While still clinging to Si Bai’s leg, it slid down like it was riding a playground slide.
The moment it landed on the ground, it transformed into an adorable little boy with golden hair and golden eyes.
The little boy was extraordinarily beautiful and lovable.
His delicate face was fair and flawless, with red lips and white teeth that made him exceptionally pleasing to look at.
His eyes shifted slightly as he raised his face with an innocent expression.
As he pumping his short little legs as fast as he could, he dashed forward and threw himself in front of Si Bai.
[ Master, waaah~ ]
As expected, the noisy act of pretending to be pitiful had returned.
Si Bai had known all along that this troublesome system would resort to such a low tactic.
It could not do much of anything else well, but when it came to acting pitiful, it was unquestionably number one.
Yet despite himself, he could only lower his head helplessly and meet the little boy’s gaze.
The little boy wiped away tears that did not actually exist.
After finishing the performance, he tilted his small face upward and stared at Si Bai.
He simply stared.
Without blinking even once.
His cheeks puffed out slightly and the corners of his eyes instantly reddened.
A misty layer of moisture gradually gathered within them, creating a pitiful and lovable appearance that would tug at anyone’s heart.
[ Master, please help me, okay~ ]
A single tear fell unwillingly from the little boy’s eye.
“…”
[ If you don’t help me, I, I will… sob… ]
A second tear dropped.
“…”
The little boy forced himself to stay strong, barely holding back the third tear.
He sniffed softly.
His large and clear golden eyes were brimming with tears, shimmering like they were filled with starlight.
Moisture gathered within them, even his fluttering lashes were stained with a faint glimmer of tears.
[ Master, I swear, just this once!
This is the last time!
Please help me, okay?
We’ll split the reward 30-70, I get seven, you… no, I mean you get seven and I get three!
]
“…How do I terminated the system contract?”
[ You want to abandon me!!
]
The conversation finally collapsed under the exchange of verbal blows.
Seeing that soft tactics were useless, it seemed only forceful methods remained.
The little boy finally dropped his pitiful act and revealed his original annoying true face.
[ You silly Master, I’ve already accepted the mission.
Whether you agree or not doesn’t matter, the transmission is about to begin~ ]
His golden eyes curved like crescent moons as he smiled sweetly, in a way that was extremely irritating.
He then somehow pulled out a lollipop shaped like a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.
The “cigarette” bobbed up and down as he bit it, looking extremely smug.
[ Dimension Travel: The World of Caladris ]
[ Mission Description: Disaster-level mutated beasts have appeared in the World of Caladris.
Their energy levels are in violent upheaval.
The future world is on the verge of collapse.
The host is requested to eliminate the mutated beasts and protect world peace!
]
[ Beast Taming System, at your service]
Si Bai felt so angry that his head was practically vibrating.
He raised his fist, fully intending to have a proper fight with this cheating system, but overlapping mission windows blocked his path.
[ Does the host want to begin the transmission now?
]
[ A: Confirm ]
[ B: Very confirm ]
[ C: Extremely confirm ]
The back of Si Bai’s head throbbed violently.
Before his hand could even move, the system had already automatically selected option C.
A system notification rang out with a ding, sounding almost like a demon’s roar.
[ The World of Caladris, transmission starting!
]
…
He woke up??
Tiye’s breathing hitched, followed by a surge of overwhelming joy in his heart.
He instinctively stopped so abruptly that, due to inertia, he nearly threw Si Bai who was still in a dazed state off his back.
At the very moment he was about to fall, Tiye’s amber colored pupils contracted sharply into needle-like points as he snapped back to his senses.
Oh no it’s bad!
In his moment of excitement and carelessness, he had forgotten that the beautiful sub-beastman was still on his back!
Fortunately, the beastman’s powerful instincts and terrifying speed were not only for show.
After all, he was a Totem Warrior who had survived nearly twenty years of life and death struggles in this world.
“Watch out—hey, I’ve got you…”
“Bang—”
Si Bai did not even have time to make a sound before he crashed into a hard chest the next second.
Before he could even register the faint sense of impact from a beastman’s chest, another loud boom followed.
It seemed that the two of them had collided with a steep rocky slope again.
Their bodies rolled out of control several times, tumbling over and over, until they finally hit an ancient locust tree and came to a stop.
Si Bai did not dare to open his eyes, but a pair of strong arms never let go of his waist, giving him a strong sense of safety.
The person behind him had effectively acted as a buffer board, reducing his injuries to the minimum.
The hands firmly holding his waist still did not loosen.
Si Bai’s breathing gradually steadied.
Only then did he finally dare to open his eyes again.
Unexpectedly, the moment he opened them, a face filled with joy and apology leaned in very naturally, instantly occupying his entire field of vision.
He was shocked to find an unfamiliar man kneeling beside him.
Moreover, the man’s strong right hand was still holding onto his waist in the exact same position as before, clearly the one who had just saved him.
The stranger’s upper body was completely bare, only wearing a beast hide skirt that barely covered his lower half.
He looked extremely improper.
He leaned down close to Si Bai, urgently sniffing and examining him again and again.
Apart from worry and anxiety, he even occasionally revealed an intoxicated and affectionate expression.
