190 Tianjia: The Little Cake Runs Away (End)

◎Big Pecs Noble Old Female◎

As it turned out, the pure love he had yearned for had been beside him all along.

He had always possessed the Tianjia Emperor’s love for him.

So that was how it was…

No wonder even after he had betrayed, attempted assassination, and fled twice, the Tianjia Emperor still held absolute trust in him.

That was not merely trust, that was love without reservation.

Countless aching and complex emotions welled up in Mu Si’s chest, making him shed tears with a smile.

Feeling both sorrow and relief.

Sorrowful that he had missed so much, blinded by mist, never perceiving the genuine love right beside him, even hurting the Tianjia who loved him multiple times.

Relieved that before things turned worse, he had come to his senses.

He still had the chance to stay with the Tianjia he loved.

A chance to make amends with the rest of his life.

Wrapping his arms around the Tianjia Emperor’s neck, Mu Si lifted his head to kiss him with fervent passion.

Stiffly embracing the Imperial Consort pressed against him, the Tianjia Emperor’s brain seemed frozen, his thoughts barely able to turn.

Even when his mental state had been at its worst, teetering near a mental riot, his thoughts had never been this chaotic and rigid.

The Imperial Consort was kissing him.

Why would the Imperial Consort kiss him?

This was the first time the Imperial Consort had initiated intimacy so proactively.

Proactive to an unnatural degree.

Like a sugar-coated poison, like a dagger placed beneath a pillow.

Yet the Tianjia Emperor could not refuse.

His pheromones had already overflowed back when the Imperial Consort performed mental soothing and touched his body.

Now they were flooding into a disaster.

He held zero resistance against the Imperial Consort.

Even if what awaited him next was being pierced through by the dagger and the Imperial Consort together.

He would tighten his hold around the Imperial Consort, heading toward the final ecstasy together.

In their intimate tangle, the Tianjia Emperor and Mu Si stumbled and fell onto the bed.

Although his consciousness was clouded by pheromones, the Tianjia Emperor’s body still instinctively adjusted orientation as they fell, taking the bottom position to cushion the fall, letting the Imperial Consort tumble into his embrace.

The concentration of pheromones inside the quarters grew higher and higher.

The sweet fragrance of blossoms and fruits intertwined with the chill of ice and snow, brewing a sweet nectar like honey wine.

During the two-day return voyage, Mu Si and the Tianjia Emperor spent the entire time inside the cabin.

Except for halfway through when the Tianjia Emperor firmly held him to pause, ordered a nutrition meal for him, and watched him finish eating, Mu Si never left the Tianjia Emperor’s body for the rest of the time.

For the first time, Mu Si discovered that a female’s pheromones were not unpleasant after all.

As it turned out, being intimate with the Tianjia he loved and who loved him in return was such a delightfully joyful thing.

Mu Si nuzzled contentedly in the Tianjia Emperor’s arms.

He liked this so much.

Such a soft, broad chest.

Hehehe, big pecs noble old female.

Sensing the Tianjia Emperor’s body turn rigid.

Mu Si realized he had accidentally spoken the last sentence out loud.

Mu Si hurriedly covered his mouth, quietly glancing up to watch the Tianjia Emperor’s reaction.

Did this count as… verbally harassing the Tianjia Emperor?

A male harassing a female didn’t really count as offensive, but he would be pinned down by the female to do this and that many times over.

The Tianjia Emperor opened his mouth several times, striving to defend himself.

In the end, he could only say dryly:

“For an SSS-grade Tianjia, over three hundred years old isn’t considered old…”

Tianjia were a long-lived species; even for an ordinary Tianjia, this age was not considered old.

Let alone being an SSS-grade, theoretically capable of living nearly a thousand years.

Provided he did not die of a mental riot.

Three hundred-plus years wasn’t old, but compared to the Imperial Consort who wasn’t even twenty, he was indeed far too elderly.

Older than the Imperial Consort by several cycles.

Whether female or male, they all preferred younger partners.

Just like… that Zerg Second Prince.

Enraged, the Tianjia Emperor’s eyes burned red, almost grinding his teeth to powder.

This was the single aspect where, no matter what, he could never surpass that Female Zerg.

He could never be younger than that Female Zerg.

