Chapter 72#
World 3: Everything You Snatch Is What I Don’t Want#
The most luxurious cafe on the Imperial Capital Star had now turned into a living hell.
Panicked guests kicked over chairs, overturned tables, and smashed cups and plates all over the floor. Everyone wanted to escape, but there was only one exit.
“Break the windows and use the optical computer to control the flying cars to come up!” A guest shouted, and countless chairs were smashed towards the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
The soft clouds outside the window had long dispersed, turning into a gray sky. Thick fog rose from nowhere, slowly swallowing this skyscraper. This was the message of an impending downpour.
The sudden bad weather heralded an inevitable disaster.
Qi Zhongren’s loss of spiritual control could instantly strangle more than a dozen people. What about Yin Bozhou? If he lost control, what would be the consequences?
From SS to SSS, it was not as simple as adding a letter; it was a geometric increase in the energy level of spiritual power!
If the energy of a giant bomb suddenly showed a geometric increase, it would be a nuclear bomb, a cobalt bomb, an antimatter bomb!
It was enough to destroy most of the Imperial Capital!
Yan Yufei pinched the back of Qin Gantang’s neck fiercely and pushed him towards Yin Bozhou. At this point, he had completely torn off that gentle mask. If it weren’t for saving everyone, he really wanted to snap Qin Gantang’s neck directly!
“Release your pheromones to soothe him! Quick!”
Qin Gantang stumbled from the push, screaming in terror, his hands grabbing wildly at the surrounding tables and chairs to stop his body from falling towards Yin Bozhou.
He always said to these five Alphas: “Don’t worry, when the collapse comes, I will definitely release pheromones to save you.”
However, when this moment really came, he only wanted to save himself. He didn’t want to get close to Yin Bozhou at all, let alone release pheromones to lure Yin Bozhou over. Soothing an out-of-control Alpha was a very dangerous job; he could also be hurt or even killed.
His hands, grabbing wildly at surrounding objects, were suddenly held by a powerful large hand. This hand pulled him back and hugged him tightly.
“Don’t go over! My guards have arrived in a warship. They will break the window and pick us up in two minutes. Yin Bozhou must die, otherwise he will definitely continue to investigate Su Su’s case. He will ruin us!”
Qin Gantang looked up and realized it was Constant holding him.
“Let him die?” Qin Gantang asked blankly.
Constant covered his mouth and took him to the largest floor-to-ceiling window.
Yan Yufei was taking out chemical reagents from the medical kit he carried with him, quickly mixing a strong sedative. Qin Gantang’s pheromones could restore some of Yin Bozhou’s consciousness, and if he gave Yin Bozhou another injection, the crisis could be resolved.
This man was willing to go against the entire royal family to uphold justice for Su Su; Yan Yufei couldn’t let him die!
However, when the sedative was prepared, Yan Yufei looked up and saw that Qin Gantang didn’t go to soothe Yin Bozhou, but ran to the farthest place instead.
His face changed drastically, and he roared loudly: “Qin Gantang, what are you doing? Do you want to kill everyone here?”
His roar attracted the attention of the guests.
Yes! Qin Gantang was right here; he could soothe Yin Bozhou! Then everyone would be safe!
“Qin Gantang! What are you still standing there for?”
“Qin Gantang, what are you hiding for! This is your duty!”
“Don’t forget the oath you swore when the alliance was concluded!”
“Qin Gantang, release pheromones quickly! Do you want to kill us?”
Everyone shouted more urgently than the last. Under the gaze of everyone, if Qin Gantang didn’t make a move, his reputation would be ruined!
Qin Gantang’s scalp went numb from the urging. He had to pry open Constant’s hand and take two steps forward. Unexpectedly, Constant grabbed him back in front of everyone and firmly imprisoned him.
“Don’t go. My warship will only take us away, and they will be buried with Yin Bozhou. When this place is razed to the ground, no one will know what you did.” Constant whispered in Qin Gantang’s ear.
The struggling Qin Gantang immediately quieted down, turned his head away, and looked out the window.
Thick fog shrouded the window, and flashing red lights lit up in the fog; those were the warning lights of the flying ship. The Royal Guard was coming soon.
