127: Who will come with me?

Nan Zhisui curled her lips into a smile and said, "Lan Xing, your heart rate is 52 beats per minute."

"52?" Lan Xing didn't know much about the number, but it was clearly much lower than White Fox's 142.

Lan Xing said in a panic, "Sister, I clearly felt my heart beating very fast. Really!"

He seemed afraid that Nan Zhisui would misunderstand something and said very urgently, "My heart really is racing for you, truly! It's clearly beating so fast!"

Nan Zhisui put away the stethoscope and said, "It is fast, very fast."

Lan Xing didn't understand. "But my heartbeat seems to be much slower than Brother Xiao Bai's."

Nan Zhisui explained, "You are different from White Fox. White Fox's normal heart rate is 100 beats per minute. But for fish, the normal heart rate is only 30 beats per minute."

"Your heart rate has already reached 52 now, Lan Xing." Nan Zhisui reached out to touch the right side of his chest, the corners of her mouth curling up. "It's too fast. Calm down, okay?"

The cheeks of the Merfolk Male, who had just reached adulthood, turned red.

"It's very fast, right?" Lan Xing asked.

"Very fast."

"It's telling you that I like you, right?"

Nan Zhisui couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Lan Xing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great."

The Little Merman's appearance was truly endearing, and Nan Zhisui couldn't resist kissing his cheek.

Nan Zhisui smiled dotingly, "Let's go. I'll accompany you to the ocean tonight."

Lan Xing's beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with stars in an instant. "Mhm!"

His brothers-in-law were right.

To win the favor of the Female Master Sister, one must take the initiative.

Xuan Jin's dark eyes watched Nan Zhisui jump into the ocean, and he clicked his tongue twice. "It's Lan Xing tonight, huh."

The Little Female has chosen White Fox and Lan Xing, but she has never proactively chosen him!

The poor Black Snake Beastman made eye contact with the dejected Chi Xiao.

Xuan Jin suddenly felt that no matter what, he was better off than Chi Xiao.

At least he had slept with the Little Female many times, while Chi Xiao hadn't even once yet... During the days Nan Zhisui spent waiting for the Myriad Beast City priests, the house was filled with the smoke of competition; every day was very lively!

Xuan Jin threw today's prey at the entrance of the Cave. He boldly took the most tender meat and, after smiling at the other three, went to the side to grill meat for the Little Female.

Lan Xing caught several of the freshest fish from the sea and prepared sashimi while waiting for Nan Zhisui.

Seeing that these two had already started preparing meat, White Fox began slicing vegetables, planning to make some vegetarian dishes for Nan Zhisui.

Only Chi Xiao looked lost.

Once all the food was ready, the family of nine gathered around the large stone table to eat happily.

"Little Female, eat some meat." Xuan Jin sliced the prepared meat and placed it on her plate.

Lan Xing also smiled and said, "Sister, this is your favorite caviar."

White Fox silently pushed two plates of green vegetables toward her.

Chi Xiao silently focused on his meal.

Nan Zhisui: "..."

"Thank you, everyone!"

After speaking, Nan Zhisui first reached her chopsticks toward Xuan Jin's grilled meat. Just as Xuan Jin was about to smile, Nan Zhisui shifted her target, wrapping the caviar and vegetables inside the meat slice, picking it up, and eating it in one bite.

Xuan Jin, White Fox, and Lan Xing: "..."

Chi Xiao kept eating.

White Fox asked with a smile, "Do you like it?"

Nan Zhisui nodded.

White Fox asked again with a smile, "Then which one is your favorite?"

Nan Zhisui: "..." A death trap of a question!

She said with a smile, "Meat dishes, seafood, and vegetables are all excellent. I need to eat all of them, and I like them all. Because of these dishes, I have balanced nutrition and stay healthy and beautiful!"

As she was speaking, a strong wind carrying a sense of threat swept past.

An enemy attack?

Chi Xiao, Xuan Jin, White Fox, and Lan Xing—the four beast husbands—instantly protected Nan Zhisui and the Cubs.

They're here!

Nan Zhisui stood up.

At that moment, the three Eight-Patterned Priests, including Hu Qian, appeared opposite them, accompanied by a snow-white Sacred Deer.

"Priests from Myriad Beast City?"

The leader was an Eight-Patterned Eagle Beastman priest. Ying Li nodded politely to Nan Zhisui and said, "Yes. We are priests from Myriad Beast City. I am Priest Ying Li. This is Priest Bao He, and that one you already know is Hu Qian."

The White Leopard Priest asked, "You are the Female, Nan Zhisui, who committed the great Crime of Killing a Female in Stone Village, correct?"

