In summary, the entire military system exploded due to this earth-shattering gossip.
It wasn’t just the First Legion; the Second and Third Legions exploded as well. After all, as an extremely rare omega in the Imperial Army and the only S-class omega in the entire Empire, Jiang Ci’s name was known to almost everyone.
In the anonymous forums, countless related posts were rapidly updating. As long as there are one or two keywords related to Major General Jiang Ci, hundreds of floors of a tall building could be quickly erected!
“Tsk, tsk, did you guys not see it? When that alpha declared his sovereignty in front of so many people, our Legion Commander’s face turned green.”
“Holy shit, which warrior was so brave? During the Legions’ joint individual soldier competition, he didn’t have a single equal competitor. Is there really an alpha in the world who can restrain him???”
“But whether it’s a temporary marking or something else, why am I hearing that he’s pregnant?”
“No way, over a month ago, I met the Major General, and at that time, he was still injecting suppressants!”
“But how come some people claim to have smelled it…”
“…”
While the military’s internal anonymous forum was going crazy with discussions, Jiang Ci was oblivious to all of this. He just wore a stern expression, tightly gripping Huo Xianfeng’s wrist, and quickly dragged the culprit into his room.
Whoosh—
The metallic door closed abruptly, and the silver-haired general swung his hand down.
Bang!
The back of Huo Xianfeng immediately hit the wall, emitting a slightly muffled sound. However, he didn’t seem angry; he just lazily leaned against the wall, his phoenix eyes smiling, leisurely watching Jiang Ci, who was fuming.
“What the hell do you mean?!”
What’s the meaning?
“What do I mean?” The young man raised an eyebrow. “Hmm, didn’t I already say it just now?”
Jiang Ci grabbed his collar, and his crimson pupils seemed to sharpen in this moment. After a brief silence, his voice, no longer as angry as before, took on a cold and calm tone.
“Aren’t you looking down on me a little too much, Huo Xianfeng?”
Due to their close proximity and the difference in height, the former had to tilt his head slightly, showing a somewhat vulnerable look. However, at this moment, Huo Xianfeng didn’t feel that the other party was at a disadvantage. Instead, he seemed somewhat imposing.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, the smile in his eyes fading a bit.
“What do you mean?”
“Your so-called declaration of sovereignty was just to bind yourself to me, right?”
—It’s just a superficial cover.
Huo Xianfeng could drive the Forbidden Abyss, and even control its core at will, but with an unknown origin and purpose, he posed a significant risk.
In theory, such a person, if they were to enter the Capital, would undoubtedly have to go through a rigorous political review and investigation by the Military Intelligence Department.
However, if he and Jiang Ci were to establish an intimate relationship in front of everyone, it meant that he is standing under the towering tree of the Jiang family, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Even if the Emperor wants to act against him, he would have to consider it more carefully.
“….”
In Huo Xianfeng’s understanding of Jiang Ci from their first meeting on Earth until now, he always felt that Jiang Ci was a very special omega. Based on his current understanding of the latter, if he had to find an accurate description, it would be a clean genius nurtured in a greenhouse. In the military environment, where rules were singular and victory or defeat was determined by strength and military achievements, Jiang Ci could undoubtedly thrive. He came from a good family, had high talent, and was a precious omega with the backing of the Legion Commander and the Emperor, making him almost untouchable.
But once he left the military, he would likely encounter many obstacles. In this world, everything is spoken through strength, but that strength is not just limited to physical force.
—Conspiracies also count.
But obviously, Jiang Ci lacked in this point, otherwise he would not be so trustful of He Zhun.
However, even though this was only one part of the reason, although Huo Xianfeng had thought about using Jiang Ci’s identity to avoid some military control and investigation, the move just now was purely a temporary move.
…He just didn’t expect that the other party would guess this layer so quickly and make progress!
After a moment of silence, the young man sighed lightly with a gentle smile,
“Jiang Ci, I really like your intelligence.”
—This sentence is equivalent to a disguised admission.
