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

Chapter 43 Taking advantage of each other
At night, the sounds of insects chirping filled the forest, and the fire crackled intermittently, which could be considered a form of white noise.

Bi Jingyan returned to the woods and saw only two tents by the campfire, which puzzled him.

Before setting off, the tents were already assigned, and each tent had its own unique markings. Bi Jingyan looked at the two tents and recognized his own tent at a glance.

Looking at the tent that had been set up, he scoffed inwardly. Wasn't he an outsider? Why would he set up a special tent for an outsider?
Though he was inwardly disgusted, his softened expression revealed Bi Jingyan's true feelings.

He unzipped the bag and found that the sleeping bag inside was bulging, indicating that someone had slept in it.

Bi Jingyan was slightly taken aback. Judging from her figure, he could tell it was Sang Tian. How could she be sleeping in his tent?
In the brief few seconds that Bi Jingyan was stunned, Sang Tian suddenly sat up straight, gripped the Flaming Bow tightly with her left hand, and drew the bow with her right hand, aiming at the person at the door. The string was pulled taut, and the red-glowing arrow was ready to be released.

"What, is isolating me and Wu Lanyuan not enough, you want to kill me in my tent?"

Bi Jingyan's face was cold, and his tone was colder than ever before.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Bi Jingyan, Sang Tian lowered her hand and placed the Flaming Bow back in its original position. The moment she canceled the release of the arrow, the Flaming Bow lost its bright red light, and its color dimmed and merged into black.

"where have you been?"

Bi Jingyan turned his head away expressionlessly, his attitude indifferent, "What's it to you?"

"Then I'll go back to sleep. Oh, right, we forgot to bring one tent. Go next door and squeeze in with Wu Lanyuan. Be quiet when you go out, I'm a light sleeper."

This infuriated Bi Jingyan. He entered the tent, his fiery red eyes glaring resentfully at the person.

She can actually sleep?!
Bi Jingyan clenched his fist indignantly, his anger no less than that of the bonfire outside.

As they were about to leave the tent, Sang Tian called out to Bi Jingyan, "Wait, if I really wanted to isolate the two of you, why would I enter the space in front of you?"

"Because you'll die if you don't go in now."

Sang Tian: That seems to make sense.

"So, does my going in count as saving your life? Is this how you talk to your savior?"

Bi Jingyan's pupils contracted, and he looked at Sang Tian with surprise.

He should have known that this woman wouldn't say anything nice.

This time, he was too lazy to waste words on others, and Bi Jingyan turned around as if to leave.

"Don't you want to go and see my space? It's very different from ordinary spaces~" Sang Tian drawled, trying to entice Bi Jingyan to take the bait.

Bi Jingyan froze, and after a few seconds, she looked back, her previously firm resolve wavering.

Seeing that people were interested, Sang Tian intensified her temptation, "They all begged me to take them in, but you are the first person I invited on my own initiative. You won't get another chance like this."

"Alright then, since you invited me, I can reluctantly go in and take a look."

Having a space is not a rare thing, but being able to bring a beastman into a space is a rare thing.

Sang Tian brought Bi Jingyan into the space, and his reaction was the most direct. His shock and excitement were genuine; he was even happier than she, the owner.

"I didn't expect your superpower to be so strange. Spatial superpower. If you encounter danger in the future, you can hide here and be absolutely deadly. No one will be able to kill you in this lifetime. No wonder you can be so arrogant as to feed five beastmen forbidden drugs."

Bi Jingyan observed her surroundings with curiosity.

He squatted by the stream, watching the slowly flowing water. "Is this your so-called 'resurrection spring'?"

"It's not that powerful. Doesn't Qingzhi's shoulder injury mean that its effect isn't that strong?"

Sang Tian vaguely sensed a problem: the spiritual spring water seemed to have a different effect on her than on others.

She had observed Qingzhi's injury. If she had soaked in the spiritual spring herself, it would have healed quickly in no more than three minutes. However, even after soaking for a while, Qingzhi's wound only stopped bleeding and healed slowly.

Bi Jingyan nodded, "I thought your water would be more powerful than Shen Jinxi's superpower."

"It's definitely not as good as her S-level healing ability." Sang Tian smiled. Her spiritual spring water only had miraculous effects on herself, but Shen Jinxi's ability was different; she could save people to the greatest extent possible.

