Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 24

Li Xiangyang also arranged for someone to inspect the safety of the walls and electrical fences around the hillside villa. The security personnel remained the same, but patrols were increased, and no outsiders were allowed entry without the owner’s permission.

With this decisive CEO in charge, within two hours, all the furniture and appliances were moved in, and the place was cleaned and tidied up.

By evening, everything was in order. Mi Yue sat by the three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the myriad lights of the city below, a breathtaking sight.

The soft glow of the lights cast upon her, lending her a gentle and serene aura that made all the day’s hard work feel worthwhile.

“It’s so late. Aren’t you leaving yet?” Xing Chi leaned against the wall adorned with embossed wallpaper, smirking carelessly.

Li Xiangyang pressed his thin lips together, while his assistant sneered beside him. “Shouldn’t you be the one leaving? A grown man shamelessly lingering in a young girl’s home, how embarrassing.”

Xing Chi’s expression darkened, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked. “Say that again.”

Buzz buzz buzz~~~

The vibration of her phone snapped Mi Yue out of her daze. She glanced at the screen and noticed Xing Chi’s emotional fluctuations were intense.

At the same time, she sensed the tension in the room. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing. I’ll head out first. You’ve had a long day, rest early.”

Ignoring his assistant’s indignation, Li Xiangyang led him away.

Seeing Xing Chi still fuming, Mi Yue continued to soothe him softly, “Alright, they’re gone now. Don’t be upset. I’ll order some seafood for you.”

Xing Chi snorted, but his mood gradually stabilized.

The food delivery arrived quickly. Throughout the meal, Xing Chi remained quiet, his expression grave, as if deep in thought.

Noticing no unusual activity on Feixun, Mi Yue let him be.

After dinner, Mi Yue enjoyed a relaxing bath. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she was startled to find an extra figure in her bedroom.

Instinctively tightening her bathrobe, she cautiously asked, “Xing Chi, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Here, take this.”

Xing Chi casually tossed two blue orbs toward her.

Mi Yue examined the gem-like, translucent orbs in her hand, faintly spotting something moving inside.

[Blue Crystal Orbs: A vessel of mysterious power. 10,000 orbs can be converted into 1 Virtue Point.]

!!!!

Could this be real? A way to earn Virtue Points without having to “shear sheep”!

10,000:1 ratio, 100 Virtue Points = 1,000,000 crystal orbs. A million orbs could buy her a year of life.

“Xing Chi, what are these? Where can I get more?”

Seeing the little female’s eyes sparkle with interest in the orbs, Xing Chi curled his lips. “These are crystal orbs. I found them inside the magical beasts I hunted. They’re also the currency used in Hundred Beasts City.”

“Magical beasts? Hundred Beasts City?” If they were used as currency, that meant they could be obtained through trade. “Then, can you take me to Hundred Beasts City? I really like these orbs and want to collect more.”

“You like them?” Xing Chi stepped forward, pulling Mi Yue into his arms with one swift motion. He whispered suggestively in her ear, “Become my mate, and you can have anything you want!”

“I…” She still wasn’t ready to choose a male as her lover.

She had time, she didn’t necessarily have to rely on bearing offspring to earn golden points and extend her life.

Xing Chi noticed her reluctance and his expression instantly turned cold. He pinched her delicate chin and said icily, “To reach the Beast City, we must pass through Tiger City and Lion City. Without a passage stone, you can’t enter those places.”

“Moreover, only male warriors above the Azure rank are allowed entry. There’s no way you could get in on your own.”

Having her thoughts exposed, Mi Yue blushed faintly and bit her lip, lowering her head.

Xing Chi gave her no chance to evade. He nipped at her ear lightly. “Become my mate, and I’ll even give you my life!”

A shadow of gloom flickered in his deep blue eyes. It would be best if the little female agreed, otherwise, he wouldn’t mind locking her away in an underwater cavern for the rest of her life.

“Who wants your life? Stop saying such scary things.”

“So, you’re agreeing?” Xing Chi pressed relentlessly.

Mi Yue remained silent but nodded slightly.

A triumphant smile curled Xing Chi’s lips as he scooped her up into his arms and carried her toward the bedroom.

“Wait! what are you doing?”

“You’ve agreed to be my mate. Naturally, we’re going to mate.”

Mi Yue was gently placed on the bed, but as he loomed over her, she quickly rolled away, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.

“N-no, not yet. I’m not ready.”

Xing Chi chuckled, stripping off his shirt and pants. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. Or do you prefer in the water?”

Mi Yue shook her head frantically, her mind racing until she landed on the perfect excuse.

“I haven’t gone into heat yet. We can’t pair up.” In the Beast World, a female was only considered mature after her first cycle.

Her next one wasn’t due for another half-month, she could buy herself some time.

Xing Chi frowned and leaned over her, sniffing carefully. Sure enough, there was no scent of heat on her.

Disappointment flashed across his face before he finally gritted out, “Fine, I’ll let you off this time. But once you’re in heat, you’ll make it up to me.”

Mi Yue exhaled in relief and pushed at the male pressing down on her. “Get out. I want to sleep.”

Instead of answering, Xing Chi pulled her closer, sliding a leg between hers.

The sudden proximity froze Mi Yue in place, she could feel something unmistakable.

Her voice trembled. “You… you…”

A domineering kiss silenced her, his breath hot and urgent against her lips.

Xing Chi’s deep blue eyes burned crimson, radiating an intoxicating allure.

By the time he released her, Mi Yue was gasping for air, her lungs starved.

Breathing heavily, Xing Chi brushed his thumb over her glistening lips and asked hoarsely, “Did that Li Xiangyang ever kiss you like this?”

Weak and unwilling to speak, Mi Yue only shook her head.

“What about that tiger beast?”

Annoyed by his absurd questions, Mi Yue kicked him lightly.

“Xiu Ka only sees me as a shaman. He thinks I’m a mute male.”

“Hah, what a fool.” Xing Chi dipped down to steal another kiss. “Once he hears your voice, sweet as a lark’s, he’ll never mistake you for a male again.”

“Don’t be afraid. Just let me hold you for a while.” His voice was rough with restrained desire.

Nearly an hour passed before Mi Yue finally drifted off, allowing Xing Chi’s tense nerves to ease at last.

Rolling onto his side, he gazed at the sleeping female, his heart swelling with satisfaction.

The next morning, Mi Yue took Xing Chi to gather food before returning to the Beast World.

Through their chat on Feixun, Mi Yue learned that Xiu Ka and the others were also heading towards Tiger City.

Since Mi Yue couldn’t teleport to places she hadn’t visited before, the two of them walked for two days to reach the nearest city, Tiger City.

Mi Yue was awestruck as she gazed at the towering city walls. Was this still the beast world she knew?

The stone-built walls, watchtowers, and wooden gates closely resembled ancient cities from the past.

“This is Tiger City, nothing like those small, wild tribes. Even the weakest males here are at least Blue-level.”

In the Tiger Tribe, the strongest males were only Yellow-level, while most others were merely Orange-level.

“But don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.” Xing Chi puffed out his chest with confidence.

“Alright, I believe in you.” Mi Yue smiled sweetly.
