two extra chapters thanks to Kumiko Miwa! Second update tomorrow, don’t miss it~
To be honest, the moment the young man handed him the handkerchief, Jiang Ci’s brain experienced a brief blankness. It felt like a sharp corner in the depths of his mind had suddenly collapsed.
However, before he could decide whether to take it or not, his nose suddenly caught a familiar scent. It was somewhat like the smell of the auction’s safe room alpha.
So, could it be that this guy in front of me is the same alpha from back then?
In an instant, a layer of frost abruptly condensed in Jiang Ci’s crimson eyes. Was this person approaching him with some undisclosed conspiracy? Or perhaps, had this guy been tracking him all along, hiding in the corner and watching the whole spectacle, only to appear now as if he were some kind of hero descending from the sky?
As numerous conspiracy theories flashed through his mind, Jiang Ci made a move!
Bang!
The bag that the young man was holding fell to the ground. Various nutritional supplements of different flavors spilled out, casting a colorful glow on the blood-stained ground.
Right at this moment, Jiang Ci grabbed Huo Xianfeng’s collar and pressed him against the wall. The latter’s shoulder blades hit the wall heavily, emitting a very clear and exaggerated muffled sound.
However, what Jiang Ci didn’t know was that, in the instant his hand reached out, Huo Xianfeng cooperated by quickly stepping back, and then—
He collided with the wall.
Yes, he crashed into it himself.
After all, Huo Xianfeng had no intention of fighting back against the other. Beyond everything, this was indeed an omega.
A bruised, beautiful pregnant omega, who had just been tortured. It’s quite normal for him to feel a strong sense of insecurity and aggression after being threatened.
Like encountering a battered but incredibly cute ragdoll cat on the roadside, even if it hisses at you menacingly, you won’t feel any threat. On the contrary, you might feel like buying it a can of cat food.
In any case, the young man’s entire movement sequence was very smooth and fluid, like a choreographed fight scene in a movie or TV show. Even from Jiang Ci’s perspective, it looked like he had really pressed the other against the wall.
Even more surprisingly, Huo Xianfeng spontaneously added a groan of pain, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if enduring great suffering.
Jiang Ci: “……..?”
He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he had exerted too much force just now. After all, he had just gone through a difficult fight and exerted a lot of energy. Even lifting his gun felt a bit challenging.
So, is this alpha a bit too weak?
At this point, Huo Xianfeng, being pressed against the wall by the omega, had his back tightly against it, resembling a freshly pasted small advertisement.
“Calm down, I don’t mean to harm you.”
He specifically raised his hands to show the stressed ragdoll cat, oh no, omega, that he didn’t have any weapons.
“Are you…!”
Jiang Ci was about to question whether this guy was the alpha from the safe room, but he glimpsed the raised hand of the young man and suddenly froze.
—No scars.
At that time, Jiang Ci had fiercely cut a more than ten centimeters long gash on that alpha’s hand with a dagger. He remembered it vividly, and there were even burns around that deep cut caused by the electricity.
It’s been less than three hours, and it’s impossible to heal completely so fast. So, this young man is definitely not him.
But why do they smell so familiar?
Jiang Ci began to doubt himself. At this moment, he suddenly became uncertain whether what he smelled from the other person was their pheromones or just a momentary illusion due to the drug reaction.
As the only person in the entire Empire to enter the military as an omega and still be able to beat up alpha officers, Jiang Ci was extremely confident in his sensory perception and sense of smell.
He stared at Huo Xianfeng for a few seconds, then reached out to tear open the other’s collar.

Jiang Ci stared blankly at his own hand, his eyes showing an incredulous expression. The young man looked down at the stiff omega and suddenly felt that the other person didn’t seem that very smart.
He sighed softly, then silently reached out, helping the not-so-smart omega unbutton the top button of his own collar.
“There you go.”
Jiang ○ killed by society ○ Ci: “………”
This is probably the Omega Major General’s second social death in his life. The first time was just a few hours ago, when he accidentally exposed himself in front of an alpha while wearing a qipao.
The desperate omega tried to stay calm, lowering his head as if nothing had happened, and pressed against the young man’s collarbone to confirm the other person’s pheromones.
——Jiang Ci met such a strange alpha for the first time.
The young man’s pheromones were faint, even lighter than a beta’s, as if deliberately concealed. However, the subtle emanation was especially stimulating and enticing, like a soft feather gently brushing over the omega’s sensitive skin, causing waves of excited shivers in his sensory nerves.
