"What’s he trying to do!"
Shi Jue looked at Xi Han, who forcefully and unreasonably entered Ruan Li’s room, and expressed his displeasure directly, regardless of whether Xi Han could hear it or not.
Zhe Ye’s smoky gray eyes were calm, "Does he intend to monopolize from the first day he arrives?" Read full story at novel⚑fire.net
As far as he knew, no male Beastman had yet secured the privilege of staying the night in Ruan Li’s bedroom, let alone share her bed.
Shi Jue said angrily, "Mermaid Species indeed have devious minds!"
First, they managed to find Ruan Li before anyone else, although no one knew how, and then they just tricked the sleeping Ruan Li into her room.
As for Xu Mo, who hadn’t returned home... no one cared.
All three tacitly avoided mentioning the absent Beastman’s return.
Male Beastmen generally have strong possessiveness and are prone to jealousy; if it weren’t for maintaining a good image in front of the Female Head, they would have fought to the death long ago.
This sleep was particularly long. Having passively fallen asleep at three or four in the morning, even in her dreams, she saw herself tied by vines, sprawling and hanging in the air. A masked man stood before her, mocking her, saying he would swallow her whole, scaring Ruan Li to the point where she bit him as soon as he approached...
She then dreamed she was in the ocean, an octopus clutching her tightly, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t escape...
Xi Han watched her flailing around in her sleep as if trying to perform a 360-degree gymnastics rotation and remained unusually silent.
The water-blue eyes revealed a hint of speechlessness, and then he hugged the small female securely in his arms even more diligently.
Ruan Li opened her eyes with a trace of tiredness from her barely adequate sleep quality.
Startled, upon opening her eyes, she saw a super handsome guy lying beside her with his eyes closed.
So men do sleep less, and she started daydreaming in the morning.
Ruan Li closed and then reopened her eyes.
She finally recognized one fact!
This handsome guy is real!
Strangely, she didn’t feel much surprise, but rather a sense of "as expected, already used to it."
However, seeing that their clothes were still relatively clean, Ruan Li judged that nothing intense had occurred last night.
On her third attempt to get up quietly, she was effortlessly pulled back into his arms by a large hand, and she gave up completely.
Surrendered, presented such a handsome guy, why not take advantage of it.
With the thought of getting something for nothing, Ruan Li shamelessly scrutinized the man carefully.
His blue wavy long hair draped over the pillow, and Ruan Li picked up a strand, its smoothness beyond belief.
His dense long hair seemed like a deep sea, naturally exuding a peaceful aura. His snow-white cheeks seemed to never see daylight, with faintly visible blue veins that didn’t detract from his beauty at all. His perfectly chiseled jawline seemed like the Creator’s most favored work, even his eyebrows and lashes were a light blue, his skin so smooth and delicate, Ruan Li couldn’t help but feel envious.
His Adam’s apple seemed to have an excessively charming allure; Ruan Li couldn’t resist lightly brushing it with her hand.
With a loose collar, a glance downward revealed exquisite collarbones and a delectable...
Her fingers slowly slid down his throat, murmuring softly, comforting herself, "You brought yourself to bed, I’m just touching, not taking advantage of you..."
Her fingertips brushed over a cool collarbone; the bony but pleasant feel was simply irresistible to her.
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes, ice-blue eyes as deep as a boundless sea, and just one look could deeply draw you in.
"What are you doing?" Xi Han asked in a low voice.
His pale blue lashes fluttered, and his eyes showed a faint confusion.
Ruan Li, caught red-handed, smiled awkwardly to cover her embarrassment, "Cough, cough, I saw your clothes were loose, I just touched to see if you had a fever."
The man pondered a moment, seemingly considering this seriously. He nodded slightly, unzipped his clothes, holding her hand against his chest, "Is this okay? But the normal body temperature of sea Beastmen is different from land Beastmen."
Ruan Li’s face flushed, heart racing as she fully felt the firm yet soft sensation beneath her palm, stammering, "That’s enough, enough," hastily adding, "no fever," then the man let go.
"I am Xi Han, a Mermaid Beastman, with Eight-Star Water Ability, your fifth Beast Husband," his voice as clear and melodious as the tinkling of a spring disturbed.
Strong powers, stunning looks.
Ruan Li even doubted for a moment if the Smart Brain’s system was broken.
But that wasn’t important; the most critical thing was what happened last night.
Ruan Li asked Xi Han about last night’s events, but Xi Han said he only saw a masked man, no sign of a fox?
The man furrowed his brows, lips slightly downturned.
"Male Beastmen have strong survival instincts. The Prince Yale you mentioned, I don’t know, but Xu Mo should be fine."
Ruan Li, worried, threw off the covers and quickly got out of bed to wash up, getting out the door in a flash.
"Bai He, have you seen Xu Mo?"
Bai He saw the anxious small female and shook his head, "I don’t know if he came back."
"I just sent him a message through his Smart Brain, and he hasn’t replied either... Did he not come back last night?"
Bai He pressed his lips together; he really shouldn’t answer this question directly. Xu Mo’s life or death had nothing to do with him.
"Yeah, when Xi Han brought you back last night, he still wasn’t home."
"Zhe Ye, you’re in the military, right? Can you help find him?"
Zhe Ye saw Ruan Li’s anxious look, stood up to respond, "I can locate his Smart Brain, but I can’t immediately mobilize my team."
Last time, concerning Ruan Li, he rushed to get the approval processed within half an hour, but for an unrelated male Beastman...
After some maneuvering, Zhe Ye projected Xu Mo’s location on a screen, showing it to be in a manor on Planet A.
Seeing Xu Mo’s location, Ruan Li immediately insisted on going over.
Zhe Ye, however, called after her, "Ruannuan..."
But when faced with her urgent, clear eyes, Zhe Ye’s intended words turned into, "I’ll take you there by flyer."
The flyer sped toward the coordinates, and Ruan Li and Zhe Ye sat together in the cockpit.
Currently, in autopilot mode, Zhe Ye turned to see Ruan Li fixated on the navigation screen, his brows slightly furrowed, he reassured, "No need to worry, he’ll be fine.
I’ve heard about Yale, an Imperial Royal Family Beastman favored by the Queen with decent talents, known to be somewhat defiant, but he’s never done anything outrageous. Xu Mo might suffer a bit, but his life won’t be in danger."
Ruan Li recognized it as comfort, but, "But at the time, Xu Mo was severely injured, and I’m worried his injuries might worsen."
Zhe Ye’s fingers on the armrest slightly curled; he wanted to pat Ruan Li’s head and tell her not to worry, but seeing the distance separating the pilot and co-pilot seats, he could only tap the armrest for reassurance.
Ruan Li’s Smart Brain buzzed — it was a video call from Xu Mo.
She answered without hesitation—
"Miss Ruan, we meet again."
