extra chapter thanks to mah.taiyaki‘s donation! the end has a special ‘game’.
But in reality, the first thought that came to Huo Xianfeng’s mind when he witnessed this scene was,
This alpha has really fair legs… and they don’t even have any leg hair!
It was the second time he had seen an alpha without leg hair, and the first one had been himself. However, he had grown from looking like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old to seventeen or eighteen in just two months, so having no leg hair didn’t seem that surprising anymore.
On the other side, Jiang Ci efficiently disposed of his opponent. Having been accustomed to military uniforms, the omega major general had almost forgotten that he was wearing a qipao without the reminder from Xiao X. Jiang Ci turned abruptly, his expression icy.
Huo Xianfeng suddenly snapped back to reality after realizing that the other person might be about to attack him. He coughed and tried to offer a comforting response, “Uh, wear whatever you like; it’s freedom of expression. Who cares if male alphas like wearing skirts?”
He raised his thumb in approval towards Jiang Ci and added, “Don’t mind the judgmental gazes; respect and bless you!”
The omega who didn’t know how to answer for a moment: “…”
Jiang Ci’s temple pulsed with a visible vein.
This familiar tone and attitude reminded him of someone. If it weren’t for the mismatched age, height, and voice, Jiang Ci might have thought it was the guy back on Earth. The age and height naturally didn’t match, and as for the voice, it was because Huo Xianfeng had a voice modulator installed in his breathing mask. After all, he was here to offend people, so concealing his identity was crucial.
At this point, seeing the other person still not saying anything, Huo Xianfeng felt he should continue to speak. He glanced at the other’s qipao and gestured to his own thigh.
“But the slit… it’s a bit too high,” he remarked, politely and tactfully. As a straight-A person, he believed in treating others with kindness while maintaining strict personal discipline. “Even for a male alpha, you should still take good care of yourself when you’re outside.”
Jiang Ci: “…”
Confirmed, it’s another asshole who verbally likes to be a jerk.
Under the mask, the omega’s beautiful face was completely dark. He tightened his cloak and gritted his teeth.
“…….”
“Look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
“Wow, so fierce!”
Huo Xianfeng was stunned again, but then he went, “Huh?” because he felt that this voice was somewhat familiar. However, it wasn’t the time for casual chat because the moment the young man successfully deciphered the code lock on the door, a piercing alarm sounded.
Bzzz——
“A-Ci, time’s up!” Little X’s anxious voice chimed in, blending with the sizzling sound of electricity. The five-minute surveillance coverage was over, and all the cameras illuminated with a crimson and cold light. Jiang Ci and Huo Xianfeng’s images immediately appeared on the large screen in the control room.
“Warning! Warning! A violent intrusion has been detected; highest security protocol will be activated soon.”
“Warning! Warning! Intruders, please drop your weapons!”
Swish——
Suddenly, numerous dark muzzles extended from the ceiling, each with a red dot aimed at the two intruders. Then, fully armored guards rushed towards them.

Wow, this guy really has pale legs!
Boom——!
With a thunderous bang, the heavy alloy door swung open, and at the same moment, the ceiling-mounted guns opened fire.
An energy ball, shimmering with blue electrical arcs, shot from Huo Xianfeng’s gun, instantly transformed into a blue power web, intercepting the rain of bullets fired at them.
By this time, Huo Xianfeng had already turned around and slipped in behind Jiang Ci. He casually shattered the monitoring equipment and, with swift movements, he slammed the door shut, changed the password again, and locked it.
“Damn, they got in!”
“Contact the control room immediately; force the door open…”
Clearly, the room was soundproofed effectively. As soon as the door closed, the chaotic noise and commotion outside were silenced.
Huo Xianfeng examined the extremely ornate room, taking in the view of the perfectly organized shelves filled with an array of unique treasures. He quickly scanned the room and realized it contained gemstones, antiques, and various exotic plants. It was not a storage area for mechas and weapons.
Tsk!
The teenager furrowed his brow, realizing they had ventured into the wrong place.
However, this unexpected turn of events suited Jiang Ci perfectly. Because there are many plants stored here, it proves that the Gardenia Rose Blossom should be here. He quickly identified all kinds of strange plants on the shelf, looking for the gorgeous flower shown in the document.
Inside the sealed room, Huo Xianfeng suddenly caught a familiar scent of flowers in the air.
“!”
His pupils dilated slightly. Although he hadn’t seen the person’s face, he immediately recognized the individual.
——It’s that beta perfume!
Huo Xianfeng didn’t expect their objectives to overlap like this. He had planned to find the mecha first and then locate the person, but it turned out that they were heading for the same destination.
However, were all betas this formidable now?
Weren’t pregnant betas supposed to be quite weak, as Tang Cha had mentioned?
The young man’s mind was filled with question marks. As he contemplated these thoughts, he didn’t realize that he was following closely behind Jiang Ci, subconsciously trying to catch a whiff of the scent on the beta.
——The movement is like a big cat smelling catnip, brimming with delight and excitement.
Huo Xianfeng found it hard to contain his cheerful and eager emotions.
