Warden of the Beast World: Everyone is a Hakimi

After feeding her two beloved pets, Ye Tang felt sleepy like a tidal wave.

The air in the Beast World is ridiculously good. There is no industrial pollution, no car exhaust, only the refreshing scent of catnip and the cool breeze from the evaporating spiritual spring water in the yard.

She yawned and walked towards the bedroom, leaving behind the words, "Don't disturb my sleep. I'll cook something delicious for you guys tonight."

"Okay." The dragon and the bird agreed in unison, one lying obediently on the edge of the water tank wagging its tail, and the other squatting on the floor, hugging the blanket and nodding vigorously.

Once Ye Tang's breathing became even and deep, Chi Heng tiptoed up from the floor mat. As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he was met by Qi Xuan, who was peeking half his head out of the water tank. His icy blue vertical pupils emitted a faint, cold light in the dimly lit living room, like two mini searchlights.

"Redhead, where are you going?"

"Shh—" Chi Heng pressed his index finger to his lips and lowered his voice, "I'm going hunting in the forest. Tangtang needs to cook dinner tonight, and we're running out of meat. She's been feeding us more and more lately, and the food in the fridge is almost gone. I can tell even if she doesn't say it."

"Take me with you." Qi Xuan leaped out of the water vat and landed steadily on Chi Heng's shoulder. He wiped the water droplets from his paws on Chi Heng's collar, acting as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"You are a detainee. According to Article 17 of Chapter 3 of the Zero Prison Management Regulations, detainees are not allowed to leave the observation area without permission, let alone leave the prison gate. If Lu Yu finds out, not only will you be locked up again, but Xiao Tangtang will also be punished." Chi Heng said emphatically.

"Red Hair, I am the God of War." Qi Xuan flicked his tail.

"Lord War God, you've regained your memories?" Chi Heng's eyes widened in disbelief. He had just referred to himself as the God of War, a stark contrast to his earlier pronouncements of "Qi Xuan is good" and "Qi Xuan is hungry."

"Just a little bit." Qi Xuan tilted his head. "If you don't take me, I'll go bother my sister." After saying that, he pretended to fly towards the bedroom.

"Alright, alright, you're the boss, let's go. We need to finish this quickly and get back before Xiao Tangtang wakes up." Chi Heng grabbed Qi Xuan, carefully pushed open the courtyard gate, and the bird and dragon transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared into the direction of the forest.

Upon entering the primeval forest, Chi Heng and Qi Xuan were completely unleashed. Chi Heng transformed into beast form and skimmed low over the treetops, his crimson wings casting large swirling shadows among the trees, keenly detecting the tracks of beasts on the ground.

Qi Xuan plunged directly into the depths of the forest, moving freely through the woods thanks to his small size. Although only fragments of his memories had returned, his fighting instincts and hunting instincts in the jungle were already ingrained in his bones.

The dragon and the bird split up, and the wild boar herd was thrown into chaos and scattered. Chi Heng swooped down and pinned down several boars with one claw, while Qi Xuan specifically targeted the youngest wild boars with the tenderest meat.

As the sun set, the two returned laden with their prey. Chi Heng carried a fully grown wild boar on his back, with two fat rabbits hanging from his paws.

Qi Xuan reverted to his true form as a five- or six-meter-long dragon, his tail coiled around a string of pheasants and wild boars tied together with vines, and his mouth holding a package wrapped in large leaves filled with mushrooms of various colors, a little of each color, making it a beautiful and colorful sight.

At this moment, a farce is unfolding at the gate of Prison Zero.

A golden hovercar bearing the imperial crest was parked arrogantly outside the prison gates, with a richly dressed young female standing beside it.

Behind her followed four male beasts dressed in royal guard uniforms, each with A-level combat power, making a grand entrance as if they were raiding someone's home.

This self-proclaimed fourth princess, Locelin, wore a traditional purple-gold robe of the Thunderhawk Clan, with lightning patterns embroidered on the hem. Her hair ornaments were so intricate and exquisite that every feather was perfectly combed. Her face was adorned with extremely fine makeup, and her lips were painted bright red like blood.

