Seeing the same golden hair in the servant’s hand, Shijing Xian felt a wave of speechlessness in his heart. 

Is this scumbag out of his mind because he hasn’t taken his medicine recently? 

“Marshal, this is…?” 

Shijing Xian had to put on a confused expression, after all, Ji Xuanran still didn’t know about Lan Luohai. 

Yuan Xiao didn’t explain: “Hurry up.” 

His words carried a lot of weight at home, and as soon as he said that, the two servants stepped forward to help Shijing Xian put on the golden wig. 

As they got closer, Shijing Xian noticed that besides the golden hair, the servant was also holding a pair of crystal pupils, which he could guess were probably blue. 

At first, Shijing Xian didn’t plan to refuse wearing the golden hair, after all, even though it had been more than half a month since he left, Ji Xuanran had never been able to show a strong stance in front of Yuan Xiao. 

But the crystal pupils were different. Ji Xuanran had poor eyesight and usually needed medication to relieve the strain after reading for a long time. This kind of thing that directly touches the eyeball was nothing but harmful to him. 

“Marshal, my eyes have been uncomfortable lately, and wearing crystal pupils is quite troublesome,” Shijing Xian asked, “Can we change this to glasses?” 

Yuan Xiao glanced at him: “No.” 

Shijing Xian frowned secretly. 

Yuan Xiao said, “He doesn’t wear glasses.” 

Shijing Xian: “…” 

He touched the storage ring on his hand, starting to feel that his plan might be taking too long to work. He might as well pick some potions to see which one could kill someone the fastest. 

Under Yuan Xiao’s orders, the servants ultimately helped Ji Xuanran put on the crystal pupils. 

After the dressing was complete, the onlookers stepped back, leaving only a slender young man with golden hair and blue eyes standing there. Yuan Xiao squinted and examined him, a hint of satisfaction gradually appearing in his dark eyes. 

The sunlight gathered on the long, soft golden hair, making the young man shine. Two strands of hair fell down, softening his face into a more hazy resemblance. Perfect lines outlined his exquisite and handsome features, a hint of rosy color blooming on his tightly pressed thin lips, adding to his allure. 

The earlier rough action of putting on the crystal pupils had left the young man’s eyes slightly red, and the shimmering blue in his eyes was filled with tears that seemed like they might fall, making him even more pitiful and stirring up some fiery thoughts. 

Yuan Xiao’s breathing gradually became heavier. 

He raised a hand, and the servants immediately obediently left the room, leaving only the two of them facing each other. 

The young man seemed still unaccustomed to this outfit, his expression filled with confusion. When he saw Yuan Xiao, he instinctively revealed an undeniable affectionate gaze. This expression, while soft and cute, also gradually made him stand out from another overlapping shadow. 

Yuan Xiao would never allow such a thing to happen. As the other party opened his mouth to speak, he directly reached out and forcefully covered Ji Xuanran’s mouth. 

“Shh.” His lowered voice sounded even gloomier, “Shut up.” 

“Don’t talk, don’t smile, keep a straight face, yes…” 

His dark, cold voice slithered like a snake, chillingly brushing against the young man’s back. 

“Only then do you look like him.” 

The pressure from the ability user was already very obvious, not to mention someone like Yuan Xiao who had long been in a high position. Under the heavy sense of oppression, the young man was forced to retreat step by step, ultimately being cornered against the wall. 

Behind him was the cold crystal wall, and in front of him was the watchful eighth-level ability user. The young man was forced to tilt his head back, exposing his pale and fragile long neck. 

A low, oppressive, and indescribable aura gradually spread around, the thick air felt almost tangible, wrapping around him like a dense spider web, making one feel a near suffocating illusion. 

It was him, no doubt… it was him… 

The heavy breaths hitting the young man’s clear and handsome face grew increasingly intense, and Yuan Xiao stared at the person in his arms, the blood flowing in his body boiling. 

