After Transmigrating Into a Scummy Alpha, I Have Unlimited Krypton Gold (GL) - Chapter 10

“Even if someone did help… which kindhearted immortal came along and swapped out that scumbag for her?”

Little Pure-hearted A really didn’t want to admit that her pheromones couldn’t even maintain a temporary mark for a full day.

But the situation left her no choice. After all, the mute beauty who used to guard against her like she was a thief was now clinging to her like she never wanted to let go.

Right now, Xue Cheng felt like nothing more than a human-sized plush pillow—one of those that releases a puff of pheromones every time you press it.

Liu Wuyuan, still delirious with heat, kept absentmindedly poking and pressing on her with her fingers. When she didn’t catch enough of that familiar scent, she’d puff out her pretty cheeks in dissatisfaction and stare at her with those watery eyes full of complaint and longing.

It almost made Xue Cheng feel like she was really starting to embody the “jerk Alpha” persona the original character was supposed to have.

She let out a long sigh, tightened her hold to keep the girl steady in her arms, then released a bit more pheromones before asking,
“Is that better?”

If just a couple sniffs could get them through this episode, that would be ideal. But the little beauty in her arms—whether she understood or just decided to ignore her—first inhaled the scent with obvious satisfaction, then immediately gave Xue Cheng a dissatisfied push, clearly saying she hadn’t released enough.

Xue Cheng hesitated. If she gave too much, it would be a problem; if she gave too little, it was also a problem. No matter what she did, it wasn’t right. This was proving to be really difficult.

“Liu Wuyuan, calm down for a second. Let’s talk this through, okay?”

Only then did Xue Cheng remember—when she went out earlier, she should’ve dropped by the medical hall and asked the doctor for a prescription. That would’ve been smarter than standing here completely helpless.

Even if Liu Wuyuan was too far gone to think straight, Xue Cheng wasn’t. She couldn’t mark her again without understanding her physical condition—no matter how urgent the situation.

So all she could do now was keep releasing a steady stream of pheromones to soothe her while carrying her out into the yard for some fresh, cool air.

If that still didn’t help… Xue Cheng glanced over at the well in the courtyard. The water would be ice-cold—it might just work as a last resort.

Painful and unpleasant as it would be, if it helped Liu Wuyuan ride out this heatwave, then at least once she was more clear-headed, Xue Cheng could head out and bring back a proper doctor.

Luckily, while Liu Wuyuan clearly wasn’t thrilled, the steady comfort of the pheromones kept her from putting up much of a fuss.

After a while, she finally began to quiet down. Xue Cheng figured the worst of the heat had passed. The girl in her arms was lucid again but clearly too embarrassed to face her, so she just curled up and pretended to be asleep.

Even though Liu Wuyuan couldn’t speak, Xue Cheng somehow found her endearing like this—so awkward and shy. She didn’t need words to guess what was going through her head.

In fact, Xue Cheng found being with Liu Wuyuan surprisingly easy. Her gestures, her eyes—they expressed everything so clearly. There were no lies or masks, just genuine emotion.

Finally breaking the silence—mainly because her arms were getting sore from standing there holding her for so long—Xue Cheng shifted her grip and decided it was time to speak.

Xue Cheng gently loosened her hold on Liu Wuyuan and, after confirming that she could stand on her own, finally withdrew the arm she’d been using to support her waist.

She didn’t bring up the awkwardness from earlier, instead asking calmly, “Do you have any medicine at home for your rut period? If not, I’ll go find a doctor for you.”

Liu Wuyuan blinked in surprise and looked up at her. She hadn’t expected this jerk Alpha to not only refrain from bonding with her while she was delirious but now even offer to find a doctor on her behalf.

If she could speak, she would’ve snapped back: Didn’t you throw out all my suppressant decoctions yourself?

What a joke. This woman had been ruthless in trying to force a bond—she’d already tossed all of Liu Wuyuan’s hidden medicine packets, and she’d nearly gotten rid of her suppressant patches too.

