After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 8

The smell of hyacinth flowers overpowered the foul stench of wet, rotten dirt. Lu Yaoyi’s body, rendered limp and powerless by the heat, couldn’t even manage to crawl.

But the moment the male Alpha, like a beast that had caught its prey, lunged at her, she found a burst of strength from somewhere and suddenly raised her feet to push against him. She held her hands tightly over the scent gland on her neck, stubbornly resisting the Alpha who was trying to forcibly mark her.

There was only one thought in her mind: she absolutely could not be marked by this male Alpha.

In this life, she only wanted to be Jiang Youli’s Omega.

Even if Jiang Youli differentiated into an Omega, even if she would never be marked by an Alpha, and even if she had to rely on suppressants to control her heat for the rest of her life.

She still only wanted to be an Omega who belonged solely to Jiang Youli.

This had been her wish since she was a child.

What’s more, Jiang Youli was watching her right now.

She fought back with all her might, despite her dizzying consciousness and a weak body.

“Go away… don’t come near me…”

Under the stimulation of Jiang Youli’s sudden appearance, the male Alpha had become a complete madman. He lunged at Lu Yaoyi, grabbing her collar, and then tried to pry her hands away from her gland to forcibly mark her. However, the S-class Omega beneath him was extremely resistant. Her legs, pressed together, kicked his chest repeatedly, not letting him get close.

The air was filled with the scent of hyacinths.

Lu Yaoyi’s pheromones completely overwhelmed his sanity, sending him into a heat as well.

His crimson eyes were filled with the greed of a jackal.

He roared uncontrollably, “You’re my Omega…”

“Yaoyao…”

“You can only be my Omega!”

Lu Yaoyi’s S-class Omega physique required a much larger dose of suppressants to suppress her heat than a regular Omega. Now, with no suppressants to quell the heat, her entire body was so hot she was on the verge of fainting. Yet, she still desperately covered the gland on her neck to protect herself. “Get away… don’t touch me…”

She would rather die than be marked by this perverted male Alpha.

Jiang Youli rode her bike toward the Alpha.

She saw him lunging at Lu Yaoyi, trying to violate her.

She was absolutely furious.

“Damn it!”

Fearing she might accidentally hurt Lu Yaoyi, she slammed on the brakes just before hitting them. She then quickly took off her backpack and charged toward him, raising her arm and using all her strength to slam the bag hard on his head.

The next second, she threw the backpack aside, wrapped her arms around the Alpha’s neck from behind, and dragged him backward. “I told you not to f*cking touch her, are you looking for a death wish?!”

The Alpha’s throat was choked from behind, making it hard to breathe.

He could only let go of Lu Yaoyi and grab Jiang Youli’s arms as she dragged him away.

Lu Yaoyi lay half-reclining on the ground, leaning against the wall, no longer in the Alpha’s grasp. But his pheromones were still scorching her gland, and the heat within her body couldn’t be relieved. She felt like she was being roasted over hot coals.

Her limbs were weak, and her entire body was burning.

She was so uncomfortable she felt sleepy.

The Alpha’s body was tall and strong, and Jiang Youli, being a regular female Beta, was no match for him. He was choked and dragged for two or three meters before he struggled to get back on his feet and elbowed Jiang Youli in the stomach.

Jiang Youli let out a painful grunt but continued to hold on to his neck and drag him back, creating more distance between him and Lu Yaoyi.

The Alpha, still choked, elbowed Jiang Youli a few more times.

A sharp pain shot through Jiang Youli’s stomach.

The Alpha took advantage of Jiang Youli’s momentary loss of strength, quickly pried her arms off him, and then turned around and kicked her in the stomach.

The kick sent Jiang Youli off balance, and she fell backward, hitting the ground hard.

The pain distorted her face.

Lu Yaoyi, leaning against the wall, saw everything. She watched Jiang Youli, who was lying on the ground holding her stomach, her heart aching with sadness. A tear fell from her eye as she moved her lips, making a very faint sound.

