Mutated PheromonesCh54 - The Rebellious Kid has Matured into the Top Chicken!

Editor: Sahloknir

Yue Shizhong’s first reaction was to contact Ran Ran, but he soon hesitated. yATOMj

Parents couldn’t interfere too much with their children’s affairs, not to mention how sensitive his son was. He couldn’t ask lightly. Besides…Ran Ran had called Jiang Xiao ‘husband’ before. What if it was fake again this time?

After pondering over it, he checked his friend list and saw that Xiujie happened to be online, so he sent a private message.

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Xiujie, I’m your uncle.]

On the other side, Qin Xiujie just stepped foot in a custom arena room map. fgcSYd

Because Ranger will hold a double match at the end of the year. In the previous single match, the map was mostly a simple arena, and there was no need to bother planning. Bai Zhengyang, a commanding scum, could completely handle it. But this time the two-player match has increased the difficulty of the map. He felt that Bai Zhengyang might be abused, so he wanted to drag someone to step on the map carefully, so as not to be bullied during the match.

The game was holding a competitive doubles battle at the end of the year. Compared to the era of single battles before the recent update, where maps were simpler, without the need for heavy planning which Pure White Sun could cope with as a horrible shot caller, the double battle would include the more complicated maps after the update. Qin Xiujie thought Pure White Sun might get abused in them, so he pulled the monk in on getting more familiar with the newer map so as to avoid being taken advantage of during the actual competition.

He jumped onto a big boulder when he received the private message.

He glanced at the content of the message and was completely caught off guard and his fingers slipped on the keyboard. Like his fingers, his character slipped off and fell down the cliff.

Pure White Sun just assumed the swordsman missed. He looked down at the dead player and thought it was retribution for all the bad acts the other guy did. Even the game couldn’t continue to watch and do nothing, a well deserved retribution.

He happily landed below the cliff and uttered, “Stupid noob.”

The corner of Qin Xiujie’s mouth twitched. He wouldn’t quarrel with Pure White Sun for the time being, but chose to revive.

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Uncle?] cVMhwU

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Yes, I need to ask you, did Ran Ran fall in love with that friend of yours?]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Who did you hear this from?]

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: The entire guild is talking about it. Don’t pretend to play dumb.]

Qin Xiujie switched to the guild chat and scrolled through the chat history. He found when the chat blew up, with a clear view of things, he told his uncle the truth. sC2A d

Then, before his uncle could ask, he took the initiative to reveal Jiang Xiao’s working receiver, his stand on removing his receiver and how Ran Ran was aware of the entire thing…sending all the information over.

Yue Shizhong was shocked that Jiang Xiao, that kid, could think up something like removing his receiver.

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Did Ran Ran agree?]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Not exactly. They are still discussing other possible ways.] kCa6st

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Does Ran Ran like him?]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Yes.]

Yue Shizhong was in a complicated mood.

On the one hand, Ranran talked about her boyfriend and grew up. He was both relieved and a little sad, but from the conscience, Jiang Xiao was really good-looking. On the one hand, he was afraid that the pheromone matter would eventually become an obstacle for them, causing Ranran to be injured. H2hlDb

On one hand, Ran Ran was growing up, and was in a relationship now. He was both happy and slightly sad. However, speaking from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Xiao was really good looking. If he was also excellent in other aspects, it was a no-brainer choice. On the other hand, Yue Shizhong was afraid that the pheromones issue would eventually become an obstacle to them and lead to Ran Ran being hurt.

Qin Xiujie waited for a reply that he wasn’t seeing, so he added good words for Jiang Xiao.

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Uncle, Jiang Xiao is a good friend of mine. I might not know much about his family other than they own a company, but I know him as a person. He is very meticulous, smart, calm and handsome. Admirers would fall at his feet one by one, but I never saw him sleeping around. A few days ago, an omega took medicine to seduce him. He called for the university’s medic units directly to drag the person away. He is a very reliable person.”

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Those admirers won’t do anything to Ran Ran, right?] mzsT17

[(Private) Attired Guqin: Don’t worry, we’re all watching over him.]

