Arc 7: Chapter 4
The Alpha was somewhat in disbelief upon hearing the word ‘admirer’. If it was in the past, Wei Feng wouldn't have been surprised, after all, his wife, Bai Cen, was a 3S-rank Omega who had chased him.
Thinking of Bai Cen, Wei Feng realized that he couldn’t even remember what Bai Cen had looked like before they got married. All that came to mind were resentful eyes and the image of him and the emperor in bed together.
This Omega who had just become an adult said he liked him…
Wei Feng felt a sense of responsibility to let this little Omega understand a few things, including what his face looked like now.
The Alpha pushed up the bangs covering his forehead. On his pale, almost pallid skin, a grotesque, twisted scar ran across his face, turning a once handsome Alpha into a sinister look.
Although Lin Yuan had known about the scar from the plot, when he actually saw it, he was still shocked. He didn’t know how to describe it. The Alpha’s handsome appearance was composed of deep and refined features, with a scholarly elegance, but with the scar, he seemed like a polished yet dangerous and mature man.
The most eye-catching was the Alpha’s eyes. Lin Yuan had never seen such beautiful eyes before, ones that were an intense blue like an extension of the sky or crashing waves on the ocean.
Lin Yuan liked his eyes. They were gorgeous. He really wanted to kiss them, and he wanted to kiss Wei Feng’s scar too.
Hearing Lin Yuan’s silence, Wei Feng assumed that the little Omega had been frightened. Being scared was good, he thought, in this way, the little Omega will no longer say anything about liking him anymore.
The Alpha showed a smile, and the scar on his face distorted eerily. His voice was hoarse and cold: “Seeing my face, do you have anything left to say?”
At this moment, Lin Yuan’s thoughts were far from pure. In the past, his husband’s scars were always sensitive areas, and the man would have especially cute reactions when Lin Yuan licked them. Now that his husband had a scar on his face… if he licked it, he wondered how much more excited his husband would get. Just thinking about it made his heart beat rapidly.
Lin Yuan was thinking so seriously that he didn’t even hear the Alpha’s question clearly. He blinked his eyes in daze and reacted: “Ah? What did you say?”
Wei Feng was a little caught off guard by Lin Yuan’s reaction. He looked at Lin Yuan and repeated his question word for word again.
This time, Lin Yuan heard him clearly. Thinking about the naughty things he had just imagined, he blushed with embarrassment. He covered his hot cheek and one hand and stammered bluntly: “I… I want to kiss…”
Wei Feng: “…”
The man thought he really must’ve misheard: “Say it again.”
Lin Yuan’s whole face was as red as a tomato. His violent eyes fluttered nervously as he looked softly at Wei Feng, his voice growing louder but sweeter: “I want to kiss you!”
“I said I want to kiss you!”
This Omega didn’t play according to expectation at all. After a long silence, the Alpha pushed up his bangs even more and said flatly: “Take a closer look.”
Lin Yuan nodded obediently and leaned closer and carefully studied the Alpha’s face. The more he looked, the more he thought his husband was crazy handsome, especially with the scar.
Wei Feng asked again: “What do you want to say? Say it properly.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes were clear and sticky as he said shyly: “Marshal, nothing has changed. I still want to kiss you…”
Wei Feng grew up as a proud son of heaven. He was born into the powerful and prestigious Kristaux family, differentiated as a top-tier Alpha, and smoothly entered the military after graduation, fought his way up through battles, earned countless merits and honors, and finally reached the position of Imperial Marshal.
Even though he had experienced many major events, Wei Feng found himself at a loss by the forwardness of this delicate little Omega.
How can such a passionate and warm Omega exist?
The Marshal lowered his eyes uncomfortably and didn’t look at the beautiful Omega anymore. He said faintly: “You… go out.”
Lin Yuan was confused and shook his head: “I won’t leave, I want to stay with you.”
Wei Feng’s brilliant blue pupils seemed to flicker with shadows, making the air heavy: “Little Omega, you can’t soothe my spiritual power. I only need an Omega who can, I can’t be with you. Go out.”
Lin Yuan knew that Wei Feng didn’t like him right now, but hearing him say it so directly still hurt. His eyes turned red in an instant and his lips quivered, looking on the verge of crying.
Wei Feng as even more at loss, why did he suddenly cry? He was about to open his mouth when he saw the little Omega put the bouquet in his arms on the ground and his slender, pale fingers wiped his eyes, as if brushing away tears.
Wei Feng was even more flustered. He had made the little Omega cry. The Alpha wanted to apologize, but Lin Yuan spoke first: “I understand. I’ll leave now. These flowers are my gift for you, I picked every single one. They’re all very beautiful, I hope you like them.”
After saying that, Lin Yuan pressed the button by the door and a Beta outside immediately opened it to let him out.