He could never win.

Mu Si noticed the Tianjia Emperor’s eyes turning intensely crimson once again. He reached up to touch the Tianjia Emperor’s temple, asking worriedly:

“Is Your Majesty’s mental realm still feeling terrible?”

He had clearly repaired most of the mental realm.

Could it be that the repair was not thorough enough, triggering a rebounding deterioration?

Gently clasping Mu Si’s hand, the Tianjia Emperor closed his eyes to rein in his emotions, speaking softly:

“It has nothing to do with the mental realm. Si Si’s mental soothing was very effective; my condition hasn’t been this good in a very long time.”

“Is that so?”

Mu Si observed the Tianjia Emperor’s condition. That overly deep red in his eyes seemed to have receded, yet also seemed to have been buried even deeper.

This was the first time Mu Si had encountered such a difficult case to analyze.

He appeared normal on the outside, yet always gave him the feeling that something was off.

Let’s just assume the Tianjia Emperor’s mental state had returned to normal.

“Then, the male marriage freedom bill…”

Probably won’t have a chance to see the light of day.

Mu Si felt an intense pang of guilt.

He had chosen to save the Tianjia Emperor’s mental realm, which also caused the very last opportunity to change the future to vanish.

Subconsciously, the Tianjia Emperor tightened his embrace around the male covering him.

Even though over these two days, the Imperial Consort had tangled with him in such deep intimacy, lingering in passionate embrace.

In the end, he would still divorce him and leave him behind.

“I am sorry, Si Si… it will still take two months. This is already the absolute limit of time,” the Tianjia Emperor suppressed the ache and sorrow in his heart, speaking softly.

Hearing the first half, Mu Si was feeling downcast, but the second half made him look up in astonishment.

The Tianjia Emperor’s meaning was… the male marriage freedom bill would still be enacted?!

“Your Majesty, are you lucid right now?” Mu Si asked nervously.

“I am very lucid,” the Tianjia Emperor said.

He knew with absolute clarity that everything he was doing would cause the Imperial Consort to leave him.

But this was already the best choice he could conceive of.

Rather than having the Imperial Consort flee his side to a place he could neither reach nor control.

He would rather let the Imperial Consort divorce him and live in the Tianjia Empire, under his protection.

Staring at the Tianjia Emperor in shock, Mu Si then hugged him tightly all of a sudden, wrapping his arms around his neck with sheer delight.

When the Tianjia Emperor previously made the decision to grant freedom of marriage to males, Mu Si thought the Tianjia Emperor had a mental problem.

But now, when this Tianjia Emperor who loved him made such a decision.

Mu Si only felt that the Tianjia Emperor was fundamentally this wonderful of a Tianjia.

The wisest Emperor.

The female who respected males the most.

It was his own past misunderstanding of His Majesty, failing to notice His Majesty’s greatness.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”

Mu Si clutched the Tianjia Emperor’s neck, showering his face with frantic kisses.

The Tianjia Emperor was kissed into a daze, having no idea what was happening.

He couldn’t possibly refuse the Imperial Consort either, ultimately ending up with a face covered in pheromones.

Though compared to the heavy pheromones on the rest of his body, this bit was nothing.

Even when disembarking from the ship and returning to the palace.

The Tianjia’s body was still laden with rich pheromones, as if thoroughly soaked through by the Imperial Consort’s pheromones.

Anyone who saw them would know the Tianjia Emperor and the Imperial Consort had shared an exceptionally wonderful time.

Mu Si’s pheromones were fragrant and sweet, possessing a vivid presence; once a speck brushed against someone, it was difficult to remove, coating them all over in that scent.

Meanwhile, X’s pheromones had no distinct fragrance, just a pure, crisp cool tone, like a refreshing breeze.

This resulted in Mu Si looking crisp and refreshed, while the only one appearing thoroughly pickled in pheromones was the Tianjia Emperor.

Yet the aura and pressure carried by SSS-grade pheromones existed unmistakably.

Even without smelling any pheromone scent, absolutely no female would dare approach the Imperial Consort during this period.

Saying goodbye to Joshua and the Foreign Minister at the spaceport.

Mu Si and the Tianjia Emperor rode the royal shuttle together to return to the palace.

