After Becoming an Alpha Upon Meeting an Alpha - Chapter 4
Father Leng sighed. “Only if she differentiates into an omega will the Leng family have hope.”
Omegas were protected by imperial law, and as the family of an omega, they would also receive the empire’s attention. Only then could they avoid being wiped out by their enemies.
The higher the omega’s rank, the more attention they received.
But alphas—sigh. Alphas needed far too much time to grow. They could not afford to wait.
The two people outside both hoped Leng Zhuoyan would differentiate into an omega, but Leng Zhuoyan, who was in the middle of differentiation, did not think so.
Her eyes were icy. In her previous life, she had differentiated into an S-rank omega and gained the empire’s attention.
So what?
She still could not do anything. Omegas were naturally weak, and their strength was not even one percent of an alpha’s. Moreover, even after she differentiated into an omega, without a powerful background, never mind freedom—even her marriage had been arranged for her. She had nothing, and there was nothing she could do.
In her previous life, in order to keep her family’s recipe from being taken away, she had been forced to get engaged to Qu Yanting not long after she differentiated. But Qu Yanting had only liked her on the surface. Behind the scenes, she found one beta after another, and even had a beta give birth to her child.
In the end, when tuberculosis fever came, she finally wanted Leng Zhuoyan to be useful to her.
Heh.
Leng Zhuoyan’s eyes gradually darkened. She did not want to become that kind of useless person who could only be kept at home anymore. She wanted to take control of her own fate again. She never wanted to become someone others could play with like a fool.
Becoming an omega in her previous life had indeed temporarily solved her family’s problems. But among those nobles, which one was easy to deal with?
As long as they wanted something, there was nothing they could not get their hands on. Only when she became strong herself could she protect what she wanted.
The mental power around Leng Zhuoyan flickered. A sweet taste spread through her mouth. Then, a pheromone belonging to an alpha overwhelmingly forced the genes that should have been differentiating toward omega to reverse direction. The scent of an alpha spread outward, announcing that her differentiation had officially succeeded.
Alpha…
Leng Zhuoyan’s eyes flickered.
Something was wrong. Very wrong.
Just now, she had clearly felt that her body was the same as in her previous life, about to become an omega. But a mental power belonging to an alpha had suddenly intruded, directly reversing her omega direction.
It had even…
Leng Zhuoyan looked at her palm.
It had even made her into a powerful alpha. She could be certain that she was absolutely no lower than B-rank. As for her exact rank, she would still need to use a testing instrument to check.
But why?
What was that mysterious power?
She licked her lips, recalling that taste of blood at the crucial moment.
Her own lips were not cut, so where had that bloody taste come from?
Thinking of a possibility, Leng Zhuoyan lowered her head.
After a long while, she let out a soft laugh.
So what if it was that person?
As long as she had become an alpha, that was enough. Nothing else mattered.
Feeling the power of an alpha transforming her body, Leng Zhuoyan was very satisfied.
This was good. This was enough.
Meanwhile, Father Leng and Mother Leng, who had been guarding the door the entire time, both turned pale. In the end, however, they shook their heads as if resigning themselves to fate. Forget it. Forget it. This was all fate.
Besides, this alpha scent was definitely not low-rank. That was enough.
Their Leng family absolutely would not collapse entirely here.
Mother Leng wiped away her tears and shrank into her husband’s arms. “Dear…”
Father Leng gritted his teeth. “It’s fine. Since the other party wants that recipe book, then we’ll give it to them.”
Mother Leng also knew there was no other way, but she still could not help feeling wronged. “But that’s our Leng family’s heirloom.”
“For the sake of our child, we’ll give it to them. Our family will leave the Imperial Capital Planet. We’ll go back to our hometown, Water Blue Planet.”
Although Father Leng also could not bear to part with it, since their child had already differentiated into an alpha, the other party definitely would not let the matter rest. If their child had differentiated into an omega, perhaps out of consideration for the Imperial Omega Protection Organization, the other party might still have been willing to speak properly.
But their child was an alpha—and judging by the scent, not a low-rank alpha either. This represented disaster. The other party would not give their child the chance to grow.
Mother Leng also knew that now was not the time to be sad, so she could only compromise. “All right. I’ll pack immediately and buy the earliest spaceship tickets.”
“I’ll contact them.”
Father Leng’s shoulders suddenly slumped. His whole person seemed to age by countless years. He let out a long sigh and covered his face with his hand. He truly had no way to face his ancestors anymore.
Their family heirloom was actually going to be snatched away just like that. He had no strength to resist, and even had to hand it over voluntarily. No matter who it was, this would be a devastating blow.
The other party had always had people watching them and had long known everything that happened in the Leng family. Naturally, they also knew that Leng Zhuoyan had differentiated today. They simply did not know whether Leng Zhuoyan had differentiated into an alpha or an omega—or whether she had failed outright and become crippled.
Yes, there was a certain chance of failure during differentiation.
Most people who failed would die. Only a small portion would become fools or enter a vegetative state.
Father Leng did not say much about his daughter’s condition. With a cold expression, he handed over the old but extremely well-preserved recipe book. Watching the other party treat it roughly, his heart bled, but there was nothing he could do.
