Chapter 44: Fated Omega, Love Me Again Part 1

Xiao Luo suddenly sensed a strange, indescribable odor assaulting her. It made her feel utterly wretched, dizzy, and lightheaded. Her body swayed, on the verge of collapse.

“Heh heh~” Seeing Xiao Luo in this state, Xiao Qing sneered smugly, “Now you get it! This is the consequence of crossing me, you Waste Alpha!”

As the words left her mouth, a heavy slap landed across her face.

The next moment, Xiao Luo lunged onto her. Unsteady, Xiao Qing toppled backward and crashed hard onto the floor.

Without any courtesy, Xiao Luo sat on her stomach and unleashed a flurry of slaps to her face, delivering countless hard smacks.

“Your pheromones are making me sick! So disgusting! Damn it, I’ll teach you to be arrogant, to not know your place…”

Xiao Luo seemed utterly provoked. Every slap was delivered with all the strength in her body.

Xiao Qing couldn’t react in time. She stared blankly at Xiao Luo’s grim, fierce expression, finding it utterly unfamiliar. In those short few dozen seconds, her face was slapped until it swelled up high, a truly wretched sight.

“Damn you!” Snapping back to her senses, she grabbed Xiao Luo’s wrists and shoved her away forcefully.

Xiao Luo stumbled and fell to the ground, taunting her, “I’m a Waste Alpha? Then aren’t you even more useless than a Waste Alpha?”

Xiao Qing stood up, her expression twisted as she grabbed Xiao Luo’s collar. “You deserve to die!”

This waste actually dared to hit her? She must have a death wish.

Just as she was about to raise her fist and strike Xiao Luo, an angry shout came from the distance: “Xiao Qing, what are you doing?! Stop right there!”

Old Madam Xiao had sensed something was wrong and came out to check. She saw this scene immediately—this unfilial granddaughter was actually raising her fist to hit her own little aunt. She was truly becoming more lawless and outrageous by the day!

She had been leaning on her cane, but anger propelled her into a swift stride.

Before Xiao Qing’s fist could land, Old Madam Xiao struck her hard on the head with her cane. “You wretched brat!”

Struck again on her already-injured head, Xiao Qing instinctively loosened her grip on Xiao Luo.

“Mother—” The moment she was released, Xiao Luo hugged Old Madam Xiao’s leg and sobbed, “She called me a Waste Alpha and even released her pheromones at me.”

“What?!” Old Madam Xiao was shocked. She looked at her daughter with concern. Xiao Luo’s face was flushed red; she seemed to be in great discomfort. She immediately said to the steward, “Quick, call Professor Xia and have her come over.”

The steward nodded hastily and immediately dialed Xia Lingyu’s number.

Old Madam Xiao ordered someone to help Xiao Luo back to her room to wait. Then, she looked at Xiao Qing with a cold gaze and struck her heavily on the body with her cane.

“You dare treat your little aunt like this?!”

Professor Xia had said that Xiao Luo was in the middle of her differentiation and couldn’t be influenced by other pheromones, otherwise she might fail her differentiation entirely.

Xiao Qing felt a bellyful of stifled rage with nowhere to vent it. Eyes red, she glared at Old Madam Xiao as if she wanted to rush over and fight the old woman to the death.

“What did I do to her? I hadn’t done anything yet, and she started hitting me!” Her face was swollen from the slaps.

Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly. “You deserved it! Who told you to be disrespectful to an elder?”

“How is she an elder?” Xiao Qing remained defiant.

Hearing this, Old Madam Xiao released her own pheromone suppression. Xiao Qing suddenly felt her legs go weak, and she knelt on the floor.

She widened her eyes in disbelief. Wasn’t this body an S-class Alpha? How could it be so easily suppressed by an Alpha of the same level?!

Seeing her so useless, Old Madam Xiao narrowed her eyes and said, “What right do you have to judge others? Aren’t you just a Waste Alpha yourself?”

She had also sensed Xiao Qing’s abnormality. The Xiao Qing of the past and the Xiao Qing of now were like two completely different people. And now, Xiao Qing was so weak, suppressed in an instant…

Forget it, checking on her daughter was more important.

So she said coldly, “Wretched girl, I’ll deal with you later. If anything is wrong with your little aunt, I won’t let you off!” With that, she turned and left.

Xiao Qing watched Old Madam Xiao’s departing figure with unwillingness, a vicious thought rising in her heart.

That old hag was going to die sooner or later anyway. What difference did it make if she died a little earlier?

Once all the inconvenient people were eliminated, she could do whatever she wanted.

…

Ten minutes later, Xia Lingyu drove up to the gates of the Xiao Residence. She quickly got out and strode inside, her usually composed face showing a trace of fluster.

“Professor Xia, quickly, the Eldest Miss is in great discomfort right now,” the steward said while leading the way.

Xia Lingyu nodded. During the call with Old Madam Xiao, she had already roughly understood what had happened.

Xiao Luo’s gland had been injured once before. Xia Lingyu had spent three months healing it, and the gland itself had recovered quite well, just waiting for the final differentiation.

Xiao Luo could have differentiated naturally, which would have been much more comfortable.

If stimulated by an Alpha’s pheromones, Xiao Luo might be forced into premature differentiation.

Xiao Qing’s face flashed through Xia Lingyu’s mind, and her eyes instantly turned icy cold.

When she arrived at Xiao Luo’s room, Xiao Luo was lying on the bed, eyes tightly shut in great discomfort. Her face was flushed red as she endured the agony.

