The two people gathered in the corner and quickly settled on a secret signal.
Once they entered the forest, they’d leave marks along the way to make it easier to meet up. This strategy naturally couldn’t be heard by Sirius, who was part of the Hunter team.
Considering Sirius’s impressive hearing ability, they were practicing exchanging conversation in silent mode.
Sirius: “…….”
The alienated Admiral resentfully rubbed his chin and then pulled out his personal comp to check the messages.
During this time, the Honored Prince wasn’t the only person who became a ‘web addicted youth’. Even the Admiral became someone severely dependent on the personal comp– After checking and making certain there weren’t any new messages, he felt a bit disappointed and exasperated.
After a moment of mumbling to himself, his fingers sent an uncontrollable message.
[Saw the entire thing? What did you think?]
Seeing the ‘already sent’ indication on the screen, Sirius sank into contemplation.
In the past, he never thought that one day, he would harass anyone in such a persistent and relentless way…… seeing all of the messages on the screen, he suddenly acknowledged that this kind of conduct was somewhat abnormal……
There was suddenly a chill to his back.
Sirius raised his head and just happened to see, to the side, Nalun turning his head swiftly and looking forward with a composed expression.
“……”
Sirius silently closed the screen and put away the personal comp. He asked: “Done discussing with Miss YiSi?”
Nalun: “En.”
Letting his guard down one second and Sirius was already harassing him with messages. Can he even control himself?
Beneath the depths of the Honored Prince’s eyes held a concealed disdain. Mixed in with the disdain was some pity as well– Because Sirius was destined to not get the reply that he wanted.
Nalun asked: “If you won, who do you plan to make your request to?”
Sirius didn’t answer.
Nalun continued to say: “Princess Shasha is also participating. I just saw her receive the emblem for the Prey team.”
In other words, if the Prey team won, then as a member of the Prey team, the Princess would also become a winner and obtain the rights to make a request to the losers.
The request could be all sorts of things. Naturally, there was also a bottomline.
Things like “marriage” and important matters in a person’s life, naturally, couldn’t be determined by a game. However, little requests like kissing and hugging were allowed.
And according to Princess Shasha’s personality, her request would most likely be outrageous.
As for who her target was…… there’s no suspense here.
Sirius smiled bitterly.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“The person in the team that captures the most enemies gets first pick rights.” He said with a solemn face: “Nalun, my safety depends on you. If the Prey team wins, I hope I will end up in your hands.”

Ufgtjqr abemtfv, Vlgler qgbwlrfv: “Po atf Lecafg afjw klcr, P klii jirb fcregf sbeg rjofas.”
Nalun gladly accepted his good will.
A successful agreement concluded just like this.
The Honored Prince felt extremely satisfied about this.
Not long later, the staff in charge of distributing the team emblems walked over with a tray in their hands.
The Hunter Team’s emblem had bright red as the main color. The center was a combined image of a gold lance and bow. The Prey Team’s emblem was mainly deep blue. The center was an image of a python that’s wrapped around a lion. Other than this, the participants must all wear the same provided uniform.
Nalun accepted the python lion emblem and planned to change clothes in the dressing room.
Sirius had the same plan: “Going to change clothes?”
Nalun nodded.
Thus, the two people exchanged a look and walked towards the dressing room together.
The staff: “????” Oh fck this sudden, strange atmosphere.
The dressing room was very big. The inside was separated into countless little cubicles. Nalun randomly picked one. After entering, he swiftly changed clothes.
When changing his clothes, his memories were reawakened once again by the addition on his left nipple. The wound already stopped hurting. The round ring seemed to have grown together with the flesh. If he wanted to take it off, it would undoubtedly result in a new wave of suffering.
The pain halted him from doing anything further. Before finding a painless method to take off the ring, he had to make do for the moment.
The Honored Prince buttoned up and silently cursed Sirius out again. In addition, he became even more determined to win the competition.
As for the reward in the end…… he has already prepared several options.
Make Sirius put on a dress and run around the Imperial Capital. Order Sirius to make the Lanhua gesture and act coquettish towards him. Make Sirius drink something spicy and then apologize to him in tears…… The Imperial Admiral’s misfortunate look will be forever ingrained in Nalun’s heart.
Looking silently at a certain someone, whose expression turned slightly deranged after coming out of the cubicle, Sirius spoke up and reminded: “It’s about to start.”
Nalun curbed his expression and nodded his head coolly.
Under his calm and composed exterior concealed a restless, eager heart.
Two transport planes were parked outside. The planes had the team’s respective emblems. A few minutes later, they will carry all of the hunting competition participants to the largest forest area in the hunting grounds.
Before parting, Nalun imperceptibly looked around the vicinity.
“Where are your lap dogs?”
“They’re my friends.” Sirius was somewhat exasperated, but he still replied: “Andrew is not participating. Diya is probably already waiting inside.” He pointed at a transport plane and then asked: “I haven’t seen Alida for a while. Is he okay?”
Alida……
Whenever Nalun thought about this practically vanished little friend, he felt extremely complicated.
All of the messages and calls he sent to Alida were answered by the underclassman.
This extremely ‘committed’ and vigorous underclassman was terrifyingly overbearing. If Alida didn’t secretly send him a video call a few while ago, Nalun was even about to suspect his little friend had been kidnapped with evil intent.
