Chapter 74#
World 3: Everything You Snatch Is What I Don’t Want#
996 was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Tens of minutes ago, it thought Qin Qing was courting death. Minutes later, it realized Qin Qing was really courting death!
Qin Qing lay in Yin Bozhou’s arms with his eyes closed. His thick eyelashes, which usually trembled slightly and glistened with a hint of moisture, were now still. His face was whiter than paper!
996’s eyes could see things ordinary people couldn’t, so it could more intuitively discover that Qin Qing was truly done for! His soul, which was already heavily injured and unhealed, had now turned into the shape of a wisp of green smoke.
This thin smoke clung to this slowly cooling body, as if a single breeze could blow him away.
The spiritual body that had been nourished by the Flower of Love in the previous worlds and had gradually grown strong was now even weaker. This wasn’t just returning to pre-liberation days; this was stepping one foot into the gates of hell! And it was the kind of hell where the soul scatters, without even a chance for reincarnation!
996 was so scared its fur stood on end. It hurriedly ran over to try and check Qin Qing’s breathing, but was blocked three meters away by a layer of energy film.
That was Yin Bozhou’s externalized spiritual power. The man was holding Qin Qing loosely with his strong arms.
He didn’t dare hold him too tightly because he also sensed that Qin Qing was about to shatter!
When they first met, he had inadvertently glimpsed the broken light flickering in Qin Qing’s eyes. He never thought this would be an ominous omen!
At that time, Yin Bozhou only thought those eyes overflowing with broken light were truly beautiful, but now, he only felt fear.
“Qin Qing! Qin Qing!” His voice was trembling.
It was still raining in his spiritual domain. The sky after the rain was a patch of azure blue, with white clouds drifting by. A fragrant breeze carrying a sweet scent blew up to the high heavens, bringing an unprecedented coolness. Wildflowers and vines grew from the moist, fertile soil, but not a single vine was in the shape of Qin Qing’s spiritual body.
Qin Qing’s spiritual body had died inside his spiritual domain; it was a martyr’s unhesitating sacrifice.
No matter how intense the stimulation, no matter how fast the spiritual power grew, from now on, Yin Bozhou’s spiritual domain would never collapse again. It was already as solid as a steel fortress.
He had broken free from the unmodifiable defects in his genes, and also from the curse that the average lifespan of an alpha was no more than 55 years. But he wasn’t happy at all. Because he knew what price had been paid for this.
Yin Bozhou picked up Qin Qing and ran swiftly towards the outside.
996 hurriedly chased after him, its four paws digging so fast they became a blur, yet it still couldn’t keep up with Yin Bozhou’s speed.
After his spiritual domain was completely healed, this man had become even more powerful!
“Commander, we are looking for you!” Several adjutants came up to meet him, speaking anxiously, “The medical ship is ready, we will send you to the Central Military Hospital immediately!”
Only when they got close did they realize that the Commander didn’t have a trace of heavy injury on him; instead, it was Military Doctor Qin in his arms who seemed to be running out of breath.
“What happened?” several adjutants asked in surprise.
Yin Bozhou didn’t answer. He quickly boarded the medical ship and ordered the pilot to rush to the hospital at full speed. The medical room at the military headquarters didn’t have advanced medical equipment and drugs; it couldn’t cure Qin Qing.
On the way, Yin Bozhou held Qin Qing the entire time. He placed Qin Qing’s head against the side of his neck, held his body in his arms, unbuttoned his military uniform, and opened his coat to wrap Qin Qing inside.
He wanted to use his own burning body temperature to preserve Qin Qing’s last bit of warmth.
“I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t love you, I just can’t let you know yet that I love you.” This confession full of guilt echoed constantly in his mind, bringing not satisfaction or joy, but extreme pain.
He suddenly tightened his arms, wanting to hold Qin Qing tight, but then panic-strickenly lightened his strength, lowering his eyes to look at Qin Qing’s pale face.
He was afraid of breaking Qin Qing.
The current Qin Qing would really break.
996 sat on a table not far away, looking at Qin Qing’s unconscious face and muttering: “Qin Qing, what are you after! The gong of this world died, you could have gone to the next world to find another gong, why did you save him! Your math is really bad, can’t you calculate? You’ve lost big time, Qin Qing! How did you survive as this flower? Signing life and death contracts at the drop of a hat, what if you meet a bad guy one day and really die, wouldn’t you be wronged? You even called me an idiot, you are the big idiot, Qin Qing!”
