Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date
Ji Anli was too excited to sleep.
He opened the task bar, planning to earn the remaining two antidote pills from the old duke.
Then he suddenly remembered—did Lin Jing just say he was going to sleep downstairs tonight?
Lin Jing’s sudden rut period had caught him off guard but it usually lasted a few days.
If they were going to sleep in separate rooms for that long, wouldn’t that mean he wouldn’t earn any touch points in the coming days?
Ji Anli took out his wristband and sent Lin Jing a message: “Did you take your inhibitor?”
Lin Jing replied quickly: “No.”
Ji Anli calculated the time and was surprised: “You’re pretty impressive.”
When he started to heat up, he reacted immediately but Lin Jing had gone downstairs for so long without using an inhibitor?
Was he toughing it out?
Did he have something on his mind?
Why wasn’t he using an inhibitor?
He quickly sent another message: “Are you out of inhibitors?”
If he really didn’t have any, Ji Anli still had over five hundred touch points left and could exchange them for one.
This time, Lin Jing’s reply was a bit delayed: “I don’t need it for now. I didn’t use an inhibitor because I just tested the concentration and it’s not high. It hasn’t reached the rut period so I don’t need it for now.”
Ji Anli didn’t know much about Omega heat, let alone Alpha rut period.
Hearing this, he assumed that the concentration was low and within a controllable range, meaning it wasn’t a big deal since no inhibitor was needed.
In that case… was the impact not significant?
“So, are you coming back to sleep?”
On the other side, Lin Jing looked at the string of messages between them.
His gaze inadvertently swept over certain words, causing his ears to heat up.
His replies were not as decisive as usual. He pondered several times before slowly sending them.
When he saw Ji Anli’s latest message, Lin Jing was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
He thought about the pheromones that had just been released.
Although the concentration was low, if it really affected Ji Anli and caused him to heat up and lose his senses, would Ji Anli think he did it on purpose?
Deliberately using Alpha pheromones to entice an Omega into heat?
But they were already partners and had even discussed further intimacy.
Avoiding it wasn’t his style. Ji Anli was more straightforward than he was.
Ji Anli was still in the temporary marking period and relied on him for security.
Without him around, he might not feel safe, especially with a hidden symptom that could go out of control at any time.
Finally, Lin Jing tested the concentration again, confirmed it had dropped to almost zero and replied: “Coming back.”
Seeing the affirmative response, Ji Anli felt good.
Before Lin Jing returned, he quickly checked if there were any suitable tasks
Ji Anli didn’t pay much attention to the first two types of daily tasks this time.
Having completed a task worth a thousand touch points before, he felt that these tasks worth only a few dozen were too inefficient.
What if he could randomly get another high touch point task this time?
Ji Anli stared at the random touch task and hit the refresh button.
Several times in a row, he got low touch point tasks and he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.
But the next time he refreshed, his eyes lit up instantly.
However, when he opened the detailed task description, he fell silent and asked the system, “Why does this task have a special scenario?”
The system replied, “It’s a task worth 300 touch points, multiplied by X10, that’s 3000. Looking at it this way, isn’t it reasonable for it to be a bit demanding?”
Ji Anli thought about how this one task could earn him 3000 touch points and immediately felt that for such a high touch point task, he could endure a special scenario or even a special character.
After all… the touch points were high.
The system kindly reminded him, “For tasks with special scenarios, once accepted they must be completed. Otherwise, failure will result in a penalty. The host should think carefully.”
Ji Anli couldn’t take his eyes off the 300 points, “I get it, I get it.”
But it’s three thousand!
[Love Stronger Than Gold Partner Task] X300 touch points.
1. Fulfill the special scenario: Banquet Hall;
2. To prove the affection between partners, please bravely stand up to defend your partner X1;
3. To prove the affection between partners, please have your partner bravely stand up to defend you X1.
At first, Ji Anli only noticed the special scenario of the banquet hall.
But as he looked further down, he saw the two tasks that seemed the same at first glance but were actually… completely different.
He frowned.
Standing up for Lin Jing was something he had done before, so it wouldn’t be difficult.
The problem was getting Lin Jing to stand up for him.
Although it wasn’t hard, it wasn’t easy to encounter such a situation.
And he needed to solve both tasks at once.
What kind of scenario would give them the opportunity to retaliate against someone who might speak rudely to them?
Surely, he wouldn’t have to attend two banquets for one task, right?
These touch points were indeed hard to earn
It wasn’t as good as last time, though it was less complex, it was easier.
When Lin Jing returned, he saw Ji Anli lying there in a daze, staring blankly at the ceiling, looking completely drained and listless.
He instinctively paused his steps then slowly approached, finally lying down beside Ji Anli and tilting his head to softly ask, “What’s wrong with you?”
