Chapter 10: Oops, I’m infected
Nonsense- of course not- you can’t, and others can’t!
If I do the deed with you then I won’t be able to hide the fact that I’m gradually transforming into an Omega, Ye Zhan thought to himself. Even if there were no physical changes, an Alpha’s dignity would not allow him to do such a thing. He smiled, “If you really want to then I’ll have to do so- just give me an injection of muscle relaxant and come in directly so that I won’t have the strength to bite my tongue and kill myself.”
Of course, he dared to say that because he knew that Qi Yuan would not do that, after all, he was the kind of crazy person with a relatively high moral standard.
“That’s a pity.” Qi Yuan said. Those eyes were staring at him but he couldn’t see any special emotions, despite this, the stare made some of Ye Zhan’s hair stand.
Qi Yuan put on the silver chain for him again, locked it carefully with the key, and then hung the small silver key around his neck, “In the past five years, I have been thinking about you, and I have always regretted very much.”
“Regret what?” Ye Zhan stared at the key on his chest.
Generally speaking, those who are used to fighting do not wear bells and whistles, as it greatly increases the risk in battle. For example, in this chain with a key attached to it, Ye Zhan had already figured out three attack lines, how to use the necklace to strangle Qi Yuan’s neck, making him suffocate, and how to incapacitate him.
“I regret why we didn’t do something much happier sooner, otherwise I wouldn’t have dreamed of what you would look like, but I could never guess what it would be like to do such things with you.” Qi Yuan’s eyes drooped, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, “You have been pretending to be an Omega by my side for 5 years, but I haven’t touched you, was I stupid at that time?”
“Why are you still feeling wronged?” Ye Zhan trembled, don’t say things like that, it makes him panic a bit.
Qi Yuan’s fingers slowly played with the key on his chest, and suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes to look at him, with a shy and implied expectation, “Did you miss me too?”
“At first I did but then I didn’t want to.” Ye Zhan said.
“Why?”
“I thought you were dead,” Ye Zhan felt the need to defend himself, “I didn’t mean to leave you in Guiru, I went back to look for you later, and I searched all the places where you could be but I just couldn’t find you. It was too dangerous in that place so I didn’t think you could have survived at that time…”
“If I had known five years ago that you had searched for me like that, I would have been very, very happy.” Qi Yuan smiled slightly, hugged him loosely, and whispered in his ear, “If only you were by my side at that time.”
But he wasn’t and they couldn’t go back in time.
Ye Zhan suddenly realized that he still liked Qi Yuan, but he liked the innocent and somewhat willful teenager from five years ago, not the monster in front of him. He can’t turn the hands of time back and let all the damage disappear, he has a mess of affairs, where can he afford to save the runaway youth?
Ye Zhan felt that there was nothing more to say, and turned his head stiffly, wanting the other to just leave, “I’m going to sleep.”

“Why do you even have to steal food?” Qi Yuan pinched the rice ball that was still warm, “Are you afraid that I will abuse you and not give you food?”
Ye Zhan didn’t think there was much of a problem with what he did so he didn’t bother to answer him. He is good at hiding things, but unfortunately, there is limited space to hide them, and soon, when Qi Yuan searched in the second round, the remaining two stainless steel forks and a piece of broken glass were seized, and he turned back into being a poor bastard.
“Alright,” Qi Yuan patted his buttocks, “go to sleep.”
Ye Zhan collapsed on the bed with his head aching, he closed his eyes and meditated. He had nothing else to do other than this, at least he had to thank Qi Yuan for allowing him to breathe.
He had to go out on a mission in the evening. Still, it seemed that Qi Yuan had nothing to do all afternoon as he used a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor – he liked to walk around barefoot, and he always wondered if any small glass slags had not been cleaned. Since he was a child, he has had this kind of paranoia. Things must be neat and clean and meticulous in everything around him, even in his most stupid and sweet years, he would demand Ye Zhan with the highest hygiene standards.
