My Omega Is A Top Heavenly Master (GL) - Chapter 14

After returning home, Mu Baicheng rushed around in a fluster.

Qin Xiyao’s body temperature was frighteningly low. Mu Baicheng suspected that an ordinary thermometer would not even be able to measure it.

Despite the summer heat, Mu Baicheng—who was normally reluctant to waste money on electricity—set the air conditioner to its highest temperature. She did not care that her own forehead was already drenched in sweat.

She wrapped Qin Xiyao in their lightweight summer quilt, then borrowed two more quilts from Liu Suhong and bundled her in those as well.

“Is she really going to be all right?” Liu Suhong asked worriedly.

In her mind, Qin Xiyao was practically a little immortal. How could she possibly have become this weak?

Mu Baicheng shook her head.

Dudu continuously circled the bed, almost frantic with anxiety. It bit Mu Baicheng’s trouser leg and repeatedly tried to drag her onto the bed.

“Stop messing around,” Mu Baicheng said impatiently.

Dudu immediately protested. It barked fiercely at her, grabbed her trouser leg again, and continued pulling her toward the bed.

“Are you telling me to hold her?”

“Woof!”

Dudu’s tail wagged in rapid circles.

The stupid human finally understands what I mean!

Mu Baicheng glanced at Liu Suhong, who immediately understood.

“I know. I’ll give you some privacy. Call me anytime if anything happens. I still need to check on my father.”

After Liu Suhong left, Mu Baicheng turned off every light in the apartment and even chased Dudu out of the bedroom.

She removed both her own clothes and Qin Xiyao’s, slipped beneath the quilts, and tightly embraced her.

Layer after layer of cold sweat appeared across Mu Baicheng’s back, while the front of her body felt completely frozen.

What kind of ordeal was this?

The body in her arms gradually regained its warmth.

The weight hanging over Mu Baicheng’s heart also slowly lifted.

Once Qin Xiyao’s body temperature finally returned to normal, Mu Baicheng did not even have enough strength left to turn off the air conditioner.

She had climbed onto a roof and carried people around today. For a physically weak Alpha, that truly had consumed far too much energy.

Mu Baicheng closed her eyes and uncomfortably kicked away the quilts behind her.

Inside this room, Qin Xiyao was her only source of coolness.

She held her tightly.

The morning sunlight illuminated the dark room.

Qin Xiyao opened her eyes.

After spending the entire night asleep in Mu Baicheng’s arms, she had recovered less than a hundred years of magical power. Although it was merely a drop in the ocean, it was still enough for her body to recover.

Her black eyes stared unblinkingly at the person embracing her.

Qin Xiyao nuzzled Mu Baicheng’s neck, languid as a cat.

She did not want to get up. Having her magical power completely drained felt unbearable.

Mu Baicheng was a human-shaped reservoir of magical power. Qin Xiyao intended to remain pressed against her for as long as possible.

The flow of magical power gradually slowed.

Qin Xiyao sighed inwardly.

As expected, she recovered considerably more power when Mu Baicheng initiated the contact.

Now that Qin Xiyao was awake and deliberately pressing closer, the effect was much weaker than it had been during the night.

The Omega gently lifted the Alpha’s arms away.

Her waterfall of long hair cascaded down her back as she stepped barefoot from the bed and switched off the air conditioner that had been running all night.

This woman had been surprisingly generous.

The air conditioner must have consumed at least three kilowatt-hours of electricity overnight.

Qin Xiyao picked up the clothes scattered across the floor and put them on.

Anyone unaware of the truth might assume something indescribable had happened between them last night.

But nothing had.

Her thoughts returned to the estate.

The entity inside seemed to possess an extraordinarily deep obsession.

Qin Xiyao remembered the words she had heard last night.

That entity was waiting for someone who never came.

Just like her.

Qin Xiyao sat on the windowsill, drawing one bent leg against her chest while allowing the other long leg to hang down.

She looked both languid and elegant, two contradictory qualities that blended perfectly in her.

