Xing Lian didn’t know what Yue Li was thinking. Seeing her lost in thought, she assumed she was worried and wanted to comfort her in her own way.
She leaned gently against Yue Li, lifted her head, and kissed her cheek.
Feeling the wetness on her cheek, Yue Li looked down at her.
“Why the sudden kiss? You want it?”
Want it? She didn’t want that at all.
Xing Lian shook her head.
“I just wanted to comfort you.”
Comfort? What comfort?
Yue Li didn’t understand, but she didn’t feel like digging deeper.
Thinking Xing Lian wanted affection after that kiss on the cheek, she directly pulled her into her arms and leaned down to kiss her.
“Mmph…”
Their breaths mingled. It was fine at first, but Yue Li wouldn’t let go, and Xing Lian gradually couldn’t breathe.
Fortunately, it didn’t last long. Before she could pass out, Yue Li lifted her head.
“Are you trying to suffocate me?”
Xing Lian punched her chest.
Yue Li smiled.
“Suffocate you? How could I? I just wanted to show you some love.”
With that, Yue Li leaned down again, and this time, she didn’t let Xing Lian off easy.
She doted on her fiercely for two hours before finally pulling up her skirt, feeling refreshed.
Xing Lian’s eyes were hazy now, and she had no strength left in her body.
Seeing her disheveled state, Yue Li scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom to bathe her.
That night, Xing Lian slept deeply and soundly.
By the next day, Yue Li made Xing Lian breakfast, then went out to buy supplies. She returned before long.
“I bought a lot of dry rations, some jerky, water, a map, and bedding and clothes that are easy to carry…”
Yue Li came back with large bags and bundles. She’d even bought a carriage.
Seeing all these things, Xing Lian thought the journey ahead wouldn’t be so hard. But something she never expected happened again.
Just as they were about to set out, a thick fog suddenly rose in the town.
“Why does the weather change so suddenly?”
Xing Lian held Yue Li’s hand, her face full of confusion.
It had been sunny just moments ago, but now a dense fog was spreading, growing thicker by the second. Within about 30 feet, she couldn’t see clearly anymore.
‘The weather in this other world is so strange,’ she thought to herself.
Yue Li frowned deeply. She wasn’t as naive as Xing Lian.
Fog in broad daylight—it was far too odd.
And it came too fast, not like a natural phenomenon at all, more like…
“The special ability of a Transcendental Beast Girl.”
Yue Li muttered to herself.
“What?”
Xing Lian didn’t catch it.
“We need to leave quickly.”
Feeling uneasy, Yue Li grabbed Xing Lian’s hand, wanting to hurry away.
But before they could pack up, a scream suddenly rang out.
Hearing that familiar sound, Xing Lian felt her skin crawl.
What was wrong with her lately? Why did she keep running into this kind of bad luck?
She didn’t need to see to know what was happening.
In the thick fog, figures flickered in and out of view. The clash of swords rang out, followed by scream after scream, and then the heavy smell of blood.
The enemy was here!
Xing Lian’s heart was full of regret.
If only they’d left yesterday.
Yue Li’s face also darkened. Ignoring the large bags, she grabbed a small bundle and took Xing Lian’s hand, determined to get her out of there.
Xing Lian used her Gemstone Necklace to observe her surroundings. The Beast Girl civilians were panicking—some ran toward their homes, others fled out of town.
Many were killed by the dark figures in the fog. Swords and spears pierced bodies, the scene unbearably bloody.
The sight made Xing Lian want to vomit. She tried to look away, but just then—
“Boom!”
The fog churned and rolled as a massive dark shadow appeared. One claw tore apart several spear-wielding guards.
“Ugh.”
Xing Lian was going to throw up—really throw up.
Deaths by sword were brutal but still barely bearable.
But being crushed to death like that? The sight was so horrific she didn’t want to look, didn’t dare to.
What was that thing?
She focused her attention and got a clear look. It was a giant beast about 15 to 20 feet tall, shaped somewhat like…
“A white dog?”
Xing Lian’s eyes widened.
The moment she spoke, the beast turned its head toward her. Xing Lian happened to look up, and the beast’s mouth suddenly curled into a grin.
“Ah!”
Xing Lian yelped, her body trembling involuntarily.
Had it seen her just now?
It definitely had!
Xing Lian was terrified. She had a bad feeling.
That bad feeling soon came true.
The white dog stopped slaughtering the guards and instead ran straight toward them.
Yue Li sensed the danger and turned to look behind her.
A Transcendental Beast Girl! This was one!
Yue Li’s pupils shrank.
She felt danger from this white dog—not as intense as with Fei, but enough to make her uneasy.
This one was a strong member of the Transcendental Beast Girls.
Realizing this, Yue Li’s expression grew worse.
If she were alone, she wouldn’t care. She’d fight if she could win, run if she couldn’t.
But with Xing Lian by her side, she couldn’t afford to get tangled up.
Run! She had to run fast!
Yue Li didn’t give a damn about a strong person’s pride. Dignity meant nothing compared to her wife’s safety.
She scooped up Xing Lian and bolted.
The white dog hadn’t cared about Xing Lian at first. It had chased her only because it felt someone watching it, which pissed it off, and it wanted to kill the voyeur.
But it hadn’t expected the little one to have a strong protector.
And it certainly hadn’t expected the little one to be so beautiful.
From a distance, it couldn’t see clearly, but after a few steps of pursuit, it got a good look.
Skin white as milk, a delicate and lovely face, bright eyes and white teeth, pitiful and charming…
The moment it saw that face, its mouth watered.
Want it! It wanted her badly!
The white dog chased excitedly, while Yue Li ran desperately out of town.
As one fled and the other chased, the distance between them shrank.
Yue Li was furious.
She was clearly far stronger than this person, but because of Xing Lian, she was held back, chased by someone inferior like a stray dog. Did this beast really think she had no temper?
Fuming, Yue Li released her aura as a silent warning.
‘I’m strong. I’m not afraid of you. Get lost!’
She turned and glared fiercely at the white dog, but it was unmoved.
If it hadn’t seen Xing Lian, it might have hesitated. But after seeing her face, it would never give up.
Having her aura suppressed didn’t mean she was stronger in combat. And even if she were, so what?
She wasn’t alone—she had many teammates.
Seeing she couldn’t scare it off, Yue Li was at a loss. Frustrated, she had no choice but to transform back into her original form, wrapping her tail around Xing Lian and tossing her onto her back.
Without any warning, being flung into the air almost scared Xing Lian to death.
She was furious, but now wasn’t the time to get angry, so she forced herself to hold it in.
Lying on Yue Li’s back, Xing Lian hoped they could escape.
