I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 51

Key Figures

Xuan Yuchi was about to take off her jacket when Bian Yunchen pressed down on her hand.

She kneaded Xuan Yuchi’s fingers and said, “Right here… do you want to try it?”

Bian Yunchen’s eyes were full of provocation, her tone was encouraging, and her warm breath brushed Xuan Yuchi’s ear, making it difficult not to be tempted.

Xuan Yuchi was troubled and stammered, “Can we not, can we go back to the original, the purer kind…”

It was a total mood killer.

The beauty was annoyed and asked her why she wasn’t sleeping in the middle of the night—was she going to meet someone?

Xuan Yuchi: “No, I can’t sleep, so I came out for a walk.”

Bian Yunchen suddenly bit her on the shoulder, then stood up and brushed the dust off her clothes. “Then let’s walk together.”

Her tone was cold, and it looked like she was sulking again.

Xuan Yuchi felt guilty and didn’t dare to let her be angry. They walked quietly for a while until they seemed to be alone. Xuan Yuchi grabbed Bian Yunchen’s wrist, pushed her against a tree, and kissed her lips unexpectedly, drawing in her breath, which was cold, yet light and airy.

She realized she was quite obsessed with her body.

They kissed against the tree for a while. Xuan Yuchi took her hand and continued walking forward.

Xuan Yuchi felt a faint excitement. Soon, she would be able to personally experience the memories from the previous times. Being entangled with one person for four lifetimes was indescribably wonderful.

And this person was right beside her, as if they would never be separated.

Water was dripping outside the cave, which was gloomy and foreboding—a clearly dangerous place.

Xuan Yuchi said, “Should we go in and have a look? Or you can stay outside. The cave will definitely be colder.”

Bian Yunchen gripped her hand tightly. “I’ll go with you.”

Xuan Yuchi’s heart hammered “thump, thump, thump.” They passed through a curtain of rain from an unknown source. The road they came on was already slippery enough, and ahead was the pool the system mentioned. One wrong step and she would slide out.

System: [Host, now is the time!]

Xuan Yuchi turned around abruptly and pushed Bian Yunchen, using the mutual force to make herself fall towards the pool.

“Splash!”

Water splashed everywhere, but the person in the water didn’t thrash. She sank peacefully.

Her hair spread out in the water like seaweed, like a lotus leaf supporting her. A soft, white light radiated from her body, then gathered again.

Xuan Yuchi remembered.

That year, natural disasters frequently occurred worldwide—earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, flash floods… The arrival of each event seemed to herald the approaching end of the world.

The ruling party’s policies were heavily questioned. In the election, the Conservative Party unexpectedly took the historical stage, and society began to undergo a massive change.

She didn’t understand why her once relatively liberal mother had suddenly become conservative. The marriage between her mother and mama was hanging by a thread, and the atmosphere at home grew heavier by the day. The school, which had advocated for openness and tolerance, also changed face, feeding students what they once called dross.

All of this made Xuan Yuchi want to escape and resist. By chance, she joined the opposition party, where a few normal people remained.

Later, she was killed by a bomb during a mission.

Then she was reborn. Destiny rolled in fiercely. She did her best but couldn’t stop it and was hit and killed.

After that, she and Yunchen were reborn together. She was stabbed in the back, held under house arrest by the Conservative Party, and confined to bed, utterly helpless.

She remembered Yunchen guarding her bedside then. She was already somewhat incoherent. Yunchen told her that the family orchid had grown a little taller. She asked Yunchen if there would be orchids next year.

Hearing this, Bian Yunchen grasped Xuan Yuchi’s hands and buried her face in them. A tear dropped onto Xuan Yuchi’s palm, its scorching temperature reaching her heart and lingering.

Fate had chosen them; fate was toying with them.

Perhaps the heavens found it boring, so they sent her a system last time. If Yunchen hadn’t suddenly recovered her memory and decided to stop playing this game, they would probably have repeated the same mistake.

System: [So, how will you choose?]

Option one: Complete the task with an extremely low success rate and possibly die a terrible death.

Option two: Enjoy the present, seize the day. If you can’t beat them, join them.

This choice was officially laid before Xuan Yuchi.

Xuan Yuchi woke up in a hospital room. Bian Yunchen was talking to the doctor. Xuan Yuchi pulled out the IV needle on her hand, got out of bed barefoot, asked the doctor to leave first, and then closed the door.

Seeing her barefoot, Bian Yunchen ordered her to put on her shoes immediately. Xuan Yuchi scrambled to put on her shoes.

“I need to go to the Shadowless Tower and see that old person,” Xuan Yuchi said, grasping Bian Yunchen’s shoulders.

Bian Yunchen was momentarily startled.

How did Xuan Yuchi know about the person in the Shadowless Tower?

“What are you going to do?” Bian Yunchen asked.

Xuan Yuchi: “She’s my great-aunt!”

In response to the system’s question, Xuan Yuchi chose the first option.

She clearly sensed that with each reincarnation, the world’s level of toxicity decreased. Since that was the case, she still wanted to try. The worst that could happen was to die once; she could always be reborn.

System: [Congratulations on receiving the reward—Key Plot Reminder: An old person is closely connected to you. She is your great-aunt, Huo Demeng, currently imprisoned in the Bian family’s Shadowless Tower. Go find her quickly.]

The heavy door was pushed open, and the smell of dust filled the air.

Xuan Yuchi paused. “I have some family matters to discuss with my great-aunt. Bian Jiejie, could you wait for me outside?”

She kissed Bian Yunchen’s cheek, leaving Bian Yunchen stunned. Bian Yunchen froze, thinking, has this idiot Xuan Yuchi finally wised up?

Huo Demeng’s aged, lifeless eyes widened slightly when she saw Xuan Yuchi.

