Transmigrated as a Scum Alpha: Now I Have a Wife via the Heartless Dao - Chapter 9

The familiar, sweet, and alluring fragrance wafted out, and Yu Qianyan immediately realized a major problem.

She didn’t know why Rong Shu was suddenly in heat, and she didn’t have the time to investigate. All she knew was that Rong Shu was in a very bad state, she was completely unconscious, and her entire body was terrifyingly hot.

Yu Qianyan immediately ushered the few Omegas in the backstage dressing room out, to ensure they wouldn’t be affected by the pheromones.

She turned on the room’s ventilation system, ordered the only Beta present to rush out and get inhibitors, and even contacted the emergency center, just in case.

It seemed that this minor accident wouldn’t cause any lasting issues and could be resolved properly, but Yu Qianyan simply couldn’t set her mind at ease.

If nothing else, the time it took for inhibitors to take effect was ridiculously long, and they would leave the Omega feeling incredibly uncomfortable. Aside from restoring their sanity, the pain of stopping a heat cycle was no less agonizing than simply enduring it.

And why was she unconscious?

When the original host had triggered Rong Shu’s heat, Rong Shu had never passed out. At most, she would be weak and drained. Later on, there were even times when she could endure the intense craving and curse her out fiercely.

Could it be that Rong Shu was sick?

Or was it that she had sprayed too much calmant, and Rong Shu was having an allergic reaction?

Yu Qianyan was so anxious she didn’t know what to do. She wanted to shake her awake, but she didn’t dare to act rashly. She could only keep wiping the sweat from Rong Shu’s body, but the more she wiped, the more she sweated, and Rong Shu’s face became flushed, like a red rose in full bloom.

Not only that, even with the room’s ventilation turned to the maximum, Yu Qianyan could still smell Rong Shu’s pheromones. As time passed, she herself began to feel a wave of heat.

Realizing that her own condition was changing, Yu Qianyan immediately wanted to move further away from Rong Shu, but she couldn’t bring herself to leave. She could only recite the mantra of mindfulness over and over again in vain, trying her best to ignore the throbbing pain in the back of her neck and the itching at the roots of her teeth.

At this moment, there were only the two of them in the room, and with Rong Shu unconscious, everything depended on Yu Qianyan’s self-control.

Suddenly, the eyeballs beneath Rong Shu’s lids began to roll rapidly. Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and she murmured something indistinctly, as if she were about to wake up.

Yu Qianyan leaned in to listen, but was suddenly grabbed by the hand. Before she could feel happy, she was met with Rong Shu’s scarlet eyes, filled with an entanglement of hatred and desire.

“You…” Yu Qianyan froze, surprisingly feeling at a loss in the face of such a gaze.

Clearly, the instincts honed through several life-and-death situations were screaming about the other party’s vicious killing intent, but she forcefully suppressed the urge to strike first. She distracted herself by asking with concern, “Are you having a nightmare?”

Rong Shu stared at her blankly. The scarlet in her eyes faded slightly, then her gaze slowly wandered, as if she were appraising the room’s decor, before she tightly closed her eyes again.

When she opened them again, the hatred in Rong Shu’s eyes had vanished, leaving only the haze caused by the heat of her cycle, “Yes, I had a nightmare.”

“Has the engagement ceremony started?”

“Not yet,” Yu Qianyan reached out and wiped away the fresh sweat on Rong Shu’s forehead. Seeing Rong Shu subconsciously nuzzle against her palm, she paused for a moment before pressing her hand against her face. She comforted her, “Don’t worry, there’s still a while to go. You haven’t been unconscious for long. The inhibitors will be here soon.”

“Inhibitors…” Rong Shu frowned. Her expression suddenly turned complex as she looked at the Alpha before her, who seemed completely unaffected by her pheromones, and asked in disbelief, “Are you okay?”

Yu Qianyan replied calmly, “It’s fine, I can hold on.”

Holding on was indeed holding on, but it was a bit hard to endure.

Compared to her own physical reaction, Yu Qianyan was more concerned about the reason for Rong Shu’s sudden collapse, so she asked immediately.

However, Rong Shu’s expression after hearing the question was very strange. She was evasive, only saying that perhaps she hadn’t been resting well lately.

Yu Qianyan was naturally uneasy. She wanted Rong Shu to go get a full physical examination first, or if that wasn’t possible, postpone the engagement ceremony. After all, in Rong Shu’s current state, even if she used inhibitors, she would be very weak and it would be difficult to support her through the entire banquet.

Rong Shu listened, her eyes shifting uncertainly, seemingly very hesitant.

Once her willpower slackened, her body couldn’t help but coil around Yu Qianyan again.

The latter sat rigidly, her lips moving as if to say something, but she quickly closed them tightly.

Yu Qianyan steeled her heart and continued to recite the mantra, turning herself into a Buddhist practitioner looking only at her own nose, until Rong Shu pulled her thoughts back and shot her several shocked looks.

It was precisely this display from Yu Qianyan that finally made Rong Shu come to a decision.

“Mark me…”

Yu Qianyan was still reciting her mantra and didn’t react in time.

When she realized what Rong Shu had said, Yu Qianyan was stunned. Her mouth opened and closed, and it took a lot of effort for her to ask with a trembling voice, “Are you sure?”

She couldn’t do this!

Rong Shu closed her eyes in exhaustion, as if refusing to accept reality, and whispered an explanation, “Just a temporary marking. Once it’s marked, I’ll be able to fully recover quickly. I won’t need to use inhibitors, and it won’t affect the engagement.”

