Chapter 3: Try and die..O(￣皿￣)乂(￣皿……
As Lu Yuan touched the back of the Omega's neck, even though he hadn't found the gland yet, the red wine pheromones lingering on Lin Zhi's body suddenly became stronger, as if declaring sovereignty and not allowing anyone else to get close.
Lu Yuan wrinkled his nose.
The red wine in front of me didn't have the mellow aroma that fruit wine should have, but instead had a pungent smell of inferior quality.
"Is this the smell of Lin Zhi? Even the wine drunk by coolies tastes better than this." Lu Yuan sneered, "No wonder he always keeps it tightly covered. If someone smells it, the royal family will lose face."
Lu Yuan was once very curious about the pheromones of his nemesis, and he also wondered what the smell of Lin Zhi, his equally powerful competitor, would be like.
But now that he knew the truth, Lu Yuan instantly felt that he had won.
That's it.
When he thought that he was going to be covered with low-quality pheromones like Lin Zhi, Lu Yuan's eyes immediately showed a gleam of brilliance.
Lin Zhi: “…”
Lin Zhi's breathing stagnated, and he felt like he had suffered a loss, and it was Lu Yuan who had suffered the loss.
But now is not the time to think about this.
Lu Yuan's hand was still wandering on the back of his neck. His fingers with thin calluses gently stroked his private parts, touching a place that had never been touched by anyone except himself. The warm and rough touch made him shudder.
Lin Zhi closed his eyes and told himself to be patient.
It will be fine soon.
soon……?
After Lu Yuan rubbed it back and forth several times but still hesitated to take action, Lin Zhi could no longer bear it. "Mr. Lu, according to the details of the contract, the marking should be completed within fifteen minutes. If it exceeds the specified time, it will alert the private soldiers waiting outside."
What on earth was Lu Yuan doing? He couldn't be a hooligan, could he?
Lin Zhi then heard a frivolous sneer, and then Lu Yuan asked: "Why, Lin Zhi usually only gives you fifteen minutes?"
Lin Zhi: “…”
Lin Zhi: "Mr. Lu is very experienced, so it will probably be faster than fifteen minutes."
Lu Yuan's eyebrows twitched.
Is "kuai" used to praise men?
But Lu Yuan would never admit that he had spent years in the dungeon and returned with nothing. So he was hesitating only because...
Damn it, he couldn't find the gland!
Lu Yuan tugged at Lin Zhi's collar, exposing more of the back of his neck.
The gorgeous and delicate fabric was wrinkled, and Lin Zhi's face looked even uglier than the fabric. "Mr. Lu, I thought... you were experienced and could make a quick decision."
Lu Yuan sighed softly, "Didn't Lin Zhi teach you? How come you, a little Omega, are so unromantic?"
...Lu Yuan is really acting like a hooligan on purpose.
This guy must be used to the life of luxury in the Lower City, right? Why does he seem even more dissolute than when he was in the Imperial City?
Lin Zhi held back Lu Yuan's hand as he was about to move it back, preventing him from offending him again.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and kicked the rocking chair in front of him.
squeak--!
Lin Zhi, who was sitting in the rocking chair, felt dizzy. The next moment, he changed direction along with the rocking chair. In a blink of an eye, he was lying face down on the recliner, with the back of his neck facing Lu Yuan, who was pressing him down.
Lu Yuan thought to himself, if I touch it again, I'll definitely be exposed...
He simply lowered his head and bit the back of Lin Zhi's neck.
Lin Zhi's whole body froze.
Lu Yuan bit the wrong place, but the back of the Omega's neck was equally sensitive. Lin Zhi subconsciously wanted to break free, but Lu Yuan also straddled the recliner at this moment, pressing down on Lin Zhi, and holding his shoulders with his big hands so that he could not move.
Lin Zhi looked at the patterns on the rattan chair in front of him, and vaguely thought that he had returned to the ring seven years ago, but at this moment he could not use all his strength to kick the gangster away.
He gritted his teeth and endured it no longer, thinking that if Lu Yuan continued to push his luck, he would just show his hand and use force to subdue the man and force him to mark him.
After a few breaths, Lin Zhi, whose upper body was held down by Lu Yuan's big hand, looked slightly stern. When Lu Yuan wasn't paying attention, he raised his leg and wanted to hook him down.
……!
At this moment, Lin Zhi shuddered all over.
My heart suddenly started beating violently due to external stimulation, the world in front of me turned pure white, and my brain went into nothingness with a buzzing sound.
Just because Lu Yuan took another bite...it finally landed firmly on Lin Zhi's gland.
Lin Zhi's eyes widened slightly when his fragile gland was bitten like this, but his leg, which had been gathering strength, had already hooked onto Lu Yuan's ankle that was hanging on the edge of the chair.
He withdrew his force hastily, and the result was that Lu Yuan was pulled down painlessly. The distance between them became closer, and Lu Yuan bit Lin Zhi's gland with greater force.
Lin Zhi trembled all over. He could feel Lu Yuan's tongue tip and teeth pressing against the gland. The gland was gradually bitten through and slowly opened the door.