The Tianjia Emperor escorted the Imperial Consort to the bedchamber entrance, unsure whether he should enter.

Logically, he shouldn’t.

The Imperial Consort had rejected him, so it was best for him not even to step into the inner palace, leaving the Imperial Consort independent space.

But the Imperial Consort had just been intimate with him for so long, filling him with pheromones.

The Tianjia Emperor was somewhat unsure of the Imperial Consort’s intentions.

Seeing the Tianjia Emperor pause at the doorway, Mu Si turned in confusion:

“What is the matter, Your Majesty? Do you have administrative affairs to attend to?”

“…Yes.”

Unsure if the Imperial Consort was willing to let him enter, the Tianjia Emperor could only follow along with the Imperial Consort’s words.

He indeed had many government affairs to handle.

“State affairs are important.”

Mu Si smoothed the Tianjia Emperor’s collar, flattening the wrinkles caused by leaning and rubbing against him on the shuttle.

Sending the Tianjia Emperor off reluctantly.

Never before had he felt such melancholic reluctance, missing him before they had even parted.

Back then, he had actually been avoiding him, not daring to look at the Tianjia Emperor.

Not daring to face his own one-sided love.

It was different now.

Probably because they loved each other mutually.

It was not his one-sided wish.

The Tianjia Emperor loved him just the same.

“By the way, Your Majesty.”

As he saw the Tianjia Emperor off, Mu Si suddenly recalled something, hesitating:

“The blood I left behind… you didn’t use it, did you?”

The Tianjia Emperor’s reaction to his touch had been too intense; merely from mental soothing, pheromones had continuously flooded forth without stopping.

This was the symptom of a pregnant body being vacant for too long, starved of pheromones.

When coming out of the shuttle, he truly had not smelled his own pheromones on the Tianjia Emperor.

Hearing the Imperial Consort mention the blood, a flash of hidden pain passed through the Tianjia Emperor’s eyes, his face paling slightly.

“No, how could I ever use your blood…”

Suppressing the tremor in his voice, his gaze filled with both tenderness and remorse, the Tianjia Emperor spoke painedly:

“Si Si, please do not hurt yourself. Even if you are unwilling to give me pheromones, it is fine, I can…”

“Who said I’m unwilling to give you pheromones?” Mu Si grumbled.

Even during their deepest misunderstandings, Mu Si had dutifully provided the Tianjia Emperor with pheromones.

Even before fleeing the Tianjia, he had considered the Tianjia Emperor’s needs and left his own blood.

Let alone now.

Mu Si stole a glance at the Tianjia Emperor’s swollen belly.

Not knowing whether it was filled more with pheromones or if the egg occupied more space.

Thinking of inappropriate thoughts, Mu Si’s cheeks flushed slightly.

Hurriedly clearing distracting thoughts with mental power, he said seriously to the Tianjia Emperor:

“Leaving previously was because I was too bewildered, unable to discern the road ahead. Now, I have thought it through clearly.”

Even if the psychic plague and the downfall of the Tianjia Empire would eventually arrive, he would remain in the Tianjia, facing it together with his people.

What was more…

Mu Si thought of the male marriage freedom bill the Tianjia Emperor had mentioned, thought of the Tianjia Emperor’s consideration for males.

He suddenly felt some confidence toward the future.

Although the empire’s current state was awful, there were always Tianjia working for change, so he had even less reason to give up.

“I will not leave again,” Mu Si said resolutely.

He would no longer run away.

He would face everything in the future with courage.

The Tianjia Emperor stared blankly at the male before him, who seemed bathed in radiant light.

Not daring to ask whether the Imperial Consort meant he wouldn’t leave the Tianjia Empire.

Or wouldn’t divorce him and leave his side.

Regardless, he had already received the best outcome he could have ever imagined.

…

Over the next two months, the Tianjia Emperor was dedicated entirely to handling the male marriage bill.

Male marriage involved far too many facets, potentially altering the very fabric of Tianjia society, requiring utmost prudence.

The Tianjia Emperor was exceedingly cautious when finalizing the bill’s clauses, yet when it came to implementation, he acted with thunderous efficiency.

Forcibly suppressing all opposition with an iron fist, he pushed the bill through.

