My Omega Is A Top Heavenly Master (GL) - Chapter 2

Mu Baicheng rarely slept so comfortably on a sweltering summer night. All night long, her tiny room felt as though the air conditioner had been set to sixteen degrees Celsius.

The body in her arms was wonderfully cool and unbelievably comfortable. Before Mu Baicheng had fully awakened, her arms tightened instinctively, wanting to pull the source of that coolness even closer.

The alarm on her phone interrupted her peaceful morning at that very moment.

Mu Baicheng irritably reached toward the side of the bed. The cool thing in her arms certainly felt comfortable, but it was also a little too heavy.

She switched off the alarm and prepared to snuggle with her personal air conditioner for a while longer.

Wait—that was not right.

Mu Baicheng’s eyes flew open.

The smooth, icy, jade-like sensation in her arms was unmistakably human skin. And aside from her, the only other person in this shabby little home was Qin Xiyao.

Mu Baicheng abruptly lowered her head and looked at her chest. At some point, Qin Xiyao had slipped beneath her shirt. Their bare skin was pressed intimately together without the slightest gap between them.

The soft curves of the Omega’s chest were pressed against Mu Baicheng.

Startled, Mu Baicheng hastily shifted backward several times, only to smack her head against the headboard with a loud thud.

The noise awakened the person in her arms. Qin Xiyao opened her eyes, and a trace of irritation rippled through their otherwise placid depths, as though she were blaming Mu Baicheng for waking her.

Rubbing her head, Mu Baicheng hurriedly grabbed Qin Xiyao by the waist and pulled her out from beneath her shirt.

The moment she did, the Omega’s exquisitely curved body was completely exposed before her eyes.

Mu Baicheng snatched up the thin summer blanket—which barely covered anything at all—and draped it around Qin Xiyao.

“Y-you—you… How could you…?”

Mu Baicheng could not form a complete sentence.

Yes, her gland was underdeveloped, but she was still an Alpha!

Did Omegas nowadays have absolutely no idea how to protect themselves?

Qin Xiyao rubbed her eyes, pulled away the blanket covering her, and once again collapsed into Mu Baicheng’s arms.

Her mild voice sounded beside her.

“You’re so noisy. I want to sleep a little longer.”

Mu Baicheng raised both hands high into the air, as though someone had struck her acupoints and frozen her in place.

In all thirty years of her life, this was the first time she had encountered a situation like this.

It was not as though no Omega had ever approached her before. But the moment they discovered that Mu Baicheng had been born with an underdeveloped gland, they all stayed far away from her.

Throughout the first thirty years of her life, the closest Mu Baicheng had ever been to an Omega was sitting across a table and sharing a meal.

What exactly was happening now?

Had they skipped every stage of getting to know each other and fast-forwarded directly to this?

No, no. This would not do.

Mu Baicheng grabbed the blanket and wrapped Qin Xiyao tightly inside it.

She then leaped out of bed and placed a safe distance between herself and Qin Xiyao.

“No, Miss… Please show some restraint.”

Still wrapped in the blanket, Qin Xiyao stepped barefoot from the bed and stopped directly in front of Mu Baicheng.

Only a finger’s width separated the tips of their noses.

The room was too small, leaving Mu Baicheng nowhere to retreat. She could only close her eyes and force herself not to look at the beautiful Omega.

“Will hugging me make you lose a piece of flesh?”

Compared with last night, Qin Xiyao’s voice now held a little more warmth. It was as though she had been extremely weak the night before and had recovered somewhat by morning.

“No,” Mu Baicheng declared firmly. “Alphas and Omegas must observe proper boundaries.”

“Aren’t we both women?”

Mu Baicheng choked.

That was true, but this had nothing to do with whether they were both women!

“But you’re an Omega, and I’m an Alpha.”

“Everything you have, I have. Everything you don’t have, I don’t have either. Why should we avoid each other?”

Mu Baicheng did not know how to explain it to her.

However, this also confirmed her suspicions. Qin Xiyao really had transmigrated here from somewhere else.

Mu Baicheng tugged up the summer blanket, which was on the verge of slipping down, making sure Qin Xiyao was completely and securely covered.

The Alpha stood a full head taller than the Omega. With so little distance between them, Mu Baicheng spoke earnestly, looking exactly like a preschool teacher educating a child.

“Things are different here. We have Alphas, Betas, and Omegas—”

“I know. Can you mark me?”

