Chapter 48: Mate

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Mimosa

In the latter part of the lesson, he couldn’t even understand the teacher’s explanation, which had never happened before for Ming Huan, who used to listen carefully in every lesson.

The teacher’s voice seemed to stay in his eardrums.

There was no way to get it into the brain.

Instead of that sound, it was squeezed into the brain.

It was the tip of his finger being held by Yu Hanzhou, who was warm and dry to the touch.

Inexplicably, it really made him feel at ease.

“Baby, are you listening?”

The teacher gently reminded him. This little omega dragon was not delicate, but had lax attention when listening to the lesson.

“Um…. Mn. “Ming Huan nodded his head. Yu Hanzhou’s appearance was changed by the virtual world after his discretion, but he was able to instantly recognize him with one glance.

The cold temperament was covered with multiple layers of cosmetic procedures that could not be hidden.

“So that, getting along with the alpha dragons, even if the other side is an underage little dragon, he will certainly take care of you and protect you. We can properly ask them, looking for help. But at the same time, do not bully them too much.” The teacher said gently, “Especially for non-mates and other alphas.”

‘Bullying.’

‘How can an omega bully an alpha when the alpha has always bullied the omega?’

‘All the laws, regulations, and even the curriculum were constantly training alphas in the direction of strength and self-control. The omega was taught the opposite.’

‘Yu Hanzhou was actually… always gentle and patient. But the rules were really… weird.’

“In many cases, for an alpha, the desire to control their need to encroach will be very strong, although they are taught to have self-control in this situation, the omegas they get along with will need to be careful not to intrude on their right to belong. Then forcibly take away their things, or, forcibly intrude into their territory, or, obviously be close enough to be in a relationship, but always try to draw a line and reduce the degree of intimacy…. That’s all unacceptable behavior for alpha dragons.”

‘The meaning was to reduce the level of intimacy, then speak.’

They were obviously a match, but they said that they were brothers.

‘This is not what he said, this was what Yu Hanzhou said!’

‘If this was such a hard thing for all dragons’ encroachment desires, why did he say that?’

Ming Huan’s eyelashes dropped, covering his pupils in the fear.

“You are now an adult little dragon, who should slowly learn to get along with your alpha, offer mutual support and tolerance, in order to go farther….”

‘Go farther.’

‘Who wants to go farther with him?’

‘Him and Yu Hanzhou?’

‘Outrageous!’

When thinking of him as a live-in partner, Ming Huan could leave this alone.

Once he considered that Yu Hanzhou was his match, something came to his mind and stuck in his throat.

He didn’t understand.

Yu Hanzhou had decisions that were so strange, so strange that he simply couldn’t accept them.

“Teacher, can I mention something?” The little dragon that seemed to have been out of focus suddenly looked up with a solemn face.

This was not like a young omega dragon.

The teacher felt surprised at the same time and quickly organized themself to deal with the tone, “Of course, baby, what is it?”

“Know that in the eyes of the alpha, there’s no way for an omega dragon to live independently, so they need to be taught from childhood to be favored, it’s implied that they should get all the good things in this world, while the alpha is just the opposite, they need to constantly work hard, restrain desire, have tough will, and finally use their excellent ability to take care of and protect of omega…. But, teacher, that is so strange….”

Yu Hanzhou’s face froze slightly, and he quickly swept a glance at the little dragon.

The words sounded like it was for a teacher, but he was in fact questioning him as the Federation’s admiral.

“Why must every dragon that’s born go to the identification section to do a sub-prediction? Why must we know what we will differentiate into? Why can’t we wait until that day?”

Ming Huan let out concisely.

The tone of the voice was calm, but the words were clear.

Yu Hanzhou’s gaze slightly darkened, and he looked at Ming Huan again with a very different look.

On the contrary, the teacher was stunned and seemingly completely confused. Her education was profound to this extent. This little dragon suddenly began to question these upper class people in order to make the rules reasonable.

This was a just differentiated omega.

‘Why did he look so different from the omega from her last class?’

The teacher subconsciously turned her head to look at the alpha dragon.

She couldn’t believe that she couldn’t answer it at once.

Once the box was opened, Ming Huan had no intention of closing it. He was matched with Yu Hanzhou which was the worst situation.

Even if he tore Yu Hanzhou’s face, he wanted to understand this – on the Federation’s side, what was the situation in the end?

