Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 52

“Brother Xiangyang, what are you talking about? How could I possibly not welcome you? I just didn’t react for a moment.”

The scene was a bit awkward, but Mi Yue still hurried to explain.

As soon as he entered the villa’s living room, Li Xiangyang saw Xing Chi.

“I have something to discuss with the Young Miss. Please excuse yourself.”

Li Xiangyang had only just stepped inside and was already trying to kick someone out. Xing Chi was very displeased.

But Mi Yue was present, and he knew he couldn’t cause trouble for her here, so he just pursed his lips and stood up.

However, he wasn’t about to be so obedient. He deliberately walked over and, right in front of Li Xiangyang, planted a kiss on Mi Yue’s cheek.

“You two talk. I’m going to see the child now.” After tossing out this sentence, Xing Chi left the living room.

Li Xiangyang stood in the center of the living room, utterly shocked and furious.

What had he just heard?

They had a child? When did this happen?

“A child? You two have a child?”

Li Xiangyang found it all too incredible. He had never seen any sign of Mi Yue being pregnant, yet they suddenly had a child. Could they have adopted one?

“No, it’s not like that. Don’t misunderstand. The child he was talking about is a few baby sharks we’ve been raising recently.”

“Xing Chi is very fond of marine life, so he calls them his babies.”

Hearing Mi Yue’s explanation, Li Xiangyang relaxed slightly.

But it wasn’t so easy to calm down from such a violent emotional swing. He took a few deep breaths before speaking slowly.

“Young Miss, you’re still naive about the world. You need to be careful of Xing Chi.”

“I’ve investigated him and found many suspicious points about his identity. It would be best if you stayed away from him.”

“Brother Xiangyang, you’ve misunderstood. Xing Chi is a good person.”

“But his identity is truly highly suspicious. You’ll be at risk being with someone like him.”

Li Xiangyang’s tone grew heavier. He hadn’t expected Mi Yue to defend that man so staunchly.

“Don’t worry, Brother Xiangyang. Xing Chi’s temper is a bit strange, but he’s a good person. He won’t harm me.”

Seeing Mi Yue repeatedly defend Xing Chi, Li Xiangyang felt there was nothing more to say.

“If that’s the case, then there’s no need for me to say anything more.”

Li Xiangyang left the mid-levels villa, feeling somewhat dejected.

Mi Yue quietly watched him leave and closed the door after he was gone.

…

Meanwhile, in the Beast World.

In the end, Xiu Ka had failed to escape the bounty hunters. At this very moment, he was locked in a dungeon.

Although he was now imprisoned and had lost his freedom, the fortunate thing was that the bounty hunters hadn’t harmed him.

Of course, Xiu Ka didn’t think Bu Tai would be so kind.

It was probably because he was meant to be paired with that little female. If his appearance was marred, how could they fool her?

“Xiu Ka, you cannot escape my grasp. You are also my son, and I don’t wish for you to be hurt, so just obediently agree.”

Xiu Ka quietly looked at the father standing before him.

At this moment, every word coming out of this male’s mouth was the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Admitting he was his son? Did he dare to place a hand on his own conscience and repeat that sentence?

“Bu Tai, give up. It’s impossible for me to agree.”

“I don’t love Vasali, and I don’t want to become her mate.”

Xiu Ka’s words were resolute, so Bu Tai stopped wasting his breath and went straight to torture.

“Xiu Ka, you brought this upon yourself. I’d like to see just how tough your bones are!”

Bu Tai had a beastman servant bring a long whip and lashed it viciously across Xiu Ka’s back, again and again.

Xiu Ka’s back was instantly a mess of torn flesh, with crimson blood seeping from the wounds.

“If you agree, you can suffer less physical pain. If you keep refusing, then I’ll beat you to death.”

Xiu Ka desperately bit his lip, refusing to make a sound. This act thoroughly enraged Bu Tai.

But no matter how angry Bu Tai was, he didn’t dare to strike Xiu Ka’s face, so he could only whip his back.

“You still won’t beg for mercy? What good does defying your own father do you?”

Another vicious lash came down, and Xiu Ka let out a muffled grunt.

“Your bones really are tough.”

“You’re not afraid of pain, but what about your grandfather? Are you going to disregard his life and death as well?”

Following that, two more lashes struck Xiu Ka’s body. He couldn’t hold on any longer.

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but his vision went black, and he fainted, collapsing to the ground.

Almost as soon as Xiu Ka hit the ground, Mi Yue received a notification from the system.

[Host, Xiu Ka is currently facing grave danger and requires rescue.]

[Host, Xiu Ka is currently facing grave danger and requires rescue.]

The system repeated the sentence twice, which was enough to show how urgent the situation was.

“Facing danger?”

Mi Yue quickly took out her phone to check on Xiu Ka’s condition. Through the phone screen, she saw the wounds on his back.

“Xiu Ka! Xiu Ka, wake up!”

Xiu Ka was in a semi-conscious state. Although he could hear Mi Yue’s calls, he couldn’t move or speak.

Mi Yue was frantic. Through her phone, she could only send some Yunnan Baiyao, anti-inflammatory drugs, and rubbing alcohol for disinfection.

Xiu Ka was jolted awake by the pain in his back, breaking out in a cold sweat.

When he tried to shift his body to change position, he found that he had been tied up securely.

He didn’t even have that last bit of freedom anymore.

As he struggled, he noticed some new things beside him. They looked like medicine.

These things were very familiar; Yue had used them on him before.

Did Yue know he had been captured?

Xiu Ka tried to reach for the bottle of alcohol, but he was bound too tightly and couldn’t move his arm.

He tried several times, but all his attempts ended in failure.

Mi Yue watched with a heavy heart. If this continued, Xiu Ka would definitely die in there.

His health bar was now dropping bit by bit.

“Xing Chi!”

Mi Yue called out, and Xing Chi immediately ran to her side.

“Yue, what’s wrong? I was just feeding the children some small fish.” Xing Chi looked at Mi Yue, his face full of confusion.

“Xiu Ka’s been captured. He’s seriously injured right now. If we don’t go save him in time, he’ll die.”

Hearing this, Xing Chi’s brow furrowed slightly. “Bu Tai is really ruthless with him.”

Xing Chi let out a cold laugh.

“We have to go back to the Beast World immediately. Every moment we delay now, Xiu Ka is in more danger.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Although Xing Chi was reluctant, he still agreed.

He knew that Xiu Ka held a place in Mi Yue’s heart, and he didn’t want her to be heartbroken if Xiu Ka died, so he had no choice but to agree.

Before they left, Xing Chi went to the backyard pool to look at the baby sharks. He adored the baby sharks the little female had given birth to for him; they were a symbol of their combined bloodlines.

He wished he could carry these cubs with him at all times, but they were still in their baby shark form and couldn’t leave the water. For now, he could only temporarily place them in the swimming pool.
