Chapter 54: Pheromone

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Mimosa

Ming Huan’s nose tip rubbed against the satin pajamas. He felt a weird feeling and lifted his eyelids to look up directly into Yu Hanzhou’s dark, sunken eyes.

The little dragon was the first to have his eyes shrink into vertical pupils as he stirred his legs and moved to the side.

He carelessly kicked Yu Hanzhou several times, and like the compass needle that had just turned an angle, his upper body was moved away as the glittering white feet stepped on his thighs.

The unsettled calf was caught by the alpha’s palm.

“What are you doing?”

“You, you, you, what are you doing?!” Ming Huan gritted his teeth roughly with the word “you”.

The palm of his hand gripped his calf, and even though it was separated by a heavy cotton material, a warm touch came over it.

“Wake up.” Yu Hanzhou said,, “you feel it, the spirit has no damage.”

There should be none.

There wasn’t even any violence in the process.

“No!” The little dragon stared at him impatiently, covering the swollen and painful gland, “Why do you bite so hard?!”

Yu Hanzhou began to survey him in the afterglow.

The tip of Ming Huan’s nose was still red and pink, similar to the color at the end of his eyes.

The lip color was a little darker than usual as it was slightly swollen from the gnawing, and there was a clear bite mark on his lip.

It was the little dragon’s own bite.

“Does it still hurt?”

“Nothing hurts.”

Yu Hanzhou let go of the little dragon’s legs, and he moved his eyes to the bottom of the bed to glance for some slippers, with the barrier patch on his slender, white neck, “But it’s a light mark, get me my slippers.”

When the mark happened, the little dragon bit his lips quietly with red eyes and held himself back from pushing him away. the tears stained his thick eyelashes one by one.

How could it not hurt?

he was a heartless omega.

He feared pain, but did not remember the pain.

He was reckless as hell, and if the alpha is not facing him tonight, the situation would not necessarily be bad.

The alpha’s eyes gradually turned cold, and the corners of his mouth were unpleasantly pursed, “But a light mark?”

“I did, the mark will not be a problem.”

“Not you.” Yu Hanzhou’s voice was a little colder, “I decided.”

‘What happened?’

‘Yu Hanzhou, why this tone of voice?’

Ming Huan, who did not find his slippers, found that he was disliked. He turned his head slowly, revealing a face full of questions directed towards Yu Hanzhou’s stinky face.

Ming Huan rolled his eyes and muttered, “I kindly gave you the mark, and you still blame me.”

Yu Hanzhou’s cold and rough expression did not loosen in the slightest, but the voice that followed was softer, “Even a little spiritual repercussion will take about three months to ease over. Xiao Huan, you are too impulsive….”

The words had just left his mouth.

Yu Hanzhou remembered that when Ming Huan was marked, tears fell but he held back in  silence as his words were muted.

‘Yes. No matter how dangerous that decision was, how serious the consequences could be, at least it was now safe.’

He shouldn’t have made Ming Huan feel any more uneasy at the time.

Today he would have worked hard.

He broke his shell just over three years ago. Ah, a lot of things have to take their time. Being such a young omega would be aggravating.

“Sorry.” Yu Hanzhou, “Today we do not first….”

Ming Huan did not imagine him with the aggrieved expression, but rather the same stinky face.

“So what?” Ming Huan said aggressively, “Marked or not, mentally damaged or not, whether it’s mild, is your mental backlash resolved or not?”

Yu Hanzhou, “….”

Ming Huan stopped Yu Hanzhou from talking to him too much by talking back with one sentence.

“Do not talk to me about the process. In the end, the results talk.”

Yu Hanzhou, “….”

Ming Huan has indeed grown quite tall in the last month, slightly taller than the average omega.

The arms and legs were long and thin, but slightly more on the thin side.

His eyebrows, eyes, and nose were all very similar to the way they were in the pup period, but there was a subtle change.

The eyes were a little bit hostile. Since the end of the eyes were a little bit red, it actually looked playful.

Yu Hanzhou’s mind suddenly thought, and a long hand fetched Ming Huan to hold again at his side, “I was not thoughtful. Go to sleep, I’ll accompany you.”

“I don’t want your company, who cares about your company?”