“Why do alphas and omegas have to be educated in completely different ways because of innate physical differences? Then their physical differences themselves will induce them towards their respective different positions, then there is no need at all to go ahead and tell an omega and alpha what they should and should not do…. Why should there be pre-matching and why should the alpha have the right to be engaged for years after pre-matching? Why once matched, the alpha has the right to own the omega, just like an ATM…. Teacher, I don’t know why the world is the way it is. But, it should not be like this.”

The originally warm and lovely classroom instantly filled with a heavy eerie atmosphere.

The teacher’s jaw dropped as she looked at the little dragon who had picked up his record book and was seriously waiting for her answer.

Yu Hanzhou did not seem to think a young little dragon could actually whip out such words.

“Sorry.” Yu Hanzhou talked over Ming Huan in order to offer an explanation to the teacher, “He had a small probability score.”

The teacher suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this young omega looked so different, “Baby, you just mentioned things that are in the post course….Following that, it’s straight to the later stages.”

Ming Huan’s heart was in turmoil, and his notebook was clutched firmly in his hand. The afterglow swept Yu Hanzhou and he stubbornly said, “Can I?”

The teacher turned her advisory gaze to the big dragon behind him, who nodded towards her. She said, “We can’t teach beyond this level, it will easily cause confusion to little dragons….”

“Ming Huan….”

The little dragon obviously had his insistence, “Want to know.”

“If you know, it will be more confusing.”

A drop of earth. The teacher’s terminal seemed to send some kind of message.

It was from the military with special instructions.

The teacher’s face had a subtle look at the little dragon in front of her – he seemed to have close ties with the upper echelons of the Federation Army, and was her key training target.

Since the special approval for the teaching was provided, the teacher cleared her throat and began to make answers for the little dragon.

“Because, for every dragon, there is a genetic defect.”

The little dragon froze for a moment.

‘Genetic defect?’

‘What genetic defect?’

“This genetic defect is extremely targeted. It will make the higher-level alpha have a lower fertility rate. The stronger the mental energy of the omega, the smaller the survival rate. The Federation’s research institute named it the ‘genetic lock’.”

As the protagonist himself, he had a genetic defect. It was obviously so strong

‘Yu Hanzhou, did he have a genetic defect?’

“For omega hatchlings, incomparable emphasis is needed to control emotions and suppress expectations, because staging is extremely dangerous for each omega hatchling. Through the identification section for each newborn hatchling dragon, a sub-prediction is made, and the omega juvenile course will allow them usher in the split without psychological burden. At the same time, alpha had to take a mandatory education. Through this, the Federation’s nearly four hundred years of new omegas mortality rate had a continuous decline.”

After seeing the little dragon’s face in steep condensation, the teacher sensed that the little dragon’s mood felt a little wrong, and she said with relief, “Good that you grew up safely. First of all, I want to congratulate you for breaking through this barrier.”

Ming Huan was stunned.

The buzzing tone in his brain became lighter.

‘Was omega staging such a dangerous thing?’

‘Why did he think it went well, so well that there was no need to use the word “break”?’

“Omegas are fragile and prone to mental violence. Alphas are aggressive and violent. In the Federation, before the formation of this system, with young omegas’ mental energies, the adult survival rate was once below 50%. Even if they can live to that point, it was easy to be divided after the pheromone attracts an alpha because it could not help with the self-control of the alpha and they would get force-marked. Due to the heart collapsing from mental violence, they would face death. So they will constantly stress young omegas must not be easily marked.”

Ming Huan suddenly remembered.

Yu Hanzhou had said not to be easily marked.

‘Wait a minute.’

‘So, does it mean?’

All this had nothing to do with the so-called alpha domination of an omega – this world was not the same as his last AbO world.

The omega was not an alpha appendage.

That seemingly powerful rule, not pointing to Ming Huan.

It was in a high position that Yu Hanzhou had been careful as it was difficult to maintain the balance for the whole dragon reproduction.

It was just like the gentle and careful way that he took care of him.

“But even so, I can not cut off all dangers. Because there is a huge loophole in the operation of this mechanism – a small probability score may occur. A small probability split into an omega, no doubt the highest relative mortality. And a small probability split into an alpha, they usually grow in an uncontrollable direction, easily causing harm to other omegas.”

