Su Liang may never know that a midnight stroll made this worldline completely different from the world he had experienced in the past. Lu Taipan, who should have lost control of his mental power and attain serious physical damage, successfully negotiated with Lu Zhengen in this world, hiding a knife with a smile.
He also wouldn’t know that the “something” that disappeared secretly in Xingchuan University had triggered another undercurrent between the Canaan government and the earth Alliance, but this time, the Earth Alliance had the upper hand.
At this time, the young beta was full of thoughts and only wanted to quickly find a way to completely cut off his relationship with those two troublesome people.
Then, a few days later an agreement from the senior management of the Lu family appeared in front of him.
Of course, they said it was an agreement, but it was more accurate to say that it was an order that he couldn’t refuse: as a beta with a very low pheromone overflow value, Su Liang was selected by the Lu family to go to the other courtyard. That is, the secret area where Lu Taipan, the head of the Lu family, will recuperate his body, and he will perform a half-year service within the family.
“A period of service within the family…. I accept.”
Su Liang looked at the documents in front of him, and nodded after thinking for a while.
“We sincerely hope that you will seriously consider your choice this time. Considering that you were involved in Lu Zhizhao’s mental berserk accident, this could be regarded as atonemen- you accept?!”
The middle-aged man in an old-fashioned robe, who was brewing all kinds of coercive and enticing remarks, suddenly heard Su Liang’s incomparably crisp response and almost bit his tongue.
He looked at Su Liang in surprise, taking him a long time to adjust the expression on his face.
“It’s, it’s very good that you can repay the Lu family.”
He spoke dryly.
But there was a trace of mockery and sympathy in the eyes that looked at Su Liang.
Even if they don’t know anything about Lu Taipan’s current situation, ordinary Lu family members should feel hesitation and resistance when they receive this order to serve the family. The secrecy level of the other courtyard where Lu Taipan lives is extremely high, comparable to some military facilities in the Earth Alliance. Going to the “Snake den” for service means that he must be isolated from his family and friends for half a year. Considering the strict rules and regulations and lifeless atmosphere in the “Snake den”, going to work in the “Snake den” was basically equivalent to going to jail.
Most importantly, as a student of Xingchuan University, Su Liang’s studies would also be interrupted.
Of course, according to the self-proclaimed ‘manager’ of the Lu family, they would inform Xingchuan University and register the six-month service period as an internship within the group. But even this can’t change the fact that Su Liang will leave the campus for half a year.
Those side branch members, ignorant of the truth and completely excluded from the inner workings of the main Lu family would so simply agree to serve in the ‘Snake den’.
The manager apparently thought so.
Naturally, Su Liang never missed the manager’s weird look. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the agreement in front of him, without showing any other emotion.
Of course, Su Liang knew that going to the ‘Snake de’ wasn’t a good thing at all, not only because of the surface problems, but also because of his base understanding – for example, he knew very well that the master of the ‘Snake den’, Lu Taipan, was in a very bad state. There was a high possibility that his spiritual sea will collapse completely, and he would become a complete waste. And once a double S-level alpha like Lu Taipan completely collapses, it will cause an extremely terrifying mental riot. At that time, all those shrouded in his mental power range will probably be affected and injured heavily.
Moreover, Lu Taipan has a serious pheromone disorder. Even the slightest amount of pheromone overflow may cause him to violently injure people, and in serious cases, may even lead to death.
However…..
Su Liang was even more aware of another thing. It was impossible for the Lu family to let him go.
In his past life, he was completely blinded by love, so he couldn’t see the undercurrent of the Lu family’s current high-tension state.
The marriage between the Lu family and the Ning family was a necessary move for Lu Zhizhao’s father, the current acting head of the Lu family, Lu Zhengen. After all, only by relying on the Ning family’s support, can Lu Zhengen become the head of the Lu family after Lu Taipan’s death.
Under such circumstances, a young beta who managed to ensnare Lu Zhizhao was simply the worst existence.
