Qin Yi had already changed his appearance back to that of a youth. Now that he had money, he could even change his race if he wished.
But he was stingy. It wasn’t necessary to change his race.
Renting a temporary husband was currently the cheapest option.
But they didn’t allow renting here.
Qin Yi sighed lightly before he slowly turned around and entered the next alley.
He was no longer at the heart of the Capital Star but in a highly remote city instead. Even if this city was right under the feet of the royal family, there would still be some slums as it was on the outskirts of the Star.
And underground activities tended to flourish in the vicinity of these slums.
What Qin Yi was looking for was this exact kind of underground business.
After passing through three consecutive alleys, the male Beta in front of him scanned him up and down before asking, “Do you have any specific requirements?”
Qin Yi thought about it for a moment, “They mustn’t be too ugly, and it’s best if they’re an Alpha without any bad habits.”
“Alpha? That may be a little more expensive
 but perhaps every Alpha would be willing to be temporarily rented after seeing you.”
Qin Yi didn’t respond to his remark. The male Beta also awkwardly shut up.
He quickly took Qin Yi to pick out a suitable person, a D-ranked hunk who had good features.
The hunk followed Qin Yi onto the spacecraft he had temporarily rented. He regarded Qin Yi as a noble on the Capital Star and treated him very respectfully.
“What’s your name?” Qin Yi asked.
The hunk looked at him. The youth looked pretty young and calling him ‘mister’ would make him seem too mature. Hence, the hunk paused for a moment before opening his mouth to say, “Sir, my name is Russell.”
Qin Yi: ?
He couldn’t remember it at all.
“How about I call you No. 1 in the future?”
“Alright, sir. It’s up to you.”
Qin Yi feigned carelessness and casually showed his mech. Although the hunk was an Alpha, he was too poor. He had gotten lucky once and entered the military academy but was expelled due to a fight with an Alpha nobility.
He wasn’t rich enough to buy himself a mech.
However, the youth in front of him could afford such an excellent mech. This made him even more convinced that the youth was nobility.
Qin Yi took in the hunk’s expression quietly. After making sure that the other party was completely stunned, he started a new round of cross-dressing——
The hunk stared in bewilderment as he watched the youth bind a piece of fake skin to his waist before stuffing some cotton down there.
In the next moment, the cotton puffed out, pushing the fake skin out and making it bulge a little. This created a sharp contrast when compared to the youth’s tall, slender figure and his thin waist.
The youth looked down and scrutinized it for half a minute before putting on a long white robe with satisfaction. The long robe made him look even more slender. Even if he was just simply standing in one spot, he gave off an elegant and calm feeling.
When he turned around, there was already an additional mask on his face.
His mask was made up of colorful gemstones instead of the trendy punk-style metallic masks widely worn nowadays. The dazzling gemstones didn’t overshadow him; on the contrary, they made his eyes shine.
Half of his face was hidden beneath the gemstones, making him look mysterious and sacred at the same time.
It was as though he was a cleric possessing unrivaled power.
At that moment, he heard the youth say with a composed voice, “After this, my identity will be your pregnant Omega wife. Have you kept that in mind?”
The hunk’s mouth opened, his back unconsciously slouching. His head drooped.
He wanted to say, ‘I don’t seem to be worthy of you’.
Qin Yi quickly walked to the flight operation console after he finished explaining their identities. “Alright, it’s about time for us to depart.”
His facial features had an air of immaturity while his figure was slender. But as the hunk lowered his gaze and watched as Qin Yi maneuvered his hands swiftly across the control panel, a feeling of conviction towards the strong instinctively arose within him quickly.
Just like that, the spacecraft continued its journey until it reached the port.
And throughout the entire journey, the hunk didn’t have a single doubt about Qin Yi’s true gender.
“It seems that
 a patrol has been enforced in front,” the hunk said, stunned.
Qin Yi stood up and nodded, “Mn.”
He turned and said, “Show me your fiercest look.”
That was the strangest request the hunk had ever heard. He considered himself someone who looked pretty fierce. It was the reason why he had gotten socked in the face by his noble classmate when attending the military academy. The classmate questioned him back then, “How dare a lowlife like you look at me with such fierce eyes.”
But the hunk still did as he was told. His eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth were curled slightly upwards, his expression so savage that it resembled a deranged serial killer.
