Heinrich gripped Lin Xu’s ankle and took his foot off of him. Lin Xu’s face slid into a grim, uncomprehending direction as he kicked Heinrich in the knee. Heinrich grunted at the kick and pressed his hand against his shin to control Lin Xu’s violent movements. This was actually much gentler than Lin Xu’s lapse into disoriented lust and a tail slap.
Heinrich kneeled to the side of Lin Xu’s shoulder, one hand still holding him down, the other cupping Lin Xu’s face, and spoke slowly and deliberately, “May I… Like this right now?”
“What do you think?” Lin Xu puffed up and inclined his head to bite at Heinrich’s tiger mouth, grinding the tips of his teeth back and forth, bringing up a bruised and swollen sensation of pain. Heinrich looked at him and suddenly remembered something, “Wait for me.”
Lin Xu watched dumbfounded as Heinrich rolled out of bed and blew the two rabbit-cats that were lying around the bed out of the room. When he came back, Lin Xu felt a shadow pressing down in front of him, and a sharp, rough kiss dragging him into the tide.

“You look in good spirits.” Honda Agana looked at Heinrich, who had approached the bridge’s forward console, looked him up and down, and said so.
But her words were more restrained than she thought, and Heinrich was more than in good spirits now, even if his face was still cold and calm, there was a vague glow that Honda Agana had hardly ever seen in Heinrich.
Marshal Heinrich Chu had the goddess of victory by his side, and countless honors were bestowed upon him, but even when His Majesty the Emperor himself honored him, he only looked at him with a sober gaze, like an indifferent peak, unreachable. What could make Heinrich happy?
“Mn.” Heinrich responded without offering any explanation. Honda Agana could only guess if it was because he was about to arrive at Earth.
The last time the Solar System was accidentally discovered with ancient Earth, the Abyss Fleet did not officially land or probe Earth, and the crew inevitably had some regrets.
Now that the distance between the Victoria and the azure planet was getting shorter and shorter, the outline became clearer, and the spirits of the ship’s crew were visibly excited.
Outside the bridge window was the huge tawny Jupiter, where intense storms were gathering gas on the planet’s surface, creating numerous eye-like storm holes.
Heinrich said to Arnold, who was with him, “I will land on Earth myself when we reach Earth orbit, and Lin Xu, prepare an extra suit for his isolation.”
Arnold took notes and asked, “Is Marshal going to land with the expedition? How long will he stay?”
“A separate landing… Not sure of the length of stay, but the supplies will be prepared according to the one-week specifications.”
Having said that, Heinrich fell silent again, staring quietly at the planet before him. He wasn’t sure why he felt relieved and glowing after it was over. Normally, after the release, peace ensued. But this time… It was not like any other time.

Lin Xu was alone on the bed with his pillow, everything was still uncleaned and everywhere was a mess.
When he was done, at that time Heinrich tried to carry Lin Xu to clean him as usual, but Lin Xu was so sore from him that he kicked the man straight away and drove him out.
Both of them, driven by lust, forgot one thing – water seeped out from under the scales of the fishtail, but Lin Xu himself was a beta, not genetically controlled like an omega, and naturally prepared for everything.
Even though Lin Xu didn’t find any dragon scales or see a swollen open ring, Heinrich’s talent made things difficult.
Because of the pain and excitement he had never endured before, Lin Xu was shrinking back at every turn, and in the end, Heinrich had to pin Lin Xu to the pillow by the back of his neck, like a big cat in nature that bit the back of its mate’s neck to keep it from escaping.
Heinrich didn’t want to do this – no matter how many tyrannical and nasty tactics his subconscious mind conjured up, the real action in reality seemed precious and clumsy, and he had to let Lin Xu push him up step by step to break this solid barrier.
Lin Xu buried himself in the pillow, his gripping hands stiff and white, the surface of the pillow soaked with his physical tears, sobbing with a gasp in his throat, looking pitifully innocent like a cat. His mouth whimpering and spitting out words for Heinrich to hold him tighter, for Heinrich to go faster.
Fortunately, except for the initial work, which had to be done with force, Heinrich was slow and gentle. But he was so gifted that torture and pleasure drowned his consciousness together.
His excellent S-Class alpha genes and years of intense training left Heinrich in excellent shape, with broad shoulders, a strong waist and abdomen, and not a trace of fat.
Even without the serious and regular black uniform, the muscles were clearly visible with the movements, and the loose silver hair showed the confused lust, he was still very different from the reckless beast.
Like a clearly sculpted ancient Greek sculpture, noble simplicity, quiet greatness. * But Lin Xu wanted to break it all up. It wasn’t that he didn’t like the cold, restrained look on Heinrich’s handsome face, nor did he have a preference for the rough possessiveness of an alpha controlled by physical bestiality. He just particularly liked the moment when all barriers were torn down and conflicting temperaments tangled in Heinrich’s body.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work today, and he even drove the man out because Heinrich consistently restrained his speed. But even so, Heinrich could by no means be considered bad, and one could even comment on the phrase, born to be useful.
Lin Xu was in a state of disorientation and unconsciousness for a while. Heinrich, who had been kicked out, used Lin Xu’s room to wash and change, and the sound of military boots faded away.
Blackie and Snowy were kicked out by Heinrich yesterday. Whether it was because of Heinrich’s pressure, the two rabbit-cats did not make any noise, or Lin Xu just did not have the heart to listen to the two rabbit-cats’ calling. Now he could hear them scratching at the door.
Lin Xu huskily asked Ruth to open the door and let the rabbit-cats in. He didn’t want to move for a while, but it wasn’t exhaustion that pervaded. There was a delayed, lingering sense of loss of control that would not go away.
Lin Xu pondered in a trance whether he would have simply suffocated or passed out if Heinrich had really stopped his brutal demands. And he hadn’t seen the dragon scales today… Are there dragon scales or not, where are they? What is it like to use one with dragon scales?
Lin Xu lay on his back for almost half an hour, and two rabbit-cats were jumping around him, their personalities extremely similar to dogs were evident at this moment, one and two licking Lin Xu’s face energetically, or biting his fingers, trying to get their master to get up and play with them.
Lin Xu pushed Snowy away and found that the food on the Victoria was so good that Snowy had grown much heavier and his beautiful face was rounded.
The bed left some blood spots, there should be some lacerations, he turned his back to touch… There was nothing, the liquid had dried and there was no trace of injury. What had happened?
Lin Xu looked fixedly at the water stain that fell on the quilt, it seeped into the fibers partly, but not completely dry, then in the non-permeable epidermis that should not dry faster than it. He frowned in confusion and reached out to touch the liquid stain with his finger, which stuck to his hand wet and cold.
He tasted it gently. It had a white chocolate flavor. The sweetness of the vetiver’s botanical scent diluted the sweetness. … To confirm the material properties, he needed more samples next time.