Alida looked very haggard. Whether mentally or physically, there’s a strong sense of depletion.
The video call was only a short ten minutes. Other than the courteous regards at the start, Alida spent the entire time narrating the relationship development between he and the underclassman.
At first Nalun was actually pretty worried. After listening to the end, he already became numb.
In short, Alida probably sank into self doubt and denial– The underclassman was a man. This was something very hard for him to accept.
However, Nalun was unable to sympathize or understand Alida’s conflict. Dating and marriage stopped being related to gender a long time ago. Love was the most important requirement in developing a relationship between two people. It’s actually very rare to see people like Alida, getting conflicted over gender.
Alida very quickly corrected himself, saying actually his conflict wasn’t over the gender issue.
Nalun asked: Then what is the problem?
Alida instantly started stammering and beating around the bush.
Nalun: “……” It was rare to see his little friend act so bashful and shy. A light flashed in his head. He suddenly understood: “You were topped by him?”
Alida blinked and looked at him in confusion. Half a moment later, he roared: “How can that be!”
He looked very shocked, but it wasn’t fury from humiliation. Nalun was somewhat disappointed. Looks like his guess was wrong: “Oh, alright.”
Alida immediately expressed his ‘position’ righteously and with conviction. Also, he hinted that the underclassman loved him unswervingly and desperately.
Nalun scoffed: “Since he listens to you so much, why don’t you return to the Imperial City right now.”
Alida couldn’t reply.
Nalun asked: “You don’t like him?”
Alida hesitated.
Nalun instantly felt very annoyed.
“I…I don’t know……” Alida hung his head: “His love is too full. I almost can’t breathe.”
Nalun: “……”
In the end, he still didn’t understand what Alida was conflicting over. From a bystander point of view, his little friend was clearly in a state of budding spring love, worried over personal gains and losses, and feigning resistance. However, Alida didn’t seem to realize this himself.
Nalun reluctantly got ready to remind him. Unexpectedly, Alida’s roar just now attracted the underclassman’s attention and caused him to enter the room to investigate.
This was a very exquisite and refined man. In both dress and conduct, he emitted a meticulous and unique aura. He was an entire head shorter than Alida. However, even when speaking with his head tilted up, his imposing presence completely towered above his friend.
Immediately afterwards, the video went black. The call was cut off.
Nalun: “……” Was his friend’s 1.86 meters of height just for show? Didn’t Alida just receive a glare from the underclassman? Yet he immediately ended the call with a shake of his hand!
— Alida’s relationship consultant… would probably faint in anger.
Therefore, when asked about the well being of his friend, Nalun spoke in an exhausted tone: “Him? Probably on his honeymoon right now.”
Sirius: “……”
In the end, Nalun gave Sirius a smile: “Good luck.”
Sirius patted his shoulder and returned the blessing.
After parting, Nalun stepped into the transport plane imprinted with the python and lion image. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a certain figure currently peeking out from behind the door, acting suspiciously.
The General’s daughter noticed Nalun’s gaze and brushed aside her exposed bangs. Then she returned inside the plane like nothing had happened.
Nalun: “……”
He strangely felt this female streamer was really not simple at all.
Mona actually changed a while ago and climbed into the transport plane already.
She moved rather quickly. Therefore, after boarding the plane, she still needed to wait for the others. She had already voluntarily handed over the equipment she needed to live stream to the Honored Prince. However, this didn’t smother her desire to gossip– even if right now, she could only use her eyes to capture and record every scene.
And Nalun was undoubtedly one of the scenes she wanted to capture the most.
When placed in their palms, the provided uniform was only a black bundle. When worn, however, it was unexpectedly fitting. This kind of mobile clothes was very flexible. Furthermore, it was very elegant and form fitting. Even very fussy people would have a hard time trying to find fault here.
It made Nalun look even more stunning.
— Wearing the same clothes… was the best way to determine people’s different attractiveness
Naturally, other than examining the outer appearance, contrast to each other was also important. Recalling the view just now of the Admiral walking over together with the Honored Prince, Mona couldn’t resist giving an aunty smile.
After Nalun settled down, the male host, who changed clothes, also came inside. This was a 40 some years old man with coarse brunette short hair that looked very tidy and neat.
He emphasized the rules to the crowd once more.
“All in all, safety is most important in this game. There are countless cameras distributed inside the forest. Don’t act indecently, otherwise editor Larry’s wicked humor will make you guys regret it.”
He held up a certain small object in his hand and introduced it, saying: “This is a signal device. If something dangerous happens, immediately press the button on it. We will arrive within 3 minutes. Of course this also means that the total number of your team will decrease by one.”
The signal devices were distributed into everyone’s hands. After a moment of examination, Nalun placed it on his thumb.
Not long afterwards, with a slight tremble, the plane started on its journey. The location of the forest was near the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, far from civilization. However with the proper transportation, this distance was insignificant.
Nalun leaned against the soft seat, planning to relax during the short trip. However, he suddenly felt a faint pinch on his shin.
He furrowed his brows, suspecting the discomfort was caused by an issue with the clothes’ material.
A little while later, there was also a pinch on his arm.
Ah, I see, I see. I’m starting to understand the need for the warning about the author not understanding nipple rings.
Hmm, maybe the underclassman is an insectoid and that’s why Alida is conflicted?
If that was the case then he’s reaction wouldn’t be this mild..
