The Predator at the Top

Su Jingsheng felt a bit of pain from his pinch, and her eyes grew even redder.

But she didn't hide.

She tilted her face up to look at him, then suddenly leaned forward, her soft lips pressing against his protruding Adam's apple, taking it into her mouth with a gentle suck.

Bo Jinghuai was once again pleasured by her kiss. The hand pinching her chin loosened and clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging menacingly.

He forced himself to endure, barely keeping from letting out a gasp.

Su Jingsheng pulled back slightly, her voice light and soft, tinged with a sense of grievance. "I haven't."

"I've never been involved with any other man."

"My first kiss belongs to you."

She added in a small voice, "Just now in the booth, that was the first time I've ever kissed anyone."

Bo Jinghuai felt a bit more at ease.

Su Jingsheng looked at him and continued, "I don't want to go home because the Su Family has gone bankrupt."

"My father owes a lot of money and wants to give me to another man to pay off his debts."

She sniffled, her eyes red. "I'm scared. I don't like any of those people."

She reached out, her slender arms wrapping around his neck. "I only like you. I only want to go home with you."

Bo Jinghuai stared at her for a long time, so long that Su Jingsheng thought he was going to refuse again.

Then he suddenly reached out and lifted her down from the table.

His movements weren't exactly gentle, but he didn't drop her either.

When Su Jingsheng's feet hit the ground, she couldn't stand steadily and swayed. Bo Jinghuai steadied her by the waist.

His hands were very large. A single palm could almost encircle her waist.

"Su Jingsheng," he spoke.

"Remember, you chose this yourself."

"Once you come home with me, don't regret it."

Su Jingsheng looked up at him, her eyes bright, and nodded vigorously. "I won't regret it."

Bo Jinghuai glanced at her, let go, and turned to walk toward the door.

After taking a couple of steps, he didn't hear the Little girl's footsteps following him.

He stopped and frowned, grumbling to himself: Didn't she say she wanted to come home with me? Where's her awareness about situations?

"Keep up," Bo Jinghuai turned back and took the initiative to say.

Su Jingsheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly jogged to catch up.

Only then did Bo Jinghuai pull open the door and walk out.

The corridor lights were very bright, shining on his face. He remained expressionless, but it felt like his mood had improved significantly.

Su Jingsheng followed behind him, looking at his tall and upright back, and pursed her still-numb lips.

The corners of her mouth curved up in a secret smile.

...

The next day, Su Jingsheng opened her eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, taking several seconds to realize where she was.

Bo Jinghuai's apartment.

After he brought her back last night, he seemed a bit annoyed with himself.

He had dismissed her with a single sentence: "The guest room is on the left."

Su Jingsheng sat up and rubbed her heavy head.

She was Su Jingsheng, yet she wasn't.

Three days ago, she was a genius musician in another parallel world. To polish a piece of music, she had stayed up for an entire night.

Her body, which had been weak from birth, finally gave out. Her vision went black, and she died suddenly.

When she woke up again, she had already arrived in this world.

A voice calling itself the world consciousness told her:

"In this world, based on the male and female sexes, humans have extended into six genders."

"Betas are the majority, accounting for sixty percent of the population. They are like the ordinary people you know—they have no pheromones and cannot smell them. They are the cornerstone of society's operation, but they rarely touch the true core of power."

"The remaining forty percent is split equally between Alphas and Omegas."

"Alphas are natural-born controllers. Their intelligence, physical strength, and pheromones far exceed those of ordinary people. They are born at the top of the pyramid, controlling ninety percent of the world's resources and power."

"But they have a rut period and need the pheromones of a partner to soothe them; otherwise, they will suffer pain or even lose control."

"Omegas are more delicate, softer, and more beautiful, especially high-level Omegas."

"Their pheromones are not aggressive, yet they can effectively soothe Alphas. Moreover, only Omegas can give birth to powerful Alpha offspring."

"Therefore, they are resources to be fought over and kept in captivity."

"As for Enigmas, they are legends among Alphas, the most elite Alpha mutants."

"They are only born when an Alpha with extremely high talent—at least SSS-rank—undergoes a mutation with an extremely low probability."

"They are seen once in a millennium and are the true predators at the top of all genders."

"Bo Jinghuai is one."

"Unfortunately, because he stands too high, there is almost no one who can match him, and he is overly picky."

"Without an Omega to soothe him, his rut will backfire on him, and he won't survive it."

"Even when he finally lowered his standards and married his childhood friend, the S-rank Omega Shen Qingyue..."

"It was too late by then, and their compatibility was low. Before their wedding night could even begin, Bo Jinghuai died."

Speaking of this, the world consciousness was both frustrated and annoyed.

It hadn't expected its own'son' to fall so early for such a reason.

Thus, it urgently searched through various parallel dimensions and finally selected her, Su Jingsheng, a visitor from another world whose soul was a perfect 100% match with Bo Jinghuai.

"I don't want to woo a man," was Su Jingsheng's first reaction after hearing all this.

"I only like music. You've found the wrong person."

The world consciousness fell silent for a moment.

Then, it changed its tone, sounding somewhat coaxing: "Everything comes with a price."

"If you want to live, you have to help me make sure Bo Jinghuai survives his fatal ordeal."

"Furthermore, in your current identity as the Eldest Miss of the Su Family, your family has already gone bankrupt and is heavily in debt."

"Your father is planning to give you to a powerful man in his fifties as a mistress to pay off those debts."

The world consciousness pulled up a screen of images:

The Original Body's father was bowing and scraping into the phone, saying, "Don't worry, President Wang, I will definitely deliver my daughter."

Su Jingsheng frowned. How could a father not love his own daughter?

The world consciousness added:

"Besides the Su Family, there is also a woman in the shadows, Shen Qingyue, who has loved Bo Jinghuai for many years. She believed the Original Body had once defiled Bo Jinghuai and poisoned her with a gene-destroying toxin."

"That's how the Original Body died."

"Currently, in this identity, you have no money and no power, and there are people in the shadows trying to harm you."

"Standing alone without support, how many days could you possibly survive?"

"Helping me is also helping yourself. Don't you want to return to the life of a pampered young lady who only needs to focus on art without worrying about making a living?"
