Chapter 60 Calm
◎A little◎
When she met Luo Wei, Shi Hanqiao had just escaped to the Corpse Demon Cave. Before that, she had changed countless masters.
Her existence is like an innocent person and an innocent monster being locked together by someone with ulterior motives. They are ugly hybrids born out of some unspeakable dark experiment and irresistible physiological desire respectively.
As far as she could remember, she had never been treated like a human being. She was locked in a cage like a dog, chains tethered to her neck and limbs. Every day, she was mindlessly bled and her flesh cut. When her master was in a good mood, she felt no pain. But when he was in a bad mood, even when she wasn't being experimented on, she would bear all sorts of scars: burns from flames, whippings, knife wounds, sword wounds...
Those days were not forgotten with the passage of time. Instead, they seemed to be engraved in my soul, and I would think of them whenever I saw something related to them.
Shi Hanqiao twirled the pinky ring on her left hand. It was for this very reason that she'd eliminated bracelets and anklets during military training. She had indeed let go of the past, but there was no need to bring unhappiness upon herself.
Woman A's silence made Luo Wusheng feel uneasy. Her eyes were fixed on the anti-bite ring. For a moment, he noticed that the aura emanating from her body seemed to have gathered all the darkness in the world. For just a single breath, he felt as if he was shrouded in a suffocating prison.
He couldn't help but want to take back the anti-bite ring. Before he could say "forget it", the suffocating aura he felt dissipated like a spring breeze. Luo Wusheng even suspected that the darkness he felt was an illusion.
Instead, there was an aura he couldn't understand, but he had felt it from the Demon Lord. He couldn't explain what it was like, but he knew that seeing her now gave him an inexplicable feeling of encouragement, as if there was nothing to fear in this world.
"Change position."
Shi Hanqiao pulled the young man outside, walked to the sofa, and sat down neatly, with a casual and cool posture.
"Help me put it on."
There was still a lazy look between her brows, but after sitting down, she did not curl up in the sofa as usual. Instead, her straight back and arms casually draped on the sofa showed a kind of majesty that made people feel cold.
Woman A casually handed the anti-bite ring in her hand to the young man. She tilted her head slightly, as if he was about to put a crown on her instead of the shackle-like anti-bite ring that once trapped her.
Luo Wusheng tried his best to steady his trembling hands in mid-air. He hesitated and paused, not knowing whether he should continue.
She possesses a strong self-confidence that comes from her heart. She is arrogant but not overbearing. Her lazy and meaningless attitude in daily life is a cold-eyed indifference that transcends the world.
However, he always felt that such a contradictory yet integrated attitude must have been formed because he had experienced unspeakable darkness while seeing a faint but firm light.
Before he had time to think deeply, he heard the urging voice of girl A.
Luo Wusheng took a deep breath, leaned over and placed the opened anti-bite ring against her slender white neck. He put his arms around her shoulders and fastened the ring for her as if hugging her. He didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or her calm attitude that distracted him, but the ring that could be easily opened took a long time to close.
The cold silver ring knocked against the back of her fair neck several times, his knuckles accidentally pressing against the protruding bone at the back of her neck. After buckling it, he slowly stood up, unconsciously touching the remaining touch on his knuckles.
Shi Hanqiao moved the anti-bite ring on his neck, and felt a cold touch. It clicked and tightened, just like an invisible lock and restraint, making people feel sober and restricted.
It is not like chains that restrict personal freedom. It is a kind of constraint that is easy to ignore but does exist.
Shi Hanqiao hated this feeling, but she was not afraid and did not deliberately avoid it, because this feeling of restraint no longer had any effect on her.
This time, she really didn't choose the right gift. She placed the order according to the preferred recommendation on Star Online. After the gift was delivered, she couldn't open it to check it. Unexpectedly, she stepped on the young man's sore spot.
"It's your turn."
Shi Hanqiao picked up the anti-bite ring she had given him, which he had put aside, and waved it in the air.
She never lives in the shadow of the past, and if her friends have a shadow, she will choose to dispel it.
Luo Wusheng looked at her blankly. No Alpha had ever worn an Omega anti-bite ring so confidently.
Alphas are arrogant and chosen by heaven, so how could they be willing to wear collars around their necks as a restraint?
Historically, the Omega anti-bite ring was created to prevent forced marking by manic Alphas or malicious marking by Alphas with bad intentions.
But there was another proposal at the time, which was to have Alphas wear bite-proof masks.
The design of the anti-bite mask is also very beautiful, but how can the proud Alphas be willing to wear a anti-bite mask like a large pet dog wearing a muzzle?
Therefore, in order to solve the social, sexual and safety problems that may arise from Alphas, Omegas are required to wear anti-bite rings.
