Chapter 31: Ye Ling's Backstab

Bao Jing finished beating someone and then went to see Ye Xi'an, but Ye Xi'an was already frightened silly.

Being abducted is so terrifying—actually having to live with 1,100 people? What's the difference from staying in a public place?

She grabbed the corner of Bao Jing's clothes, her expression pitiful: "Mmm~, Bao Jing, I don't want to be taken away."

Seeing the female's deliberate cute expression, Bao Jing's face almost instantly turned red; to avoid being discovered flustered, he quickly turned his head away: "Don't act cute!"

But Ye Xi'an wouldn't give up: "Don't let me be taken away, okay?"

Ji Jiangci, who had been watching the outside situation from the side, turned back: "You really don't want to be taken away?"

"Of course!"

She certainly doesn't want to stay in a public place; compared to living with a hundred people, living together with Ji Jiangci and the three others is far happier.

"Then you'll just have to endure it."

Then, the restroom door slowly opened, and a male wearing a dirty long coat walked out; that long coat was something Ji Jiangci had just picked up while working outside and hadn't had time to wash.

Ye Ling, who had been guarding outside, looked at the strangely dressed Bao Jing coming out of the restroom: "How did you end up dressed like that? Where's Ye Xi'an?"

Bao Jing's gaze was evasive; he didn't speak, just placed his hand on his chest and stood in a strange pose.

Or Ji Jiangci indicated with his eyes, glancing at the protrusion on Bao Jing's chest.

Now Ye Ling understood: Ye Xi'an was hiding under Bao Jing's clothes; she was just thin, so it wasn't very noticeable.

Looking down, sure enough, there were two pairs of legs beneath the hem; fortunately the vehicle was crowded, and Ji Jiangci and Yi Yang were also blocking the view, so unless one looked deliberately, one wouldn't notice that Ye Xi'an was actually hiding inside someone else's clothing.

Ye Xi'an, hidden inside Bao Jing's clothing, couldn't see anything outside; her vision was pitch black, and she could only judge the direction of movement by following Bao Jing's motions.

Her whole body pressed tightly against Bao Jing; the air inside the clothing was thin, so she had to breathe hard to meet her oxygen needs.

But Bao Jing suffered; the warm, moist sensation on his chest made his tailbone go numb, and without looking he knew Ye Xi'an was currently pressing her slightly opened, tender red lips against his chest.

Sometimes, what you can't see is the most alluring.

Bao Jing's complexion wasn't any better; his ears, hidden under his hair, were reddened to the point of almost being cooked, and the corners of his eyes were also flushed red.

His gaze was vacant, and his mind was even more in a muddled mess.

Yi Yang, who had been watching the situation, noticed something off with Bao Jing; he dared not move, fearing others would see Ye Xi'an's feet, so he could only crane his neck to look: "Bao Jing, why are your eyes red?"

Bao Jing's voice hoarse: "It's fine, don't get distracted."

As the vehicle was about to arrive at the stop, Bao Jing's heartbeat quickened, and those on the vehicle searching for the female grew increasingly anxious.

How strange—clearly we saw the female board, yet we can't find her.

Ye Ling watched the males in the carriage buzzing around like headless flies, not looking this way, and silently cursed them as idiots.

He stepped forward, creating distance from Ji Jiangci and the others, and gazed solemnly at the three of them.

By the time the three realized something was wrong, it was already too late; all they saw was Ye Ling suddenly shouting: "The female is here!"

Saying that, he suddenly lunged to flip open Bao Jing's outer garment, but as a speed-type beastman, Bao Jing couldn't possibly be caught by him.

Bao Jing's eyes blood-red, his whole body erupting with an oppressive aura, he punched the reaching Ye Ling away, but because the motion was too large, it exposed Ye Xi'an hidden inside his clothing.

Ye Xi'an had just gained light, not yet reacting to what was happening, when Yi Yang grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.

Ji Jiangci and Bao Jing followed behind the two; if anyone tried to catch up, they did their best to stall.

But the two hadn't taken on missions for a long time, and their ability levels couldn't rise; they were no match for these people, and soon the frenzied males broke through their line and rushed toward Ye Xi'an.

Ye Xi'an turned her head and saw nothing but a sea of heads, their eyes crazy, like mad dogs chasing bones.

Good grief, this scene reminded Ye Xi'an of three idioms: rubbing shoulders, a sea of people, and heads gathering together.

These are the three idioms she hates most in her life!

She instantly found motivation and madly pumped her legs forward.

Watching the female's slender, fair legs swing quickly before their eyes, these males instantly went even crazier, just wanting to grab those legs, hoist them onto their shoulders, and exert brutal force.

The carriage descended into chaos, everywhere filled with the low growls of males in heat; those unaware might have thought it was a zombie outbreak.

Thus, Ye Xi'an was chased by a group of "zombies" from the rear of the carriage to the front, with nowhere left to run; she and the other leaned against the carriage walls, their desperate gazes drowned by the crowd.

In the chaos, hands were all over Ye Xi'an's legs, arms, and head; she could only scream while trying to protect her private parts.

Yi Yang was squeezed outside, frantic beyond endurance.

"Wife! Wife!"

He jumped up, barely able to see Ye Xi'an being molested by a group of beastmen, which made his eyes turn red with anger.

"You bunch of beasts, let go of my wife!"

But he was only a first-rank beastman, and he couldn't beat any of them in a fight.

Ji Jiangci and Bao Jing hurried over, both bearing wounds on their bodies and faces.

Bao Jing's expression was anxious; he grabbed Yi Yang and asked: "Where's Ye Xi'an?"

Yi Yang saw the two arrive, tears streaming uncontrollably, pointing at the crowd he said, choking: "Inside, I was useless, I failed to protect her. Mmm~, Brother Ji, quickly save my wife."

Ji Jiangci assessed the situation, quickly analyzed, and ultimately concluded: "We can't protect Ye Xi'an. But she probably won't lose her life."

In Ji Jiangci's view, as long as Ye Xi'an doesn't die, the matter isn't that serious.

Bao Jing's eyes bloodshot, he slammed a fist into Ji Jiangci: "It's all your rotten idea!"

After the punch, wings unfurled from his back with a whoosh; he strained to beat back the surrounding beastmen and charged inside.

"Ye Xi'an, where are you?"

Ye Xi'an was still dealing with the surrounding salty pig hands, the chaotic crowd, and the noisy clamor, so she didn't hear Bao Jing's call; seeing someone even trying to reach under her thigh, she quickly knelt on the ground, seized that hand, and forcibly broke it.

The male let out a miserable howl; Bao Jing heard it and swiftly lunged that way.

"Ye Xi'an, Ye Xi'an!"

Getting closer, Ye Xi'an finally heard Bao Jing's voice and quickly replied: "Bao Jing, I'm here!"

After Bao Jing pushed through the crowd and finally found Ye Xi'an kneeling on the ground, her hair and clothes a mess, he surged forward like regaining a precious treasure and embraced her; in that moment he finally understood—he truly loved Ye Xi'an.

He softly comforted the frightened Ye Xi'an, using his huge wings to shield against the attackers' assaults.

But how could they possibly stop so many people with just one body?

They plucked the feathers from the wings, tore open the flesh there, and blood spattered onto Ye Xi'an's face.