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: All right.]

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Then that’s all I have to say. Don’t tell Ran Ran that I know. Please take good care of him.]

[(Private) Attired Guqin: I know.] 4a bNt

He breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of closing the private chat, he sent a screenshot of the chat history to Jiang Xiao.

Who was watching a movie with his little summoner.

In a comedy with a high score, every burden is handled properly, the more you laugh from the beginning to the end, the mood is immediately relieved. Seeing that his eyes were shining slightly, Jiang Xiao couldn’t hold back, and when the ending song played, he pinched his chin and kissed him.

The rating was very high for this comedy film, and each punchline was delivered perfectly. Yue Ran laughed from beginning to end, his mood was brighter immediately. Jiang Xiao saw the slightly shining eyes, he could no longer hold back his urge as he pinched the other’s chin and went for a kiss when the ending credit started to roll. JXkdbR

Although they would always end their day with a goodnight kiss recently, there was more or less some disturbance because they were in the dormitory lobby where people come and go.

At the moment, there were only them in the booked room, and they could finally be intimate with ease. Yue Ran’s heart beat faster as he was unknowingly being pressed down on the sofa. Then his hands helplessly grabbed the other’s shoulders, before wrapping them around his senior’s neck.

Jiang Xiao noticed how obedient the other was and couldn’t resist deepening the kiss, until he had to be separated from the youth before he lost his reasoning. Lifting Yue Ran up on his lap, he gave the other a peck before throwing out a teasing remark like it was a routine, “So sweet.”

Yue Ran looked at him while panting, breaking their eye contact without saying a word. YERFq3

Seeing that his ears were red, Jiang Xiao was obviously very happy, but he tried hard to keep his face sullen, and for a moment he was so surprised that this little tsundere died, he smiled and kissed again: “Are you still playing?”

When Jiang Xiao saw the blushing ears, he knew the other was obviously very happy but was trying to keep a straight face. For a moment, he wanted to cherish the youth to death as he smiled and kissed again. “Still want to play?”

Jiang Xiao’s character had been afk online, so when he was about to go offline, he saw a flashing message box. He clicked it and saw the screenshot sent by Qin Xiujie.

Yue Ran saw he wasn’t moving and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Xiao calmly logged off of his account and thought about how to get in his father-in-law’s good graces while saying, “Nothing.” rda6v1

After leaving the Internet cafe, the two found a western restaurant nearby, and returned to school after eating. As usual, they walked for a while holding hands stickily, and made an appointment to live broadcast in the evening, and then went back to the dormitory.

After they left the internet cafe, they found a western restaurant nearby. After eating, they went back to the university. As usual, they were being all lovey-dovey by holding hands, then they returned to their separate dorms after they agreed on a time to meet for tonight’s livestream.

After Yue Ran was appeased, he napped very soundly. When he woke up, he cleaned up and went to find Jiang Xiao again.

Lin Qian found this very funny. He thought about how Yue Ran was basically going to catch up with their other roommate. Outside of coming back to sleep, most of their time would be spent with their husbands. He couldn’t imagine how the other resisted dating the senior a long time ago. That senior was one of a kind talent. BcZ 3x

The ‘talented’ senior ate dinner with his little summoner, took him to the internet cafe, sat in the private room and started the livestream.

Jiang Xiao didn’t go live yesterday, so his fans were all assuming he stood them up again today. Today, they entered the livestream room with a worried mood, and excitedly found out that not only was Tempest streaming, it was before schedule. They happily asked him if he was planning to stream until nine today.

Jiang Xiao didn’t answer. As usual, he formed a party with Yue Ran at the arena lobby and said, “I have something to do first, you guys wait a bit.”

With this, he muted his mic and sat down beside Yue Ran. Fp8CeJ

Because they were going to be fighting in the arena, Yue Ran must first understand what he refined during his drunken night to avoid being caught off guard during the actual fight. Jiang Xiao didn’t see what the bird was refined into last night, so he’d better watch nearby to coax his darling from a possible rage.

