Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession - Chapter 53

Consciousness gradually blurred.

Feng Jiying only wanted to be enveloped by Gu Qiqi’s sweet pheromones, as if that was the only way to find some relief.

Gu Qiqi’s cool fingers pressed against the scent gland at the nape of Feng Jiying’s neck.

Feng Jiying trembled all over, the corners of her eyes tinged red.

Feng Jiying: “Gu Qiqi, you resent me, don’t you? You hate me? Hate me for not saving you.”

From the terminal on her wrist, Gu Qiqi downloaded the documents that would transfer the Feng Corporation as soon as Feng Jiying pressed her fingerprint onto them.

[System: Host, isn’t this taking advantage of someone’s weakness?]

Gu Qiqi sneered inwardly. Back when the Gu family fell, the three major families had swarmed in like vultures, greedily carving up their assets wasn’t that taking advantage of their weakness too?

She was only reclaiming everything she had lost back then.

Just because thieves came in pairs, did that make them any less thieves?

Hearing Feng Jiying’s question, Gu Qiqi found it utterly baffling. “How could I ever expect you to save me? If you didn’t kill me, I’d already be thanking the heavens. Feng Jiying, you owe me. This time, you’re going to repay every last bit of it.”

Feng Jiying owed her a life.

But Gu Qiqi didn’t want blood on her hands.

She couldn’t give the federal government even the slightest excuse to come after her.

With a sudden movement, Feng Jiying flipped their positions, pinning Gu Qiqi beneath her.

Gu Qiqi inhaled the overpowering, bitter scent of coffee, laced with a hint of melancholy.

Strange, she could actually sense the emotions in Feng Jiying’s pheromones.

Feng Jiying: “Please, mark me. Please.”

Her voice carried a faint sob, her eyes red and glistening with unshed tears.

The symptoms of her heat had completely overtaken her. No matter how disciplined or composed she usually was, right now, she was reduced to nothing but an omega’s primal instincts.

Those almond-shaped eyes, red and wet, gazed pleadingly at Gu Qiqi.

Gu Qiqi held the documents in front of Feng Jiying, gripping her wrist before sinking her alpha fangs into Feng Jiying’s index finger, drawing blood.

In a coaxing tone, she murmured, “Just press your fingerprint here, and I’ll ease your suffering,  give you the greatest pleasure you’ve ever known.”

She deliberately lowered her voice, lacing it with a seductive huskiness.

Feng Jiying, like a puppet under Gu Qiqi’s control, lifted her hand in a daze, searching for the spot where her fingerprint was needed. She pressed her bleeding finger onto the printed signature line, right over the name “Feng Jiying.”

[System: Host, if Feng Jiying realizes what you’ve done after she sobers up that you used this method to take the Feng Corporation from her won’t she be furious?]

Furious?

Feng Jiying had slaughtered over a hundred members of the Gu family.

If carving up the Gu Corporation was a generational feud from their past lives, then in the last life within the game system, Feng Jiying had also killed her. And in this life, Feng Jiying had caused the deaths of another hundred Gu family members.

This debt, she would make Feng Jiying repay it, bit by bit.

Taking the Feng Corporation was only the first step. She wanted Feng Jiying to experience what it was like to lose her backing, to lose her identity as the head of the Feng Corporation to be reduced to nothing but a weak, ordinary omega, one that anyone could bully at will.

Sharp alpha fangs pierced the omega’s scent gland.

Two clashing pheromones chased, intertwined, and merged within the room.

Despite the absence of any heating, the rising body heat alone forced the temperature in the room up by ten degrees.

The weather in Central City was unpredictably erratic, with a storm brewing outside.

A sudden gust of wind swept in, rustling the leaves of the trees. The leaves clung helplessly to the branches, fragile and pitiful, drifting aimlessly in the wind.

One leaf held on stubbornly to its branch, refusing to be torn away, lest it fall and become a withered husk, trampled underfoot, deprived of nourishment.

It was the most insignificant leaf in the vast world, entirely dependent on the tree it grew from while the tree had countless leaves and endless choices, this one had none.

