AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 90

Auston was stunned by Ruan Tang’s kiss and immediately asked him, not without annoyance, “Why do you always do things like this? Do you have any Omega manners at all? Can you please leave things like this to your Alpha in the future?”

He was simply helpless with this lawless Omega.

“There’s no way, who told my Alpha to be so thin-skinned and unwilling to take the initiative? I have no choice but to be more proactive myself.” Ruan Tang wasn’t afraid of him at all, only smiling as he looked at him, feeling that even Auston’s exasperated appearance was incredibly adorable.

Auston glared at Ruan Tang, wanting to retort, but he couldn’t find any way to subdue this Omega.

“I think the scar on your face seems lighter, have you been getting treatment recently?” Ruan Tang reached out and touched Auston’s face, feeling that the scar on his face seemed to have faded a lot.

“You superficial Omega, you said you didn’t care about my appearance and only liked me as a person. Now that there’s a slight change on my face, you actually noticed it?” Auston narrowed his eyes and glanced at him sideways, feeling very pleased in his heart, but his mouth still put on a look of disgust.

He had indeed been receiving treatment for the scars on his face recently. The scars from the insectoid venom were difficult to completely heal, requiring multiple repairs, and could only be faded but not erased. After Auston had undergone several treatments before, seeing that the effect was minimal, and with a twisted desire to disgust the Empress and Emperor, he gave up in self-abandonment, simply refusing to continue treatment.

But now, having Ruan Tang, everything was different.

Although Ruan Tang said he didn’t care about his appearance, Auston always felt that appearance still added to the attraction in a relationship.

Therefore, he was willing to waste time on this treatment that he felt had little effect. He didn’t expect that after only a few visits, Ruan Tang would see the results.

Ruan Tang was already used to his tsundere behavior, knowing that his words had to be interpreted in reverse. He immediately raised his hand and gently touched the scar on his face, softly asking, “Does it hurt?”

Auston gently shook his head.

Under the crown of the flowering crabapple tree, he tightly hugged Ruan Tang and groped him with his hands, whispering in Ruan Tang’s ear in a low, hoarse voice, “I really want you…”

Ruan Tang immediately understood his meaning. Although he felt that such behavior was a bit bold, considering that today was his birthday, looking at the sea of flowers under the moonlight, there seemed to be a special kind of forbidden stimulation. He reluctantly gave in.

The two tightly embraced each other under the flowering crabapple tree. Ruan Tang kissed the scar on Auston’s face, his voice hoarse as he said, “Seth, I plan to stop using my suppressants. This year’s heat, you’ll completely mark me, okay?”

Although they had already done everything that marking entailed, due to Ruan Tang’s heat not yet arriving, they still lacked a complete marking imprinted on each other’s spirits.

The next morning, the news that Auston had planted ten miles of flowering crabapples for Ruan Tang spread throughout the entire Osfia Imperial Star, once again confirming Auston’s infatuation and favor towards Ruan Tang.

And these countless flowering crabapples, also because of Ruan Tang and Auston, became a symbol of true love in the eyes of everyone.

Flowering crabapples, which were already valuable, were raised to exorbitant prices overnight by profit-seeking merchants.

Shen Mozhi learned about Auston planting ten miles of flowering crabapples for Ruan Tang from others. When he heard the news, his eyelashes only trembled slightly, and there were no other emotions left.

He was different from Wen Run and Zhou Yao. Even if he was reborn and regained his memories from his previous life, he never thought about going to find Ruan Tang and apologizing to him, even though his heart was filled with guilt and remorse, tormenting and burning his heart day and night. He never thought about disturbing Ruan Tang…

Because, like Ruan Tang, he was also someone who had been pushed into the dust and climbed up step by step.

Putting himself in Ruan Tang’s shoes, if he were to be treated as an enemy by the person he had saved, pushed into the abyss again and again, and then that person came to apologize to him, saying sorry, I was wrong, it was because I mistook Ruan Xi for you that I treated you that way, he wouldn’t be happy at all, he would only feel disgusted and uncomfortable, feeling that he had saved the wrong person, even regretting saving him.

The so-called apology, apart from comforting and redeeming the person who did wrong, making their conscience feel better, was of no use to the person who was hurt.

So, Shen Mozhi didn’t plan to apologize, nor did he plan to appear in front of Ruan Tang again.

Only when he heard that Auston was extremely good to Ruan Tang, planting ten miles of flowering crabapples for him, did he slightly daze.

Flowering crabapples were expensive, and extremely difficult to find now, but Auston was able to plant ten miles of flowering crabapples to make Ruan Tang smile, which showed that he had really put his heart into it.

After all, among the many Alphas on the entire Imperial Star, how many could spend a fortune for an Omega, disregarding rumors and doing so much?

But Auston did it. This Bluebeard Duke, infamous on Imperial Star, gave Ruan Tang everything he could give, not caring about gains or losses at all.

Shen Mozhi asked himself, if he and Ruan Tang were together, could he have planted ten miles of flowering crabapples for Ruan Tang?

After seriously pondering for a moment, Shen Mozhi felt that he couldn’t. Even if he had so much money and connections, his family wouldn’t allow him to do so, and the clear and upright official career path he needed to take wouldn’t allow him to be so extravagant.

Therefore, no matter what happened in the future, it seemed that Ruan Tang’s marriage to Auston was far better than being with him, Zhou Yao, or anyone else.

The little boy who had saved him was Shen Mozhi’s lifelong obsession. For this obsession, he didn’t hesitate to help the wicked, making mistakes again and again, but hurting the boy from that year.

Perhaps, from the moment he couldn’t distinguish between right and wrong, and for the sake of his obsession, disregarding right and wrong, standing on the side of his so-called benefactor and presumptuously shouldering the world for him, their values were different, and he and Ruan Tang were destined to miss each other.

