Jiang Qian had just returned to Charles Star when the news of the appearance of insect-like creatures spread across the galaxy.
Without much time to recuperate in the villa, his body still carrying the scent left by 008’s demise, he felt exhausted and nauseous, but his mind was in extreme tension, completely unable to rest.
Outside the villa, an air of tranquility prevailed, with the blue sky and white clouds seemingly unaffected by the events. But these monsters, they were caused by him.
This matter absolutely could not be revealed, especially considering there was no one who knows about it now. Frowning, Jiang Qian called for a physician to tend to his wounds, the last scene of 008’s explosion still vividly etched in his mind.
SSS-level spiritual power was a legend throughout the interstellar world, its strength immeasurable because such an existence had never occurred before.
However, at the moment of that event, the spiritual power fluctuations had far surpassed what he could possess, and Jiang Qian felt that was indeed the legendary power.
A sense of unwillingness and imminent storm overwhelmed him.
“If he has been a waste for so many years, why not continue being a waste…” he bitterly thought.
Jiang Qian didn’t linger long in the villa; he was summoned back to the palace by King Charles.
“You’ve returned alone? What’s the deal with the rumored monsters?” Charles had been waiting for news from Jiang Qian but had already heard rumors of monsters appearing on the Burke border.
Jiang Qian had prepared a story in advance. After all, nobody knew the truth of what had happened.
“Your Majesty, your son failed in the mission. Unexpectedly, mutated monsters appeared on the battlefield. Our soldiers were completely wiped out under the dual attack of these creatures and the Burke Star, and I barely escaped alive. I believe these monsters might have been created by Chu Wenyu,” Jiang Qian spoke with a face full of resentment.
King Charles’s expression grew serious. He hadn’t expected Chu Wenyu to secretly develop such creatures; it was simply inhumane. At this thought, his anger mixed with worry for the safety of Jiang Ling.
However, there was no triumphant look on the face of the figure in the Burke Star Palace.
Jiang Ling carried Chu Wenyu into the bedroom. Chu Wenyu’s spiritual state was extremely unstable, speaking nonsense all the way. Even though Jiang Ling knew his flesh wounds were easily treatable and Chu Wenyu didn’t feel much due to the lack of sensation in his legs, seeing him bleed profusely made Jiang Ling extremely anxious. He didn’t even care if he was engulfed in a strong scent of blood.
The royal physician had long been waiting on the side. The entire palace was filled with a grave atmosphere. It was the first time they witnessed His Majesty wounded so severely. Logically, such a thing should never have happened. After all, as long as His Majesty had defensive thoughts, who could get close to him?
The physician tried to tend to the wounds on Chu Wenyu’s legs and hands, but His Majesty didn’t cooperate at all, simply clinging to Jiang Ling.
Not being a courtier who regularly served in the palace, the physician was unaware of the relationship between the two. It was his first time witnessing such a scene, leaving him somewhat startled.
The image of His Majesty in his memory… didn’t seem like this.
“Your Majesty, you…” The physician hesitated, unsure how to proceed. Seeing the state of the person in his arms, Jiang Ling didn’t care about avoiding suspicion anymore.
“Please, immediately assist His Majesty with the treatment,” Jiang Ling urged.
At this moment, Chu Wenyu’s head remained buried in Jiang Ling’s chest, appearing entirely dependent. In his eyes, perhaps no one else existed.
The physician, no longer feeling awkward, reluctantly started the treatment.
The entire process proceeded swiftly. Only after witnessing Chu Wenyu’s legs return to normal did Jiang Ling breathe a sigh of relief. He was also relieved that during this process, Chu Wenyu hadn’t uttered anything shocking in front of others, similar to what he had whispered in Jiang Ling’s ear earlier.
“Alright, you may leave,” Jiang Ling dismissed the others, leaving only the two of them in the bedroom.
Jiang Ling was still pondering Chu Wenyu’s words. Why would His Majesty use such a phrase as ‘marking’ on himself? Even if his mind was clouded, it didn’t justify saying something unrelated. There must be a reason behind it.
Speculating didn’t seem as useful as directly asking, even though the credibility of Chu Wenyu’s words might not be high at the moment.
Jiang Ling attempted to lay Chu Wenyu down on the bed but found him clinging tightly.
“Your Majesty, your spiritual state is disturbed. I need to check on you,” Jiang Ling explained kindly.
Yet, Chu Wenyu shook his head like a child and insisted, “It’s useless, you can’t cure it. I want to smell your pheromones; it feels comforting.” As he spoke, he came closer to him while breathing.
Jiang Ling had no choice but to use his spiritual power to assess Chu Wenyu’s current spiritual condition, which was still very unstable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached a state of losing consciousness.
