I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 33.1
Bian Yunchen’s Stance
“Hiss.”
A banded krait crawled to Xuan Yuchi’s feet, flicking its tongue.
Another one slithered to her hand and coiled up.
“What a big donut…” Xuan Yuchi giggled foolishly.
“How is it moving…”
She dreamed that she and Yunchen were in a dessert shop. The shop owner said they were the first guests of the day and asked them to try a new product.
System: [Host, wake up quickly!]
Xuan Yuchi: [Why…]
System: [There are snakes!]
Xuan Yuchi: [Where are the snakes?]
System: [The one in your hand is one.]
Xuan Yuchi giggled foolishly: [You’re lying, this is clearly…]
The donut in her hand instantly turned into a circle of snakes. Xuan Yuchi’s eyes widened in her dream.
She opened her eyes, awake, and beside her hand was an unbelievably ugly snake.
The person and the snake locked eyes. Xuan Yuchi screamed, her voice piercing the night sky.
Bian Yunchen immediately sat up. She was a light sleeper. She vigilantly looked at Xuan Yuchi, lifting her jacket to strike at the snake.
However, a snake was sleeping on her jacket, the one that had crawled past Xuan Yuchi’s feet. It now flew towards Xuan Yuchi, opening its gaping mouth.
“Ahhh!!!” Xuan Yuchi was so scared she rolled to the side. The snake on the ground crawled over again.
Xuan Yuchi: [666!]
System: [Understood.]
System: [Congratulations on obtaining “Skill Borrowing” – Desperate Xiao Qing.]
[Skill Description: Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai were originally a happy pair of snake sisters. One day, a meteorite fell, and the alien species Wushan invaded Earth.]
[Poor Xiao Bai was brainwashed by Wushan’s nuclear electromagnetic waves and started an interspecies romance. The desperate Xiao Qing realized that her feelings for Xiao Bai were more than just ordinary sisterhood.]
[Xiao Qing bought realgar wine and drank it with Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai revealed her snake form. Wushan was shocked and fainted, shouting: “I still need to pass the civil service exam!”]
[Wushan summoned a UFO and ran away. Qing and Bai have lived sweetly in seclusion ever since.]
Xuan Yuchi: [What kind of crazy skill is this!]
System: [I don’t know either, that’s just what the panel says.]
Xuan Yuchi fumbled around, dodging towards Bian Yunchen. She didn’t have a jacket, so she simply took off her top to drive the snakes away.
The two snakes stood side by side, raising their bodies.
Xuan Yuchi quickly recalled the system’s reminder and glanced at the beer bottle in the corner.
Alcohol…
Xuan Yuchi lunged to grab the beer bottle. The two snakes flew towards her simultaneously. She was quick, splashing the beer over them. The two snakes acted as if they had been splashed with sulfuric acid, losing their fight and slithering away.
Xuan Yuchi swallowed hard, still shaken. She patted her chest, then turned to see Yunchen lifting her pant leg. Two snake bite marks were visible on her pale ankle.
The second hand pointed to twelve. It was a new day, and the lottery chances refreshed.
Xuan Yuchi: [666, lottery draw.]
System: [Drawing for you now. Congratulations on obtaining “Thank You for Your Patronage.”]
Xuan Yuchi was speechless, seriously suspecting that 666 was deliberately messing with her.
She knelt on one knee, exchanged a look with Yunchen who was crouching on the ground, and then lifted Yunchen’s ankle.
“Xuan Yuchi!” Bian Yunchen said urgently.
Xuan Yuchi sucked the poisonous blood from her foot and spat it out of the tent.
Her mouth was stained with Yunchen’s blood, which looked terrifying under the camping light. Yunchen reached out to wipe the blood from her lips and scolded, “Are you crazy?”
Xuan Yuchi: “Sister Bian, I’ll be fine. Let me help you suck all the poison out.”
“Nonsense.”
Bian Yunchen was angry. She was also flesh and blood, so how could Xuan Yuchi be fine? She was just trying to coax her.
Every extra time Xuan Yuchi sucked, she was in greater danger.
She tried to walk out of the tent but was pulled back by Xuan Yuchi.
Xuan Yuchi: “Snakes are not afraid of beer.”
Yet, Xuan Yuchi had driven away the two venomous snakes with beer.
Bian Yunchen paused.
Xuan Yuchi helped her sit down and once again sucked the poison from her ankle.
Xuan Yuchi’s mouth gradually turned purplish, cold sweat broke out on her face, and her body trembled.
System: [Host, you are seeking death!]
Xuan Yuchi: [But you won’t let me die, will you?]
System: [Ahhh, Host, you’re going to drive me crazy.]
Xuan Yuchi: [Hurry up… I can’t hold on much longer.]
She felt cold in her upper body and hot in her lower body, experiencing alternating extremes of hot and cold. She was sneezing so hard she could barely breathe.
Bian Yunchen held her in her arms, using paper to wipe the sweat from her face. She held Xuan Yuchi’s hand with one hand, showing a tenderness she had never displayed before: “I’ll have the production crew come and pick you up.”
“No…”
“No need to trouble them.”
Xuan Yuchi felt dizzy, but she firmly believed she wouldn’t die. 666 was delaying giving her the antidote, merely wanting to teach her a lesson.
System: [Does it hurt?]
Xuan Yuchi: [Duh! 666, have you had enough? Give me the lottery draw now.]
System: [I am not 666.]
Xuan Yuchi: [???]
System: [Due to its dereliction of duty, Headquarters has transferred it. I am your new system, System 456, Personality: Hard-hearted and Impartial.]
