"My Top-Tier Omega Wife Flirts With Me Every Day" - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Don’t Underestimate the Beastly Nature of an Alpha in Heat

The powers obtained through differentiation often relate to one’s own rank. Xia Man, as an A-rank alpha, has an ability called the “Money Luck Principle,” which also belongs to the A-rank category.

But this is not absolute. There are cases where abilities exceed their rank, such as the eldest daughter of the overseas Three Great Mutant Organizations’ Butterfly family—Hong You.

She’s also an A-rank alpha like Xia Man, but her ability “Breaking the Cocoon” rarely reaches S-rank.

“???”

Mei Jiuhuo’s dark, unremarkable eyes showed confusion. He didn’t know much about differentiated abilities, and was especially unfamiliar with the concept of “luck.”

Xia Man decided to demonstrate it for him. He took out his phone and randomly opened a lottery gacha pool for Mei Jiuhuo to see.

“For example, this draw, the game sets the probability, it’s very hard to hit the jackpot in one go, but if I do this…”

He shook a golden card in his hand: “This kind of guaranteed luck only costs me a thousand yuan to redeem, then…”

Suddenly, the sound of coins bursting filled the air, and after the sound stopped, the golden card disappeared. He raised his hand and grabbed Mei Jiuhuo’s wrist, gesturing: “Try clicking it~”

Mei Jiuhuo knew this type of game; he had played it after growing up, but because of his bad luck, his life was always full of losses.

Half-believing, he clicked the draw once, and after a flashy burst of special effects, the phone popped up a prize.

“Ah, I got it…” he exclaimed in surprise, eyes wide. Xia Man stood nearby, grinning proudly: “Never been this lucky before, right~”

“Yeah, never,” Mei Jiuhuo nodded in shock, then shyly muttered, “But Captain Xia, I just saw that this pool guarantees a prize at a thousand pulls too, so your…”

Xia Man: “…”

His show-off failed; he flicked his fingers on his forehead: “…You little unlucky egg!”

“…Sorry.”

“Your ability is similar to mine, it’s a concept-type ability,” Xia Man explained. “When pushed to the extreme, it’s quite powerful, though not as freakishly strong as some S-rank ones like Mota.”

He withdrew his hand, lips curling into a noble yet gentle smile: “I’m really looking forward to your future performance~”

“…” Mei Jiuhuo had never heard such a compliment in his life before. He was stunned and gloomy, unable even to say thanks.

The medical department’s consultation room window was open, a cool breeze occasionally stirring the thin sheer curtains. Xia Man sat by the bedside, casually crossing his long legs, continuing their chat:

“Your name’s interesting too~”

Mei Jiuhuo — no wine to drink.

“When I registered, my father was drunk and casually complained, ‘No wine to drink, no wine to drink,’ and the staff probably didn’t want to deal with a drunk, so they just recorded it like that.”

In just a few words, he revealed himself as a little pitiful kid. For someone like Xia Man, born with a silver spoon, it was unimaginable.

But Xia Man’s consistent gentleness and cultivation meant he neither pitied nor mocked others’ misfortunes, only smiling and nodding. His heroic face showed no hint of unpleasantness.

Mei Jiuhuo’s mood eased considerably. He forced a smile and handed back the suit jacket. Suddenly recalling his earlier panic, he sat up abruptly:

“By the way, where’s Captain Mo? I need to find him and explain things clearly. I can’t let him misunderstand Ling Zhuo!”

Though… going to talk to Captain Mo felt a bit scary.

Just now, he panicked badly, luckily Ling Zhuo helped, but he got scolded by Captain Mo because of it!

He cared about Captain Mo so much, he must be heartbroken now…

Thinking of Ling Zhuo being sad made him anxious. Xia Man, beside him, smiled and flicked his golden hair out of his forehead:

“Don’t worry, from what I know about Mota, he didn’t misunderstand at all~”

“There were so many people watching just now. He had to speak first to scold and stop others from complaining; otherwise, if Ling Zhuo hit the instructor, our baby would be punished~”

Xia Man put his suit jacket back on and straightened his collar while speaking.

The chief medical officer who had brought back the sedative pointed next door:

“Your guess is exactly right; he’s right next door.”

“Hehe~ Let’s go see…”

A sly smile flashed in Xia Man’s eyes as he grabbed Mei Jiuhuo by the collar and dragged him quietly to the neighboring door to peek inside.

In the room, the instructor sat on the bed, with two other medical doctors applying a cast. Bright, who had helped him earlier, had returned to the training ground.

Mota leaned against the nearby bed, handing the instructor a cigarette:

“Sorry, my men were a bit rough. He didn’t mean it.”

“Eh, Captain Mo, don’t be so formal. You controlling those kids is enough. I’m fine; no need to apologize!”

The instructor took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, but the busy doctor frowned:

“Patients are prohibited from smoking.”

