Chapter 105 – This omega has no pheromones, but his smell is damn attractive!

Translator: Rin    Editor: Mars    Proofreader: Ume

The Freshman Mecha Competition was not only full of spectators, but the live broadcast on StarNet was also popular. During the finals, millions of people watched online.

Therefore, Lu Heng’s live proposal of “Can I apply to marry you first?” not only resounded throughout the entire stadium but was also broadcast live throughout the empire through the StarNet.

After he finished shouting those words, the audience who were still cheering suddenly seemed to have their pause button pressed. The entire square fell into an eerie silence. The other contestants under the podium all looked stunned.

It was not that they had never seen someone else propose, but they had never seen such a coquettish proposal. What’s more, he was proposing to his own instructor.

Since Qiao Yu, Ling Ao, and Luo Qi knew the inside story, it was not surprising to them. Among them, Kate and Teck were as if they had been struck by lightning. Their reaction was even worse than when Qiao Yu and the others first knew about it. They looked at Jiang Li, dumbfounded, their mouths opened wide enough to stuff a goose egg in.

After a brief silence, the entire square suddenly erupted with a loud shout, which was even more exaggerated than when Lu Heng won the championship. Everyone began to discuss it aloud.

“Holy shit! Proposal?!”

“The Fourth Prince and Major Jiang Li? Did I hear that correctly?!!”

“Proposing in front of the whole empire? Isn’t it __”

“As expected of the fourth prince, he is a role model for alphas!”

“I remember that Major Jiang doesn’t have glands anymore, right? Is the Fourth Prince’s proposal serious?”

“Student-instructor relationship? This feels so fucking cool!”

“What does it matter even if there are no glands? There is love!”

“That’s right! For someone as powerful as Major Jiang, what’s the use of glands?”

“You can’t say that, an omega is still incomplete without glands.”

“You are complete. But are you as good as Major Jiang’s one finger? Can’t you see who Major Jiang is!”

“…”

Jiang Li really didn’t expect that Lu Heng would suddenly make such a move. Jiang Li had also made this kind of proposal in front of the whole country before. In the first world, he proposed to Jiang Zhan when he won the Best Actor trophy.

But that was entirely because Jiang Zhan had complained several times that he was like an underground lover and wanted to make it public. He never thought that one day it would be the other way around, and Lu Heng would propose to him in front of the people of the entire empire. It seemed like the tables had turned.

Even without looking, Jiang Li could feel tens of thousands of eyes focused on him. He could almost imagine the Anecdote headlines on the StarNet tomorrow, such as:

[His Royal Highness, the most favored prince in the empire, is in love with his direct instructor, and boldly proposes in public!]

[The student fell in love with the instructor. This omega has no pheromones, but his smell is damn attractive!]

[The overbearing prince’s shocking proposal of marriage, if this is not considered love, what else do I have to look forward to?!]

[Teacher-student relationship! Alphas and omegas are naturally attracted to each other, and status is never an obstacle!]

Starnet Anecdote is a news section that mainly focuses on weird themes, similar to the web news of a certain browser in Jiang Li’s previous world.

Jiang Li deeply felt that photos of himself and Lu Heng would be posted on this weird news section the next day.

He didn’t expect that after so many years of not being a celebrity, he would still have the opportunity to experience this kind of opportunity to be noticed by the world and make headlines on the Internet. This feeling of having everyone know that he was in a teacher-student relationship was really indescribable.

However, as if the instigator didn’t think it was attention-seeking enough, he took the microphone and continued to ask on the stage: “Instructor, are you willing to marry me? If you are not willing, I will ask again tomorrow!”

Ask again tomorrow? Are you so free?

The veins on Jiang Li’s forehead twitched. Before he could say anything, some of the audience members who were enjoying the bustling scene suddenly started chanting tacitly: “Accept him! Accept him! Accept him! Accept him!!”

The shouts grew from small to loud, and soon spread throughout the square. As if they were infected by this atmosphere, even the contestants of the team under the podium shouted: “Accept him! Accept him! Accept him! Accept him!”

Amidst such noise, Jiang Li had already peeled off Lu Heng’s skin in his heart. When he raised his head, he happened to meet Lu Heng’s eyes on the stage and found that he was looking at him expectantly, a little nervous and uneasiness could be sensed in the anticipation.