Huo Xianfeng had already guessed it after hearing that Zhou Jiuya and Jiang Ci had a legal guardianship relationship. After all, the legion leader wouldn’t just act as a guardian for normal people.
When it comes to human relations and the law, Huo Xianfeng can only think of one person’s child.
Jiang Jinsheng.
And it just so happens that they all have the surname Jiang.

“Are you running back to clarify? Then find someone to arrest me?”
“………”
Snap!
The silver-haired major general grabbed the young man’s wrist, and his tightly clenched five fingers made a creaking sound,
“—Why not?”
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth and asked back,
“Huo Xianfeng, do you think that with just a temporary mark, you can completely control me?”
“……”
Control?
Huo Xianfeng suddenly frowned, and he seemed to instinctively resist and resent this term. Even in
the brief moment of processing those words, he felt as if his heart was being suffocated by something.
The young man gazed into the omega’s eyes and shook his head lightly after a few seconds,
“No, it’s not.”
Huo Xianfeng had absolutely no interest in trying to control anyone. From the moment he woke up until now, he had only been searching for the truth.
Just like the question everyone would ask him,
Who are you?
—He couldn’t answer.
But obviously, the answer to this question was intricately linked to the death of Huo Chao.
After all, the place where Huo Xianfeng woke up was Huo Chao’s tomb,
The day he woke up was Huo Chao’s death anniversary,
He was clearly hailed as the King by the Zerg race, who perished with Huo Chao, yet he could control that person’s mecha, the Forbidden Abyss…
At this moment, Jiang Ci suddenly couldn’t understand Huo Xianfeng’s expression. Those deep black eyes seemed to hold something extremely complex, yet at the same time, it felt like there was nothing at all. After a while, he heard the young man let out a very light sigh,
“I never thought about controlling you, Jiang Ci.”
Jiang Ci suddenly froze; he had never heard Huo Xianfeng use such a solemn and resigned tone before.
“The reason I agreed to make a temporary mark that night was because I thought you were an omega who was desperate to avoid miscarriage.”
When the young man became serious, his gaze and tone seemed to carry a sincerity that was hard to refute.
“We can cooperate. I’ll help you repair the core of the Forbidden Abyss, and you will guarantee that I will not be subject to any surveillance or investigation by the military for three months. How about that?”
“You? Repair the core of the Forbidden Abyss?” Huo Xianfeng said he could do something that even his father, Jiang Jinsheng, couldn’t do back then?
The young man raised the corners of his lips in an arrogant arc,
“Yes, only me.”
“…For this kind of deal, your best partner should be the legion commander. I don’t have the right to command the Military Intelligence Department.”
After all, Zhou Jiuya’s influence in the military was much greater than that of Jiang Ci, a mere major general.
“No, I’m looking for you.”
The young man said in a low voice,
“Because among everyone here, I only trust you.”
“…”
Jiang Ci stared at him steadily, seemingly seriously confirming something.
Knock, knock—
The quiet atmosphere was interrupted by the crisp knocking on the door and a hesitant male voice.
“Major… Major General Jiang Ci?”
The original atmosphere was suddenly broken, and the tense air between the two men instantly eased.
Jiang Ci frowned slightly but didn’t open the door immediately, as if hesitating about something. On the other hand, when Huo Xianfeng heard someone calling outside, he tilted his head slightly and gestured to the metal door next to Jiang Ci.
“Aren’t you going to open it? If you wait too long, , it will be bad if you get misunderstood.”
“…Misunderstand?”
Snap!
Jiang Ci shook off Huo Xianfeng’s wrist and sneered,
“Well, isn’t that just perfect? It fulfills your wish, right?”
With that, he pressed the door button. The metal door opened horizontally, and by the time the alpha officer waiting outside saw Jiang Ci, the latter’s expression had returned to his usual cold and stern demeanor. Probably because of the sudden interruption just now, he frowned, showing a bit of impatience,
“What’s the matter?”
