missing normal upload chapter 03
Huo Xianfeng looked at the gradually rising caution in those beautiful crimson eyes, and he lightly smiled.
Did he only think about guarding against him now? Isn’t it a bit too late?
However, even though Huo Xianfeng had some secret and dark thoughts a moment ago, he didn’t have any concrete plans to implement them. He slightly increased the safe distance between them and continued walking forward.
“How about we make a bet?” Huo Xianfeng suggested.
Jiang Ci caught up, frowning. “Bet on what?”
“Bet on whether I can guess the reason you’re pregnant or not.”
“…”
What other reason could exist for an omega to be pregnant?!
What else can there be but a knot?
Jiang Ci felt that this guy was full of dirt and definitely had no good intentions. So, the Major General immediately darkened his expression, ready to leave in brisk steps. However, Huo Xianfeng seemed to have guessed his thoughts.
“If I don’t guess it right, you can make me do anything you want to.”
The beautiful omega paused, subconsciously confirming once,
“—Anything is valid?”
“Yeah,” Huo Xianfeng turned around, a faint ripple of a smile appearing in the deep depths of his eyes.
“—Anything is fine.”
He slightly elongated the last syllable, making it echo in the empty cave with an inexplicable sexy and bewitching flavor.
“…”
Jiang Ci resisted the urge to rub his ears. He stared at Huo Xianfeng for a few seconds, seemingly confirming the sincerity of the youth’s words.
“What if you guess it right? What would happen?”
“Then you truthfully answer a question for me.”
Jiang Ci was surprised, “Just one question?”
Huo Xianfeng nodded, appearing very sincere. “Yes, just one question.”
“…”
—This seems to be a pretty safe bet.
The silver-haired Major General fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, “It can’t be about personal privacy, and it can’t involve moral principles.”
“Of course.”
Huo Xianfeng grinned.
Jiang Ci was quite familiar with that smile, so much so that at this moment, he suddenly wanted to regret it. Whenever this young man had malicious intentions, he would reveal this kind of smile.
Instead of directly providing an answer, the young alpha began analyzing from the very beginning.
“Before, Rhodes was extremely shocked when he found out you were marked, which means that, in their perception, you are not married, and you haven’t even been marked.”
So why would Jiang Ci emit the pheromones characteristic of a pregnant omega? Besides, the military wouldn’t send a pregnant omega into battle.
Therefore, it meant that, in the previous month on Earth, when Jiang Ci fought with Huo Xianfeng, the latter hadn’t been pregnant, nor had he been marked.
Of course, Huo Xianfeng didn’t explicitly say this, or else he’d have lost his secret cover.

So, only the second possibility remains—
“You injected some kind of drug that changed your pheromones, making people think you’re pregnant. Meanwhile, this can also explain why there are no other alpha pheromones in your body.”
Jiang Ci: “…”
Unexpectedly… he got it all right!!! The purpose of his visit to Winter Day Planet was not just to get the antidote for his body. The main goal of this trip was to investigate and, at the very least, make meritorious service by identifying the person behind the Gardenia Rose Blossom. This would help lighten some of the penalties for He Zhun. After all, the Zergs had just revived, and the appearance of Gardenia Rose Blossom on Winter Day Planet was definitely suspicious. In this matter, He Zhun had definitely made a mistake, a quite big one.
But Huo Xianfeng seemed unwilling to stop there. He tilted his head in thought and even guessed a step further,
“If I’m not mistaken, the beta you communicated with earlier should be the one who injected you with this drug!”
After all, the tone of the conversation and the unconscious movements were very much like the professional habits of a doctor. Moreover, once Jiang Ci regained mobility, he immediately called him. If it wasn’t for some intimate blood relationship, it could only be a doctor-patient relationship.
“You…”
Jiang Ci was shocked, “What on earth are you…”
But in that moment of shock, he suddenly realized that what Huo Xianfeng said just now was not an explicit confession, it was really just a literal inquiry.
“…”
At this moment, the silver-haired Major General didn’t know whether to be shocked by the youth’s keen observation, the overly rapid and accurate reasoning, or to be annoyed at his own mistaken self-conception a moment ago.