He’s probably afraid that I’m not willing.

Jiang Li was simply feeling angry yet funny, but there was nothing he could do about him. After all, he was the person he had loved for three lifetimes.

Amidst the huge shouts, even if Jiang Li spoke, Lu Heng might not be able to hear him. He slowly raised his hand and gestured to Lu Heng.

All military school students knew the meaning of this gesture, which was the military’s sign language and meant: “Okay.”

Lu Heng did not have confidence when he decided to propose marriage. After all, he had already proposed marriage twice, but Jiang Li didn’t agree to it. However, he was not afraid. Anyway, if it doesn’t work once, just do it twice, and if it doesn’t work twice, do it thrice. There would be one time that would work.

So when Jiang Li made a gesture of agreement, he was completely stunned. After coming back to his senses, ecstasy suddenly hit his heart. He didn’t care about the occasion anymore and thrust the microphone and trophy in his hand toward the host, jumped off the stage directly, strode up to Jiang Li, and under everyone’s gaze, reached out and hugged him tightly.

From his arms that were shaking with excitement, Jiang Li felt how happy he was in his heart. This act of rushing to hug him was similar to Jiang Zhan’s rush back from abroad to hug him when he saw his proposal back then. It was no different.

When the two hugged, everyone present applauded, and the applause was thunderous and never-ending.

At the same time, Lu Heng’s favorability score, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly rose to 98%.

The scene of Lu Heng’s proposal was so grand that even Lu Qing and Lu Qi in the empire’s capital knew about it. After the award ceremony, they sent a message asking Lu Heng and Jiang Li to go back with Qiao Xi.

When Jiang Li heard this, he got worried. He really could not hide from meeting his parents this time.

Qiao Yu saw him frowning and said from the side: “Instructor, don’t be afraid, my uncle and cousin are very nice people!”

“It’s not like Instructor has never seen your uncle before.” Ling Ao gave him a look of disdain.

“That’s right.” Qiao Yu slapped his forehead. Jiang Li had only been their instructor for a few months, and for a moment he had forgotten that he was the most promising young major in the military.

Kate and Teck’s expressions were still in a daze, and they still hadn’t digested the news that Jiang Li and Lu Heng were lovers. During their training normally, Jiang Li was strict towards Lu Heng, and he didn’t look like a lover at all.

Since he was going back with Lu Heng, Jiang Li arranged for Qiao Yu and the others to go back to school with the instructors in Area C, and then he and Lu Heng went to the previous VIP reception room to find Qiao Xi.

Before going there, Jiang Li was still thinking about what Qiao Xi would think of this “proposal” incident. Unexpectedly, once he got there, he found that she had already helped them choose wedding rings on the StarNet.

Regarding this, Jiang Li only had one thought: They are indeed from the same family.

Jiada Square was a bit far from the empire capital. Qiao Xi came by aircraft. Because she traveled in a low-key manner, she didn’t have many people with her. There were two small escort teams with a total of twelve people.

On the way back, Jiang Li and Lu Heng followed Qiao Xi on the main aircraft. The aircraft of the two escort teams lined up on both sides to protect them along the way.

Lu Heng and Qiao Xi were already discussing the details of their marriage. Jiang Li sat aside and drank tea quietly as if he was staying out of it. He only answered a few words when they asked for his opinion.

“Host doesn’t seem very happy?” System asked aloud.

“It’s not that I’m unhappy, I’m just shocked by such a sudden incident.” Jiang Li smiled in his heart. Being able to marry his lover legally, how could he not be happy?

“Jiang Li.” Qiao Xi raised her head and called him, “Do you have any requests for the wedding process and venue?”

Lu Heng and Jiang Li were getting married, so she no longer called Jiang Li “Major Jiang” in an unfamiliar way. After all, they would soon be a family.

Jiang Li knew that royal marriages had prescribed procedures and rituals. Qiao Xi asking for his opinion meant that she really respected him, so he said, “It’s all fine. I have no requests.”

“Okay, then I’ll go back and ask the etiquette officer to choose a suitable day.”

