Chapter 220: The Commander with the Flavorless Pheromones is Deeply in Love (3)

Rong Qing patted Pei Jingnian's shoulder, "You'd better think about how to explain this to the Omega Association first."

"Those folks are tough to handle."

These days, Omegas are scarce, and the Omega Association is notoriously difficult when it comes to protecting them.

Now that an Omega's gland has been destroyed, regardless of whether it was self-inflicted or not, Pei Jingnian is bound to face some serious questioning.

Pei Jingnian obviously knows that the Omega Association is not easy to deal with, and he nodded coldly.

"I know."

"Did you bring any inhibitors?"

Rong Qing suddenly remembered that Pei Jingnian was in his sensitive period and quickly handed him an inhibitor.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why are you only mentioning this now? Do you realize how crucial the sensitive period is?"

He paused, "Wait, you were in your sensitive period, faced with such a sweet and enticing Omega, and you didn't mark him?"

"No, no, could it be that he was so afraid of being marked by you that he destroyed his own gland?"

As everyone knows, the pheromones of Pei Jingnian, the commander of the First Army, are odorless.

This isn't popular among Omegas.

Omegas love domineering pheromones, such as the strong scent of white wine or the lingering taste of red wine.

The bland, odorless pheromones of someone like Pei Jingnian just don't do it for Omegas.

Pei Jingnian injected the inhibitor expressionlessly, "No."

"I wouldn't mark him."

"I wouldn't mark any Omega."

He absolutely refuses to be controlled by his pheromones.

Rong Qing obviously understood the implication of his friend's words and sighed.

"Never mind, let's get checked out first."

"The Omega Association folks are probably on their way."

Pei Jingnian nodded coldly and walked out of the warehouse first.

Song Chuyi was sent to the Federation hospital.

After being treated in the medical pod, his injuries healed.

But the destroyed gland could not be restored.

He still clutched the blood-stained military dagger, making the treating doctor shudder.

"Kid, this thing is dangerous, let me take it for now."

The doctor said as he reached for the military dagger.

Song Chuyi twirled the dagger in his hand and smiled, "Thanks, Doc, it's harmless."

"I'll hold onto it."

He raised his hand to touch his injured gland and asked curiously.

"Doc, is my gland really useless now?"

The doctor's face showed a bit of regret, "The gland is totally wrecked, it can't produce pheromones anymore."

"Who hurt you?"

"Tell the Omega Association, and they'll make sure you get justice."

Song Chuyi pointed at himself and smiled brightly.

"I did it myself."

The doctor was stunned, "What?"

He was totally confused.

At this moment, the Omega Association arrived.

The doctor temporarily stepped aside, and the person from the Omega Association was the president, named Yuan Chao.

The Omega Association took this incident very seriously, and someone had leaked the news, so now the whole star network was buzzing with the news of Song Chuyi's destroyed gland.

Someone had dug up Song Chuyi's identity, a civilian Omega from a fringe star.

He's a fifth-year ancient culture major at the First Military Academy, usually timid and often bullied by some noble Omegas.

Although a civilian Omega, he was still from the First Military Academy, and with his gland destroyed and the suspect being the First Army commander Pei Jingnian, it quickly became a hot topic.

The Omega Association was under pressure to get to the bottom of it as quickly as possible.

After entering, Yuan Chao first expressed concern and then asked about Song Chuyi's injury.

Song Chuyi told the truth, "I injured myself."

Yuan Chao did not show surprise but instead looked heartbroken.

"Good child, were you coerced into hurting yourself?"

Song Chuyi shook his head, "No."

Yuan Chao persisted, "At that time, you and Commander Pei Jingnian were trapped in the warehouse, he was in a sensitive period, did he force you to do anything?"

Song Chuyi shook his head again.

"He didn't force me to do anything."

"Instead, I took his military dagger."

Song Chuyi waved the dagger, the sharp edge still stained with a trace of blood.

"President Yuan, although Commander Pei Jingnian was in his rut, he was quite restrained."

"He didn't touch me and even told me to leave."

Yuan Chao became even more puzzled, "Then why did you destroy your own gland?"

"Do you know that if an Omega's gland is destroyed, without pheromones, you can't soothe an Alpha?"

"You might even be worse off than a Beta."

Song Chuyi played with the combat knife for a moment, nodding with a bit of seriousness.

"I know."

"But the peach flavor is a bit too sweet."

He gave a bright smile to Yuan Chao.

"President Yuan, what do you think about coffee-scented pheromones?"

Yuan Chao: ...

Generally, Omegas' pheromones tend to be sweet, like peach or strawberry.

Yuan Chao's own pheromone is mangosteen-flavored, not the most intensely sweet kind, but still quite popular among Alphas.

Omegas often compete with each other, especially over the scent of their pheromones.

The sweeter it is, the more popular they are.

Of course, a civilian Omega like Song Chuyi, with only a C-level spiritual power, inevitably faces exclusion and bullying from noble Omegas.

But among Alphas, he is quite popular.

It can be said that as long as the young man in front doesn't cause trouble, after graduation, he could easily find a Beta or even an Alpha-level mecha warrior to be with.

But having lost his gland and the peach-scented pheromone, it would be hard for him to even find a C-level warrior.

As for the coffee scent he mentioned... that kind of pheromone, which only exists among Alphas, is not popular among Omegas.

In fact, it's almost detested.

Spoiled Omegas can't tolerate a bit of bitterness.

Song Chuyi observed Yuan Chao's expression, pondering that his coffee scent probably wouldn't be very popular.

But there's no way around it—he's a coffee tree, so he naturally smells like coffee.

Even after taking over this body, as his soul merges with it, his pheromones will eventually turn into a coffee scent.

This is also why he had to injure his own gland.

A sudden change from peach to coffee scent would raise more suspicion than destroying the gland and regrowing it.

After all, such cases, though rare, do happen.

Even if a new gland doesn't grow, it doesn't matter; he doesn't rely on the pheromones emitted by the gland to fight.

As a coffee tree, his entire being smells like coffee—why would he need a gland to emit pheromones for others to notice?

Song Chuyi looked down, lost in thought, but to Yuan Chao, the Omega seemed too sad to even smile.

Yuan Chao felt a pang of pity in his heart and comforted him, "Don't worry, our association will make sure you get more compensation."

If the investigation shows that Commander Pei Jingnian is not involved in this matter, they won't be able to remove him from his position.

Besides, Pei Jingnian is highly influential and powerful, and the Omega Association lacks the power to imprison him.

But they can still push for more compensation for the young Omega.

After all, Pei Jingnian is known for his immense wealth in their circles, with reportedly more than ten mining planets under his name.

If it weren't for Pei Jingnian's unusually weak pheromones, many desirable Omegas would likely seek him out.

What a shame.
