Accidentally Marking The Vicious Female Lead After Transmigrating Into A Period Novel - Chapter 23

Li Yan felt as if she were trapped in a sea of fire.

Her skin was scorched by high temperatures and her body felt as if it held a volcano ready to erupt, her blood was molten lava. She was dazed by the heat, swallowed by massive tongues of flame.

“Sister, wake up! Don’t scare me!”

After a long while, she was finally jolted awake by a familiar, anxious voice. She weakly pried her eyelids open, her pupils struggling to focus, seeing only double shadows of the person before her.

Scalding tears from the other person fell onto her face. Sensing the owner’s panic, Li Yan found herself streaming with tears as well. She wanted to speak words of comfort, but her teeth seemed to have escaped the control of her brain, the moment she opened her mouth, they began to chatter violently.

The intended comfort turned into blurred, singular syllables, broken sounds that couldn’t form a sentence.

Already terrified, Li Can shook the person on the bed vigorously. Seeing her sister’s face covered in tears and hearing her whimpering as if in extreme pain, she lost her head completely. With a crying voice, she collapsed and shouted toward the door: “Mom, Grandma, come quickly! My sister… she’s not going to make it…”

Standing by the kang bed, Lin Yishu had been hesitating because the pheromones in the air hadn’t yet given a clear signal of whether the other was truly entering the “Heat” (rut/estrus) phase. In an instant, however, it was confirmed.

The fire element factors in the air surged at an explosive speed, rushing toward her with a momentum that sought to engulf everything. The temperature continued to climb.

Unlike the previous two times, Lin Yishu could feel that this fire-scented pheromone was undeniably dominant. It circled her, watching her neck and gland area like a predator waiting for an opportunity.

A thin layer of sweat immediately broke out on Lin Yishu’s forehead. Her own glands began to stir, sending wave after wave of itching through her. She dug her fingernails into her palms and climbed onto the kang on her knees.

“A-Can, move aside. Let me look at your sister.”

Hearing the voice, Li Can turned back with red, swollen eyes.

“Your sister will be fine. This isn’t a normal fever; it’s something else. Don’t worry, A-Can,” Lin Yishu comforted her, her voice gentle and patient.

Li Can didn’t understand the words, but seeing Lin Yishu’s certain demeanor, her heart actually steadied a little. She moved an inch to the side, making room.

Lin Yishu moved closer.

Li Yan was tossing and turning on the bed in distress. As the pheromones diffused, the internal heat was somewhat released, and her body temperature began to drop. Her mind cleared slightly, but it was followed by a massive sense of emptiness. Li Yan felt as if a large chunk of her heart had been hollowed out, desperately needing something to fill it.

But what?

She racked her brain but couldn’t understand, and so she grew agitated. She clutched her head with both hands and began hitting herself, her knees curling forward as she kicked the blankets frantically.

Suddenly, a hand gripped hers.

That hand was soft and cool, carrying a refreshing moisture. It was like the first rain of a summer afternoon, smoothing away all her irritability.

Li Yan looked up, her eyes wet as she gazed at the newcomer.

“Lin Yishu…”

She found it. It was Lin Yishu she needed.

Lin Yishu held the Alpha’s arms. She watched as the restless Alpha calmed down under her touch, looking at her with tear filled eyes. The Alpha’s eyes were clear and transparent, like washed amber, bluntly expressing her yearning.

“I feel so bad, Lin Yishu…”

Because she was suppressing the pain, her features were scrunched together. As she spoke, crystalline tears fell, rolling to the tip of her nose. The fire scented pheromones grew even richer, filling the entire room.

The temperature rose again.

Lin Yishu shuddered, trying her best to restrain her mind. She pulled the Alpha’s arms down and coaxed her softly, “Yanyan, be good. I know you’re hurting, but you can get through this. You can do it, right?”

Faced with rejection, the Alpha couldn’t seem to accept it. Her mouth puckered as if she were about to cry in grievance. “I can’t! It hurts so much! Yishu-jie, I really feel terrible, won’t you help me?”

The Alpha suddenly moved. She pulled her legs back, kneeling before the woman like a small dog, tilting her head up to beg piteously, “I want… I want Yishu-jie to help me…”

As if sensing the owner’s emotions, the fire pheromones retracted their aggressive stance, instantly turning into trembling little sparks that wandered pleasingly around the Omega. They tentatively climbed the Omega’s spine, dancing along the center.

Lin Yishu felt a jolt of electricity run down her back, sparking bursts of numbness. She almost let out a soft moan, but remembering a third person was present, she clenched her teeth at the last second.

Sensing her body’s reaction, the little sparks were encouraged and rushed straight for the back of her neck.

