"My Top-Tier Omega Wife Flirts With Me Every Day" - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Courtship Behavior S-Class Omega

The fox probably didn’t know about the surveillance cameras, but his identity as an omega didn’t need to be hidden anyway.

When Mota told him to hide his tail, it was actually due to a subtle, personal desire; he didn’t want others to see him in his heat.

He was the first to find the hostage. The President, Mu Jiqiu, looked at the beast ears and a flicker of thought passed through his eyes behind his glasses. “He’s in this state, didn’t he get his inhibitors?”

He asked the question to An Li, but his gaze was on Mota.

“The symptoms just started, so he probably didn’t have time yet.”

Mota came up with a random excuse.

The elegant older man nodded and praised him with satisfaction: “His speed is fast, his reactions are strong, and his explosive power is also very good. He’s definitely a good prospect…”

In the footage, Ling Zhuo crouched like a beast on the checkout counter, his eyes coldly looking down at the mannequin. He looked powerful, just as the President had said.

But then he suddenly pulled out his gun, and with a “bang,” he fired a shot at the mannequin without any warning. It was clean and quick, without a single blink.

“???” The people in the main control room were collectively stunned. Who shoots at the rescue target right away?

That one shot completely stumped Mu Jiqiu, who had just been praising him in front of the monitor.

“He…”

“Uh…”

“This…”

It took him a while to form a sentence, finally coming up with a reason: “Does he not know that’s the rescue target?”

“He shot the alarm speaker,” Mota stared at the small screen, calmly shaking his head.

With his reminder, the others who had been shocked quickly realized that the mannequin wasn’t hurt at all; only the alarm speaker tied to its wrist had been shattered.

“What is he trying to do?”

“Afraid the sound will attract the distorted bodies?”

As the people here were guessing, Ling Zhuo had already picked up the mannequin and left the convenience store.

He found a tall building to hide the mannequin he found and then went to find the other mannequins using the same method. During this process, the others who had split up also encountered several distorted bodies. Jiang Yizhi had killed two, and Mei Jiuhe had killed one.

The other two chose to prioritize finding the rescue targets and hadn’t yet faced the distorted bodies head-on.

Before long, Ling Zhuo found the third mannequin. He hid his beast ears. While carrying it, he happened to run into Bright and Noah, who had also each found one.

He counted on his fingers, realizing he had found all the targets, and told the two of them to follow him.

“Carry them to the square, there’s a big crossroads there,” he said, pointing in a direction while carrying a mannequin. The other two exchanged glances, feeling a bit confused, but their curiosity got the better of them, so they did as he said.

In the square, the five mannequins were laid out in a row. Ling Zhuo destroyed the remaining two speakers, then pulled out a sharp knife and prepared to slice his palm.

Just as the blade was about to touch his skin, he suddenly remembered that bl00d would also carry a faint scent of pheromones. If it leaked, his identity as an omega would be exposed. He quickly looked around, noticed a bl00d pack under the mannequin’s skin, and changed his plan, slicing the mannequin’s palm instead.

“Ah,” the two alphas watching nearby said, “Isn’t that… inappropriate?”

Ling Zhuo, who was focused on smearing the bl00d on the other mannequins’ faces, said, “Huh?”

He clearly didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he was doing. Instead, he found the two of them in the way and chased them to a distant building.

After doing all this, he himself leaped to the top of the traffic light pole at the intersection, concealed his presence, and waited.

The scent of bl00d quickly spread from the mannequins. The distorted bodies in the city sensed it, drooling with excitement as they gathered towards the area.

Jiang Yizhi and Mei Jiuhe, who didn’t know what was happening here, also noticed something was wrong. They chased the monsters and arrived, only to see the five mannequins being used as bait.

Jiang Yizhi was greatly shocked: “Ling Zhuo, you did this?”

The person he asked, standing on the pole, glanced at him but didn’t respond. Jiang Yizhi grew anxious: “Are you crazy? You’ve lured so many monsters here. If something happens to the rescue targets, we’ll all fail…”

Before he could finish his accusation, the distorted bodies, excited by the scent of bl00d, rushed towards the mannequins.

He quickly readied his gun. Mei Jiuhe, holding the strap on his back, was about to pull out his weapon. The waiting Ling Zhuo above suddenly let out a soft laugh, his lips curving into a slight grin, revealing the tips of his sharp white canines. “Nothing will happen~”

He was going to be number one!

As his voice fell, in the blink of an eye, the bl00d on the mannequins seemed to come alive, suddenly transforming into long, thorny red vines.

The vines instantly spread out in all directions at an imperceptible speed. The bodies of the remaining twenty-seven distorted bodies at the intersection froze at the same time. The next second, the crimson vines burst from within them, tearing through their flesh. Bl00d splattered, and the overflowing bl00d solidified into more vines in mid-air.

Ling Zhuo nimbly leaped down from his high perch to inspect the results.

With the sudden turn of events, time seemed to freeze for the others at the crossroads, who were all standing in a daze.

Jiang Yizhi: “…”

Mei Jiuhe: “…”

Bright: “F**k…”

Noah, startled, sat down on the ground with a thump.

Inside the main control room, a large alert popped up on the monitor wall:

“Trainee Ling Zhuo has successfully killed distorted bodies.”

“Quantity: 27”

“Time: 0.5 seconds”

“Instant Kill Ability: Red Thorns”

“Detected Rank: S-class ability”

“Danger Level: S-class”

“Subject’s Pheromone Status: No overflow, subject stable.”

“No intention to attack detected yet. Please approach with caution.”

The alert message flashed with red light. The main control room, like the battlefield, fell into silence, everyone speechless.

The President was the first to recover, smiling and shaking his head: “This scene reminds me of Mota’s assessment when he joined the team five years ago.”