It was a pity that Qin Qing couldn’t hear anything.
His spiritual body drifted like thin smoke, ready to dissipate at any moment with a light impact.
996’s heart tightened.
Yin Bozhou urged sternly: “Accelerate!”
The medical ship accelerated, causing the entire rest cabin to shake.
Yin Bozhou hurriedly held Qin Qing tight, his heavy and hot breath spraying on Qin Qing’s face. Then he immediately turned his head away, breathing in another direction, because he was afraid of blowing Qin Qing away.
Several doctors gathered around to examine Qin Qing and injected him with a life-sustaining agent, their expressions grave.
“Commander, he is an Omega and has no spiritual power, how could he suffer such an injury? Even a top-level alpha couldn’t withstand such a severe injury, let alone him, an Omega. We can only maintain his life for now; specific treatment will require a consultation with experts.”
Yin Bozhou listened with a face as calm as water, one hand gently cupping the back of Qin Qing’s head, the other hand softly supporting Qin Qing’s back, holding Qin Qing in the posture of holding a baby.
He didn’t speak, so the rest cabin was deadly quiet.
996 was both afraid and anxious, and couldn’t help complaining: “Qin Qing, you idiot! Didn’t the script say that Yin Bozhou’s spiritual domain was already on the verge of collapse? He just needed to sniff Qin Gantang regularly and he would be fine. Being barely alive was enough for him. In this world, which alpha doesn’t live like this? Why did you meddle! Even if you didn’t stimulate him to mental collapse, he could have lived well. Why did you have to do this extra thing and make the situation so bad? Are you stupid?”
But 996 soon knew Qin Qing’s intention.
When the script was rewritten and the entire plot was disrupted, the out-of-control Yin Bozhou had become a thorn in the side of the royal family.
Perhaps in the original script, Yin Bozhou had always been a target for secret elimination by the royal family. All the dirty means they used against Yin Bozhou were not recorded, but were foreseen by Qin Qing.
With Qin Gantang present, it would only become easier for the royal family to deal with Yin Bozhou.
Qin Qing wanted to eliminate all the hidden dangers in the original script. And now, the effect was showing.
Three super mechas appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Yin Bozhou. There were also several unidentified warships engaging in a fierce battle with the Central Military’s warships in the air. To avoid hurting civilians, the Central Military’s warships quickly lured the enemy ships into outer space.
But Yin Bozhou couldn’t retreat because the hospital was not far ahead, and Qin Qing needed treatment.
He looked up at the three super mechas, over ten meters tall, hovering in the air. The mechas had no insignia on their paint, and it was unknown which faction they belonged to, but Yin Bozhou could guess that this was definitely the work of the royal family.
He had said in the coffee shop that he wanted to depose the Crown Prince, and if the royal family couldn’t do it, he would depose the royal family. These words gained the support of the vast majority of the public, but violated the fundamental interests of the royal family.
The royal family and the Central Military were already mortal enemies.
If not for Qin Qing’s sacrifice, the current Yin Bozhou wouldn’t even be able to pilot the Eye of Thunder, let alone counterattack. Faced with such a grand gesture, he would undoubtedly die.
But now the situation was completely different. Yin Bozhou withdrew his upward gaze and walked beneath the feet of the three mechas. He was such a tiny human, yet he could completely ignore those massive steel beasts.
The three mechas looked down at him, their huge eyes flickering with a faint cold light. One of the mechas raised its gun and aimed at Yin Bozhou’s back.
A ball of light shot out from the gun barrel. Yin Bozhou was still walking forward, very fast, without dodging.
996 was scared out of its wits.
“Help!” It scurried away with its head in its hands.
However, one second before death arrived, the ball of light was ruthlessly crushed by a pure black giant steel hand. It was the Eye of Thunder; it appeared out of thin air behind Yin Bozhou.
Yin Bozhou was still walking on the road, yet the pilotless Eye of Thunder could activate on its own and completely block a full-force strike from a super mecha.
What a terrifying thing this was!