He hadn’t felt this way in a long time. Ability users were powerful and had pressure on their side; as long as they didn’t overextend their abilities, their defenses wouldn’t have any flaws. The only thing was, when their desires surged, their defenses would drop to an extremely low level, and almost all their energy would be fully invested, making it a very long time. 

Yuan Xiao was naturally cautious and suspicious, and he never exposed his weaknesses in front of others. Except for a few times when he coaxed Ji Xuanran during their first year of marriage, he had hardly touched him since. 

Compared to ordinary people, ability users had particularly intense desires, and once they arose, they could easily put immense pressure on the receiving party. Especially between the same sex, it was even more difficult. Yuan Xiao used the excuse of being concerned about Ji Xuanran’s health, not only did he not expose his true intentions, but he also gained Ji Xuanran’s full joy and gratitude in return. 

But now, looking at the beautiful young man with golden hair and blue eyes in his arms, Yuan Xiao felt a long-lost impulse rising. The crimson hue gradually surfaced in his dark eyes, and the unbearable desire surged and clamored, almost instantly breaking through all restraints. 

Sweet, trembling pain shot from his tailbone straight to his brain, and Yuan Xiao finally could no longer endure. He grasped the young man’s slender, flexible waist and lowered his head, biting down heavily on the other’s shoulder through the luxurious fabric. 

“Hiss…” 

Shijing Xian gasped sharply. The pain from his shoulder and side almost made him lose his grip. 

Fortunately, the seeds he had just pulled from the storage ring had successfully drilled into Yuan Xiao’s tailbone. The carefully chosen timing also allowed the other party, who was immersed in his fantasies, to remain completely unaware. 

He hadn’t initially intended to use this thing; even if he needed to defend, absorbing a little energy from the outside would weaken the other party’s attack. But now, facing this man who was wantonly kneading his body, Shijing Xian didn’t hesitate to directly plant double the number of seeds inside. 

If it weren’t for the risk of being discovered if he planted too many, he estimated he would have planted all the seeds he brought today into Yuan Xiao’s body. 

These seeds were called “Liang Sheng Hua,” a rare plant that could achieve self-separation without intelligence. The seeds of Liang Sheng Hua could be planted in two places, maintaining a close connection with each other, and the energy absorbed could be shared. 

The research on ability purification agents not only consumed crystal stones but also required the active energy within the ability user’s body. Fendelin had never disclosed this research to anyone else, so there were no other ability users to help him. 

To solve the material problem, Fendelin planted Liang Sheng Hua in the training ground of ability users, allowing the seeds to collect scattered energy and transmit it, thus conducting his research. 

After looking at the data in the insurance room, Shijing Xian went to get a batch of Liang Sheng Hua seeds. He originally wanted to modify them to make them more efficient at absorbing abilities. As a result, unexpectedly, he ended up cultivating seeds of Liang Sheng Hua that could survive in the human body. 

This cultivation result was very dangerous, and Shijing Xian immediately destroyed the experimental records, putting the unexpectedly mutated Liang Sheng Hua into his high-level storage ring. 

Then he was hurriedly called back home from the laboratory, and the seeds that hadn’t been transferred were just in time to be put to use. 

In the future, Yuan Xiao would become one of the raw materials for Shijing Xian’s drug production. 

Originally, with Yuan Xiao’s ability level and vigilance, it was almost impossible to plant living things in his body. But he was digging his own grave, inexplicably fantasizing about Ji Xuanran. How could Shijing Xian let this opportunity slip by? Taking advantage of Yuan Xiao’s drastically reduced defenses, he directly planted the seeds into the most critical part of the ability user’s spine. 

Alright, now the raw materials for the ability purification agent were also resolved. Suppressing the veins on his forehead, Shijing Xian also activated a Liang Sheng Hua from the storage ring. After all, at this moment, the ability user would mobilize all his energy, and Yuan Xiao definitely wouldn’t have the presence of mind to calmly guard against danger; he might as well take advantage of it. 

