Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Boss of the Disabled Heroine - Chapter 71
The concentration of Omega pheromones in the air had reached an unimaginable level.
The rose-scented pheromones erupted in full force, and only then did Pei Yujiang realize just how potent an Omega’s scent could be. Unlike the aggressive dominance of an Alpha, the Omega’s fragrance coiled around her like supple silk, diffusing through the air and quickly saturating the entire room.
The Omega nestled in her arms, and Pei Yujiang finally understood what those novelistic descriptors, “a waist so slender it could be held in one hand,” “a willow-like softness”, truly felt like in reality.
A woman’s skin was naturally smooth and delicate, but a female Omega’s was like satin, impossibly soft. Pressed tightly against her, Pei Yujiang could feel her heartbeat spiraling out of control.
She was still nervous, but this tension was entirely different from before. The aphrodisiac incense burned relentlessly, its thick aroma intertwining with the Omega’s pheromones. This was clearly a trap set for an Omega, even if Pei Yujiang wasn’t an Alpha, Yu Zhiwan would have been driven to throw herself at her regardless.
When Pei Yujiang loosened the restraints, she could see the deep and shallow red marks on Yu Zhiwan’s wrists traces left from desperate struggle.
Her eyes stung, an indescribable ache spreading through her chest. But before she could dwell on it, she was abruptly pushed onto the bed by the Omega.
“Zhi—”
Her words were swallowed before they could leave her lips as the woman’s soft mouth met hers no longer the accidental, fleeting brushes of before, but a full-on invasion.
The Omega pinned her down effortlessly, hands braced against the headboard, surrendering herself to the touch. The sheer sensuality of the scene robbed Pei Yujiang of any coherent thought.
Her breathing grew ragged, matching Yu Zhiwan’s rhythm. Lost in the haze, she finally remembered to reclaim control yet still unwilling to hurt the Omega, she didn’t flip them over.
Pei Yujiang forced a separation, but within seconds, her slender fingers brushed aside the sweat-dampened strands of the Omega’s hair, tucking them behind her ear before leaning in again.
This time was different. She restrained Yu Zhiwan’s delicate wrists with just enough pressure, tilting her head to savor the taste, her movements still clumsy despite their prior encounters. The Omega gasped beneath her, too breathless to complain.
Yu Zhiwan pressed her forehead against Pei Yujiang’s equally sweat-slicked one, pulling away just enough to murmur against her shoulder,
“Do you even know what you’re doing?”
Her voice was liquid soft, her fair neck and cheeks flushed crimson, the teasing lilt in her words syrupy and indulgent.
When Pei Yujiang kissed her, Yu Zhiwan toyed with her chin like petting a cat or dog, fingers tracing the elegant line of her jaw. Pei Yujiang’s bone structure wasn’t sharp her chin was small, soft to the touch. The Omega suddenly hooked a finger under it, tilting her face up. Their lips collided again, swallowing the muffled laughter between them.
The air was thick not just with pheromones but also the slick, wet sounds of their mingled breaths.
As her interest gradually piqued, Pei Yujiang realized she couldn’t afford to lose control here. Summoning her willpower, she forcefully stomped out the scented candle.
The Omega, still unsatisfied, let out a soft hiss as Pei Yujiang pressed and kneaded her scent gland, then collapsed weakly into her arms.
At this moment, Pei Yujiang’s mind was also clouded by excitement. Only her stubborn instinct for danger kept her from sinking deeper, though she failed to notice the unusual state of Yu Zhiwan’s body.
Scooping the woman up in her arms, she rose from the creaking bed, steadying her breath. When her gaze fell on Liu Huanran lying on the floor, a glimmer of clarity returned to her eyes.
After a brief pause, Pei Yujiang spoke:
“She…”
“She tried to take advantage of me, but she failed.”
Yu Zhiwan cut her off before she could finish.
Though she knew Pei Yujiang wasn’t the type to mind such things, she didn’t hold those outdated, objectifying views of Omegas, Yu Zhiwan still didn’t want her to misunderstand just how much Liu Huanran had tried to impose on her. The thought alone was revolting.
Still reeling from what had just happened, the Omega clung to Pei Yujiang’s neck, her voice trembling with lingering fear and resentment as she described how viciously Liu Huanran had treated her.
“She wasn’t alone she brought someone else. They wanted to light this incense, mark me, film something indecent, and then make sure you saw it, dragging you down with me. But then they had a falling out and started fighting. Those bruises on Liu Huanran? They’re from that male Alpha.”
Generally, male Alphas were stronger than female ones. Pei Yujiang glanced at Liu Huanran and saw the dark bruises covering her body clearly the result of a beating.
Without hesitation, PeiYujiang strode over and delivered another sharp kick, eliciting a weak groan from Liu Huanran.
