Chapter 7 [The Little Beast’s Hunting Desire]
Wednesday.
The weather was clear and cloudless. The scorching midsummer sun beat down, its rays piercing through the sycamore trees surrounding the training ground, scattering dappled spots of light onto the ground. A gentle breeze blew, carrying the morning’s freshness and relaxing the minds of the people standing on the field.
Today was the training day for the newly recruited bodyguards. They wore uniform white T-shirts, black sweatpants, and white sneakers, lined up in groups according to their three respective genders: Alpha, Beta, and Omega.
You Yuanyuan stood directly in front of the large formation. He wore the same sweatpants and sneakers, but not the same T-shirt. Instead, he wore a white shirt with a stand-up collar, which covered a bit of his fair, slender neck. Although it looked slightly strange, no one dared to question how You Ye dressed. Moreover, with his tall, slender figure and well-proportioned frame, he was the perfect clothes hanger, looking good in whatever he wore.
“Alpha Squad: 107 expected, 107 present. Male Alphas: 70, Female Alphas: 37!”
“Beta Squad: 98 expected, 98 present. Male Betas: 51, Female Betas: 47!”
“Omega Squad: 21 expected, 19 present. Male Omegas: 10, Female Omegas: 9.”
All three squads had finished their roll call reports.
That’s right, You Yuanyuan had recruited several more Omegas. Furthermore, he saw that Ji Ru had indeed arrived on time and hadn’t broken his promise. Goodness knows how Ji Ru managed to deceive Ji Jiayou to get here.
Ji Ru’s eyes shone brightly with a resolute gaze, shining especially bright when looking at You Yuanyuan.
You Yuanyuan stood up straight with his hands clasped behind his back, maintaining his tall and slender posture. The sunlight shone on his expressionless face, as if no amount of warm light could melt this iceberg. Even though he really wanted to smile at these newly recruited youngsters, Zhou She kept reminding him from the side to maintain his persona.
But it was fine. On such a hot day, seeing his frosty face might make them feel a bit cooler.
“The entry training will last for five months. It will be divided into physical training, etiquette training, combat training, and psychological conditioning. However, passing these training sessions does not mean you are qualified to be a bodyguard. In the later stages, there will be outdoor practical training—survival of the fittest, with an extremely low retention rate. Therefore, everyone must work hard,” You Yuanyuan said, his voice softer and not quite as icy as his face.
“Understood!” everyone answered in unison.
The Alpha and Beta squads both uncoordinatedly cast glances at the Omega squad standing at the far edge, their eyes full of contempt and disdain. For these short, slender, and fair-skinned Omegas to dare compete with them, they were truly overestimating their own capabilities.
Suddenly, an Alpha asked, “You Ye, will you be training us personally this year?”
As soon as this question was asked, everyone stared unblinkingly at You Yuanyuan, eagerly expecting him to answer “yes.”
You Yuanyuan: “I will occasionally come to provide guidance. The training will primarily be conducted by Instructor Li.”
“Understood.” Although everyone said this, they still felt a bit disappointed.
Following that, the morning physical training began. The newcomers followed Instructor Li and started jogging around the track to warm up.
On the other side of the training ground, there was another squad of newly recruited bodyguards. The person standing at the forefront was Xing Lie. Clearly, these two hundred-plus Alphas and Betas had chosen to side with Xing Lie.
You Yuanyuan knew that the bodyguards personally trained by Xing Lie were all incredibly fierce and valiant.
His gaze landed on Xing Lie from afar. Today, Xing Lie was sporting yet another style—a white cotton tank top, black cargo pants, and black combat boots. His exposed shoulders were broad, the muscle lines of his arms smooth and firm. The fabric covered his bulging chest, exuding a sense of power ready to explode at any moment.
Those long, straight legs, even when wrapped in black cargo pants, faintly radiated a formidable offensive power.
A height of 1.9 meters, coupled with broad shoulders, a strong waist, and long legs—it truly was a beautifully perfect physique, You Yuanyuan thought.
Suddenly, as if Xing Lie sensed the line of sight, he tilted his head slightly, his gaze accurately capturing the person staring at him. With his head slightly cocked, he stared deeply at You Yuanyuan.
You Yuanyuan frowned and looked away. He felt that Xing Lie’s gaze was like a wild beast spotting its prey, possessing a restrained hunting desire, as if one moment of carelessness would result in becoming a meal on a plate. He couldn’t see into the depths of Xing Lie’s eyes; they were too deep, too dark. He was scared off by the hidden danger within.
His body suddenly felt a restless stirring. By the time You Yuanyuan reacted, he was shocked to realize this was an Omega’s innate instinct to submit to a top-tier Alpha.
You Yuanyuan subconsciously tried to drive away this instinct. He absolutely did not want to submit to that little beast, Xing Lie.
He was going to be the most powerful Omega; he couldn’t submit to any Alpha. Not even a top-tier Alpha.