Remote-controlling a mecha externally was extremely consuming of spiritual power, and usually only a few people at the peak of SS rank could do it. The former Yin Bozhou could naturally do it too. But his limit was to remotely control the mecha to walk a few dozen meters with difficulty.
Beyond a few dozen meters, the tentacles of spiritual power would disappear, and the mecha would fall into a slumber.
But now, Yin Bozhou had already entered the hospital, completely ignoring this ambush, and the hospital was fully several hundred meters away from the battlefield.
Yet the Eye of Thunder was still fighting! It punched fiercely, swept its legs, and plowed with artillery fire, actually taking only tens of minutes to blast the three super mechas into a pile of debris.
From hundreds of meters away, Yin Bozhou’s spiritual tentacles had been precisely, powerfully, and completely controlling the Eye of Thunder, as if it were an extension of his own arm.
The former Yin Bozhou had limits no matter how strong he was, but the current him had no limits.
He was a tiny body of flesh and blood, yet he seemed like a god descending.
996 hid behind a big tree, dumbfounded as it watched the Eye of Thunder descend from the sky, tear apart the protective cabins of the three mechas, pull out the three pilots, and put them into the sealed cabin inside its belly.
No one believed this was an unmanned mecha.
When it first saw Yin Bozhou, that man was piloting the Eye of Thunder fighting Ren Zehuai, and even then he wasn’t as tyrannically invincible as he was now.
It was probably impossible for the royal family to kill such a Yin Bozhou ever again!
996 gulped. It finally understood what Qin Qing had exchanged himself for.
It was Yin Bozhou’s health and longevity, Yin Bozhou’s strength and permanence.
“Big idiot! What did you get by sacrificing yourself! So stupid!” 996 cried while cursing.
This battle video was filmed by passersby and uploaded to the internet. The video clearly showed that Yin Bozhou never boarded the Eye of Thunder. This crushing battle truly took place between the remote-controlled Eye of Thunder and three super mechas.
Remote-controlled mecha, what kind of concept was that? The best record for a remote-controlled mecha was walking slowly for a few dozen meters with creaking legs. Yet Yin Bozhou could make the Eye of Thunder break away from himself and fight a group of enemies wildly.
“Commander Yin’s Combat Power is God-like!” — This sensational headline appeared on the front pages of major media outlets.
The second-ranked hot topic was that Commander Yin could suppress spiritual riots on his own without the need for pheromone soothing.
Such successive breakthroughs made the public realize that Yin Bozhou and his legion were the most solid existence in the empire, while the royal family was just a fragile walnut in front of him.
Public opinion demanding the deposition of the Crown Prince and even the removal of the royal family spread madly throughout the empire. The people were awakening; this was an unstoppable force.
When 996 sniffed and stopped on various floors, finally finding which ward Qin Qing was in, the news of Konstanz committing suicide to escape punishment had already hit the headlines.
“Just died? This was one of the five gongs!” 996 was stunned.
The plot of the original script had been turned upside down by the butterfly wings of Qin Qing.
But 996 didn’t know that an even more subversive plot was yet to come.
The next morning, Song Yuanyang walked into a cheap hotel in the lower city under the guidance of his subordinate.
They had agreed to sign a prenuptial agreement, but when Song Yuanyang arrived at the address given by Qin Gantang, he didn’t see anyone. He searched for a whole night.
He was naturally not worried about Qin Gantang’s safety, but wanted to ask him the reason for Yin Bozhou’s successive breakthroughs of human limits.
He guessed this matter had more or less something to do with Qin Gantang. After all, Qin Gantang had run to the military headquarters to find Yin Bozhou yesterday, and not long after he left, Yin Bozhou recovered.
The hotel emitted a foul smell of mold, and the corners of the corridors were stuck with black grime. Outside the window was a gray sky covered in haze, with towering giant chimneys emitting thick black smoke.
Sunshine, rain, fragrance, laughter were completely extinct here. The evil and bloodshed hidden in dark corners were the common things.
This was the place where Qin Gantang had lived for fifteen years, and it suited him well.
Song Yuanyang frowned in disgust, then kicked open the door of Room 209. Before coming, he already knew what “good deed” Qin Gantang had done, after all, the lower city didn’t have houses that completely blocked sound and smell.
The alpha on the bed immediately got up and drew his gun, aiming at Song Yuanyang.
