After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 41 Many have malicious intentions

She knew that Bai Mingchen, that old fox, was up to no good; he'd dug a pit for her to fall into.

Sang Tian glanced at the five people. In her mind, it was definitely a choice between Bai Mingchen and Li Su. One was the cool-handed treasure who could make her suffer less in the desert, and the other was the old fox who could bring her wealth.

"The work of close protection is too tiring, so leave it to Li Su. You don't need to do it." Sang Tian said with a fawning smile.

After saying that, Sang Tian looked at Li Su with a smile on her face, "Don't even mention protecting me, you'd be happy to let me and Li Su protect you closely, right?"

"Ah."

Li Su's eyes lit up with smugness as she walked to Sang Tian's side, seemingly showing off her selection.

Seeing the two of them, the phrase "the wife sings in unison with the husband" popped into my head, and I immediately felt disgusted.

Bai Mingchen lowered his eyes, a surge of anger rising in his chest. "You'd better protect yourself first."

"Let's move forward and find a place to rest. Talking nonsense here is just a waste of energy." Wu Lanyuan didn't want to get involved in their dispute and just wanted to resolve things quickly.

He calculated that, given Sang Tian's progress, she would most likely be promoted to A-level after this.

Once they reach Rank A, they just need to wait for the Stardust to issue a mission, and with their cooperation, the divorce can be finalized in no more than three months.

"Let's go, it's not good to stay in the sun all the time."

Despite having Li Su as her hand cooler, Sang Tian still felt scorching hot inside. She took out the sunglasses she had prepared and put them on to protect her eyes.

We walked for a long time, and the road was very quiet, without the slightest disturbance.

"Will it get dark here?" Sang Tian exhaled hot breath, feeling a sense of unease brought on by the weather.

Seeing that her face was flushed from the heat, Li Su pointed the small fan at her and said, "Yes, the temperature difference between day and night is large. It's only about ten degrees at night."

"This is huge, almost thirty degrees higher." Sang Tian wiped her sweat, thinking that going up would be difficult, but she didn't expect it to be this difficult.

They had to adapt to the temperature difference while also being wary of strange beasts.

"If we're unlucky, we might even encounter a sandstorm. What's a little temperature difference?" Bi Jingyan gulped down a mouthful of water, finally feeling a bit cooler in his feverish body.

Having only been on the high-temperature island for less than four hours, Sang Tian already found the days unbearable and missed the thoughtful and preferential treatment that Xingduan gave to vulnerable groups.

"We'll be at our resting place soon. Let's see if any exotic beasts will come to us, so we don't have to go looking for them." Wu Lanyuan's mind was full of prey.

He walked in front, intending to walk a little further, but when he turned around, he saw Sang Tian's face, which was flushed red from the sun, with her wisps of hair on her forehead damp with sweat and clinging to it.

Her once bright and lively eyes now looked listless.

Wu Lanyuan pointed to a green forest in the distance, "After you cross that forest, the number of strange beasts will start to increase. Be careful and don't go out alone."

These words were spoken to Sang Tian, ​​since she was the only weakling among them.

What seemed like a short walk to a nearby grove of trees took Sang Tian half an hour to reach. Her calves ached. "How come this journey, which looks like it only takes ten minutes, has taken so long?"

Seeing that she couldn't hold on any longer, Bi Jingyan said, "If you beg me, I can take you flying..."

"Please, take me there now." Without hesitation, Sang Tian abandoned her pride and complied with Bi Jingyan's request.

Every step in the desert is much more strenuous than outside, especially since she had been walking for almost two hours and had exhausted too much energy.

Bi Jingyan's eyes gleamed with smugness, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He beckoned to her, "Come here. If you had this kind of awareness earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer for so long."

Sang Tian shook her head, indicating that she couldn't walk anymore. "Who told you not to say so earlier? I can't walk. Come here."

Bi Jingyan looked helpless and walked towards her, complaining.

"Who treats someone like this when they need a favor?"

Sang Tian bent down and rubbed her aching calves, her tone frank, "I'm not a good person, have you forgotten? I even gave my ex-husbands banned drugs." One should always be wary of others, but she had plenty of malicious intentions.

"..."

Bi Jingyan had witnessed firsthand what it meant to speak softly but forcefully. He approached Sang Tian, ​​ignoring the murderous glare from Li Su beside him.

"Don't look at me like that. If you want someone to suffer with you, you have to ask them if they're willing, right?"

The atmosphere became awkward after those words were spoken.

In the blink of an eye, fiery red wings sprouted from Bi Jingyan's back, stirring up a cloud of yellow sand as he flapped them.

Sang Tian was held in Bi Jingyan's arms as they flew through the air, and apart from the heat, she had no other drawbacks.

The two were pressed close together. Sang Tian felt hot and shifted her body, wanting to separate a little.

"If you move again, I'll throw you down." Bi Jingyan looked down at the restless person in his arms, and deliberately loosened his grip after speaking.

The brief feeling of falling startled Sang Tian, ​​who quickly reached out and grabbed Bi Jingyan's neck. "You dare! If I die from this fall, you won't get away with it!"

Bi Jingyan's body temperature is very high. To him, even Sang Tian, ​​whose body temperature is normal, feels cold when she gets close to him.

Her sudden closeness made him inexplicably nervous, his throat went dry, his heart skipped a beat, and he was not used to such intimate contact with others.

Sang Tian frowned slightly because Bi Jingyan's body temperature was too high. She was wearing shorts today and could clearly feel the position and temperature of his arm.

"It's all sand, you won't die from falling."

"If this fall doesn't kill you, you'll be crippled. If I'm crippled, you'll have to take care of me for the rest of your life. When that happens, I'll tie up all five of you, and they'll definitely hate you to death."

"You wish," Bi Jingyan retorted stubbornly, but in his heart he was thinking, why should the other four people bear the consequences of his mistakes?

Upon arriving at the Green Forest, Bi Jingyan landed steadily and bent down to put the person down.

Sang Tian jumped down impatiently and looked up at the forest. The forest was mostly composed of camphor trees and sand willows. Because of the trees, the sand in this area was much firmer than in other places. You wouldn't sink in when you stepped on the ground, and it was easy to walk.

Sang Tian noticed several flowers in the grass that stood out. Their roots were black, their leaves were reddish-black, and their flowers were deep purple.

She crouched down, looked at the flowers curiously, and leaned in to smell if they had any fragrance.

She took a deep breath, but couldn't smell anything.

Bi Jingyan turned around and almost popped his eyes out.

He hurriedly grabbed Sang Tian's collar to keep her away from the flower, saying, "Your methods of seeking death are always unexpected. This flower is heartbreaking; it contains deadly poison from its roots to the scent it emits."

Sang Tian's pupils dilated, her face turned ashen, and she looked up at Bi Jingyan.

"But I... have already smelled it."

Bi Jingyan froze, his expression turning unusually serious. He asked incredulously, "What did you say? You've already smelled this flower?"

After hesitating for a moment, Sang Tian nodded under Bi Jingyan's gaze.

The man was unusually serious, and panic flickered in his dark red eyes. He frowned in disbelief.

He lifted her up from the ground, gripped her shoulders tightly, and looked her in the eye with urgency. "Can you smell anything? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Let me tell you, if you die because of this, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Sang Tian was also drawn in and became nervous, momentarily forgetting that she still had the spiritual spring.

Realizing there was a spiritual spring, her expression returned to normal, and she comforted the flustered Bi Jingyan, "I know you're anxious, but don't panic."
