Chapter 66: Chapter 57: The Black Panther’s Frenzy (Part 2)

He could have carried her for a day and a night without feeling the least bit tired.

But for some reason, the Black Panther paused. He stopped and lay down, obediently allowing Yu Lan to slide off his back.

"Wow!"

"It’s so beautiful!"

The pretty female’s slender, long legs had just touched down on the grassy plains.

Gazing at the boundless expanse, with the warm sun bathing her, she let out a cry of delight.

She stretched out her arms, her beautiful eyes closing slightly as she felt the gentle breeze drift over her body.

The next second...

Yu Lan was instantly tackled by the Black Panther, who clearly had ulterior motives.

Her entire body sank into the Black Panther’s soft, warm belly.

His eager, furry head repeatedly nuzzled against Yu Lan’s face, planting kisses and licks.

’She smells so good, so good, so good.’

His tail wrapped tightly and possessively around Yu Lan’s slender waist.

In that one instant, the Black Panther held Yu Lan and rolled with her across the grass several times.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hey, that’s enough, that’s enough."

"Stop licking, stop licking me."

"You’re so mischievous!"

Yu Lan hadn’t expected the Black Panther to do this at all.

Curled up in his embrace, she looked utterly overwhelmed by his sweet, furry passion.

Her lovely, soft cheeks were flushed red.

Like the most delicate, plump pink peach on a branch in spring.

The kind that would burst with juice at the first bite.

Li Yucheng’s heart melted at the sight. His deep blue beast eyes stared blankly at Yu Lan, as if he were utterly mesmerized.

Yu Lan, who had been smiling faintly at the Black Panther, froze.

It was as if she had been scalded by the scorching emotion in the Black Panther’s eyes.

She shot up from the ground.

"Cough, cough cough cough."

Only then did it seem to dawn on Yu Lan that Li Yucheng was, after all, an adult male.

’Not just some cute, fluffy creature.’

A trace of vexation flickered across Yu Lan’s face. ’In this world, I always seem to forget that behind these fluffy exteriors are handsome adult Beastmen, one after another. And I end up doing things that cross the line between friends.’

The pretty female’s lovely brows furrowed slightly.

Turning to look at the tall, handsome Black Panther behind her, she bit her lip and spoke with uncertainty.

"Li Yucheng, we’re friends, right?"

’Of course we’re not.’

An impulse surged wildly within the Black Panther’s heart.

A frantic possessiveness tore at his heart; no male would ever want to be just friends with a female.

Males were faithful to one partner for life.

If a male actively sought out a female, it was because he was interested in her.

Having been so open with his feelings, Li Yucheng couldn’t understand why Yu Lan would say such a thing. ’Does she look down on me? Does she think I’m a useless male, stuck in my beast form forever?’

The beautiful, soft female was right before his eyes.

’Yet I can only ever be her friend.’

’And even this so-called "friend" status was probably something the Li Family forced on her.’

’I can only watch helplessly as Yu Lan gets close to other males.’

’No, I absolutely cannot accept that.’

An overwhelming urge for destruction welled up in his heart.

A violent, terrifying aura erupted from him, completely undisguised.

A hint of red crept into his deep blue beast eyes. They stared fixedly at Yu Lan as, in his mind, it felt like needles were viciously stabbing into his flesh, the sharp pain devouring the Black Panther’s sanity.

When Yu Lan, who had been admiring the distant scenery, turned back, she saw the Black Panther’s legs give way as he collapsed to his knees on the ground.

Trickles of fresh red blood slid from the corner of his mouth.

"Li Yucheng, what’s wrong?"

Yu Lan rushed to the Black Panther’s side.

Her pretty little face was filled with worry.

Even now, a sense of joy bloomed in Li Yucheng’s heart.

’She’s worried about me.’

’This feeling is all for me.’

’I’m the one who caused it.’

’What bliss!’

’This is enough.’

The Black Panther bit down hard on his lip, and more blood began to trickle out, dripping onto the ground.

Li Yucheng’s hoarse, urgent voice sounded.

"Lanlan, quick, press the button."

"I don’t want to hurt you."

Within his deep blue beast eyes was a clear, pure devotion.

As he suppressed the violent urge in his heart, the Black Panther’s whole body was tense. He gritted his teeth, muscles taut, as blood continued to slide from his lips.

Even the spiked collar on his neck, a symbol of restraint, was now fully embedded in his flesh.

The Black Panther’s black fur hid the traces of blood.

It was only when Yu Lan placed her hand on his neck and then lifted it that she realized her palm was covered in blood.

"No."

"No."

Yu Lan shook her head frantically.

’One hundred thousand volts of electricity... How could I possibly have the heart to press a button like that?’

’Li Yucheng would be driven mad by the torture in an instant.’

’He was fine just a moment ago when we came out.’

She had even seen the Black Panther’s recent physical exam data; there was nothing abnormal.

’Why is this happening?’

’How could this be happening?’

There was simply no explanation.

Yu Lan’s refusal to press the button made the Black Panther feel both blissful and tormented.

’It’s already come to this...’

’What more could I be dissatisfied with?’

’Yu Lan is heartbroken for me.’

’Just like she felt for that Golden Lion and the Silver Giant Wolf.’

’So she can feel heartbroken for me, too?’

Watching the teardrops fall from Yu Lan’s eyes, the Black Panther proudly lifted his head, filled with smug satisfaction.

Then he lowered his head slightly,

and repeatedly nuzzled Yu Lan with his furry head.

’Press it.’

’It’s okay.’

’I won’t blame you.’

’I’m just afraid I’ll go mad and hurt you.’

If that really happened, he would rather just die.

Yu Lan bit her lip tightly, a thousand thoughts flashing through her mind.

But pressing the button was absolutely not one of them.

It was the most direct solution, but for Li Yucheng, it was absolutely not the right one.

Because he was forcibly restraining himself, the Black Panther’s breathing was extremely heavy, and his harsh pants even carried a faint tremor.

In that instant,

something flashed through Yu Lan’s mind,

and she seized it.

Her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, a flash of shyness in her amber irises.

’Li Yucheng... he hasn’t gone mad.’

’It’s years of pent-up desire erupting in an instant.’

’He’s... in heat!’
