MORIC - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Terrible Taste

"You're saying you gave me an suppressant shot?"

Chi Yueshan sat on the bed, grabbing Xi Zhoumeng's hand and staring intently at her face.

It was as if she would bite down if Xi Zhoumeng said another word.

Xi Zhoumeng's fair white wrist seemed to be made from the jade mines of Planet Erimusha. After being painted with nail polish, it looked even more untouchable.

Yet, this very goddess had been bitten by Chi Yueshan, with bite marks even on her knuckles, as if pure white had been stained with red, no longer so sacred.

"Yes."

Xi Zhoumeng's other hand picked up the hot milk that was supposed to be for Chi Yueshan, showing no intention of letting the other girl eat a proper meal.

Chi Yueshan took a deep breath, leaned forward abruptly, and grabbed Xi Zhoumeng's collar. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Xi Zhoumeng said matter-of-factly, "You were dead asleep. What was I supposed to call you for?"

With her collar grabbed like that, some of the milk spilled, a few drops landing on the bedsheet. Xi Zhoumeng frowned.

Chi Yueshan: "Of course you should have told me! I'm the one who got the shot!"

Her voice was hoarse, completely lacking any intimidating power, sounding more like a kitten whose fur hadn't fully grown in.

But Xi Zhoumeng knew she was fully ripe. She tilted her head, her hand covering Chi Yueshan's hand that was gripping her collar. "What, are you afraid of shots?"

"Who's afraid of shots!"

Chi Yueshan answered loudly, but her voice was hoarse, and she coughed a few times.

The rim of the cup was pressed against her lips. Xi Zhoumeng revealed an ambiguous smile. "You're really a handful. Have something to tide you over."

She had been kneeling on the carpet by the bed. As she rose gracefully, she tossed out a sentence: "If I didn't give you the shot, was I supposed to keep helping you?"

"Cough, cough…"

Chi Yueshan almost choked on the milk. She yelled, "What do you mean, 'help me'? Wasn't it mutual help! So why would the suppressant… Ah!!!!"

She screamed in terror again. Xi Zhoumeng, who had taken off half of her dress, turned around with a frown. "So noisy!"

Chi Yueshan looked like an innocent girl being robbed, holding the cup in one hand and clutching the blanket with the other. "Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Xi Zhoumeng's displeasure was particularly obvious; she seemed to hate noise and fuss.

"This is my room."

Just as Chi Yueshan was about to speak, Xi Zhoumeng added, "Haven't we already seen each other in all our honesty?"

Her voice was exceptionally calm, as if she wasn't the one who had just brushed her lips against Chi Yueshan's earlobe. The dress slid down and was kicked away mercilessly by a pair of legs. Xi Zhoumeng added faintly, "If you weren't still here, I would have called a maid upstairs."

Right, the young lady who needs help changing her clothes.

Chi Yueshan stared at her bare back, her mind forced to recall fragments by that phrase "seen each other in all our honesty," along with the reason her own throat was hoarse.

Is this what an S-rank spiritual power Omega is like?

Aren't OOs supposed to do… this and that? It seems like I didn't even have time to help her?

So, did she get off or not?

Chi Yueshan sipped the milk, holding the cup. Xi Zhoumeng, having changed into an underdress, replied to the other girl's inadvertently spoken thoughts: "I got off."

This kind of word was a bit crude. Chi Yueshan's stereotype of Xi Zhoumeng was that she wouldn't use such vulgar language. But considering their previous interactions and last night, she could see that this young lady had two faces.

On the surface, she was a noble and unattainable dream Omega, but on the inside, she was a picky, harsh bastard who enjoyed playing cruel jokes.

"Huh?"

Chi Yueshan almost choked on Xi Zhoumeng's words again. When she looked over, she found that even the sight of the other girl's back as she changed was pleasing to the eye.

There were even mirrors imitating sunlight on the ceiling. Perhaps because the walk-in closet was so large, the open mirrors over there were enough for Xi Zhoumeng to admire her own invincible beauty. She even did a twirl before going to get a corset.

The scratch marks on her back were already covered by the underdress, but just a casual glance was enough to make Chi Yueshan feel guilty.

Even though it was Xi Zhoumeng's heat, it seems like mine was more severe.

Waking up, she didn't have that sticky, unpleasant feeling like before. Chi Yueshan's conscience came online, their rivalrous relationship momentarily taking a backseat, and she asked with utmost sincerity, "Then your heat…"

Xi Zhoumeng: "I'm fine."

The hot flush that had been eased by the suppressant shot also caused Chi Yueshan's pheromones to recede significantly.

