Prisoner 01, Lan Su

After Lu Mi finished speaking, he raised his foot to open the door.

His hand had just touched the doorknob when wrist-thick white vines shot out from behind him without warning.

Lu Mi instinctively dodged, but he had not been on guard against Yu Tu and was still caught around the waist by the white vines.

The vines wrapped around Lu Mi and personally delivered him onto Yu Tu's bed. Yu Tu knelt beside him, slowly removed the two Energy Lock Rings from his wrist, and looked down at him.

"Yu Tu!"

"Warden Lu, you're injured." Yu Tu had not gone mad. He was very calm now. "Please let me treat your wounds."

Lu Mi: "..."

He quietly let out a breath.

Lu Mi turned his face aside. "If you're treating my wounds, then treat them. Can't you talk properly? Yu Tu, break this habit of tying people up whenever you like!"

Tying him up at every turn—did he not care about his waist anymore?

Lu Mi's expression was icy. "If you speak properly, you don't need to tie me up. I'll come over. Do you hear me?"

Yu Tu tilted his head and asked uncertainly, "Are you... scolding me?"

He felt that he was.

But after thinking it over carefully, he felt that perhaps he was not.

The Bean Sprout on top of his head turned into a question mark, perfectly fitting the mood.

Lu Mi closed his eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. If you're treating me, hurry up... Also, you are not allowed to take off my clothes!"

Yu Tu was a little disappointed. "Oh."

Ten minutes later...

Lu Mi lay on the bed with his eyes closed, the vein in his brow throbbing fiercely. His patience had clearly reached its limit.

Yu Tu lay on his side beside him, holding his waist. His fingers had turned into ten vines, slipping in beneath Lu Mi's hem, collar, and pant legs, carefully examining every part of Lu Mi's body. Whenever he found a wound, he immediately treated it.

Yu Tu stared at Lu Mi's face and repeatedly asked about his condition—

"Warden Lu, are you very uncomfortable? Did I hurt you?"

"Warden Lu, if you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me."

"Warden Lu, why is your body shaking? Do you want me to stop?"

Yu Tu's voice was as light as the wind, as soft as clouds.

Yet it was so noisy that it reached deep into Lu Mi's heart, stirring up a burst of inexplicable irritation.

"Shut up."

Lu Mi struggled to open his eyes and met Yu Tu's clear red ones.

His voice was unbelievably hoarse.

"Old bastard. Let me help you instead."

-

A car went dididididi...

Tomato grinned.

-

Before leaving, Lu Mi looked at Yu Tu with a cold face. "0456, I have to say, your technique is terrible."

Yu Tu: "!"

Bean Sprout stood upright!

-

Three days later.

Cell 05.

"Open the cell door."

Lu Mi stood at the entrance to Cell 05, took a pair of black handcuffs from his waist and put them on Yu Tu, then covered Yu Tu's eyes with a strip of black cloth.

Looking at Yu Tu's slightly pursed lips, Lu Mi's expression was utterly impartial.

"This was his request. He doesn't like seeing strangers.

"Your 'fierce reputation' is well known. For safety reasons, I need to use certain measures to restrain your movements.

"When you see him later, behave yourself. Answer whatever he asks. Don't bring up strange things. Do you understand?"

Yu Tu softly said, "Oh."

Lu Mi nodded coldly. "Mm."

He looked at the two prison officers beside him, who were staring at him with strange expressions, his face calm.

"Did you see that? Special high-security prisoners require special methods.

"Learn well. You still have a long way to go in this profession."

Lu Mi looked away and gripped the chain between Yu Tu's handcuffs with one hand.

"Let's go, 0456."

"Oh."

Lu Mi walked in front while Yu Tu followed behind, pulled along by his handcuffs.

With his vision blocked, Yu Tu's breathing gradually became a little hurried. He raised his fingers and secretly hooked them against the back of Lu Mi's hand.

Even through the leather glove, Lu Mi still felt a little ticklish.

"0456, don't try to attract the warden's attention."

Hadn't he already given Yu Tu enough attention?

If it increased any further, was he supposed to stop working altogether?

