When Yue Lin rushed to the lab, it was already a mess inside, even mixed with some outsiders, so it was hard to tell friend from foe.
Yet right in the middle of that chaos, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, his heart jolting hard as a flood of complicated emotions surged up all at once.
Xun Fu?!
Why is she here?
Shen Tang was just about to take advantage of the chaos to slip into the depths of the lab, her whole heart strung tight. Just then, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed her shoulder, and yanked her into a corner.
"Ah—who?!" Shen Tang was so startled she almost struck back.
But a low voice sounded by her ear. "Shh, don’t be afraid, it’s me."
Hearing that familiar yet long-absent voice that absolutely shouldn’t appear here, Shen Tang’s heartbeat seemed to miss a beat. She turned her head to look at the silver-haired, handsome man in front of her and blurted, stunned, "Yue... Yue Lin?"
Yue Lin lowered his head to look at the female before him, shock and fluster intermingled on her face. Even his usually cool aura was a little unsteady.
He wasn’t the only one who was shocked.
He hadn’t expected to run into her here either.
What exactly is she trying to do?
Why is it that every time, she can always do something he never sees coming?
"Wait, that’s not right." Shen Tang suddenly came back to herself and touched the slightly rough mask on her face. "I clearly have a mask on. How did you recognize me?"
Yue Lin fixed his gaze on her, his dark eyes growing even deeper. "If you can leave a spiritual imprint on me, naturally I can leave an imprint on you as well."
He reached out and lightly touched behind her ear. As a trace of superpower flowed in, a small patch of silvery-white lines surfaced there, like a faint snowflake.
This was the energy imprint he had left behind, usually used to track prey or enemies; putting it on a female was a first.
Unless one’s strength far surpassed his or they possessed detection-type superpowers, it would be very hard to notice.
Shen Tang’s heart skipped, feeling a bit guilty. "You... you knew all along, huh."
"Mm, Moli told me." Yue Lin’s tone was calm. "He said, a dignified clan Young Master actually got secretly marked by a reckless female—truly a disgrace to the Moon Wolves."
"..."
Shen Tang remembered Yin Luo mentioning that Moli was Yue Lin’s friend in the Royal City.
That guy was something else. Even though he was a male, he possessed powerful spiritual power and was even a Spirit Healing Master.
But he refused to accept that.
What’s so great about that Mad Beast who could lose control at any time?
Yue Lin had been above the masses since childhood, and had never once felt he was inferior to that Mad Beast in any way.
If that male really had been Xun Fu’s Beast Husband, then no matter how jealous or unwilling Yue Ling was, he would’ve had to swallow it down with nothing to say.
But now that he knew the truth, how could he possibly be willing to hand over the female he liked to someone else just like that?
Yue Ling was never a reckless person, but that scent on Xun Fu’s body was making him so jealous he was about to lose his mind.
The veins on his forehead pulsed; he could no longer restrain his emotions. He suddenly pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to press his lips to hers.
"Xiao Fu... when you left last time, it really made me very sad..."
Boom.
Shen Tang’s mind exploded, her eyes flying wide, almost forgetting where she was.
Her face flushed hot all at once. She shoved Yue Lin away, wiped her mouth, and said in shy anger, "Young Master Yue Lin, what are you doing? If you keep this up, I’ll really get mad!"
