Finally, the beastmaster called a halt.

Ling Yunxi almost bounced away, falling to the ground, her cheeks flushed from the exertion and discomfort.

Qi Liyuan then slowly opened his eyes.

Those cold, vertical pupils showed no trace of the confusion one might expect from someone who had just been "rescued," only their usual clarity and indifference.

He sat up, his movements elegant and slow.

He didn't even glance at Ling Yunxi, but instead took out an exquisite fur from his waist and did so in front of her and all the beastmen.

He wiped his lips very carefully and repeatedly.

No corner was overlooked.

It was as if something dirty had stained his lips.

Then, he slowly raised his eyes, his cold gaze turning to Ling Yunxi, whose face was pale, and his voice was steady and icy:

"Insufficient air volume, what a waste of all that flesh."

He paused, then added the fatal sentence, "And your fear is affecting your operational stability, which is useless and superfluous."

As his gaze swept over her cheeks where the acne scars had faded, a fleeting, almost imperceptible glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his indifference.

"bite--"

"Qi Liyuan's aversion value decreased by 1, and there are 98 points left to complete the mission."

After saying that, he stood up and straightened the perfectly intact animal hide.

He left behind a cold, upright figure, the low-pressure air around him, and the lingering chill on his lips.

"Pfft... Hahahaha..."

The orcs' sneers echoed around them.

Ling Yunxi clenched her still trembling fingers, the cold touch and the humiliating words of public judgment lingering in her mind.

"Hmm..." The Beast Master nodded. "Overall, it's not bad. Ling Yunxi, you can also refer to Qi Liyuan's evaluation."

"Understood, Beast Master."

After saying that, Ling Yunxi walked back to her seat amidst the laughter of the crowd.

"Okay, now draw another group of learning beasts..."

The other orcs were once again in a state of excitement, and seemed to have quickly forgotten what had just happened.

Inside the school, only a handful of people did not go to watch, including Mo Yanche, Chi Yanling, Jiang Yichuan, and Xuan Yize.

Xiao Yeyu was seated at the front, between the beastmen's legs, and could catch a glimpse of her and Qi Liyuan kissing.

His Adam's apple bobbed down, a strange emotion lingering in his heart. He clicked his tongue and impatiently tossed the object aside.

"bite--"

"Xiao Yeyu's aversion value decreased by 1, leaving -90 points remaining to complete the mission."

The female beside him was equally troubled.

Pu Yueling gripped the hem of her animal-skin skirt tightly, her face radiating an undeniable stench.

She turned around and made sure that Mo Yanche behind her wasn't paying attention to what was happening on the stage before she felt relieved.

When she was choosing her seat, she actually wanted to sit behind Qi Liyuan.

Even though he didn't look up when she caught a glimpse of the cold and domineering orc, she could still feel his powerful masculine aura.

A sudden chill swept over her, and she shivered before choosing a new spot.

Unexpectedly, that ugly, fat woman, Ling Yunxi, was able to sit behind him.

Moreover, she had just kissed him, and a nameless anger welled up inside her.

She's about to marry her brother, and she's still so intimate with other men, it's shameless...

When the exclamations of the beastmen rang out in the school, Mo Yanche did not look up, but he knew that it was because of the actions that the two people on the stage had taken.

Her interactions with other males always evoke memories of him carrying her on his back last night.

A female he loathed, yet who carried a sweet, unsettling scent.

That feeling lingered and disturbed my peace of mind.

"bite--"

"Mo Yanche's aversion value decreased by 1, and he has -94 points left to complete the mission."

"bite--"

"Xuan Yize's aversion value decreased by 2, and there are 96 points left to complete the mission."

At the same time, Xuan Yize unconsciously touched the scar on his cheek.

He had been applying the medicine she gave him for the past few days, thinking it would only have a slight effect at most.

It won't have any obvious effect.

But this morning, he was surprised to find that the scar had noticeably healed.

During this time, in order to make the wound heal faster, he activated his supernatural power to accelerate the effect of the medicine on his skin.

It greatly shortens the recovery time.

That rough texture is no longer there.

Only a faint scar remains, so faint that it can only be seen up close.

Xuan Yize looked up at the female beside him, and to his surprise—

The obsessive, almost repulsive, devotion she once had to him has vanished; she sees no trace of it in her now.

He was sitting right next to her, and she treated him almost like he was invisible.

There was no entanglement, no infatuation, and no harassment.

He should be happy, but for some reason, he doesn't feel the happiness he imagined.

"Oh……"

Jiang Yichuan glanced coldly at Ling Yunxi as she walked down.

"You must be overjoyed to have kissed Qi Liyuan!"

Ling Yunxi, who heard several men's aversion to her decrease, didn't understand why she had achieved such an effect after only demonstrating to Qi Liyuan.

It seems she needs to investigate what's going on.

Seeing that the female ignored him, Jiang Yichuan was a little annoyed and deliberately kicked her stool.

Coming to her senses, Ling Yunxi turned to look at the male snow fox beside her.

"What's wrong?" she asked coldly.

When the female glanced over, Jiang Yichuan felt a strange sense of irritation rise in his heart, and his tail swung in an arc behind him.

"It's nothing." His lips moved slightly, and he uttered a few words indistinctly.
