After Becoming an Alpha Upon Meeting an Alpha - Chapter 14

She fell silent again and again, but in the end, she still pushed Su Cha away.

“Don’t say things that make people misunderstand.”

Su Cha: “?”

Leng Zhuoyan turned her head aside, the tips of her ears slightly red. Across two lifetimes, no one had ever said such straightforward words to her. Even back when she was with Qu Yanting, she had never heard this kind of confession.

After Qu Yanting used her family’s power to force her into an engagement, Leng Zhuoyan no longer had any goodwill toward her. After the engagement, she had never done anything with Qu Yanting that went beyond emotions either.

So when it came to feelings, she was still very passive.

Perhaps because she had gotten used to being an omega, she had not yet fully changed her way of thinking.

But Su Cha was broad-minded and did not care about these things. Fine, if she did not want her to say it, then she would not say it. It was no big deal.

Although the other party’s face did indeed fit her mate-selection standards very well, and although she felt very distressed over what Leng Zhuoyan had experienced, right now she herself was the person who had caused the other party psychological trauma. She did not think it was a good thing for her to get too close to Leng Zhuoyan.

From the moment she arrived, this book had already been overturned once. She could no longer figure out what these people’s true personalities were actually like. The only thing she could do was try her best to stay far away from the source of disaster.

She did not want to become a stepping stone in the relationship between the two protagonists.

She obediently nodded. “All right. I won’t say it again.”

“Mm.”

“I’ll leave first. I’ll get the things you asked for as soon as possible.”

Leng Zhuoyan, who did not understand why she actually felt wronged, hurriedly changed the topic. Su Cha did not understand why, and thought Leng Zhuoyan was very eager to contribute to the planet, so she nodded in agreement.

Leng Zhuoyan left in a flustered stride. When she passed by the fake garden in front, her gaze met Norma’s, who was sitting on a bench. Norma smiled lightly at her and waved goodbye.

Looking at the other party’s weak, hanging legs, a trace of pity flashed through Leng Zhuoyan’s eyes. After nodding in acknowledgment, she left.

66 was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the fake flower it had just pulled out and handing it to Norma. It asked, “Still playing?”

Norma accepted the lifelike fake peony and shook her head. “No. Let’s go find Sister.”

“All right.”

66 carried Norma back to the main hall. Su Cha was holding the little shovel again and preparing to go out. Seeing Norma and 66 come in, she smiled and asked, “Norma, you’re not playing anymore?”

“No. I’ll go with Sister.”

Norma handed the flower in her hand to Su Cha, her face full of obedient sweetness.

“It’s so pretty. Thank you, Norma.”

Su Cha accepted it and casually inserted it gently into the simulated vase on the table. “All right, then Norma can come outside with me.”

“Sister, what are we going to do?”

Su Cha said, “First, we’ll go take a look at the land.”

The little garden in front was full of fake flowers. She was too lazy to pull them out, so Su Cha went directly to the backyard.

The backyard was a barren expanse. Fortunately, for some unknown reason, the soil here was quite fertile. With one shovel, Su Cha easily pried up a piece of earth.

The soil here was very dry. Su Cha picked up a clod of soil and rubbed it. The clod immediately turned into powder.

Su Cha furrowed her brows. This kind of land could not be used to plant things.

“66, bring over the Zerg corpse.”

“Yes.”

66 placed Norma on top of its head, letting her sit on its shoulders. Then it took out a Zerg corpse more than two meters long from its space twist.

As soon as Su Cha’s hand touched it, she felt an inexplicable attraction coming from the corpse. A magical force surged into her heart and slid into the Classic of Mountains and Seas hidden inside her mind.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas opened to the first page. The Zhuyu grass on it gradually changed from illusion into reality.

Once it fully emitted light, Su Cha seized the chance and pulled it out in one motion.

The Zhuyu grass released a pulling force, but in the end, Su Cha still pulled it out completely.

It was a leaf that looked like a dull yellow stalk of chives. The leaf was soft, and bright green little flowers bloomed on top of it.

When Norma saw this scene, her whole person fell into shock. Her small hands covered her mouth.

A plant. That was a plant!

Plants were very expensive, so most of the time, only rich people could afford to use them. On a planet like theirs, aside from water, all plants were fake.

And now, she had seen a real plant.

“Eat it and you won’t be hungry. Is that true or fake?”

Su Cha looked at it left and right, but still felt that this “chive” was unreliable. It couldn’t be a scam, right?

She looked at the abundant energy inside the first page of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and decided to sacrifice one first.

So she opened her mouth and took a raw bite out of the Zhuyu grass, which had three leaves.

Although Zhuyu grass looked like chives, it did not taste the same. When it entered her mouth, there was none of the astringency or spiciness of raw chives, only the refreshing sweetness of a plant. Only after tasting it for a long while could she barely detect a bit of chive flavor.

Because of this, Su Cha almost thought this was actually some improper grass hybridized with chives.

The taste was not bad, but it could not exactly be called delicious either.

However, after eating it, her stomach felt warm, and a sense of fullness came from the bottom of her heart, making her open her mouth and burp with a chive flavor.

“Mm, not bad.”

She beckoned to Norma. “Norma, have you eaten?”

Norma had already drunk nutrient solution, but she was still very interested in the Zhuyu grass in Su Cha’s hand.

