Chapter 64: Volume 1 Chapter 64  Violent Alpha x Gentle Soft Beauty Omega (4)

"Jiang classmate." Rong Qingzhou hurried over, worried and flustered, asking: "Are you okay?"

The male student arrived late, somewhat disheveled, with a few bloodstains on his uniform.

Jiang Zhi turned her head, shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine, it was the senior who saved me."

The senior the girl spoke of wore all-black athletic gear, standing with his back to her sideways, and Rong Qingzhou still recognized him.

After a moment's stunned silence, Rong Qingzhou politely greeted: "Thank you, Senior Jing, for your help."

The young man had a noble bearing, raised since childhood in the imperial palace, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, and he gave a slight bow.

Jing Cang lazily lifted his eyelids, glanced at him nonchalantly, and let out a low, scornful laugh.

"When did I ever save you?"

His words were harsh, without mercy.

Rong Qingzhou, oblivious, wore a warm, refined expression and gave a slight nod.

"Senior Jing saved my friend, so I naturally ought to thank him."

"Friend?" Jing Cang pressed his tongue against his upper jaw, a bone-chilling chill spread from the corner of his eyes, killing intent flared, and his long fingers idly rubbed the blood-stained blade at his waist.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Zhi spoke up blankly: "We should leave."

The trial had ended, the strange beast just dealt with, and leaving late would mean being detained for questioning.

Jing Cang glanced at the girl, then lowered his eyes, slipped his hands into his pockets, flickered, and vanished before them.

Once the person left, Rong Qingzhou's face tightened slightly, and he asked her: "Do you know him?"

Jiang Zhi looked confused, her eyes clear and bright like the afterglow of sunset, and said: "Um, he saved me before, but I don't even know his name."

Rong Qingzhou let out a light sigh, his tone serious: "His name is Jing Cang, a prominent figure at the school."

"Omegas who once approached him had their glands removed and fed to the exotic beasts he keeps at home."

"No one dares approach him; he's a terrifying person. Jiang classmate, don't get too involved with him."

An Omega's glands are located at the nape of the neck, the physiological organ of an O; during heat, pheromones are released from there, requiring an Alpha's mark. Marks come in two types: temporary and permanent.

Jiang Zhi's mother, to conceal her Omega gender, fed her a drug that could temporarily turn an Omega into a beta, reducing her response to Alpha pheromones and masking the pheromones on her body so others couldn't smell them.

Jiang Zhi's face turned pale, making her lips look blood-red, she lightly bit them, trembling with fear.

"You, how do you know?"

"To rip out an Omega's glands with bare hands—is that something a person would do? It's too terrifying."

Rong Qingzhou was very pleased with her performance; beneath the gentleness hidden in his eyes lay deep malice.

"I've never told you, but I'm actually the seventh prince of the imperial royal family, and I learned all this from high-level information."

Jiang Zhi was greatly startled; although her gender was well concealed and everyone thought she was a beta, she knew full well she was an Omega.

As her heat approached, she could easily be exposed.

But she had just promised the young man to treat him to a meal—was she going to go back on her word?

No.

Life is more important.

Jiang Zhi thanked Rong Qingzhou, left the trial grounds, and returned to the school dormitory.

The trial is over; tomorrow is the evaluation.

As she lay in bed preparing to sleep, the phone placed beside her rang.

She remembered she had forgotten to turn off do-not-disturb, rubbed her sleepy eyes, picked up the phone, and saw the message displayed on the screen.

【111XX&*%: Meet me at the school gate tomorrow at 12:30 PM.】

A strange text message, sending nonsensical words.

The bewildered Jiang Zhi pondered a moment, then replied with a message.

【May I ask who you are?】

【111XX&*%: Your benefactor.】

Jiang Zhi stared blankly at the screen, then belatedly realized who it was, and her mind suddenly cleared.

It's Jing Cang!

It's that Jing Cang who ripped out an Omega's glands with his bare hands!

The pale light from the phone screen illuminated the girl's pure cheeks; she raised her slender white finger and trembled as she tapped the screen.

——Add to blacklist.

After doing so, she exhaled in relief, now having no further connection with him.

After setting do-not-disturb, Jiang Zhi put down her phone, immediately lay down, hugged her soft blanket, closed her eyes, and entered a sweet dream.

Meanwhile.

Jing Cang, who had never received a reply, grew colder in his gaze, unable to restrain himself, and sent her another message.

【Your message was not sent.】

He sent another.

【Your message was not sent.】

Jing Cang: "."

Now it's certain.

The girl directly blacklisted him.

Outside the window, the moon was pallid, its light pouring through the floor-to-ceiling window onto the handsome, peerless face of the black-haired youth, his brow furrowed sharply, his deep, gloomy eyes icy enough to shock.

A viscous, venomous tone, like a poisonous snake, seeped out from between his clenched teeth.

"Jiang Zhi!"

——

This night, Jiang Zhi slept very comfortably; perhaps because the daytime exercise was too much, as soon as she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, she fell asleep.

After waiting for the evaluation results, they need to go to the evaluation classroom to report.

Jiang Zhi was the first beta to reach the finish line; her score was good, an A+, so she is in the A-level classroom.

Before this, they need to form groups on their own. Afterwards, all matters concerning credit classification scores are tied to missions. Group members are not distinguished by year or rank. However, they must share danger with the highest-ranked member in their group.

So most freshmen prefer to group with people of the same rank to avoid danger.

Jiang Zhi left the evaluation classroom holding the group list; each group has no more than ten and no fewer than two members.

The Imperial Military Academy is not so easy to just scrape by for a diploma; one must earn enough credits to graduate.

This period requires five years.

Jiang Zhi lost in thought, completely failed to notice a person walking toward her, who stopped in front of her.

Thud

She hit a chest harder than a wall; her vision went black, her head spun, she stumbled back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

She smelled a familiar, fresh smoke at the tip of her nose; her throat felt itchy, and she involuntarily started coughing.

The black-haired youth ignored her resistance, grabbed her wrist in one grip, and strode away.

Jiang Zhi couldn't keep up with his pace, her breath not yet settled, several times she almost bumped into his back and fell.

Until they reached the school's back courtyard abandoned storage room, she was pressed against the cold door; the light was dim, and she could barely see the youth's eyes, filled with unrestrained ferocity, spreading toward her.

In the cramped storage room, strands of cold seeped into her fair skin's pores, making her shudder.

"Why did you block me?"

Each word spoken with a pause, he suppressed a dangerous anger with a gloomy demeanor.
