Extra chapter thanks to the kind Ko-fi Supporter and Kamichamakarin!
The young man’s sly laughter echoed very close to Jiang Ci’s ear, his warm breath brushing past his earlobe.
The moment his glands were affectionately touched, Jiang Ci’s brain almost came to a halt. Even his usually cold expression began to melt, involuntarily revealing a dazed but slightly pleased look.
Thus, it wasn’t until Huo Xianfeng laughed for a good few seconds that Jiang Ci realized he was being teased. As the gears of his momentarily stalled brain finally restarted, he suddenly became aware—
This guy did it on purpose!!!
Deliberately making him sleep in that bed, deliberately making him wear his clothes, deliberately teasing him without restraints, stimulating his omega’s instincts until they became unbearable, forcing him to seek comfort from this alpha.
Whether it was true or just Jiang Ci’s speculation, at this moment, the Major General was so infuriated and embarrassed that he fiercely retaliated, biting down on Huo Xianfeng’s collarbone.
At such close proximity, the young man could clearly smell the rich floral fragrance on Jiang Ci, as if he had fallen into a sea of roses. A rare, slightly intoxicated expression appeared in Huo Xianfeng’s eyes. This was the difference between this scent and pheromones—while one could evoke love and infatuation, it wouldn’t strip away rationality and leave only the instinct for reproduction, as pheromones did.
The weakened omega, lacking strength, found that his current most potent weapon was his teeth, so he exerted all the remaining energy in his body, wishing to tear off a piece of this vile and detestable guy.
“Ah…”
At the same moment, Huo Xianfeng, due to the unexpected pain, reflexively let out a muffled groan.
Although it was also a short and abrupt sound, his groan couldn’t be more different than Jiang Ci’s. The young man’s voice was permeated with the unique sexiness characteristic of an alpha, a very low tone, as if vibrating directly from his chest and penetrating Jiang Ci’s eardrums, eliciting fine electric currents to run in his skin.
However, the sudden sharp pain didn’t make Huo Xianfeng feel threatened or provoke negative emotions like anger. On the contrary, this subtle and acute stimulation generated a strange sense of pleasure in his heart.
In the darkness, the young man’s initial steady and peaceful breath finally became hot and rapid. His pupils, resembling those of an excited beast, suddenly dilated.
At this moment, the oblivious omega continued gnawing, and his sharp canine teeth pierced the young man’s skin, the tip of his tongue quickly tasting a bit of the sweet and tangy blood.
Compared to the pheromones emanating from Huo Xianfeng’s entire body, the concentration in his blood was much higher.
If we were to rank the concentration of pheromones in a human body, the highest would be the semen, followed by the pheromone fluid that is directly injected from an alpha’s canine teeth, and then the blood.
As a result, the initial resentful nibbling turned into sucking. However, the omega’s sharp little teeth were still embedded in his flesh. If he were forcibly pulled away at this moment, Huo Xianfeng had no doubt that this guy would bite off a piece of his flesh.
But, even if that happened, it wouldn’t matter.
At this moment, the young man extended one hand, and his five fingers slowly slid into the omega’s satin, cool, and soft silver hair, as if caressing a piece of high-quality silk.
Huo Xianfeng’s slightly heated fingertips leisurely massaged him. His hands were large, quickly rubbing over every inch of skin hidden beneath the strands of hair. Immediately, Jiang Ci felt as if the countless sensory nerve endings in his scalp were trembling and contracting.

In the extreme darkness, the silver bracelet on his wrist became the only source of light, clearly outlining his appearance. The Major General was still running a low fever, his entire brain in a dazed state.
His originally pale cheeks were now completely flushed, and his waist and abdomen were so soft that he could hardly straighten up.
In the hazy cold light, Jiang Ci saw a pair of long, narrow and cold phoenix eyes.
“What’s your name?” The alpha’s voice was low and inviting.
After being marked, an omega would have extreme trust in the alpha who marked them. Moreover, this did not involve any sensitive information or military secrets, so in a state where most of his sanity was lost, Jiang Ci easily answered the young man’s question.
“Ah… A-Ci…”
Not Jiang Ci, but A-Ci.
His response was the most intimate nickname.
At this moment, Huo Xianfeng put into practice the famous saying from the Imperial Physiology textbook’s fifth chapter— the first step for an alpha to claim an omega is to create and satisfy their physiological needs.
A-Ci?
Which “Ci”?
Huo Xianfeng lowered his eyes, and his slightly warm gaze roaming over the omega’s jade porcelain-like fair and moist skin.
—It should be the “Ci” in “porcelain.”
He released Jiang Ci’s chin, and when the force that had been supporting him was removed, the latter’s head almost immediately lay on the young man’s chest. His flexible chest muscles made Jiang Ci feel safe and comfortable, and he even unconsciously nuzzled against it.
At this point, the omega’s restlessness, unease, and discomfort that had lasted for several hours gradually faded away under the gentle reassurance, and even his low fever temperature began to return to normal.
Jiang Ci felt extremely tired and exhausted. He pressed his face against Huo Xianfeng’s chest, searching for the closest position to his heart, and his dense eyelashes slowly closed, like two silver butterflies perching and sleeping.
Huo Xianfeng held his waist with one hand to prevent him from slipping, and the other hand gently stroked his beautiful silver hair, casually asking, “Why did you come here?”