A complete mark was like a brand, searing an alpha’s pheromones deep into an omega’s body.

Even if the alpha and omega had never met before, once the complete mark was formed, the omega would inevitably fall in love with the alpha.

Even if the alpha grew unfaithful, the omega would never change their devotion for the rest of their life.

Even if the alpha was a heinous criminal, a despicable villain, or an abusive monster, the omega could not leave.

Though the night had been filled with violent storms, the morning sun shone brilliantly.

Central City had been experiencing abnormal weather for nearly a month now, and its residents seemed almost accustomed to the phenomenon.

Feng Jiying lay peacefully asleep on Gu Qiyi’s large bed.

Only the harsh sunlight streaming through the window fell on her face, making her frown slightly.

The blanket had slipped off, revealing her bare shoulders, covered in dense bruises.

Slowly, Feng Jiying opened her eyes, waking from her slumber.

After being completely marked, an omega’s heat symptoms would vanish instantly, but the sensitivity period had not yet passed. The symptoms could resurface, though as long as the alpha’s pheromones remained at a certain level in her body, a full-blown heat wouldn’t easily erupt.

Feng Jiying was fully awake now. She sat up abruptly.

Tear stains from the previous night were still visible at the corners of her eyes.

Heat didn’t mean amnesia every moment of last night’s loss of control now flashed through her mind.

Her usually fair, unblemished skin was now marred beyond recognition.

Pressing her fingers to her throbbing temples, her expression darkened.

She immediately lifted her index finger, punctured by the alpha’s fangs, the wound had already scabbed over.

Gu Qiyi had taken advantage of her during her sensitivity period.

Xiao Bai’s terminal call came through.

Feng Jiying dressed quickly and answered.

Xiao Bai: [President, what’s going on? Federal agents came to the company this morning saying all of Feng Corporation’s assets have been transferred to Miss Gu. Is this true? Where were you last night?]

Xiao Bai’s frantic voice crackled through the terminal, each question like a bomb detonating in Feng Jiying’s ears.

Though Feng Jiying remained outwardly composed, no different from usual, every mention of Gu Qiyi’s name felt like a hammer striking her chest.

Her heart skipped a beat an uncontrollable flutter, an indescribable thrill racing from her spine to her limbs. The tingling sensation clouded her mind, making it impossible to think clearly.

Feng Jiying: [The Federal Property Notary personnel were there too, weren’t they?]

Feng Jiying spoke, her voice hoarse beyond recognition.

Xiao Bai: [President, what happened to your voice?]

Feng Jiying: [I’ve been fully marked by Gu Qiyi.]

Xiao Bai: [What!!!]

Xiao Bai let out a sharp scream from the other end of the terminal, startling Xiao Qi who had been fast asleep.

Xiao Qi meowed discontentedly at Feng Jiying twice, then pressed her furry little paws against her ears. Her small ears twitched before she turned over and went back to sleep in her cat bed.

Feng Jiying: [It’s fine. I’m heading out now to Feng Corporation.]

Xiao Bai: [President, the company cars have been frozen. I can’t come pick you up right now. Please hurry.]

Feng Jiying replied with a simple “Okay” before immediately hanging up.

She scooped up the still-sleeping Xiao Qi into her arms. “Little sleepyhead, say goodbye to your premium cat litter and luxury cat bed. How can you still nap so carefree?”

Yet Feng Jiying wasn’t angry.

A lifetime of discipline allowed her to maintain rationality in any situation. She wanted to see what tricks Gu Qiyi was playing.

The pride ingrained in her bones wouldn’t let her bow easily.

From the moment she presented as an omega, the delicate secondary gender alphas had become her natural adversaries. Even after being fully marked, she would retain her sense of self.

But as soon as she stepped outside with Xiao Qi, Feng Jiying encountered her first obstacle: her accounts were frozen, leaving her terminal balance at zero.

Without means to pay for an interstellar taxi, she’d have to walk to the company.

