Chapter 120: Shut Up, You

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Shut Up, You

"Host, this is another Yellow Rank Male. He’s incredibly strong. Having a litter of cubs with him will earn you a lot of Points."

The system’s voice sounded in her head.

’Shut your mouth!’

’This isn’t like the beginning when I had no other choice. I have two Beast Husbands with powerful Talents, and I’ve already had a litter of cubs with Xin Feng. I haven’t even been with Zhu Xiu yet!’

She threw herself backward, trying to create some distance and snap Yan Lie out of it.

But no matter how far she leaned back, Yan Lie held her waist in a vice grip, pressing his body against hers.

She was bent back at nearly a right angle.

Bai Wanwan was beyond frustrated. To relieve herself, she had specifically looked for a path away from the main streets. Any farther and she’d be outside the tribe’s territory.

At this time of day, the males were all out hunting in the mountains, and the females rarely came this way.

There was no one around to hear her cry for help!

RRRRIP...

After fumbling for a moment, an impatient Yan Lie gave up on her belt and simply ripped her dress.

’Damn you, Yan Lie! This is the dress I spent dozens of Points on!’

His searing palm pressed against the bare skin of her waist, sending a shiver through her.

"Ngh..."

She was completely under his control. A part of her was angry, but she also knew that in this state, Yan Lie had no control over his actions.

’Back then, Chou Rong had despised the original owner of this body, but hadn’t he still ended up sleeping with her in the grass after he lost consciousness?’

Her clothes were peeled away like an onion. The male had lost all reason, and his hands were rough and careless.

Just when she felt there was no escape, the weight on top of her suddenly vanished.

She hastily pulled her clothes together and looked up to see a long Snake Tail wrapped around Yan Lie, dragging him away.

The King Cobra’s scarlet eyes were filled with an icy chill, like the calm before a storm.

Bai Wanwan’s heart sank. ’This is a disaster.’

She quickly rushed to explain to Zhu Xiu, "Zhu Xiu, don’t misunderstand! He didn’t do it on purpose."

Bai Wanwan tried to explain further, but Zhu Xiu wasn’t listening at all. He simply left, dragging Yan Lie with him.

Bai Wanwan took a few steps in pursuit, but they quickly vanished from sight.

’What am I going to do? Zhu Xiu wouldn’t kill Yan Lie while he’s out of control, would he?’

’Yan Lie was clearly drugged, and he’s helped me so many times.’ ’I don’t want him to lose his life over this.’

At that thought, she spun around and ran for home.

’I don’t know if Xin Feng is back yet. Right now, sending Xin Feng after them is the only way to save Yan Lie.’

*******

Zhu Xiu’s eyes were a blazing scarlet as he stared at the male caught in his coils.

All he had to do was tighten his grip, and the leopard would quickly suffocate.

The drug’s effects made it impossible for Yan Lie to properly perceive his surroundings; his face was just flushed red and taut with discomfort.

But slowly, the color began to drain from his face, which then started turning blue...

The urge to kill Yan Lie grew stronger. With just a little more force, he would be a dead leopard.

But then, Xin Feng’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

The Dark Curse could devour his reason at any moment, and Wanwan only had one other male, Xin Feng, by her side.

The scarlet light in his eyes flickered relentlessly. Finally, with a whip of his long tail, he threw Yan Lie into the river.

Yan Lie had no idea he had just brushed with death.

He felt a fire raging inside his body.

"Wanwan..."

Zhu Xiu was fighting to suppress his murderous intent when he suddenly heard Yan Lie call out Wanwan’s name.

His killing intent erupted once more, and the long Snake Tail slammed down on him again.

The sharp pain snapped Yan Lie to his senses. He let out a muffled grunt, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and tilted his head up to look at the King Cobra on the bank.

"It’s you!"

He recognized this male. He was one of Wanwan’s Beast Husbands.

From observation, he knew this was an extremely powerful male.

Enduring the discomfort in his body, Yan Lie gritted his teeth and decided to lay his cards on the table. "I have feelings for Wanwan. I want to become her Beast Husband and protect her alongside you."

"She doesn’t need your protection. If I hadn’t returned just now, you would have been the one harming Wanwan, forcing yourself on her. How do you call that protection?"

Zhu Xiu’s eyes were cold, and his tone was even colder.

He despised any male who got close to Wanwan, but because of his own condition, he had to forcibly suppress his murderous urge toward him.

"Just now... was that really Wanwan?"

Because his memory hadn’t been erased by a system, he wasn’t like Chou Rong, who remembered nothing.

He remembered the entire process; he just couldn’t believe it had really happened.

He had really held Wanwan. Her lips were so sweet and soft, and her snow-white body...

Every sensation from the encounter replayed clearly in his mind.

Yan Lie’s cheeks flushed crimson, and his breathing grew ragged.

"Someone drugged me with thorn flower. I didn’t mean to hurt Wanwan. I’ll go find her right now and explain everything."

After taking that heavy blow, he could now just barely suppress the heat raging inside him.

He scrambled out of the river, heart pounding with excitement. He had to see Wanwan right away.

’We’ve already held each other and kissed.’

’From now on, I’ll take good care of Wanwan, and we’ll have our own litter of cubs.’

’I’ll definitely cherish the cubs Wanwan has for me more than that Wolf Beastman does.’

But just as he reached the bank, Zhu Xiu’s tail lashed out and sent him flying back in.

Zhu Xiu showed no mercy. If Yan Lie hadn’t been a male with an extremely powerful Talent, those two blows would have been enough to kill a male with a Low Rank Talent.

With a THUD, Yan Lie was smashed back into the river, where he swallowed two gulps of frigid water.

Then, with a SPIT, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

With that, Yan Lie finally recognized the intense hostility Zhu Xiu held toward him.

"You don’t want me to become Wanwan’s Beast Husband."

He stood up in the river again, his normally bright, smiling eyes now wary and solemn.

The King Cobra’s massive, towering head seemed to lift an eyelid in disdain, completely ignoring him.

Yan Lie spoke again. "It’s not your place to decide who Wanwan takes as a mate. I want to see Wanwan."

With that, he quickly transformed into his beast form, using his Talent Power to try and break through the King Cobra’s blockade.

But he was injured, after all. The moment he leaped into the air, the Snake Tail came for him as expected.

This time, he was prepared and managed to dodge the attack.

But Zhu Xiu’s next attack followed immediately.

The third time Yan Lie was smashed into the river, he was already seriously injured, and the suppressed thorn flower poison began to take effect again...

The King Cobra’s scarlet eyes watched him for a moment. Certain that he was now in no condition to find Wanwan, it finally swished its Snake Tail and left.

By this time, Bai Wanwan had returned home, but Xin Feng wasn’t there.

She was growing anxious. After going out to bring the cubs back inside, she paced back and forth restlessly.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before a sound finally came from the doorway.

She immediately ran outside and saw Xin Feng walking in.

"What’s wrong?" Xin Feng asked, sensing her distress.

Bai Wanwan rushed up and grabbed his arm. "Xin Feng, Zhu Xiu dragged Yan Lie away, and they’re still not back! Can you please go check on them for me?"