Yue Ran opened the spirit beast window and opened the scene bird’s character menu. They were completely shocked.

I saw another hair on the top of its head, but it was not a dull hair, but a feather. The five feathers became longer and lighter, and they brushed back softly until they touched the neck. It has grown up a bit, and its wings and tail feathers also have blue lines. At first glance, it looks very imposing—the rebellious killer has grown into a leading brother!

They saw another feather on its head, but it didn’t look like an exaggerated cowlick, but an actual plume feather. The five feathers became longer and lighter, as they were brushed back gently, all the way to its neck. It had increased in size, and now the cyan pattern was spread to its tail feathers. At first glance, it looked very lofty—the rebellious kid matured into a top chicken! GvbdDh

His chicken’s attack was very high. In addition to an AOE attack, there was also a single target attack. Now with the knock-off ability, it had three skills.

Three skills…This was usually the standard feature for a rare summoned beast, but Yue Ran didn’t know this because there was usually a system announcement when a rare spirit beast was refined. But whatever the case, at least it proved that it had the potential to become a rare grade summoned beast.

He had a vague feeling of being moved to tears as a father, whose child was finally successful. He finally decided to forgive his chicken for swallowing his Eagle King, looking excitedly at the name given by the system: [Five Plumed Bird].

Fuck, why was it still a zero-effort name! r5UYBT

He was immediately slightly unhappy.

Jiang Xiao saw the other man grinding his teeth while staring at the words on the screen. Chuckling and patting his head. “Arena?”

Yue Ran answered, “Yes.”

Jiang Xiao sat back and pressed ‘Start’. nvDVs7

He did serious shot calling verbally for two matches. In the third game, they were randomly placed at a longer distance, when Jiang Xiao rushed to meet the summoner, he saw that the other guy was besieged by two enemies and immediately said, “Darling, come close to me.”

Yue Ran was very focused on the fight and when he heard the command, he quickly grouped up with his teammate.

The livestream chat went quiet for a moment before it exploded like a small-scale bomb.

[Darling?] CUQHwe

[Darling??]

[Darling????????]

[I thought I heard these words or maybe hearing things. But it turned out I did hear it correctly QAQ]

[Come! Explain yourself, why are you calling Star God darling!] vW7ybK

[Didn’t Tempest God have a partner? Is he cheating?]

[Shut it, Tempest God is not that kind of person!]

After Jiang Xiao finished the game, he glanced at the crazily flying messages and pretended to act innocent. “Oh? Did I say that?”

[Yes!] sECaJh

[Don’t deny it. I have it recorded. I’ll show you if you don’t believe me!]

[Shouting things out unconsciously is often linked to critical moments. Tell us quickly about the relationship between you two!]

[Male God, I’m warning you. Don’t you dare say you accidentally made a mistake in your shot call, I don’t believe it!]

[That’s right. We don’t believe it! Only dumbasses would believe it!] M1j3QK

Jiang Xiao said indifferently, “Fine, I’ll tell the truth.”

He peeked at Yue Ran’s uncertain look and asked, “Darling, did I say it?”

The viewers in the livestream room took a moment to react before causing another explosion in the chat.

[Holy fuck! Give me time to process, the amount of information is too much!] udnXjY

[So Star God is with you right now???]

[Oh my god, does that mean the Tempest God CP could be raised up again!!!]

[Quick, I need my quick-acting heart reliever…]

Of course Yue Ran wasn’t aware of any of this. He opened the other’s livestream and scrolled through the chat, and glared at a certain someone. xXrvL4

Accident my ass, this jerk definitely shouted it on purpose!

Jiang Xiao put his arms around him and smoothed his hair. Seeing that he didn’t object, he said to the microphone with confidence: “Didn’t Mo Yang tell you that I have a partner not long ago? At that time, I met them in the game. It’s a different size, Jingfen has teased them, so I’ve been embarrassed to tell them since I switched back to a large size, but I just talked about it recently, you can go and ask.”

