The warm sun gradually set in the west, and a group of people gathered at the village entrance, eagerly waiting. The colorful clouds on the horizon were like a vividly painted picture. In the distance, two young men walked shoulder to shoulder, each dragging three prey behind them. "It’s the Young Master! The Young Master and they have returned!" The village entrance erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Bai He and Bai Ci returned amidst the cheers of the crowd. Their fair faces were flushed red from the heat, yet there was an added touch of radiance that was quite different. For a moment, there was singing and dancing, and the bonfire was lit. The lively noise lasted for a long time, and after the extreme clamor and joy, the night sky fell into endless silence. Bai Ci and Bai He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and their cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue. Uncle Bai prepared two rooms; Ruan Li first helped the sluggish Bai He into one room, then came out to find Bai Ci, but ended up not seeing him in the yard. Ruan Li looked around the yard anxiously; Bai Ci had drunk a lot tonight, and if he went out, it would be hard to find him. Unable to find him, she had no choice but to open the door to look outside. After just a few steps out, she suddenly heard someone shout. Before Ruan Li could find the speaker, there was a swoosh in the air, and a figure suddenly fell from a tree. She widened her eyes, opening her arms to catch. In the air, a pair of snow-white wings suddenly unfolded, the feathers bright and smooth, gently swaying with the wind. Bai Ci slowly descended before her, landing right within the embrace of her outstretched arms. Ruan Li felt the breeze from the flapping wings, along with the strong scent of alcohol from Bai Ci. He looked down at her, his white eyes like stars in the night sky, bright and twinkling. "Bai Ci, you’ve had too much to drink." Ruan Li was about to retract her hands, but he grabbed them, wrapping her arms around his waist, leaving her unable to break free. "Ruan Li..." His voice, touched by alcohol, was hoarse and magnetic, quite different from his usual clear tone. Ruan Li averted her gaze slightly, "Oh, this? You don’t need to thank me." He suddenly pulled her arm, drawing her into his embrace, and Bai Ci held her tightly.

The boy’s burning body temperature was scorching. His breath grew more low and rapid, and a gentle kiss fell on her neck and then her jaw... "Don’t be afraid, my brother won’t know." The massive wings gently closed, blocking the moonlight and breaching the defenses in Ruan Li’s heart. The searing kiss was hotter than his body temperature. The wings folded into a giant cocoon, inside which breaths mingled and the temperature grew hotter. Until the wings unfolded, a feather spiraled down in the air, Bai Ci caught it and placed it at the root of Ruan Li’s hair. His crimson lips were like blooming flowers he had long desired, made even more vibrant by the night. Under the moonlight, the two embraced for a while under the tree, Ruan Li gently pushed Bai Ci and softly said, "We should go back to sleep." She took off the feather from her hair, Bai Ci saw her action, his Adam’s apple bobbed, "Are you so afraid he’ll find out?" Ruan Li handed the feather back to him, avoiding his gaze, and lowly said, "Bai Ci, let’s go back inside and sleep, keep this safe." She admitted she had momentarily lost her senses, but now that she had calmed down, she only felt it was absurdly terrifying, and even more worried about Bai He being hurt. As Ruan Li stood up to leave, Bai Ci raised his hand, tightly gripping her wrist, the force causing her pain and a startled cry. But his white eyes suddenly turned a fierce red, "You’re just going to leave ?" Ruan Li was silent for a moment, "Bai Ci, I already have five Beast Husbands." He lowered his voice and shouted, "I don’t care!" In his heart, a thought flashed for a moment; he didn’t mind being the sixth, almost blurting it out, but his rationality restrained his absurd idea. "You and me, and my brother, together. I can accept that." This was already his greatest concession. Ruan Li glanced at him, "I don’t want to; they are all very good." She resolutely pulled her wrist out of his hand, even though her wrist was already alarmingly red, Bai Ci still didn’t want to let go. Ruan Li calmed her breath and advised, "Bai Ci, perhaps you have a little liking for me, and I admit I have some feelings for you, but for my family to have one more person is a very serious matter. Not to mention, you want to break up this family." She knew he was the masked man, the wanted leader of the White Dawn Organization, and also knew he pursued monogamous unions. "Loyalty is just your nature, not a sign of loving me, Bai Ci, you don’t need to continue liking me." The clenched hand slowly released, and Ruan Li turned to return to her room. The figure under the tree kept the same posture, standing dazed for a long time. "Wen, you disappointed me a bit this time." In the white space, Ruan Ying said indifferently. "Master, I willingly accept the punishment." Wen stood outside the glass door, slightly bending down. "A punishment is indeed due, but considering the experiment subject you managed to return with, this time’s punishment..." Ruan Ying leaned back in her chair, and the handsome man beside her handed over a peeled grape, which she opened her mouth to eat, smiling as she looked at him, "What do you think the punishment should be this time?" The man smiled back, "After all, he is a robot, and Beastman methods wouldn’t work on him." Ruan Li nodded, "Indeed. In this case, let’s punish him by replacing his operating chip." She lifted her eyelids and looked towards Wen, "Once you bring Ruan Li back alive, I will upgrade your chip." "...Thank you, Master." "How is the experiment subject now?" "After the injection of recovery agent and Agent 337, their body temperature has risen to 42℃, consciousness is unclear but normal language and actions can be performed, heart rate is normal, no signs of dehydration." Ruan Ying waved her hand, "Alright, extract a portion of his genes for me, I have use for them." After obtaining permission, Wen turned and left. The man sensed Ruan Ying’s prolonged gaze on the robot, and gently asked, "Ying Ying, what’s the matter?" Ruan Ying replied, "Wen’s usage has been a bit long, I’m considering whether to update him." The man held her hand, leaning against her, "It’s up to you. Wen has been operating for twenty years. He raised Ruan Li when she was little, it would be a pity to decommission him." Ruan Ying rubbed the man’s face, lost in thought, "Before long, copy Wen’s memory system and transfer it to Ze, since he’s been running for a long time." Inside the observation room, a giant fox lay slumped in the corner. Wen routinely recorded the observation information. "Body temperature 45℃, with a continuing upward trend, loss of mobility..." The fox in the observation room seemed aware, shakily supporting itself and snarling at the man standing outside the glass, but after a few steps, it collapsed again. Wen glanced at the dried bloodstains on the glass and continued recording, "Strong resistance consciousness, certain attack capability." His eyeballs projected blue light scanning the fox’s entire body, finally adding, "Rapid weight loss." After completing the record, he turned to go to the next observation room. Unfortunately, two more have died.
