Jiang Zheyu grabbed Yin Ji's grass skirt and followed her forward.

Dan Xun followed behind them, his whole demeanor was very tense, and his face was very fierce, making him look like someone who was not to be trifled with.

His slightly lowered eyes, with a dark and ambiguous gaze, fell on Jiang Zheyu's slender hand that was holding another orc's grass skirt.

Just a few days ago, that slender, fair hand had been gently shaking the hem of his clothes, making his heartbeat seem to sway gently with the arc of the sway.

But now that slender hand is gripping another orc's clothes.

The single question was extremely glaring to me.

Isn't this the best way? Does he still want the female to go back to how she treated him a few days ago?

He'd already rejected her so many times, so wasn't the female's current behavior exactly what he wanted? Shouldn't he be relieved?

But now he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if countless violent genes were roaring all over his body, making him very unhappy and uncomfortable.

Danxun felt that his emotions were out of his control after meeting the little female. He would care about the little female's various emotions and feelings, and then he would also be troubled by them.

Jiang Zheyu ignored Dan's subsequent inquiries, unsure of his feelings; she simply chose to disregard him.

She stood beside Yin Ji, glancing at him sideways, and noticed a scar on his jawline. She pursed her lips slightly and asked Yin Ji, "Did you get injured while hunting?"

Yin Ji noticed her gaze falling on his jawline, so he tilted his head and smiled handsomely: "It's nothing serious, I just accidentally hurt my chin while fighting a wild wolf."

He couldn't help but smile as he spoke: "Mistress, have you accepted me?"

Jiang Zheyu paused for a moment, then nodded gently under the man's burning and expectant gaze.

"Mmm," Jiang Zheyu responded softly.

Regardless, Jiang Zheyu didn't mind taking in another beastman.

Actually, what she really wanted was a big white tiger.

But none of that matters, as long as he's a beastman, it's fine.

Upon hearing Jiang Zheyu's reply, Yin Ji's eyes shone with intense emotion. At that moment, he desperately wanted to embrace Jiang Zheyu, but he was carrying goods and could not. He could only look at Jiang Zheyu with an exceptionally bright smile: "My lady, I am very happy to hear that."

Jiang Zheyu simply smiled faintly.

The way the two of them were so intimate, oblivious to everyone else, was particularly irritating to Shan Xun, who was standing behind them.

Dan Xun's face was extremely gloomy. He strode up and followed Jiang Zheyu. His tall figure blocked the sunlight on Jiang Zheyu's right, making his presence very strong.

Jiang Zheyu did notice Shan Xun beside him; after all, Shan Xun was so tall that his presence was very strong.

On the other side, Yin Ji seemed to have just noticed Shan Xun and slowly asked Jiang Zheyu, her silver eyes innocent, as if she were just asking casually, "Mistress, who is this person?"

Jiang Zheyu also glanced at Shan Xun, and when Shan Xun noticed her gaze, he straightened up slightly, as if to show Jiang Zheyu his best self.

But Jiang Zheyu only glanced at him briefly before looking away and turning to Yin Ji, saying, "It's nothing, just a friend of mine."

Her tone was indifferent, as if she were just saying that he was an insignificant friend.

Upon hearing this, Shan Xun's expression worsened, and he clenched his fists at his sides.

There was nothing wrong with that sentence, and they were just ordinary friends to begin with, so what kind of relationship did he want? Didn't he reject her invitation to be her beastly husband? They were already friends.

A faint pain and discomfort crept into Shan Xun's heart; he seemed to have no intention of just being ordinary friends with her.

He knew that he would have to bear this painful feeling if he refused Jiang Zheyu's invitation to be a beastman.

But with such feelings suppressed in his heart, could he hold on until the mission was completed? Could he hold on until they left, until he returned to his own life, and until the little female returned to her own life, until they were separated?

Suppressing such feelings will only make him feel worse and worse. Eventually, he will be unable to bear it any longer and his emotions will explode, leading him to accept it without any restraint.

Jiang Zheyu wanted to take advantage of this emotional rebound effect.

Of course, she didn't know if this would actually work, or if it would work on Shan Xun. Would Shan Xun's emotions hit rock bottom and rebound, and then agree to become her beast husband? Or would he be unable to hold back and explode, completely admitting that he liked her?

Jiang Zheyu naturally had no idea, so she waited and looked forward to it.

When asked about Jiang Zheyu, he simply said that she was just an ordinary friend.

"Oh, hello there. My name is Yin Ji, and I'm Yu Yu's beast husband." Yin Ji said, looking thoughtfully at Shan Xun with a bright smile on his face. When introducing himself, he deliberately said that he was Yu Yu's beast husband.

Dan Xun was already in a bad mood, and hearing this sentence made him even worse, his expression becoming extremely gloomy.

He ignored Yin Ji and didn't reply to him at all.

The air seemed to freeze, as if caught in an awkward situation.

"My lady, it seems your friend doesn't really want to get to know me." Yin Ji didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, a trash beastman wasn't worth wasting any of his emotions on. He just wanted to get the female master's attention to him more.

Or perhaps he wants to further belittle the other person, making the female master have an even worse impression of him, so that he will receive more of the female master's favor.

Jiang Zheyu frowned slightly upon hearing Yin Ji's words, glanced at Shan Xun beside her, and said in a light tone, "Yin Ji is talking to you, why aren't you responding? Captain Shan, that's very impolite."

Dan Xun didn't want to pay any attention to what Yin Ji said, but he listened to every word Jiang Zheyu said, though it was a little uncomfortable to hear.

He keeps talking about that orc.

She was so attentive to him just a few days ago, but now she's so cold towards him.

Such a disparity was extremely distressing for Shan Xun, but he clearly had no right to be distressed.

"Why should I answer?" Shan asked. His voice was suppressed for a long time, dark and fierce. Although he tried his best to remain calm, a trace of violent emotion could still be heard in it.