“Is there no other way but to pre-guide?” Ming Huan, basing off his experience, said again, “Is it impossible to break the genetic lock?”

The teacher replied with great regret, “In the past 400 years, the dragons have mastered a certain amount of technological research power, but there is a big gap between the level of the technological cliff before the war a thousand years ago. The research institute there in order to develop a more effective generic inhibitor for mental energy backlash paid countless efforts to create a special effects inhibitor….”

“A dragon’s life revolves around looking for their mate, the higher the level of the dragon, the more it will be based on the degree of fit divided suitable pheromone to attract each other, this can be considered a kind of ‘into’, so that dragons can more quickly find their destined dragon mate. a thousand years ago, this so-called ‘in’ brought disadvantages. This disadvantage made omega more greedy. And alphas were more violent. All the systems and rules were created to resist high-level dragons’ ‘genetic locks’ under the influence, which thus bring about mental energy damage.”

The teacher probably looked over Ming Huan from time to time to calculate his mental energy loss.

Her entire face showed a very relieved smile.

“Baby, as a small probability splitter, you split smoothly which is incredible, your mental energy loss rate is at 24%. You are too lucky.”

He remembered his senior, Shu Yun, because he was a medical student. His score for the small probability score was considered smooth, but the mental energy loss rate was as high as 47%. Following the score, he took a full month off from school to recuperate at home. he only laid down for a day.

After estrus, he was even able to go to the suburbs and fight with the imperial people, grab a fighter and leap to the agricultural planet.

All this was because of Yu Hanzhou.

Ming Huan couldn’t resist glancing at Yu Hanzhou again.

He never said anything, as if the teacher spoke and he had nothing to do with it.

Ming Huan remembered.

The night before the final point, Yu Hanzhou came to see him and pacified him, promising him that he would take him to buy good food after he was finished.

It was because of this that he was able to feel at ease at that time.

At that time, there was an extremely strong smell of special effects inhibitors on his body.

In order to be able to be with him, Yu Hanzhou, that night, secretly used a few special effects inhibitors? He had to have.

As the days went by, the inhibitor backlash was too heavy, so he was too sleepy to come back at all.

Ming Huan’s heart thumped once, and it was suddenly hard to feel.

Since arriving at the staging phase, he really felt as if dragon pheromones and genes were like a certain instinct that would guide him in a strange direction. It was inexplicably easy to cry, and easy to lose one’s temper.

Suddenly, he would especially want to eat a certain food, and as if he couldn’t eat it, he would scratch out his heart and liver like it was unbearable.

It was not only food, but also bedsheets, clothes, the room layout, aromatherapy, and many other things…. In fact, Yu Hanzhou arranged everything for him in a very proper way.

He hardly ever let him get anxious because of objective things like cravings.

Moreover, Yu Hanzhou, except the last seven days, was almost always at home with him. This kind of companionship made him feel incredibly at ease.

At the end of the day, Yu Hanzhou was giving up his familiar home. He went out to live by himself, so that he could be more accustomed to the environment for the division.

‘Since Yu Hanzhou took care of him…. He was able to differentiate so smoothly, right?’

Ming Huan subconsciously stretched out a little hand and quietly squeezed the tip of Yu Hanzhou’s finger.

This was just like countless times before.

When he was helpless, Yu Hanzhou did the same to him.

He slightly rubbed his middle finger and index finger.

When he felt the astonished gaze sweeping over him, Ming Huan pursed his red, full lips and said, with a twist, “Thank you for passing smoothly.”

His eyes did not move away because he thanked him.

On the contrary, he seems to stare more closely.

“Oh, it seems that your brother is taking good care of you, isn’t he?” The teacher said with a smile, “The little dragon is so dependent on you. In the future, when you are matched with someone, you must thank this brother.”

Ming Huan hung his little head down.

The lesson went exceptionally fast because of his disruption.

The scheduled hour-long lesson was finished in less than an hour, and it was done while combined with the pre and post lessons.

…. This efficiency was really great.

The reason was that in the adult omega course, there was no test.

Ming Huan woke up in reality and smelled the fresh fragrance of fish soup.

Yu Hanzhou’s footsteps rang outside the door, and it seemed to stop at his door for a while. Ming Huan’s heart suddenly hung, but he did not hear knocking, and the footsteps stopped for a while before it went farther downstairs.

