Chapter 20: Her Lover, the Deceiver Part 2

The two officers behind her silently glanced at Zhen Yan, who was on the balcony talking on the phone. They both sighed internally.

An Omega-Omega relationship? What a joke. They fundamentally didn’t understand the physiological needs of Omegas. Omega Inhibitors couldn’t be used indefinitely. Overuse built resistance; the effect would diminish over time. In the end, they’d still need a comforting mark from an Alpha.

Jia Hua: “Where are you now? I just went to your place looking for you, but you weren’t there.”

Zhen Yan: “I’m at the hospital right now.”

Jia Hua: “You went to check your differentiation rank? Why didn’t you wait for me? What’s the result?”

Zhen Yan needed B-rank mental power to enter the military academy. It was understandable that she was impatient.

“It is…” Zhen Yan paused. “A-rank.”

Jia Hua’s laughter came through: “You’re amazing. Where are you in the hospital? I’m heading there now for my mental power level test. I’ll come find you after.”

Zhen Yan: “The Director’s Office at An City First People’s Hospital.”

Jia Hua: “Hahahaha, the director sought you out personally? Okay, wait for me.”

Zhen Yan: “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up, Zhen Yan returned to the office and gave General Qin an apologetic smile: “Sorry for the wait. My girlfriend will be coming to find me soon.”

“The girlfriend is coming? You two have such a good relationship.” Qin Bing smiled as she poured Zhen Yan another cup of hot tea.

“Thank you.” Zhen Yan lowered her eyes, holding the teacup. “I’m very satisfied with what I have right now. So it’s impossible for me to leave with you right now. At the very least, not until I graduate high school.”

General Qin smiled: “It’s fine, we can discuss that later. Do you know what rank your girlfriend differentiated into?”

Zhen Yan shook her head: “She happens to be coming for the test. We’ll know soon.”

General Qin gave a meaningful smile: “As long as she can reach D+ rank, I can arrange for her to enter the Imperial Capital Omega Academy. That is the best Omega academy in the Empire. Her four years of tuition can be covered by us. In addition, she can receive a monthly living stipend of ten thousand Yuan. Graduates from the Imperial Capital Omega Academy are all elites among elites.”

Independent academies specifically for Alphas or Omegas generally had much higher teaching quality than comprehensive institutions, but the tuition was often several times, or even dozens of times, more expensive.

And the Imperial Capital Omega Academy, known by everyone as an upper-class aristocratic school, was astronomically high. Beyond that, its admission had specific mental power requirements. The minimum mental power for the Imperial Capital Omega Academy was C-rank. This requirement alone filtered out many wealthy but untalented D-rank Omegas.

This kind of opportunity, for an Omega, was truly tempting. It was hard for any Omega to remain calm upon hearing of such a chance.

Zhen Yan smiled slightly at Qin Bing: “Alright, when she gets here, I’ll ask her if she’s willing to go.”

It seemed they really wanted her to enter the Fourth Military Academy immediately, right this instant. Like they were afraid of some unforeseen change.

Probably worried about other academies trying to poach her?

—

As soon as she walked into the An City First People’s Hospital, Jia Hua sensed something amiss everywhere. To her eyes, many people who clearly weren’t patients were sitting or standing, scattered throughout the hospital. Even an ordinary person like her entering the door was scanned by no fewer than three waves of people.

Hm? An A-rank Alpha warranted this much attention? Seems A-rank people are very rare.

Jia Hua raised her right hand to push back the loose hair by her ear. A black ring appeared on her slender ring finger. It looked old and ugly, like a cheap trinket bought from a roadside stall.

But this cheap trinket could make her, an Alpha, appear as an Omega to any testing machine.

The story traced back to last night. That female Netherworld Envoy’s so-called solution was actually telling her to inject more Omega pheromones to cause internal pheromone chaos. She rambled on uselessly. Just as Jia Hua was about to make an example of her, the Black and White Impermanence arrived.

“Sister Jia, just let her go. They’re all junior Envoys. None of them have a way to change gender like this. The ABO person’s gender is inscribed in their genes.” Fan Wujiu, the Black Impermanence, said helplessly.

Jia Hua released the female Netherworld Envoy’s neck and smiled faintly at Black and White Impermanence: “If it isn’t my two old acquaintances? You’ve both come. Since you know what I seek, and they don’t, why don’t you two tell me?”

“Sister Jia, we came precisely to help you. The item is with Little Fanfan. Ask him for it.” Xie Bi’an, the White Impermanence, pursed his lips in a faint smile.

Little Fanfan—Fan Wujiu—cursed internally: I curse your ancestors! Are you even human? Always throwing things onto me.

Xie Bi’an: Thanks, the grass on my grave has grown into a primeval forest. Haven’t been human for a long time.

Hearing this, Jia Hua was delighted. The Netherworld Envoys also hugged each other, grateful their ghostly lives were spared.

“What item? Give it to me.” Jia Hua stretched out her hand to Fan Wujiu.

Fan Wujiu blinked, rummaged haphazardly through his dark, archaic robes, and finally fished out a black ring, placing it in Jia Hua’s palm.

“Your Atonement Team leader gave this to me. She said as long as you wear this ring, no testing machine can detect your true gender. In front of any machine, you’ll just be an Omega.”

Jia Hua disdainfully glanced at the ring but still slipped it onto the ring finger of her right hand. “What about the mental power rank? How many S?”

