Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 66

This time, Mi Yue truly felt that something was wrong.

“I said I don’t like you anymore, and I want to end our partnership.”

Xiu Ka even gave Mi Yue a push, nearly knocking her to the ground.

“Xiu Ka, are you really breaking up with me?”

Mi Yue couldn’t believe it and asked again.

This time, Xiu Ka didn’t answer, he only nodded heavily.

Mi Yue clenched her fists tightly and silently stared at Xiu Ka, asking inwardly, “System, if I end my partnership with Xiu Ka now, will it affect the gratitude points and virtue points I’ve already earned?”

[Host, it won’t affect them.]

After receiving the system’s answer, Mi Yue let out a sigh of relief.

Losing a man wasn’t terrifying, what was terrifying was losing her life because of it.

Since the gratitude and virtue points she had already earned wouldn’t be affected, there was no need for her to dwell on it.

“Fine. If you want to end our partnership, then I agree. From now on, there’s nothing left between us.”

As she spoke these words, Mi Yue felt a sharp pang in her heart.

She didn’t want to stay here any longer. Ignoring the others present, she turned and left the city gates.

Seeing Mi Yue’s unstable state, Claude grew worried that something might happen. After comforting Vasali with a few words and telling her to rest well, he turned his gaze to Xiu Ka.

This male, though handsome, was utterly spineless, abandoning his bonded mate just to cling to his sister.

Claude couldn’t help but look down on such a person.

He didn’t linger at the city gates either. Once he had someone escort Vasali inside, he returned to the stone house to check on Mi Yue.

As soon as he entered, he saw Mi Yue sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, her face filled with sorrow.

“Mi Yue, that male isn’t worth your grief. You’ll meet someone better than him in the future.”

Mi Yue looked up when she heard Claude enter and quickly wiped the tears from her face.

Nodding, she replied, “Claude, don’t worry. I won’t let it bother me anymore.”

Some people were simply heartless and ungrateful. There was no need for her to keep holding onto them, doing so would only hurt herself.

“Claude, I want to ask you to keep a secret for me.”

Claude had already guessed what she wanted him to keep quiet about.

“You want me to keep your pregnancy a secret, don’t you?”

Mi Yue nodded. “Yes. Can I leave? I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

“You want to leave Lion City? Where would you go? You’re pregnant and alone, it wouldn’t be safe for you to leave now.”

Claude frowned. If Mi Yue insisted on leaving, he didn’t know how to stop her.

But the outside world was indeed dangerous, especially for a pregnant female.

“I want to go to the Inner Sea to find my other mate. He’s a male from the Shark Tribe, and he’s waiting for me there.”

“The Inner Sea?”

Mi Yue nodded.

Claude fell into thought. If Mi Yue was heading to the Inner Sea, he might actually be able to help.

“If you’re going to the Inner Sea, I might be able to assist you.”

“In a while, I’ll be going there to trade for salt. You can come with me, it’ll be much safer that way.”

“Alright, then I’ll trouble you for that. Claude, you’ve taken good care of me these past few days, never neglecting my food or clothing. I’m very grateful to you.”

Mi Yue wore an embarrassed expression, while Claude simply waved it off.

“You saved my life and gave me medicine to control my asthma. It’s only right that I do these things for you.”

Though Claude spoke these words, his heart was filled with guilt, after all, it was his sister’s doing that had brought Mi Yue to Lion City in the first place.

Mi Yue stayed in Lion City for the time being, but as her pregnancy progressed, she gradually found it harder to cope.

She began experiencing morning sickness. The mere sight of food made her nauseous, and she often vomited.

Eating became a torment for her. No matter what food was placed in front of her, it failed to spark her appetite, instead, it only made her feel worse.

She tried many different dishes, but the result was almost always the same, needlessly wasting plenty of good food.

Unable to eat properly for so long, her nutrition suffered, and she grew thinner by the day.

Seeing this, Claude grew concerned.

If the little female continued like this, her body would eventually break down. By then, not only would the unborn cub be at risk, but Mi Yue’s own life could be in danger.

So, to help Mi Yue eat, Claude personally researched ways to make food more palatable.

Thanks to his care, Mi Yue managed to eat a little more than usual, so much so that she accidentally overate.

Though the sight of food still triggered her morning sickness, that didn’t mean she didn’t feel hunger.

Finally finding something she could keep down, she ate as much as she could, only to end up stuffed.

“Alright, eating too much can cause indigestion, which isn’t good for you either. Let me take you out for a walk to help digest it.”

Claude helped Mi Yue up and made the suggestion.

Mi Yue was so full that moving was difficult at the moment.

Claude took her to the garden, where most of the flowers had already withered, leaving only greenery and trees.

Though it wasn’t as vibrant as a garden in full bloom, the lush greenery still had its own charm.

As luck would have it, they ran into Xiu Ka and Vasali.

Mi Yue didn’t notice a stone underfoot and stepped on it, nearly slipping.

“Ah!”

“Careful!”

Claude reacted swiftly, catching Mi Yue before she could hit the ground.

“Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?”

He crouched down to check her ankle and only relaxed once he confirmed she wasn’t injured.

“There are a lot of stones in the garden, watch your step. Tomorrow, I’ll have someone clear them all away.”

Though the main residence in Lion City somewhat resembled the grand courtyards of ancient times, it lacked the meticulous upkeep of those days. The paths were just ordinary dirt roads mixed with sand and stones.

“Thank you.”

Mi Yue smiled sheepishly. It was her own carelessness that had caused the trouble, and now others would have to clean up after her.

Xiu Ka witnessed the entire scene and nearly lost control, almost rushing forward to snatch Mi Yue from Claude’s arms.

[Host, the target of affection, Xiu Ka, is experiencing extreme emotional fluctuations. Please soothe him as soon as possible!]

Hearing the system’s reminder, Mi Yue paused and asked, “If I ignore him, will Xiu Ka turn dark?”

[Based on his current level of turmoil, he hasn’t reached the threshold for darkening.]

“If he won’t turn dark, then I won’t bother with him.”

Mi Yue dismissed Xiu Ka’s emotional turmoil. As long as he wouldn’t spiral into darkness, she wouldn’t waste her energy worrying about it.

Vasali noticed Xiu Ka’s expression darken and couldn’t help but laugh.

“What’s wrong? Are you jealous? You’re not even partners anymore, why are you still so hung up on her?”

“I’m not.”