The anti-bite ring that Luo Wusheng put on Shi Hanqiao was a classic one, prepared by his mother for him ten years ago. They were in the situation they were in, and if they couldn't change it, they could only go with the flow, there was no other way.
He is not yet an adult, is not in estrus, and has not yet used the Omega anti-bite ring.
But that didn't stop him from hating its existence.
Luo Wusheng stared at the anti-bite ring on the hand of girl A. He didn't know if what he had just noticed was an illusion, but seeing that she was actually willing to let him wear the anti-bite ring for her, the shock in his heart could not be calmed down.
He had guessed that she had no concept of ABO because she only saw his pheromones as a floral scent and her pheromone compatibility with everyone else was zero.
After knowing the secret about her identity, some of the questions were answered and his suspicions were confirmed.
If he hadn't felt suffocated for that moment, he would have felt that she didn't understand the restraint of wearing a bite ring. Just like many people are not sensitive and sneer at things that others are sensitive to.
But he happened to notice a dark emotion at that moment, like an illusion.
Given her personality, it's impossible for her not to notice the constraints and restrictions it represents, and the emotions she concealed also proved that she had no fondness for it. Her willingness to wear it was extremely contradictory.
"Perhaps you would like to wear it and listen to a bedtime story."
Shi Hanqiao supported her face with one hand. In the young man's silence, laziness lingered around her again, and she returned to her previous state.
"Um."
Luo Wusheng nodded softly. He wanted to lean over but was pulled by woman A to sit on her lap.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar.
He accepted it with dignity.
“The story is simple.”
With a click, Shi Hanqiao opened the silver buckle, then put the silver necklace on his neck, holding the buckle loosely with his hand, and hesitated to buckle it.
Luo Wusheng couldn't help but shudder when the cold touch touched the warm and fragile neck. Then he heard the soft laughter of female A. The sense of restraint and tension when wearing the anti-bite ring were diluted a lot.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at woman A who was leaning on the sofa.
"Once upon a time, there was a special dog. She was chained to a cage, her flesh and blood cut off daily by her master for research. She was a dog, not a human. So from birth, she was raised as a dog. She had no personality, no dignity, no self, because dogs don't need these things. Her only value was to provide her flesh and blood for her master's research.
However, all living things seek benefits and avoid harm. With the exception of plants, which cannot move to survive, all other living things seek stability and escape pain. The dog began her escape journey, and the twists and turns along the way are not described here. She later acquired a useful bell, was adopted, and began a stable life.
Later, the person who adopted her died, and the little dog that could not hurt anyone grew into a big dog that could easily bite and kill people.
Later, the dog became so strong that no one could beat her.
Thus, dogs are superior to humans.
People are afraid of dogs, respect dogs, and obey dogs.
Finally, the dog became the god that controlled people’s destiny.”
Shi Hanqiao chuckled after he finished speaking, "Isn't it interesting?"
After she finished speaking, Luo Wusheng realized belatedly that the anti-bite ring on his neck had been fastened. He didn't even know when he had fastened it.
He was silent for a while, then said, "This story is so complicated."
"Really?" Shi Hanqiao smiled. "I think it's quite simple."
She pressed the ring on the back of her neck with her backhand. With a click, the anti-bite ring fell off. Fortunately, she was quick to catch it, otherwise it would have hit her leg and rolled down.
She pinched the anti-bite ring and put it back on her neck, clicking it twice, one to close and one to open.
Luo Wusheng seemed to be aware of something and pressed the ring on the back of his neck with his backhand, but it was not as easy as when she untied it.
He fumbled with the switch of the buckle again and again, but couldn't open it.
Under Shi Hanqiao's gaze, Luo Wusheng saw that the anti-bite ring was only lightly placed on her neck and not completely fastened. She felt a little embarrassed and impatient as she couldn't untie the anti-bite ring on her neck. She unconsciously increased the strength of her hands.
The edge of the hollow design of the silver ring had a slightly pointed part, and as he moved, it left reddish marks on the fragile white neck.
The pain from his neck made the feeling of restriction and restraint infinitely magnified. Luo Wusheng hated this feeling from the bottom of his heart. He became more and more irritable and the strength in his hands gradually increased. This was a vicious circle.
He was completely enveloped in pain, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over. Although he was in a spacious room, he felt as if he was stuffed in a small glass box, filled with a suffocating feeling of oppression and urgency.
Seeing more and more red marks on the young man's neck, Woman A slightly turned her eyes away, unable to bear to look at it, and immediately grabbed his wrist to stop him.
Luo Wusheng felt uncomfortable all over. The anti-bite ring on his neck was like an electronic collar on a tiger's neck, which meant restriction and restraint. He struggled with his backhand.
Seeing this, Shi Hanqiao controlled his struggling hands with one hand and held down his struggling waist with the other.
"Calm down."
