Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 25 - 15: Hold Me Tight, I’ll Take You Away (2)

"He’s actually quite thoughtful."

After saying this, Anu buried his head in his food and said no more.

Night fell, and the Beastmen stopped traveling, looking for nearby places to rest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Anu found an abandoned cave. It wasn’t very large, but there was more than enough room for two people.

He went outside and pulled up some green vines, tying them together to make a broom. After sweeping the cave inside and out, he started a bonfire and laid down a few thick animal hides.

He sat cross-legged on the hides and patted the empty space beside him. His smiling, narrowed eyes held a unique charm. "It’s cold. Want to sleep leaning against me?"

Sang Luo shook her head, refusing.

"I have a mate."

"So you mean I should go sleep outside?" He was speechless. "You sure know how to make yourself at home in someone else’s nest."

’Maybe I should go sleep with Li Man and the others,’ Sang Luo thought. But they were all females resting in caves with their mates... ’Li Man definitely wouldn’t refuse, but it would be a bit inconvenient for me, an outsider, to go over there.’

Seeing that she was actually about to leave, Anu quickly got up and pulled her back, pushing her down onto the hides. "If you’re not comfortable with it, then forget it. I cleaned this cave for you to rest in anyway. You get some sleep. I’ll go next door and find Ror and the others."

Before he left, he added a few more pieces of firewood to the bonfire, enough to burn until dawn, and then departed from the cave.

Warmed by the dancing flames of the bonfire, the tension and exhaustion from the day melted away, and Sang Luo soon drifted into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, the RUSTLE of footsteps approached from a distance, and a gaze full of predatory amusement swept over her body.

Her body’s instincts blared a warning, and Sang Luo snapped awake.

Tu Zhu had somehow snuck into the cave and was now staring at her with a burning gaze.

Sang Luo’s face went deathly pale, and she almost let out a terrified scream.

Seeing she showed no signs of being in heat, Tu Zhu was a little surprised. "You didn’t eat the grilled fish?"

Sang Luo continued to glare at him, picked up a rock from the ground, and threw it at him.

Tu Zhu flicked his hand in annoyance. An invisible force blocked the attack, swatting all the rocks to the ground.

’So she really didn’t eat the Aphrodisiac Fruit. This little female is pretty smart and cautious.’

But it didn’t matter. To Tu Zhu, it was all the same whether she had eaten it or not. A female’s strength was no match for a male’s. Whatever he wanted to do, she couldn’t refuse.

"Mate with me, and you won’t have to suffer for the rest of this journey."

Tu Zhu stared at her delicate, beautiful, and fair little face. His gaze slowly drifted downward, growing hotter.

"A single female like you is a tempting piece of meat that everyone covets. Even if it’s not me, some other Male Beast will make a move. You might as well accept me now. It’s better than being defiled by those other wastes of space."

Tu Zhu reached out to pull her into his arms, but Sang Luo bit down hard on his firm, muscular arm.

"UGH!" The Beastman’s muscles were as hard as rock; Sang Luo nearly broke her teeth. Wincing in pain, Tu Zhu shoved her away. Her shoulder and shoulder blades slammed violently against the stone wall, and the pain made her break out in a cold sweat and curl up into a ball.

The last shred of Tu Zhu’s compassion vanished. He lunged forward, pinning her to the ground and roughly tearing at her clothes.

As grief and rage filled Sang Luo’s heart, a powerful will to resist surged within her. A golden glint flashed in her dark pupils.

A bolt of lightning struck down directly!

Tu Zhu staggered back several steps, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

"You have a Talent Power?"

’No, this isn’t my Talent Power. It’s Lan Cang’s Talent Power.’

’The last time he came back... he left this power for me!’

Sang Luo’s own power was of the Healing System type—soft and lacking any real Attack Power. This sliver of the Power of thunder and lightning, however, was different. Although she had only inherited ten percent of Lan Cang’s Talent Power—and with her body’s limitations, could probably only wield 1% of his original strength—judging by the heated yet wary look in Tu Zhu’s eyes, this force’s Attack Power was definitely not weak!

’Then it’s time to show him what I’m made of!’

Sang Luo shook off her despondency and started blasting Tu Zhu with lightning as if it were free. She grew more and more proficient, even forming Lightning Balls in her hands and relentlessly hurling them at him.

Tu Zhu raised a hand and formed an Earth Shield, blocking most of the lightning attacks. But some always slipped through the cracks. Soon, he was bleeding, and his clothes were blasted to tatters, leaving him in a rather sorry state.

"I didn’t want to get rough with a female, but since you’re so disobedient, don’t blame me for getting serious."

Dozens of Earth Vines erupted from the ground, winding around her like a cage and trapping her.

"Using your Talent Power on a female... that’s a bit dishonorable, Tu Zhu."
