26: I'm going to die!!

Hu Zi walked out, surrounded by Males.

Hu Zi's words were truly unpleasant. Hu Qi, trembling in her arms, was hugged tightly by her. "Don't be afraid. Your Father Beast isn't stupid enough to find you a stepmother like that."

She hoped White Fox was smart. If his former female master was trash, then it didn't matter if he wanted to sever the relationship.

But if he truly severed the partnership and followed this Fox Female, Hu Qi would never have a good day again with a stepmother like her.

Hu Qi's tense body gradually relaxed.

Hu Zi's gaze slowly lingered on White Fox before abruptly falling upon Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui, who was holding little Hu Qi, also looked up and saw her.

Most Females in the Beast World were ugly; even those who were broad-shouldered and large-waisted could be called beauties.

Because Females were scarce, all Females were treasures, and Males in the Beast World had extremely low standards for Females. Thus, in the Beast World, as long as someone was a Female, they would be revered by Males.

As for the so-called short Females or fat Females, as long as they were fertile and could bear cubs, they were the perfect Females in the hearts of Males.

Nan Zhisui rarely saw good-looking Females. Hu Zi probably counted as one.

The Fox Female before her seemed to have a unique understanding of aesthetics. She was beautiful, bordering on seductive, and even decorated herself using tree sap and flower juice.

While Nan Zhisui appraised Hu Zi, Hu Zi was also appraising Nan Zhisui.

This Female had never been seen before, but her skin was truly excellent, clear and translucent white. How did she cultivate such good skin?

Her eyes were black but very bright, like they were filled with stars. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, beautiful even without drawing them in. And that small nose, those small lips. Tsk tsk tsk.

"Who are you?" Hu Zi asked while scrutinizing Nan Zhisui.

"Nan Zhisui."

Hu Zi walked closer and circled her. "What is your relationship with Hu Qi? Why are you holding him?"

Little Hu Qi quickly hugged Nan Zhisui tightly, as if afraid she would let go of him.

Nan Zhisui did not let go of Hu Qi. She gently patted Hu Qi's back and said, "We are friends."

"Friends?" Hu Zi stopped after circling Nan Zhisui twice. "You look decent. How many beast husbands do you have?"

Nan Zhisui keenly sensed that Hu Zi was trying to gauge her strength.

In the Beast World, the Female is the core unit of the Family. That is to say, the more beast husbands you have, and the stronger and more formidable they are, the more powerful your Family becomes.

In other words, the more powerful your Family, the harder you are to mess with.

White Fox subtly positioned himself in front of Nan Zhisui.

Hu Zi glanced at him disdainfully. "What? You look down on me, but you fancy this Female? Do you think she's prettier than me?"

White Fox paused, then nodded. He replied, almost defensively, "Nan Zhisui is indeed prettier than you."

After a slight pause, he added, "Much prettier."

Nan Zhisui extended her hand toward the little blue snake that had shed scales on the ground. She Yanger hesitated for a moment before wrapping himself around her wrist.

Although his rationality told him that he would bring disaster to the person he liked.

But refusing Pretty Older Sister was simply too difficult and too cruel.

Once both cubs were on Nan Zhisui, Nan Zhisui calmly said to Hu Zi, "Is it necessary for me to tell you how many beast husbands I have?"

"Also, what relationship do White Fox and his son have with me?"

"What? Does White Fox have some relationship with you? Are you able to govern over the father and son?"

"You!" Hu Zi choked, and began to scrutinize her carefully.

"This is Stone Village. Even if you are pretty and have many beast husbands, this is still Stone Village, our settlement. For an outsider Female like you to dare provoke me alone in Stone Village, isn't that unwise?"

"Is that so?" Nan Zhisui pondered for a moment. "But I don't seem to be afraid."

"You're not afraid?"

Hu Zi examined her closely.

Such a beautiful Female must have many beast husbands following her. Moreover, daring to be so arrogant and domineering in an outside village means she must have some backing.

Are her beast husbands very powerful? Does she perhaps have a Three-Striped Beast Warrior? Surely not a Beast General.

She shouldn't be provoked carelessly. She must not be underestimated.

Hu Zi stood firm and looked at her. "Why did you come to Stone Village? Do you also want White Fox?"

White Fox's beautiful eyes subtly glanced toward her.

However, this woman, who came from Earth, merely said, "Drop your condescending attitude."

"Also, none of your business."

"You!"

In Stone Village, Males would fight fiercely to compete for rights and status, and also to compete for Females.

However, a verbal confrontation between Females was actually quite a sight to behold.

The Fox Beastmen of Stone Village rarely saw two such beautiful Females engaging in a sharp verbal duel, and they watched with great interest.

"That Female is called Nan Zhisui, three characters long."

"Most of the Beastmen names in our Stone Village are only one character."

Yes, Beastmen naming is very simple. For example, White Fox is actually just called Bai, Hu Qi is just called Qi, and Hu Zi is just called Zi.

Fox is merely their Beastman race.

Therefore, when they heard a three-character name for the first time, they were quite curious.

"Nan Zhisui. Could Nan or Nan Zhi be a certain race?"

"Never heard of it, I don't know."

"I feel like this Female who rejected Hu An seems quite protective of White Fox's Family."

"White Fox, this Male who was sold by a Female, can still be defended by such a beautiful Female. He is too fortunate!"

"If you ask me, White Fox has already been abandoned. He could totally risk severing the partnership and finding a new Female. With White Fox's looks, he could even be this beautiful Female's guardian beast."

Trouble often gathers at the door of a widower.

Nan Zhisui merely took the side of White Fox and his son, helping them out to protect Hu Qi.

Yet these people immediately linked White Fox and her together, as if both she and White Fox had lost their reputations.

The term guardian beast was even brought up!

Isn't it a shame for such a handsome Male to become a guardian beast?

Nan Zhisui looked up at White Fox. This Male didn't seem to intend to explain himself. Was he just going to let the gossip spread freely?

"White Fox!" Hu Zi glared furiously at White Fox. "We are from the same village, and we grew up together! Are you really going to help this outsider deal with me? Can't you distinguish between an outsider and one of your own?"

"And her!" Hu Zi pointed at Nan Zhisui and said, "Are you really going to protect her? Are you not choosing me because you want to choose her?"

Nan Zhisui was completely tense!

This is killing me.

She shouldn't have stepped forward. Is she going to get herself dragged into this just for stepping forward?

Nan Zhisui looked up at White Fox. White Fox looked down at her, and she shook her head in terror.

Stop it, stop it. You are a Male with a female master. I never thought about forcing you to sever your partnership, nor did I ever think about mating with you!

"Choose what? There's no need to choose! Skip this topic, quick!" Nan Zhisui said nervously.

However, White Fox seemed not to understand her words. His expression was only extremely strange when he saw her shaking her head.

Then, he gave a light cough and looked up at Hu Zi and the surrounding Beastmen.

"Who is an insider and who is an outsider? Of course I can tell the difference."

"If I absolutely had to choose between Nan Zhisui and Hu Zi..."

"Choose? That word isn't quite accurate. Because there's no need to choose at all, and no choice exists."

"In my options, there has only ever been Nan Zhisui."

Nan Zhisui: "...?!"

I'm going to die!!
