Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Dumping the Body
Bai Chaosi was the calmest of the men. After all, he was the only one among them who didn’t have a child.
So, the pain he’d caused Shen Yue was surely less.
Besides, their White Fox Clan had never been the ones to bring up breaking the engagement back then.
Furthermore, even when rumors had spread that Miss Shen Yue of the Duke Mansion was plain and infertile, he had never suggested breaking the engagement.
After all, his own body was like stagnant water. He had never even experienced the mating heat a male was supposed to feel.
The clan elders had found countless physicians for him, but none of them could do anything.
’So what right do I have to look down on the young lady of the Duke Mansion?’
He had once believed that, feeling no desire for women, he would never be able to marry or have his own offspring. Even if he did marry, he wouldn’t be able to provide the pleasure a Beast Husband was meant to give his Female Master.
But he never expected that a few months ago, in Beastification City, he would meet the female now resting in his arms.
Only then did he realize it wasn’t that he lacked passion, had some hidden ailment, or was uninterested in women. He simply hadn’t met the woman who could send him into a mating heat.
With this in mind, Bai Chaosi ignored the thoughts of the four men before him and carried Shen Yue straight back to the bamboo house.
But he never could have imagined what came next.
When he stood inside and saw the seven little cubs lying in the room, he froze completely.
The gentle, aloof composure he always wore shattered, piece by piece.
One of the little cubs was sleeping soundly, its fur snow-white, its body tiny.
A pair of small white ears twitched. Its pointed little snout suggested it was dreaming of a tasty treat, as it licked its little pink tongue, yet its posture was ineffably noble and elegant.
His eyes widened.
There is an instinctual connection between father and son. The scent of their shared bloodline, wafting from the little one, filled his senses and flooded his mind.
He couldn’t believe it.
’Is... is this my cub?’
’I have a child, too?’
’This woman bore me a child, too?!’
He stared at the seven cubs lined up in a neat row, utterly shocked.
At that moment, he finally understood why the four men outside were fighting so desperately over her.
’Because this female... she’s just too precious! There’s no one else like her in the world.’
Lying in his arms, Shen Yue couldn’t keep up the act any longer.
’Why hasn’t this man put me down yet? Why isn’t he leaving?’ Wondering this, she stealthily cracked an eyelid and peeked upward.
Her gaze fell upon his perfect jawline and tense expression.
’This man...’
’Isn’t this the handsome man I nibbled on and caressed in my dream?!’
’Holy crap, so it wasn’t a dream after all.’
Just as she was staring, mesmerized...
Bai Chaosi, who was holding her, abruptly looked down.
Their eyes met.
Startled, Shen Yue snapped her eyes shut.
But she knew.
’It’s over.’
’I’m busted!’
The man chuckled softly.
His teasing tone made it sound as if he’d just encountered the most delightful thing in the world.
"Awake now?"
Shen Yue pretended not to hear, refusing to admit it or open her eyes.
Bai Chaosi didn’t call her out on it. A faint smile graced his gentle, aloof features.
He gazed at the woman feigning sleep in his arms, his voice low and soft.
"Did you have a nice nap in my arms?"
His voice was like smooth jade—intimate and alluring.
The hairs on Shen Yue’s arms stood on end.
’What a devilishly charming man!’
Noticing her body tense up, Bai Chaosi’s lips slowly curled into a smirk.
He lowered his head slightly, his warm breath ghosting over her ear.
"How about I hold you all night long? I don’t get tired."
The warmth on her ear tickled.
Her heart immediately began to race.
’So seductive.’
’I can’t take it, I can’t take it!’
"Consider it a thank-you gift for taking my innocence back in Beastification City."
BOOM!
A jolt went through Shen Yue.
’I took his innocence in Beastification City?’
’No way... is this man one of the ones the original host slept with in Beastification City?’
’Does that mean he’s the biological father of one of my cubs?’
’He can’t be here to take the child from me, can he?’
’Like hell he is!’
Shen Yue immediately grew wary.
Bai Chaosi, completely oblivious to the change in the woman in his arms, continued to murmur in her ear:
"I traveled a great distance to find you. Tell me, how should I punish you for it? Perhaps I should carry you outside and have you choose in front of everyone..."
Before Bai Chaosi could finish, he froze.
He looked down in shock...
The next second, his entire body went rigid and toppled over.
Shen Yue, clutching a silver needle, leaped out of his arms.
She glared indignantly at the man lying stiff as a board on the ground.
"Hmph. Punish me, will you?"
"I haven’t even sued you for raping the original host yet, damn it!"
’Most importantly, he wanted to carry me out and make me choose between five men?!’
’Is that kind of chaotic scene any place for a person to be?’
’I’d like to live a few more years, thank you very much.’
Shen Yue squatted down and studied Bai Chaosi.
Tsk, tsk.
’He really is gorgeous.’
’I’d say he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen—as gentle and noble as a blue lotus atop a snowy peak.’
’What a shame.’
’And yet here he is, knocked out cold by my needle!’
She glanced at the seven cubs behind her, comparing them to the man on the floor. Only Liu Bao’s fox ears bore a striking resemblance to his.
’Looks like this man is most likely Liu Bao’s biological father.’
’It’s just a guess, but I have to be on guard regardless.’
Outside, the other four men were lost in their own troubled thoughts.
But when Bai Chaosi carried Shen Yue into the bamboo house and didn’t re-emerge, they grew anxious and resentful, their imaginations running wild.
Mu Silin clenched his fists.
"Why isn’t that fox out yet!"
His subordinate beside him was just as anxious.
"I-I don’t know either, sir!"
Mu Silin’s aura grew violent.
Hiding in the shadows, Huang Ziyue’s brow was also deeply furrowed. ’That fox is incredibly cunning. He wouldn’t be doing something to that woman in there, would he?’
’I’m already at a disadvantage. If that fox really gets to her first, what will I have left to compete with? When will I ever be able to acknowledge my son?’
As the four men in the shadows stared intently at the bamboo house...
...Shen Yue, the woman who was supposed to be asleep, appeared in the doorway, laboriously dragging someone out.
The person was on the ground, stiff as a board.
She had him by one foot, dragging him from the house with all her might.
As she passed the steps of the bamboo house,
the man she was dragging slammed against them, his head hitting the steps three times with a soft thud.
And the person being mistreated was none other than...
...the very fox they had been so anxiously waiting for.
The four men: "..."
A collective silence fell over them.
And to think they had been letting their imaginations run wild all this time.
They never imagined the fox would walk in upright and be dragged out horizontally.
In the shadows, Bai Chaosi’s two subordinates stared wide-eyed.
Young Master!!
Their noble, immaculate Young Master!!
’How could he be treated like this?’
’Abuse! This is blatant abuse!’
Just then...
THUD!
As Shen Yue dragged Bai Chaosi to the courtyard gate, his body was so heavy that his head swung around and slammed directly into a nearby rock.
What a sound!
It echoed loudly in the night!
The two subordinates clapped their hands over their mouths, shedding tears of vicarious pain for their Young Master!
Shen Yue dragged Bai Chaosi all the way to the hillside where she had seen the White Fox earlier, then, without a second thought, kicked him down the slope.
Body disposal.
The four men in the shadows watched the fox tumble down the hill.
"..."
Mu Silin’s lip twitched.
’Such a vicious woman.’
