The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 14
That’s Not Dislike
Walking through the piercing cold wind, Wei Jiangxue arrived at the SKY Mall, leaning on her blind cane. She took off her windproof coat, draped it over her arm, and casually caught a passerby to ask for the direction of the elevators. She went straight to the top floor of the mall.
System 233 had recently become obsessed with games, so Wei Jiangxue wanted to do as much as she could on her own for things within her power.
As a blind person, those flashy clothing stores weren’t exactly a great place for her to spend money. The mere thought of buying a bunch of things she couldn’t even see made Wei Jiangxue feel like she was losing her mind.
So, she shifted her target. Since she had to play the role of a cannon fodder who spent money without restraint, she decided to satisfy the “eating” aspect of “eating, drinking, and playing” first.
However, Wei Jiangxue soon discovered that such a small mall couldn’t satisfy her role-playing needs at all—the prices were too low. She passed many shops, entering each one to browse and buy.
After filling her stomach and checking the bill, she realized she hadn’t actually spent much money.
Biting her straw, Wei Jiangxue knew she had to change her strategy. As expected, she still had to visit the clothing stores on the other floors.
As for the luxury brands the mall had invited to set up shop, Wei Jiangxue didn’t plan to broaden her horizons there for the time being. She was afraid her face would contort in shock upon hearing the prices.
She simply pulled her phone out of her pocket and asked the voice assistant to call Mi Ruian, who answered almost instantly.
“Mi Ruian, what are you doing?”
On the other end of the line, Mi Ruian replied, “Is the big streamer bored of playing outside? Me? I’m researching what kind of makeup and styling to do for you the day after tomorrow.”
“Stop that for a moment. Come to the SKY Mall; I want to buy clothes, and I need you to help pick what suits me.” Wei Jiangxue didn’t want her researching the styling for the day after tomorrow anymore. Right now, it was more important to have Mi Ruian help look at the effects of various clothes. This way, she wouldn’t have to fumble around and dress haphazardly when she went out later.
Thinking it wasn’t very fair to call Mi Ruian out for field work on such short notice, she added at the end, “I’ll give you an extra bonus.”
“Boss Xue is so generous. You really do need to properly adjust your private wardrobe style.” Having nothing else to do, Mi Ruian readily agreed.
After Mi Ruian agreed, Wei Jiangxue hung up the phone.
Since she couldn’t think of anywhere else to go for the moment, she found an electric massage chair and lay down, scanning the code to let it knead her back and waist.
Streaming required sitting for long periods, and Wei Jiangxue felt like her waist and buttocks were practically going numb.
Her head felt exceptionally drowsy, but Wei Jiangxue didn’t want to fall asleep. So, she listlessly picked at her palm while waiting for Mi Ruian.
A faint vibration came from the mall’s fresh air system, yet Wei Jiangxue felt as if it had failed; the air grew increasingly heavy, and a sense of irritability rose in her heart.
However, she soon realized there was an abnormal situation in the mall.
An extremely dense scent of camphor leaves spread through the mall, reaching the top floor where Wei Jiangxue was at lightning speed.
Screams and the sound of running erupted, and the mall’s broadcast issued a warning: “An anomaly has occurred on the third floor. Security is rushing to the scene. Tourists, please proceed quickly to open areas to avoid—”
Although she had no prior contact with it—only the characteristic descriptions narrated by 233—Wei Jiangxue still reacted quickly. This was an Alpha pheromone, and this Alpha was currently in a state of loss of control.
One must know that Alphas and Omegas wear suppression wristbands or pheromone blocking patches when they go out. The ABO Association does not allow the pheromones of an A or O to be directly exposed in public environments. Firstly, because the scents are strong and affect the lives of passersby.
Secondly, the pheromones of an A or O can induce pheromone riots in other Alphas or Omegas.
Just like now, Wei Jiangxue could feel the Alpha gland at the back of her neck throbbing with a slight pain, seemingly very dissatisfied with the rampaging stranger’s Alpha pheromones outside.
Within Wei Jiangxue’s body, it felt as if something was desperately trying to come out.
System 233: Take off the suppression wristband now. Follow your heart and release your pheromones; they can protect you from other Alpha pheromones.
The appearance of 233 was like a timely rain. Wei Jiangxue followed the instructions.
A faint fragrance quietly wafted out, quickly wrapping around Wei Jiangxue’s body like a tide, forming a protective shield. If Wei Jiangxue hadn’t known when to stop, the scent of Freesia probably would have spread further, as if it wanted to fill the entire mall.
Sure enough, after the Freesia scent drove away the camphor tree smell, Wei Jiangxue felt much better.
“What exactly happened? Did an Alpha lose control in public?”
Wei Jiangxue couldn’t see, but she had her more sensitive sense of smell as a guide. She pursed her lips and walked toward the area where the camphor scent was most concentrated.
“You said before that my level is higher than other Alphas, so I can suppress all the unimportant background characters, right? In this situation, is there anything I can do?”
233 originally wanted to tell her to stay away—it was best for a blind person not to join the commotion.
But its perspective shifted, and it saw that the Alpha on the third floor showing signs of a riot was chasing an Omega. The Alpha looked frenzied, having clearly lost all reason…
The security team had only just finished assembling. By the time they arrived, the Omega might have already run out of strength.
Only Wei Jiangxue, who was near the elevator on the fourth floor, could help that Omega.