Qin Xiyao’s question left Mu Baicheng completely speechless.

Could she?

Probably not?

“I…”

“Then why are you avoiding me? You held me very tightly last night. Or could it be…”

Qin Xiyao raised an eyebrow. Her cool gaze traveled slowly up and down Mu Baicheng’s slender body.

“…that it isn’t only your gland that doesn’t work? Do other parts of you not work either?”

Mu Baicheng was speechless.

Good grief. Were Omegas nowadays all this direct?

What was she supposed to say?

Mu Baicheng’s throat bobbed. Qin Xiyao’s eyes were clearly so calm, yet somehow, Mu Baicheng could see that she was asking the question in complete seriousness.

Gritting her teeth, Mu Baicheng abruptly wrapped an arm around Qin Xiyao’s waist and tossed her back onto the bed.

Then she dug through her suitcase, pulled out a set of clothes, and threw them to Qin Xiyao.

“Wear these for now. I’ll go buy you some underwear. Remember to pay me back when you have money.”

Mu Baicheng did not turn around, afraid that this celestial maiden might say something else astonishing.

Watching Mu Baicheng’s flustered back, Qin Xiyao had no intention of letting her off so easily.

“Do you know what size I wear?”

Her tone was mild, but the end of her sentence carried a teasing note.

Unfortunately, Mu Baicheng did not notice it at all. The paw she had placed on the doorknob froze.

Mu Baicheng stood there and seriously considered Qin Xiyao’s question.

Qin Xiyao had an excellent figure. She was certainly much larger than Mu Baicheng’s B cup. But whether she was a C cup or something even larger, Mu Baicheng truly could not tell.

“Well…”

“I’ll go with you.”

The rustle of clothing sounded behind her. A moment later, the Omega had put on the oversized T-shirt.

Cool fingers covered the back of Mu Baicheng’s hand and pressed down on the doorknob. Qin Xiyao pushed open the door and walked straight outside.

Mu Baicheng stared blankly at her retreating figure.

Was this Omega perhaps a little…too cool?

As an Alpha, Mu Baicheng had to admit that an Omega had just swept her off her feet.

“Aren’t you coming with me? I don’t have any money from this world.”

Qin Xiyao stopped and looked back.

If not for the clothing she was wearing from this world, Mu Baicheng would have found her so ethereal that she might take flight and disappear at any moment.

“I’m coming.”

Mu Baicheng returned to her senses, her heart aching once again.

It seemed she would have to tighten her belt even further this month.

Hopefully, this Omega would make her fortune soon. Only then could she repay Mu Baicheng sooner.

*

Morning began early in the old residential district. The elderly residents had already left their homes to exercise, and a sharp-eyed neighbor recognized Mu Baicheng.

“Morning, Xiao Mu. Is this your girlfriend? She’s really beautiful.”

“No—”

Before Mu Baicheng could explain, a crowd of elderly women surrounded her and began chatting away.

They told her what she should pay attention to while dating, asked when they planned to marry, when they intended to have a baby, and even when they planned to have a second child.

Good grief. These elderly women had accelerated the pace of Mu Baicheng’s life by who knew how many years.

It took an enormous amount of effort for Mu Baicheng to rescue herself and Qin Xiyao from their siege.

She took Qin Xiyao to the only lingerie shop in the district.

Coincidentally, the shop belonged to Mu Baicheng’s landlady, Mrs. Luo.

“Xiao Mu, the new quarter is almost here. Don’t forget to transfer the rent to me. I already gave you quite a large discount last quarter. I asked around, and a place like yours now costs at least thirty-five hundred yuan a month.”

Mu Baicheng nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Mrs. Luo really was a bloodsucker. How could she charge so much for that miserable dump?

Still, Mu Baicheng knew this was already the highest rent she could afford. Every inch of land in Hu City was worth its weight in gold. If she moved anywhere else, she would not be able to afford the rent at all.

Qin Xiyao glanced at Mrs. Luo, selected two pieces of underwear, and said to Mu Baicheng, “I want these two.”

“All right.”

Qin Xiyao’s words also happened to rescue Mu Baicheng from Mrs. Luo.

Mu Baicheng used the last three hundred yuan in her GreenChat wallet to pay.

Afterward, she was truly penniless.

Looking at the balance that was about to drop to zero, Mu Baicheng sat outside the fitting room and heaved a heavy sigh.