Damn, what kind of perfume is this? Why does it smell so good?
Click.
Jiang Ci suddenly sensed something amiss ahead and abruptly halted. Unfortunately, Huo Xianfeng, who was following closely behind, didn’t brake in time, and his chin collided with the back of Jiang Ci’s head.
The omega major general’s back stiffened.
Boom!
The next moment, a sharp elbow strike connected with Huo Xianfeng’s chest. Fortunately, he reacted in time and deflected most of the force, or else he might have suffered a fracture.
“Hiss…”
Huo Xianfeng took several steps back, rubbing his aching sternum. He hadn’t even spoken a word before Jiang Ci, already on high alert, questioned him.
“What are you trying to do?”
“…”
The young man fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about how likely he would be regarded as a pervert if he asked what kind of perfume he was wearing.
Sadly, the answer was a resounding one hundred percent yes.
Seeing that Huo Xianfeng remained silent, and since there were only about three minutes left, Jiang Ci had to find the Gardenia Rose Blossom immediately and make his escape. He raised his dagger, coldly issuing a threat.
“If you don’t want to die, stay away…”
“I just want to ask you a question,”
Huo Xianfeng took a step forward and approached the other party.
After all, his purpose in seeking this person was clearly to ask this question. Who cares whether they are perverted or not? It’s not like he’s his future wife, what’s the point of a good impression?
The young man approached very closely, surpassing the typical safety distance Jiang Ci was accustomed to. Strangely, despite the fact that Huo Xianfeng, as an alpha, should have induced a strong physiological disgust response in him, but his instincts failed to respond as usual.
——Because the other party did not release the pheromones that represented threat, dominance, or conquest.
Even so, Jiang Ci took a step back, maintaining a safe distance, and remained vigilant.
“What is the problem?”
Huo Xianfeng was no longer the same naive and boyish figure from a month ago. Now, he had even gained the advantage of looking down on the major general due to the few centimeters of height difference.
“What kind of perfume are you wearing?”
Huo Xianfeng approached again, taking another step. He lowered his head, and his breathing became increasingly hard to control.
Indeed, when he got closer, the unique floral fragrance grew even more pronounced. However, it didn’t seem like the typical aroma molecules adhering to the skin or fabric. Instead, it was more like the scent slowly emanating from this person’s bloodstream and marrow.
“Did you inject something or are you wearing perfume? How can it smell so good?”
Jiang Ci blinked in confusion. Perfume? He never used perfume. Moreover, in a world where everyone had pheromones, when someone mentioned that a person smelled nice, 99% of them are referring to the other person’s pheromones.
This was a highly private topic, usually only shared between husband and wife.
Although the other’s tone was straightforward and perhaps overly candid, hearing such a nonsense question made Jiang Ci zone out for a moment, and then he felt profoundly embarrassed. His knuckles clenched around the dagger as it made a cracking sound due to the force he was exerting.
Buzz—!
In response, Huo Xianfeng instantly sidestepped the slashing blade, the cold light narrowly missing his throat. He glanced at the glowing knife in Jiang Ci’s hand and raised an eyebrow.
“It’s actually a mecha?”
Most A-level or higher mechs had spatial folding technology, enabling them to transform from bulky mechas into compact accessories for easy portability. But there were very few mechas capable of a secondary transformation to serve as weapons.
“This guy is strong, A-Ci, don’t confront him head-on!”
Xiao X’s voice suddenly grew heavy.
But it was too late to stop now. In a flash of sparks, Jiang Ci found himself unexpectedly on the losing end of their confrontation. When he finally reacted, he realized he had been forced into a corner against the wall. His attempted counterstrike was thwarted as his wrist was seized and bent behind his back.
Thud!
Huo Xianfeng’s other hand gripped Jiang Ci’s nape, pressing the entire figure against the wall. His knee positioned against the back of Jiang Ci’s thigh, ensuring there was no room for resistance.
“Calm down. I don’t intend to harm you.”
After all, considering that Jiang Ci was a pregnant beta, Huo Xianfeng expertly controlled his strength, not only not hurting the other party, but also ensuring that the fierce beta would stop moving.
However, he didn’t realize the undertones of coercion and humiliation that his actions carried. At this moment, a slight tilt of his head would allow him to immediately bite into the softest and most sensitive part of Jiang Ci’s nape.
They were too close. Jiang Ci had never been held so close by an alpha. He could even sense the alpha’s scorching breath against the tip of his ear.
At this moment, Jiang Ci felt that all his strength had been drained out of his body, and his legs were almost so weak that they were trembling. Half his weight was pressed against the wall, and the other half was on the alpha behind him.
During an omega’s pregnancy, the skin and senses become nearly as sensitive as during their heat, not to mention around the gland area. The sensitive skin on the back of Jiang Ci’s neck was now in contact with the warm palm of the young alpha and, in the midst of their intense friction, it seemed to suddenly burn under the strong friction.
“Uh…”
Jiang Ci unconsciously let out a shaky gasp. Huo Xianfeng froze for a moment, and all of his cliché questions and interrogation methods he had originally thought of were wiped out.
Wait, what was he about to ask again?