“The sooner the better!” Lu Heng said, “By the way, if we get married, does the school have…”

Before Lu Heng finished speaking, the aircraft suddenly shook violently. Qiao Xi was unprepared, and she almost fell forward after shaking a few times. Lu Heng quickly supported her: “Be careful!”

The aircraft was still shaking. Jiang Li stabilized his body, stood up from the sofa, picked up the communicator next to him, and called the cockpit: “I’m Jiang Li, what happened?”

“Report to Major Jiang, there are four warships chasing us!” the pilot said while connecting to the outdoor video. The situation around the aircraft was clearly transferred to the virtual screen in front of Jiang Li and the others.

It was not known when the four small battleships followed behind their aircraft. The battleship’s particle cannons were facing the aircraft. They were probably avoiding the cannonballs earlier which caused the aircraft’s body to shake.

At the same time, the battleship’s particle cannon fired again, this time aiming at the convoy next to it. One of the aircraft dodged the first cannonball but failed to dodge the second one. Half of its tail was blown off, and it could barely maintain its balance.

When Jiang Li saw this, he immediately turned around and walked out: “Silver Sparrow! Get ready to fight!”

“Copy that.”

Just as Lu Heng was about to follow, Qiao Xi held his hand reflexively: “No…”

Lu Heng turned around and saw the worry and tension in her eyes. He reached out and hugged her, and said firmly: “Don’t worry, Mother, I can protect you.”

Qiao Xi looked at him. Jiang Li had already walked to the cabin door. She gritted her teeth and let go of Lu Heng’s hand: “Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.” Lu Heng nodded, ordered the two guards standing by to protect Qiao Xi, and then quickly ran to Jiang Li’s side.

After the aircraft and the battleship were separated, the hatch was opened, and two mechas, one black and one silver, appeared in the air. Behind them, the escort also jumped out of the hatch. Eight mechas lined up in a row to protect the main aircraft in front.

Silver Sparrow held the long gun in its hand and dodged the incoming cannons. It raised its hand and waved, and the sharp blade brought out by the spear cut through the muzzle of the particle cannons on the battleships. The powerful force broke straight through the inside of the battleship after cutting through the particle cannons. As the silver light disappeared, the battleship exploded!

In the billowing smoke of the battleship explosion, two mechas flew out from it and rushed straight towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li said in a cold tone: “Light cannon.”

“Understood.”

The spear flashed with white light in Silver Sparrow’s hand, transforming into a six-hole light cannon gun with a length of five meters. Silver Sparrow held it on its shoulder, without having to aim at all, and shot one at a time, exploding the two oncoming mecha into pieces.

On the other side, Lu Heng piloted Black Eagle, nimbly dodging the series of cannons from the battleship like a dragon. The spear in its hand slashed down, cutting the mecha in front of him in half. At the same time, the particle cannon holes on its shoulders were opened, and two high-energy cannons flew straight towards the nearest battleship, blasting it into a thick smoke!

The cooperation between two SSSS-level mechas was simply a one-sided massacre. The attacking battleships and mechas were swept away by Jiang Li and Lu Heng in a short time, leaving them without even a chance to escape.

After dealing with the enemy, Lu Heng and Jiang Li did not return to the aircraft. Instead, they drove Black Eagle and Silver Sparrow to protect Qiao Xi all the way back to the empire’s capital.

As soon as Lu Heng came down from Black Eagle, Qiao Xi immediately stepped forward: “How was it? Did you injure yourself?”

“No.” Lu Heng smiled, “I told you I can protect you, trust me.”

Qiao Xi understood the meaning of his words and glanced between him and Black Eagle. Remembering what Lu Heng said when she was a child that he would protect her when he grew up, she couldn’t help but smile with relief.

“It’s great that you’re not injured.” Qiao Xi nodded, then turned to ask Jiang Li if he was hurt.

“No.” Jiang Li shook his head, “I just don’t know where these people came from.”

“Let’s go back to the palace first and talk in detail later.” Qiao Xi said.

The three of them walked towards the palace together. Halfway through, Lu Heng suddenly stopped: “By the way, I haven’t finished what I just said!!”

Jiang Li asked: “What were you talking about?”

Lu Heng: “We are getting married. The school allows us to have wedding leave, right? Where are we going for our honeymoon?”

Jiang Li: “…”

What are you thinking about all day long?
