Chapter Index

    Yu An felt the tip of the knife hovering at his neck.

    He gently closed his eyes.

    Xie Jinsheng watched as this Omega, usually as timid as a rabbit, didn’t dodge this time, as if willing to bear all his revenge and anger.

    “If you want to… you can.”

    The Omega paused, and perhaps it was just his imagination, but his eyelashes seemed to be much wetter. When he spoke again, there seemed to be a hint of extremely light pain hidden in his voice, “If you want to kill me, there’s no way for me to avoid it.”

    How could a weak, occasionally a bit of a silly, ability-less Omega survive in the face of a powerful tentacled monster?

    Xie Jinsheng paused in a daze.

    Indeed, if it hadn’t been for that one word “wife” that had stopped his emotional yet suspicious self in his tracks, Yu An would have certainly died.

    And several times, he hadn’t cared for Yu An at all.

    Like their first meeting in the Ruined City, when there were so many infected around, and he only wanted to leave.

    If the young man hadn’t clung to his tentacle in a desperate attempt to survive,

    that fragile body would have been torn to shreds by the infected long ago.

    And later, in the valley, when Yu An wanted to go back to being just brothers, he, because he couldn’t believe that he could have feelings for a human, had parted ways with Yu An.

    Leaving such an ability-less little Omega alone to go to a town full of mercenary Alphas…

    At the time, he had thought it was nothing out of the ordinary, but now it had all turned into pain after the stirring of emotions.

    He held the scimitar, unable to strike for a long time.

    The Omega seemed to have misunderstood his intentions, probably remembering his words in the valley when he had forced him to get close to the scimitar. So this time, he trembled and leaned closer to the blade on his own.

    Xie Jinsheng came back to his senses, instinctively afraid of hurting him.

    But he didn’t realize that Yu An was pressing so close.

    When the blade wavered.

    A faint cry of pain came from the Omega.

    Xie Jinsheng’s movements froze, and with a crisp sound, he threw the scimitar on the ground, immediately picking up the little Omega who was clutching his neck to check him over.

    He saw that a very faint blood mark had been scratched on Yu An’s fair neck.

    Luckily, he had stopped quickly enough.

    The panic that had surged in Xie Jinsheng’s heart at that moment only subsided after seeing that he was alright.

    It was strange.

    He had suffered more serious injuries before, but Xie Jinsheng had never cared about them.

    But at this moment, just seeing the slight frown on the young man’s face because of the pain, he felt like he had lost his soul, his heart aching as if it had been crushed.

    It actually hurt even more than when he had just found out he had been deceived.

    Xie Jinsheng laughed, and a tear slipped from his dark eyes.

    Before this, he had always thought that he had no emotions, no tears, until he met the young man in front of him.

    He realized that even a monster, when in extreme pain, could still cry.

    And every time he was sad, it was because of Yu An.

    Being deceived but still rushing to care for the deceiver.

    Would he be able to find a second one as foolish as him, even if he searched the entire world?

    After a long while, Yu An finally opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the scimitar on the ground. He was slightly stunned, and then he understood that Xie Jinsheng would never, ever try to kill him like he had before.

    He breathed a small sigh of relief.

    He opened his mouth and said, “Now that you know everything, can you let me go? I can make a deal with you. For example, I can find a way to help you recover your memories from before.”

    In short.

    He couldn’t be locked in his nest forever, becoming a delicate flower in a greenhouse, never stepping outside.

    He still had a mission to complete, to uncover the truth of this apocalyptic world, and to return to the Space-Time Bureau to find the dean who had killed his family…

    Who knew that the next second—

    “Who said I was going to let you go?”

    After the man finished speaking, his lower body directly mutated in front of him.

    Instantly, countless dark, slick tentacles surged out, covering the surroundings like a black tide.

    System 089: 【Holy crap!】

    He can even transform.

    These days, you can’t trust monster men!

    Yu An suddenly had a bad premonition and wanted to escape, but as soon as he moved, a slender ankle was firmlychánrào by a slippery tentacle!

    The tall tentacled monster Alpha had completely enveloped him from behind.

    As the hot, humid breath brushed past his ear, Yu An’s body trembled, and he heard the man’s hoarse, crazed voice—

    “It’s okay that you deceived me. So, from now on, you will completely become my wife.”

    These words were bone-chilling.

    Yu An’s eyes widened.

    His intuition told him that something terrible was about to happen, and he instinctively wanted to escape.

    But as soon as he jumped off the hammock, before he could take more than two or three steps, his slender waist was hooked by an extremely strong tentacle.

    Yu An looked down.

    He discovered it was the one with the red mole.

    “An An, didn’t you always want to know what this most special tentacle is used for?”

    Xie Jinsheng’s dark eyes were red, as if they were about to drip blood, and he easily picked up the little Omega who was trying to escape, holding him in one arm, and threw him back onto the hammock.

    “—I can tell you the answer now.”

    Yu An hadn’t even reacted yet.

    He had already fallen back into the blanket.

    Immediately afterward, his chin was pinched.

    The man kissed him roughly as a punishment.

    Yu An wanted to struggle, but he couldn’t move at all. The hands that wanted to push him away were also held.

    Then, the Alpha forcefully forced his fingers between his, forcing them to intertwine.

    Not only that, but his collar was torn open with a ripping sound.

    Yu An’s pupils trembled.

    The air was filled with a heavy, violent sandalwood scent, instantly making him realize the Alpha’s intentions.

    —He was planning to force himself on him.

    Yu An instinctively wanted to call for the system, but there was no response.

    He knew that 089 had beenbìngbì by the health monitoring system.

    And he had just used his exclusive weapon, which consumed soul energy, in thejíhán deep abyss, and his body hadn’t recovered yet.

    No one could save him now.

    “…”

    Xie Jinsheng felt the little Omega in his arms, probably realizing the disparity in strength at the moment, suddenly stop struggling.

    Then, tears fell onto his face.

    They were Yu An’s tears.

    His kiss gradually slowed down.

    He saw the young man, whose shoulders were exposed after his collar was torn open, cowering all over.

    This delicate Omega, having just gone through alínbiāo estrus, was desperately weak. In front of a grown, strong tentacled monster Alpha, he was clearly unable to protect himself.

    In the intense struggle just now, the long pants at the young man’s knees had accidentally been torn, creating a small opening.

    Revealing skin as white and soft as the moon.

    The fingerprint where he gripped tightly.

    Was almost turning purplish-blue.

    Extremely ungentle…

    The weak little Omega slightly parted his legs, closed his eyelids, the corners of his eyes wet, looking like he wasrěnzhe the pain of being treated roughly.

    Seeing this scene, Xie Jinsheng felt like his heart was breaking.

    Clearly, the person in front of him was just a little liar.

    And…

    An unqualified liar.

    After lying halfway, his conscience condemned him to the point of actively confessing, he didn’t deserve pity at all, but—

    He still couldn’t help but want toténg’ài cherish him.
