The Empire has three major legions, but the First Legion is undoubtedly the strongest. Not only because it was reorganized from the late Dawn Legion led by Marshal Huo Chao, but also because, before Jiang Ci joined, it was a legion where all soldiers and officers were alphas.
—And its bachelor rate was as high as ninety-nine percent.
Therefore, even if there was only a faint scent in the wind, it was quickly perceived by everyone.
In fact, they usually couldn’t sense Jiang Ci’s pheromones because the Major General injected suppressants every six months and used various pheromone masking agents. He tried almost every method to get rid of the ‘weak omega’ label in himself.
But at this moment, all of Jiang Ci’s efforts were shattered. Because the breeze brought a faint scent, and the message inside was very clear to everyone in the entire First Legion—
He was now a marked omega, a pregnant omega!!!
Jiang Ci: “………”
I cannot believe this.
If it were just one or two people, he could try to explain the misunderstanding as he did with Zhou Jiuya just now. But now it was an entire legion! The whole legion misunderstood him!!!!
Originally, Jiang Ci had skillfully concealed the false pregnancy scent brought by the Gardenia Rose. Who would have expected that, due to Huo Xianfeng’s over injection of pheromones, all of his disguises would fail?!
However, the culprit was completely unaware. Instead, he was bewildered by Jiang Ci’s sudden words. Even though the other person had lowered his voice just now, the intensity of that sentence seemed to want to directly pounce over and bite him.
Huh????
He did something again?
Huo Xianfeng: “……???”
What did he do? He has been standing here quietly the whole time, hasn’t he?
In fact, when all the alphas present at the scene smelled the omega pheromones mixed with excessive alpha traits, their initial reaction wasn’t to think about Jiang Ci.
Instead, they completely overlooked the fact that the pheromone was coming from Jiang Ci —
Huh?!
“Heavens! This is…!!”
“Oh my god, an omega! Isn’t this the scent of an omega’s pheromones?!”
Generally speaking, the sweet scent of omega pheromones usually makes alphas unable to control themselves, making them frantically smell for it and search for its source. However, after just taking the first breath, their faces changed drastically, and they covered their mouths and noses.
This was because the scent was too rich in alpha pheromones, and it was unusually fierce.
But the most important piece of information was—
“No, this scent seems a bit strange?!!”
Although very faint,
— that was the smell unique to pregnant omegas.
Oh my god! There’s actually a pregnant omega near the battlefield ruins!!!
This precious and delicate omega, still in the early stages of pregnancy, must be protected immediately!!!
So, everyone frantically searched and scanned their surroundings. Until finally, with a shocked expression, they discovered that the only possible option at this moment…

Of course, it must be Jiang Ci, the omega who once beat all the army’s alpha officers to a pulp!!!!
So… the alpha who marked him…
The scorching gazes of the entire legion formed a standard “Z” circulating loop at this moment.
First, it stuck to Huo Xianfeng because of the Forbidden Abyss’ appearance, then it teleported to Jiang Ci next to him because of the sudden attack of omega pheromones.
Later, because of the suspicion that he was the alpha suspect who marked and impregnated the Major General, their gazes returned to Huo Xianfeng once again.
At this moment, the air was no longer filled with the sweet scent of an omega, but the smell of melons.
Jiang Ci: “………”
After finishing a battle, why does it feel like these people’s minds are all stuck in a pit? Just as he was thinking quickly about a way to remedy the situation, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear.
“Hmm?”
Following his good habit of asking questions when in doubt, Huo Xianfeng lowered his head slightly, leaned in, and asked in a low voice,
“What’s my fault?”
Jiang Ci: “……..”
For some reason, in other aspects, this guy is sharp and intelligent to the extreme, even bordering on being a genius. Yet, in this particular matter, he’s remarkably dull.
But when the young man approached, a faint scent of pheromones was also around him, and it came closer. Jiang Ci’s nape tightened abruptly, and his Adam’s apple rolled slightly. So, he could only turn his head in annoyance and refuse to answer.
The Major General looked like an angry rabbit, which made Huo Xianfeng find him strangely cute. He leaned in a bit more and said, “Quickly tell me so I can strive for improvement next time~”
“………？？？”
Jiang Ci suddenly turned his head, and his reddish-pink pupils widened. This expression truly seemed like he was about to bite someone.
—Strive for improvement next time?!!
“Huo Xianfeng!”
The Major General no longer thought this guy was slow; he was definitely doing it on purpose. After all, he had already witnessed Huo Xianfeng’s extremely bad character.
“It’s just a temporary mark… You…”
Because if it were truly just a simple temporary marking with a shallow input of pheromones, nothing like this would have happened.
So, this pot, I mean, this is originally Huo Xianfeng’s problem!!!
Jiang Ci couldn’t say anything else because, at this moment, the alphas around them had intensely hot gazes. Like a densely packed field of kilowatts light bulbs.
“….”
Seeing the handsome face of the young man so close, he could even clearly see his own angry expression reflected in those deep black phoenix eyes.
Jiang Ci suddenly froze. Only now did he realize that the distance between him and Huo Xianfeng seemed a little too close.
