The little boy next door, who was extremely happy the moment before, thinking that he had finally gotten what he wanted after years of compromise, now felt cold all over.
Disgust, fear, anger... countless negative emotions kept rolling in his chest like sulfuric acid, stabbing his heart and causing it to ache. Knowing that Lu Zhizhao was right next to him, Ning Jiayi had to keep his expression steady no matter what. However, he couldn't control the strong malice in his heart. He glared at Su Liang fiercely, and his palms were bleeding from his own fingernails.
how so?
He saw clearly that Su Liang should have been an ordinary beta, but the aura he exuded at this moment was that of an Omega.
And the opponent's level...
What is the opponent's level?
Ning Jiayi had never felt such an aura from another Omega before: powerful, calm, gentle, without any aggressiveness, but it made his body instinctively tremble and shrink.
It was almost as if his body was instinctively surrendering to the other party.
The mental disgust and spontaneous physical fear made Ning Jiayi feel confused. Fortunately, Lu Zhizhao's reaction at this time was not much better than his. Hearing that Lu Zhizhao accidentally knocked over the cup of water, Ning Jiayi came back to his senses. He turned to look at Lu Zhizhao and immediately realized that something was wrong with him. Ning Jiayi and Lu Zhizhao have a high degree of compatibility, so he can naturally feel that Lu Zhizhao's aura is gradually becoming more and more chaotic.
"A Zhao, calm down."
Ning Jiayi's face turned pale and he quickly spoke up to remind him.
After a pause, the boy with a slightly distorted expression couldn't help but add: "Why is Brother Su Liang with your uncle this time? It's so strange?"
Even though he knew that this statement was too obviously provocative, Ning Jiayi still found it difficult to control the sarcastic tone in his words.
After all, the highlight moment of his life that he had planned for a long time and looked forward to had been completely shattered by the appearance of Su Liang.
But Ning Jiayi soon regretted it, because after hearing his "question", Lu Zhizhao's expression suddenly became extremely terrifying.
“Crunch—”
Faintly, Ning Jiayi even thought he heard the slight sound caused by Lu Zhizhao clenching his teeth too tightly. On the alpha youth's originally handsome face, there was a muscle that was twitching involuntarily.
He looked like he was going crazy.
"A Zhao, you, please don't be impulsive."
Ning Jiayi swallowed his saliva and quickly reached out to grab Lu Zhizhao.
Lu Zhizhao suddenly turned his head and looked at him fiercely with a gloomy expression.
"Ah Zhao?!"
It took a long time. Ning Jiayi then heard Lu Zhizhao's hoarse sneer.
"Impulsive?" Lu Zhizhao sneered coldly.
The young man's skinny face still had a ferocious expression, but no matter what, on the surface, Lu Zhizhao had already sat back in his seat.
Lu Zhizhao didn't look at Ning Jiayi again, but Ning Jiayi heard the hoarse whisper squeezed out from the dry lips.
"You think too much. No one will allow me to act impulsively."
Lu Zhizhao murmured.
Even though he already knew that Su Liang had cheated on him with his uncle, when Lu Zhizhao saw this scene again after so many days, his brain went blank.
The brutal murderous intent kept rolling and roaring in his chest, making him want to rush up and tear the man who was nominally his uncle into pieces.
However, just now he just moved his body slightly, and in an instant several eyes fell on him who seemed to be unnoticed.
The waiter looked gentle, polite and humble.
Sitting in the corner, he looks like a newly-appointed noble of a small family.
A beautiful female companion nestled beside the heir of a large family.
He is even a famous singer in the league who is admired by everyone.
…
Their vague gazes on him seemed to be unconscious, but the coldness contained in them was enough to make Lu Zhizhao regain his composure instantly.
If he had not had the experience of his previous life, it would have been difficult for him to detect that kind of cold, precise surveillance that was like a hunting light net.
These people are all "venomous snakes".
Moreover, Lu Zhizhao was also very sure that there were even more people belonging to the Snake Cave in the entire banquet hall.
Because of Su Liang's appearance this time, is that man actually on guard to this extent?
