“Beta.”
The mention of “beta” instantly charged the atmosphere with ambiguity. The alphas present burst into knowing laughter.
Yin Xishu remarked with veiled meaning, “The Empire’s protective measures for betas aren’t as thorough as those for omegas. No need to feel sorry if they break.”
“After Xu Sidu’s differentiation results came out, his engagement with the Bai family was called off.” One of them lewdly rubbed his lower abdomen and continued, “As friends, we ought to. comfort him.”
“Who knows? Maybe one of us would be kind enough to take him home as a beta.”
“Exactly. The disability rate among betas these days is so high. If he’s lucky enough to become one of ours, at least he won’t be crippled our bondage techniques aren’t sloppy enough to snap limbs.”
“Honestly, given our history, if Xu Sidu begged me, I might just take him for a spin.”
Omegas were far too fragile; few alphas dared to indulge their darker whims on such precious beings. So, all their depravity and desire for control were directed toward the more resilient betas.
After all, betas were tough and plentiful expendable.
The likelihood of betas being violated far exceeded that of omegas, yet the Empire still hadn’t enacted any protective legislation for them.
Statistics showed that after entering alpha-omega households, betas faced a staggering 46% disability rate. Nevertheless, many families willingly sent their beta children to higher-status households, paving smoother paths for their alpha or omega siblings.
“Imagine the illustrious Young Master Xu, forced to call some omega, inferior in both lineage and looks, ‘Master’ with complete submission.”
“What if the omega in his future household is wildly jealous? Take Ou Qi, for example, he keeps his beta perpetually pregnant, who knows how many rounds it’s been, just to keep his alpha from touching the beta.”
“Plenty of cases like that. If a beta is plain-looking, life’s easier. But if they’re even slightly attractive, they’ll suffer an omega’s envy. Best not to interferebetas die all the time, but an omega’s tears? Now that’s a hassle to soothe.”
“He used to be his father’s favorite, looking down on all of us at the base. Now? Begging on his knees for an alpha to go easy during rut, pleading not to be ruined. Living at the mercy of alphas and omegas Young Master Xu would lose his mind.”
The man closed his eyes, indulging in the fantasy of Xu Sidu crawling pitifully, begging for kindness. Just the thought alone was exhilarating.
A week ago, Xu Sidu had trained alongside them. The gap in their status had made him and Pei Ningyu untouchable figures at the base. Now, the idea of someone like that kneeling before them.
Pure ecstasy.
A dark wish simmered in their hearts: If only Pei Ningyu had turned out to be a beta too.
Pei Ningyu possessed a dangerously alluring beauty, his lips perpetually curled in a faint smirk whenever he deigned to look at someone, drawing unwitting gazes toward the frosty depths of his eyes.
He most often wore military uniforms, his slender yet rigid frame impeccably straight, every button fastened meticulously to the top. His black boots encased his calves entirely, a testament to the strict discipline he’d undergone in matters of dress etiquette.
That untouchable demeanor.
Especially the way Pei Ningyu looked at them scrutinizing, mocking, disdainful.
Every time his dark, shadowed eyes pierced through them, sharp as a blade, it felt as though he could see straight into their very souls.
Disgusting.
And terrifying.
Revolting!
If Pei Ningyu were to present as a beta and lose his status, would they finally get their chance to toy with him as they pleased.?
The thought had crossed everyone’s mind. Yet in Pei Ningyu’s presence, they all maintained flawless composure, offering obsequious smiles as they eagerly tried to pique his interest in Xu Sidu.
“Sidu’s learning ability is so strong , who knows, maybe he’s already studying how to serve his future alpha. Tell me, how many minutes would it take for him to cry and roll his eyes when he’s on his knees for me.?”
The alphas’ minds wandered: “During close combat training, Sidu’s legs were so powerful. Soon enough, they’ll only be wrapped around an alpha’s waist. Betas are meant for frequent breeding between alphas and omegas… I wonder if they’ll even fit anymore, hahaha.”
Xu Sid.
At the mention of the name, Pei Ningyu’s mind conjured the image of the Xu family’s eldest son proper, disciplined, and impeccably polite.
In the training base, the two of them were hardly acquainted.
Their interactions never went beyond a nod in passing.
The reason Pei Ningyu recognized Xu Sidu so quickly was because, not long ago, the latter had organized a fundraiser for the Fourth Star System after a devastating insectoid invasion. Pei Xu had even used it as a lesson over dinner, holding Xu Sidu up as a paragon of diligence while painting Pei Ningyu as the epitome of idleness.
If he had even half of Xu Sidu’s obedience and ambition, perhaps Pei Xu wouldn’t be so exasperated with him.
Xu Sidu was one of the few nobles who didn’t discriminate against commoners. With his refined manners, academic excellence, and innate talent, he enjoyed an impeccable reputation in the base especially among the commoners, who revered him.
Pei Ningyu: “Summon him to the base.”
Pei Ningyu found the sight of that drugged beta in the club repulsive. But the idea of watching Xu Sidu once his equal reduced to a lust-driven, humiliated beta? That piqued his interest.
Kicking someone when they were down had never appealed to him. But if it was Xu Sidu, A man like Xu Sidu, so refined and gentlemanly, Pei Ningyu was genuinely curious about how he’d behave in bed.
Yin Xishu was indeed more perceptive than Gu Shize, full of wicked ideas that never failed to intrigue him.
Now, Pei Ningyu found himself subtly swayed by Yin Xishu’s persuasion.
A trace of excitement seeped into Pei Ningyu’s voice: “It’s been a while since I last saw him.”
Someone like Xu Sidu born into privilege, top of his class, a model of propriety, cherished by his elders breaking such a man’s spirit would be an exquisite delight.
Making Xu Sidu realize that he was no different from that beta in the club, reduced to their plaything now that was something worth pursuing.
