Looking at his brother who had fallen into a strange silence, Avid was also at a loss for words.

Seeing how possessive Audrose's spiritual body was towards that black-haired slave, he originally thought that what should have happened had already happened, but...

Under normal circumstances, if the spiritual body was in that state, the relationship should have indeed been confirmed.

Dragons are animals that like to express intimacy through physical communication. When it comes to emotions, their desires are relatively strong, and the form of the spiritual body will inversely affect the owner from a higher dimensional space. So once they encounter someone they like, abstinence is very difficult.

Although he knew that there was a problem with his brother's spiritual body, the current situation still exceeded his expectations a bit.

Not only the spiritual body, but even Audrose himself had already shown unmistakable possessiveness in his behavior, yet he was still dull and did nothing?

It shouldn't be like this...

Could it be that there really is a problem with the function of certain parts? But he had analyzed Audrose's gene map and concluded that except for emotional defects, Audrose should be at an excellent level or above in other aspects.

Perhaps he had overlooked something... Should he go back and do a genetic analysis again?

Although he knew that some problems couldn't be seen with the naked eye, Avid couldn't help but glance at that place a couple more times.

He had to say, it still looks quite practical.

The next second, Avid felt a chill on the top of his head. He looked up and met his brother's eyes, which seemed to be able to form ice, a deep blue.

The oppression brought by high-level spiritual power followed like a shadow, indicating that the owner was already on the verge of anger. Avid had sufficient reason to believe that if he dared to look one more time, he would be picked up and immediately beaten.

He was just a delicate researcher who needed to be carefully cherished and could not endure such pain.

Avid shrank his head, observing his nose and heart like a quail, curled up obediently in the corner of the wall. A few minutes later, feeling that the atmosphere was not so cold, he cautiously raised his head.

Audrose had his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, not a joyful arc.

"Brother." Avid called out tentatively.

Audrose glanced at him and said the first word after a long silence, "Speak."

Avid asked, "Have you touched that little slave?"

Audrose: "..."

Avid asked with a last glimmer of hope, "Then have you k-kissed?"

Audrose: "..."

Avid: "..." The problem is a bit big, he's flustered.

Without answering the question, Audrose kicked his butt with the tip of his foot and said indifferently, "Get in the mecha."

Avid covered his butt and gave his brother a pitiful look, "Can I not?"

Audrose thought for a moment and actually agreed, "You can."

As he spoke, he reached out and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, looking like he was going to teach him a physical lesson.

"..." Avid: "Wait, wait, wait, I'll get in right away--"

Two minutes later, Avid crawled out of his mecha with another broken leg, his head dizzy, and stared blankly at his mecha lying on the ground.

The cost of repairing two legs was really too high. Rather than spending so much money to repair it, it was better to directly buy a new one.

Thinking of the price of a mecha, Avid couldn't help but feel melancholy. Although on the surface it seemed that he was eating the imperial family's salary while also receiving a high salary from the research institute and should be very wealthy, in fact, because he had invested all his money into a certain confidential project, he really didn't have much savings...

After buying a new mecha, he would be almost broke.

Audrose leaned against the wall, his icy blue eyes fixed on a point in the void, quietly thinking about something.

After solemnly mourning his wallet, Avid bravely stood up on his still-shaking legs, moved to Audrose's side, and called out to him, "Brother..."

Audrose was almost developing a shadow over these two words. He took a deep breath and told himself that if he hit this brother again, he would be crippled, before he managed to control his hands.

He turned his head and met Avid's emerald green eyes.

This time, Avid's expression was unusually serious. He earnestly advised in the tone of an experienced person, "Brother, you have to be a bit more frank. If you like someone, you should just take them first and talk later. You can't just keep them like this. What if, while you're keeping them, someone else takes the lead?"

Audrose: "..."

Indeed, still.

Want to hit this brother of his--

......

After packing up his brother and his mecha with two broken legs and sending them away, His Royal Highness finally obtained a brief moment of peace.

