After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 157 Let's make things clear

Sang Tian quickened her pace downstairs, and when she reached the first floor, she found Lu Mian and Tang Xiaoyan just coming in from outside.

When Lu Mian saw Sang Tian, ​​his eyes lit up instantly, and he stared straight at her.

Not long after, Bao Zemin stood between the two, blocking their view.

"The outsiders have come knocking on the door. How are you going to explain this?"

He questioned Sang Tian in a tone that sounded entirely like a wronged husband.

Sang Tian calmly said, "As expected, people can't empathize with their past selves. Have you forgotten the path you came from?"

These words left Bao Zemin speechless. After a long while, he finally managed to stammer, "I'm not like him."

Sang Tian asked, "What's different?"
Seeing the change in Bao Zemin's expression, she swallowed her words, worried that he might exaggerate the relationship between her and Lu Mian during dinner.

Tang Xiaoyan walked over and asked Sang Tian, ​​"What do you want me to help you with? Should we talk about it here or in your room?"

Tang Xiaoyan got straight to the point.

"Let's talk about it after we eat."

She had only taken a nap when it was already dark, and before she knew it, it was time for dinner.

Bi Jingyan prepared a huge table of dishes, a full twenty different ones, which looked less like a banquet and more like a display of his skills.

All five beastmen except for Bao Zeming were stunned when they saw Lu Mian, clearly not expecting him to be there.

Having learned her lesson from the last experience, Tang Xiaoyan has become wiser.

She changed the subject, saying, "Lu Mian was brought by me."

Finally, she exclaimed in surprise, looking at the different dishes on the table with great admiration, took a deep breath, and sighed sincerely.

"It looks good and smells amazing. It must taste incredibly delicious."

Tang Xiaoyan's flattery was spot on, and Bi Jingyan was very pleased with her words.

The other beastmen, however, were not convinced and remained vigilant towards the sleeping deer.

Lu Mian looked at the family with envy, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, and the thought of joining the family arose in her mind.

Bai Mingchen read Lu Mian's thoughts, and his brows furrowed even more.

When I learned of the bond between Lu Mian and Sang Tian.

What he feared was that Sang Tian might not have any ulterior motives, but Lu Mian might. Clearly, his guess had come true.

This woman, however, was incredibly soft-hearted when it came to orcs, wishing she could give every orc a home.

The same was true for the other beastmen, especially those who didn't get to eat meat.

Of all the people eating the meal, only Sang Tian and Tang Xiaoyan seemed relaxed and at ease.

After dinner, Bai Mingchen and Qing Zhi were in charge of washing the dishes, while the others cleaned up. Sang Tian and Tang Xiaoyan went upstairs to discuss matters.

Upon learning of Sang Tian's plan, Tang Xiaoyan expressed her absolute support and declared that she would not accept a single spirit crystal.

At the same time, Tang Xiaoyan also gave Sang Tian a lot of advice, which greatly reduced Sang Tian's labor costs.

The atmosphere upstairs and downstairs is completely different.

Lu Mian sat on the sofa, surrounded by people on both sides. He was squeezed into a small space in the middle, making it very uncomfortable for him.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he got up and walked towards the empty single sofa.

"Stop." Bai Mingchen called out to Lu Mian, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Leopard Zemin was unusually silent, quietly waiting for the other beastmen to finish off Lu Mian. There was nothing he could do; after all, he and Lu Mian were senior and junior.

Li Su's injuries had healed considerably, and the wounds had scabbed over, but the injury on her brow bone was still a shocking sight. Lu Mian stood obediently without moving.

On the one hand, he knew he was no match for them, and on the other hand, he didn't want to ruin his relationship with them.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that they will not accept him.

"You guessed right, we really won't accept you, because we've already accepted someone before you, and our tolerance has already been given to someone else."

Bai Mingchen's words were straightforward, revealing Lu Mian's true feelings in front of everyone.

Bi Jingyan exploded upon hearing this, "You really want to join?"

Bi Jingyan pondered that he hadn't made dinner tonight. How could this strange beast have such great ambitions?

"I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible." Li Su, who had been taciturn all day, finally spoke up at this moment.

Even Qingzhi, who is usually as considerate and gentle as the older brother next door, couldn't sit still.

“Our family can’t accommodate new people, unless you don’t want to live.”

Wu Lanyuan gave a low "hmm," and said, "Unless you risk your life to enter this family through your own strength, instead of using Tian Tian's soft heart by crying and whining."

Upon hearing this, all five beastmen looked at Wu Lanyuan, their eyes seemingly saying, "Brother, you seem to have a story to tell."
Ever since witnessing it that day, Wu Lanyuan had considered learning from them and appropriately feigning misery and weakness to Sang Tian.

He practiced in the air for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't accept it.

Lu Mian wasn't oblivious; she could clearly sense their malice towards her.

The budding idea was nipped in the bud.

When Sang Tian and Tang Xiaoyan came down, the two immediately noticed that Lu Mian's mood was off. She was no longer like a curious child, looking around, and the light in her eyes had dimmed.

Sang Tian knew without even thinking whose problem this was, or rather, whose problem it was.

Sang Tian saw Lu Mian and Tang Xiaoyan off, without letting any of the beastmen follow.

"Xiaoyan, I want to talk to Lumian alone for a while."

Sang Tian had just learned from Tang Xiaoyan that she would be taking him to the zombie island tomorrow, so Lu Mian would be leaving with Tang Xiaoyan tonight.

“Okay.” Tang Xiaoyan readily agreed, then walked a short distance ahead, deliberately keeping her distance from Sang Tian.

“Lu Mian, I brought you off the zombie island for another purpose, and that purpose is definitely not because I like you. Once my marriage permissions are restored, I will unbind our relationship as soon as possible.”

"Consider your personal freedom and autonomy as compensation for how I took advantage of you."

Lu Mian frowned, clearly not wanting to hear such words. He gradually came to his own judgment, realizing that Sang Tian meant to distance herself from him by saying these words.

"Master, did I do something wrong today?"

Hearing the pitiful tone in the other person's voice, Sang Tian's heart softened, and she softened her tone of voice.

"No, you did nothing wrong. I just didn't want you to misunderstand anything, so I chose to make things clear to you."

Lu Mian lowered her eyelashes in disappointment. "I understand."

Sang Tian sighed inwardly. There were just too many beast husbands in the house. If another one came, she wouldn't get a break for a whole week.

Thinking about how she hadn't rested for a week, Sang Tian belatedly realized something: how should she account for the two days she had disappeared?
Now she understood why the five beastly husbands harbored such resentment towards her upon her return.

After Sang Tian explained things to Lu Mian, she said, "Go back now, it's getting late. If Wu Yanghao and Feng Qi bully you, remember to tell me."

Lu Mian shook her head and said sincerely, "They didn't bully me, they treated me very well."

Sang Tian was relieved to hear this.