Ye Zhan should have grown into a rough man with his feet bare as he walked, stinking with wine and making lewd yellow jokes with his companions, peeing on street corners with impunity, and throwing lice in his mouth when he caught them in his hair, just like those common mercenaries in taverns… Thanks to him, Ye Zhan cleaned himself up like a human being, even after five years, every time he wanted to throw his socks around, Qi Yuan’s nagging would faintly sound in his ears.
“I’ve already contacted my family, and we’ll go back to the Qi family’s house next week.” Qi Yuan finished cleaning up and poured himself a glass of boiled water, “I told them that I would bring an Omega back, and they were all surprised.”
Ye Zhan’s eyes opened a slit, “Omega?”
For a moment, he almost thought that he was exposed, but Qi Yuan’s attitude was very natural. “It’s you. Aren’t you very good at pretending to be an Omega, and playing my lover is also part of the mission? I promised you that if you find out the truth about my father’s attack then I would let you go, although you don’t keep your word, but I mean what I say.”
“That’s right,” Ye Zhan’s heart fluttered back to its original position leisurely, “It doesn’t matter, after all, I once secretly transmitted information, stole a flying ship, stole the third young master, and caused the master to send a personal guard, giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of…”
After saying this long list, he himself felt that he was a big villain.
“It doesn’t matter,” Qi Yuan said, “they won’t dare to touch my people.”
He wasn’t going back as the former Third Young Master but as the leader of a powerful organization.
“What should I do?” Ye Zhan asked.
“Quite simply, you play the role of my fiancée and accompany me to all the necessary occasions. The environment is treacherous, and regular Omegas will be chewed until there are no bones left, but you should be able to handle it.”
That’s a mistaken outlook- Ye Zhan only had one thing hovering in his head for the past years and that was to run. He has lived in the Qi family for five years so the terrain is familiar, and there were acquaintances, so he will never be unable to escape.
“You’ll need to use an alpha inhibitor after you inject the Omega pheromone.” Qi Yuan added, “But you’re used to Scarlet so it shouldn’t matter, right?”
“Yes, just give me the medicine.” Ye Zhan nodded. Indeed, now it has even become more convenient, he doesn’t need to inject Omega pheromones but he should directly use Alpha inhibitors so that he smells like a fake Omega.
The two discussed some details again, and it was time for dinner, but unfortunately, Ye Zhan couldn’t go to the cafeteria.
“Knock knock.” There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and it was Feng Rao, holding a food tray in his hand, “Ahem, I saw that you didn’t go to the cafeteria, so I guessed that you must have been locked.”
Oh, doctor, a good man spelled with a capital letter… Ye Zhan couldn’t remember the first time he was moved by others, and he found that Feng Rao had another advantage, that is, he was not afraid of Qi Yuan at all.
“Boss, you haven’t eaten either,” Feng Rao handed the food tray to Ye Zhan and said to Qi Yuan casually, “I would have brought you one if I knew it.”
“Today, Fan’er is cooking, and I usually don’t go to the cafeteria.” Qi Yuan said in disgust, “Who arranged for him to be a chef in the cafeteria… Oh, it’s me.”
“Yes, at that time you said: ‘The more you don’t know, the more you have to practice, you can’t solve any problems by escaping!’” Feng Rao imitated his expression, “You then put Fan’er in the canteen- there was a protest at that time, and the forty people who protested in the canteen knocked on their bowls, and the sound at that time was spectacular.”
“How can it get worse and worse the more you practice, it shouldn’t be.” Qi Yuan was deeply troubled by this.
Hey, in that case, didn’t he go to the cafeteria today? A small light bulb flashed in Ye Zhan’s mind, why did Qi Yuan appear in the cafeteria at noon, could it be that he was looking for me? Oh, isn’t he very busy, why does he have so much spare time to take care of me?
Ye Zhan thought about it carefully,- he always had the advantage when playing the emotion cards and there are many, many ways in which he can use it to his advantage.
