Seeing how well they worked together, Zhutian felt jealous. If it were him, he could also take good care of He Jiaojiao!

"Zhutian, we will set off again soon, you..."

"Jiaojiao, I feel a little pain in my left arm. Can I go with you?" Zhutian interrupted He Jiaojiao's next words.

He Jiaojiao was stunned, and then she felt Mo Ran's muscles, who was holding her, become stiff. She turned her head to look at the other companions, and sure enough, they were all looking at Zhutian with a wary look.

It was obvious that Mo Ran and Zi Yi were very keen on finding partners for themselves before, why did they act like this when they came to Zhu Tian?

She didn't dare to do anything. If Mo Ran and the others were unwilling to accept it, He Jiaojiao naturally wouldn't even consider it.

"This...maybe it's not very convenient!" He Jiaojiao said with some embarrassment, "The three of them are my partners, and it's understandable that we set out together, but you..."

"I can do it too!" Zhutian almost blurted out.

As soon as he said that, Zhutian regretted it because he could sense the murderous aura coming from He Jiaojiao's companions. Mo Ran and Zi Yi weren't reliable, but the terrifying thing was Chi Yan, the Seven Star Orc.

"Ahem!" He Jiaojiao looked embarrassed.

"Jiaojiao, don't you like me?" Since the words have been spoken, there is absolutely no possibility of taking them back. Zhutian doesn't want to miss this opportunity, so he decided to be brave for once. "Jiaojiao, I really want to be your partner."

The last person to confess to her in front of their partners was Buck. She remembered that time, seemingly convinced by Mo Ran, he gave up on He Jiaojiao. But He Jiaojiao hadn't heard Mo Ran and the others talk about his abilities, and she didn't know if her partners were a match for Zhu Tian.

"Jiaojiao, if you don't want to, just tell us directly and leave the rest to us!"

Mo Ran gently held He Jiaojiao's hand, looking at her with a determined look. He Jiaojiao looked at the other two people. Like Mo Ran, they smiled at her, as if telling her to make her choice without worry.

"Why do you want to be my partner? Do you like me?" He Jiaojiao asked.

Zhutian was stunned. He hadn't expected He Jiaojiao to ask him that. He admitted that since their last separation, He Jiaojiao's figure had always appeared in his mind, and her every frown and smile seemed to be imprinted in his mind. Even when he was on the verge of death, he regretted not fighting for himself once.

But after spending these few days together, Zhutian felt that he was more determined to get He Jiaojiao. He wanted such an outstanding female to belong to him, and he wanted to have his own cubs with her. He also wanted to see her speak to him so gently and smile at him.

"Yeah, I like it!"

Zhutian thought for a long time and nodded heavily.

Although his love might not be pure, Zhutian believed that it was also a kind of love. After all, he did not have such feelings towards other females.

"If you're worried your partner won't accept me, I can challenge them."

Perhaps because he saw that He Jiaojiao had not spoken for a long time, Zhutian glanced at Mo Ran and the others and said.

When Mo Ran, Zi Yi and Chi Yan heard this, they immediately stood up and prepared to fight.

He Jiaojiao nervously clenched Mo Ran's hand, but Mo Ran turned to look at her and smiled gently, "Jiaojiao, if you really want to agree to Zhutian, then don't stop us."

As if she sensed Mo Ran and the others' determination, He Jiaojiao hesitated and withdrew her hand.

In the animal world, it is common for a partner to be challenged by a male. As long as the female shows her unwillingness, the partner will even risk her life to defeat the other.

But He Jiaojiao didn't know whether she should agree to Zhutian. The first reason was that Zhutian really met her aesthetic standards, and he had a very strong domineering aura. She had often fantasized about having such a partner in her previous life.

The reason why she was conflicted was that He Jiaojiao knew that such a person was difficult to control. It could also be said that he might not be as loyal to her as Mo Ran and the others. He would have his own ideas, and it would be difficult for others to change him.

Mo Ran carried He Jiaojiao to the door of the wooden house and told the three boys to take good care of her. Then he and Chi Yan and Zi Yi stood against Zhu Tian.

In order not to affect the wooden house, they deliberately chose a farther location to fight.

Zhutian pulled the animal skin on his body down a little, revealing the animal pattern that he had deliberately covered up. Mo Ran then discovered that Zhutian was also a seven-star orc, just like Chi Yan's fox.

In this situation, Mo Ran and Zi Yi would most likely not play. After all, there was no comparison, so they could only pin their hopes on Chi Yan. So they retreated to He Jiaojiao, sitting on her left and right.

Chi Yan narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected the Eagle Tribe to have such a master. He had never heard of any other Seven Star Orcs on this continent before. This showed that Zhu Tian was incredibly cunning, able to conceal his abilities.

So, that injury?

Chi Yan suddenly clenched his fists and rushed towards Zhutian.

The moment they collided, they both transformed back into their beast forms. This was the first time He Jiaojiao had ever seen Chi Yan in his beast form, as large as a small hill. He Jiaojiao felt that with just a single swipe of his claws, Chi Yan could turn her into a meat pie. The eight fiery red fox tails swaying behind him gave Chi Yan an even more domineering aura.

"Chi Yan is serious now!"

Mo Ran sneered. He had originally thought that he would fight with Zhutian to understand him better, and then let Jiaojiao take him in. But he hadn't expected that Zhutian was so cunning and could even hide his beast markings. Such an unrighteous beast was not worthy of being Jiaojiao's partner.

"Are they in no danger?"

He Jiaojiao asked with some concern. After all, no matter whether she wanted to take in Zhutian or not, she didn't want Chi Yan to get hurt.

"They are all Seven Star Orcs, we can't say for sure!"

Zi Yi's eyes were full of excitement, and the hostility he had just shown was completely gone. After all, being able to watch the Seven Star Orcs fight at such a close distance was also an opportunity for growth for these beasts.

Mo Ran couldn't help but glare at Zi Yi, which scared Zi Yi so much that he shrank his head and sat obediently beside him without saying anything, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes at all.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao. If Zhutian really wants to be your partner, there will be no danger."

He Jiaojiao was puzzled. What did this have to do with Zhu Tian's sincerity? If he really wanted to be her partner, would he give other partners a break?

Maybe... it's not about letting them go, but about not killing them?

After thinking about this possibility, He Jiaojiao was no longer as nervous as before, and her eyes were replaced with the same excitement as Zi Yi. Mo Ran glanced at Jiaojiao, smiled helplessly, and reached out to wrap her up, letting her sit on his lap.
