Although both Du Yu and Hu Jiu are half-king beastmen, the former climbed up step by step from the arena.

He built Dark Night City, and almost every wound on his body was evidence of surviving near-death experiences.

Fox Jiu's practical experience was simply no match for him.

In addition, his ability to fly gives him a natural advantage.

Xu Wan was locked in mid-air by his barrier, watching the battle situation on the ground tilt more and more.

Du Yu was able to fight back and forth against three opponents, with two of the wind balls hitting Fox Jiu with full force.

The fiery red fur was instantly stained with blood.

At the same time, a burning, stinging pain shot through the fox mark on her chest.

Du Yu wasn't joking; he really intended to kill them.

She pounded on the barrier desperately, her hands going numb from the pounding, but the barrier remained completely still.

What could possibly stop him?

[Xu Wan... used the bond seal...]

The system's weak voice echoed in her mind.

She didn't have time to ask him about his condition; she closed her eyes and focused her mental energy.

As Du Yu's attack speed slowed down, the barrier trapping her shattered.

The feeling of weightlessness came instantly. Xu Wan's hands twitched twice in the air. The scenery in front of her zoomed in, and she was falling rapidly.

All four called out her name at the same time.

"Wanwan!"

Black feathers unfurled, and Du Yu pulled her firmly into his arms, his hands gripping her waist so tightly they ached.

He gritted his teeth, his voice sounding like it was being squeezed out of his throat.

"Little female, you attacked me with the bond mark for their sake?"

This is the second time; he has never been treated like this by a female before!

He grabbed her chin. "You want to protect them? I'll make sure they die!"

His voice carried a hint of obsessive madness, "You can only have me as your beastly husband..."

"If you kill them, I'll die with them!"

She turned her head to look at him, her tone calm.

"Watana, I told you, no one can hurt my beastman!"

"And what about me?!"

He held her by the back of the neck, their noses touching.

Despite their extremely intimate actions, there was not a trace of affection in their eyes.

"I'm your beastly husband too!"

She was willing to risk her life to protect them, so why did she only treat him coldly and even attack him with the bond mark?

Xu Wan looked up at him, her calm face unchanged.

"So, I'll go with you."

"...What?"

Watari seemed not to have reacted yet, "You just... said you wanted to come with me?"

"Yes."

She didn't look away, nor did she open her eyes wide as before; she simply reiterated her decision.

"Let them go, and I'll go with you, wherever it may be, Dark Night City or anywhere else."

The violence in Du Yu's heart was soothed in an instant, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and a playful smile returned to his face.

"But I feel uncomfortable letting them go."

He raised his hand, his fingertips brushing against the blue snake mark on her collarbone.

The fox mark was hidden at the edge of the animal skin clothing, with only a hint of color showing.

It's obvious without even thinking that the wolf's bond mark must also be on her.

He nuzzled her nose. "Little female, I've said it before, your first beast husband can only be me."

"I can't bear to kill you, so I have no choice but to kill them."

After the first beastman dies, the second beastman will inherit the position of the first beastman.

Since she had formed contracts with all three men, he had no choice but to kill them all.

Xu Wan opened her mouth, but before she could speak, he gently pressed his index finger against her lips.

"Little female, don't say things that will anger me. I'm just asking you, between me and them, who do you choose?"

I choose you.

Without much hesitation, he answered, "Let them live, I choose you."

She glanced down at the three figures on the ground, then quickly looked away.

"The higher the rank of the male, the harder it is for him to get through his heat cycle alone; even if you don't kill him, he will die."

Her tone was calm, as if she were simply stating a fact.

"Rather than killing them and making me hate you, let them suffer through the heat of the season."

"Then, you can become my first beastly husband, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Du Yu stared at her for a long time, then a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Little female, you are indeed smarter than the other females."

If it were anyone else, they would either have fainted from fright or begged him to let them go.

How could I possibly be like her, able to calmly negotiate and analyze with him?

"Okay, I promise you, but..."

He touched his neck. "How can I be sure you won't run away like before?"

The wound she had stabbed him with last time had long since healed, but he couldn't forget the feeling of helplessness when he couldn't even lift his hand.

He didn't want to lose consciousness somewhere again, only to wake up and find her gone.

"I can swear to the progenitor, but before I go with you, you must let me know the extent of their injuries."

He frowned, about to lash out, when the little female in front of him wrapped her arms around his neck and turned her head to kiss his cheek.

"Watana~ You don't want me to treat you like this and ignore you in the future, do you?"

The little female's voice was like a hook, tickling his heart.

He couldn't help but smirk. "Oh~ so Wanwan wants a future with me?"

Before she could speak, he had already grabbed the back of her neck and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Little female, I took it seriously..."

He leaned close to her ear and gently bit the tip of her ear.

"If you lie to me again... you won't want to know the consequences."

Even after they landed on the ground, his hand was still around her waist, showing no intention of letting go.

He suddenly spoke.

"Little female, I've changed my mind. I think it's fine to just let them die like this."

"Then I'll change my mind, and there will be no possibility of us taking things further."

She pushed the person away, quickly walked to Hu Jiu, who was the most seriously injured, and hugged him into her arms.

Fox Jiu had already fainted and was unable to swallow on its own.

She could only lower her head and kiss his lips, transferring the spiritual spring water to him.

As for whether her secret will be discovered, she doesn't care about that now.

Fortunately, the spiritual spring water quickly took effect, and Hu Jiu regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

"Wanwan..."

"I'm here, Fox Spirit is here."

He gripped her wrist tightly, enduring the churning pain within him.

"No... I can't go with him."

Xu Wan's eyes reddened, and she whispered in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"I have a reason to go, Fox Spirit. You must come to Dark Night City to find me..."

She let go of him, then got up and walked to Zhu You and Chen Shuang.

Although their injuries were not serious enough to cause them to fall into a coma, they would die from excessive blood loss if they did not receive treatment.

Du Yu's icy voice rang out from behind.

"Little female, if you dare to kiss them, I'll kill them right now."

Xu Wan took a deep breath and handed them the sheepskin pouch containing the spiritual spring water. "Now, drink it."

She didn't know if the spiritual spring water would still be effective without her, and she could only feel at ease after watching them drink it.

Chen Shuang and Zhu You kept their eyes on her, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

The spiritual spring water took effect quickly, as they watched the people curl up on the ground in pain.

She bit her lip, her eyes red, and looked away.

Wataru walked over curiously. "Little female, what did you give them to drink?"

"poison."

She handed him the leather pouch containing the remaining spiritual spring water, saying, "Drinking it will kill you. Do you dare to drink it?"

Du Yu didn't take it, but the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her up. Before she could even stand properly, he spread his black feathers and flew up.

"I can't bear to die, little female. I'll take you back to Dark Night City."
