The Aloof Arch-rival Insists On Carrying The Child Of A Useless Alpha - Chapter 5

Even with Jiu Yi’s highly discerning taste, looking at the lips Leng Xuelang pressed against hers… Jiu Yi, glancing over casually, had to admit that the lip shape was absolutely flawless and perfectly suited for kissing.

Despite thinking so, she very cleanly and decisively dodged her lips, letting their mouths merely brush past each other at the corner of the lips. She also subconsciously shielded Leng Xuelang’s body so she would take less of the impact.

As they fell into the bathtub, Jiu Yi couldn’t use her legs to break the fall at all. With a loud, heavy “splash,” water sprayed everywhere, drenching almost the entire bathroom.

Jiu Yi’s back bore nearly the entire weight of both of them. It hurt intensely, but she merely knitted her brows without showing the slightest sign of distress. Instead, she looked down at Leng Xuelang with a complicated, hard to describe expression: “Do you want to kiss me that badly?”

“I… didn’t… you…”

Leng Xuelang would never admit that she actually had wanted to kiss her just now. In the beginning, she had mostly wanted to toy with her. Wasn’t this woman so unwilling to be her antidote? Then she would make things difficult for her.

She hadn’t expected Jiu Yi to not only dodge, but also shield her.

She had heard that loud impact just now loud and clear. Given the frail physique of this human, she must have been injured, and not lightly at that.

All in all, the sound alone was enough to make one’s heart ache.

Yet, Jiu Yi still showed absolutely nothing on her face, leaving her with no idea how bad the injury actually was.

Moreover, she… had actually kissed her just now. Even if it was just the corner of her lips, it was already enough to shock Leng Xuelang.

“Seeing how eager you looked, it wasn’t impossible to give you a little temporary satisfaction,” Jiu Yi said in a thoroughly serious, matter of fact tone after the kiss, which inexplicably made Leng Xuelang even angrier.

“Is that so? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you used that kiss to mask the fact that you’re incompetent.”

“…Miss Leng, do you truly want me to mark you?” Jiu Yi looked at her very seriously, her gaze scanning her face with deep skepticism.

“Which of your eyes makes you think I want you to mark me?” Leng Xuelang sneered, continuing her sarcasm. “You’ve been sitting in that bathtub for so long, don’t tell me you can’t even stand up? Miss Si, you need a wheelchair and can’t even lift an Omega.”

“System, are you sure this Leng Xuelang hasn’t been possessed by someone else?” It wasn’t that Jiu Yi was being overly paranoid, she was just worried she might be targeting the wrong person, which would fail to save the actual target and mess up everything else.

[System]: Confirmed, it is her.

“But is this what you call… delicate, dependent, lacking her own opinion, and timid?”

[System]: Host, did you forget? Haven’t you been to an ABO world before? Your target is usually fiercely aggressive, but once her special period hits, she changes completely, becoming clingy, incredibly cute, and practically desperate to marry you. Leng Xuelang acting like this right now is highly likely due to the influence of her special period.

The System’s explanation… actually made sense. Since it had confirmed time and again that this Omega was indeed Leng Xuelang, she would choose to believe it for now.

Right now, she truly couldn’t lift Leng Xuelang up. She didn’t get angry at her words either, instead, she patted her bottom to signal her to get off her lap so she could head back out in her wheelchair.

It was the first time in her life that Leng Xuelang had ever had her bottom patted. Although she could tell there was no malice and that it was entirely casual, it still made her feel inexplicably ashamed. “You!”

“If you keep sitting in my lap, there’s no guaranteeing this cripple won’t do something to you,” Jiu Yi cut her off directly, speaking plainly.

Leng Xuelang was furious. “If you wanted me to get up, just say so! Why did you slap my butt?”

“It was convenient.”

“Then can I conveniently slap yours too?”

“Suit yourself.”

“You are so annoying!” Leng Xuelang resentfully splashed water at her before finally getting up to walk out. She was soaked through, her exquisite and elegant figure faintly visible through her clothes. Her steps were graceful, yet she was practically fumes of rage, a sight that made one want to chuckle.

Jiu Yi watched her leave, still feeling that something was amiss. But she couldn’t afford to overthink it right now, she could only change into dry clothes before rolling herself out in her wheelchair.

Leng Xuelang had already returned to her guest bedroom. Jiu Yi glanced at the room’s layout and took in the scent of the space, noting that while the Omega’s scent wasn’t overwhelmingly thick yet, it still left her thoughtful.

She quickly finished tidying herself up and went over. She saw Leng Xuelang sitting pettishly in front of that pile of financial reports, refusing to even look at them, aggressively drying her hair with a towel.

Seeing Jiu Yi arrive, she let out a cold huff and turned her head away, completely ignoring her.

However, her pheromones were far more honest than her body. The moment Jiu Yi appeared, they instantly wrapped around her, greedily soaking up the warmth and scent of the Alpha, thoroughly loving it.

Jiu Yi twined a strand of the pheromone around her fingertip. Leng Xuelang could feel it, her spine stiffened for a fraction of a second, and then even more unhelpful pheromones drifted toward Jiu Yi’s position. This made Leng Xuelang feel increasingly humiliated, especially since she could practically hear Jiu Yi’s silent mockery.

“What’s so funny? If it weren’t for you people, would I even be in this state?” Leng Xuelang turned back to look at her, her face completely flushed, looking very much like a blustering, helpless young animal.

Jiu Yi had no intention of making things hard for her. She merely pressed her hand against Leng Xuelang’s forehead, it was still burning hot. She checked her scent gland; it had become completely swollen from the pheromones, flushed and inexplicably alluring.

[System]: Host, Leng Xuelang’s condition is still very poor, and you only have 4 hours left to complete the mission.

