After Becoming an Alpha Upon Meeting an Alpha - Chapter 11

When Su Cha saw the person who came in behind Wendy, she choked slightly. What a coincidence.

“Su Cha.”

Leng Zhuoyan was calm and composed, as if all the memories of being bullied by the original owner were already in the past.

Su Cha instinctively trembled. She always felt that the current Leng Zhuoyan was a little dangerous. Her small-animal-like sense of crisis made her wary, afraid that the other party was plotting something against her.

“Leng… Leng Zhuoyan.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Su Cha felt that her momentum was already a head shorter than the other party’s, because she had actually stuttered.

Su Cha gave a light cough and was just about to salvage a bit of face when she saw Leng Zhuoyan smile slightly and raise the basket in her hand. Inside was a pile of high-grade nutrient solutions in all kinds of flavors. Although the Leng family had declined, they could still afford this bit of courtesy, especially when it was meant as a favor.

“I heard you’re the planet lord of Water Blue Planet. Just right. It’s also a good thing that the planet lord is someone familiar. Because of many things in the past, there were quite a few misunderstandings between us. Now is the time to resolve them. I hope that, considering I’ll be one of the people under your rule from now on, you can set aside the conflicts of the past.”

“This is a small token from my family.”

The more Su Cha listened, the more she felt something was off. Leng Zhuoyan’s manner was way too saintly, right? This was nothing like the lunatic who had pinned her down in the bathroom and bitten her. They had only not seen each other for a few days. How had the other party changed so quickly?

Although in the original novel, Leng Zhuoyan was indeed this gentle and this saintly. In the end, it was only because the original owner failed to harm her and instead targeted Leng Zhuoyan’s parents that Leng Zhuoyan became completely furious and joined hands with Qu Yanting to kill the original owner.

Although Su Cha had never had much goodwill toward saintly characters in novels, now that she was facing an actual saintly type, Su Cha still felt… as expected, she really hated saints, even if this saint was currently showing goodwill toward her.

Su Cha pursed her lips. “Shouldn’t I be the one saying that?”

Leng Zhuoyan: “?”

Leng Zhuoyan froze for a moment. She had not expected Su Cha to not seize the chance to suppress her. Su Cha had not even acknowledged that it was her fault. But this did not affect her plan.

She once again took the initiative to claim blame. “In the past, I…”

“Leng Zhuoyan.”

Su Cha drew her brows together and looked at Leng Zhuoyan in confusion. The feeling that something was wrong with Leng Zhuoyan was becoming stronger and stronger. Even though this person was now more like the personality described in the book, Su Cha just felt that this was not the real Leng Zhuoyan.

Her intuition told her that the Leng Zhuoyan who had fiercely pounced over in the bathroom and intimidated everyone with a single look—that was the real Leng Zhuoyan.

Leng Zhuoyan smiled. “Mm? You’re willing to forgive…”

Su Cha did not understand. “Why are you acting like this?”

Leng Zhuoyan looked puzzled. “Mm?”

Wendy: “?”

“Is the misunderstanding between you two very deep?”

Wendy misunderstood and thought Su Cha was trying to make things difficult for Leng Zhuoyan. After all, Leng Zhuoyan’s appearance was too deceptive. At first glance, she looked like a fragile little white flower, the kind that would be snapped by a slightly stronger wind.

Meanwhile, Su Cha was the planet lord, and her previous identity was the marshal’s youngest daughter. With such a difference in status, Wendy could not be blamed for thinking too much. But Leng Zhuoyan did not explain anything. She only lowered her eyes and silently confirmed it.

Su Cha: “…”

Wasn’t this less of a saint and more of a white lotus?

“Are you sure you want to act like this? If you act like this, it’ll be very easy for me to want to bully you.”

Wendy: “??”

“What are you saying?”

Leng Zhuoyan’s docile expression stiffened. “…”

The other party’s blunt words pierced through the false image she had put on. Leng Zhuoyan took a deep breath. As expected of Su Cha—one sentence, and she had reversed the situation.

Leng Zhuoyan, who had been oppressed for a long time in her previous life, completely refused to live under someone else’s roof and be slaughtered at will again in this life. Therefore, she could no longer tolerate anyone bullying her.

Su Cha’s words happened to hit her weak point, making her retract all the docility she had pretended to show.

The fake smile on Leng Zhuoyan’s face disappeared, replaced by a calm expression. “How did you notice?”

Su Cha sat in the main seat like an old spirit, picked up a cup of cooled boiled water, and blew on it. “Can’t say.”

Only Wendy, who completely could not understand what riddles they were playing, looked utterly confused. What did this mean? Why were these two speaking so vaguely? She could not understand at all.

“Where’s Norma?”

Since she could not understand, she could only look around, trying to find the child she cared about.

“Aunt Wendy.”

Norma, dressed neatly, was carried out by 66, who had restored its robot body. Her originally messy short hair had been combed neatly, and her dirty clothes had been changed into a dress that Su Cha had asked 66 to go buy overnight from the only supermarket here that sold goods.

The plain, simple long dress covered Norma’s legs, making it impossible to tell that she had a leg disability. A happy smile appeared on Norma’s small face. Anyone who was cared for would feel happy, especially since she had lost her parents not long after birth.

Wendy snatched Norma from 66’s arms and quickly checked her up and down. Only after confirming that Norma did not seem uncomfortable anywhere did she let out a breath of relief. It was good that she was fine.

However, it had only been one night. That was not enough to say Su Cha was a good person.

Maintaining interest for a short period did not count for much. What Wendy wanted was long-term, lasting care.