Seeing the two ignoring the current crisis, Yan Yufei understood everything.
He sneered twice and said with certainty: “You want to watch Yin Bozhou die helplessly because he violated your interests? You have a way to save yourselves, so you plan to let us be buried with him, right?”
The guests who looked at Qin Gantang with hopeful, help-seeking, and sorrowful eyes were stunned at this moment. They didn’t expect Qin Gantang and Constant to be so cold-blooded!
Wasn’t the conclusion of the Guardian Alliance precisely to protect more lives? But they treated these precious lives as a smooth road paved under their feet!
For their own interests, they could sacrifice everyone!
“Think of a way to save yourselves quickly! Qin Gantang is unreliable!” Someone shouted.
The next second, screams of fear broke through the clouds, everyone scrambling to escape, but in an instant, it turned into a dead silence. The screams stopped, and the fleeing turned into weak struggles and limpness.
An extremely terrifying smell instantly filled the entire cafe.
No one could describe exactly what kind of smell it was. It was the scorching black smoke after a volcanic eruption; it was the extreme pressure created by lava boiling underground; it was the deathly air emitted by sharp blades stained with blood; it was the salty breath of a giant beast larger than the entire galaxy stepping on planets and slowly approaching.
It was the smell of Yin Bozhou’s pheromones!
Before this, no one had ever smelled Yin Bozhou’s pheromones, so everyone was guessing what it was like.
Some said it smelled like red wine, some said it smelled like pine and cypress, and others said it smelled like sandalwood…
Only now did these people know that their imagination of Yin Bozhou was so shallow!
Yin Bozhou’s pheromones were not a smell that humans could possess, nor the smell of anything in the world, but the smell of death, despair, and destruction!
Those who smelled it, whether Alpha or Omega, would instantly go limp, then shed tears, choke their own necks, and give up the last trace of struggle.
They could only wait, wait helplessly.
Wait for destruction, wait for despair, wait for death…
Qin Gantang and Constant also collapsed on the ground at this moment, sweating profusely.
In such a situation, even if the warship arrived, broke the floor-to-ceiling window, and sent the Royal Guard to pick them up, no one could escape! Because the people picking them up would also completely lose their ability to move under the suppression of this terrifying pheromone!
“There will be, robot, soldiers! Robot soldiers, will not, be affected, by pheromones.” Constant stopped to gasp heavily every two words.
He was a top Alpha; his scent was the ocean! But how could the vast ocean compare with the boundless universe?
Yin Bozhou’s pheromones turned into a pair of invisible hands, choking Constant’s neck, suffocating him. Before the violent blade-like spiritual power attacked, Constant would die first from the oppression of pheromones.
Yin Bozhou could destroy life with just pheromones! Was he still human?
Constant looked at Qin Gantang. He thought this person would be the only exception; after all, the other party’s pheromone compatibility with Yin Bozhou was as high as over 90%.
Everyone couldn’t stand Yin Bozhou’s pheromones, but Qin Gantang definitely could.
But he was wrong.
Qin Gantang could no longer breathe. His face turned purple, his features twisted, his mouth opened wide trying to inhale, half of his long tongue sticking out, drooling.
This appearance was extremely ugly! If he died like this! His death appearance would be disgusting!
Constant looked away and looked around in utter despair.
The originally chaotic cafe was now dead silent. Everyone collapsed on the ground, choking their necks, bulging their eyes, being deprived of life bit by bit.
Yan Yufei held a sedative and crawled towards Yin Bozhou with difficulty. Only he was still trying.
Yin Bozhou was still sitting by the coffee table, his eyes emitting purple electric arcs having long lost focus. He looked ahead, but saw nothing.
Wind blades burst out of his body, rubbing against each other to spark thunder.
The coffee table placed in front of him was first cut into pieces by wind blades, then burned to ashes by thunder. The floor also cracked, and the huge floor-to-ceiling window made of metal glass showed spiderweb-like traces.
Everything around him would turn into ruins under the sweep of violent spiritual power.
No one could get out alive!