He also tested as S-class, with a gravity-based ability called “Air Manipulation,” which sounds elegant but is actually incredibly violent. He crushed all the distorted bodies into a bloody pulp in less than half a second.

No wonder he wanted An Li to personally go to Sector E to pick him up.

“Haha, are all you S-classes this brutal?” Xia Man laughed with an exaggerated tone, patting his chest. “So scary~”

“Indeed, but compared to Captain Mo’s style, little Zhuo’s seems much more aesthetically pleasing,” An Li said, crossing her arms and pointing her chin toward the monitor.

The crossroads had a large patch of thorn bushes four or five meters high, with the dismembered bodies of the distorted creatures impaled on the branches. If you didn’t look closely, they almost looked like roses blooming on the thorn bushes.

Mota stared at the slender and beautiful figure standing beneath the thorns on the screen, feeling like the fox had given him a surprise.

He had guessed Ling Zhuo’s intention when the fox started destroying the mannequin’s speakers.

He wasn’t afraid of attracting the distorted bodies; he was afraid of others finding them. He wanted to gather all the mannequins together to use as bait to attract all the distorted bodies, which would save him the trouble of finding and killing them one by one.

Calm, bold, decisive, with no psychological burden from using ordinary people as bait—a beast’s method, yet with a human’s rationality.

An S-class omega. The probability of encountering one was like winning the lottery. He was instantly stirred by a desire for conquest. The voices of the people around him suddenly became distant, silent.

His vision was filled only with that vibrant red, making his excited bl00d nearly boil.

He slowed his breathing several times to barely restrain this excitement.

“I want this fox.”

Mota’s voice was slightly hoarse, but the President didn’t immediately agree: “You’ve recruited such a formidable one. Can you control him?”

As he asked, at the crossroads, Ling Zhuo walked out of the thorn bushes, and with a flicker of his fingertips, he released his ability’s control.

The sound of shattering ice crystals rang out. Bl00d rained down on the crossroads. The thorns disappeared, and a large number of flesh chunks fell.

After the bl00d had all fallen, to the dumbfounded stares of the others, Ling Zhuo stepped into the bl00d and began to pick up the chunks of flesh.

He looked like he was picking mushrooms on the ground, his posture appearing very pleased. The collected chunks of meat were dragged to the side of the perfectly intact mannequins, and he began to reassemble a few bodies like a puzzle.

The remaining pieces that were difficult to put back together were dragged to one side and piled up.

“What is he doing now?” The scene was bizarre. Bright pulled Noah up and asked the other two in surprise.

Jiang Yizhi remained silent. Mei Jiuhe watched for a while, not understanding what Ling Zhuo was trying to do, but seeing him struggling to move them, he quickly stepped forward to help.

With someone helping, the speed increased significantly. The shattered body parts were soon arranged into a large heart.

Ling Zhuo stood happily beside the heart, shaking the bl00d off his hands, and waited for Mota to arrive after the assessment was over.

He had learned about drawing a heart on the ground from his third brother, who watched TV dramas on his days off.

His third brother said it was one of the human courtship rituals and was very romantic. Ling Zhuo put his hands behind his back, tapped his toes in the bloody water, feeling a little nervous but also anticipating Mota’s reaction to seeing it. The tips of his ears quietly turned red.

Noah and Bright, who didn’t find it romantic at all and only found it brutal, looked more and more twisted: “Now I understand even less what he’s trying to do.”

“Is this some kind of perverted hobby… like, a serial killer’s human art… or something?”

The two of them whispered their guesses. The sound reached Mei Jiuhe’s ears, and he frowned, glaring at them ominously, clearly unhappy with them talking about Ling Zhuo that way.

Noah/Bright: “…”

The black-haired boy didn’t feel his glare was enough. He suddenly squatted down, pressed his palm against the ground, and pointed his fingertips toward the two of them: “Ability, Corruptive Calamity.”

His voice was barely audible. As he finished speaking, a cloud of gray dust seeped from his palm, surging along the ground towards them.

“???” The two of them were even more confused: “No, what is he doing now?”

Just after they asked, a large flock of birds suddenly flew out of the building behind them. A rain of bird droppings fell on the two of them. They screamed and tried to run, but unfortunately, they stepped on a loose wheel, tumbled into a heap, and were instantly covered in bird droppings.

Noah/Bright: “…F**k.”

Mei Jiuhe pulled his hand back, his head lowered, a satisfied smile on his lips.

The commotion caught Ling Zhuo’s attention. He looked over and suddenly remembered they were there. He frowned, conflicted, beside the heart.

Before he came, his fourth brother had told him that humans value teamwork. That time he hurt the instructor, that annoying Jiang Yizhi had also said Mota cared about the relationship between teammates…

He thought about it, then suddenly started moving the fully assembled distorted bodies towards them, giving each person one. Then he also gave each of them one of the five mannequins.

The still-dumbfounded Noah/Bright: “…Is he insulting us?”

The fox, who was already extremely reluctant to share, thought they weren’t satisfied. He stood guard over the heart, frowning protectively. “I can’t give you any more of this!”

Otherwise, the heart he put together wouldn’t be big and good-looking enough!

In the main control room, everyone was equally stunned by his baffling actions. An Li suddenly thought of the cat she kept at home and guessed with a wry smile: “Is he… showing his catch to a certain someone?”

Although she said “a certain someone,” her gaze went straight to Mota beside her.

“And he even arranged the body parts into a heart~” Xia Man laughed mischievously, also glancing at Mota.

The handsome, cold alpha, who was the focus of their gazes, was softened by Ling Zhuo’s actions. He let out a soft chuckle, turned his head to look at the President, and waited for his answer to his earlier statement, “I want this fox.”
