Chapter 15 The Beauty Trains the Dog: "If you're willing to admit your mistakes, come over here..."

"It must have taken me an hour to get to the bathroom..."

Are you really that angry that you took so long to wash?

Does Yan Quan have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness?

Could it be that the CEO's pheromones affected Yan Quan?

Could it be a pheromone recognition disorder? Otherwise, why would the reaction be so strong...?

To avoid unnecessary suspicion and criticism, Yan Quan did not linger. After a quick wash and tidying up, she calmly walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.

As she passed the camera, she deliberately stared intently at the lens for several seconds, showing off her radiant face from every angle to indicate that she was in "good health."

[The Queen is emerging from her bath, everyone get out of the way!]

[Hilarious! They even said they were influenced. Our Yan Haiwang is practically bursting with energy right now!]

[Detail: The neckband has been adjusted to a higher setting.]

As expected of the Crown Prince, even his bath is exquisite.

Of course, that's not enough.

Yan Quan's current persona is that of a "queen who flies into a rage after being offended." To cover up the "truth," the logic behind a leader's actions must be sufficiently complete.

So Yan Quan, with a look of disgust on his fingertips, slowly walked to the open-air campsite outside the hut. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he threw all the Chenal clothes he had been wearing while chatting with Murong Yuan into the campfire bonfire.

"Snap—" With a light flick of his slender fingers, a spark suddenly flew up from the top of the metal lighter.

Expensive luxury fabrics were instantly ignited, along with a limited-edition titanium lighter, and thrown into the raging flames.

Thick smoke billowed up, the fabric mingling with methane gas, burning everything to ashes...

This perfectly concealed the residual special medicine on the clothes, as well as the faint pheromone scent of S-grade Alah.

On the surface, Yan Quan appeared calm and indifferent, but inwardly he was laughing heartily, clapping his hands in satisfaction at his flawless "killing two birds with one stone" scheme.

"Yan Quan...!" Murong Yuan saw the thick smoke and ran over in a disheveled state from a distance: "What do you want to do...?"

"This is a warning, Murong Yuan."

Yan Quan looked sideways with her eyes half-closed, her curled eyelashes fluttering in the swirling smoke and dust, her face shrouded in a layer of flickering shadows.

"I don't want dirty things."

“You…” Murong Yuan stared at Yan Quan, who was standing at the other end, his body stiff and unable to take another step forward.

Because he suddenly felt a huge sense of disparity.

For the first time, he realized with such clarity that the person before him was powerful, arrogant, and unshakeable.

Even though he is an Omega, he still possesses the unchallengeable and supreme authority of an Alpha.

At this moment, Yan Quan's surrounding aura of pressure was just like that of an S-class Alpha.

“I…” Murong Yuan’s hands, hanging by his sides, trembled slightly involuntarily. For the first time, the strict “hierarchical obedience” instinct of an Alpha was exposed in front of an Omega.

"What's wrong... are you scared?"

Yan Quan curved her eyelids and gently smiled. The smile was alluring, wicked, yet incredibly captivating.

"I'm actually quite easy to talk to. I'm willing to give you a chance to correct your mistakes."

Through the rising smoke from the campfire, Yan Quan, with his index and middle fingers held together and upright, smiled and beckoned towards the direction where Murong Yuan stood in astonishment.

This is a standard dog training maneuver.

The condescending posture of a superior is less about "tolerance" and more about "charity":

"If you're willing to admit your mistakes, come over here."

[She's totally husband material!]

[Thick smoke billowing, it's insanely beautiful!]

[Supreme divinity, who will understand me?]

[An overwhelming sense of oppression, an evil yet deadly attraction... This is Queen Medusa!]

[Training an Alpha like a dog: breathtaking beauty and an overwhelming sense of oppression]

"Don't anyone try to take him from me, I want to be Yan Quan's dog."

“Yan Quan, I…” Murong Yuan walked over step by step, and was surprised to find that his legs were a little weak.

