My Omega Is A Top Heavenly Master (GL) - Chapter 5

“I believe you’ve seriously misunderstood me, Mrs. Luo,” Mu Baicheng said in a low voice. “I really am short on money, but I would never use an Omega as part of a transaction. Qin Xiyao is a person, not anyone’s possession.”

A hint of amusement appeared in Qin Xiyao’s placid eyes.

She had not expected this money-grubber to say something like that.

Mrs. Luo’s expression immediately turned ugly.

Chen Yao rushed over to Mu Baicheng and declared aggressively, “If you don’t hand over that Omega, then get the hell out of here! This is my mother’s property!”

“All right.”

Qin Xiyao stepped forward and took Mu Baicheng’s hand.

“According to the law, what you are doing is considered unlawful entry. You are the ones who should leave now.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Mrs. Luo sneered as though she had heard an enormous joke.

“This is my property!”

Qin Xiyao ignored her and turned toward Mu Baicheng.

“Did you sign that thing with her? What was it called…a rental agreement?”

Mu Baicheng froze briefly, then nodded.

“Yes. It expires in half a month.”

Qin Xiyao nodded.

In that case, they were indeed in the right.

“Since the landlord has breached the agreement, how do you intend to pay the penalty?”

Mrs. Luo’s expression changed completely. Her aged face turned cold.

“You little brat, don’t try to take advantage of an old woman just because you think I don’t understand the law. I’m the landlord. I can take back my property whenever I want. Why would I have to pay some breach-of-contract penalty?”

Qin Xiyao said nothing.

She merely looked at Mu Baicheng, silently asking whether she wanted to pursue the matter.

Chen Yao’s gaze continued roaming over Qin Xiyao’s body, the desire in his eyes unmistakable.

A wave of disgust rose in Mu Baicheng’s heart. Without drawing attention to the movement, she stepped in front of Qin Xiyao and hid her behind her body.

“Mrs. Luo, we’ve known each other for a long time, so I won’t pursue this matter. I’ll move out before the agreement expires.”

Mrs. Luo sneered and looked disdainfully at Mu Baicheng.

“Fine. Let’s see what kind of place a penniless wretch like you can find.”

She then left with the reluctant Chen Yao, who continued looking back at Qin Xiyao.

The door closed.

Mu Baicheng stared heavily at it.

How had she managed to say all of that?

She clearly had no money, yet she had directly confronted her landlady!

Heavens! Why had she done something like that?

What was she supposed to do now?

On the verge of breaking down, Mu Baicheng covered her face.

After calculating her current finances, she could safely call herself completely penniless. The less than twenty thousand yuan remaining had all been earned by Qin Xiyao.

“You should leave,” Mu Baicheng said with a sigh.

She was already struggling to support herself, while Qin Xiyao was perfectly capable of earning money on her own.

Following Mu Baicheng would only make her suffer.

“You’re trying to drive me away again?”

Qin Xiyao took the money Mu Baicheng had hidden beneath the pillow and placed it in her hands.

“I want to live with you. You’re the only person I know here. Consider this my rent.”

Trying to run away? Not a chance.

Qin Xiyao sneered inwardly.

Mu Baicheng had not yet finished repaying the magical power she owed her. There was absolutely no possibility that Qin Xiyao would allow her to escape so easily.

Mu Baicheng stared at the thick stack of cash in her hands.

This was her only opportunity. Qin Xiyao was now the client holding the purse strings!

Once Mu Baicheng understood that, she gazed at Qin Xiyao with shining eyes.

“You’re such a wonderful person.”

Does this mean I don’t have to pay the money back?

“This is the rent I’m paying you. I have one condition: the new place must be larger.”

Qin Xiyao knew exactly what Mu Baicheng was thinking.

“The rest is repayment. Didn’t you tell me to repay you once I had money? Besides, I don’t have an identification card, so I still need you to rent the property.”

Mu Baicheng paused.

Qin Xiyao was an outsider with no local identity documents. Moreover, she was so beautiful. What if someone tried to take advantage of her?

Now that Mu Baicheng had accepted her money, she naturally had to take responsibility for her.

Having found a perfectly reasonable excuse for herself, Mu Baicheng tucked the money into her clothes with a clear conscience.

Qin Xiyao was speechless.

The Mu Baicheng from her previous life had shone like the sun and moon. She and this person truly seemed to come from two entirely different worlds.

Could Qin Xiyao have been blind in her previous life and failed to see Mu Baicheng’s true nature?

