Chapter 75: Chapter 75: No Thought of Resisting Yu An

"What do you mean?"

Lan Ying asked warily, "What are you trying to do?"

"Nothing," Feng Xuan said, speaking to him but keeping his eyes fixed on Yu An. "I just wanted to mention the principle of first come, first served."

Yu An was a little stunned. "Feng Xuan, do you have any idea what you’re saying?"

Feng Xuan lowered his gaze. He didn’t know what he was saying or doing either; he just felt a sense of unease.

’I’m still standing right here. How dare they ignore me?’

"You mentioned first come, first served," Feng Xuan said in a low voice. "Well, I was here before Lan Ying."

Regardless of what anyone else thought, Da Hu and Xiao Hu were pleasantly surprised.

’Their Beast Father has grown up! He finally knows how to fight for affection! We don’t have to worry about our Female Mother and Beast Father splitting up someday!’

Xiao Yu didn’t mind either way. After all, the other two were with their biological Beast Father. It didn’t matter who won their Female Mother’s favor.

Mo Yan decided it was a case of "out of sight, out of mind" and called Ao Wu over to take the three Zaizai inside.

Seeing Yu An’s hesitation, Lan Ying tugged pitifully at her sleeve. "You promised it would be me! You can’t go back on your word! Besides, Lan Yin and I are two different people. He’s already mated with you, but I haven’t."

He had to solidify his status quickly to prevent any unexpected changes. Delays could breed trouble.

Yu An hesitated slightly. Among the five of them, Feng Xuan was the only one she couldn’t figure out. He was usually like a ghost, with almost no presence, as if he might leave at any moment.

’It’s rare for him to be so proactive. I might as well take this chance to get the fragment from his body. It’s just a matter of sleeping with him once.’

At this thought, Yu An pulled Lan Ying aside and whispered a few words to him. Lan Ying’s expression quickly turned hesitant.

After a brief internal struggle, he begged for a kiss and then obediently returned to his room.

"Let’s go," Yu An said, naturally taking Feng Xuan’s hand. "To my room."

Feng Xuan followed her in a daze, only snapping back to reality after they were inside the room.

"You... you really chose me?"

"Who else?" Yu An retorted. "Weren’t you the one who asked?"

Feng Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say he hadn’t asked for this, but thinking back on his behavior just now... wasn’t it basically a direct proposition?

A lone male and a lone female together in one room... He felt a little flustered, his heart pounding unusually fast.

’No, this isn’t right. I have to return to my family sooner or later. That time in the Imperial City could be blamed on the aphrodisiac, but this time... I’m completely sober.’

"How about... how about you go find Lan Ying?"

Feng Xuan tried to bargain. "You know I don’t want to be your Beast Husband. I... I’ve already decided to return to my family in a few days. Can’t you just pretend I was out of my mind tonight and misspoke?"

Yu An’s expression turned cold in an instant.

’See? My guess from earlier was right. If it weren’t for Da Hu and Xiao Hu, he would have left long ago.’

Of course, Feng Xuan wanting to leave was understandable. As long as he didn’t take the Zaizai and left the fragment behind, it was fine. She wasn’t short on Beast Husbands; she wouldn’t force someone to stay.

Vines shot out from her hands, wrapped around Feng Xuan’s waist, and violently yanked him onto the bed. Before Feng Xuan could even struggle, Yu An grabbed him by the collar.

The next second, they had swapped positions, with Yu An on top.

"Do you think this is an inn you can come and go from as you please?"

"I... I didn’t mean it like that..."

Yu An had no patience for his nonsense and sealed his lips with a direct kiss.

As her soft lips met his, Feng Xuan froze for a moment, letting her kiss him.

The temperature in the room continued to rise. For some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to resist. With his strength, he could have easily pinned Yu An down.

’She has a Wood Element Ability. She must have... she must have drugged me, just like that other night.’

Feng Xuan couldn’t control himself, and he desperately attributed his lack of resistance to being "drugged."

’Yes, that’s it.’

Lost in his wild thoughts, he didn’t even notice the fluffy tiger ears that had popped out on top of his head until Yu An’s hand got itchy and reached out to touch them—

"Don’t... You’re not allowed to touch them..."