Jiang Xiao put his arms around the other for comfort. Seeing he wasn’t being pushed off, he said confidently into his mic, “Didn’t Inked Sun tell you that I had a partner not long ago? At that time, I met them with my partner, who was using a different account and a different persona to play them for fools. Now when he switched to his main account, he was too embarrassed to reveal the truth. It wasn’t until recently that he let the cat out of the bag. If none of you believe me, go ask the others.”

[!!!] wSXB0s

[Holy fuck!]

[I remember now. I’m from the new server. This morning, Star God seems to have blacklisted the other three gods. So it’s because of this!]

[Ahhhh my Tempest Star!]

[I thought I had to keep the pairing to myself, I never expected it to be an official match!] AyPRUn

[Lock tight and secure, and swallow the key! So no one can unlock this!]

[I’m sorry, my focus went sideways. This seems to be the longest I heard Tempest God talking.]

[In the name of his partner—this is no doubt true love.]

[I’m sorry, my focus went sideways. Is Star God watching? What’s up with your summoned spirit beast? Why do I feel it has three skills?] ed 4dw

[Fuck me, three skills???]

[Like for a rare summoned?]

Seeing that the topic went on a tangent, Jiang Xiao answered frankly, “Not a rare summoned, but it has the potential of one. I am raising this bird with him.”

[Oh! There’s even a kid!] wEcUBK

[Hey! Isn’t that the little fat chicken that knocked Star of Jupiter off the stage? I’m visualising the Male God chasing the little fat chicken to change its diaper. Help, I can’t stop Hahahaha…]

[Help, your thoughts are too toxic!]

[Yes, there is help out there. But I also can’t stop as well!]

[This is so sweeeeeet!] UPqGZ5

[Tempest Star CP fans, rise up! From now on we will stand up and walk with pride!]

Seeing that the topic finally returned to Tempest Star, Jiang Xiao kissed the person in his arms in contentment.

Yue Ran: “…”

Jiang Xiao patiently quarreled with the fans for a while, and then continued to play ranking, inadvertently showing affection, and played the broadcast among the lemons in the room. He switched accounts, glanced at his friend list, saw his father-in-law was online, and said to Yue Ran: “I have something to do here, let’s wait before leaving.” GkbFKg

Jiang Xiao patiently spent time and watched the fans cause a racket for a while before continuing the ranked match. During the matches, he would publicly display affection without caring, making all the viewers become lemons before he ended his stream. He switched accounts, checked his friend list and saw his father-in-law was online. He turned to Yue Ran. “I have something I need to do. Let’s leave it for a little bit.”

Yue Ran made an okay hum and didn’t probe deeper, beginning to study his shiny new spirit animal.

Jiang Xiao stared at the ‘Anonymous Guardian’ name on his friend list, took a deep breath and started a private chat.

[(Private) Formless Slash: Good evening, shushu. A-Jie filled me in today.] KqsohG

Yue Shizhong was startled. He didn’t expect for the child to take the initiative to contact him.

However, he quickly collected his thoughts, subconsciously sat up straighter, appeared calm without losing affinity, and displayed the air of an elder.

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Yes, what do you want to say?]

Jiang Xiao knew that although they’d temporarily come to an understanding, the other person must still be worrying about Ran Ran and him. KhjIof

So he didn’t want to say something like ‘his feelings about Ran Ran are serious’, instead, he told his father-in-law about Dr. Li.

Yue Shizhong was startled again.

Dr. Li was a very busy person. It was not easy to make an appointment with the doctor, at least it wasn’t something even a gaming great god could do. It was probably accomplished by the youth’s parents. This sentence showed that Jiang Xiao’s family was well off, and his parents were aware of Ran Ran’s mutation.

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: What if this was also out of Dr. Li’s expertise?] 5aO8Mz

[(Private) Formless Slash: Then I’ll get Ran Ran’s consent on getting my receiver removed. I’ve discussed it with my parents and they didn’t object.]

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: I see.]

Although he gave a simple reply, he was very relieved inside.

