The Aloof Beta Transmigrated as the Pretty Wife [Transmigration] - Chapter 20

At that moment, Su Ren heard the high-pitched, childish voice of the system shrieking in his head, “Ahhh! You absolutely cannot do that! Damaging your gland is way too dangerous! And what about the mission? What do you plan to do about the mission?”

Enduring the waves of dizziness and shortness of breath, Su Ren pressed down on the gland at the back of his neck while looking into the mirror, his expression remaining indifferent.

“None of the missions we’ve encountered so far have explicitly directed us to have sex.”

As soon as Su Ren finished speaking, Song Di saw a mental “notebook” (or perhaps a grudge-list) surface in Su Ren’s mind:

Missions (Mine/Xie’s)

1. Kiss / Make him cry

2. Kiss the leg / “Female Rivalry” (Competition for favor)

3. to 5. (Unknown)

4. Clarify cheating / (Unknown)

5. Spend the Susceptibility Period together / (Unknown)

P.S. Kissing is currently the highest level of intimacy known. In my missions 6 and 7, there are no indications of physical contact, but Xie Chouqiu’s missions 6 and 7 are currently unknown, so physical contact cannot be ruled out.

Based on the current 60 chapters of the novel (which is unfinished), if we filter out the flirting and profanity to find the underlying plot, it can be roughly divided into three stages:

1. Chapters 1-20: Purely physical stage, loose plot, focused primarily on sexual themes and power dynamics.

2. Chapters 21-40: Introduction of interpersonal conflicts, plot shifts toward emotional angst.

3. Chapters 41-60: Pregnancy, miscarriage, plot collapse, the story becomes so absurd it borders on criminal.

Therefore, given the background of the first stage, if the missions do not force a sexual encounter now, the probability of it occurring in later missions actually decreases.

Song Di was utterly shocked because Su Ren had guessed it perfectly.

To be honest, Song Di had served all kinds of “transmigrators,” and aside from being the most beautiful, Su Ren didn’t seem particularly special at first.

A frail Beta body looked like it would be easy to manage.

Song Di’s experience wasn’t shallow either, she had even served people who jumped from being an “Alpha Emperor with a harem” to an “Omega in a submissive role,” but even they followed the system’s rules. Who else acted like Su Ren?!

He kept a little notebook, he acted out of character yesterday, and today he was cutting his own gland. If she let Su Ren keep acting up like this, forget about meeting her performance targets, Song Di was going to get fired!

“I’m warning you, don’t try to be clever!” Song Di screamed in panic. “Put the knife down! This system isn’t what you think it is…”

But a flash of cold determination crossed Su Ren’s obsidian eyes.

The next moment, Su Ren’s hand fell.

The sharp tip of the knife carefully traced the edge of the gland on the back of his neck, carving a shallow arc that looked almost exactly like the depth of a puncture wound from a canine tooth.

Su Ren coldly tossed the knife aside and looked at his pale reflection in the mirror. He then pulled a sealed syringe from his pocket.

He used his teeth to tear open the plastic packaging. His beautiful features trembled like a spring pond rippled by a breeze. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and slowly pushed the needle into the sliced skin.

What was this?

Song Di was stunned.

She thought Su Ren was going to gouge the gland out, but she didn’t expect… Su Ren was actually this smart?

“You… you’re actually simulating the marking process by injecting synthetic Alpha pheromones?!”

As an Omega who has already been marked, if they are forcibly marked by someone other than their partner, it does indeed cause temporary functional damage! However, unlike having the gland removed, it wasn’t completely irreversible.

Su Ren ignored Song Di. He pulled the needle out with clinical efficiency and let out a soft groan. His quiet, beautiful face contorted in pain, and his indifferent eyes could no longer withstand the bone-deep agony, welling up with clear tears.

Su Ren pressed a piece of gauze against the back of his neck and slid slowly down the wall, seemingly wanting to rest for a moment.

However, the warehouse door was suddenly slammed open!

The way the door was thrown open clearly belonged to “the type” of person Su Ren hated most.

The bright light from the hallway spilled into the dust-filled warehouse, illuminating a single path.

A heavy scent of Angelica, mixed with the thick, artificial musk of the pheromones, spread from the room. The two scents were intertwined, with only a hint of lime in the middle notes.

With a dark expression, Xie Chouqiu stepped out of the light and into the darkness.

He saw Su Ren huddled in the corner by a mirror, trembling slightly.

He was truly beautiful.

But that refined, lovely face was clearly stained with tears.

There was blood on his hands and a bandage on his neck.

Xie Chouqiu stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down at the curled-up Su Ren. His heart felt as though it had stopped beating, and for a moment, his eyes cleared.

Su Ren.

Su Ren…

Just like the Xie Mudong of the past.

Except now, the person lying on the floor was Su Ren.

Xie Chouqiu leaned over expressionlessly, lowering his gaze to get close to the back of Su Ren’s neck, and took a breath.

The fresh, soft nape, invaded by the overbearing musk, gave off a warm, inviting fragrance.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

Just then, the weak, huddling figure finally looked up. Su Ren’s pale, beautiful face was covered in a cold sweat. He tried to use the wall to stand up but accidentally slipped back down.

The piercing heartache made Xie Chouqiu’s misty blue eyes seem even clearer.

“Su Ren,” Xie Chouqiu called his name softly.

Su Ren’s reaction time had slowed significantly, but after a few seconds, he still responded, lifting that beautiful face.

“What is it?”

In the next heartbeat, Xie Chouqiu leaned down and pulled Su Ren gently into his arms. Su Ren froze, having no time to stop him before Xie Chouqiu pulled back the gauze.

He licked the wound that wouldn’t stop bleeding.

The pheromones, instantly acting as a sedative, were incredibly soothing, feeling like a gentle embrace. It left Su Ren stunned and completely limp in Xie Chouqiu’s arms.

“Don’t,” Su Ren knit his brows, pushing lightly against Xie Chouqiu’s chest.

“Don’t what?”

“Don’t lick it.”

Xie Chouqiu’s gaze was cold, yet it carried a trace of a smile. “I can’t let you have your way this time. My apologies.”