Su liang even suspected that if he had not eloped with Lu Zhizhao in his previous life and had stayed in the Lu family, he would have most likely died due to some ‘accident’.
In contrast, the seemingly perilous and closed off ‘snake den’ was a good place to go.
Even though Lu Zhizhao had spoken of Lu Taipan’s terrifying deeds before, it was still difficult for Su Liang to feel really bad about the rumoured man.

And a man who can make the cold-hearted, but very kind big brother in his memory, support his cause with his life, can’t possibly be a bad person no matter what.
At the very least, Lu Taipan wouldn’t go out of his way to trouble an unknown, weak, and ordinary beta.
Compared to Lu Taipan, Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi brought Su Liang more troubles.
Su Liang felt relieved when he thought that after going to the ‘snake den’, he would be able to ignore the accursed affairs between Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi for half a year, signing his name on the agreement.
The only trouble was to persuade Su Nuan to accept his decision.
Fortunately, Su Nuan and his brother-in-law were only members of the side Lu family branch, so naturally they were unaware of Lu Taipan’s current situation.
Su Nuan was purely worried about Su Liang’s studies, and was even more reluctant to let him leave her side.
Regarding the first point, Su Liang had already told the professor that he would focus on sorting out the various knowledge and details needed to be a basic teacher for the 48th district during those six months. After all, what he needed to learn was completely different from those students who were slated to enter large corporations post-graduation.
As for the latter point, it was even simpler….
“The half year without me should be enough for Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi to develop a real relationship. When the two of them get together, they won’t think about bothering me anymore.”
Su Liang analyzed it with his sister sincerely.
Su Nuan replied. “What you said is not wrong.”
After spending a little bit of effort to appease Su Nuan, Su Liang quickly agreed with the senior Lu family manager to go to the Lu family’s other courtyard, the ‘snake den’.
The speed, and the expecting attitude caught even the manager who secretly received a lot of bribery off guard, and his attitude towards Su Liang became extraordinarily strange.
A few days later-
“Actually, the service period is for half a year, so you don’t have to be so hasty.”
The manager told Su Liang, who was carrying his luggage and preparing to get on the bus.
Su Liang smiled sweetly at him, but didn’t say anything.
Of course, in Su Liang’s heart, he just barely shouted out–
[ How could it not be fast!]
Su Liang had already asked around, Lu Zhizhao’s confinement time was about to expire!
Praying to the god above, Su Liang didn’t want to meet Lu Zhizhao again before he went to the Lu family courtyard.
He could imagine that, given Lu Zhizhao’s resistance to Lu Taipan, he would do everything possible to prevent himself from going to the other courtyard in the name of protection.
In his previous life, Su Liang knew that although Lu Zhizhao was the designated future heir of the Lu family in name, the relationship between him and his uncle could not be said to be close. After all, Lu Zhizhao’s father, Lu Zhengen, had always had a delicate relationship with Lu Taipan.
Of course, Su Liang wasn’t interested in this kind of secretive and bloody power struggle between the elite’s heirs. He just didn’t want to get involved in the same stupid way as his previous life, and then die an embarrassing death.
Thinking of Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi, Su Liang involuntarily participated in their cold war.
He couldn’t wait to leave quickly.
It could be said, that Su Liang’s plan was perfect, with a very complete understanding of Lu Zhizhao.
However, no matter how much Su Liang expected, he didn’t expect to get stopped halfway.
“Crunch–”
The hover car Su Liang was riding in made a harsh braking sound, and then stopped suddenly.
After the emergency braking, the driver looked straight ahead with a pale face.
“Where did this guy come from, isn’t this dangerous? How dare you stop the car like this–”
The driver of the Lu family was about to scold him, but quickly shut his own mouth after seeing the face of the extremely reckless and lethal culprit.
“Young master Lu?!”
The figure who jumped out of the other car was very familiar, and was someone Su Liang had been avoiding.
“Xiao Liang! Come down!”
Lu Zhizhao’s slightly green face appeared outside the car.
He looked a lot more haggard than the last time they met. His entire person seemed thin and out of shape, making people worry a bit about whether he had suffered any mental trauma.
