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

Chapter 74 There is no kindness to speak of.
Que Shiwen chuckled lightly, his expression natural, "Of course we'll stay at home. Xiaoxi, you've been in a bad mood these past few days, how could we possibly go out and cause trouble?"

Que Shiwen and Hu Xi also knew about Sang Tian's memories being extracted.

Hu Xi frowned, but forced himself to remain calm as he echoed Que Shiwen's words.

"Xiao Xi, you wait at home. Shi Wen and I will go out and see what's going on." Hu Xi reacted quickly, leaving Shen Jin Xi at home and letting Que Shi Wen go out with him.

Que Shiwen asked, "What happened?"

"The orcs from the black market have surrounded our house."

“The black market will definitely not let this go after running into such a big problem. Xingduan has already proven that Sang Tian is innocent, and they will definitely not give up on finding the real culprit. Zuo Ya just posted some bad comments about Xiao Xi on Yunduan a few days ago, so it's normal for her to suspect us. Don't panic.”

After listening to Que Shiwen's words, Hu Xi felt that they made sense.

To their surprise, the orcs from the black market were openly guarding the vicinity, not even bothering to hide, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes of varying sizes staring intently at them.

"Even the worst ones are at Rank B. We're no match for them. Let's go back first." Que Shiwen sensed a killing intent; the beastmen around him were not to be trifled with.

After returning to the house, Que Shiwen relayed his conversation with Hu Xi to Shen Jinxi, saying that he would reveal it when it was safe to do so.

Shen Jinxi nodded and didn't ask any further questions, but the feeling of being watched made her very uncomfortable.

While she was lost in thought, a message popped up in the cloud.

[He Zi invites you to join the valerian trading group]

Seeing her profile picture, which had been grayed out for a long time, light up again, Shen Jinxi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before she dared to open the cloud to reply to the message.

[He Zi, why are you online?]

[The group owner of this group is quite interesting. The items they sell start at S-grade, and the day before yesterday they even sold twenty Red Desert Flowers. I suspect the group owner's special ability is most likely wood-based, allowing them to control plants.]

Shen Jinxi remembered that Zuo Ya had recommended this group to her before.

[I seem to remember Sister He Zi, one of your abilities is also a wood-based ability.]

No, she's more powerful than me. The soil on the mainland is completely polluted now; my superpowers are practically useless.

Jinxi never expected that a small herbal medicine group leader could bring He Zi, who had been in seclusion on the mainland for a long time, back to the scene. She wondered what was so special about her.

Soon after, He Zi sent another message: "Her wood-type ability may have purification properties."

Upon seeing the word "purification," Shen Jinxi felt as if she had been electrocuted, and she couldn't sit still.

[By the way, I heard about your beast-swapping incident with Sang Tian. Didn't you dislike her? Why did you help her out?]

Shen Jinxi suppressed her unease. "I don't like her, but she grew up with me, so I feel a little guilty."

[Seriously, Shen Jinxi? How can someone like you be kind? I thought all our kindness died the day we destroyed her powers. Compared to you, I'm far too wicked. No wonder I was banished to the Desert Continent.]

Shen Jinxi's face turned pale. She quickly deleted the cloud message and hurriedly logged off, not daring to reply to He Zi.

Her hands were trembling as she regretted replying to He Zi. That woman was a madwoman; no one who got involved with her could get rid of her.

A week later, Sang Tian woke up from her afternoon nap and went downstairs, only to find no one home.

She opened the refrigerator, took out an ice cream, and just as she unwrapped the packaging, Wu Lanyuan pushed open the door and came out, their eyes meeting.

"Where is everyone else? Why are you home alone?"

Wu Lanyuan shook his head. "I don't know."

"Are you going out too?" Sang Tian noticed that Wu Lanyuan's clothes were not loungewear, so he was obviously going out as well.

"We're not going out now." Wu Lanyuan, unaware that the others had gone out, decided to stay behind to protect Sang Tian's safety now that he knew. This was the time when Bi Jingyan went out to buy groceries, and Bao Zemin was always busy, so what about the other three?
Sang Tian took another ice cream from the refrigerator, walked over to Wu Lanyuan, and handed it to him, asking, "Did something happen that I don't know about?"

Wu Lanyuan lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then accepted the ice cream. The ice cream was cool and seeped through the thin wrapper.

"There's a trade fair today, but I'm not sure if they're going to the trade fair."

Anyway, he went to the trade fair.

Upon hearing about the trade fair, Sang Tian immediately became interested and quickly swallowed the ice cream in her mouth. "What is this for? I want to go too."

"It's similar to a market, but five times the size. However, it's not safe there. I'm worried that people from the black market might follow us there."

Wu Lanyuan refused Sang Tian's request, worried that he wouldn't be able to protect her in a crowded place.

"It's alright, it's been a week already, I'll just take the Flame Bow with me." Sang Tian thought for a moment, then reached out and took Wu Lanyuan's hand. "We can't afford to get separated like this, can we?"

The man's expression changed slightly. Beneath his calm exterior, his heart was racing, and the tips of his reddened ears betrayed his inner turmoil.

The sound of her heartbeat drowned out her voice; all he could see was her lips, still smeared with ice cream, moving as she spoke. Wu Lanyuan didn't hear a single word she was saying.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Sang Tian took it as a tacit agreement and let go of him. "Then it's settled. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes. You eat the ice cream and then we'll go out."

"There's ice cream on your lips." Wu Lanyuan grabbed her wrist with his large hand and gestured to her lips with his eyes.

She was eating chocolate ice cream, and there was a brown stain on the corner of her lips.

"Okay, then let go of me first?" She was still holding an ice cream in her other hand.

Wu Lanyuan immediately released her.

Sang Tian stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her lips, a playful and cute gesture. Sure enough, she tasted the chocolate on her lips. Luckily, Wu Lanyuan reminded her.

Wu Lanyuan's gaze towards her gradually intensified, becoming intense and burning.

"If you're not going to eat the ice cream, put it in the fridge first. It's probably melted a bit by now." The temperature is high now, and the air conditioning hasn't been turned on since no one was in the living room. Sang Tian's attention was focused on the ice cream in his palm.

"Okay." Wu Lanyuan withdrew his gaze.

Sang Tian went upstairs to change her clothes, while Wu Lanyuan sat on the sofa waiting. He got up when he saw her come downstairs.

Sang Tian wasn't planning to sell anything at the trade fair; she just wanted to take a look and hopefully find some good items.

Upon arriving at the trading market, Sang Tian got out of the car and saw a sea of ​​people. This was the first time she had ever seen so many beastmen and females on the Beast World Continent. There were at least a thousand of them, and the scale was so vast that it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Sang Tian was still observing when suddenly a hand enveloped hers, their fingers intertwined.

She turned to look at Wu Lanyuan, her bright eyes flashing with surprise. Was the weather so hot that it had melted this iceberg?

"Didn't you say that if I hold your hand like this, we won't get lost?" Wu Lanyuan noticed her gaze and calmly explained.

Sang Tian nodded, "That's true."

"Let's go, see if there's anything you like."

Sang Tian grasped his hand in return, her heart leaping with joy, and her steps became lighter.

A black car stopped next to Sang Tian's car. The driver picked up a walkie-talkie and said, "When Sang Tian enters the market, everyone be on your guard. She's accompanied by an S-class black tiger with immense strength. Don't try to fight her head-on."
