Chapter 114: Chapter 114 : An Omega’s Strongest Weapon
Liu Wenyuan patiently listened to Song Wanrong’s woes.
"My Uncle... hic... he does not understand. I never want to stand out. It is hard enough being an omega... I wish I were a beta instead... hic..."
A bitter smile hushed over Liu Wenyuan’s face. He patted Song Wanrong’s back affectionately as the latter laid her upper body across a couch pillow.
What an innocent young thing.
She had yet to know that her betrothed, the Crown Prince, was an omega and not an alpha.
Ever since he came back from the Demonic Realm, the knowledge nagged at Liu Wenyuan’s heart. He wanted to drop the bomb of truth eventually, but he did not want to unnecessarily draw unwanted repercussions toward himself and his Wuyang Palace.
Now, he happened to meet Song Wanrong in Longjing Palace. If that was not heaven’s will, Liu Wenyuan did not know what is.
"Look, your situation is not all that hopeless. You don’t have anything against the Crown Prince, right? All you want is acceptance from the other omegas."
Song Wanrong sniffled and nodded.
"That is easy. All you need is to make it so that the Crown Prince has no choice but to marry you."
In fact, this was his mother’s idea in the first place.
Song Wanrong’s lips parted in surprise at Liu Wenyuan’s words.
"But ...why?"
"Let the Crown Prince shut the other omegas up," Liu Wenyuan urged her. "It’s best if he lies with you before the wedding. Once his seed takes root in your belly, no one will question your position by his side."
Song Wanrong turned beet-red.
"I... But I... I am only sixteen years old. I just differentiated and..."
Liu Wenyuan squeezed Song Wanrong’s hands.
"What are you scared about? He is the Crown Prince. He will take full responsibility for you."
Naturally, that was not Liu Wenyuan’s goal at all. He wanted Song Wanrong to discover the Crown Prince’s real gender.
Once Xie Jianyu’s biggest secret was leaked, he would be stripped of his Crown Prince title.
And then, kidnapping him would be a piece of cake.
"I... I don’t know..."
Song Wanrong pressed both hands against her burning cheeks.
"That is the only way for omegas to secure their claims on their alphas. You know that, right?"
"I... It feels wrong. My parents... my Uncle will be so disappointed with me if I get pregnant out of wedlock."
"Are you sure?"
Song Wanrong gaped at Liu Wenyuan, who smiled gently at her.
"Naturally, they might even throw you out of the clan if you associate yourself with someone of low breeding. But this is the Crown Prince we are talking about."
"I..."
"Did your uncle and parents not urge you to get on friendly terms with the Crown Prince?"
"They... they did, but..."
"What do you think will happen when an omega and an alpha meet too often with each other?"
"T... there are chaperones..."
Liu Wenyuan arched his brow at the shivering little omega opposite him.
"Chaperones will not dare to go between you and the Crown Prince. They are there to prevent you from running off with other alphas."
"I... I... But Prince Liu, I..."
"Sweetling, why so nervous?" Liu Wenyuan laughed. A child is an omega’s strongest weapon. You don’t have to do what I say. This is just an advice, that’s all."
Song Wanrong seemed lost. She did not even bother waiting for Lady Song to come back before she left in a hurry.
Liu Wenyuan’s watched her fleeing figure with a smile on his lips. Suddenly, he felt a choking sensation around his neck. It was there again. The First Demon King!
Liu Wenyuan hurriedly wrapped a long silk shawl around his neck and went toward the small pond behind the palace.
There, he took off his shawl and looked at his reflection on the water’s surface.
As he expected, marks from the First Demon King showed up again. The ugly dark and purplish marks kept coming and going ever since he left the Demonic Realm.
What a hateful Demon King.
Liu Wenyuan slapped against the water’s surface, only to hear a cold voice ringing in his ears.
"Liu Wenyuan, when do you plan to deliver the Golden Lotus into my arms?"
Liu Wenyuan cried out in shock. He rose to his feet and looked around him in a fit of panic.
"Where are you???" he screamed. "Show yourself! This... This is the Longjing Palace!"
The cold voice roared with laughter in his ears.
"Hahahahaha... stupid omega, do I even need to be there to speak to you?"
Liu Wenyuan gritted his teeth.
"Leave me alone!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Liu Wenyuan dropped to his knees when the choking sensation intensified, cutting off the air supply to his body.
"I can kill you just fine without crossing the realm. Is that what you want, hm?"
Liu Wenyuan scratched his neck desperately.
"Wait! Wait!!! I am working on it! If you were spying on me, you should know what I am trying to do!!!" he choked out.
The First Demon King withdrew his attack.
Liu Wenyuan panted hard on the ground as he held onto his neck.
"Time. I need time. Please. He is the Crown Prince. I can’t..."
"Wenyuan, what happened?"
Zhang Fengxi finally returned to Longjing Palace. He sounded worried as he rushed to help Liu Wenyuan stand on his feet.
"Prince Fengxi... I... um..."
Liu Wenyuan sounded disoriented, almost as if he did not know how he landed outside.
"Did something happen?"
"I... I got dizzy. Just some dizzy spells. Yes."
Zhang Fengxi smiled. He patted some leaves off Liu Wenyuan’s hair.
"If you are not feeling better, why not rest a little inside? Come, let me help you."
Liu Wenyuan wrapped his arms around Zhang Fengxi’s tightly as the latter helped him into the palace.
No, Liu Wenyuan thought to himself.
If he did not help kidnap Xie Jianyu quickly, he was going to lose his life. In order for that to happen, Song Wanrong’s cooperation was crucial.
