Qin Mo’s arms transformed into their beast forms, his tiger claws clenched into fists as he coldly pummeled Wei Zhuo.
The strength of beast transformation was ten times greater than that in an ordinary state. Combined with the complete suppression of their ability ranks, Qin Mo was utterly overpowering Wei Zhuo.
The one-sided beating lasted a full half hour. Even with a beastman’s formidable physical constitution, Wei Zhuo eventually passed out under the relentless assault.
Just before he lost consciousness, he heard someone threaten him in a low voice, “You think you’re worthy of forming a bond with my Female Master? If I see you in front of the Female Master again, I’ll kill you!”
Inside the villa, Yun Yang blinked as she watched the footage sent back by Butlers No. 1, 2, and 3.
Based on their brief interaction that night, Yun Yang had assumed that her beast husband belonged to the gentle and considerate type.
But the footage sent back by Butlers No. 1, 2, and 3 told her otherwise.
To have become the Deputy Commander of the Federation’s 23rd Legion before the age of twenty-five, Qin Mo’s true nature could never have been gentle.
Yun Yang was certain that the vicious threat he had just made was Qin Mo’s true personality.
He had only put on that gentle and harmless facade to win her favor.
And she had to admit, Qin Mo had succeeded in pleasing her.
Moreover, she had to admit that seeing him beat Wei Zhuo to a pulp had been both incredibly cool and immensely satisfying.
Outside the villa, Qin Mo looked at Wei Zhuo, who had passed out, then opened his smart terminal and dialed a number.
“Hello, Qin Mo of the Federation’s 23rd Legion speaking.”
“I’m at Residential Zone 3 on X92 Star. A male illegally entered a female residential area and disturbed my Female Master.”
“According to Article 17 of the Federal Female Protection Act, I believe he should receive at least six months of supervision.”
After ending the call, Qin Mo sent Wei Zhuo’s coordinates to the other party before turning around and heading back to the villa.
Butlers No. 1, 2, and 3 had already returned to the villa ahead of him, and he had no idea that every move he had made had fallen under Yun Yang’s watchful eyes.
It was not until the villa door recognized his genes and opened automatically that the footage projected by the robot butler onto the light screen in the center of the living room suddenly entered his line of sight.
Qin Mo panicked instantly.
“F-Female Master, I…”
He hurried toward the light screen, almost at a loss for what to do, wanting to block the images on it, but it was already too late.
Yun Yang’s voice carried a hint of teasing that was difficult to detect. “Qin Mo, I’ve seen everything.”
Qin Mo instantly wilted. If his ears had been in beast form, they would surely have been drooping dejectedly at that moment.
This was bad. The Female Master had seen his vicious side.
Would the Female Master hate him because of this and break off their engagement?
Qin Mo visibly grew tense.
Yun Yang stood up and deliberately approached Qin Mo slowly and calmly, as though she were doing it on purpose.
Every step the female took seemed to land directly on his heart. Qin Mo felt as though his heart was about to leap out of his chest.
He lowered his head, waiting for the female’s judgment.
Yun Yang’s unique scent drew closer. His shirt was caught and tugged, and she said, “Qin Mo, lower your head.”
Qin Mo did not understand, but obediently lowered his head.
An unfamiliar sensation landed on his face just like that.
Soft and moist, the sensation was so vivid that Qin Mo’s throat tightened slightly. “F-Female Master?”
H-He hadn’t just been dreaming, had he?
“You did a good job. This is your reward.”
Yun Yang rose onto her tiptoes and ruffled Qin Mo’s hair as if she were petting a cat.
The female’s body heat came from the top of his head. Qin Mo instinctively narrowed his eyes, savoring the brief caress.
Soon, Yun Yang withdrew her hand. “There are plenty of empty rooms in the house. Pick whichever one you like. I’m going back to my room to rest.”
Even after the Female Master had ridden upstairs on Butler No. 2’s shoulder, Qin Mo was still savoring that unbelievable sensation from moments ago.
The Female Master didn’t hate him. She had even, even kissed him!
Overwhelming joy engulfed Qin Mo in an instant. He wanted nothing more than to go find Yun Yang right then and taste that feeling again.
But the last bit of reason he had left allowed him to restrain himself.
His father had told him that he couldn’t be impatient. Everything had to come down to the Female Master’s wishes first.
They had to take things step by step and strive to leave the best possible impression on the Female Master. Only then could he secure a place in her heart.
Qin Mo felt that if his father had managed to become his mother’s most beloved beast husband, then he must have had some experience to draw on.
Keeping his father’s words in mind, he did not follow Yun Yang into her room. Instead, he settled into the room next to hers.
Once the door closed, the soundproofing system activated automatically. Every sound from outside seemed to have been frozen by a pause button, leaving the entire room so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Qin Mo looked around, then, as if casually, reached out and touched the switch for the soundproofing system.
The sound of running water came from the room separated from his by a single wall. It was faint and muffled, but there was no way it could escape the ears of an S-rank male.
Qin Mo rubbed his heated ears and turned to enter the bathroom as well.
His little scheme could not escape the notice of the villa’s owner. On Yun Yang’s smart terminal, she could clearly see the status of every room in the villa.
When she noticed that Qin Mo had turned off the soundproofing system, a smile appeared in Yun Yang’s eyes. With a mischievous glint, she turned off the soundproofing system in her own room as well.
The sound of running water beside his ear suddenly became louder, and Qin Mo’s eyes flew open.
He didn’t know whether Yun Yang had done it intentionally or not, but it was certainly no bad thing for him, so Qin Mo did not remind her.
Cold water splashed over him, pattering softly, yet it could not drown out the sounds coming from next door.
“Whoosh…”
At the sound of a certain signal, the tips of Qin Mo’s ears grew hotter and hotter.
The Female Master had finished showering. Didn’t that mean she was now…
Inside the enclosed bathroom, the male’s breathing suddenly grew heavier, showing faint signs of losing control.
The desire he had suppressed not long ago came surging back, and the smart terminal on his wrist began vibrating frantically.
The contamination level that Yun Yang had lowered to 48 points through purification began climbing rapidly, and it was about to break through the critical threshold of 80.
His body had already begun showing signs of beast transformation. Qin Mo glanced at the number on his smart terminal and frowned.
The Female Master had only just purified him, and he hadn’t used his abilities since then. There was no reason for his contamination level to suddenly spiral out of control.
Could it be…
Had his rut come early?
Realizing this possibility, Qin Mo opened his spatial button and took out a transparent syringe, plunging it into his neck without hesitation.
The icy liquid entered his bloodstream, accompanied by intense pain that made the veins in Qin Mo’s neck stand out slightly.
He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Under the influence of the contamination level, his agitated emotions gradually settled, and Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
But immediately afterward, sounds from the room next door reached his ears again.
Rustling sounds. His Female Master was probably getting dressed.
Qin Mo couldn’t stop himself from imagining the scene.
His Female Master was very, very fair, the edges of her skin almost translucent beneath the light. Against skin like that, clothes of any color would create a striking contrast.
That scene would surely be the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.
“Beep, beep…”
The smart terminal sounded an alarm, indicating that his contamination level had reached the critical point for the second time.
Qin Mo skillfully took out another suppressant, a helpless look appearing in his amber eyes.
He had truly brought this upon himself.
The alarm from the smart terminal wasn’t particularly loud, but it carried exceptionally well. Combined with the fact that the soundproofing system was turned off, Yun Yang could easily hear it.
Under what circumstances would a male’s smart terminal sound an alarm?