After a brief silence, he thought about Xiu Jie’s words and his feelings when he personally met Jiang Xiao some time ago, and told Jiang Xiao that he had already made an appointment with Dr. Li, and then suppressed the slight discomfort in his heart, adding said a word. F09WGp

After a short silence, he thought about what Xiujie said and his own personal interaction with Jiang Xiao some time ago, and he had been informed the other had already made an appointment with Dr. Li, so he suppressed his subtle discomfort and added,

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: If you make Ran Ran sad, I won’t spare you.]

As soon as Jiang Xiao saw this reply, he knew that he had passed his father-in-law’s test and hurried on typing out a reply.

[(Private) Formless Slash: Shushu, don’t worry. I won’t.] o9QJlM

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Good.]

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: By the way, I just watched your livestream. Are you two outside?]

[(Private) Formless Slash: At the internet cafe close to the university. We’re heading back now.]

[(Private) Anonymous Guardian: Okay, be careful when walking back.] GVhQCT

[(Private) Formless Slash: We will.]

It seemed that when he planned to take Ran Ran to a hotel in the future, he would need to factor in his father-in-law.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

For example, being offline at night at the same time…it would easily cause suspicion.

As he thought about this inside, he logged off and shut the computer down, leaning over and kissing his little summoner, before pulling him out of the internet cafe. TKUaPo

After that day, Yue Ran’s classes started.

He majored in fashion design, a bright career path but actually difficult to be recognised. However, he wasn’t concerned about that because his mother was a designer, who certainly had a good reputation in the industry. He had been influenced since childhood and would occasionally help his mother out. He was ahead of his classmates in this aspect.

Most freshmen courses were basic core education classes. Lin Qian sat in the canteen drinking milk, muttering why fashion design majors needed to learn advanced mathematics while studying Yue Ran’s backpack.

He had long noticed that Yue Ran paid very particular attention to his clothes. Although it was very simple and low-key, it was very pleasing to the eye and gave a very comfortable feeling at any time. With that face…Fortunately, the senior had a head start, otherwise they would be buried under Yue Ran’s love letters. bON0LD

Today, Yue Ran wore a light, casual outfit—a rare chance of using a slightly brighter coloured backpack, but it was not very dazzling. It expressed a youthful vitality and easily attracted attention.

Lin Qian couldn’t resist asking, “Where did you buy this bag?”

Yue Ran replied, “I made it myself.”

Lin Qian was surprised. “You made it?” Tpq nr

Yue Ran nodded.

Every long vacation, he would go to his grandmother’s house for a period of time. His grandmother enjoyed handicrafts, he would join her and make a variety of things each time. This bag was made this summer.

Lin Qian examined it closer and praised, “Your craftsmanship is amazing.”

Yue Ran said, “If you like it, I can make one for you.” WiI7 F

Lin Qian happily accepted the other’s offer, “Yes, give me a list of materials needed and I’ll buy them.”

They quickly finished their meal and entered the classroom.

The people in the class paid extra attention to Yue Ran. When they saw him coming in, they also caught a glance at his bag, and started to discuss what brand it was in private.

Yue Ran didn’t notice it as he focused on the lecture like a well-behaved student. yidR0C

He didn’t forget about his nemesis, Chu Yuan. But he heard nothing of the other guy in the two days after the military training. At first he thought he would hear something this weekend or next week, until he saw a new friend request on WeChat shortly after he returned to his dorm today. When he clicked on it, there was a note attached: [I’m Chu Yuan.]

Oh, it seemed his nemesis asked for his WeChat from someone else first.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Void of emotion, he pondered for a moment before accepting the request.

The next moment, a new message reached him: [Where?] aHVjfp

[Yue Ran: School, you need something?]

[Chu Yuan: I’m at your university. I just entered the south gate. Can we meet somewhere?]

Fine, I’ll meet you. You think I’m afraid of you!

Yue Ran thought of a crowded place, so someone could intercept just in case things got out of hand. cfuWz7

He sent the address, put on his sportswear, saw the pepper spray Lin Qian tossed on the table, informed his was going to borrow it, put it into his pocket and stormed out of the door.

Lin Qian: “…”
