On Bai Youxing's eighteenth birthday, he was slapped with multiple charges of theft and smuggling, and sentenced to three hundred years in prison right there in court.
There was only one shortcut to a reduced sentence: collect a biological sample from the Lord of the Xenobeasts.
His eyes fixed on the corresponding exchange rates, and his heart raced:
One strand of hair: ten years off his sentence.
A mouthful of saliva: thirty years off.
Reproductive fluid: his entire three-hundred-year sentence wiped away!
Better to pull off one big score than rot in prison.
So he forged an identity and infiltrated an official team.
This was a selection contest broadcast live across the entire star region. Whoever returned alive with intelligence would be eligible to become a presidential candidate.
In front of the cameras, the candidates of noble birth all wore determined expressions. Bai Youxing alone looked soft and young, like a mascot.
Not long after he went undercover, a battle with the Xenobeasts suddenly broke out. Everyone was either dead or retreating, and the broadcast filled with screams and evacuation alerts.
Bai Youxing went against the tide, convinced this was the perfect moment to steal a sample. He had inside information: every ten years, the Xenobeasts entered a mating season.
Without hesitation, he climbed into the nest the Xenobeast had made after going into heat.
He had expected a cold, emotionless being of supreme power. But when their lips met, the other's skin flushed and their breathing turned ragged.
Looking at that handsome face, Bai Youxing couldn't help but coax him: "I'm an alliance envoy here to arrange a marriage, sent to help you through your mating season. Please, use me as you wish."
Everything went smoothly, except they weren't quite the right fit. After a painful, passionate tryst, he packed away the sealed test tube filled with his sample and fled at full speed in a small smuggling spacecraft.
Then the testing system's alarm blared. The results were all gibberish: this sample did not belong to any known carbon-based life-form!
His sentence wasn't reduced by a single day!

Bai Youxing boarded the prison transport ship in dejection, wondering which other high-ranking Xenobeast was worth risking it all for.
Suddenly, countless meteorites battered the hull. Space tore open, and countless free particles poured through the rift.
A tall, slender figure took shape amid the flow of particles. The Supreme Lord walked slowly up to him.
A low voice, edged with the chill unique to Xenobeast life, fell beside his ear:
"My beautiful bride, where are you running off to?"
The skin the Xenobeast had touched began to burn. Bai Youxing's legs gave way, and he fell into the other's arms.
Help! He'd only made up that lie to scare him off. How had he taken every word as the truth?!
He had no idea that the nest had already marked him with his scent. Wherever he ran, the nest would find him and provide the Supreme Lord with the permanent coordinates of his mate...
