Chapter 40: Jealousy

At 7:30 a.m., two people were seen walking out from the back of the mountain, one in front of the other, without any difference. Zhou Yan and Luo Futu were there for some time, and most of the miners here had seen them before so they were used to the two of them always going in and out together.

So now when they saw these two walking out from the back of the mountain, they only thought that they might have gone to discuss something important. However, Luo Futu was not really calm inside, he had a feeling of frustration. He didn’t know if it was because Zhou Yan was able to get up like a normal person after sleeping with him, or if it was because he got dressed properly at 7:30 in the morning and said that he was going to the forge to watch the exoskeleton come out.

All in all, it’s frustrating, right?

Luo Futu followed behind Zhou Yan, looking him up and down. How could this guy look like a normal person? He even felt that if they were in the process of sex, if his alarm clock went off, Zhou Yan would get up and get dressed.

Zhou Yan had long felt Luo Futu staring at him, he suddenly turned around and looked at Luo Futu expressionlessly, “Do you have something to say to me?”

Luo Futu raised one eyebrow at him, “No.”

Zhou Yan looked at him for a long time and nodded thoughtfully, “Right, you should cover your eyes.” He said he reached into his pocket and fumbled around, taking half a day to pull out a crumpled black cloth that he handed over, “Here.”

Luo Futu stared at the narrow cloth, smiled wryly, and slowly said, “Didn’t you have enough fun last night?”

Zhou Yan first froze before he reacted to what he said and frowned slightly with a hint of blush appearing on his expressionless face – although not very visible, but this hint was enough. Luo Futu caught his expression, immediately went to Zhou Yan and said, “I thought you had lost your memory of last night.”

Zhou Yan was a little annoyed and turned around to walk in the direction of the forge. Luo Futu noticed that he was walking half as fast as he had just been and followed him with pleasure, “What are you doing now? Don’t you have any feelings about what happened last night?”

Luo Futu suddenly felt quite sad that he had to prove that Zhou Yan was not unresponsive by looking for these small details. The thought of this caused the high priest’s pridefulness to appear again. He was also surrounded by many omegas before… but Luo Futu never bothered to look at them. Thinking about it now, if it was Zhou Yan instead, he would feel very joyful.

…. At least don’t sleep with him and ignore him, really, he had never seen this kind of omega.

“Go find someone else.”

Luo Futu was bellyaching when he suddenly heard Zhou Yan say this. He was so shocked that he almost thought that he had accidentally said the words inside his head for him to hear. Only when he looked back did he realize that Zhou Yan was glancing back at him expressionlessly and still saying, “The kind that likes to express afterthoughts about your certain abilities, and when you meet a brilliant writer, they can even write two small essays for you when you are happy.”

Luo Futu heard that he was mocking himself, but he also believed that this man was serious about telling him to find someone else. The very thought of it made Luo Futu angry, “I’ve never seen such a misbehaving omega like you.”

What kind of little monster did he sleep with? Even if he slept until he started work on time in the morning, and even if he didn’t flirt, he was trying to get him to find someone else…. He was so mad.

Zhou Yan faintly froze – misbehaving? He really did not understand. Zhou Yan was now full of thoughts of mecha, of course he had no time to flirt with him. Even if there was nothing to be busy with, Zhou Yan would not say any such cloying words. It was not impossible to understand Luo Futu’s complaints, especially when he was in a position of power, surrounded by the kind of soft, sticky patties.

It was a thoughtless remark, but Zhou Yan heard it in his heart. Thus, the two of them went to the forge together with such a cold atmosphere, and the person in charge of the forge was an old worker with a dark face.

–He didn’t like to be called boss or leader, so it sounded like a product of capitalist society. In Zhou Yan’s opinion, even capitalism was a backward stage of society. All social systems with oppression and exploitation should be eliminated by history. 

Zhou Yan nodded slightly at the other side, and then went to check the temperature of the forge – the furnace was modified from the former forge of the mine, and Zhou Yan installed a device on it that could feel the temperature. Zhou Yan was slightly relieved when the temperature displayed on the furnace was exactly the same as the temperature he had requested before. He smiled approvingly at the old forger, “The temperature is well controlled, the furnace will be ready in a minute, there is hope for success.”

The old forger was very happy to be praised, “Of course, I will do what you asked me to do, Mr. Zhou.”

“You are the best.”