When she tried to make another call, her terminal emitted a notification tone:

[Notice: Your terminal balance has been frozen. Due to abnormal financial activity, your terminal system has been suspended. Please visit the relevant department to unfreeze your account. We apologize for the inconvenience.]

Feng Jiying: …

For the first time in her privileged life, Feng Jiying walked such a long distance. It took her nearly four hours to trek from Gu Qiyi’s estate to Feng Corporation.

An omega inhibitor patch covered the mark on her nape.

The alpha’s pheromones had stabilized her heat-induced restlessness. Though still in her sensitive period, she wouldn’t randomly emit pheromones now. Without her signature luxury car, no one connected the walking woman to the Feng Corporation president.

Yesterday’s storm had given way to blazing sunshine.

The harsh light made Feng Jiying squint, but she cradled Xiao Qi protectively, shielding the kitten from the sun’s rays.

From waking until now, she hadn’t consumed a single drop of water or bite of food.

Xiao Bai waited anxiously at the entrance, visibly relieved upon seeing Feng Jiying.

“President, the Grand Elder is already waiting in your office. What should we do?”

Feng Jiying’s expression remained icy. “We’ll cross each bridge as we come to it. Gu Qiyi won’t find revenge so easily.”

But Xiao Bai looked troubled. She sensed her president hadn’t truly let go of Miss Gu.

Feng Jiying’s executive access card had been deactivated, barring her from the private elevator.

Step by step, Xiao Bai accompanied her up forty-six flights of stairs.

The moment the door opened, Feng Jiying’s neck was seized by the elder, who forcefully pinned him against the wall. “Feng Jiying, you actually handed the Feng family over to someone else. Useless omega indeed once marked, you can only become an alpha’s plaything.”

The elder’s eyes burned with bloodthirsty ruthlessness. After years of meticulous planning, his grand scheme had unraveled at this small, unexpected turn. Decades of effort had gone to waste.

“If I’d known you were just another wanton slut, I should have marked you myself,” the elder snarled, his eyes bloodshot, mouth gaping to reveal the fangs of an alpha’s scent gland.

“I always said the Feng family would be ruined in your hands sooner or later. I should have killed you long ago and taken over myself. My mercy was my downfall, now you’ve ruined everything.”

Seeing the elder meant business, Xiao Bai immediately stepped forward.

“Get lost!” The elder’s psychic energy erupted, an invisible force gripping Xiao Bai’s throat and lifting him off the ground before slamming him down hard.

Xiao Qi sensed the danger and wriggled out of Feng Jiying’s arms. Spotting the twisted old man, she hissed at the elder, baring her tiny pink claws. But the vile old man snatched her by the scruff and flung her aside. Her small body crashed into the side of the desk with a pained whimper.

Feng Jiying’s face darkened instantly. “Xiao Qi!”

“You can’t even save yourself, yet you worry about that little beast? Clearly, I’ve been too lenient all these years, letting you play the comfortable role of Feng Group’s CEO. You’ve turned into a spoiled greenhouse flower, ignorant of everything.”

Feng Jiying struggled against the elder’s grip. “I know you’ve always wanted me dead. But the Feng family was my parents’ legacy. I’ve guarded against you all these years, and you’ve never succeeded. Even now, I won’t let you take it. Kill me if you want but the Feng Group belongs to Gu Qiqi now. You’ll get nothing. All your scheming, all these years, and you end up with nothing. Must be agony, isn’t it? Go ahead, kill me. But you’ll bear the consequences of murdering an omega.”

Enraged, the elder tore off the scent-suppressing patch on Feng Jiying’s nape. “Still so arrogant? Without your title as CEO, what are you?”

Just as the elder’s fangs were about to pierce Feng Jiying’s gland, the office door exploded open with a deafening crash, shattered by an overwhelming psychic force. Instinctively, the elder froze.

The next second, his arm twisted at an unnatural angle, bones snapping.

Gu Qiqi strode in, one hand in her pocket, Gu Qingyun following behind. Her gaze barely skimmed Feng Jiying. “So, this old man is the one who doomed over a hundred from the Gu family? Make him experience death a hundred times. Don’t kill him completely, just take him away.”