This strange feeling made him lose all his strength. He collapsed on the chair, his hands weakly resting on the armrests, and his slender ankles entangled with Lu Yuan's thicker ankles.
——The plan that was originally coming with great momentum turned out to be as if it was delivered to the door personally.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
The two were very close at the moment, so close that they could see each other's eyes even with a line of sight blocker. Lin Zhi turned his head slightly and saw Lu Yuan's teasing eyes, as if saying...
So impatient?
Lin Zhi: “…”
Before Lin Zhi could feel depressed, he lost consciousness again the next moment.
——The gland was finally bitten through completely, and Enigma finally began to mark it.
Lu Yuan thought to himself that the Omega's glands were very soft and located lower than he had imagined, connected to the equally fragile spinal groove. The protruding soft flesh was now trembling almost inaudibly along with its owner.
The struggle just now caused the Omega's precious and soft long golden hair to begin to fall apart. Some strands stuck to his cheeks and neck, and some strands fell on Lu Yuan, tickling the tip of his nose.
Lu Yuan pressed Lin Zhi's shoulder with one hand and lifted the troublesome hair with the other. His big hand fell on the back of Lin Zhi's head, and he bit harder to hide his clumsiness, allowing the pheromone to be injected through his teeth.
The Omega under his palm trembled more obviously, and even subconsciously dodged forward. Lu Yuan frowned. If the Omega moved, the position he had finally found would be shifted. He simply grabbed Lin Zhi's waist and pulled him in.
——You just came up to me, why are you hiding now?
“……!”
Lin Zhi didn't want to show weakness in front of Lu Yuan, so he bit his lower lip and blocked all the sounds in his throat.
At this moment, he had only one feeling.
--pain.
It hurts a lot.
As rumored, the Enigma pheromone was as overbearing as it was said to be. It forcefully entered his body through his glands, flowing through his limbs and bones. Once this overpowering pheromone entered Lin Zhi's body, it repelled the pre-existing Alph pheromone. Lin Zhi felt the pain so intense he nearly fainted, tears welling up in his eyes.
It was a pain that almost tore his body and mind apart, as if someone was stabbing him with millions of needles from inside his body.
Lin Zhi's fingers tightly grasped the handrail, his knuckles were red and bleeding, and he felt like he was about to suffocate.
In the vast expanse of white, Lin Zhi smelled a sweet and bitter taste.
...?
Lin Zhi blinked.
He originally thought that Lu Yuan's pheromones after secondary differentiation were the smell of alcohol, and that he was as indecent as others.
He had prepared himself mentally, thinking that the pheromones of red wine on the back of his neck would be covered by the more disgusting and stronger smell of alcohol, but now what came from his nose was...
Herbal flavor.
Unlike what he imagined, Lu Yuan's pheromones were the breath of the earth, like the dampness of the soil in the forest after a storm, the smell of wild grass and the fishy and bitter taste of wood bark. Among them, there were some pungent herbs that were picked, choking him so much that he almost couldn't breathe.
It is clearly the gentle scent of nature, but it hides a danger, as if it is going to drown people.
When Lin Zhi smelled the pheromone, he felt as if every part of his body was invaded by this scent, and from his hair to his fingertips, he was stained with the scent of Enigma.
Unable to escape or hide, he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless forest, with everything in front of his eyes going black and white.
In this chaos, Lin Zhi seemed to hear Lu Yuan's call.
When Lin Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and regained consciousness, he saw Lu Yuan had stood up from the recliner and was standing not far in front of him, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Lin Zhi blinked, raised his hand and touched the back of his neck. There was a slightly swollen gland with a string of teeth marks on it.
Mark...done?
There was still residual pain in the glands and body, and the red wine pheromones on the body had faded a lot, replaced by the smell of herbs.
Lin Zhi was still a little dazed.
"Twenty minutes." On the other end, Lu Yuan glanced at the terminal and spread his hands, saying, "It's timed out. Is the Princess and the Pea going to become Cinderella next?"
Lin Zhi glanced at Lu Yuan, adjusting his breathing to sound normal, calm and distant. "Mr. Lu, covering the mark once isn't enough. We're in this for the long term, but next time, can we... just mark it and not do anything else?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, leaned on the chair and looked at Lin Zhi. He had just finished marking and a warm breath sprayed on Lin Zhi's face.
The Omega's tone was resisting, but Lu Yuan could feel his body temperature rising and his breathing becoming a little rapid. He didn't have the strength to get up at the moment, and the way he leaned back in the recliner with his hands covering the back of his neck made him look even more reluctant.
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Yuan felt a little better and reached out to touch the Omega's glands, but stopped when the Omega tensed his body vigilantly. He rubbed the other's hot cheek with the back of his hand with malicious intent. He guessed that the Omega's face should be flushed at this moment.
"Anyway, Lin Zhi doesn't know."
Lu Yuan's voice was low and hoarse, his face vaguely visible in the darkness like a devil's whisper, "Didn't you do the same just now?"
Lu Yuan was referring to Lin Zhi's hook of the leg.
The next moment, Lu Yuan noticed that the Omega's breathing was choked, as if he was about to sink into the back of the chair.