In the past, he had always maintained a very safe social distance from others. Even with He Zhun, who had grown up with him since childhood, there had never been such close intimate contact.
But after this brief three-day interaction, Jiang Ci was now shockingly aware that his body had become accustomed to Huo Xianfeng’s proximity. Even in the moments he didn’t notice, he had unconsciously accepted such an intimate distance from the other.
“!!!”
The silver-haired Major General immediately held down the young man’s shoulder, pushing him away with a fierce expression.
“Stand… stand back! Are your bones soft? Don’t get so close to me!”
“….”
Although this interaction only lasted a few seconds, in the eyes of the onlookers, it might as well be a top-tier template for a couple teasing and flirting. After all, if it were someone else who dared to get this close to Major General Jiang Ci… Oh no, the latter wouldn’t even give them the opportunity; they would probably be beaten into a pig’s head before getting this close.
Huo Xianfeng also didn’t say anything; he just let out a low chuckle and stood still as instructed.
Compared to the statue-like alpha soldiers around him, the young man’s posture was very casual. He had both hands loosely crossed over his chest, exuding a noble feeling of laziness.
Standing among this group of serious and upright soldiers, he looked like a top-notch male model who was ready to walk on the catwalk anytime and anywhere.
Although most alphas were just spectators, there were a few suitors who were jealous and bitter in their hearts. After all, no matter how formidable Jiang Ci was, he remained a highly charming omega. At this moment, among the countless scorching gazes, there were many malicious and aggressive looks directed at him.
Huo Xianfeng couldn’t sense pheromones, but he was sensitive to others’ gazes. Although he belatedly realized it, he could probably guess what the other party was upset about just now.
At this moment, the young man suddenly reached out and, through a thin layer of fabric, pressed on Jiang Ci’s nape.
Almost the instant the touch occurred, he clearly sensed the muscles under his hand stiffening. The next second, the fierce pheromones of an alpha were released, instantly covering all traces of the omega’s scent. And, starting with Huo Xianfeng as the epicenter, his alpha pheromones began attacking in all directions like a tsunami.
“!!!!”
In that instant, the faces of everyone present changed drastically, and they unconsciously retreated several steps. Under such a strong threat, even their gazes could hardly help but avoid the source.
Even Zhou Jiuya, an S-rank alpha, couldn’t prevent his pupils from trembling.
This move was like an extremely extravagant and arrogant declaration of sovereignty.
—It’s confirmed!!!
The alpha who marked Major General Jiang Ci was definitely the alpha in front of them!!!
At this moment, no one had the mood to report any military information. Even Zhou Jiuya’s adjutant, Li Ya, who was always calm and rational, was stunned. However, his first reaction wasn’t to look at Jiang Ci or Huo Xianfeng but to look at Zhou Jiuya’s face.
“Commander, this—”
The deputy abruptly fell silent.
Uh… As expected,
—His face turned green.
Jiang Ci was completely stiff, unable to utter a single word. But Huo Xianfeng seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask. He lightly turned his wrist bone and leaned down, lowering his gaze.
At this moment, the force on the back of his neck forced the silver-haired omega to lift his head, looking up at the young man.
The distance between the two suddenly shortened to a dangerously intimate level.
“Since the explanation is so difficult, just sit back and relax.”
Huo Xianfeng’s slender phoenix eyes were a deep black, making it impossible to discern the emotions within them.
“After all, our transaction will continue for the next month, won’t it?”
“—Your Excellency, Major General?”
He gently hooked the corner of his lips, and the following four words were spoken particularly slowly, his slightly magnetic voice dragging out in a kind of lazy sensuality, almost making Jiang Ci’s entire scalp tingle.
In this moment, Jiang Ci’s only solace lay in the fact that the overwhelming pheromones had compelled nearly all alphas to avert their eyes just moments ago. Consequently, no one witnessed him being dominated by other.
Thankfully, this forced posture lasted for less than ten seconds. Soon, Huo Xianfeng released his grip, simultaneously toning down the excessively sharp and intimidating pheromones from before.
“…”
With the frightening invasion finally subsiding, Jiang Ci regained his composure. A noticeable blush appeared on his pale profile, whether influenced by the alpha’s pheromones or the intense emotions swirling within him.
“You…!”
Anger, shame, and other unfamiliar emotions all surged simultaneously at this moment in his heart.
“…Regarding the matter of the Winter Day Planet, I will compile a comprehensive report and submit it later. Now, I’m not feeling well, so I’ll return to the warship first.”
Jiang Ci quickly spoke and grabbed Huo Xianfeng’s wrist, growling in a low voice,
” —You, come with me!”
“Ugh…”
Huo Xianfeng raised an eyebrow but didn’t resist, obediently being led away by Jiang Ci.
“…”
Everyone silently watched the two figures leaving. Then, someone finally broke the silence,
“What do you think they’re going to do?”
“…He has just asserted his dominance. What do you think they can do now?”
“…”
Seemingly contemplating something unhealthy, the air was filled with the sound of surprised gasps in succession.
“Hiss—!”
Hou Xiangfeng soooo naughty~