Could it be that he’s regretting his earlier decision?
Otherwise, what could be troubling him so much to show such an expression?
Ji Anli, lost in thought, suddenly turned to him upon hearing his voice, his eyes brightening.
The change was so drastic that Lin Jing couldn’t help but stare at him, unable to look away immediately.
Ji Anli unconsciously placed his hand on Lin Jing’s arm, leaning in a bit closer.
“Is His Majesty excited to know that the old duke’s son has been found?”
Lin Jing shook his head then nodded.
“He should be excited but I haven’t seen His Majesty. He only sent the Fifth Prince.”
Ji Anli said, “Since it was so difficult to find Yiya, wouldn’t His Majesty hold some sort of welcome banquet or ceremony to announce his status as the duke’s son?”
He remembered that the only scenario that could satisfy both of these strict conditions at once was a grand banquet where all the noble families would be present.
That way, they could gather the old marshal, Lin Yu, Wen Zhen, and Ji Chenhao.
For Ji Chenhao to connect with the so-called benefactor, the new duke, he must have the opportunity to meet and interact with him.
And since Yiya just returned, the most likely scenario for them to meet quickly and give Ji Chenhao a chance to rise would be such a palace banquet.
Wen Zhen and Ji Chenhao would see this opportunity as their last lifeline and would definitely find a way to attend.
Lin Jing was surprised.
“There is such a plan. The Fifth Prince proposed this idea on behalf of His Majesty and the results will be out in the next couple of days. Everyone will be notified then.”
This banquet would also announce Yiya’s recognition by the royal family and his royal lineage, formally introducing him to everyone and showing His Majesty’s affection and importance for his newly found nephew.
Ji Anli said, “Then we’ll go too.”
Lin Jing hesitated for a moment but still reminded him, “The Ji family and the Wen family will also be there… Do you want to see them?”
Although both families had temporarily left the Ji and Wen families, their noble status remained.
This banquet would surely invite all the nobles and families and they would be included.
Ji Anli replied, “I know.”
He was more worried they wouldn’t be there.
Even if they went, the two families would be more afraid to see him.
Uncle Ji and Wen’s parents might hesitate but given Ji Chenhao’s jealousy and rebelliousness towards him, he wouldn’t be able to resist approaching.
Even if Lin Jing instinctively protected him behind his back, it would still count as support thus completing the task.
Lin Jing was puzzled as Ji Anli suddenly shook off his earlier lethargy, his eyes sparkling as if he was really looking forward to the banquet.
Lin Jing couldn’t quite figure out what was on his mind but seeing him so eager to go, he didn’t mind.
As for safety concerns, he wasn’t worried since it was the palace after all.
Just as Lin Jing was about to agree, he noticed Ji Anli’s eyes light up even more, looking at him expectantly, “Did you forget something?”
Lin Jing asked, “Hmm? What?”
Ji Anli reminded him, “Second form.”
Though it was just four words, Lin Jing understood.
He had come back worried that Ji Anli might have a flare-up of his hidden illness and need comfort.
But for some reason, seeing Ji Anli’s eyes almost glowing with anticipation, he realized that Ji Anli had never shown such joy for his human form…
Lin Jing thought he must be crazy, feeling a bit down because his second form was too popular.
Ji Anli didn’t expect an unexpected surprise tonight.
He had just accepted the [Love Stronger than Gold Partner Task] worried he might miss it later and then instinctively refreshed the page.
The task that appeared made him quickly accept it.
After all, tasks that were this easy and had high touch value were rare.
[Daily Compliment Partner Task] X50 touch value.
Task details: List ten good points of your partner, making his love for you grow day by day.
Ten good points?
Forget ten, he could praise him to the point of blooming.
Ji Anli looked at Lin Jing with anticipation and the moment he saw the snow wolf appear, he felt like everything brightened up with a fluffy expanse before him.
The words of praise flowed effortlessly, genuine and sincere, without any tricks, just pure emotion.
“How long has it been since I last saw you, General Lin? Your fur is so sleek and shiny again. It’s so nice to touch.”
He said, reaching out eagerly to stroke the fluffy neck, his slender white fingers sinking in almost instantly.
Ji Anli couldn’t resist rubbing his head against the chest, thinking that since they had already kissed, a hug wouldn’t be a problem, right?
Not only did he hug but he also didn’t forget to compliment.
He praised the beast’s eyes as the most beautiful he’d ever seen, brighter than obsidian. The tail was so fluffy that their future little wolf cub might even slide down it. The ears were nice to touch, soft and plump and would perk up with a pinch.
Wouldn’t their future cubs be just as adorable?
Lin Jing was caught off guard by the all-encompassing, 360-degree praise ringing in his ears “??”
Until the last four paws almost curled up “!!!”