“Yu-Jiang.”
As Pei Yujiang turned to leave, Yu Zhiwan called out to stop her. The Omega nestled her fluffy head against Pei Yujiang’s shoulder, her tone soft but unmistakably urging:
“I think I heard water when we came in. Is there water nearby? Let’s throw her in.”
Yu Zhiwan would have preferred to do it herself, but Liu Huanran was over 1.7 meters tall. As an Omega, even with the strength of an average adult woman, her legs were still in recovery. That earlier kick had already strained them, and any more exertion might have made her pass out halfway through.
Left with no choice, she could only coax Pei Yujiang into doing it.
But Pei Yujiang wasn’t so easily swayed. Frowning, not out of suspicion toward Yu Zhiwan but out of wariness for potential traps, her sharp phoenix eyes narrowed, her expression shifting back to full alertness:
“What about the other person with her?”
“He ran off after beating her up. I destroyed the surveillance footage, it’s fine.”
The lingering scent in the air was hard to ignore. Yu Zhiwan’s face was flushed, suppressing a cough as she pulled the shattered remains of a tiny surveillance device from her pocket.
Pei Yujiang hesitated.
The proper course of action was to report this and let Liu Huanran face justice. But without actual harm done, she’d likely only serve a few years in prison hardly enough punishment.
“And she was also into drugs,” Yu Zhiwan sighed inwardly upon noticing Pei Yujiang’s hesitation, promptly showing a nervous expression, her voice filled with lingering fear. “Look at the needle marks on her wrist, there are several, right? She even tried to inject me, to make me join her.”
“Thank goodness you arrived in time…”
The Omega’s voice trembled with a sob, her shaking body clearly radiating terror.
Yu Zhiwan was genuinely afraid.
Afraid that she might accidentally play too rough and kill Liu Huanran.
What if she did? Murder was indeed a crime, punishable by imprisonment. Though Yu Zhiwan didn’t consider herself a saint, she still wanted to remain a law-abiding citizen in these stable times at least keeping her record clean, free from any blemishes.
The drug Liu Huanran had taken was designed for both oral and injection use. From the way her eyes were bloodshot and her wild demeanor, Yu Zhiwan could tell, this woman was high.
But Liu Huanran probably wasn’t foolish enough to willingly get hooked. Drug addiction was notoriously hard to kick, and users would gradually sink into hallucinations, wasting away until they became mere shadows of themselves.
This toxin was likely administered by those people ruthless, with no regard for consequences. Liu Huanran had no powerful backing, so even if she ended up dead, no one would dig too deep.
Yu Zhiwan had given her a specially formulated anesthetic, non-lethal, difficult to detect, and most importantly, it rendered the victim mute. Brutal methods like cutting out tongues were the work of Organization A. She was too timid and too fastidious for such crude violence.
Besides, she had chosen injection sites carefully places she could easily access. She had practiced those pressure points and skin locations hundreds of times, ensuring precision, speed, and absolute cleanliness. There would be no mistakes.
The Omega’s pitiful tone stirred a surge of anger in Pei Yujiang.
Confirming no one was around, Pei Yujiang placed Yu Zhiwan on a large rock within sight before rushing back to the scene. She first took photos and recorded evidence, then picked up the candle before dragging Liu Huanran away.
She recognized this place the factory she had first arrived at after crossing over. Half a year ago, Liu Huanran, in a bid to win Yu Zhiwan’s “trust” and make the Omega feel valued, had arrogantly tied her up in one of its abandoned lofts.
Old grudges and new vengeance merged. Following the sound of running water, Pei Yujiangfound a drainage ditch. The faintly foul-smelling wastewater carved a shallow trench through the mud. She crouched, sniffed, and confirmed the earthy stench before unhesitatingly tossing Liu Huanran in.
“Ah!”
The pain of her head striking a small rock jolted Liu Huanran awake. Though her blood still burned, her body was now submerged in the cold sludge, the chill rapidly spreading through her limbs.
The earlier impact had been brutal, disorienting her completely. But the numbness in her mouth and the warning signals from her body told her something was terribly wrong.
Her vision remained pitch black, plunging her into utter panic.
Had she gone blind?
Could anyone save her?
Liu Huanran wanted to speak, but her tongue was numb, rendering her utterly speechless. The vast abandoned factory echoed only with the murmur of running water, punctuated by the hoarse barks of stray dogs in the distance. Belated fear gripped her as she regretted kidnapping Yu Zhiwan and bringing her to this godforsaken place.
The woman thrashed desperately in the water.
The road ahead was rough, so Pei Yujiang didn’t use autopilot. Listening to the occasional soft moans from the Omega in the backseat, she felt her cheeks grow warm.
