“Don’t be nervous either. Wang-ge may look fierce, but he’s not a bad person.”
Xiao Liu seemed to have a good personality, earnestly guiding his juniors.
“Just follow me when we enter the factory later. Don’t wander around. If you accidentally offend those esteemed members of the Church…”
When he said this, he suddenly lowered his voice, as if deeply afraid of something, and didn’t continue. He just reiterated, “In short, follow me, and speak and look as little as possible.”
Esteemed members of the church?
Huo Xianfeng’s eyes narrowed.
Within the Illusory God Church, the hierarchy was extremely strict, with Archbishops, twelve Bishops, and then the disciples. However, the disciples were also divided into six or nine levels. He just didn’t know what level the disciples Xiao Liu mentioned were.
Beep—
The man took out his access card and swiped it over the sensor.
Buzz… After a slight vibration, the massive metal door slowly opened in front of them.
The pressure difference between inside and outside caused a gust of wind to blow out, bringing a strong scent of rotten flower petals. Huo Xianfeng instinctively wrinkled his eyebrows, as this smell made him very uncomfortable.
Indeed, this wasn’t the normal scent of Gardenia Roses.
He just didn’t know what kind of processing it had undergone, why the Church needed so much specially processed flower nectar, or what its purpose was.
At the same time, Jiang Ci couldn’t help but look up because the space inside was vast, with a height of over twenty meters and cylindrically sealed barrels neatly arranged on the crisscrossing metal frames.
It looked like a decrepit warehouse because almost all of the metal shelves were stained with a deep, dark red color, a hue that probably took a long time to develop after being corroded by the flower nectar.
“Normally, this kind of thing would require seven or eight people,” Xiao Liu led them inside. “But recently, the volume of nectar transportation suddenly multiplied, so we had to work harder.”
Recently, demand has doubled.

Huo Xianfeng silently noted these two keywords.

“Jbwf eq klat wf olgra. Ktf mbcmfcagjaf lr ja atf abq, rb kf cffv ab ufa la olgra.”
“Mm.”
Jiang Ci climbed up first, and Huo Xianfeng naturally followed behind.
Actually, everything seemed to be going smoothly and normally so far.
But…
The angle was a bit awkward.
Because they needed to climb the ladder, Huo Xianfeng, even if he was just climbing normally, couldn’t help but… see Jiang Ci’s butt.
Moreover, because it was someone else’s clothes, they weren’t particularly well-fitting. Huo Xianfeng was wearing the pants of a tall alpha, which was fine, but the other one was from a skinny beta, slightly shorter than Jiang Ci.
So, those pants were just… a bit tight.
Huo Xianfeng: “……”
And at this moment, Jiang Ci was also climbing the ladder. In the military, they often undergo physical training like this, so his movements appeared agile and relaxed. But probably everyone knows that, no matter how graceful the leg movements are, when humans move, the shape of the buttocks tends to twist and sway in a fascinating cycle.
Not to mention, the major general’s butt was naturally full and beautiful.
The young man’s gaze gradually deepened, his Adam’s apple rolling slightly, then stopping.
Huo Xianfeng suddenly lowered his head, took a deep breath, and waited until Jiang Ci was far away from him before continuing to climb up.
A few minutes later—
Snap.
Jiang Ci grabbed the last rail and climbed to the top. He stood firm, subconsciously turning his head to look at Huo Xianfeng, only to find that the latter had fallen quite a distance.
At this moment, Xiao Liu walked up to Jiang Ci, also somewhat surprised.
“Huh?”
In theory, an alpha’s physical strength should be much better than a beta’s, so he shouldn’t fall so far. So he turned to Jiang Ci and asked, “Strange, is your man a bit afraid of heights?”
Jiang Ci: “………..”
“?”
“?????” Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment, taking several seconds before slowly understanding what the other party was saying.
In this kind of hard labor environment, most of the lower-class people wouldn’t use elegant terms like “your husband” or “your beloved.” Instead, they’d simply say—
“Your man.”
After all, Jiang Ci emitted a strong scent of alpha pheromones, so to outsiders, he and Huo Xianfeng were an undeniable pair.
For a moment, the major general seemed like he had been paused, standing still in place.
After all, whether it was the first half of “your man” or the latter half of “afraid of heights,” both made it difficult for Jiang Ci to respond. It was like he had ten thousand words stuck in his throat, but none of them seemed appropriate.
In the end, the major general turned his head away, and there was some unnoticeable embarrassment in his movements.
“…I don’t know!”
This answer made Xiao Liu look at him strangely, then he seemed to understand something a little, squinting with a knowing smile and waving his hand.
“What’s up, having a lover’s quarrel?”
He squinted, showing a smile that said, “Those who have been through it know,” and waved his hand.
“No, no, it’s fine, it’s fine. A quarrel at the head of the bed is fine at the end of the bed.”
“……….”
Speaking of beds, Jiang Ci was even more suffocated.
The memories he had barely managed to bury resurfaced once again, the embarrassing and shameful scenes making Jiang Ci’s scalp tingle.
His most embarrassing memories, his most humiliating moments, were all because of that bed!!!
The major general covered his face with one hand, taking a deep breath. At this point, the kind-hearted Xiao Liu seemed a little worried.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Jiang Ci closed his eyes. “…I’m afraid of heights.”
Xiao Liu: “…Oh.”
Fortunately, within two minutes, Huo Xianfeng climbed up as well. However, before he could speak, he heard Jiang Ci’s slightly annoyed inquiry, “—Why are you so slow?!”
Huo Xianfeng: “……?”
He glanced at Jiang Ci with a hint of surprise.
Why is he getting mad at this?
What for?
Did he get annoyed because I climbed slowly?
lmao hou xianfeng and jiang ci are like two quarreling cats 24/7
It’s more like Jiang Ci is the hissy cat who reacts at the slightest provocation and Huo Xianfeng’s the big panther who’s just along for the ride unless he wants to tease Jiang Ci
lol yes I agree
Thank you for the chapter 😍 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
If he tells him the reason Jiang Ci will be even more mad 😭
Something tells me this two aren’t really on a top secret mission but instead on a secret getaway 😂
