“Who are you people? Haven’t you heard of the name of the Six Lords of the Seven Districts?”

“Do you dare to meddle in our affairs?”

A few street gangsters approached Chi Ning and Chu Shaochen with baseball bats in their hands and stopped, speaking provocative words in their mouths.

People nearby saw this scene and hid in the nearby shops one after the other, fearing that they would be harmed in the event of a fight.

These individuals had quite a notorious reputation throughout District Seven.

It wasn’t a respected reputation, but rather the fear-inducing reputation of Alpha street bullies.

While their pheromone levels might not be high, for ordinary people, a group of Alphas causing trouble together was intimidating due to their destructive power.

Not to mention these six individuals, each one of them was a reckless daredevil, willing to lay down their lives. Even the Federal Police had no way to deal with them.

Chi Ning caught a whiff of the cheap pheromones in the air, bitter and unpleasant, just like it was described in books.

Only Alphas who indulged in alcohol and lust year-round would emit such an unpleasant scent.

Chi Ning wrinkled his nose, grabbing Chu Shaochen’s arm and positioning himself in front of him.

The leader Alpha could clearly see Chi Ning’s face, a lewd/evil gleam appeared in his eyes as he licked his lips.

“Where did such a beautiful Omega come from? Are you here to pay respects to us and join our gang?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Chi Ning interrupted the other party, “An ugly Alpha like you should be thrown into the garbage instead of making a fuss here!”

What to do, what to do, Chu Shaochen was injured, and there was no way he could handle this group of Alphas alone.

Not to mention a group, even a one-on-one fight would be quite challenging.

Even though his glands can’t release pheromones, it doesn’t mean he can’t smell other people’s pheromones.

At this moment, he finally understood that Chu Shaochen’s pheromone smelled so good.

The scent of Blue Ice Cypress wasn’t pungent but rather carried a cool woody fragrance.

Usually, Chu Shaochen wouldn’t intentionally release it in front of him, but occasionally, he would feel surrounded by the scent of Blue Ice Cypress, faintly perceptible, making the air itself feel soft and dry.

“General, you are injured, leave this group of people to me, you must not do anything.”

Chi Ning stared fiercely at the approaching individuals and whispered to Chu Shaochen, “I’m an Omega. If they harm me, they’ll be sued by the Omega Protection Association!”

“Tsk, little Omega looks quite fierce. It’s fine. I like that. I wouldn’t be interested if you weren’t spicy. Little Chili Pepper, the Alpha behind you looks pale and weak. Follow me, and I’ll give you a good nourishing.”

The leader is a big man with muscles all over his body, “How about—”

“Bah! Keep dreaming!” Chi Ning opened his arms to protect Chu Shaochen behind him.

Chi Ning stared wide-eyed as the big man took another two steps forward. He quickly scanned the surroundings and realized that not only people but also cats and dogs had hiding away.

These people are being unreasonable, they must be quite detestable.

“You have no manners, you Omega. If it weren’t for your good looks, I would chop you up right here!” The big guy was provoked by an Omega, his face turned red and his neck became thick with anger, “You two, go and bring him to me. Throw that useless Alpha into the river to feed the fish.”

Chi Ning grabbed Chu Shaochen’s hand senselessly when he heard this, “Run! A wise man knows when to retreat. Revenge can wait for ten years. Don’t try to be a hero!”

Even a top-tier Alpha could be outnumbered and overwhelmed when injured.

There’s a saying that goes, “Two fists are no match for four hands,” and Chi Ning didn’t want to drag Chu Shaochen into trouble.

As long as they managed to escape and lure away this group of people, Tang Xi would be safe.

Chi Ning took a quick step to run outside——

But he got stuck.

Chu Shaochen pulled on his arm, and the sudden tug almost strained his muscles.

Chi Ning looked at Chu Shaochen in a panic and was about to speak, but he held his hand instead and brought him into his arms to hug him.

Chu Shaochen’s slightly deep voice sounded in his ear.

“Be obedient, what are you running for?”

The voice coming from the top of his head tickled his ears. He felt like Chu Shaochen’s breath had fallen directly on his ears when he spoke just now.

“General, are we really not going to run?”

“You’ve already called me a General. Retreating from the battlefield is not in line with the principles of a soldier.”

Chu Shaochen’s voice was lazy and magnetic, tinged with a hint of amusement. He carried himself with a relaxed demeanor, clearly not taking these Alphas seriously.

Chi Ning looked up at Chu Shaochen, and his heart inexplicably calmed down.

Oh, he was so foolish.

Even when injured, Chu Shaochen’s pheromones were overwhelming as a top-tier Alpha. The pheromones emitted by these Alphas before him were at most A-Ⅰ level. How could they possibly withstand Chu Shaochen’s attacks?

He was in the midst of pondering how to educate these delinquents when his wrist was grabbed, and he found himself fitted with a silver bracelet.

A cool sensation passed through his wrist’s skin, and he looked at Chu Shaochen in surprise.

“What is this—”

“It’s the Omega Protection Bracelet, which is still in the experimental stage and is not yet for sale. No Alpha or Beta can approach you once it has been activated.”

Chu Shaochen looked at Chi Ning, and when he saw Chi Ning’s delight, his thin lips curved upwards.

He raised his eyebrows as he noticed the approaching delinquents out of the corner of his eye.

Overestimating themselves.

He had seen far too many people who were terrified of death, but those who actively sought death were new to him.

Chi Ning raised his hand and shook his wrist, feeling even happier than when he was a child and occasionally received care from Ye Ru.

Just as he was about to engage in another verbal confrontation with the Alphas, he noticed that the big guy’s face suddenly turned ugly, as if he had seen a monster.

“You—”

“Who are you?”

