Xu Wan felt her vision going black and black again. She closed her eyes, feeling utterly hopeless, and leaned back into Zhu You's arms.

"I don't want to go to the prayer meeting anymore..."

If she were to tell Yun Shu about this decision now, would the other party disagree... or disagree?

"Zhuyou, do you think it's too late for me to go to Dark Night City to find Duyu and break the contract with him?"

Before the other person could answer, she sighed again.

Forget it, who knows where that bastard Du Yu is right now.

Moreover, all three beastmen are only at the fourth rank; they have absolutely no chance of winning against them...

Zhu You didn't speak. He patted her back, but he was thinking about something else.

He was also male, so he could naturally see that Du Yu had feelings for Wan Wan—he was interested in her.

Du Yu will not break the contract.

Not only will he not, but after hearing Wanwan say she wants to dissolve the contract, he might even use this as an excuse to take advantage of her and do something even more outrageous to her.

Moreover... there are other ways to change the bond mark than just dissolving the bond.

Just like his bond mark, after the formal bond was formed, it moved from his arm to his collarbone.

He was Wanwan's first beast husband, even if he didn't want her to have other beast husbands.

However, a half-king orc is better able to protect their mistress when facing danger than the three fourth-tier orcs.

Rather than risking Wanwan's life to break the contract, he felt he should find a way to make that madman Duyu truly loyal to Wanwan.

[Candlelight's affection value increased by 3 points, which has been automatically converted into health points. Current health points: 26 days remaining.]

Xu Wan lifted her head from Zhu You's embrace and stared at him for a long while.

[System, why did your affection level suddenly increase? Are you sure it's not your jealousy level that's increased?]

The system remained silent for a moment.

Love represents responsibility and sacrifice. Although he doesn't want you to have other beast husbands, he feels that Du Yu's strength can better protect you, so he is willing to control his possessiveness.

Listening to the system's explanation, Xu Wan blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

[Tongzi, why do I feel like... what you said is a little sarcastic?]

The system slowly displayed a speechless emoticon: (¬_¬)

[…Xu Wan, is this what you should be focusing on right now?]

But she felt a pang of jealousy. She shook her head inwardly and turned her attention back to the topic they had just discussed.

"What should we do then?"

She can't see Du Yu now, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't easily break the contract with her; she might even go crazy again.

She didn't want to experience bungee jumping without safety measures again.

"Wanwan, the position of the number one beast husband can only be mine."

Suddenly, the words that Du Yu had said before leaving echoed in her mind.

"If I give it to someone else, I will kill them."

She stared at the bond mark on her body for a while, then quickly shook her head.

"No, I'll go find my mother right now and tell her I'm not going to the prayer meeting."

If she doesn't go to the prayer ceremony, Du Yu won't be able to find her, and she and Zhu You can still survive.

"Wanwan."

Zhu You pulled her back into his arms.

He knew what she was worried about, so he lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

"Wanwan, we'll be alright."

Her voice was muffled, "But he said he was going to kill you all..."

"Before we go to the prayer ceremony, we will find a way to break through the half-king orcs, so that even if we meet them, we can protect you."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to put Xu Wan's mind at ease.

But then I thought, going from a fourth-tier beastman to a half-king beastman isn't that easy.

Upgrade... Beast Crystal... Suddenly she thought of something, released Zhu You and ran into the cave.

The three fourth-tier beast crystals she brought back from the forest last time are still in the animal skin bag.

As Zhu You and the others followed her in, she shoved the beast crystals into their hands.

"Is this enough for you to advance to the level of a half-king orc?"

She remembered that Chen Shuang only used one Tier 3 beast crystal when she upgraded last time.

If this is enough, then Zhuyou and the others can all become half-king beastmen.

Even if Du Yu, that madman, were to besiege the Central Beast City because of Du Yu, she would still be able to escape.

Chen Shuang examined the beast crystal in her hand several times.

"Wanwan, where did you get that? Did you encounter a fourth-tier ferocious beast in the forest?"

The fourth-tier ferocious beast, which had already gained intelligence, stared at her with eyes full of drooling greed; she still dared not think about it a second time.

She unconsciously shrugged her shoulders, nodded, and didn't tell them that she could get high-level beast crystals.

"Yes, Wataru cut it out for me."

Hearing her say that, neither Hu Jiu nor Chen Shuang thought much of it, but Zhu You's eyes darkened.

When he was looking for Wanwan, he saw the corpses of those ferocious beasts, and none of them were fourth-tier.

Du Yu's special ability is wind control, but there are scorched marks all over the ground.

He had seen the firelight that illuminated the sky with his own eyes, so it couldn't have been Du Yu who killed him.

His gaze fell on the little female who was bowing her head and trembling slightly.

If she can produce medicine to treat their wounds, is it also possible that she can produce weapons to kill the ferocious beasts?

The idea startled him; he couldn't believe it, yet the guess seemed increasingly plausible.

He opened his mouth, but only took a deep breath and pulled the person into his arms.

He gave them the beast crystals he had obtained by risking his own safety without any hesitation?

[Candlelight's affection value increased by 3 points, which has been automatically converted into health points. Current health points: 27 days remaining.]

Another one? How come the affection value is like drinking water for Zhuyou?

Xu Wan leaned against him, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, but she still raised her hand to pat his back.

"Zhuyou, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." He tightened his grip on her, and then loosened it after a while.

"Wanwan, these three beast crystals are only enough for one person to advance to the Half-King level. Who do you want to give them to?"

"Huh? Only enough for one person?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xu Wan's eyes. Her gaze swept over the three of them and finally landed on Zhu You.

Seeing this, Hu Jiu and Chen Shuang lowered their eyes, not exactly disappointed, but also somewhat unwilling.

But since Wanwan's favorite is Zhuyou, and he is also the number one beast husband, it is indeed the most suitable for him.

Compared to the other females, Wanwan has been very good to them; they shouldn't be too greedy.

"Who do you think is the most suitable recipient of these three beast crystals?"

The three of them were stunned.

Zhu You looked down at her. "Wanwan, this is the beast crystal you obtained. You can give it to whomever you want."

She shook her head and stepped out of his arms.

"Since there's only enough for one person to upgrade, we need to make the most of it. Let's discuss it together and choose the most suitable person."

She reached out and grabbed Hu Jiu and Chen Shuang.

"We are a family. No matter what happens in the future, we will discuss it together."

"Wanwan..."

Zhu You hugged her from behind and nuzzled her neck.

"Then let's give it to Hu Jiu. Although we're both fourth-tier, his strength is the highest among the three of us."
