Chapter 29: Her Lover, the Deceiver Part 2

The two nodded.

Lieutenant Colonel Wu hastily interjected, “General, the Emp—”

General Qin raised a hand to stop Lieutenant Colonel Wu’s words, then smiled at the two and nodded. “Very well.”

—

The ranking pillar changed. Jia Hua became first in Class A. Zhen Yan dropped to second. Mo Siyi was third…

And on the official homepage of the Imperial Fourth Military Academy, the names Jia Hua and Zhen Yan were prominently displayed. Behind their names were the dazzling characters “SS” and “S”—their Mental Power Levels.

Furthermore, every teacher and cadet at the Imperial Fourth Military Academy received a message on their phones from the academy’s official notification system.

【Warm congratulations to our academy’s outstanding cadet Jia Hua, whose Mental Power has reached SS-Rank!】

【Warm congratulations to our academy’s outstanding cadet Zhen Yan, whose Mental Power has reached S-Rank!】

All teachers and cadets: ?!!

SS-Rank? S-Rank?

I-I-I… My god!!!

Seeing the message, the cadets nearly went insane!

Zhen Yan wasn’t 5A-Rank—she was S-Rank!

And that Jia Hua! Who was she? Which class? She was actually SS-Rank!

Cadets in the middle of class shot up from their seats and rushed to the windows, gazing out at the towering ranking pillar. Jia Hua was in first place!

Who was Jia Hua! Who was Jia Hua!!

“Heavens! Look! The former name ‘Qin Hua,’ ranked 33rd in Class A, is gone! Her name has vanished!” a cadet shouted.

Jia Hua = Qin Hua?!!

This equation spun wildly through the minds of the surrounding cadets.

The teacher at the podium watched the excited cadets below shaking their heads, letting them be.

Quietly standing at the podium, she opened the first-year teacher group chat.

Certain Military Psychology Teacher: “AAAAAHHHH, oh my god! S-Rank! SS-Rank! Our academy has TWO! Our academy is about to soar to the heavens!”

Certain Tactical Basics Teacher: “HAHAHAHA, the academy must be going crazy with joy! For next year’s recruitment, those top A-Rank Mental Power Users in the Imperial Capital are going to choose OUR school!”

Certain Military Theory Teacher: “Director Xiao, come out and say a few words. Share your feelings at this very moment…”

Grade Director Major General Xiao: “Mm, gone crazy with joy.”

Multiple teachers: “HAHAHAHA, so honest!”

#JiaHuaZhenYan S-Rank MentalPowerUsers# (Explosive)

It rocketed to the #1 spot on StarNet’s Hot Search.

Countless Imperial netizens exploded when they saw this trending topic.

S-Rank Mental Power Users!

Clicking in, they found—good heavens—not just one! Two S-Rank Mental Power Users! Both from the Imperial Fourth Military Academy!

This Imperial Fourth Military Academy was simply too incredible!

The entire internet was abuzz with heated discussion.

At An City No. 2 High School, Senior 3 Class 1, during the afternoon class period, Zhang Juan, slacking off as usual, checked StarNet’s Hot Search for any interesting popular topics. To her shock, the top explosive trending topic… she seemed to spot her friends’ names in it.

Zhang Juan clicked in… and instantly shot to her feet, letting out a piercing “AAAAAAHHHHH!”

“ZHANG JUAN! This is a classroom! Why are you screaming?!” Homeroom Teacher Lin Ling slammed her desk in fury from the podium.

“AAAAAAHHHHH!” Zhang Juan couldn’t stop screaming. Overwhelmed with excitement, she ran to the podium, shoving her phone at Lin Ling. “Homeroom Teacher, Jia Hua! Zhen Yan! They’re both S-Rank Mental Power Users! S-Rank! They’re trending at the top now!”

Lin Ling’s eyes widened as she took Zhang Juan’s phone and looked at the Hot Search. The people in the keywords were indeed Zhen Yan and Jia Hua, dressed in military uniforms!

The students in class also frantically pulled out their phones to check the Hot Search. Immediately, the entire Senior 3 Class 1 erupted!

As for why Jia Hua, originally sent to the Imperial Capital Omega Academy, had become a cadet at the Imperial Fourth Military Academy… they didn’t care about that right now. All they knew was: Jia Hua was SS-Rank! Zhen Yan was S-Rank!