It was as if as long as Chi Yueshan wasn't in heat, Xi Zhoumeng was perfectly normal.

Chi Yueshan licked the milk from her lips and said, "Oh." She lowered her head, still a little embarrassed. "Th-then next time, I'll help…"

It was as if her tongue was tied; offering this kind of help was a bit difficult.

Xi Zhoumeng mercilessly scolded her, "Are you an idiot?"

Chi Yueshan let out a cry, and two seconds later, she exploded, "You're scolding me again!"

Xi Zhoumeng had many types of corsets, as could be seen from the mobile clothing rack. Since she was dressing by herself, she chose a relatively light one.

Yet it still looked painful to Chi Yueshan. If you wore that thing, wouldn't you be full after just one bite of food?

But Xi Zhoumeng was used to it. Her movements were slow and methodical. If played in reverse, it might even have a different kind of meaning.

"Am I wrong?"

Xi Zhoumeng put on a skirt, her long, slender fingers deftly fastening the buttons. "If Xuan Ping went into heat, would you help her?"

Why is there a bustle too? What is all this stuff?

Chi Yueshan was dumbfounded. The last time she left Xi Zhoumeng's dorm, the other girl hadn't woken up yet, so she had no idea that her morning routine was such a huge undertaking.

Isn't it tiring to live like this?

Is this what nobles are like?

It seems so difficult.

Ah, why am I, a penniless person, sympathizing with a young lady who buys luxury goods like water?

Chi Yueshan shook her head while sighing inwardly.

As if she had eyes on the top of her head, Xi Zhoumeng sneered, "So you're only this nice to me?"

This sentence gave Chi Yueshan goosebumps all over. She exclaimed, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm just doing it because you helped me! I just thought that maybe my heat triggered yours… Aiya, I don't know why either. Xi Zhoumeng, you're so annoying! I hate you!"

She looked up at Xi Zhoumeng, still a bit bewildered. "Why didn't the pheromone patch work? I even drank your vanilla-flavored suppressant potion, but still…"

Xi Zhoumeng finally put on her suit-dress. Her style always jumped between pure black and pure white, as if her life only had two colors, with any transition not even worth mentioning.

"Because my relationship with you is different from others."

【System: Are you going to tell her your true identity?!】

The system, though dormant, still knew what had happened and was very excited.

Chi Yueshan tried to get up but couldn't find her clothes. Looking around, she said casually, "What's so different? Aren't we both Omegas… It's just our spiritual power that's different. Xi Zhoumeng, let me tell you, spiritual power can also be improved through hard work. Sooner or later, I'll…"

She was quite talkative.

But Xi Zhoumeng was suddenly reminded of the Bengalese finch she used to keep, which loved to nestle in her sleeve.

It's just that birds don't live long, nor do they understand human joys and sorrows.

Chi Yueshan wasn't her pet, yet she was incredibly important.

"Our compatibility rate is one hundred percent."

Xi Zhoumeng sat down in front of the mirror to change into a new necklace and earrings. Chi Yueshan threw off the covers, got out of bed to look for her clothes, and said nonchalantly, "Isn't that fake?"

She walked over to Xi Zhoumeng's side. Perhaps because they had helped each other out, she now dared to be handsy with her. "Hey, where are my clothes?"

Chi Yueshan didn't dare to look at the sofa; it was just too embarrassing. The moment she saw it, she would remember sitting on Xi Zhoumeng's lap and being touched by her.

It was just too much.

Xi Zhoumeng: "Threw them away."

Chi Yueshan let out a cry. "Why?"

Xi Zhoumeng finished changing her earrings with her head tilted, then opened her jewelry box to pick a ring. Her fingers still had bite marks, wounds bitten by this saint, and they looked very fresh.

Chi Yueshan guiltily averted her eyes.

Xi Zhoumeng tried on a few with her head down, saying, "They were torn. Pick whatever you want from my wardrobe. The shirts are at the very back."

She didn't even raise her head. Chi Yueshan watched her expression in the mirror.

Who knows what time Xi Zhoumeng had woken up; her makeup was flawless. Her long eyebrows and downcast eyes were still very vivid, and the red mole on her cheek seemed even redder.

Chi Yueshan remembered licking it. She must have really lost her mind, her tongue wanting to melt that mole away. Xi Zhoumeng seemed to have gotten angry and even hit her.

Damn it, she actually spanked my butt. Pervert.

Chi Yueshan was silent for a long while. Xi Zhoumeng hummed, her tone rising in a question.

Seeing that she was about to look up, Chi Yueshan hastily averted her gaze and said, "Oh."

