Chapter 47 Cosmic Rift Cosmic Rift

Lu Qianxue felt her consciousness plummet into the clouds in an instant. Her face, which had just been washed with cold water, burned again. She tried to concentrate. Her hand covered the top of his soft hair, her fingertips running through his damp hair. The warm breeze blew through her fingertips and lifted the hair. Neither of them spoke again.

This was torture for Lu Qianxue. The alluring glands were right in front of her, and she could even touch them with the tip of her nose if she just lowered her head slightly. But she couldn't do that. Jin Chenyu trusted her and that's why he asked her for help in the middle of the night. If she took advantage of him, that would be too despicable.

Moreover, if she forcibly marks him under such circumstances, how will they get along when he wakes up? Lu Qianxue lowered her eyes, her thoughts already drifting far away.

Only after Jin Chenyu's hair had dried did she take a small step back and quietly exhale, "It's done." Her tone was a little stiff, "Rest well, I'm leaving now." As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to leave this place, but she felt a slightly cool touch on her wrist.

Jin Chenyu grasped her hand, even gently stroking her wrist with his fingers. The sensation traveled through her skin to her heart, causing her heart to pause for a moment before pounding violently. "Do you know what you're doing? I'm a healthy Alpha," he said in a low, hoarse voice, without turning around.

"I know." He replied simply, even pulling her slightly closer. "Before, I didn't understand my own feelings, but now... I know I like you. You know I'm not a coy person. If you don't like me..." He paused, "Can you walk out of this room and forget everything that happened tonight?"

"I...I..." Lu Qianxue turned around and looked into Jin Chenyu's eyes, which seemed to be shrouded in mist despite their brightness. "Are you awake? Actually, if it's just about marking someone, you don't need to say such things." If it's just about marking someone, I can give it to you. You don't need to lie and say you like me. Lu Qianxue's gaze went from wandering to fixing on him.

Jin Chenyu withdrew his hand, and the instant he let go, Lu Qianxue felt her heart suddenly stop beating. In the instant that sadness spread, his face appeared before her eyes. Jin Chenyu knelt on the bed, leaving the blanket and bath towel behind. He wrapped his arms around her neck, buried his face in the hollow of her neck, and parted his lips slightly, his warm breath spraying on her neck. "I'm sober now, so if you reject me, I'll feel a little embarrassed."

Lu Qianxue felt dizzy. Almost without thinking, she wrapped her arms around his waist and rubbed her cheek against his ear. "I won't refuse you. I'm afraid that if you refuse me, you'll regret it after you sober up."

"How could that be?" He lifted his head from her neck, his gaze lingering on Lu Qianxue's face for a second before finally locking onto her lips. The next second, he leaned in and pressed his lips tightly against hers.

Lu Qianxue looked at his trembling eyelashes. Such a thing should not be initiated by an Omega. She held his waist with one hand and pressed the back of his head with the other, deepening the kiss.

Xu Lingzhao looked at the sleeping Omega in her arms and smiled involuntarily. Her gaze was fixed on the vast universe through the window, so the planets at this moment turned into countless stars. Perhaps a planet had exploded and disappeared millions of years ago, but it still existed in her eyes.

Her hand unconsciously kneaded Chu Jingze's earlobe. Hmm, her Omega was really beautiful. She closed her eyes slightly, and a ball of golden energy appeared between her brows.

Xu Lingzhao leaned down and pressed his forehead against Chu Jingze's forehead. The golden energy ball silently entered Chu Jingze's body. "Hmm?" The Omega slowly opened his eyes, a look of confusion in them. "Why...why do I feel a little hot?"

"Are you hot? Would it be better if I didn't hold you?" Xu Lingzhao said, trying to remove his hand from Chu Jingze's waist, but Chu Jingze suddenly pressed it down. "No! You can't not hold me!" His eyebrows furrowed, his cheeks puffed out slightly, like an angry kitten. His voice was soft and weak, but it easily penetrated Xu Lingzhao's heart.

"Okay~ I'm holding you. Are you still hot?" She pinched the soft flesh on his waist with her hand.

"It doesn't seem hot anymore..." Chu Jing drew out the last syllable, then buried his head in her voice again, finding a comfortable position and closing his eyes. Hearing his even breathing, Xu Lingzhao knew he had fallen asleep again.

A communication popped up on the computer. It was from Song Shuci. Because one of the spatial teleportations had failed, the time to reach the cosmic rift had been extended to two days. She turned off the light screen. Perfect, she could spend more time with her Omega these two days. After all, they had lost their original memories when they went to other planes. After killing the fragments of the Insect Queen's clone, they immediately entered the next plane.

Xu Lingzhao couldn't be sure how long it would be before they met again in their original form. Maybe a few days? Maybe a few years? Or perhaps hundreds or decades?

Forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore. No matter how long it takes, they will never be separated.

