My Omega Is A Top Heavenly Master (GL) - Chapter 4

There was no telling how much accumulated resentment had condensed into the baleful energy surrounding Mrs. Luo.

In her current state, Qin Xiyao could not withstand it. Before she had time to move, someone suddenly pulled her into an embrace.

Mrs. Luo’s sharp manicure tore through Mu Baicheng’s thin T-shirt, and blood stained the tips of her nails.

Qin Xiyao vaguely heard a sizzling sound.

The baleful energy vanished as though it had encountered its natural enemy.

“She hurt someone!” someone in the crowd shouted.

The elderly men and women immediately surrounded Mrs. Luo.

“Mrs. Luo, you’re being completely unreasonable. Your husband was the one behaving improperly. Why are you blaming this young woman?”

“Exactly! Xiao Mu is a good person, yet you even lashed out at her Omega.”

Mrs. Luo stood there in a daze. She could not quite remember what had just happened.

Hearing everyone condemn her, she turned an ugly expression toward her drunken husband sprawled on the ground and slapped Chen Ji across the face.

“You bastard! This is all your fault! You made me humiliate myself in front of everyone. Get your ass home right now! If this happens again, I’ll break your legs!”

Mrs. Luo dragged her husband away.

The elderly neighbors continued speaking up for Mu Baicheng, but Mrs. Luo was notoriously difficult to deal with.

There were not many wealthy people in this old residential district, and Mrs. Luo happened to be one of them. Her husband was famous for living off his wife, yet no one had expected him to have the audacity to cheat on her.

“Xiao Mu, are you all right?”

Mu Baicheng sucked in a sharp breath.

How could she possibly be all right? Mrs. Luo had scratched her back open.

However, being surrounded by so many people also made Mu Baicheng uncomfortable.

Qin Xiyao was the one who rescued her from the crowd.

“I’ll take her home first.”

Hearing Qin Xiyao say that, the elderly neighbors felt much more relieved.

Mu Baicheng was no longer alone now.

She had an Omega.

After they returned home, Qin Xiyao instructed Mu Baicheng to lie facedown on the bed.

“Do you have any medicine at home?”

Mu Baicheng hissed as her shirt was rolled upward from the hem.

The Omega’s fingers touched her spine, sending a shiver through her entire body.

Mu Baicheng swallowed.

“No.”

Qin Xiyao sighed.

Being poor was one thing, but Mu Baicheng did not even keep medicine at home.

“Sit up.”

Mu Baicheng did not understand what Qin Xiyao intended to do.

“No. It hurts. I don’t want to move anymore. It’ll be fine after I sleep.”

“Get up. I will not repeat myself.”

The Omega’s cold voice made Mu Baicheng shudder.

She could only obediently push herself upright and sit cross-legged on the bed.

“Take off your shirt.”

Qin Xiyao sat across from her, bringing them closer once again. She was almost leaning directly into Mu Baicheng’s embrace.

Frightened, Mu Baicheng hastily shifted backward.

The movement was too abrupt and pulled at the injuries on her back.

“Hiss…”

Even after crying out in pain, Mu Baicheng stubbornly continued retreating.

“No. Alphas and Omegas…”

It hurt like hell.

“How am I supposed to treat your injuries if you don’t take off your shirt?”

“But there isn’t any—”

Before Mu Baicheng could finish speaking, Qin Xiyao grabbed the hem of her shirt.

Mu Baicheng did not sense Qin Xiyao using much strength, yet the T-shirt was effortlessly torn in half.

What the hell…

Mu Baicheng finally understood what people meant when they said cheap goods were never good.

The quality of a ten-yuan T-shirt really was concerning.

Cool air washed over her skin.

Mu Baicheng instinctively crossed her arms over her chest. An Alpha’s chest was not particularly large, and with the black sports bra she wore, Qin Xiyao did not find anything about it worth looking at.

“What are you hiding for? Do you have no idea what kind of figure you possess?”

After speaking coldly, Qin Xiyao grabbed Mu Baicheng’s wrist. With only a little force, she pulled Mu Baicheng’s arms apart and slipped into her embrace.

The moment their bodies touched, Qin Xiyao felt a faint trace of magical power return.

It was extremely weak, but it was sufficient to heal Mu Baicheng’s injuries.

Her icy fingertips brushed across the wounds on Mu Baicheng’s back. Her other hand formed a seal, and a spell infused with magical power began repairing the injuries.

The healing spell was somewhat painful.

