My Omega Is A Top Heavenly Master (GL) - Chapter 1

Summer was already unbearably hot, to say nothing of Hu City, a place notorious for its scorching weather. Even in winter, people here still walked around in short sleeves and shorts.

The shabby little car had no air-conditioning and was especially stifling. Mu Baicheng’s tank top was already soaked through with sweat, and even with all four windows rolled down, the oppressive heat had barely eased.

The car gradually left the bustling downtown area and entered the old district, where there were no high-rises. The green light ahead of Mu Baicheng began to flash. Before she could step on the accelerator, only three seconds remained. She slammed on the brakes, and fortunately, the car stopped just before the pedestrian crossing.

“What rotten luck,” Mu Baicheng muttered.

She wiped the beads of sweat from her neck, but the sweat seemed determined to work against her, continuously trickling from her forehead, down her fair, sharply defined jaw, and into her collar. Her entire body felt hot and sticky. She quickly gathered her long hair and tied it up, saving herself from looking quite so bedraggled.

The radio, which had been playing perfectly well, suddenly went on strike. A series of crackling noises announced that it had decided it was done working.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Mu Baicheng smacked the radio. She had only just spent two hundred yuan getting this thing repaired. Why had it suddenly stopped working again?

The traffic light changed color at that moment. Suppressing the urge to curse, Mu Baicheng decided that she would definitely confront the radio repairman tomorrow. She had only just shifted into gear and had not even fully released the brake when a white figure suddenly fell from the sky.

There was an enormous bang.

The white figure crashed squarely onto the hood of Mu Baicheng’s car, caving it in and officially declaring her secondhand Xiali totaled beyond repair.

Mu Baicheng opened the car door in astonishment and stared blankly at the white figure.

It was a woman—or, more precisely, a female Omega dressed in hanfu.

In this world, aside from the two primary sexes of male and female, there were also three secondary genders: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Alphas and Omegas differentiated later in life. Even if two people were the same primary sex, they could still conceive children as long as their secondary genders differed. In fact, secondary gender was considered more important than primary sex.

Mu Baicheng was an Alpha, but she had been born with an underdeveloped gland and could not smell pheromones.

Yet at this very moment, the fragrance of gardenias steeped in peach-blossom wine told her that the woman before her was an Omega.

Mu Baicheng could clearly smell her pheromones.

She pinched her own arm, then glanced around nervously. The surrounding area was filled entirely with short, old houses. Aside from a few utility poles, there was not a single thing at this intersection.

“What am I supposed to do?”

Mu Baicheng bit her fingernail. How was she supposed to explain this to the traffic police?

Was she supposed to tell them, Officer, I didn’t hit her. This Omega fell out of the sky and smashed into my car?

The traffic officer would probably think she was insane.

Mu Baicheng swallowed and approached the hood, gently shaking the Omega.

“Miss? Miss?”

There was no response.

Mu Baicheng’s heart lurched. Oh no. Could this celestial maiden have stopped breathing?

That would make this even more impossible to explain.

Summoning her courage, Mu Baicheng reached out and brushed aside the hair scattered across the Omega’s face. An exquisitely beautiful countenance appeared before her.

The instant she saw the Omega clearly, Mu Baicheng froze.

This Omega possessed a face of almost excessive beauty.

For some reason, a line of poetry slipped into Mu Baicheng’s mind.

“Fragrant mist dampens her cloudlike hair; clear moonlight chills her jade-white arms.”[1]

Just like the woman described in the poem, the Omega was slender, with ink-black hair cascading over her back like seaweed.

Mu Baicheng placed a hand beneath the Omega’s nose, intending to check whether she was still breathing.

Without warning, the Omega opened her eyes.

Those eyes were as proud and aloof as a cold moon. The moment her gaze swept over Mu Baicheng, it seemed as though even the scorching summer heat had been forcibly driven away.

“You’re awake?”

Mu Baicheng’s heart pounded uneasily as she spoke in a tentative voice.

The Omega stared directly at her. Her expression was calm and unruffled, yet a faint trace of murderous intent lurked beneath that stillness.

When the Omega did not respond, Mu Baicheng assumed she had injured her head. Placing a hand on the woman’s shoulder, she asked, “Are you all right? You’re still so young. Whatever happened, you shouldn’t have—”

Mu Baicheng abruptly stopped.