Ming Huan’s hand around his waist was pressed to a certain place where there was still a little pain. He suddenly remembered the mark when the dragon’s tail wrapped around his waist, “And, your tail is too strong.” Ming Huan began to settle scores, “I was kind enough to give you a mark, you, my hip bones are being pressed green by you.”

The corner of the coat lifted a little.

The bruise was not that much, but there was indeed a red line.

Yu Hanzhou was very self-conscious as he used a hand to rub, “Sorry.”

” Next time, I won’t do that.”

‘Next, where would there be another next time?’

Ming Huan grunted as he found that warm palm rubbed him in quite a comfortable way. After being fiercely marked by the big dragon, he was now back to normal so he had to ask for some compensation from him, ” A little more up.”

The palm of that hand moved upwards to the area that was no longer where the injury was, but instead the location of the stomach.

He seemed to be very much like a cub, and enjoyed having his little belly rubbed.

Ming Huan smelled faintly of the snowy mountain pheromone.

He wanted to hold him to sleep, so he deliberately digressed to give the little dragon a rub and pressed on his belly, trying to put the little dragon to sleep. The omega didn’t have any wariness towards him. The baby’s legs were curled up next to him again and he was sleepy.

Feeling like he was about to fall asleep, he asked in a daze, “I have to get up early tomorrow…. I have to get up early tomorrow… to go to the conference with you….”

“No.” Yu Hanzhou picked up his hand that was hanging on the side of the bed and rubbed his fingertips, “Tomorrow you can sleep in and get up later, the wedding announcement won’t take long, I’ll be back at about midnight.” He vaguely perceived that today after he left, the little dragon felt a little despondent when Yu Hanzhou began the trip for the main report.

He kissed his somewhat red and swollen eyelids.

He wiped the end of the moist eyes.

Ming Huan let out a very softly ‘mmm’, and his breathing was gradually even again.

As he slept, he seemed to have a vague feeling that someone had applied something to his red and swollen lips, which didn’t hurt so much.

When he woke up the next day, Ming Huan vaguely had a feeling of waking up from a big dream. He had only been awake for a minute or less, so he did not figure out that he was not only married to Yu Hanzhou yesterday, but he also told him to lightly mark him….

The bite on the lip from yesterday had completely healed. The red marks at the hip bone had also disappeared. Only the glands were still vaguely swollen and painful.

A faint smell of snowy mountains lingered around the body, Yu Hanzhou’s pheromone.

Ming Huan looked in the mirror and his pair of ears began to flush again. He swished a hand up to cover them.

‘Don’t turn red, don’t turn red!’

‘Ears, calm down a little!’

By the way, Yu Hanzhou was supposed to go to the Military Department to announce the wedding news.

Ming Huan opened the terminal and entered the star network where there was an overwhelming variety of reports and official news.

[Surprise! Federation’s Admiral announced his marriage]

[The information of the marriage partner is not announced for the time being by the Military Academy’s birth protection regulations]

[Federation’s 1st Military Academy’s principal faces acknowledgement.]

Yu Hanzhou had always gotten his affairs in order.

The Federation’s Admiral’s marriage was such a big deal, but he also kept his personal information a secret.

At the same time, the exclusive information channel for dragons revealed his differentiation news in the political and business circles of the high-level dragons. All the other dragons knew that there was a SSS-Level omega who had differentiated.

It was unbelievable news for the Technical Institute! The most exciting thing in the last hundred years!

The pheromone of a SSS-Level omega could make a breakthrough in genetic locking technology, further alleviating the genetic defects that had trapped the dragons for years.

When they drafted the application to the Federation court for the right of access to the omega who had just differentiated, they were informed of another article by the Military Department’s high encryption channel.

[He is married.]

[The license has been received, thank you for your blessing.]

The warmth of the font also was penetrated with a little unknown cold deterrent.

‘Who blesses it?’

‘The SSS Level omega little dragon cub, Ahhhh!’

‘What is preventing us?!’

[The entire right to discharge did not have to apply to the Federation court, and could first be reported to the Military Department. Otherwise, I have the right to dismiss it in any form.]

Several dragon forums blew up directly.

[How did they get married? How did they get married so fast?]

[A lot of dragons are matched and not married so fast, ah, many have to delay for a few years to a hundred years.]

