Murong Wuque held his breath, eyes closed, all senses focused on what was going on in Alvin's body. The Veyrath drew back. His heart jumped. He immediately reviewed his plans. The Veyrath must have been here when Alvin was fucking him, incubating and gathering power. It seems he would have to trick it further. The ball of light rolled around and drew back. Murong Wuque leaned down and began to kiss him, while his two fingers massaged his throat to cause vibrations similar to the throat constricting during a kiss. The familiar movement made the retreating Veyrath pause, reassured. Then it returned, giving the escaping ball of energy a hot chase. Murong Wuque continued kissing him. He already made his decision to swallow and engulf the deadly creature inside his own body. The creature sped up on seeing the ball of energy almost escaping from reaching. Soon it reached the throat. Murong Wuque engulfed the ball into his mouth, still kissing him. The Veyrath immediately detected

There was no answer. Murong Wuque's eyes remained closed. Alvin carefully carried Aurelio away and wore the bottle around Murong Wuque's neck. Murong Wuque frowned in his sleep, causing Alvin's heart to skip multiple beats. He couldn't help but notice how handsome this prince of his was. A small smile appeared on his face. As Alvin's palm reached out to touch Murong Wuque, he (Wuque) suddenly turned and reached for Aurelio. Alvin's eyes went wide with shock. Even in his subconscious, he wasn't letting anyone take the kid away. He grabbed the kid back and tucked him into his arm. The tousling and jostling woke Aurelio and his lids drifted open. But on smelling Murong Wuque's scent, he closed his eyes and promptly went back to sleep. Alvin stared, dumbfounded. When did they get so attached? “Wuque, you need to return him. Otherwise, he will absorb some of your life force.” He tried to take Aurelio again. This time, a powerful hand clasped around his wrist, stopping him from

Alvin’s jaw tightened, his eyes darkening slightly. “He went to school!” Elena suddenly blurted out. Alvin slowly looked up at her. His eyes settled on her face. She appeared slightly nervous. School? Hadn’t he received a newsletter from the university authorities stating that the semester was over and the students would be going on a short break? Had Elena forgotten that he was Oliver’s sponsor and received regular updates from his school? Why was she lying to him? Had she been deceived as well? Or could there be something deeper going on? His tongue dragged slowly against his molar as he carefully turned the possibilities over in his mind. When Murong Wuque had stripped Elena of her access to confidential documents, restricted her access to certain websites and official seals, and relieved her of some of her duties, leaving her to focus primarily on Empire Group, Alvin had thought Wuque was being excessive. He had considered it an unnecessary complication—making things mo

Murong Wuque's mind kept running in circles as he stared at the wall.He was leaving. He really was.He always knew that the spaceship which he had worked so hard on had been completed. This was a moment he had long anticipated, one he had worked harder than anyone to bring to reality. He had spent countless days and nights preparing for this very moment, enduring setbacks, solving problems, and pouring resources into the project simply because returning home had once seemed like the only thing that mattered.So why was this heaviness in his chest threatening to squash him?Why did the thought of leaving no longer fill him with the joy he had expected?His gaze remained fixed on the wall, but his thoughts had already travelled far beyond the room.The Medicine Sage Valley needed him. His disciples and juniors were waiting for him to save them. There were people back in the celestial realm who were counting on his return, and with the war looming over Tian Luo, his presence would not m

CELESTIAL REALMValley Master's PalaceYuwen Hao’s face was dark, his features twisted with barely restrained murderous intent.He stood before a window overlooking the entrance to his secret garden, his hands clasped behind his back. His eyes slowly morphed into a strange russet colour, the change reflecting the fury churning beneath his otherwise rigid composure.The past two days had been absolute chaos.Not just in the Medicine Sage Valley, but across the entire Tian Luo continent.Rumours of Yuwen Ruohan being from a demonic ancestry had spread far and near. As his father, naturally, people cast the dark light on him.Everywhere he turned, he could almost feel those suspicious gazes following him. Every decision he had made, every subtle move he had carefully concealed beneath the authority of the Valley Master, was suddenly being dragged into the light and given a sinister interpretation.Now, every subtle effort made to suppress Murong Wuque in the past suddenly became a result
