Chapter 200: Only Your Wolf Dog
The two quickly turned Leng Xiao's head to face Yun Li.
At the sight of Yun Li, Leng Xiao instantly went silent, like a duck being pinched by the neck.
"Why aren't you talking anymore? I have poor judgment and I'm also lustful, so that's why I took a fancy to a moody Snake Beastman like Ke Si?"
Although Yun Li was smiling when she said these words, the two males glanced at Leng Xiao and both moved away from him in unison.
They had a feeling that if they spoke up for Leng Xiao at this moment, his female would look over at them with an icy gaze.
"A Li."
Watching his female approach with a smile on her face, Leng Xiao—who knew full well what kind of temperament his bedmate had—immediately grew nervous. From the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at the two beastmen not far away, trying to signal them to bail him out.
Otherwise, once they got home, he would absolutely be ordered by his female to stay in beast form all day and act as the family's wolf dog.
He had no objection to being his female's wolf dog, but being the whole family's wolf dog—he could already imagine what his brother and Ji Xuan and the others would make him do, not to mention the already very mischievous cubs at home.
However, the two beastmen's eyes remained fixed on the female who looked beautiful even when angry, and they completely failed to notice Leng Xiao signaling them.
"Show your ears!"
And so, by the time Yun Li reached Leng Xiao, this comical scene unfolded.
The female ordered the male in a commanding tone to show his wolf ears, and though the male had thick skin, he still wanted to save face in front of his friends, stammering as he tried to say something to his female—only to have her grab his ears directly.
"My words don't work on you anymore, is that it?"
Yun Li was furious inside. If she hadn't been clearly aware that when it came to the matter of Ke Si, she was actually the one in the wrong, she probably wouldn't have been able to speak to him properly—after all, he had just walked off and left her alone as a beastman.
She was so mad!!!
Whose female gets ditched by her male in front of so many people? As far as Yun Li knew, she was the only one.
So besides anger, Yun Li also felt a bit wronged.
"No, it's all my fault. Don't be angry—here, my ears are yours to pull."
Seeing his two friends become unreliable at the critical moment, Leng Xiao was afraid Yun Li would make herself ill with anger. As he spoke, he revealed his wolf ears, bending his knees and stooping to take the female's hand and place it beside his ear.
"Pull my ears all you want, A Li, don't be angry anymore. It was my fault earlier."
Yun Li grabbed his ear without hesitation. "Good that you know. Now come home with me."
She was going home to settle today's score with him, otherwise she wouldn't be able to focus on anything else for days.
"Good, good, good, let's go home. But A Li, go easy, easy—ow, ow, ow, it hurts!"
Leng Xiao was led by his wolf ear by his female as they walked out of the Market, and all along the way he felt people looking their direction. Even though he was mentally prepared when letting his female pull his wolf ear, being seen by so many beastmen still made him feel a wave of shame.
Yun Li snorted, but ultimately saved him face on this occasion. Hearing him say it hurt, she let go.
However, she forgot at this moment that Leng Xiao was exactly the kind of beastman who would "take ten steps forward when you take one step back." The moment his female softened, he immediately leaned in close to Yun Li with a smile, holding her and refusing to let go.
"I knew A Li would feel bad for me. When you came over just now, I almost thought you were going to make me be your wolf dog again."
Yun Li:... If he hadn't said that, she would've almost forgotten how fun it was to make him shift into beast form and follow her around like a wolf dog, kneading and rubbing him. Not only was it fun, it was also incredibly stress-relieving and entertaining.
"You're right. When we get home today, you'll shift back into beast form and be my wolf dog for the day. You can shift back when I'm no longer angry."
The smile on Leng Xiao's face instantly froze, but he quickly smiled again, pressing his face against his female's and saying in a low voice, "Then I'll only be your wolf dog, just for you, A Li—okay?"
He was using his looks to seduce her again.
Yun Li silently despised her Beast Husband's double standards—he had clearly gotten his position through his looks and body, yet once he became her official Beast Husband, he started looking down on other males who used their looks to tempt her.
Only, she was indeed a person swayed by such things. Hit by his beauty like this, the heart she could never harden against him softened once more.
She pushed his face away, her tone carrying a hint of a scoff. "Besides being my wolf dog, whose wolf dog do you want to be?"
The smile on Leng Xiao's face grew even wider. He lowered his voice and said by Yun Li's ear, "Mm, only your wolf dog."
Yun Li felt herself being flirted with. Her face grew a little warm, but fortunately she wasn't the type to blush easily. Even if she was a bit shy, her Beast Husband wouldn't be able to see through her at a glance—otherwise he really would have her completely in his hands.
"Let's go home. We need to have a proper talk about the matter with Ke Si."
When Leng Xiao heard his female bring up this topic again at such a moment, a flicker of anger passed through his heart, but he didn't show it. Instead, he stopped in his tracks, held his female tight, and suddenly started nuzzling her neck vigorously, saying:
"Aren't you supposed to spend time with me today? You still want to talk about other males at a time like this?"
Yun Li simply wanted to clear things up early and resolve it early, not wanting to let the problem drag on to an unmanageable point before considering how to salvage it.
But Leng Xiao wasn't wrong either. Today she not only had things to investigate, but also wanted to accompany him to properly explore the Market to make it up to him. If they hadn't run into Ke Si, all of this would have proceeded smoothly.
Thinking of this, she sighed. "I understand. Then let's wait until we get home and the whole family is together to discuss this."
Seeing Leng Xiao put on a smiling yet unhappy expression, Yun Li had no choice but to tell him what she had said to Ke Si earlier, despite her headache.
"No matter how resistant you are, this matter will need to be resolved someday. I don't know what Ke Si is thinking right now, but I hope you and A Xiu can, for my sake, properly reconsider the matter of Ke Si forming a Mate Bond with me.
Even if you want us to truly cut ties, we still need to think together about how to minimize the negative impact of this matter—at the very least, it must not affect the alliance between the two Tribes."
A hint of darkness flickered in Leng Xiao's eyes. "You only said that you'd cut things off with him if we wanted you to. But what about you? What do you yourself think?"
"Do you really want me to tell you the truth?"
Yun Li asked him in return, then said as if remembering something, "If you want to hear the truth, I'll tell you when we get back. I'm afraid you won't be happy if I say it now.
As for right now, come with me to look into who's selling the workshop's crafts at the Market."
Hearing her deliberately change the subject like this, Leng Xiao suddenly let out a low hum of unclear meaning.
Did she truly like that Ke Si? Or, just as she had taken a fancy to Ji Xuan's status and position in the Silver Eagle Tribe, had she now taken a fancy to Ke Si's special position in the Youbuluo?
