Chapter 3: The Tiger’s Den
In a large spaceship’s medical room.
“It should be because of continuous abuse of Omega pheromones or drugs,” the doctor stated, “It seems that he has a high residual amount of Omega pheromones in his blood, which induces an abnormal estrus period.”
“Even if that’s the case, would an Alpha be in heat become like an Omega?” Qi Yuan asked.
“If you overdose on ‘crimson’, it will cause a pheromone disorder, and the body will emit two pheromones at the same time.” Feng Rao said, “But whether it will show the heat symptoms of Omega may depend on the difference between individuals, and I don’t know much about this.”
‘Crimson’ is an addictive pheromone hallucinogen, which is very popular on the black market. In the later stage, oral supplements can no longer meet the needs of addicts, so they will be changed to injections. In the end, the addicts tend to have pheromone disorders, becoming O from being A or being both A and O, humans are not ghosts nor are they gods, they cannot escape the side effects of drugs.
“Can you believe it? He has fallen into this.” Qi Yuan leaned over, his fingers slowly brushing Ye Zhan’s cheeks, feeling the warm skin of the person trembling unconsciously under his hands.
At the same time as when they arrested this person, his subordinates had also submitted an investigation report on this mysterious “Omega” fraudster: his crime trajectory crossed a large map, all the way from the remote southwest region to Changluo District, and the number of known victims alone has reached twenty, most of them were Alphas who are stupid and have a lot of money, but there are also some very powerful people. The beauty trick’s routine is lackluster, but there are always Alphas rushing to deliver money.
Feng Rao continued with some hesitation, “To be honest, his symptoms seem to be a little strange, I’m not sure, if you want to treat him, you may need to go to a big hospital…”
“Who said I’m going to treat him?” Qi Yuan interrupted the doctor’s words, and a trace of a strange red glow flashed in his inky eyes, causing the doctor to immediately close his mouth in horror.
Feng Rao pushed his glasses and asked cautiously, “So, do you want to give him a suppressant?”
“No, I want him to wake up.”
Feng Rao stopped talking, and the beautiful boy was bound hand and foot by the restraint belt, fixed to the bed, breathing rapidly, and his chest fell up and down rapidly. His face was pale, the corners of his eyes were red, and there were some wet tear stains, because he had a gag in his mouth, the saliva that he could not swallow trickled down the corners of his mouth and wet the pillow.
It was already so painful while being unconscious, and it would only be more difficult if he were to wake up, out of the doctor’s conscience, Feng Rao wanted to connect him to a saline drip instead of waking him up to suffer…
“For a person like him, compassion is the most superfluous thing.” Seeing him hesitate, Qi Yuan said, “What do you think he depends on for a living? He pretends to be an Omega to gain an Alpha’s sympathy, throw their hearts on the ground and trample on them, trample on their dignity, and then take away their precious things.”
Feng Rao muttered in his heart: Boss, why do you sound so much like one of the victims…
He didn’t dare to disobey his boss’s order so picked up a silver bottle, opened the lid, and shook it between Ye Zhan’s nose.
Ye Zhan coughed violently as soon as he inhaled, his body bouncing around like a fish, and he opened his eyes in a few seconds.
He had a pair of beautiful golden-brown eyes because he had just woken up and was still a little dazed, his eyes were misty.
“You get out.” Qi Yuan commanded.
Feng Rao immediately packed his satchel, retreated, and closed the door for them.
Ye Zhan struggled to move, he found that he was tied up and blinked hard, and the haze in front of him finally became clear. He saw the man standing by the bed—with slightly long black hair, a handsome face, and a pair of dark eyes glowing a strange red. On the top of his head were two imperceptible black horns, about the length of a thumb, faintly visible between the strands of his hair.
Qi Yuan!
He was still alive…
A heartfelt joy surged up, but this happiness didn’t last long, because he noticed that Qi Yuan’s gaze was obscure, and the evil intent in it was overflowing.
No, this wasn’t the kid he knew.
Ye Zhan still remembers that when they first met, Qi Yuan was only 12 years old, and he was only as tall as his shoulders, like a poor little milk dog, running around behind him, and he would smile happily if he gave a little look. They grew up together and spent five years together, although this guy grew up quickly and quickly surpassed him in height, his soft and naïve personality never changed.
In short, the appearance is still the same but the core inside is not quite right.
