Chapter 95 Cyberabo (Free City) 08 The mermaid is angry...
Butler Reid diligently forwarded the electronic invitation to Song Qingqing.
Song Qingqing lay on the edge of the pool where Triton was, supporting her face and looking down at the invitation letter delivered by Sister Anbi on the light screen. The two options on it were also very simple: accept or reject.
For Song Qingqing, who was new to the technologically advanced world of Mission, she certainly wanted to go. She thought Alpha women like An Bi were so cool! But... it was clear that An Bi would go too.
She didn't want to go on a date in the central area with that guy who always acted pitiful and aggrieved.
But, his sister said the three of them would go shopping in the downtown area together...
It was so annoying. Triton hadn't surfaced from the water all day. Even when she slapped and punched the surface, it remained calm. It was as if he was mad at her? Was he blaming her for not visiting him more often?
Song Qingqing realized belatedly that her position was not right. She was Triton's master now, so how could he be angry with her?
How would she typically handle a disobedient toy? She'd probably punish it, but how...
When Song Qingqing was feeling distressed and hesitant, the intelligent computer on her wrist suddenly vibrated. It was the holographic video communication phone of her nominal guardian, Leut.
Why did Leut call now? According to the plot, shouldn't he have been on a mission? And then he returned to the central city of the federal capital injured.
Confused Song Qingqing answered the phone.
The projection in front of her eyes was slightly distorted for a moment, and then gradually became clear. After seeing Leut's appearance clearly, Song Qingqing was stunned for a moment.
Leut was not much different from the last time I saw him. He was standing with his back to the window, holding a silver map in his hand. He was still wearing the commander's uniform meticulously, but he seemed to have just left the front line and had not even had time to take off his hat and cloak.
What Song Qingqing cared about most were the black wings on Leut's back that had not yet been retracted.
To be precise, they cannot be called wings. They should be prosthetic limbs like Triton's tail, because no bird's wings have a metallic luster and texture. They do not look like warm and powerful wings, but more like weapons that are temporarily dormant and restrained.
It is understated and elegant, yet exudes an air of danger, like a black vulture or bird of prey on a branch.
When Song Qingqing was concentrating on staring at the wings behind Leut, the tall man turned around.
Before Song Qingqing could speak, Leut had already mentioned the invitation from the Arsun family. He closed the map screen and put it in order. "Ryder said that you received an invitation from Lina, the eldest daughter of the Arsun family?"
Song Qingqing nodded and looked up at Leut's expression. His deep-cut face was as calm as ever, showing no emotion. So Song Qingqing whispered to herself, guessing what he meant, "Can't I go?"
Leut lowered his eyes, staring silently at the girl who seemed very close but was actually far away in the federal capital from a distance of who knows how many light years.
She always seemed so nervous when facing him, which made Leut feel a little weird.
He is not some old-fashioned and strict traditional patriarch.
"Of course you can go." Leut's gaze fell on the pool behind the girl, still with that gentle and mature look and attitude. "As your guardian, Qingqing, I will not interfere with your social rights."
"The Arshon family's youngest son will be going too, right? I heard he's a very good Omega?"
Song Qingqing looked up in surprise, a little surprised.
She didn't expect that Leut, who was far away on the front line, could still know all the information in the federal capital.
But why did Leut suddenly ask about Ambi? Speaking of this kind of group portrait novel, it seems that there will be some subtle ties between the protagonists.
So, is it time for her to carry out her mission and express her perverted possessiveness?
Leut saw the crow-feather-like eyelashes of the girl he had raised tremble, and then he heard her ask softly, "Do you... think Ambi is good? As a partner, it seems that he is indeed a very beautiful person."
But with Ambi's temper, it always seemed possible that he would kill Leut.
It can be said that this is the first time in Leut's long career that he has encountered such a problem that makes him feel that the question mark is concrete.
He was so stunned that he just stood there, and the light screen in his hand fell to the ground.
Song Qingqing could clearly hear the crackling sound of the screen through the communication system. Was she so angry about being exposed? She lowered her head and pinched her fingers.
Leut didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long silence, he came to his senses. When he raised his eyes and was about to speak, he saw the girl with her head down like a child who had made a mistake. He felt helpless.
Is this child afraid that he will abandon her after finding a partner? For a sensitive and fragile Omega about to enter maturity, it seems normal to have such troubles and concerns.
So Leut rubbed his brows, trying to calm the oppressive aura around him, "Qingqing, you don't need to worry like this."
"As your guardian, I can promise you that I won't have an Omega partner. For an Alpha like me who's always fighting on the front lines, the act of combining marks will only hurt the Omega. I can't stay by her side and patiently comfort her when she needs me during her tidal period."
"This is not only irresponsible to your partner, but also to you, my ward."
Leut's tone was somewhat helpless, but he still patiently explained to the seemingly soft and harmless girl in front of him: "I'm just worried that the Alpha heir of the Arson family will hurt you."
Even as a guardian who could be considered irresponsible, he could not allow an adult Alpha to be alone with the Omega girl who seemed to have the allure of an Alpha.
This was ridiculous. If he wanted to do that, he could have used federal law to sue Arson's eldest Alpha daughter for seducing an immature Omega.
"Have I made myself clear?"
After receiving a long explanation from the other party, Song Qingqing looked at the slightly rising number above Leut's head and couldn't help but pursed her lips.
What matters is whether I have explained it clearly, not whether you have understood it. The subtle difference between subject and object can make the listener have completely different feelings.
Song Qingqing didn't really listen to Leut's words seriously. Her mind was focused on the slightly fluctuating value above his head. It seemed that she had done a very successful job this time. "Then can I be friends with Lina?"
friend?