Her outward calm could not conceal the turbulence raging inside her.

Did she hate Mu Baicheng?

Did she resent her?

She could not let go.

Qin Xiyao sighed.

A thousand years had passed, yet she still had not moved on.

Worse, that person had appeared before her again.

Mu Baicheng, I will not give you another opportunity to abandon me.

Silver light flashed through Qin Xiyao’s eyes as she coldly glanced at the sleeping Alpha.

I can disregard everything that happened before. I will find a way to restore your memories.

When that time comes, you must tell me why.

Her complicated thoughts were interrupted by scratching at the door.

Qin Xiyao walked over barefoot and opened it.

The moment she looked down, she saw Dudu happily wagging its tail.

Before Qin Xiyao could stroke its head, Dudu shot past her, leaped onto the bed, and bounced twice on Mu Baicheng’s body.

“Ow!”

Mu Baicheng was startled awake and sprang directly out of bed.

“Where did this iron weight come from?”

She grabbed Dudu by the scruff of its neck and gritted her teeth.

Her long hair was a tangled mess, and dark circles were clearly visible beneath her eyes. She had not rested well during the night.

“Dudu, what are you doing?”

Dudu looked pitifully at Mu Baicheng and whimpered twice before ingratiatingly licking the back of her hand.

Mu Baicheng’s anger had nowhere to go, especially when the little creature looked so innocent.

“Get out.”

The moment she set Dudu down, it resumed circling her ankles.

It adored the scent of this human.

Mu Baicheng irritably ran a hand through her hair.

Seeing that she was completely helpless against Dudu, Qin Xiyao’s lips curved slightly.

The Mu Baicheng of this life truly was adorable.

“Dudu,” Qin Xiyao called softly.

Dudu looked reluctantly at Mu Baicheng several times before walking toward Qin Xiyao.

Qin Xiyao picked it up.

Its soul had become considerably more solid, making it much heavier than before.

“You’re awake? Are you feeling better?”

The moment Mu Baicheng noticed Qin Xiyao, she hurried over, held her shoulders, and examined her from every angle.

Yet Mu Baicheng herself was clearly still half-asleep.

Qin Xiyao’s gaze darkened.

She was beginning to find Mu Baicheng difficult to understand.

Perhaps it was more accurate to say she did not understand the people of this world.

In her previous world, her life had contained nothing but cultivation. Later, Mu Baicheng entered it.

But this world contained money, fame, status, and countless other things Qin Xiyao disliked.

Those things carried innumerable karmic entanglements.

The present Mu Baicheng was entangled in them too.

“Don’t you dislike me getting close to you? Didn’t you say Alphas and Omegas should observe proper boundaries? Why did you hold me last night?”

Mu Baicheng stepped backward and irritably grabbed her hair.

“That was different. Look at the state you were in! I couldn’t simply ignore you.”

“Mu Baicheng, do you like me?”

The doors and windows were closed because the air conditioner had been running.

Yet Mu Baicheng suddenly felt as though a breeze had swept through Qin Xiyao’s long hair and brushed directly across her heart.

She stared blankly for a moment and completely forgot to answer.

By the time she recovered, Qin Xiyao was already standing directly before her.

Mu Baicheng watched Qin Xiyao’s face draw closer.

She could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

Did she like her?

Wasn’t this happening far too quickly?

“I-I’ll go buy you a Family Bucket.”

It was an exceptionally poor excuse.

Mu Baicheng no longer dared meet Qin Xiyao’s gaze. Moving the same arm and leg together in her panic, she fled the bedroom.

The door closed behind her.

Mu Baicheng leaned against it, her heart pounding like a drum.

“It must be because she’s too beautiful.”

As though searching for a reason to convince herself, Mu Baicheng soothed her racing heart before leaving to buy Qin Xiyao a Family Bucket.

The closing door stirred a faint breeze.

Qin Xiyao’s gaze darkened.

How exactly could she make this woman take the initiative?

Qin Xiyao truly had no experience.

