"Ruan Li! Don't drag us down if you want to die!" The refined young man scolded angrily at this moment, though his upbringing stopped him from cursing outright.
Ruan Li opened her eyes to see the hideous face of a monster just 0.01 centimeters away from her, its bloody mouth wide open as if ready to tear her apart.
Splash—
Blood sprayed onto her face, the strong smell and the terrifying scene overwhelmed her already fragile nerves.
She hadn't been conscious for even a minute before she fainted again.
She must have gone to hell after death!
Definitely!
Ruan Li recalled the browser history and chat logs with girlfriends she hadn't had time to delete before the car accident, feeling immensely sorrowful.
Bai He noticed the woman in his arms had pretended to faint again. His brows furrowed further, and his tone became more impatient: "Stop pretending! The Fierce Beast is dead, get up quickly, don't weigh on me!"
However, the woman in his arms showed no reaction.
A drop of blood slid from her closed eye to her crimson lips, adding a touch of delicate beauty to her pale cheeks.
However, Bai He thought of the woman's heinous acts, and no matter how beautiful she was, she was still a femme fatale, "Stop pretending! If you don't get up, I'll throw you on the ground!"
Seeing the woman still without response after his words, Bai He sneered, thinking her acting had become increasingly proficient.
He immediately let go, whether she was truly unconscious or pretending, if it's real, even better! Falling from the top floor would either kill or disable her.
The soft sensation in his arms disappeared, Bai He noticed she still showed no signs of response, even falling at such speed shouldn't be so calm, right?
Bai He's heart tightened.
A snow-white crane suddenly appeared in the air and let out a low cry, diving down.
Only when he safely placed the woman on the ground did Bai He return to human form, his eyes slightly complex as he looked at the unconscious Ruan Li.
He didn't expect she truly fainted, but if he left her here...
"What's wrong with her?" A tall, blond, blue-eyed young man walked over, showing deep disdain in his eyes.
"...Fainted from fright." Bai He replied.
Shi Jue gave a thumbs up: "What did you do to her to scare her into fainting?"
Bai He's gaze on Ruan Li's unconscious face grew more complex: "Seems like she was frightened by the Fierce Beast."
Shi Jue showed a bit of surprise: "Frightened by the Fierce Beast? Isn't eating Fierce Beasts her favorite?"
Bai He shook his head: "Unclear, let's take her back first. If she really dies here, we'll lose our lives too."
Shi Jue stepped back a bit: "You're the one who made her faint, you drag her back."
After saying that, he transformed into a golden mutant lion, sprinting away and kicking up a layer of dust covering Bai He's face.
Bai He helplessly wiped his face, then stared at the woman fainted on the ground, her face smudged with the dust Shi Jue kicked up, her snow-white face covered in gray, she looked so repulsive, why does she now seem somewhat foolish?
Bai He was disgusted by his own thoughts just now, he deliberately hoisted her onto his shoulder and gave her a shake.
Ruan Li dreamed of herself in a small boat on turbulent seas, the boat rocked violently from the waves, she stubbornly held onto the planks for fear of being flung away.
Bai He really doubted if Ruan Li was deliberately retaliating against him, otherwise how could she manage to grip the flesh on his waist so tightly even while dangling upside down.
Bai He, who always considered himself considerate, was now genuinely annoyed.
Once home, he threw her onto the sofa.
Ruan Li was dreaming she'd been mercilessly hit by a giant wave into the sea, and she woke up in shock.
She met Bai He's eyes full of anger and mockery, but was subconsciously amazed by his pale pupils.
How could anyone have such light and translucent eyes, like winter frost flowers, exquisite and ethereal, cold and pristine?
Bai He saw her dazed appearance at this moment, his maliciousness grew stronger, yet instead of the imagined disdainful curses, she muttered praise: "Such beautiful eyes..."
A trace of astonishment flashed in Bai He's eyes, he pursed his lips, coldly watching Ruan Li gaze at him as if enthralled.
Should he say her acting is truly good?
"What do you want to do this time?"
Bai He looked at her with full vigilance, as if she truly was an unforgivable villain.
Ruan Li subconsciously touched her face, could it be after the car accident, her stunningly beautiful little face got disfigured?
Thinking of this possibility, she immediately ran to the bathroom.
"It's fine, it's fine..." She patted her chest, taking a long breath.
The face was still the same face, beautiful enough to rival modelling.
Bai He followed her unhurriedly, curious about what mischief this woman was up to.
However, he only saw her admiring herself in the mirror with no other strange actions, and while puzzled, he dared not let down his guard.
After Ruan Li cared for her beloved little face, her eyes finally noticed the handsome, icy man beside her, though at this moment his brow was furrowed as if it could crush a fly.
"Hey handsome, who are you?"
Ruan Li asked in a soft and weak voice.
Bai He crossed his arms, frightened by her affected tone, "What do you want me to do? Kill Fierce Beasts, or abduct Beastmen? Speak."
"Talk normal please."
He frowned, not hiding his disdain at all.
Ruan Li gave an awkward smile, unsure how she had offended him, "May I ask boldly, do we know each other? You seem to dislike me a lot."
Bai He's expression froze for a moment, he glanced up and down at Ruan Li, seeing her expression didn't seem fake, especially those bright, clear eyes, innocence enough to make one feel guilty.
"You... lost your memory?"
Bai He's cold voice slowly spoke.
Ruan Li nodded slightly, although she hadn't figured out the situation yet, and given she just pinched herself and felt pain, she could determine she's alive now, but this world is completely unfamiliar to her. Thus, it might as well pretend she lost her memory.
Bai He never expected her to actually have amnesia.
Yet recalling her peculiar actions just now, and her harmless, pure eyes, he inexplicably gained a bit of trust.
From Bai He's explanation, Ruan Li learned this is an era with advanced technology, however, due to cosmic radiation, men have gone extinct. Male animals have partly become human-like, evolving the superpowers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth elements. Women survived, though their reproductive capabilities similarly affected, leading to a sharp decline in female numbers, causing a severe gender imbalance on the Planet. To address this, interstellar law issued legislation mandating that women over 20 be matched with five male Beastmen to form a family and procreate, with males required to unconditionally protect females.