He dragged his heavy steps to Yan Quan's side, until he finally looked closely into Yan Quan's eyes.

Beautiful and amorous peach blossom eyes, charmingly curled eyelashes, clear and darting pupils... Thin lips parted slightly, curving into a half-smile: "You're very well-behaved."

Murong Yuan's heart pounded wildly for a moment.

What kind of moist clay did Nuwa use to create such a pair of bewitching eyes?

Her pupils were covered with a layer of shimmering spring water, and when she smiled, they rippled with light, like a fox, a rabbit, or the moon that was incomplete in her youth.

"I'm sorry for treating you that way. Don't be angry..." Murong Yuan was surprised at how smoothly and effortlessly he "surrendered."

Generally speaking, Yan Quan was always good at using this method to numb people's minds.

"I was so eager to invite you. Seeing that you agreed to invite another Alpha, I couldn't control myself for a moment..."

Murong Yuan stood before Yan Quan, his eyes downcast and dejected, "confessing his crimes." He looked like a model student who had been punished by being made to copy a poem a hundred times for making a mistake in reciting it.

Finally, Murong Yuan let out a heavy sigh: "I promise I won't do it again next time."

"Your attitude is very proper." Yan Quan reached out and gently ruffled the fluffy whorl of hair that the Alpha revealed when he lowered his head, his tone of appreciation like that of someone teasing a pet: "That's very good."

Peach Blossom's eyes curved like crescent moons: "I forgive you, but this won't happen again."

Then Yan Quan put his arm around Murong Yuan's shoulder, his warm fingertips lightly brushing against Murong Yuan's neck. The pressure was just right, like he was coaxing someone.

"Slap me, then give me a sweet date"—Yan Quan was adept at using this tactic to win people's hearts.

Murong Yuan's dejected and frustrated heart was easily teased and made to pound wildly by such skillful manipulation.

How could there be such a contradictory person as Yan Quan in this world! On one hand, she is powerful and extremely arrogant and oppressive, and on the other hand, she is charming and cute to the point of being pitiful.

In Murong Yuan's rich life experience, among so many different kinds of omegas, Yan Quan stands out as particularly eye-catching.

It is neither the delicate, clinging dodder nor the overly aloof green bamboo; its appearance is proud and charming, yet also appropriately passionate and generous.

Yan Quan is unpredictable and hard to fathom... You can't tell which side of him is a pretense and which is the truth; or rather, it's all an illusion.

Murong Yuan felt something was out of control for the first time in a long time. He couldn't hold onto Yan Quan, let alone control or manipulate him.

It's quite dangerous...and so fascinating.

A thrilling sense of challenge surged from his chest, stirring the Alpha's instinct for strength and fueling his rapidly escalating desire for conquest.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the towering campfire roared, and the scattered firelight was reflected in Murong Yuan's eyes as he looked at Yan Quan.

There was another fire there. Burning brighter than a campfire, this time it wasn't just the merchants' greed for money.

And then there's... a purely physiological, Alpha's extreme desire for an Omega.

………………

The night was long. After seeing Murong Yuan off, Yan Quan still had two KPIs to meet.

This means that Fu Duannian appeared at the entrance of the "Secret Space" precisely at eight o'clock.

"Come in." Yan Quan slightly lowered his chin and greeted Fu Duannian with a smile. "As expected of a gentleman, you arrived right on time."

“The bonfire was beautiful just now.” Fu Duannian smiled. “It reminds me of Italy in 1600, where Bruno’s heliocentric theory was accused of heresy by religious groups and he was burned at the stake in Rome’s Campo de’ Fiori.”

"As time went on, the heliocentric theory was confirmed as an indisputable truth. Bruno was also regarded by the Italians as a pioneer in the fight against ignorance."

"The current Catholic leader has publicly expressed his apology for Bruno's tragedy." Fu Duannian adjusted his glasses and looked at Yan Quan, his smiling eyes hinting at something: "Don't you think belated remorse is absurd?"

