Scumbag Ex-Boyfriend

Ming Qiuxue rested his fingers on the energy gun at his waist.

He met Lu Mi's icy gaze, cold light flashing in his golden eyes.

"Warden Lu, Yu Tu is a prisoner of my Second Prison."

A month ago, Ming Qiuxue had received orders from his superiors that Yu Tu, the First Commander, would be escorted to the Second Prison, where Ming Qiuxue would be responsible for interrogating and guarding him.

Lu Mi took the whip in hand and rolled his shoulders. Every so often, a sharp crackle came from within him. Beneath his officer's uniform, the terrifying power hidden in his muscles warned Ming Qiuxue in the simplest possible way.

"But what can we do? 0456 entered the gates of my First Prison. He belongs to me."

"Lu Mi! Can you bear the consequences of defying orders from above?"

Lu Mi returned the whip to his waist and strode toward Ming Qiuxue. Several strange black patterns suddenly surfaced across the handsome left side of his face.

He swiftly raised his hand, spreading the fingers of his right hand before clenching them into a fist. The instant he did, black energy rapidly gathered and lengthened from the center of his palm.

With a snap.

He stopped one meter in front of Ming Qiuxue just as the energy whip in his hand fully formed.

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Mi wrapped the whip around a bench resting against the wall and flung it straight out the door!

The moment it left his hand, the whip lashed out. Before the bench could hit the ground, it had been reduced to a pile of dust!

The hardened criminals out for exercise trembled in fear.

Condensing a source-energy weapon with the power of one's energy source was one of the hallmarks of a Diamond-Grade energy user.

Every Diamond-Grade energy user's source-energy weapon was different. Lu Mi's source-energy weapon was called the Dark Whip.

The black patterns on Lu Mi's face were also known as energy markings.

Whenever an Energy Master wielded their Energy Source, energy markings would appear on their body.

Lu Mi stared into Ming Qiuxue's eyes and said firmly, "0456 can only fall into my hands. Besides..."

He smiled carelessly. "Defying orders from above? Weren't they the ones who personally delivered him to First Prison?"

Ming Qiuxue stared at him quietly for a moment. "Fine. Give me a reason to get lost."

Lu Mi bared his teeth.

"The former First Commander, the current Level-One hardened criminal, is that... scumbag ex-boyfriend who fucked me, pulled up his pants and left, then dumped me on an abandoned garbage planet to fend for myself. Is that enough reason for you to get lost?"

Ming Qiuxue said, "...Fine. Let's go."

Ming Qiuxue turned around and strode out through the inner building's main entrance.

Outside, Black Shadow had appeared at some point and was sprawled against the wall, licking its iron claws.

When it saw Ming Qiuxue, it stopped, gave him a lazy glance, then continued licking its paws.

Ming Qiuxue snorted. "Stupid dog."

A hissing sound came from inside Ming Qiuxue's clothes.

A little golden snake head poked out from his collar and flicked its tongue at Black Shadow. Its golden eyes, the same color as Ming Qiuxue's, brimmed with provocation.

Golden Eye, Ming Qiuxue's pet mech.

Ming Qiuxue's awakened energy source was the Diamond-Grade Golden Python.

Black Shadow's fur instantly bristled. It arched its back and growled low at Golden Eye.

Without any courtesy, Ming Qiuxue kicked it square in the face. "Shut up."

"Awroo..."

With its tail dragging along the ground, Black Shadow walked aggrievedly toward Lu Mi and rubbed its head against its master's calf, seeking comfort.

Lu Mi withdrew the Dark Whip and sneered. "Pathetic."

Then he turned away mercilessly and headed toward the Single-Cell Prison.

The two prison officers followed.

-

The "Soundless Path" was removed.

Cell No. 5 was quiet. The irritating sound of someone kicking the door was gone.

Lu Mi stepped back. "Open the door."

A prison officer stepped forward and opened it.

The cell door slowly swung open. Lu Mi lowered his head and raised a hand to adjust his leather gloves. As he smoothed the wrinkles from them, he said, "0456, have you learned to behave now?"

