Chapter 21

Because of the unexpected situation the day before, Princess Lina forced Li Zhi to rest at home for a few days.

Li Zhi had no choice but to stay at home and recuperate, when he suddenly received a strange private message on his personal smart computer.

Li Zhi glanced at the content. It was from the male who lost control yesterday. After he was given emergency treatment and regained his sanity, he felt extremely remorseful and guilty about his behavior and sent a heartfelt apology letter.

[Dear Lord Li Zhi, I deeply apologize for the shock I caused you by my irrational and out-of-control behavior yesterday! In order to gain your forgiveness, I am willing to commit suicide to apologize! ]

Li Zhi was startled and replied quickly.

[No, no! You were out of control, you didn't mean it, I understand, and I'm fine, don't worry~]

The male in the form of a wild boar was so moved by the gentle reply that he almost shed tears, and his hands were shaking as he typed.

[Thank you for your forgiveness! I promise that even yesterday, I had no intention of hurting you at all! ]

Although he was in an out-of-control beast state yesterday, he still remembered the feeling at that time.

He rushed towards Li Zhi, not wanting to hurt her, but using the sharp instinct and perception of a wild beast, he felt a genuine closeness to the aura on her body, and it seemed that it could save him.

But he knew that no one would believe him if he told her. This delicate little female named Li Zhi had been abducted by space pirates and had lost her pheromones. How could she possibly save him?

Li Zhi didn't know what he was thinking, so he tried to comfort him again. After seeing that he had calmed down completely, he turned off the intelligent computer.

She later found out that Su Jing had not gone to the research institute in the past few days, but had been silently protecting her. She felt a little embarrassed and always felt that she had affected him.

Since she was at home today, she immediately assured him again and again that she was fine and he didn't need to worry about watching over her. Su Jing finally went to the research institute to deal with the pile of work that could no longer be delayed.

Li Zhi was alone at home with nothing to do. After thinking for a while, she decided to make a loving lunch box and send it to Su Jing.

It's not about pleasing him, I just want to express my gratitude for his care and protection, as well as some secret girlish feelings that suddenly emerged.
She quickly prepared delicious dishes and a cute bento, and drew a heart on it with ketchup. Without telling Su Jing, she decided to go to the research institute herself to give him a little surprise.

It should be a surprise, right?
Everyone in the research institute was already familiar with Li Zhi. When they saw her coming in with her lunch box, they silently exchanged gossipy looks, and enthusiastically showed her the way and told her where Su Jing was.

After Li Zhi thanked him softly, she walked to the room at the end of the corridor. Through the half-wall-high transparent glass, she saw Su Jing bending over to take care of a female woman.

The female had an extremely beautiful appearance, with her long white hair flowing naturally and her eyes closed, like an angel that had fallen to the earth.

Watching Su Jing taking care of another girl with utmost tenderness and consideration, with such an intimate and caring attitude, it seemed that he was more careful and cherishing towards her than towards her.

For some reason, she suddenly felt inexplicably depressed and bitter in her heart. The sensitive girl's throbbing that had just emerged was instantly poured with cold water by the emerging suspicion.

This is why Su Jing resolutely decided to give up martial arts and pursue medicine, in order to save the people who are very important to him.

Perhaps this is why he was unwilling to marry the princess and was reluctant to tell her.

Su Jing was unwilling to say it before, and she had no right to ask him in person. Besides, the character she had developed over the years had a very strong self-protection and anti-addiction mechanism.

Li Zhi pursed her lips, put down her lunch box, and left the institute evasively and quietly.

She stood at the door, confused for a moment, then saw the regulatory bureau next to it and walked in.

The last time Su Jing took her there, he registered her, and she could enter and exit freely without any hindrance.

Li Zhi was feeling inexplicably depressed and confused as he walked through the supervision bureau that looked like a large primeval forest park, and before he knew it, he had reached the innermost area that he had been to last time.

Behind the fence, there lay a lazy golden lion.