He completed a whole set of daily mecha training alone. Under the highest intensity standard training, even he sweated a bit. He put away the mecha and took a simple shower in the bathroom attached to the training room.

In the flowing water, Audrose slicked his wet, light golden hair back, wiped the water on his face, and suddenly remembered the last thing his brother said before being packed and thrown out.

Like?

... Not sure.

Perhaps because he was born lacking this aspect in his genes, Audrose had never developed feelings of liking for anyone in his life.

He really didn't know what it felt like to like someone.

From the first moment he saw the little slave, Audrose wanted to take him home, keep him by his side at all times, within his range of perception. He couldn't bear to see him get hurt, nor could he bear to see him crying and hiccuping.

So he just naturally did these things without thinking deeply about the reason.

If Avid hadn't reminded him -- although the way he reminded him made him want to directly end this brother -- he might have taken a considerable amount of time to consider this point on his own.

Compared to the cases in the textbooks, his actions indeed resembled the situations that would occur when one liked someone, but there was a very important point: he had never developed a physical desire for the little slave.

He could certainly confirm that his body was healthy, because during the appropriate periods, he also had reactions and relieved himself. But other than normal physiological patterns, he was very calm at other times.

For the first time in his life, Audrose felt a bit troubled by his indifference in certain aspects.

That afternoon and evening, Audrose did not summon the little slave before him. Perhaps he needed some time to think about what exactly was going on with himself.

It was not until late at night that Audrose, who had not come up with any results, went to bed, deciding to leave the questions to himself tomorrow.

But what he didn't know was that after he fell asleep, a huge figure appeared out of thin air in his bedroom. Its body dematerialized and passed through layers of walls, sniffing along the scent left during the day, and finally stopped in front of a door next to the mech training room.

Because its entire body was composed of the master's spiritual power, the tightly guarded door locks were almost non-existent in front of it. It casually scratched off a scale and stuffed it into the verification space of the door lock, and the door was soon silently opened a crack.

The dragon quietly squeezed its head through the crack, its two icy blue beast pupils like ghost fires in the dark.

Su Duan, who was awakened by the system prompt on the bed, quietly stared at it for a few seconds and said to the system, "This big guy who won't return the pollen is here again."

System: "..."

The system said, "Don't worry, host. The system's privacy protection program is detected to be all normal—"

Without waiting for the system to finish, looking at the beast pupils getting closer and closer, Su Duan reached out his hand and slowly stroked the dense scales on the dragon's cheek according to the outline he had recorded during the day.

The dragon's round beast pupils contracted slightly. After being stunned for a few seconds, it gently swayed its head with a very small range of motion relative to its huge body size, and its muzzle rubbed against Su Duan's palm as if it was acting coquettishly.

In the dead of night, Su Duan took advantage of the fact that Audrose could not receive the memories of the spiritual body and cursed it in a low voice, "Bad thing."

The bad thing rubbed against his palm for a while, and suddenly there was a warm and slippery sensation on Su Duan's fingertips.

Su Duan blinked, and it was not until that strange sensation enveloped his entire back of the hand that he belatedly realized it was the dragon's tongue sticking out.

Su Duan: "..." Then isn't his hand covered in saliva now?

Although he knew that this "saliva" was actually Audrose's spiritual power, it still felt strange...

When the warm tongue licked between his fingers, Su Duan, who was afraid of being tickled, retracted his hand and shrank into the quilt.

The dragon, which had lost its object to lick, stopped there, its pupils having changed from the previous sharp line to a flat and round shape like an olive, and its pure black pupils without a trace of impurities stared tightly at the small figure on the bed.

Dilated pupils are a sign that a beast is starting to get excited.

The dragon stared at Su Duan for a while, then suddenly lowered its head and familiarly lifted the quilt that had been dragging to the corner of the bed with its nose.

"...Bad thing." Su Duan scolded with a crying tone.

He was originally a polite good herb, it was all Audrose's fault that he learned to curse at people.