Xuan Yuchi rolled her eyes internally. A system was trying to play multiple personalities with her now.
Xuan Yuchi: [Call yourself whatever you want, just give me the antidote! I really can’t hold on!]
System: [The antidote is Bian Yunchen’s fingertip blood.]
Xuan Yuchi’s gaze fell on Yunchen’s slightly flushed fingertip. She looked up and met Yunchen’s eyes.
“Sister Bian, I need your fingertip blood. Is that okay?”
Bian Yunchen rummaged through the toolbox provided by the production crew, took out a small knife, and sliced her ring finger. Bright red drops of blood dripped into Xuan Yuchi’s mouth—one drop, two drops, three drops…
System: [That’s enough.]
Xuan Yuchi’s pale complexion eased. The blood of an S-class Omega had the scent of pheromones; mountain snow fell onto her tongue, soothing her inner restlessness.
“I’m all better now,” Xuan Yuchi said relaxedly, flashing a smile.
But Yunchen’s face remained solemn.
The absurdity of this matter exceeded her imagination. The Bian family never believed in the supernatural.
Yet, she had witnessed it firsthand today.
Recalling Xuan Yuchi’s previous strange words and actions, she seemed to understand something.
“Yuchi, Yunchen!”
The female camerawoman rushed in, carrying her camera. Seeing the mess on the ground, she looked extremely worried: “Are you two okay?”
Xuan Yuchi shook her head.
Camerawoman: “I’m glad you’re fine. Let’s go quickly!”
“Morandi was just bitten by a snake!”
Xuan Yuchi rushed into Morandi’s tent.
The camerawoman focused her lens on the two. She and Morandi had been woken up by Xuan Yuchi’s scream and were about to go check when they encountered two snakes on the way. Morandi was unlucky enough to be bitten.
The camerawoman helped her back to the tent, but Morandi still instructed her to carry the camera and find Xuan Yuchi. Such a sudden emergency was excellent program material; she shouldn’t worry about herself.
Morandi had called the production team, asking them to send people to pick them up.
The production team would take nearly an hour to arrive by car, so she wouldn’t die.
“Are you okay?” Morandi was curled up on the ground in pain.
She had never been bitten by a snake before and didn’t expect the venom to be so fierce. Besides the pain in the wound, she felt nauseous.
“I’m fine.” Xuan Yuchi squatted down.
System: [I am not 666. If the Host deliberately seeks death, I will report to Headquarters and request a replacement Host.]
Xuan Yuchi gritted her teeth: [You’re merciless.]
Xuan Yuchi: “Have you called for external aid?”
Camerawoman: “Yes, I’ve called, and they are on their way.”
Xuan Yuchi put Morandi on her back: “We’ll drive out too, to save time!”
The four people got onto the three-wheeled vehicle. Morandi couldn’t help but vomit to the side, and the camerawoman offered her tissues.
Morandi quickly took them: “Hold steady.”
The camerawoman understood, held the camera steady, and ensured the footage transmitted to the live stream wasn’t too shaky.
The two groups met up. Before Morandi got into the RV, she grabbed Bian Yunchen’s hand and said, “Yunchen, you and Yuchi take care. The production team will send someone to replace me for a while. I’ll be back as soon as I recover!”
“Don’t forget to interact with the fans in the live chat. That’s the essence of live streaming…”
Morandi, like a mother who couldn’t let go of her child, was forcibly sent into the car by Xuan Yuchi.
“Alright, go with peace of mind. We’ll wait for you.”
Xuan Yuchi knew that Morandi, a workaholic, was afraid of having her job stolen and repeatedly reassured her.
The three returned to the original spot and slept until nine in the morning, when the new on-site PD woke them up.
The newcomer’s eyes lit up when she saw Xuan Yuchi: “Hello, I’m the new PD. My name is A Fan.”
Xuan Yuchi shook her hand and smiled: “I’m Xuan Yuchi.”
Bian Yunchen stared at A Fan—a lively round face, short hair, and not very tall. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before.
A Fan reached out to Bian Yunchen: “Sister Yunchen, I’ve seen your movie. It’s very artistic.”
Bian Yunchen extended her hand: “A pleasure.”
A Fan: “Well then, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration while Morandi is on sick leave!”
The camerawoman followed behind, and A Fan also stood behind the camera: “Today is the official first day of the trip. Now, I need to confiscate some items.”
A Fan smiled sweetly: “Please hand over the food and water you brought with you.”
Xuan Yuchi cooperated readily, opening the three suitcases and taking out the food inside, tossing it into the bag A Fan had prepared.
“It’s all here,” Xuan Yuchi said brightly.
Bian Yunchen couldn’t help but glance at her. If she remembered correctly, there were still a few small pieces of bread and snacks tucked into the clothes layer of Xuan Yuchi’s own suitcase.
Xuan Yuchi sensed Yunchen’s gaze, met her eyes, and the two tacitly lowered their heads.
With the food confiscated, they had to solve breakfast themselves.
When Xuan Yuchi was driving, she noticed that there were orange trees in the woods to their left.
A Fan gave them the production team’s phone so the two could interact with the bullet comments.
After a night of fermenting, the real-time viewing audience for the live stream reached 80 million people, including Yunchen’s fans and onlookers who came to see the excitement.
Judging from the bullet comments, it seemed there were more onlookers.
Someone had dug up Xuan Yuchi’s background and discovered she had been engaged to Bian Yunchen, and a group of people were frantically asking for confirmation in the comments.
