Bai Ye, to be precise, should be Ye Bai's experience, which is pretty much what Xu Wan guessed.

The person who gave birth to him wanted to exchange a high-level beast crystal for a piece of clothing.

A quiet, introverted cub, not yet fully grown, was thrown into the blood-soaked arena.

Nobody thought he would survive.

But ironically, from his very first match, he displayed the strength of a third-tier orc.

He was not yet an adult at that time.

The people in the arena thought they had met a genius, but little did they know that the boy in front of them had another personality inside his body.

"When I was little, Ye Bai was afraid to sleep, so she would talk to herself in her mind. That's when I appeared."

Bai Ye sat on the floor, leaning against the edge of the bed.

"It's just that Ye Bai doesn't like to talk to others. Over time, I've become more like the original owner of this body."

"And what about Wataru? How did you two meet?"

Xu Wan leaned over the bed, unable to contain her curiosity, "I remember he was in the arena too."

"Him? He's a complete madman."

Bai Ye chuckled, "I've never seen anyone win a duel and then refuse food, only asking for beast crystals."

"Don't want...food?"

"Yes, the winner can choose between food or beast crystals. He only wanted beast crystals and relied on leveling up to survive hunger and injury."

He seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to look at her.

"The day he became a fourth-tier orc, the arena thought they were going to make a fortune, but that very night, he came to me with a bunch of beast crystals that he didn't know where he got them from, and asked me a question."

"What did you say?"

"Do you want to die here, or fight your way out with him?"

His choice was obvious; Xu Wan could almost see it: the two boys joined forces, their eyes bloodshot in the darkness.

You can rush out and breathe the outside air; that's called freedom.

"Are you injured?"

She heard herself ask.

"They didn't fight their way out from there."

The implication is that after they fought their way out, there will be...

She didn't understand. "Why?"

"Because it absorbed too many beast crystals, the energy has exceeded the body's capacity."

After leaving the arena, with nowhere to release their excess energy, he and Du Yu nearly exploded and died.

Fortunately, the Beast Forest was not far from the Colosseum at that time.

The two of them spent three days killing ferocious beasts in the forest before they could finally release all the energy they had been carrying.

He recounted the near-death experience in a few words, downplaying it as if he didn't care at all.

But the little female next to him poked his cheek and said something to him with a smile.

"Bai Ye, you and Ye Bai have both worked hard. From now on... good days will come."

At that moment, that beating heart planted a seed that belonged only to the little female before it.

He heard himself laugh out loud, the corners of his mouth curving wider and wider.

The little female frowned and lightly punched his shoulder. "Yang Yan is still sleeping, keep your voice down."

He nodded, but still couldn't suppress his emotions much.

"Little female, do you still stand by what you just said?"

"What?"

She paused for a moment, then realized what he meant and nodded at him.

"Yes, I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I can swear to the progenitor."

Meeting Bai Ye's teasing gaze, she felt inexplicably guilty.

If what Yang Yan said is true, then isn't she just swearing to herself?

If I fail to do so, will I still be punished?

"Or, it's also possible that Kagerou misread it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Ye had already taken her hand and placed it on his heart.

"Let's choose this place for the bond seal."

Thinking of something, he smiled and said, "Little female, you deliberately chose the forehead as the bond mark for Du Yu, didn't you?"

She laughed too, "Was he laughed at by others after he came back?"

"He kept himself locked in his room and asked me to catch a fox-type beastman with illusion abilities for him."

Bai Ye also touched his forehead.

"At first it didn't work. He said he was ashamed and wouldn't go out, but he touched the mark every day and told me to make sure he didn't forget himself."

"..."

They really are brothers; their narcissism is exactly the same.

She shook her head silently to herself, her tone somewhat helpless.

"I finally escaped from the ferocious beast, but he took me back. I was angry, so I wanted to use the bond mark to restrain him."

"That's exactly what that madman would do."

"Let's not talk about him anymore."

Xu Wan pressed her hand on his chest with a little more force. "I'm about to start. It's not too late to back out now."

"It's too late."

Bai Ye sat up, propped himself up on the bed with his hands, and bent over to look at her.

"From the day I decided to form a bond with you, I never thought of finding someone else to be my master."

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and began to release her mental energy.

Beneath the animal skin clothing, a light blue rabbit mark appeared on his chest.

He glanced down at it, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Little female, you're mine now."

Xu Wan opened her eyes, smiled, and shook her index finger. "I misspoke. I'll give you another chance."

Bai Ye lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose. "Little female, I'm your beast husband now."

She stopped, satisfied. "That's more like it."

"Little female."

He suddenly called out to her, "You still haven't told me your name."

His gaze fell on her lips, and his voice lowered.

"Watana doesn't know your name either, right?"

She blinked, a hint of cunning in her sea-blue eyes.

"Hmm, so... do you want to know my name before he does?"

Bai Ye's breathing quickened, and he leaned closer, their noses touching.

"Yes, so...can you tell me?"

She felt her mischievous thoughts resurfacing; she wanted to tease him.

How much do you want to know?

The other person was clearly getting impatient and was about to kiss her when she raised her hand to cover her lips.

"No, you have to answer my question first."

Bai Ye's warm breath fell on the back of her hand.

"I really want to, I really want to, I can't hold back anymore..."

Hearing this answer, she smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling. "What would you do if I didn't tell you?"

"Little female..."

Bai Ye's voice was incredibly hoarse, and the tip of his nose brushed against the back of her hand intermittently.

"Tell me, what do I need to do... to find out your name?"

Her voice came from her covered mouth, a little muffled, but clear enough for him to hear.

"How about... you beg me?"

I thought that with his proud nature, he wouldn't agree, and might even think that she was deliberately humiliating him.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye only paused for a second before a slow smile appeared on his lips.

"My lady, please tell me your name..."

Xu Wan admitted that her strange little quirks were satisfied at this moment.

She smiled and tilted her head to kiss his cheek. "Xu Wan, my name is Xu Wan."