Just as he was thinking this, a bottle of ice water was handed to him. Following the slender, fair wrist holding the water, You Yuanyuan saw that it was Duan Xiaoding.
He had almost forgotten he hired a little assistant.
Duan Xiaoding’s cheeks flushed shyly, his voice as soft as cotton candy: “You Ye, have some ice water to cool down in this heat.”
You Yuanyuan’s expression involuntarily softened a bit. He took the ice water, opened it, and took a drink, instantly feeling a refreshing coolness wash over his body. He felt he was a bit silly before he lost his memory. Why would he raise an untamable, wild top-tier Alpha like Xing Lie? Wouldn’t it be better to keep a pretty and obedient little Omega like this one, who wouldn’t make him angry and wouldn’t make him worry about having his power usurped?
If he were still an Alpha, he probably would have liked the little Omega in front of him. Unfortunately, he and the little Omega were now of the same kind, so he couldn’t generate any romantic feelings.
Seeing You Yuanyuan drink the water he offered, Duan Xiaoding’s heart pounded like a drum. The little deer in his heart was running wild, almost jumping right out of his throat.
He lowered his eyes and said softly, “You Ye, are you tired right now? Let me release some pheromones to relieve your fatigue.”
You Yuanyuan remembered that his primary task was to release pheromones to cover for him. He said, “Alright, thank you for your trouble.”
“It’s no trouble, it makes me very happy,” Duan Xiaoding excitedly released his soothing Omega pheromones.
After a while, You Yuanyuan asked, “Are you done releasing?”
“Uh…” Duan Xiaoding was a little stunned, “I am done releasing.” He had released a very thick concentration, and the surrounding area was filled with the sweet scent of his cotton candy. Why didn’t You Yuanyuan have the slightest reaction of arousal?
Or could it be that his pheromones had too little presence to You Ye?
Instantly, Duan Xiaoding felt his pheromones lacked any charm and were unable to attract a top-tier Alpha like You Ye. He looked incredibly disappointed.
You Yuanyuan felt nothing from Duan Xiaoding’s pheromones and maintained a relaxed and natural expression.
Zhou She had a pheromone-detecting watch that displayed the concentration, quality, and attributes of the surrounding pheromones.
He leaned close to You Yuanyuan’s ear and lowered his voice, “Omegas are not affected by Omega pheromones because like repels like. The pheromones he released are very thick and should linger on your body for about half an hour. Get a little closer to him.”
You Yuanyuan’s eyelashes fluttered slowly as he took two steps closer to Duan Xiaoding. The distance between their shoulders was less than a fist’s width.
At this time, the running newcomers returned to the track field. The Omegas ran one lap, the Betas ran four laps, and the Alphas ran seven laps. This was already the maximum level everyone could currently handle.
Because of the running, the mixed pheromones in the crowd had grown somewhat thicker. However, when You Yuanyuan smelled the pheromones of those Alphas, his body didn’t feel any restlessness. It was probably because their grades were somewhat low, and their compatibility with him was below 20%.
Beside him, however, Duan Xiaoding’s face had turned red, his ears burning. Biting his lip, he seemed to be holding back.
“You Ye, is this your assistant?” Ji Ru asked, sweating as he walked over. He looked at the pretty Omega with an expressionless face.
Everyone else was also casting glances back and forth between You Yuanyuan and Duan Xiaoding, their eyes revealing a gossipy glint. Someone whispered, “I heard You Ye likes conquering top-tier Alphas. I’ve never heard of him being interested in Omegas.”
“Maybe he had a change of heart and suddenly likes Omegas.”
“Could this pretty little Omega be You Ye’s little lover?”
“You Ye’s jump in taste is way too huge.”
With a straight face, Ji Ru scolded the whispering people, “Are you here to train or to gossip?!”
“Ooh, this little Omega is quite fierce.”
“His brother is Ji Jiayou, he has backing, don’t mess with him.”
The thing Ji Ru hated hearing the most was that he had some sort of backing, or that he was Ji Jiayou’s younger brother. He charged directly up to the Beta and said fiercely, “I didn’t get in by relying on him! I relied on myself! Just you wait, sooner or later, I will show you that Omegas can be very strong too!”
Being shouted down by an Omega, the Beta’s face flushed red, and he prepared to yell back. However, You Yuanyuan’s cold voice cut in, “Internal conflicts are strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this rule can pack up and roll home themselves.”
Immediately, the scene fell dead silent.
It had taken a lot of effort to get in; they couldn’t afford to be kicked out just because of a verbal altercation.
This minor incident quickly blew over, and Instructor Li continued leading the newcomers into the next activity—push-ups.
You Yuanyuan simply supervised from the side.
In the distance, Xing Lie’s squad started running. His assistant, Chen Fei, stood beside him. Both sets of eyes were fixed on You Yuanyuan and the little Omega beside him, pondering and mulling over something.
