Beep... Beep*

Jun De grimaced at the sound coming from his bracelet. Attempting to ignore it, Jun De leaned down to kiss Taio Ru once more.

Unfortunately, Taio Ru wasn't as keen on ignoring the beeping. "What's that? Is someone calling you?" Taio Ru asked. Removing his arms from Jun De's neck.

Jun De have a long deep sigh as he pulled away from Taio Ru. "It's a call from the entrance. Someone is here." Jun De said as he opened the bracelets interface.

"Who?" Asked Taio Ru as he felt his body tense.

Beep*

"Hey Marshal! How's things going with Taio Ru? We came by to check in and see how everything was going." Exclaimed lieutenant Laohu over the video call the moment it connected.

Jun De gave lieutenant Laohu a cold look ready.

"Whoa! If looks could kill, man. What's got you so angry? Don't tell me things aren't going well with Taio Ru? Well whatever it is just give permission so we can land and I'll cheer him up for you. We've brought a ton load of his favourite fruit and some other goodies we think he might like. Right lieutenant Wuya?" Lieutenant Laohu said ignoring the fact Jun De was obviously unhappy.

Jun De was about to hang up and refuse his request to land, but Taio Ru popped out on screen.

"Fruit? What kind?" Taio Ru said a look of intrigue on his face.

"F***! Is that you Taio Ru? Man you look different in your human form. Hey Marshal you gotta let us in now." Lieutenant Laohu exclaimed when he saw Taio Ru's face.

Jun De really wanted to refuse, but Taio Ru looked at him with his sparkling eyes and he could only give in.

"Tch..." clicking his tongue Jun De accepted the request allowing the two lieutenants to land on the personal island.

...

"Hey, Taio Ru! Wow, you look different from what I expected." Lieutenant Laohu said.

"What did you expect?" Taio Ru retorted furrowing his brow.

"I don't know. Just, I thought you'd be shorter. No, younger... this is hard. I just didn't expect you to look like this." Lieutenant Laohu answered as he looked Taio Ru up and down.

Jun De glared at Lieutenant Laohu as he stepped between the two.

"Haha, what's this? Don't tell me your jealous. Marshal come on, I've no interest in your little snake." Lieutenant Laohu said looking pitiful.

"What's wrong with my little snake?" Jun De asked grimacing.

"?!" Lieutenant Laohu didn't know what to say. He just stood there in shock.

"Marshal, we've brought some fruit." Lieutenant Wuya interrupted, walking past lieutenant Laohu.

Hearing the word fruit, Taio Ru popped out from behind Jun De. "What kind?" He asked curiously.

"There are a few types you've eaten before on the ship, as well as a few new ones only available here on Capital one.

"New ones? Let me see." Taio Asked moving closer.

"Love, let's go inside first before you start looking through them." Jun De said as he wrapped his arm around Taio Ru's waist. The four of them headed towards the house.

"Psst... lieutenant Wuya, is it just me or does it smell like vinegar?" Lieutenant Laohu whispered.

Unfortunately, lieutenant Laohu's voice was naturally loud.
