Interstellar Farming: I Make Potions and Climb to the Top
Chapter 326: Thoroughly Doted On
"No," Ning Xuan said, her tone gentle, but Yun Han only hugged her tighter.
"Commander, you’re back. This is..." Wang Qing, the aide who handled Ning Xuan’s personal affairs, trailed off, looking hesitantly at Yun Han.
’Yun Han’s guard went up the moment he heard the man’s tone. He looked up at the speaker, but relaxed upon seeing Wang Qing’s face. ’He’s too plain. There’s no way Ning Xuan would be interested in him.’’
"This is Ning Han, the new caregiver I requested. He will be responsible for my daily affairs from now on. All access privileges for this residence will be granted to him. Come by tomorrow afternoon to complete the handover. In the future, he will arrange your work, and you will report directly to him." After speaking, Ning Xuan carried Yun Han into the inner courtyard.
From Ning Xuan’s embrace, Yun Han turned his head to look at Wang Qing and saw a look of bitter resentment on his face.
"Why do you think Commander Ning wanted Ning Han to be her caregiver?" the staff at the medical center began to gossip after Ning Xuan left with Yun Han.
"I heard that many of those high-ranking officers, the ones who serve long-term in the military without a Contractor to soothe them, become quite perverted. They torture good-looking, weak-willed men to vent their lust. The men who are tormented... it’s a miserable existence, often a fate worse than death," a female Doctor said with an excited expression.
"Is that true? You’ve never been in the military, how would you know?" someone asked doubtfully.
"The ones who are badly tortured and severely injured have to come to our medical center for treatment, right? We’re new, so we haven’t seen much, but Director Hou and the Dean must know about it. Go ask them if you don’t believe me," the female Doctor said with conviction.
All eyes turned to Dean Ding and Hou Yan.
Hou Yan glanced at Dean Ding. "That sort of thing did happen in the past, but military discipline on the base has been strict these past few years, so such awful incidents don’t occur anymore. Generally, any relationships are consensual. However, Commander Ning is so audacious... with her, who knows what might happen."
"That’s horrible! Ning Han is so frail, and Commander Ning is so aggressive. What if she actually abuses him? Ning Han would probably rather die."
Right now, Yun Han did feel like he was about to die—but from pleasure. Waves of passion crashed through him, a drowning ecstasy that threatened to swallow his very consciousness.
His face was covered, wrapped tightly in a shirt Ning Xuan had removed. It was a protective undershirt made from a hyper-elastic fabric that fit like a second skin when worn. Stretched over Yun Han’s head, it was just as taut, leaving no gaps.
The scent of Ning Xuan lingered on the fabric, filling his nostrils. The shirt’s properties robbed him of his sight and hearing, and even his breathing became difficult and strained.
His hands were bound behind him, his waist arched back as he was forced to lie face-up on a bed. The loss of sight and hearing heightened his other senses. Ning Xuan’s hands roamed over his body, kneading wantonly and quickly stoking his desire. A sharp sting on his neck—Ning Xuan had bitten him, breaking the skin.
Ever since her sexual awakening, Ning Xuan had never lacked for partners. Even if this current body was young and her own libido wasn’t strong, it didn’t stop the men around her from competing for her affection. She had never gone this long without.
After awakening her second Companion Spirit, her physical desires seemed to have grown stronger. Her stamina and endurance had increased significantly as well. On top of that, she had been constantly fighting on the battlefield recently, killing countless Star Beasts. The violent aura from her Ghost-faced Red Vine was also affecting her mood.
Ning Xuan was intimately familiar with Yun Han’s body. Aided by her Ghost-faced Red Vine, she manipulated him with practiced ease. Yun Han felt as if both his body and soul were under her complete control; he could only accept whatever she chose to give.
It was like a reunion with a long-lost friend, like a downpour after a long drought. Even though Yun Han was suppressing his true power, his body was still fundamentally SS-level. Because of this, Ning Xuan indulged her desires completely, holding nothing back.
The next afternoon, Yun Han was awakened by the robot butler. "Young Master Yun, Major General Ning is attending a celebratory banquet tonight and has requested your presence. Lieutenant Wang Qing has delivered your formal attire for the evening and is currently outside, requesting an audience."
Yun Han sat up groggily. He was dressed in a loose-fitting set of pajamas. Through the wide collar, purple bruises were visible all around his collarbones and neck. The marks from the restraints on his wrists had faded to faint imprints. And while certain parts of his body were still a bit swollen and sore, he was, on the whole, glowing with vitality.
Most notably, the black pollutants that had been coiled within his Spiritual Sea were completely gone, and the deviant genes running rampant in his blood had also been purged. He felt incredibly light in both body and mind. The feeling of relief was so profound it seemed to unfurl his entire being from the inside out.
So when Wang Qing saw him, he was completely stunned. ’I just saw him yesterday. His face is the same, so why does he feel like a completely different person?’
Most of the clothes Yun Han had in his Space Button didn’t suit his current status, so he went to find something in Ning Xuan’s closet.
Ning Xuan’s build was somewhat slighter than Yun Han’s, so he picked out a loose-fitting set of loungewear.
Wang Qing looked at Yun Han and could tell at a glance that the clothes he was wearing belonged to Ning Zhi. Seeing Yun Han’s languid expression and the unmistakable marks on his neck, it was obvious he had been thoroughly cherished by Ning Xuan.
The man who had been so resentful yesterday now couldn’t muster a shred of jealousy. Simply by sitting there, this person made him feel inadequate. ’His face isn’t even that handsome, but there’s something about him that’s just... exceptional.’
"Mr. Ning, this is the formal wear Major General Ning had custom-made for you. The celebration banquet is at 7:30 tonight at the Lotus Fragrance Building. The Major General will send a car to pick you up then."
Wang Qing, his attitude now calm, gave Yun Han a brief report. "This is a summary of my daily duties. I will be reporting to you from now on. Is there anything else you would like to know?"
"’Just keep doing what you’ve been doing. There’s no need to report to me unless something unusual happens.’ Wang Qing was responsible for various household chores, and he seemed competent. Yun Han had no intention of getting involved."
’Given Ning Xuan’s position, she could be deployed to the battlefield at any moment. He just wanted to spend time with her; he had neither the time nor the inclination to manage a bunch of trivial chores.’
"Yes." Wang Qing replied respectfully and departed.
’Ning Zhi’s military rank was rising incredibly fast; he had long since stopped daring to covet him. He’d be content if he could just remain by her side as a personal assistant.’
