After Marking the Villain Professor (ABO, GL) - Chapter 50

Chapter 50

“Hand over your weapons. You’re only allowed to bring one person inside.”

Upon receiving Xu Man’s instructions, Xu Si put away the small megaphone he had used to trade barbs with Wang Kang and said to him with a cold face.

“No way.”

“Young Master Kang, what if they mean you harm?”

“We can’t listen to them.”

Wang Kang’s subordinates all objected.

In the apocalypse, people’s hearts were hard to fathom. Not to mention a playmate they had not seen in years—even family might not be trustworthy.

Along the way, they had suffered many losses on this point.

There was also one other thing: they all wanted to eat that food that smelled so good. If they could not get inside, they definitely would not get to eat any.

Wang Kang hesitated for a second before agreeing. He signaled to the slimmer man beside him. “John, come with me.”

John nodded, signaling to the other brothers not to worry. Then he unloaded his weapons and followed behind Wang Kang into the RV.

As soon as they entered, they saw the table full of steaming delicacies, and both men’s eyes lit up.

Fish, shrimp, beef, lamb chops, milk, desserts…

How were they eating so well?

Little Man had so many supplies here, and it was so cool inside the vehicle.

These people—these people were even drinking fruit wine. Their lives were better than before the apocalypse.

If Little Man dumped that fox spirit and got together with him, then he could eat his fill and drink plenty every day without worrying about sun or rain.

Wang Kang swallowed at the sight of the food. When he thought of the fox spirit, he raised his gaze and saw Xu Man pouring fruit juice for that fox spirit Omega. And that fox spirit even smiled at him.

He had to admit, she had some looks, but that was provocation, right? Absolutely.

Wang Kang’s face flushed red with anger, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Zhou Yutao. “You shameless thing, you fox spirit, how shameless. Little Man is the eldest daughter of the Xu family. How can you let her serve you?”

Moreover, where was the logic in an alpha serving an Omega?

This fox spirit was not missing hands or feet. She even made Xu Man pour her fruit juice.

So infuriating. Infuriating to death.

Back when Xu Man chased after him, she had not gone this far.

She had been called an old witch before and a poker-faced, sexually frigid woman, but this was the first time for fox spirit.

And cursed by an alpha at that.

Zhou Yutao found it quite novel. She took the peach juice Xu Man handed her and took a light sip. Her body seemed to lose its bones as she leaned into Xu Man’s embrace and blinked. “It’s delicious. Thank you, Manman.”

It was a Zhou Yutao Xu Man had never seen.

The usually aloof and serious professor truly resembled a little demoness who hooked souls at this moment.

Xu Man finally understood why the fox spirit in the book hooked people without fail.

Who could resist this?

Xu Man’s face flushed red. She stared dazedly at Zhou Yutao and, for the moment, forgot about the others. She had no time to pay attention to Wang Kang.

Xu Yi and the others’ hearts held only one thought: holy crap.

Madam Boss was so skilled. She had the boss completely in hand. Wang Kang was no match at all.

Tan Juan silently covered her face.

She was done for. Her roommate was done for.

But with a villain this seductive, who would not be dazed.

Sigh. She worried Manman would get hurt in the future. They were not even in the same league.

“Disgraceful.”

Qi Lin tsked and turned her head away in clear distaste.

This was why she did not like Omegas—they were always swayed by pheromones.

Just like now, Zhou Yutao, whom she regarded as a lifelong rival, had lost her reason for an alpha and actually showed such a demeanor.

“Let go, fox spirit. Let go of me. Little Man is mine. You do not deserve her.”

Wang Kang grew even angrier and wanted to step forward to pull Zhou Yutao away, but Zheng Rong blocked him first.

“If you cannot speak properly, I will throw you out right now.”

Seeing the unkind looks from everyone in the vehicle, Wang Kang resentfully withdrew his hand and sat down nearby.

He did not understand why even Xu Man’s subordinates stood on the fox spirit’s side.

Just because she was pretty?

But he was not bad either. And in the apocalypse, what use was being pretty? Three pretty Omegas could not match one strong and capable alpha, let alone the fact that he had these subordinates.

Even a fool would know how to choose.

He had not been this impulsive and quick to anger before. It was all because this Omega was too arrogant, repeatedly challenging his bottom line.

That was right—his bottom line was Xu Man.

With that thought, Wang Kang finally calmed a bit. He remembered what he wanted to say to Xu Man. “Little Man, about us both being alphas, you do not need to worry.”

