The red fox walked with graceful steps, and as it moved, the insect swarm scattered, seemingly terrified.
It spewed a ball of fire from its mouth, burning the spiders and eggs to ashes, producing a series of crackling sounds.
To the beastn present, it was music to their ears!
"My God, I rembered, Shen Li is a fire ability user! These disgusting bugs fear nothing more than fire!"
"When Shen Li first ca to the shelter, he was already a powerful level six peak beastman, he might have broken through to the seventh rank by now?"
"Great, we’re saved! Co on, brothers, let’s kill all these nasty bugs!"
The crowd’s morale surged, and with one push, repelled the insect swarm.
Shen Tang put away the insecticide.
She thoughtfully looked at the remnants of the fire, the bugs were burned into black ash, with no chance of revival. "Even the polluted types were burned so cleanly, is this fire unusual?"
The system didn’t answer imdiately, seemingly reanalyzing the data.
A few minutes later, the system spoke, [The host is very keen; the fire Shen Li used is the Destructive Fire, a top-level fire ability awakening only possible for the royal family of the Yiyuan Empire.]
Surprise flashed in Shen Tang’s eyes.
The Yiyuan Empire is extrely powerful, if not for the Forgotten Sea cutting the continent, war might have spread into the Night Glow Empire’s territory.
But as far as she knew, the rulers of the Yiyuan Empire were the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, and Shen Li was just an ordinary wandering red fox.
Shen Tang beca thoughtful. The original host’s beast husbands were all quite extraordinary; even this seemingly gentle and easygoing childhood friend harbored secrets from her.
Everyone has secrets; Shen Tang’s task is rely to conquer the male lead, no need to dig deep.
After clearing the battlefield, Xiao Jin returned as well.
He threw a large bloody mass on the ground, his right hand transforming into a sharp claw, which plunged into its abdon to extract a purple crystal core, and finally set it ablaze, burning the corpse completely.
This was the mastermind behind the chaos—a tier-S mutant insect mother.
Only by killing it thoroughly would the insect swarm stop reproducing.
"Xiao Jin, you’re amazing, single-handedly killing the insect mother! If it weren’t for you and Shen Li today, we wouldn’t have been able to leave here alive," Shi Yin walked over, looking at Xiao Jin with admiration, her face tinged with shyness.
Xiao Jin looked down at her eager expression, his fierce golden eyes flashing with disdain, a mocking smile at the corner of his lips, "No need for flattery, I don’t enjoy it. If you have the heart, care more for your own beast husband."
Shi Yin’s beast husbands were heavily injured to protect her, yet here she was, turning to fawn over another male, which man could tolerate that?
"What are you doing there? Hurry back and provide us with ntal comfort!"
The man speaking was tall, with a stern countenance and brown hair, Shi Yin’s strongest beast husband, Hu Shuo. A tier-five peak beastman, though not as capable as Shen Li, he was formidable among the beastman warriors in the shelter.
Injured in the abdon, he was in no mood and urged angrily.
Shi Yin, scolded by him, felt annoyed, "Why the rush? I didn’t say I wouldn’t give you spiritual comfort! You’re not in any real trouble!"
She was a noble female; no male could command her. Besides, giving spiritual comfort drained significant energy, and Shi Yin could comfort only one tier-five male or above at a ti, making her inclined to comfort Xiao Jin instead.
If even a wastrel like Shen Tang succeeded, there was no reason she should be any less.
Ignoring her beast husbands’ increasingly sour expressions, Shi Yin gazed affectionately at Xiao Jin, "You certainly don’t want to interact with that ugly Shen Tang; let provide you with spiritual comfort! If you’re willing, I can make you my first main husband!"
Hu Shuo’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "Shi Yin, don’t forget who your beast husband is!"
The onlookers returned gazes with a hint of peculiarity, whispering among themselves.
"Shi Yin is overdoing it; Hu Shuo and the others just finished fighting and need a female’s comfort, yet she refuses them for an outsider."
"The females’ role on the battlefield is to comfort the males; why bring them otherwise?"
"She’s colder to her beast husband than to outsiders."
"I can’t believe I liked her and wanted to be her beast husband, didn’t think she was like this..."
Hearing these words, Shi Yin’s expression changed slightly; she didn’t want her carefully cultivated image to be ruined in a mont.
"No, that’s not what I ant; Hu Shuo, you’re my beast husband. I can provide you with spiritual comfort anyti, but after Xiao Jin fought for so long, I thought about priorities..." Shi Yin bit her lip, defending herself.
"Alright, I know your heart is with everyone, wanting to contribute more to the shelter, but it’s not urgent; Hu Shuo and the others need your spiritual comfort now," the City Lord ca over, patting her shoulder, offering an excuse to back down.
Shi Yin wasn’t foolish, hastily accepting the excuse. Before leaving, she unwillingly glanced at Xiao Jin, secretly vowing in her heart.
This man would be hers sooner or later!
Watching the father-daughter duo’s exchange, Xiao Jin’s eyes flashed with scorn.
All females under the heavens are such hypocritical, dull creatures.
Xiao Jin turned to leave.
He walked to a tree.
Suddenly, he heard soone urgently calling his na.
"Ah ah ah—Xiao Jin save !"
The black panther ears atop Xiao Jin’s head twitched, looking up to the top of the tree, his mouth twitching.
"Shen Tang? Are you looking to die, climbing so high?" he sneered coldly.
More bewildering to Xiao Jin was how this female, in her current state, managed to climb up there?
"Do you think I wanted to climb so high? If I didn’t hide here, those insects would’ve devoured ," Shen Tang mumbled in grievance.
Other females had beast husbands protecting them closely; yet, for her, not one of them protected her. She could only fend for herself.
Xiao Jin urged coldly, "Quit dawdling and get down quickly. The group will be moving soon, can’t wait for you."
Shen Tang’s face turned pale, "It’s so high; how am I supposed to get down?"
Xiao Jin looked annoyed, "The way you got up is how you get down."
"No, no, I—I’m afraid of heights!" Shen Tang glanced down, almost fainting, her voice trembling.
"Tch, weren’t you quite bold before?" Seeing her cowardly appearance, Xiao Jin’s impatience slightly relented, replaced with a hint of teasing.
"Such a troubleso person." He stepped forward, spread his arms, revealing a roguish grin, "Close your eyes and jump, I’ll catch you."
Seeing the man’s mischievous smile, Shen Tang’s mouth twitched slightly. Did he think she was stupid?
This jerk was deliberately teasing her, playing tricks on her!
Jumping from such a height, if he missed, she’d be dead!
Life is not a ga; Shen Tang dared not entrust her life to this malicious man.
"Shen Tang, why are you in the tree?" Shen Li and the others also arrived.
