Luo Futu’s body was really good and strange. Within a few days after the injury, there were no visible marks. When that head Lurian scratched his shoulder, it left bloody flesh, and some places also were deep enough that the bone was showing. However, there wasn’t even a scar left now.

Zhou Yan pillowed on Luo Futu’s arm, and gently stroked his smooth shoulder with his palm. He felt that it was amazing. As he touched his body, his arms wrapped around Zhou Yan as he pulled him to his chest. Luo Futu lowered his head so he could see the side of Zhou Yan’s neck that would provide him a comfortable position while lying.

Zhou Yan’s neck was very sensitive. He was lying on his back, and exhaling his breath on his body before he felt uncomfortable. However, Zhou Yan also did not push him away. He expressionlessly unclenched his jaw, reached out, and wrapped his arms around Luo Futu’s waist, “Is it interesting to lie together like this?”

“It’s more interesting than your cold face.” Luo Futu said as he rubbed against him, and his face buried in his body seemed very comfortable.

Zhou Yan did not make a sound, and his expression was somewhat helpless. Luo Futu suddenly raised his head as he stared at Zhou Yan’s face. Before the latter could say anything, he suddenly went over and kissed him on the lips. When he did not refuse, he then kissed him lingeringly. He finally released him after a long time, and then pulled Zhou Yan into his arms. The latter lowered his head against Luo Futu’s chest, and for a while, both of them did not speak, not knowing what the other was thinking.

However, this quiet warmth was short-lived as Zhou Yan suddenly said, “We need to talk about the agreement again.”

“….”

Luo Futu paused and looked down at him – this guy…. As an omega, he was too uncomfortable. No, it wasn’t as an omega that he was uncomfortable, but rather too straightforward as a person. Even if there really was something else that he wanted to do, his expression would be a little more euphemistic and roundabout as an initial courtesy, so it was not any easier to achieve their purpose? How could they talk about any agreement….

Luo Futu was surrounded by such people that were also good to their own. They deliberately tried to comply with his wishes, but were trying to get something for themselves in the end. He first became aware of this when he was five years old, when he had a nanny that he especially liked. This nanny played with him, bought him good food, and took him out secretly to do what his mother did not want him to do. Later, she had Luo Futu say in front of his mother that the other nanny was not serious about her work, and she taught him this more than once.

Luo Futu’s mother soon saw through the nanny’s tricks, and Luo Futu then realized that the nanny was only using the young master “along the way” to get rid of her rival.

She didn’t feel that she was wrong until the day she was kicked out, but Luo Futu learned from that day on that the world was not trustworthy. Later, such things happened, and the people of this world were constantly using one example after another to prove to themselves that humans were not trustworthy. He hated people who were nice to him for no reason. Behind this kindness and kind faces, there was often a hideous dirty heart.

Compared with them, Zhou Yan seemed to be an alien, and he never started with this –

“It is to our mutual benefit to clarify the responsibilities and obligations of both sides.”

Luo Futu sighed deeply and sat up from the bed – but what was even stranger was actually himself. He clearly did not like people beating around the bush with him, but when it came to Zhou Yan, he wished he could be more euphemistic….

“Okay, we’ll do as you say.”

Zhou Yan pulled the pillow upwards and leaned on the bed to look at him, “It turns out that the boundary you made with the spell is not useful for controlling pheromones. Not only was it seen by Mu Lian at a glance, but even Gabriel, a half-wit who had not properly studied spells, could also see it.”

He also almost said that he was an omega in front of everyone.

Luo Futu felt misunderstood, so he explained, “Not being able to control pheromones is not useful, but this boundary is easy to detect for any mystic. Because only omegas need to conceal their pheromones, so, although this boundary can hide the smell, it will also become a label.”

This was not difficult to understand, just like if a person was injured, they would put a band-aid on the wound. As long as someone else saw the band-aid, everyone would think that there was a wound in this spot.

Yet that was not what Zhou Yan was worried about.

“Mentioning this matter is not to blame you, but to find a solution as soon as possible to avoid the subsequent trouble that may arise. If the news leaks out, do you understand what the consequences will be?”