Passing by a 24-hour adult shop still lit in the dead of night, Pei Yujiang pulled over, locked the car, and approached the self-service counter to buy two recently dated suppressants.
The shelves were lined with an array of products she had never bothered to browse before. But today, she lingered, discovering all sorts of intriguing novelties, lipstick-shaped toys, heart-tipped magic wands, an unopened maid outfit with cat ears, even a mini electric fan and an ice cube maker whose purposes eluded her.
Pei Yujiang’s face burned.
She scolded herself for entertaining such strange thoughts, but the moment she closed her eyes to banish them, the Omega’s tender gaze surfaced in her mind.
Standing outside now, cooled by the warm summer night breeze, her head cleared slightly. Leaning against the vending machine, her chest rising and falling with each breath, she recalled her earlier odd behavior.
Yu Zhiwan’s pheromones were indeed intoxicating, a rose fragrance she adored, one that could ensnare even an Alpha.
But why, as a Beta, was she so drawn to them?
Could she still harbor some residual Alpha instincts? No, that was impossible. Pei Yujiang touched the smooth nape of her neck, reassured that such anomalies couldn’t occur. Betas had no pheromones and couldn’t mark Omegas, a fact that brought her some relief.
Lost in thought, she reached the shop’s entrance before gritting her teeth and turning back to purchase the magic wand. As she scanned the payment code, her eyes darted nervously around.
General Pei, the once-invincible Alpha of the apocalypse, now reduced to a furtive Beta buying such frivolities the irony made her flush even harder.
Realizing her hands might be dirty from touching the shelves, she pulled out a wet wipe, meticulously cleaning every crevice between her fingers. Her joints were fair and unblemished, slender and elegant hands suited for plucking strings rather than wielding weapons, no longer calloused from battle.
Pei Yujiang didn’t return home. Concerned about Yu Zhiwan’s condition, she decided to take her back first.
The Omega’s exposed skin glowed pink, like a ripe peach waiting to be plucked soft, flushed, and undeniably alluring. Yu Zhiwan could barely walk, leaning heavily on her, her body pliant and weak.
Having weathered several of the Omega’s heats together, Pei Yujiang prided herself on mastering the essentials. Even as her blood simmered, she wrestled with her restraint while soothing Yu Zhiwan, cradling her close.
Pei Yujiang repeated her earlier trick of stroking the Omega’s scent gland, but the moment her fingers made contact, the Omega trembled in her arms, a tremor that seemed to reverberate through her own nerves as well.
Suppressing the strange sensations in her body, she lowered her head to hold the Omega tighter, simultaneously restraining Yu Zhiwan to prevent her from squirming:
“Let me give you an inhibitor shot.”
Yu Zhiwan shook her head: “No.”
“Then I’ll get you some water? Would you like iced orange juice or blackcurrant juice? What about those grapes we bought last time? Let me check, I remember you put them in the fridge.”
Her mouth dry, Pei Yujiang released Yu Zhiwan and began rummaging through the refrigerator in Yu’s home. A bunch of plump, emerald-green grapes caught her eye large and juicy, perfect for quenching thirst, and sweet too.
Treating them like treasure, she washed the grapes thoroughly, peeled one, and popped it into Yu Zhiwan’s mouth.
“So sweet.”
The Omega murmured with half-lidded eyes.
Though complimenting the grape’s sweetness, she kept Pei’s fingertip in her mouth, licking off the grape juice. The chilled fruit should have cooled her down, but Pei’s mind was in turmoil. She popped one into her own mouth and forced a chuckle:
“Really?”
The moment she bit down, juice burst forth, and Pei immediately regretted it.
These were premium Shine Muscat grapes, their fragrance carrying distinct rose notes. Currently, the last thing Pei wanted to hear was the word “rose,” yet the floral aftertaste lingered on her palate, vividly recalling the sensation of their passionate kiss.
“Yu-jiang,” Yu Zhiwan called her name again, “Are you hot?”
“I’m not, I mean, yes, I’ll turn on the AC.”
“But I already turned it on when we came in.”
The Omega’s voice drifted softly from behind. Pei froze with an “Ah?”, belatedly processing the implications of those words.
Yu Zhiwan’s home had two AC remotes one voice-controlled, the other manual. The manual one required complicated temperature and humidity adjustments, while the voice model only needed a simple command. Yu usually preferred the convenience of voice control, but Pei hadn’t heard her use it today, only now realizing the AC had been on all along.
Suddenly, Pei remembered her earlier description of Liu Huanran. Her heart pounded wildly, joy momentarily overriding her physical discomfort as her voice lifted excitedly:
“Your vision returned!?”
Unlike Liu Huanran’s sarcastic tone, Pei’s delight was genuine. She’d often lamented why Yu Zhiwan couldn’t see the world, so hearing about her recovered vision now felt sweeter than honey.