His obsession turned into madness as he wanted to repay the boy from that year, but he missed the boy. Perhaps it was heaven’s punishment for his deep obsession.

However, the only thing Shen Mozhi was grateful for was that the boy was an angel who had descended to the world. Even if countless people had wronged him, fate would ultimately leave the best for him.

Shen Mozhi’s engagement disappeared with Ruan Xi’s death. No one around him knew why he didn’t participate in saving Ruan Xi, and even pushed Ruan Xi to his death. They only thought that he had lost his way and realized his mistakes. Regarding the past entanglement between him and Ruan Tang, which even Ruan Tang had forgotten, for the sake of Ruan Tang’s reputation, Shen Mozhi didn’t mention a word, as if it had never happened.

Seeing that Ruan Tang was truly living a very happy and good life now, Shen Mozhi was already content.

And for the rest of his life, he would silently guard him, atone for his sins without disturbing Ruan Tang…

…

After agreeing that they would be marked for life during Ruan Tang’s heat, Auston and Ruan Tang began preparing for this heat, being clingy all day long, wishing they were Siamese twins who would never be separated.

But unfortunately—

Before they could indulge in their intimacy, the obstacles of reality were about to tear them apart.

The Insect Emperor in the Gemini Galaxy and the space pirates in the Quicksand Galaxy seemed to have colluded and caused trouble at the same time. The Emperor immediately ordered Duke Auston and Lieutenant General Ruan Yang to lead the Royal Glory Legion and the Ruan Family White Tiger Legion respectively to fight against the pirates and the Insect Emperor.

In the Emperor’s eyes, Auston, who had the highest mental strength in the royal family and deeply hated the insectoids, was undoubtedly the best candidate to represent the royal family in the campaign to quell the rebellion, taking the lead and gaining popular support.

Due to the sudden military transfer order to quell the rebellion, Auston and Ruan Tang had to suspend the lifelong marking plan for this heat.

“My lord, I want to go with you!” Considering Auston’s mental strength, which would act up from time to time without his comfort, Ruan Tang immediately strongly requested to join the army to the Gemini Galaxy.

But Auston refused outright, “No way.”

“Why?” Ruan Tang didn’t accept his refusal.

Auston, who was usually like a child in front of Ruan Tang, rarely became serious and said, “The battlefield is not a place for an Omega to go. The horror of the Insect Emperor and war is something you have never seen. And military regulations are strict. There is no rule that allows an Omega to go to the battlefield.”

Ruan Tang was still worried, “I won’t go to the battlefield. I’m willing to stay in the fortress and not disturb you in the war. I just want to be with you, okay, Seth?”

“If you go, even if you don’t get on the warship, staying in the fortress will only distract me and disrupt my combat. I said no, and that’s final. You stay obediently on Imperial Star…” Auston’s attitude was very firm.

He could agree to any of Ruan Tang’s requests, but he couldn’t agree to this one.

Regardless of public or private reasons, compared to the dangerous battlefield, Auston hoped that his Omega would stay in the safest place…

“Seth…” Ruan Tang frowned, “But what about your illness? The medicine isn’t working as well for your headaches anymore. If I’m not by your side, what if your headache flares up again?”

Auston’s heart softened slightly, and he gently kissed the corner of his mouth, but his attitude didn’t change at all, “Don’t worry about my illness. Linger has researched a new treatment method for me. The effect is very good. I’m already being treated… I’ll be fine.”

“Just stay on Imperial Star and wait for me to come back.” He turned Ruan Tang’s body around without allowing him to resist, tightly hugging him in his arms, feeling the orchid-like, plum-like fragrance of his pheromones.

He always liked to act spoiled in front of Ruan Tang, rarely showing such a strong Alpha side…

Ruan Tang quietly lay in his arms, still wanting to say something, “But…”

“The Empress’s and Emperor’s forces are intertwined so intensely, like a mad dog temporarily locked in a cage, who knows when they will break out of the cage and bite me. You know the situation in our family…” Auston didn’t give him a chance to finish speaking and interrupted, “Only if you are stationed on Imperial Star, can I feel at ease when I go to the Gemini Galaxy to fight against the insectoids.”

Seeing him put it that way, Ruan Tang felt speechless and had no choice but to grab Auston’s hand and said deeply, “You can rest assured about Imperial Star with me and Mother. Promise me that you will take care of yourself at the border and don’t let your temper run wild.”

He really didn’t know what the Emperor was thinking, actually sending a madman, famous on Imperial Star, to the border to lead troops to fight against the insectoids.

“I know, I definitely will.” Auston immediately held Ruan Tang’s hand, “And, I will definitely return with a victory…”

Compared to Ruan Tang, who didn’t know the Empress and Emperor well, Auston knew too well what his good father was planning in his heart. He simply wanted to abandon him, this chess piece, send him to the border to die, hoping that his mental strength could greatly damage the insectoids, and then send people to wipe out the remaining insectoids that he had severely injured, killing many birds with one stone.

No one would expect a madman to win the war and wipe out the Insect Emperor. The Emperor simply wanted to make the most of his mental strength and let him sacrifice himself for the country, so that he could use his sacrifice to win a good reputation for the royal family.

Auston knew his wishful thinking too well, but this time he was willing to enter the urn…

Because he felt that leading troops this time was a good opportunity to establish military merit and gain popular support if he could defeat the insectoids.

Therefore, even knowing that there were many dangers, Auston was still willing to take a gamble. The only thing he couldn’t let go of was Ruan Tang.

“I don’t expect you to win the war. It’s good if you can return victorious, but the most important thing is your safety.” Ruan Tang looked at him with utmost seriousness, word by word.

Auston immediately promised, “I will.”

He pressed Ruan Tang down and kissed him deeply.