“How did you know he’s a beta?”
After all, it wasn’t possible to identify pheromones through communication alone.
—This is simple.
Huo Xianfeng first ruled out alphas. Given Jiang Ci’s personality, he would never become close friends with an alpha. So why not an omega?
“Hmm…”
The young man said calmly, “—Because he’s not as good-looking as you.”
He Zhun had the kind of modest and gentle appearance that was not stunning at first glance but became very interesting once you took a closer look. However, compared to the excessively exquisite and beautiful omegas, he paled in comparison.
Jiang Ci: “…”
Although, statistically speaking, omegas do tend to have slightly more delicate features than other genders, judging solely based on this aspect is perhaps…
The Major General turned his head and coldly rebuked, “Superficial!”
“…”
Huo Xianfeng wasn’t angry at all; he just shrugged.
Having lost the bet, Jiang Ci remained silent for a while before deciding to uphold the terms of the wager. He turned to Huo Xianfeng and asked, “What do you want to ask me in the end?”
Seeming to have just remembered this part, the young man casually replied, “Hmm, I haven’t thought about it yet…”
Such an attitude made it seem like he had just played an overly simple game on a whim, but as the other party in the game, Jiang Ci lost miserably!
Most importantly, the other person didn’t even care about the prize they won.
“—Let’s save it for later.”
Jiang Ci, who was afraid of being asked some sharp questions and made mental preparations for quite a long time: “…”
If he ever made another bet with this guy, he’d change his last name!
Every time they had a confrontation, Jiang Ci ended up frustrated. So he refused to talk to this alpha any longer and the two fell silent as they continued to move forward.
Twenty minutes later, according to the directions given by the larvae, Huo Xianfeng felt that he was almost there and was about to say something, but at this time, Jiang Ci suddenly turned his head and looked at him——
“Your bet just now was intentional!”
The Major General finally came to his senses.
“…Intentional about what?”
The young man innocently blinked.
Seeing that familiar expression on his face, Jiang Ci couldn’t hold back anymore. He grabbed the other’s collar and pressed him against the nearby rock wall.
“Huo Xianfeng!!!”
Jiang Ci lowered his voice, his teeth gritting in annoyance.
“You obviously knew long ago…”
This guy clearly guessed the truth earlier, intentionally asking about the child in his stomach, which alpha claimed him, and so on…
—It was clearly just to intentionally tease him!
Crash…
Suddenly, several pieces of gravel the size of fingernails fell from above and a faint warm light overflowed from the corner, both of them freezing in place. They stopped their brawl and walked around the corner in front of them.
In the distance, the previously thick and dark space was suddenly illuminated by a warm orange light.
—It was a huge energy reactor.
Countless photon tracks surrounded the reactor, transferring all the energy upward. These photon tracks were forged from numerous crystals, reflecting dazzling lights from different angles as the energy liquid flowed through them.
Such a massive energy reactor could almost sustain the energy expenditure of ten underground cities. But where was such a large amount of energy being transported, and for what purpose?
Huo Xianfeng looked up, squinting slightly. His gaze followed the countless interwoven photon tracks upward.
—Found it.
Above the reactor’s hollow space on the stone wall, there was the wreckage of an extremely large mecha, and countless tiny photon tracks shuttled through it like thousands of blood vessels.
This huge mecha skeleton looked like it was only in a semi-complete state, yet it was almost as large as the SS mecha that Huo Xianfeng had seen on Earth.
The remaining mecha frame was fragmented, and each piece carried the lingering smoke and blood from a long time ago. Just sitting there quietly gave people an intense and evil aura.
However, it was clear that this wreckage had been carefully cleaned and repaired. However, its chest was empty, as if someone had taken out its heart.
“This is…”
Jiang Ci widened his eyes; his pupils growing due to extreme shock.
“—Forbidden Abyss!”
Or more precisely, it was the wreckage of the Forbidden Abyss.
Jiang Ci had seen it before because there were photos of the Forbidden Abyss in Zhou Jiuya’s study.
