I Heard I’m a Scummy Alpha? [Transmigration] - Chapter 102

Qin Lifeng, Qi Fanghuai, and the siblings Xuan Mingzhu and Xuan Baiquan had each established their own guilds. Among them, Qin Lifeng’s [Xunxian Sect] had risen to become the number one guild in the game, thanks to his unmatched combat power and formidable reputation.

On the final day of Immortal Unseen’s closed beta, the four of them caught wind of Qi Yunwei’s whereabouts through their guild members. They immediately set off to teach her a lesson—but every time, they arrived just a little too late.

Before they could find her, she had already moved elsewhere.

Finally, they spotted Qi Yunwei’s figure in Starfield Expanse.

The night was deep, the faint moonlight and starlight casting dim silver over the land. In that pale glow, they could only make out Qi Yunwei’s silhouette.

As they approached, they realized there was another woman standing beside her—slim, graceful, and unfamiliar.

Recalling the rumors they’d heard before, the group exchanged startled looks.

Could Yan Zui really disguise herself as a player?

No—that was impossible. Even if Yan Zui could disguise herself, she would never come here, to a lovers’ meeting spot like Starfield Expanse, with Qi Yunwei of all people. She wouldn’t even look at someone like her.

So, did this mean Qi Yunwei was cheating? Bringing another woman here for a secret tryst?

When they were about two or three meters away, they noticed several other figures moving stealthily toward Qi Yunwei from different directions. A brief, wary exchange of glances confirmed it—they were all here for the same reason.

Qi Fanghuai pointed subtly toward Qi Yunwei’s back. The others nodded.

Qi Yunwei had been stargazing with Yan Zui when she suddenly noticed that they were surrounded.

“Qi Yunwei! Didn’t expect to catch you here!” Xuan Baiquan couldn’t contain himself and shouted angrily, pointing straight at her.

His voice carried through the night, startling Liang Kejue and He Yunqing, who weren’t far away.

He Yunqing had asked to meet her one last time—to watch the stars together and then officially dissolve their engagement. Liang Kejue had agreed to come.

But they hadn’t been watching long before she heard someone yelling Qi Yunwei’s name—

and even the word “cheating”.

Qi Yunwei, cheating? Was she stupid? With someone like Yan Zui as her wife, she still needed to cheat?

Her first instinct was disbelief, but Liang Kejue wasn’t about to miss such an opportunity. She immediately stood and started toward the source of the noise.

He Yunqing reached out to stop her. “Ah Jue, if you walk away now, I won’t dissolve our engagement!”

“Do whatever you want,” Liang Kejue replied flatly.

If she could catch Qi Yunwei in the act, Yan Zui would surely divorce her—and that would be Liang Kejue’s chance to swoop in.

Yan Zui’s beauty was beyond compare. Liang Kejue knew she could never have her completely, but even a fleeting taste would be enough.

So whether she broke off her engagement or not didn’t matter.

When He Yunqing saw that Liang Kejue ignored him, his face twisted with fury. His mental state wavered—and the system forcibly logged him out.

Liang Kejue approached. Qi Yunwei stood, glancing at the five familiar faces before her. Aside from Qiao Haiyue—the only one who’d recently shifted her affections—all the others were here.

What was this supposed to be? A conference of scum?

“What do you want from me? Need another beating?” Qi Yunwei asked with a half-smile.

Xuan Mingzhu held back her impulsive brother. “Qi Yunwei, with all of us here, you’re not escaping this time. Say it—how do you want to die?”

Qi Yunwei tilted her head. “You came chasing after me, yet I’m the one who wants to die? Big brother, you’re really going to let them gang up on your little sister like this?”

Her gaze flicked toward Qi Fanghuai.

Qi Fanghuai caught the others’ wary looks and replied coolly, “You don’t have to force yourself to call me brother. I wouldn’t dare claim a sister like you.”

Qin Lifeng stepped forward and pointed at Yan Zui. “Qi Yunwei, who’s this woman beside you?”

“Don’t tell me she’s your partner?” Xuan Baiquan said mockingly. “Even if Yan Zui won’t have you, you don’t have to sink this low—what, couldn’t find anyone better than that plain-looking thing?”

Qi Yunwei looked at Yan Zui’s disguised face with exaggerated seriousness. “Plain? Maybe compared to Yan Zui, sure. But ugly? Not at all. You shouldn’t judge someone just by looks or body. She has inner beauty, and that’s what I like about her.”

“Ha! You all heard that, didn’t you? She admitted it!” Xuan Baiquan’s face flushed with excitement.

But the others weren’t so easily convinced. Knowing Qi Yunwei’s cunning, they doubted she’d confess so casually. The woman before them looked completely ordinary—hardly worth a second glance. They couldn’t believe Qi Yunwei, who saw Yan Zui’s face every day, would actually fall for this one.

Especially Liang Kejue. When she’d known Qi Yunwei and Yan Zui, their relationship had seemed solid; Yan Zui had never shown any disdain toward Qi Yunwei. Why would things change now?

Liang Kejue said gently, “Yunwei, everyone knows Yan Zui plays this game too. I don’t believe you’d really bring a lover here so brazenly. What happened between you two? You seemed fine the last time I saw you.”