After his thoughts slowly returned, Ye Zhan stopped struggling, and lay in a comfortable position on the bed, making a whining sound with his mouth.
He has something to say.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
When Qi Yuan untied his gag, Ye Zhan’s jaw was very sore, and he couldn’t close it for a while.
Lf rageuuifv ab olcv tlr nblmf, “Qtja jgf sbe tbivlcu wf obg? Qtfgf lr atlr?”

“Qtb jgf sbe?” Tf Itjc rjlv, “Qf tjnf cb uglfnjcmfr, jgf sbe j yjcvla?!”
He was at least right, Qi Yuan was really a bandit.
He is cold-blooded, cruel and unscrupulous, but he doesn’t think he was as cold-blooded as Ye Zhan was. It’s been five years, and right now, when he appeared in front of him again, Ye Zhan only had these words to tell him.
“Are you not feeling well?” The tyranny in his heart devoured reason, and Qi Yuan became surprisingly gentle when he spoke, “I’ll go find a doctor.”
He stood up and walked towards the door, and for a second, he was afraid that he would do something irreparable. When he was about to open the door with his back to the bed, he heard Ye Zhan call him softly, “Qi Yuan.”
Qi Yuan’s movements paused, and then he heard Ye Zhan pretend to be relax and say, “I’m very happy to see that you are still alive, I haven’t seen you for five years. How have you been doing all these years?”
There was a suppressed cough, and then Ye Zhan’s slightly hoarse voice sounded again, “Where did you hide Shen Lan? The flying ship has been returned to you, and this outdated model of robot should be left to me.”
“Of course,” Qi Yuan clenched the doorknob, almost pinching the solid metal out of shape, “I was just trying to let Shen Lan take care of you.”
He opened the door, and a tall, handsome robot stood expressionlessly outside the door, its dark blue eyes looking straight ahead.
Seeing Shen Lan standing in front of him intact, Ye Zhan’s tense heart finally released tension, fortunately, fortunately, Qi Yuan was not so mad that he slaughtered Shen Lan.
He used most of his mind to fend off the physical pain, and a small part of his mind slowly pondered his current situation. Five years ago, Qi Yuan and himself were separated in Guiru, he always thought that Qi Yuan was dead as after all, it was impossible for that little young master to survive in a place like Guiru.
He couldn’t confirm that the man in front of him was the Qi Yuan he knew, or someone else. In these days, people are very easy to impersonate.
Normally he would’ve tried to escape just now, but his body was in this situation, and Shen Lan has also been captured, in case he fell into the hands of some strange person, he was afraid it will be difficult for them to get out.
But Ye Zhan is not afraid, he has very few things, so no one can rob him of anything, the love and warmth in his heart are only a shallow spoonful, and if he has to pour it, he will pour it. In his opinion, life is a series of accidents one after another, but this time, he was screwed over quite badly- if Qi Yuan failed to kill him then he would pat his ass and get up and continue walking until death ended everything.
“Shen Lan.” Ye Zhan shouted, “What are you doing in a daze, quickly help your master loosen the ties, if you’re still sleeping then pinch yourself!”
Shen Lan didn’t move.
Because Shen Lan has always behaved too intelligently, Ye Zhan always has the illusion that he has human nature. However, the Shen Lan in front of him no longer gave him this illusion, and the robot’s eyes were like a pair of inorganic glass beads, reflecting a hollow cold light.
“Go ahead.” Qi Yuan said.
Shen Lan only moved when he heard this and came over to help him untie the shackles, without any expression on his face, he did not even look at him. He looked like he had just gotten off an assembly line, and he had the same face and the same dull eyes as the mechanical products produced en mass.
Ye Zhan’s heart trembled as if the unique rose he had carefully cultivated was suddenly cut off, “Traitor, Shen Lan, who is your master?”
“Qi Yuan.” Shen Lan answered him truthfully.
“Qi Yuan!” Ye Zhan immediately turned his head and complained, “You reinstalled Shen Lan system? You’re trespassing on someone else’s property… Well, although Shen Lan was originally yours but you took away the two hundred gold bars I loaded on the flying ship, what’s wrong with selling me a robot?!
“Not only did I not reinstall the system, but I also upgraded it for you,” Qi Yuan said, “He is equipped with the latest Mazarine fourth-generation intelligent robot system, he should be more useful than before.”