[Only a little dragon cub that had just differentiated, just three years since breaking the shell.]

‘Admiral Yu was too fast!’

Dean Shu was in their own home leisurely on the recliner with a few fried food items and the post. He lightly laughed, “Not fast, not fast at all. That pheromone is 98% match, I have lived hundreds of years, and this was the first time to encounter such a high match.”

Shu Yun passed behind him, “Dad, less looking at this kind of forum, little dad does not like it.”

“Eh, do not tell your little father, a month’s allowance has not been given to me yet.”

Dean Shu closed the messy posts, and re-opened the academic board, “You come again, I am doing the serious professional things.”

Shu Yun scanned again from afar.

The posts of the sub were discussing what kind of advancement was enough for the existing world from the SSS-Level omega dragon cubs’ differentiation.

Many medical professionals began to unofficially elaborate on the serious issue of “the technical institute fighting with the identification department to persuade them for the little dragon’s priority contact”. They all had taken sides on whether “the priority for the technical institute to step up research and development of new generic inhibitors is more urgent “, or “the priority for the identification section to obtain relevant data analysis to increase the accuracy of the probability determination of differentiation” is more important….

Dean Shu said again, “When it’s more important to get married to the alpha and to have smooth marking.”

Shu Yun, “….” The forum was decent, but the people were not.

He was also shocked that some of the Dragons were in the mid-level of the Military Department. Many officers anonymously posted that there was no source and that information technology was all bullshit, and that little dragon should be allowed to serve in the Military Department as an auxiliary post in the rear to assist them in resisting the Imperial army that had recently started to act as a demon again.

‘Alas, I have been on a mission.’

Since there were so many different kinds of posts on the forum, Ming Huan simply could not wait for him to come and paid close attention to the time –

9:57.

Yu Hanzhou was coming back soon.

Ming Huan looked up and stayed in the bathroom in Yu Hanzhou’s bedroom to wash up first. Yesterday, he had not slept too well, and there was a hair on the top of his head that was always up, and it could not be pressed down no matter what.

The hair was still by the ear and it was buckled upwards.

Yu Hanzhou can be very clear about his red ears.

Thinking about it, the tip of the ear was a little red, and it spread to the earlobe with the tendency to run to the neck.

‘Ah ah ah ah.’

‘No red!’

The terminal flashed with a message that Yu Hanzhou wanted him to change clothes as the technical institute would be over there with the collection of pheromone at noon.

Ming Huan returned to the room to change clothes – Yu Hanzhou deliberately reminded, you can wear a little more comfortable, not so formal.

Ming Huan did not want to wear those clothes with collars that could strangle his neck, so he thought that a soft and loose sweater would be more appropriate.

He then put on a black letter duck-tongue hat, and was about to press the small handful of hair up.

Yu Hanzhou saw his little dragon’s door from afar.

He was wearing a dark gray jacket with a black duck-tongue hat. The letters on the hat were goose yellow, and he was also surrounded by a light orange scarf – should be because the little dragon’s glands were still a little swollen and painful, and he was conscious of trying to protect them.

The omega’s slender straight legs moved towards him.

There was like the sweet smell of a piece of orange cake.

The little young dragon took steps very easily.

The wind was wrapped in the faint smell of snowy mountain pheromone that belonged to alpha alone and was carried by the little dragon.

The alpha’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he headed towards the little dragon to meet with him and confirm that his body carried his smell.

After that, the unprecedented feeling of fullness in the depths of the mind immediately swelled the white feathered dragon that hadn’t had an omega for four hundred years.

The white feathered dragon was completely overwhelmed.

Yu Hanzhou took Ming Huan’s hand as they headed to the aircraft. His hand was gripped firmly as if he was afraid to lose him.

The aircraft followed the set course towards the direction of the technical institute.

Today, Yu Hanzhou was a bit strange.

Ming Huan stared at their hands that seemed to be stuck together with strong glue.

Genetic research section.

The vice president solemnly led them into the military security level research room.

The teenager’s pheromone was blocked by blocking stickers, but from elsewhere on his body, a cold, snowy mountain aura was vaguely permeated.

His identity, then, spoke for itself.