“Don’t… don’t hit her…”

She wanted to help.

But she was powerless and couldn’t do anything.

The Alpha was so focused on marking Lu Yaoyi that he didn’t bother with Jiang Youli. He turned and walked toward the weakened Lu Yaoyi, his eyes still burning with excitement and greedy red light. The smug smile on his face completely revealed his malicious nature.

Lu Yaoyi, whose delicate and enchanting features were heightened by her heat, captivated him.

His heart was melting.

“Yaoyao, I’m going to mark you right in front of Jiang Youli today.”

He wasn’t unaware of the consequences, but if it weren’t for Jiang Youli, he wouldn’t have done this. He truly couldn’t stand the thought of Lu Yaoyi liking Jiang Youli, who would differentiate into an Omega, and thus wasting her precious S-class Omega resources by degrading herself.

He was going to save Lu Yaoyi.

So, he was willing to go to jail as long as he could bring Lu Yaoyi down with him.

Once Lu Yaoyi became his Omega, nothing else mattered.

Jiang Youli looked at the Alpha’s back and gritted her teeth. Her eyes then fell on Lu Yaoyi. Lu Yaoyi, lying on the ground looking so fragile, fueled the fire in her eyes. She got up, a mess, and quickly charged toward the Alpha.

She would absolutely not let this perverted Alpha violate Lu Yaoyi.

Lu Yaoyi’s cheeks were flushed with a beautiful crimson.

She leaned against the wall, scared. Her heart trembled as the Alpha stared at her. Her body was powerless, and she felt so weak she could fall asleep at any moment.

Tears welled in her eyes, and her weak voice was tearful.

“Go away… don’t come near me…”

“Yaoyao,” the Alpha said with a low laugh, “blame Jiang Youli for this.”

He walked up to Lu Yaoyi and was about to squat down to touch her.

Jiang Youli suddenly charged and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Due to the immense impact, the Alpha lost his balance and stumbled to the side, unable to stand his ground. Both of them fell to the ground together.

“Run!” Jiang Youli yelled, holding on to the Alpha. “Lu Yaoyi, run!”

She knew she couldn’t stop this perverted Alpha.

So, the only thing she could do was make Lu Yaoyi escape. And since Lu Yaoyi was already in heat, even though she couldn’t smell the pheromones, she knew that Lu Yaoyi must have released her pheromones. That was an S-class Omega’s pheromones. Almost no Alpha could resist them.

The Alphas nearby who smelled Lu Yaoyi’s pheromones and lost control would be arriving soon. At that point, Lu Yaoyi would be in even greater danger. The only solution was for Lu Yaoyi to get home. At least her home would be much safer than being outside.

“Just two more alleys and you’ll be home.”

“Lu Yaoyi, hurry and run home, lock the door, and don’t worry about me!”

“Hurry and run, Lu Yaoyi!”

But Lu Yaoyi didn’t respond.

Her head was getting heavier, and her eyelids were getting more tired.

The Alpha’s pheromonal attack made her gland burn intensely. She looked at Jiang Youli, who was holding onto the Alpha, and her vision became blurry. Finally, under the influence of her heat, she fainted on the ground.

Jiang Youli saw Lu Yaoyi faint and yelled anxiously, “Lu Yaoyi!”

The Alpha regained his senses and forcefully pushed Jiang Youli away.

“Jiang Youli, you ruined my plans. Get the f*ck out of my way!”

Even though Jiang Youli had used all her strength to stop the Alpha, she was no match for him. A Beta’s physique was far inferior to an Alpha’s.

Especially a girl like her.

Soon, the Alpha broke free from Jiang Youli and got back on his feet.

Jiang Youli also got up and clung to the Alpha’s waist, gritting her teeth and threatening him. “If you dare touch a single hair on Lu Yaoyi, I’ll f*cking kill you!”

The Alpha already harbored a deep resentment toward Jiang Youli. Seeing her so desperately protecting Lu Yaoyi, he suddenly understood why Lu Yaoyi liked Jiang Youli. This completely enraged him with jealousy and fueled his murderous intent.

