The Crybaby Alpha is Actually Really Cool - Chapter 13

“Tonight the moon is beautiful, Nie Wan plunged into the small woods, running here and scurrying there, startling bursts of curses.

Wen Yuchen, who was following behind him, couldn’t help but curse as well: ‘Really F***ing jerk.’

What were his intentions coming to this kind of place late at night?

Ruan Qingyao’s small face was flushed, blocking his ears to isolate those sounds of moans that made one’s heart pound and face blush.

After walking for a long time, there was no one else around. Wen Yuchen said: ‘Xiong Yan, You Xiaoxi, go flank from the side. You surnamed Xu, go around to the back.’

Xu Lingguang haughtily snorted, ‘Stupid mortal, you are not worthy to command me, I am the Main C.’

Generally speaking, the Main C is the captain of a team and is responsible for commanding. It has never happened before for a healer to be the commander.

Wen Yuchen’s face instantly turned ugly. He immediately punched Xu Lingguang. Xu Lingguang was caught off guard and took a punch, and immediately returned the favor.

The two started fighting again.

Xiong Yan and You Xiaoxi, who were about to leave, exchanged glances, unsure whether they should intervene.

Cheng Shu sighed, directly picked up a stone and threw it at Nie Wan ahead. With an external enemy, the two would stop their internal conflict.

However, Nie Wan played deaf and blind, pretending not to notice their presence, and watched the show from the dark.

Cheng Shu could only separate Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang himself: ‘The person has run away.’

Only then did the two remember the purpose of their trip.

‘It’s all your fault!’

The two said simultaneously, then turned their heads away from each other and coldly snorted. After snorting, they started arguing again, and after arguing, they wanted to fight again.

It seemed like it wouldn’t end anytime soon. Ruan Qingyao quietly poked Cheng Shu with his finger, shaking the sack in his hand: ‘Let’s go ourselves.’

Cheng Shu nodded, waved to call Xiong Yan and You Xiaoxi, and abandoned Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang behind.

‘Follow me.’

Cheng Shu remembered there was a trap nearby. Luring Nie Wan there would be better than using a sack. Since Nie Wan had already discovered them, the existence of the sack seemed meaningless.

Coincidentally, Nie Wan was also planning to lure them into the big pit, take Ruan Qingyao away, and lock up the others for one night.

The result was that neither side would move, and they reached a stalemate.

Nie Wan could afford to wait, but they couldn’t. Not returning before the eleven o’clock lights-out meant being locked up. Cheng Shu thought for a moment and explained the situation to Ruan Qingyao and the other three: ‘Either we go directly and catch him and beat him up, or we go back first.’

Ruan Qingyao shook his head. Let’s forget it. One can’t do bad things openly.

‘Then let’s go back. Wash up and go to bed early.’

Seeing them about to leave, Nie Wan thought, ‘This won’t do.’

His figure was ghostly. He held his spiritual weapon—a roll of tape—intending to directly tie them up.

Feeling the change in the airflow behind him, Ruan Qingyao instinctively dodged. Unexpectedly, Nie Wan could change his path in the air. Caught off guard, the tape wrapped a circle around Ruan Qingyao, binding his arms to his body.

Cheng Shu subconsciously summoned his spiritual weapon. This time it wasn’t a thermos cup, but a long stick, which struck Nie Wan’s back with a whistling sound.

Nie Wan was just happy about catching someone when he was struck by a stick and stumbled. He retracted the tape, and a whip appeared in his hand, and he started fighting with Cheng Shu.

The more he fought, the more he felt something was wrong. How could this new recruit feel stronger than him?

Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang, hearing the commotion, finally ended their mutual fighting and rushed over, surrounding Ruan Qingyao to undo the tape on him.

Wen Yuchen said irritably: ‘This stupid thing can’t be torn off at all, it’s like it grew with the clothes.’

Ruan Qingyao blinked upon hearing this. ‘Help me take off my clothes then.’

Cheng Shu deliberately moved towards the trap. Taking advantage of Nie Wan’s moment of self-doubt, he seized the opportunity to knock the person into the pit.

