The Stunning General Finds Himself in a Shura Field on a Dating Show ABO - Chapter 54

The young man analyzed the situation calmly

A year ago, when the late emperor was critically ill, that person knew I was a descendant of Mobei but suppressed the information until I was about to ascend the throne.

Moreover, exploiting our childhood friendship, he successfully drew you into his faction, which ultimately secured his rise to that high position.

The young man plucked a zither string, sending a sharp, resonant zheng through the night air.

I’ve often wondered, if the old Marquis were still alive, would Marquis Jing’an’s Estate still support that person?

A string seemed to snap in his mind.

Yes, if Father were alive, he would never have approved of that child.

The young man on the roof suddenly sat up, reluctant to believe this

If that’s true, why did Brother Yinglian take his own life?

Why did he shoulder the blame for that person?

The young man sighed helplessly, reminding him

The new emperor has now firmly secured his position. The world will never know the truth.

However, because you and the old Marquis had argued the night before the incident, rumors have persisted that you murdered your own father.

Moreover, the new emperor seems intent on weakening you. If Ying Lian doesn’t take the blame, you’ll forever bear the stigma of patricide, facing constant obstruction in court.

Zhi Zhi, Ying Lian isn’t doing this for anyone else. He’s clearing obstacles for you.

The young man froze, muttering in a daze, Brother Yinglian… he actually planned all this.

The youth’s smile faded slightly. I overheard palace maids saying you cried all night the day that actor met his end. He asked softly, If something happened to me, would you be this distraught?

What kind of question is that? Of course I would be devastated.

Thinking the youth might be suicidal, the young man leaped down from the eaves, his expression serious. Don’t do anything to harm yourself. The Little Emperor promised me that after keeping you confined for a few more months to appease the court, he’ll find a way to send you out of the palace.

The youth seemed to acknowledge the words, but his mood remained somber.

Noticing the heavy atmosphere, the young man quickly changed the subject.

Let’s not dwell on such matters. Today is your Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Have you decided on your courtesy name?

The young man’s voice was as cold and clear as moonlight, tinged with a hint of mockery

A mere criminal like me hardly deserves a courtesy name.

This remark seemed to infuriate the youth. He nimbly leaped down from the eaves, his voice sharp with anger

You’re not a criminal! You simply carry a trace of foreign bl00d. How can that be a crime?

With a huff, he sat down beside the young man and pulled a stack of papers from his robes.

I knew you wouldn’t care about this, so I prepared in advance.

He placed the stack before the young man, his tone still tinged with residual anger

Pick one! That will be your courtesy name.

The papers were filled with elegant calligraphy, each sheet bearing a carefully chosen character along with a detailed explanation of its profound meaning, a testament to the writer’s meticulous effort.

The young man seemed momentarily stunned. He lowered his head and began to examine each sheet carefully, turning them over one by one.

The youth’s anger flared quickly but dissipated just as swiftly. A bright smile soon returned to his radiant face as he exclaimed excitedly

There’s one I like the most!

He leaned closer to the young man and rummaged through the stack of papers for a long while before finally holding up a sheet and asking

Mingyuan! Do you like it?

The youth shook his head and explained with a flourish

The moon of the Crown Prince’s Palace shines like frost and snow, illuminating others like a mirror and remaining as still as a deep pool.

The young man remained silent for a long moment, then lowered his gaze and murmured softly

I am no longer the master of the Crown Prince’s Palace. This name is inappropriate.

The smile faded from the youth’s face as he looked earnestly at the young man.

The moon of the Crown Prince’s Palace refers to the moon—to you, not to the title of Crown Prince. You possess the virtues of a wise ruler and the integrity of a noble gentleman. I have admired you since childhood. Only you deserve the name Mingyuan.

Ye Zhi remembered this memory well. It was a year after his father’s death, and the former Crown Prince had been confined to the Cold Palace for nearly a year due to his Mobei bl00d.

That day should have been the former Crown Prince’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony, but no one cared. He didn’t even have a family member to bestow a courtesy name upon him.

Ye Zhi remembered that the night before he left, the Former Crown Prince had warned him again to be wary of the new emperor.

The very next day, the Former Crown Prince of Xia State, a prince of Mobei, rebelled.

As Ye Zhi was lost in thought, a sudden weight settled on his shoulder. He instinctively turned to look.

Qin Siran was there, his brow furrowed and his cheeks flushed an unnatural red.

Ye Zhi immediately asked, Brother Qin, are you feeling unwell?

Qin Siran nodded, grabbing Ye Zhi’s arm urgently. Take me to the infirmary, quick! My heat cycle is about to start.

As soon as he spoke, the white tea pheromone in the air began to fluctuate wildly, threatening to spiral out of control.

Ye Zhi instantly grasped the gravity of the situation.

He remembered that Brother Qin was an A-Class Omega. Now, trapped in a classroom with thousands of people, he would inevitably be swarmed by countless Alphas driven into a frenzy by his heat.

The kitten in his arms had fallen asleep unnoticed. Ye Zhi turned to Xie Shi. Xiao Xie, can you watch the kitten for me?

Before Xie Shi could reply, the kitten had already been placed in his lap.

