Just as Zhao Ning had anticipated, the Gu family had already learned about Shen Xi's second split into an Alpha.

After leaving Chao Ning's room, Shen Xi stayed in his room until Gu Xiangnan returned. He knew that he was different from others and had a vague understanding that he would be an Alpha. That's why, no matter how well Gu Xiangnan treated him all these years, he never truly responded. He regarded Gu Xiangnan as a friend before, and it would remain the same in the future.

To be honest, when he was an Omega, he didn't feel much towards Alphas. But then Chao Ning appeared. Chao Ning was a complete surprise to him. It was a surprise that he found Chao Ning, this particular Alpha, somewhat interesting. It was a surprise that Chao Ning triggered his second arousal. And it was a surprise that he couldn't resist marking Chao Ning.

He was surprised that he had never thought an Alpha's pheromones could be so fragrant and sweet.

He could have endured it at that time, but unfortunately, Chao Ning ran into him. His canines pierced into her glands, causing his self-control to collapse instantly.

And then it spiralled out of control.

"Did you transform into an Alpha?" Gu Xiangnan still couldn't believe it.

Shen Xi chuckled lightly, "Not enough?"

Gu Xiangnan scanned Shen Xi from top to bottom before noticing that Shen Xi had grown taller. Even his bone structure seemed to have broadened, and even his originally gentle features had become more rugged. Anyone who glanced at him would think that Shen Xi was an Alpha. But how was that possible? How could an Omega transform into an Alpha again?

The pheromone scent emanating from Shen Xi's body couldn't be faked. The original taste of pure milk was mixed with a hint of alcohol aroma, if he remembered correctly, it should be Ice Duke's Refined Liquor. Many people would add milk to this kind of liquor, making the originally sharp taste milder, without compromising its richness. Even many Omegas enjoyed drinking it.

Shen Xi was no exception.

Shen Xi approached Gu Xiangnan and looked at him directly, saying, "I have become an Alpha. Do you still like me?"

In front of Shen Xi, Gu Xiangnan rarely changed his expression. Gu Xiangnan was torn between two emotions in his heart, one being his lingering affection for Shen Xi and the other being his resistance towards him. It's important to know that there is a strong mutual repulsion between two Alphas, especially between two high-quality Alphas. Although there are rare examples of two top Alphas being in a romantic relationship, it is extremely uncommon, not even reaching 1%.

Two Alphas in a romantic relationship not only need to love and accept each other enough, but they also have to be willing to show vulnerability. However, Alphas have always been dominant, so who would be willing to show weakness for an Alpha of equal standing?

"After conducting a pheromone test, we can confirm whether you have truly undergone differentiation and become an Alpha," Gu Xiangnan said with difficulty, administering himself another dose of a stimulant. "Xiao Xi, I know you've always wanted to become an Alpha, but such cases are really rare, and...

"Do you think it's fake?" Shen Xi stared straight at Gu Xiangnan and said, "You don't believe me."

Gu Xiannan said, "I don't have it, Xiaoxi..."

"Then, shall we give it a try?" Shen Xi had just finished separating his scent, coincidentally entering his receptive period. At the moment, he had only received some comfort from Chao Ning's pheromones, which made him behave a bit more obediently. As long as he wished, he could release a strong scent at any time. He merely informed Gu Xiangnan, and as soon as the words left his mouth, he had already emitted his pheromones towards Gu Xiangnan.

At this moment, Shen Xi's pheromones carried a hint of aggression, directly triggering Gu Xiangnan's instinctive resistance. Gu Xiangnan forcefully suppressed his pheromones, but they only barely stalled between the two of them and couldn't progress any further.

Gu Xiangnan was slightly stunned. He was an S-level Alpha, so the only one who could resist his pheromones had to be at least an S-level Alpha as well.

"If that's the case..."

Gu Xiangnan tried to release his spiritual power, but as soon as he unleashed it, another force of spiritual power blocked it.

"Do you still want to give it a try?" Shen Xi's expression turned a bit unpleasant, and his impatience was evident between his brows.

Due to the excessive use of pheromones, he was finally able to suppress the first wave of sensitive reactions triggered by the marking towards Ning. However, there was now a tendency for a rekindling phenomenon.

Gu Xiangnan still had feelings for Shen Xi in his heart, so he immediately absorbed the pheromones and spiritual power. As soon as the pressure was lifted, he was directly confronted by Shen Xi's pheromones and pressure, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Xiao Xi, calm down the pheromones and gather your spiritual energy," Gu Xiangnan's expression didn't look good at this moment either.

Shen Xi grew impatient and said, "I can't afford it, I can't do it."

Gu Xiangnan pressed down on Shen Xi's arms, saying, "Xiao Xi, look at me, take a deep breath, don't mind anything else, just focus on me. Come on, slowly retract your pheromones, just like you used to, don't be afraid."

Shen Xi tried to calm himself down, but the restlessness brought by his heightened sensitivity overwhelmed him. He couldn't maintain the same level of composure as before. He pushed Gu Xiangnan away, took a few steps back, and suppressed his emotions as he said, "Can you, please, help me find Chao Ning?"

Gu Xiangnan was puzzled, "Chao Ning?"

Shen Xi knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy. He gasped for breath, his lips twitching. "Yes, I need his pheromones," he said.

Now it was Gu Xiangnan's turn for her pupils to tremble.