With a ‘kata’ sound, the small object at the bottom of the pit turned into a cage, trapping Nie Wan. The pit was ten meters deep, and the pit walls were equipped with sharp fragments. Nie Wan wouldn’t be able to get out tonight.

Nie Wan cursed under his breath, ‘Damn it. When I get out, I’ll definitely beat up the bastard who set this trap.’

Cheng Shu turned around and saw Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang with serious, stern faces, each pulling one of Ruan Qingyao’s sleeves, while Ruan Qingyao’s arms were squirming, trying to get out of the sleeves. Xiong Yan and You Xiaoxi were also poker-faced, shouting words of encouragement.

Anyone who didn’t know would think they were engaged in some life-defining event.

Pfft ha ha ha, Cheng Shu laughed until his stomach hurt. After watching for a while, he walked over and reached out to tug at the tape. The tape dissolved into sparkling light and disappeared.

‘This should be Nie Wan’s spiritual weapon. You just need to counteract it with spiritual energy.’

Ruan Qingyao’s eyes were full of admiration: ‘Cheng Cheng, you are so amazing. There is no one more amazing than you in the world.’

Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang were dissatisfied, but when Cheng Shu glanced over, Xu Lingguang shrank his head timidly. Only Wen Yuchen still stiffened his neck, expressing his displeasure.

Xu Lingguang was inwardly smug and cursed: ‘Idiot!’

He was really looking forward to Cheng Shu teaching Wen Yuchen a lesson.

It was getting late. Although Ruan Qingyao was curious why Cheng Shu’s spiritual weapon had turned into a stick again, he didn’t ask further. After returning and washing up, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he got into bed.

However, Wen Yuchen tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the black long stick in Cheng Shu’s hand. That stick was not the thermos cup becoming longer and thicker; it had completely changed its form.

He summoned his silver needle. Could this thing also change its form, perhaps into a spear or something? Look how similar the needle tip and the spearhead are.

Wen Yuchen truly hated his spiritual weapon. As a dignified Alpha, his spiritual weapon was a needle. Never mind the talk about the silver needle being a treasure of ancient Chinese medicine; all he saw when he looked at the needle was embroidery.

So O-ish, not Alpha at all. If others found out, wouldn’t they mock him to death?

Tomorrow, he’d find Qingyao and ask him to ask Cheng Shu.

Wen Yuchen felt that if it was Qingyao, he definitely wouldn’t mock him. Although they had known each other for a very short time, trust came so inexplicably.

During morning exercises, only Sun Li came. He taught everyone the twelve forms of combat.

Wen Yuchen couldn’t find any free time. He could only stare at Ruan Qingyao first, organize his words, and do some mental preparation.

Ruan Qingyao felt a fiery gaze fixed on him, feeling like his skin was about to burn.

As soon as morning exercises ended, Ruan Qingyao went to find Wen Yuchen before Wen Yuchen could come to him.

Wen Yuchen led Ruan Qingyao away from the main group of the dorm: ‘You guys don’t come over, I need to talk to Qingyao about something.’

Acting so mysteriously made everyone even more curious.

Wen Yuchen was filled with unease. He actually wanted to talk in a confined space like the restroom, but he cared about his pride.

Ruan Qingyao thoughtfully invited Wen Yuchen to go to the restroom with him. After all, Wen Yuchen was his second potential partner, and this was clearly a great opportunity to deepen their relationship.

In the restroom, Wen Yuchen looked left and right, confirming that no one was around before summoning his spiritual weapon.

A set of twenty-four silver needles. Wen Yuchen felt they were all identical, so he only summoned one at a time.

Wen Yuchen handed the silver needle to Ruan Qingyao. Ruan Qingyao carefully held the silver needle and examined it closely in the light. The slender column of the silver needle was engraved with beautiful patterns, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.

Ruan Qingyao thought of the patterns at the very bottom of his treasure chest, which would change slightly every day, and this change affected the items produced each day.

He looked closely again, returned the silver needle to Wen Yuchen, and seeing Wen Yuchen’s awkward, hesitant, and unspoken expression, Ruan Qingyao proactively asked: ‘Yuchen, what did you want to talk to me about?’

Wen Yuchen scratched his head, his face full of irritation, but deep down there was inferiority and shyness.