This was said lightly, but in reality, a temporary marking was a severe test of an Alpha’s self-control. A slight loss of restraint could easily lead to an escalation.

Moreover, the biggest difference between a temporary marking and a permanent one was that after a permanent marking, an Omega’s pheromones would permanently mix with the marker’s pheromones, blended in so faintly that only an Alpha could detect that this was not a single Omega.

But being temporarily marked would only briefly affect the scent of the Omega’s pheromones, while causing the Omega to exude the marker’s pheromones from head to toe until the temporary mark was completely metabolized.

A temporary marking was, of course, just a bite on the gland, but that didn’t mean the person marking would stop after one bite.

At the engagement party, with everyone watching, Yu Qianyan couldn’t imagine how much controversy would be stirred up if Rong Shu walked around wearing her scent the whole time.

Yu Qianyan wanted to persuade her further, but Rong Shu had already resolutely turned over, lifted her hair, and exposed the fragile nape of her neck.

“Hurry.”

To make it easier for her, Rong Shu even loosened her clothing, revealing a small patch of delicate, fair skin on her back, so white it dazzled Yu Qianyan’s eyes.

Yu Qianyan had no choice but to respect Rong Shu’s wishes, following her instincts as she inched slowly toward the source of the intoxicating scent.

As soon as she pressed against her, the sharp teeth in her mouth sprouted automatically. Yu Qianyan endured and endured, barely stopping herself from biting down hard. Her hands went weak, yet her body was rigid in other places, and sweat slid down her temples. She bit into the gland as gently as possible, injecting her own pheromones.

In an instant, the smell of blood mixed with the extremely rich, sweet, and alluring fragrance filled her mouth, as if she were biting not Rong Shu’s gland, but the thousand-year honey nectar from the Jade Pool of the Immortal Realm, the embodiment of all temptation and beauty. With just one touch, her mental defenses crumbled under such sweetness.

As the marking was completed, Rong Shu’s strength gradually recovered, yet Yu Qianyan remained as if petrified, biting down and refusing to let go.

Rong Shu endured and endured, and finally, unable to take it any longer, she pushed her away quite coldly and sat up straight to adjust her clothes.

Yu Qianyan remained in a trance, and after being pushed away, she just sat there blankly, not moving at all.

At this time, the Beta who had gone to get the inhibitors finally returned. He broke in anxiously, and only after rushing inside did he remember that he might have just barged in on Yu Qianyan and Rong Shu’s marking scene. He hurriedly stood frozen in place after entering the room, kept his eyes tightly shut, and waved the inhibitors around in a random direction, shouting, “I got it, I got it!”

Seeing this, Rong Shu was speechless, “I don’t need inhibitors anymore, I’m already fine. Call the others in, we need to hurry up and do the makeup and change clothes, or it will be too late.”

The Beta opened his eyes cautiously. Only after confirming that the pair of fiancées left alone in the room hadn’t done anything they shouldn’t have, did he exhale and relax. He placed the inhibitors on the cabinet and went out to call the Omega stylists.

Seeing that Yu Qianyan was still in a daze, Rong Shu walked over and pushed her shoulders.

“You go out.”

“Ah?” Yu Qianyan looked over blankly. It took a few seconds for her focus to return to Rong Shu’s face, and she subconsciously licked her fangs with the tip of her tongue.

This made Rong Shu’s face darken, and her tone became harsh, “Get out! I need to change clothes!”

Yu Qianyan murmured an “en,” and walked out while frantically spraying herself with calmant. But she didn’t leave; she just stood at the door like a statue, leaving the stylists who returned afterward looking at each other in confusion.

The engagement ceremony was indeed about to begin. Yu Qishan had sent people to call Yu Qianyan several times, and later she even came in person, but Yu Qianyan wouldn’t budge.

This was not according to protocol, but Yu Qianyan was adamant about waiting for Rong Shu to go out together. She wouldn’t listen to anyone who tried to persuade her, being incredibly stubborn.

The mother and daughter confronted each other for a long time. Yu Qishan thought about the temporary marking that Yu Qianyan had reported to her, pondered for a moment, and ultimately didn’t push Yu Qianyan further. She only urged them somewhat unhappily to tidy up quickly, before returning to host the guests.

Before long, Yu Qianyan was led to the room next door by the Beta stylist to change her clothes. Because she was an Alpha, there weren’t so many requirements for makeup, and Yu Qianyan found it troublesome, so she just had the stylist comb her hair into a bun according to her request and considered it dressed up. She went back to standing by the door as a guardian deity.

After a long time, exclamations of praise rose and fell from the dressing room, followed by a series of footsteps. Thinking that Rong Shu must be ready, Yu Qianyan finally snapped out of her trance and focused her energy, staring intently at the door.

The door opened. Rong Shu, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, covered in pearls and jewelry, with a floral motif between her eyebrows, walked out with a faint smile. She was like a goddess descending, lotus flowers blooming with every step.

In an instant, all the joy and laughter around them faded. Only the stars falling into her eyes, plating the beauty before her in divine light.

Beauty unmatched.

Yu Qianyan’s right hand reached out to touch her sword, but she grasped only empty air. She didn’t care; she just gazed intently at Rong Shu walking toward her.

The hand that had wanted to touch the sword slid smoothly, reaching out to take Rong Shu’s hand.

Yu Qianyan escorted her fiancée toward the engagement hall. As she walked, she thought to herself, let’s consider us married today.

So, I’m getting married too, she thought.