That did not sound right either.

There were no high-rise buildings around here, and this young woman had fallen directly from the sky.

Had she jumped from somewhere?

Mu Baicheng asked herself that question, but it did not seem to make any sense.

She scratched her head. Although she was only a half-baked practitioner, she could still be considered a Daoist priest. Even so, this was undoubtedly the strangest thing she had encountered throughout her entire professional career.

The Omega’s sharp gaze fell upon the paw Mu Baicheng had placed on her shoulder. After a long while, she narrowed her eyes and looked down at her own hands with a complicated expression.

Her behavior was rather strange.

After examining her own hands, she looked at Mu Baicheng’s.

“Are you sure you’re all right?” Mu Baicheng asked with concern.

The Omega raised her head and abruptly seized Mu Baicheng’s hand. Her skin was slightly cool as her fingers slipped into Mu Baicheng’s sweat-damp palm.

Flustered, Mu Baicheng tried to pull free. She had never been this close to someone of the opposite secondary gender before.

What was she doing?

Mu Baicheng’s heart pounded like a drum.

The Omega suddenly leaned closer, her tranquil eyes studying Mu Baicheng’s face.

She tilted her head, then wrapped an arm around Mu Baicheng’s neck. Her voice was soft, yet as cool and clear as the bright moon.

“My Alpha.”

Mu Baicheng’s entire body stiffened.

Never in her wildest imagination had she expected the situation to suddenly develop in this direction.

How had things turned out like this?

“Miss, please don’t call me that so carelessly.”

Mu Baicheng tried to pry the Omega off her, but the young woman refused to cooperate. Instead, she held on tighter and tighter until she was practically hanging from Mu Baicheng’s body.

The Omega’s body was cool. Having her clinging to her did not make Mu Baicheng feel hotter. On the contrary, it was rather comfortable.

Still, Mu Baicheng knew she could not allow things to continue like this.

This young woman had fallen from the sky, and no matter how Mu Baicheng looked at it, she clearly was not entirely lucid. It would be best to take her to the police station.

Having made her decision, Mu Baicheng called her insurance company and asked them to send someone to tow her car away. Then she took the Omega to the local police station by taxi.

The fifteen-yuan fare made Mu Baicheng’s heart ache throughout the entire journey.

That was enough to cover a full day’s meals!

“My Alpha,” the Omega repeated, burying her small face against Mu Baicheng’s neck.

I made the right decision.

Mu Baicheng instantly stopped mourning the money. This young woman was the real trouble here.

She would never forget the look the taxi driver gave her when she paid the fare.

That gaze clearly said, You aren’t a human trafficker, are you?

Mu Baicheng rolled her eyes at the driver, then gestured toward the brightly illuminated sign of the police station behind her.

Had he ever seen a human trafficker personally deliver someone to a police station?

She thought the human-trafficker misunderstanding would end there, but when they met the neighborhood patrol officer, she saw the exact same look again.

The young female officer suspiciously glanced back and forth between them.

This Alpha—well, she certainly was beautiful. She had striking features and the mature air of an older-sister type, though she looked rather disheveled at the moment.

But the Omega was as beautiful as a celestial maiden.

More importantly, she barely seemed to speak.

No matter how the officer looked at the situation…the Omega appeared to have been abducted.

The officer’s expression had been stern when she looked at Mu Baicheng, but the moment she turned toward the Omega, a friendly smile appeared on her face.

“What’s your name?”

Her friendly attitude made Mu Baicheng roll her eyes inwardly.

Sure enough, Omegas were favored everywhere in this world—even though this particular officer was a Beta.

“Qin Xiyao,” the Omega answered.

Her tone was utterly flat, as calm and emotionless as a voice coming from a smart speaker.

The officer nodded. Then her smile vanished as she turned toward Mu Baicheng.

“And you? What’s your name? What do you do? Where do you live? When is your rut? Have you done anything inappropriate to Miss Qin?”

The barrage of questions made the corner of Mu Baicheng’s mouth twitch.

So you can be endlessly gentle toward an Omega, but this is the attitude I get?