She genuinely could not understand why Omega underwear cost so much more than Alpha underwear.

“Omegas aren’t easy to support, are they?”

A cup of water appeared before Mu Baicheng.

When she raised her head, she saw Mrs. Luo’s beaming face. As far as Mu Baicheng could remember, Mrs. Luo had never looked at her with such warmth and kindness before.

Mrs. Luo sat beside her and spoke in an unprecedentedly amiable tone.

“Xiao Mu, things haven’t been easy for you either. You’ve been struggling all alone in the big city. You should know that finding an Omega to marry is very difficult nowadays.”

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

Mu Baicheng frowned. Mrs. Luo’s tone made her uncomfortable. She could not shake the feeling that another intention lurked beneath that friendly smile.

Mrs. Luo affectionately took Mu Baicheng’s hand.

“That young woman just now—is she your younger sister? She really is beautiful. You know, my son is only a few years older than you—”

“Mrs. Luo.”

Mu Baicheng coldly interrupted her.

So this was what Mrs. Luo had been leading up to.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Luo’s son was ignorant and good for nothing. He spent every day drinking and playing mahjong. Despite having a face like a bear, he constantly fantasized about beautiful Omegas.

“Don’t even think about it.”

Qin Xiyao pulled open the fitting-room curtain.

She had knotted the hem of the oversized T-shirt around her waist, revealing a strip of slender, fair skin.

She pulled Mu Baicheng up from the stool and linked an arm through hers.

“She is my Alpha.”

Mrs. Luo gave Mu Baicheng a disdainful look.

“Her? Young lady, you need to look carefully. Xiao Mu is a decent person, but she’s completely penniless. And her gland is underdeveloped.”

“She’s beautiful.”

That single sentence left Mrs. Luo speechless.

The entire old residential district acknowledged that Mu Baicheng was beautiful.

Old Wang’s granddaughter had once pursued Mu Baicheng like a woman possessed. Unfortunately, the Wang family refused to allow their granddaughter to become infatuated with a disabled Alpha and forcibly married her off to another Alpha.

Mu Baicheng had the striking, mature features of a classic older-sister beauty. She usually dressed simply and neatly. If Mrs. Luo had not already known her age, she would often have mistaken Mu Baicheng for a young woman who had only just graduated from university.

The clean, wholesome air around her truly did not resemble that of a thirty-year-old.

Ignoring the speechless Mrs. Luo, Qin Xiyao pulled Mu Baicheng toward the exit.

When they reached the doorway, Qin Xiyao stopped and said, “Your brows are constantly furrowed, and there are many lines between them.[1] You should pay more attention to what your husband is doing.”

Once they had left the shop, Mu Baicheng asked in confusion, “What did you mean by that?”

Qin Xiyao calmly glanced at her.

“How much of the Complete Guide to Physiognomy in your room have you read?”

Mu Baicheng scratched her head in embarrassment.

She had studied Daoist arts under her master since childhood, but she was only a half-baked practitioner. She had barely managed to learn Liuyao divination,[2] but as for physiognomy…

Her master had kicked the bucket before he could teach her.

“You know how to read faces?”

Only after a moment did Mu Baicheng grasp the important point.

Could this Omega have worked in the same profession as her in her previous world?

Qin Xiyao did not answer.

She tilted her head and looked up at the sky, silently calculating:

Summer Begins, Grain Buds, Grain in Ear, and Summer Solstice; then the two Heats follow one another. Wealth comes from the east.

“Where do you usually make money?”

“Donghu Park.”

“Where is that?”

Mu Baicheng was not sure whether Qin Xiyao knew how to read a map on a phone, but she truly did not know how else to explain Donghu Park’s location.

After considering it repeatedly, she could only show Qin Xiyao her phone.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiyao understood the digital map.

After confirming that the park’s location was not far from where she had expected it to be, Qin Xiyao returned the phone to Mu Baicheng.

“Let’s go. We’re setting up your fortune-telling stall.”

Delight surged through Mu Baicheng.

Could Qin Xiyao have seen something in her face?

Mu Baicheng pointed at her own cheek.

“Did you read my face and discover that I’m going to make a fortune today?”

Qin Xiyao narrowed her eyes at Mu Baicheng’s delighted expression.

There were countless faces in the world, and Qin Xiyao could see through them all.

Yet in this world, there were only two people whose destinies she could not discern.

The first was herself.

The second was her Dao companion…

The very person standing before her.
