The Stunning General Finds Himself in a Shura Field on a Dating Show ABO - Chapter 21

After preparing two meals, the refrigerator was nearly empty.

So, after breakfast, the group decided to head to the supermarket to restock their supplies.

Qin Siran hadn’t driven, leaving Jin Xi as the only one with a car. Naturally, the three of them piled into Jin Xi’s vehicle.

Leaning back in the driver’s seat, Jin Xi, ever mindful of his role as the older brother, invited Ye Zhi

Xiao Ye, why don’t you take the front seat? The view’s better from up here.

Ye Zhi shook his head. No thanks, I’ll sit with Brother Qin.

He felt it would be rude to leave Qin Siran alone in the back. After all, Xiao Xi had emphasized the importance of looking after the Omega during filming.

But Jin Xi couldn’t help overthinking.

Recalling their interactions that morning, an unsettling thought surfaced

Could Ye Zhi… be interested in Qin Siran?

The more he considered it, the more likely it seemed. Omegas were the most coveted resource in society, attracting both Alphas and Betas alike.

The live chat echoed Jin Xi’s suspicions

Whoa, does he actually have a thing for Xiao Qin?

The Alpha’s tired of playing around and now wants to mess with the Omega? Shameless.

Get lost, you fox spirit! Stay away from my Xiao Qin!

Jin Xi drove the car into the underground parking garage next to the supermarket, remembering to hand masks to the two passengers in the back.

Noticing Ye Zhi’s puzzled look, he explained

Xiao Qin and I are both in the entertainment industry, so we’re easily recognized. If you’re with us, it’s best to wear a mask too, just to avoid any trouble.

Ye Zhi understood immediately the celebrity effect.

It reminded him of his triumphant return to the Xia State capital, when his carriage had been showered with fruit until it overflowed.

This was indeed something to be cautious about. After all, he’d been hit on the head by countless objects back then.

Once, he’d even received a woman’s embroidered shoe…

At that moment, Ye Zhi had no idea that the trouble Jin Xi mentioned was far more dangerous than a pair of embroidered shoes.

This was Ye Zhi’s first time in a supermarket.

As soon as he stepped inside, the wonder in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.

The neatly arranged shelves, the spacious and brightly lit interior, and the diverse array of customers—everything dazzled him.

Ye Zhi couldn’t help but marvel at the advanced civilization on display.

The steel sheets that formed the shelves were an extremely scarce resource in the Xia State, yet here they were ubiquitous.

If the Xia State had possessed such steel, its border soldiers could have wielded better weapons, and perhaps that war wouldn’t have been lost.

Ye Zhi followed the two men to the fresh produce section, where loose rice was displayed nearby. He reached out and grabbed a handful.

The rice grains were plump and full, a delicacy reserved for the wealthy and powerful in the Xia State. Here, however, it was available to everyone.

This was the true golden age, the prosperous era he had dreamed of countless times on the battlefield.

Ye Zhi didn’t understand why he had been reborn, but he was deeply grateful for this second chance, allowing him to glimpse the prosperity the Xia State had never achieved in a thousand years.

Lost in his thoughts, Ye Zhi momentarily forgot to keep up with Qin Siran and Jin Xi.

At that moment, a man wearing a baseball cap silently approached him from behind.

The man’s hand, held at his side, seemed to grip something that glinted coldly under the supermarket lights.

The live stream chat noticed the danger, and the barrage of insults abruptly ceased

Wait, stop cursing! Look behind Ye Zhi!

Holy sh1t, that guy’s holding a knife!

What’s the cameraman doing?! Warn Ye Zhi!

The cameraman, engrossed in a phone call with his girlfriend and facing away from the camera, remained oblivious to the danger behind Ye Zhi.

Disliking someone didn’t mean you could disregard their life.

The live stream chat erupted in unexpected unity. Some viewers even called the police, but without knowing the supermarket’s exact address, they frantically messaged the production team in the chat.

Liu Yi, who had been monitoring the live stream, saw the commotion and immediately tried calling the cameraman. However, the line was busy, and he couldn’t get through no matter how hard he tried.

By then, the man had already raised his hand, the sharp blade of his knife glinting menacingly as he prepared to stab Ye Zhi.

Passing customers witnessed the scene. Amidst their gasps of horror, Ye Zhi swiftly dodged, the blade grazing his cheek as he narrowly avoided the man’s attack.

Before the attacker could react, Ye Zhi spun around and seized him from behind, pinning his arms behind his back. Simultaneously, he warned the onlookers

Everyone, back away! Keep your distance!

Having spent years on the battlefield, Ye Zhi possessed an acute sense of danger. He had sensed something was amiss the moment the man approached.

Rather than prematurely alerting the attacker, he calmly waited for the man to strike. Just as the man relaxed, believing his attack was about to succeed, Ye Zhi launched a sudden counterattack.

The cameraman, distracted by the commotion, froze in shock when he finally realized what was happening.

Startled by what he saw, the cameraman snapped out of his daze and shouted, Watch out!

Ye Zhi had always been confident in his strength, but he never expected his opponent to be even stronger. The man, likely an Alpha, managed to break free from Ye Zhi’s grip.

In that moment of stunned surprise, the man raised his weapon and lunged at Ye Zhi again.

Fortunately, Ye Zhi reacted in time, narrowly dodging the attack. The knife grazed his neck, leaving a long, bloody gash.

Regaining his composure, Ye Zhi grappled with the man, finally disarming him. Bystanders quickly pinned the attacker down.

Hearing the crowd’s screams, Qin Siran and Jin Xi realized they had lost track of Ye Zhi and hurried back in a panic.

Qin Siran rushed to Ye Zhi’s side, asking anxiously, Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

Before Ye Zhi could answer, a collective gasp swept through the crowd, and people scattered in terror.

At the same moment, Qin Siran’s body went limp, his face flushed crimson. He instinctively grabbed Ye Zhi’s arm to steady himself.

Ye Zhi’s expression hardened. He swiftly pulled Qin Siran into his arms, shifting their positions, and kicked out with brutal force, sending a figure flying half a meter.

Qin Siran stared in disbelief. It was the same assailant they had just subdued.

The man’s A-Class Alpha pheromones still lingered in the air.

The person who had restrained him earlier was likely only a B-Class Alpha, now long gone with the dispersing crowd. No wonder this man had managed to break free.

Just then, Jin Xi arrived, his S-Class Alpha pheromones erupting simultaneously. The crisp citrus scent pinned the assailant in place, rendering him immobile.

With lightning reflexes, Jin Xi pinned the man’s arms behind his back and demanded fiercely, Who are you?

As he spoke, Jin Xi yanked off the man’s baseball cap, revealing a gaunt face.

I’m Xiao Qin’s fan, the man declared, his gaze burning with fervor as he turned to Qin Siran. Xiao Qin, I’ve loved you for so long! Please, be with me!

So, it was a stalker fan.

Though drained of strength, Qin Siran still managed to roll his eyes, not even bothering to reply.

Rejected by the Omega he idolized, the man instantly lost control. Why?! I love you so much! Omegas should submit to Alphas! You can’t refuse me!

What kind of dog would say something like that?

Ye Zhi couldn’t stand it any longer. He stepped in front of Qin Siran, his usually smiling eyes now cold and impassive. You’re not the only Alpha here. Why should Brother Qin agree to you? Because you’re going crazy? Or because you’re talking complete nonsense?
