Chapter 13 What kind of straight man approach is this?
Jiang Nuo lowered her head, neither speaking nor looking at him. Although she was frightened, her pretty face was filled with stubbornness.

She secretly protected the smart halo on her wrist, the only thing Theo had left her.

But the girl's little movements did not escape Xuan Yan's eyes. His pupils contracted, and he roughly reached out and grabbed Jiang Nuo's wrist again, chuckling, "You treasure his things that much?"

Without regard for the girl's pain, he yanked off the bracelet and then put the gleaming gold handcuffs on the girl's smooth, white hands.

"Please give me back my things."

Seeing her belongings snatched, Jiang Nuo bit her lip tightly. At that moment, her gaze toward the man held less fear and more disgust.

Perhaps because of her anger, the girl's pupils were exceptionally bright, like jade that had been washed clean.

"Are you angry?" Xuan Yan sneered.

Jiang Nuo looked up at the man high above her and said in a low voice, "If you hate me, why did you arrest me? I don't think I'm qualified to be personally rescued by the Palace Master."

Xuan Yan looked at the girl in front of him with a cute and angry expression. He subconsciously reached out his hand to touch Jiang Nuo's cheek, but the girl dodged to the side, and Xuan Yan's hand was left awkwardly hanging in mid-air.

Jiang Nuo's refusal caused Xuan Yan's pupils to shrink slightly. He withdrew his hand, stood up, and gently massaged Jiang Nuo's temples with his long, slender, and fair fingers. The scene had an almost morbid beauty.

“Little thing, let me give you a piece of advice.” Xuan Yan looked down at her: “Since the Beast God has chosen you, everything you have no longer belongs to you. Your unauthorized behavior makes me feel that you are dirty. Don’t do it again.”

As he spoke, Xuan Yan's gaze lingered on Jiang Nuo's lower abdomen, clearly revealing the true meaning behind his words about filth.

"I belong only to myself."

Jiang Nuo spoke softly. Although she shouldn't contradict this madman, when he said "everything she owns doesn't belong to her," perhaps it was her inherent personality that made her subconsciously refute him.

Xuan Yan stopped rubbing his fingers and quickly walked to Jiang Nuo, pulling the girl up. The tenderness in his eyes was replaced by malice.

"It seems you really need some discipline. How can you become a qualified Beast God's messenger if you're so disobedient?" Xuan Yan looked at the weak girl. "Have you heard of the Legion Dungeon of my Beast God Temple? It holds countless criminals who have violated the laws of the Federation, as well as mutated beastmen whose mental powers have completely gone out of control and who have lost their minds. Want to go and see it?"

The man's voice carried a chilling undertone, and Jiang Nuo's body stiffened, as if bound by an invisible force. She continued to turn her face away, refusing to look at him.

"What, are you still hoping he'll come to save you?"

Jiang Nuo's gaze was cold, but when she looked at the main hall where she was, there was a golden statue at the very top center, sculpted as a woman, but without any facial features.

The sculpture was enveloped in a faint golden light, making it appear exceptionally noble and sacred.

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with the statue above, as if her soul resonated with the aura emanating from it. Could it be... that this was because of her high affinity with the Beast God?
“Lord of the Palace, since you are the messenger of the Beast God’s will and the protector of the Federation’s females, yet you risked disrupting the Federation’s order to take me away and treated me, a weak female, in this way, can’t we say that you have already violated the Beast God’s will?”

Jiang Nuo looked up at the statue above and said, "I'm afraid you're not doing a good job as the Beast God's Messenger."

"!"

These two statements were more damaging than anything he had said to Xuan Yan before.

Xuan Yan's eyes turned crimson, as if bright red blood was splattered in his pupils, and his powerful hand climbed directly onto Jiang Nuo's soft and slender neck: "Dare you say that again?!"

Is she trying to replace him?!
"Cough cough..."

The girl struggled to breathe, but inwardly she sneered. So this man cared so much about the Beast God?

In her eyes, what kind of beast god was he? He was just a vague and ethereal being. How could he possibly control such a man to such an extent?

Seeing that Jiang Nuo was about to suffocate, Xuan Yan stopped pressing his hand, because the aura on the girl that was in harmony with the Beast God always made him soften a little at crucial moments.

"Someone come here." A command rang out, and the servants on both sides of the hall stepped forward and helped the collapsed Jiang Nuo up.

"Take her to the First Legion dungeon and tell General Phil that she is a serious criminal of our Federation. Lock her in the deepest, darkest part of the dungeon."

"Yes!"

Two servants ruthlessly carried Jiang Nuo away, and the hall became empty again.

Xuan Yan stood in the center of the hall. He slowly raised his hand, the same hand that had just grabbed Jiang Nuo's neck.

He looked at his palm, where the faint fragrance of the young girl still lingered, and the soft touch from before felt so real.

Just recalling the girl's limp body and disheveled hair, she resembled a broken doll.

The anger in Xuan Yan's eyes gradually subsided, and he slowly clenched his fist, though it was unclear what he was thinking.

……

Twenty minutes after this order was issued.

A man in a military overcoat walked in. The brim of his military cap covered his stray hairs, and the two buttons made him look particularly solemn. He exuded an air of authority without anger, and his eyes revealed a calm and composed demeanor.

The man walked steadily and powerfully to the center of the hall, stood there, looked up at Xuan Yan, and his voice clearly showed dissatisfaction: "Is this the serious criminal you sent me?"

A petite, frail, and utterly defenseless female? A serious offender? What a joke the Federation has on you!
"Phil, I knew you would make the trip."

Xuan Yan stepped down: "That little thing is disobedient and needs to be disciplined. I was just trying to scare her and see her reaction. Did you take it seriously?"

Upon hearing this, General Phil was stunned.

“Xuan Yan, you really are a madman.” Phil’s tone wasn’t like he was cursing, but rather stating a given fact: “Do you know that she is very weak and pregnant? You put mental handcuffs on her and want to lock her in the dungeon. What were you thinking?”

How could Xuan Yan, a male, bring himself to harm such a delicate and beautiful female?

Xuan Yan lowered his eyes and answered casually, "Her mental energy seems to have been disturbed, and she almost lost her life. These mental handcuffs are very suitable for her. Experiments have shown that they were very effective on males in a semi-berserk state in the past."

"you--"

Phil pointed a finger at the other person, seemingly too angry to say anything: "This is the first time I've seen you hate a female so much."

Using the same forceful methods used against males to treat such a delicate female, what kind of straight male approach is this?
Xuan Yan remained silent, walked down the steps in his burgundy tailcoat, lit a cigar, and walked past General Phil outside.

Do you hate it...?

He probably hates her.

The other party is going to take his place as the Beast God's Messenger.

But why...

Something feels off.

At this moment, a conflicting emotion was slowly growing within Xuan Yan's heart.