With money in her pocket, Mu Baicheng was in exceptionally high spirits when they left home that day.

She took Qin Xiyao to a southern-style morning tea restaurant. However, when it came time to order, her old habit of agonizing over every expense returned.

The server looked impatiently at Mu Baicheng as she struggled with the menu.

“Excuse me, ma’am. Are you ready to order?”

Mu Baicheng coughed awkwardly.

“I need a little more time. I’ll call you once we’re ready.”

The server curled her lip, inwardly cursing Mu Baicheng for being poor.

When she turned away, the professional smile on her face disappeared completely.

Qin Xiyao propped up her head and watched Mu Baicheng struggle.

“Let’s leave. You don’t want to eat here, do you?”

Without giving Mu Baicheng much time to respond, Qin Xiyao left first.

The street outside was filled with an endless stream of traffic, completely unlike the world Qin Xiyao had previously known.

Everything here was unfamiliar—including the gland at the back of her neck.

Qin Xiyao did not understand why she had become an Omega, but her spiritual consciousness told her that Omegas were a disadvantaged group in this world.

An Alpha could mark multiple Omegas, but an Omega could accept the mark of only one Alpha.

Unable to see through her own future, Qin Xiyao could only assume this was part of the tribulation she had to endure to become a Saint.

After Mu Baicheng left without saying goodbye a thousand years ago, becoming a Saint had been the only thing remaining in Qin Xiyao’s world.

Qin Xiyao’s nose twitched as an unfamiliar aroma drifted toward her.

She turned her head and saw Mu Baicheng holding out a large paper bucket.

“A family meal,” Mu Baicheng said with a smile.

In Mu Baicheng’s experience, Omegas all liked junk food.

However, Qin Xiyao looked so detached from mortal concerns that Mu Baicheng genuinely was not certain whether she would enjoy it.

Still, morning tea was far too expensive.

It was only breakfast. Was there really any reason for it to cost five or six hundred yuan?

The KJJ Family Bucket was on sale for only fifty-three yuan today. How could that not be the better choice?

Qin Xiyao had never smelled anything like it.

Curious, she accepted the bucket from Mu Baicheng and selected a hamburger. She unwrapped it and took a bite.

At first, Qin Xiyao’s face showed a trace of disdain.

However, as the hamburger gradually disappeared, her eyes curved into narrow crescents.

“Thank you. It’s delicious.”

Mu Baicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, all Omegas liked this kind of food.

“Can we eat it again tomorrow?” Qin Xiyao asked.

An unprecedented hint of anticipation appeared in her cold eyes.

After cultivating for a hundred thousand years, Qin Xiyao had almost forgotten what food tasted like.

This was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.

Mu Baicheng’s heart skipped a beat beneath her gaze. Without thinking, she answered, “Of course.”

Qin Xiyao did not thank her again.

She simply continued eating from the Family Bucket in small, refined bites.

Despite her elegant manner, she did not stop eating for even a moment after receiving it.

By the time they reached the real estate agency downtown, Mu Baicheng glanced awkwardly at Qin Xiyao.

Her stomach let out a loud, protesting growl.

When Qin Xiyao heard it, she looked warily at Mu Baicheng and discreetly hid the Family Bucket behind her back.

Mu Baicheng understood that Qin Xiyao was guarding her food.

So even a celestial maiden could be possessive over food?

Moreover, Qin Xiyao’s appetite was somewhat terrifying.

Looking at her slender waist, Mu Baicheng could not help wondering where everything she had eaten had gone.

“Hello. My surname is Sun, and I’ll be your dedicated rental consultant today.”

A male Beta dressed in a suit greeted them with a friendly smile.

Before she had time to appease her growling stomach, Mu Baicheng stood and asked Qin Xiyao, “Do you want to come and view the properties with me?”

Qin Xiyao shook her head.

One glance at the male Beta’s face told her that none of the properties available to him were the one she wanted.

The property she wanted would appear if she remained here and waited a little longer.

She shook her head again to indicate that she would not be going.

Mu Baicheng did not force her and left with the agent.

Only after watching Mu Baicheng leave did Qin Xiyao retrieve the Family Bucket from behind her back and leisurely resume eating.

She had noticed that Mu Baicheng wanted to steal some of her delicious food.

It was bad enough that this woman had become stingy after entering a different world. Now she even wanted to steal food from Qin Xiyao.

How disgraceful.

Qin Xiyao had just finished eating when a familiar female voice sounded nearby.

“It’s you.”

