Chapter 32 – His Omega is Super Angry~
“This place really hasn’t changed,” Gu Zhuoran said faintly.
“That’s for sure. This place has always been like this. What… feeling nostalgic?” Niu Xing’an said jokingly.
“A little,” Gu Zhuoran said with some emotion.
“Forget it. This place… devours people without leaving bones. If you can leave, don’t come back,” Niu Xing’an said earnestly.
Gu Zhuoran looked up at Niu Xing’an and nodded lightly. “I know.”
“You know, you know, you know everything, yet you still insist on coming down? Why?” Niu Xing’an asked irritably.
But Gu Zhuoran remained silent on this question.
Niu Xing’an was truly both irritated and helpless.
This kid’s mouth was tough, his bones were tough, and his temper was even tougher!
Years ago, during his first match, he didn’t have the qualification or the age, so he fought a “reversal match.” Despite a huge disparity in strength, he stubbornly endured over five hundred attacks, outlasting his opponent alive. If he didn’t want to speak, you really couldn’t get it out of him.
Niu Xing’an looked around the arena with complex emotions and soon found where Wu Youbin was.
“On the second level,” Niu Xing’an said.
Gu Zhuoran pulled his hat low and narrowed his icy-blue eyes to look at the second-level arena from afar.
The second-level arena was named the Virtual Arena; it was a place where combat was conducted using virtual equipment.
This method looked like it didn’t harm people, but in reality, what it heavily damaged was the opponent’s spirit.
At this moment, Wu Youbin brandished a greatsword and struck toward his opponent’s head with a single blow.
The other party was completely paralyzed with fear. The feeling of a longsword piercing the brain was instantly transmitted to the depths of the brain via the virtual device. The massive pain destroyed the person’s spirit in an instant. The figure on the virtual arena was still there, but the master operating it was already ruined.
“The boss doesn’t care even when he’s this ruthless?” Gu Zhuoran asked, puzzled.
Niu Xing’an shook his head lightly and lowered his voice, “The boss headhunted him. This is the sixth one to die at his hands this month.”
Gu Zhuoran was slightly taken aback, his icy-blue eyes filling with bursts of frost.
Although in the underground rings, life and death were usually left to fate and wealth was left to heaven.
But opposing parties would usually leave some room for survival.
After all, they were all bottom-tier people risking their lives here for money; there was no need for deep-seated hatred.
Gu Zhuoran spent the entire day watching Wu Youbin’s various battles with a grave expression. By the time he left, it was already nightfall.
The stars had appeared in the sky, and the streets of the Lower City were sparsely populated; school hours had long since ended.
“Oh no!” Gu Zhuoran instinctively gave a light shout and picked up his pace to run toward Shen Yan’s house.
But no matter how he ran, being late was being late.
When he ran back to Shen Yan’s door panting heavily, what he saw was a Shen Yan whose face was as still as water.
It was unknown how long Shen Yan had been waiting for him. Countless footprints were stepped back and forth on the ground by the door, overlapping each other in a complex mess, declaring the master’s agitated mood.
While waiting, Shen Yan was terrified that something had happened to Gu Zhuoran, so his heart was as anxious as if it were being clawed at by a hundred claws.
But when Gu Zhuoran appeared safely before him, a fire instantly ignited in the depths of Shen Yan’s heart.
“You actually still know to come back? Didn’t you say you’d stay by my side and guard me at every step? Where were you? Where the hell did you go today? Look at what time it is. You’re quite something, aren’t you!” Shen Yan couldn’t hold back and gave him a verbal lashing.
He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but Shen Yan felt that since he presented, his emotions had been all wrong.
“Sorry… it’s my fault…” Gu Zhuoran looked at Shen Yan with extreme apology.
But he didn’t have a chance to finish his sentence because Shen Yan shut the door with a “bang.”
“…” Locked outside the door, Gu Zhuoran instantly felt a boundless pressure.
Shen Yan… was super angry!

One day, Gu Zhuoran went to the hospital in secret to see a specialized Omega doctor.
Little Gong Gu: “Doctor, my Omega has been acting a bit wrong lately.”
Doctor: “Tell me what’s wrong.”
Little Gong Gu: “He’s always losing his temper, his emotions are unstable, and he gets irritable over the slightest thing. I’m afraid he’ll hurt himself.”
Doctor: “Oh, hurting himself is unlikely. Hurting you is possible.”
Little Gong Gu: “Ah?”
Doctor: “Did your Omega just present?”
Little Gong Gu: “Yes.”
Doctor: “Newly presented Omegas enter a phase of ‘Anxiety Disorder.’ They will subconsciously have a contradictory mood toward their Alpha—wishing to be distant yet also wishing to be close. It’s the same logic as some people entering ‘Marriage Phobia’ when dating.”
Little Gong Gu: “Ah, Omegas have this kind of symptom too?”
Doctor: “Yes. This is common knowledge. Don’t you and your Omega know? It can be fatal in severe cases.”
Little Gong Gu gave a shudder from fear: “Then… then what should we do?” (He and Shen Yan really… didn’t know much about Omega matters.)
A certain Miao: “Sigh, you’ll find out when the time comes!”

- Life and death are left to fate, wealth is left to heaven: A Chinese idiom (shengsi youming, fu gui zai tian) about fatalism and destiny.
- Marriage Phobia (恐婚症): Fear of commitment/marriage. Shen Yan isn’t just angry; he’s going through some hormonal “presentation anxiety”! And Gu Zhuoran is just standing there taking the scolding like a champ. Let’s see how long he stays locked out!