The next second, cracks appeared across his calm expression, and Lu Mi's face changed.

After an energy user awakened, their body would undergo greater or lesser changes because of their energy source. Lu Mi's energy source was the Diamond-Grade Black Panther, so he was exceptionally sensitive to scents.

For example, right now.

Lu Mi smelled an intense stench of blood.

Lu Mi looked through the cell door. The room was neat and orderly. Yu Tu was nowhere to be seen; only the bathroom door was tightly shut, and the smell of blood came from inside.

He lifted his foot and strode toward the bathroom.

The bathroom door was locked from within. He punched straight through it, unlocked it from the inside, and opened the door.

The instant the door was pushed open, Lu Mi's brow twitched violently.

Yu Tu's officer's uniform was in complete disarray. His diamond medal had been thrown onto the floor, his sash was torn in two, and he clutched a showerhead that had been ripped off. Every patch of visible skin was covered in countless bloody marks, and even his face bore several crisscrossing claw wounds.

The most horrifying one was at the corner of his mouth, nearly slicing half his face open.

At that moment, he sat slumped in the deepest corner of the bathroom, his red eyes unfocused as he kept licking the blood seeping from his wounds with the tip of his tongue.

The shackles around his wrists and ankles clinked softly with his movements.

As he licked, Yu Tu kept saying, "...I want water... I want water..."

Perhaps sensing Lu Mi's arrival, he slowly raised his head and stared directly into Lu Mi's eyes with that expression.

"Why... won't you give me water...?"

Lu Mi's fingertips trembled violently. "Go get water!"

The prison officer behind him was terrified as well. He froze for a moment before turning and hurrying away.

Lu Mi turned sideways and said to the other prison officer, "Leave. Close the door behind you."

The door to Cell No. 5 closed, and Lu Mi walked toward Yu Tu.

He crouched down, reached around the back of Yu Tu's head, and grabbed his long hair, forcing him to tilt his head back. In a cold voice, he said,

"Yu Tu, you're my prisoner. Who gave you permission to use private punishment on yourself?"

Yu Tu tilted his head slightly. Lu Mi's face was reflected in his red eyes.

The confusion gradually faded, replaced by longing.

Delighted, he asked innocently, "I want to cuddle with you. Is that okay?"

Without waiting for Lu Mi's answer, he reached out to undo Lu Mi's belt.

Lu Mi raised a hand to stop him, and Yu Tu's tone became irritated again. "Why not?!"

Lu Mi narrowed his eyes, studying Yu Tu's expression.

"Yu Tu, do you know who I am?"

Yu Tu repeated, "Why not!"

Lu Mi leaned forward, close to Yu Tu's ear.

"Baby, do you know I'm your man?"

The cold breath loosened Yu Tu's expression slightly. His breathing quickened, and he raised both hands, almost impatiently wrapping them around Lu Mi's neck.

The icy handcuffs brushed past the Diamond-Grade energy crystal at the back of Lu Mi's neck.

Instinctively, his hair stood on end and his entire body tensed.

The Energy Crystal was the most sensitive part of every Energy Master.

Yu Tu tilted his head back to kiss him, but Lu Mi pressed a leather-gloved finger against his lips to stop him.

"Baby, don't tempt me."

"It's useless."

Lu Mi sounded as though he were speaking sweet nothings, but his voice remained utterly flat.

"I won't forget that the better you were at playing in bed, the more heartless you were out of it."

Yu Tu opened his mouth and bit down on Lu Mi's finger. His red eyes blazed with anger, clearly displeased.

Lu Mi took the opportunity to push his finger deeper, nearly reaching Yu Tu's throat.

As Yu Tu gagged, Lu Mi withdrew his hand and scooped him up around the waist.

Yu Tu struggled instinctively.

Lu Mi started walking out.

Expressionless, he said,

"Be quiet, baby. You won't be able to take violent suppression. Listen to me, okay?"
