Chapter 43: She is a Holy Female

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: She is a Holy Female

He pulled the little female back into his arms, as if he were embracing his entire world.

Bai Wanwan leaned against his chest, sensing his joy and excitement. Her own feelings were complicated.

She seemed to be happy too, and it wasn’t just the happiness of knowing she’d get a lot of Points for having a litter of cubs.

Before she could figure out the reason for this feeling, Xin Feng suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

The kiss was light and gentle, full of tender affection. Bai Wanwan could feel how much he cherished her, and she proactively raised her arms to wrap them around his neck.

Xin Feng seemed to take this as encouragement. His arms tightened, pulling them closer together...

*******

Lu Yi had been walking toward Wandering Beast City for two days without encountering a single male.

Just as dusk was falling and he was looking for a place to spend the night, a rustling sound came from behind him.

He quickly ducked behind a nearby boulder to hide.

Roger was leading his caravan forward. The Cat Clan Tribe wasn’t far, but he had no plans to go back there for the time being.

"Captain, look..."

The Beastman clearing the path ahead pointed to the tracks on the ground and turned to speak to Roger.

Roger’s gaze followed the footprints to a massive boulder by the mountainside. He then gave a look to the two Beastmen in front.

The two Beastmen understood immediately and fanned out.

Hiding behind the rock, Lu Yi heard the sounds disappear somewhere nearby.

He wasn’t sure if the Beastmen had left.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, his patience wore thin. He mustered his courage and peeked out.

Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Roger and his caravan.

Just then, a fierce gust of wind erupted beside him. Lu Yi rolled to the side just in time.

Another Beastman appeared on his other side and launched an attack.

He immediately used his Talent to fight back.

Outside the fray, Roger saw Lu Yi and raised a hand to stop his men. "Wait!"

The two Beastmen received the order and stepped aside. Roger sauntered over, looking Lu Yi up and down. "I remember you."

The Cat Clan Tribe only had a few powerful males. Once Roger saw them, he wouldn’t forget.

Lu Yi’s heart relaxed slightly. "Captain Roger, I’m a Beastman from the Cat Clan Tribe. I was just hiding because I was worried about running into wild beasts, nothing else."

"Then what are you doing out here?"

"Hunting. There are many males at home, and not enough food."

"Hunting? In this weather? All by yourself?"

Roger looked at him with a half-smile and paced back and forth a couple of steps.

Lu Yi nodded quickly. "Yes, the others are busy with other things."

After he said this, Lu Yi heard nothing for a long moment and looked up cautiously.

"Where’s Bai Wanwan? Can a single male like Xin Feng take good care of her?"

At the mention of Bai Wanwan, Lu Yi felt a pang of guilt and answered casually, "He’s taking very good care of her."

Roger didn’t look away, the corner of his mouth curling into a smirk. "Is that so? For some reason, I feel like you’re lying."

"Captain Roger, I’m not lying."

Lu Yi felt even more guilty and unconsciously started rambling. "Even though Xin Feng doesn’t have a Talent, the Clan Leader wouldn’t let Bai Wanwan starve. Before the rainy season, he already sent over a lot of..."

Halfway through his sentence, Lu Yi abruptly realized what he was saying.

Roger asked with a smile, "Go on... sent over a lot of what?"

"He sent some dried meat," Lu Yi answered, steeling himself.

"The Cat Clan Tribe has that much food? And the Clan Leader gives special treatment to a waste female?"

Lu Yi’s eyes darted back and forth. He really didn’t know how to continue.

"Your name is Lu Yi, right?"

Lu Yi pressed his lips together. Roger’s Talent was stronger than his, and it gave off an intense, oppressive feeling.

Roger didn’t wait for an answer and continued, "Lu Yi, tell me, is Bai Wanwan really a waste female?"

Lu Yi froze. He had just opened his mouth when Roger held up a hand to stop him.

"Think carefully before you speak. If your answer doesn’t satisfy me, you won’t be going back."

Lu Yi clenched his fists. "Captain Roger, what do you mean? Does your caravan dare to take a Beastman’s life?"

A meaningful smile spread across Roger’s face. "If my caravan took your life, who would know?"

Lu Yi hesitated, torn. He didn’t know if he should tell him that Bai Wanwan was a Holy Female.

’Yaya wanted Bai Wanwan to fall into the hands of Wandering Beasts.’

"Not talking? Then we’ll just kill you! Yin Li, do it."

Roger’s voice was filled with the grim finality of an autumn wind sweeping away dead leaves. He even turned and started to walk away.

"Wait! Captain Roger."

Lu Yi cried out anxiously, but Roger didn’t stop walking.

The Beastman called Yin Li was already in front of him, unleashing his Talent...

"I’ll talk!"

Lu Yi gritted his teeth and made his decision. He couldn’t hesitate any longer; his life was on the line.

Only then did Roger turn back around.

But he waited for a moment, and Lu Yi still hadn’t spoken.

"Thinking of how to lie to me?"

"No. Can you have the others move back?"

Roger waved his hand, and everyone in the caravan backed away.

Roger narrowed his eyes, threatening, "If you dare to lie to me, I won’t spare you or your Wife!"

"I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything I know. But I have one condition."

"Speak."

Lu Yi knew he couldn’t delay any longer and told him the truth.

"Bai Wanwan is a Holy Female! If you want to have her, you can’t harm the Beastmen of the Cat Clan. You can take her away quietly..."

Roger didn’t hear a word of what he said after that.

All the blood in his body was boiling.

’No wonder she could get pregnant even as a waste female...’

’So she wasn’t a waste female, she was a Holy Female!’

Who would have thought that a small tribe like the Cat Clan would actually produce a Holy Female!

He then thought of Xin Feng. What right did that guy have to possess a Holy Female all to himself?

Even the powerhouses of the Super Tribes would fight over a Holy Female. Only the strongest male could become her Beast Husband.

Roger ground his teeth. He’d almost been fooled.

He looked down at Lu Yi. "Besides me, who else have you told about this?"

The Beastmen in his caravan were all people he trusted, but he had no intention of telling them that Bai Wanwan was a Holy Female.

’That little female... she’s quite interesting.’

’He hadn’t planned on taking a mate, but if it was with a Holy Female like her, it seemed like a pretty good idea...’

"Besides the Beastmen of the Cat Clan Tribe, no one on the outside knows."

"Mm, very good!"

Lu Yi looked up. "What’s very good?"

As he spoke, he saw the killing intent in Roger’s smiling face.

"You..."

He immediately counterattacked, unleashing his Talent. A gale raged around them.

But just as his power began to build, it was crushed by a sky-blotting wave of fire.

ARGH!

Lu Yi screamed in agony as he was enveloped by the flames.

He tried to use all his strength, pushing his Talent to its absolute limit.

But it was all in vain. Roger’s Talent was at least two ranks higher than his.

The scorching heat felt like it was melting him. He screamed and thrashed on the ground.

The flames tightened around him, and Lu Yi’s screams grew fainter and fainter, until finally, there was no sound at all.

A short while later, only a pile of dust remained on the snow.

Roger dusted off his hands, the corner of his mouth hooking into a smirk. "This secret... let’s just keep it in the Cat Clan Tribe."

He would take Bai Wanwan and not let any other Beastman know she was a Holy Female.

Roger tightened his beast-hide cloak and turned back toward his caravan.

"Change of plans. We’re going to the Cat Clan Tribe."