The instructor sheepishly put the cigarette back behind his ear.

Mota smiled faintly: “Okay, when you recover, I’ll bring him over to apologize.”

“Hey, something’s off, Captain Mo,” the instructor said, though serious, he loved gossip, especially about this legendary association captain.

His expression immediately turned suggestive, and the two doctors slowed their work, pricking up their ears to listen.

“This newcomer’s got good skills and looks. I guess he’s a sure pass to become official, but whose team will he join? From Captain Mo’s tone, he’s already his man? Pre-selected?”

That was new. The entire association had never seen Captain Mo so personally invested in anyone before. Usually, he was strictly professional. Now, calling him “my man,” saying “I’ll bring him to you,” was clearly taking responsibility, almost as if protecting Ling Zhuo from trouble.

So well-guarded, it was hard not to be suspicious.

The people around and those eavesdropping at the door immediately recalled rumors circulating in the company about Captain Mo having a scandal with a fox omega—could it be…

“Don’t overthink it. Our department is very fair. No one is pre-selected. All team members join based on merit.”

Facing curious eyes, Mota remained calm:

“Once he passes the test, I’ll try hard to get him on my team.”

Ling Zhuo’s skills were excellent in every way. Wanting such talent was nothing unusual. Besides…

He fit Captain Mo’s taste.

This statement made everyone more suspicious. Everyone in the association knew no newcomer wanted to miss joining the strongest Executioner team; why would Captain Mo need to “try” to get him?

The gossipy group exchanged knowing looks, clearly saying: “Oi~~~ There’s something going on~~”

“Tsk tsk, the more I listen, the weirder it sounds. Captain Mo, why don’t you tell us the truth? That person from the chat group—isn’t it him?”

The instructor couldn’t help asking, while Xia Man gave a thumbs-up from the door.

“Ask me if you want, but don’t ask him directly. He’s thin-skinned and might get scared.”

If any team member from the First Team was here, they would say: “The boss is talking nonsense.”

That guy thin-skinned? Laughable. Everyone suspected Ling Zhuo had no such moral sense, otherwise how could he so calmly say he wanted to be with the captain, even offering a condom!

Unfortunately, the instructor wasn’t there at that time. Hearing Mota’s words, he promised not to ask Ling Zhuo and pressed again.

Ling Zhuo stood up, patted the instructor’s shoulder, and smiled softly:

“Get well soon. I still have a mission, so I’m off.”

Truly casual, elegant, and handsome. The curious crowd scratched their heads.

After he left, the two eavesdroppers at the door quickly slipped back into the neighboring room.

The two doctors inside the instructor’s room dared to speak only after he left:

“Did that newcomer carry Captain Mo’s pheromone scent?”

The instructor recalled and shook his head:

“Doesn’t seem like it.”

Doctor 09: “Oh, then probably not.”

“Instructor, why?”

He was confused: “I just heard the shooting instructor say Captain Mo personally trained that newcomer. Who else in the base has gotten such treatment?”

“Hmm, no one, but Captain Mo’s eyes weren’t heterochromatic today and he wasn’t wearing gloves, meaning he’s not in ‘keep away from people’ mode. So training someone isn’t unusual, though rare.”

There’s a secret rumored rule in the association: when a team captain’s right eye is heterochromatic and he wears gloves, no physical contact is allowed, or you might get punched!

Doctor 21 nodded vigorously:

“Not to mention, there were no omegas among the new interns in the Execution Department, and about that one-night rumor—if there had been close contact, pheromone scent would definitely remain on both.”

Just now, they didn’t smell any on Captain Mo or the newcomer, so it’s very likely not true.

The instructor slapped his thigh, still unconvinced:

“What if it is? It’s been many days.”

Doctor 21 looked disdainfully:

“You don’t get it. The pheromone concentration in the □□ (someplace) is very high. The scent can last more than a week, especially inside there. The person would smell like they’re soaked in Captain Mo’s pheromones, inside and out.”

Doctor 09 added:

“What strength does Captain Mo have? He’s an S-rank alpha. Could his scent fade so fast?”

“…What if it wasn’t inside?”

The instructor argued stubbornly.

The two doctors sneered:

“Hmph, during mating, alphas unconsciously release pheromones and are instinctively driven to mark their partner, even biting glands. Even if Captain Mo could control himself, both would have pheromones on them.”

“Also, don’t underestimate an alpha’s possessiveness triggered by being in heat—like a wild beast!”

The instructor was speechless:

He himself was an alpha, so he knew this well.

Although their strength and physical qualities far exceed ordinary people, they’re greatly affected by pheromones. The internet even mocks them anonymously as animals, especially when omegas go into heat and show beast-like traits.

Seems the doctors weren’t wrong; the instructor regretted his wrong guess.

“…Tsk, I was just about to ship those two.”
