Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 21

Mi Yue was inwardly panicked but maintained a calm facade. “You know I’m the shaman of the Tiger Tribe.”

“This is the world of the Beast God, so it’s different from the Beast Continent. There are many rules here that everyone must follow, so the things you mentioned can’t be eaten.”

Xing Chi raised an eyebrow. “Are you telling the truth?”

Mi Yue nodded firmly. “Of course!”

“I only brought you to the Beast God’s world as an exception to save you. You can’t stay here for long. After breakfast, I’ll send you back.”

Leaving a great sea beast at home made her uneasy, it was better to send him back sooner rather than later.

“Then who was that male last night?” He couldn’t care less about the so-called Beast God’s world. What he really wanted to know was the identity of the man from the previous night.

“That’s Li Xiangyang, my childhood friend. He’s very important to me, so don’t you dare hurt him,” Mi Yue said protectively.

Xing Chi scoffed. “Fine, I won’t touch him, just keep him out of my sight!”

He didn’t believe for a second that Li Xiangyang saw Mi Yue as just a sister. The way that male looked at her, it was the possessive gaze of a male toward his mate.

It put him on edge.

Mi Yue glanced at Xing Chi, still shirtless with only those ridiculous strawberry-patterned underwear covering his lower half, and felt her eyelid twitch.

She rummaged through her drawers and pulled out a white T-shirt and a pair of quick-dry athletic pants, originally bought for Xiu Ka but never given out of fear it’d be too awkward.

“Here, put these on. In the Beast God’s world, you have to wear clothes. Otherwise, you’re breaking the rules.”

Xing Chi dangled the white T-shirt, matching Mi Yue’s, between his fingers, looking unimpressed. “No way. It’s too hot.”

“You have to. The air conditioning is on, it’s not hot at all.” She didn’t care what he wore in the Beast Continent, but in her home, clothes were non-negotiable.

Seeing her stubborn expression, Xing Chi relented. “Fine, I’ll listen to you. But I’ve never worn such weird clothes before, you’ll have to help me.”

“No, I-”

“If you don’t help, I’ll just stay like this.” Xing Chi sprawled lazily on the sofa, his shameless posture leaving little to the imagination.

Furious but helpless, Mi Yue had no choice but to approach and assist him.

Xing Chi, meanwhile, acted as if his bones had turned to jelly, even lifting his arms required Mi Yue’s help.

Kneeling on the sofa, she roughly pulled the shirt over his head and yanked his arms through the sleeves.

He didn’t particularly enjoy the rough treatment, but he couldn’t bring himself to stop her.

Once the shirt was halfway on, she struggled to pull it down properly. With no other option, she mustered all her strength to haul him upright.

Xing Chi was tall, and the sudden movement pressed his face directly into Mi Yue’s chest.

Too focused on dressing him, she didn’t even notice.

The sweet, intoxicating scent unique to her filled his senses. His cheeks burned, and his breathing grew ragged.

By the time Mi Yue finally got the T-shirt on him, she sighed in relief.

At least now she didn’t have to endure the sight of his exposed chest.

“Why is your face so hot? Did I pull too hard earlier?”

Xing Chi cleared his throat. “It’s hot. You said wearing clothes wouldn’t make me hot.”

Avoiding her gaze, he tugged at the collar with his long fingers.

“Stop pulling, you’ll tear it.”

Mi Yue adjusted the central air conditioning temperature lower with the remote. “It’ll cool down soon,” she said.

She glanced at the little bear munching on strawberries, her cheeks flushing slightly. “Put your pants on yourself.” There were no underwear underneath, and she didn’t want to risk an eyeful.

Seeing Mi Yue’s reddened cheeks, Xing Chi didn’t push her further. After all, she was his little mate, teasing her was fine, but he still had to coax her if she got upset.

He had never worn sweatpants before, but after a moment’s thought, he figured them out. Once he had them on, he stood up and took a few steps.

This “animal hide” was much lighter and cooler than the seal skin he usually wrapped around himself, though the loose fit around the crotch made walking a bit awkward.

But land was nothing like the sea, so he could endure it.