Seeing Ye Zhan’s suddenly dilated pupils, a trace of cruel pleasure appeared in his heart, “Of course, I will let him continue to serve you.”
Ye Zhan tried to hold back the emotions in his heart, but he couldn’t do it. He only had one friend, Shen Lan, and for five years he was the only one with him and no one else. He didn’t turn his head away as he trembled with anger, and showing this appearance in front of Qi Yuan was undoubtedly a sign of weakness, but at this time, he didn’t fucking care about Qi Yuan, he was so sad that he felt like he was going to die.
“Get out,” Ye Zhan said in a hoarse voice, “Get out of here and take your lackey with you.”
“Maybe you haven’t figured out your situation yet.” Qi Yuan said.
That’s right, this is someone else’s home, and it’s him who should get out. Okay, I’ll get out of here immediately, Ye Zhan thought, try and stop me if you have the ability.
He immediately sat up, lifted the curtains, and tried to open the window, but this was the first time he opened it, and he finally saw the scene outside the window—it was an endless night sky!
They are hovering in the air at tens of thousands of meters.
Ye Zhan decisively closed the curtains- he is not a cat so he doesn’t have nine lives. This action made Qi Yuan sneer, but Ye Zhan didn’t feel any shame.
If you have the ability, come and show me a 10,000-meter-high free fall, Ye Zhan rolled his eyes in his heart, I will definitely applaud you.
“You look uncomfortable, do you need any help?” Shen Lan asked with concern.
“Whatever, don’t come near me, go to your master.” Ye Zhan waved his hand as if he was chasing away flies.
“I’m a human-friendly butler robot,” Shen Lan said businessman-like, “and even if I see a puppy injured on the roadside, I’ll save it.”
To prove it, he picked at his navel, and a medical kit containing a bunch of expired medicines popped out of his stomach, and he also put aside an unfinished piece of soap.
“Alright,” Ye Zhan stood up, “then you help me get out of here.”
He had barely taken a few steps when he felt something hard against his back. Shen Lan held the long black whip that poked him in the back, “I’m sorry, according to the master’s order, you are forbidden to leave.”
Ye Zhan didn’t even have time to be angry with him, because as soon as he stood up and walked a few steps, he felt dizzy, and he had to take a few steps back and sit back on the bed, his lower abdomen rebelled, and his head hurt so much that his eyes were full of stars. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, feeling large beads of sweat on his forehead fall on his legs.
At this moment, a faint smell penetrated his nostrils, a less pleasant, similar smell of metal and gun smoke, but it gave him a strange calmness, and even the sharp pain in his lower abdomen was relieved.
This smell came from the bed, and it was Qi Yuan’s pheromone scent!
“You need an Alpha, you need his pheromones…”
The doctor’s words rang in his ears, and Ye Zhan immediately realized that if his state was poisoned, Qi Yuan’s pheromones were his antidote!
It’s over, what is this- he already entered the tiger’s den, and now he has to seek the tiger’s scent!? If he had a mirror at hand, Ye Zhan must hold it up and take a look to see if there were the capital words “SCREWED” on his face.
On the other side, Qi Yuan silently watched this scene, his blood burning in his veins like fire, and all kinds of crazy impulses rose in his heart- he wanted to embrace the unruly beast in front of him into his arms and lick his fur like he was a young beast, but he also wanted to bite the back of his neck and break his proud bones, digest him into his belly, and let their flesh and blood blend…
His fingers trembled, and realizing that his mind was sliding towards the dangerous abyss, he immediately took out a tube of black potion from his pocket, unscrewed the lid, and drank it in one gulp.
Like he just drank an ice fountain, the scorching blood cooled down inch by inch, all tyrannical emotions were suppressed into an almost empty calm, and the strange red pupils slowly faded away, like a torch extinguished, and turned back into deep darkness.
But no matter what, he can’t stay here anymore. Ye Zhan’s influence on him was much greater than he imagined.
Ye Zhan didn’t notice the change in him at all, he couldn’t care so much anymore, and shouted, “Don’t go, wait, wait!”
Qi Yuan waited for him to beg for mercy.
“Give me your coat,” Ye Zhan stretched out his hand, his straightforward appearance didn’t look like he was being controlled by others at all, “Hurry up, give it to me.”
Qi Yuan took off his coat and threw it in his face.
