fear
Viewers knew that Alina had seen photos of Chu Yanbing in his snow leopard form before, but they didn't know that she had expressed her admiration for him in his snow leopard form face-to-face after returning to her bedroom.
If the audience didn't know, the other five fluffy creatures knew even less.
Even Alina had seen the photos but didn't know it.
Everyone knew that Alina favored Chu Yanbing because of his petite beast form, but they always thought she liked or even pitied the soft and cute temperament of the mimicry.
So now that I've seen Chu Yanbing's true identity revealed, I think Alina will withdraw her favoritism towards him.
Although in their eyes, even if the marshal was mimicking someone else, his aura was not weak or cute.
There were no other small, furry creatures, and Alina was heartbroken for the first time; equating a little cutie with a snow leopard—that was Alina's second heartbreak.
Little Cutie is Snow Leopard, and Snow Leopard is Little Cutie; if she can't get Snow Leopard, then she can't get Little Cutie!
Aaaaaah!
What a human tragedy!
The little cutie is the perfect fluffy creature, both adorable and reliable; it's easy to pet, can fight alongside you, and can even be used as a mount.
Oh my god! How long is the little cutie's owner's lifespan? She already wants to be the little cutie's next owner.
After all, she is an immortal being!
Right, she'll go back and search. If it's no more than 500 years ago, then she'll wait.
Anyway, she herself didn't know if she could advance two levels in 500 years, after all, those were the last two realms for a magician.
The levels of magicians are divided into four categories from lowest to highest: beginner, intermediate, advanced, top-level, and supreme.
Previously, she planned to cultivate to become a top-tier mage and then attempt to cross the world barrier to return home. But now, the elf, completely captivated by the snow leopard, thought to herself:
Being a top-tier mage is too dangerous! Of course, one must become the Sorcerer Supreme!
"Just like that!?" Pei Jingnian was shocked, helpless, and disappointed. His heart felt like a spilled spice bottle, a mixture of all five flavors.
Most viewers in the live stream shared the same disappointed expression: 【That's it!?】
Chu Yanbing's taut tail softened back to its normal state: Thankfully, I won't lie to her again next time.
Whether it's proactive or reactive.
"What? You're just going to let it go like that?"
Upon hearing Pei Jingnian's words, Alina asked in confusion.
"No, it's nothing."
Would he dare to say that?
She clearly doesn't care!
Pei Jingnian collapsed on his own.
"It's over." Alina reminded them as the video ended.
What do you want to see?
Forcing himself to compose himself, Pei Jingnian softened his expression and asked in a tone of doting affection.
"I don't know what it is, just see what you usually like."
Alina doesn't care what the TV is on, as long as it's on.
"good."
The television screen shifted, and a fiery red mech suddenly occupied most of the screen, its desolate, insect-swarming terrain behind it indicating its battlefield status.
"You know my job. I usually like to watch combat videos and then review them."
To avoid Alina thinking he was narcissistic, Pei Jingnian explained it this way.
"That's good. It's about training yourself and making yourself better."
Alina strongly agreed with this.
Looking into the other person's sincere eyes, Pei Jingnian's thin, rosy lips curled up slightly, quite satisfied with his arrangement.
On the battlefield, the fiery red mechs are not only powerful in attack, but their movements are also very pleasing to the eye. They don't look like they are killing enemies, but rather like a magnificent dance.
Alina was completely captivated by Alina's fighting style, which was completely different from Chu Yanbing's.
Seeing that Alina's gaze was becoming increasingly focused, Pei Jingnian temporarily swallowed the question in his mind.
*
"Splash... splash..."
The sound of running water echoed in the ornately decorated bathroom. The rising steam enveloped his strong, muscular body, and clear water slid down his well-defined muscles.
Long, strong fingers traced along his sexy abs. Recalling his answer, Pei Jingnian felt he needed to work even harder.
Earlier, after the video ended, Pei Jingnian seized the opportunity to ask him a question he really wanted to know.
Which fighting style do you prefer?
"I like them both. The silver mech is like lightning in the sky, fast, accurate and ruthless, carrying the force of thunder and making people tremble with fear; the red mech is like lava leaping in a volcano, gorgeous and dangerous."
In Alina's opinion, battles should be both beautiful and powerful. The silver mech is stronger, and the red mech is more beautiful, making it difficult to distinguish which is better.
Of course, if we compare quantities, in her mind, the silver mecha is still superior because it is much stronger and not inferior in combat.
Judging from Alina's daily attire, she clearly loves beauty, so why would she think that both he and the Marshal have good fighting styles?
Pei Jingnian quickly figured out the answer after a couple of mental steps.
Fighting style is mostly unimportant; what matters is the person.
Thinking about his plans for later, Pei Jingnian casually approached the towel rack, and the smart shower head automatically turned off.
"Rustle, rustle." The sound of fabric rubbing together echoed softly in the quiet bathroom. A fiery red silk nightgown completely covered her long arms and legs, with only her collarbone exposed.
Looking down at the small V-neck design, Pei Jingnian pulled the collar down a little, not entirely satisfied. He glanced in the mirror, adjusted his belt, and then nodded in satisfaction.