“…”
A drowsy and vague hum came from the omega’s chest, and he seemed to have already fallen asleep.
—But it did not provide the answer that Huo Xianfeng wanted.
Originally, there was another question, but when Huo Xianfeng opened his mouth to ask, he just gently resumed patting Jiang Ci’s back until his breathing became shallow and long. Then he gently pulled up the blanket, wrapped this person up, and carried him back to bed.
Because he had lived for a long time in places where many alphas gathered, coupled with his overly exquisite and beautiful appearance, Jiang Ci had become accustomed to maintaining a cold expression, as this would help him break away from the label of being a weak and delicate omega. Wherever he went, he would be respectfully addressed as “Major General”.
Even Lin Jin, an alpha who thought highly of himself, would still feel extreme reverence towards him even after knowing his omega gender.
But when he was asleep, everything returned to its original state.
That beautiful face was buried in the fluffy, cloud-like pillow, and his side-profile was squeezed into a flushed flesh lump. His lips were slightly open, and his inner lips were moistened from the recent nibbling, making him look… very kissable.
But Huo Xianfeng just stared at him for a few seconds, then turned and walked out.
The underground city incident is not over, and he still needs to verify some things.
This was the most peaceful and comfortable sleep Jiang Ci had ever had since he became an adult. He even broke his habit of getting up early and slept until noon. The next day, when he woke up, he blankly stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for a full minute before gradually recalling the memories of the last night. Every detail was like a blue-ray film playing in his mind.
Whoosh—
The shocked Major General suddenly sat up, his back stiff.
Wait, what did he do last night…
While Jiang Ci was still confirming the authenticity of his memories, a familiar and childish voice brought him back to reality.
“—Are you awake?”
Jiang Ci turned his head, his eyes suddenly cold and alert, until he saw a familiar face at the door.
“Hello, handsome gege, my name is Tang Cha.” The little girl was completely unafraid and openly greeted Jiang Ci. “You…”
Jiang Ci was surprised to meet her here again. He remembered Tang Cha and was deeply impressed by this little girl. But why was she here?
“Oh, it was Xiao Huo-gege who asked me to take care of you last night.” Tang Cha blinked. “But if we count the time, he should be back soon.”
Jiang Ci didn’t respond.
After a night’s rest, his brain rebooted and returned to its normal working speed.
Now he knew that Tang Cha was acquainted with Huo Xianfeng. That also meant that when he first arrived on the Winter Day planet, the other party knew about him, or it was very likely that he had already set his sights on him…
Was Huo Xianfeng’s appearance there just a coincidence? Or were the initial intentions of these two people who had helped him really that simple?
Jiang Ci was very guarded, and at this moment, his mind was quickly deducing countless conspiracy theories. His beautiful face visibly became cold and wary.
Jiang Ci looked around, frowning. “…Where is he?”
“He went outside.” Tang Cha looked slightly worried. “I heard that the City Lord ordered the Winter Day planet to be completely sealed off, saying they were going to arrest people.”
At these words, Jiang Ci’s heart suddenly tightened. “Did they say who they were going to arrest?”
Tang Cha shook her head. “I’m not sure, but Xiao Huo-gege said it didn’t look like they were going to block the interstellar routes to arrest people. It’s more like they are building defensive fortresses and space stations, and they’ve also dispatched a lot of warships and aircraft carriers.”
“What?!” Jiang Ci immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If what Tang Cha said was true, it was very likely that a large-scale war would break out here.
For three hundred years, the Imperial Royal Family had been powerless and unable to do anything about this gray planet. How could a war suddenly break out?!
“But, you really are handsome.” Tang Cha found it difficult to take her eyes off this overly beautiful omega, her eyes full of amazement.
“Uhm… thanks.” Now that he knew the severity of the situation, Jiang Ci didn’t have time to ponder these topics with a little girl, and he was still wondering…
“——No wonder Xiao Huo-gege definitely knew you were pregnant and widowed,”
She shook her head like a little adult and sighed, “But he also said that he fell in love with you at first sight and couldn’t resist, becoming completely infatuated with you.”
Jiang Ci, who was still thinking about crazy conspiracy theories a second ago, was completely stunned: “…?”
Wait, what was I just thinking about???
Huo Xianfeng who heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door: “…?”
? ? ? ? ? ?
No, no, no. Wait, little girl, what are you talking about? ? ?
When had he ever said such a thing? ? ?
reading yesterday’s comments I really feel like Jiang Ci is like the pidge in this video (Pidge shows her dove love to her cockatiel boyfriend) XD. they can’t communicate because of HXF’s lack of understanding about pheromones and general omegaverse habits
Here’s the two puzzle pieces that we found thanks to Fan, Ko-fi supporter and Kamichamakarin!
Good job Tang Cha! :thumbs up:
We have little cupid here
…it really is like the video. Good thing there’s Tang Cha, who knows how long this misunderstanding would’ve lasted otherwise.
Thank you for the chapter!
Tang Cha you sly fox <(￣︶￣)↗
I feel like the misunderstandings are going to just get even more painful. Can’t wait for Jiang Ci to just get fed up and push Xiangfeng down on the bed at some point.
I love that video, it’s absolute perfection, thanks for sharing! 🕊💜
Sold by his little teammate.. lol