Xing Lie said, “Don’t you feel that You Yuanyuan’s body has changed slightly?”
Chen Fei froze for a moment. He looked at You Yuanyuan again, scanning him up and down. He felt there wasn’t much change; maybe he was just a bit thinner. So he shook his head.
Frowning, Xing Lie elaborated, “His shoulders are narrower, his waist is slimmer, his feet are smaller, he’s shorter, and his rear is plumper.”
Chen Fei: “…”
Who observes these things so meticulously?
He had never closely observed You Yuanyuan’s figure before, and besides, ordinary people wouldn’t dare stare at You Ye constantly. Thus, Chen Fei had no basis for comparison in his mind and couldn’t see the details Xing Lie mentioned at all. At most, he was a little thinner.
His focus was entirely different from Xing Lie’s. His gaze had remained on Duan Xiaoding as he asked in confusion, “Is that petite, pretty Omega You Ye’s little lover? Why did his tastes suddenly change? Didn’t people say he liked top-tier Alphas? It shouldn’t be to the point where he suddenly turns around and likes Omegas.”
The corners of Xing Lie’s lips curled up in an imperceptible arc—a mix of mockery and disdain.
Clicking his tongue, Chen Fei looked at Duan Xiaoding and commented, “He is genuinely young and pretty though, pure as a blank sheet of paper. Obedient and docile, he definitely wouldn’t need to be conquered; he’d obediently deliver himself to the door. After all, what Omega wouldn’t want to be marked by a top-tier Alpha?”
Being an A-grade Alpha himself, he also had a favorable impression of pretty little Omegas. He knew just how alluring a marking was to an Omega. Especially the mark of an S-grade Alpha; it was undoubtedly the dream of countless Omegas.
Xing Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, shifting his gaze from You Yuanyuan to Duan Xiaoding. With a mocking expression, he said, “Pretty? When did You Yuanyuan’s aesthetics become so poor? He’s not even as good-looking as You Yuanyuan himself, yet he actually fancies him.”
Chen Fei awkwardly rubbed his nose. He didn’t know exactly how pretty an Omega had to be for Xing Lie to consider them pretty. In Xing Lie’s eyes, no Omega had ever been considered pretty. It was likely that You Yuanyuan’s sexual orientation had influenced him, making him lose interest in Omegas.
He said, “But this is a good thing too. You Ye won’t try to force himself on you anymore. You can rest assured he won’t constantly be thinking about conquering and taming you.”
Almost immediately, he noticed the air pressure around Xing Lie drop a few degrees. He wondered if he had said something wrong.
Xing Lie’s eyes darkened, “You think this is a good thing? He no longer has a desire to conquer me, which means my value to him has decreased. No wonder he’s been avoiding me, refusing to see me, and even kicked me away these past few days.”
Chen Fei also felt this wasn’t a good sign and guessed, “Could it be that the time you had dinner with Zhao Ye, the eldest son of the Zhao Shi Group, crossed his bottom line? But you weren’t trying to rope in Zhao Ye; you were just discussing taking missions abroad. Did you tell him you were schmoozing with powerful elites to build your own faction?”
“Yes.” Xing Lie said.
Chen Fei: “.” Isn’t that intentionally angering You Yuanyuan?
Suddenly, Xing Lie ended the conversation and walked toward You Yuanyuan.
At that moment, You Yuanyuan was looking down, asking Duan Xiaoding about his sudden physical discomfort. Although his voice was cold, his tone was gentle: “Are you suffering from heatstroke?”
“If you have heatstroke, hurry up and roll home to enjoy the AC,” a voice abruptly interjected.
Caught completely off guard, You Yuanyuan inhaled the scent of Glass Wood pheromones emanating from Xing Lie. Because Xing Lie had been exercising and the weather was hot, the scent of his pheromones was even stronger than before.
Instantly, his condition turned just as burning hot as Duan Xiaoding’s.
Duan Xiaoding looked up at Xing Lie—What a tall Alpha. However, before he could see clearly, the sunlight stung his eyes. Then, he felt an overwhelmingly oppressive presence that was extremely uncomfortable. Flustered, he gave a quick word to You Yuanyuan and ran off.
Smelling the cloying sweet pheromones of that little Omega lingering around You Yuanyuan, a very sweet cotton candy scent, Xing Lie felt an unbearable irritation in his heart, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes. Instead, he pulled out a black sports sweatband from his pocket: “You Ye, put this on, your sweat is about to drip into your eyes.”
That black sweatband reeked of highly concentrated Glass Wood pheromones, instantly stimulating You Yuanyuan’s scent gland. Still in his unstable period, he uncontrollably felt the urge to release his own Snow Mountain Cold Cotton pheromones. His entire body felt burning hot. Unable to utter a single word, he clenched his fists, turned around stiffly, and walked away.
Xing Lie’s outstretched hand froze mid-air.