“Thank you.” Ye Zhan hugged his coat and took a suppressed breath, feeling like he had come from a drought into a rainy day. The agitation and pain were greatly relieved, and he let out a sigh, “It smells good, at least you have an advantage over the robot.”
“Be patient,” Qi Yuan showed a cold smile and brought the door back, “You will find a lot of my advantages.”
Bang —the door slammed shut, and the tense nerves of both men relaxed.
As soon as he went out, Qi Yuan saw Feng Rao nervously circling in place, like a firefighter ready to rush into the fire at any time.
“You scared me to death, I thought you had to fight,” Feng Rao patted his chest, “Your situation just now is very dangerous, you rarely lose control to that extent, what the hell is going on?”
“I have pills.” Qi Yuan shook the empty plastic potion bottle, which contained some black residual medicinal liquid.
“Is the medicine of the ‘Grim Reaper’ series more dangerous than getting out of control!” Feng Rao held his forehead, and really didn’t know how to persuade this wayward patient, “Which one are you drinking?”
“I didn’t see it.” Qi Yuan said, turning over the plastic medicine bottle, and the label read: 01-Hades.
All the drugs in the “Grim Reaper” series are rated A or higher, and Hades No. 01 alone can give the drug taker the ability to deprive life force, corrupt life, and summon and drive dead creatures.
Even Qi Yuan just standing at the door resulted in the potted plants in the corridor two meters away still withering rapidly.
“Whew,” Feng Rao breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that we’re in the sky now.”
If they were on the ground, countless dead ghouls would have pounced on them and drowned them.
As the price of great power, people who drink the medicine will die within a few hours of taking it. It is said that the dead on the other side of the ruins have the Xi of taking the Elixir of Death, and some weak avengers will also take the medicine in despair and die with the enemy.
However, Qi Yuan showed no signs of outburst or sudden death, only the darkness in his eyes became deeper and deeper, like stagnant water.
Feng Rao kindly persuaded, “If contacting him will make you lose control, I suggest that you don’t meet him again for a short time.”
“Not anymore.” Qi Yuan lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall with his muscles relaxed, he regained his composure.
“Nothing will happen, don’t be reckless.” Feng Rao felt that his current mental state was very wrong.
“It won’t get out of control anymore.” Qi Yuan coldly spit out three words, “He doesn’t deserve it.”
*
Qi Yuan didn’t come back all night.
Of course, Shen Lan didn’t leave either.
The next morning, the personal doctor Feng Rao reported by phone, “He woke up, and the estrus condition has eased, but it is not over yet.”
Qi Yuan said, “Give him a suppressant, a large dose, and directly end his estrus period.”
Feng Rao said, “He refuses to take the suppressant.”
Qi Yuan’s writing hand paused, leaving a black ink spot on the paper: “Then let Shen Lan help him.”
“The robot was torn down.” Feng Rao wiped his cold sweat, “Just this morning when his body just got a little better, he immediately unloaded the robot while people were not paying attention, and the main chip was thrown into the toilet and flushed into the sewer, and the people in the mechanical group were trying to find a way to put Shen Lan back together.”
The temper of this person is not small.
“Oh, then lock him up for a few days, and let him scatter his virtues on his own.” Qi Yuan hung up the phone.
“Okay.” Feng Rao said to the busy voice.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Rao went to the room to take a look, and in less than an hour, Ye Zhan stopped again. He was lying in bed and sleeping in the dark. Wait a minute, what is he holding in his hand? He looked at it, and it was the coat of his family boss!
Ye Zhan lay on his side, curled up in a ball, wrapped tightly in a small quilt, which was quite an insecure posture. He clutched his coat tightly, buried his face in his clothes, and breathed evenly.
Interesting, Feng Rao rubs his chin, it’s really interesting.
Half an hour later, Qi Yuan called, “Let him come to the living room, I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
Needless to say, Feng Rao also knew who that “he” was referring to.
“What’s the matter?”
Through the microphone, you can also hear Qi Yuan’s anger without a trace of temperature, “The videotape of Wolfeye has been dropped.”
Thanks for the chapter!! 💜💜🙃
Omg videotape? That sounds so ominous. Also it’s funny that ye zhan is getting the help he needed from a guy who supposedly hate his gut haha
Thanks for the translation!❤️❤️❤️