Since they were about to go to the palace, Yuan Xiao didn’t touch the parts of his body that the clothes couldn’t cover. But Shijing Xian could be sure that the skin on his waist and abdomen was probably already bruised. Yuan Xiao’s grip was completely without restraint; the more it hurt, the more excited this scumbag became. 

After inducing a dozen Liang Sheng Hua, just when Shijing Xian was about to lose control and want to fight back, a cautious knock sounded from outside the door. 

“Marshal, time is running out. When do you plan to set off?” 

Yuan Xiao didn’t answer, his heavy breaths still solidly hitting Shijing Xian’s neck. 

He looked as if he hadn’t heard anything at all. However, just as Shijing Xian was about to urge him again, Yuan Xiao directly reached out and once again covered his mouth. 

“Shut up, I don’t want to hear your voice!” 

The veins on Shijing Xian’s forehead twitched. 

He realized that Yuan Xiao had no intention of stopping at all. 

The forcibly spread legs were painfully pressed against the ground, and seeing that Yuan Xiao even intended to make him close his legs, Shijing Xian’s mouth, which was covered, curled coldly. 

“Mm…” 

A weak sound escaped from beneath the tightly held palm, like a switch being suddenly turned on, the burning heat was suddenly deprived of its fuel. Yuan Xiao’s breath instantly lost some of its strength, and the bloodshot eyes gradually lost their fire. 

Desire was doused, and everything in front of him suddenly became dull. 

Yuan Xiao frowned, feeling quite displeased. 

Ability users rarely indulged, but once they started, it was hard to stop. If interrupted midway, it could cause serious damage to themselves, and in severe cases, it could even harm the body. 

He hadn’t planned to stop, but now, Ji Xuanran’s original voice had ruined his mood. 

The urging voice from outside the door sounded again, and Yuan Xiao calmed down. He cursed softly, resentfully releasing Ji Xuanran. 

“Buzzkill!” 

The glaring golden hair was extremely annoying, and Yuan Xiao yanked off the long hair, reaching out to grab the soft black hair at the back of Ji Xuanran’s head. 

The young man was forced to tilt his head back, presenting a posture of being at his mercy. 

Yuan Xiao sneered: “Haven’t you already become a high-level pharmacist? Upgraded, wild at heart, and what now?” 

He deliberately slowed down his voice, watching the panic appear on the other’s face, a sense of malicious pleasure growing in his heart. 

“Divine Pharmacist, look at you, you can’t even pretend to be a fake, yet you still want to escape my control?” 

Adjusting his outer clothing, Yuan Xiao let Ji Xuanran kneel on the ground against the wall. He lifted his leg and walked towards the door, coldly throwing out a line. 

“Get up, come with me to the palace. We’ll settle the matters of the past half month when we get back!” 

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out. 

Inside the room, only a solitary figure remained. 

In the silence, a bright red double-petal flower quietly peeked out from the storage ring. Soon, it was surrounded by its crowded kind, blooming into a patch, the full petals opening passionately, and the abundant energy radiating from the flower’s core. 

The few Liang Sheng Hua extending behind Shijing Xian’s head even rubbed against the back of his head, using their energy to alleviate the pain caused by the earlier tugging. 

Shijing Xian glanced at the Liang Sheng Hua blooming all around him. These flourishing flowers were precisely stimulated by the large amount of energy he had just absorbed from Yuan Xiao. 

With the massive energy drained from his body, Yuan Xiao would be unable to continue and suddenly lost interest. 

Shijing Xian raised his hand to touch the bright red flower that was happily rubbing against his fingers. With so many Liang Sheng Hua that the storage ring was almost full, this unexpected harvest was enough for him to research the perfect product of the ability purification agent. 

However, having so much energy suddenly drained… 

Outside the room, a servant’s scream suddenly rang out: “Marshal!” 

“Someone come quickly! The Marshal has fainted!”
