Chapter 219: The Commander with Tasteless Pheromones (Part 2)

Although Pei Jingnian's pheromones had no smell, his mental energy was overwhelmingly powerful. The host body, who was timid and fragile, had been frightened to death.

Omegas were indeed fragile creatures; they could die if not careful, which explained why there were so few Omegas in the Federation.

The host body's pheromones were peach nectar, a sweet and beautiful scent that could easily evoke an Alpha's pity.

Of course, it could also easily arouse their desires.

If it weren't for the almost strict protection of Omegas within the Federal Military Academy, a common Omega like the host body would have been mistreated long ago.

The host body had already resolved to die, anticipating the possible outcomes after graduating in the fifth year. This time, triggered by Pei Jingnian's mental energy, he finally lost all will to live.

Considering the peculiarities of this world, Song Chuyi couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the gland on his neck.

He could clearly feel a small bump on his neck.

He pressed it gently. Hmm... no sensation.

Song Chuyi lowered his hand and walked towards Pei Jingnian.

When he was half a meter away, he crouched down.

"Commander, are you still conscious?"

Pei Jingnian's uniform was soaked, his face flushed slightly, but his narrow eyes were cold and distant.

"Go away."

He spat out a single word coldly.

Song Chuyi wasn't startled. Instead, he asked, "Did you bring any suppressants?"

Pei Jingnian didn't respond.

"Looks like you didn't bring any," Song Chuyi muttered, "That’s going to be a problem."

"This warehouse is locked down; we can't get out for now."

"Have you contacted your adjutant?"

Suppressing the turmoil within him, Pei Jingnian spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The signal is blocked."

Song Chuyi rubbed his chin. "How much longer can you hold on?"

Pei Jingnian took a deep breath, the strong scent of peach nectar filling his nose. The pheromones of the young man in front of him were too intense.

He found it repulsive.

This cloying scent only made him feel nauseous.

"Stay away from me."

His voice was rough.

Song Chuyi didn't move. He could see the discomfort in him, and his gaze settled on the military dagger hanging from his waist.

He blinked and suddenly moved closer, pulling out a military knife.

Pei Jingnian's pupils shrank as murderous intent flared up in his eyes.

But in the next second, he widened his eyes in shock.

The young general pressed the military knife against his own gland, and the sharp blade easily pierced the gland's skin.

Bright red blood flowed out.

Song Chuyi smirked, "Are you afraid my pheromones will affect you?"

"Then I’ll just get rid of my gland."

The military knife pierced the gland, destroying it completely.

The peach scent vanished instantly, leaving only a faint warmth lingering in the air.

Blood poured from Song Chuyi’s neck, quickly staining his white shirt in a striking and alarming display.

Pei Jingnian’s mind abruptly cleared.

He considered himself crazy enough.

After all, no Alpha hated Omegas as much as he did, to the point that just having an Omega come within two meters of him would make him feel uncomfortable.

His friends all thought he was messed up.

But at this moment, he really wanted them to see the young man in front of him.

This kid was really out of his mind.

Omegas could only calm Alphas with their pheromones. Without pheromones, an Omega was even inferior to a Beta.

Yet this delicate Omega had smiled while piercing his own gland.

This was true madness.

Calmed by Song Chuyi’s actions, Pei Jingnian took a deep breath.

He raised his wrist and tapped a few times on his optical computer.

Song Chuyi, holding his neck, curiously asked, "What are you doing?"

"Contacting a doctor," Pei Jingnian replied.

Song Chuyi leaned over to take a look, "But there's no signal, right?"

"It’s an emergency signal," Pei Jingnian said, frowning as he shifted away discreetly.

"Oh," Song Chuyi obediently responded.

Blood continued to pour from his neck, dripping between his fingers and falling onto the ground with a patter.

Pei Jingnian’s gaze grew increasingly complicated.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

Song Chuyi smiled at him, "It hurts."

"But I don't think it hurts as much as when you're affected by pheromones."

Pei Jingnian was stunned.

It was true that an Alpha's sensitivity period could be very uncomfortable, and if there was an Omega nearby, it was even more torturous.

It would be bearable if they could mark, but without marking, it was a double agony—both physical and mental.

For Pei Jingnian, the sensitivity period was very painful, not just physically, but also because, as a proud Alpha, his pride and dignity were eroded by the pheromones.

But no one cared about that.

Because all Alphas had gone through this.

They craved the attention and closeness of Omegas, like the ultimate sycophants, putting Omegas on a high pedestal.

So most Omegas were arrogant and willful, and to them, an Alpha tortured by the sensitivity period to the point of losing rationality wasn't even worth as much as a dog.

This was the first time he had heard an Omega say that the pain of having their gland destroyed was less painful than the pain he felt when affected by pheromones.

He was about to say something more, but at that moment, the warehouse door burst open.

The medical team entered in quick succession and soon took Song Chuyi away.

Pei Jingnian stood up and saw his friend Rong Qing walking quickly over, his face serious.

"Did you hurt that Omega?"

Pei Jingnian's expression was complex, "No."

"He hurt himself."

Rong Qing frowned, "What happened?"

Pei Jingnian: "He said he didn't want his pheromones to affect me, so he destroyed his own gland."

Rong Qing:？

Pei Jingnian looked towards the warehouse door, as if he could still see the young man's smiling face.

"Rong Qing, I've finally met someone crazier than me."

Rong Qing:……

"Even though he's just a common Omega, the association will definitely investigate since something like this happened."

He patted Pei Jingnian on the shoulder, "Get ready for it."

"Yeah," Pei Jingnian replied lightly, a smile still lingering in his mind—the last image of the young man saying it hurt.

Suddenly, he broke the silence.

"Does it hurt to have your gland destroyed?"

Rong Qing gave Pei Jingnian a sideways glance, "What do you think?"

"That's the gland." Pei Jingnian's lips pressed tightly together, his voice carrying a hint of confusion.

"But he said it wasn't as bad as when I was under the influence of pheromones."

Rong Qing: ...

Damn, he really is crazy.

"Do you think... Could it be he likes me?"

"Just like those old stories say."

Rong Qing: ...

My buddy is great in every way, except for his obsession with those old novels.

Now he's acting like an idiot.

How could there be love between an Alpha and an Omega anyway?

They're just a bunch of creatures controlled by pheromones.