The System began urging Jiu Yi to mark her again:

[System]: Leng Xuelang is just talking tough. You really don’t need to worry about her refusing. Just take a bite! Trust me, she won’t mind and will thoroughly enjoy your mark.

“Shut up.”

[System]: Ying.

Jiu Yi naturally wouldn’t listen to it, but letting things continue like this was indeed out of the question. The entire guest room was filled with the scent of her pheromones, the floral fragrance was far too dense, making one’s head swim with discomfort.

She sighed, looking down at the Omega before her. The girl was clearly reaching her limit, her body unconsciously leaned into Jiu Yi’s, her flushed face pressed tightly against her as if seeking some kind of antidote, softening Jiu Yi’s heart a little.

“Very uncomfortable?” Jiu Yi asked her, deliberately placing her thumb near the corner of the girl’s lips, as if tempting her to bite.

Leng Xuelang was already too overwhelmed by the pheromones to think straight. Added to the fact that the drug she had been given tonight was exceptionally potent, it was a miracle she had held out until now.

Hearing Jiu Yi’s words through her hazy consciousness, she merely lifted her head to look at her. She stopped struggling and followed her body’s instinct, gently biting down on Jiu Yi’s fingertip, refusing to let her pull away.

Her bite wasn’t hard, in fact, it felt more like a tease, gradually stoking the embers of desire and eliciting base thoughts that shouldn’t be there.

Especially given Leng Xuelang’s current state of total compliance, it heavily triggered a desire to push boundaries.

Jiu Yi let out a soft sigh, pressing her finger an inch deeper to touch the Omega’s soft interior. It sent a tremor through Leng Xuelang’s entire body, and Jiu Yi’s gaze darkened by several degrees.

Leng Xuelang looked up at her, her eyes seeming to shift colors slightly, vibrant and ominous. Her lips were vividly red, like they had been stained with deep rouge, inviting one to taste them, nearly causing Jiu Yi to lose control.

However, at the critical moment, the slight expression of pain on Leng Xuelang’s face snapped her mind back to reality. She slowly withdrew her hand, but the Omega, seemingly unaware of the danger, let her tongue trace Jiu Yi’s fingertip, trying to keep her from leaving.

“Do you want me to mark you that badly?” Jiu Yi leaned down, tilting her chin up. The moisture carrying the scent of her pheromones was smeared across her chin, creating a scene that was taboo and intensely sensual.

By now, Leng Xuelang was completely ruled by the drug and her pheromones, devoid of any independent thoughts. She only saw the Alpha’s crimson lips right in front of her and couldn’t let her leave.

She reached out to wrap her arms around Jiu Yi’s shoulders, pulling her face closer so it would be easier to kiss her.

Jiu Yi stopped her slightly frantic movements and bargained with her. “Shall we move to the bed?”

Leng Xuelang dazed for a moment before seemingly registering the words. While keeping her eyes on Jiu Yi, she walked toward the bed and even began to strip off her clothes.

Jiu Yi: ?

[System]: Ah, ah, ah, ah! Host, where else are you going to find such an obedient Omega?! Are you really not going to take her?!

“I recall that in the original plot, when she was almost harassed by another Alpha, the male lead hadn’t even said anything yet she threw a tantrum wanting to die to preserve her honor?”

[System]: What are you trying to say, Host?

“I’m thinking that if I recklessly mark her right now, will I turn into a cold corpse tomorrow morning?”

[System]: …It’s not that terrifying.

“In short, it is impossible for me to mark her at this stage.”

[System]: Then why did you tell her to get on the bed? And just now… what was with you playing with her tongue? I never expected you to be this kind of Host!

“That was obviously to numb her senses so the subsequent treatment would yield better results.”

[System]: ?

Jiu Yi ignored the System after giving her piece. She grabbed what she needed, climbed onto the bed, and lay down beside Leng Xuelang. Holding her hands to stop her from removing any more clothes, she pulled her into her embrace, pulled out a financial statement, and began reading it out loud to her, explaining exactly what each data point meant.

Leng Xuelang had never expected her to be this relentless. She kept shaking her head, absolutely refusing to listen, but Jiu Yi continued to chant the financial figures without a shred of emotion. Row after row, it was truly an unyielding torture.

One would have thought Leng Xuelang would definitely lose her mind, but after some time passed, she miraculously calmed down. Although her pheromones were still drifting everywhere and entirely tangling around Jiu Yi, they were much tamer than before.

In the end, she quietly curled up in Jiu Yi’s embrace and fell asleep. The corners of her eyes were still pitifully red, even bearing a trace of tears.

However, her body temperature had finally dropped, and her scent gland was no longer as swollen. She looked considerably better.

[System]: …Wow.

Who would have thought a financial statement could actually serve as an antidote?

Jiu Yi didn’t leave immediately after coaxing her to sleep. She waited until the girl was sound asleep before getting out of bed, planning to watch over her for the night.

[System]: Host, aren’t you going to sleep on the bed?

“If she wakes up tomorrow morning thinking I did something to her and tries to hack me to death, what then?”

[System]: …

It looks like the Host values her life very much now.

Jiu Yi couldn’t sleep anyway. Being continuously teased by Leng Xuelang’s pheromones and still being able to sleep would require a superhuman level of discipline.

She didn’t mind it though. Sensing that there were major discrepancies in these financial statements, she sat in her wheelchair and began reviewing the reports.

She ended up reviewing them all the way until the next morning.

When Leng Xuelang opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Jiu Yi. The Alpha was sitting by the window with a report in hand. Seeing her open her eyes, Jiu Yi flashed a breathtakingly beautiful smile.

“Morning. Awake? How did you sleep last night? It’s time to hand over that 3,000 words analysis report you owe me from last night.”

Leng Xuelang: ?
