The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine is an OCh41.1 - Marking (1)

Translator: ChiFu

From chapter 40.2: Wen Mingyu leapt from Mu Zhan’s hand and hauled his clothing into the nest to put them on; expecting Mu Zhan to leave was out of the question. F7mo6U

It was tricky to put on, and because it was barely donned beneath the covers, it was a little sloppy, so Mu Zhan assisted him in tidying it neatly before lifting him up and stating, “Return outdoors in a cloud of dust; go and bathe.”

Wen Mingyu: “…???”

Then why bother making a needless effort to get him dressed, just to have him revert to human form in the bathing pool?

Wen Mingyu was taken to the pool before he could protest. He wasn’t even given the option to decline. PXb4QN

Like a pet owner dumping their soiled outdoor-playing pet into the bathtub.

Wen Mingyu got this peculiar feeling for no apparent reason, and the moment it struck, he cringed at his own mental slip-up and shook his head to clear it from his mind.

They were riding all the way home, so there was indeed a lot of dust. Wen Mingyu also wanted to clean his body; it’s just that…

He looked at Mu Zhan.

The other man turned to face him as well, and as their eyes met, neither of them made a move.

Wen Mingyu didn’t hint at him but rather made it clear. “…Your Majesty is not going out?”

Mu Zhan stated plainly, “This one is here to watch,” without flinching.

Wen Mingyu: “…” 5vLX9U

Mu Zhan, however, grabbed his wrist. Even if he wanted to, it was difficult for him to back off.

Mu Zhan smiled wryly. “You currently have no credit in this one’s heart, therefore, you must stand by his side no matter what he does—unless you decide to skip baths in the future.”

Wen Mingyu was struck dumb and lost his tongue.

Mu Zhan inquired again, “Bathing?” gZNEBr

He wasn’t joking, which was obvious to Wen Mingyu. He remained motionless for a moment before returning to reality and asking, “No matter what you do…must I then follow His Majesty when he pays a visit to the bathroom?”

Wen Mingyu’s response after hearing what Mu Zhan had declared was not at all what Mu Zhan had anticipated. Instead of responding, he asked with a complicated expression. “What do you say?”

Naturally understanding the meaning, Wen Mingyu said once more, “So Your Majesty will also have to watch when I go to the bathroom?”

A fake look of surprise. He cast an unbelieving glance at him, as if to say——there is actually such absurdity in this world.  I7ewoA

“Close your mouth,” Mu Zhan sternly said as the corner of his eyebrow jumped.

Then, it appeared as though he didn’t care to engage Wen Mingyu in pointless conversation.

He directly reached out and undid Wen Mingyu’s waistband. As the restraint was removed, the skirt automatically dropped and the lapels spread open, exposing the white, thin garments inside. The strength of the tug was not small, and there was even a noticeable sound of fabric tearing. In such a setting, an unfathomable sense of unverbalized sensuality was around the corner.

At the moment of stupidity, Wen Mingyu was stripped of everything except his intimate garments by Mu Zhan. In the cloud of warm vapor, the cloth was softly damp, hazily revealing an ineffable beauty. trhlPw

Wen Mingyu’s previously present cunning composure vanished, and he grabbed Mu Zhan’s hands, his ears flushed red. “Stop! I’ll manage on my own!”

Because of the ups and downs of emotions, the fruity pheromones had a stronger smell.

With the sweet scent that permeated the area, Mu Zhan’s face softened, and his brows relaxed as a result. He didn’t really continue to strip Wen Mingyu; instead, he took his hand and changed from being passive to active, squeezing and fidgeting with it.

“No need for this one’s help?” Xh7cDz

“No need!” Wen Mingyu answered without thinking. His fingers, which were being continuously kneaded and rubbed, were the only thing he could pay attention to. His whole hand was wrapped around his, making him feel uneasy. Half of his body appeared to be numb. Worse, he was dressed too little in comparison to Mu Zhan, who was neatly dressed, and they were standing right next to the pool.

Wen Mingyu’s face was almost as red as a tomato as the rich pheromone with the flavor of wine overwhelmed him. He took a rapid step back, faced his back at Mu Zhan, swiftly undressed, and dove into the pool.

Although he can dodge this if he transforms into a lop-eared rabbit, he will also have certain traits of a rabbit in that form, such as a fear of water. The sensation of having his fur wet makes him uneasy, and he cannot resist flailing his claws and swimming to shore; he simply cannot take a bath.

Mu Zhan by the bath, as he had previously stated, remained here to keep an eye on him. He was currently stretched out idly on a long couch by the pool, similar to the lounge chair on the beach in the future. However, this one was undoubtedly more sophisticated and ornate, which greatly enhanced Mu Zhan’s imperial grandeur. IpsC7S

Initially uneasy, Wen Mingyu eventually forgot about Mu Zhan’s existence due to how comfortable the large, lavish bathing pool was. Going out for so many days merely to take a quick bath in a small tub was inconvenient. He is afraid that the opulent lifestyle of the feudalist nobility has corrupted him, because he was almost like a blob of jelly in the shape of a lop-eared rabbit, reclining down with particular pleasure.

When in a good mood, the pheromones all turn sheepishly sweet.

The figure in the bath was similarly lost in a foggy mist. Through a layer of chiffon, the warm lotus and the snow-white congealed fat were visible. The mind subconsciously sketches a portrait of a fairy beauty in the fairy-filled wonderland…

The water was crystal clear. 3sZPDz

Mu Zhan abruptly stood up and entered the water as well; his throat slightly rolled.

For a while, Wen Mingyu was so warm and cozy that he was oblivious to what was going on outside the pool. By the time he heard the water flowing, it was already too late to react.

Mu Zhan was behind him in a flash, wrapped his arms around his waist, and embraced him.

The pheromones from the rich wine hit like a thick web descending overhead, casting a shadow figure on him.The person in the center resembled a prey desperately trying to flee, but in vain. tETid0

The fruity scent wafting from his body drew Mu Zhan in. Without hesitation, he followed his instincts and bowed his head, sealing his lips with a kiss. He ripped them open and tore through them with such intensity. Wen Mingyu was taken aback by his ferocity and was forced to raise his head to accommodate, yet he couldn’t breathe.

Mu Zhan nevertheless noticed and gripped his chin, forcing him to open his lips to inhale.

His other hand pressed against his nape, where the fruity scent was coming from.

Mu Zhan had no knowledge of ABO, but his possessiveness toward Wen Mingyu was acting out, especially in light of the escape episode. He was restless. He wanted to do something about it. QA087I

Kisses and hugs weren’t sufficient either. 

He bit down hard all of a sudden on the gland on his nape, and the pheromones with the flavor of wine aggressively penetrated, like he was claiming his own territory. 

This was the first time Wen Mingyu was awake while temporarily marked. The sensation was far more acute than he had imagined, leaving him at a loss. His slender, white fingers curled up as he unconsciously reached out to take  hold of something, but all they managed to hold was a mist of air.

From behind him, a hand reached out and caught his hand. One by one, the fingers pressed into his own and interlocked them. 5Er3AR

Wen Mingyu glanced up toward the sky with a delirious mind. A tall figure trapped him, his face buried in the side of his neck like a blood-sucking vampire hunting in the dead of night. He trembled, and he lost his voice.
