Chapter 9: Yuangu Shoushi 03

Bao Jing coldly gazed at the shameless male before him, who dared to flirt with his wife right in front of him.

On Zhu Shen Xing, males only flirt in secret! This male simply doesn't regard him at all.

"I advise you to put away your things, otherwise."

Bao Jing didn't say the rest, instead he flashed his sharp claws.

The male saw Bao Jing's threat, but he not only didn't restrain himself, he frowned and accused Bao Jing: "Which tribe are you from? Don't you know males aren't allowed to interfere with a female master's choice of beast husband?"

"Your desire to monopolize the female master will be punished!"

Ye Xi'an was smothered by Bao Jing's big hand, barely able to breathe, and only with great effort did she free her face from his grip.

Upon seeing Ye Xi'an, the male's expression softened again; he narrowed his eyes, carefully sniffing her scent in the air, showing his gentlest side: "Little female, are you from the cat tribe? I'm from the gray wolf tribe, now living in the central tribe."

"I want to join your faction, can I follow you to your tribe? May I?"

The male looked at Ye Xi'an with eyes full of anticipation, his gaze almost devouring her, making Ye Xi'an feel somewhat uneasy, not daring to look again.

Seeing the male act as if he didn't exist, Bao Jing narrowed his eyes, pressing his tongue hard against his molars: "Courting death!"

The next second, he shot past Ye Xi'an and rushed out, attacking the male.

The male's movements were agile; from childhood hunting experience, his speed had reached its peak, and hardly anyone in the tribe could match him.

Unfortunately, today he encountered a beastman from another planet, whose speed simply cannot compare to Bao Jing's.

Even without using his abilities, Bao Jing could beat this male to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy.

He gripped the male's neck, tilting his head triumphantly: "Just like that, you dare to come out and flirt with someone else's wife master?"

Just as he was about to choke the male's neck, an elegant female voice came over: "Stop!"

Everyone looked over; from deep in the forest emerged a black-haired female wearing a dress made of beast hide, sitting on the back of a tiger whose entire body was snow-white.

The female approached Bao Jing, patted the white tiger's neck, and the tiger obediently lowered its body, making it easy for her to dismount.

As soon as the female landed, the white tiger transformed into a two-meter-tall adult beastman, standing behind her.

She sized up Bao Jing and Ye Xi'an's attire, probing: "Are you from Zhu Shen Xing?"

Upon hearing that, Bao Jing immediately knew the female before him was also from Zhu Shen Xing; it wasn't strange, as many people often travel to other star systems.

"Hmm."

"Then let's get acquainted; I'm Tu Mi, also from Zhu Shen Xing, but I lost my key seven years ago and have never been able to return."

Bao Jing couldn't be bothered to respond, still gripping the male's neck, he gave a bland "oh."

Tu Mi looked at the male's indifferent attitude, gave an embarrassed smile; males on Zhu Shen Xing really are still so unlikable, she stroked the beast husband behind her, sighing, the males of the ancient beast world are still obedient.

"Could you first release Zuo Yi? He is one of my beast husbands."

Hearing "beast husband," Bao Jing eyed Tu Mi skeptically: "Your beast husband? He clearly just tried to flirt with my wife master."

He glanced at the ever-silent Ye Xi'an and found that this little coward was already about to hide ten meters away.

Could he let Ye Xi'an stay out of it? Of course not; he deliberately shouted loudly: "Right, wife!"

As he spoke, he shook Zuo Yi in his hand; the sturdy Zuo Yi in Bao Jing's grip was like a fish awaiting slaughter, the disparity in strength was enormous.

Tu Mi followed Bao Jing's gaze and indeed saw Ye Xi'an trying to shrink away.

But this female's mental power was too weak; she hardly noticed it at all.

Seeing she couldn't hide, Ye Xi'an embarrassedly stepped out from behind the stone, stood firm, and shouted to the people a few meters away: "Seems like it."

Watching Ye Xi'an's timid expression, Tu Mi chuckled lightly, thinking this female actually fears her own beast husband?

Then it's easy to handle.

She waved her hand, intending to use mental power to make Ye Xi'an walk over herself, but found Ye Xi'an didn't move at all.

"Huh? What's going on, why did the mental power fail?"

She refused to believe it, attempting to control Bao Jing; she now had mental power level four, while Bao Jing was only wind affinity level two, and she easily controlled him, rescuing Zuo Yi.

It seems the mental power is fine; then what's wrong with this female? Tu Mi gave Ye Xi'an a strange glance, wondering if Ye Xi'an's mental power surpassed hers.

"What do you mean by that?"

Bao Jing was under mental power control, his body completely unable to move.

"Just want you to release Zuo Yi."

"Zuo Yi, come over."

Zuo Yi covered his neck, gasping uncomfortably, yet stubbornly tried to move toward Ye Xi'an.

"Lord Tu Mi, I already have a faction I want to join; please stop forcing me!"

Seeing Zuo Yi getting closer and closer, Ye Xi'an wanted to run but feared losing him, so she could only run terrified toward Bao Jing.

The moment she touched Bao Jing, he found he could move again.

"Not this big brother, I have no faction; please don't come near me anymore."

Hearing Ye Xi'an's clear refusal, Zuo Yi finally stopped his steps, feeling somewhat hurt; he was the strongest male in the tribe.

"Hmph, I've been good to you for nothing."

Tu Mi looked at Zuo Yi's worthless demeanor, becoming furious; she had been so good to him, yet he likes such a female?

Tu Mi no longer bothered with Zuo Yi; he's just a male, if you don't want him, fine—no need to make things stiff with the beastmen of Zhu Shen Xing over him.

"Sorry about earlier; I was too worked up over this beastman, which is why I used mental power on you. I've already withdrawn my mental power; as compensation, once we return, I can give you ten thousand contribution points."

"Ten thousand!" Bao Jing and Ye Xi'an exchanged a knowing glance; upon seeing Ye Xi'an's violet amber pupils, Bao Jing inexplicably felt his mouth dry.

"Why does this Ye Xi'an widen her eyes so round, pretending to be cute?"

"What do you want?"

Tu Mi smiled: "Indeed, it's more comfortable talking to males of normal intelligence."

"These males of the ancient beast world, though each tall and mighty, are simply frustrating in terms of intelligence."

"As I said before, I lost my key, which is why I haven't been able to return; I hope you can give me a ride when you go back."

Okay.

It's just a casual favor, and there are still ten thousand experience points; there's no reason not to help.

Okay! Then what is your mission? I can help you complete it; I'm very familiar with this beastman island.

Ye Xi'an was a bit reluctant; she really didn't want to be with so many people.

She pinched Bao Jing's vest strap, speaking softly: "Husband, it's better to handle your own affairs yourself~."

Tu Mi hated this kind of affected female: "If you're unwilling, then get lost!"