This time, how did Xuan Yuchi find her so quickly?

“Great-aunt.”

These two words were like a strong current. Huo Demeng shuddered. She pressed tightly against the wall, somewhat resisting the title.

“Great-aunt?”

Xuan Yuchi called her again.

Huo Demeng shrank back and yelled, “Don’t call me that!”

Huo Demeng didn’t have such a strong reaction when Xuan Yuchi saw her in the previous life. Xuan Yuchi sensed something was wrong and decided to provoke her.

So she put on a distressed face and cried, “Great-aunt, you’ve ruined me!”

“Great-aunt, how could you do this to me?”

Xuan Yuchi rushed over and vehemently shook Huo Demeng’s shoulders, her emotion intense and indignant.

Huo Demeng nearly vomited from the shaking. “This is your destiny. What can I do?”

The first time Xuan Yuchi met her, she was only four years old, a memory Xuan Yuchi herself couldn’t recall.

She was taken by Huo Tian to Fengxia Island to play and stumbled into the hotel’s basement, where she saw Huo Demeng imprisoned.

Little Chi Chi said, “You’re so pitiful. I’ll ask my mama to save you.”

Huo Demeng refused, saying, “Your mama can’t save me either.”

“But you can save me.”

After decades, she finally waited for this child.

Xuan Yuchi calmed down and glared at her. “You must have a way.”

Huo Demeng smiled wickedly. “I do…”

She thought that as soon as Xuan Yuchi took over the baton of fate, she would gain the freedom to die.

The world did collapse again, but she didn’t die as expected. Instead, she was stuck in the cycle with Xuan Yuchi again and again.

“Can you find someone to take over your destiny?” Huo Demeng smiled tremblingly.

Xuan Yuchi frowned, her mind racing.

She stared at Huo Demeng. “Whose destiny did I take over?”

Huo Demeng: “Mine.”

“Yours?”

Huo Demeng nodded. “I was the one chosen by destiny. Otherwise, why would it be you?”

Xuan Yuchi was horrified and collapsed onto the floor. After a few seconds, she stood up again.

In the previous life, they were fooled by their great-aunt into thinking she played Yunchen’s role. They never expected the great-aunt to be her former self.

The great-aunt must have completed the task, but she wasn’t freed. Instead, she became unable to die.

Xuan Yuchi took her hand.

Huo Demeng looked at her defensively. “Where are you taking me?”

Xuan Yuchi: “I’m taking you out to set you free.”

Huo Demeng was horrified. “Impossible, no!”

“Even if I get out, I’ll still be locked up for various reasons!”

She was too old to endure such turmoil again.

Xuan Yuchi narrowed her eyes. “Really?”

She insisted on trying, pulling Huo Demeng upward forcefully. Huo Demeng was dragged along the floor, constantly wailing.

Xuan Yuchi stopped and put her hands on her hips. “How did you complete the task?”

Huo Demeng crawled on the ground, slowly lifting her head, her voice weak. “Every generation of the Bai family has someone who can foresee the future. Go find her…”

Xuan Yuchi went home and packed her bags, saying she had an urgent matter and needed to go abroad. She called Yunchen to inform her.

Bian Yunchen: “When are you leaving?”

Xuan Yuchi: “Tomorrow.”

Bian Yunchen: “I’ll charter a plane for you.”

Xuan Yuchi: “Okay.”

Before hanging up, Xuan Yuchi suddenly felt a pang of longing for her.

A lifetime was as brief as a dream, and she hadn’t properly told Yunchen “I love you.”

“I love you,” she whispered.

There was silence on the other end for a moment, then an “Mmm.”

Xuan Yuchi boarded the plane, accepted the coffee from the flight attendant, and took a sip. Suddenly, she felt the need to use the restroom, and there she saw a note…

The plane took off, and the flight attendant pushed the meal cart over.

“No, thank you. I don’t have an appetite,” Xuan Yuchi said.

“A bullet doesn’t care if you have an appetite,” the flight attendant said, drawing a gun, shooting Xuan Yuchi in the heart, and then, with the help of a partner, escaped by jumping out of the plane.

Xuan Yuchi’s chest was bleeding, and she fainted.

The assassin reported back to Bian Shangying: “Don’t worry, she’s certainly dead.”

Then, they reported back to Bian Yunchen on the phone: “Don’t worry, your mother believes Miss Xuan has suffered a fatal injury. Thank you for your business.”

Xuan Yuchi was rushed to the hospital, where she was consciously pronounced dead by the doctor.

Bian Yunchen cried and took away her “body.” She stayed in the basement of Fengxia Island for more than ten days until “Xuan Yuchi” was cremated, and only then did Yunchen come to see her.

Xuan Yuchi asked her to let her out. She still had to complete that matter overseas.

Bian Yunchen stared at her and suddenly smiled. “Are you going to run away and never come back?”

Xuan Yuchi knew this was her PTSD acting up. Any explanation would be futile.

She pressed Yunchen onto the bed and kissed her passionately, making her body go soft and her vision blur.

She played with Bian Yunchen’s body, slowly performing a symphony of passion, and the two gradually moved toward a state of perfect harmony.

Bian Yunchen wrapped tightly around her like a snake, and she reciprocated with fervent, direct love, unrestrained and intoxicating, their gasps melodic.

Bian Yunchen felt her possessiveness, a greedy smile blossoming on her face, wishing she could give her everything and be destroyed with her.

“Is it the vulnerable period?”

Xuan Yuchi rubbed against her neck and shook her head.

The next second, without Bian Yunchen’s consent, she bit down on her gland.

Bian Yunchen’s pupils trembled, and her heart beat violently, as if a drop of sugar water was about to fall into her mouth. Her lips parted slightly, waiting for the pain to arrive.