Luo Futu listened to the two of them talking back and forth about their work, and he looked like an outsider. He suddenly had a small temper, he had to leave the place, he had to let Zhou Yan know he was angry.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly said, “High Priest, come here.”

The old forger looked at Zhou Yan with some confusion, “High Priest?”

Zhou Yan skillfully lied, “His nickname is High Priest, not the high priest who was usurped by the dynasty and died.”

Luo Futu heard this and was very dissatisfied with the definite word Zhou Yan added. He wanted to say that he was not coming over, but his body lazily rubbed back against the wall, and then paced towards Zhou Yan. His tone was a bit mocking, “Here I am- Mr. Zhou, what’s the order?”

Zhou Yan ignored his grimace and smiled back at him, “Make me some liquid nitrogen for the quench.”

Luo Futu did not immediately comply, and he did not move to block the view of the old forger behind him as he stretched out a finger on Zhou Yan’s jaw and lightly hooked him while whispering, “Only high priest? Not Luo Futu? Now you can smile at me, you have two faces, and really let people both love and hate you.”

Zhou Yan subconsciously dodged his head sideways and looked at him with some reproachful meaning in his eyes. By moving his hands and feet in front of others, did he want to die? Zhou Yan slightly raised his eyebrows, “Are you physically okay? I need a few tons of liquid nitrogen…. If you can’t, you can make some first, then I’ll go to the street to recruit workers.”

Luo Futu grunted, “You’re a yong, and you want to recruit mystics to work for you?”

Zhou Yan nodded thoughtfully, “That makes sense…. Then we have to go to Gabriel and ask him if he has any mystic friends.”

What? If he was there, he had to go to someone else for help? He already looked at that Gabriel with displeasure, and he actually wanted to ask him for help? He wouldn’t want to develop another one as an alternative alpha, would he?

Luo Futu lifted his chin towards him, “No. I can handle it.”

“How are you going to? I don’t want you to fall down after the liquid nitrogen is made.”

Luo Futu gave Zhou Yan a reassuring pat on the head, “Wait for me.”

The old forger only listened to the two of them muttering over there, not knowing what they said. He was full of doubts, and while Zhou Yan stared at Luo Futu’s back, his eyes faintly showed concern. He would have liked to follow him out, but it was time for the metal in the furnace to come out, and he had to be here to keep an eye on it.

Forget it, leave him alone.

Luo Futu did have a helper, and she was nearby, it was Mu Lian who previously appeared and then disappeared. Although he assigned the task to her, with his understanding of Mu Lian, this woman would never be so dry to go to the left protector.

Luo Futu walked to an open place, put his index finger and thumb in his mouth, and blew hard. This was a special way for the spirit master of the Witch Spirit sect to summon his followers. This sound could not be heard by ordinary people, and only the followers could hear it. However, at this moment, Zhou Yan, who was staring intently at the forge, suddenly shrank his neck reflexively. In that instant, he heard a sharp and piercing sound, as if a red-hot wire pierced through his left ear and then through his right ear. The sharp sound made him very uncomfortable. 

The old forger saw Zhou Yan’s face suddenly turn white and asked with concern, “Mr. Zhou, are you uncomfortable?”

The ear-piercing sound disappeared after only one sound, and the long after-tone was still there but did not make him feel uncomfortable anymore. Zhou Yan covered his ears and slowly exhaled a few breaths before he shook his head, “It’s okay, I’m fine.”

The old forger nodded, “That’s good, I didn’t understand what you just said about how to take it out.”

Zhou Yan looked at the forge and said, “Let’s start the furnace.”

Zhou Yan’s voice just fell. Luo Futu also walked in from outside, and he also had a very beautiful woman who dressed very different from ordinary people – her dressing style looked a bit like Luo Futu’s black robe, but more gorgeous than his clothes and more… exposed. The woman was wearing a fiery red tulle with a black gauze smock inside. The curve of her hot body wrapped tightly, and her curly black hair oiled like silk. From the edge of the red hood outside, she looked distinctly feminine. The woman’s height was estimated to be more than 175 cm, and standing beside Luo Futu, she looked petite. However, she would have a proper imperial figure if by herself.

…. The beauty of the people appearing in piles like eye candy.