“Your Majesty, please cooperate. Otherwise, you’ll start speaking nonsense again,” Jiang Ling sternly advised, his brows furrowed. He was concerned that prolonged spiritual turmoil might adversely affect Chu Wenyu.
Chu Wenyu was somewhat angry. In reality, he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all; he simply longed for the scent of alpha pheromones. Perhaps this recent outbreak had weakened the seal on his original attributes, slowly stirring up some feelings of estrus.
However, he was unaware; otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed himself to act so recklessly.
“I didn’t speak nonsense,” Chu Wenyu scowled, appearing quite unhappy.
“Your Majesty, you even mentioned wanting to be marked, and you say it’s not nonsense…” Jiang Ling was a bit speechless. At the moment, Chu Wenyu was indeed clingy, almost like an omega.
“It’s clearly because you don’t want to mark me, making me uncomfortable, yet you blame me for speaking nonsense…” Chu Wenyu widened his eyes, a hint of moisture in them, looking utterly aggrieved.
He couldn’t endure any harsh words, completely different from the iron-willed villain he usually portrayed.
If it could be excused as a slip of the tongue once, what about the current situation?
Jiang Ling was somewhat perplexed. Doubts from a few days ago resurfaced at this moment.
Chu Wenyu without pheromones and his spiritual disorder being incurable… Such occurrences were simply unimaginable…
Jiang Ling silently watched Chu Wenyu as he shifted, seeking a more comfortable position, his breathing indicating a hint of heaviness, clearly absorbing the scent of pheromones.
His fingers moved, finally trailing from Chu Wenyu’s shoulder to the vulnerable skin at the nape of his neck.
Staring at this patch of skin, Jiang Ling felt a bit out of sorts, even losing his usual composure. If this were indeed real, this would likely be the omega’s gland—a place that could be marked.
As Jiang Ling touched that spot, Chu Wenyu’s movements ceased. He stiffened, unsure, and waited for Jiang Ling’s next move.
Jiang Ling’s lips trembled slightly before he spoke slowly, “Your Majesty, if I were to bite here, would I smell your pheromones?” He massaged the area, his gaze somewhat unfocused.
“Y-yes,” the tingling sensation rushed to Chu Wenyu’s scalp. His heart raced, silently anticipating his first experience.
Logically speaking, Jiang Ling was sound, but he was also tempted to try. Although there was no scent of omega in the air, it was physiologically impossible to induce an alpha’s urge. Yet, at this moment, Jiang Ling felt as if he were experiencing those sensations—the irrational desire to bite into the gland.
He aimed to be gentle, even if there was nothing inside; he wanted to minimize Chu Wenyu’s pain.
As the warmth of lips touched his nape, Chu Wenyu’s mind ceased to function. A sense of danger mingled with anticipation surged within him. It was similar to knowing it would hurt, yet being able to reduce his insecurity perfectly.
Initially, it felt pleasant; the alpha’s gentle kisses relaxed Chu Wenyu’s tense body entirely. But simultaneously, he yearned for more.
Just as he had relaxed to the extreme, a sudden intense stabbing pain shot through his neck, causing his entire body to tremble. He frowned, wanting to escape.
Amidst the pain, a tingling sensation also emerged.
Jiang Ling licked the wound he had caused, tasting the sweet, bloody flavor. Soon, the scent of blood permeated the air. Just as Jiang Ling thought he might have exaggerated, another faint aroma diffused from the tooth marks, a subtle sweetness— the scent of pears, captivating his senses.
“Your Majesty, is this your pheromone?” Jiang Ling inhaled deeply, his voice low.
This pheromone was inconsistent with the image people had of Chu Wenyu. After all, how could such a brutal villain possess pheromones so sweet and inviting, appearing remarkably gentle? Only Jiang Ling could see every facet of Chu Wenyu. At this moment, Chu Wenyu’s appearance, with a slightly unbearable and soft whimpering, was strikingly tender.
Now, Jiang Ling could unmistakably recognize that the person in front of him is a complete omega. His pheromones felt liberating, instantly overflowing the entire room. Fortunately, the door was securely sealed; otherwise, Jiang Ling would have worried about the scent escaping.
A strong possessive desire arose in his heart. He didn’t want others to smell Chu Wenyu’s pheromones, a choice both physical and mental.
Chu Wenyu’s face was flushed, his pheromones continuing to spill out. His suppressed estrus, held back for so many years, emerged ferociously, almost beast-like.
So, in that fleeting moment of being marked, he briefly regained his sanity, yet before he could lament, he was engulfed in desire.
