Chapter 130
TL: Sarah
When he woke up from his deep sleep, Shang Ke thought for a moment that he was in a pile of magma, hot and sticky. Yonis held him tightly like a pillow with his head pressed against his chest. His gentle breathing brushed against his skin, making that area warmer than others. With just a little movement, he could feel their skin rubbing against each other.
At the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a golden figure. Like his master, the lion of Yonis was lying on his side with a satisfied expression. Waves emerged from his arms and just as he lifted his head, he was pushed back by a paw.
Meanwhile, Yonis’ head nuzzled Shang Ke’s chest for a while, his mouth murmuring nonexistent words.
Where was that bit of vigilance of a high-ranking sentinel in this relaxed and self-indulgent look?
Running his hands around Yonis’ neck, Shang Ke seemed to be looking for the best place to cut his throat with a knife.
“Is it fun?” Yonis’ languid voice suddenly sounded near Shang Ke’s ear with some teasing, “I think it’s faster to directly stab the heart than through the neck.” He said, placing Shang Ke’s hand over his heart.
Shang Ke shook his head and denied, “Your skin’s too thick while the neck in contrast is fragile.”
“Can I take the meaning of ‘too thick skin’ as ‘muscular’?” Yonis showed off his strong physique. After a night of passion, the man’s body seemed to have absorbed rich nutrition and his muscles looked particularly healthy, full and shiny.
Did the bond of a sentinel and guide have the effect of improving one’s beauty and fitness?
Just then, Shang Ke felt the man stirring again and he hurriedly said, “I feel sick all over and want to take a bath.”
“Alright.” Yonis didn’t leave Shang Ke’s body and with their lower bodies still connected, he carried him to the bathroom. With every step he took, their connected parts also collided gently.
Yonis pressed Shang Ke against the wall, turned on the shower nozzle, and held his waist with one hand as he wiped him with a fragrant soap with the other.
“Uh … I can wash myself …” Shang Ke really couldn’t stand Yonis’ exuberant energy.
“Okay, just a second.” Yonis bit his ear in a soothing way. After several violent thrusts, a stream of heat sprayed inside Shang Ke.
Yonis breathed heavily and didn’t withdraw immediately. He waited for both of them to finish washing before reluctantly pulling out.
(myQnote : wonder what's the use of washing up then if they still "connected")
He gently stroked Shang Ke’s lips and whispered, “Maybe it won’t be long before we have a new life.”
Shang Ke was surprised and suddenly remembered that most guides in this world could get pregnant. However, male guides couldn’t give birth directly. Instead, they could produce a seed which was then cultivated by technological means outside of the body.
The survival rate of a male guide’s embryo was very low but if they succeeded in cultivating it, the child would basically inherit the excellent genes of the parents. With the spiritual strength and physical qualities of Yonis and Shang Ke, their offspring had a 45% chance each of becoming either a Dark Sentinel or a guide, while the chance of genetic variation was no greater than 10%.
Shang Ke had never thought of leaving a child behind before, at least not until he had finished all the missions of this world.
“Hmmm?” When Yonis didn’t get a response, he raised his eyes and looked at him intensely, “Shang Ke, would you like to? Nurture a new life with me. “
Shang Ke was silent for a while, then asked, “Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?”
Yonis responded, “If you are willing, I’ll listen to the truth. If you don’t, I’ll listen to the lie. “
Shang Ke: …Well, you’re good at the word game.
Yonis bowed his head and kissed Shang Ke’s eyes, “This isn’t urgent. We’ll decide after you think it over. But if you do get pregnant, don’t give up on him. “
Shang Ke nodded. He also couldn’t bear to give up the child he had conceived with his lover. It seemed that in the future, they could only try to reduce the number of times having sex as much as possible. Even if they wanted to do it, they had to take safety measures!
However, how could Yonis, who had just had his first taste of the forbidden fruit, reduce the frequency of sex? As for safety measures, whoever remembers it can do it.
By the time the two of them had gotten ready, it was past lunchtime. Shang Ke cooked several simple dishes, each one was abundant, especially the rice. And as he expected, Yonis’ appetite had doubled after their fierce exercise, he ate four persons worth of food in one sitting which was twice his usual capacity.
After checking his own physical condition, Shang Ke found that he had no other problems except for some soreness. It seemed that bonding with Yonis was also beneficial to his own body, which was most likely the benefit of achieving more than 95% compatibility. The guide could provide a sentinel with the most appropriate treatment and extreme enjoyment, while the sentinel could improve a guide’s physique in the process of bonding. This is so that both sides could reach the best state to fit each other.
