Commander vs. Warden

[Dual male leads + both powerful + 1v1 + both virgins + HE + younger top + reunion after separation; leave if entered by mistake]

[Yu Tu vs. Lu Mi]

[Seemingly unhinged but actually socially anxious commander vs. genuinely vicious yet doting warden]

[Some personal settings; everything follows my rules. If you don't like it, don't tell me. The author has been writing for years, is poor and crazy, and really will curse people out! The scary kind!!]

[Leave your looks behind; take your brains with you.]

Unafraid of wind and snow, he followed where his heart led.

A black warship slowly approached, like a massive blue whale lurking in the deep sea and casting an eerie shadow amid layers of fog.

Calamity Planet, First Prison.

The serious offenders in black prison uniforms, taking their exercise break within the towering walls, all looked up, each of them bracing for an enemy.

"Could it be him?"

Calamity Planet was a barren planet in the far north of the Blue River System. Its resources were terrible, its weather was harsh, and smog-shrouded skies already counted as good weather. Most of the time, it was either a sandstorm or a blizzard.

Clear skies? Sorry, they had not seen the sun for two whole months. They were practically growing mold.

Its unique conditions had made it the Blue River System's only "prison planet." Since the Blue River System had abolished the death penalty, all those imprisoned here were vicious male serious offenders.

The latest serious offender to be sentenced was an influential figure in the Blue River System—

The First Commander personally appointed by His Majesty of Blue River: Yu Tu.

Commander Yu Tu was exceptionally bloodthirsty and murderous, utterly devoid of human warmth. Many people showed him the utmost respect to his face, yet privately called him a "madman."

According to Blue River System regulations, Calamity Planet was the final destination for serious offenders.

Every serious offender felt uneasy about this outcome.

"If it really is him, then we're in trouble!"

"It's hard to imagine what'll happen next..."

Although every serious offender wore an Energy Lock Ring around his neck, there had been cases on Calamity Planet where serious offenders had broken their locks.

That incident had caused the deaths of 263 serious offenders. Had the current First Prison Warden not violently suppressed and killed the culprit, the incident might have spread across all of Calamity Planet.

For a moment, the serious offenders buzzed with discussion.

Fingers wrapped in black leather gloves curled and knocked heavily against the prison's black iron gates. Beneath a black officer's cap was an exceptionally cold and handsome face, his pitch-black eyes sweeping over the serious offenders inside without a trace of warmth.

With short black hair, black combat boots, and a black uniform wrapped around his tall, lean body, he wore a black belt cinched around his narrow waist. A black whip and a pair of black handcuffs hung at his hip, while blood-red skull insignia marked his broad shoulders, signifying his status.

One of Calamity Planet's three wardens—the First Prison Warden: Lu Mi.

The serious offenders instantly fell silent. One prisoner stepped forward with a grin. "Hehe, Yu Tu is nothing but shit in front of our First Prison Warden, right, Warden Lu?"

Lu Mi withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "1279 has violated Rule One of First Prison on Calamity Planet. Punishment: one week of reflection in Ghoststone Forest."

"Yes, Warden Lu."

A prison officer in a black uniform immediately stepped forward.

Their shoulder insignia bore ordinary black skulls.

Expressionless, the prison officer put handcuffs on 1279 and prepared to drag him away.

"Hey, wait!" 1279 looked utterly confused. "Warden, which prison rule did I violate?"

Lu Mi said, "Rule Two: disrespecting a superior."

1279 said, "I—" How would I dare disrespect you?!

The prison officer covered 1279's mouth with his hand.

The open yard grew even quieter as the serious offenders exchanged furtive looks.

It seemed their earlier guess had been correct.

Calamity Planet was about to change!

Just look how grave Warden Lu had become!

Ahead, the black warship finally descended slowly.

Amid the flying sand and stones, the hatch opened after a muffled boom.

Lu Mi lifted his gaze and stared straight ahead.