Although she looks androgynous and doesn't seem like the innocent type, this is indeed the first time this fox, who has never been in a relationship, has done something like this. Her heart is pounding uncontrollably, filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the kitchen.
The sound of "thump, thump, thump" echoed between the cleaver and the cutting board. Looking at the sparse ingredients beside her, Alina finally decided to make noodles for a late-night snack.
Don't underestimate a simple bowl of noodles; when prepared well, it can be incredibly tempting.
This is the last thing. Alina felt extremely happy at the thought of being free soon.
She suddenly found herself in a fake marriage with a strange man, but she was still very uncomfortable and just wanted to leave.
This late-night snack was entirely a return favor for the lunch.
"Bang."
She heard a faint, almost imperceptible explosion, and just as Alina thought it was her imagination, everything went black.
Because the villa is located in the suburbs, after the power was cut off, there was no light outside except for the faint moonlight.
In the darkness, her pale fingertips trembled unconsciously. Alina moved with extraordinary speed to the only window not far away, and with the help of the moonlight coming from the horizon, she regained her usual composure.
Suddenly, the light in front of me grew dimmer and dimmer until it was almost gone.
Her eyes suddenly reddened as she stared at the moon, which was completely obscured by dark clouds on the horizon. Overwhelmed with fear, Alina's heart stopped.
Alina felt as if all the strength had been drained from her legs, and her hands weakly gripped the window frame. She knew she had to save herself.
The extreme darkness seemed to contain a thick, viscous malice. Although there was no energy or life around, the marks left in her early years were already deeply engraved in Alina's heart.
A stumbling sound echoed in the darkness; the doorway was, in Alina's eyes, the only way out.
"Clang."
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, though not too loud, struck not only Alina's heart with fear in her eyes, but also the terrified audience.
【Aaaaaah! My wife's afraid of the dark! Where the great general Pei is?! Waaaaah, my wife's hurt!】
[I'm bleeding! I'm angry! [Furious! jpg.]]
【Aaaaaah! Help!】
No wonder the audience was rude to Pei Jingnian.
"Power outage"? What an ancient word. Apart from a Zerg invasion, it's impossible for any territory in the Empire with power towers to experience a power outage.
It's obvious that Major General Pei directed and acted in this himself.
Flower fairies have almost no night vision, while foxes have excellent night vision. How could the audience not know what Pei Jingnian was up to?
If Alina hadn't been afraid of the dark, this would have been a scene that the audience would have loved to see, but instead, an accident occurred.
Of course, fans with double standards are worried and angry!
"Linlin?"
Pei Jingnian had timed it perfectly. He arrived at the stairwell when the power went out, and within a minute, he was in the kitchen.
I... "I'm here."
The cold voice was very weak, and Alina was so frightened that she lost her voice.
The fox-beastman's exceptional night vision allowed Pei Jingnian to clearly see the girl leaning against the kitchen counter.
Alina kept her head down, making it impossible to see her expression, but the bulging veins on her fingers, which were gripping the edge of the counter, made her pale skin look even more sickly.
Pei Jingnian instinctively felt that something was wrong with the other person's condition, and his expectant and joyful feelings were immediately replaced by worry.
The man was tall and had long legs; even though the kitchen was spacious, he reached Alina in just a few steps.
Are you feeling unwell?
Pei Jingnian sounded worried, raising his hand to support the other person, but then hesitated for fear of offending them, completely at a loss.
Alina knew perfectly well that her weaknesses should be hidden as well as possible.
Even though she was scared, she didn't forget that she was in a live broadcast.
'She must have been exposed.'
The person in front of her was very present even in the darkness, and Alina's drowning feeling gradually weakened.
Her eyes, once filled with fear, gradually regained their composure. Although she was afraid of the dark, the fear would lessen considerably if there were familiar people around.
"nothing."
Although she revealed her fear of the dark, she kept her head down the whole time, so those watching the live stream probably didn't know how scared she was.
Why did it suddenly turn black?
After regaining her composure, Alina asked the question, both to find out the reason and to distract herself.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingnian felt extremely guilty and didn't know whether he should tell the truth.
To be honest, getting angry is a small matter; it's better not to get angry at all.
If I lie, and she finds out in the future, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?
As he was sweating with anxiety, Pei Jingnian suddenly smelled a faint metallic scent of blood.
"You're injured!?"
His eyes darted around anxiously and worriedly, and soon he spotted the edge of the white kitchen counter stained with blood.
At this point, there was no need to worry about whether it was offensive or not.
He reached out and grasped Alina's hand, which was supporting her body behind her back.
A thumb-length wound ran across the back of her delicate, fair hand; the reality of something beautiful being destroyed was heartbreaking.
The bright red blood beads almost completely stained the two closest fingers, and Pei Jingnian was immediately filled with self-reproach.
"I'm sorry." His deep, magnetic voice was hoarse with regret and remorse. "I'll take you to get treatment."
Before Alina could react, a feeling of weightlessness washed over her as soon as she finished speaking.
Her released hand instinctively wrapped around the other person's neck, and shock resurfaced in her gradually regaining composure in her crimson eyes.
“I can do it myself!” Alina’s tone rose uncontrollably.