Lin Yishu whipped her head around and sharply ordered Li Can, who was frozen in place: “A-Can, go get a wet towel. Use cold water.”

She then freed one hand to reach for the back of her own neck. The fragrance of roses, which was about to pour out, was instantly blocked. Lin Yishu could no longer spare a hand to comfort the Alpha, using her other hand to prop herself up on the bed to prevent herself from collapsing.

Li Can still hadn’t reacted, staring blankly. She didn’t know what this scene represented, but deep down, she knew something was wrong.

Lin Yishu panted. Seeing her not moving, she urged again, “A-Can, go quickly!”

She had been careless. She hadn’t expected Li Yan’s “Heat” to be so powerful. Her presence didn’t just fail to control the Alpha, it threatened to enhance the Alpha’s destructive desires.

Li Can finally snapped out of it, stammered a response, and scrambled off the bed. “Oh, okay, okay, okay…”

With the third person gone, the Alpha became even more emboldened.

She pressed forward. Though still kneeling, she naturally carried an aura of dominance.

“Yishu-jie, help me, okay?”

A dangerous glint appeared in her eyes. Unlike the clear gaze from before, it was now filled with intense aggression, yet she still stared with a facade of innocence. Their positions felt reversed.

Lin Yishu was forced to look up at her. She struggled to release pheromones to soothe the Alpha while buying time. “Okay, I’ll help you, but you have to be good first. How do you want me to help? Why don’t you teach me?”

The mind of an Alpha in heat is immature. Lin Yishu’s family had prepared her for this regarding her marriage alliance, though she lacked practical experience, she knew the theory, you must coax them gently.

She didn’t know if it would work, but she had to try.

It seemed to have some effect. Receiving a response, the Alpha suddenly became happy, baring her canines. “Pheromones. I need Yishu-jie’s pheromones!”

Hearing this, Lin Yishu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the Alpha still didn’t understand the specific mechanics of what to do.

Lin Yishu took her hand off her own gland and gently pressed it against the Alpha’s cheek. “Yanyan, be good. Is this better?”

Her hand was wrapped in a rich rose scent, even the gaps between her fingers were stained with the fragrance. Li Yan was reflexively drawn to it, rubbing her cheek against the palm.

But it wasn’t enough. Nowhere near enough. She was like a fish dying of thirst, desperate for rain. The rose scent on those fingers was her exclusive nectar.

She suddenly turned her face, sniffing near the palm. Then, she extended her tongue and lightly licked those enticing fingertips.

When the moist sensation hit again, Lin Yishu’s entire body went rigid. Her mind felt like a firework had exploded. Logic wanted to pull the hand away, but emotion kept her there.

The Alpha’s soft tongue wandered continuously, sliding from the fingertips along the gaps between the fingers. Lin Yishu’s wrist began to tremble.

“Mm…”

She finally couldn’t hold it back, a soft moan escaped her lips, a broken tone, yet possessing a soul-stirring seduction.

Lin Yishu was startled by her own voice. Logic finally regained the upper hand, and she tried to withdraw her hand.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Hearing her voice, the Alpha seemed encouraged, her eyes suddenly blazing with light. Still kneeling, she gripped the Omega’s shoulder with one hand and clamped down on the Omega’s wrist with the other, making escape impossible.

“Li Yan, enough. Stop it.”

Seeing the Alpha about to take her entire fingertip into her mouth, Lin Yishu finally woke up completely. Shamed and annoyed, she began to push back against the person pinning her down.

Li Can would be back in a moment, and Aunt Chunmei and Grandma could return at any time. If they were seen like this, the consequences would be unthinkable. Lin Yishu was angry and anxious, but she couldn’t budge the person in front of her. The natural disparity in strength between an Omega and an Alpha was perfectly illustrated in this moment.

Footsteps seemed to come from outside the door.

Lin Yishu’s mind raced. Finally, out of options, her hand trembled as she pulled down the already loose clothing on the Alpha’s shoulder and bit down.

“Ugh!”

Perhaps due to the pain, the Alpha finally released her fingers, letting out a muffled groan.

Lin Yishu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly felt a chill at the back of her neck.

The pain on her shoulder caused Li Yan’s movements to freeze for a moment. She seemed confused, looking up blankly. The Omega in her arms had her head buried in Li Yan’s shoulder, her expression hidden.

Li Yan’s gaze fell upon the other’s dark hair, which was like silk. The rose scent on her fingers had been almost entirely absorbed. Li Yan’s heart pounded wildly; she wanted more.

As if by instinct, she reached out, her palm sliding through the hair, lifting the Omega’s seaweed like tresses.

And so, Li Yan saw a different world.

Beneath the dark hair was porcelain white skin, where blue veins were faintly visible and beneath those veins lay that small, delicate area.

She instinctively lowered her head.