With the recipe book gone, he would have no face to meet his ancestors underground. But if the entire Leng family disappeared together, that would be even more unbearable.
Fortunately, the other party did not exterminate them completely. However, in a humiliating manner, they paid Father Leng one hundred star coins to buy it. Father Leng’s face turned alternating shades of green and white. He wanted to curse, but he could only force it down.
The other party, however, was very happy. After making a few more sarcastic and mocking remarks, they hung up. Father Leng was so furious that he did not even have the strength to end the call.
“They’ve gone too far. They’ve gone too far!”
“Pfft—”
Father Leng spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the ground, unable to move at all.
When Mother Leng came over, she happened to see this scene. She immediately screamed and called emergency services. The hospital quickly sent people to take Father Leng away. As for Leng Zhuoyan, who was still suffering through differentiation, Mother Leng left a note, then followed the doctors to the hospital.
Leng Zhuoyan, who was enduring genetic transformation, had no idea what was happening outside. She worked hard to restrain the desire to destroy something and constantly pushed herself to become stronger.
.
Meanwhile, Su Cha, who was completely unconscious, felt that something was wrong.
The place she was in was a blank expanse. The surroundings were extremely empty, and in front of her stood a book.
On the cover, three large golden characters were written vividly—The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Plant Volume.
“The Classic of Mountains and Seas?”
Su Cha reached out and touched it. The book fell into her hand, and the thin Classic of Mountains and Seas automatically opened to a page.
Su Cha: “…”
No, the original novel didn’t have this kind of plot!
Had she transmigrated into the wrong place or not?
Was this still the plot of If You Love Me, Kiss Me Deeply?
This Classic of Mountains and Seas was different from the one before too. Just like its name, everything drawn in it was a plant from The Classic of Mountains and Seas.
On the first page was drawn a stalk of… chives???
The leaves of this stalk of chives were a dull yellow, but it bloomed with green flowers. Written boldly above it were two characters—Zhuyu.
Beside the large characters were four smaller words—Eat it and hunger will cease.
Su Cha felt like she was a little dazed. Was this the so-called beginner’s golden finger given by the god of transmigration?
It wanted her to farm?
It wanted her, an alpha, to farm?
It wanted her to awaken the farming bloodline of a flower-growing nation?
Please. Before transmigrating, whatever she planted died.
Suddenly, she felt as though her body was moving, as if she had been transferred from one place to another. The process was even rather bumpy.
No way. This cheap father of hers couldn’t really be that wicked, could he? Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to have been running a fever. He wouldn’t have just had someone throw her out like this, would he?
But the more she refused to believe something, the more that thing came true.
When Su Cha barely managed to open her eyes and prop herself up, she saw that she was lying in a cramped little room. She quickly recognized where this was.
Damn it, this was a spaceship!
Which old bastard was sending her where?
Civilian spaceship rooms had windows. They simply could not be opened, but one could see the scenery outside. Enduring her aching weakness, Su Cha climbed up and opened the softening layer over the window. Outside, she saw only a gray haze.
The spaceship had already departed.
It was carrying her somewhere unknown.
Su Cha: “…”
Even if her temper were better, in this kind of situation, she still wanted to viciously curse Su Yunshan, that heartless man. This body was his biological daughter. Even if she had only been born from a small portion of his genes, she was still his biological child!
No matter how much trouble the original owner had caused, he could not just throw her out while she was sick from differentiation!
If not for the fact that in the original novel, Mother Su had taken the original owner for a paternity test as soon as she was born, Su Cha would have suspected that the original owner was actually an illegitimate daughter Mother Su had with someone else.
Su Cha did not have the strength to support herself sitting up for too long. In the end, she could only return to a lying position. She looked at the faint light emitted by her light brain. Although the original owner had been unreasonable, she still understood shame.
So she had deliberately turned off the message sounds on her light brain, and adjusted the light to the weakest level, afraid that others would discover her habit of secretly taking pictures.
Su Cha had not had time to change it, so it remained like this. However, the things inside had already been carefully shredded by the cautious original owner. Only the copies in the robot storage unit in her room had been kept.
When Su Cha looked at the pitiful robot that had been swept out of the house together with her, she immediately felt a little more at ease.
Although this robot could not do anything and was even a type the original owner had specially bought from the black market after cutting off its connection to the imperial network, at least it could talk. That was enough.
66 was still updating and had not yet restarted, so it did not know that it had been packed up and thrown out like trash.
Su Cha reached out and felt the temperature of her forehead. It was still burning hot. She could almost feel that her current condition was extremely poor. Her differentiation had only just succeeded, and her body was in the middle of being transformed. Not only had she not been properly cared for, she had instead been tossed around and displaced.
Heh. If this were said out loud, people would laugh themselves to death. A dignified marshal actually could not tolerate one daughter. Ridiculous.
Fortunately, the room was still equipped with a hibernation pod. Although it had no treatment function, it could still allow her to sleep well.
Now, she had no other option. She could only rely on herself to endure it. In any case, alphas had good physical constitutions.
After barely crawling into the hibernation pod, Su Cha thought to herself: One day, she would definitely make that bastard regret everything in front of her until he cried bitter tears. Then she would ruthlessly reject him and make him understand just how wrong the decision he made today was.