“You know Qi Lin, right? The genius of the pharmaceutical world. Legend has it she has a way for two alphas to be together. I already know her whereabouts. As long as we find her, we can be together without any worries.”

“Also, my parents do not oppose us being together. They are in Nancheng of the Xia Kingdom right now. Come with me. We will get married. In the future, I will protect you.”

“As for children, we can do in vitro.”

Wang Kang had come out this time not only to escort his parents to Nancheng but also for the important purpose of finding Xu Man and Qi Lin.

He had not realized that the person he sought sat right beside his left hand.

Zhou Yutao continued to drink her fruit juice unhurriedly. Her free hand secretly pinched Xu Man’s waist.

Xu Man nearly jumped in surprise but steadied herself. She said to Wang Kang, “It has nothing to do with gender. I will say it again, Wang Kang. I do not like you.”

“I do not believe it.”

Wang Kang wanted to say more.

Pfft… hahaha.

Tan Juan, who had a low laugh threshold, could not hold back her laughter.

She poked Qi Lin. “Hey, genius. Someone is looking for you. Will you not respond?”

Qi Lin: “…”.

Qi Lin’s slightly cold gaze swept over Tan Juan’s greasy hand on her leg. Like a magician, she pulled out a scalpel and stabbed it viciously into the table.

Tan Juan shrank back her hand and lowered her head.

Stingy. They were both women. What was wrong with a touch?

Whether you got mad or not, she had wiped the grease off her hand anyway. Qi Lin definitely would not discover her motive, hehe.

Who told her to fight over the bathroom with her just now.

Tan Juan snickered to herself.

Wang Kang’s face changed several times. Finally, after taking out a photo and comparing it to Qi Lin, he grew visibly excited.

“Qi Lin?”

“Manman, you must have found her for our sake, right?”

“Doctor Qi, hello. I have heard of you for a long time.”

“I wonder if you could lend a hand. As long as you are willing to help me and Manman, name your price. I am willing to pay any cost.”

Xu Man’s head throbbed.

She just felt Wang Kang was trouble. She did not know why Zhou Yutao wanted to see him.

Qi Lin pulled the knife from the table and smiled. “Of course. I am very willing to help you. No need for payment. It is just that I am afraid Boss Xu might not agree.”

Joy lit Wang Kang’s face, and he answered directly for Xu Man. “She agrees. We both agree. Doctor Qi, you can give me the medicine first.”

Qi Lin said, “No need for medicine. For two alphas to be together, just do a little surgery and cut out the glands.”

Wang Kang’s delighted expression froze on his face. “Doctor Qi, are you joking?”

Cutting out the glands—that would not be castrating them both?

Never mind the high chance it would affect their happy life—even their physical strength would decline. He had not wanted to use this method, which was why he thought of finding Qi Lin.

“Do I look like I am joking? Anyway, that is the only method I have.”

Qi Lin gave Xu Man a meaningful look. “Boss Xu, do you want me to help you? Some things are useless to keep anyway, are they not? So short a time.”

Xu Man: “…”.

She subconsciously wanted to reach for the back of her neck but quickly reacted. Her face flushed red in an instant.

This woman Qi Lin spared no one. No wonder Tan Juan always complained about her. She was truly a dog.

She just liked watching her and Zhou Yutao’s jokes and stirring up trouble, right?

Xu Man, peeved, secretly tattled to Zhou Yutao. “Sister, look at Qi Lin. What kind of talk is that?”

Zhou Yutao’s cold eyes turned to Qi Lin. “I can help Wang Kang. Manman does not need it. Or do you want to get off the vehicle right now?”

All right.

She had not even made a move yet, and she was already protecting her.

A marked Omega always sided with the alpha who marked her. This constitution was just so annoying.

Qi Lin felt quite regretful and turned toward Wang Kang with the knife. “Then I can only settle for Young Master Kang.”

The sharp little knife gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.

“Do not come over. I do not need it either.”

Wang Kang broke out in cold sweat. His right hand reflexively protected the back of his neck. “Doctor Qi, I do not need your help. Really, no need.”

If even Qi Lin had no medicine for this, then he could only find the legendary Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou was far more capable than Qi Lin by more than a little. She surely had a way.

It was just that Professor Zhou rarely appeared in public, so he did not know what she looked like. Searching for her after the apocalypse was like finding a needle in a haystack.