Forbidden Abyss, the only SSS mecha owned by humans, the symbol of Marshal Huo Chao.
“So, that’s it…”
Jiang Ci finally understood. He looked at the giant mecha wreckage in front of him, murmuring softly,
“So, it turns out that he… they all came here to compete for this.”
Huo Xianfeng gazed at the huge wreckage in front of him, muttering softly,
“Forbidden Abyss…?”
He knew that the Forbidden Abyss was Marshal Huo Chao’s mecha, but according to the information, it should have turned to dust three hundred years ago. How could it suddenly be hidden underground on the Winter Day Planet?!
Could it be that the Church wanted the wreckage of the Forbidden Abyss?
No, no, no matter how powerful a mecha is, once it’s scrapped, it’s just a pile of scrap iron. The only part with real value is the core integrated with the cockpit on the mecha’s chest.
However, since the Forbidden Abyss’ wreckage is on Winter Day Planet, its core must also be here!
Huo Xianfeng finally realized this. The military and the Church suddenly appearing on Winter Day Planet at the same time was for the Forbidden Abyss’ core!
Clearly, Jiang Ci also guessed this and he put the silver bracelet back on his wrist.
Crack—!
After a crisp sound, ultra-thin alloy wires shot out from the silver bracelet and were deeply embedded into the rock wall next to Forbidden Abyss’ wreckage.
Huo Xianfeng frowned, “What are you doing?”
“Checking the cockpit to see if there are any clues inside.”
After saying that, he pressed a button, and his whole person suddenly turned into a sharp arrow, shooting straight up.
But just as he took off, he felt a weight on his calf.
Jiang Ci looked down and, sure enough, saw that familiar alpha hanging on his calf.
“Huo Xianfeng!”
“Present.”
“…”
Forget it.
Jiang Ci choked for a few seconds and finally chose not to argue with him.
After all, this guy is always so unreasonable; there’s simply no way to argue with him.
Click.
Jiang Ci grabbed a fragment of the mecha’s broken leg with one hand. Due to his left shoulder injury, he could only use his right hand. Additionally, the rope was not long enough, so he could only climb up from Forbidden Abyss’s calf using his bare hands.
But Huo Xianfeng was too heavy. Jiang Ci found it difficult to climb up with just one hand, let alone with two people.
“Let go!”
“…”
Huo Xianfeng looked up, his gaze pausing for a moment on the large, dried bloodstain on the other’s left shoulder.
The next moment, Jiang Ci felt the weight on his leg slightly lighten. However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the other party pinched his ankle and pulled him down!
Swoosh!
Caught off guard, Jiang Ci was abruptly pulled down.
“What the…”
However, the intense feeling of weightlessness lasted only two seconds. The beautiful omega fell with a “thump” onto Huo Xianfeng’s broad shoulders.
The sudden fall and change in posture made Jiang Ci’s body tense up instantly.
His current position was quite peculiar, almost like being propped up on the other’s shoulder. This meant that, in this hundred-meter-high altitude, the only points supporting his entire body were the other’s shoulders.
This way of entrusting his life and safety to someone else made him feel very insecure. His pupils dilated, unconsciously gripping tightly to the clothes on the young man’s back, like a cat afraid of heights.
“Huo Xianfeng! Are you fucking…” sick?
The latter lightly patted Jiang Ci’s waist and said in a deep tone, “Hold on tight.”
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the young alpha exerted some force, and his clothing was tightly pressed against the wind, bulging up. He swiftly ascended, agile and fierce like a black panther.
“present”

“If he ever made another bet with this guy, he’d change his last name!”
My reaction was they’re getting married? * O *
I know chinese people don’t change last names after marriage but I can’t help but say AYYYY IS THIS A FLAG FOR CHANGING YOUR LAST NAME TO ‘HUO’, A-CI? 🤣🤣
Also, I’ll say this again and again, cheeky, humorous and shameless gong is forever wayyyyyyyyy much better than the cold unfeeling domineering type who are incapable of emotions other than jealousy 😌👌✨️
