Chapter 2: The Mating Season of the Dragon Abyss

"…I told you… don't disturb me… get out, get out!"

The man’s voice was low, hoarse, and deep, filled with repressed anger, as if he were enduring some unspeakable torture.

Shi Chuchu was stunned for a moment.

The voice and tone were so familiar that she instantly deduced the current situation—Long Yuan’s rut had arrived.

In this beast-kin world, males experienced a rut one to three times a month, and there were only two ways to alleviate it:

1. Requesting one's female mate to provide relief.
2. Purchasing suppressants available on the market.

The effects of the two were worlds apart.

The first option was undoubtedly the best. Males who had high-level females as their mates were the most fortunate; the mental energy of high-level females could act as a perfect complement during the relief process, allowing the males to not only survive the rut but also soothe their own rampaging mental energy.

The second method was less effective but the most common. Most males without mates chose this cheap alternative, then endured the agonizing rut while suffering through the torture of their mental energy running wild.

Shi Chuchu’s nose twitched slightly. As she inhaled the sweet, fragrant scent radiating from Long Yuan, she swallowed hard, feeling pathetic.

She was hungry.

She couldn't be blamed for this. Over the years she had spent on the beast-kin continent, her palate had been spoiled by several male leads.

After returning to Earth, she had been so picky that she hadn't found a single satisfying meal in four full days, leaving her starving until now.

Right now, a meal was right before her eyes, and she was merely a succubus following her primal instinct to feed. What was wrong with that?

She boldly tilted her head and cast a glance into the room.

It was a suite resembling a five-star luxury presidential room. Judging by the sound, Long Yuan was in the inner bedroom. Because there was a door in between, he didn't know the person outside was her.

Shi Chuchu hesitated.

She was indeed hungry, but she wasn't so hungry that she would disregard her own life.

Just as she wavered, the System popped up again.

【Don't worry, Host~ To ensure your safety, I have thoughtfully arranged a cheat for you—the Intelligent Mosaic Program!】

"…What on earth is that?"

【Hehe, as the name implies, I will help cover your face, so the male leads and cubs with high corruption values won't be able to see your features clearly and won't recognize your true identity for now!】

"Hm?? You mean… my face looks like a block of mosaic in their eyes?"

【Something like that, though it's not a literal mosaic; it just blurs their memories so they can't remember your face.】

"And what about others who have seen me before?"

【Rest assured, they won't recognize you either~】

Shi Chuchu rubbed her chin and pondered for a moment, deciding that this skill was actually quite good. At least her life would be guaranteed.

As she mused, a painful, low groan came from the room again.

"What are you still doing standing at the door… forget it, go get me another… suppressant."

He seemed to have mistaken her for his personal butler. It appeared the butler had been chased out, which explained why he was alone.

Shi Chuchu wrestled with her thoughts for a moment before deciding—forget it. Since she was already here, and she was a lone succubus with a meal right in front of her, there was no reason not to eat.

After adjusting her mindset, she followed the sound to the door of the inner bedroom and pushed it open gently.

What met her eyes was a large bed.

On the bed, the tall, devastatingly handsome man was sprawled in a wretched state, his wrists and ankles firmly secured by special restraints, leaving him unable to move at all.

On the nightstand beside the bed, three empty suppressant bottles lay scattered.

Shi Chuchu let out a soft "hiss." This man was truly suicidal; injecting so many suppressants at once, wasn't he afraid of dropping dead?

But then, recalling the man's boundless energy when he used to toy with her… well, she supposed she could understand.

She stepped forward and lightly brushed her fingertips against the man’s face.

Long Yuan’s features were sharp and defined; his black hair and dark eyes added an icy touch, making him look inherently aggressive and cold.

However, beneath the influence of the rut, this aggressive face was flushed with a layer of desire, greatly diminishing his cold aura.

As Shi Chuchu was lost in the pleasure of drooling, the man suddenly snapped his eyes open, his sharp gaze almost piercing right through her.

"Who… are you! Get out! Don't touch me!"

Long Yuan struggled violently, but since his wrists and ankles were tightly bound, his efforts were in vain.

Shi Chuchu knew he couldn't recognize her, so she couldn't be bothered to waste words. She simply climbed onto his lap and began to unbutton his pants with practiced ease.

Long Yuan’s expression was one of extreme fury, mixed with a hint of terror.

He had never expected to capsize in the gutter like this, being molested by an unidentified woman in such a small, secluded place!

He immediately began to shout for help: "Butler! Butl—"

Shi Chuchu was quick; she braced herself against his abdominal muscles and clamped a hand over his mouth.

Good heavens, there were pursuers of hers outside; she couldn't let him shout like that!

Suddenly having his mouth and nose covered by a small, delicate hand, Long Yuan was about to struggle when he suddenly froze.

A faint, familiar scent—the one he had yearned for every day for five years—drifted into his nostrils.

In an instant, his gaze became dazed, and he wondered if he was dreaming again.

Seeing that he had finally quieted down, Shi Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his mouth.

"That's a good boy~ Good children get rewarded~"

She lowered her head, patted the man’s handsome face, and then captured his lips, savoring the taste of this delicious appetizer.

Feeling the familiar softness of her lips and the sweet scent, the man finally became certain that he was truly experiencing a wonderful dream.

He wanted to pull the girl into his arms immediately, but with his limbs restrained, he could only pant heavily and respond to the kiss with passion.

"Chuchu… don't… don't ever… leave me again…"

Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently primed, Shi Chuchu braced herself against his chest and sat up, her small hands reaching for his waistband.

This time, she successfully pulled his pants down.

However, the next second, she froze.

A conspicuous black metal chastity device met her eyes.

This man… he had locked himself up!!!

Shi Chuchu was dumbfounded, and it took a long while for her to find her voice.

"No way… in the time I was gone, when did he develop this hobby??"

【Sigh, in the second year after you left, Long Yuan was almost successfully schemed against by a woman during his rut. Since then, he… has used this method to lock himself up~】

Shi Chuchu went silent.

Though it sounded like he had perfected his "male virtue," she was really hungry right now.

After a moment of contemplation, she looked at the man’s alluring, handsome face—

And sat down upon him.