The alpha of this era would not accept the leadership of an omega, and even betas were ingrained with the belief that omegas did not have leadership skills. Omega were only subordinate to accompany an alpha. In fact, in a beta’s opinion, no beta was fit to be a leader. That’s why after Zhou Yan came here, there were people like Sun Tian who opposed him. If his gender was exposed in this situation, then it would become difficult to move forward afterwards. Of course, he also thought of the worst case scenario where he might even be attacked by some malicious pheromone unleashed by the alpha when he moved around this area later.

— Even the alpha of this world did not think that releasing pheromones toward an omega was bad behavior. They thought it was normal, even if it was not with good intentions, it was just prank-level behavior.

Luo Futu obviously also thought of these points. He slightly tilted his head, long hair sliding from his shoulder, “You have me, you don’t worry about anything.”

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, “I need to get a clear commitment.”

He didn’t want to bet on Luo Futu’s character, and he clearly didn’t have such a thing.

Luo Futu smiled and came closer to him, “Okay, you say, what do you need me to do?”

Zhou Yan looked at him and said seriously, “Protect me.”

Luo Futu licked his lips unconsciously. He suddenly came up and seemed to want to kiss Zhou Yan, but the latter raised his hand and gently blocked him. Luo Futu then kissed him on the palm of his hand.

“I’m talking about serious things….”

Luo Futu took Zhou Yan’s hand and pulled him into his arms forcefully. He pinned him down, and he gasped in his ear, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”

However, it was too sexy to say such things with such an expression, and Zhou Yan couldn’t stand it. Was he really not seducing him?

Zhou Yan helplessly pushed Luo Futu’s face and looked up at him, “Your titillation point is too low…. You are the High Priest, this is not cool at all.”

Luo Futu opened his mouth and bit his earlobe, grumbling, “You say it and I’ll try to see if I can stand it.”

Zhou Yan then said, “Let me tell you something, my inhibitors and blockers were broken during the last time when two mystics attacked my house, now I am no different from a normal omega. So you have to protect me from the pheromones of other alphas until I make new inhibitors.”

Luo Futu felt surprised, but in his heart, he was happy as these words of Zhou Yan’s made Luo Futu feel that he was special. It was his delivery of trust.

“Of course, of course I will protect you, even if you don’t say so, I won’t let others come half a step closer to you.”

Zhou Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and the emotions in his eyes were very calm, “More than that.”

Zhou Yan finished pushing Luo Futu to sit up, and he stared into his eyes, “It’s not forbidding others to come half a step closer to me, but alphas, meaning you as well, can not do this to me.”

“I am also the person you want to prevent?”

Zhou Yan gave him a cold look, “Of course, I’m not giving you privileges, but I’m negotiating with you.”

“….”

Zhou Yan saw that he didn’t say anything and came closer, “I want you to promise that you can’t blackmail me with this matter, let alone make me do something I don’t want to do, otherwise, we will break up immediately.”

When he said this, his eyes slowly moved down from Luo Futu’s eyes and then moved back up. It was hard to tell if he was examining him or testing him.

Luo Futu realized at this point that he had thought too well, and that this was a deadly handle for the omega, a handle that Zhou Yan had put in his own hands. At the same time, he had put a knife to his throat. He was really testing himself, testing his determination…. No, it’s not a test, it’s torture, putting a piece of shortcake in front of a starving man and telling him that he can’t eat it.

Luo Futu exclaimed, “It’s too hard.”

“So can you do it or not?”

Luo Futu’s expression was very affectionate, “I can.”

He was willing to be an evil dragon guarding the treasure, as long as he was there, no one could steal even a single gold coin.

Zhou Yan gave him a look, “I hope you can do what you say.”

“You don’t believe me?” Luo Futu then came up and opened his arms to hug Zhou Yan tightly, “I swear by my soul that I will guard you like a god.”

Zhou Yan didn’t know what Luo Futu’s meaning was when he said this, but he noticed that as he spoke, Luo Futu’s voice became somewhat pained. He subconsciously looked at him, only to see a transparent soap bubble-like ball of light slowly rising from above his head, and Zhou Yan looked at it in surprise, “What is this?”