But Lin Xu didn’t find the next opportunity right away, because –
The Abyss Fleet had left Mars behind and reached Earth, the azure planet was presented to the crowd. After hearing Ryan say it, many tears were shed for no apparent reason at Earth, the home planet, as the Victoria glided to its chosen heading and finally stopped.
Ryan tugged on Lin Xu’s sleeve at Ninth Canteen and told him about it, while crying himself. Lin Xu glanced at him from his book, “Why are you crying?”
“Professor Lin, ahem,” Ryan cried and choked himself, “when I was in middle school, history books said that 2,800 years after humans left Earth, there was a wave of Earth Recovery, but there was never a clue. I never found a clue. I thought then that I would never see ancient Earth while I was alive.”
“Capital Star’s artificial natural environment is similar to Earth, and the human appearance has not changed significantly.” Lin Xu said, “There is no difference in the landscape, except that the Capital Star has more moons than Earth.”
“But, but…” Ryan said, “Other extraterrestrials have their own home planets, and it’s hard not to be sad that only humans have lost their home planet.”
Lin Xu didn’t say anything. The Marion Empire and the human Exiled Alliance Fleet next door were developing at a very fast pace. Five hundred years ago, humans were just one of the smallest races in the universe, and there were even some sympathetic extraterrestrials discussing whether to give humans protective assistance or to establish a rare intelligent species Protected areas.
The Zerg were driven back to their lair, and the Imperial territory was expanded to the entire Einstein Galaxy. The Extraterrestrials were amazed at the indomitable courage of the human race.
However, the march into the future could not make up for the grief of humanity’s lost home planet. Even in their dealings with extraterrestrials, some humans would have doubts about their own history and sense of community.
This was one of the major reasons why the Imperial hierarchy was so eager to send an expedition to Earth after discovering traces of ancient Earth.
The mission included a large number of archaeologists and anthropologists, and the Empire hoped to take the opportunity to further explore the earliest origins of the human species and confirm the more solid, long-standing foundations of human civilization.
Ryan, who was raised in the atmosphere of the Empire’s intense remembrance of ancient Earth, wiped tears from his eyes, “Professor Lin, will you land on Earth?”
“Hmm.” Lin Xu had made a pact with Heinrich on Sand star to go to Earth to investigate the collection of signs that appeared on the recording box.
“Can I follow you there?”
Ryan and Lin Xu did not join the expedition and were taken directly to the Victoria by Heinrich, whose names would not be included in the expedition’s landing plan.
To avoid the destructive effects of the landing of the massive-looking starship fleet on Earth, the entire starships of the Abyss Fleet and the Elam Fleet would hover beyond the moon’s orbit around the sun and would not land, sending separate combat teams to follow the members of the expedition to land on Earth to ensure the safety of the personnel.
Until any relics from a destroyed human civilization were unearthed, Ryan, a young intern studying the literature and art of ancient Earth, couldn’t be of much help; he just wanted to see Earth for himself.
“I’ll ask Heinrich about it.”
On the third day after the fleet reached the selected orbit, the unmanned probe sent to Earth returned, confirming that no new intelligent races with sufficient technological power to utilize electromagnetic waves had appeared on ancient Earth. The air content was suitable for interstellar humans, the radiation levels were normal and harmless, and landing operations could be conducted.
The probe also sent back an automatically drawn topographic map. The current Earth was about 85% ocean and 15% land, and according to the data, ancient Earth human civilization had less exploitation of the ocean, and the large research spacecraft sent by the Nature’s Evolution would land in the ocean to avoid damage to the remains of human civilization.
Heinrich sent the relevant information in advance to Lin Xu, who was once familiar with how the coastline as Earth’s sea level rose and receded, submerging many coastal areas, and he deduced the possible location of the base according to the remaining terrain.
To keep a low profile, none of the three mecha masters flew their mecha.
The author has something to say.
