When Heinrich was a child, he often couldn’t control some of his dragon features, such as the scales on his cheeks and ears, and the dragon wings that would occasionally grow on his back. But he couldn’t turn into a whole dragon, and the Dragon Star was not suitable for him. The Chu clan, with its ancient human bloodline, did not welcome a child of mixed species either.
So Chu Suifeng and Andreas took little Heinrich to live with them on the Katrina. The ship’s crew didn’t dare to say anything to little Heinrich in front of him because of the army chief Chu Suifeng, but the secret talk was unstoppable. Although it wasn’t all malicious, no matter good or bad, the words were saying that this child was different from the norm.
Andreas taught him how to control the dragon’s characteristics, and he learned for a long time until both parents were buried in the Star Ocean. In the battle where Chu Suifeng was killed, when the Zerg were in power, the Abyss Fleet had no leader, and some opportunists took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Heinrich, with the support of his mother’s cronies, took command of the fleet and led the Abyss Fleet to defeat the Zerg army, and became famous.
After the return of the Abyss Fleet, Heinrich and his supporting generals were first brought before an Imperial court martial. Although it was a great victory, Heinrich’s seizure of command was against Imperial military law, and, not only did Heinrich not have any military rank, he was not even of age!
The public was in an uproar, and Heinrich’s status as a human-dragon hybrid was brought up for criticism. Heinrich’s face was cool in the courtroom, and he did not defend himself against the charges. Indeed, all his actions were illegal under Imperial law, but he had to do them.
In the end, His Majesty the Emperor, who was personally present at the trial, said, “We sometimes need to accept the price of victory.”
Heinrich Chu was acquitted in court and returned to the Abyss Fleet. Since then, he walked through blood and fire, becoming the Empire’s sharpest sword and strongest shield, unstoppable and invincible.
People now only talk about how cool the Abyss Fleet looks on the poster and how cold and handsome Marshal Chu was. The little boy who was once haunted by his own bloodline was seemingly left forever in the past, winding up in the sand and disappearing when it blew. Now a stubby dragon tail was hidden behind Heinrich, and before him Lin Xu was asking him if he was disgusted by him.
“I’m not.” Heinrich’s words came out of his mouth before he thought. He was only afraid that Xu didn’t like his inhumanity.
“Then do you want me to leave?” Lin Xu asked. Heinrich didn’t give an immediate reply, and Lin Xu waited silently in front of him, his back to the light, his face a dark blue shade.
Desire nagged at Heinrich’s body and mind, how could he possibly want Lin Xu to leave, but the stronger the desire, the more he feared he would lose his mind and be controlled by his trapped instincts and hurt Lin Xu. Heinrich stammered for a moment and slowly spoke, “…. Lin Xu, close your eyes.”
Lin Xu complied, and Heinrich watched his eyelashes cover a little, then took his left hand, pulled him forward a little more shakily, and put something in his hand. It was cold, smooth, with a regular raised pattern. There were dragon scales. Or a long piece…
The tips of Lin Xu’s ears instantly filled with blood and reddened. He had seen it in Heinrich’s mental energy fantasy and had been curious if it was real… Wait, no. How could it be that long?
The distance from Heinrich’s body to Lin Xu’s hand was at least half a meter. Lin Xu opened his eyes and saw something really not as odd as he thought.
A dragon’s tail covered with silvery white scales came into view, extending from behind Heinrich’s body, more than a meter long, and he placed the lower half of the tail in Lin Xu’s exposed left hand.
Lin Xu couldn’t resist squeezing it to try it out, and the tip of the tail that was hanging down was stimulated to bounce up and down.
The dragon scales were dense and hard, but the more they reached the end, the smaller the scales became, and the finer they were, the less they stuck to the hand, squeezing them like a slightly harder, tougher, longer piece of jelly, with a less pronounced skeletal feel, and very comfortable to touch.
But this newly grown dragon’s tail was so sensitive that every movement Lin Xu made gave Heinrich an electric sensation that stirred his brain even more, and he had to pull Lin Xu’s wrist, “Don’t…”
Lin Xu blinked and cradled the dragon’s tail in the crook of his arm, “You just don’t want me to see your tail?”
Heinrich pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “I’m a deviant.”
“But you’ve seen my fishtail a long time ago.” Lin Xu said, touching the dragon’s tail again.
Before Heinrich hid the dragon’s tail in the ice, freezing the exterior cold, but now it began to gradually warm up. The scales covering the top of the dragon’s tail were larger and darker, while the scales underneath were fine and smooth, almost white, and especially comfortable.
Lin Xu’s hand ran forward along the creamy white scales below, all the way to the largest diameter of the dragon’s tail, which he could not fully wrap in his one palm.
“You always said that you were human. And you don’t like deviants… Hm.” Heinrich’s body shuddered as Lin Xu’s cold fingers touched the dragon’s tail near where it joined his body, and he frowned to restrain his trembling. “I…”
Without knowing the suffering of others, do not advise others to be good. Indeed, in the apocalypse, the alien represented danger, and the survivors would hate Lin Xu, the half-dead “human”. These deep human psychological instincts were not related to morality, but could set off huge emotional ripples in the human heart.
“Lin Xu… Don’t touch there again…” Heinrich sounded like he was desperately trying to suppress his accelerated breathing and heartbeat. But Lin Xu’s hand shook and his fingertips pressed down heavily. The dragon tail scales gradually cracked a gap under the pressure and something popped out, hitting the back of Lin Xu’s hand hard.