Yan Yufei couldn’t crawl anymore; he could only stare at Yin Bozhou with crimson eyes in despair.
A table further away was also shredded by wind blades. The vase on the table shattered with a clang, and a red rose inserted in it fell down.
A wind blade attacked the rose. Seeing that it was about to be cut into messy petals on the floor, Yin Bozhou’s unfocused eyes suddenly blinked.
Just a light blink, less than a second.
No one knew what happened.
They only knew that after one second, the purple electric light in Yin Bozhou’s pupils actually disappeared. Those bursting wind blades were all retracted into his body, the rumbling thunder disappeared instantly, and the terrifying pheromones also dispersed instantly.
All changes happened within one second.
One second ago it was destroying the world; one second later it was calm. It was as if a disaster movie had inexplicably had its climax cut out and directly ushered in a happy ending.
Yin Bozhou actually completely controlled his spiritual power in such a short time without the comfort of Qin Gantang’s pheromones.
No one died because of this; the most significant loss was just a few broken coffee tables and a few broken wooden chairs.
When the red rose was about to fall to the ground, a trace of spiritual power that Yin Bozhou had not yet retracted actually rolled it up and brought it driftingly to him.
Such violent spiritual power actually didn’t hurt a single petal.
Yin Bozhou gazed quietly at this floating red rose with pitch-black deep eyes, then reached out and gently held it in his palm. Outside the window was the gray sky and damp fog, but his profile was shrouded in a layer of warm light.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he pulled his thin lips into a gentle smile.
Yan Yufei stared blankly at this smile. Before this, he never knew Yin Bozhou could smile!
Wasn’t this man a heartless weapon? Wasn’t this man’s entire life connected only with war and destruction?
Why could he smile so warmly at a flower?
Yan Yufei exhaled, his anxious expression finally relaxing.
The others also slowly came back to their senses, and then let out hearty laughter of surviving a disaster.
Only Qin Gantang and Constant sat stiffly on the ground, their faces full of disbelief and fear.
A warship docked outside the floor-to-ceiling window at this time. The hull bore the royal mark. A laser beam hit over, cutting a circular opening in the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and extended a floating ladder, allowing the Royal Guard to storm into the cafe in a mighty force.
“Ignore the others, save the Crown Prince and Qin Gantang and retreat immediately!”
The leading captain shouted to the soldiers behind him as soon as he stepped into the cafe.
Constant: “…”
Other guests: “…”
Qin Gantang hurriedly buried his head in his knees, wishing he could disappear on the spot. His reputation would probably be ruined after today!
What is the greatest social responsibility of an Omega? It is to stand up immediately to save Alphas and everyone around them when Alphas lose control. Because of this major social responsibility, the state has given Omegas many privileges.
If they can’t even bear this only responsibility, then they don’t deserve to be citizens of the Empire!
If this matter got on the news, Qin Gantang would be spurned by everyone! Alphas would loathe him, Omegas would despise him, Betas would ostracize him, and the few Alphas highly compatible with him would also have a rift in their hearts.
Because of his overly selfish nature, Qin Gantang simply couldn’t save the few Alphas who had established an alliance with him at the most dangerous moment. He only cared about himself!
From now on, no one would ever treat him like a treasure again!
Qin Gantang shook like a sieve.
He buried his head deeper, daring not to look at the people around him at all. He could imagine how hateful the gazes focused on him were at this moment.
Yin Bozhou stood up, passed Yan Yufei, passed the guests with eyes full of eager worship, passed the embarrassed Royal Guard, and came to Qin Gantang.
He looked down at this person curled up in a ball like a timid mouse-like creature, a trace of disgust actually mixed in his cold expression: “If there is a law in the Empire that allows Alphas to dissolve the Guardian Alliance, then I will definitely submit an application immediately.”
Qin Gantang hugged his knees tightly and shook violently.
Discussions from the guests came from around: “Such an Omega, even with 100% compatibility, I wouldn’t dare to want!”
“Yeah, the Empire should set such a law!”
“I am a grand justice; I will submit this suggestion to the Legislative Council!”
Those who could come to this cafe suspended in the clouds were either rich or noble in the Imperial Capital. Their energy was enough to change the law.