“Come back here then,” Yu Zhiwan patted the sofa beside her, “I’ll tell you how it happened.”
Pei returned obediently, but the moment she sat down, Yu Zhiwan wrapped arms around her neck and bit down again.
“Mmph!”
Between nibbles, the Omega murmured against her skin:
“You were so skilled before, a natural. What happened to that talent, hmm?”
This Omega clearly had no idea what she was saying. Pei had restrained herself repeatedly, but she was no saint, nor was she frigid. She refused to tolerate such repeated provocations.
Pei Yujiang flipped over and pinned her down, restraining Yu Zhiwan’s hands, forcing her to surrender before covering the woman’s lips. With the experience from their previous encounters, she had grown more adept this time, quickly engaging in a passionate kiss with Yu Zhiwan. She could smell the pheromones but couldn’t mark the Omega, which only heightened her excitement under such stimulation.
Yu Zhiwan wasn’t the type of Omega who was shy or preferred lying still like a pillow princess, letting the other take control. Instead, she pressed Pei Yujiang’s neck down slightly, adjusting for a more comfortable angle to prevent strain.
Pei Yujiang kissed fiercely, over and over, then alternated between kisses and bites nipping at her neck, collarbone, and even her scent gland. Unable to mark her, she playfully gnawed like a teething puppy, half in jest, half in retaliation.
Only when Yu Zhiwan’s breathing grew increasingly erratic did Pei Yujiang realize she might be taking advantage of the situation and hastily pulled back.
Propping herself up on the couch, Pei Yujiang flushed with embarrassment, her ears burning as she buried her face against Yu Zhiwan’s stomach to catch her breath. Moments later, she lifted her head, her eyes brighter than ever.
Licking her lips, blood rushing to her head, Pei Yujiang found all the convoluted advice from that relationship expert utterly useless now. None of that “blame it on the moon” nonsense mattered in the face of genuine feelings. She cut straight to the point:
“Zhiwan, do you like me?”
Yu Zhiwan, still catching her breath, huffed in annoyance. After a brief pause, worried Pei Yujiang might still be too dense to grasp the obvious lest she be tempted to kick her into Yi Lake again, she cupped Pei Yujiang’s chin and mirrored her earlier actions, kissing and biting before asking:
“Would I do this with someone I don’t like?”
Pei Yujiang’s face visibly reddened further.
“I like you too,” she murmured happily, nuzzling Yu Zhiwan’s forehead. But soon, glancing at their current position, she grew shy again. “B-but I’m not ready yet.”
Seeing her serious expression, Yu Zhiwan had braced for something important, only to be left torn between laughter and exasperation.
How was it that this former Alpha had become even shyer than an Omega after turning into a Beta?
Yu Zhiwan didn’t know Pei Yujiang had been just as innocent as an Alpha, but she could guess and it was exactly this side of her that she adored.
Since she wasn’t in heat, she didn’t need to cling to Pei Yujiang. Collecting herself, she settled into the spare wheelchair at home and waved dismissively.
“Then I’ll go shower.”
Pei Yujiang eagerly adjusted the water temperature for her. Pushing the door open, she hesitated before finally making up her mind. She pulled out an unopened “magic wand” from her pocket and pressed it into Yu Zhiwan’s hand, wearing an expression of grim determination as she lowered her gaze.
“Since I can’t be with you right now, let this keep you company instead.”
With that, she shut the door firmly, hiding her burning cheeks and ears from view. Her heart pounded wildly, but she didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she pressed her ear against the door, straining to hear Yu Zhiwan’s reaction.
Perhaps the soundproofing was too good she couldn’t even catch the rustle of packaging.
Pei Yujiang grew anxious. What if Yu Zhiwan thought she was being too forward? But she’d only bought that thing out of concern that Yu Zhiwan might struggle alone…
Finally, after a moment, the Omega’s voice came through.
“Pei Yujiang, can I consider you my girlfriend now?”
After a brief pause, Yu Zhiwan received a gentle, drawn-out “Mm-hmm” from outside.
“Then if you can’t stay with me, will you at least listen from outside?” Pressing close to the bathroom door, Yu Zhiwan curled her lips into a mischievous smile, mimicking the other’s drawn-out tone with a rising inflection at the end. “Mmm?”
Pei Yujiang: You once strolled with me by Wing Lake, with the gentle breeze and romantic atmosphere. What were your thoughts at that time?
Yu Zhiwan: When will she finally get a clue? I want to hurry up and heal my legs so I can kick her into Wing Lake to wash that blockhead brain of hers.
Once Fish Sauce (Yu Zhiwan) has her realization, the progress will skyrocket like a rollercoaster, Boom! But we have to give the pure love warrior a little time to prepare!