Ming Huan took a deep breath.

Taking a pillow to cover himself, he lay on the bed and rolled around. He rolled the bed into a mess, with the quilt and pillows flying about. He twisted around like a pendulum clock and stomped his feet on the wall every now and then.

It turned out that the Federation had a reason for that rule!

The split prediction was to appease the young omega in advance, and the yearly betrothal right was to balance the adult alpha’s controlling behavior.

It had nothing to do with alpha power control.

“Oooh….”

After several stomps in a row, he found it worse that the bed seemed to be vaguely tainted with Yu Hanzhou’s scent. It was mixed with a special effects inhibitor kind of smell, even on the pillow in his arms.

His already messy heart – was suddenly more chaotic.

After a few stomp on the wall,  he then rushed to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water.

Finally, he simply put in the water to make a hot, fragrant bath…. ‘But it was no use!’

Now even the sweet fragrance of the most expensive bathing agent could not appease his inner anxiety at the moment, and he repeatedly had a tangled feeling.

In the original text, he had so many harems, and they were the only ones without Yu Hanzhou.

‘How could he match with Yu Hanzhou?’

‘Why did he cross over and somehow differentiate into an omega?!’

Even his pheromone scent had changed, and the change was a direct match with Yu Hanzhou!

‘What was this development, ah?!’

‘He transmigrated as the main character who was a powerful dragon alpha!’

‘How could he be a powerful alpha dragon’s husband, ah!’

‘Ah ah ah ah.’

‘Great fire.’

He violently stomped on the edge of the bathtub again.

A lot of water splashed out, mixed with the bubbles as it smeared his face.

‘I’m so annoyed, I’m so annoyed, I’m so annoyed!’

Ming Huan wilfully wiped himself clean and put on a new pair of pajamas.

They were so soft and comfortable, and the collar reflected the super cute little yellow duck. He got a set of slippers that had a cute duck beak at the top of the slipper. When his foot stepped on, ‘Quack.’ It actually let out a duck call!

Yu Hanzhou thought that he would like this! This is the aesthetics that alphas like! He said he would take him shopping and let him pick out his, but it turned out that he was relying on his judgment to buy blindly!

Ming Huan looked at the storage closet, only to see that Yu Hanzhou was not sure what type of items he would like and actually bought ten sets directly.

Ming Huan chose the snow-white sheep-shaped ones. The shoes on his feet were green, and stepping would let out the rustling and touch of green grass.

‘This was okay.’

When he stepped around the place, a small cluster of small green sprouts would grow.

Ming Huan squatted down and touched the small sprouts, and it was not surprising that the bright green and tender small sprouts swayed into mist that scattered in the palm of his hand.

‘So cute.’

He unconsciously relaxed, and he opened the door but actually ran head-on into Yu Hanzhou.

‘What the hell!’

He was so focused on his new pajamas that he didn’t even hear the footsteps outside the door!

‘Well, I bumped into him anyway.’

Ming Huan held his elbow and grimaced.

“Yu Hanzhou, why did you say that you are my brother?”

Ming Huan was wearing new pajamas, and his hair was almost to his eyebrows. His body was covered with the sweet scent of a bathing agent.

If close enough, you could even see his eyelashes stained with water droplets, and the tip of his nose was soaked red like a ripe little peach.

This outfit matched him.

Only, Yu Hanzhou thought Ming Huan would wear the duckling set first.

After all, when he first saw Ming Huan in his omega pajamas at Xie’s house, he was wearing goose-yellow ones.

He thought Ming Huan would like the color.

Yu Hanzhou sounded low, “Or what?”

He would say that.

It must be because he asked him repeatedly to be free from the right of engagement.

He was afraid that he would panic and feel uneasy again because of this.

An alpha resented downplaying intimacy.

That’s heaven.

Ming Huan thought of his heart scratching hard when he didn’t get ice cream. When converted to an alpha, personally saying things like the match is instead similar to being a brother should be the same feeling, right?

“Not your brother.” Ming Huan dropped his head and looked at the green toes that sounded like a mosquito humming.

The breath overhead suddenly stopped for a moment, and the tall body blocking the doorway caused a little inexplicable pressure. Ming Huan unconsciously dropped his head again.

Then, he heard Yu Hanzhou’s tone become more sluggish, “You wouldn’t want… me to say that I’m your father?”

