After the Scum Alpha Picked Up Her Rival Omega - Chapter 11

A beauty emerging from a bath, skin as white as snow.

Si Xia was very self-aware; she didn’t steal a second glance. She quickly turned her feline body around and let out a regretful, “Meow…”

I played myself.

Although Si Xia had closed her eyes quickly, she had seen everything she should and shouldn’t have seen.

If Ming Ruixue found out her rival had seen her body, who knew what kind of demands she would make? After all, an Alpha who demands “compensation for mental distress” over a single kiss couldn’t be very magnanimous.

But on second thought, during Si Xia’s first night at Ming Ruixue’s house, she had been held captive and felt up from head to toe by Ming Ruixue. Ming Ruixue had even nearly succeeded in “exploring her pearls” that time.

In comparison, Si Xia had only caught a fleeting glimpse and hadn’t even touched her. Si Xia was still the one at a disadvantage.

An eye for an eye—let’s just call it even.

Ming Ruixue ruffled the cat’s head and said softly, “Why are you burying your head? Are you embarrassed?”

Si Xia helplessly covered her face with her cat paws. “Meow~”

Hurry up and put some clothes on, will you?

When Ming Ruixue returned after dressing, she saw the beautiful cat stubbornly burying its face, unwilling to look up. Suddenly finding it a bit funny, she pinched the cat’s chin to smooth its fur and said, “What’s wrong? Do you feel like you did something wrong?”

More than just ‘something.’

Si Xia had originally intended to annoy Ming Ruixue, but she hadn’t expected such an accident.

Si Xia blinked her eyes and acted spoiled, rubbing her head against Ming Ruixue’s neck. She was milky and docile, perfectly portraying a posture of admitting fault.

How could Ming Ruixue resist such nuzzling from a little kitten? Her heart nearly melted. “Xiao Si, so you can actually be this well-behaved.”

Xiao Si?

This was the first time Si Xia had heard Ming Ruixue call her that.

Is this rival doing it on purpose? Giving a cat the same name as her was truly a bit irritating.

Ming Ruixue cupped Si Xia’s cheeks and gave them a kiss. “You’re much cuter when you’re not being fierce.”

Si Xia’s blue eyes widened. How could she kiss her without permission?

And “cute” was practically her middle name, okay? She didn’t need her rival’s praise.

When you praise a cat for being cute, it will proudly tilt its head up. Ming Ruixue was nearly dying from the cuteness.

Since several cat toys had already arrived at the house, Ming Ruixue said excitedly, “Finally, I can do some pleasant things to the cat.”

“Meow?”

Si Xia’s thick lashes lifted. What was this rival going to do? What “inhumane” things was she planning for the cat?!

The next second, Ming Ruixue appeared with a teaser wand and a ball of yarn.

Si Xia: “…” What the…

Go use those things to tease other stupid cats.

“Xiao Si, look over here.” Ming Ruixue waved the teaser wand, the fluffy little feathers fluttering in the air.

Si Xia squatted on the floor, motionless. What’s so fun about this?

Only little kittens like that sort of thing. She was a human; how could she possibly like a teaser wand?

“Why isn’t Xiao Si catching it?” Ming Ruixue waved it a few more times. “Does the little milk-meow not like this?”

Disappointed, Ming Ruixue swapped it for a yarn ball. “Xiao Si, do you like this one?”

Si Xia boredly licked the back of her hand. Why is this rival so obsessed with teasing cats?

Seeing as this “Meow” accidentally saw your physical body, I’ll reluctantly play with you once as an apology.

Just as Ming Ruixue was about to coax the cat to play, the beautiful cat silently sharpened its claws and then pounced. Her two paws pushed the yarn ball back and forth. After playing for a bit and finding it too childish, she simply flipped onto her back and spun the yarn ball with all four paws.

“So amazing, Xiao Si!” Ming Ruixue clapped, pleasantly surprised. “You even know acrobatics.”

Si Xia raised her head. That’s right, rival, go ahead and worship me!

“Xiao Si, do you want to play with this?” Ming Ruixue picked up the teaser wand again, waving it in front of the cat. “Kitty, want to give it a try?”

Si Xia scratched her ear with a hind leg. Fine, fine, I’ll reluctantly play with you once.

Ming Ruixue waved the wand rapidly. Si Xia’s blue eyes followed the frequency. Catching the right moment, she let out an “awoo” and pounced, accurately biting the feathers of the wand.

Ming Ruixue was stunned. “Are you really this skilled?”

Does that even need to be said?

Si Xia proudly let go, and Ming Ruixue continued to do “excessive” things to the cat.

“Xiao Si, shake hands,” Ming Ruixue coaxed in a low voice. “You’re so smart, you should know how, right?”

Si Xia was a kitten who simply couldn’t resist praise. She proudly extended her paw to shake.

“Spin.”

“Lie down.”

Ming Ruixue casually threw the yarn ball. “Xiao Si, go fetch it.”

Wait, I feel like I’m being played.

Si Xia sat in place, huffing. Rival, don’t go too far.

Ming Ruixue saw that the beautiful cat was losing interest and compromised. “I won’t tease you anymore. Are you tired?”

You finally noticed!

Si Xia had played with her rival for a long while; her cat legs were weak from running. How could she not be tired? Not only tired, but sleepy.

She hadn’t rested well in the hospital today, and the effect of the special medicine suppressing her Omega heat was about to wear off.

Si Xia dizzily curled into her rival’s embrace. Surrounded by the pleasant scent of catnip pheromones, she felt like she was in heaven. Her tail perked up in comfort. So fragrant—

With the beautiful cat actively throwing itself into her arms, Ming Ruixue couldn’t resist flipping over its belly and burying her face in it for several deep huffs.

“So fragrant…” Milky and sweet.

Ming Ruixue tapped her finger on the cat’s pink nose. The more she looked, the more she liked it; the more she smelled, the more addicted she became.

“Meow meow meow?”

Si Xia let out a soft, milky cry. She had been sleeping soundly in the mint-scented embrace, only to be inexplicably “huffed” on her belly by her rival.

She came today to play a prank on her rival, but in the end, she was the one being toyed with.

Si Xia frowned in collapse, let out a “Meow-ooh,” and lunged into Ming Ruixue’s arms, huffing the catnip pheromones with all her might. This time, I’m going to huff enough to make it worth it!

For a cat in heat, just sniffing an Alpha’s pheromones is useless for a cure; the only effect is temporary soothing.

It was fine to pounce and sniff openly at night, but during the day, if the Omega got close to Ming Ruixue, her whole body would go weak. At that time, it wouldn’t be soothing—it would be stimulating.

To completely relieve an Omega’s heat, one needed the mark of an Alpha with extremely high compatibility.

Si Xia shuddered. Being marked by my rival? I’d rather die.

The next morning, when Ming Ruixue woke up, the bedroom was very quiet.

The beautiful cat was gone again?!

Ming Ruixue rubbed the top of her head, feeling depressed. “Does this cat think my house is a temporary shelter?”

But that wasn’t the most important part. The important part was that the catnip plant on her nightstand was missing several parts. On the floor below the table lay several mangled leaves.

“No way?” Ming Ruixue picked up the catnip plant with trembling hands, her voice shaking. “Bald… it’s bald?!”

To be accurate, it was only half-bald.

She, a thousand-year-old catnip spirit, had her leaves scratched off by a cat. If word got out, she’d be the laughingstock of the plant world.

Ming Ruixue stroked the catnip leaves heart-brokenly, when she suddenly felt a faint itch on the side of her neck.

Why did it feel like someone was huffing her?

Where did the other half of my catnip go?!