System 233: Don’t worry. Be careful not to trip. Take the elevator to the third floor. I will guide you to find that Alpha. Don’t suppress your pheromones; release them boldly. That Alpha is trying to catch an Omega to mark her. You don’t need to do anything; just find that Alpha, and your pheromones will naturally suppress the other party.
Hearing this, Wei Jiangxue’s brow furrowed. When the elevator reached the third floor, she cast aside her blind cane, and her pace quickened: “I’ll run over. As long as you don’t give the wrong directions, I won’t fall.”
System 233: …Alright.
The cooperation between the person and the system was surprisingly smooth, allowing Wei Jiangxue to stumble her way to the center of the densest camphor pheromones.
Wei Jiangxue heard two heavy, rapid breaths besides her own.
Presumably, by the time Wei Jiangxue arrived, the Omega had exhausted her strength and collapsed on the ground. As for the Alpha, seeing the prey slow down, they also slowed, cautiously approaching.
The Omega was slumped on the ground, lacking even the strength to stand. Crying, she backed away, sobbing softly: “Don’t come over…”
The Alpha who had lost their mind ignored her, forcefully sniffing the sweet strawberry pheromones in the air, licking their lips, and continuing to approach the Omega.
Without stopping, Wei Jiangxue ran toward the Omega’s direction. At the same time, using the method described by System 233, she condensed the Freesia scent into a net and pressed it toward the out-of-control Alpha—
“Wake up! Stop approaching her!” Wei Jiangxue shouted sternly.
The Alpha, suppressed by the higher-level Freesia pheromones, tried to resist, making a guttural sound. Wei Jiangxue had to release more pheromones to make them unable to move.
Following the scent of strawberries, Wei Jiangxue reached out to the crying Omega: “Don’t be afraid. She won’t pose a threat to you anymore.”
Mist-blue hair fell, carrying the clear, quiet fragrance of Freesia. Her voice was pleasant to the ear, possessing a strange, soothing effect.
The Omega stared blankly at this Alpha who had suddenly appeared: “Thank you for saving me…”
As if she had found someone to rely on, she burst into loud wails: “My… my legs are weak… I’m so scared…”
To seek a sense of security, the Omega tightly gripped Wei Jiangxue’s arm and wouldn’t let go.
The sweet scent of strawberries easily lingered on Wei Jiangxue. Wei Jiangxue frowned and internally asked 233 to shield her body from the influence of the AB pheromones.
A hand with slender fingers suddenly reached out from the side, with an indisputable force, and pulled Wei Jiangxue away from the Omega.
Wei Jiangxue turned her head in bewilderment, unable to immediately determine who it was until the person spoke: “You’ve really made me look for you, Boss.”
Mi Ruian’s voice was colder than usual, as if she were angry.
But who could Mi Ruian be angry at? Because she hadn’t met her at the agreed-upon location?
After Wei Jiangxue recognized her identity, her whole body relaxed, as she guessed the origin of the other party’s inexplicable outward emotion: “Oh, it’s you.”
Mi Ruian’s gaze was sharp, sweeping over Wei Jiangxue as well as the Alpha and Omega present. She couldn’t help but frown, her voice dripping with sarcasm: “If it wasn’t me, who else were you hoping for?”
Several types of pheromones were mixed together at the scene—Alpha, Omega… it disgusted Mi Ruian.
Especially since the other Alpha present was still in an out-of-control state, with pheromones leaking everywhere. In this situation, if she hadn’t discovered Wei Jiangxue had come here, Mi Ruian really wouldn’t have bothered.
When Mi Ruian turned around and her eyes fell on the slightly dazed Wei Jiangxue, a strange sense of discord suddenly seized her.
On Wei Jiangxue’s body, besides her own clear, elegant Freesia scent, there was also the cloyingly sweet strawberry scent of that Omega mixed in. This scent of someone else made Mi Ruian feel an immediate, heartfelt disgust.
Her temples throbbed with pain, and her eyes never left Wei Jiangxue. Her whole body felt like it was bristling with thorns, resisting the interference of external pheromones.
But that familiar Freesia pheromone belonging to Wei Jiangxue crashed into Mi Ruian’s surroundings like a sturdy foundation, firmly anchoring itself in the center of the chaotic scents. Not only did it not become foul because of the mixing, but it also seemed to purify the surrounding air, making even that cloying sweetness seem less nauseating.
This realization made Mi Ruian freeze in place.
She realized that, from the very beginning, Wei Jiangxue’s pheromones had been “different” to her. Unfamiliar, but by no means unbearable. She had once crudely categorized the subtle, strange emotions that rose in her heart every time she got close as “dislike.”
But now, when Wei Jiangxue’s body was clearly tainted with “another person’s” scent, that “difference” she had always ignored suddenly became clear and sharp.
That wasn’t dislike.
It was an “absence of repulsion” reserved for her alone.
A strange, almost violent emotion surged into her heart without warning—she could not tolerate another person’s scent being left on Wei Jiangxue. Even if it was just an accident, it wasn’t okay.
With a cold face, the force with which she pulled Wei Jiangxue’s wrist unconsciously tightened, her voice tense:
“Do you think you’re so capable? You dare to interfere in any kind of trouble.”
Her tone carried a resentment that Mi Ruian herself hadn’t realized was bordering on crossing the line.
