Chapter 4 1/2

[In the late stages of pregnancy, you can apply to change the questioning system to a scoring system.]

With just over half a year until graduation, time is running out for him to consider his options. Delaying further poses challenges, as finding an Alpha is difficult and there’s limited time for pregnancy.

Today is the best opportunity to pursue this path. However, the dean will give a zero score right away.

Jiang Li hesitated briefly. Due to his sharp mind, he quickly concluded that, considering the weight of the old demon king, the average score of the remaining mentors only needs to be above 9.54 to achieve excellence.

Timing, circumstances, and people… No, Omega pregnancy rates are exceptionally low, and news of one-night stands resulting in pregnancy is almost non-existent. Even if he engages in such activities, it would be a futile endeavour.

Not entirely futile, as it would have meaning for Alphas, at least.

After the uncontrollable pheromone storm, it attacks the nerves. It’s well known that nerve cells cannot regenerate.

Jiang Li frowned. With the suppressant for the nearby Alpha almost expiring, he could see Cen Lang’s surface rationality slipping away, yet he continued to resist based on principles and bottom lines.

So, when he had the opportunity to directly mark Jiang Li’s gland, Cen Lang didn’t go all out due to Jiang Li’s resistance.

Uncontrolled Alpha pheromones come with great destructive tendencies, destroying everything possible. Dungeon doors, both inside and out, can be opened. Meanwhile, Cen Lang leans against the wall, not budging an inch.

The resisting instinct in the pheromone storm is firm as iron.

If he could cure him, would he also be a good medical sample? Jiang Li found it hard to resist the temptation of medicine.

Little Jiang Li yearned for a family until he became numb from bullying. Yet, Jiang Li, true to his persistence, surprisingly didn’t reject the idea of having a child. Blood ties are a natural family bond, the only thing he can obtain without standing on a pedestal.”

During the clash of thoughts between heaven and man, Jiang Li suddenly realised: the instinct of the susceptible Omega, desiring the dominant possession of a top-tier Alpha, was interfering with him.

The Alpha pheromones were influencing his thinking.

He needed to go and calm down.

If he wanted to do that, he had to prepare.

Jiang Li fumbled in the dark for the door, and as he was about to push it open, he felt a presence behind him—the Alpha stealthily following.

The skills displayed could make a mentor team cry in the darkness.

“Stop.”

“Stand at attention for thirty minutes,” Jiang Li casually said.

This time, the Alpha’s response was a bit slow, perhaps because the command was too long. Jiang Li could sense hesitation on his face, and after a while, he stood still in place.

Jiang Li pushed the door open, seemingly escaping along the long corridor as if pheromones were chasing him from behind.

In both sensation and reality, it was indeed happening. As the suppressant’s effect wore off, the intensity of the pheromones around him rose steadily.

If Cen Lang were sober at this moment, one might suspect him of having a malicious personality, hindering Jiang Li from escaping.

Originally, Jiang Li just wanted to clear his head through a few doors, but the concentration was too high. He ran all the way to the exit.

Sweat-drenched, eyes gleaming, he forcefully suppressed his unusual heartbeat and shivered, looking like a wolf escaping from the tiger’s mouth.

He pulled out a mask from his pocket to disguise himself. Reaching into the phone slot, the fingers that were usually steady at handling test tubes felt weak and moist. It took a couple of tries before he picked up the phone.

He reached the exit on the ground, where the stars hung in the sky. Jiang Li first noticed the stars hanging in the sky, then met the sharp eyes of a row of vigilant bodyguards. It was hard to say which was brighter.

Jiang Li: “…” It wasn’t a fishing expedition.

“I came out to take a break,” he said, and as he spoke, Jiang Li realised his voice was hoarse.

The bodyguards shockingly made their way. Oh my, truly worthy of being the madam, seemingly weak but actually quite strong.

She actually insisted for three hours before coming out!

Jiang Li took a weak step forward, remembering the unprecedentedly high concentration of his pheromones now. A whiff, and these bodyguards might suffer from erectile dysfunction for a week.

So, he stood still in the darkness about seven or eight metres from the exit, apologising, “Can you guys stay away from me? It’s not good for you.” The head bodyguard waved, signalling a few bodyguards to step back—Mr. Lin carried Mr. Cen’s pheromones, and it would be less headache-inducing if they kept their distance.

But it’s still not far enough; there’s still a chance for erectile dysfunction.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Jiang Li whispered a quick “sorry” and walked away rapidly, finding a spot under a tree within the bodyguards’ line of sight.

One naive bodyguard couldn’t help but comment, “Madam, you’re so polite.”

The head bodyguard snapped, “Shut up.”

Jiang Li opened his phone, and Yang Xiaoli counted the 50,000 yuan a few times before transferring it to his account, avoiding detection.

Contacting the psychologist, Jiang Li straightforwardly asked, “I now have 50,000. Do you have a way to quickly schedule an appointment with Dr. Liu Changqing?”

Ye Wen quickly replied, “I’m having dinner with him now. Do you mind if I send him your file?”

Jiang Li typed, “Sure, thank you for your help.”

For the next ten minutes, Jiang Li stared at the message page without moving, not even bothering to wipe away the beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.

Ye Wen: “Dr. Liu looked at it and said it would take a year plus minor medication assistance.”

Jiang Li: “Thank you. Please also thank Dr. Liu for me. I’ll think of other solutions.”

Jiang Li looked up at the vast and boundless night sky. In the interstellar era, gazing at the stars was no longer purely for admiration. Each shining star could hold energy, rare minerals, cultivation, and possibly your loved ones or friends.
