Going through what?
What heat cycle?
When the system’s mission notification sounded in her ears, Zhu Songning once thought she was hearing things.
She had just completed the main character’s mission for this small world and had even received the monetary reward from the system.
Where did this new series of missions suddenly spring from?
And, what was this “improper” mission about helping an Omega successfully get through a heat cycle? Where did such a task even come from!
How could she possibly do it!
Zhu Songning’s feet didn’t move; instead, she stood rooted to the spot.
Until that cold, mechanical voice sounded again:
【Limited-Time Mission One: Help the target character get through their heat cycle!】
【Warning: Failure to complete the mission in time will result in annihilation!】
Zhu Songning: …………?
The smile that had just appeared after receiving ten million yuan gradually vanished.
“System, you come out, let’s have a good talk.”
Although it knew Zhu Songning couldn’t cause it any substantive harm, the small ball of light still trembled and materialized from the earpiece.
【Host, hear me out…】
“Didn’t you say all my missions were already resolved? What’s the deal with this new target character?”
The flawless smile returned to Zhu Songning’s face, but in the system’s view, it carried a strange sense of threat.
The shock to her was akin to finally getting paid leave from the company only to be temporarily called back by the boss to work overtime—terrifying.
【The sys… the system doesn’t know either.】
The light ball flickered.
Logically speaking, there should only be one Daughter of Fortune, the protagonist, in a small world, maintaining the world’s operation.
The existence of various systems and hosts is to ensure that the Daughter of Fortune’s career and emotions follow the normal trajectory of the plot by completing a series of missions.
For instance, in the book Zhu Songning transmigrated into, Luo Conghuan was the Daughter of Fortune, and all missions revolved around her.
【Perhaps there are two Daughters of Fortune in this world?】
The system answered cautiously.
After working in the Transmigration Management Bureau for so many years, this was the first time it had encountered such a thing.
It was simply unbelievable.
Zhu Songning gnashed her teeth: “Then what do you suggest we do?”
The scent of jasmine in the space grew stronger, enveloping Zhu Songning’s body in threads, making her breath hot and heavy. Her fingers dug tightly into her palms, trying to curb her natural physiological instincts as an Alpha.
But all this struggling seemed pale and powerless against the pheromones of a top-tier Omega.
This level of Omega pheromones is unbearable for ordinary Alphas, yet for Zhu Songning, who is also a top-tier Alpha, it was the best natural aphrodisiac.
【Upon detection, the level of this Daughter of Fortune inside seems to be even higher than Lu Conghuan’s. The suggestion here is for the Host to complete the mission; the reward will be higher than before. If you don’t complete it, you will be…】
Annihilated.
The system didn’t need to finish the last part; Zhu Songning already knew.
She had heard that phrase countless times over the past three years.
“Do you think I agreed to do the missions back then because I genuinely wanted that ten million, or because I was afraid of being annihilated by you?”
In her original world, the appearance fee for just one of her magic shows was already six figures.
As for annihilation—Zhu Songning was an orphan with no parents, and death had never been the most frightening thing to her.
“You’d better think carefully before you speak to me, 001.”
“There’s a bathtub in the hotel room big enough for two people. I wouldn’t recommend putting you in there for a wash and an electric shock.”
The blue ball of light floating in the air shivered at her words.
It wasn’t sure about others, but having spent three years in close proximity with her, System 001 knew exactly what kind of lunatic this person was!
Zhu Songning was truly capable of carrying out her threats!
After about ten seconds of silence, 001 finally spoke:
【The error has been reported to the main system. As compensation, after completing this series of missions, the main system will tell you the whereabouts of the person you have been looking for.】
【How does that sound?】
Zhu Songning’s hand, gripping the earpiece, tightened then relaxed.
The sense of oppression towards the system instantly dissipated from the space, as if it had never existed.
“Of course, my dear 001.”
The sharp look in her eyes was quickly concealed, replaced by the magician’s usual playful and gentle expression.
“You know, I am always happy to serve you.”
Zhu Songning looked up at the room number, peering through the crack in the door, but could only see darkness, not a single source of light.
The entire room seemed to be swallowed by darkness. The sweet and bitter smell of jasmine compressed and humidified, and an unformed wave of scent and darkness surged over her.
The closer she got, the more Zhu Songning could feel her bones and blood boiling, turbulent and shaking, urgent and impatient.
She forcibly suppressed the physical abnormality, raised her hand, and politely tapped twice on the half-opened door with her curved fingers.
“Knock, knock.”
No response.
Could it be that the person had already lost control due to the heat cycle?
Just as she was about to knock again, the Omega inside finally spoke, their voice overly pleasant but their tone as cold as ice: “Get out!”
Zhu Songning paused her knocking motion.
Getting out was impossible.
She still had the time-limited mission issued by the system on her shoulders.
