T/N: Thank you for the ko-fi, @Maddie!

In the end, Yang QiQi still did not go back to the building ahead of schedule to sleep. She didn’t want to miss any of the upcoming duels, whether it was the one between DuYue City’s Min Ling and Cang City’s YueDu, or the one between WanQing City’s Xu and Xi City’s Xu Wan, not to mention the one between QiuShui City’s Dai Yi and Cang City’s Xiao Yuan.

After experiencing Ling Yue’s massage some time ago, Yang QiQi did not resist at all when he placed her body gently against his chest. She had to admit that he was an extremely considerate and attentive male beastman. He had turned his body to one side so that she could watch the fight in the arena comfortably. At the same time, he had begun rubbing her temple with his fingers, relieving the dizziness and discomfort in her mind.

Yang QiQi was expertly scooped into his arms by the waist, half of her body sticking to his, especially her head, which was nestled in the crook of his neck. They were so near to one another that she could feel the smallest motions in his neck. This kind of doting and accommodating posture had far exceeded the scope of actions that masters and apprentices could do.

Nonetheless, instead of feeling disgusted by Ling Yue’s actions, Yang QiQi felt relaxed and comfortable. But she still hadn’t figured it out yet. Did this count as a relationship between a man and a woman?

Due to the customs of the Beast World and the laws of this Empire, it was impossible for her to only have Nian JiMo and Zheng Shou as her Guardian Beasts. Moreover, she couldn’t keep Ling Yue and the others by her side and let them bear the empty title of her ‘Guardian Beasts’. She didn’t want to delay their chances at life out of her own selfishness. Since she must achieve the five-person limit, Ling Yue was a pretty good candidate. He was gentle, considerate, and incredibly good at cooking… However, the premise of accepting him should be ‘love’, not other feelings like sympathy or familial affection. It would be a humiliation and injustice to him otherwise.

There were only 12 pairs of contenders in the current round. And since they were fighting in the four arenas at the same time, from the first match at 7:00 in the morning to the last one, it only took four hours and five minutes.

The crystal screen displayed the names of twelve females who would be participating in the fifth round the next day:

No. 011, LanJing City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Wa Hu;

No. 012, LanJing City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Mu YouYun;

No. 046, Yun City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Zi Xing;

No. 054, DuYue City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Er Mei;

No. 077, WanQing City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Xu;

No. 120, QiuShui City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Zhong Cui;

No. 122, Pian City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Mei;

No. 156, Han City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Yang QiQi;

No. 170, Xian City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior QingYun;

No. 181 Cang City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior Xiao Yuan;

No. 183, Cang City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior ZiZi;

No. 186 Cang City Saintess Hall’s Female Warrior YueDu.

Seeing the list of contestants who entered the fifth round, Yang QiQi couldn’t hold it anymore. “Give me a piggyback ride to the house.” After she muttered, her head tilted to the side and she handed herself completely to Ling Yue.

“Okay.” Ling Yue agreed, but rather than carrying her on his back as she wanted, he gently carried her in his arms, positioning her face on his chest. Instantly, a bluish green uniform was draped over her, covering the head, face and upper body of the little female beast completely. Ling Yue turned his head and saw Xiang BuChen, who was only wearing his undershirt and smiled lightly. Then he got up and walked towards the exit.

At this time, the other beastmen were also leaving so there was a crowd at the door. In order to prevent the sleeping Yang QiQi from being disturbed, Xu and Xiang BuChen walked on Ling Yue’s left and right while Tu Jin was behind him, forming a protective shield.

Once they were back at the small house, even if Ling Yue was reluctant, he had to hand over the sleeping female to Xiang BuChen. Who told him to be a cook!

This time, Xiang BuChen finally fulfilled his wish of sharing the bed with his beloved little female beast. Unexpectedly, he, who had never had the habit of taking a nap, also dozed off in the light but sweet scent of the little female.

As Yang QiQi’s bodyguard, Xu expressed his ‘respect and devotion to his duties’, so he settled in the chair as before and read the book with a bizarre name. Unlike last time, Tu Jin also insisted on staying in the room. He didn’t have the guts to climb into the bed like Xiang BuChen nor could he be as reserved as Xu and read a book. As a result, he simply knelt beside the bed and set his chin on his hands to look at Yang QiQi’s sleeping face with fascination.

After Ling Yue finished cooking, he came up with the food and drove the three downstairs.

“QiQi, it’s time to eat.” He gently dug her out of the blanket, sat on the bed, and let her sit in his arms with her back against his chest. Then, he held up the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other. Considering that she might fall asleep immediately after finishing her meal, he specially made some thick creamy mushroom soup and purple yam paste. Both of these dishes were easy to digest.

Yang QiQi was dazed when she was dug out of the quilt and made to lean back into a warm and solid embrace. She turned her head and lifted her eyelids to look at the person behind her. Realizing that it was Ling Yue, she loosened up.

She obediently opened her mouth and chewed the sweet and glutinous food that was delivered before swallowing it. In this way, she repeated the movements until the bowl was emptied.

After she finished eating, Ling Yue lay the weak and delicate little female back on the bed and covered her with the blanket. However, he didn’t leave immediately. He stood beside the bed, hesitating for a long time. Finally, he was not able to resist the longing in his heart any longer. He held his breath and bent down to touch her delicate and plump lips lightly.

He moved away as soon as it was touched. But seeing that she was not awakened, he lowered his head and put his lips against hers for a few seconds before slowly rubbing them from side to side. Then, the tip of his tongue slid lightly on her lips and slowly pushed in.

The taste of the food was still present in her mouth, but Ling Yue could distinguish it from her scent. That scent made him feel intoxicated…

All of a sudden, Ling Yue straightened up and look back at the door which was opened at some point. Nian JiMo was standing there, looking at him blankly.

His silver braid was pointing toward the corridor.

Ling Yue was a little embarrassed. He didn’t expect that the first time he became ‘frivolous’ with this little female, he would be caught red-handed by her partner. Looking down at Yang QiQi’s beautiful flowery face, he straightened his back and followed Nian JiMo to the corridor.