At this time, Shang Ke received a message from the Guide Labor Union, informing him to go to the union tomorrow for a guide grade test. Before, because of his relationship with Yonis, Shang Ke only recorded his guide element (equivalent to the spiritual DNA of a guide) in the union and didn’t carry out a specific grade test.
However, he cured Monroe, a Rank A Dark Sentinel with violent spiritual elements yesterday, which not only caused an uproar among the Dark Sentinels but also inevitably attracted the attention of the Guide Labor Union. The news that there was the first guide in history to be able to reach a 90% agreement with a Rank A Dark Sentinel was undoubtedly shocking. And there were rumors that he was suitable for all types of Dark Sentinels. Although Dark Sentinels in theory didn’t need the help of guides, was it not because they couldn’t find any guides who fit them? Whether they were ordinary sentinels or Dark Sentinels, the guide was an extremely important part to their existence, both physically and spiritually.
“These guys are really quick.” Yonis snorted coldly. Although he was a little unhappy, he didn’t stop Shang Ke from testing. If it had been yesterday, he may have still been agitated but after someone’s nourishment, he became exceptionally magnanimous.
The next day, Yonis took Shang Ke to the Guide Labor Union. As soon as they got off the bus, they received the eyes of inquiry from all sides.
Yonis shrouded Shang Ke in his spiritual field for protection and for the convenience of declaring ownership to others.
It’d been spread out that the Labor Union would have a special guide to test today who was suitable for Dark Sentinels. Those who received the news in advance all gathered in the Labor Union to see the elegant demeanour of the guide.
When the two of them entered the guild, the Dark Sentinels inside began to place their sights on Shang Ke one after another, resisting the pressure of Yonis to look carefully at the youth beside him.
Shang Ke walked steadily with a peaceful countenance like he didn’t care for the sight around him. Judging by his appearance and temperament, all the Dark Sentinels silently gave him 97 points with 3 points deducted due to the figure of Yonis being too intrusive.
Yonis took Shang Ke to the testing room, finally cutting him off from those annoying eyes. But the test results would be displayed on the screen outside.
Everyone in the hall waited patiently. After more than ten minutes, a row of data finally appeared on screen.
Name: Shang Ke
Age: 22 years old
Gender: Male
Class: Guide
Spirit Power Level: S
Compatibility: All Dark Sentinels
After seeing the last line, the Dark Sentinels’ all went up in an uproar. Although they’d guessed that Shang Ke could be a guide suitable for Dark Sentinels, they didn’t expect that he was a guide specifically for Dark Sentinels!
In the history of Biyashi, there had never been a guide dedicated for Dark Sentinels. The few guides that could adapt to Dark Sentinels were generally more compatible with ordinary sentinels. Therefore, most of them would choose to bond with ordinary sentinels with higher compatibility, rather than Dark Sentinels with lesser compatibility. If the match wasn’t enough, bonding with a Dark Sentinel with a strong spiritual power was a kind of torture for the guide.
Now, there was actually a guide dedicated to Dark Sentinels, which meant that he could reach far beyond the standard compatibility with any Dark Sentinel.
At this time, a new set of data was displayed on the screen.
【Compatibility between Dark Sentinel Yonis and Guide Shang Ke: 99%. 】
99%? Everyone wiped their eyes incredulously. This was totally unscientific, okay? In history, the highest match ever was 96%, and currently, the average compatibility degree of all sentinel and guide bonds was only 75%. Matches with a compatibility of more than 90% were very few in the country. What’s more, Yonis was still a Rank A Dark Sentinel with a very strong spiritual power. If it were another Dark Sentinel, would the fit be 100% directly?
Thinking to this point, all of the Dark Sentinel’s eyes grew red.
Yonis knew before that his compatibility with Shang Ke was at least 95%. He had wanted to release the test data in order to make the others give up, but he hadn’t expected their compatibility to be as high as 99%. Was it because of the bonding that their compatibility had improved? Well, it seemed that if they bonded more in the future, they could perhaps one day achieve 100%.
“I request a spiritual compatibility test with the guide Shang Ke.” A cold voice abruptly interrupted Yonis’ thoughts.
He looked back and saw Mitchell, a Rank A Dark Sentinel who was on par with him.
Mitchell went to Shang Ke and bowed slightly. His pair of purple eyes revealed a kind of obscure eagerness.
Yonis’ face sank and his eyes fixed steadily on Mitchell.
Yonis had no right to stop the reasonable request of a Rank A Dark Sentinel. After all, Shang Ke wasn’t his official spouse yet.
Mitchell walked into the testing room under the guidance of the staff.