He sneered. “Kill me? I’ll f*cking kill you right now!”

With that, he slapped Jiang Youli across the face.

Jiang Youli’s left cheek burned, and a coppery taste filled her mouth.

The Alpha gave her no time to catch her breath. He grabbed her hair, pushed her against the wall, and then wrapped his hands around her neck, looking like he was determined to choke her to death. “Who the f*ck do you think you are, Jiang Youli?”

Jiang Youli’s face was turning crimson from being choked.

It felt like her scalp was about to be ripped off by the Alpha.

She grabbed the Alpha’s hands but couldn’t get free. Although she had gotten into fights with people before, her friends always did the fighting for her. She had never thrown a punch or been hit herself. Now she finally knew what it felt like to be beaten.

Her breathing became difficult.

It felt like her neck would be broken at any moment.

The Alpha, who had completely lost his mind, now only wanted to drag Jiang Youli to hell with him. “Let me tell you, Jiang Youli, Lu Yaoyi can only be my Omega. I’m going to f*cking choke you to death today. When you’re dead, Lu Yaoyi won’t be able to li…”

Before he could finish, the Alpha’s face suddenly turned pale. He let go of Jiang Youli and grabbed the scent gland on his neck.

His whole body, as if entangled by countless vines that shot up from the ground, knelt to the ground uncontrollably and couldn’t move. A powerful, high-level Alpha’s presence made him feel terrified.

The entire alley was instantly filled with the scent of the ocean.

Jiang Youli, who couldn’t smell pheromones, didn’t understand why the Alpha had suddenly knelt in front of her. She held her neck and coughed a few times, taking in large breaths of air.

It was like being reborn.

A moment later, she saw Jiang Xiyuan slowly walking toward them.

It was Jiang Xiyuan who had saved her.

“Dad…”

Jiang Xiyuan was walking slowly and looked unwell. He was likely affected by Lu Yaoyi’s pheromones. He was holding a spray bottle.

He walked toward Jiang Youli, spraying the air around them with the spray bottle.

Soon, Jiang Youli smelled the Omega-specific scent blocker.

It was her Little Dad’s favorite mango-scented blocker.

“Dingding,” Jiang Xiyuan said, getting closer. “Are you alright? Are you okay?”

Jiang Youli had finally recovered.

She nodded. “Dad, I’m fine.”

Jiang Xiyuan had smelled Alpha and Omega pheromones at home and guessed that an Alpha was harming an Omega nearby. However, the Omega’s pheromones were so powerful that he was barely able to resist them. He had to take three shots of suppressants before he left the house.

He never expected to follow the pheromones and find this scene: his daughter being choked by someone, and Lu Yaoyi lying on the ground unconscious. He stared at the kneeling Alpha. “I’m glad you’re okay.”

If it weren’t for Lu Yaoyi’s pheromones, he would have charged over and killed the Alpha.

The Alpha was completely paralyzed by Jiang Xiyuan’s pheromones.

Other people appeared at the entrances of the alleys, likely other Alphas who had been lured by Lu Yaoyi’s pheromones and had rushed over.

These Alphas looked like they could barely hold themselves up.

And they were all afraid of Jiang Xiyuan’s pheromones.

It was a good thing Jiang Xiyuan had shown up in time.

Otherwise, Jiang Youli alone would not have been able to protect Lu Yaoyi.

Jiang Xiyuan was using the scent blocker to dissolve the pheromones in the air.

Jiang Youli was finally at ease.

She rubbed her neck and the part of her scalp where the Alpha had pulled out a clump of her hair. Then, she raised her leg and kicked the Alpha in the face to vent her anger. The Alpha fell straight down, his head hitting the ground hard. His head was bleeding as he fainted. Jiang Youli wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and rushed to Lu Yaoyi’s side. She picked Lu Yaoyi up and realized she was burning hot. She held Lu Yaoyi’s face and yelled, flustered.

“Lu Yaoyi! Lu Yaoyi!”
