For an entire night, Shu Xin lectured on currency and management systems. The more the males listened, the more energetic they became, as a new world opened up before them.
Having not slept all night, Shu Xin felt a bit listless and couldn't help but yawn. Lei Te, feeling concerned for his mate, interrupted, "Xin'er, go back and get some rest. We can discuss it further after you wake up."
Shu Xin nodded, "Alright, this isn't something that can be explained in a day. We'll take it slow, step by step." With that, she went back to sleep.
Shu Yue also returned with her. Last night, she had been doing all the explaining. When her sister mentioned a term she didn't understand, Shu Yue would explain it. Before that, her sister hadn't even discussed the matter of building a city with her.
After drinking a cup of water, Shu Yue lay on the bed, her head still a bit fuzzy. Compared to Shu Xin, she didn't even know what she did all day. Seeing how her sister had planned out their future!
One couldn't compare people. With a capable sister, she could comfortably lie flat. Life was truly wonderful like this~
...
A'Man was not doing well at all. Ya was chasing him relentlessly from behind, making his life miserable, but he had no regrets~
"Ya, I was wrong. Why don't you force me again? I promise I won't resist, okay?" he pleaded while running.
Ya's expression didn't change. She wouldn't stop until she had bitten off a piece of his flesh!
A'Man dared not stop, fearing she would truly bite him to death. Dying for such a reason would be too unjust!
He ran for a day and a night without stopping, his stamina quickly depleted. He began to regret it, wishing he had eaten his fill before coming out!
He fled, she pursued, they had wings but could not fly, flying to the ends of the earth, flying to the corners of the sea, and finally flying into a den of ferocious beasts...
Ya, in her anger, became hungry while chasing. She vaguely saw a prey running below. During her dive, she accidentally overturned a nest of newly hatched ferocious beast eggs. The eggs were shattered by the powerful impact.
This enraged the ferocious beast couple, who were basking in their affection on the ground. With two roars, the two ferocious beasts rose up and chased Ya relentlessly, determined to bring her down to be buried with their children.
Ya had no choice but to abandon her pursuit of food and turn to deal with the ferocious beasts.
A'Man, unaware of what was happening behind him, flew far away and looked back. No one was behind him anymore.
Finally able to catch his breath, he quickly found a river and drank his fill. He ate a prey raw before flying back.
He thought Ya had given up, tired from chasing.
However, while searching for the direction back, he heard the roars of ferocious beasts. Out of curiosity, he took a look from afar.
This glance made his eyes split with rage. Two ferocious beasts were attacking his Ya!
Ya had sustained wounds, and her wings were also injured.
A'Man was extremely worried. He calmed himself down and didn't rush forward rashly. Instead, he stealthily lurked and launched a successful surprise attack!
The ferocious beast, ambushed, lost an eye and became even more frenzied, turning to attack A'Man.
With one less ferocious beast, Ya gained some respite. She looked at A'Man with complex eyes, seemingly not expecting him to return to help her.
In a one-on-one situation, the odds between a dragon beast and a ferocious beast were fifty-fifty. Fortunately, A'Man had blinded one of the ferocious beasts, significantly reducing its combat power.
It was destined to be a fierce battle. A'Man, while fighting, also worried about Ya's situation. He shouted, "Ya, how are you? If you can't hold on, we'll escape. I'll cover your escape!"
As a dragon beast, how could she flee without fighting? "I'm not running. I can handle it. If you can't, you run."
Hearing this, A'Man gritted his teeth. How could she say he was incapable at a time like this!
"Ya! Just you watch!"
He was determined to bite this ferocious beast to death today and show his mate that he was capable!
Coincidentally, the ferocious beast thought the same way: either win or die fighting!
The battle lasted for two days and two nights. A'Man finally managed to subdue the ferocious beast. If it hadn't been for the ferocious beast being blind in one eye, he might have been the one to fall.
On the other side, Ya's condition was dire. Having not eaten for days, her stamina had long since given out, relying solely on her tenacious willpower. Just as the ferocious beast was about to bite off Ya's neck, A'Man, with a surge of strength he didn't know he had, rushed forward. The impact sent Ya flying, and also deflected the ferocious beast's mouth. Its fangs grazed his leg, leaving a bloody gash over ten centimeters deep.
The ferocious beast, blinded by rage, changed its target without hesitation. All beings that appeared were enemies; it was right to bite them to death!
The terrifying aspect of the ferocious beast was its suicidal attacks, its all-out assaults. A'Man, exhausted, dodged desperately. Within a minute, he had sustained multiple injuries, his body bleeding profusely, looking like a person smeared with blood, a shocking sight.
On the other side, Ya, after swallowing the ferocious beast's heart, regained some strength. Her eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty cold light. She charged forward with all her might and bit the ferocious beast's neck from behind. Meanwhile, the tip of the ferocious beast's fangs had already pierced A'Man's neck; A'Man had been very close to death.
The battle ended. A'Man finally collapsed onto the ground with relief. The surroundings were filled with pits and trees destroyed by the ferocious beast. In this wasteland, three giant beasts lay fallen, and one stood.
Within seconds, the standing one also fell, lying on the ground and panting.
Having gone through a life-and-death struggle, A'Man didn't immediately go to eat the meat. Instead, he crossed over the carcasses of the ferocious beasts to check on Ya.
Ya ignored him, burying her head in the meat to replenish her energy.
"So good~" A'Man chuckled and also began to eat.
...
When Shu Yue saw the two of them again, it was a week later.
The area around the Warrior Tribe had become lively, with many unfamiliar tribes seemingly arriving.
Ya thought to herself that the trade fair must have begun.
A'Man stopped her, "Ya, transform into your human form and sit on my back, or I can carry you and fly."
Ya was reluctant, "I can go back by myself."
A'Man reminded her, "You are a female. If you go back alone, they will harass you."
Ya found it troublesome and tacitly agreed.
"Ya, where have you two been these past few days? Wen Te and Lei Te went looking for you several times, and even asked at the barbarian tribe, but they couldn't find you!" Shu Yue couldn't help but chide them when she saw them return unharmed.
Ya, not being one to lie, was about to tell the truth when A'Man interrupted, "I took Ya out. I want to pursue her."
Shu Yue wasn't surprised; she had seen it coming. She then looked at Ya, "So, Ya, do you agree?"
Ya rolled her eyes, "No, I don't like males who are weaker than me."
A'Man: "...Ya, I'm not weak!"
Ya said, "When you win against me, I'll consider it." As for being forced last time, she wouldn't hold it against him. A'Man had saved her life; she wouldn't consider him an enemy.
A'Man pressed his forehead with a headache, helpless, "Ya, I can't possibly win against you because I can't bear to fight you."
Upon hearing this, Ya irritably bumped him with her shoulder, "Shut up! You've been saying this kind of thing all the way here. Aren't you annoying!"
From initial discomfort, to getting goosebumps, then blushing, and now becoming irritable, she didn't know what was happening. She felt it was just uncomfortable to hear his words!
Shu Yue: "..." So after not seeing each other for a few days, they were force-feeding her dog food the moment they met?
