Chapter 54 Bai Yanci, Unconscious
Before Wen Li could answer, Meng Yu looked over.

Seeing that Wen Li's face was pale, she agreed, "Wen Li, you don't look well. Let Zhu Yan carry you."

Meng Yu also intended to bring Wen Li and Zhu Yan together.

She knew that Wen Li had always liked Zhu Yan, her beastly husband, and since she finally had a chance, she thought of giving him a push.

This treatment of Zhao Qi was still quite taxing. Although Wen Li didn't faint like last time, she still felt physically exhausted.

She didn't try to be strong anymore, and nodded gently, "Thank you for your help."

These words sounded distant, and Zhu Yan frowned slightly.

He didn't say anything, but squatted down in front of her.

His back was strong and broad, and Wen Li gently placed her slender white fingers on it.

When I lightly touched Zhu Yan's back with my fingertips, I could clearly feel his body tremble slightly.

Startled, Wen Li withdrew her hand.

Zhu Yan sensed her departure and turned his head to say, "...It's dangerous nearby."

Wen Li knew he was urging her to hurry up.

She simply put her arm around Zhu Yan's back and wrapped it around his neck.

Zhu Yan nimbly carried her on his back.

The two of them stood very close together.

Seeing this, Meng Yu winked at Wen Li, then looked away.

While carrying Wen Li on his back, Zhu Yan easily held both of their baskets in his hands.

Zhu Yan carried Wen Li on his back, and Meng Yu helped Zhao Qi. The four of them quickly left the place.

Once they left the area and entered the tribe's territory, Meng Yu's anxiety gradually subsided.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhu Yan, you're amazing!"

This is an S-class powerhouse, terrifying indeed.

Zhao Qi from her family was pinned to the ground and beaten, but Zhu Yan directly tore the eagle apart with her bare hands.

That's terrifyingly strong.

Zhao Qi nodded in agreement upon hearing Meng Yu's words.

Orcs have a deep respect for the strong.

Zhao Qi was only a C-level talent orc, and this was the first time he had ever witnessed the strength of an S-level talent orc, which deeply impressed him.

To be honest, if Zhu Yan hadn't been there today, all three of them would be dead.

Because of this day, no matter how much Meng Yu praises Zhu Yan, he won't be angry.

"Thank you," Zhu Yan said politely.

Wen Li leaned against Zhu Yan's broad, sturdy back, quietly listening to the conversation between the three.

The image of Zhu Yan angrily slaying the giant eagle flashed through his mind.

His movements were swift and decisive, and his expression was calm.

This was the first time she had seen him take action.

His calm and composed demeanor alone is so handsome it makes your legs weak.

Moreover, it makes me feel very safe.

Indeed, skill is the best cosmetic procedure for men, not to mention that Zhu Yan is also so handsome.

When Wen Li watched his series of actions, her heart skipped a beat.

In the Beast World Continent, finding a beast husband... well, you really have to find a strong one, Wen Li couldn't help but think.

After entering the tribe, the two sides separated.

Zhao Qi desperately needed rest, so Meng Yu led him back, while Zhu Yan took Wen Li directly home.

When only the two of them were left, Wen Li remembered that she hadn't returned the thing Zhu Yan had just slipped into her hand.

Zhu Yan gave her a bead, exactly the same as the one Xin Yuan had given her last time, but the color was slightly different.

Oh, right! The beads Xin Yuan gave her last time are still in her space. I'll return them to her later too!

Wen Li played with the beads in her hand for a while, then gently poked Zhu Yan's back with her free hand.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yan asked.

"This, the bead." Wen Li handed over the bead in her hand. "Here you go."

Zhu Yan caught a glimpse of the beads in her hand out of the corner of his eye, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You can keep them."

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Wen Li said softly.

"There's nothing wrong with it," Zhu Yan said dryly. Wen Li noticed that his ears had turned slightly red.

She was puzzled. Why was she suddenly shy?
However, since Zhu Yan has already said so, it would seem ungrateful of her to refuse again.

Wen Li tucked the beads into her hands and put them away. "Then I'll accept them?"

Zhu Yan nodded, "Mm."

He walked much more briskly and seemed quite happy.

Wen Li didn't notice this and carefully examined the bead while holding it.

"It's quite beautiful," she exclaimed.

The bead in her hand was the same as Xin Yuan's, round and crystal clear, but the color was different.

Xin Yuan's bead was gold, while the one Zhu Yan gave her was red.

The fiery red color is very similar to Zhu Yan's hair color, equally flamboyant.

"Is that so?" Zhu Yan's voice was muffled.

Where Wen Li couldn't see, he pressed down on the corner of his lips.

Wen Li put the bead into her spatial storage and said, "Your color is a little different from Xin Yuan's."

The moment the words left his mouth, the air seemed to freeze.

Wen Li could clearly feel that Zhu Yan's aura had turned cold.

Her heart skipped a beat. Had she said something wrong?
Wen Li had no idea what the bead represented.

She thought Zhu Yan was just unhappy that she made the comparison, and was about to explain.

Zhu Yan asked, "Xin Yuan also gave you the beast core?"

Wen Li belatedly realized that this thing was called a beast core.

She had no memory of it. She had thought of asking Meng Yu before, but every time they met, something else came up, and she forgot about it.

"Mmm," Wen Li responded softly.

Zhu Yan then asked, "When did this happen?"

“Last time we went to the back mountain, we encountered some stray beasts.” Wen Li finished speaking and explained, “I didn’t mean to make a comparison; they were all quite beautiful.”

Zhu Yan was silent for a moment before asking, "Which one do you prefer?"

Wen Li was taken aback by his question.

After considering for a moment, he said, "Yours."

Just tell whoever asks, since Xin Yuan isn't here right now anyway.

Zhu Yan responded with an "Oh".

As she sensed the chill emanating from him recede, Wen Li knew that her answer was correct.

hehehe~
The two returned to the cave shortly afterward.

At the door, Xin Yuan anxiously looked around. When he saw Wen Li and Zhu Yan return, he immediately rushed over.

"Wen Li, brother!"

His anxiety was palpable; it was clear something had happened.

Zhu Yan asked, "What happened?"

Xin Yuan said, "Brother Yanci is injured!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Li's eyes widened instantly.

Bai Yanci, injured?

He's a male with S-class talent, who can hurt him?

“I brought Yanci back, he’s right here.”

Xin Yuan said as he walked toward Zhu Yan's cave.

Zhu Yan hastily placed the two baskets in her hands on the ground.

Just as he was about to put Wen Li down from his back, he heard Wen Li say, "I'm going too."

From Xin Yuan's words, we know that he encountered Bai Yanci on his way back.

After Zhu Yan accompanied Wen Li to pick mushrooms, Xin Yuan also set off to go hunting.

On his way to the back mountain, he smelled a strong stench of blood.

Upon closer inspection, they found Bai Yanci lying unconscious on the ground.