The old forger beside Zhou Yan had not seen the world and looked at the woman who had a stunning look. He even forgot to extinguish the furnace fire. Zhou Yan frowned slightly, and used a hand to pull over the handle in his hand which he pressed down fiercely. The rumbling forge stopped violently, and the sound of chains jerking inside the furnace began to ring.

Zhou Yan looked at Luo Futu and asked with his eyes – what was the situation?

“She is mystic, I got you a helper.”

Mu Lian’s expression was not too good as she had just been forcibly summoned by Luo Futu. Her head felt dizzy, and when she heard that she was called out for Zhou Yan, she was not very friendly to Zhou Yan, “Yo, you’re the one who recently charmed the High Priest, and you don’t look good.”

Zhou Yan was actually a cool type of handsome, who looked natural in front of this beautiful sister and was not as intensely eye-catching. Since she said he did not look good…. It was very wrong.

What did she say, what charmed…. Luo Futu was simply controlled by the pheromone. If he was surrounded by another omega, he would also turn around.

Luo Futu smiled and did not say anything, as a kind of acquiescence, Mu Lian was still chattering, “But you’re such a good omega, why must you disguise as a Beta? High priest also spoils you. He gave you a spell to cover your scent?”

The High Priest spoiled him and gave a spell to disguise him as a Beta, not as an omega, or even a marked omega.

Luo Futu then made a small space on his gland so his scent would not be smelled by people here. However, the same type of mystic, Mu Lian, could see the spell Luo Futu imposed.

Zhou Yan listened to her reveal his identity in front of others,and his heart was a little upset. However, Luo Futu said she was here to help, so he expressionlessly extended his hand towards Mu Lian, “Thank you for helping, my name is Zhou Yan, you can call me Mr. Zhou.”

Mu Lian did not shake hands with him, but turned her face away, “Humph.”

Luo Futu originally heard Mu Lian say “what omega, beta?” He thought Zhou Yan would be upset by those words, but he did not have time to stop her. He now noticed that she did not give face to Zhou Yan. So he reminded her, “Zhou Yan is my friend. You need to give him face.”

Mu Lian heard Luo Futu’s unhappy tone and dared not disobey him again, so she reluctantly extended her hand to shake Zhou Yan’s hand. She now regretted adding ingredients to that pot of lamb. Originally she just wanted to help the High Priest, but she did not expect him to act like an alpha with the lower half of his body. He actually slept with an omega and got angry with her.

‘I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let them sleep together!’

Luo Futu saw the two of them shake hands and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere. Both sides suddenly tacitly released their hands. Zhou Yan threw down a “prepare the liquid nitrogen,” and ignored Luo Futu. 

Mu Lian also rolled her eyes at Luo Futu while muttering, “Sex is a sword, I didn’t expect this servant’s spirit master to become such an alpha, it’s really sad.”

“…. Shut up and do what I just taught you.”

Mu Lian squatted in the corner and started making liquid nitrogen, “In order to protect the spirit master, this servant has decided to find an opportunity to assassinate him.”

Luo Futu lifted his foot and kicked Mu Lian in the back, “You’re not ready.”

Mu Lian immediately kneeled forward and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking very miserable. Zhou Yan, who had been secretly watching this scene, saw this scene and hurriedly pulled Luo Futu, “How can you hit someone?!”

Luo Futu then explained, “She wanted to… she is very thick skinned, her appearance is deceiving.”

Mu Lian immediately held the wall as she retorted, “This servant is very delicate~”

“Shut up, believe it or not, I’ll make you drink everything that you spit out.”

“….”

Luo Futu pulled Zhou Yan to the side and looked at him with a smile, “She’s an anaconda mimic and likes to cheat….”

Before Luo Futu could finish his sentence, he was shaken off by Zhou Yan, who looked at the forge with an expressionless face as he said indifferently, “You have a good eye.”

“Hmm?”

“This one is a good one. She doesn’t fight back and doesn’t scold you, she’s your type.”

Luo Futu understood that Zhou Yan was referring to him and Mu Lian, so he lost his smile, “What? She is an alpha.”

Zhou Yan turned his head sideways and stared at Luo Futu as he said word for word, “It’s not like I’ve never seen someone who is gay before, such a beautiful female alpha is a scarce resource.”

On Dense Cloud Planet, there were all kinds of relationship types.

Luo Futu said with amusement, “She really is not my type….”

Zhou Yan walked forward, shouting, “Open the furnace!”

Who wants to hear about his type?