The bill was officially implemented.

Yet the Tianjia Emperor sat in his office just as before, going nowhere.

Mechanically processing official affairs on the virtual screen.

The bill had been enacted; would the Imperial Consort contact him soon to divorce him?

The Tianjia Emperor glanced at the pinned bird avatar in the bottom right corner of his terminal, terrified that it might suddenly light up.

Whatever one feared most was bound to happen.

The avatar lit up, and a message set as a special favorite popped up directly.

Before the Tianjia Emperor could even react, the words appeared before him.

[Does Your Majesty have time? I am coming to see you.]

“No, I am very busy.”

Deleted.

“Sorry, there are too many matters lately, I cannot make time, perhaps…”

Deleted.

“There are movements at the Zerg border, I must embark on an expedition…”

Deleted.

The Tianjia Emperor edited back and forth in the input box for a long while, ultimately sending only a single line:

[Yes. You may.]

Having sent this message, the Tianjia Emperor felt as though drained of all strength, leaning his head back against the chair, raising a hand to cover his eyes.

Everything was ending.

Such a day had arrived after all.

The doorbell chimed, transmitting the announcement of the Imperial Consort requesting an audience.

Taking a deep breath, the Tianjia Emperor sat upright, straightened his uniform, and took another deep breath to adjust his composure before saying:

“Please come in.”

For the first time, he dared not proactively go to the door to greet the Imperial Consort.

He feared he would lose his composure so badly he couldn’t walk steadily.

Wearing a bright smile, Mu Si pushed the door open and walked briskly toward the Tianjia Emperor.

Staring blankly at the radiant smile on the Imperial Consort’s face, the Tianjia Emperor was dazed for a moment.

He had never seen the Imperial Consort smile so brightly.

Being able to divorce him and leave him completely was probably the happiest thing for the Imperial Consort since their marriage.

“Your Majesty!”

The Imperial Consort’s voice rang out filled with delight, drawing closer and closer to him.

As the Imperial Consort arrived before the desk, the Tianjia Emperor’s body tensed up abruptly, his gaze glued to the terminal on the Imperial Consort’s wrist.

Waiting for him to display the divorce agreement.

Then, he was met with a kiss.

Reaching across the desk, the Imperial Consort leaned in to kiss his forehead, his voice laced with tender concern:

“Your Majesty must be exhausted. You should rest. No matter how important state affairs are, you cannot disregard your health.”

For the past two months, the Tianjia Emperor had slept in his office, never visiting his bedchamber.

Considering that the male marriage bill involved so much and the Tianjia Emperor would be very busy, Mu Si hadn’t disturbed him either.

Only visiting once a week to give the Tianjia Emperor a full night of pheromones.

Now that the marriage bill was being implemented in an orderly fashion, the Tianjia Emperor ought to rest.

“Let me perform mental soothing for you to help you relax,” Mu Si suggested, waving a hand before the Tianjia Emperor’s stunned eyes, even more convinced that the Tianjia Emperor needed mental soothing.

“Shall we go to the lounge next door?” Mu Si asked.

Lying down to relax was better for mental soothing.

And naturally, better for other things as well.

When the Tianjia Emperor’s pheromones overflowed from his touch, Mu Si no longer ignored it like on the ship.

Instead, multitasking between two things, he performed mental soothing while satisfying him.

The double stimulation was almost unbearable for the Tianjia.

Grasping the Imperial Consort’s hand resting on his chest, he said with difficulty:

“Si Si, the egg’s month is already very advanced, with the due date next week. Even without pheromones, it won’t affect anything.

“You do not need to wrong yourself for this, suffering through another week in the palace. You can at any time…”

Divorce me.

“How did Your Majesty know I wanted to leave the palace to work as a mental groomer?” Mu Si asked pleasantly surprised.

Tianjia Emperor: “?”

The Tianjia Emperor struggled to think with his mind muddled by the penetration.

“Working as a mental groomer after the divorce? That works out nicely in the Imperial Capital, as the Imperial Capital has the best mental hospitals…”

“What divorce?”

Mu Si furrowed his brows, resting a hand on the Tianjia Emperor’s forehead, sighing:

“It seems Your Majesty’s mental problem is truly severe.