No matter how painful the surging rage was, Lu Zhizhao could only grit his teeth and sit back in his seat, then watch from afar as Su Liang gradually approached in Lu Taipan's arms.
What he didn't know was that just now, Su Liang also carefully withdrew his gaze that was looking towards a corner.
Seeing Lu Zhizhao sitting back in his seat steadily, the frail boy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he walked into the hall, he had already heard Lu Zhengen announce the marriage news, and Lu Zhizhao's gaze was so intense that Su Yang noticed Lu Zhizhao's presence the moment he entered the banquet hall.
To be honest, when Su Liang saw Lu Zhizhao move slightly, his heart was in his throat. After all, he had already experienced Lu Zhizhao's madness once on the spaceship. Now I really don’t want to go through it again in front of everyone on Golden Night. But thank God, after the Lu family's treatment, Lu Zhizhao's condition should have improved...
Just as Su Liang was thinking this, he suddenly found that the tall and stern alpha beside him took a step forward as if inadvertently. The man's dark figure just blocked his view of Lu Zhizhao.
"Don't worry about Lu Zhizhao."
Lu Taipan tilted his head slightly and whispered something into Su Liang's ear calmly.
Su Liang: ...
Before attending the banquet, Lu Taipan pretended to be calm and told Su Liang that on this golden night, Lu Zhengen would announce the marriage of Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi in public. When the man was recounting this incident to Su Liang, there was no expression on his face and his tone was very indifferent, as if he was casually saying, "The weather is really nice today."
But if he really didn't care, why would he bring it up so deliberately in front of me?
At that time, Su Liang felt helpless and a little amused looking at the awkward alpha in front of him.
He really wanted to tell the other party that he had actually known about this matter for a long time. In his previous life, he had even watched the wedding of those two people. In this life, he naturally would not have any extra emotions because of this news.
On the contrary, Lu Taipan himself is a bit weird. He had always been very cold towards Lu Zhizhao, with a hint of disdain in his coldness. However, the older man's childishness in being jealous was no better than that of the silly boy who hadn't even grown a beard in middle school.
Of course, Su Liang felt that he probably had no way to cancel the other party, because even if he was so clumsy and jealous, he still felt...
Mr. Si is a little cute when he gets jealous.
"Okay, I won't watch it."
In the banquet hall of the Grand Commander's Mansion, a gentle curve appeared on Su Liang's lips, and he spoke softly to the man beside him. Sure enough, after getting Su Liang's assurance, the bit of coldness in Lu Taipan's pheromones disappeared instantly.
The young man couldn't help but laugh. A sour-sweet feeling rose in my chest.
And it must be said that the topic raised by Lu Zhizhao somewhat diverted Su Liang's attention and made him less nervous.
After all, the countless gazes cast upon him now were so intense, so intense that even someone like him could not help but feel a little overwhelmed.
In the middle of the Golden Night banquet hall, there is a small round table, and the chair next to the round table is empty. The chair itself was noticeably different from the other seats—on the backrest with soft lines, there was a lifelike and extremely ferocious snake carved.
There were no words or nameplates on the chair, but just by looking at the chair, everyone knew that in the entire Earth Federation, there was only one person who was qualified to sit on that chair.
That was the position prepared for Lu Taipan. It was also the supreme honor and the source of all the power of the Lu family.
Lu Zhengen has naturally longed for this "Snake Sign" for a long time. For many years, he had always explicitly or covertly suggested to the commander-in-chief that as the acting head of the family, he was actually qualified to sit on that chair.
But the commander-in-chief always smiled and brushed it off.
For so many years, Lu Zhengen has never been able to touch this chair. Of course, Lu Zhengen was actually very clear that things were not that easy at all. After all, even if the commander-in-chief agreed, the people sitting around the chair would probably not allow the "Snake Seat" to be occupied. Because around that chair, all the seats have their own exclusive owners, who are the commanders of the major legions that fought with Lu Taipan back then.
After leaving the battlefield, these people fought with the Snake Cave many times, but strangely, they did not allow anyone except Lu Taipan to occupy the most central position.
Over time, this empty seat in the hall became a symbol. Until today, it finally began to function as a "seat" and attracted its owner.