Song Yuanyang waved his hand and reassured, “Don’t worry, no one dares to provoke the Central Legion now.”
Ren Zehuai was stunned, not understanding what had happened. He expected that this chief diplomat would definitely not let the matter drop; a severe beating was inevitable, followed by being dragged to court.
“What about the Central Legion?” Ren Zehuai asked while spitting out a piece of bloody flesh.
That was the flesh from the back of Qin Gantang’s neck, which he had bitten off, chewed, and left in his mouth.
Qin Gantang was already awake but couldn’t move. At this moment, he was looking at Ren Zehuai with eyes full of resentment and regret, and then looked at Song Yuanyang for help.
“I, I want to call the police, I was raped! Yuanyang, you have to believe me!” he shouted with a hoarse voice.
His whole body was covered in purple and red swollen wounds, looking as miserable as if he had been gnawed on by a pack of brutal hyenas. He couldn’t even crawl up, only barely propping up his upper body.
Song Yuanyang walked over, looked down at this dirty thing, and pressed, “Why was Yin Bozhou able to break through?”
“What did you say?” Qin Gantang was stunned. His confused expression didn’t seem fake at all. Someone like Song Yuanyang, who was skilled in foreign affairs, could tell if he was lying with just a glance.
He really knew nothing. Then he had lost his last shred of utility value.
“Is the video recorded? Let’s go if it is.” Song Yuanyang looked at several subordinates.
One of the subordinates was filming Qin Gantang’s miserable state and even took a close-up of his bitten-up gland. With this evidence, if Qin Gantang wanted to cling to Song Yuanyang in the future, Song Yuanyang could go to court.
Qin Gantang panicked and hurriedly grabbed the corner of Song Yuanyang’s clothes, crying, “Don’t go, help me, I was really raped! This beast forced me! I want to sue him!”
He pointed at Ren Zehuai, his eyes bursting with light of hatred to the bone.
Ren Zehuai pushed his cheek with the tip of his tongue, revealing a cruel smile, and then slapped Qin Gantang’s face askew with a fierce slap.
Blood splattered from Qin Gantang’s nose, stars danced before his eyes, and he collapsed on the bed.
Song Yuanyang put on white gloves, gently pried open Qin Gantang’s hand holding the corner of his clothes, then took off the white gloves and threw them into the trash can.
He despised this person for being dirty.
“You want to sue me? I want to sue you! Since dating Qin Qing, I knew you were a top-level Omega. To avoid accidents, I wore a pheromone detector all the time. Once the pheromone concentration in the air exceeds the standard, the detector will send me an alarm so I can stay away from you immediately. As a result, despite all my precautions, I still fell for your trap. You already have five alphas, why did you have to seduce me? Are you cheap or what?”
Ren Zehuai said while opening his brain computer, projecting a light screen. What flashed on the screen was the scene from last night.
“He called me, saying he met hooligans in the lower city and was taken to this hotel, asking me to save him. I rushed into the hotel, and the pheromones in the room were already seriously exceeding the standard. My detector can be submitted to the court to prove my innocence. This video is also conclusive evidence. I have really never met such a despicable Omega! The person I like is Qin Qing, not this kind of slut.”
Ren Zehuai was so angry his eyes were red, the gun in his hand aimed at Qin Gantang, as if he would pull the trigger at any moment.
The video was still playing, and Ren Zehuai’s detector was indeed beeping non-stop. Ren Zehuai pushed Qin Gantang away trying to flee, but Qin Gantang pounced on him again and again.
Ren Zehuai slapped him fiercely, saying the person he liked was Qin Qing, not a worthless piece of trash like Qin Gantang. Qin Gantang then started taking off his clothes…
The alarm sound of the detector became louder and louder, indicating that the pheromones released by Qin Gantang were getting stronger. He was doing it on purpose.
Ren Zehuai was mad with anger, yet unable to break free from the control of pheromones, so he could only constantly beat Qin Gantang, insult Qin Gantang, and smash things around him.
But Qin Gantang was just cheap; the more Ren Zehuai cursed him, the more he pounced, as if crazy. Finally, Ren Zehuai strangled his neck tightly, saying with hatred to the bone: “Slut, you asked for this!”