Chu Wenyu, wrapped his arms around Jiang Ling’s neck, tears welling in the corners of his eyes.
As a mere twenty-year-old alpha, he finally experienced the feeling of being seduced by an omega in heat and found himself unable to say anything about hating omegas henceforth.
Jiang Ling hadn’t had a chance to change into clean clothes; he was actually a bit dirty. However, although Chu Wenyu in heat did exhibit some traditional omega traits, such as a liking for crying, fundamentally, he remained the tyrant he was. Moreover, after being marked, his physiological attributes were no longer in disarray, leading to a weakening of his spiritual influences. Unrestrained, Chu Wenyu didn’t wait passively like a normal omega for his alpha to mark him; instead, he was remarkably assertive.
Chu Wenyu didn’t mind the dirt on Jiang Ling’s clothes at all; he eagerly rubbed against him as he took off his own clothes. The back of his neck that had just been bitten was extremely sensitive, craving another marking.
Jiang Ling’s breath quickened.
The whole room was filled with the intertwining scents of their pheromones, ambiguous yet lingering.
When Chu Wenyu regained consciousness, he instinctively touched his nape, feeling the distinct bite marks. Memories of everything that had occurred immediately flooded his mind. He realized he no longer had any secrets from alpha.
He never imagined that, in the end, he would expose himself, and most surprisingly, Jiang Ling actually believed him.
Nevertheless, it felt incredibly comforting, the sensation of being marked by someone he liked, similar to how a normal omega felt when marked. He cherished it.
As Chu Wenyu sensed signs of Jiang Ling waking up, his eyelashes fluttered, feeling somewhat nervous inside. Would Jiang Ling be upset if he continued hiding things?
Before Jiang Ling opened his eyes, his nose caught the scent of Chu Wenyu’s pear-like scent, as pleasant as the melting snow in spring.
“Your Majesty’s pheromones smell very good,” Jiang Ling commented before even opening his eyes.
“Oh?” Surprisingly, it wasn’t a question of accusation. Chu Wenyu was somewhat taken aback.
“Now that we know the reason, Your Majesty’s spiritual issues can be resolved,” Jiang Ling said thoughtfully.
“Aren’t you angry?” Chu Wenyu couldn’t help but ask.
“Am I angry? Of course, Your Majesty, such an intelligent person, how could you make such a stupid mistake in a critical moment?” Jiang Ling expressed a hint of lingering resentment.
However, what really bothered Jiang Ling was Jiang Qian.
Chu Wenyu bowed his head, falling silent. He had been too anxious at that moment, believing that Jiang Ling was truly inside the mecha. Yet, he hadn’t considered that Jiang Qian might have had such an agenda. If Jiang Ling had actually been inside that mech… Chu Wenyu didn’t dare to think about it. The realization darkened his expression.
However, he had plenty of time to reprimand Jiang Qian. For now, what mattered most was not allowing any resentment to linger within the alpha. Besides, Jiang Ling was right here, and Chu Wenyu didn’t want to waste another second thinking about anyone else.
“Before, you mentioned… you don’t like omegas…” Chu Wenyu was concerned that his nature might make Jiang Ling dislike him, especially with his faint omega scent, soft and sweet. Honestly, he doubted whether Jiang Ling would genuinely like him.
In case he didn’t like it… Chu Wenyu would find a way to change back…
Chu Wenyu hadn’t considered how harmful it could be to his health.
“It’s only because I thought Your Majesty was an alpha,” Jiang Ling explained.
Speaking of which, he had thought he didn’t like men at all.
Did this mean that Jiang Ling liked him for who he was? Chu Wenyu felt a tinge of happiness.
“Was yesterday Your Majesty’s first heat?” Jiang Ling pondered, hesitating.
Although it was generally confirmed, he truly didn’t expect an omega’s heat to be so intense. He could still feel the scratches left by Chu Wenyu on his back, causing a lingering pain that was utterly wild. Even at this moment, Chu Wenyu’s legs were still wrapped around his waist.
Sensing he might be teasing him, Chu Wenyu felt a mix of annoyance and a bit flustered, not knowing that an estrus period could be like this.
“Are you asking just to tease me?” he responded with a hint of irritation, though his ears turned red.
“If you don’t like me, you can take suppressants in the future…” Chu Wenyu felt a bit hurt and said in a huffy tone. He also felt that he was no longer a young omega, and having such strong desires at this age was rather embarrassing.
As he said this, he even wanted to pull his legs away, feeling extremely embarrassed.
But the alpha smiled and held him down.
“Your Majesty in heat is quite adorable, you weren’t this shy before,” usually, he was bold and fearless.