“Admiral. This is-“

Yu Hanzhou’s narrow eyes were always a little cold, but today, they seemed to be extra warm like a ray of the spring breeze blowing in the snowy field of the forest.

“I brought him to do information collection.”

The duck-tongued teenager seemed a little uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment. The brim of the hat could reach the thin jawline and pointed chin, and the skin was very fair. He was a little too lean for an omega that would often be raised to be round.

The vice president only skimmed a glance and immediately had the sense to avert his gaze.

It was the Federation’s Admiral’s mate, that SSS-Level omega.

“We didn’t expect you to be willing to come over in person, in fact we just contacted the Capital Star’s Xie family this morning, not knowing if that omega of theirs had finished differentiating, but they have been less than willing to cooperate with our testing efforts. It’s great that you came over.”

The smell of pheromone was all blocked and sealed, and the teenager did not release half of his spirit.

the heavenly attraction from the unique omega’s body still made the young SS-level alpha vice president’s eyes flicker from left and right.

He couldn’t could not help but raise his eyes.

The light orange scarf suited him well.

It was the kind of omega that alpha dragons cherished, without any selfish appreciation.

this still provoked a warning as the next bit of the cold aura from the alpha revealed a slight mental pressure.

The young vice-president coughed lightly and deliberately controlled himself to not easily cast non-essential looks to the precious omega.

The teenager silently removes his hat, and his lowered gaze lifts a bit, but it’s self-consciously to the man beside him, who lifts his neck, and the admiral self-consciously sidles over to him.

… Although the dragon’s listening are very good, kind of biting the ear at all does not make sense ah hello!

The air voice is hazy and soft, “To — draw blood.”

Probably young omega afraid of pain.

The vice president still couldn’t help but use the afterglow to sweep a glance again, ‘Although there was no sense, there was a kind of unconscious sense of dependence and closeness that came from the omega which was really good.

He complained in my heart, ‘When will I be matched with an omega dragon, ah?!’

Although only the afterglow swept by, it was difficult to imagine that the admiral would also show the same look.

It was completely different from the kind of aura that just warned you with mental pressure.

The pair of eyes were gentle like percolating water, and he raised his hand to rub the young omega’s soft chestnut hair, “Do not worry, no needles. It is a very common pheromone field collection analysis and some other related examination.”

The young omega got a word of reassurance, and obviously relaxed a lot.

He was so well behaved.

This was the joy of having a matching omega dragon.

The light orange scarf was taken.

The youngster was very cooperative in completing some pheromone collection lines. The whole process was very smooth as he did not throw a tantrum, and did not ask for anything from the alpha. The dragon sat very quietly.

His eyes and nose were bright and dainty.

After a simple pheromone collection and data sorting, Yu Hanzhou took Ming Huan to the flying machine. After marking the little dragon with a little taste of his pheromone, it greatly satisfied the alpha’s desire for possession.

Last night’s marker directly cured his mental repercussions.

Yu Hanzhou’s mood had never been so relaxed.

Only Ming Huan was still a little wilted today and went much better behaved than usual. Yu Hanzhou directly hugged that skinny little one onto his lap after his pheromone stained his dragon companion till no other alpha could face him.

Ming Huan jumped, “What are you doing?”

Yu Hanzhou came close to him and confirmed the scent, “If I had known that you were tired, I would not have arranged anything.”

‘What a trap.’

Temporary marker, about seven or eight days later, the smell would dissipate a lot.

Now the young omega’s body was highly stained with his pheromone concentration, and with the passage of time would become a little lighter until another mark to re-stain the pheromone scent again.

Yu Hanzhou thought that he was a person who could restrain himself, but he realized after this – he couldn’t.

The young omega dragon companion with his scent was something that he really liked.

He felt sorry for missing even a second.

Ming Huan did not understand the alpha’s possessiveness that created some heartburn.

He took it that Yu Hanzhou was tired, so he did not struggle, “Who told you to care so much?”

The original intention was to infer that Yu Hanzhou was tired of living and worrying about the reproduction of the dragon family.

Yu Hanzhou misunderstood.

“Your business, how much is not much?”

“It’s because of last night’s mark, it caused me some impact, let me hold you a little longer, okay.”

Yu Hanzhou rarely made a straightforward request to him.

Ming Huan turned his face the other way, “Then, for a while.”

