Chapter 54: Chapter 48: The Decisive Battle of Love, I Lost to You

The sharp tip of a knife hovered over the back of a soft, smooth hand.

A cold glint flashed from its tip.

It wasn’t hard to imagine what a terrifying wound the sharp blade could leave on the soft, fair back of that hand.

’The beautiful female would cry, wouldn’t she?’

Tears would fall one after another, rolling down her beautiful, fair face like little pearls.

For some reason, the mysterious Black Panther in the iron cage felt a shiver run through it.

It padded elegantly to the edge of the cage, staring intently at the scene with a pair of merciless, deep-blue beast eyes.

’So fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant...’

The rich fragrance of the beautiful female permeated the air.

The Black Panther couldn’t resist taking two sharp, deep breaths.

A strange glint flashed in its beastly eyes.

It looked at Yu Lan, who Li Yufei had thrown down near the iron cage. The beautiful female was now extremely close.

It could clearly see every expression on Yu Lan’s face.

It could lift a paw and touch her with ease.

Sure enough, the Black Panther couldn’t resist the temptation.

It lightly opened its mouth, extended its tongue, and gave Yu Lan’s face a quick lick.

’So fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant...’

Li Yufei misinterpreted this as a silent urging from Li Yucheng.

She hastily replied,

"Don’t worry, Brother."

"I’ll make this female pay for breaking your Human-shaped Recovery Potion right now."

With that, she violently raised her hand, took aim at Yu Lan’s arm, and was about to stab down forcefully.

At this critical moment, Yu Lan closed her eyes, prepared to face her fate.

’Since I’m the one who destroyed Li Yucheng’s only Human-shaped Recovery Potion, it’s only right that I suffer a little and let the victim vent his anger.’

Seeing this, the elegant and mysterious Black Panther felt a strange sense of panic.

Just as it bared its fangs, preparing to roar at Li Yufei and stop her, a furious lion’s roar suddenly erupted from outside.

Li Yufei’s hand, poised to strike, suddenly trembled.

The next moment, the reinforced steel door was violently smashed open from the outside.

The guards at the door were sent sprawling to the ground.

A majestic Golden Lion and an aloof, cold Silver Giant Wolf strode in together, bathed in light.

Kneeling on the floor, Yu Lan opened her eyes to the sight, and for some reason, her eyes grew moist.

A wave of inexplicable excitement surged through her.

Li Yufei gritted her teeth at the sight. She had only planned to drag Yu Lan before Li Yucheng to apologize and then let her go.

She never imagined someone would actually come to rescue her.

"No wonder you’re so defiant."

"You knew someone was coming to save you all along, didn’t you?"

Li Yufei’s shrill voice rang out as she gripped the dagger and thrust it down hard.

"Let me tell you, it’s too late."

"You must pay the price for your actions."

A split second before the dagger’s cold tip could touch the back of Yu Lan’s hand,

the Golden Lion erupted with immense power, its body seeming to burn with flames.

In an instant, it lunged and appeared right in front of Yu Lan.

Li Yufei, dagger in hand, was sent flying by a vicious whip of its tail.

The next moment, Huo Zhanting’s deep, magnetic, and soothing voice rang out.

"Lanlan, don’t be afraid. We’re here."

We’ve come to save you.

From the moment she was taken, Yu Lan had never thought someone would come to save her.

This was especially true after Li Yufei had lectured her on the Starship about the power and status of the Li Family.

She had long since accepted her fate of being abandoned.

Now, seeing Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye appear before her to rescue her, an indescribable emotion swelled in her chest.

"Thank you."

"Huo Zhanting, Su Xingye, thank you for coming to save me."

Yu Lan’s eyes reddened. She hadn’t cried when Li Yufei threw her to the floor, and she hadn’t cried when she was threatened. But now, seeing Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye, the tip of her nose grew red, and she suddenly wanted to cry.

It was like an injured child finally seeing her parents arrive to stand up for her.

The fortitude she had been forcing herself to show shattered in an instant.

Plump teardrops rolled one after another from her beautiful amber eyes, like glistening crystals.

The Golden Lion and the Silver Giant Wolf lovingly licked them away, one by one.

The beautiful female obediently tilted her head back, letting the two male beasts lick her face.

Inside the iron cage, the Black Panther remained perfectly still, silently watching the scene without making a sound.

A strange glint flashed in its deep-blue eyes.

’So... are these two the male beasts of this beautiful female before me?’

’Such an obedient and beautiful female... I kind of want her, too.’