“It’s my oath.” Luo Futu opened his hand to catch the bright soap bubble with a mild tone, “Just like you being bound by the McMahon Treaty. Mystics are also bound by oath where I swear by my soul, if I break the oath, my soul will never return.”

Zhou Yan didn’t know what to say for a moment – perhaps because Luo Futu’s expression was too flat, or perhaps because he said it so easily, Zhou Yan couldn’t believe it was true at all. He was silent for a while and asked, “Why? You just needed to promise me.”

Luo Futu crushed the point of light in his hand and laughed, “Just on a whim.”

Since Zhou Yan believed in the protocol more than a person, he was willing to cooperate. He even told himself that he had run out of inhibitors, and did not leave any way out, maybe Luo Futu was willing to give him some more security.

Zhou Yan naturally did not believe his words, and he did not feel that an oath that would make the soul unrecoverable was just a “whim”. It would be false to say that he was not moved, but Zhou Yan had never encountered such a situation before. He did not know how to deal with it. Both sides at the negotiation table should be more concerned about their own interests than… this.

He was silent for a long time and whispered, “Thank you.”

Luo Futu extended his hand towards Zhou Yan, “No need to thank me, my god.”

“…. What the hell are you talking about?” Zhou Yan did not shake hands with him and somewhat uncomfortably pushed his palm away. He then lay down with his back to Luo Futu. He couldn’t stand this guy. Luo Futu seemed to know he couldn’t listen to this kind of meat talk, but he said it every chance he got. It was annoying.

Luo Futu came up from behind and gave Zhou Yan a kiss on his butterfly bone. Zhou Yan subconsciously shrank his shoulders, and Luo Futu’s weird laugh came from behind his neck, “You’re not going to sleep.”

Zhou Yan was puzzled and tilted his head, “It’s almost dawn, are we not going to sleep?”

Luo Futu said discontentedly, “It’s almost dawn, so don’t sleep.”

The two of them were so close. Zhou Yan could naturally feel the change in his body, and suddenly stiffened his body to hide forward, “Hey….”

“I promise you that I will protect you, respect you, and not threaten you…. I will serve you like a god.” Luo Futu said while holding Zhou Yan’s waist and stroking up. His breath gently hit the skin on the back of Zhou Yan’s neck, “But God is not that good, the reason why people worship God is because they expect it to bring them benefits, and if God cannot satisfy human desires, it will be reversed.”

Zhou Yan felt that something was wrong as he listened, and he felt a wheel run hard over his face. Zhou Yan turned his head violently, and Luo Futu reacted quickly. He got up directly on top of him. Luo Futu grabbed Zhou Yan’s wrist and pressed it above his head before he straightened up and looked down on him from above. His long hair fell down and scattered over Zhou Yan’s face with his teeth and claws.

This look was not at all like a believer, but rather like a devil who chooses people to eat. What type of believer would press the god below?

Zhou Yan asked incredulously, “You just took a vow…. Your vows are not just words, right?”

Luo Futu hooked his lips, “Of course not, and you see, I am not doomed, which means I have not broken my oath, and this act of extracting a small reward is approved.”

Luo Futu claimed to be the messenger of God, but was also the first person on the Zedoary Continent to commit someone for blasphemy. He knows all the subtle rules between believers and gods, using the name of God to deceive everyone. How could a person who truly believed in God become a devil that everyone talked about? He whispered to himself, “I am the only one who can defile the gods…. Lord God, you have to satisfy me, otherwise, how can I be motivated to do something?”

Zhou Yan’s breathing was disordered by his rhythm, and he didn’t know how to say ‘no’ for a while. Just now, just now…. Just finished?

“I’m sorry, your match is too greedy.”

“….”

Zhou Yan was organizing his words to scold him when Luo Futu suddenly lowered his head and kissed him on his forehead, “One last time, I promise.”

“I’m tired, I don’t want to move.”

Luo Futu thought it was alright, “It’s okay, I’ll do the moving.”

“….” Fuck. Zhou Yan was too late in speaking up, and he was already heavily kissed by Luo Futu. He looked at him with wide eyes, and his white body was covered by his full head of long hair, as if he was in sludge. He shouldn’t have made a deal with the devil.
