Yun Xunlan glanced at the light brain and confirmed that it was indeed a message from Jian Wenxi. As the heir of the Jian family, Jian Wenxi faced numerous assassination attempts daily, so it was no surprise that his uncle, Jian Chexiao, could locate him at any time.

Now, Jian Wenxi was telling Yun Xunlan that he had arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall and asked Yun Xunlan to come out and meet him. Thus, Yun Xunlan had no choice but to walk towards the hall door with Jian Chexiao.

As he moved, the nearby alpha guards had to follow suit. Yu Chen picked up a tray, placed a few glasses of champagne on it, and pretended to be a waiter, closely trailing behind Yun Xunlan. He watched as the prince stepped out of a black interstellar vehicle, escorting a beautiful omega with black hair and snow-white skin.

This omega was exactly the height that Fu Yanxi and Gui Yan dreamed of—around 175 cm, with a small face, red lips, and white teeth. His features were indeed very similar to Jian Chexiao’s, but leaned more towards a delicate and soft beauty. As soon as he got out of the car, he clung to Yun Xunlan’s side like sticky rice, not leaving even a step of distance.

Jian Chexiao, on the other hand, got into another car and waved at Yun Xunlan and Jian Wenxi from inside: “Lanlan, happy birthday! Little Xi, have fun with Lanlan. Uncle has something to attend to, bye-bye.”

Yun Xunlan didn’t respond, while Jian Wenxi obediently waved back: “Third Uncle, bye-bye.”

As soon as Jian Chexiao left, Jian Wenxi immediately tugged at the corner of Yun Xunlan’s sleeve with his gloved hand, his dark eyes sparkling like a puppy as he asked eagerly, “Yun Xunlan, where’s Yu Chen?”

“Right behind me.” Yun Xunlan slightly lowered his head in response to Jian Wenxi’s tug, speaking softly, “The alpha holding the champagne tray at six o’clock, that’s him.”

Yun Xunlan’s directions were spot on. Jian Wenxi turned his head and quickly found Yu Chen’s position.

Yu Chen’s appearance matched his icy blue eyes—stoic and indifferent. When he pressed his lips together, they would slightly droop, exuding a kind of world-weary disdain, contrasting sharply with his often volatile temperament. Yet, he still had an aura that made people hesitant to approach, causing them to overlook his otherwise impeccable handsome face.

However, after staring at Yu Chen for a few seconds, Jian Wenxi didn’t find his expression overly cold, nor did he think that the indifference concealed a perfect face. Instead, he lowered his eyelashes and said dejectedly, “Ah… he only has a pair of eyes and a mouth. I thought there was something special.”

Yun Xunlan chuckled, “He is indeed very special.”

Jian Wenxi, unable to see it, furrowed his brows in curiosity, “What’s so special about him?”

—He’s exceptionally good at cursing, and can help me complete the daily survival tasks assigned by the system just by speaking.

But that couldn’t be said out loud. Even if he did, Jian Wenxi probably wouldn’t understand. So, Yun Xunlan thought for a moment and rephrased it in a way Jian Wenxi could grasp: “His mouth is particularly skilled.”

Jian Wenxi pondered, “Hmm…”

There are many things a mouth can do, and this answer was too broad. Saying it was like saying nothing at all. Who could guess how Yu Chen’s mouth was particularly skilled?

Jian Wenxi then asked Yun Xunlan, “Can you describe how you felt when you said his mouth was particularly skilled?”

Yun Xunlan summarized his first experience seeing Yu Chen during a live interview and his feelings upon seeing him again: “The first time, my body felt a bit hot, and my heart rate was unsteady. Overall, it was uncomfortable, but his presence just happened to meet my needs, so that discomfort was negligible. After seeing him multiple times, I got used to it, and it didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore.”

After hearing this, Jian Wenxi thought: Ah, I’m very familiar with the first part of Yun Xunlan’s feelings… The second part, while unfamiliar, I can still understand.

He straightened his small face and earnestly asked Yun Xunlan to confirm the first part of his feelings: “So, he can make you feel like I do when I enter my heat period?”

Yun Xunlan had taken a physiology and hygiene class in this world and knew that when an omega entered their heat period, their body temperature would rise, heart rate would quicken, and they would crave an alpha’s touch, comfort, pheromones, and marking.

Although he didn’t have those latter symptoms, the increase in body temperature and heart rate was certified by his light brain wristband, so he nodded and said, “Not entirely, but at least half of it.”

Jian Wenxi continued to probe about Yun Xunlan’s feelings regarding the second part: “Does he only use his mouth every time?”

Yun Xunlan nodded, “Only his mouth.”

Jian Wenxi frowned, “Every time?”

Yun Xunlan replied, “Every time.”

They were both researchers, and their choice of words was always cautious. They would never say anything that wasn’t true. Since Yun Xunlan had made it this clear, Jian Wenxi understood. Thus, he was both shocked and impressed: “So Yu Chen is indeed quite impressive… He can satisfy your needs every time just with his mouth.”

“Although I still can’t understand humanity’s obsession with sexual behavior, if it’s you—”

Jian Wenxi wasn’t shy. He shook his head and then changed the subject, looking up at Yun Xunlan with a sincere expression: “My dear friend, even if I don’t understand, I wish you happiness.”

