’t struggling, Yan Qi felt momentarily quite happy. He touched Cheng Xu’s stomach, smirking a bit proudly, “Xu Ge, I really made your belly swell.” Then he said, “If only you were a ‘New Female’, then you could carry my child, and you wouldn’t be able to leave me.”

Cheng Xu closed his eyes, as usual, throwing cold water on his sentiments, “If I were a ‘New Female’, given our age difference, I would have already had children with someone else.”

Yan Qi’s eyes nearly bulged out in anger, his teeth gritted, “Xu Ge, are you just trying to anger me?”

“I’m merely stating facts.”

Yan Qi knew that if he were truly a “New Female”, it might indeed turn out that way. Holding him tightly, he dominantly said, “Even if you had children for someone else, I would snatch you away to have mine, a whole litter!” Seemingly infuriated, he began another round of lovemaking, this time leaving marks on Cheng Xu’s body, nearly rendering him unable to leave the bed, before finally ceasing reluctantly.

On the third day, the little horse was able to stand up, though its hoof was still bent. Seeing Yan Qi come over, it happily rubbed its cheek against his. Yan Qi petted its fur and after administering an injection and feeding it medicine, he pulled a bright red apple from his pocket, breaking it in half and offering it to the little horse.

Cheng Xu and Ma Liu both stared in surprise, Ma Liu’s pupils dilating as he couldn’t help but swallow. “Where did you get this?” he asked incredulously.

Yan Qi replied, “Just got it from the spaceship.” The little horse, having never tasted it, seemed unsure where to start, so Yan Qi broke off an even smaller piece and stuffed it into its mouth. The horse tentatively chewed a few times, likely savoring the fresh sweetness, and then joyously neighed, quickly chewing the rest.

After feeding half the apple, Yan Qi noticed the crowd around them staring—not at him, but at the apple in his hand. Sitting nearby, an elder chieftain asked, “Guest, what is this?”

The Planet Geothermal was too cold for many fruits to grow, and the region of the Xi Er tribe was even colder, requiring extremely cold-resistant trees to survive there. Apples were something they probably had never seen in their lifetimes, let alone eaten. Now seeing this beautiful edible thing being devoured so happily by the little horse, they were naturally curious about how it tasted.

“Apple, it’s very sweet,” Yan Qi smiled, then suddenly suggested, “Want to try it? Let’s sign an agreement then.”

The cargo from the spaceship, packed into the center of the Xi Er tribe, wasn’t large, but Yan Qi had filled it to the brim, so it still looked plentiful. He had brought a variety of items: precious medicines known to adults, clothing and household goods that women would prioritize, and snacks and fruits that children would covet. He had brought goods that could wholly capture the hearts of the locals.

There was no crowding or scrambling, despite the natives’ eager desire for these foreign goods, as they waited for the chieftain’s decision. Soon enough, the chieftain agreed, “I am willing to sign an agreement with you.”

A friendly deal was struck, and the Xi Er tribe would provide a hundred strong men and fifty women to build an ice city for them. Excited, Ma Liu even assured, “If you have children at home that are hard to care for, you can bring them along too, we have accommodations.”

After the agreement was reached, the Xi Er tribe held a banquet, with everyone attending.

As the wide land lit up with bonfires, the natives began their joyous dances, the chieftain brought out homemade wine to serve the guests, and children enjoyed sweet candies. Everyone fell into a frenzy of celebration, with even Yan Qi laughing more openly than usual.

What they didn’t know was that, nine hours later, disaster would strike.