Yu Tu stumbled, his head bumping into Lu Mi's back. Panicked, he instinctively grabbed Lu Mi's clothes.

Yu Tu resisted the urge to sprout little Bean Sprouts from his head and cautiously said,

"Sorry, Warden Lu. I didn't mean to..."

Lu Mi snorted coldly. "0456, you're such a pain! You can't even walk properly!"

Lu Mi released the chain. Yu Tu's expression immediately turned panicked, but in the next second, he was swept into Lu Mi's arms. His long white hair dangled through the air and swayed gently.

Lu Mi carried Yu Tu forward. "0456, don't let there be a next time."

Behind them, the two prison officers instinctively exchanged a glance.

Lu Mi carried Yu Tu directly out of the inner building, then turned into a side corridor at the corner.

There was nothing blocking the view from this position, and the sight of him carrying Yu Tu fell into the eyes of the high-security prisoners outside for recreation.

Everyone could not help looking at one another—

"What's going on?"

"It hasn't even been that long! When the First Commander first arrived, he looked like he wanted to kill the First Prison's warden! How are they already hugging?"

"Yeah, what's going on? I heard from the prison officers that Warden Lu dealt with 0456 a few days ago!"

"Since when did Warden Lu offer this kind of service when dealing with people?"

"Brothers, could it be... the First Commander knows he can't beat Warden Lu, so he decided to become the warden's pet?"

"No way, right?"

There was not a single woman on Calamity Planet.

Most of the high-security prisoners had vile temperaments, and they were all men with ordinary needs.

Here, even among high-security prisoners, there were divisions of rank.

To make life easier, some people would voluntarily become the pets of prison officers or other high-security prisoners in exchange for protection.

However, after Lu Mi became the First Prison's warden, he had strictly forbidden this.

No matter what the high-security prisoners did in secret, at least openly, no one dared provoke Lu Mi.

Could it be that Warden Lu had broken the ban himself?

-

Lu Mi did not know what the high-security prisoners were speculating about.

Carrying Yu Tu through the corridor, he arrived at another entrance.

Four prison officers were on duty at the entrance. The entry and exit passageways were the only ones.

When the four saw Lu Mi, they saluted in unison. Lu Mi nodded in response and stood at the entrance for facial recognition.

The entrance opened, and Lu Mi stepped inside.

Once the entrance door closed, Lu Mi said, "Go to the Sky Prison Cell."

In the not-so-large space, a red light lit up in the upper right corner, followed by an AI voice—

"Identity recognition successful."

"Voice recognition successful."

"Welcome, Warden Lu Mi. We will now proceed to the Sky Prison Cell."

As soon as the AI finished speaking, an intense sensation of weightlessness followed. Yu Tu instinctively tightened his arms around Lu Mi's waist and buried his face against his chest.

Lu Mi lowered his head, his expression softening.

Soon, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared.

"Warden Lu, we have arrived at the Sky Prison Cell."

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening automatically, Yu Tu slowly turned his head.

The entrance door opened, but outside was no longer the corridor they had come through. It was an aerial skybridge.

Beneath the skybridge stretched a sea of stars, as though they were walking through the boundless universe.

The surroundings were frighteningly quiet.

Lu Mi said, "This is the Sky Prison Cell personally built by Cang Qi. It is located in the starry sky above Calamity Planet. Prisoner 01 of the First Prison is held here. Before Cang Qi came to the First Prison, he lived in Cell 01."

"Who is he?"

Lu Mi's steps paused, and he lowered his head to look at Yu Tu.

"Lan Su, the former crown prince of Blue River and the elder brother of Blue River's current emperor, Lan Xiao."

Yu Tu's expression did not change much, and only then did Lu Mi continue walking inward.

"Those with special talents in the Blue River System can apply for special treatment, even if they are high-security prisoners.

"Lan Su is Calamity Planet's only senior pharmacist. Using his assessment results, I applied for this Sky Prison Cell for him.

"Of course, when filing the report, I pulled a few strings and used Cang Qi's name."

As he spoke, Lu Mi carried Yu Tu across the aerial skybridge. He stopped before a door and pressed the doorbell.