If Shen Jinxi is already struggling to take care of herself when her mental energy is depleted, how could she possibly heal other beastmen?

Bi Jingyan spent an entire hour touring the space before finally leaving, urged on by Sang Tian.

Back in the tent, Sang Tian shooed Bi Jingyan to Wu Lanyuan's tent, and she lay back down in her sleeping bag, which still retained her previous warmth.

The moment she crawled inside, she comfortably closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The night was desolate, but the night view of High Temperature Island was beautiful. Brilliant stars filled the sky, forming a Milky Way, and the distant horizon shimmered with a bluish-purple hue—a breathtaking sight. With Zuo Ya joining, Shen Jinxi's team grew stronger.

A group of people sat around the campfire to keep warm, chatting and laughing. Zuo Ya was the one laughing the most.

She never expected that she would be able to latch onto Shen Jinxi's coattails at this time.

"I think you are completely different from the rumors. They all say you are an ice queen and difficult to get along with. I think it's just that those people are jealous of you. After all, you are one of the few healing females."

The relationship between the two is simple: Zuo Ya is Shen Jinxi's admirer.

Shen Jinxi wasn't stupid; she knew that this person was trying to build a good relationship with her in order to get help in the next two days. It would still be difficult for Zuo Ya's beast husband to deal with a B-level alien beast.

Because the monsters in the Floating Islands are generally stronger than rated.

"It's okay, I don't care what others think of me." Shen Jinxi tucked a stray hair behind her ear, smiled slightly at Zuo Ya, and explained gently.

Zuo Ya smiled and secretly observed Shen Jinxi's five beast husbands out of the corner of her eye. She found that the five men seemed unfriendly to her, and their subtle hostility made her feel uneasy.

Shen Jinxi and Sang Tian swapped husbands, and Sang Tian and her beastly husband were the ones who benefited.

It's understandable that these five people were unhappy with themselves.

What Zuo Ya didn't expect was that their hostility was so great that they wanted to kill her.

"Xiao Xi, can you really manage leading five C-rank beastmen? How about we cooperate, with my beastman assisting your five beastmen?"

Zuo Ya knew that Sang Tian was vindictive, so she didn't care about improving herself now. She just wanted to cling to Shen Jinxi and get out of the high-temperature island safely.

Once the pass is reached at the destination, it will be automatically activated. If you try to give up or regret it, your mental strength will decrease.

She had no choice but to follow her in.

Shen Jinxi naturally didn't want to let go of this easy task. "Forget it. You seem to need to improve your mental strength more than I do. Don't worry, since I dared to come, I'm confident in my abilities."

"This is nothing. I only recently advanced to B-rank, and my mental strength is still unstable. Don't be so polite with me."

Zuo Ya was determined to be tied to Shen Jinxi.

"Alright then, if you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, be sure to let me know, and I will do my best to help you."

Shen Jinxi had the air of a caring older sister; her smile was approachable, and her tone became much gentler.

"I'm relieved to hear that. Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best to help you."

Shen Jinxi nodded, yawned, and pretended to be sleepy. "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back to sleep."

"Go on, goodnight." Zuo Ya watched Shen Jinxi return to her tent.

After Shen Jinxi left, the other five beastmen went into another large tent, where they slept separately from Shen Jinxi.

A strange glint flashed in Zuo Ya's eyes. She knew that Shen Jinxi was definitely not satisfied with these five beastly husbands.

Based on her observations today, she realized that Shen Jinxi was even resistant to contacting them.

If you hate it so much, why change husbands?
Zuo Ya returned to her tent to rest, still wondering.

Shen Jinxi returned to the tent, her smile freezing and quickly disappearing, her eyes filled with impatience towards Zuo Ya.

"System, can you locate Sang Tian and the others?"

[System: No big deal. They're currently in a grove of trees about ten kilometers away from us. It seems they're making much faster progress than we are.]

"Nonsense, there are flies buzzing around the road the whole time, it's so annoying, there isn't a single flying beastman."

Otherwise, how could her progress be so slow!
"Where is that A-level alien beast you brought in located now?"

[System: Let me check. Currently, the A-level mental power venomous scorpion beast is here... wait, it's already been killed?!]

"Did Sang Tian and the others do it?"

[System: It wasn't her. She never left the grove. How could she have been killed? That was an A-level alien beast that I painstakingly found a loophole in the Stardust Realm to send in!]