Shang Ke soon sensed a powerful spiritual force different from that of Yonis. He immediately released his spirit guide, Waves who swam happily in the sea of spirits. He was like a fish in water, looking extremely pleased.
Moments later, another set of data appeared on the screen:
【Compatibility between Dark Sentinel Mitchell and Guide Shang Ke: 96%. 】
There was another public outcry, having one 99% was enough, now there was another 96%?
Shang Ke was worthy of being the exclusive guide of Dark Sentinels. The compatibility was so high!
Mitchell walked out of the testing room and his eyes toward Shang Ke became extremely intense. There was joy, pleasure and desire in his eyes that didn’t fade away. That ultimate feeling of going deep into the soul couldn’t be resisted by any Dark Sentinel. No wonder Yonis was so nervous about him. Such a special guide was the dream treasure of all Dark Sentinels.
“Yonis, I am also a Rank A Dark Sentinel and I’ve reached 96% compatibility with him.” In other words, he was also qualified to have Shang Ke as his guide. Mitchell looked at Yonis calmly.
(myQnote: well, yonis couldn't resist because of love..what the hell are you comparing yourself with him??)
“So what? He can only be my spouse,” Yonis said coldly.
“We’ll see.” Mitchell bowed to Shang Ke again, then turned away. His long purple hair drew an arc in the air, appearing rather elegant.
“I-I also request a spiritual compatibility test with the guide Shang Ke!” Suddenly, a Rank B Dark Sentinel applied eagerly.
Then, all kinds of similar requests echoed in the hall from almost all of the Dark Sentinels who wanted to experience the taste of compatibility above standard.
A Rank A Dark Sentinel just showed off in an ostentatious manner in front of him and even this group of passersby with no names— A, B, C, D— now dared to poach? Yonis burst out in rage and his strong spiritual power swept around like a strong wind. The sentinels were flushed with shock, opening up their spiritual fields to resist Yonis’ spiritual coercion.
Hmph!
Yonis grabbed Shang Ke by the waist and angrily passed through the rigid sentinels. It was not until he walked far away that the other sentinels could finally breathe.
Alas, although a guide was a feast everyone would like to enjoy, it was not something most people could afford.
However, this didn’t prevent them from daydreaming about it!
That night, various information about Shang Ke appeared on the internet. He was the first guide ever to be dedicated for Dark Sentinels and had reached 99% and 96% compatibility with two strong men, Yonis and Mitchell respectively. For a while, almost all Dark Sentinels regarded Shang Ke as their god. Some people had even written some unspeakable fanfictions of Shang Ke and a certain sentinel.
Dark Sentinels were notoriously empty, lonely and cold. Now they finally have a goal to fill in the gap. How could they not be excited? What’s more, since there was the first one, who knows whether there’d be a second one or a third one? If they couldn’t catch Shang Ke, then they could wait on his offsprings!
Sentinels were calling on Shang Ke to give birth, preferably once every six months!
(myQnote: nuts!!give him a rest gap will ya?? )
The fertility rate and embryo survival rate of male guides weren’t high, but they only needed three months to conceive a seed. After three months, the seed would be placed into an artificial breeding tank and then the guides could continue conceiving new seeds.
Shang Ke’s constitution was so special, maybe his fertility was also gifted and once every half a year was not a dream!
Yonis laughed at the comments but Shang Ke was dark faced. This guy had been spitting angry earlier. But now it was Shang Ke whose face couldn’t help twitching every single time he sees “once every half a year”.
“Keke, see, the people of the whole country hope that we can have children soon.” Yonis hugged Shang Ke, happily telling him, “I don’t think we should fail to live up to the expectations of our motherland and people.”
Shang Ke: …Hehe.
There was a saying called “happiness begets sorrow”. Facts have proven that one couldn’t get too complacent.
Just when Yonis ambitiously took Shang Ke to notarize their marriage, he was told by the marriage notary office that Shang Ke was listed as national property and could try relationships, but he wasn’t allowed to be tied down. In the future, it would not rule out the possibility of being assigned to two or more dark sentinels.
(myQnote: whutttt!!! His not a prostitute alright!!)
Yonis looked like he’d been struck by lightning: Excuse me?!
Shang Ke, who suddenly learned that he had become a “national property”, thought, there seemed to be something wrong with the development of the plot …
—
Sentinels: *calling out for Shang Ke to give birth every six months*
Sarah: (in shock)….at least it’s a different kind of giving birth, otherwise I’d be very (ﾟдﾟ；) and also Shang Ke is now a national property?! The poor couple….. Haha XD if you’d like to support me, you can buy me a coffee on ko-fi~: ko-fi.com/sarah_min