Wei Feng stared at the now tightly shut door, and after a moment of silence, he walked over the bouquet of roses.
He gathered the flowers into his arms, and his long fingers brushed over each vivid petal, soft and delicate, just like that little Omega.
Wei Feng thought over every sentence that the little Omega had said earlier, and his dull heart finally seemed to react. It started to beat violently in disarray, and had never beat this fast before.
When the next Omega entered the room, Wei Feng didn’t bother to hide the scar on his face.
Seeing the Omega’s fear and then avoidance, the Alpha couldn’t help but mock himself. Sure enough, with this scar, the current Wei Feng was no longer the perfect Imperial Marshal. Obviously, he was still him, but it felt like he wasn’t.

On the hovercraft, Lin Yuan ate his cake unhappily, piece after piece.
Wei Lan noticed the teenager’s low mood and sat beside him, asking: “Are you not feeling well?”
Lin Yuan didn’t want to pay attention to anyone from the Kristaux family right now. He pretended not to hear and kept stuffing cake into his mouth, cheeks puffed out.
Wei Lan wasn’t mad, he was even a little amused. A newly-of-age Omega was still like a little kid in his eyes.
When the hovercraft stopped in front of Imperial University and they got off, the other student Omega walked next to Lin Yuan and began to chat: “I didn’t expect Marshal Wei to be disfigured like that. The scar was so terrible that I was almost scared to death, no wonder his wife doesn’t want to sooth his spiritual power and he has to find people outside. If I were his wife, I wouldn’t want to either.”
This only made Lin Yuan more upset. He grabbed the Omega’s wrist and performed a smooth over-the-shoulder throw. He said angrily: “You wouldn’t want to? Who do you think you are? Wei Feng wouldn’t want you anyways!”
Grrr, so infuriating!! Sure, the scar made the Alpha look a little fierce, but it only made his husband even more handsome and masculine! This Omega had no taste!!
When had this Omega encountered such a thing? Being thrown to the ground left him in pain and aggrieved. He shouted at Lin Yuan’s retreating back: “You must be crazy!”
This light throw was just to teach this Omega a lesson, Lin Yuan had gone easy on him because he was an Omega.
Because he was still angry, Lin Yuan didn’t go see Wei Feng for the next month. He focused on training his body and improving his physical strength.
But he still kept up with the news on Wei Feng’s situation. The other party had temporarily suppressed his spiritual power with inhibitors and returned to the military headquarters to deal with military affairs.
By now, many people of the general public had learned about Marshal Wei Feng’s disfigurement. A few candid photos circulated on the Star Net, and the masses felt sorry and left comments under the articles:
[The Marshal used to be the most handsome Alpha in the empire, but now he’s disfigured, it’s such a pity.]
[Why did the injury have to be on his face?]
[Maybe it can be removed using surgery?]
Lin Yuan didn’t agree with these comments at all. His husband was still the most handsome even with the scar, okay?! Why was everyone reacting like Wei Feng was ruined?
In the next battle, Wei Feng led the First and Fifth Army to defeat a horde of alien beasts. He returned in triumph and a medal-awarding ceremony was held at the Imperial Palace, which was also broadcasted-live on the Star Net.
After the ceremony at night, the Kristaux family also held a banquet to celebrate. The Lin family was naturally among the invited guests.
Lin Yuan attended the banquet with his grandfather and older brother.
The Kristaux family mansion was filled with clinking glasses and lively conversation. Lin Yuan held onto his brother’s arm as they mingled among the nobles.
He was starting to get bored when a tall and imposing figure came down from the second floor.
The Alpha’s silver-gray hair was combed back, revealing a handsome face and his entire scar. His sharp and refined temperament exuded an indescribable sense of contradiction. A pair of bright blue eyes sparkled like starlight, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Behind him walked an Omega in a white formal suit, with gorgeous features and skin as fair as jade.
As the host, Wei Feng brought his wife, Bai Cen, and greeted the guests one by one. When they reached the Lin family, the Alpha’s eyes flickered slightly when he saw the little Omega next to Duke Lin Chao’en.
The Duke smiled and greeted Wei Feng, introducing his two grandsons, Lin Yuan’s older brother, Lin Qian, and Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan stepped forward and his violet eyes curved. He stretched out his hand: “Marshal, nice to meet you. I’m Lin Yuan. I admire you very much, may I shake your hand?”
No one else felt anything odd, it was just a handshake.
Wei Feng looked into the little Omega’s clear eyes and unconsciously rubbed his fingers silently. He grasped the softer and smaller hand.
When they separated, Wei Feng’s pupils trembled slightly, and the tips of his ears were faintly flushed.
The little Omega not only scratched his palm softly, he even slipped him a note.
Right in front of Wei Feng’s wife.
Right in front of the Omega’s family.
In front of everyone.