Feng Xuan let out a muffled groan. The corners of his eyes quickly turned red, glistening with a hint of moisture.

"I won’t just touch them. I’ll pinch them, too."

Yu An was having the time of her life. Feng Xuan endured it as long as he could, but he finally reached his limit.

He reached out, cupped the back of Yu An’s head, and turned the tables, kissing her deeply as he switched their positions again.

The night was long. He didn’t want to think about anything else. He just wanted to lose himself with her...

He really was a fierce beast—truly fierce. Yu An felt just a tiny bit tired, so tired she didn’t want to move a muscle.

A warm superpower flowed through her limbs, gradually dispelling the fatigue.

Just as Yu An was about to get up, the hand around her waist suddenly tightened. Feng Xuan’s slightly hoarse voice sounded out, "You’re awake?"

He wanted to talk to Yu An, to make it clear that even though they had done the most intimate things last night, he still wouldn’t be staying...

"Mhm," Yu An said languidly. "You said you wanted to go back to your family last night, right? You can go anytime. Just don’t take Da Hu and Xiao Hu with you. The Zaizai are mine. Let’s get that straight beforehand."

Feng Xuan was taken aback. "You... you’re kicking me out?"

"Kicking you out?" Yu An glanced at him. "Aren’t you the one who wants to leave?"

"You’re not even going to ask me to stay? I’m the Zaizai’s Beast Father, at least."

She had been so passionate and proactive last night, but this morning she was cold and distant. Feng Xuan found it a little hard to accept.

’She wants to get rid of me after sleeping with me?’

’On what grounds!’ 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Yu An was puzzled. "Why should I ask you to stay? I’m not short on Beast Husbands, and I won’t force someone who doesn’t want to be here."

Feng Xuan’s face flushed red. He wanted to say something, but Yu An had no interest in hearing it.

’Fragment obtained. Time to bounce!’

Mo Yan and the other two were already preparing ingredients for barbecue. Their stall wouldn’t open until the afternoon.

Seeing Yu An come out, Mo Yan pointed toward the kitchen. "An’an, breakfast is being kept warm in the kitchen."

Yu An nodded, brought her breakfast out, and ate at the table next to them.

Whenever Yu An was around, the Zaizai didn’t bother with anyone else. They would just gather around her, chattering away.

Xiao Hu, being the youngest, turned into his beast form and curled up in Yu An’s arms, sleeping comfortably.

Yu An was both exasperated and amused. "Still sleeping? Are you really that tired?"

"Tired. Xiao Hu is very tired."

Xiao Hu mumbled drowsily, "Female Mother, Xiao Hu wants to sleep more."

Yu An rubbed his little head. "Then go ahead and sleep. Female Mother is about to make some fragrant, sweet milk tea. I guess I won’t save any for you."

The little guy was wide awake in a second. "Female Mother, Xiao Hu is suddenly not tired anymore!"

The corner of Yu An’s mouth twitched. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Da Hu and Xiao Yu lay on her lap, one on each side, and asked curiously, "Female Mother, what’s milk tea?"

"Milk tea is a sweet drink made with cow’s milk or goat’s milk and tea leaves. Female Mother will make some for you to try."

Coincidentally, they had a female goat that Hu Hui Lan had given them, so Yu An took the three little ones over to milk it.

A short while later, Feng Xuan came out of the room. He silently sat down next to Mo Yan and the others, burying his head in his work.

He didn’t say a word and looked utterly dejected. Several times, he couldn’t control his strength and crushed the potato slices into mush.

"Go help An’an make the milk tea," Mo Yan said, unable to watch any longer. "She might need a hand."

Feng Xuan nodded and got up to leave.

Lan Ying was not happy. "Why should he get to go?"

"Can’t you see he’s completely distracted? He looks like he’s about to be dumped."

Mo Yan said nonchalantly, "An’an clearly doesn’t favor him right now. What are you competing with him for?"

Lan Ying remembered how Mo Yan had gone to wake Yu An and the other one up for a meal but had come back alone. He must have heard something. Thinking of this, Lan Ying suddenly felt much better.

’Whatever. I’m the bigger person. I won’t bicker with a male who’s fallen out of favor.’
