Chapter 61: Yi Yang's Stress Reaction

The female's voice was soft, like melted candy—sweet and damp—and it made the beastfolk present's ears twitch involuntarily twice.

Ji Jiangci still held the pose of being kissed by Ye Xi'an, his warm, moist voice sounding, though it seemed to carry a faint smile: "Actually, just kissing your forehead is enough."

In an instant, Ye Xi'an felt like she was about to die from embarrassment, heat flaring to her head, becoming overly hot.

Ah—, why didn't you say so earlier.

Lin Zhi Jing also regretted not having spoken his piece fully, giving Ji Jiangci an unwarranted advantage.

After Ji Jiangci regained movement, he voluntarily stepped aside, making room for Bao Jing and Yi Yang.

Bao Jing's eyelids flickered twice, he feigned calm while staring at Ye Xi'an; unable to bear his gaze, she raised a hand to cover his eyes, and the next second kissed him.

She only kissed his forehead; she wouldn't fall into the same pit twice.

Having just said "I understand," she was immediately embraced by Bao Jing around the waist, their bodies pressed tightly together.

He pulled down Ye Xi'an's hand that was covering his eyes and held it in his embrace, his lower abdomen swelling with a sharp ache, his breathing growing ragged: "Can't favor one and neglect the other."

"Since you kissed Ji Jiangci's lips, I want to too."

"But just kissing the forehead is fine, you just said you'd listen to me about anything," Ye Xi'an felt Bao Jing's change, wanting to leave quickly, but her waist was held.

Bao Jing stared intently at Ye Xi'an, somewhat helpless that she used the family creed to block his words; he could only obediently release her waist, but the deep affection in his eyes startled Ye Xi'an, making her instinctively want to flee.

She had just stepped back a pace when Bao Jing showed a vulnerable expression, as if she were a woman who uses and then abandons.

Ye Xi'an: …… Social anxiety absolutely won't make me a jerk.

She pulled Bao Jing close and quickly kissed his lips.

Bao Jing's lips differed from Ji Jiangci's; Ji Jiangci's were like freshly toasted marshmallows—warm and soft—while Bao Jing's were like warm jelly, smooth and slick.

"Now it's Yi Yang's turn."

Ye Xi'an pushed Bao Jing away, hating his scheming beastly nature to the point of her teeth itching.

Yi Yang was much better, his gaze frank; at a glance he looked like a decent family's child.

His eyes held only pure excitement and anticipation, lacking Bao Jing's terrifying possessiveness and lust.

Since Ji Jiangci and Bao Jing kissed the lips, Yi Yang could only kiss the lips.

Ye Xi'an grabbed Yi Yang's collar and pulled him down; she had to admit, Yi Yang was extremely tall—taller than Bao Jing and Ji Jiangci—her foot almost vertical before she could barely reach his lips.

At the moment their lips met, Yi Yang felt a sensation he'd never known, like sinking into a soft blanket, with an urge to turn over and press down the covers, to do something to them, and his lower back tingled.

This made him involuntarily recall the training course at the Empire's Male Center.

The male training program at the Empire's Male Center had many courses—prenatal care, infant care, family education, cooking—and among them was a course called Female Master Soothing, which taught males how to make the female master comfortable without harming her.

Because males' supernatural abilities are often much higher than females', and their strength far exceeds hers, they frequently exert too much force and injure the female master, which is why this course exists.

It teaches males how to control their desire and strength, passing down 108 postures handed down by predecessors, as well as pre- and aftercare.

Back then, watching the educational video, he felt nothing; he couldn't grasp what was special about the motions, merely learning the techniques mechanically, devoid of feeling.

But now he seemed to understand a little: such a light kiss actually placed him and Ye Xi'an automatically into the roles of the educational video, and the sensation changed instantly.

He seemed to see a new world's door slowly opening before him, bright white light spilling out.

Unknowingly, his tongue slipped out of his mouth and gently licked Ye Xi'an's cherry-blossom-like lips.

When he realized what he'd done, Ye Xi'an and Yi Yang both widened their eyes; Ye Xi'an hurriedly pushed him away, and both looked incredulous.

Yi Yang wanted to explain it wasn't intentional, but since Ye Xi'an hadn't yet said "I understand," he dared not move, just standing stiffly.

His clear blue eyes misted over, and Yi Yang, face flushed red and purple, stood like a foolish goose in the center of the room.

Ye Xi'an had been a little embarrassed, not expecting Yi Yang to lick her in front of so many, but seeing his appearance, he seemed even more embarrassed, and she instantly relaxed.

When a person is shy but meets someone even shyer, inexplicably they feel less shy.

Ji Jiangci amusedly watched Yi Yang and Ye Xi'an standing there, faces red as they competed to see who was blusher, and reminded: "Wife, say you understand."

Ji Jiangci's voice was very gentle, his tone special; listening to it could soothe inner agitation, and the two words "wife" were so gentle they seemed to drip water.

Bao Jing's body barely hesitated, he turned to look at Ji Jiangci beside him; Ji Jiangci had never before called Ye Xi'an "wife," merely working silently and enduring beatings.

Reminded by Ji Jiangci, Ye Xi'an then recalled and quickly told Yi Yang, "I understand."

"Ah—, wife kissed me! Wife kissed me!" After Yi Yang could move, his whole body was like he'd taken a stimulant, leaping up and down, running circles in the cramped room; unable to keep running, he bolted out the door with his head down.

All those actions left Ye Xi'an dumbfounded; by the time she went out to chase, she could only see the silhouette of a brownish-yellow dog.

Did Yi Yang turn into a dog?

She hurried back inside, exclaiming, "Yi Yang turned into a dog and ran away!"

But no one inside paid any attention.

"Labradors of this beastfolk breed are just like that—unambitious; at the slightest thing they easily become stressed and revert to beast form, needing to vent, otherwise they'll fall into a frenzy; don't bother with him, wait till he vents and he'll come back on his own." Bao Jing said, although he called Labradors unambitious, his tone held no contempt.

Ye Xi'an laughed awkwardly; oh, that's how it is.

Now she could ask her doubt: "Why do you suddenly have to recite the family creed?"

Is it scheduled recitation, or did she trigger some keyword? If the latter, she'd have to be careful in the future; otherwise, having this happen now and then would truly mortify her.

Bao Jing first glanced at Lin Zhi Jing beside him, whose eyes were dark and heavy, then said: "In a family, the final decision on all matters should lie with the female; males can only advise."

"As for whether to go accept a mission, the decision should be yours, An'an."
