Chapter 72: Volume 1 Chapter 72 Violent Alpha x Gentle Omega (12)

Jiang Zhi, who had returned to the dormitory, received a message from Rong Qingzhou as soon as she came out of the bathroom.

【Rong Qingzhou: Jiang Zhi, what's wrong?】

【Rong Qingzhou: Have you gone back? I haven't seen you.】

【Rong Qingzhou: Seeing this message, can you let me know you're safe? I'm very worried about you.】

Jiang Zhi glanced at it, replied with 'Nothing, I'm back in the dorm,' then turned off her phone and lay down.

An Omega's heat cycles are becoming more frequent; after reaching adulthood, they will inevitably begin.

Therefore, after an Omega's heat begins, they will undergo pheromone matching; once the match exceeds 30%, they can make contact and then marry.

In the Empire, the proportion of Omegas has eased somewhat compared to before; it is not as scarce as it used to be.

Even so, Omegas are still regarded as national treasures by the Empire.

The next morning.

She felt the aftereffects of suppressing her heat—fatigue and weakness; though her body had already changed into a Beta, there was now a possibility of pheromone leakage.

This wasn't even the worst news; before she could even have breakfast, she received a message from the Imperial Family.

She was granted in marriage by the King to the Second Prince, Rong Mingcheng.

This news not only shocked her, but also astonished the Empire's subjects.

That a Beta could make the King consent to marry her to the highest-ranking Second Prince, Rong Mingcheng, the future king's choice.

Jiang Zhi also hadn't quite reacted, took out her phone, and called her parents.

She knew that if the marriage were granted, it would also require her parents' consent.

The one who answered was her aunt; Aunt Jiang's voice sounded slightly tired: 'Zhizhi, your parents have just gone to sleep—ask me anything you need to.'

Jiang Zhi didn't know what had happened at home; for the original host's parents, willing to conceal her Omega identity with a Beta identity, it was natural to see their intentions.

From the moment the original host's pheromones were first released, they drove a guest visiting the household mad.

Moreover, her pheromones could cause a Beta to lose consciousness, showing how terrifying they are.

Because of the pheromone issue, the original host's parents worried themselves sick, even painstakingly developing a hidden medicine that could turn an Omega into a Beta.

Jiang Zhi calmed down, her tone calm and clear: 'Aunt Jiang, why did Mom and Dad agree to this marriage?'

Aunt Jiang spoke earnestly: 'Last night the Second Prince came to our house; he somehow found out you're an Omega, and even—'

She paused mid-sentence, then let out a sigh.

'Zhizhi, don't be afraid; we'll get through this—don't come back, understand?'

Jiang Zhi wanted to hear what she was going to say even further, hesitated a moment, but ultimately didn't ask.

The original host didn't know, but she, having read the plot, was very clear.

The original host was not truly human; she had half-merfolk blood. Initially, the original host's Omega father combined with a mermaid and returned alone to give birth to her.

Merfolk are an ancient clan, their whereabouts mysterious, their pheromones differ from humans'; they possess powerful healing mental abilities.

Therefore the original host's parents chose to conceal her identity; otherwise, due to her special half-merfolk bloodline, she would be contested by various federal planets.

But how did Rong Mingcheng know she had half-merfolk blood?

Otherwise, according to the original host's parents' thinking, they would never let her marry Rong Mingcheng just because she was discovered to be an Omega.

Jiang Zhi hung up the phone, and then people from the Imperial Family came to her door.

They wore suits, their aura fierce.

'Miss Jiang, come with us.'

Jiang Zhi glanced at them, offered no resistance, and followed them onto the pitch-black levitating airship.

Midway through the journey, an extremely fast airship directly intercepted them.

Stepping out of the vehicle, Rong Mingcheng was tall and slender like a pine tree, his aura cold and deep.

The leading man in a suit, seeing this, got out of the car, bowed respectfully, and immediately said, 'Your Highness, it is the Queen's command.'

The Queen is Rong Mingcheng's biological mother, holding a high rank; in the Empire her authority is second only to the King, she possesses the purest Omega bloodline, and her match with the King reaches up to 80%.

Rong Mingcheng had rushed back from Jiang Zhi's hometown; though the journey was long and arduous, he showed no fatigue, glanced sideways at the girl inside the airship without changing expression, and calmly said, 'I'll take her.'

The suited man dared not defy his words, also understanding that the Second Prince's words are never broken; he obeyed, ordering his subordinates behind him to bring Jiang Zhi out.

When Jiang Zhi saw Rong Mingcheng, she froze for a moment; only after the suited people behind her had left did she speak: 'What's going on?'

Rong Mingcheng stepped forward, opened his coat and draped it over her, speaking softly: 'I'll tell you in the car.'

The coat, infused with the icy cedar pheromone, instantly blocked all of her scent.

Jiang Zhi sat inside, gazing at the man's extraordinarily handsome profile, her heart uneasy, she involuntarily asked: 'Why, why?'

Rong Mingcheng handed her a piece of information, which was the data from this government pheromone matching.

Regarding the pheromone match between Jiang Zhi and him, it actually reached 100%.

Unprecedented, never before seen.

Even the match between the King and the Queen is only 80%.

Jiang Zhi's face filled with shock; her usual bright, sparkling eyes gradually darkened.

Such information alone could easily decide her marriage.

The Empire has a clear regulation: once pheromone compatibility reaches 80 or above, marriage must be enforced.

No one's consent is required.

Therefore, he didn't know she had half-merfolk blood; he merely took this information and reported it to her parents, after which they agreed.

"It was tested yesterday." Rong Mingcheng's unfathomable eyes held a hint of a smile: "You needn't be afraid; I have no one else I favor, and we will marry—"

His words paused; he glanced sideways at her, giving the impression of a spring breeze melting ice.

"I'm very happy."

Jiang Zhi pinched the information report in her hand, lightly bit her lip, hesitated a moment and said: "But... we've only met twice."

They are not familiar with each other, yet they are to marry—this is too fast.

Rong Mingcheng's narrow eyes' corners slightly lifted, the arc bewitching to the heart and mind, "It's fine, we will see each other every day from now on."

The girl met his gaze, her expression hazy for a few seconds, then quickly looked away, her jade-white earlobe tinged with a flush of red.

"Ah..." she lowered her eyes, her slender fingers unconsciously entwined, and she asked softly: "Where are we going?"

Rong Mingcheng's brow and eyes returned to their usual expression, he looked straight ahead and said: "To see my mother."

Jiang Zhi didn't speak again, but in her mind asked the system: "Show me the Love Points and Hatred Values of the three people."

777 sent her the information she wanted to know.

Jing Cang Love Points 100, Hatred Value 80.

Rong Qingzhou Love Points 100, Hatred Value 80.

Rong Mingcheng Love Points 100, Hatred Value 60.
