Chapter 025: “Huo Qi was very dissatisfied: I want to mark you permanently!” (04/07)
Just as Xie Chenyang and Huo Qi had been eyeing each other, their gazes became more and more enamored, and they were poised to begin exchanging kisses. Ah-Huang had to come out to interrupt. “Yan Chen’s apartment’s defense system has been breached; the door has been kicked in,” he announced.
Huo Qi stood up. “I’ll go take a look.”
Xie Chenyang followed him. “Together.”
Malikai and his group of bodyguards stormed through the door. Upon finding the empty and clearly unoccupied apartment, Malikai angrily barked, “Smash it for me!” He was furious!
That little Omega unexpectedly had the courage to injure him! The four bodyguards he had sent out had been useless, returning with no results! Yan Chen was just a commoner who didn’t know what was good for him! Malikai wouldn’t stop until he tortured him to death!
“What are you doing?” Huo Qi’s cold voice rang out.
The bodyguards all gathered around Malikai in a defensive circle. Malikai stared at Xie Chenyang, who was holding hands with a strange Alpha, a mixture of love and hate in his eyes. “Yan Chen, if you come to me obediently, there is still a chance that I will forgive you.”
Xie Chenyang: “Foolish.”
Malikai: “What did you say?”
Huo Qi then understood that the person in front of him was the one who had tried to take Xie Chenyang by force. He let go of Xie Chenyang’s hand and rolled up his sleeves.
Malikai’s pride was once again being trampled on, and he angrily blurted out, “Bring him to me!”
Two of the bodyguards went forward. Before they could come closer, they were kicked flying by both Huo Qi and Xie Chenyang. Malikai sneered and released his pheromones into the air, using it to suppress Xie Chenyang in a deluded attempt.
It was that bacon smell again. Xie Chenyang frowned in disgust. Although he wasn’t suppressed until his legs went weak like the other Omegas, the his own Omega pheromones still couldn’t help but seep out.
The sweet and refreshing smell of cucumber.
Several bodyguards, whose willpower was not enough, went completely red, and without waiting for Malikai’s command, they rushed over, the pheromones belonging to multiple Alphas collided radiating forth. Malikai was a step behind, but it was obvious that he was also affected.
Huo Qi’s face darkened. His personal pheromones were no longer fresh and gentle, but instead emitted a heavy spice in a somber tone.
Malikai, along with several of his bodyguards, seemed to become fixed in place, gaping at Huo Qi in horror and dripping with cold sweat.
Huo Qi moved extremely quickly, stepping forward to strike them one by one. While the others were just immobilized, they were merely knocked unconscious. Malikai was thrashed the worst, directly having his arms and legs broken.
Xie Chenyang quietly let Huo Qi play and licked his lips. [I’m getting aroused again.]
You Huang: “You were not over your estrus period in the first place.” Although there was a temporary mark and substantial development with Huo Qi, it was in the wrong place. There was no permanent mark. Now he was directly being influenced by a bunch of Alpha pheromones again. You Huang expressed a headache.
Xie Chenyang: [Don’t worry. I won’t be as thirsty once we return in a while to be affectionate with Ah-Qi.]
After Huo Qi defeated the bodyguards, he sent a command to his subordinates. “There’s a nobleman who broke into my wife’s house in an attempt to attack my wife. I suspect they have an ulterior motive.”
“Copy, we’re on our way!”
Huo Qi strode over to Xie Chenyang’s side. “Are you alright?” This was several Alphas’ pheromones!
Xie Chenyang dragged at his collar and kissed him, saying in a slurred voice, “Use your pheromones to cover them up; their pheromones are stinky.”
Huo Qi clasped his waist and kissed him deeply, releasing him several moments later. “You go back to my place and wait. I’ll be back soon.”
Xie Chenyang clung to Huo Qi’s waist. “Don’t want to. I want to stay with you.”
Huo Qi’s expression was helpless. “Alright.” That pampered look was more like an Omega…. Let’s do the permanent marking tonight!
Soon, a Flyer stopped over in their neighborhood. One after another, elites in military uniforms landed and moved in unison to go up the stairs.
“Deputy Commander!” The visitors looked at the several people unconscious on the ground and let out a sigh of relief. Huo Qi was injured, and they were really afraid that something might’ve happened to him.
