After transmigrating into the body of a wicked female, her beast husband's affection level incr

Xu Wan hadn't run far when someone grabbed her wrist from behind.

Looking back, Ye Bai had already transformed into his beast form and was crouching down, waiting for her to come up.

His voice was short and low, "Let's go back."

"good!"

Not daring to waste any time, she quickly climbed up and sat down. "Let's go."

The wind whistled past on both sides, the scenery rushed by, and Xu Wan felt her heart leap into her throat.

She and Du Yu had not formally formed a bond, so she naturally had no way of knowing his current situation.

Logically speaking, the combat power of the half-king orcs is already at the ceiling level on this continent.

Du Yu has more combat experience than most people, so even a King Beastman wouldn't be defeated immediately.

But she just felt a tightness in her chest, and she couldn't explain why.

She couldn't help but touch her chest.

She clearly doesn't have much affection for Du Yu, so why... is she so worried?

She shook her head, simply attributing this feeling to her anxiety that if something happened to Dark Night City, she wouldn't be able to get the items.

"Night White, faster."

Is she really that worried about Wataru?

The white tiger's amber eyes darkened, but its running speed increased even further.

The closer they got to Dark Night City, the clearer the sounds of fighting and screams became.

"Night White, stop now."

They don't know what's going on inside yet, so they can't rush in rashly.

She found a secluded spot nearby and had Ye Bai put her down. She squatted down, grabbed a handful of black mud, and smeared it on her face.

Ye Bai's voice came down from above her head, "What are you doing?"

"Of course, it's disguising oneself as male."

She rubbed the mud onto her cheekbone, saying, "This will make it easier for me to help you rescue people."

Ye Bai glanced at her. "No need."

Her skeleton clearly indicated she was female, so this disguise was essentially pointless.

He raised his hand and wiped the black dirt from the corner of her eye. "Dirty."

"Oops, I got some flowers."

Xu Wan felt her comprehension skills had improved dramatically; she was actually able to understand what Ye Bai was saying.

She turned her head away slightly and continued applying the product to her face.

"Then we should at least pretend."

Without a mirror, she could only rely on her touch to smooth out any uneven areas.

"I need to make myself look ugly, otherwise what if someone steals such a pretty little female like me?"

Feeling that she had applied the cream enough, she looked up at Ye Bai.

"How do I look? Am I ugly? Do I look so bad I want to vomit?"

Her face was covered in unevenly distributed black mud, making her fair complexion look filthy.

But looking into those blue eyes, he automatically ignored the dirt on her face.

"...Not ugly."

Not only is she not ugly, but she also makes people want to wash her face clean and see what's hidden under the black mud.

He didn't understand either. How could a half-king beastman like him not be able to protect her?

The white night in my consciousness gloated.

"Du Yu is her beastly husband, and you're not. If you don't say anything, how will she know if you'll protect her?"

He seized the opportunity to make a demand: "Release me now. I'll tell you what you won't tell me. I can still protect her."

Ye Bai pursed his lips, realizing for the first time that what this guy said made sense.

He silenced Bai Ye's incessant chatter, squatted down in front of Xu Wan, and uttered the longest sentence he had ever spoken.

"I will protect you."

Bai Ye chuckled in exasperation after waiting for ages without hearing a word. "Why don't you say a few more words?"

Hurry up and coax her, and it would be best to take this opportunity to get the little female to agree to let him be her beast husband.

If that madman Du Yu knew, his expression would be priceless!

Xu Wan never expected Ye Bai to say such a thing.

However, his clear stance will greatly assist her in what she wants to do next.

Despite Ye Bai saying she wasn't ugly, she still didn't intend to wipe the mud off her face.

What if the other person has a soft spot for her?

Maybe I am really ugly, so ugly that I can scare people away?

Xu Wan walked ahead, taking a moment to glance at her mall points.

She hasn't spent much money since returning from the forest, and has now saved over 4, enough to buy eight or ten upgraded firearms.

In principle, she couldn't defeat those orcs, but now, the principle was in her hands!

With the weapon in hand, even the anxiety she had been feeling eased somewhat, and her steps became much lighter.

Ye Bai followed two steps behind her, watching her lighthearted demeanor, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Weren't they going to rescue people? Why doesn't the little female seem nervous at all?

The system, having witnessed everything, couldn't help but facepalm.

[Xu Wan, aren't you being a little too calm? You're female, aren't you afraid? Show some emotion!]

Xu Wan blinked thoughtfully, then suddenly turned and ran back to Ye Bai's side, grabbing his arm tightly.

"Oh dear, I'm so scared!"

System: 【(→_→;) Xu Wan, your acting is so bad, how could Ye Bai possibly believe it…】

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Bai nodded and patted the back of her hand. "I will protect you."

System: 【…(｡◕●◕｡) My nose feels red.】

The city of Dark Night was even more chaotic than Xu Wan had imagined. Most of the stone houses where they lived had collapsed, and the ground was covered with rubble.

She looked up and saw that the fighting to the south was still going on.

If she wasn't mistaken, Du Yu should be there.

If she's lucky, she might be able to find something that can help reduce the attraction of the ferocious beast.

"Ye Bai, let's go find Du Yu."

He nodded, turned around, bent down, and picked her up in his arms.

The feeling of weightlessness made her gasp softly, and she instinctively reached out to hug his neck.

"What's wrong?"

"You're walking too slowly, I'll carry you."

He carried her forward, his steps quick and steady.

You would never guess that just a few hours ago, he was being extremely careful, afraid that he might drop her.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask why she didn't transform into her beast form, which would make fighting easier.

She thought about it for a moment, but still didn't ask, and nestled obediently in Ye Bai's arms.

What if they just like fighting in human form?

After the two people walked away, several people got up from the corner.

"Go tell them quickly, we've found Bai Ye!"

At this moment, Du Yu hovered in mid-air, looking at the group of winged beastmen surrounding him.

Despite their low rank, they all seemed to have a grudge against him, recklessly throwing themselves at him.

"court death!"

There were also orcs on the ground constantly trying to ambush him and drag him down from the air.

He was thoroughly annoyed by the opponent's relentless attacks.

Just as he was thinking of throwing all the wind blades out, several bolts of lightning suddenly struck down from afar.

Before the winged orcs who were struck could react, they plummeted straight to the ground.

Du Yu suddenly looked down at the figure standing on the ground.

He lunged at him, his voice sounding as if squeezed from his throat.

"Who sent you? Where is she?"
