Transmigrated as a Scum Alpha: Now I Have a Wife via the Heartless Dao - Chapter 24

Hearing this, Yu Qianyan half-closed her eyes and blew onto Rong Shu’s neck, making her feel uncomfortably ticklish all over. Seeing that Rong Shu was about to get angry again, she stopped just in time and asked lazily, “Then what would you like to do, Miss Rong?”

“Let me see your hospital brochure first, then we’ll talk.”

Yu Qianyan winked at her with malicious intent, “Are you sure you want to see it?”

Rong Shu gave an “mm” in response. Yu Qianyan reached out, feigning to pull the brochure from beneath Rong Shu. Just as Rong Shu’s gaze locked onto the corner of the brochure peeking out, Yu Qianyan suddenly snatched it away, tucked it inside her clothes, and then shamelessly raised her eyebrows at Rong Shu, “Nope, not giving it to you.”

Rong Shu was both annoyed and amused, even feeling a sense of “as I expected.” Ignoring Yu Qianyan, she used her hands and feet to kick her away and sat up.

Yu Qianyan wasn’t bothered by being pushed; she sat cross-legged and bumped her shoulder against Rong Shu’s.

Rong Shu puffed up her cheeks, likely wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t open her mouth.

Because of this, it was actually Yu Qianyan who felt a bit embarrassed. She finally realized that her behavior was truly unreasonable. She mentally scolded herself, wondering why she was making a fuss and bothering people like a child, showing no aura of being the top disciple of the Lingyun Sect at all.

She straightened her posture, reined in her flippant and shameless expression, and returned to her usual proper and stern self, then awkwardly pulled the brochure from her clothes and handed it to Rong Shu.

Rong Shu took it and saw that it wasn’t a hospital brochure at all, but rather Yu Qianyan’s grade assessment report.

She knew this person was messing with her!

However, since the report was already in her hands, Rong Shu didn’t have the heart to argue with her further and focused on flipping through it.

Yu Qianyan had already seen her own report and found no errors, so she didn’t crowd in. The reason she hadn’t let Rong Shu see it earlier was, firstly, to play around, secondly, because her data had changed, and thirdly…

Just looking at how Rong Shu behaved after waking up, one could tell that the secondary differentiation had greatly boosted her confidence.

Becoming stronger was indeed the best antidote for worries, and even just mastering that power for the first time made Rong Shu feel much more open-minded. Don’t be fooled by the harshness when she was hitting people earlier, it was actually a release of the pent-up frustration in her heart, which was a very good thing. That was why Yu Qianyan played along with her; if she had just kept everything bottled up inside without a word, that would have been the real problem.

Yu Qianyan had taught Rong Shu swordplay initially just to make her stronger so she wouldn’t be bullied after going to military academy. Now, not only did it accidentally lead to a secondary differentiation, it also seemed helpful in resolving Rong Shu’s inner knots. It was truly an unexpected joy.

She pondered, should she continue with the sword practice?

Originally, Yu Qianyan had planned to pause Rong Shu’s sword lessons once they went to the military academy. After all, the courses were intensive, and since Rong Shu was just getting started with them, she likely wouldn’t have the time or energy.

Moreover, after they got married, customs dictated they go on a honeymoon. It could be as short as a month, or as long as two or three. If their family was relaxed and open-minded, it might even last half a year. Since they were on a honeymoon, who would drag their wife out early in the morning to nag her about sword practice? That time would be wasted again.

Not long after returning from the honeymoon, school would start. The military academy courses were quite difficult, and previewing would take time too.

Calculating it all, it seemed that besides the intensive training before the wedding, there wouldn’t be any other good opportunities. It could only be done intermittently, which wasn’t very useful, the improvement would be small, and it would take up a lot of time.

But if she stopped completely, Yu Qianyan felt it wouldn’t be right.

The foundation had been hard-won; if it were left alone for too long, picking it back up later would be no different from starting from scratch.

But if she didn’t stop… not only would the honeymoon need to be shortened, but after school started, it would be best for them to live together, or at least very close by.

Dorm arrangements shouldn’t be difficult; just telling Yu Qishan would be enough. The key was, she didn’t know what Rong Shu thought.

Would she be willing to share a room with her and shorten their honeymoon?

The Empire’s discipline of Omegas was subtle and all-encompassing. Before marriage, Omegas were relatively freer, but after marriage, they became like birds trapped by their families. Unless accompanied by their own Alpha, they could not easily go on long trips.

The people of the Empire revered martial arts and the military. Many noble Alphas on the Capital Star joined the military, heading to remote planetary garrisons to gild their resumes and fight for their futures. Compared to the Alphas who went into politics, their Omegas rarely got to travel far and often stayed at home, waiting for the unknown date of their Alpha’s return.

Yu Qianyan also intended to join the military, but she certainly wouldn’t confine Rong Shu to the home. As long as they brought enough guards and safety was guaranteed, she could go wherever she wanted. The only thing was, she worried Rong Shu wouldn’t believe her words.

After all, for most Omegas, a honeymoon might be the farthest, longest, and most romantic and free trip they would ever take in their lives.

The “swish, swish, swish” sound of pages flipping stopped at some unknown point. In the room, there remained only two shallow, gradually synchronizing breaths. Sitting side by side, both were silent, lost in their own thoughts. For a moment, the atmosphere actually seemed quiet and peaceful.

The silence was broken first by Rong Shu.

She closed the assessment report, let out a deep breath, and her gaze gradually turned firm. Turning her head, she made precise eye contact with Yu Qianyan, who had been looking at her quietly, and said softly, “I want to discuss something with you. Let’s postpone the honeymoon. The later, the better.”

This request perfectly aligned with Yu Qianyan’s own thoughts, but she hadn’t revealed a thing. Hearing Rong Shu take the initiative to bring up the same thing, with the exact same idea, she couldn’t hide her surprise.

Before she could speak, Rong Shu gave her a meaningful look, raised the assessment report in her hand, and said unhurriedly, “Yu Qianyan, daughter of Duke Yu, 3S-level mental power, double-S-level constitution, outstanding talent, boundless future. No one in the circle doesn’t know this. May I ask, Miss Yu, how is it that your assessment report now says both of your stats have become 3S-level? Could it be that you’ve also secretly undergone a secondary differentiation? But such a joyous occasion, even with your noble status, you still feel the need to hide it?”

When Yu Qianyan decided to show the report to Rong Shu, she knew she would be asked about this. Naturally, she had already prepared an excuse.

But before she could explain, the hospital room door was suddenly knocked, and a soft, crisp female voice, sounding like jade pendants clashing, came from outside: “Miss Yu, Miss Rong, are you in? Both of your pheromone matching reports and Miss Rong’s grade assessment report are ready.”

Rong Shu looked at the door, then back at Yu Qianyan, slightly tilting her chin towards the door to signal Yu Qianyan to open it.

Yu Qianyan immediately got up deftly to get the reports, answering loudly, “Coming!” However, a vague sense of doubt suddenly stirred in her heart.

Strange, when did she become so well-trained at being ordered around by Rong Shu, obeying commands so promptly…