“Well……”
Before he could say anything, the sergeant waiting outside was sprayed in the face with fierce alpha pheromone. Although Huo Xianfeng intentionally restrained himself earlier, his previously released pheromones still clung tightly to Jiang Ci.
The officer who was lying down felt as if a roaring beast was rushing towards him, and a sense of threat surged over him. Reflexively, he quickly stepped backward, his back tightly pressing against the wall on the opposite side of the corridor. He covered his mouth and nose in terror.
“Then… that, the Legion Commander asks you to come over immediately,” he stammered out in just a dozen words. The more he spoke, the paler his face became. Particularly from this angle, the officer could clearly see the young man next to Jiang Ci lazily leaning against the wall. His tousled hair at the back of his head was slightly disheveled, and at this moment, he was lowering his head to meticulously adjust his crumpled collar. The movements were very relaxed and methodical, as if he were already accustomed to such actions.
Most notably, there were obvious finger marks on his collarbone and wrists.
Do you even need to more to know what happened just now? ! ! !
The officer’s eyes widened at this earth-shattering gossip he had unwittingly stumbled upon.
Sure enough, the young major general lived up to his reputation, displaying such dominance even in the face of the alpha who marked him, pressing him against the wall…
Jiang Ci furrowed his brow, suddenly realizing that the officer’s gaze was becoming increasingly strange, even shifting towards his side.
Wait a minute… his side?
?!!!
Jiang Ci immediately caught on and slammed the door.
Bang!
The muffled sound of the door closing and Jiang Ci’s voice came out at the same time,
“Got it, I’ll come after taking a shower,.
Shower…?
The sergeant who was still glued to the wall was stunned for a moment, and as if he heard something incredible, he quickly left the corridor.
The room returned to silence, and Jiang Ci stared deeply at the young man for a few seconds. He knew that the inability to repair the core of the Forbidden Abyss was a lingering regret that even his father held until his last moments.
“Huo Xianfeng, you better keep your word.”
“Of course, a gentleman keeps his promises.”
Heh a gentleman.
Before Jiang Ci could retort, Huo Xianfeng asked, “Where am I staying?”
“?”
Confused, the young man looked at him, “Aren’t you going to take a shower? I also want to freshen up. We can’t possibly share a bathroom, can we?”
“…”
Jiang Ci stiffened for a moment, then abruptly opened the door.
“You stay here!”
Turning around, he walked out with a sullen face, “I’m leaving!”
“Oh, okay…”
Huo Xianfeng smiled and closed the door, “Well then, bye~”
Jiang Ci: “…”
Ding.
The door closed.
Huo Xianfeng wasn’t polite. He turned and took an unopened set of plain training clothes from the wardrobe, then headed into the bathroom. After rolling in the desert and engaging in several fights, it was time for a good wash.
After the shower, he lay down and went to sleep. On the other side, Jiang Ci met several imperial doctors in Zhou Jiuya’s office.
“Weren’t you affected by some medication?” Zhou Jiuya, upon hearing about Jiang Ci’s visit to the Winter Day Planet, had brought these doctors along.
“Let’s run some tests and provide the necessary treatment.”
Jiang Ci nodded silently, without objections.
Meanwhile, as the First Legion began the intricate process of taking over the Winter Day Planet, Huo Xianfeng obediently stayed in his room for three days. Jiang Ci didn’t take Xiao X away either; the silver bracelet on his wrist enlarged slightly and snugly fit in place. It wasn’t that the Major General had forgotten; Huo Xianfeng had voluntarily chosen to stay, considering it as a gesture of offering his location as one of his assurances.
“Tell me, Xiao X, what is your young master up to?”
“Though I appreciate you fixing my voice system, the loyal Xiao X won’t disclose information about master, you know~”
“Hmm…” Huo Xianfeng chuckled. “Fair point. But I guess he’s probably in the medical room right now.”
Xiao X: “……..!!!”
What’s with this human?!!! How does he know everything?!!!
Of course, it was because when the officer came to see Jiang Ci a few days ago, he had the smell of medicine on him.