At the same time, Ye Zhi flustered and in a panic got up, supporting Qin Siran as they hurried out of the lecture hall.

Suddenly removed from the familiar embrace, the sleeping cat woke up groggily.

It glanced around, unable to spot its owner, and began meowing frantically.

Xie Shi picked up the timid cat, watching Ye Zhi’s retreating figure with downcast eyes and silent contemplation.

Ye Zhi had barely led Qin Siran a short distance from the lecture hall when the white tea pheromone in the air suddenly surged uncontrollably.

Qin Siran abruptly pulled the younger man into the nearest empty classroom, his voice weak as he urged, Quick, close the door and windows. Seal in my pheromone.

Ye Zhi immediately locked the door and swiftly shut all the windows in the room.

With everything secured, the younger man looked at Qin Siran, uncertain. Brother Qin, should you stay here while I go to the infirmary for a suppressant?

He immediately contradicted himself, Wait, I remember the infirmary doesn’t have suppressants. I’ll go to a pharmacy outside to get you one…

Ye Zhi’s words were cut short by a sudden wave of wet heat against his neck. He couldn’t finish his sentence.

The Omega, flushed crimson, was embracing the handsome Beta, kissing his pale neck with abandon.

Ye Zhi froze, momentarily forgetting how to react.

This seemed to send the wrong signal to the Omega in heat, making him think he could push further.

Delicate kisses trailed upward from Ye Zhi’s neck, finally settling on the young man’s lips.

Ye Zhi hastily pushed Qin Siran away, his voice panicked

Brother Qin, calm down! I’ll go get you an inhibitor right now.

He turned to run toward the door.

But Qin Siran grabbed him back.

Through recent training, Qin Siran’s strength had increased significantly. Combined with Ye Zhi’s momentary lapse in awareness, the Beta actually managed to pull him back.

Qin Siran lifted his phoenix-shaped eyes, their lustrous depths brimming with desire

No inhibitor… help me, please…

Ye Zhi shook his head repeatedly, emphasizing

I’m a Beta! I don’t have pheromones. I can’t help you!

Qin Siran’s eyes seemed to glisten with tears as he whispered, Xiao Ye… I feel so awful…

He resembled a summer lotus, dew-kissed and swaying precariously, radiating irresistible allure.

Noticing Ye Zhi’s momentary distraction, Qin Siran seized the opportunity and abruptly gripped the back of the boy’s neck.

The sudden choking sensation forced Ye Zhi to tilt his head back. He instinctively gasped for air, like a fish out of water, desperately trying to breathe.

Qin Siran pressed his lips against the boy’s again, his soft tongue deftly darting inside, seizing control of the kiss.

The once-refreshing white tea scent in the air now carried a spoonful of honey, becoming cloyingly sweet and intoxicating.

The pheromones released during an Omega’s heat seemed to possess an aphrodisiacal magic.

As Ye Zhi inhaled the scent, his body grew weak, and waves of heat surged through the back of his neck.

Qin Siran didn’t release his grip, but he loosened his hold, merely cradling the boy’s neck. As Ye Zhi regained his breath, Qin Siran gradually deepened the kiss.

The moment Qin Siran’s tongue invaded his mouth, the intense aroma of white tea nearly overwhelmed Ye Zhi. His inexperienced tongue, as if utterly captivated by the scent, clumsily reached out, only to be immediately ensnared and entwined by Qin Siran’s.

Their lips and tongues danced together, filling the closed classroom with a series of intimate, ambiguous sounds.

Qin Siran’s hand slowly slid downward.

The instant his shirt was lifted, Ye Zhi began to struggle violently.

The kiss had left him numb all over, and the pheromones of an Omega in heat sapped his strength to resist. He could only gasp as Qin Siran withdrew, Stop… We can’t go any further.

Having come this far, Qin Siran was beyond stopping. He nibbled at Ye Zhi’s collarbone, murmuring distractedly, Young Marquis, Ying Lian loves you. Don’t reject me…

The familiar title, the familiar name—memories of the past exploded in Ye Zhi’s mind. The nerves at the back of his neck throbbed, and his glands burned intensely.

Awakened from their slumber, these long-buried memories, combined with the aphrodisiac white tea scent in the air, seemed to instantly ripen his glands.

A rich rose fragrance suddenly emanated from the young man, growing stronger until it nearly overwhelmed the white tea pheromone in the air.

Meanwhile, in the lecture hall, Xie Shi noticed Ye Zhi’s prolonged absence. Recalling the pheromone scent he had detected on Qin Siran earlier, Xie Shi rose from his seat and left the hall.

Cradling the white cat in his arms, he walked out of the lecture hall, murmuring softly

That Omega seems to be going into heat. Your master still hasn’t returned. Could he be getting bullied?

The cat tilted its head, its bright, wide eyes blinking slowly, and let out a soft meow

Meow?

It seemed puzzled by the idea of a Beta being bullied by an Omega.

Xie Shi only smiled, but the smile was chillingly cold.

His expression darkened as he scanned each passing classroom, opening doors to check inside like a wolf hunting its prey, leaving no corner unexamined.

When he reached the third classroom, he tried the door but found it locked from the inside. A faint rose fragrance drifted from the crack beneath the door.
