Chapter 44: Belated Love is Cheaper than Grass
Yao Ze pursed his lips, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of this method.
Cen Ran listened quietly and thought that this was a good thing. If he died, Bai Zhaoyan would no longer be jealous of him.
That's enough.
Seeing Lin Che eager to try, Yao Ze shook his head and was about to pull him back when Bai Zhaoyan fell from the sky and hit Lin Che on the back of the head with a dunk.
Rintoshi cried out in pain, holding his head and turning around to look for the culprit.
The next second, seeing Bai Zhaoyan's cold expression, Lin Che's heart panicked. Knowing that she had heard him, he subconsciously wanted to pull her hand, "Zhaoyan, listen to my explanation..."
The moment he saw her, Rin Che's mind went numb, his thoughts were all mixed up, and he didn't know why she was angry.
Is it because you don’t want Cen Ran to die?
Will she regret agreeing to form a pact with herself?
Bai Zhaoyan took a step back and glared at the two falcons coldly, "You two, come in with me."
Her words were like an imperial decree, and Lin Che and Yao Ze listened to them willingly.
She hadn't fallen asleep, but when she heard Lin Che leave, she got up to check, and only then did she hear what he said.
She also heard Cen Ran's explanation, but she didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
Cen Ran wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and got up from the ground, looking at Bai Zhaoyan's back almost infatuatedly.
Yaoze lit two candles in the main room, then stood with Lin Che, quietly waiting for Bai Zhaoyan's judgment.
Bai Zhaoyan sat at the table, his eyes fixed on Lin Che, "What did you just say?"
"Zhaoyan, that's not what I meant." Lin Che approached her aggrievedly, wanting to hold her hand, but was fixed by Bai Zhaoyan's eyes.
She opened her mouth again and asked, "I asked you what you just said?"
Lin Che bit his lip and replied weakly: "I said, kill him."
"Who told him to bully you?"
Bai Zhaoyan hooked her index finger to signal him to come closer, and Lin Che squatted obediently in front of her and looked up at her.
The next second, Bai Zhaoyan grabbed his ear and twisted it hard, "Where did you get this idea? Who taught you that?"
"You want to kill people at the slightest provocation. There are no laws here, right?"
Do you know how difficult it is for a person to survive in the end times?
"Hiss, it hurts. Zhaoyan, I was wrong, be gentler." Lin Che no longer had the ferocity he had shown in front of Cen Ran. He allowed Bai Zhaoyan to pinch his ears and just kept leaning towards her in an attempt to relieve the pain in his ears.
Yao Ze felt his ears getting hot just by looking at it.
Seeing how pitiful he was, Bai Zhaoyan finally let him go, and said with a long sigh, "Lin Che, this isn't how life should be."
"He bullied me, he was wrong, and he should pay the same price, but it's far from death. And I don't need him to pay the price, let's just pretend we don't know each other."
"All beastmen in Xiguang Continent are born equal. Even though Cen Ran treated me badly, he is still someone else's child. If he dies, what will happen to his elderly father and mother?"
Rin Che listened without blinking, and for some reason he thought of his younger self and sister when they were little.
The pain of not having a father or mother is probably the same as not having children and no one to take care of you in your old age.
A trace of shame flashed across his eyes, and he scratched his head, "I understand. I won't kill people so casually anymore."
He thought Bai Zhaoyan was reluctant to leave Cen Ran, but it turned out that she was worried about him.
Lin Che felt sweet in his heart, and then he clenched his fist and waved it, "I will protect Zhao Yan and not let others bully you. If someone bullies you when I'm not around, I won't let him go."
Bai Zhaoyan rubbed his head and said, "Just remember this, and don't let your murderous intentions get away with it."
"Yeah, I promise."
After getting Lin Che's promise, Bai Zhaoyan looked at Yao Ze and said, "Yao Ze, please help me. Please tell Cen Ran that if he is willing to release the contract with me, I will find a way to save his father."
"Okay." Yao Ze nodded, rolled his eyes, and insisted that she kiss him before he would go.
Bai Zhaoyan had no choice but to kiss him on the face.
[bite--]
[System: Yaoze's favorability +10, host's vitality +10 days, favorability maxed out, congratulations to the host on the successful capture.]
Bai Zhaoyan checked the panel:

[Other: None]
Lin Che looked at her eagerly and wanted to kiss her, but Bai Zhaoyan glared at him. It seemed that she was still angry about his careless words just now.
When Yao Ze went out, Cen Ran had already climbed up and was kneeling there. He didn't look up when he heard his footsteps, thinking that he was coming to kill him.
"Zhao Yan said that she could save your father."
Hearing this, Cen Ran was shocked and stared at Yao Ze in disbelief.
"But the prerequisite is that you have to break the contract with her."
Cen Ran: "..."
He knew that Zhao Yan was kind, but also had a bottom line.
She couldn't face herself calmly, so she decided to forget him.
On one side is my father's life, and on the other side is Bai Zhaoyan, whom I owe.
Cen Ran closed his eyes dejectedly, "I promise."
On the day Bai Zhaoyan and Yao Ze Linche formed a pact, she also broke off the pact with Cen Ran.
She spent 30 points in the store to buy a marrow cleansing pill and gave it to Cen Ran. This marrow cleansing pill should be able to save Bai Qi.
She didn't say much, and watched him take the marrow cleansing pill and turn to leave.
[bite--]
[System: Cen Ran's favorability +50, host's vitality +50 days.]
Cen Ran wanted to stay, but he couldn't, because his father was still waiting for him to save his life.
He watched Bai Zhaoyan walk away and whispered, "Zhaoyan, goodbye."
Bai Zhaoyan never thought that even after she had broken the contract with Cen Ran, Cen Ran's favorability towards her could still increase.
She chuckled slightly and shook her head.
Belated affection is cheaper than grass.
She doesn't want it.

Tiger tribe.
Ye Zheng has been hibernating in Bai Zhaoyan's house since the rainy season began.
Mo Wang and Lang Ye also live here. Although they live under the same roof, the beasts do not disturb each other and treat each other as air.
On the day Mo Wang rushed out of the tribe, he searched for Bai Zhaoyan for a long time but couldn't find any trace of her.
It had rained during the night, washing away all her scent.
He was confused and anxious, as if he had been split into two personalities by an axe.
One hates Bai Zhaoyan, the other likes Bai Zhaoyan.
Mo Wang fainted outside the tribe and was picked up by the patrolling Bai Yuan.
Later, he would go to the outskirts of the tribe and wait for a while every day, rain or shine, hoping that one day he would see Bai Zhaoyan at the door.
But now, when all things are revived, the expectations in Mo Wang's eyes are getting heavier and heavier, and his heart is filled with more and more self-blame.
Lang Ye also became quiet, no longer as noisy as before. Sometimes he would sit in the main room for a whole day without saying a word.
Ye Zheng was haunted by nightmares. When he opened his eyes, he could still hear the whistling wind. His hibernation period had not yet ended.
A glimmer of clarity briefly flashed across his numb and dim purple eyes. He took out his heart-protecting scale and scratched his arm fiercely with it.