Qin Gantang was afraid. He hurriedly raised his head to look at Yin Bozhou, tears of pleading overflowing in his eyes.
“Don’t—”
Yin Bozhou interrupted him, his tone hard: “I think you have seen it; I don’t need your pheromones. Since the alliance cannot be dissolved, then please leave my sight forever!”
The only tool Qin Gantang relied on to control Yin Bozhou failed just like that. He turned from a master into discarded trash.
The people around let out happy laughter, and some even applauded excitedly. The cafe owner secretly connected this surveillance video to the network and broadcast it to everyone in the galaxy!
After entering the interstellar era, Yin Bozhou was the first person in history to completely restrain his spiritual power without the comfort of Omega pheromones. And Qin Gantang was the most disqualified Omega in interstellar history!
A person like him, even if matched with five powerful Alphas, should not receive praise and respect!
Yin Bozhou withdrew his gaze from Qin Gantang and turned to look at the pale-faced Constant.
“I will no longer support you, Your Highness the Crown Prince. If the royal family does not depose you as Crown Prince, I will no longer support the royal family either.”
Leaving this resounding sentence, Yin Bozhou walked away slowly.
His overly straight back was like an unsheathed sword, but in his hand, he gently held a bright red rose.
A blade sharp everywhere actually didn’t hurt a delicate flower at all; this was really incredible!
Yan Yufei chased Yin Bozhou out of the cafe. Song Yuanyang and Kane were greatly shocked, glanced at Qin Gantang with complicated eyes, and followed out.
Guests left one after another. Those with strong enough backgrounds would leave a polite sentence when passing Constant: “Your Highness the Crown Prince, I will impeach you, please be prepared.”
Constant stood up with the help of the guards, forcing a smile to respond to these provocations. But his trembling heart told him that he was finished! The royal family would not protect him, especially after Yin Bozhou could completely control his spiritual power.
This meant that Yin Bozhou’s last weakness was also erased by himself!
No, not really! Yin Bozhou must have other weaknesses! Only under strong stimulation would his spiritual power lose control! Find the source of this stimulation, use it, and he can be destroyed!
Thinking like this, Constant pulled himself together. He found the cafe owner and asked for a copy of the surveillance video.
Everyone left, leaving only Qin Gantang curled up in the corner. No one helped him, no one came over to ask “Are you okay,” and no one tried to take him home.
The cafe staff silently cleaned up the mess, their sweeping gazes full of contempt.
Qin Gantang called Qin Tao. As soon as the call connected, he received a ruthless scolding: “The good deed you did in the cafe has spread throughout the galaxy! Tell me, who else will marry you now? Just now, the Speaker received tens of thousands of letters impeaching me! My political career will be ruined by your stupidity and selfishness! Constant can’t protect you either, because he can’t even protect himself! If you don’t get Yin Bozhou’s forgiveness, you and your mother get the hell back to the lower city! Damn bastard!”
The phone hung up.
Bastard? How many years has it been since anyone scolded me like this? It turns out the distance from heaven to hell is so short, only a few minutes!
Qin Gantang bit his lip hard, revealing a humiliated expression.
Several warships of the Central Army had arrived at the tallest skyscraper in the Imperial Capital. The hatch opened slowly, and well-equipped soldiers ran out quickly, standing in two rows to welcome their unrivaled Commander.
Yin Bozhou walked slowly towards the warship.
Yan Yufei caught up with him and asked breathlessly: “How did you do it?”
Without the comfort of highly compatible pheromones, a top Alpha could actually regain his reason on his own. If he had known earlier… If he had known earlier, Su Su wouldn’t have died.
Yan Yufei took off his glasses, revealing a pair of eyes full of bone-deep pain.
Yin Bozhou turned around and said calmly: “When you would rather sacrifice yourself than hurt a flower, you can do it.”
A trace of blood spilled from his lips again; this was the inevitable injury when retracting violent spiritual power into the body. His internal organs were probably shattered and would take several weeks to heal.
However, the flower held in his palm, which might wither with a light touch, was still so delicate and charming.