In addition, although that guy can temporarily tolerate being labeled as an omega in the eyes of the public, he will not allow himself to be labeled with a pregnancy label forever.
Huo Xianfeng absentmindedly toyed with the silver bracelet on his wrist, seemingly indifferent yet contemplative. Initially, his plan was to go to Winter Day Planet, create a false identity, gather information, and then decide on the next steps. However, even in a place specialized in trading intelligence like the Winter Day Planet, he couldn’t acquire much information.
At this point, Huo Xianfeng suddenly realized that to uncover the truth about himself, he must first understand what happened during the war that led to the extinction of the Zerg race three hundred years ago.
Among them, what roles do the current Emperor, the Church, the acclaimed father of human technology, Jiang Jingsheng, and many other unknown individuals play in it?
The answers to these questions were known to only a handful of people.
The first one was Huo Chao’s most trusted confidant who participated in the war that year.
The second was the Church who once controlled the entire Old Alliance.
The third was the Zerg race buried on Earth.
Clearly, he knows nothing about the Church at present and can’t venture there recklessly. Moreover, Earth was now under complete lockdown, and any disturbance might trigger the second war between humans and the Zerg race.
At that point, Huo Xianfeng will be completely pushed against the entire human race.
So, he temporarily chose the first option. After all, he had already met Ye Shu and Zhou Jiuya. Excluding the deceased Jiang Jingsheng, there was only one person left—
The legendary Emperor,
——Pei Changyun.
However, before that…
Knock, knock!
Huo Xianfeng opened the door, and there was a sergeant delivering a message outside, “The Legion Commander wants to see you.”
“….?” The young man raised an eyebrow slightly but went along.
However, when Huo Xianfeng arrived, he discovered that it wasn’t Zhou Jiuya who wanted to see him, but Ye Shu. He didn’t know what Ye Shu had said to Zhou Jiuya, but the Legion Commander was willing to let them meet alone and had turned off all monitoring.
Ye Shu seemed to be in good condition, at least he was very calm. His injuries had been carefully treated and cared for. At the moment, he was sitting on a comfortable leather sofa, quietly looking at the young man.
“What a coincidence,” Huo Xianfeng greeted Ye Shu. “I was actually thinking about how I could meet you again.”
Ye Shu didn’t have time for small talk and went straight to the point, “Huo Xianfeng, someone told me that you might be related to Huo Chao by blood.”
Huo Xianfeng: “….”
Rumors really spread like wildfire.
Before the young man could deny it, Ye Shu shook his head, “But I don’t believe it, because Huo Chao destroyed all of his DNA samples a long time ago.”
Therefore, this immediately ruled out possibilities like artificial insemination or genetic cloning.
Although Huo Xianfeng knew he wasn’t related to Huo Chao, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to ask, “Is there a chance that Huo Chao secretly had a child with some omega, and you didn’t know?”
“No, it’s even more impossible,” Ye Shu’s tone was decisive. “He said he doesn’t like omegas.”
Huo Xianfeng: “….Oh.”
It seems that this Marshal had some issues with his preferences. How could there be anyone in this world who doesn’t like beautiful and cute omegas?
So instead of omegas, huo chao’s taste leaned more towards Zergs-?? 😳
Noooo 😭😭😭
Next chapter we get a little backstory on it but I can spoil in the TL notes who is his ML 👀
Okay that’s good hdhdkdks since huo xianfeng has the ability to communicate with the zergs it just got me thinking that way 😂 another theory is that hua chao himself is an omega? Has it been disclosed what type he was before, maybe I forgot. Will patiently wait for the next chapter! ♥
Both possibilities are so interesting!!!!
Oooh, want to know, want to know!!
And thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
What if what if hou chao was the mother zerg or queen zerg!!?
Perhaps he liked valiant alphas..
So the topic of who Huo Xianfeng is will finally be discussed!
Ooh, I’m still intrigued by the mystery of Huo Huo’s origins.. 🤔
Thanks for the chapter 💞
well…
thanks for the chapter!