“Good.” Qin Yi patted his shoulder lightly. “If you are questioned later, just say that you don’t want anyone seeing your wife.”
The hunk nodded.
At that moment, the spacecraft ahead of theirs had already passed and it was their turn to undergo inspection at the checkpoint now.
The hunk quickly opened the cabin door and blocked the view inside with his towering stature.
“Is there a problem?” He asked.
The patrol officer outside was taken aback by him and for a moment, he found it difficult to speak, “We are currently conducting
 an investigation
 to find a missing person
”
“Oh.”
The patrol officer choked even more on his words due to the hunk’s cold attitude and was unable to continue speaking for a moment.
Hence, he tried to look into the spacecraft instead, “May I ask if the people inside
”
“An Omega. He’s my pregnant wife, do you want to have a look?”
“No
 it’s okay, of course not. You can go.” The officer said, cold sweat dripping down his face.
In the Limu Empire, powerful Alphas often exhibit severe chauvinism. They wouldn’t allow others to freely size up their Omegas, which might lead to serious brawls at times.
Therefore, the patrol officer didn’t find anything strange about the Alpha’s behavior. He finally let them pass to avoid a confrontation.
The instant the cabin door closed, he faintly caught sight of a figure. The figure indeed had a large belly.

Perhaps he should consider going to the hospital sooner to have the baby taken out.
As the officer thought about this, he completely let go of any lingering doubts he had.
His colleague who was nearby walked over and asked with a distressed face, “Have you encountered anything unusual?”
“No.”
“Same here
 but how do we address this? This impromptu search was personally ordered by the crown prince.”
The officer couldn’t help but ask, “Who exactly is this missing person?”
His colleague also frowned in confusion, “I’m not quite sure
 or rather, it’s hard to put a description to it
 because when the higher-ups issued the order, they mentioned that we may come across either a female Beta or a male Omega
 who would know what was really going on?”
At that moment, news of the unexpected explosion that took place in the palace of the Limu Empire made it to the front headlines of newspapers. Everyone was extremely bewildered.
They could most probably relate to how the neighbors living near the Zhou family’s residence in the Yanhuang Empire felt when they witnessed them1The Zhou family change their protective shield to pink.2In Chapter 4
On the other hand, the crown prince wasn’t particularly concerned about what the outside world was discussing. Along with Lu Ji and Zhou Yiqing, the three of them sat in a triangular formation in another palace.
The emperor stood outside the door in silence before finally instructing the attendant, “After a while, activate all the palace’s defenses.”
In the palace.
Lu Ji said confidently, “He’s no longer in the Capital Star.”
Zhou Yiqing nodded lightly, showing his agreement, “Mn, I’ve previously suggested to the crown prince to directly order them to impose a complete blockade on the Capital Star
”
Halls pursed his lips tightly and replied, “He couldn’t have been that fast.”
After all, he wasn’t a lovestruck idiot and naturally wouldn’t consider implementing a complete blockade just for one person.
Lu Ji scoffed lightly, “It seems that His Highness Halls doesn’t understand him at all.”
Halls wanted to argue back but realized he indeed had no way of refuting this statement.
The atmosphere in the palace instantly turned tense once more. However, everyone managed to keep their composure and didn’t resort to violence or blowing up the palace again.
Lu Ji also wasn’t here just to anger Halls. He kept his face neutral and asked, “Before Qin Yi left, Your Highness didn’t use the medical cabin to restore your appearance, right?”
Halls’ gaze lowered, “Mn.”
Halls felt unusually worried.
Kilia, no, Qin Yi ran away.
And he was even an Omega

Omega.
He had never liked Omegas but unfortunately, Qin Yi happened to be one.
Halls suddenly remembered that the true heir of Meili Bank, Little Gladstone, was also an Alpha, wasn’t he? What would happen if Qin Yi were to encounter him?
What would happen if an AO3Alpha-Omega pair were to meet? What else could happen?
In less than three minutes, Halls’ thoughts had already flown to marriage.
On the other end, Lu Ji’s gaze sharpened, “So we can say that Your Highness’ current face right now is a complete stranger to Qin Yi and your true identity is also unknown to him. You might be the only person here who can catch him off guard
 Perhaps we can devise a new plan.”
At this moment, Zhou Yiqing’s low voice suddenly rang out and he said, “I’m a little curious now as to how Qin Yi will escape from under our noses this time.”
