Chapter 229: The Plain Water-Scented Commander is Head Over Heels (13)

Compared to an Alpha's rut, an Omega's heat doesn't make them feel irritable.

They aren't as destructive, but they do have a strong desire to be marked during their heat.

They also become more clingy, unlike their usual proud selves.

Song Chuyi felt a sense of curiosity when he realized his heat had arrived.

The sensation of his body not being under his control, but instead driven by pheromones to react within, was somewhat similar to the alluring fragrance of the love tree.

When he was still in his original form, he had seen many humans go wild under the influence of the love tree, like wild animals.

Except for that one person.

Hmph.

Perhaps recalling some past events, a rare glint of interest flashed in Song Chuyi's eyes.

He gently curled his lips, his fingertips lightly tapping on Pei Jingnian's knuckles, slowly slipping his soft fingers between the hard knuckles.

Like a seductive siren, he whispered softly.

"Do you want to mark me?"

Pei Jingnian's eyelashes trembled, his rolling Adam's apple seemingly uncontrollable.

He held down Song Chuyi's fidgeting hand, his voice hoarse.

"You cannot be marked."

Song Chuyi raised an eyebrow, "Is it because of my undeveloped gland?"

He hooked his little finger, "Or is it because of these pheromones?"

The strong coffee scent mixed into the colorless and tasteless plain water aroma.

The bitterness was diluted, the stronger it became, the sweeter it was.

Two pheromones in perfect balance filled the room, neither one falling behind.

The pheromones collided and merged, like a steaming hot cup of coffee, slowly being served on the table.

Song Chuyi leaned his face on the back of Pei Jingnian's hand, half-lifting his head to look at him.

His gaze lingered, carrying a hint of amusement.

"Can you smell the scent of your pheromones?"

Pei Jingnian lowered his eyes, his body somewhat stiff, letting Song Chuyi playfully fiddle with his large hand.

"My pheromones taste like plain water."

His voice was extremely hoarse.

"It has no taste."

Water... this element, which is indispensable for human survival, once it becomes a pheromone for killing enemies, becomes utterly useless.

Pei Jingnian would not feel inferior because his pheromones were not strong or intense enough. He had already forged an unbreakable will to reach his current position.

So he calmly corrected what Song Chuyi had said.

To his surprise, Song Chuyi let out a soft chuckle.

"Who said that?"

"Isn't it coffee-scented right now?"

He lowered his head, and the gland marked with a red mole was exposed without any defense in Pei Jingnian's sight.

At the same time, the hard knuckles were gently touched by soft, warm lips.

"When coffee mixes with water, it creates a scent that can wake people up, right?"

Song Chuyi's gentle voice whispered in Pei Jingnian's ears, reminiscent of the seductive spirits from those novels.

"Among the Zerg, there are species that can bewitch minds. If you bring me along in the future, I can help keep people alert."

He kissed his knuckles and quickly let go.

Though he spoke of serious matters, every word seemed to playfully challenge Pei Jingnian's unyielding heart.

"You are an Omega."

Pei Jingnian tried his best to remain calm.

"Omegas cannot go to the battlefield."

Fragile Omegas are only safeguarded in the secure central star.

The battlefield? That is a place absolutely unrelated to Omegas.

"Some soldiers perished on planet XR-233 due to the sleep-inducing Zerg, didn't they?"

Song Chuyi's voice was mesmerizing, each word resonating deeply within Pei Jingnian's heart.

"The Zerg are evolving. How can humans afford to stay stagnant?"

"Whether it's taking a step forward in combat power or in ideology."

"We must move forward, right?"

With a soft chuckle, he let go of Pei Jingnian's hand.

"Jingnian, take me with you next time, okay?"

The overwhelming pheromones in the room engulfed Pei Jingnian's senses. He should have become irritable and frenzied due to this sudden sensitive period, like a beast only knowing how to mark.

But at this moment, his mind was unprecedentedly clear.

The bitter coffee scent entered his nose, affecting his mental sea, making him full of energy, and even the fatigue from the past few days vanished.

In an instant, Pei Jingnian thought of many things.

He thought of his brothers who died on the battlefield, the Alphas constantly tormented by their sensitive periods, and all the steps he took to get to where he was today.

In the end, all thoughts condensed into a single word.

"Alright."

Song Chuyi flashed a triumphant smile, hooked his pinky with Pei Jingnian's.

"So it's a deal."

"Pinky promise."

He lightly shook their linked pinkies before letting go.

Before Pei Jingnian could fully process the lingering touch, Song Chuyi lazily settled back onto the sofa.

"Because I'm in my sensitive period right now, why not have your soldiers affected by the Zerg's poison try it out?"

"It might actually work."

Pei Jingnian was taken aback. "How did you know?"

He had rushed back, partly to see Song Chuyi, but also because a new type of Zerg had appeared on planet XR-233.

These Zerg emitted a toxic gas that caused drowsiness, making even mech operations impossible.

The Second Legion had been retreating continuously because of this, and it was only after he arrived that the tide of battle turned.

"It wasn't hard to figure out," Song Chuyi said with a smile. "The Second Legion is strong, yet they called for your help over a minor Zerg invasion."

"So I figured something unusual must have happened."

"Hmm... and as your wife, my clearance level is quite high."

Suspicious, he had investigated and naturally found out.

"Should we give it a try?" Song Chuyi pressed.

Pei Jingnian took a deep breath and sat down.

"I'm still in my sensitive period. Even if I can make them alert, my pheromones might interfere with yours."

Song Chuyi wagged his index finger side to side.

"Not exactly."

"On the contrary, you're crucial."

Pei Jingnian was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"Without your pheromones, my coffee pheromones would be as harmful to the soldiers as the Zerg gas."

"The Zerg makes them drowsy, but without your coffee pheromones, they'd stay awake, unable to sleep."

"They'd become sleepless monsters."

Pei Jingnian's pupils contracted, but he quickly regained his composure.

"So, you see, you're vital," Song Chuyi's tone grew more serious. "With you, coffee isn't a monster-making brew but a mind-clearing elixir."

Pei Jingnian looked up.

In the eyes of the exquisitely beautiful little Omega, stars seemed to twinkle, breathtakingly lovely.

Those slightly pink lips moved, each word falling into his ears.

"Jingnian, you're indispensable."
