Chapter 63: Volume 1 Chapter 63 Violent Alphax Gentle Beauty Omega (3)
Jiang Zhi was dazzled by his looks, she averted her gaze from his deep blue, drowning eyes, slightly curved her eyes, and, overwhelmed by such a handsome compliment, she spoke somewhat unnaturally:
"Thank you."
Rong Qingzhou's aura resembled early spring sunshine; he sat beside her, his deep black and gold patterned robes were tinged with a faint light that draped down.
"I'm like you, a freshman of the same year; I'm Rong Qingzhou. May I know your name?"
The silver-haired prince was approachable, his attitude natural and casual.
He easily eased Jiang Zhi's inner nervousness; her gaze was drawn to his slightly long silver hair, she blinked curiously and softly said, "My name is Jiang Zhi."
In the empire, most people have pure black hair, a very small portion have brown hair, and some like to dye their hair in unusual colors at barbershops.
She had never seen hair as pure silver-white as his before.
Rong Qingzhou noticed her gaze, his gentle brows and eyes grew a bit downcast, and he asked, "Do you also think I look like a monster?"
"A monster? Why a monster." Jiang Zhi shook her head in panic and helplessness; perhaps because she was too eager to explain, her words were incoherent.
"How could I be like a monster? I'm clearly handsome, like, like a legendary elf."
In Norse mythology, the beautiful elves with silver hair and long ears are symbols of beauty and divinity.
Rong Qingzhou paused for a second, then suddenly burst out laughing.
His laughter drew the attention of several nearby people.
Among them were some high-ranking officials' children who recognized him.
"An Alpha looking better than an Omega is really effeminate."
"You see him hitting on a beta, look how low he's fallen. Indeed, no Omega would be interested in him. The aberrant-haired prince, a monster."
Their conversation was naturally overheard by nearby AOs, who all glanced at Rong Qingzhou with strange looks.
By then most people had reached the finish line, including Jing Cang, who instantly spotted the girl chatting with someone.
Sitting beside her was the empire's Seventh Prince, Rong Qingzhou, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In everyone's eyes she was merely a beta, yet anyone who saw her couldn't help but be drawn to her.
Jing Cang lifted his stern gaze, sweeping over the girl's snow-white complexion like white jade, her bright smile, and her lustrous dark eyes flecked with light.
A dark desire welled up from within him, endless and inexplicable.
——He wanted her.
Before, only warfare could excite Jing Cang; for any Omega daring to approach him, no matter how alluring their pheromones, smelling them only aroused his violent urge to kill.
But she was different.
That day at the opening ceremony, he had just vented the killing urge accumulated from the planetary battlefield, on the verge of exploding, and went to the restroom to smoke to suppress the aftereffects.
He hadn't expected to encounter her.
The entire restroom was filled with her alluring pheromones, causing people to succumb and go mad; any Alpha present would turn into a ravenous beast, wanting to devour and possess her.
Unlike the Omega pheromones Jing Cang usually smelled, hers was like the world's deadliest poison, the poppies on the banks of hell, a bewitching spirit that lures one into the abyss.
Merely a trace of that pheromone lingering in the air made him unable to restrain himself.
Yet she was unaware of it.
"An A-rank aberration has appeared!! Evacuate the freshmen to safety immediately!"
An urgent voice came through the earpiece; at that moment the ground shook violently, a terrifying aura spread across the sky and earth, and some lower-level freshmen couldn't bear it and fainted.
A rift tore open in the sky above them, like space being ripped apart, revealing a darkness as deep as an abyss.
Upon seeing the rift, the freshmen scattered and fled.
Jiang Zhi and Rong Qingzhou were separated by several fleeing freshmen, plus the ground tremors and crowd chaos; their distance gradually grew, and they could no longer tell direction.
Jiang Zhi lifted her head and saw the beast's ferocious scarlet eyes hidden in the rift; they turned, stopped in her direction, and stared at her gloomily.
It was an A-rank aberration with considerable intelligence, having arrived here via spatial transfer.
When Jiang Zhi felt its gaze upon her, her heart clenched.
How could it single her out among so many people?
777: "The original host has a jinxed constitution."
Jiang Zhi: "."
The aberration burst out of the rift, revealing its true form—like the alien from the movies, hideous enough to make one nauseous.
It leapt onto the ground; the flat terrain shook violently like an earthquake, and Jiang Zhi nearly got thrown off.
Seeing the aberration about to come over and devour her whole, Jiang Zhi turned pale, froze in place, and forgot to flee.
Before the massive aberration could even show off its might for long, a black-clad figure turned into a fleeting shadow and tore it apart with one hand, as easily as ripping space.
The aberration's blood fell like rain, dripping onto the ground, while the black-clad person standing before her lifted his hat brim, revealing a head of midnight-black short hair and a tall, slender silhouette.
The blood was blocked by a protective barrier; upon seeing the youth before her, Jiang Zhi's fair cheeks flushed slightly, and her clear eyes were dotted with stars.
"Senior—" the girl said, but upon seeing the black-clad youth's face clearly, her words abruptly halted.
Obviously she hadn't expected the team's senior to be the youth who smoked in the restroom.
Jing Cang raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice lax and low: "Don't you remember me?"
At their first meeting, the youth's aura was cold, harsh, and dangerous, making people feel uneasy and reluctant to approach.
But now he had become slightly 'kind,' yet his aura still exuded extreme malice.
Jiang Zhi felt a little afraid of him, and after seeing him just now tear apart the giant aberration, her face turned white with fright, and she nodded repeatedly: "I remember, I remember."
The aberration's blood, like a blood rain, fell completely from above; the protective barrier vanished, and a strong bloody smell quickly spread.
Jing Cang smelled the blood; a flicker of pleasure crossed his dark eyes, his fierce brows softened slightly, and he lowered his gaze onto the girl's pale face.
"I saved you twice."
Jiang Zhi stared for two seconds before realizing which two times he meant.
Toilet once, now once.
Her fingers unconsciously clenched, she began to stammer, and she whispered softly, "Mm, thank you."
How could Jing Cang possibly let her go easily? He stepped closer, almost touching her snow-white earlobe, his tone light and slow:
"Just thanks? Won't you repay me?"
Hot, humid breath sprayed her earlobe; Jiang Zhi's shoulders twitched, she flusteredly stepped back a few paces, her stark black-and-white eyes seemed drenched, a cool breeze brushed the black hair at her temples, adding a hint of pity.
"How, how should I repay?"
Jing Cang gazed at her for a long time, his Adam's apple rolling slightly; finally, under her increasingly nervous stare, the words he wanted to say turned over in his teeth.
"Treat me to two meals."
Jiang Zhi heard that, relaxed, the corners of her eyes slightly lifted, she smiled and said, "Sure."
Jing Cang's gaze lingered on her smile.
His heart boiled with relentless desire, hotter than slaughter, wanting to watch her eyes tear, wanting to press her into his embrace and ravage her fiercely.
Reason ultimately prevailed.
——Take it slow, can't scare her.
