Chapter 286: Just Bear With It
Chapter 286: Just Bear With It
Sangze just stared at Qiao Xixi, saying nothing.
A beast husband had no right to refuse his female master taking a new one.
Seeing Sangze’s pained and nervous expression, Qiao Xixi felt a pang of guilt, as if she’d been caught having an affair. ’But I haven’t even done anything!’
Just when Qiao Xixi thought Sangze wouldn’t say a word, he suddenly spoke up. "We’re both 3-star beast souls. If you want to become the Clan Leader’s husband, you’ll have to defeat me first."
Qiao Xixi stared at him in surprise. ’Since when did the usual Sangze say things like that?’
Upon hearing this, the Hua Bao male stood up and looked at Sangze. "Fine."
"Sangze..."
Sangze looked at Qiao Xixi and frowned. "Xixi, don’t worry. I won’t actually hurt him."
Qiao Xixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’What is this all about?’
"I’m worried about you, you idiot."
When Sangze heard her say that, his downcast expression vanished, and he started smiling again.
But he quickly turned serious again. "Xixi, rest assured, I will definitely defeat him!"
The two males chose an empty patch of ground.
"Let’s begin."
The moment Sangze finished speaking, the Hua Bao male threw a punch.
The commotion attracted the cubs’ attention. Seeing his father suddenly fighting someone, Sangqi hurried over.
"Mother, why are Father and that male fighting?"
Qiao Xixi couldn’t very well tell her cub that the Hua Bao male wanted to be her husband, so she just said, "Oh, they’re just sparring to improve their combat skills."
Hearing that it was just a normal sparring match, Sangqi stopped worrying and went back to play with his younger siblings.
Qiao Xixi had thought that since they were both 3-star beast souls, the fight would be evenly matched. But at the beginning, the Hua Bao’s assault was ferocious. Just when Qiao Xixi thought he was about to gain the upper hand, Sangze launched a powerful counterattack.
And after his counterattack, the Hua Bao was completely powerless to fight back!
THUD!
The Hua Bao male was sent flying.
Sangze performed a swift spin and landed back on the ground. He walked up to the Hua Bao male and looked down on him, his expression completely devoid of its usual clear, simple, and easily bullied look.
"I am the weakest of all the Clan Leader’s husbands. You can’t even defeat me, so what right do you have to become her husband?"
The defeated Hua Bao male had lost all of his previous arrogance. He frowned and stood up. "I admit defeat."
Qiao Xixi walked over and looked at the Hua Bao male. "I already have enough husbands. I won’t be taking any more. You should focus on improving yourself. Sooner or later, you’ll find a female who likes you."
Being rejected so clearly, the Hua Bao male was a little sad. "Thank you, Clan Leader. Rest assured, I will definitely work hard and not disappoint you."
Qiao Xixi nodded and pulled Sangze away.
Sangze glanced down at the hand Qiao Xixi was holding, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curve upward.
"Xixi, I saw some Gugu Beasts up ahead. Do you want to go see if we should catch them?"
"Sure, let’s go take a look."
The two of them walked into the woods and arrived at the spot Sangze had mentioned, but there were no Gugu Beasts anywhere.
Just as Qiao Xixi was feeling confused, the grip on her hand suddenly tightened. Sangze swept her into his arms and leaped up into a large tree. The moment they landed, Sangze’s lips pressed against hers.
Qiao Xixi didn’t refuse. She just slowly closed her eyes, waiting for his next move.
But she waited for a while, and the little fool just kept his lips pressed tightly against hers, not moving at all.
A soft laugh escaped Qiao Xixi’s throat. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently swept the tip of her tongue across his lips.
Sangze’s whole body stiffened. He felt as if every pore on his body had opened up in pleasure at that moment.
Don’t call males stupid; they definitely learn by analogy when it comes to this. Qiao Xixi had only teased him a little, but he quickly mastered the art of conquering new territory, step by step.
His azure eyes gradually clouded with a thin mist. When she felt his warm palm roaming her waist, a bit of her rationality returned, and she grabbed his hand.
Thwarted, Sangze seemed unwilling to give up and planted a hard kiss on her lips.
"Xixi, my body feels so hot. It’s unbearable."
The silly leopard looked as pitiful as a stuffed toy, but they couldn’t do it here.
Qiao Xixi thought about how Jin Ling and the others reacted these past few times. What if, after... *that*, Sangze fell asleep right here? How embarrassing would that be!
"How about another day?"
The silly leopard was aroused, his eyes filled with thick desire. He was reluctant to let her go.
Qiao Xixi let him hold her, simply soothing him gently.
"I promise I’ll be yours, Sangze. Be good, now."
Qiao Xixi gave him a peck on the corner of his mouth, finally managing to coax the silly leopard.
But the moment she moved, she felt something poke her leg.
The silly leopard let out a muffled groan, the fire he had just suppressed flaring up again.
Qiao Xixi didn’t dare stay too close to him. If she lost control too, they really wouldn’t be able to go back.
"Here, drink some water to cool down."
It took several bowls of Spiritual Spring water to barely douse the fire in the silly leopard.
’He was so frustrated. Why isn’t it my turn tonight! That damn leopard gets all the good stuff!’
When the two returned to the enclosure, they found Qiao Lie and the others standing by the fence, staring eagerly inside with expressions of surprise and envy on their little faces.
"What’s wrong? Have you all chosen your beast pets?"
Hearing her voice, Sangqi turned around and said, "Mother, they don’t like us. They only like An’an."
Qiao Xixi was a bit confused. She glanced toward the enclosure and saw the little tiger cub surrounded by all the wild animals. She had no idea what the cub was so happy about, but she was laughing with a wide, drooling smile.
"An’an."
Hearing her mother’s voice, the little tiger cub looked up.
"Mama... Mama... hold..."
Qiao Xixi went inside and picked her up. Seeing the little tiger cub being carried away, the small beasts anxiously rubbed against Qiao Xixi’s legs.
"Alright now, An’an will come play with you again next time."
"AWOO~"
"Qiaoqiao, do you guys still want to pick a beast pet?"
The cubs exchanged glances and all shook their heads.
"Alright then. We’ll come play another day. It’s getting late, so let’s head back first."
Over on the side, Sangze went to give some instructions to the male on guard duty. After confirming there were no issues, the family prepared to return to the inner city.
Meanwhile, Jin Wei, formerly of Tiger Beast City, also received news from the Black Panther Tribe.
"I can’t believe a medium-sized tribe has defected to the Black Panther Tribe. City Lord, are we still going to make those medium-sized tribes’ beastmen leave?"
Jin Wei shook his head, his face grim. Beast King City had already found out about their previous attack on the Black Panther Tribe. If they made any other big moves, they would definitely attract Beast King City’s attention again.
"What’s the situation with the salt fields?"
"City Lord, our beastmen have already contacted the Shark Beast Clan. They said that as long as we help them annihilate the mermen, that salt field will be ours again."
Jin Wei snorted. "If they weren’t so useless, those mermen would have been dead long ago."
However, the salt fields were by the sea, after all. It would indeed be troublesome to take them back without the help of sea beasts.
"Relay my orders. Have Songyan take 300 Golden Eagle Beasts to the island. They must kill all those mermen and take back the salt fields."