The escort for the famed First Commander of Blue River, Yu Tu, was indeed impressive.

The scale of it was unprecedented.

Fully armed Imperial Army soldiers emerged from the hatch in two lines, holding the Empire's latest energy guns. Their armor and helmets covered them from head to toe, and their synchronized, forceful clanking footsteps carried through the silence of Calamity Planet with the rumbling force of an earthquake.

Lu Mi gave a soft scoff.

He was only Yu Tu. Anyone unaware of the situation would think they were launching a planetary war.

Was that really necessary?

After the Imperial Army stood at attention, from inside the warship—

"Commander Yu Tu, please... um, you've had a long journey. Watch your step. Slowly."

Accompanied by soft footsteps and the faint clink of chains, Yu Tu was carefully escorted down from the warship by two sweating escort officers as though they were seeing off an "eighty-year-old father-in-law."

Lu Mi's gaze abruptly froze.

He wore a black officer's uniform, a golden aiguillette draped from his left shoulder and meeting a diamond medal at his chest—the symbol of the highest rank among Imperial officers.

A blood-red shirt lay beneath it. His waist-length white hair hung loose, and his pale, coldly alluring face was as exquisite as carved jade. Beneath black, raven-feather lashes, the eyes set in his long, narrow phoenix eyes resembled rubies—pure yet sinister.

His face bore no expression. Black Energy Lock Rings encircled his neck, wrists, and ankles, while heavy silver handcuffs and shackles had been added on top of them.

Yet even so, the oppressive aura exuded by the young man still made it hard to breathe.

It was a quiet madness forged from accumulated bloodshed.

Now he could suddenly understand the pressure those two escort officers were under.

As Yu Tu stepped down the final stair of the warship, the two escort officers simultaneously raised their hands to wipe away sweat.

"Commander Yu Tu, First Prison on Calamity Planet has arrived. Please take good care of yourself. We'll be leaving now!"

They even skipped the step of exchanging "polite pleasantries" with Lu Mi.

"Warden Lu, Commander Yu Tu is in your hands! We'll see you next time!"

"Go, go, go!"

The two escort officers rushed back onto the warship. The Imperial Army formation, which had seemed so disciplined moments ago, fell into disarray as they turned and fled.

The black warship sealed its hatch at top speed, took off, and accelerated, whipping up yellow sand with a shriek before vanishing in an instant.

"..."

Lu Mi narrowed his eyes.

Other than his white hair flying wildly behind him in the yellow sand, Yu Tu appeared entirely unaffected. His boots stepped rhythmically across the sandy ground, each step leaving a shallow print. His red eyes gleamed eerily through the wind and sand.

Step by step, Yu Tu walked toward him.

Lu Mi's breathing grew heavier in an instant.

Behind him, the serious offenders felt their hearts leap into their throats. The scene was a little strange!

At last, Yu Tu stopped half a meter in front of Lu Mi.

Both men were tall. Yu Tu was around 185 centimeters, while Lu Mi stood close to 190. With his officer's cap added in, Lu Mi looked a head taller than Yu Tu.

But that did not lessen the icy chill that surged between their locked gazes.

Fight, fight, fight!

Under the serious offenders' nervous yet eager stares, Yu Tu fixed his eyes on Lu Mi and spoke expressionlessly.

"You. Come with me for a moment."

Oh! They really were going to fight!

Every serious offender had a rebellious streak. Some had already begun secretly exchanging looks and drawing two circles on the ground with their feet.

A "Y" was drawn in the left circle, and an "L" in the right.

Who were they betting on?

The prisoners had no currency here. One after another, they gathered around and took out cigarettes, which were worth more to them than money in this place.

By rough estimate, Y and L were evenly matched.

Lu Mi pressed his tongue against his back teeth, gave a cold laugh, and turned around.

The prison gates suddenly opened.

"Keep up, Commander Yu Tu."