Ming Huan also noticed the difference. Yu Hanzhou today liked to touch him physically, because he smelled of alpha pheromone.

He remembered what he had been taught in the course, that an alpha facing genetic defects had it very hard.

The Admiral noticed that his back stiffened when he was held in his arms. He knew that he was his husband, who had not yet had the time to hold the wedding, but he was still very uncomfortable with this kind of intimate act.

He was planning to hold on for a little while longer then let go.

He didn’t expect his hand to be inexplicably pulled.

Yu Hanzhou’s eyelids slightly lifted, and he turned his eyes down towards those white fingers, “What’s wrong?”

“You buy ingredients.”

“What?”

The little dragon shifted his weight, and his voice was soft. The tips of his ears were a little red.

“Fish filet porridge. I’ll… make it for you tonight.”

Ming Huan found himself holding the hand that seemed to stiffen at once.

The alpha’s eyes seemed to produce a subtle change. They were deep and like still water, constantly sweeping over the omega’s head.

The voice was slightly raspy, “No need, you eat early tonight….”

“If I were you, I’d stay in that fishing star for the rest of my life and not come.” Ming Huan grabbed his hand and hung his eyes towards his toes, “Fish and chip porridge is so good….”

“Why did you still think of coming?”

Yu Hanzhou froze.

Ming Huan did not like to probe the true thoughts and secrets of other people’s hearts, but he was conscious of Yu Hanzhou and was filled with curiosity.

Last night, he was foolishly marked by him.

The entire day today, he was tainted with the smell of an alpha, and Yu Hanzhou became sticky like a big dog with a meat-scented bone in his mouth. It made it hard for him to push away.

What’s even stranger was that he found himself, living on the kind of clinginess, and he could not hate him. The world of dragons was so strange, but this kind of feeling was completely beyond the scope of Ming Huan’s knowledge. A little pheromone scent was enough to influence who you love or who you don’t love. It was also too absurd.

‘In a world with the domination of pheromones… Was it true that even the heart could be shaken?’

“Ahhh – it’s okay, it’s okay, you don’t have to, it’s your own business. You don’t have to explain something to me about your decision. I asked casually, I’m really not interested at all.”

Before Yu Hanzhou could answer, Ming Huan’s head lowered even more and he continued the conversation a bit further, “When I come back tonight, I’ll cook you congee, the fish and chip congee you like.”

“Mn.”

Yu Hanzhou buried his head into Ming Huan’s neck, a pure attachment without any tyrannical rush.

Although it was sealed by the blocking sticker, he knew about the slightly red and swollen glands with his nibbling last night and the little injection of pheromone.

“Xiao Huan, luckily I found you when you broke your shell.”

The omega dragon’s back stiffened even more.

“I know what you want to ask.”

“But there is no absolute freedom in the world.”

“Even if I stay on that fishing star for four hundred years, there is no way for me to live my life freely.”

Ming Huan’s eyes faintly looked, and he raised his head to directly look into Yu Hanzhou’s deep eyes.

He had excellent bone structure. The eyebrow bones, the lips, and the angles were clear.

The voice was unprecedentedly gentle, as if lost in their own omega’s pheromone scent coming from the thin body, “It is not the same as true freedom.”

Ming Huan pupils suddenly contracted. Vaguely, he seems to be compelled by the more serious kind of pheromone. His heart began to beat violently. His ears did not seem to hear the other one ringing. The only thing he could hear was his heartbeat, and Yu Hanzhou’s voice.

“If I didn’t go to that fishing star for 400 years.”

“What about when my little dragon is alone on the trash planet and breaks its shell.”

A soft kiss imprinted on Ming Huan’s lips. It was not the first time that Yu Hanzhou kissed him. It was a casual kiss, but…. It seemed to be different from all the other kisses.

I do find it a little weird, how NH is so often referred to as an Omega that’s ‘well behaved’ and with ‘no tantrums’. That means they are generally so spoiled, as to be demanding and selfish? Yuck. Thank goodness he was raised to be an Alpha, or we’d have a very different MH (apart from his transmigrating).
The Xies are avoiding sending XS? I’m getting more convinced he’s differentiated into an Alpha.
Thank you both for the chapter. Loving this novel.