Within just half an hour, a massive banner was hung at the main gate of An City No. 2 High School: 【Warm congratulations to our outstanding graduating students Zhen Yan and Jia Hua for becoming SS-Rank and S-Rank Mental Power Users!】

In short: the entire Empire had exploded!

And the two individuals who triggered this scene, Jia Hua and Zhen Yan, were currently at the “Treasure Hunt Holy Land.” Jia Hua had brought Zhen Yan to collect her money.

Two figures draped in cloaks, faces masked, appeared at the entrance of the Holy Land Auction House. They were immediately escorted into the Super VIP room by the same Doorman from last time.

“Please wait just a moment, esteemed Seniors. Our Boss will be here right away!”

“What did you sell here?” Zhen Yan leaned close and asked.

Jia Hua smiled. “Mental Power.”

Under her mask, Zhen Yan raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, you could sell Mental Power for money?

Jia Hua added, “I’ll teach you when we get back. Before long, us two becoming the richest in the Empire won’t be a problem.”

Zhen Yan: “…”

The door soon opened. A meticulously made-up woman walked in. Upon seeing two “Seniors,” she froze, unsure which one was the person she’d met last time.

“Greetings to both Seniors,” Ge Qiuqian greeted first.

“This is my lover. I brought her along to look around,” Jia Hua said in her low, husky voice.

Ge Qiuqian quickly volunteered, “Do you require me to guide the Seniors around Planet Dinkley? Besides the Imperial Fourth Military Academy, which can’t be entered, I can show you almost any other place.”

Jia Hua chuckled lowly. “No need. We’re just strolling around casually. The money?”

Ge Qiuqian immediately pulled ten cards from her bag. “After taxes and the auction house commission deduction, you have a total of 2,996,992,715.27 yuan. Our house has rounded it up. Here are ten cards, each containing 300 million yuan. All are White Cards. You can transfer the funds directly into your magnetic cards.”

“Thanks.” Zhen Yan took the ten cards, tossing one to Ge Qiuqian. “Tip.”

Ge Qiuqian was instantly moved to tears.

What kind of divine being was this? Not only had she only spent 100 million to acquire an S-Rank Mental Power-carrying treasure worth 3 billion, but she also casually handed out a tip of 300 million!

Senior was truly a Great Benefactor.

Jia Hua kept the remaining nine cards. She gave five to Zhen Yan and kept four for herself.

Well, a person needed a bit of private savings, after all. Otherwise, it was hard to buy things.

Before they left, Ge Qiuqian enthusiastically gifted them each a copy of the Holy Land Auction House’s Precious Auction Catalog, hinting that if either of them fancied any item, she would reserve it for them.

Upon returning to their dorm, they found several people in luxurious attire standing in the small courtyard. Mo Siyi, head lowered, followed behind them.

Jia Hua and Zhen Yan exchanged a glance, then walked over.

If they weren’t mistaken, these were the so-called Emperor and Empress.

Only Jia Hua, Zhen Yan, the Emperor, and the Empress entered the dormitory to talk. Everyone else remained outside on guard.

They talked for half an hour before exiting. The Emperor and Empress smiled brightly. Jia Hua and Zhen Yan also smiled as they saw them off.

They had just signed an agreement and an employment report.

Should invaders attack the Empire, the two were required to don golden armor and lead soldiers to repel them. If no invasions occurred, they would receive a generous monthly salary.

At the couple’s insistence, the Empire could not interfere with their free love and could not mandate that they produce offspring.

The Emperor and Empress agreed to everything.

After the imperial family and officers left, the two noticed numerous cadets staring at them from a distance. They hurriedly entered their room and drew the curtains.

Tsk, tsk, never seen powerful people before? Their drool was practically dripping!

The lives of these two S-Rank Mental Power Users drew intense attention. The news that they cohabited quickly spread across the internet. At the Imperial Fourth Military Academy, cohabitation was strictly forbidden. These two top experts were dancing a jig on the academy’s rules!

Everyone was curious: would the academy punish them according to regulations, or turn a blind eye to their rank and status?

The cadets waited and waited. They didn’t get an answer about their cohabitation status—but they did get the reason for it.

On the Imperial Fourth Military Academy forum, Jia Hua directly posted images of two Marriage Certificates, captioned with a single line: 【Legally wedded wives, officially certified (heart)】

The entire academy forum exploded!

What?!! Jia Hua and Zhen Yan were married?

Don’t joke around! How could two Alphas marry? The Empire’s laws didn’t recognize—what did you say? Zhen Yan is an Omega?! An S-Rank Omega?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Zhen Yan be an Omega?! She was so strong! Her physique was so excellent! She was so tall! How could she be an Omega!

