Living Together

 

When Lu Xingye heard these words, his eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to look at Lyss in disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe his ears, “…What?”

Lyss didn’t think much of the rather shocking words he had just said, but before he could explain, several alphas who knew the situation beside them replied angrily, “Lord Lyss’s pheromone levels are unstable and require an alpha to provide pheromones by his side. What were you thinking, kid?”

Lyss nodded.

At Lu Xingye’s words, he came to his senses, realizing that the “physiological needs” mentioned by Lyss were somewhat different from what he understood as physiological needs. A faint sense of disappointment rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it, unwilling to admit it.

After boarding the starship, Lyss only briefly answered Lu Xingye’s questions at the beginning, and then he spent the rest of the time handling official business on the terminal, not speaking again until the starship landed.

He casually draped the black and gold jacket over his shoulders, and the silver military uniform underneath was adorned with metallic decorations, shimmering brightly under the starship’s bright lights.

With nothing to do and his mind full of questions, Lu Xingye boredly watched Lyss work, pondering the various abnormalities of this omega.

But as he thought, he found no conclusion. The reason was simple—Lyss, dressed in military uniform, was simply too stunning. His handsome profile was as dazzling as an ancient mythological god, complemented by the black and gold cloak and the white military uniform, making him shine like the stars and bright as the moon.

Lu Xingye, who had been drifting in the interstellar for years, looked at Lyss and felt that this omega was completely different from him. For a moment, he felt dazed, as if the blood feuds and resentments had been cut off at this moment.

—Having spent so long in the dark side of the world, it suddenly dawned on him that there were people living in the sunlight.

Lu Xingye suddenly woke up, feeling a strange sensation in his heart. Ignoring the murderous gazes of the alphas around him, he turned his head to look at the starry sea outside the starship, his lips pressed tightly into a thin line.

It had been twelve hundred years since humanity truly entered the stars, and the technology of interstellar travel had become completely mature. It only took three hours from the Starfall Sea to the capital star of the Triss Federation.

Lyss closed the terminal and turned to Lu Xingye, asking, “Are you willing to appear in the interstellar media?”

Lu Xingye didn’t expect Lyss to be concerned about him and hesitated for a moment before replying, “Yes. Everyone who has seen me has already died, and all information about me has been… destroyed. I should have no problem if I hide my tail and ears.”

For some Therians, the characteristics of animalization represented “evolution” and were a symbol of nobility, while also facilitating identity recognition.

If they were to retract these things, they would appear no different from “purebred” humans. So most Therians would not retract their ears and tails, even if they were fully capable of doing so.

But Lu Xingye obviously didn’t care about those elusive things.

The guards who were about to protect Lyss from getting off the ship were stunned, and Vayne even wanted to say something.

“After returning, keep quiet about today’s events,” Lyss coldly interrupted them, “Prepare to disembark.”

As the starship landed, countless officials and media were already waiting there. With the appearance of the chief, everyone’s attention first focused on Lyss, and then they all looked shocked at Lu Xingye behind him.

Lyss seemed oblivious to their gaze, casually dealing with the media before turning and leading a group of people onto the ship.

The media and officials knew that Lyss disliked elaborate etiquette, and they also knew that when dealing with them, the chief would not tolerate much. But they dared not say anything more.

Even though most of the media were curious about Lu Xingye, without Lyss’s permission, these media dared not directly interview him.

Lu Xingye saw all this and thought of the descriptions of the Triss Federation he had seen in the Black Wolf Empire. For a moment, he had a new understanding of Lyss’s wrist.

After getting off the starship, all five guards who accompanied Lyss on the trip were replaced, and several new guards, along with Lyss’s secretary, escorted Lyss onto the ship.

Lyss seemed completely unaware of the council’s actions regarding his guards. He casually instructed his secretary to find Lu Xingye a residence closer to his home. A female omega named Lillia accepted and began working.

Lu Xingye said, “Please find a relatively inexpensive house.”

Lillia was taken aback, and Lyss glanced at Lu Xingye, “Your net worth is not low.”

In other words, with all the money you’ve earned in the Starfall Sea, why do you care about the rent?

“Indeed.” Lu Xingye nodded, “But I have other uses for that money, not to spend it here.”

Lu Xingye didn’t say what he was saving money for, and Lyss wisely didn’t ask further. He just instructed his subordinate, “Do as he says.”

“Yes.”

Lillia began to search for suitable housing, and Lyss took out his terminal to continue his work. However, when he opened it, a message from the doctor popped up first:

“Chief Lyss:

Hello!

The results of your routine physical examination are out.

The good news is that alpha pheromones do have a mitigating effect on your symptoms; the bad news is that your pheromone levels are still unstable. According to this examination, your pheromone secretion level has reached the level of a normal omega in heat, so if convenient, please come in for another visit soon.

You are the core of the entire Triss Federation, and for the sake of ensuring your absolute safety, I personally suggest that you find an alpha with a strong pheromone presence to stay with you temporarily before coming to the hospital (most alphas aged 18-30 meet this requirement), to alleviate your symptoms as much as possible and ensure that you are not troubled by heat before coming to the hospital.”

As usual, there was no signature.

Seeing this, Lyss said, “No need to find him a house.”

Lillia quickly stopped her work, “Alright.”

Lu Xingye was about to look out the window at the federation scenery outside the spaceship when he heard Lyss’s words and immediately turned his gaze back, looking at Lyss, “Then where will I stay?”

Lyss looked at him calmly, “My house.”

With this statement, the atmosphere in the spaceship suddenly quieted down. The newly replaced guards originally had a mysterious look on their faces, but now they were all stunned, showing expressions of disbelief one after another.

Lu Xingye was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief, “Your house?”

“The doctor advised that I need an alpha by my side at least for the next few days,” Lyss didn’t hide it, “If you stay at my house, you won’t need to find a place to stay.”

Lyss’s voice was calm, and his words were reasonable, but the officials and the media at the side were completely stunned.

An omega living together with an alpha in the same house?

This was unheard of in the history of the Triss Federation!

The officials couldn’t help but look at each other with strange expressions. Some people even looked at Lu Xingye with envy.

The alpha guards’ eyes darkened, and even Lyss’s secretary couldn’t help but show a look of disbelief.

But Lu Xingye only looked at Lyss, his expression calm and unreadable, as if he were trying to figure out something.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then Lu Xingye said, “Alright.”

Seeing this, Lyss nodded and said nothing more. He led the way off the ship with the guards and his secretary, and Lu Xingye followed quietly behind him.

The officials and the media at the scene couldn’t help but look at each other in shock when they saw this scene.

—What was going on?

The chief had always been indifferent and icy cold to everyone, but he was now inviting a man, an alpha, to live in his house?

And that man had actually agreed?

What was going on here?

No one understood what had happened, but everyone could feel that the Triss Federation was about to undergo some profound changes.

As Lu Xingye followed Lyss off the ship, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease in his heart.

What exactly had he agreed to?