Her guards tried to step forward to argue, but were stopped outside the cordon by the research institute's security team. Twelve elite orcs with A-level combat power stood in two rows, with the female wolf captain leading them expressionless, her hand already on the pistol at her waist.

"How dare you! I am the fourth princess of the empire, how dare you stop me!" Locelin's voice was shrill and high-pitched, with a strong penetrating power, so loud that several birds on the branches in the courtyard fluttered away.

Ye Tang was awakened by this "insolence". She sat up in bed groggily, scratching her messy hair. Her personal computer showed that she had only slept for a little over an hour.

She was already very annoyed that her sweet dream had been interrupted, and when she got to the front door and saw the person's face, she rolled her eyes inwardly. Another flat-feathered brat.

The imperial family seems to be the Thunderhawk Clan. Compared to the Skyhawk Clan, which includes the Ground Chickens, the Thunderhawks have darker feathers, and their arrogant and domineering demeanor is completely different. The Ground Chickens are at most just sarcastic and arrogant, but this one really looks like he deserves a beating.

"Your Highness, this is Prison Zero, not your palace. You have trespassed into a military-controlled area, and according to regulations, I have the right to order the guards to take you into custody." Lu Yu was not there, and the guard captain was still stopping people. Ye Tang leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed.

"How dare you! I don't need you to teach me how to do things! Where is Lu Yu? Let Lu Yu come out! I'll have Lu Yu fire you!" Locelin raised her chin, her bright red lips twisted into an extremely contemptuous arc.

Ye Tang laughed. Firing her? That's great! She can quit now and go to the Northern Territory to find You Lie. Anyway, she has hundreds of millions in her account and countless treasures in her spatial storage; she won't starve even if she doesn't work for the rest of her life.

"May I ask, Your Highness, what brings you to Prison Zero?"

"Naturally, I've come to see my fiancé."

"Who is your fiancé?"

"Qi Xuan. Qi Xuan, the God of War of the Empire. I am his fiancée. Let me in." Locelin waved her hand impatiently, as if shooing away an annoying fly.

"No." Ye Tang uttered two words.

"You!" Rosalind was furious. She raised her hand and conjured a ball of lightning energy. Purple-gold arcs of electricity crackled and exploded in her palm, illuminating her gloomy face. She took a step forward, intending to attack Ye Tang, but a tall, slender white figure blocked her way.

"Fourth Prince, please return." Lu Yu was wearing a white military shirt, and his amber eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were as cold as the icy plains of the North. He was usually always polite and refined, but at this moment he even skipped the honorifics.

"Lu Yu, how dare you!" Locelin withdrew the lightning from her palm and pointed at Lu Yu instead. "I've come to see Qi Xuan. He is my fiancé."

"As far as I know, you dissolved your engagement with War God Qi Xuan three years ago. The rules of Zero Prison prohibit visits from non-relatives. Relatives must submit an application three days in advance. You are neither a relative nor have you submitted an application; please leave immediately."

Lu Yu's voice was as calm as if he were reading an official document, each word precisely adhering to the provisions of imperial law.

Rosalind's face turned pale and then flushed. She had indeed unilaterally dissolved the engagement three years ago, immediately after Qi Xuan was corrupted by the fallen beast. It was only through her crying,闹事, and even threatening suicide that she managed to get her mother, the current Emperor, to issue the decree, which was published on the front page of the Imperial Daily for three whole days.

She originally thought Qi Xuan would never regain his senses, and since she had no shortage of beast husbands, she could simply break off the contract. But yesterday, a member of the royal collateral branch who worked at the research institute secretly tipped her off, saying that Qi Xuan's corrupted mental power had recovered, and she immediately started thinking about re-forming the contract.

She had no feelings for Qi Xuan, but his SS-level combat power was her most powerful bargaining chip in her struggle for the throne.

"Lu Yu, you're really something! I think you don't want to be a colonel anymore. I'll tell the Queen Mother!" Locelin threatened fiercely, but her aura was noticeably weaker than before.

"Please go ahead." Lu Yu gestured for the guest to leave.