Countless cadets clicked open those two Marriage Certificates, examining them endlessly. On Zhen Yan’s certificate, the gender column indeed read: S-Rank Omega.

Everyone’s minds went blank, blown away by the wind.

Some were heartbroken:

So the two S-Rank Mental Power Users internally resolved it among themselves… Wuwuwu, they had originally wanted to introduce their Omega younger siblings to these two! Who could have guessed the two got together themselves!

Some were furious:

The Imperial Fourth Military Academy actually recruited a female Omega!

Many cadets posted on the forum, arguing that female Omegas had no place in a military academy—it was irresponsible towards them, the Alphas!

But the forum admin replied to the disruptive threads with a single statement—minimal damage, maximum insult: 【Zhen Yan is an S-Rank Mental Power User. If you’re so capable, you be S-Rank too.】

Countless cadets had their spirits utterly broken.

The admin then added: 【Zhen Yan has Jia Hua. She won’t affect any of you.】

All cadets: “…”

Inside the dorm bedroom, Zhen Yan looked at the two little red booklets in her hand and laughed, “Weren’t we too impulsive? Letting them talk wouldn’t hurt.”

Jia Hua shook her head. “How could it be impulsive? This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Now that out-of-district registration is possible, I’ve long wanted to take you to get this certificate. That way, you’d completely be mine. And of course, I’m yours too.”

Jia Hua twisted her body, pretending coyly. “Wife, I’m yours.”

Zhen Yan laughed. She raised her left hand. It was bare. “We didn’t even go through a proposal, yet we got the certificate. Wasn’t I too easy for you to marry?”

Jia Hua grabbed Zhen Yan’s hand and shook it. “Why talk about marrying or being married between us? Then you marry me, I’ll be the one wedded to you, alright? My mothers will be your mothers-in-law, and you’ll be their son-in-law. I’ll be your wife.”

As she spoke, Jia Hua removed the Black Ring from her right hand and slipped it onto the ring finger of Zhen Yan’s left hand.

This ring was useless now. But Jia Hua still wore it day and night. It was, after all, the last thing the Head of the Atonement Group had given to her.

Her life of one hundred forty-four lifetimes was finally, with this one, over.

Jia Hua looked at Zhen Yan’s surprised, delighted expression, and her smile spread wide.

A small, ugly ring could make Zhen Yan so happy. She truly was deeply in love with me.

The atmosphere was perfect. They drew close, four lips meeting, falling backward onto the large, soft bed. Grape-scented and Mango-scented Pheromones intertwined, inseparable.

The sky outside turned from black to white.

When Zhen Yan awoke in bed, the spot beside her was already empty.

‘So early, unlike her…’ Zhen Yan thought groggily.

The daylight was somewhat harsh. She raised her hand to block it, only to find her finger glittering.

She snapped her eyes wide open, finding in disbelief that on the ring finger of her left hand, there now rested a dazzling, brilliantly colorful diamond ring. The ring was crystal clear—a pink diamond.

But suddenly, Zhen Yan negated that judgment.

Oh, wait, she’d seen wrong. It was clearly a blue diamond.

Ah, no, it seemed like a green diamond now!

Zhen Yan turned her left hand, amazed to discover that as she rotated it, the diamond ring displayed different colors! Every single color was exquisitely beautiful!

A Rainbow Diamond Ring?

She got out of bed, wanting to share this ring with Jia Hua, when her foot stepped onto a thick layer of rose petals forming a Rose Petal Carpet.

Each petal was exquisitely soft. She followed the trail of rose petals out of the bedroom, finally stopping in front of the dining table. Jia Hua was bringing breakfast from the kitchen and placing it on the table.

“You’re awake?”

Zhen Yan wrapped her arms around Jia Hua’s neck, her chin resting on her shoulder, smiling. “The ring is very beautiful. I like it very much.”

Jia Hua hugged her back and asked gently, “Do you also like the roses?”

Zhen Yan let go of Jia Hua and turned her head to look at the rose petals covering the floor. She nodded. “Very much. Very beautiful. You worked hard. Did you stay up all night?”

Jia Hua smiled, then suddenly produced a bouquet of fresh, vivid roses from behind her back. The flowers were so vibrant, they looked on the verge of blooming further. They were stunning.

“Zhen Yan, will you marry me?” Jia Hua offered the bouquet to Zhen Yan.