That's the tiring part about talking to cultured people. They beat around the bush, their meanings are unclear... their subtlety and tact go too far.

In reality, Fu Duannian simply wanted to know the extent of Bruno Yan Quan's disgust with the offensive behavior of the "Civilian" Murong Yuan, and whether there was any room for reconciliation...

Yan Quan lazily lifted his eyelids. "Bruno himself is a religious person."

That's one of the great things about talking to cultured people. You just need to understand intuitively, and you'll get it right away.

Fu Duannian instantly understood: Yan Quan had not "completely ruled out" Murong Yuan, or rather... Murong Yuan still had value to be used.

"Yan Quan, how can you be so funny?" Fu Duan Nian's shoulders trembled slightly as he laughed, his silver-rimmed glasses casting dappled shadows.

"Thank you." Yan Quan was never modest about praising himself. "Since you are so interested in religion... I have another story to tell you."

"Judas was bribed by the chief priests with thirty pieces of silver to identify Jesus at the Last Supper, which led to Jesus' crucifixion..."

Yan Quan's fox-like eyes gleamed slyly as he looked at Fu Duannian with a meaningful gaze: "You and Judas should have quite a bit in common."

The subtext is: Fu Duannian should have followed the "pure love" script and chosen Ji Yao in a 1V1 relationship throughout, but now he has turned to Yan Quan to show his affection.

This is a betrayal just like that of "Judas".

Yan Quan's hand rested gently on the small wooden tea table, his fingertips rubbing and moving, producing a soft, rustling sound.

"Does Judah think thirty silver coins are too few?" (Did they not reach an agreement with the program team on the price?)

After all, the Yan Group assets that could be obtained by currying favor with Yan Quan were much higher than the maximum reward paid by the "High Priest".

Faced with Yan Quan's slander and questioning, Fu Duannian remained unperturbed. He merely lowered his eyelashes with a half-smile, his direct gaze sweeping over Yan Quan's exquisite and beautiful face:

"Why wasn't it Judas who was tempted by Satan?"

"According to the Bible, Satan entered Judas' heart and tempted him to betray Jesus."

In Fu Duannian's rebuttal, Yan Quan was accused of being a seductive "succubus Satan," the true source of Jesus' (Ji Yao's) suffering and resurrection (the program team rewrote the script).

Yan Quan raised his eyes and calmly met Fu Duan Nian's gaze: "The six-winged angels before the throne of God, Satan is responsible for placing temptations on earth." (I hold the script of "universally disliked scumbag Omega," so I should be flirting with Alphas everywhere and juggling multiple relationships.)

"Judas's inherent greed and selfishness gave Satan an opportunity to exploit him." (You should reflect on your own actions if you turn against him so easily.)

Fu Duannian replied with a smile, "From a Christian perspective, Jesus' suffering and resurrection were part of God's plan to save humanity; Judas merely accelerated this process." (The production team changed the script; even Ji Yao knows about it.)

"Ha..." Yan Quan's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Jehovah truly loves the world, and was willing to give his only son Jesus to them to bear their sufferings." (The production team even sacrificed the royal family arranged by the investors for the sake of ratings.)

Fu Duannian's smile deepened: "Jesus preached, knowing he would face suffering and death, yet he steadfastly went to Jerusalem to complete God's plan of redemption." (Ji Yao did it voluntarily; he didn't want to be tied to me.)

Speechless, Yan Quan simply shrugged: "I'm a staunch atheist." (You two can rewrite your script however you like. I'm playing the womanizing scumbag Omega, so don't get in my way.)

[Um...are these two talking about the Bible?]

I understand the story... but is it funny?

Don't ask, it's just a special resonance among highly educated intellectuals.

[Seriously, can someone translate this dialogue from Chinese to Chinese? Does watching a dating reality show now require an educational background?]

I used to laugh at Ji Yao for being illiterate, but now I realize that I was the clown myself.

Am I the only one with eyes glued to Yan Quan? So knowledgeable, so eloquent… This intellectual guy is having a blast!