“Aunt Wendy, Sister treats me very well.”

Although Norma was young, her intuition was better than many people’s. In Su Cha’s view, this was probably because her mental power was relatively high.

As for the fact that this child could not walk from birth, it was probably because her mental power was too high while her body was too weak, so it could not bear the burden. It could only maintain the delicate balance of her body in this way.

Wendy did not treat Su Cha as coldly as she had yesterday, but she also did not accept Su Cha this quickly. She was only much calmer.

“Good girl. This place isn’t suitable for children. Go outside and play for a while. I have something to say to Su Cha.”

Norma looked at Su Cha, who was sitting motionless in the main seat, afraid that she would suffer grievances.

Su Cha smiled gently at her. “Go on.”

Norma softly answered, “Mm.”

66 carried Norma and turned to leave the main hall, placing her in the little garden filled with fake flowers.

Norma looked at 66, who was accompanying her, but her gaze landed in the direction of the main hall, worry in her eyes.

66 was very calm. “You don’t need to worry about Master. She’s very amazing.”

The fact that she had chosen it at a glance from the black market, where it had been disguised as an ordinary butler robot, was enough to prove that Su Cha was not an ordinary person. Moreover, the other party’s sixth sense was indeed accurate, no worse than Norma’s.

It was just that the other party’s mental power was a little low. With A-rank strength, being the planet lord of a border planet was fine. But from its observation, the other party’s goal clearly was not merely to settle in one corner.

The other party might be even bolder than its calculations suggested.

In reality, however, the original owner had only bought 66 because it looked more human, because she had taken a fancy to the fact that it could change its voice and appearance, and because it could disconnect from the star network.

Just like that, a subtle misunderstanding was born.

.

“What did you come to me for?”

Su Cha did not exchange pleasantries and asked directly.

Toward Wendy, who might become one of her subordinates in the future, Su Cha did not want to play games where one person refused to speak and the other had to guess.

Leng Zhuoyan said, “I want to transfer my household registration from the Imperial Capital Planet to Water Blue Planet.”

“I’m afraid that’ll be a little difficult. You know that if Water Blue Planet wants to be able to issue identification proof, it has to reach the most basic standard for habitability.”

Su Cha said with some difficulty, “But clearly, our place doesn’t meet that standard. Besides, the Imperial Capital Planet is a place everyone racks their brains trying to enter. Saying you don’t want it isn’t exactly making things easy for everyone.”

Leng Zhuoyan expressed disdain at this. “Then where is your household registration?”

Su Cha, whose household registration had been forcibly transferred to Water Blue Planet by Su Yunshan: “…”

Mm. Although once she became developed in the future, she would definitely transfer it herself, voluntarily transferring and being forced to transfer were two different things. So this really was something that made people extremely uncomfortable.

Even after Leng Zhuoyan exposed her, Su Cha did not become angry from embarrassment. Instead, she propped up her chin and said leisurely, “So what if mine is on Water Blue Planet?”

“I’m the planet lord. Even if my household registration is on Water Blue Planet, that can’t deny the fact that I’m a legal citizen of the empire. Besides, I’m the planet lord. Isn’t it normal for my household registration to be here?”

Leng Zhuoyan said coldly and arrogantly, “If you can, then I can too.”

“I can spend a sum far higher than the value of this planet in star coins to buy Water Blue Planet from you.”

Su Cha narrowed her eyes. “What, you want to steal my planet?”

Su Cha’s surging pheromones pressed toward Leng Zhuoyan, and Leng Zhuoyan refused to show weakness, releasing her own pheromones to suppress Su Cha.

But clearly, Leng Zhuoyan had miscalculated.

In her perception, Su Cha’s rank was indeed A-, and her strength was lower than hers. Leng Zhuoyan felt that she herself should be S-rank. But the moment their mental powers touched, Leng Zhuoyan frowned. This was wrong. Why was the other party’s mental power fiercer than hers?

“Your condition isn’t right.”

Leng Zhuoyan strode over and grabbed Su Cha’s wrist, her gaze burning. “Your mental power is wrong. What did you do?”

Wendy, who was forced to retreat from the main hall under the pressure of top-tier mental power: “?”

Su Cha also did not know what she had done. She only thought of how, during her differentiation, most of her mental power had flowed into the Classic of Mountains and Seas in her mind. When the remaining portion of her mental power flowed back, she did not know where it had gone. It was as if it had disappeared, which was why her rank was only A-.

And when her mental power touched Leng Zhuoyan’s, she kept feeling a sense of familiarity. The wound on her neck, which she had stopped feeling, began to tingle and ache faintly.

Su Cha looked at Leng Zhuoyan strangely. Her gaze made Leng Zhuoyan tremble all over and feel extremely uncomfortable.

Leng Zhuoyan lifted her chin arrogantly. “What are you looking at?”

Su Cha instinctively answered, “You.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt that something was wrong again.

Sure enough, when she came back to her senses and realized what she had said, Leng Zhuoyan’s expression became complicated again.

Meanwhile, Wendy, standing outside the door: “…An alpha-alpha romance?”

Although in the empire, there had always been more alphas than omegas, so there were also quite a few alphas who got together with alphas, without an omega’s mental power guidance, many alpha-alpha romances eventually ended either in suicide due to the violent turmoil of the mental sea, or in death as both parties lost control because of an alpha’s innate territorial instincts and attacked each other.

Although there were many tragedies involving alpha-alpha romances as examples, this did not stop others from imitating them one after another. After all, when it came to admiring strength, alphas had it even worse.