She walked around behind Xi Zhoumeng and added, "The one with the water ripple pattern is pretty."

She was talking about a silver ring in Xi Zhoumeng's box that looked like a ripple, its ends not meeting, and inlaid with tiny sapphires.

Xi Zhoumeng picked it up, put it on with some dissatisfaction, but didn't take it off. She just said, "Terrible taste."

Chi Yueshan, who had just opened the wardrobe, reacted as if her tail had been stepped on, turning to retort, "My taste is great!"

"The Senior Wen I like is the most handsome wom… Damn it!"

"The Wen Xinghuo you like is the most formidable female A… Hmm?"

They spoke at the same time, just with different adjectives.

It was as if they had a natural, perfect rapport, which only made Chi Yueshan more embarrassed.

Xi Zhoumeng shook her head, her long hair falling over her shoulders. From Chi Yueshan's angle, her profile was still perfect, her eyelashes enviably long.

This is terrible. I don't think I hate her at all.

The walk-in closet was filled with Xi Zhoumeng's scent. The amount of clothes she had was exaggerated, as if a luxury brand counter had opened a branch in her room.

Many still had their tags on, and the prices on them were enough to scare Chi Yueshan to death.

My clothes really did get ruined, back when I sat on Xi Zhoumeng's lap.

Chi Yueshan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to chase away the automatic replay in her mind. But what she inhaled was also Xi Zhoumeng's scent, as if she had been completely locked on, with nowhere to run.

"Didn't you go to the forum to clarify our compatibility rate?"

Chi Yueshan didn't know why her heart was racing again. She thought of Xi Zhoumeng's teasing and help in the lounge, her hazy morning gaze in the dorm, and her face flushed from heat last night.

What could be more intriguing than seeing someone who always seemed to have victory in their grasp being controlled by desire?

Even someone as outstanding as Xi Zhoumeng could be dominated by lust like an ordinary Omega.

But why, when we're both Omegas, did I sink into her gentle caresses and even feel the impulse to continue like this with her forever?

I obviously like Senior Wen so much… ah.

Or is it like they say online, that every Omega is a potential… you know?

That can't be right. It's probably just a first-time dependency mindset.

Would I be like this with anyone else?

I can't just go find another Omega to try it out, can I?

Wait, why would I look for an Omega? It should be an Alpha, if anything.

But the best choice for an Alpha will always be my invincible, best-in-the-world Senior Wen Xinghuo.

Chi Yueshan changed her clothes mechanically, not noticing at all that she had buttoned her shirt wrong.

Xi Zhoumeng stood up to choose a perfume. She said, "Oh," and then, "I lied to you about that."

Chi Yueshan: "What?"

Xi Zhoumeng's finger tapped along a row of perfumes, and as if guided by a ghost, she chose a bottle named "Plunder."

It was extracted from animal blood, tempered with the fragrance of flowers and plants. The top note was very fresh, like the sky after rain. The base note was as if the sky had been washed with blood, with a hint of iron and dampness, reminding one of a lightless basement, of red liquid dripping down a drain.

Xi Zhoumeng twisted open the cap, the scent melting into the air. "I said, I lied to you."

"We are indeed a one hundred percent match. There was no mistake."

Chi Yueshan whipped her head around. "Why?"

Xi Zhoumeng walked over, wearing a perfume similar to her pheromones. Chi Yueshan even felt a sense of anger.

A hand reached out to unbutton her shirt. Chi Yueshan retreated in terror—

"Don't come over here! Even if a one hundred percent match means we're some kind of destined-to-be-together OOs, I won't submit to you!"

She closed her eyes, pushing Xi Zhoumeng away. "I, Chi Yueshan, would rather bash my head in and die right here than be a perfect match with you!"

Xi Zhoumeng was silent for a long while. Her hand undid Chi Yueshan's last button.

As the other girl's vision slowly widened, she said coldly, "Did I say we were a perfect match? Did I say you had to submit to me?"

She undid the wrongly fastened buttons, the bit of OCD etched into her soul finally soothed. Then she reached out and hooked the thin strap in the middle of Chi Yueshan's bra—

"You think I want to?"

Her fingers were cool, touching Chi Yueshan's chest like raindrops.

Chi Yueshan shivered instinctively.

Xi Zhoumeng: "Next time, don't open your mouth to beg me."

She turned to leave, but Chi Yueshan grabbed her hand. "What about my flower arrangement class?"

Xi Zhoumeng: "That depends on how you beg me."

The corners of her mouth lifted, her eyes filled with mischief. "If you beg like you did last night, I might consider it."