Although he had eaten a lot at noon, he still ate his food tray for the evening. The food made by Fan Xiao was very difficult to eat, but he had eaten something that was thousands of times more difficult to eat, and the food made him full of strength, and he had to make good use of the two days that Qi Yuan was away to find an opportunity to escape. As for going back to the Qi family’s house to find the murderer five years ago, in Ye Zhan’s opinion, it was an impossible task. Qi Yuan didn’t plan to let him go at all.
That night, Qi Yuan didn’t come back.
However, he acted hastily before, he made a big move so the chain that he had finally taken off was put on again, which brought great inconvenience to his movements. He really couldn’t do it, he could only break his hand’s bones and force his hands out- it’s worth paying this price for freedom.
At night, the spacecraft changed from flying at high speed to levitating, floating quietly in the air. Ye Zhan stared out the window and saw a fighter jet leaving the parent ship and slowly descending in the dark night as if sinking into a deep river with an undercurrent.
Why did they have to act so late? Were they planning an arson or robbery? But looking down from the air, it doesn’t look like it was a populated area. He never asked about Qi Yuan’s actions or purposes, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
From time to time, there were dark shadows in the night wind, mutated birds and beasts, looking at the behemoth with fear, they smelled the sweet smell of flesh and blood, but their sharp claws and beaks could not penetrate the hard steel plates. They let out a hungry howl as they flapped their wings and lingered around the ship for a long time.
When the ship is suspended at a low altitude, the windows can be opened. Ye Zhan pushed the window open a crack, and the cold night breeze poured in, blowing his hair up. When he peeked out, he could see his flying ship floating behind the large spaceship not far away, and thinking of the two hundred pieces of gold that he didn’t know where they went, Ye Zhan’s heart was like being cut with a knife.
He pulled out a piece of meat from under the bed, which he had saved from his lunch two days before- the meat was rotten and gave off a rancid smell.
This is the favorite taste of the mutant beasts. The flock of birds smelled the scent, and before they could fly to hunt, a fight had already begun, and a vulture of heroic blood tore apart the other competing beasts, pecked out the eyes of a flying eagle, and then methodically flew to the open window of the hole to feast on its prey.
Ying Zhao, a mythical beast that manages the garden for the Emperor of Heaven, is said to have a horse body and a human head, covered with tiger markings, and wings on its back, and its grade is close to the demigod level. After this vulture awakened the bloodline of Ying Zhao, its body swelled to more than half a human height, with a wingspan of up to 8 meters, four legs under its wings, and its face was already a bit like a human.
This place should be a deep mutation zone to give birth to such a good thing, and Ye Zhan has been eyeing it for a long time. He shook the carrion, and the Ying Zhao mutant immediately came to bite him, almost eating his hands together. With just one bite, he swallowed a large piece of meat, and the bones were not spared.
Ying Zhao has more divinity than beastliness so it does not eat people- the creature planned to flap its wings and fly away after eating, who knows that when it tried to fly away, its claws were caught by this bold human being!
“Don’t run- you ate my meat, you leave something before you go.” Ye Zhan was already prepared, he wrapped the silver chain around the Ying Zhao’s claws and dragged it with all his strength to prevent it from running away. With a shake of the other hand, a thumb-thin glass shard slipped out of the cuff and landed in the palm of his hand. He slammed the shard into the Ying Zhao mutant’s leg, and the dark red bird’s blood flowed down his hand.
The mutant beast was in pain and turned his head over to peck him, but Ye Zhan got what he needed so he immediately slammed the window shut. Ying Zhao’s human-like face was close to the tempered glass, and the curved beak pecked at the window, but there was nothing it could do about the evil humans.
The whole process took less than a minute, and Ye Zhan returned with a full load and got what he needed most: the blood of Ying Zhao.
At the same time, his left hand was scratched by the glass, and where a wound had been opened as his blood mixed with the blood of Ying Zhao, and fell to the ground dripping.
“Oops, I’m infected…”
Through the moonlight, Ye Zhan admired the scars on his hands and then brought his hand to his mouth, slowly and delicately licking the blood away.
Interesting. I love learning a little more of their backstory. Thanks for the chapter!!
… wow