“Happy birthday, Yun Xunlan. May your needs always be met by Yu Chen.” Jian Wenxi paused for a moment and then added, “Not just from his mouth.”

When Yun Xunlan heard Jian Wenxi link the topic to “sexual behavior,” he suddenly felt that their conversation was a bit off and wondered if Jian Wenxi had misunderstood something.

He specifically explained to Jian Wenxi: “Wenxi, I haven’t had sexual relations with Yu Chen. You didn’t misunderstand anything, right?”

Jian Wenxi nodded, “Yeah, you haven’t. I know.”

—Only using his mouth, you’re engaging in borderline sexual behavior.

But Yun Xunlan thought Jian Wenxi truly didn’t have any misunderstandings about his relationship with Yu Chen, so he felt relieved and politely thanked Jian Wenxi: “Wenxi, thank you for your blessing, but if that’s the case, Yu Chen might not be able to meet my needs. It would be hard for him; I just need him to use his mouth.”

That’s right, Yu Chen doesn’t have to curse; he can type online too.

However, he would need to type 10,000 messages to help him complete the daily survival task quota. Who could curse online 10,000 times every day? Yu Chen probably couldn’t either, right?

Yet, when Jian Wenxi heard Yun Xunlan say this, he was puzzled: Yu Chen is a 2S alpha; wouldn’t it be hard for him if he didn’t use his mouth? Is his body that weak?

Before Jian Wenxi could ask about Yu Chen’s condition, Yun Xunlan brought up something he had been curious about since he saw Yu Chen’s new update that morning: “Wenxi, can I ask you a question?”

Jian Wenxi replied, “Sure.”

Yun Xunlan gave a hypothetical example: “Imagine you have a job right now, with good benefits, and a harmonious relationship with your colleagues, superiors, and boss. But this job requires you to read your employment oath in front of your boss, superiors, and all your colleagues every morning. What would you think? Oh, and one more thing to note, your oath is completely out of sync with your colleagues’ oaths, possibly…”

“Stop, you don’t need to say any more. I can tell you the answer just from what you’ve said so far—”

Jian Wenxi gently raised his hand to interrupt Yun Xunlan, stating firmly: “—I would want to quit.”

Yun Xunlan shook his head, “You can’t quit.”

Jian Wenxi clenched his fist, his expression even more resolute: “Then I would hire someone to secretly take down this boss.”

Yun Xunlan: “…”

“Oh, sorry, I forgot you’re a prince.” Jian Wenxi scratched his head, “I didn’t mean to imply anything against imperial law; I was just responding to your hypothetical situation.”

Yun Xunlan sighed dejectedly: “So, working in such an environment would make you unhappy, right?”

“Unhappy? More than that! I would scream and crawl in a dark, twisted manner.” Jian Wenxi imagined that scene and couldn’t help but shiver, “It’s terrifying! I’d rather starve to death under a bridge than accept that job. After I die, my resentment would probably turn me into a vengeful spirit, seeking revenge on the boss.”

Yun Xunlan: “……….”

Yun Xunlan recalled Yu Chen’s cold, world-weary face and thought about how he had upgraded from “working like a dog” to the unrestricted “doing it all over the world” declaration in just a few days. He felt that Yu Chen was already quite dark and twisted; now he just needed to scream and crawl, and his mood was heavy.

He said to the system: “Xiao Ju, did you hear that? If this continues, Yu Chen will come after us after he dies.”

The system, however, was dismissive: “You’re a dignified immortal, and I’m an invincible recluse. Why would I fear such a petty ghost?”

Yun Xunlan reminded it: “But we don’t have any spiritual power right now.”

The system: “…”

Yun Xunlan further reminded the system: “He’s not human now, and he can still do it.”

“Why don’t you just go sleep with Yu Chen? He’s not as introverted as Jian Wenxi.” The system felt a headache coming on, “You should find a way to marry him, and let Yu Chen take that line as your romantic wedding vow. That way, he only needs to repeat the vow to you every day, and he won’t scream and crawl in a dark, twisted manner.”

Yun Xunlan reminded the system for the third time: “He said he’s not into male-male relationships.”

The system probed: “What are you afraid of? This world has six genders; why don’t you go…”

Yun Xunlan smiled.

The system changed its tune: “Go and become sworn brothers with him!”

Yun Xunlan pondered: “That plan seems feasible, but…”

“It will definitely work; there’s no but about it.” The system rephrased its earlier suggestion, “You should find a way to become sworn brothers, and let Yu Chen take that line as your vow during the swearing-in ceremony. That way, he only needs to repeat the brotherly vow to you every day, and he won’t scream and crawl in a dark, twisted manner.”

Yun Xunlan: “I still feel it’s not quite right.”

“It’s not quite right.” The system agreed, “But you also have to think, when your relationship is good enough to become sworn brothers, he will definitely be blinded by friendship. This is called ‘brother brain.’”

Yun Xunlan asked: “Similar to ‘love brain’?”

The system replied confidently: “Exactly. If you don’t believe me, ask Jian Wenxi.”

Yun Xunlan actually went to ask: “Wenxi, what if the boss of this job is me? I have a compelling reason that requires you to do this job to help me.”