Mu Baicheng’s arms tightened from the pain, pulling Qin Xiyao firmly against her.

The fingers resting against the Alpha’s back suddenly paused.

When Qin Xiyao had initiated physical contact with Mu Baicheng before, her power had returned one drop at a time.

Now, it felt as though someone had opened the faucet slightly wider.

Did Mu Baicheng need to initiate the contact herself for it to produce this effect?

But nothing like this had happened when Mu Baicheng protected her earlier.

Thinking back to what had happened downstairs, Qin Xiyao remembered that both of them had been fully clothed.

An even bolder possibility occurred to her.

Could it be that Mu Baicheng had to willingly seek her out for dual cultivation?

Even in their previous life, she and Mu Baicheng had never done such a thing.

They had agreed to wait until after their Dao Companion Ceremony.

Then Qin Xiyao remembered how a small amount of her cultivation had returned when they slept in each other’s arms the previous night.

Could it be…

Silver light flashed through her black eyes.

“Does it hurt badly?” Qin Xiyao asked calmly.

Internally, however, she was somewhat speechless.

How much could a simple wound-healing spell possibly hurt?

Mu Baicheng clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and nodded.

“It really hurts. I’m terrified of pain.”

Even an ordinary bump or scrape could leave her in pain for half a day, much less an actual open wound.

“I see. In the television dramas from your world, I noticed they use an excellent method of relieving pain.”

Qin Xiyao withdrew from Mu Baicheng’s embrace and looked at her impassively.

Mu Baicheng opened her eyes in surprise.

“When did you watch television dra—mmph!”

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Xiyao sealed her mouth with her own.

The Omega’s lips were icy, while the Alpha’s were burning hot.

Ice and fire pressed together.

Magical power flowed through their joined lips and into Qin Xiyao.

She held Mu Baicheng’s head firmly when the latter tried to pull away, then sucked hard on her lips.

Qin Xiyao opened her eyes.

Her originally black pupils had turned completely silver-white.

Mu Baicheng’s eyelids grew increasingly heavy.

She was so sleepy.

The sensation of oxygen deprivation felt as though she were standing atop a mountain at an extremely high altitude.

Several seconds later, Mu Baicheng completely lost consciousness.

Expressionlessly, Qin Xiyao pushed her down onto the bed.

The kiss had confirmed her suspicion.

To restore her magical power, she needed to have intimate physical contact with Mu Baicheng. Something like what they had done the previous night was not enough.

Last night’s contact had restored less than two years of her cultivation.

Yet this simple meeting of their lips had restored ten years of power.

But why had Mu Baicheng fainted?

Moreover, she did not seem willing.

Qin Xiyao glanced at the unconscious Mu Baicheng as the silver faded from her eyes.

She removed both Mu Baicheng’s clothes and her own, then pressed their bare skin together.

There was no point in thinking so much about it.

This person was already the Dao companion who had vowed to remain with her for lifetime after lifetime. Anything that happened between them was only natural.

Why should she care whether Mu Baicheng was willing?

Recovering her magical power was the most important matter now.

*

When Mu Baicheng awoke the next morning, she still felt somewhat dazed.

When had she fallen asleep last night?

She was alone in bed.

Mu Baicheng sat up and opened her bleary eyes. Qin Xiyao was sitting on the windowsill in a white T-shirt, an illustrated feng shui guide open in her hands.

The morning breeze stirred the Omega’s long hair.

She sat with her back to the light, the rising sun shining around her as her legs rested along the windowsill.

Mu Baicheng froze.

She suddenly understood why the emperors of ancient times had been unwilling to attend morning court.

With a beauty like this beside them, who would ever want to let go?

Yet Qin Xiyao remained expressionless, as though nothing in the mortal world could enter her eyes.

The sun rose higher, bathing her in a layer of golden light.

The phrase solemn and majestic as a sacred image involuntarily came to Mu Baicheng’s mind.

Qin Xiyao was an immortal who could not be profaned.

“You’re awake? I’m hungry.”

Qin Xiyao closed the book in her hands.

Now that she had recovered some magical power, she hardly required any sleep. She had awakened before dawn.

Mu Baicheng responded with a dazed “Oh,” then mechanically put on her clothes.

“I-I’ll go buy breakfast. What do you want to eat?”

Qin Xiyao tilted her head.

The breakfast Mu Baicheng bought was extremely cheap. Yesterday, it had consisted of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Qin Xiyao had practiced inedia for many years and disliked greasy food. Since Mu Baicheng had asked what she wanted today, she did not hesitate to answer.

