When A Commoner Carries The Child Of A Stranger Alpha - Chapter 11

This sudden voice diverted the attention of Arbiter No. 60. Shen Buqi temporarily relaxed, but his palms were still covered in cold sweat.

Looking at the familiar figure, Ji Weishi also breathed a sigh of relief.

If they had arrived even a second later, he would have resorted to a large scale mental energy attack.

A mental energy attack was already an immense drain on the body, and a large scale attack was even more extreme, it was practically using mental energy as a nuclear weapon, causing severe physical toll.

The newcomer was none other than the subordinate he had just contacted. Qi Qiushui, an S-rank Arbiter.

There were many S-rank Arbiters, but not all of them were Protectors.

Qi Qiushui was an S-rank Arbiter directly under Ji Weishi’s command and possessed exceptionally high authority. However, the Federation had strict regulations stating that Arbiters from one district could not interfere in the affairs of another.

The only reason Qi Qiushui appeared here today was to search for any trace of Ji Weishi.

Speaking of which, it was truly a stroke of luck. Looking at Ji Weishi standing next to the A-rank Arbiter, Qi Qiushui’s heart finally settled.

Over the past two days, he had rushed from District 7 to District 5, then from District 5 to District 1, and only arrived in District 2 tonight. The moment he entered District 2, he received Ji Weishi’s mental signal.

Without stopping for a single breath, he rushed to the agreed upon location, only to hear that something had happened at the museum. Knowing his leader’s “if I don’t court death I’ll die” personality, he rushed over here without a moment’s delay.

Sure enough, he had arrived just in time.

First, he revealed his identity to the local Arbiters. Although he could not manage the affairs of District 2, the level suppression was absolute, allowing him to make direct demands of the A-rank Arbiters.

He then explained that these two were his people and that he was taking them back to District 4. No. 60 and No. 98 hesitated for a moment but, constrained by Alliance rules, ultimately let Shen Buqi and Ji Weishi go.

The sudden turn of events was bewildering. Shen Buqi did not know Qi Qiushui. Looking at this masked man, his heart remained full of wariness.

Ji Weishi nudged his pinky finger, leaned in, and murmured, “Xiao Yi, this is a friend of mine, don’t worry.”

Shen Buqi nodded, but he still didn’t completely let his guard down.

Having dealt with the messy situation, Qi Qiushui felt exhausted to his core. He wanted to say something, but met his leader’s warning glare.

In his mind, he silently lit a candle for the breathtakingly beautiful Beta next to his leader. This poor guy, could he be some kind of savior to the leader?

If he had saved any of the other Protectors from the other districts, Qi Qiushui would have offered envious and jealous congratulations. But saving his own leader… Qi Qiushui was willing to burn some incense for this poor stranger.

Unaware of his thoughts, Shen Buqi felt his heart freeze a little in the tense silence:

Will A-Shi leave with this person?

He definitely will, right? After all, this person looks very powerful and can protect A-Shi much better than he can.

But… he couldn’t say a single word. In the end, only regret remained. If he had known, he would have just fought earlier, so A-Shi would know that he could protect him too.

That way… A-Shi wouldn’t leave with someone else.

His heart ached, and his expression turned listless and dispirited.

Ji Weishi thought he was tired, so he traced circles in the palm of Shen Buqi’s hand with his fingertips, trying to cheer him up a bit.

How strange. In just one day, though he couldn’t call it love for this Beta yet, the atmosphere of tender affection between them had grown even stronger.

Beside them, Qi Qiushui had no idea about his leader’s twisted, wicked thoughts. He could only lament in his heart. This Beta is too pitiful, caught by the leader in just a single day.

Shen Buqi knew even less; how could he possibly understand what kind of creature his Alpha really was?

He was just still a bit sad.

He thought to himself that it would probably be quite difficult to ever find someone as good as A-Shi again if he tried to pick up another person.

But it was fine. At least Mimi could come along to live in the manor now, and he could plant some real roses there.

With that thought, his sadness faded slightly.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he expected. Just as he had accepted the outcome of Ji Weishi leaving, Qi Qiushui dropped them off at a manor and departed.

This manor was even larger and more luxurious than the new one he had bought. It had high white walls and fences, a three story villa, and an endless garden.

Shen Buqi felt even more defeated. Roses really need to be raised in a place like this to bloom beautifully.

Ji Weishi glanced over the ragged place and gave a soft “tsk” in his mind. The places they find are getting worse and worse. I don’t know what an S-rank is even good for.

Having walked far away, how could Qi Qiushui not know his leader’s picky nature? To put it bluntly, it was just a princess syndrome, he disdained everything as rotten and broken. In his eyes, there was nothing good in this world!

That was why he ran away immediately after delivering them, just to avoid being blamed.

Not knowing the origin of the house, Shen Buqi asked, “A-Shi, what is this?”

Ji Weishi smiled softly, “It’s that friend’s house. We can temporarily stay here while we are in District 2.”

A friend’s?

Could there really be such a good friend?

He bit his lip, his indifferent face showing a rare trace of bashfulness. “Then will he… will he take you home?”

Home?

Unlike Shen Buqi, Ji Weishi was no blank slate when it came to human relationships. He saw through Shen Buqi’s internal conflict at a glance, and his smile grew even more brilliant.

“No, he doesn’t have time to protect me. Only Xiao Yi can protect me well, right?”