He slapped the car window hard, his hoarse growl sounding clear in the car from outside the window.
Su Liang hesitantly looked at Lu Zhizhao, who had become somewhat unfamiliar, through the car window. When he was still hesitating, the other party had already taken a step ahead and ripped the door open. The hover car’s door, which should have been extremely sturdy, was as fragile as paper in the face of the S-class alpha’s brute force.
“Lu Zhizhao?”
Su Liang only had time to call out Lu Zhizhao’s name, and in the next second, Lu Zhizhao reached out his hand to grab his wrist, and dragged the thin beta down from the hover car.
“Young master Lu, what are you doing?”
Maybe the driver also noticed something off about Lu Zhizhao. He mustered up the courage to come forward and dissuade him, but Lu Zhizhao didn’t even turn his head. The alpha’s pressure spread out in an instant, making the driver’s face turn blue, and in an instant he covered his head and curled up in pain, no longer having the energy to step forward.
“Lu Zhizhao, you’re even attacking ordinary people! What’s wrong with you?!”
Seeing the scene in front of him, the cold hairs on Su Liang’s back stood on end.
Perhaps Lu Zhizhao was indeed a troublemaker for him, but over the years, Su Liang had to admit that the Lu zhizhao he knew was always reliable, calm, and trustworthy.
The man in front of him, with bloodshot eyes and gloomy face, was too different from the Lu Zhizhao he knew.
“Lu Zhizhao, shouldn’t you be in confinement?”
Lu Zhizhao gripped Su Liang’s wrist. He seemed to have used all his strength. Su Liang’s wrist was in severe pain, and he almost cried out in pain.
But he held back.
Based on some kind of inexplicable self-consciousness, Su Liang instinctively did not dare to take extreme actions. He did not dare to stimulate Lu Zhizhao, so he could only calm himself and pretend to ask calmly.
“How could you be here?”
“I escaped.”
Lu Zhizhao stared directly at Su Liang, and then spoke.
“Someone told me, that you were sent to my uncle’s courtyard.” He then added, “So I came to find you.”
When he finished speaking, Lu Zhizhao turned around and pulled Su Liang’s hand to leave.
“You’re not suitable to go to that kind of place. It’s too dangerous. Xiao Liang, don’t be afraid. I’ll tell my father to withdraw the order.”
“It’s not that bad, I actually volunteered…. Lu Zhizhao, hold on, are you alright?”
Even if Su Liang didn’t want to irritate Lu Zhizhao any more, he couldn’t help but raise his voice when he was almost dragged away by Lu Zhizhao.
He had noticed that Lu Zhizhao had many wounds on his body. His hands and neck were dripping with blood; it was as if Lu Zhizhao had forcibly torn off some restraining device and escaped.
“Lu Zhizhao, are you injured?”
Hearing Su Liang’s questions, Lu Zhizhao’s movements suddenly paused. He turned around abruptly, and looked at Su Liang with that terrifying, dazed gaze.
After a moment, he showed a slightly twisted smile.
“I’m fine.” Lu Zhizhao said in a hoarse voice. “However, I’ve been having nightmares these past few days, so I didn’t sleep well.”
“Xiao Liang, seeing that you’re find, I’m naturally fine as well.”
He murmured.
He hadn’t realised that he had scared Su Liang.
The author has something to say:
Lu Zhizhao : I remember a little, but not completely.
Today is also another day to try and steal off the (male) aunt!
tln: so some of you might have noticed that the previous chapter update was a bit late…. well you see, a series of truly unfortunate events (mostly brought on by myself) happened to me >.> totally didn’t get baited to read 300+ chapter novels back to back to the point of neglecting my project <.< i speedran this chapter just to catch up to schedule ww, kinda hoping to finish at least 20 chapters before september _(:3/
Thank U for the chapter!
Haha! LZZ you idiot! You are slowly pushing SL to become ur aunt !
