Simple or Soft Edits

 Chapter 9 - Heartache Over the next few days, He Lin obediently stayed aboard the starship as instructed, flipping through his holo-computer, shopping, and wandering around the ship. When Grant returned from work, dusty and irritable, He Lin would greet him with kisses and embraces to soothe his mate. His. He Lin genuinely believed the Zerg Clan's mental marking was a marvel. On the main world, humans also possessed psychic abilities—strong or weak, no different from the Zerg Clan. Yet on the main world, psychic powers were mostly used for work or combat; possession marking was unheard of. A month ago, He Lin would never have imagined he'd enter a minor world and mark a female zerg with his psychic power. As it turned out, Grant desperately needed He Lin's soothing presence. During this inspection, he ignored the “persuasion” left by Governor Bao in the central district and headed straight for the slums near the starport. What he saw ignited his fury. Filthy and chaotic ba...

 Chapter 8 -- Envy Within the main world, the administrators of the Time-Space Administration could be considered the pinnacle of power. In many matters, only the Council could impose any real constraints upon them. As an administrator within the Data Management Department, He Lin could dictate the fate and life or death of individuals within the small world with a mere flick of his finger. To them, he was no different from a god. Yet this false “god” now glimpsed, for the first time in over a decade, the true, warm flesh beneath the dense, cold streams of data. Emerging from the bathroom, He Lin approached the bedside to find the military female already fast asleep. His peaceful countenance bore traces of exhaustion and contentment. Once a female zerg was fully marked, he entered a period of weakness. Otherwise, with the physical endurance of an S-class military female—capable of fighting nonstop for half a month on the battlefield—how could he be so exhausted by a single act of i...

Chapter 7 - Calm  The cabin's bathroom was spacious yet showed almost no signs of use. A single bottle of multi-purpose cleaner sat on the shelf, nothing else. Clearly, the blonde military female in He Lin's arms had no interest in personal grooming. Hot water cascaded down, thoroughly drenching the two figures embracing in the shower. As their long kiss ended, He Lin pulled back, but Grant, still unsatisfied, instinctively stuck his tongue out to linger. He Lin smiled, lowering his gaze. He curled his index and middle fingers to pinch the female zerg's tongue. Only after receiving a glare did he release his fingers, using his fingertips to gently stroke Grant's lips. Grant leaned lazily against the wall, allowing him to proceed. His narrowed eyes swept over the male zerg's upper body, noting not only his superior proportions but also his exceptionally fine physique—lean, taut muscles defined by clear contours. Transparent droplets rolled down, tracing the deep V-li...

 Chapter 6- Together Grant had been alone for so long, so utterly alone, he'd nearly given up hope of ever finding a mate. Yet here in this tiny starport, he'd stumbled upon a treasure like He Lin. As a male zerg, He Lin wasn't just strikingly handsome with a voice to match—he was gentle and considerate, practically flawless. Grant's fingers tapped the tabletop as he scanned the room, suddenly finding the zergs around him unbearably intrusive. A welcome banquet? All he wanted now was to hurry back to the starship and be alone with his mate. He Lin noticed Grant's distraction. After enduring a round of toasts with a stony expression, he leaned close to Grant's ear and whispered, “General, I'm a bit tired. Shall we head back?” Grant was more than happy to oblige. Rising, he declared in a deep voice, “Gentlemen, I have matters to attend to at headquarters. Please excuse me.” Governor Bao, who had been scratching his head on trying to curry favor with them, saw ...

Chapter 5- Protect The atmosphere in the first-floor banquet hall had grown heavy, the earlier laughter and merriment now nowhere to be found. Music in the dance floor had ceased, musicians bowing their heads as if they had become part of the backdrop. As General Grant disliked excessive revelry, the welcoming banquet hosted by the Governor's Office had invited only a select few socialites from Blackstone Starport—no more than twenty gathered here at this moment. Governor Bao, the host, sat at the head table, his face ashen and his brow furrowed with worry. The other guests sat below him. Those nobles already privy to the situation wore a variety of expressions, while the few still unaware of what had transpired exchanged bewildered glances after receiving explanations from their companions. Beside the butler stood Lide, trembling visibly at the sight of so many nobles gathered in one place. Lide was kicking himself now. He'd only intended to slack off, letting He Lin handle al...

 Chapter 4- Easy Grant remains half-reclined on the sofa, his deep blue military coat open, collar slightly askew. His crimson eyes had reverted to a deep, mysterious blue. At He Lin's words, a fleeting, complex expression flickers in his gaze. This was his first time being comforted by a male zerg, his first intimate contact with one. These sensations were unfamiliar, yet he found himself captivated by them. The earlier entanglement, where even his fingers weak and trembling, made him eager to grab the collar of the male zerg before him and demand another round. He was utterly bewitched. “Proof?” Grant's voice was low, hoarse from the aftermath yet still commanding. “You did achieve what other males couldn't. But the only thing that proves is that you're dangerous.” He Lin chuckled. “General, I don't understand your meaning.” “A male with psychic power strong enough to quell an S-class military female's rampage phase, coupled with a face like yours, should have...

 Chapter 3 - Appease A male zerg? Grant's eyes, red from a psychic storm, swept over the zerg's flawlessly handsome, sharply defined features, then over his simple, plain clothing. On the home planet, he was a highly sought-after noble military female, with unlimited potential for the future. Having fought across the stars for years, he had encountered countless male zergs, yet never one like this before him. He bore none of the arrogance males typically directed at females, nor the timid restraint lower-class zergs showed nobility. Not a trace of the pampered delicacy or primness of those who had been raised in luxury. Unlike the smile on his face, those jet-black eyes were cold and detached, radiating a contradictory allure that momentarily held Grant's gaze captive. Back on the home planet, this male zerg's looks alone would likely have earned him the attraction of countless female zergs. Grant sneered coldly, "Bao, your 'kindness' is truly endless. Let ...