Fan Wujiu was silent. “Your leader said… you’ll naturally know when you get tested. Guaranteed to satisfy you.”

Jia Hua’s lips curled upwards: “She took the wrong medicine? To be so good to me? Little Fanfan, when you go back, deliver a message for me. Tell her to keep in contact with me. If anything happens in the future, I can contact her directly.”

Xie Bi’an, hiding behind Fan Wujiu, interjected: “Your leader also said, she can no longer contact you. This ring is her retirement gift to you. She’s already pulled strings to find you a good family, destined for great wealth and honor. Once your life in this world ends, you can directly go enjoy the next life’s blessings and be a normal person again.”

Jia Hua fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. She turned to the Netherworld Envoys and said: “You may leave. Thank you all for your hard work tonight.”

The Netherworld Envoys all shook their heads: “No trouble, no trouble…”

With that, they vanished on the spot, afraid that if they delayed even a second longer, Jia Hua would change her mind about letting them go.

Instantly, only Jia Hua and the trio of Black and White Impermanence remained in the bedroom.

Jia Hua looked at the two still in her room and asked: “Is there something else?”

White Impermanence sighed, looking at the blood talisman beneath Jia Hua’s feet, and advised: “Jia Hua, it’s best you stop drawing forbidden talismans. Dealing with too many ghosts and Netherworld Envoys isn’t good for this body of yours.”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Jia Hua fell silent for a beat, then nodded. In the blink of an eye, the Black and White Impermanence vanished.

Jia Hua looked at the empty bedroom, raised her hand and waved it. The blood talisman instantly dissipated. Her previously rosy face turned pale, but still within normal range.

If she hadn’t already differentiated into an Alpha, she really wouldn’t dare casually draw a blood talisman. Otherwise, it would cost her a life.

The differentiation process itself was somewhat draining, and after this whole commotion, Jia Hua was already dizzy. She flopped onto the bed, threw the covers over her head, and slept like the dead. When she woke again, it was broad daylight.

After joyfully announcing to the family that she had differentiated into an Omega, she eagerly ran to Zhen Yan’s house to share the differentiation results, only to find Zhen Yan wasn’t home. She called, only to learn Zhen Yan had already finished her mental power level test and was A-rank!

Her girlfriend was outstanding. She was also a bit curious what mental power level this Omega identity given by team leader Ah Sin would be. 2S-rank? S-rank? At least an A, right?

Jia Hua didn’t immediately go find Zhen Yan. Instead, she first took a mental power level test at the hospital. The results came out quickly after all tests were done. The doctor, holding the results, told Jia Hua she was a D-rank Omega.

Jia Hua was instantly dumbfounded, almost grinding her perfect white teeth to dust.

Dog-sht team leader! As expected, no expectations should be placed on her. Always have to prepare for the worst!

But having something was better than nothing. After brief, raging fury, Jia Hua accepted it.

She put the test results into her backpack, then followed the hospital map to the administrative floor where the hospital leadership offices were. Just stepping out of the elevator, the corner of Jia Hua’s mouth lifted in a slight smile.

The entire floor had soldiers armed with guns stationed every three meters. All of them were looking at her with grave expressions.

Jia Hua pretended not to notice. They were just looking at her; they weren’t stopping her.

She followed the door plaques to the Director’s Office door. Outside the door stood two soldiers with ramrod-straight backs. When she reached the door, they made way for her—clearly having been notified she was coming.

Jia Hua bent her finger and knocked on the door. Her thin lips parted slightly, a clear, bright voice emerging: “Jia Hua.”

She even turned her head and smiled at the two soldiers by the door.

The door was quickly opened from inside. Zhen Yan’s face appeared before Jia Hua: “You’re here.”

Jia Hua smiled, walking in and naturally linking her arm with Zhen Yan’s: “Mm, I’m here.”

The two sat down on the sofa, looking at the female Alpha in military uniform across from them. The woman’s aura was commanding. Jia Hua wasn’t the least bit nervous.

She clung to Zhen Yan’s arm, giving General Qin a faint smile: “Hello, my name is Jia Hua. I’m Zhen Yan’s girlfriend.”

“Hello,” General Qin said warmly. “I am Qin Bing, Principal of the Imperial Fourth Military Academy.”

Principal of the Fourth Military Academy? Zhen Yan really was a big deal!

“Hello, Principal Qin.” Jia Hua smiled. “Did you come specifically for Zhen Yan?”

General Qin nodded, smiling lightly: “Indeed, I came specifically for Student Zhen Yan. This trip is in the hope that Student Zhen Yan can come with us to the military academy for more systematic study.”

“You’re amazing!” Jia Hua first turned to give Zhen Yan a thumbs-up, then looked back at General Qin. “When would she go?”

General Qin said: “Preferably today.”

“We feel deeply apologetic for separating you like this. So for you, we can arrange your enrollment into the Imperial Capital Omega Academy. All four years of tuition will be covered by us, along with a monthly living stipend of ten thousand Yuan.”

If you truly loved the other person, how could you become a stumbling block on your lover’s path to success?

Hopefully, this Jia Hua would know what’s good for her.

Jia Hua froze for a moment, exchanged a glance with Zhen Yan, then her fingers discreetly scratched Zhen Yan’s arm. Suddenly pouting, she held Zhen Yan’s arm tightly with both hands, shaking her head: “No, I don’t agree.”

Jia Hua looked up and glared at Zhen Yan: “If you dare leave me, I’ll break up with you! I won’t accept a long-distance relationship!”
