"I Really Want to Be in Your Bed"

Cell 05.

Lu Mi bent down and placed Yu Tu on the single bed, then turned around.

Yu Tu's legs wrapped around his waist.

Yu Tu's feet were not bandaged up like rice dumplings, but because of his injuries, his boots had been removed. Lu Mi lowered his head and happened to see his ten pale, clean toes touching tip to tip and wriggling restlessly.

The two prison officers who had followed them in reacted as if facing a formidable enemy. They drew the enforcement batons at their waists and stared coldly at Yu Tu.

"0456, how dare you!"

Wasn't this far too blatant?

Lu Mi cast them a chilly glance. "I'm here. Is there any place for you to speak? Get out, and shut the door behind you."

"..."

The two prison officers closed the door and withdrew.

Lu Mi turned back and lowered his gaze. Yu Tu was still holding the same pose, and his eyes darkened slightly. "0456, didn't I warn you not to covet your warden?"

Yu Tu ignored Lu Mi's warning outright and licked the corner of his lips.

His red eyes brimmed with the purest desire for Lu Mi.

"Not enough... I still want more..."

The white vine above his head swayed wildly back and forth.

Lu Mi gave a derisive laugh and flicked the white vine with a raised hand.

The vine instantly turned into scattered white fragments and vanished in an instant.

He leaned down, bracing his right hand beside Yu Tu. Their faces drew infinitely close; from the side, they looked like they were flirting.

But Lu Mi's gaze was cold.

"Baby, your acting has regressed badly. It's a little hard to watch."

Lu Mi lifted a strand of Yu Tu's white hair and brought it beneath his nose for a light sniff.

"If you could bring out the same drive you had when you wanted my life, you'd already be in my bed by now."

Yu Tu thought about it seriously, then asked with sincere humility.

"Can you teach me? I really want to be in your bed."

Yu Tu tightened his legs and leaned closer to Lu Mi. Their lips brushed lightly together, and Lu Mi's expression went dazed. The next second—

"Warden Lu, I'm serious! Mm!"

Lu Mi's face darkened as he narrowed his eyes. He pulled away from Yu Tu, removed Yu Tu's legs from around his waist, then straightened up and adjusted his sleeves.

"What a pity, baby. Prisoners are only fit to be prisoners, not bedmates."

"Then not in bed!"

Yu Tu tried to reach for Lu Mi, but his rice-dumpling hands forced him to give up.

But that was fine. He had his own solution.

"Like before will do."

Lu Mi said coldly, "0456, First Prison is where you are detained, not where you get your... release."

Lu Mi turned and strode out of the cell.

"Turn on the water supply to Cell 05. Guard it strictly. Without my orders, no prison officer is permitted to visit or interrogate him in private. Any violators will be dealt with according to the law."

"Yes, Warden Lu."

When the cell door closed again, Yu Tu stared blankly at it. The white vine above his head emerged once more.

It drooped listlessly over his head.

After a while, Yu Tu slowly shifted his gaze, set his bare feet on the floor, and walked toward the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet over the sink and waited, staring at it.

Less than ten minutes later, a faint rush of water sounded from inside, followed by clean water flowing out.

Yu Tu immediately bent down, brought his mouth close, and gulped it down.

Once he had drunk his fill, Yu Tu turned off the tap, licked the corner of his lips, and rubbed his round little belly.

Then he sighed with particular regret.

"Warden Lu is still more delicious."

The white vine bobbed back and forth.

Yu Tu said, "See? Even you think so."

The environment on Calamity Planet was inherently incompatible with him. Before the warship escorting him had even landed, his entire body had already begun to feel awful.

When his boots stepped onto Calamity Planet's yellow sands, he grew even more irritable and restless.

Everything changed the instant his gaze fell upon Lu Mi.

An aura even more desirable to him than water surged from Lu Mi's body.

He instinctively felt close to him.

He wanted to get close.

He wanted him.

He wanted to do many things.

"What a pity..." Yu Tu drooped his head. "He doesn't seem to like me very much."

A long time passed...

The white vine lightly tapped the top of Yu Tu's head.

Yu Tu calmed down. He lowered his head, bit one end of the white bandage on his hand, and slowly unwound it.

Then came the white bandage around his ankle.

The bleeding had already stopped. Without the bandages in the way, the four bloody holes piercing through his bones looked especially horrifying.

Yu Tu raised his hand again and felt along the corner of his mouth, accurately finding the knot where Rete had stitched his lips. He untied it, grabbed one end of the thread, and tugged.

The pain of the stitches being pulled free made him frown lightly. But the next second, white energy patterns slowly surfaced in Yu Tu's blood-red eyes.

At the same time, countless vines finer than stitching thread emerged from his wounds and began healing him at high speed.

With a snap.

Lu Mi stepped into his warden's rest cabin.

A black shadow followed close behind.

The moment it entered, a rumbling growl came from its throat, clearly a warning.

Behind them, the cabin door shut. Lu Mi removed his officer's cap and hung it by the entrance, then took off the whip and shackles at his waist one by one before finally removing his leather gloves.

"What message did he ask you to bring?"

A hissing sound came from the corner. Golden Eye climbed up the sleek, high-tech bookshelf along its side. Only after reaching the very top did it raise its head and continue hissing.

Lu Mi looked at the black shadow.

A pet mech shared a connection with its owner and could communicate without speaking.

Golden Eye's owner was Ming Qiuxue. Lu Mi could not understand its "snake language."

But Black Shadow could.

After Golden Eye finished hissing, Black Shadow reluctantly flicked its tail before conveying Ming Qiuxue's meaning to Lu Mi.

Lu Mi listened, then gave a mocking laugh.

"Tell him not to worry. 0456 is merely one of the prisoners in my First Prison. To me, he is no different from any other prisoner. If he has ulterior motives, I'll pry his mouth open."

At the same time.

Second Prison.

Ming Qiuxue sat on the single sofa in his rest cabin, propping his chin up with one hand.

The image seen through Golden Eye was reflected in his eyes.

He heard Lu Mi's voice with perfect clarity.

Ming Qiuxue raised a brow. "I hope so."

-

Late at night, a sandstorm rose on Calamity Planet.

This natural disaster was the worst in nearly two years.

The raging sand poured into First Prison like ocean waves, leaving the serious offenders groaning in misery.

The alarm sounded, and Lu Mi headed toward the warden's monitoring room at the very back.

One wall of the monitoring room was filled with live surveillance feeds, while the console alone had more than a hundred illuminated buttons.

Because of the sandstorm, the outdoor surveillance footage was not very clear.

Lu Mi swiftly pressed several buttons, and the screen directly in front of him instantly switched to Cabin 05.

The odd-numbered cells had strong seals and were unaffected by the sandstorm.

Inside the room, Yu Tu was covered by a blanket, sleeping on his side in bed.

Lu Mi turned on the microphone and issued a cold command.

"All prison officers in First Prison, stand by..."

"Activate First Prison's first-level defense system..."

"All serious offenders in the communal cells, assemble and clear the yellow sand..."

Immediately afterward, he dressed himself in full gear at top speed and stepped out of the cabin.

Raging sand rushed at him head-on. Black energy patterns surfaced on Lu Mi's face as his Energy Source formed a faintly visible energy barrier around him.

The energy barrier blocked the raging sand outside. He walked as if on level ground toward First Prison.