"It's so rare that I can finally see you in person at the Victory Day celebration..."
Seeing that Lu Taipan and Su Liang had arrived at their seats, the commander-in-chief immediately walked over. There was no dignity of the supreme commander of the Federation on his face, at least, that was the case in front of Lu Taipan. Standing in front of the Snake Lord, the commander-in-chief seemed particularly amiable and behaved just like the uncle next door who loved to tease people.
On the contrary, Lu Taipan's attitude remained as indifferent and taciturn as usual.
"I'm late, sorry."
He said lightly.
The commander-in-chief's smile became even more friendly.
"Oh, I didn't know you. You hate the media bombardment before the ceremony. If it weren't for prohibition, I would also like to come after the ceremony. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you show up, it will be an honor for the entire Earth Federation..."
Su Liang looked at the two people in front of him silently and blinked. Is it his illusion? Why did he always feel that even the commander-in-chief seemed a little fawning when facing Mr. Si?
Just as the commander-in-chief wanted to exchange pleasantries with Lu Taipan again, a frivolous whistle was heard from the side, interrupting their conversation.
Su Liang also subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, and then saw the man who was whistling.
He was leaning sideways in his seat, with his feet even on the table.
The tall and strong alpha looks reminiscent of a brown bear, with a hideous scar running diagonally across his face. Su Liang was startled when a highly recognizable face came into view.
Lin Yifei, commander of the Third Legion of the Earth Alliance, had previously led the Third Legion in bloody battles in the Canaanite War and was a combat hero second only to Lu Taipan. However, unlike Lu Taipan who rarely appears in public, this legion commander has contributed a lot of news on the Star Network.
Su Liang originally thought that the rumors on the Star Network were too exaggerated, but now, seeing the legion commander who did not stand or sit properly in front of the commander-in-chief and even whistled in public, he was a little shocked.
…This person's eccentric behavior and strange style are probably not groundless.
Lu Taipan frowned and looked at Lin Yifei coldly.
As a high-level alpha, Lin Yifei's existence is somewhat annoying to the Lord of the Snake Cave.
But Lin Yifei acted as if nothing had happened. He completely ignored the coldness emanating from Lu Taipan, and his tone became more frivolous.
"Wow, old Viper, I thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true. Someone like you actually found a partner? Isn't it said that for an S-level alpha to find a matching omega is no different from winning the lottery? Did you find an actor to show off on purpose?!"
As he spoke, Lin Yifei put down his legs that were on the table.
Su Liang didn't even have time to see the other party's movements clearly before he found a shadow suddenly falling in front of him. It was like teleportation. At that moment, Lin Yifei had actually passed the commander-in-chief and came directly in front of him.
The legion commander's face came closer, and when the grinning alpha looked at Su Liang, he was stunned, and a gleam of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"My pretty girl, am I honored to get your contact number again?" He pointed at himself, "I'm actually a month younger than the girl next to you, and I'm currently single—"
Before he could finish his words, Su Liang saw the face of the arrogant and frivolous alpha in front of him suddenly change, and he even staggered.
Then, Lin Yifei took several steps back and quickly distanced himself from him.
“I surrender—”
Lin Yifei forced a smile and raised his hands towards Lu Taipan.
"I really surrender. We are not on a battlefield. Today is such a happy day. There is no need to be so serious. Isn't it okay to praise your wife for her beauty?!"
The man spoke with ease, but only he knew that he almost fell to his knees just now.
...Didn’t this old guy say he was about to die? Why is it that when we met today, I felt that the other person's mental strength was even stronger. Just now, if he hadn't dodged quickly, Lin Yifei even felt that his kidneys were about to be pierced by mental power.
Lu Taipan stood sideways between Su Liang and Lin Yifei, and swept the legion commander with a cold look as if he was looking at some garbage.
Without saying a word, Lu Taipan turned around and gently and considerately pulled out a chair for his Omega.
"sit."
He said.
Then he seemed to remember something and said to the bewildered commander: "You can get busy now."
He said.
The commander-in-chief shuddered, smiled and said a few perfunctory words, then quickly left the scene of the immature fight between the Lord of the Snake Cave and the commander of the Third Legion of the Alliance.
