Chapter 64: Chapter 52: This Guy Seems So Cold and Abstinent, But He’s Surprisingly Skilled

"Wait!"

Jun Yao had barely moved when Jiang Yunnuan’s urgent voice stopped him. He frowned, his light golden eyes fixed on her in confusion.

"Hm? What is it?"

"Don’t move yet!"

Her tone was fierce. ’I have to check his affinity first. If it’s still that low, then what the hell is there to enjoy? I’ll tell this guy to get as far away from me as possible!’

Her consciousness entered the system, pulling up his information.

Jun Yao: Tiger Beastman

Age: 20

Height: 190cm

Weight: 82kg

Birthday: September 7th

Talent Skill: Beast King’s Order [Evolution]

Current Cultivation Level: Deformation Stage, First Rank

Current Affinity: 80

Current Blackening Value: 10

Huh???

’His affinity skyrocketed from -3000 straight to 80? I... I must be seeing things!!!’

After a quick scan of all the information, Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes locked onto the affinity score. She couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw the current value.

She checked it again and again before finally confirming she hadn’t made a mistake. His affinity really had skyrocketed. A wave of joy she couldn’t suppress washed over her.

’I can’t believe it. His affinity shot up so fast! I thought with it being so deep in the negative, it would take ages to even get back to zero. I never imagined it would be this quick.’

"Ngh..."

Suddenly, her body was forcefully slammed into, and her consciousness was jolted out of the system. A sound escaped her throat before she could stop it.

The world spun around her as the man pressed her down beneath him.

Her lips were captured. His kiss was fierce and rough, bringing a tingling, stinging pain. The overwhelming sensation flooded her brain, scattering Jiang Yunnuan’s thoughts into a daze as a few hazy notions surfaced...

The entire room was sealed by a powerful force. No sound could escape, and likewise, no sound could get in.

Because of this, if not for that protective power, Si Xie would have kicked the door to splinters. As it was, neither side could hear the commotion the other was making.

"Weren’t we supposed to go on a mission today? It’s already the afternoon. Did Jun Yao and Jiang Yunnuan completely forget?"

Having completed his advancement, Fu Yuan leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, coldly watching Si Xie kick the door. He then turned to look at Ming Ye, who stood beside him.

After waking up and seeing Si Xie’s frenzied state, he had already learned the full story from Ming Ye and had a rough idea of what had happened during the night.

A Beastman going berserk wasn’t a particularly rare event, so he wasn’t too surprised by that.

What did surprise him was Si Xie’s reaction.

’Before, this was the guy who loathed and detested that woman the most, constantly looking like he wanted to take her down with him. How much time has passed? And how did he become the one most concerned about her?’

’This change in attitude is way too fast!’

Ming Ye spoke indifferently, "I’m afraid we won’t be able to do the mission today."

Fu Yuan: "..."

He had originally planned to advance before the mission so he could contribute more. He had succeeded in his advancement as he wished, but now the mission had hit a snag.

’Damn you, Jun Yao!!!’

A sudden idea flashed through his mind. He looked at Ming Ye and continued, "Since we’ve already accepted the mission, why don’t the two of us go? We can recruit a few outsiders."

"What’s the rush? The worst that can happen is we go tomorrow."

Ming Ye rejected the proposal without hesitation. Outsiders they recruited wouldn’t be as strong as Jun Yao. Besides, Jiang Yunnuan’s Healing and Purification abilities weren’t something an ordinary person could match.

’Why bother getting mixed up with outsiders?’

Fu Yuan: "..."

Having been rejected, he had no choice but to drop the idea.

Just then, the tightly shut door was suddenly pulled open. Fu Yuan and Ming Ye were slightly taken aback. Even Si Xie, who had been pounding on the door, froze with his hand in midair, as if he’d been hit by a paralyzing spell.

The three of them saw a noble, handsome man standing silhouetted against the light in the open doorway, a single bath towel wrapped around his waist.

He must have just showered. His short golden hair was still wet, and his bare torso was covered in countless scratches. The sight was both erotic and suggestive, leaving much to the imagination.

"Bastard!"

Si Xie’s pupils seemed to shatter in an instant. A crimson light flared in his eyes as he clenched his fist, his face contorted in fury, and swung at the man’s face.

Seeing this, the man’s gaze shifted. He shot out a hand and caught the incoming fist in his palm. Then, with a powerful flick, an immense force sent Si Xie stumbling back several steps. His back slammed hard against the wall, and the metallic taste of blood instantly filled his throat.

His injuries from the repeated impacts last night hadn’t healed. On top of that, his nerves had been stretched taut all night, and he hadn’t slept a wink due to his volatile emotions. Just lasting until the door opened had been an act of sheer, teeth-gritting endurance.

After this exchange, he could no longer hold on. Dizziness washed over him, his aura weakened, and he completely lost the ability to fight back.

"You don’t know your own limits."

Jun Yao narrowed his eyes, the corners of his lips curling into a disdainful arc. He looked mockingly at the utterly weakened man before him, casually shut the door, and resealed it with his Energy. Then, he turned and walked toward Jiang Yunnuan’s room.