Shen Buqi nodded hurriedly, as if a moment’s delay would compromise his sincerity.

Both of them obtained the answers they wanted in this house.

After washing up, they went into the room to rest.

It was still the same bed, but Ji Weishi slept much more comfortably that night.

A night of good sleep.

After resting for two days, Ji Weishi pestered Shen Buqi every day, asking about this and that, and Shen Buqi answered every question carefully.

Having figured out Shen Buqi’s physical condition, Ji Weishi’s attitude became even more peculiar.

He would act spoiled and shamelessly demand to touch the back of Shen Buqi’s neck. Once he confirmed that there was indeed no gland there, something quietly shifted within his heart.

Consequently, his attitude toward the scent that could soothe his susceptibility period also underwent a silent transformation. Since there was no secondary gender, perhaps his ancestors had developed some unique trait during evolution that differed from ordinary people.

This wasn’t impossible. After all, the evolution of ABO genders started from an accidental mutation. Because this change helped humans adapt to the environment, it was gradually preserved.

Shen Buqi maintained his gentle, submissive attitude, accommodating Ji Weishi no matter what he did.

The leisure time spent resting at the manor passed quickly. By the time Gao Haoyang called, the two were on a swing.

Shen Buqi hadn’t wanted to play at first, but Ji Weishi’s eyes were like traffic lights, they turned red at the slightest provocation.

Helpless, he complied and sat down, letting Ji Weishi push him back and forth.

This swing was unique; it wasn’t in the first floor garden but built on the top-floor terrace instead. The terrace was covered with replicated irises. As the swing flew up, it stirred up waves in the purple sea of flowers.

After the apocalypse, many species had vanished. The ones seen in the later expanded districts were all varieties replicated through genetic engineering.

When the swing reached its highest point, Shen Buqi could see the flowing traffic, the bright artificial sky, and endless buildings.

But when the swing fell, he turned his head, and his eyes were filled entirely with Ji Weishi and the sea of purple flowers behind him.

The world was so beautiful. Shen Buqi had never liked this world more than he did at this moment.

When they finished playing, Ji Weishi leaned down to carry him off the swing, blowing a moist breeze past his ear: “A phone call is coming through, Xiao Yi.”

The sensation was ticklish, perhaps even more unsettling than having his ear licked directly. Shen Buqi turned his head to dodge slightly and took the call:

“Hello.”

Gao Haoyang’s voice came through the phone. “Xiao Shen, when do you plan to leave? We’ve basically wrapped everything up here. If nothing’s wrong, let’s head back together.”

Faced with a choice, Shen Buqi instinctively looked at Ji Weishi, only responding with an agreement after receiving his nod.

Ji Weishi naturally preferred staying here. First, because it was more comfortable, and second, because there were only the two of them here, which gave him a strange sense of psychological satisfaction.

But now was clearly not the time. Qi Qiushui had just informed him that the explosion in District 2 that night was the work of District 1’s Arbiters.

Qin Che was Qin Miao’s son. Without his consent, how would District 1 dare to make a move on District 2?

Without even thinking, it must be that the interests of these two had clashed with Wen Jiayu and several others.

Now everything made sense. Presumably, when Qin Che looked for him, the so-called “giving an opportunity” was also an attempt to pull some people to his side.

However, it was unknown why he changed his mind later.

There were likely still hidden details that hadn’t been uncovered yet.

On the other side, after Shen Buqi agreed, Gao Haoyang and the others, who had already packed their things, immediately boarded their mecha and headed toward their location based on the coordinates.

When Chen Zixuan saw the coordinates, she let out a cry of admiration. “Wow, they went to the Core Zone to play! I haven’t even been there yet…”

She was still blaming her sister and brother-in-law for bringing her back too early. As a child who hadn’t suffered any harm, she was still thinking about playing in District 2 for a few more days.

But as soon as that explosion occurred in the museum, how could Chen Zijie and Gao Haoyang dare to go out? They forced her to stay in the hotel for two full days before they dared to go home.

Arriving at the destination, Chen Zixuan saw the two of them. All the warnings and instructions from her sister and brother-in-law along the way instantly went out the window. She ran over happily and called out affectionately.

“Brother Xiao Shen, did you guys have fun?”

Shen Buqi froze for a moment, a tinge of red creeping onto his earlobes.

Fortunately, he was used to keeping a cold face, so no one actually noticed.

Except for Ji Weishi.

Ji Weishi smiled slightly and wrapped an arm around Shen Buqi’s shoulder with extreme familiarity, as if he had done it thousands of times, answering on his behalf. “It was alright, but something happened here and all the roads were blocked, so we couldn’t get out.”

Hearing this from behind, Chen Zijie hurriedly chimed in, “We were the same. We were blocked before we even reached the Core Zone.”

Gao Haoyang sighed, “I wonder when this Protector of District 2 will be back. Things are in such a mess. I saw in the reports that there wasn’t even a single S-rank Arbiter at the scene.”

He was considered someone who had seen the world and knew that in other districts, the higher an Arbiter’s rank, the more matters they could handle. For an incident this severe, it would take at least an S-rank Arbiter to sort it out.

Ji Weishi sneered coldly in his heart:

Could there even be an S-rank Arbiter?

So many of them died when they tried to assassinate him, and the remaining ones had all been sent to find his corpse. Right now, aside from Wen Jiayu, Qin Miao probably didn’t have a single obedient dog left by her side.