Huo Qi didn’t let go of Xie Chenyang and led him back out. “Take them all back for a proper interrogation.”
“Yes, Deputy Commander!”
After they left, a few people took it upon themselves to carry the people lying on the ground. The captain stroked his chin. “These people are bold and green–how dare they target the Deputy Commander’s wife! The pheromones in this room haven’t cleared yet, and just now his wife was there. I’m afraid that he’s been disturbed.”
“Ahem, I can smell it–a cucumber scent.”
“Bullshit! He’s covered in the Deputy Commander’s woody scent. I can’t even smell it!”
“Smell, my ass! You’re a Beta.”
“Oh yeah, heh heh. Actually I can’t even smell Deputy Commander’s pheromones, so I’m just fucking around.”
“Don’t BB1off the top of my head… BB is close to bullshit, like ‘stop messing around, don’t bullshit me’… let me look it up again though cause its 5.30am and I’m not entirely sure: “Bie bb is a homophone of Bie Bi Bi, which means stop talking nonsense. It is a local dialect with a Beijing-style superiority tone, which means to tell you to stop talking nonsense. Most of the time, it means to disdain what you say, but the malicious content is not high. It is just a habit from childhood. Don’t say it to your elders.” — Baidu. Mrs. Deputy Commander has the Deputy Commander to worry about him; we’ll just take care of the few pieces of trash on the floor here.”
“There’s a good chance the Deputy Commander’s location has been exposed. Should we leave some people behind to guard him?”
The captain swept a glance over them. “Does the Deputy Commander need your protection? Without an order, no one is allowed to intrude… Bring the men with you, let’s go.”
”Yes, Captain!”
…… Xie Chenyang dragged Huo Qi into the bathroom. Warm water from the shower gushed down.
Huo Qi pressed him to the wall so that his back was to him and looked at the exposed gland in his neck, then gulped.
Xie Chenyang hung his head down. “Bite, ah.”
Huo Qi’s eyes deepened, and without hesitating any further, he dipped his head and bit down.
Being removed and placed outside on the living room table in the light brain, You Huang felt a particular wave in the data, allowing the refined sub-soul to fall silent as he personally manipulated the knife.
You Huang: …… It’s coming from the Sixth Legion’s database, ah. It should be directly transmitted to Huo Qi’s end, and because of data sharing, it got patched through to Xie Chenyang’s light brain.
— Sixth Legion. —
A young male with turquoise eyes scratched his head. “Ah, I’ve been detected.”
Theron: “Were you rebuffed?”
The teenage boy, Mo Wei: “No, but it caught me.”
You Huang: [What may I assist you with?]
Mo Wei tutted. “It speaks in a somewhat old-fashioned style; might have something to do with its maker.”
Mo Wei: [Just passing by.]
You Huang: [Oh, since you’re passing by, you should leave quickly.]
Theron: “Wow, it’s quite friendly. Should we just give it a try?”
Mo Wei blinked: [Your defenses are so good, oh, can we know who your maker is?]
Theron gaped in disbelief. “…… That’s too direct, isn’t it?”
You Huang: [You can’t find him.]
Mo Wei: [I’m just curious. I admire and even want to worship him.]
Theron: “Him? It’s a male, make a note of it.”
You Huang: [In this world, no one can find him.]
Mo Wei: “That powerful?”
You Huang: [He’s not in this world.]
Mo Wei: “Does that mean dead?”
Mo Wei: [What a pity, did he pass away?]
You Huang didn’t answer him again.
Mo Wei tentatively swayed around in Xie Chenyang’s light brain unhindered again.
Theron: “Well?”
Mo Wei rubbed his nose. “It’s ignoring me and no longer blocking me.”
Theron blinked. “Is that because you touched its sore spot? This intelligent system has an emotional program? It’s grieving for its master?”
Mo Wei: “I don’t know, ah……”

Xie Chenyang carried Huo Qi out of the bathroom, placed him on the bed, and covered him with the quilt. Huo Qi had his eyes closed, not sleeping, but not wanting to open them.
Xie Chenyang laid beside him and poked him in the cheek. “Ah-Qi?”
Huo Qi ignored him. Xie Chenyang pinched his cheek.
Huo Qi swatted his hand away; his voice was hoarse. “Stop it.”
Xie Chenyang: “It’s clearly you that’s upset with me.”