“?!” Ming Huan was confused and swiftly looked up to see Yu Hanzhou’s cloudy face. He directly shook his head, “No….. It means that you can be silent, there is no need to explain the relationship between us….”

Yu Hanzhou did not speak again.

He found that every time Yu Hanzhou did not speak, he did not know what he was thinking. He could only cluelessly scratch his brow, “I’m a little hungry.”

“Mn, the fish soup has been stewed.”

Dining table.

Ming Huan only ate pills and a glass of juice in the morning so he had long been hungry. Yu Hanzhou gave him a big bowl, and Ming Huan took a big iron spoon to drink it extraordinarily well. He just did not know how to keep quiet.

“Because you were dragged to class today, are you unhappy?”

Yu Hanzhou broke the silence first.

“No.”

Today he mentioned it abruptly in class.

That word, it was clear that it was actually questioning Yu Hanzhou, he should not be angry.

Can’t blame him for the issue.

Ming Huan vainly defended himself – this this this, who knew that between the dragon alpha and omega, the situation was so…ah.

“Today in the classroom, that comment…. Yes, I feel strange. It’s not that I think of blaming you for not making good decisions and regulations. It is, I’m really too confused, and can not figure it out, think you are the kind of….” Ming Huan did not know, and felt sorry for having seen Yu Hanzhou as an old-fashioned and extreme omega dragon for years. he could not say anything to apologize or comfort him.

After choking for a while, he became more agitated.

“Ah, how to say? Anyway, Shu Yun senior told me not to think about it before splitting, is…. Can’t control.”

“Not questioning you.”

Yu Hanzhou stretched out his hand and took a tissue to wipe off that little soup stain at the corner of his mouth.

Ming Huan did not know what to say to Yu Hanzhou, his last life was an extremely unequal world of alphas and omegas.

He assumed that this world was like that, and even thought it was more serious in this world.

In fact, this world was difficult for dragons, whether they were an alpha or an omega, everyone struggled while fighting their own genetic defects. This included Yu Hanzhou.

Alas, Yu Hanzhou had been an admiral for four hundred years, and it had always been so hard to maintain the balance between alpha and omega genetic defects. this wasn’t the solution, right?

A thousand years ago, the human population after the interstellar war plummeted 98%, directly leading to a technological cliff.

Development of science and technology happened so fast, and it must have been so hard to maintain it until the development of science and technology to be able to directly unlock the ‘genetic lock’ words. This has to persist until when?

‘I thought that this Federation Admiral would be happy in such a high position that can call the wind and rain. I did not expect that it would actually be like this.’

‘Yes.’

‘Yu Hanzhou.’

Yu Hanzhou was determined to hunt down and kill the protagonist for most of the book, and had to kill the protagonist with the halo.

It was really a dead one.

If it is their own words, this mess was left long ago. Even if the development of the original text of the situation, the protagonist must once again provoke the interstellar war, easy to place, he will definitely not be able to obstruct the protagonist. He wanted to stir up the sky and earth!

It was just like now.

Waited four hundred years.

“Yu Hanzhou.”

“Don’t think about this, do not worry about this again…. Aren’t you tired?”

“Okay?”

“Oh.” Ming Huan bristled, “You are more than four hundred years old, it’s time to think about how to retire.”

Yu Hanzhou gripped chopsticks in his hand over his meal, “You think I’m old.”

“I don’t mean that.” Ming Huan had a bunch of sarcasm in his heart, but he knew. He owed Yu Hanzhou an apology. “Ugh, anyway….”

While holding the fish soup bowl, he brewed for a long time.

“Right, right sorry….”

Yu Hanzhou wiped the corners of his mouth clean and gazed at the fully grown little dragon in front of him. Without the pheromone interfering with the wave, the little dragon seemed to have stabilized.

This was his future dragon companion.

“You don’t have to be sorry.”

Yu Hanzhou’s dark eyes seem to suppress the ghostly luster. As soon as they met their line of sight, that light seemed to crash straight into Ming Huan’s heart.

“Yes, it was me who failed to let you be born in a better world.”

Crashed straight into MH’s heart? Have I read that right?! I really hope so.
None of the culture for Alphas and Omegas is YH’s fault. He has always done his best for MH.
Thank you both for the chapter.