In their previous life, they had not had time for much intimate contact. At most, they had embraced each other.

Her slender fingers rubbed thoughtfully against her chin.

Perhaps she should ask Liu Suhong.

However, that woman did not seem particularly experienced either. With a Golden Immortal’s mark upon her, it was impossible for her to have experienced anything.

But Qin Xiyao did not have much time remaining.

The formation at the estate could last only seventy-two hours. Once that time elapsed, the entity inside would retaliate.

Having made her decision, Qin Xiyao resolved to find Liu Suhong immediately.

She calculated with her left hand and determined that Liu Suhong would return in approximately ten minutes.

For some reason, Qin Xiyao felt unusually impatient.

She opened the door and waited outside Liu Suhong’s apartment.

Under ordinary circumstances, Qin Xiyao would have timed her arrival precisely. Since she had already calculated when Liu Suhong would return, there was no reason to waste her own time waiting.

When Liu Suhong arrived, she found the little immortal standing outside her apartment in a daze.

Liu Suhong’s dark circles were especially prominent after remaining awake all night. She had spent the entire evening listening to her father explain what had happened to her mother.

Seeing Qin Xiyao, Liu Suhong immediately assumed her visit concerned the estate.

“Xiyao, are you feeling better? Why are you here so early? Did something happen at the estate?”

Her three consecutive questions made it obvious how deeply worried she was.

Qin Xiyao calmly shook her head, indicating that she had not come because of the estate.

Seeing her composed expression, Liu Suhong breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s good. Then why were you looking for me?”

She took out her key, opened the door, and invited Qin Xiyao inside.

Qin Xiyao remained in the doorway and asked seriously, “How can I make an Alpha take the initiative?”

Liu Suhong froze mid-step.

She stared at Qin Xiyao in disbelief, looking as though she had just heard some earth-shattering gossip.

The Omega before her was breathtakingly beautiful, yet her Alpha still refused to make a move?

Could Mu Baicheng be incapable?

No, judging by her behavior last night, she did not seem incapable.

“Are you sure you aren’t joking?”

Sister, please look in a mirror. You look like this, yet your Alpha still won’t take the initiative? There must be something wrong with her. Either she’s incapable, or she’s only attracted to other Alphas.

Qin Xiyao’s expression remained solemn.

“I’m not joking.”

“Tsk.”

Liu Suhong rubbed her chin and carefully examined Qin Xiyao’s face.

Everything about this little immortal was wonderful, but she was far too serious and rarely smiled.

“Perhaps you’re too cold and distant. You hardly ever smile. If you want an Alpha to take the initiative, you need a thorough plan…”

Liu Suhong smiled mysteriously and beckoned her closer.

Qin Xiyao leaned her ear toward Liu Suhong’s lips.

Liu Suhong whispered an entire series of strategies into her ear.

Qin Xiyao’s expression began completely undisturbed. Then a faint light gradually appeared in her eyes until they were shining brightly.

“Will that truly work?”

Liu Suhong raised an eyebrow and patted her shoulder.

“Sister, trust me. If she still doesn’t take the initiative after all this, then she definitely has a problem. If necessary, we’ll replace her with someone else.”

Qin Xiyao fell silent for a moment.

She thought about Liu Suhong’s suggestions, then remembered the situation at the estate.

“All right. I’ll do exactly that.”

She turned to leave, but Liu Suhong grabbed her arm.

“Where are you going? If a worker wishes to do a good job, she must first sharpen her tools. You don’t even have the necessary equipment, yet you’re already planning to enter the battlefield?”

“Equipment?”

Liu Suhong rolled her eyes, making the dark circles beneath them appear even more prominent.

Yet she was so excited now that exhaustion and sleep had long since been forgotten.

She pulled Qin Xiyao into the apartment and led her directly to the walk-in closet.

Liu Suhong’s closet was enormous.

One white cabinet looked entirely different from all the others.

Every other cabinet had transparent doors. Only this one was opaque.

Liu Suhong gently opened it, revealing what was hidden inside…
