“It is one of the necessary skills for every outstanding male beastman to use all available means to compete for favour and seize all opportunities to be cute.” — Zheng Shou,《The Law of Hunting a Wife》

———————————

Mei BaoQin understood that he still belonged to the category of people whom she would not teach.

He didn’t get annoyed, but switched the topic. “Although Cui Nan, Zhu Nuo and Liu Feng are dead, Yan Sanyue, who escaped, will not give up. He will definitely encourage as many people as possible to besiege us and snatch QiQi away.”

“I apologize for letting him escape.” Nian JiMo lowered his head.

“Don’t say that. You had tried your best.” Yang QiQi comforted him.

“I have notified the captain of the Prison Guards. If they are smart, they will get here before dark.” Mei BaoQin looked at Yang QiQi and said nonchalantly, “Before they arrive, I will serve as QiQi’s temporary guardian.”

“Just a temporary guardian? Mei BaoQin, why don’t you come with us? Don’t you want to be QiQi’s guardian beast?”

Yang QiQi was a little bit dumbfounded when she heard the anger in Zheng Shou’s voice. She had never been a popular choice for being a partner, so it would be strange if every male beastman starts falling in love with her.

However, she was also curious as to why Mei BaoQin refused to become her guardian beast. After all, she could help him get rid of his imprisonment and leave the Saintess Forest.

Mei BaoQin calmly accepted the gazes of the three of them, and unhurriedly sliced the meat on the plate, “No male can refuse to be QiQi’s guardian beast, but I have a reason to not go out of the Saintess Forest. It’s just that it’s inconvenient to tell you all about it now. I hope you will remember my favour after you go out and return it when the time is up.”

“Mei BaoQin, have you really decided on that?” Zheng Shou’s tone was still a little bad.

Mei BaoQin looked at him in silence.

Zheng Shou snorted. “I think you haven’t figured it out yet. Now, let alone we don’t give you a chance to change your mind, you can also change your mind before we leave.” He paused and added, “Don’t just announce that because you are embarrassed to say it loud.”

“Okay, I see.” He felt warm in his heart. Both Nian JiMo and Zheng Shou really regarded him as a close brother. They thought of him as soon as they met Yang QiQi.

However, his problems were too complicated so he didn’t want to involve them.

“Okay, Brother Shou. Mei BaoQin has his own reasons. He knows what he is doing.” Nian JiMo put down his knife and fork, stood up with a poker face, and hugged Yang QiQi away from Zheng Shou’s arms. “The person who completes his meal the last will clean up after the rest of us.”

As soon as Nian JiMo’s voice fell, Zheng Shou jumped up: “That… Mei BaoQin ah, you should eat slowly. Eating too fast is not too good for digestion. We still have a few hours before leaving so we will go to the room and take a short rest.”

Seeing the two rushing upstairs with the little female hurriedly, Mei BaoQin added, “You can sleep in my room. The bed is bigger there.”

He knew that those two will definitely rush to sleep together with Yang QiQi so he informed them beforehand. Otherwise they would break down the small bed in the guestroom.

Sighing deeply, he tossed the fork on the plate in which the meat was sliced neatly. He looked around the place before looking out the window. It was quiet and comfortable with an unique scenery, but to him, it was just a gorgeous cage that imprisoned him and snatched away his freedom.

There was still a time limit for others to serve, but he had to remain here indefinitely.

As long as he was not convinced, he would never go out.

But some things are more valuable to him than his own freedom, so he had no regrets for choice.