But rumor had it the people in Nancheng were also looking for Professor Zhou. Perhaps going to Nancheng offered a chance to meet her.

Once he found her, it would not be too late to have her help him and Little Man.

“Is that so?”

“But I do not like leaving things half-done. Since I already agreed to Young Master Kang, I should still help you out.”

Qi Lin had no intention of stopping.

Dealing with Wang Kang would just earn her a favor from Zhou Yutao.

Though she liked watching Zhou Yutao’s jokes, she had no choice but to admit she needed to mooch off Zhou Yutao for a while.

Wang Kang’s breathing nearly stopped in fright.

He dodged Qi Lin’s first strike and hurriedly shouted, “John, save me.”

The yellow-haired, blue-eyed man immediately blocked in front of Qi Lin.

Qi Lin was no martial arts expert after all. Once John made his move, she gave up.

The others’ attention immediately turned to this foreigner.

Aside from his extraordinary skills, it was because of the plastic bag he held in his hand.

The plastic bag was full of food and drink, packed to the brim.

It was all the leftovers from what Xu Yi and the others had eaten. No one knew when this man had stolen it.

Everyone: “…”.

No way. You with your honest face, stealing leftovers?

Tan Juan’s laughter rang out again. “I say, Young Master Wang Kang, could it be that your purpose in coming to find our Manman was to steal food?”

Wang Kang flushed beet red on his fair, handsome face from the laughter. “Little Man, listen to me explain. I really came for you.”

Though he did truly want the food.

But he had not told John to steal…

He had lost all face.

Xu Man was about to speak when she heard Zhou Yutao say, “I do not care what your purpose is. I can give you the food. However, when we enter the city district ahead later, you will take the lead.”

“Also, if anyone among you gets infected with the zombie virus, you must come to me.”

Xu Man suddenly understood. This was Zhou Yutao’s true purpose.

Their clever Professor Zhou had probably realized that the zombie virus might mutate differently in different races.

There was also one other point: Wang Kang and his people had made it this far, so their skills must be good. With free labor available, given Zhou Yutao’s nature, she naturally would not let it go.

Ahead lay the city district closest to Nancheng, densely populated. And before the apocalypse, a military force had been stationed there.

Though the novel did not describe it in detail, it was not hard to guess that the troops had been completely wiped out.

Because after the Nancheng safe base was established, they had sent people to search the surroundings but found not a single survivor.

One could imagine how dangerous it would be ahead.

Perhaps from the moment they met, Zhou Yutao had already set her sights on Wang Kang. It was just that this kid had his heart set on Xu Man and completely ignored Zhou Yutao, this Omega.

He did not know that the Professor Zhou he sought was right before his eyes.

Xu Man guessed about seventy or eighty percent of Zhou Yutao’s purpose but uniquely failed to think that Zhou Yutao’s possessiveness had flared up. So when Wang Kang got on the vehicle, she deliberately got close to Xu Man.

Embarrassment on Wang Kang’s face gave way to anger. “Why should I? Why should I listen to you?”

“Because.”

Zhou Yutao said lightly, “The Little Man you pine for is mine.”

“She is all mine, so naturally the rest is mine too. You stole my food. What do you say, why?”

“Of course, if you do not obey, I will punish her harshly later. Can you bear that?”

Wang Kang was stunned. He looked at Xu Man. “She is lying to me, right? Little Man.”

So everything here belonged to this fox spirit?

Little Man had actually been confined by someone, and the Xu family people had betrayed her?

Then it all made sense.

Little Man still liked male alphas. She had just been… bah, controlled by this poisonous widow.

Xu Man steeled herself to play along. “I am sister’s. You… agree to her demands, or I will be punished.”

Her shoulder still ached faintly even now.

But Zhou Yutao’s punishments—she liked them very much.

Wang Kang cursed vehemently. “You poisonous widow, despicable, shameless. Fine, I agree. Do not touch Little Man. If you have any issue, come at me.”

Xu Yi and the others silently turned their heads.

They truly feared they could not hold back and burst out laughing.

To be fair, this young master of the Wang family truly loved the young lady.

If there had not been Professor Zhou, perhaps the young lady and him together would not be bad. In any case, both were better than that Chen Xing.

Zhou Yutao’s eyes darkened. She tightened her arm around Xu Man’s waist, with a distinct edge of gritted teeth. “Young Master Kang is quite righteous toward our Manman. I just wonder what our Manman thinks.”

Xu Man: “…”.

Wronged. She had said not to see Wang Kang.