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Looking at you like this, someone who doesn't know would think I did something. Am I worse than Lin Zhi? Otherwise, tell me, who is more powerful, me or him?"
When he marked it just now, he noticed that the Omega's gland was in very bad condition. He didn't know how much he had played with Lin Zhi to make the gland so bruised and battered. It was obvious that this was not a good person.
Lin Zhi was also distracted for a moment at this moment. He had never seen Lu Yuan in such a posture.
It's not a confrontation, but a sticky and dangerous intimacy, with a bit of the debauchery of a dungeon.
“Bang!”
Lin Zhi's eyes flashed, and he came to his senses and waved Lu Yuan's hand away.
Lu Yuan sneered, "At this time, you are loyal to Lin Zhi."
Then, even though Lin Zhi had not recovered his strength yet, he still forced himself to stand up by holding on to the chair, and left without looking back, like Cinderella who was rushing to leave before midnight.
"Bang!" The door was closed again. Lu Yuan looked at the back of the person leaving and shrugged.
…
…
“Your Highness…!”
On the other side, Zhou Fang looked at Lin Zhi who had returned safely to the aircraft, and his heart finally settled down.
He hurried forward to check, but just as he was about to get close to Lin Zhi, he was frightened and took a few steps back.
Lin Zhi: “……?”
Zhou Fang touched his nose and said, "No, it's okay. I was just frightened by the strong pheromones on you."
The pheromones left by the mark are always possessive, and the pheromones belonging to Enigma are even more overbearing, as if to intimidate and drive away anyone who approaches.
And this Chinese medicine smell...
Zhou Fang whispered in his heart, "His Highness has really recovered after drinking the Chinese medicine."
Lin Zhi paused.
He touched the back of his neck and put the neck ring back on to cover up the scent of Lu Yuan on him.
It was only after leaving the small dark room that Lin Zhi suddenly felt reality and clearly realized...
——He was marked by Lu Yuan.
Marked by former enemies who hated each other.
Lin Zhi never thought that seven years later he would meet his old enemy in this way, with his mark on his body.
Lin Zhi felt a headache when he thought of Lu Yuan's expression.
This time when Lin Zhi was marked, he felt nothing but pain. However, most Omegas would become aroused when being marked and would seduce their partners to do the same. As for Lu Yuan's playboyish look, he just hoped that next time he marked someone, there would be no accidental discharge of the gun.
Otherwise, he really couldn't control himself and wanted to castrate Lu Yuan.
Zhou Fang looked at the absent-minded Lin Zhi and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"A little tired." Lin Zhi rubbed his temples.
"That's probably the aftereffects of marking! Omegas usually experience some physiological changes after being marked, which is considered normal! I'll send you a link to instructions later."
Zhou Fang carefully confirmed again, "Your Highness, do you feel strange?"
Lin Zhi shook his head.
To put it bluntly, marking only takes a moment. Although Enigma's strong pheromones made the marking unusually painful, everything was still under control. Lin Zhi did not die or go crazy as rumored.
In other words, the information he and Zhou Fang had found showed that the consequences of being marked by Enigma might come true immediately, or they might slowly emerge over time.
Whether Lin Zhi can survive safely depends on what happens next.
Everything else is unknown. For example, at this moment, Lin Zhi gently pinched his temples, and Lu Yuan's pheromones stirred in his body, as if playing a game with his body.
It seems that it will take some time for the body to fully accept Lu Yuan's pheromones...
Lin Zhi took a deep breath, returned to the small room on the aircraft, and lay down in the temporary hibernation cabin to rest.
Lin Zhi clenched the bed sheet tightly with his fingers.
Lu Yuan’s pheromones lingered in his body for a long time, but what was even stranger was…his mind became increasingly confused.
He wanted more of Lu Yuan's ions, and even began to miss Lu Yuan's scent after they separated.
...something's wrong.
Lin Zhi opened his smart brain and clicked on the link Zhou Fang sent him.
That was the Pheromone Management Bureau's science panel, and Lin Zhi jumped directly to the topic of "Marking Sequelae." Previously, these had nothing to do with him, and he had never paid attention to them.
[The marked Omega will then become dependent on its Alpha partner for a period of time, manifesting as separation anxiety.]
Omegas cannot leave their partners and may experience anxiety, sadness, and other emotions due to separation. Some Omegas may nest because of this, and in severe cases, they may suffer from tear incontinence and self-harm.
[The severity and duration of the condition are determined by the strength of the Alph hormone.]
Lin Zhi: “…”
ha.
...divine gold.
It's really like what Lu Yuan said, a love brain.
[To avoid the above situation, Omegas can inject inhibitors or placebos containing partner pheromones, but this method is very harmful to the body and is highly not recommended!]
Lin Zhi thought to himself, not only was this popular science not recommended, he also had no way of doing it. His glands were already riddled with holes due to years of inhibitor injections and the placebo this time, literally.
He really couldn't use this method anymore.
If you really can't be with your partner, the most recommended approach is to carry your partner's underwear or personal items with you so that you can stay surrounded by your partner's scent.
Lin Zhi's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly... Oh no, Lu Yuan.