“It hurts, it hurts so much!”

“Fuck, all of you attack! If we can get hold of this Alpha’s glands, I’ll give each of you ten thousand star coins.”

The big guy took a few steps back, holding the back of his neck as his eyes filled with greed and fear. “No, a hundred thousand star coins each!”

Upon hearing this, the pale-faced, sweating Alphas under him gritted their teeth and tried to rush forward. However, as soon as they took a step, they fell to the ground, clutching their necks in agonizing pain.

The incident happened in an instant. Taunting words lingered on Chi Ning’s tongue, but before he could utter them, he stood there stunned, his mouth slightly agape.

How did those Alphas suddenly seem as if their glands were being forcibly removed?

Chi Ning abruptly turned his gaze toward Chu Shaochen at that moment. Chi Ning’s heart skipped a beat and his mind went blank when he saw the calm and serene expression on his face.

The scent of Blue Ice Cypress grew stronger, permeating his body through each breath and seeping into his bloodstream through his pores.

His entire being was enveloped by Chu Shaochen’s pheromones.

It felt comfortable and warm.

He didn’t know if this sensation was the same as what others experienced, but he was certain that it was vastly different from those few delinquents from District Seven.

For the Alpha, it would feel like being struck by ice-cold hammers with every inch of their body covered in dense and icy shards when Chu Shaochen released the pheromone to be aggressive.

But the glands were the most terrifying.

Since the emergence of the second gender in humanity, the glands, like any other internal organ, were fragile. Particularly, the small area just beneath the skin at the back of the neck was susceptible to injury.

At this moment, Chu Shaochen’s pheromone was relentlessly attacking the glands of the Alphas in front of him.

Endless and dense ice needles ruthlessly pierced into their glands.

Pain. The pain surged through their limbs and bones.

Chi Ning was wrapped in pheromone and stood safely beside Chu Shaochen. He was not only unaffected, but the lifeless glands on the back of his neck faintly came to life.

Chu Shaochen’s gray eyes were cold, and he wrapped his arm around Chi Ning’s waist, keeping him firmly in his embrace.

Dressed in dark clothing, he blended seamlessly with the night behind him.

That jet-black hair swayed gently with the wind, blending with the flowing aurora.

His gaze held nothing but judgment as he looked emotionlessly at the fallen delinquents struggling to stand, finally showing a hint of mercy.

“Get lost.”

The pheromones in the air dissipated abruptly, leaving only the lingering scent suspended in the air.

The big man stared viciously at Chu Shaochen and Chi Ning, struggling to get up from the ground “Remember, Black Wolf will take revenge. I’ll make you pay for it!”

Chi Ning was startled and looked in the direction where the black wolf was retreating, then looked at Chu Shaochen with concern in his eyes.

His lips were pale due to the chill of the evening. “General, did I cause trouble? I have brought you great trouble. I…”

How did it end up like this?

He had brought Chu Shaochen here with the intention of showing him the chaos in the Seventh District, hoping that he could send someone to improve the security here.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. He didn’t mean to attract enemies for Chu Shaochen, but…

“I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional.”

Chi Ning lowered his gaze, his eyes moist, and his nose turned red. Self-blame and remorse surged, making it impossible for him to think clearly.

“Black Wolf might seek revenge against you. If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to bear it. I would become…”

A disaster in the eyes of all the people of the Imperial Star.

His existence was already different in the eyes of the Chi family, only bringing shame.

Chu Shaochen stared at Chi Ning, furrowing his brows. His eyes showed confusion, helplessness, anger, and finally, tenderness.

How could he give Chi Ning a sense of security so that he could fully trust him?

Chi Ning had not yet reached the age of differentiation when he met him for the first time that year.

The Chi family had not treated him so harshly back then.

In order to avoid being chased by others, he had sneaked into the Chi family’s mansion where they were hosting a banquet, darting around from place to place, until he accidentally entered Chi Ning’s room.

Chi Ning had been a quiet and well-behaved child back then.

Probably because he was tired, he was sleeping alone in the room and only instructed a servant to stand guard outside the door.

Chi Ning rubbed his eyes and sat on the edge of the bed as he entered through the window. He didn’t scream loudly when he saw him, not knowing whether he was scared or slow to react.

After he hastily explained, Chi Ning lifted the bedsheet, allowing him to hide underneath, and quickly covered it up again.

He hid under the bed, exhausted and hungry. He woke up in the middle of the night to find a few candies and cakes by his side, but Chi Ning had already left with his family.

Later, he only inquired about Chi Ning’s affairs intermittently.

“Chi Ning, look at me.”

“…”

Chu Shaochen furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat frustrated.

He has done so much these days, but Chi Ning still didn’t trust him.

Did Chi Ning see him as an Alpha who easily loses his temper? Or did he think that he couldn’t handle even a useless Alpha and would have his glands harvested to be sold on the black market?

Feeling both frustrated and concerned, Chu Shaochen reached out his hand, intending to lift Chi Ning’s face, but a choked cry came from beside them.

Looking displeased, he turned to see a curly-haired Omega rushing over, followed by a small and a big Omega.

“Ningning—”

Like a small projectile, they crashed directly into Chi Ning.

If it wasn’t for him hugging and blocking most of the momentum with his hands, Chi Ning would have been sent flying.

Tang Xi’s eyes turned red as he hugged Chi Ning. “Wuwuwu, I thought those hooligans were going to take you away. It scared me to death!”

He looked at the man next to him, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked Chi Ning in hushed tones, “Are you cheating?”

Chu Shaochen: “…”

I’m not deaf and my hearing is quite good.

Chi Ning, “…”

“No, no, don’t talk nonsense.”

Was it still possible for him to go find a grave site now?