Her tone was soft and coaxing, like an elder sister trying to reason with her.

Qi Yunwei wasn’t fooled. “Save it. Your motives are obvious—you’re all just drooling over my wife and desperate to pin a cheating scandal on me.”

Qi Fanghuai sneered. “This isn’t framing you. It’s the truth. And if you don’t say who this woman really is, once midnight hits, you’ll be the number one trending cheating scumbag Alpha on the net.”

They didn’t bother lowering their voices. Nearby couples who were initially annoyed by the noise soon found themselves riveted by the gossip—especially since it involved Yan Zui. They edged closer to listen, though the dim light made it impossible to capture any clear pictures.

“Qi Yunwei,” Xuan Baiquan said, cracking his knuckles as he moved closer, “if you know what’s good for you, don’t resist. Let us beat you up a bit, and maybe we’ll keep quiet about your affair.”

His class was Boxer—every punch heavy and brutal.

The others also drew their weapons. They’d already stationed their guild members near the nearest teleport point. Once Qi Yunwei died and respawned, she’d be trapped in an endless cycle of being camped and killed.

Qi Yunwei frowned slightly. “So that’s your grand plan?”

It was crude but effective—especially against ordinary players.

Looks like the first item I’ll sell when the game goes live will be an invisibility cloak, she thought. Otherwise, any solo player who offends a guild is doomed. That’ll ruin the gameplay balance.

As an Artifact Crafter, Qi Yunwei could use any weapon.

She pulled a hammer from her inventory. “So, all of you plan to come at me together?”

Qin Lifeng’s expression darkened. He still remembered the humiliation of losing to her one-on-one.

If not for the spectators nearby, they wouldn’t have wasted time talking—they would’ve ganged up and finished her off already.

“I’ll tell you this,” Xuan Mingzhu said coldly. “Besides us five, there are more waiting at every nearby teleport point. Qi Yunwei, you’re not escaping tonight.”

“If you surrender and let us kill you ten times, we’ll consider it settled. But if you resist—well, it won’t end with just ten.”

Qi Yunwei chuckled. “You’re forgetting something—I have backup too.”

Yan Zui stepped forward, her gaze icy and unreadable. Qi Fanghuai suddenly found her expression familiar. Suspicious, he took out a lantern and lit it.

Under the soft golden glow, the stranger’s eyes shimmered faintly blue.

Qi Fanghuai’s hand tightened around the lantern, his lips pressed into a thin line of disbelief.

He’d seen those eyes before—black shot through with luminous blue.

Impossible. Yan Zui couldn’t possibly be here, and yet—

Before he could speak, Qin Lifeng and the others moved to attack. Qi Fanghuai shouted, “Wait!”

But they weren’t comrades, just temporary allies. No one listened.

Qin Lifeng thrust his sword forward; Xuan Baiquan charged with his fists.

Xuan Mingzhu, more cautious after Qi Fanghuai’s outburst, hesitated. Liang Kejue, however, acted fast—raising a lotus-shaped talisman to conjure a towering wall, cutting off Qi Yunwei’s retreat.

Qi Fanghuai’s eyes never left the woman beside Qi Yunwei. She flicked her wrist—and starlight flared under Qin Lifeng’s and Xuan Baiquan’s feet.

Vines shot up, coiling around their legs. Xuan Baiquan, still lunging, was caught mid-motion and crashed face-first into the ground with a resounding thud.

“What—what happened?” Xuan Mingzhu gasped, not having seen the woman’s casting motion.

Qi Fanghuai said quietly, “That woman beside Qi Yunwei, might be Yan Zui.”

Even the highest-level players still needed a focus item and five to six seconds of chanting to cast a spell. But that woman had conjured vines with just a flick of her hand.

Only immortals could do that. And in Immortal Unseen, there was only one immortal—Yan Zui.

Xuan Mingzhu’s eyes widened. “But why? Why would Yan Zui come here with Qi Yunwei? I thought their marriage was forced!”

Qi Fanghuai’s expression darkened. “Who knows what tricks Qi Yunwei pulled. Looks like Yan Zui’s already under her spell.”

“If we keep attacking, we’ll only make Yan Zui despise everyone involved.”

Xuan Mingzhu silently thanked her instincts for holding her back.

“Let’s exchange contact info,” Qi Fanghuai said in a low voice. “We should meet after logging off to discuss this.”

Xuan Mingzhu froze for a second, then caught on to his intent.

Individually, none of them could reach Yan Zui—but united, perhaps they could.

Yan Zui had become their shared obsession. Even if they had to share her, none of them minded.

Just as they finished exchanging numbers, the woman beside Qi Yunwei shimmered—her form glowing white.

When the light faded, Yan Zui herself stood there, immortal grace radiating from her every movement.

Gasps rippled through the onlookers.

“It’s Yan Zui!”

“She really can disguise herself as a player!”

“Wait—Yan Zui and Qi Yunwei?”

Qin Lifeng and Liang Kejue froze. Even Xuan Baiquan, still sprawled on the ground, looked up in shock. When he saw her face, he couldn’t help the dazed, adoring look that came over him.

“Xiao Jiu, why haven’t you answered my messages?”