But patches weren’t as easy to get rid of as decoctions. Liu Wuyuan often kept a few hidden on her person, and with the small amount of silver Xue Cheng gave her for groceries, she’d managed to quietly set aside enough to buy more.

Since the household didn’t employ any maids or servants—and Xue Cheng didn’t concern herself with chores—everything fell to Liu Wuyuan. After losing her memory, she’d been utterly confused the first time she was taken into the kitchen.

Originally, Xue Cheng had taught her how to start a fire and make a few simple dishes just to avoid having to cook herself.

Not that she was any good at it either—she barely knew how to make noodles or rice porridge. Later, she made Liu Wuyuan go out and learn from others. And to avoid being scolded or beaten, Liu Wuyuan had no choice but to obey.

From then on, whenever Xue Cheng planned to eat at home, she’d give Liu Wuyuan money to buy ingredients and cook.

Since Xue Cheng had no idea how much vegetables cost, she usually handed over a few strings of coins offhandedly. And when she wanted meat, she’d throw in a bit of silver. Liu Wuyuan always managed to squirrel some of it away.

In fact, she’d been quietly saving up for a long time, even doing small jobs for others in secret to earn a few extra coins.

After realizing that Xue Cheng was nothing but a cruel, two-faced scumbag, Liu Wuyuan began planning her escape.

She had no official identification papers. When Xue Cheng first brought her to the county office, she had bribed the clerk handling household registration to forge her identity.

Legally, she was now Xue Cheng’s wife. If she ran away, Xue Cheng could report her as a runaway spouse—and depending on how the officials ruled, that could mean being dragged back and punished by drowning in a pig cage.

Liu Wuyuan had researched all of this.

But even knowing the risks, she couldn’t stand the thought of staying with Xue Cheng. She had never imagined Xue Cheng would go so far—drugging her, locking her up in shackles, and nearly forcing herself on her.

She lowered her eyes as if obedient and demure, but in her heart, she was trying to figure out how Xue Cheng could have changed so drastically. Just looking into her eyes now, Liu Wuyuan could feel that she was… truly different.

The old Xue Cheng had eyes full of lust and cruelty—disgusting to look at. But this one… her gaze was shockingly clear and sincere.

And Liu Wuyuan was absolutely certain that she’d caught the scent of Xue Cheng’s pheromones a few times in the past—it definitely hadn’t smelled like this refreshing lime scent.

It had been more like the rusty stench of bl00d and iron. Xue Cheng used to be proud of it too, claiming that a dominant Alpha should have an aggressive, overwhelming scent.

She’d never tried to restrain it either—on the contrary, she seemed eager to let it leak out at all times. That pungent, repelling pheromone had filled the house constantly.

But now? This version of Xue Cheng wasn’t just holding it back—she was practically rationing it, even when Liu Wuyuan was in the middle of a heat-induced haze and all but begging her for more.

And the moment she sensed Liu Wuyuan had regained her composure, she immediately withdrew her scent completely.

It was like there was a knife hanging above her head, and if she didn’t reel it in fast enough, it would drop at any second.

To put it bluntly, it felt like Xue Cheng was treating her scent as a commodity. Want to smell more? Sorry, that’ll cost extra.

Of course, Xue Cheng had no idea what was going on in that little head of hers. But even if she had, she’d probably just grin and say: Well, if you’re paying, I’m open to negotiations.

But right now, she had more important things to do. So she gave a few final instructions:
“Make sure to bolt the door. I’m going to fetch a doctor for you. I’ll be back as soon as I can. If you feel uncomfortable… wipe yourself down with some cold water to cool off, alright? Remember that?”

She spoke gently, almost nagging, but there wasn’t the slightest trace of impatience.

There truly wasn’t even a shadow of the person she had once been.

Liu Wuyuan nodded and silently watched as Xue Cheng hurried away. In her mind, she couldn’t help wondering—

Could someone really change this much? Was there some kind of magical spell that swapped out a soul?

And if so…which kindhearted immortal had replaced that scumbag with this new version?