Chi Xiao looked as if facing a great enemy. "Ying Li, Bao He, Hu Qian... three eight-patterned Great Priests?"

White Fox said, "Myriad Beast City is really showing respect, actually arranging for three eight-patterned Great Priests to capture my female master?"

Bao He's gaze swept over the Males before him.

Eagle King Chi Xiao, Snake King Xuan Jin, this one said to be a previously undiscovered Fox King named White Fox, and this one is the Merman Prince from the ocean, named Lan Xing.

This Female had actually formed contracts with so many beast kings of the East. She was truly an extraordinary Female.

No wonder Hu Qian couldn't handle it.

The priests' gazes fell on Nan Zhisui again, sizing her up at a glance.

Black hair and black eyes, bright eyes, and smooth, delicate skin. Although she was thin, she was very beautiful and attractive.

No wonder she could contract so many outstanding Males.

Nan Zhisui stepped forward from between her four beast husbands and asked, "Are you still trying to arrest me because of the Crime of Killing a Female?

But the two Females, Fox Heart and Hu Zi, committed many evils and attempted to harm my beast husbands and Cubs. I only fought back in self-defense. It was legitimate self-defense."

Ying Li's eyes were cold as he said, "Females in the Beast World are becoming fewer and fewer. One of the duties of the Priest Hall is to protect Females. Therefore, regardless of whether it was self-defense, you cannot kill a Female."

"That's truly unreasonable."

Ying Li said, "Reason is determined by beastmen. What we, the Great Priests of Myriad Beast City, say is the reason."

After speaking, he also looked at Xuan Jin and Chi Xiao.

"Xuan Jin, Chi Xiao. You two disregarded the rules of Myriad Beast City and provoked and assaulted a priest of our Myriad Beast City; you are equally guilty. But considering you were protecting your female master, we will let it go this time."

Hu Qian said anxiously, "Ying Li, what do you mean? Was I beaten for nothing?"

This world was just that unfair. Fights between Males could be handled lightly, but if a Female was oppressed, it was a serious crime.

Bao He turned to comfort Hu Qian. "How could it be for nothing? It wasn't for nothing."

White Fox revealed his beast markings. "Our female master is very important to us. We will not allow you to take her away. Moreover, she committed the act of killing Hu Zi and Fox Heart for my sake. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me."

Ying Li said, "The five regions of the East are desolate and lack spiritual essence; it is not easy for several Seven-Striped Beast Kings to grow here. To be honest, I don't want to fight you."

Xuan Jin said jokingly, "Then that's perfect. Let's just let this matter drop."

Ying Li did not answer Xuan Jin directly. He said, "However, I don't think there is any need for you to resist."

"According to the laws of Myriad Beast City, Nan Zhisui is a Female, a first-time offender, and there were extenuating circumstances. In summary, the Punishment Department of Myriad Beast City sentences Nan Zhisui to be exiled to the Eastern Wasteland Mining Area for one month."

If a Male had committed such a great crime as killing a Female, it would have been a death sentence. But the Beast World's punishment for Females was very light. She would only go to the Eastern Mining Area to mine for a month as a warning.

The Eastern Wasteland Mining Area? For one month?

The Male beastmen all breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Xiao was also stunned, and the tall Male began to ponder.

"If she goes to the Eastern Wasteland," White Fox asked, "can a beast husband accompany her?"

Ying Li looked at the four beasts and said, "One beast husband may be chosen to accompany her."

White Fox said, "We will discuss it."

"Fine. Once you have decided, you can set off tomorrow."

On Nan Zhisui's side, the four beast husbands each expressed their views.

Chi Xiao said, "The Little Female is so fragile, how can she go to the Eastern Wasteland to mine? Let alone a month, she won't even last a day."

White Fox said, "The environment there is indeed poor. Moreover, those there are all Criminal Beasts; they might be difficult to get along with."

As a fish who lived in the water year-round, Lan Xing felt his whole body become dry and itchy just imagining that water-scarce place.

"Sister, don't go. Our East Sea can stand up to Myriad Beast City. They need salt, so they won't dare offend us."

Xuan Jin glanced at the other beasts. He remained silent, keeping his gaze fixed on Nan Zhisui.

Their opinions weren't important; the Little Female's thoughts were what mattered.

Nan Zhisui said, "I should go."

The four handsome beast husbands all looked at her together.

"If I don't go, I'll come into conflict with Myriad Beast City. Besides, the Sacred Deer has the ability to track people; I'll be found no matter where I run."

"It's only for a month anyway. I'll save the beastmen of the East some trouble."

"Sister!" Lan Xing cried out in a panic.

Nan Zhisui looked at her four husbands.

"Who will accompany me?"

The four beast husbands said in unison, "I will!"