Liu Suhong appeared without warning.

She looked at Qin Xiyao in surprise.

“You said we would meet again. I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.”

“Mm,” Qin Xiyao replied casually.

Her new home had delivered itself directly to her.

A female Alpha stood beside Liu Suhong.

Like the agent from earlier, she wore a formal suit. The only difference was that her suit looked considerably more expensive than the male Beta’s.

“Manager Fang, I ran into my friend,” Liu Suhong said. “I’ll speak with you about selling the apartment another time.”

Manager Fang treated her with great respect.

“Of course, Miss Liu. If you need anything, please call me at any time.”

After Manager Fang left, Liu Suhong invited Qin Xiyao out.

“Are you free? Would you like to have coffee with me?”

Qin Xiyao shook her head.

“Can we have tea instead?”

Compared with a beverage she had never heard of, Qin Xiyao preferred tea.

Liu Suhong had no objection. As far as she was concerned, Qin Xiyao was practically a miracle worker.

She took Qin Xiyao to an upscale teahouse nearby.

Qin Xiyao selected a fragrant Zhuyeqing tea. The way she drank was as graceful as an immortal, making the mere sight of her a pleasure to behold.

“If I were an Alpha, I would definitely pursue you,” Liu Suhong could not help remarking.

Qin Xiyao glanced calmly at the space between Liu Suhong’s brows.

Compared with the last time they met, Liu Suhong’s Red Luan star—signifying destined romance—had become even more pronounced.

Moreover, the aura of Liu Suhong’s Red Luan star felt strangely familiar to Qin Xiyao.

“I took what you told me last time seriously,” Liu Suhong said. “My father already disapproved of my relationship with him. He thought the man was nothing but a penniless nobody. I foolishly believed he genuinely loved me. But after hearing what you said yesterday, I investigated him. Guess what I found?”

“He was also involved with several other women,” Qin Xiyao said, getting straight to the heart of the matter.

Liu Suhong’s pupils trembled.

“You truly are incredible! How did you know? You said my destined partner is a woman, but I’m not interested in women.”

At the moment, Liu Suhong only half believed Qin Xiyao.

She believed her because Qin Xiyao had accurately revealed that she had encountered a scumbag.

She remained doubtful because she genuinely felt no interest in female Alphas.

Qin Xiyao placed down her teacup and looked calmly at Liu Suhong with her black eyes, their depths seeming powerful enough to draw a person inside.

“Judging by your face, you should have dated quite a few men. What was the most intimate contact you ever had with any of them?”

The question left Liu Suhong speechless.

It was true that she had liked those boyfriends.

However, whenever she became too physically intimate with them, her entire body would feel uncomfortable.

At its worst, she could not tolerate even something as minor as holding hands.

For a long time, Liu Suhong had believed she suffered from some strange illness.

But after hearing Qin Xiyao say this today…

Could her destined partner truly be a woman?

“You cannot tolerate intimate contact with those men,” Qin Xiyao said. “More precisely, you cannot tolerate such contact with anyone except the person destined for you.”

Qin Xiyao had clearly seen the seal upon Liu Suhong’s forehead.

It was a romantic mark left by a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Liu Suhong had already been chosen by that immortal as her destined companion.

“Then who is she? Where is she?” Liu Suhong asked.

The immortals were bound by their own laws.

Qin Xiyao could not speak openly about matters involving Golden Immortals or anyone above them. Even if that Golden Immortal had forgotten when she left the mark, Qin Xiyao still could not reveal it directly.

“Some things cannot be spoken.”

“Tch.”

Liu Suhong rolled her eyes.

“You people always reveal half the answer and hide the rest. By the way, what were you doing at the real estate agency? Where’s your Alpha?”

Qin Xiyao brewed herself another cup of tea.

“Our previous home was too small. We want to rent a larger place.”

“I have one!”

Liu Suhong patted her chest.

“It overlooks the river, has two bedrooms, and covers a hundred and twenty square meters. If you want it, I’ll rent it to you for three thousand yuan a month. I only have one small condition.”

“One reading a month,” Qin Xiyao said directly.

Liu Suhong was so surprised that she laughed.

“You already knew my condition was that you read my fortune?”

“Mm.”

Every request this wealthy young lady had was written plainly across her face.

What was there to guess?

“You really are…”

Liu Suhong did not know what else to say.

She had absolutely no secrets in front of Qin Xiyao.

Qin Xiyao blinked as she remembered something rather important.

“Can you help me obtain an identification card?”