Yan Yufei stared blankly at Yin Bozhou. After an unknown amount of time, he smiled miserably: “I understand, you fell in love with someone, right? The flower you speak of is actually a person? His pheromones don’t match yours, so you learned to control yourself.”
Yin Bozhou didn’t answer, just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a faint expression, turned around, and walked into the warship.
His body had been riddled with holes by spiritual power, but his steps were so steady and firm. Holding a delicate flower, he walked firmly towards a destiny controlled by no one.
Yan Yufei looked at his back and finally shed two lines of tears.
He didn’t cry when Su Su died, but now he cried.
“Su Su, I’m sorry. If I had such determination, you wouldn’t have died.” He knelt on the ground and uttered the most painful confession.
Song Yuanyang and Kane stood not far away, looking at this scene with complicated expressions.
“Maybe we should try too.” Kane pondered.
Song Yuanyang smiled mockingly: “Don’t think that we can do what Yin Bozhou can do. He is superhuman; what are you?”
Kane clicked his tongue and complained unwillingly: “Do we really have to marry someone like Qin Gantang to live? Can you tolerate it?”
Song Yuanyang couldn’t answer this question, and his face couldn’t help but become very ugly.
Qin Qing sat on the balcony rocking in the rocking chair. A 3D light screen floated a meter away, broadcasting everything happening in the cafe.
996 lay on the coffee table, its chubby body leaning against a soft pillow, drinking a can of beer in a standard slouching posture.
“The protagonist gong is too powerful! He’s practically cheating! No wonder the mastermind behind the scenes wants his luck so much. In the cultivation world, what level is this kind of luck?” 996 asked curiously: “At the very least, an Immortal Venerable, right?”
Qin Qing rested his snowy cheek on one hand and tapped the armrest of the chair gently with the other, pondering, “His luck alone is probably that of an Immortal Venerable. If you add the luck of the previous protagonist gongs, I’m afraid he’s a Supreme Saint ruling over three thousand great worlds.”
996 rolled its eyes: “Why add the luck of the previous protagonist gongs together? This calculation is meaningless. I found out your math is very bad! The question about 801 tricks before was wrong! You are so stupid!”
Qin Qing covered his mouth and smiled with curved eyes.
“Okay, okay, okay, I’m stupid.” He said dotingly.
“You are stupid.” 996 rolled an even bigger eye.
Suddenly, crying sounds came from downstairs, and then many clothes and a suitcase were thrown onto the lawn outside.
Qin Tao pulled Fang Anna out of the house and roared: “I rented a house for you and Qin Gantang in the suburbs. You and he move out! Because of him, my position as a senator has been revoked! I’m fucking unlucky to have met you! Tell Qin Gantang, if he wants to come back, unless he brings Yin Bozhou, Song Yuanyang, Kane, and Yan Yufei back together! If these people are still willing to marry him, I will continue to support you mother and son, otherwise you get the hell back to the lower city!”
“Yo, falling out so fast!” 996 jumped onto the railing and said gloatingly.
Qin Qing raised his wrist, filmed this scene with his optical computer, and sent it to Qin Gantang who had not yet returned home.
Seeing this scene, how ashamed, angry, and panicked would Qin Gantang be? How helpless and bewildered would he be? Qin Qing imagined Qin Gantang’s reaction, feeling no pity at all, only feeling it wasn’t enough.
Just then, he received a text message; the sender was actually Yin Bozhou. He asked Qin Qing to meet in the control room next to the training ground, and immediately.
“He must want to ask about your relationship with Ren Zehuai. How will you deal with it? Why are you always circling in the Shura field?” 996 covered its mouth and snickered.
Qin Qing shook his head without speaking, and conveniently forwarded this text message to Qin Gantang, writing in an extremely provocative tone: [Yin Bozhou invited me to meet alone, guess what he wants to say to me?]
996 jumped from the railing to the table, poked its big head over, and said worriedly: “Why did you forward the text message to Qin Gantang? He will definitely go eavesdrop!”
Qin Qing looked at the vines wrapped around the railing, whose leaves were almost all gone, and said slowly: “I’m only afraid he won’t come.”