“I want tea and dim sum.”

“Dim sum?”

Mu Baicheng tidied her slightly messy hair.

This was Hu City. People here did not have the custom of drinking morning tea.

Could Qin Xiyao have come from the south before she transmigrated?

“Did you used to live in the south?”

Mu Baicheng paused.

“I mean, in your world.”

Qin Xiyao shook her head.

“I lived in the Dao Domain, at the summit of Jianmu.”

“Huh? You lived on top of a tree?” Mu Baicheng asked foolishly.

Qin Xiyao’s expression changed. She rolled her black eyes, then casually picked up the Classic of Mountains and Seas from the table and threw it at Mu Baicheng.

“You have done an appalling job with your studies. It is difficult to imagine that you actually cast hexagrams to perform divinations for other people. Read this properly.”

Mu Baicheng caught the book and scratched her head awkwardly.

Reading had given her headaches since childhood. Yet whenever she studied Liuyao divination, she immediately became energetic.

Since Qin Xiyao had already said as much, Mu Baicheng could hardly continue making excuses.

“I’ll find time to read it. Let me take you somewhere to eat.”

The breakfast shop downstairs certainly did not sell southern-style morning tea.

Fortunately, they had earned some money yesterday.

As long as the meal did not cost more than fifty yuan, Mu Baicheng could accept it. Besides, Qin Xiyao had been the one who earned that money.

“How about we don’t order too much?” Mu Baicheng asked.

Her heart still ached at the thought of spending it. Making money was not easy nowadays.

Qin Xiyao knew this woman was greedy for money, but she had earned the money herself.

She merely glanced at Mu Baicheng without answering.

Mu Baicheng pouted.

Knowing she had no reasonable argument, she dejectedly slipped into the bathroom to wash up.

After the two of them finished getting ready and were about to leave, the sound of a key turning came from the shabby wooden door.

Mrs. Luo entered with her bear-like son, Chen Yao.

The instant Chen Yao saw Qin Xiyao, his eyes lit up with undisguised desire.

He secretly signaled to Mrs. Luo, indicating that he was extremely satisfied with this Omega.

“Mrs. Luo, how can you unlock the door and enter without permission?”

Mu Baicheng was furious.

Her lease had not expired. Even as the landlord, Mrs. Luo had no right to barge inside.

Mrs. Luo smiled kindly, but she could not conceal the craftiness in her eyes.

“Xiao Mu, I came to apologize for what happened last night. I wanted to give you a surprise.”

“A surprise?”

Mu Baicheng laughed in disbelief.

This was more like a fright.

Who gave people surprises like this? She had never heard of anything so ridiculous.

Moreover, ever since Chen Yao entered the room, his eyes had practically been glued to Qin Xiyao.

Mu Baicheng understood perfectly well what Mrs. Luo was plotting.

Mrs. Luo felt deeply resentful, especially toward Qin Xiyao.

As far as she was concerned, her husband had always been obedient. But after Qin Xiyao said those things to her yesterday, Mrs. Luo followed him and caught him cheating.

In Mrs. Luo’s mind, her husband would never have cheated if not for Qin Xiyao.

Only someone as selfish as Mrs. Luo could come up with such godlike reasoning.

She believed that once Qin Xiyao married into her family, she would be free to torment her however she pleased.

That was why she had brought her son here today, claiming that she wanted to apologize while secretly harboring an entirely different intention.

Qin Xiyao returned to the windowsill and gazed outside, as though everything happening in the room had nothing to do with her.

“Xiao Mu, I’ll be direct. I own an apartment downtown. If you’re willing to hand this little sister over to my son as his wife, I’ll waive five years of your rent.”

It was an extremely advantageous bargain.

At least, that was what Qin Xiyao thought.

To the present Mu Baicheng, she was merely an Omega of unknown origin who had brought considerable trouble into her life.

Mu Baicheng needed money.

Qin Xiyao had gained a rough understanding of this city. Renting an apartment downtown cost more than ten thousand yuan a month.

Mrs. Luo was offering five entire years without rent.

Mu Baicheng would agree, would she not?

After all, the current Mu Baicheng was so greedy for money.

“Will you agree?” Qin Xiyao asked.

Her calm gaze settled upon Mu Baicheng.

Mu Baicheng laughed, then turned her head away, refusing to meet Qin Xiyao’s eyes.

A trace of disappointment flashed through Qin Xiyao’s gaze.

The same soul, in a different world…

Was she going to abandon me once again?