He bit through the back of Qin Gantang’s neck, viciously sucking the fragrance and blood.
Only then did Qin Gantang feel regret and start calling for help and struggling, but it was already too late.
The video ended. Ren Zehuai’s actions looked very cruel, but Song Yuanyang couldn’t sympathize with Qin Gantang.
“Wasn’t it good to marry me? Why did you have to be so cheap?” He looked down at Qin Gantang.
Qin Gantang, who never expected Ren Zehuai to be wearing a pheromone detector and a nano-camera, could only pull up the quilt with a pale face and hide inside. He suddenly realized that he had fallen into the abyss.
If he obediently married Song Yuanyang, he could still maintain his past luxurious life. His status in the Qin family wouldn’t change, because Song Yuanyang could support Qin Tao and let Qin Tao return to his official career.
For the sake of a prosperous official career, Qin Tao would still have to flatter him and his mother like before.
But now everything was ruined by his own impulse.
How did he get to this point? He always knew what to do to get the maximum benefit, so why did he go crazy to seduce Ren Zehuai? With such strong pheromones, he was seeking his own death!
What on earth was he thinking?
Qin Gantang hugged his head and let out a cry of extreme pain and regret.
“What right do you have to cry? I am the victim! Go ahead and sue me, I will make this evidence public so that everyone in the galaxy can see your ugly state! What ’noblest Omega’, damn disgusting!” Ren Zehuai put on his clothes and said with extreme disgust.
Song Yuanyang shook his head and left this filthy place with his subordinates. Without Qin Gantang’s pheromones, he thought he would feel pity, but in fact, he felt a sense of relief.
“Finding someone you like seems not bad.” Walking outside the hotel, Song Yuanyang looked up at the gray sky and suddenly let out an emotional sigh.
Ren Zehuai holstered his gun, buttoned up, and said coldly, “You know the person I like is Qin Qing, right? Are you fucking sick?”
He put on his coat and walked towards the door without any lingering attachment.
Hearing Qin Qing’s name, Qin Gantang finally remembered that he had fallen into this quagmire all for the sake of taking revenge on Qin Qing. He had lost everything; he absolutely couldn’t let Qin Qing laugh at him!
“Don’t go! After last night, I believe you also smelled it, our compatibility is over 80%! If you want to be promoted to SSS level, marrying me is the fastest shortcut!”
Ren Zehuai sneered and held the doorknob.
Qin Gantang said quickly: “Is the Deputy Commander of the Central Legion important, or is Qin Qing important?”
Ren Zehuai opened the door and stepped out.
“Yin Bozhou is seriously injured. I can help you advance as soon as possible. You might be able to replace him as the Commander of the Central Legion. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Do you want to miss it?”
Ren Zehuai, who was indifferent, suddenly stopped and turned to look. His eyes were dark and deep, surging with many indistinguishable things, and flickering with a strange and cold light.
Qin Gantang forced himself to look into those wolf-like eyes. He grabbed the corner of the quilt, trembling with nervousness.
In the long and suffocating wait, Ren Zehuai slowly walked back, his cold tone softening a little: “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Qin Gantang let go of the quilt corner and let out a breath as if granted amnesty. When he was held in Ren Zehuai’s arms, he finally let out a hoarse cry.
He was really so humiliated, so regretful! Last night Ren Zehuai kept strangling his neck without letting go for a moment. He knew that this man who was about to marry him already hated him to the core.
Song Yuanyang, Yan Yufei, Kane, they would also hate him to the core.
Yin Bozhou needless to say! Yin Bozhou had never liked Qin Gantang from beginning to end!
“Why am I such a failure?” Qin Gantang cried and asked Ren Zehuai.
Ren Zehuai smiled as if finding it interesting, and whispered softly: “Because without pheromones, you are just trash. Do you know what my mood is right now?”
Qin Gantang knew he would definitely say something extremely painful, so he hurriedly covered his ears in fear.
Ren Zehuai leaned against the hands covering his ears and said with a sneer: “Being forced to hold a piece of junk in my hand, that’s my mood. I’m fucking aggrieved and angry. You’d better be honest after marriage, otherwise I won’t show you any mercy!”
Qin Gantang immediately shook like a sieve. He suddenly realized with extreme panic that he seemed to have fallen from the hell just now into an even deeper hell.