[Received 30 gratitude points from Great Shark Xing Chi. Current gratitude points: 30.]

[Received 40 virtue points from Great Shark Xing Chi. Current virtue points: 115.]

[Limited-time reward: Great Sea Beast double points countdown: 28 days, 30 hours, 55 minutes remaining.]

Mi Yue clenched her fists in excitement, her voice hoarse. “I have something to take care of, I’ll be in my room.”

With that, she headed straight to her bedroom and locked the door behind her.

Xing Chi watched the closed door, pressing his tongue against the roof of his mouth. The old sea beast had warned him not to push his little mate too hard, or it might backfire.

Inside the bedroom, Mi Yue’s hands trembled as she exchanged 100 virtue points for one year of life.

[Ding! 100 virtue points exchanged for 1 year of lifespan. Remaining virtue points: 15. Host’s current lifespan: 730 days.]

A tear rolled down her cheek as she pressed her hands tightly over her mouth.

Her eyes shone with joy, but the tears wouldn’t stop flowing.

[Host has successfully obtained 100 virtue points. New exchange method unlocked: For every offspring produced by the feeding target, host will receive 1 golden point. 10 golden points can be exchanged for 1 year of lifespan.]

The news stunned Mi Yue so much she forgot to wipe her tears. Having children could also extend her life?

[Yes, Host. Moreover, shark litters are large, one pregnancy might earn you at least a year’s worth of lifespan. High-quality offspring will double the golden points received.]

Before Mi Yue could respond, the doorbell rang. Checking her phone, she realized it was probably the hotel’s room service.

“Your breakfast is here. I’ll get it.”

She opened the door to find a man in a casual suit standing there, his expression dark. Behind him loomed several unfriendly-looking young men.

Sensing trouble, Mi Yue tried to shut the door, but a blond-haired youth stepped forward with a baseball bat.

She quickly retreated, patting her pajama pockets, empty. Her phone was still on the couch, leaving her no way to call for help.

“Mi Ye, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Little cousin, I just feel so bad for Uncle. I’ve decided to voluntarily become the eldest son of the main family. This is the adoption acknowledgment, just sign it, and we’ll be siblings from now on.”

Mi Ye’s face was twisted with madness, his eyes bloodshot.

Mi Yue scoffed. “Not a chance. My father doesn’t need a son like you. He only has me, his daughter.”

Mi Ye’s expression turned icy. Grinding his teeth, he said, “Little cousin, you’re sitting on billions in inheritance, what’s wrong with sharing a little?”

“What does a girl like you need all that money for? Once you marry, it’ll just go to some other man.”

“Just hand over the position of Mi Corporation’s general manager to me. That way, you’ll have someone from your family to back you up, won’t you?”

He had been going through a rough patch lately, with even his hard-earned bonuses used to cover the company’s debts. He had become the laughingstock of the second-generation elite circle in the capital.

No matter what, today he was determined to secure the position of general manager!

“Impossible. Leave now, or I’ll have no choice but to call the police.”

“Little sister, why make things so ugly? Since polite persuasion doesn’t work, we’ll have to try another approach.”

“Get her.”

Mi Ye waved his hand, and the young men behind him rushed into the room, surrounding Mi Yue.

Mi Yue could only retreat step by step until she bumped into a solid chest.

“Thinking of laying a hand on her? Did anyone ask if Xing Chi here agrees?” Xing Chi’s calm gaze reassured Mi Yue as he shielded her behind him.

“Where did this pretty boy come from, acting so cocky? Beat him up too!” The relentless taunts of the past few days had pushed Mi Ye past the brink of reason.

True to his Blue-tier strength, Xing Chi effortlessly took down the thugs in just a few moves.

“No, no… don’t kill me!”

Terrified by the overwhelming aura radiating from Xing Chi, Mi Ye’s legs gave out. He collapsed to the ground, unable to get back up.

Just then, a group of officers in black uniforms swarmed in through the door.

Mi Ye clung to one officer’s leg as if he’d found his savior. “Officer, save me! He’s trying to kill me!”

“He’s a murderer… look, all these people on the ground, he killed them!”
