Xu Wan looked at Bai Ye leaning against her bedroom door, and her lips twitched slightly.

She was just seriously offering her bed to Yang Yan, but it turns out she was planning to sleep in the same room as her.

When he carried Yang Yan back to the house, he was still very disappointed, but now he looks like a dissolute young master again.

She couldn't help but wonder if this person really only had two identities.

What if...one body with multiple lives? Multiple personalities?

She couldn't help but shudder and moved back a little.

"You can sleep outside in your beast form. My bed is too small to fit you."

Bai Ye smiled and took two more steps toward the bedside.

"No, little female, just give me a little space, I won't disturb you."

"I can't."

She refused so readily that it was impossible to tell that she only had ten hours of life left.

Call it being reserved or just putting on an act, but she still couldn't accept sharing a bed with someone she knew absolutely nothing about.

However, there are always exceptions.

She blinked. "You really want to sleep with me?"

"Hmm!" He quickly walked to the bedside and squatted down. "You agree?"

"Then you have to tell me first about your relationship with Ye Bai."

Bai Ye was taken aback for a moment, then quickly returned to his lazy demeanor.

"I've said it before, I only tell the person I'm talking about..."

"I can become your mistress."

Xu Wan interrupted him, "We can establish a bond of kinship first, and then formally form the bond later."

She had thought about it. If she really was the progenitor, then the prophecy Chen Shuang had made must also be true.

As for why the female protagonist is the one who saves the world in the original book... the answer will probably come naturally when she meets her in person.

Originally, she only wanted to find Yun Shu and stop her from going to the prayer meeting.

After returning to Beast City and finding the Heart Stone of the Same Origin, he lived a life of three meals a day and four seasons with Zhuyou and the others in the tribe.

But things have now developed far beyond her expectations.

She has never been the type to sit idly by and wait for death.

If there is a real possibility of facing the Beast King, then she and her own power must become as strong as possible.

Bai Ye is one of her targets, but now it seems she can't just rely on her own wishes anymore.

She could try to get along with that madman Du Yu, so she wanted to try with him too.

But even though she agreed, Bai Ye refused to respond for a long time.

She thought the other person hadn't heard her clearly and was about to repeat it again.

He suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist.

"Little female, do you know what you just said?"

"I know."

She looked into his golden eyes and said, "Bai Ye, I truly mean it; I can be your mistress."

"You can become that, but you don't want to."

He slowly lowered his body, as if trying to see through her eyes.

"Little female, you're trying to use me."

"It's not about exploitation, it's about cooperation."

She admitted frankly, "My beast husband told me that in his prophecy, I would be the savior of the Canglan Continent."

"Savior? Your beast husband is a merman priest?"

He denied it as soon as he finished speaking.

"Impossible. That merman hasn't appeared for nearly a hundred years. He couldn't possibly be your beast husband."

His gaze toward her held a newfound scrutiny and danger.

"Little female, you're lying to me."

She shook her head. "My beast husband is a male wolf, not a merman."

The wolf clan did indeed possess prophetic abilities a long time ago, but that was a long time ago.

But her expression was too serious; it didn't seem like she was lying.

Bai Ye asked Ye Bai in her heart.

What do you think? Is she lying to us?

Ye Bai's response remained concise.

【no. 】

Ha, you actually believe her.

"it is good."

He looked at her again. "Even if what you're saying is true, and you're the savior, what does that have to do with me?"

"Because I need your abilities to help me protect the people I want to protect."

Bai Ye was stunned. He thought she would say that she wanted them to give their lives for her and remove the danger for her.

But he didn't realize that she just wanted him to protect others.

Perhaps he was too surprised, because he couldn't help but ask again.

"...What did you say?"

Xu Wan sighed, "Bai Ye, my mother is the most important person to me, and so are my beast husbands."

Her gaze did not leave him.

"If I am truly the progenitor, whether it's becoming the Beast King or saving this continent, those are matters I must face, and have nothing to do with you."

"I only hope that you can help me protect my tribe and my family, and also protect yourselves."

This was her honest opinion; she never imagined that her beastly husband would fight for her and sacrifice his life.

I just don't know if Bai Ye is willing to believe her.

After a long while, he finally released her wrist, slowly straightened up, and looked down at her.

"Little female, you surely know that if something happens to you, your beastmen will die too, won't you?"

"If that day ever comes, I will break off the contract with you first."

Her tone was calm, as if she had planned everything all along.

"Without the seal of the covenant, aren't you afraid we'll go back on our word?"

Bai Ye didn't notice that his way of addressing her had changed, but she heard it and wasn't in the mood to tease him.

She forced a smile. "So you have to swear you won't hurt my family."

"You've thought of everything."

He hooked her chin and gently caressed her lips with his fingertips.

"And what about you? You little female, don't you ever think about yourself?"

From the time he was thrown into the arena before he reached adulthood, he had seen countless selfish and hypocritical faces.

Exploitation, struggle, and life-or-death battles are more common than eating and drinking.

Even after establishing Dark Night City with Du Yu, the schemes around him only increased.

All those people were scheming and plotting, trying nothing more than to take his place or use his life to exchange for more food and beast crystals.

However, those who dared to plot against him were all killed by him.

But the little female in front of him, in her "calculations", there was the life and death of her tribe, her family, and her beast husband, but not herself.

She didn't seem to care at all, and even winked at him playfully.

"By then, I'll be dead anyway, what's the point of thinking about all that?"

She raised her hand and placed it on his arm, shaking it playfully a couple of times.

"The Rabbit Clan is much better than Dark Night City. So, how about we cooperate?"

In that sense, the stable life and the freedom from the fear of death seem like a bonus for him.

He gave a slight smirk. "What if I don't agree?"

He thought she was angry, but to his surprise, her attitude was more composed than he had expected.

"If you don't want to agree, that's fine. You have the right to choose anyway, and I won't be angry."

As she spoke, she pulled her wrist away, preparing to lie down and rest, but unexpectedly Bai Ye also leaned down.

"Little female, don't you want to know about my relationship with Ye Bai?"

"Yes, I do," she muttered as she turned over.

"But you didn't tell me."

"Turn around, I'll tell you."