He raised his furry head to look at her, as if he had sensed her presence long ago and was waiting for her here. Li Zhi saw the furry and majestic golden lion, walked over and greeted him through the fence: "Hello, big lion, are you waiting for me?"

The big golden lion did not answer, but stared at her with his golden-brown eyes without blinking. The joy and closeness filled in his eyes had already answered for him.

When Li Zhi saw the fur, his mood immediately improved and his eyes curved.

Not far away, a man wearing a neat black suit, with meticulously combed misty blue hair and gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge stopped and looked at the man and the lion silently.

Lan Heng came here for inspection today, but he didn't expect to run into this little female without pheromones that Jiang Yue would rather disobey orders to protect.

His narrow eyes behind the lenses showed slight ripples. He slowly walked to her side, looked at her sideways, and asked in an unclear tone: "Do you know him?"

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, then realized that the man was talking about the big lion. Although he didn't know who he was, he still answered, "Well, I can't say I know him. This is the second time I've seen him today."

Lan Heng was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on the docile looking golden lion, who only had Li Zhi in his eyes, and said meaningfully: "They like you very much."

Not to mention them, even he felt inexplicably relaxed when standing next to this little female.

Maybe it's because she has no pheromones, just like a blank sheet of paper, simple and harmless, which makes people relax, he thought.

"They?" Li Zhi didn't understand what he meant.

Lan Heng did not answer, but instead talked about an irrelevant topic: "Do you know why the Empire only has major generals, but no lieutenant generals or admirals?"

Li Zhi shook her head. She didn’t know, nor did she know why this person asked that.

Lan Heng said coldly: "Because no male warrior can reach a higher level."

"There are countless excellent and brave warriors in the empire. After they are promoted to major generals, their combat power will be too high, which will lead to a higher risk of losing control during the estrus period. However, there are no females of the same level who can use pheromones to appease them, so they lose control and turn into beasts."

"There was once only one SS-rank male who, relying on his outstanding talent and strong willpower, became an imperial marshal and was known as the god of war in the galaxy. However, he inevitably lost control and turned into a beast in a battle."

"It's the lion in front of you, the legendary Golden Lion Marshal."

Li Zhi was shocked. She didn't expect that the big furry lion in front of her had such a powerful identity.

After Lan Heng had laid the groundwork, he finally got to the point. He looked at Li Zhi and said calmly, "Let me introduce myself. I am the commander of the empire, Lan Heng."

Li Zhi opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect that this person was the commander that Jiang Yue and Su Jing had mentioned before.

Lan Heng saw the surprise and uneasiness on her face, but his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were filled with extreme rationality and coldness: "I know you, and I deeply regret what happened to you. The Empire will do its best to provide you with protection and preferential treatment."

"However, Jiang Yue is the most outstanding major general in the empire. If you let him be your guardian, the final result will be that you can only watch him and this Golden Lion Marshal, like all the males here, lose control and transform into beasts and be imprisoned here."

Li Zhi was puzzled: "I don't understand, aren't there artificial pheromone inhibitors? Why would it lose control and transform into a beast?"

Lan Heng saw that her expression was not fake and she really didn't understand. He twitched the corners of his lips and said, "It seems that they didn't tell you."

"Artificial pheromone inhibitors can only provide a short-term sustained-release effect and have side effects. Every time you inject them, the next estrus period will come faster, be more severe, and be more likely to get out of control."

"Besides, Jiang Yue keeps going on missions and his combat power will keep rising. The risk of losing control during the estrus period will only get higher and higher. I'm afraid that during the next estrus period, if there is no pheromone from an S-rank female to comfort him, he will definitely lose control and transform into a beast."

Li Zhi finally knew the truth, and her complex emotions surged together. She murmured in a low voice: "If that's the case, why does Jiang Yue still want to protect me? Doesn't he consider these things?"

Lan Heng was silent for a moment. He could only say, "He's in love."