Old Madam Xiao sat anxiously by the bedside, gently wiping the sweat from Xiao Luo’s face. Seeing Xia Lingyu finally arrive, she quickly stood up and said, “Professor Xia, please help Xiao Luo.”

“Madam, don’t worry. Xiao Luo will be fine,” Xia Lingyu reassured her gently. Then she walked over, lifted Xiao Luo in her arms, and carried her toward the medical room.

Old Madam Xiao wanted to follow them in. Xia Lingyu said, “Madam, during treatment, there can be no interruptions. If you trust me, please leave this place to me. I promise Xiao Luo will be fine.”

“Alright, I’ll go out then.” Old Madam Xiao obediently walked out and even closed the door.

Xia Lingyu let out a sigh of relief. She bent down and stroked Xiao Luo’s forehead, feeling a scalding heat against her palm.

Xiao Luo opened her eyes. Her gaze was glistening and pitiful as she whimpered, “Professor, I feel so awful…”

She grabbed Xia Lingyu’s hand and placed it on her chest. “Listen, my heart is beating so fast. Is it going to jump out?”

“Where else do you feel uncomfortable?” Xia Lingyu inquired about the specifics of her condition.

Xiao Luo answered, “Everywhere feels terrible. It feels like I’m about to…”

Her eyes were watery, brimming with moisture. Incomprehensible murmurs escaped her lips, her voice growing softer and softer, just like her body. She felt as if she were melting into a pool of water.

“Professor~ Professor~” Xiao Luo kept calling out to her, as if that was the only way to feel some relief.

“I’m here.” Xia Lingyu gently kissed her lips and comforted her, “Baby, don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”

“Professor, I want to be joined with your body and never be apart.” Amidst the agony, Xiao Luo also felt an infinite emptiness. Not just her body, but her heart too—she wanted to be completely filled by a part of Xia Lingyu.

Xia Lingyu carefully helped her sit up and took a sedative injection from the medical equipment box. “Baby, don’t move. After this injection, you’ll feel a bit better.”

During the injection, Xiao Luo indeed felt a cooling sensation travel up her arm. The burning heat in her body subsided considerably, and the discomfort lessened. But she still felt somewhat empty, though she couldn’t pinpoint where exactly.

She glanced at Xia Lingyu with a hint of resentment.

Xia Lingyu stroked her cheek and said, “Be good, sleep now. Once you sleep, it’ll be better, very quickly.”

She bent down and kissed Xiao Luo’s forehead again.

Xiao Luo did feel sleepy. She closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep slumber, slowly drifting off.

Xia Lingyu checked Xiao Luo’s current physical condition. Her vital signs were relatively normal, only her body temperature was a bit high. So she set up an IV drip to bring down the fever.

Only after doing all this did she sigh in relief. She tucked the blanket around Xiao Luo and walked out of the room.

Going downstairs, she saw Old Madam Xiao sternly scolding Xiao Qing: “You wretched, contemptible thing! What has your little aunt ever done to you that’s so bad? Why would you harm her like this?!”

Xiao Qing sneered, “You only see me harming her, but you don’t see what she did to me! Look, my face is still swollen!”

She touched her face with a bit of heartache. After all, this was her body now, and it had such a beautiful face.

Old Madam Xiao was about to scold her again but, seeing Xia Lingyu come down, stood up and asked, “How is it, Professor Xia?”

Xia Lingyu replied, “You can rest assured, Old Madam. Xiao Luo is fine now, but she’s asleep. When she wakes up, her body will have returned to normal.”

“Thank you, Professor Xia,” Old Madam Xiao breathed out in relief.

Xia Lingyu said humbly, “You’re too polite, Madam. This is my duty.”

Xiao Qing looked at Xia Lingyu with disdain in her eyes. It seemed this Professor Xia wasn’t just abnormal in her sexual orientation—her taste was also poor. Liking an Alpha was one thing, but she actually liked a weak Alpha like Xiao Luo.

Xia Lingyu felt her gaze and her own eyes fell on Xiao Qing. A cold, mocking smile curved her lips. “I’ve heard that Miss Xiao Qing’s pheromones used to be cedar-scented. How did they suddenly change to a fecal odor? That’s quite a drastic change.”

Xiao Qing’s heart lurched at these words. Was her pheromone scent different from the original host’s? How had she not noticed it herself?

And why was her pheromone scent the smell of shit?!

At this thought, Xiao Qing’s face flushed red with shame. She couldn’t accept this fact! She was the transmigrated book character, the true protagonist! How could her pheromones smell like feces?!

Xia Lingyu continued slowly, “Miss Xiao Qing, Xiao Luo was probably disgusted by the pheromones you released. This disgust might become a permanent shadow in her heart.”

Disgusted, your ass!

Xiao Qing was enraged. She shouted, “Xia Lingyu, stop spouting nonsense here! And who do you think you are? You’re just an outsider, meddling in our Xiao Family’s affairs?”

Old Madam Xiao frowned and said, “Professor Xia is the son-in-law I’ve chosen, the future wife of your little aunt. You will speak to her with respect.”

Hearing this, Xiao Qing was still somewhat incredulous. These two were actually planning to get married? What a joke!

“Miss Xiao Qing, you still haven’t answered my question. Why did your pheromones suddenly change?” Xia Lingyu pressed aggressively.

Old Madam Xiao stared at Xiao Qing, a barely perceptible cold light flashing in her eyes.

Under the gazes of both women, Xiao Qing felt some pressure. Her mind was a bit chaotic, so she blurted out nonsense: “Why can’t they change? Changes in one’s own body—who can control that? What business is it of yours, an outsider?”
