TSFLIP Chapter 490

Xu Wang looked at the girl whose head was still buried in her arms on the desk, refusing to lift it no matter what. He let out a low, amused laugh.
“Miss Xia, going into heat is a completely normal thing. There’s no need to feel embarrassed. As a woman, before you’re officially bonded, you have every right to release your pheromones to anyone you’re attracted to.”

“Bonded?” she asked, cracking her fingers open just enough to peek at him through them—like a kid pretending she couldn’t be seen.

Xu Wang explained with all seriousness,
“Bonding occurs when an Alpha’s reproductive organ enters an Omega’s uterus. The tip swells and forms a knot, similar to a butterfly stopper, locking inside the Omega’s canal to prevent escape during mating. At that moment, the Alpha’s pheromones peak. Once the Omega receives the Alpha’s semen, they begin to carry the Alpha’s scent, marking them. From then on, they’ll only go into heat for that Alpha.”

“…I’m still a kid. I don’t understand a word you’re saying,” she mumbled and closed her fingers again, going full ostrich.

Xu Wang said gently,
“I’m only explaining basic knowledge from around here. It’s for your good.”

Her heart thudded wildly in her chest. “O-okay…” she replied, voice muffled.

“Bonding is considered a deeply fulfilling experience,” he continued. “But if an Omega who’s already bonded gets marked by someone else, it becomes extremely painful—so much so that it can even lead to death.”

Oh my God.
This world was terrifying.

Still in ostrich mode, she asked, “H-how do you even know all that? Don’t tell me… you’ve already marked someone?”

There was a pause. Xu Wang didn’t answer right away. In the quiet, his eyes darkened, just slightly. Then, he softened again and said,
“These things are all recorded in books.”

“Spicy books?” she blurted out instinctively, lifting her head—revealing her blushing, utterly flustered face. That color on her cheeks… it was almost seductive.

“They’re textbooks,” he replied calmly. “It’s a bit warm today…”
With that, he casually undid a button at the collar of his shirt, revealing the sharp line of his collarbone. Sure enough, she unconsciously swallowed, and the scent of her pheromones grew even stronger in the air.

For the first time, Xu Wang realized:
Not everyone who goes into heat for him is disgusting.
At least… this girl, so obviously tempted but too afraid to act on it, was unbearably cute.
Cute enough that he couldn’t resist teasing her just a little.

Feng Guang covered her burning cheeks with both hands. That’s when she had a very unfortunate epiphany:
Pheromones are reciprocal.
Meaning—if her heat successfully affected him, then his response would release pheromones that, in turn, affected her.
And if this kept escalating…
Well. It’d be a full-blown firestorm with no way to stop it.

This world was… way too f*cking dangerous!

Feng Guang jumped up from her chair like she’d been burned.
“I’m not feeling well! I’m going back to rest. Warden, goodbye!”

And in the blink of an eye, she was gone like a puff of smoke.

That was the first time Xu Wang had ever seen someone go into heat for him—and still manage to pull away and leave.

As the sweet scent in the air began to fade, he glanced down at the very noticeable tent in his lap and let out a helpless sigh.

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, trying to hold on to the last trace of her scent.
Then his hand slipped under the table… grasping his eager reaction.
