Xiao Feng

The omega, shocked, tried to get up, but just as he made a move, the barbed knot scraped against him, causing him to shudder and cry out involuntarily.

“Ah—!”

At such time, he absolutely couldn’t move. Reacting instinctively, Huo Xianfeng grabbed Jiang Ci’s shoulders and firmly pressed him down, and his breath suddenly became quick.

“Don’t move… don’t move…”

“Uh……”

At this moment, almost both their muscles were trembling, and it took a long time for them to recover. Jiang Ci was on the brink of collapse, tightly gripping the covers and his knuckles were white. With a slightly trembling nasal tone, he asked,

“How much… longer?”

Huo Xianfeng’s Adam’s apple rolled as he took a couple of breaths before answering,

“About… about five minutes.”

“……..”

Jiang Ci didn’t understand how the Zerg mated, but now he was powerless, so he could only stiffen his body and wait for the last five minutes to pass. The other’s presence was very strong, so much so that he could clearly feel him still being stuck there and how his reproductive opening trembled, unable to close itself. So he had to rely on other things to distract himself, like Huo Xianfeng’s earlier mention of being unable to perceive pheromones.

But how could someone be unable to perceive pheromones?!

Oh, right, Huo Xianfeng didn’t exactly count as a human.

“…….”

This… This is just plain cheating!!!!

Ever since Jiang Ci met Huo Xianfeng, he had been driven crazy by the other’s pheromones, unable to extricate himself. Just enduring them every day consumed a great deal of his energy.

But normally, after a temporary mark, an omega would indeed become dependent on the alpha. However, the one who should be driven crazy was the alpha; they were the ones who should be infatuated with the omega.

But Huo Xianfeng didn’t.

——Not at all.

Jiang Ci had always thought that Huo Xianfeng had exceptional self-control, always being able to remain unaffected by his pheromones. Jiang Ci even began to doubt his own pheromones.

Could it be that his pheromones weren’t attractive enough to Huo Xianfeng?

But recalling that time on Winter Day Planet when he was surrounded by alphas and the dire situation he faced, Jiang Ci realized it wasn’t his problem. Maybe it was Huo Xianfeng who was just too strong.

The truth was—

The truth was!!!!

The truth was this guy couldn’t perceive pheromones at all!!!!

No wonder the other was so unaffected by his pheromones during his heat, even calmly plotting their navigation course.

To put it bluntly, wasn’t this like winking at a blind person?!!!!

So unfair!

 So unfair!!!

Jiang Ci was almost furious to point of imploding, but the intense emotional changes caused his muscles to contract uncontrollably, making the presence down there even more pronounced.

This caused Huo Xianfeng to suddenly gasp. Pressing close to Jiang Ci’s ear, he asked:

“What’s this? Want another round?”

“……..”

The omega instantly froze, even trying hard to relax the muscles there.

Damn it! 

This… how could he possibly want to go again????

If he could move right now, Jiang Ci would definitely punch Huo Xianfeng in the face. However, he still found it incredibly unbelievable that Huo Xianfeng couldn’t perceive pheromones, so he couldn’t help but confirm it again—

“You really… really can’t perceive pheromones?”

“—Yeah.”

Huo Xianfeng didn’t think there was anything to hide.

Or rather, ever since he realized he liked Jiang Ci, he would answer any question the other asked.

“When I woke up on Earth, I thought I was human. When I found out I couldn’t perceive pheromones, I even considered seeing a male Alpha specialist. But Winter Day Planet didn’t have good conditions, no professional doctors, and I had no money, so I never went.”

Jiang Ci: “………..”

Male… male Alpha specialist?

Generally speaking, pheromones were linked to sex. When an alpha can’t perceive pheromones, it might indicate a problem in that area, some defect, or inability.

Jiang Ci was first shocked by Huo Xianfeng’s inability to perceive pheromones, then by the male Alpha specialist talk. Finally, he was speechless. He didn’t know what to say at this moment.

Utterly shameless!!!

Just as Jiang Ci was at a loss for how to respond, he suddenly heard Huo Xianfeng laughing softly by his ear—

Jiang Ci almost instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Huo Xianfeng’s words. It meant that this guy was perfectly fine, with no physical problems. Jiang Ci really wanted to retort, but found he had no grounds to do so in this matter.