After this, he ignored him again. Huo Qi’s body was tense as he turned around and showed him his back. Xie Chenyang hugged him from behind, nuzzling against him and closing his eyes.
Huo Qi thought to himself, it was useless to act spoiled. Whose Omega presses down an Alpha like this?
It was really the first time I’ve seen it!
Huo Qi waited for a long time without being satisfied before turning around. Xie Chenyang’s hand slipped off. Huo Qi looked at his sleeping form and indifferently kicked him off the bed.
“???” Xie Chenyang rose from the floor with a confused look on his face. “Why did you kick me!”
Huo Qi: “Get lost and sleep on the sofa.”
“What for?”
“Get out!”
Xie Chenyang met his eyes for a few moments, and was about to obediently go out and wait for him to calm down before coming back.
You Huang: “Ahem, coax him a bit.”
[Why coax him?]
You Huang: “He is waiting for you to soothe him–you sleep, you m2Not actually sure, but I believe its along the line of the saying ‘No Zou, no die’ , but with the ‘M’ for ‘Machostic'(S/M)!”
Xie Chenyang, incredulous: [What did you just say? You said a dirty word, right? You cursed me, huh? Am I right?”]
“No, you heard wrong.” You Huang’s voice was calm. “You tossed someone so hard, not allowing him to do as he intended, and after that you have not coaxed him?”
You Huang: “You just fought him in the bathroom and he could not keep up!”
[I didn’t ignore him …… ]
Xie Chenyang reflected, jumped back on the bed, and reached out to hold Huo Qi: “I’m sorry, ah. Next time, I won’t fight with you.”
Huo Qi was furious and laughed “Honestly, are you the product of some laboratory experiment? Have you changed from an Alpha to an Omega? Or did you use some kind of disguise? You’re not an Omega at all, are you!”
“I am Omega, ah ……” At least, this body is, ah.
Huo Qi reached out and pushed Xie Chenyang away, but the other failed to budge, then viciously pinched him on the waist. “Who did you learn your physical skills from?”
“Hiss–” Xie Chenyang sucked in a gasp of cool air. “Self-taught.”
Huo Qi didn’t want to talk. “You get out.”
“Don’t be like this. I was wrong, okay? I won’t beat you next time.” As long as you don’t think about a permanent mark.
Huo Qi closed his eyes. Xie Chenyang saw that he was pacified, and joyfully hugged him and once again fell asleep.
Huo Qi didn’t kick him this time, but left the room, donned his light brain, and contacted Mo Wei: [How’s it going?]
Mo Wei: [In the beginning, I was discovered by it, but it should know that I’m one of your people, and didn’t block me later].
Huo Qi: [What information did you get?]
Mo Wei: [Its creator is male, probably dead.]
Huo Qi: [Is this information reliable?]
Mo Wei: [Not sure–it was revealed on its own accord, but I have a gut feeling it’s true.]
Huo Qi didn’t reply further, picking up Xie Chenyang’s light brain and staring at it with a complicated gaze.
You Huang: “……” Why are you cross with me? I didn’t take a villain script, really.
Huo Qi softly stroked Xie Chenyang’s light brain for a long time before sending a message to Mo Wei: [Investigate everything about Yan Chen and send his information to me. Except for me, there is no one who can have it.]
Mo Wei: [Received.]
You Huang: “……” Oh Huo3Ohhuo, a Sichuan dialect, expresses regret, lament, and sometimes even implies “gloating over other people’s misfortune.” It can generally be understood as: ① an exclamation (Oh my, this is so peaceful!) ② naked ridicule. — Baidu Krone: so i guess similar to english fillers we use? i.e., uh oh?. His host was unbridled. Never caring about all that OOC stuff. Simply won’t withstand investigation.
You Huang pondered for a moment. The host, a dual personality for a shot? His host was still sleeping, but it did not affect You Huang’s ability to spice things up and plant seeds while Mo Wei was digging into his data.
Huo Qi went back to his room and brought the light brain to Xie Chenyang.
Xie Chenyang felt his breath, reached out, and scooped him into his arms, saying in a daze, “Go to sleep. Be good, oh.”
Huo Qi: “……” Be good!? His cold and ascetic persona was going to be impossible to maintain. When he met Xie Chenyang, he felt that he was beginning to collapse.
