You Don't Want the Money?

[The next book will be "Mad Dog". Its blurb is at the very bottom. If you like it, please add it to your favorites!]

Ling Ze was a gold ingot who had lived for a thousand years. At long last, he had developed consciousness, but just as he was about to take human form, some ungrateful people sent him to a goldsmith to be melted down.

Faced with the furnace before him, Ling Ze fell silent.

He was hesitating over whether to use magic to scare the shortsighted people unconscious and make his escape when a handsome man in a sharp suit took him home, completely unharmed.

Having narrowly escaped with his life and turned into a little cub, Ling Ze told the man:

"Congratulations, you are now my one and only devotee. As long as you serve me from now on, I will keep spitting out gold as your reward, so you can enjoy a life of wealth and luxury."

The man simply reached out, grabbed him by the scruff, and lifted him up. His tone was cool. "What a big claim."

Ling Ze kicked his legs. "How dare you!"

-

The man really did stand by his words. Even when Ling Ze spat out gold to tempt him, he still showed no interest.

Ling Ze: "You don't even want money?!"

After repeated attempts to test him came to nothing, Ling Ze gradually grew into the shape of a teenage boy. He looked at the man and snorted. Fine, if you don't want me, plenty of people will want this little treasure!

Feeling ignored, Ling Ze promptly ran away from home to find another devotee.

Jiang Chaosheng had bought the gold ingot intending to keep it as a souvenir. He never expected the souvenir to turn into a person and start ordering him around and speaking rudely to him.

He had to admit, this little thing was quite a handful.

But he never imagined that the little thing he had raised with so much care would run off with someone else as soon as he grew up, instead of repaying his kindness.

Jiang Chaosheng laughed in exasperation and went straight to grab the presumptuous little thing and bring him back.

Ling Ze looked indignant. "Weren't you uninterested? I'll go find someone else!"

The man lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Ling Ze's nonstop chattering mouth. He bent down and silenced him with a kiss, only lifting his head when he had kissed him to his heart's content. Possessiveness filled his eyes. "Now that you've found me, you're not allowed to find anyone else."

"The Strongest Beta on Earth"

In a single night, people living ordinary lives differentiated into ABO genders, which had previously existed only in novels. Pheromones, glands, heats, ruts, and a host of other unfamiliar terms began appearing in people's daily lives.

Scientists studied the phenomenon and called it human evolution.

Jiang Yan was the Alliance's finest and least well-liked Army colonel, yet he evolved into nothing but a useless beta!

The Alliance reshuffled its ranks, and Jiang Yan was cast out.

But the Alliance was not the only thing to be reshuffled.

The world order shifted unpredictably. The Defense Force, the Black Blade Assassins, the Bright Road, and others emerged one after another.

Conspiracies and open schemes took turns surfacing.

Human society was in turmoil.

By the time the Alliance's old guard finally realized how important Jiang Yan was, it was already too late.

After leaving the Alliance, Jiang Yan could punch the Defense Force, kick the Black Blade Assassins, and still go toe to toe with the Bright Road. He maintained the precarious balance single-handedly and was hailed as the strongest beta on Earth!