Future:
LTP: This is your aunt presents SL
LZZ: shoked pikachu face
Lmaoooo excitedly waiting for this exact scenario
Thank you for the chapter!
Ohhh he’s starting to remember 👀👀👀👀 I want that tbh. Pls suffer for getting MC killed <3
Aww thanks translator samaa for the chapter. 💖
I can feel the addiction when u get to read an interesting story. 😆
Loved the chapter. I just wait for an interaction between the two Leads and I hope SL becomes an omega soon. I don’t know if it really happens but I could think it will be like other storys were they need theire true mate/alpha to awake the pheromons.
Yeah on saturday a was online waiting for the chapter but no blame I would do the same and speedrun a story with 300+ chapters. I did the same on the weekend wirth Escape the infinite chambers😂
this is so great, thank you for the chapter !
And Su Liang… God, this boy is so cute. The kind older brother couldn’t possibly serve and admire a horrible tyrant? Yes and no. Su Liang has no idea what other members of Viper are like, and he met Lu Taipan, who is portrayed as monster but should’ve originally had a soft, sensitive heart. I’m really interested in Su Liang and Lu Taipan’s first official meeting… They should get along well.
And about how Su Liang’s little visit changed many things: Chaos theory, the butterfly effect. A really fascinating topic that goes to show that even little actions can bring great changes. In this case, Su Liang’s pheromones calmed Lu Taipan, allowing him to keep a cool head and his brain online, as humans lose the ability to think properly when under too much stress, either through fear, pain or too much outside stimulation.
And Orion… Reading stuff is okay, a delayed schedule is also okay, as long as the chapters still come out. Especially since translating is a job that uses a lot of brain power.
Thank you for the chapter! 🙂
Oho, action is in full speed now!
Thank You for the new chapter ( ˘ ³˘)♥ DOn’t worry about anything! Take care and best wishes! ❤ (Read more amazing novels as well~)
Thank you for the chapter.
i’m not sure what circunstances made LZZ leave MC to die in previous life, but i’m eager for the gong abuse anyway.
Thank you for the update, this my current favourite novel ❤️
I can’t wait for more 😆
Ahh I need moreee XD
Yo him remembering be ruining my ship 😭 stop!! he’s your aunt, AUNT!
Lol, it’s okay. That happens to me all the time, Orion 😅 I was worried that something happened tbh. I was on a road trip, so I didn’t check Saturday. I refreshed like 5x before I realized it wasn’t my internet 🤣
Дякую
Please, Lu Zhizhao, go away. I want my sweet Su Liang and the kind (?) older brother from his memory to meet again already T-T
This trash reallyneeds to roll away immediately. Taipan come take your wife already
Crazy guy. So he maybe remembers pieces of his past life and that’s what’s driving him insane? Poor cat got stopped from going to meet his owner. 😔
Temptation of novels is timeless!!!
Also ex-bf, pls turn away and leave through the nearest exist, all you’re doing is harming MC! You’d have thought he’d be more mature after remembering some things but… :3_/
Snake hubby is waiting. I think it’s wonderful Taipan could protect Su Liang so well, despite meeting him only once, to the point he was always safe in the yard..but ex-boyfriend could do none of that. In fact he was only the reason for MCs fall even if unintentional.
Ty for the chapter.
Thank you for the chapter!!! I am so so ready for this dog blood!
Im already obsessed and the ML hasnt even properly faced the MC yet ((in this life))
Obrigada pelo capítulo ♥️
Feeling disgust towards LZZ ,i believe in my instincts
Thank you for the chapter 😊
I feel bad for LZZ cuz it looks like he genuinely loved SL :< But mayhaps he was too naive in their past life
It’s more interesting when there are multiple people with memories of the future past.
Why cant you stay in the arms of your oh so pure btch omega and steal the ML’s moment with Su?
After reading this for the third time I don’t hate lu zhizhoa that much anymore cs just like susu he got deceived. He is just a cannon fodder who actually thought he was doing the right thing but it ended up being deadly for both of them
..I think those dreams he’s having is of the previous life…..?…
