The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 497 Procrastination

Eight Fierce Beasts, ever since they arrived at Nian Shutong’s, had truly been eating well and sleeping well.

Being "tamed" wasn’t entirely without its benefits. They didn’t need to worry about anything and even had low-grade crystal stones provided for cultivation, which were better than none before.

Moreover, Nian Shutong didn’t restrict their movement. As long as they protected the designated area well, everything else was at their discretion.

The leader of the eight Fierce Beasts, Qicai, was the only one who had cultivated spiritual power to perfection. After being influenced by the Star Network, it flapped a small wing forward.

"Brothers! Beat them up!"

"Roar roar roar———"

"Howl howl howl————"

"Woo ga woo ga———"

The other seven Fierce Beasts charged towards the Nian Family members, determined to pound them to death for daring to disturb their hard-won blissful "retirement" life.

Do it!

Finish them off!

The addition of the seven Fierce Beasts brought some changes to the battle, but the overall situation had yet to shift.

The Nian Family’s butler had a glint of greed in his eyes as eight more Fierce Beasts joined the fray, making a total of ten with the previous two.

The butler was greedy because the Fierce Beasts seemed obedient, and if he could master this method, then... frёeωebɳovel.com

Just the thought set the butler’s heart ablaze.

Inside the protective cover, Jing Bai and Red Crown kept their eyes fixed on the fray, ready to intervene at any moment.

At that moment, the eight Fierce Beasts had severely beaten up all the Nian Family members, except for three S-class individuals, leaving them with broken arms and legs.

In the battleground, the roars of various Fierce Beasts mixed with the cries of the Nian Family members in a strange cacophony.

The three S-class members of the Nian Family just coldly watched their kinsmen get injured, showing no sense of familial support or care.

The development of a family could be discerned from such details.

"May I request the three of you to take action."

The butler clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and gave what seemed more like a pleading command than a direction.

After all, as a butler, he had no authority over S-class individuals.

"We got it, you can go down now."

One of the individuals responded to the butler and then spoke to the other two S-class fellows.

"The two of you, let’s work together."

"That sounds good, we can go have a bite at the Chi Family’s small restaurant afterward."

"Of course."

The three individuals were not blindly arrogant; the levels of those they faced were transparent to them, with nothing concealed.

The fiercest among them were a woman wielding a Heavy Sword and a white wolf.

But even if they were formidable, they were only infinitely close to the S-class, which was like a chasm until you crossed that one step.

The three individuals each took a step forward—one of them with spiritual power and the other two relying on Physical Ability.

The two S-class individuals with Physical Ability knocked down the battling Fierce Beasts with one punch each, but thanks to the beasts’ tough skin and natural advantages, they quickly got back up to continue the fight.

Qicai, utilizing its small body, launched an attack on the S-class Nian Family member with spiritual power.

Spiritual Power Hidden Arrow, Spiritual Confusion, it used all available tactics.

"Hmm? You’re a Fierce Beast that has cultivated spiritual power!"

The attacked S-class member merely put up a casual defense, blocking Qicai’s Spiritual Power Hidden Arrow and rebounding it.

"This is indeed an interesting planet."

This S-class individual from the Nian Family, whether regarding Qicai or the planet itself, had developed a keen interest.

Not only the butler had noticed the anomalies; they had too.

However, they knew one thing—if they emerged victorious, the Nian Family would surely reward them.

The entry of the three S-class individuals had the eight Fierce Beasts suffering frequent injuries, although they continued fighting, their wounds multiplying.

Jing Bai was already preparing to make a move.

Just as Jing Bai was preparing to transform, Lin Mu stepped forward and stopped her.

"The Eldest is coming back, we can hold on."

Lin Mu didn’t want Jing Bai to transform now—the Rubble’s defense ball had protected the residents, safeguarded everything in the small wooden house, so she didn’t need to worry.

As for the people on the other side, they didn’t need to win, only to delay until Nian Shutong returned.

Before leaving, Nian Shutong had secretly revealed to Lin Mu that Jing Bai was their ace in the hole.

But Lin Mu felt that since Jing Bai was their ace, they shouldn’t play that card unless they were in a life or death situation.

"You wait, I’m going!"

Lin Mu pushed down Jing Bai. Her wounds had been healed by Yangyang and were no longer serious.

Lin Mu, once again carrying the Heavy Sword, joined the fray.

"Bring it on! A bunch of bugs who only dare to come when our Eldest is not home, you spineless cowards!"

Lin Mu’s re-entry, accompanied by her taunting words, caused one S-ranked human on the other side to divert some effort to deal with her.

Three S-ranked humans, two with Physical Ability, were each fighting one of the seven ferocious beasts, while one with spiritual power took on Qicai and Fire Fox who worked together in coordination.

One bird launching long-range attacks, one fox moving agilely, distracting the S-ranked expert with spiritual power.

Lin Mu directly joined one side—a Physical Ability S-rank turned into a battle with four people. They wouldn’t lose, but they couldn’t immediately win, either.

"Awooo———"

"Chirp chirp———"

The White Wolf and Big Bird each joined one side of the battle.

All three battles had turned into a fight where one side fought recklessly, while the other side just aimed to win.

On the sidelines, Jing Bai and Red Crown were ready to burst into action, prepared to provide support at any moment.

These two could wait, but they knew one thing—that the people here could get injured, but absolutely nothing serious could happen.

Nian Shutong would never agree to that.

At this moment, Rubble was also controlling the protective cover, while Ji Sisi drove a Mecha, continuously launching sneak attacks or randomly joining the fray from the outer ring.

The small wooden house had nearly all hands on deck, not using Jing Bai and the others, yet achieving a delicate balance.

We might not win, but we will definitely not lose.

They had ultimately fulfilled Nian Shutong’s objective in defending the Blue Star.

At the same time, Nian Shutong’s Starship had arrived early, since there was a Transfer Station on the route undergoing adjustments—they didn’t stop, passing directly by.

On the Starship, Nian Shutong could no longer sit still.

Because she had already found out about the situation on Blue Star.

As she felt unsettled aboard the Starship and was just getting up, two voices rang out beside her.

"Auntie! Dou Dou has a bad feeling! Our home."

"Nian Shutong! There’s been an attack."

Two sentences instantly transformed Nian Shutong’s uncertain panic into cool rage.

All she said was one word: "Who?"

"Nian Family."

"Good, very good indeed."

One sentence, no fluctuations, but a raw scent of bloodshed utterly unmasked.

"Do I have surveillance? Do you want to see it?"

Fu Yunhe and Rubble, when it came to Blue Star’s surveillance and defense systems, had the same level of administrative access, so he was the first to know about this.

"Is anyone injured?"

"Yes."

"Has anyone died?"

"No."

"Then there’s no need to look."