At this moment, Jiang Ci was still in a passive estrus state, and his body instinctively urged him to seek refuge and comfort from a powerful alpha. There is even an obvious and tempting target within arm’s reach.
——This is the first time Jiang Ci didn’t feel repulsed by an alpha’s pheromones.
In fact, at this moment, he can’t even tell if he is confirming the other’s identity or simply indulging in the alpha’s pheromones out of greed.
Due to the height difference and Jiang Ci burying his head in the young man’s chest to confirm his pheromones, when Huo Xianfeng lowered his gaze, he could clearly see the omega’s back.
The thin qipao adhered tightly to his body, and a section of fabric around his waist had been torn, revealing a small portion of his exposed waist.
Under the dim light, the skin on the lower back looked like a piece of warm jade with a slight elasticity.
The torn fabric, following the omega’s movements, subtly revealed a deeper, rounder, and slightly sunken shadow.
—— It should be the dimple of the waist.
Further down, the fabric that was originally indented around the waist was supported again. Perhaps due to years of training and the omega gene expression, the lines were exceptionally beautiful, resembling a perfectly shaped peach, plump and alluring, arousing certain dark and unspeakable fantasies.
Huo Xianfeng’s Adam’s apple involuntarily rolled, and he awkwardly turned his head, forcing himself to avert his gaze.
…This guy smells too good.
Like a rose in full bloom, exuding a rich and intense floral fragrance all over, announcing its presence to all the butterflies in the world.
—But this is a pregnant omega.
The young man remembered Tang Cha’s words. Although he couldn’t sense pheromones, it didn’t affect Huo Xianfeng from obtaining information from other sources. It’s normal for omegas to disguise themselves as betas for safety, but no omega would pretend to be a pregnant beta.
In other words, this omega was really pregnant.
Huo Xianfeng silently cursed himself for being an idiot. Then he reached out and gently pressed Jiang Ci’s uninjured right shoulder, pushing him away a bit.
The young man covered his nose and mouth, as if he couldn’t bear Jiang Ci’s scent.
“You… are too close.”
Jiang Ci, who for the first time was rejected by an alpha: “……….??”
At this moment, the Major General, who was immersed in alpha pheromones, finally woke up.
However, his body didn’t.
The faint alpha pheromones just now not only failed to have a soothing effect but felt more like scratching an itch, causing his body in passive estrus to fall into a quagmire of irresistible desire.
The young alpha’s pheromones were obviously very light, but at this moment they seemed to infiltrate his body through every pore, reaching his bloodstream and nerve endings.
At this moment, Jiang Ci could hardly hold the gun in his hand. His body’s instinct was screaming at him to immediately discard this obstructing object, then embrace the alpha in front of him, be kissed, marked, and completely possessed.
He could clearly sense that he was secreting too many pheromones, so concentrated that it was almost like water condensing. Such a scent would attract even more violent alphas. It wouldn’t be just a dozen alphas, but the entire underground city might face a riot.
No one knew what kind of struggle between heaven and man occurred in Jiang Ci’s mind during these few minutes of silence. After a difficult series of mental gymnastics, he gritted his teeth and finally broke his principles.
But unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Jiang Ci and the young alpha in front of him almost spoke at the same time,
“—Can you give a temporary marking?”
“—Do you have suppressants?”
Jiang Ci was stunned, and Huo Xianfeng was bewildered.
Jiang Ci, who had been pursued by countless alphas since childhood, had his perception of the world completely shattered at this moment.
He couldn’t wrap his head around. How could the other person be completely indifferent to him in such a situation?!!!
Does this guy really not have any issues in the “male” department???!!!
Finally, the anger overcame the shame in General Jiang Ci’s head.
“Now! Immediately!!”
He raised the gun, firmly pressing it against the young man’s temple,
“Mark Laozi right now! Damn it!”
The well-mannered young master of the Jiang family threw his etiquette out the window, even uttering curses.
For the first time, Huo Xianfeng, an alpha, was threatened with a gun by an omega: “……….???”
The young man’s slender and delicate phoenix eyes widened for the first time, and his pupils shook with unprecedented clarity!
Wait, what’s happening to this world?
Aren’t all omegas supposed to be pretty, cute, and delicate?
How could they do something like forcing an alpha to mark them???!!!
Following closely behind, Huo Xianfeng’s perception of this world also collapsed at this moment.
Right now, the shocked and innocent expression on the black-haired youth made Jiang Ci feel, for a moment, that he was the alpha taking advantage of the situation, while the other person was just a simple, pitiful omega who happened to carelessly pass by.
“You…”
Huo Xianfeng’s Adam’s apple moved with difficulty, hesitating,
“A pregnant omega still should be… more reserved.”