“Sister, what is this?”

66 knelt on both knees in front of Su Cha, and Norma followed its line of sight to look at the grass in Su Cha’s hand.

“This is called Zhuyu grass. If you eat it, you won’t be hungry.”

Su Cha said, “But you’ve already drunk nutrient solution. If you eat more, you’ll be too full. Eat it when you’re hungry.”

Norma looked at Su Cha eagerly. “Oh. Then does it taste good?”

Su Cha smacked her lips and recalled the taste. “It’s all right.”

This was a finished product taken directly out, not a seed.

What Su Cha actually wanted more was seeds. Only seeds could allow for sustainable development.

After that, she calmed her heart and carefully used her mental power to explore the Zhuyu grass page in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. She searched here and there and finally found a tiny grass seed. She was delighted. As expected, this thing did have seeds.

The seed of the Zhuyu grass looked very ordinary, just like a chive seed. If they were placed together, no one could see the difference at all.

However, the Zhuyu grass seed carried its own fragrance. It was hard to say what exactly the fragrance smelled like, but in any case, it was mysterious.

She placed the seed into a small printed basin filled with soil that had been dug out and specially loosened, then poured water on it. After the seed absorbed the water, it let out a faint shout:

[Give me more water! Don’t be so stingy. This little bit of water isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!]

Su Cha: “…”

Thinking she had heard wrong, she dug at her ear and listened carefully. That voice was still continuing.

[What are you looking at? I’m talking to you. Hurry up and water me! Give me more! You’re already an adult, so stop being so stingy. Since you brought me out, you have to take responsibility and raise me until I grow up!]

Su Cha: “…”

She looked at Norma and 66, who had been staring at her, and asked, “Did you… hear a voice?”

66 said, “No.”

Norma said, “No.”

The Zhuyu grass’s young and arrogant voice continued dancing wildly.

[They can’t hear me. Only you can. Hurry up and water me!]

Su Cha: “…”

Very good. Only she could hear this thing.

Norma was a little worried. “What’s wrong, Sister?”

“Scanning the area.”

Red light flashed in 66’s eyes as it scanned the surroundings. It did not find any suspicious objects.

“Scan complete. No suspicious objects or people found.”

“It’s nothing. Maybe I heard wrong. You two go over there. I’ll handle things here. Anyway, there’s only one seed.”

Su Cha did not want to mention that she could hear the voice of plants, so she changed the topic. “Right, 66, after you decompose the Zerg corpse, scatter the ashes throughout the backyard. Remember not to miss any spots.”

“These are all nutrients. Wasting them is shameful.”

66 said, “Yes.”

Norma asked, “Sister, is scattering the Zerg corpse into the soil really useful?”

The empire had tried this method before, but it had not worked at all.

Su Cha said, “Different places, different materials, and different effects.”

She picked up Norma, carried her with one hand, and held her self-made watering can with the other as she watered. “Maybe this place can’t absorb it, but other places can.”

[Gulp, gulp!]

[Burp—]

[Enough, enough. I’m stuffed. If I drink any more, I’ll split open.]

The Zhuyu grass seed, which had absorbed enough water, immediately let out a stopping sound. Su Cha withdrew the watering can, which did not have a single drop left, and looked at the soil in the basin, which was only wet on the surface. She smiled.

Norma, who was worried at the side, said, “Sister, if you water it this much, the seed will get soaked rotten.”

“It’s fine. This kind of grass needs a lot of water to survive.”

“Come on. Let’s go back first. It should probably sprout by tomorrow.”

Su Cha sensed the active seed in her mental sea and felt that based on its growth speed, it might mature the day after tomorrow.

.

Early on the third morning, Su Cha had just woken up when a transport ship entered Water Blue Planet.

The citizens of Water Blue Planet took out their weapons one after another, afraid that it was star pirates again.

Leng Zhuoyan, who followed them out to check, took out a telescope and looked at the peach blossom pattern on the transport ship. Knowing that this was a ship delivering goods from the Tao family, the empire’s largest delivery network, she comforted them, “That isn’t a star pirate. It should be the things Su Cha bought arriving.”

“The planet lord’s purchases arrived? With such a huge display, don’t tell me she really bought flying vehicles?”

“Impossible, right? Wasn’t she driven out of the Su family? How could she still be this rich?”

“If you’re so curious, why not go take a look?”

The last person’s words sparked everyone’s interest, and one by one, they ran toward Su Cha’s manor.

Bang, bang!

The courier held the delivery slip and knocked on the gate. 66 quickly opened the door. “Who is it?”

The courier was an A-rank alpha. Dressed in a uniform, she said expressionlessly, “Tao Family Express. Is this Miss Su Cha’s home? There is a delivery for her. The recipient must sign for it personally.”

Su Cha hurried over. After checking the quantity, she signed her name on the delivery slip.

“Thank you. Please give us a five-star review.”

The courier said, “Young Master said that you bought quite a lot of things, so he sent you some gifts. They are all in the space twist. Where should they be placed?”

“Put them at the gate.”

There was no place to put them inside the house either. In any case, she would be building a school later, and while she was at it, she could also build a flying vehicle station specifically to store the flying vehicles used for pickup and drop-off.

She could not let people drive them home. Otherwise, it would make people develop a sense of ownership.
