Socially Anxious Girl Starts Hoarding Before the Apocalypse - Chapter 168: Spring Thunder

The Last Touched is a haunting fantasy of bloodlines, broken fate, and the perilous cost of power.Elsbeth MoonChild is the last of the touched—the final descendant of a cursed lineage bound to the flame. As Alpha of the shattered 12th pack, she bears the ruin left by her father’s crime: the murder of the queen. Branded by his betrayal, hunted by her former chosen mate, and driven into exile with the last of her people, Elsbeth has one desperate path forward—to survive, she must stake her claim in the Rite of Queens, an ancient trial that demands strength, sacrifice, and the will to rule.But the Rite does more than test her body and mind. It pulls her backward in time, submerging her into the forgotten life of her ancestor—the first queen. As memories bleed into dreams and dreams into waking, Elsbeth begins to unravel a long-buried truth: the flame in her blood is not just magic. It is a weapon. A curse. A gift once traded in blood and sacrifice to end an age of chaos.And she is not the only one who carries it.Julia, her estranged sister—exiled, fire-born, and half-mad with hunger—is no hybrid. She is the living echo of the power their bloodline tried to bury. Ruthless, charismatic, and driven by the belief that the throne was stolen from her, Julia is building a gospel of grievance and flame. Her army grows in the shadows, fed by secrets and stolen children. And with each ritual, the ancient seal weakens, waking something that was never meant to rise again.Torn between duty and desire, Elsbeth clings to the one thing that keeps her tethered—Fen, her true mate, a being older than he appears, hiding a divine truth of his own. Their bond runs deeper than fate, but it terrifies her. To surrender to it would mean choosing love over the kingdom. And if she falls too far, the flame inside her might burn her from within… just as it did her father.As old gods stir and the fire in her blood begins to answer the call of something watching from beneath the ice, Elsbeth must decide: will she become the queen her people need? Or the weapon her blood was meant to wield?

Su Yu, a descendant of a royal chef, entered a novel of the immortal world. She became a second senior sister who took over a mountain full of wounded and disabled from her missing senior brother.

According to the original plot, her third junior brother’s golden core was broken. Her fourth junior brother gets into trouble. His fifth junior brother was deceived… In short, they are dead, become casualties, or are injured.

Su Yu: Ah, this… our division seems to be over.

Looking at a group of skinny, weak, or disabled juniors, Su Yu, who wanted to retire: What kind of immortals are cultivating and fighting? Come and help me cook! Peace is a blessing!

However, when she researched the ingredients in this world of cultivating immortals and decided to make a pot of delicious vegetables… the spiritual energy in the wok was great and the fragrance spread, but there was a faint circle of energy, which turned into super-quality spiritual pill that could repair broken meridians lying on the bottom of the wok.

Su Yu: !

The seriously wounded and waiting to die juniors: !

Master Su didn’t believe in failure. When she was preparing to make a lotus leaf roasted rib, oil dripped and the aroma was overflowing. But at the bottom, there was a faint gleam of light accompanied a two-foot-long spirit sword, unparalleled in sword energy and a rare treasure once in a century.

Junior brother who gave up cultivation because of lack of spirit sword: !

Looking at the pots and pans full of spiritual pills and spiritual treasures piled up in her small kitchen, Su Yu frowned.

You may not believe it, but I just want to make a dish.

Yu Jiu is a beta, good looking, good at learning basketball and playing well, even better than Alpha in fights, he is recognized as an outlier in school.
Nobody knew he was actually an omega.
Later, another alien was transferred to the school.
Zhai Chi is the bamboo horse Yu Jiu hasn’t seen in five years. He is an Alpha. He is kind and funny. He never releases pheromones to others. He is so gentle that he doesn’t look like an Alpha. With his face, he quickly becomes the dream love of all the omega in Yizhong!
Due to physical reasons, Yu Jiu rejected all Alpha pheromones, especially Zhai Chi, so he decided to keep a distance from his bamboo horse.
However, not long after, Zhai Chi transferred to his class and asked to sit at the same table with him: “I’m new here, and you are my only friend.”
Yu Jiu: He’s so pitiful…he’s just sitting at the same table, he won’t get pheromones!
Going back to the dormitory at night, Zhai Chi has already made a bed in his dormitory: “I’m going back to China alone, and I don’t know the place where I live. If you don’t take me in, I’m going to sleep on the street.”
Yu Jiu: It’s not easy for him…same bed and different bed, it won’t affect.
Once when Yu Jiu fought with someone outside the school, Zhai Chi’s legs went limp when he saw the blood: “It’s too cruel, too bloody, I’ve never seen such a violent scene!”
Yu Jiu: He’s really weak…I want to protect him!
Until later, Yu Jiu was suppressed by a group of Alphas with pheromones, and Zhai Chi overwhelmed all the Alphas in less than ten seconds.
Yu Jiu: …
Later, when Yu Jiu had an unexpected fever, he broke the can and threw the dead horse into a living horse doctor, so Zhai Chi, who had never released pheromones, made a temporary mark on him.
Yu Jiu: Alpha is indeed Alpha, and it is still useful at critical moments.
He wanted to slip away afterwards, but at this moment the Alpha who had just tagged him grabbed his waist, looked at him eagerly and said, “Are you going to abandon me all the time?”
Yu Jiu: “…”