Will he continue using the name ‘Kilia’? Or will he continue disguising himself as a female Beta? Lu Ji was deep in thought too.
Halls was the only one who stood up before ordering, “Kidnap Little Gladstone and bring him here.”
The attendant below: ?
Seven days later.
Little Gladstone had been captured and bound in the palace for six days already, but his cries and pleas to heaven and earth4To be completely helpless fell on deaf ears.
As of now, the nobles of the Limu Empire had already heard rumors that the crown prince was enamored by a Beta woman, and for this, he had kidnapped his love rival who was Little Gladstone

Meanwhile, Qin Yi had just departed from Limu before shortly encountering a fleet.
The fleet flew a flag bearing a skull symbol.
It was obvious that this was a pirate crew.
In one of the spacecraft within the fleet, a middle-aged man with one eye covered dressed in a traditional pirate attire was communicating with someone.
There was an old man with gray hair in the video who was speaking unhappily, “I spend so much money raising you every year not for you to be chased around and beaten by Lu Ji without a care in the world.”
The one-eyed man was unable to maintain his composure, but dared not argue with the old man and could only respond awkwardly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way to handle the tasks you’ve assigned to me
”
The old man scoffed coldly before finally saying, “Alright, I need Zhou Yiqing’s fiancĂ© to be found and kidnapped.”
The one-eyed man: “But
”
“But what?”
The one-eyed man: “Even General Zhou couldn’t find them, so how can I?”
The old man: “
Useless!”
You can’t even be a scoundrel properly!
However, the one-eyed man quickly reassured him, “Rest assured. Recently, I found a very capable military advisor. He will help us figure out how to find General Zhou’s fiancĂ©.”
At this moment, someone shouted in excitement, “Boss! Boss, there’s a small spacecraft ahead of us, should we capture it?”
The one-eyed man retorted, “What are pirates for? Would you give up on robbing someone just because they have less money?”
His subordinates suddenly felt as if they’d been blessed and rushed to capture the spacecraft.  Little did they know that the spacecraft they had just captured was Qin Yi’s spacecraft.
Qin Yi didn’t mind traveling with pirates, as he had experienced such things before after all.
Very well. He’ll just treat himself as a weak, pitiful, and helpless captive who had been captured by pirates!
Qin Yi calmly boarded the pirate’s spacecraft but the Alpha beside him suddenly felt as though he was facing a major threat!
The pirates brought him to the one-eyed man.
The one-eyed man stared at Qin Yi, his eyes lighting up, “Are you an Omega or a Beta? You’re really good-looking
” He circled around Qin Yi as he spoke.
Qin Yi’s figure didn’t falter the slightest bit. He blinked gently, his eyes beginning to water before he began to ramble with a pitiful and innocent expression, “I’m already married, and even pregnant. What do you want to do to me?”
Only when the one-eyed man heard the word ‘pregnant’ did his gaze lowered, and he was suddenly a lot less interested in Qin Yi.
But right then, a burst of laughter suddenly interrupted the conversation.
“Ha. It’s only been 10 days since we last met and you’ve already completed all the steps, from marriage to pregnancy? Kilia.”
A young man walked out slowly. He had exquisite features and was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which gave off an air of restraint and courteousness.
Qin Yi: “
”
Ah. It was truly a calamity that lasted for thousands of years.5Trouble that spanned over generations, implying that it had been a long time since the subject had caused trouble for them
Wasn’t this trouble6è‹Šäž» actually means victim, which implies that Zheng Yi’an was a victim of Qin Yi’s orchestrations, and this sentence basically means that Qin Yi is now facing the consequences of those actions as the afflicted party has come to find him himself who had come knocking at the door?
Qin Yi still remained unfazed. He looked up and met Zheng Yi’an’s scrutinizing gaze, which appeared calm but in fact, a turbulent undercurrent was concealed within.
Qin Yi started, “It’s you
”
Zheng Yi’an was stunned. He didn’t expect Kilia to openly acknowledge their relationship. Was Kilia not afraid that he would retaliate?
“I didn’t think that you would still be able to find me after I’ve run all the way here,” Qin Yi said weakly.
Hm? Is this him admitting defeat? This thought crossed Zheng Yi’an’s mind, but he quickly ruled out the idea.
Qin Yi: “It’s not possible between us
” He blinked, then dropped a bomb, “I’m your mother.”
The one-eyed man: ???
The other pirates: !!!
