The Captain Beast Girl was no ordinary beast-girl; she possessed extraordinary abilities and her true form was also a dog.
She wasn’t as large as the white dog seen earlier, but only slightly smaller—her beast form was quite imposing.
However, Xing Lian had no interest in looking.
She rode on the large dog, being carried quickly out of the forest.
She thought the woman was taking her to claim a reward, but soon realized something was wrong.
After leaving the forest, the Captain Beast Girl transformed into human form, took off her clothes, and covered Xing Lian’s head to hide her face.
She led her into an occupied border town, avoiding crowded areas as much as possible, dodging left and right until they arrived at a nice-looking small house.
“Little beauty, we’re here.”
The Captain Beast Girl set Xing Lian down.
After steadying herself, Xing Lian instinctively stepped back a few paces and stared at her warily.
“What did you bring me here for?”
Although she could basically guess, she still wanted to confirm.
“I brought you here because I want to claim you. How about being my wife?”
The Captain Beast Girl was very direct.
Xing Lian’s expression changed upon hearing that.
Making her a wife instead of a toy or something else—it was better than she expected, but she still couldn’t agree.
She definitely wouldn’t become a wife.
Just as she was about to refuse, the Captain Beast Girl waved her hand to stop her.
“Don’t make a decision so quickly. Let’s talk about your current situation first.”
Xing Lian blinked, ready to listen.
The Captain Beast Girl continued.
“I received an order to find a beautiful young beast-girl in the forest. That beast-girl must be you. I found you, but I didn’t hand you over because I took a liking to you.”
‘Of course she took a liking to me—I’m that beautiful.’
The Captain Beast Girl went on.
“I hid you away secretly, taking a huge risk and giving up a major achievement that was within easy reach. You should be grateful to me.”
“After all, if I had offered you up, you would have certainly suffered terribly. You’re so beautiful—everyone would want to bully you. You’d be passed around by countless people. The higher-ups play very rough and are perverted too. Do you think you could handle that?”
Xing Lian’s face turned pale.
‘Passed around? Rough? Perverted?’
Hearing those words, she imagined many things in her mind.
The more she thought, the more scared she became, and her body couldn’t stop trembling.
Seeing Xing Lian’s fear, the Captain Beast Girl smiled silently, walked over, and pulled Xing Lian into her arms.
“Don’t be afraid. I didn’t mean to offer you up. With your looks and no ability to protect yourself, you’re destined to find a strong person to rely on.”
“Although I’m not exactly a strong person, I do have a bit of authority. As long as I’m careful and don’t let anyone see your face, I can protect you and give you a peaceful, prosperous life.”
“Is it better to serve a group of people or to serve just me? Think it over carefully.”
With that, the Captain Beast Girl turned and left.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to spend more time with the little beauty, but she needed to deal with the trouble the little beauty had brought.
Since she had decided to keep the beauty, she of course had to take care of the aftermath.
Having dealt with the two beast-girl soldiers, she still couldn’t feel at ease. Who knew if anyone else had seen the beauty? She had to go out and check the situation.
Moreover, the little beauty needed time to think. Hopefully, she would see reason and willingly serve her.
Of course, even if she wasn’t willing, she wouldn’t let her go.
Having seen the most beautiful woman in the world and having the chance to have her, no one would give up.
The Captain Beast Girl left, but Xing Lian fell into deep hesitation.
However, there really wasn’t much to hesitate about.
Although she said she was given a choice, she actually had no choice.
Serve a group of people or serve one person—any normal person knew what to choose.
Of course, Xing Lian wasn’t stupid. She knew she couldn’t fully trust the other’s words.
Would she really have to serve a group of people if handed over? Were they really that perverted?
That might just be an exaggeration to make her choose the Captain.
But that suited her just fine.
Being hidden away by the Captain Beast Girl, she only had to deal with one person and still had a chance to escape.
Compared to the uncertain unknown, she would naturally choose the known.
But…
Could this person be trusted?
She had only met her once and spent less than an hour with her. She had no idea what kind of person she really was.
What if her kindness was just an act? What if, if she chose her, she would be bullied tonight?
Her heart was very unsettled, but she didn’t dwell on this feeling for long.
She hadn’t slept in a bed for so long. There was a bed in the room. Sitting on the soft, large bed and stroking the fluffy quilt, Xing Lian felt a deep longing.
She closed her eyes in exhaustion, wrapped in the soft bedding, and soon drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up again, it was very late. Looking at the sky outside, it must be around dusk.
Xing Lian had slept very comfortably, but the situation after waking up was somewhat bad.
She hadn’t eaten anything all day. Her stomach growled loudly. She looked around the room and found nothing but furniture.
Knowing she couldn’t be seen, she didn’t dare go out. Moreover, the door was locked from the outside, so she couldn’t leave anyway.
No choice but to drink more water.
After several glasses, she felt a bit better, but drinking too much water soon made her need to pee.
“Mm, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable.”
Xing Lian held her lower abdomen, searched around, and found the bathroom.
After taking care of her biological needs, she had nothing to do and sat in the room waiting bored.
The waiting process was agonizing. Not knowing what would happen to her or what her future held, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
But fortunately, everything would eventually come to a conclusion. As the sky gradually darkened, the Captain Beast Girl finally arrived.
Xing Lian was immediately drawn to her.
To be precise, she was drawn to the oil paper package in her hand.
The package emitted steam and a fragrant smell. Xing Lian’s eyes lit up.
She smelled delicious meat! Was it meat bought for her to eat?
After so many days in the forest eating only fruit, she was dying for some meat.
But even though she was craving it, she didn’t rush to snatch it—after all, they were still strangers.
“Why aren’t you coming over? Don’t you want to eat? I bought this especially for you.”
The Captain Beast Girl opened the oil paper package, revealing a fragrant roasted chicken inside.
Xing Lian swallowed her saliva. She wanted to be reserved, but she was too hungry to hold back.
“Thank you, I want to eat.”
After saying that, she reached out her hand.
Upon hearing this, the Captain Beast Girl’s eyes grew deep.
Not only is she beautiful, but her temperament is also this good.
Even though she had been forcibly taken and imprisoned, with no goodwill toward her captor—they were even enemies—she was still being polite. This really was a rare good girl.