Heinrich sighed and closed his eyes helplessly and hopelessly. He simply didn’t know how to face Lin Xu, who had only touched his tail and had no idea what to do with it.
But he… he… That thing was even more horrifying than normal, and even more so because it was covered in scales and exuded a strange aura. He must have scared Lin Xu.
“Ah…” Lin Xu made a low, unintelligible sound, but didn’t pull his hand away. The dragon’s tail began to wave around, Heinrich could barely control the thing, the sanity within his mind was eaten away a little by screaming instincts, and Lin Xu’s hand reverted to a light point.
The opening of the dragon’s tail opened out, representing that this dragon was in the estrus stage and could mate. But for a creature as aggressive as a dragon, the estrus stage implied a stronger desire to fight and possess, and there were no mitigating medication measures than there ever were for alpha.
“You obviously need my help…” Lin Xu looked down. Suddenly, he felt a skyward shadow and fell. Heinrich had pushed him out!
Lin Xu fell to the ground and looked toward his original position, only to see the exposed dragon’s tail slapping the ice surface in an uncomfortable and violent manner, splashing numerous ice chips. What is this…? Before he could clear his mind, a black shadow suddenly swooped out of the corner and pressed him vigorously against the ice.
“Hiss…” Lin Xu raised his eyes and met Heinrich’s reddened golden eyes, which seemed to have fire and pain in them, but animal lust had prevailed in a duel with sanity.
“Heinrich…” Lin Xu leaned against the ice, his waist almost hanging in the air, he raised his hand to grab Heinrich’s arm to lend strength, but Heinrich had a death grip on him. There was no room for struggle.
The dragon’s tail, what came out of the slit in the dragon’s tail, and Heinrich’s original, all stuck above Lin Xu’s knees, the bulging veins popping and heating up.
The dragon’s tail moved first, wrapping around Lin Xu’s waist, tightening in a fraction of a second as Lin Xu’s breathing became labored. The dragon males control the females’ movements during mating, keeping them from escaping.
Heinrich nibbled on the side of his neck, leaving red marks from the friction between his teeth, and his voice was filled with unprecedented passion, “I want to use your fishtail.”
The hot wind blew in his ears, making the back of Lin Xu’s head tingle and go blank. With a piercing sound, the black fish tail ripped through the isolation suit, and the silvery white dragon tail began to slide downward, a little past the shiny black scales, tightly intertwined.
—
Heinrich almost literally lost his mind in the grip of the dragon estrus phase, leaving only his pleasure-seeking brutal nature and shallow consciousness. He put them all to use. The scales would be somewhat cooler than the skin, smoother, but with interwoven seams and flip-ups on the way to and from. The turned-up scales were thin enough not to scratch the skin and bleed, as feared in Heinrich’s mental energy visions.
At first it was an exchange, Lin Xu was frozen stiff on one side by the ice, and felt a dizzying rush of indulgent heat in his brain. But all of a sudden, Heinrich wanted to put it all together, the shiny black scales of the fish’s tail rose up, and the tearing sensation made Lin Xu reach out to push Heinrich, but the dragon’s tail had complete control over him, leaving him no room for escape, and his hand just barely touched Heinrich’s arm.
But Heinrich was stopped by the movement that didn’t even use much strength, and he stopped to ask Lin Xu for a promise, “Lin Xu, can I put it all in?”
“That hurts!”
“Lin Xu…”
Heinrich’s muffled voice sounded almost pleading, and Lin Xu could even hear a little sobbing as he looked into Heinrich’s eyes. These golden eyes glowed red and confused, and Heinrich simply followed his nature and pleaded with Lin Xu almost roguishly, his eyes still misted over.
Lin Xu’s resistance loosened a little, and he bit his lower lip and reluctantly nodded. With permission, Heinrich moved closer to Lin Xu so that Lin Xu’s arms could wrap around his shoulders.
He picked Lin Xu’s back up so he wouldn’t hit the hard ice or let the shattered ice slag sting Lin Xu. Tears built up in Lin Xu’s eyes, wetting his eyelashes, tears that were again explored and kissed away by Heinrich. But finally, Heinrich wasn’t as restrained as he had been before, revealing a real match for him.
The fish tail had never experienced this before, tail fin stiffening and feebly slapping the ice as the dragon tail followed the fish tail’s movements over and wrapped around, bringing the two closer together.
Just as his mind went blank in near dizziness, there was a brush and pull, and a pair of dragon wings burst through the fabric of Heinrich’s back and appeared in the middle of the ice cave, blocking out the blinding sunlight.
—
Lin Xu passed out in the middle of the third time. When he woke up again, he found that he was not lying directly on the ice, but was separated from the ice by a layer of dragon wings, with Heinrich holding him in his arms and the other side of the dragon wings covering Lin Xu as if he were a quilt, with heat coming from the blood gurgling in the veins under the skin.
Looking down the dragon wing towards the base, there were deep scratches on the dragon wing and on Heinrich’s back, and although the bleeding had stopped, the wounds were still shocking – all scratched out by Lin Xu just now.
His nails were broken during the battle with the S-Class zombie, but the pain and trembling unconsciously grew half of the broken claws enough to rip open the isolation suit and scratch into Heinrich’s shoulder blade.
