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

Ye Bai didn't even spare him a glance.

His gaze swept over the tree in front of him, and only after confirming that the person was still safely in the same spot did his expression soften slightly.

Du Yu followed his gaze to the little female sitting in the tree.

"What did you put on your face? It looks awful."

He looked away. "I can handle this. You just need to protect her."

Ye Bai then glanced at him. "She wants to save you."

The implication was that he wouldn't have come to collect his body if the little female hadn't insisted.

The orcs on the ground were approaching. Du Yu focused his attention, gathering a ball of wind in his hand. He no longer intended to hide his strength and prepared to finish the battle quickly.

"You'd better make sure she's alright, otherwise..."

He wouldn't care whether Bai Ye lived or died.

Xu Wan sat in the tree, watching Du Yu and Ye Bai form a semi-circular defensive line centered on her.

She had considered sneaking away, but seeing the Night White landmines launching indiscriminate attacks...

She felt that if she ran away, there was a very high chance she would be struck by lightning.

She didn't want to become a piece of roasted meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so after thinking about it, she decided to hide in the tree and wait and see.

After no longer concealing his strength, Du Yu unleashed his full power, with wind blades wrapped in lightning, doubling his destructive force.

Those orcs who thought he was a fourth-tier orc had no idea how he could instantly transform into a half-king orc before they were already dead.

Xu Wan stared intently at the close-up battle scene, feeling as if she were watching a top-notch special effects blockbuster.

However, it was a bit uncomfortable to be in the Beast City's perspective, so she chose to empathize with Du Yu and Ye Bai.

I thought the battle would end quickly, but I didn't expect that Beast City had a backup plan.

Looking at the orcs who had surrounded them, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

If the purpose is simply to ensure the smooth running of the prayer meeting and to serve as a deterrent, why mobilize so many people?

The current posture of going all out and determined to kill Du Yu and the other two is almost like a coup d'état.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could there be a traitor within Dark Night City?

If her guess is correct, then the other party must have reached some kind of cooperation with Beast City.

That's why Du Yu and Ye Bai had to die; otherwise, it would be the traitor who would die.

She shook her head and clicked her tongue inwardly.

In Duyu, the city lord, there are always people plotting to seize power.

Xu Wan has a habit of fidgeting when she's thinking. She sat on a tree with her legs dangling in the air, swaying slightly unconsciously.

Something fell from her feet and landed on the ground with a "thud".

It was very light; under normal circumstances, no one would notice such a small noise.

But now, surrounding them under the tree are hundreds of orcs.

The tense atmosphere between the two sides has reached its peak, and naturally any slight movement will be magnified infinitely.

Someone immediately looked up at the sound, "It's a female! There's a female in the tree!"

Xu Wan was incredibly nervous to suddenly receive so much attention.

She raised her hand somewhat awkwardly and greeted them.

"Hi……"

Someone immediately shouted, "I saw her come in with Bai Ye! She must be Du Yu and Bai Ye's female!"

"Kill her! If you kill her, they will all die!"

She was momentarily stunned when she saw the focus of the criticism shift to her.

"Tsk."

She shook her head, her smile not reaching her eyes.

"I used to think Beast City was some kind of good place, but now it seems... it's just a bunch of idiots who will do anything to achieve their goals."

The orc didn't understand her four-character idiom, "What do you mean, 'not up to par'? Get him!"

Du Yu and Ye Bai simultaneously deployed their barriers. Du Yu turned to look at her, "Little female, run!"

These orcs are only at the fourth rank at most, and the two of them can handle them.

But if a fight breaks out, he can't guarantee she won't be caught in the crossfire.

Rather than staying here and distracting them, it's better to let her run first, and then go find her after they've dealt with these troubles.

Xu Wan thought that according to his personality...

Now that he had finally managed to bring her back, he would rather die with her than allow her to leave his sight even for a moment.

But now...

She jumped down from the tree, and Du Yu's wind caught her.

Once she had regained her footing, she turned and ran.

Du Yu watched her retreating figure and gave a self-deprecating twitch of his lips.

He knew she had lied to him again.

Just as a thought of regret crossed my mind, I heard the little female's voice.

"Watana, I'll consider this a pinky promise. You two aren't allowed to get hurt, and you'll have to come find me!"

His dark eyes flashed almost imperceptibly, and the corners of his lips curved involuntarily.

"……good."

He'll go find her if they've made a pinky promise.

He gathered wind in his palm and glanced at Ye Bai beside him.

"Let's cooperate. The sooner we deal with these guys, the sooner we can go find her."

Ye Bai didn't respond to him, and charged forward while wielding lightning.

What is a pinky promise? Judging from Du Yu's expression, it must be something that requires two people to do together.

But the little female didn't tell him why. Couldn't he make a pinky promise with her?

His thoughts were growing wildly in his mind like weeds, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

I just felt like something was blocking my chest, making me feel suffocated.

Every time this thought popped into his head, the thunder he unleashed became heavier.

Looking at Ye Bai, who was already on a killing spree and showed no signs of fatigue.

Du Yu simply found a tree and leaned against it, watching the opponent's attack as if it were a show.

With a flick of his fingertip every now and then, a wind blade instantly sliced ​​through the neck of the orc who was trying to attack him.

Ye Bai dealt with two-thirds of the hundreds of orcs all by himself.

When the battle ended, Ye Bai seemed completely exhausted, kneeling on the ground, his breathing unsteady.

Du Yu glanced at him, and after confirming that he had just overused his powers and was not in any danger, she turned and left.

He had made an appointment with the little female; he was going to find her.

He had only taken a few steps when a bolt of lightning struck his feet.

He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and met Bai Ye's teasing, golden eyes.

"Hey, lend me a hand!"

Seeing that he didn't move, Bai Ye clicked his tongue and lay down on the ground, gazing at the sky.

"Some people forget their brothers once they have a mistress."

He turned his head to look at him.

"If I really die, who will rebuild Dark Night City for you? You won't have time for the little female then, and she..."

A gust of wind precisely smeared it onto his mouth.

Bai Ye: "Hmm? Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..." (Watari, do you want to fight?!)

Frowning at his noise, Du Yu simply used the wind to pull him up, saying, "Shut up!"

He has to go find a little female; he doesn't have time to play around with him here.

On the other side, Xu Wan ran wildly along the markings on the system map.

My throat, which had only recently recovered, gradually felt like it was stuffed with a red-hot wire, making even breathing painful.

She stopped, placed her hands on her knees, and gasped for breath to calm herself.

"No, I can't go on like this, I need to rest..."

If she keeps running, she'll probably collapse from exhaustion before she even finds what she's looking for.

She leaned against the tree and drank two mouthfuls of the spiritual spring water.

While waiting for her physical strength to recover, she opened the system map, wanting to see if she could find a shorter route.

"The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. So, if I take this route..."

[Xu Wan, danger! Get out of the way!]

She suddenly turned to the side, and a pair of sharp claws just barely grazed her eyes.

Before they could even catch their breath, the winged orc opposite them withdrew his hand with a hint of regret.

He slowly shook his neck.

"Little female...you won't be able to escape this time."