“We need to do more mental soothing, and pheromone nourishment is needed even more.”

Pheromones had a massive impact on a female’s physical condition as well.

Females with abundant pheromone nourishment fared much better.

Thinking about it, Mu Si said:

“From now on, I will come over every night.

“Still, Your Majesty cannot treat the study as a bedchamber forever; you need a place where you can relax completely to rest.

“You haven’t visited my palace in a very long time.”

In the last sentence, Mu Si’s tone carried a hint of spoiled complaint.

In the beginning, the Tianjia Emperor had rested in his palace every single day.

Recently, because of the bill, the Tianjia Emperor had been too busy, eating and sleeping in the study, having zero time to step into the inner palace.

Mu Si understood the Tianjia Emperor’s hectic schedule, but also felt heartache for his health, and wanted the Tianjia Emperor’s company.

“Si Si… wants me to visit your palace?” the Tianjia Emperor asked softly.

Answering ‘yes’ directly might not be great, lacking restraint.

Mu Si hesitated.

Yet seeing the Tianjia Emperor’s yearning yet cautious gaze, Mu Si suddenly realized it wasn’t just a question of whether he wanted it or not; the Tianjia Emperor also desperately wanted to visit his palace and be close to him.

“Yes. I want Your Majesty to come to my palace, and I want to fall asleep leaning against Your Majesty every night.”

Saying this, Mu Si asked in return:

“Your Majesty thinks so too, right?”

The Tianjia Emperor embraced the male atop him tightly.

Of course he wanted to hold his Si Si every night.

“Not divorcing anymore?”

Perhaps the Imperial Consort’s affection gave him courage, as the Tianjia Emperor surprisingly found the nerve to ask this question aloud.

Only, his heart remained anxious.

“Of course not! Good grief, why are you always thinking about this?”

Mu Si looked at him with a gaze that said ‘this poor female’s brain is broken,’ performing mental soothing for the Tianjia Emperor with tender pity.

…

“Can you become my Empress?”

After a long while, the Tianjia Emperor asked in a quiet voice.

“Will being Empress affect me leaving the palace to work as a mental groomer?” Mu Si asked.

“It won’t. Si Si can do whatever you wish.”

“Then I shall reluctantly… cough, be exceptionally honored to become your Empress.”

Tsundere halfway through, Mu Si feared the Tianjia Emperor would take it seriously, switching to a more appropriate word after all.

After all, a female’s thinking was always far too literal, lacking humor.

The Tianjia Emperor, whose mental realm was completely normal yet whose brain seemed malfunctioning, perpetually assuming he wanted a divorce, was the prime exemplar.

“It should be my utmost honor.”

The Tianjia Emperor embraced Mu Si, as if holding his entire world.

He kissed Mu Si’s lips in reverent worship.

Mu Si kissed him in return.

·

Half-asleep and half-awake, Mu Si suddenly felt an itch on his ear.

Opening his eyes, he happened to catch the Tianjia Emperor guiltily pulling his hand back from his ear like a thief.

“What is it?”

Mu Si raised a hand to touch his ear, discovering the earring was gone.

“It is uncomfortable to sleep with it on, so I took it off,” the Tianjia Emperor coaxed softly.

“Mm.” Mu Si didn’t think this was a big deal, murmuring an acknowledgement before closing his eyes.

Remembering something, he added:

“Don’t lose it, I’m wearing it again tomorrow.”

The Tianjia Emperor, who was just about to destroy the evidence and incinerate this eyesore of an earring into ash: “…”

“The jewelry I gifted you recently, do you not like it?” the Tianjia Emperor asked in a quiet voice.

“I like it,” Mu Si yawned with closed eyes.

The Tianjia Emperor had practically moved an entire warehouse over to him.

Jewels and accessories were piled into a mountain; Mu Si was dazzled by the choices, unable to wear them all.

Mu Si planned to take a portion out to use on the Tianjia Emperor.

As for how to use them specifically, he hadn’t decided yet.

“This is a parting gift from my didi¹; it can’t be lost…”

Mu Si muttered groggily, gradually falling into a deep slumber.

The Tianjia Emperor: “??!”

What didi?

That Zerg Second Prince?

But the Second Prince’s gege is clearly…