Leut's expression froze slightly. An Alpha who was extremely cunning and had many Omega supporters, and a weak Omega who couldn't even remember his own tidal period, were they going to be friends?
Affected by the alienated magnetic field on the front line, his emotions inevitably became turbulent. What's more, Leut himself had the genes of birds of prey such as the black vulture. He pinched his temples and tried his best to retract his prosthetic wings. For Alphas like them, plunder and possession are their instincts.
Leut managed to stay calm. He kept telling himself in his heart that this child had not yet completed the basic Omega courses. It was normal for her not to understand these things as she had always been well protected. It was also normal for her to yearn for an adult animal Alpha who was disguised in a decent and elegant manner.
"Qingqing, you have to remember that Arsun's eldest daughter, that guy is an Alpha."
Leut's voice was low and gentle, like an elder trying to suppress his patience. In fact, his knuckles were turning slightly white as he pressed against the corner of the table. "To you, Alpha is the most dangerous existence."
He sighed softly, raised his hand and tapped the girl's forehead in the air.
"Um......."
It was the first time that Song Qingqing saw Lewu Te teaching her like this. She skillfully turned his words in one ear and out the other. "I know."
"Go get busy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leut saw the girl hang up the phone impatiently.
He held his forehead and sat down. The medical officer just came in from the door and saw his superior in this state, so he hurried forward to ask.
Leut turned a deaf ear to it and suddenly asked the medical officer a question.
"Luo, isn't it easy to get annoyed by the training and education of older Alphas?"
Beta·Medical Officer Law, who was completely unaffected by the pheromones, had a blank expression for a moment.
Did he hear it right?
Is the Commander saying someone is tired of his teachings? Who would have such audacity? You know, in the cruise squadron, every Alpha warrior would be as docile as a pack of wolves to their leader when they see Commander Leut. Commander Leut's training method has always been a combination of kindness and severity. He is very good at teaching Alpha warriors.
Before Medical Officer Luo could figure out how to answer his superior's tricky question, Leut spoke again.
"Luo, how can we make the immature Omega girls realize the dangers of Alphas?"
Oh, it turns out that it is an unknown Omega girl who is affecting the commander's emotions like this.
No, the commander just talked about training and education. Thinking of Omega, Luo suddenly remembered some rumors he had heard before. He heard that the commander adopted an Omega girl.
Hmm, so it seems that this is the setting where the rebellious Omega child disobeys and elopes with the Alpha he has secretly promised to spend his life with? No wonder Commander Leut looks so troubled.
Medical Officer Luo methodically tended to Leut's wounds, replying gently, "Sir, perhaps a hands-on approach to education would be feasible."
Do you practice what you preach?
Leut, who knew nothing about educating Omegas, frowned, lowered his eyes to look at the increasingly serious wounds on his arms and abdomen, and remained silent.
Medical Officer Luo observed Leut's wound for a moment, then checked his mental power source. Finally, he sighed helplessly and reminded his commander, "Commander Leut, as your personal medical officer, I must responsibly remind you that your injuries are severe. The conditions at the frontline medical station cannot restore you to peak combat condition. Please return to the capital for treatment as soon as possible. The capital is the only place with medical facilities."
Leut withdrew his gaze and applied the medical ointment on it calmly and indifferently.
"I see."
......
After hanging up the phone, Song Qingqing crossed her arms and looked at the still ripple-free water surface with a depressed look. She raised her hand and knocked on the glass, saying loudly, "If you don't get angry again, I'm leaving."
Still dead silent.
"Hmph, I won't come again! Useless toy!"
"No."
The slippery and cold slender fish tail had coiled around the girl's legs at some point, just like an extremely dangerous hunter in the water approaching its prey, terrifying and lingering.
The mermaid's ethereal and long voice echoed in Song Qingqing's ears, making her dazed for a moment.
Then, just as she realized the danger, accompanied by the sound of water splashing, the fish tail that had been motionless and quietly coiled around her legs suddenly tightened and dragged her straight to the center of the pool.
Song Qingqing, whose whole body was instantly soaked, was caught off guard and choked on a mouthful of water. She subconsciously reached out and hugged the only thing that appeared in her hazy vision - the mermaid's neck.
Song Qingqing, who was coughing violently, was only concerned with calming her breathing and had no idea how dangerous her current condition was.
The inside of her slender and delicate legs were pressed against the cold black metal scales of the mermaid's prosthetic tail. The girl's skin was delicate and soon turned red when it was rubbed by such metal scales.
The girl, in a subconscious state of survival, was holding tightly onto the only tail that was floating above the water, fearing that she would accidentally slip and fall into the water and drown.
The mermaid's sharp claws with translucent webs were carefully placed behind the girl's slender waist, just like a pet that realized its owner was vulnerable.
Song Qingqing, whose eyes were red from coughing, finally recovered and immediately punched Triton's shoulder mercilessly. Her voice was hoarse and weak after the violent coughing, "What are you doing?!"
"My master deceived me and is a liar."
"ha?"
Song Qingqing tried hard to open her eyes. There were still water droplets on her long and thick eyelashes, making her look fragile and brittle. She looked at the expressionless mermaid with a confused and puzzled look.
The mermaid Triton's silver-blue vertical pupils were staring motionlessly at the girl who was imprisoned in his arms. Then he lowered his head and kissed away the tears or water droplets on the girl's eyelashes with his cold and thin lips.
"You promised me last time that you would come visit me often and that I would be a great toy."
"But it's been a long time since the last time."
"You deceived me."
Just like the ancient legend that humans tricked mermaids into coming ashore, she did not stay with her captive forever.