Jiang Ci: “………???”
He instantly understood the reason for the other person’s rejection.
He wanted to explain himself, but he had no way to explain it.
The omega’s slender legs trembled slightly; he could hardly stand anymore. Still, he stubbornly refused to show the slightest sign of weakness, raising his head and trying hard to make a fierce expression to threaten the other person.
“Nonsense! Hurry up or… I’ll kill you!”
But now Jiang Ci didn’t know that when he raised his head, his beautiful face was blushing a peachy red, his silver lashes trembled, and there seemed to be a pool of flowing water in his eyes. The plump lips were slightly parted, not like a threat but more like requesting a kiss.
“……..”
Huo Xianfeng looked at Jiang Ci, who could barely stand, suddenly realizing that the other person probably had no suppressants.
No, wait, pregnant omegas can’t use suppressants.
But now, because of being stimulated by the alpha’s pheromones, this omega was going into passive heat, and the partner who could soothe him had already died. If this situation continues, the delicate omega’s body might suffer irreversible damage.
In severe cases, it could even lead to a miscarriage.
Perhaps this was the reason the other person was so anxious and even resorted to threatening him with a gun.
The young man suddenly realized—
Right, this should be the reason; otherwise, how could a delicate omega do such a thing?
At this moment, Huo Xianfeng’s powerful brainhole ability quickly found all the reasons for the other person.
After a moment of deadlock, the young man sighed and finally reached out to support Jiang Ci’s waist, pulling him and hugging his back.
“Okay, come closer.”
Whether by coincidence or intention, his palm happened to touch the area where the fabric was torn.
“Hmn…”
The omega reflexively made a low hum. Although the young man’s palm was just warm, when it touched him, Jiang Ci felt a slight burn. His muscles tightened suddenly, and he silently trembled due to the unfamiliar alpha’s touch.
But at this moment, he really had no strength. Two-thirds of his body weight rested on the other person’s hand that supported his waist, and the remaining one-third was supported by him barely clinging to the young man’s shoulder.
Huo Xianfeng held the omega in his arms with one hand, and with the other, he gently ran his fingers through his beautiful silver hair. Despite it being stained with blood, it still felt smooth, cool, and soft, just like high-quality silk.
At this moment, the two tightly embraced each other, resembling a deeply loving couple.
Huo Xianfeng gently pushed Jiang Ci’s hair aside. His qipao’s collar had been torn earlier, revealing a large expanse of fair and tender skin from the back of the neck down to the spine. In the dim light, it emitted a beautiful, glossy luster like high-quality jade.
Then, under the intense gaze of the young man, Jiang Ci’s skin began to blush with a shy and tempting pink hue.
Subsequently, Huo Xianfeng’s heated gaze focused on a certain point.
There, the most sensitive area of an omega’s entire body, was that small piece of trembling skin on his nape. The young man lowered his head to breathe it, and the fragrant floral scent entered his lungs, circulating through his entire bloodstream. While this scent might not drive him to lose his reason like those alphas manipulated by pheromones, it was enough to bring him delight.
—Huo Xianfeng suddenly wanted to know what this omega’s pheromones tasted like.
It was the first time he had such a strong idea after he discovered that he had lost his ability to recognize pheromones.
“Faster… hurry up…”
Jiang Ci stiffened all over, gritting his teeth and trembling, urging.
“Why are you still hesitating?!” It was just a temporary mark. To put it bluntly, it’s just a bite. It wasn’t a bond; it would be gone once the blood metabolized in a few days.
Before the Major General could fully mentally prepare himself for self-deception, he suddenly felt a warmth at the back of his neck. His pupils dilated abruptly, but the anticipated sharp pain did not come.
—Because it was a kiss.
Jiang Ci had once seen an omega with a temporary mark, but the young man’s actions now were far from the fierce and ferocious image of a beastly bite that Jiang Ci had in mind.
At this moment, the other party looked more like an elegant aristocrat, leisurely savoring an intricate dessert.
Clack—!
The pistol fell to the ground.
In that moment, Jiang Ci distinctly felt the entire process of pheromones being injected into him, making his pupils dilate to the maximum.
A reindeer ran with Biip Bops‘s puzzle piece and mixed it together with Kumiko Miwa‘s pieces! Fortunately we managed to find 2 pieces, but the reindeer trainer said that the third piece is still inside the hay pile…
This is funny and romantic at the same time.
Looking through my fingers
Only a few more puzzle pieces to go!
Ahhh I can’t till the next chapter! 😭🩷
