Chapter 92: Gentle Human x Fierce Wolf Beast 04

Downtown Area A.

Jian Tong followed Li Xiao into the city, his eyes wandering over the surrounding buildings, admiring the strikingly different skyscrapers. He was genuinely impressed by the craftsmanship of these beastmen and couldn’t help but glance at Li Xiao a few more times.

The beastmen of this future world were truly intelligent, their technological level far surpassing that of the 21st century and even the primitive beast world he had visited before. During his time in the No CP Department, he had been assigned to assist a tribal chief in a backward, ancient beast world, and it had been an eye-opening experience—one that nearly made him pass out from shock.

Truly a world of raw meat and blood!

Not just in terms of food, but clothing and housing were also a complete mystery to him. Caves served as their homes, and clothes were merely animal skins wrapped around their bodies. Beyond building houses, sewing clothes, or cooking, there were countless ancient customs that gave him a headache, completely shattering his understanding of the world.

Ridiculous! In that world, he experienced what it meant to be among the ancestors of the ancestors!

He spent fifty years transforming the lifestyle and customs of that beast world before retiring from such missions. He never took on another task in that kind of world again. It wasn’t that he couldn’t handle it, but he simply couldn’t endure it.

Have you ever seen ancient beastmen shouting and flaunting themselves in front of you every day? Have you witnessed clumsy beastmen accidentally setting their wooden houses on fire while cooking soup? Have you seen a barter market where fights break out every now and then?

Can you imagine going out for a walk and stumbling upon a couple in the midst of a wild encounter by the riverside? The worst part was that they weren’t the least bit shy, leaving him feeling utterly unsettled.

Even someone as experienced as him couldn’t withstand such pure and simple customs, so he decided to stay far away from the ancient beast world.

Jian Tong pulled his wandering thoughts back and turned his attention to the beastmen on the street, curious about their unique characteristics. However, before he could observe them for long, Li Xiao pulled him into his arms, forbidding him from looking at anyone else.

Li Xiao’s eyes were filled with jealousy as he looked at Jian Tong, his handsome face clouded with displeasure.

“Tong Tong, you can touch my tail and ears. You’re not allowed to look at them anymore!”

Jian Tong: (⊙_⊙) Elegant.

I’m just curious, not planning to take them home and collect them.

Seeing Jian Tong’s silence, Li Xiao directly draped his coat over Jian Tong’s head, scooped him up by the waist, and swiftly headed toward his private villa.

Passersby who saw him didn’t dare to approach, keeping as much distance as possible.

Jin Xiao Villa.

Li Xiao carefully placed the young man in his arms onto the bed, treating him as if he were a fragile treasure, not daring to use any excessive force.

He grabbed Jian Tong’s left hand, greedily caressing the fair and slender fingers.

“Tong Tong, you’re not a beastman, are you?”

Jian Tong instinctively wanted to kick him, but before he could even lift his foot, Li Xiao pinned him down.

Li Xiao rubbed Jian Tong’s ankle, causing the slender joint to turn slightly pink.

“You’re so reactive. It seems I guessed right.”

He licked his lips excitedly. “A pure human. I’ve suspected it for a while.”

“Your scent is sweet and enticing, and you exude a gentleness that’s completely different from beastmen. You’ve also been vague about your identity…”

He looked at Jian Tong’s face, reaching up to play with his small, snow-white ears. “The most important thing is that you don’t have any beastman traits.”

Not only were there no beastly markings, but even signature features like beast ears or tails were absent.

His entire body was unnaturally pure.

Jian Tong’s mouth twitched. He’d been careless! He should have listened to System 729 and disguised himself earlier. Otherwise, Li Xiao wouldn’t have discovered the flaw in his identity.

Who would have thought that while roasting meat in the primitive forest, he’d run into Li Xiao, who suddenly appeared? He’d been lost for ten days, not seeing a single soul, and the moment he decided to roast some rabbit meat, he encountered a passing wolf.

Was the heavens playing a cruel joke on him!?

He gritted his teeth in frustration. “So, are you planning to send me to a lab for research?”

He could guarantee that if Li Xiao dared to nod, he’d blast him into nothingness.

Li Xiao’s eyes widened in shock. “No, I’m not! Don’t talk nonsense!!!”

“I want you to be my wife.”

What lab? What research? What are you even talking about!?

“Oh, okay (~′).”

Jian Tong relaxed slightly, his gaze drawn to the wolf ears that had popped up on Li Xiao’s head.

So soft and cute… I really want to touch them…

He secretly reached up and brushed the pointed, upright gray wolf ears. The warm, fuzzy sensation made his eyes curve with delight.

They’re so fun to touch~

Li Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he couldn’t help but pull the young man closer, his large hand resting on that slender waist, surprised by its softness.

Is this what a pure human feels like?

His waist is so soft, so slender…

The wolf beast’s brown eyes were fixed on the person in front of him as he leaned in closer.

He caressed Jian Tong’s face, once again startled by the delicate, smooth skin.

“Why is every part of you so tender?”

Li Xiao guiltily looked at the faint red marks left on Jian Tong’s face where he had touched him, as well as the slightly reddened earlobes and ankles.

“If I said it wasn’t on purpose, would you believe me?”

Jian Tong glared at him. “What do you think?”

He felt like a kitten being playfully pawed by a fierce beast, who could easily tear off a chunk of fur with a single swipe.

Li Xiao, unashamed and bold, declared, “Anyway, I’ve told you. Whether you believe it or not, you’re staying with me from now on.”

“If you need anything, just tell me. I’ll take care of you.”

Jian Tong: Uh…

Li Xiao ≈ A free long-term meal ticket.

Li Xiao leaned in and kissed the dazed young man, feeling utterly satisfied. “Wait for me to arrange an identity for you, and then we’ll go register our marriage.”

“From now on, if you want to go out, you have to call me. Otherwise, stay home.”

He pinched Jian Tong’s chin warningly, raising an eyebrow with a smile. “Don’t run around. If others discover your identity, they won’t be as accommodating as I am.”

Jian Tong obediently agreed.

Even if he went out, he might not find his way back. Who knows where he’d end up? After all, being directionless was just his nature.

He tugged on Li Xiao’s collar. “Can you really protect me from being dissected by others?”

Li Xiao’s eyes darkened. “I can protect you. You don’t need to worry.”

He pulled Jian Tong’s wrist, drawing him into his arms, unwilling to let go of the human’s hand.

The human’s hand was unnaturally soft and warm, making him reluctant to release the lost human he had captured, wanting to keep caressing it forever.

“I’m involved in some business…” He didn’t specify his profession, glancing briefly at the obedient Jian Tong before continuing, “It’s enough to keep you safe and sound.”

Jian Tong tilted his head, staring at him, feeling that whatever business Li Xiao was involved in wasn’t exactly legal.

Could this guy be part of the underworld?

Looking at Li Xiao’s fierce and cold demeanor, it wasn’t impossible.

Well, whatever. Whether it’s the legitimate or underworld, it doesn’t affect his plan to take a break in this world.

The task System chose this time was quite relaxing, giving him a chance to catch his breath and rest.