The next morning.

Chu Jing opened his eyes in Xu Lingzhao's arms. What he saw was no longer the cold ceiling, but his Alpha's face. The weariness on his face was swept away. His wet, doe-like eyes were bright, his nose was so straight, his skin was so white, and his lips... well, his lips were so sexy too.

He couldn't resist reaching out his slender fingers to touch Xu Lingzhao's rosy lips. He lightly pressed them, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then secretly lifted his eyelids to check if she was awake. No! He propped himself up slightly with his elbows and reached out again to touch the mole at the corner of her eye. It was slightly swollen; he loved kissing that spot the most.

There is nothing more joyful than opening your eyes to find your loved one sleeping beside you. So much so that he didn't notice the slight upturn of Xu Lingzhao's lips. Just as his hand was about to poke Xu Lingzhao's cheek, she suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed his hand, and pressed him down.

"What are you doing so early in the morning, baby?" Her eyes were smiling, her tone doting. She wasn't annoyed at being woken up; instead, she found him so lively and adorable.

Chu Jing blinked, her face slightly flushed, and said playfully, "I was testing how alert an Alpha is when they're asleep." After saying that, she pursed her lips, trying to hide the corners of her mouth that were trying so hard to turn up.

Xu Lingzhao pretended to be deep in thought. "So it seems that Alphas aren't very vigilant when they sleep," she said, gently rubbing her nose against his. "Then what should I do? I need my Omega to always sleep beside me and protect me."

Her sweet words entered his mind so boldly that Chu Jing bit his lower lip slightly, his eyes suddenly becoming pitiful. "But when I wake up, my Alpha is never by my side." He grabbed one of her hands and placed it on his chest. "Listen to this, it's so heartbreaking."

“That Alpha is so mean, but she promised to stay by your side every day from now on.” She leaned down and kissed the Omega’s forehead. “Come on, get up, I’ll make you breakfast.”

Xu Lingzhao was wearing a shirt with an apron tied around her waist. Her back was to Chu Jingze, who was sitting obediently in a chair. Her long, firm, and powerful legs were exposed to the Omega's gaze, and he couldn't help but think of the post he had seen in Sandhurst—the Sandhurst Military Academy Ideal Partner Ranking. His Alpha was firmly in first place. He was so engrossed in reading it that he unconsciously rested his chin on his hand.

Xu Lingzhao was too good, almost unreal. He was missing a piece of his memory and always felt like a thief who stole other people's happiness, which made his excited heart quiet down.

As Xu Lingzhao was diligently frying eggs, she felt a pair of slender, fair hands wrap around her waist. "Hmm? Baby, what's wrong? Are you hungry? It'll be ready soon."

Chu Jing didn't move, but pressed his face tightly against her back. Sensing something was wrong, Xu Lingzhao stopped what she was doing, turned around, cupped his face in her hands, and asked earnestly, "Why are you unhappy? Did I do something wrong that made you sad?"

Alpha's tone was so sincere that Chu Jingze momentarily wondered if he was making a mountain out of a molehill. But in the few seconds he was thinking, Xu Lingzhao lightly traced his gland with her fingernail. "Hmm? Say it. Don't think about it yourself."

"Hmm...it just suddenly occurred to me...do you love the old me more, or the current me more?" He pursed his lips, meeting the Alpha's deep gaze.

Xu Lingzhao didn't speak, but instead picked him up and placed him on the table, making the Omega look at her eye level. "In my eyes, you before and after amnesia are still the same person. It's because of you that I fell in love with you." After saying that, she kissed his lips. "How can you be so cute, even jealous of yourself?"

Chu Jing was completely dazed by his coaxing. He gently pushed Xu Lingzhao away, his eyes looking a little uneasy. "You...you just know how to coax me." Xu Lingzhao took the hand that was pushing him away and kissed his palm. "I wasn't coaxing you. Everything I said was from the bottom of my heart." The two cuddled for a while before Xu Lingzhao lifted him off the table. "Be a good boy and wait for me. Try my cooking."

Omega grabbed her hand, "Let's do it together."

"OK."

In the depths of the universe, a bottomless rift suddenly appeared. It was so deep that it seemed as if a single glance would suck a person into it. Its surroundings were empty, without a single planet, and even pitch black, with only a few rays of light from other planets.

Deep within the cosmic rift, the slumbering behemoth slowly opened its eyes. It looked around at everything, but before it could take a closer look, its blue eyes instantly turned red.

It let out a terrifying roar, and everything around it fell silent. The insectoids that were usually active in the cosmic rifts had completely disappeared. They lurked in the shadows, afraid that this behemoth would notice them.

But the ravenous behemoth raised its hooked tail and precisely stabbed a Hydralisk lord, stuffing it into its mouth and chewing it up. Its actions turned this once vibrant area into a deathly silence.