Withdrawing her hand, she spoke as gently as possible: “Hello, I’m the guest next door. I thought you might need some help right now.”
The words sounded noble and proper.
But she couldn’t just walk up and say, “Hello, I’m an Alpha, and I’m here to help you through your heat cycle.”
The person inside the door fell silent again.
A complete stillness.
Zhu Songning wondered if it was her imagination, but the Omega pheromone seemed to fluctuate more intensely the moment it heard her voice.
It was as if it had been provoked by something extraordinary.
Her footsteps hesitated at the door. As she debated whether to enter, the door of the suite was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
The next second, a pale, jade-like hand grabbed her wrist, abruptly pulling her into the room.
Before Zhu Songning could even react, her back slammed against the wall.
The body temperature of an Omega in heat was terrifyingly hot, almost enough to melt a person.
Sweat drenched the face, and long, black, straight hair clung to that beautiful countenance. Because of their current position, a few strands of hair tips snuck into Zhu Songning’s collar and adhered tightly to the skin over her heart.
It tickled a little.
She was pressed against the corner by the Omega and, knowing that the first step at a time like this was to gain the other person’s trust before proceeding with any conversation, she allowed herself to be held, leaning her body back, politely resting her head sideways against the wall, and raising her hands in surrender.
“I mean no harm, I genuinely want to help you.”
Zhu Songning’s twenty years of life had clearly seldom encountered such a predicament, and she suddenly felt a wave of helplessness.
She tried her best to regulate her breathing, which was confused by the other party’s pheromones, gritting her teeth to control the gland on the back of her neck that urgently wanted to release Alpha pheromones.
“If you need it, you can let go of me first, and I’ll call for emergency services.”
The mission issued by the system was for her to help the Omega in the room successfully get through the heat cycle, but it didn’t specify the method.
Marking them was one way, but sending them to the hospital was also another.
The blue earpiece seemed angered by her shameless interpretation of the mission, letting out a few beeps near her ear. A punitive electric current flowed over her whole body. Mixed with the stimulation of the pheromones, her consciousness began to become subtly blurred.
【Host, please stop trying to exploit mission loopholes.】
“Help me… call?”
The Omega’s face was obscured by the darkness of the room. Only her pair of eyes—moist and rosy—and her lips could be clearly seen by Zhu Songning.
Her gaze fell on Zhu Songning’s raised hands, clad in white gloves, her expression obscure.
“Yes.”
Zhu Songning ignored the system’s warning, enduring the electric current. Her brow furrowed slightly from the pain, and a muffled groan escaped her throat.
Her mission was important, but she had not fallen to the point of needing to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state to complete it.
This wasn’t compassion or a moment of softness.
She had always adhered to the selfish principle of “no profit, no early rise.”
It was simply because, given the system’s predictable nature, the subsequent series of missions would likely revolve around this person. From a long-term perspective, there was no need to severely offend them during the very first mission.
“Don’t… Mmm… call…”
The Omega’s panting mingled with soft moans, and their speech became fragmented.
Their hands let go of the restraint on Zhu Songning. A pair of moist, shimmering obsidian eyes looked up at her, carrying an almost instinctive dependence.
“Want… you…”
Zhu Songning’s attention had already been partially diverted by the system, and her reaction was momentarily slow.
“What did you say? Ngh—”
Before she could finish her sentence, her words were swallowed.
A pair of soft lips pressed heavily against hers.
It was a sudden kiss.
Zhu Songning was nearly breathless from the kiss. The Omega’s pheromones swiftly and utterly enveloped her, dominating her without leaving the slightest gap.
Her vision was still hazy, but she could vaguely make out the pair of eyes moist with amorous desire, their outer corners flushed.
Her breath hitched.
Even without seeing the face clearly, one could tell from those strikingly beautiful eyes alone that she was a rare beauty.
With thin eyelids, the eye shape should have looked cold and detached—the kind of eyes many cold-hearted characters in literature possess—yet the outer corners slightly lifted, turning them into a pair of deeply passionate eyes.
Now, those eyes were wet and glistening. Just a simple eye contact made one feel as if they were to drown with her, falling into the spring tide.
“You…”
Zhu Songning struggled for a long time, yet not daring to use force on the vulnerable Omega, she could only let the person press her against the wall, hook their arms around her neck, and rub their noses together.
The room’s heating was on, and the other party’s clothing was thin. With a few rubs, Zhu Songning was forced to tilt her head back. The Omega then bit her neck—not heavily, but enough to feel a tingle—which, combined with the uncomfortable heat in her abdomen, continuously tormented her cognition and sanity.
“You won’t regret this?”
In Zhu Songning’s peripheral vision, she caught the Omega’s very slight nod.
Their body was already light and weak from the torment of lust, but the nod was definite and unwavering.
S-Class Alpha pheromones were instantly released, and together with the S-Class Omega pheromones, they surged out through the door crack, covering the entire 45th floor.