“Then how… how do you have the appearance of a human… and an alpha’s pheromones?”

Jiang Ci’s impression of this name was still that of a hero from children’s bedtime stories.

He could finally turn over, but he still didn’t have much strength and could only lean weakly against Huo Xianfeng’s chest to rest. The flush from his heat had not completely faded, making his skin particularly soft and beautifully pink, covered with various vivid marks. Huo Xianfeng glanced down and his eyes darkened, but he eventually pulled the quilt over Jiang Ci, covering him up.

Huo Xianfeng glanced up, and the next second, the Forbidden Abyss silently extended a mechanical tentacle, presenting a large military water bottle.

Jiang Ci held it and took small sips. His eyes were half-closed, and his eyelashes were still a bit wet. But his mood gradually brightened because he felt extremely comfortable at this moment, very, very comfortable.

Huo Xianfeng’s fingers slid through the omega’s beautiful silver hair, slowly combing it. Omegas right after their heat were like this, satiated, tired, and docile, much like a cat lazily basking in the sun after a meal.

This should have been absolutely impossible for the Zerg’s royal family.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to admit, Huo Xianfeng still told Jiang Ci about the moment he took over Forbidden Abyss and received Huo Chao’s last message left with his final bit of mental power.

He had to admit, this nickname was really embarrassing.

So, this indicated that their relationship might have been quite good in the past.

At least, when Huo Chao looked at him, he expressed a sense of closeness.

Jiang Ci, who was lazily lying on Huo Xianfeng’s chest, felt extremely sleepy, but upon hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Huo Xianfeng.

“…….Xiao Feng?”

In any case, he couldn’t associate the alpha in front of him with the nickname “Xiao Feng” at all.

But upon thinking about it, he felt like it was kind of…

——Cute.

However, this was not the main point, and Huo Xianfeng quickly moved past the topic.

“My awakening on Earth wasn’t an accident; it was probably orchestrated by Huo Chao. Ye Shu’s presence on Winter Day Planet and the Forbidden Abyss’ wreckage were also his arrangements. The Forbidden Abyss’ wreckage contained many Zerg eggs, which later hatched into larvae. However, the resources on Winter Day Planet were insufficient, making it difficult for them to survive the molting period and grow into adult Zergs….”

“Do you remember when Ye Shu escaped from the First Legion? Actually, I helped him a bit. At that time, we made a deal…”

——This meant that Huo Chao’s plans had begun three hundred years ago.

It’s possible that even Huo Xianfeng himself was one of the conspirators.

“However, my memory hasn’t fully returned, so the specific details are still…”

Huo Xianfeng suddenly paused mid-sentence——

…because Jiang Ci had already fallen asleep.

He was still holding the water bottle and biting the straw, but in that posture, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

The soft flesh on his cheek was slightly puffed up, like a child.

Very, very cute.

“……..”

Huo Xianfeng stared at him for a few seconds, and it felt like a part of his heart had melted and collapsed.

So, he carefully took away the water bottle and then embraced the omega, closing his eyes.

——Let’s sleep.

They didn’t have much time to rest well, after all.

Perhaps because he had seen Huo Chao when he accepted the Forbidden Abyss, Huo Xianfeng remembered many things that night.

His memories were no longer chaotic and fragmented…

But from the very beginning——

The Zerg King Cub hatched inside a cultivation tank, and at the moment it hatched, a sharp metal needle pierced its hindbrain.

After a royal Zerg is born, they have some inherited memories from their ancestors.

——This is an instinct.

Just like how a newborn baby instinctively knows how to suckle milk.

He knew his identity and his situation. He felt anger, pain, hatred, but was powerless.

The Zerg King Cub stayed in the cold cultivation tank for so long that it lost its sense of time, but it kept trying to connect to the Zergs’ spiritual network.

However, due to the lack of brain fluid and it being too weak, coupled with the presence of a shielding device, all the calls it sent out were like stones sinking into the sea.

Until one day,

a human child broke in.

——It was Huo Chao.

A seven-year-old Huo Chao.

The black-haired young man curiously lay in front of the cultivation tank, full of anticipation,

[Is it you?]

Such eyes were like those of a larva looking at its King, full of admiration, longing, and a desire for closeness.

[——Are you the one looking for me?]
