The author needs to draw more smut, just to practice. :-) Not only did they censor the kiss, they even had them bang with their bikinis on, apparently, which I cannot imagine was especially comfortable (for Tang Chao, in particular).

I think tha's just your typical self-censorship.

As far as I can tell, the white circles are censorship for Bilibili and there should be an uncensored version available somewhere.

Chinese censored even a lewd story, wtfox?

Cucked by the censoring, and now cucked by th cliffhanger... Fuck a you author!
The kiss on her neck/gland was wholesome and hot though.
Still, thanks for the update!

Uhh, so I'm no expert on ABO stuff, but isn't marking in these stories usually something permanent? I recall it being super serious (more permanent than marriage), so Tang Chao suggesting it here in a casual way here is wild.

Depends on the story. This one hasn't specified yet (unless I've forgotten). Sometimes it is more permanent than marriage because you're marked for life, but not always (for example, in some stories the marking is temporary). Each story will normally specify these things through the narrative or other clues. I think someone said it's not much different than vampires. There's common vampire traits and rules. Some stories will follow the basics, others will have them sparkle.

It's either not permanent in this particular omegaverse, or Tang Chao is so down bad, she is pulling all stops. Or maybe her brain is still addled by the wild beach sex earlier, so she doesn't realize she's effectively just proposed to her.

Omegaverse is wild. When they talk about glands and stuff it feels like a scifi story.

Question at the ABO experts. Alphas can impregnate Omegas, right? Do Alphas always have a penis or how does it work in this universe? Wondering how the girl can just hide the bulge while wearing a bikini.

Depends on the story. It's not always specified because some of this stuff is implied and it can be assumed that the reader understands the basics. Plus it's just the background setup and not the focus.

Most stories won't put much emphasis on explaining this stuff. You'll figure it out through the normal pace of the story. In this story they already discussed it's "Two Test" system, one of which is to check for outside external sex organs (mentioned a few chapters ago).

So you can assume why that kind of test would be useful for differentiating between Alphas, Omegas and Betas and what that might say about whether this story maintains common Alpha traits.

As for the bulge thing (and to put it crudely) the idea is often that the female Alpha can present how they want to when needed, so no bulge or anything because nothing is there.

I see. Thank you for your insight!

While the ABO genre has been maligned by lots of folks for years as pointless and/or toxic smut (and, to be fair, a lot of it is), at its core, it is just a speculative fiction setting that, at its best, allows for an examination and even critique of sex and gender dynamics through a decidedly fantastic lens.

In other words, sci-fi.

Yeah there are some really good stories there. Like anything else, quality just depends on the writer and the specific story. Some people treat even the idea of it like the plague. I've never understood that intense reaction and the few times the aversion has been explained to me hasn't changed much.

In other words, sci-fi.

As long as sci-fi isn't being used as a pejorative, then sure.

Never. I actually do write sci-fi and fantasy stories in my spare time, I love the genre.

On the subject of sci-fi stories that make use of an alternative biology to explore sex and gender, have any of you folks read The Left Hand of Darkness?

Le Guin's writing has never hooked me, I am hesitant to admit, but I am familiar with the basic premise of the book. In the same vein (fantastic biology providing a lens to examine gender dynamics), there is Simoun.

I'll add that to the reading list. Thanks!

Is Tang Chao naked under that blanket? Also, lol, I love pink haired bestie's reactions to Zhu ci. She's too conscious/wary of her hahaha

Aight, this shit's on a roll now, and it's way too good.
Thanks for the translation!

I am strangely happy about how casual Tang Chao and Li Zhixu's relationship is at this point. Maybe it's just an ABO thing, but it's refreshing to see two single adults who spend a lot of time with and don't dislike each other just consensually bonk -- without front-loading the act with every last shred of emotional baggage, insecurity, and unrealistic expectations first.

Maxing up my phone's brightness to see if there's anything under that white censorship bubbles...

For this one specifically, there's an option for temporary marks. You can think of it as a bite that will fade/heal after a while vs. a bite that leaves a permanent scar.
Basically, bite hard enough to leave a mark but not hard enough to leave a scar and you get a temporary mark.

From what I've seen, "temporary marks" are somewhat common in the CN side of omegaverse stories.

zhu ci's packing..

Now she's just got to glaze it , fire it in a kiln then pop it in her bedroom somewhere, because it won't fit in a bedside drawer

I think if you're going to make a pottery scene you should commit to the disgusting dirty hands.

Curse the Chinese censorship!
On another note, I fucking love how their relationships are going so well.
Thanks for the update!

Silly censoring aside, every time I read stuff about ruts oder marking I imagine a bunch of dog girls.