‘What do you think of it?’

Ruan Qingyao said without hesitation: ‘It’s very good.’

‘Its small body seems to contain enormous energy. The mysterious aura it emits is captivating. The noble, inviolable aura and a sense of approachability coexist. Being close to it gives a strong sense of security.’

Wen Yuchen looked at Ruan Qingyao’s pure, untainted amber eyes. His serious demeanor showed no falsehood.

‘Don’t you think it’s very O, not like a spiritual weapon an Alpha should have?!’

Since Wen Yuchen summoned the silver needle spiritual weapon, the younger members of his family have mocked him both openly and subtly. Even though his parents didn’t say anything, Wen Yuchen could feel that they had shifted the time and energy they originally gave him to his cousin.

‘Huh?’ Ruan Qingyao was also confused. ‘But in the historical records I’ve seen, the silver needle is an existence that countless people fear and countless people revere.’

Wen Yuchen tried to make Ruan Qingyao understand the O-ness of the silver needle: ‘It looks exactly like the needle Omegas use for embroidery!’

Ruan Qingyao opened his mouth in shock: ‘They are completely different.’

He pulled out a needle and thread kit from his chest to show Wen Yuchen. Wen Yuchen compared the two objects. They did seem different. Then why did they constantly mock him and tell him he should go do embroidery?

‘Of course, it’s because they are jealous of your talent and your strength, Yuchen.’

Ruan Qingyao’s small appearance was extremely serious. Only then did Wen Yuchen realize that he had actually voiced his inner confusion.

‘Yuchen, look,’ Ruan Qingyao pulled out an ancient book from the chest, pointed to a page, and said, ‘The Pear Blossom Storm Needle, the best in the world.’

Wen Yuchen quickly took the book to look. He read through the entire introduction of the Pear Blossom Storm Needle in one glance, remained silent for a moment, then put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly: ‘Ah ha ha ha ha, the best in the world! I am indeed a born Main C! Ha ha ha ha!’

‘Stupid mortal, I am the Main C!’ a roar suddenly came from the window.

Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang stared at each other across the window. Wen Yuchen was enraged: ‘You guys were eavesdropping!’

Xu Lingguang added fuel to the fire: ‘I was being open and honest!’

Wen Yuchen lunged over, jumped out the window, and started fighting with Xu Lingguang.

Ruan Qingyao looked towards the window. Xiong Yan and You Xiaoxi were scratching their heads awkwardly. Cheng Shu was candid: ‘Everyone was worried about Yuchen.’

Everyone had noticed Wen Yuchen’s unease this morning, and they thought he might have had a nightmare due to the documentary from last night.

Ruan Qingyao smiled: ‘Yuchen is fine.’

Cheng Shu nodded: ‘He’s fighting so fiercely, he must be fine. Let’s go eat first.’

Thinking of eating, Ruan Qingyao became unhappy. Fortunately, the amount of exercise was large enough, or else he would get fat eating so much.

‘Let’s go.’ He walked straight to the window, placed his palm on the ledge, and jumped up gracefully. Looking at the distance from the ground outside, he backed away.

The inner and outer heights were actually different, ridiculous!

Cheng Shu laughed at the sight, and extended his hand: ‘It’s okay, I’ll catch you.’

‘Then I’m coming.’

Ruan Qingyao landed steadily before holding onto Cheng Shu’s arm: ‘Let’s go!’

Shame and anger made one burst forth. Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang were usually evenly matched, but today, Wen Yuchen was overwhelmingly beating Xu Lingguang.

Although Xu Lingguang was resisting, it was not hard to see that his movements were filled with guilt.

Until his handsome face was punched, and a bump swelled up on a spot that was already swollen, Xu Lingguang roared: ‘Wen, don’t go too far!’

‘Heh, I’m hitting your face specifically!’

The two fought fiercely, not even going to the cafeteria, until they were caught and locked up in solitary confinement, and their emotions finally calmed down.

Pushed into the dark room, Wen Yuchen suddenly remembered that he hadn’t discussed the important matter with Qingyao!

Ah ah ah ah, that damned Xu Lingguang, it’s all his fault for meddling and stirring up trouble!
