Ya didn't care about his condition, pushing him aside. She stood up and tidied her clothes. Guang's gaze inadvertently fell on his state, and surprise flickered in his eyes.
"You did this this morning, and now again. You still say you don't want to pursue me?" Ya stated the facts she saw.
A Man, however, reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up. "Don't misunderstand! I'm a normal male!"
Ya understood. "So, you're like this with any female?"
Her gaze then held something even more unusual. A Man's face darkened like the bottom of a pot. "How is that possible! If any female would do, what would that make me!"
Fearing she would say something that would infuriate him further, he quickly changed the subject. "That's not important. You said you have a beast form?"
Ya nodded. "Yes. Want to spar?"
A Man was eager. "Sure, let's go outside and fight."
Ya had the same idea. "The tribe members don't know. Can you keep it a secret?"
"Of course!"
Then the two of them went out. After moving a distance away from the tribe, Ya, with A Man on her back, changed out of her clothes. When she reappeared, she had transformed into a dragon beast of a similar size to him.
A Man's eyes widened. He had thought she was a bear or cow female, but she was a dragon beast female?!
"Roar!" A Man let out a great roar and also transformed into his beast form, circling Ya's beast form, wanting to get a good look to see if it was real!
A Man felt the blood within him stir with excitement, though he didn't know why. It was probably because it was his first time seeing a dragon beast female!
Ya flicked her tail at him. "Seen enough? Let's fight!"
A Man blurted out, "I don't want to fight, I want you!"
Ya roared, "Win against me first!"
A sharp shadow lunged towards A Man. He dared not be careless and met the attack with all his might.
This fight required much more effort than his previous one with Leite. Ya fought with the intent to kill. Did this weak male really want to mate with her? What a dream!
Only in actual combat did A Man realize how arrogant he had been in front of females. Ya, as a female, attacked lethally, aiming for vital spots. If he didn't respond with full attention, he would be severely injured, if not killed.
As they fought, A Man's expression grew more serious. He pleaded, "Ya, we're just playing around. With your stance, you're trying to bite me to death?"
Ya honestly replied, "The outcome hasn't been decided yet."
A Man's face twitched upon hearing this. He deliberately exposed a small weakness, and in the next instant, he was pinned to the ground by the dragon beast Ya. A sharp pain shot through his neck, and his senses went blank for a second; death was imminent.
A Man gasped for breath and spoke first, "I lost. Ya, you're stronger than me."
Only when he admitted it did Ya release her grip. The moment she let go, the dragon beast on the ground suddenly flipped over and pinned her. Ya was startled and was about to react when she was pressed to the ground, her active role turned passive.
She didn't think he could kill her, but she was furious. Furious at the male's dishonesty, at his use of a despicable method!
As the thought of anger arose, something slid into her mouth, and Ya's mind went blank.
A Man was excited, thrilled. Even if it was only for a few seconds, it was enough.
He then bolted, laughing, "Ya, be my mate~"
Ya's eyes turned red with anger. "I'm going to bite you to death!"
She wasn't angry about losing her first kiss; beastmen didn't care about such things. She was angry that she was forced into this situation!
Even if they were friends of Wen Teshuyue, she couldn't control herself anymore. She wanted to bite this fellow who had offended her. This was a disgrace!
A Man dared not run back into the tribe. He had some understanding of Ya's temper. This matter wouldn't end easily, so he ran deeper into the forest, thinking he could hide for a night and come out when the female calmed down.
To his surprise, he underestimated Ya's persistence. She chased him relentlessly, determined to bite him to death!
Now, A Man could only run for his life with a bitter expression, not daring to think of anything else...
...
In the tribe.
"Strange, it's almost noon, why isn't Ya back yet?" Shuyue had come to the cave to look for her for the second time.
Normally, Ya would have arrived much earlier. Her absence today was unusual. She had assumed Ya hadn't returned from hunting, but it was already noon and she still wasn't back, which felt wrong.
She found Went, who was building a house, and told him about it. Went immediately went to ask the gatekeeping beastmen and learned that Ya had gone out with A Man last night and hadn't returned all night.
Went then went to A Man's residence, which was also empty.
"Yueyue, I heard that A Man and Ya went out together last night and haven't returned all night. They're together, so something must be going on between them. Don't worry." There was nothing to worry about with two dragon beasts.
Upon hearing this, Shuyue was indeed somewhat relieved and guessed, "Did they go out to cultivate their feelings?"
"Perhaps. Ya isn't an ordinary female, so you don't need to worry too much about her."
Shuyue nodded. "I understand. You carry on with your work. I'll go visit my sister; the child is also at my sister's."
"Okay, I'll cook lunch when I get back." Went wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hair damp with perspiration, exuding a masculine charm.
Shuyue whistled inwardly. Her man was so handsome. She hummed a little tune and left.
When she arrived at Shuxin's house, she unexpectedly encountered Miao Xiaocui, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Shuyue narrowed her eyes. The one holding Miao Xiaocui wasn't Yin Xiao, but another beastman. Had she found a new partner again?
The moment Miao Xiaocui saw her, her expression changed. Thinking of needing Shuxin to treat her illness, she had no choice but to put on a smiling face for her sister.
Her expression shifted constantly, causing her face to stiffen. Her smile was fake and unnatural. "Shuyue, you're here too."
Shuyue nodded. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Miao Xiaocui nodded slightly. "Yes, I recently... got my period, and it's quite painful. I wanted to ask Shuxin sister to take a look."
"Oh, then come in." Shuyue entered the door before her.
Miao Xiaocui followed closely behind.
"Sister, Miao Xiaocui isn't feeling well and has come to see you for treatment." Shuyue entered and naturally sat on the sofa, picking up Shu An, who was crawling around.
When Shuxin heard it was Miao Xiaocui, she frowned almost imperceptibly. After the beast tide, she didn't have a good impression of her.
Miao Xiaocui had already entered. "Shuxin sister."
Shuxin nodded slightly. "Let me feel your pulse."
A few minutes later, Shuxin said, "Your physical condition has improved. Being able to menstruate normally indicates recovery. Have you been taking Snow Crystal Fruit recently?"
Miao Xiaocui nodded. "Yes, Shuxin sister. You said my body had gotten better, so why is it still so painful?"
"It's normal. You need to recuperate slowly. Your constitution is weak, so it's best not to touch cold water during this period. A male's body generates a lot of heat. You can have your partner warm your lower abdomen with their hands, which can relieve the pain." Shuxin conscientiously explained the precautions.