The officer still clearly regarded her as a criminal.

Mu Baicheng pursed her lips but patiently answered every question.

“What is your relationship with each other?”

Mu Baicheng shook her head. She had just opened her mouth to say that she and Qin Xiyao had no relationship whatsoever when Qin Xiyao wrapped her arm around hers and nestled into her embrace.

“My Alpha.”

“Heh.”

The officer sneered, nearly snapping the pen in her hand.

So these two had been playing with her all along?

It was already the middle of the night, and now she was being force-fed a mouthful of public affection?

Boo-hoo! Such a beautiful Omega is already taken! What am I supposed to do after being single for so many years?

“I-I-I’m not… We aren’t…”

Mu Baicheng hurriedly tried to explain.

Qin Xiyao raised a hand and covered her mouth.

“You don’t want me anymore?”

Qin Xiyao did not deliberately put on a pitiful expression.

But when such a beautiful woman stood before you and said something like that, no one could remain unmoved—including Mu Baicheng at this very moment.

The officer angrily snapped her notebook shut.

“That’s enough. Don’t bring your relationship problems to the police station. Be careful, or I’ll charge you with wasting public resources.”

The young officer recorded their names and wrote down a detailed description of their romantic relationship.

Mu Baicheng truly had no other choice. She could only take Qin Xiyao home.

Mu Baicheng lived in a tiny apartment in the old residential district—though calling the place an apartment was already being generous.

The kitchen was located in the shared corridor outside the unit’s door, and the bathroom was barely large enough for one person to stand inside. Altogether, the place covered no more than twenty square meters.

The cramped space contained only a simple bed and a battered old table. The tabletop was piled high with books on feng shui, physiognomy, the Book of Changes, and other similar subjects. Aside from those, the only other object in the room was a fifty-inch suitcase sitting beside the bed.

After closing the door, Mu Baicheng looked at the hanfu Qin Xiyao was wearing. She pulled an oversized T-shirt from the suitcase on the floor and handed it to her.

“Go take a shower first. When you have money in the future, remember to pay me back for it.”

Qin Xiyao accepted the shirt, tilted her head, and looked at Mu Baicheng. Her gaze then swept around the tiny apartment.

Mu Baicheng realized she was silently asking how she was supposed to bathe.

Helpless, she took Qin Xiyao into the tiny bathroom and showed her how everything worked. Fortunately, Qin Xiyao quickly learned how to use it.

Mu Baicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing wrong with Qin Xiyao’s ability to understand things, so why did she seem so…

It would not be accurate to call her slow or dull. Her voice was calm and even when she spoke, and she did not seem like someone whose mental faculties were impaired.

Perhaps she had some difficulty she could not speak about?

Mu Baicheng lay down on the bed and recalled how she had met Qin Xiyao today.

She had fallen from the sky.

Could she have transmigrated here from another world?

Perhaps that was the only explanation Mu Baicheng could accept.

She sighed inwardly.

Forget it. She would take things one step at a time.

If Qin Xiyao truly had transmigrated here, then suddenly finding herself in a completely unfamiliar world must have been frightening.

Her mind churned restlessly with thoughts. The old electric fan brought a precious touch of coolness to the summer night, and Mu Baicheng slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

She did not sleep peacefully.

The old fan was too weak to satisfy an Alpha’s need for relief on a sweltering summer night, especially when Mu Baicheng naturally ran hot.

That changed when a body as cool as jade slipped into her arms.

Still asleep, Mu Baicheng instinctively tightened her embrace around the source of that refreshing coolness.

In the darkness, Qin Xiyao’s eyes grew cold.

Her originally black pupils instantly turned silver. Undisguised hatred filled those silver eyes as she stared at the sleeping Mu Baicheng.

Cool, slender fingers brushed across the Alpha’s defenseless throat.

Qin Xiyao gazed at Mu Baicheng with a complicated expression, keeping her fingers pressed against the woman’s neck for a full ten minutes.

Eventually, the silver faded from her eyes, and Qin Xiyao’s pupils returned to their original black.

Her pale, icy fingertips lifted the hem of the Alpha’s oversized shirt.

Then her cool body slipped beneath it.

In an instant, their two bodies pressed together without even the slightest space between them…