"hiss--"
On the other side, Lin Yifei twitched his mouth, took a breath of cold air, covered his waist and slowly sat down.
What a fucking monster.
Unable to hold back, Lin Yifei continued to curse Lu Taipan in his heart.
After Lu Taipan took his seat, the Golden Night seemed to return to calm. Some people came forward to give speeches, and some performed...
In fact, the originally scheduled climax, that is, Lu Zhengen announced the engagement between the Ning family and the Lu family, had not passed for long, but at this moment no one cared about it. The invisible undercurrent, the deliberately suppressed whispers, and the gazes that would occasionally secretly fall on the "snake seat" in the center of the hall, all indicated that the real "climax" had fallen on Su Liang and Lu Taipan.
Especially... many people's eyes were fixed on Su Liang.
Su Liang frowned slightly.
"Don't be nervous."
Sensing the unnaturalness of the boy beside him, Lu Taipan immediately turned his head and spoke softly to comfort him.
The alpha's eyes were darker than usual. While speaking, Lu Taipan couldn't help but raise his hand and grabbed Su Liang's wrist.
He gently rubbed Su Liang's wrist, then moved down gradually, and finally the two of them were under the seat, holding hands.
"I'm not nervous," Su Liang's expression was a little more tense than usual, "I'm just...well, I am indeed nervous."
He admitted reluctantly.
"I didn't expect those people would keep watching us."
Although he had already prepared for a sensation, Su Liang still did not expect that appearing in front of everyone as the snake master's partner would attract such intense inquiry.
He originally thought that after the initial entry, everyone's attention would quickly shift. After all, the engagement between the Ning family and the Lu family had caused such a sensation in his previous life. With that engagement in front of him to divert attention, his pressure would be less.
As a result, no one is paying attention to the marriage between the Ning and Lu families, but everyone is staring at him.
"Because you are beautiful today."
Lu Taipan looked at Su Liang deeply.
Entering with Su Liang as a partner in front of everyone gave the older man great satisfaction, however, the next moment, another dark emotion began to spread.
"It's so beautiful that I kind of regret it."
Lu Taipan muttered softly.
There are too many alphas present. He thought, no, there are actually a lot of betas and omegas here as well.
There were so many that Lu Taipan's original pride and satisfaction instantly turned into a dark possessiveness.
He should not have exposed his treasure to everyone's sight. He should have taken Su Liang back and locked him deep underground.
Let Su Liang only see himself from now on...
He was the only one who could enjoy his youth all to himself.
Unconsciously, Lu Taipan held Su Liang's hand tighter. The undoubted possessiveness in his pheromones and the intimidation to other alphas were also clearly conveyed to all the alphas present.
“Tsk.”
Around Lu Taipan, almost all the high-level alphas couldn't help but secretly clench their teeth and curse out loud in their hearts.
Damn old monster, if you have the guts, why don’t you stop showing off that you found a wife? ! After showing off, he now starts releasing pheromones, which are like concentrated sulfuric acid. What's going on? He wants to drive everyone out.
What made everyone feel even more disgusted was that, completely different from the tyrannical, strong and murderous pheromones, Lu Taipan treated his Omega in a tender and affectionate manner while sitting in the seat.
"Disgusting old man..."
Lin Yifei grunted through his teeth.
There are far fewer high-level Omegas than alphas. Finding an Omega that matches their level is harder than climbing to the sky for these high-level alphas. They never dreamed that Lu Taipan, who is at the double S level, could actually find his partner.
Yes, there was no need to even look. Just from the level of peace of their mental strength, everyone had already noticed that Lu Taipan and Su Liang were a very well-matched pair.
And looking at those two people again, of course mainly Lu Taipan himself, and his clingy attitude towards his Omega, it is even more certain - yes, they are a couple.
Every time I thought about my own lonely life, I felt a little comforted: Look at that old monster from the Lu family, he is so strong, but he will be lonely like me for the rest of his life...
But now all those private self-consolations have turned into sourness.
It makes people feel uncomfortable...
And a little envious.
