Chapter 72: The Ten Days Are Up

Ten days have arrived.

Thinking of this, Baini's eyes shone startlingly bright, "Sheng, let us bond today."

"..."

Had Baini not woken up yet? He was just spouting nonsense.

Every topic left Chaosheng speechless and helpless.

She had absolutely no idea how to respond.

"Be good, I do not need to become a Seventh-tier Beastman for the time being."

Chaosheng curled the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a reluctant smile, her purple gaze as shallow as water, clearly avoiding the question.

Little one, this question was too distant for her.

She was simply unwilling to think deeply about this matter.

"..." This time it was Baini's turn to look at her in silence, his gaze filled with resentment, as if staring at a heartless beast.

Forget it, if Sheng did not understand, then he would find a way.

Bonding?!

By the way, what did one need to do to bond?

He still had to go and consult other Beastmen.

After Chaosheng finished eating the fish, she saw Baini suddenly head out, and she let out a slow sigh of relief in her heart.

Phew, staying with Baini right now was truly too bizarre.

She gazed at the scenery outside the cave and suddenly thought of that Beastman she had forgotten.

Oh no! Zhuche!

Had she not asked Zhuche to come and deliver the Chunze Vine to her?

As it turned out, yesterday she encountered Baini's advancement and the matter of Baiqi Lianxun, and after returning, she was so tired she fell asleep.

She had completely forgotten about this.

Moreover, Zhuche had not looked for her last night; it must be because he was angry about her breaking her word.

What was she to do?

She wanted to go find Zhuche, but she had never been to Zhuche's nest; she had always stayed in Zhuche's space.

The space was ethereal and unfixed; she had no idea where to find him.

Forget it.

Chaosheng sighed silently in her heart; the results of Bao San and Guxian's first cleaning were quite good.

Even without using Zhuche's space to keep it fresh, the Chunze Vine this time should be fine.

However, she still had to go visit Guxian and Bao San now.

The agreed-upon time had arrived.

Guxian and Xiaodu's dwelling was very crude, just a temporary reef cave.

It was as if they were prepared to abandon this cave at any moment, and in fact, that was indeed the case.

Guxian was bored and used a bright red tentacle to fiercely strangle a small, brightly colored fish to death.

The emotion in his red eyes was faint; truly an eyesore.

Actually, he had gone to look for Chaosheng yesterday, but unfortunately, there was not a single Beastman in the cave.

He waited for a long time to no avail and could only return first.

Then, during the night, he heard many passing Female Beastmen talking about the major event that had just happened during the day.

"We have a Seventh-tier Beastman in the Polar Sea?"

"It is Baini; we have long known he had high talent and was powerful, but I did not expect him to actually reach the Seventh Tier."

"Indeed, I did not even know he was a Sixth Tier, and now he is already a Seventh Tier?"

"That is for sure... do you think this could be a lie?"

"Ah! That is unlikely, why would they lie to us? Even if Baini were just a Fifth-tier Beastman, he would still be a rare powerhouse in the Polar Sea."

"Sigh! If this news is true, then that sinful female is truly lucky, capturing both of our strongest Male Beastmen in one fell swoop."

"And I heard that the king of that Mermaid's own tribe is only Seventh Tier."

"A female who could not climb up to a Seventh-tier Beastman in her own tribe, yet as soon as she comes here, she hooks the strongest Beastman."

The sour words of the females drilled into Guxian's ears; his beautiful, jade-like face was gloomy, his red eyes like blood, harboring a trace of jealousy.

Seventh Tier, what a lucky Beastman.

He himself was only Sixth Tier; originally, he had a chance to rise to the Seventh Tier.

But because that incident happened, not only was he severely injured, but his abilities also regressed.

It is truly hateful; the thing he dreamed of, that Beastman obtained it so easily?!

The abilities as well, and the female as well.

Xiaodu huddled fearfully on the sandy ground, feeling that his brother was in a terrible mood today; this was already the eighth fish he had killed.

The previous seven all had their own ways of dying.

"Is it only you? Is Xiaodu not here?"

The stunning Mermaid appeared before his eyes unexpectedly; the tentacles swaying behind Guxian paused slightly, then quickly retracted, fearing they would be seen by the female he admired.

"I... why have you come?"

Guxian lowered his head somewhat reservedly, not daring to look into the female's eyes.

"Have you forgotten? Ten days have passed; it is time for me to cleanse your Mental Sea for the second time," Chaosheng said, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Oh, right, it is time."

Guxian repeated mechanically, his lowered eyes having already turned deep red; he struggled to restrain his tentacles from emerging and dancing wantonly before the female.

Especially that mating tentacle, which was twitching violently; having not seen the female for several days, it longed to immediately press against the fragrant female.

"Um..." Chaosheng took the initiative to say, "Could you go notify Shanlan and Bao San? Tell them to go to the Ice Shore from before."

"I am going to find the vines I need."

Vines?

The thing used to cleanse his Mental Sea last time?

Guxian narrowed his eyes with hidden meaning, his tone deep, "Why not let Xiaodu go instead?"

"I will go find the vines with you."

"Those vines seem quite heavy, right? I will help you carry them."

"Huh?" Chaosheng looked at him, somewhat stunned, unable to keep up with his train of thought for a moment.

Is Xiaodu here?

Why doesn't he go tell her himself?!

Guxian faced the small octopus, which was covered by seaweed and well-camouflaged, a seductive smile on his lips, "Xiaodu, you know how to find Shanlan and Bao San, right?"

"They are the two Beastmen who were with us last time."

"How about Brother catches some mackerel for you tonight?"

Mackerel?

Thinking of the sweet taste of mackerel, Xiaodu moved its mouth in hunger.

Most of the fish Brother brought back last time ended up in Brother's stomach.

After finishing them a few days ago, Brother hadn't gone hunting since.

"Okay!"

Xiaodu wiggled its tentacles and crawled out from the sandy ground covered in seaweed, answering hurriedly.

It was afraid that if it wasn't careful, Brother would go back on his word.

Who told Brother to be so abnormal these past few days, one moment in a great mood, the next in a terrible one.

It had made Xiaodu quite depressed.

Guxian patted Xiaodu's two fleshy fins as a reward and urged, "Go on."

After the small octopus trotted away.

Only Chaosheng and Guxian were left here.

Guxian looked at the beautiful female before him with excitement; gentle, beautiful, powerful—almost every trait was exactly what Guxian desired.

It was normal for such a female to have several Beast Husbands.

He had seen the female's two Beast Husbands; one was sullen and reticent, the other reckless and young. How could the female find any joy staying with them?

Although many females feared and were disgusted by the appearance of an Octopus Beastman, there were a few who had learned of the benefits of an Octopus Beastman and longed to stick to one every single day.

The females in his former Tribe were promiscuous; what hadn't he seen?

However, he had special abilities to protect himself, and because females loathed his appearance, none had ever thought of marrying him.

"Let's go."

"The Chunze Vine is not far ahead."

Guxian stared at Chaosheng with deep eyes, his pale, thin lips uttering: "Okay."
