Originally, according to the order, Zhutian should have been accompanying He Jiaojiao tonight, but he was injured, so the appointment was postponed and became Mo Ran.

He Jiaojiao had no opinion on this matter. To her, they were all her partners and it didn't matter who came.

Night fell quickly. When He Jiaojiao was lying in the grass nest and about to fall asleep, a slippery and cold thing suddenly crawled under the animal skin. Without thinking, He Jiaojiao knew it was Mo Ran.

"Aran, I'm so sleepy, can you hold me while I sleep?"

He Jiaojiao didn't open her eyes, but directly reached out and embraced the snake's body. The snake's body obviously stiffened, and then casually transformed into a human form, hugging He Jiaojiao into its arms.

It doesn't feel right!

He Jiaojiao suddenly opened her eyes, and with the help of the bright moonlight, she saw the man's face clearly. This was not Mo Ran, but a stranger she had never seen before!

"Ah..."

He Jiaojiao was about to shout, but suddenly she couldn't make a sound.

After trying several times without success, He Jiaojiao looked at the unknown male in front of her with a wary look.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just have never seen such a beautiful female, so I want to get to know you!" The man said softly in a cold voice into He Jiaojiao's ear.

For some reason, He Jiaojiao felt that this person's voice was full of bewitching flavor, and it actually made her lose her guard. She subconsciously bit her lip, hoping to use the pain to sober herself up.

He Jiaojiao stared at the newcomer, wanting to ask who he was. The man seemed to see through He Jiaojiao's thoughts and took the initiative to explain, "You have entered my territory. You can call me Ah Ci!"

Xing Ci curled his lips as he looked at the wary female before him. He had been hiding in the shadows and watching them since they landed. He had seen that the males all called her Jiaojiao. She had four mates, and the most powerful one was probably the flying beast that was injured today.

Xing Ci had originally just been bored and wanted to take a look, but he hadn't expected to hear that Jiaojiao was actually a Saint Female. You know, in the Beast World, Saint Females are extremely precious. Not only because they have superb reproductive abilities, but also because they are females chosen by the Beast God. The cubs born by Saint Females will also be blessed by the Beast God to a certain extent.

Looking at the snake beastman named Aci in front of her, He Jiaojiao was a little confused. She didn't know what his purpose was. Moreover, his beast pattern was covered by the animal skin around his waist, so He Jiaojiao couldn't tell what star level he was.

However, since he was able to enter the wooden house without anyone noticing, I think his ability must be quite high.

Just when He Jiaojiao was wondering whether her companions were a match for A Ci, she heard Mo Ran's footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Jiaojiao, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Mo Ran went upstairs and saw He Jiaojiao sitting blankly in the grass nest, not knowing what she was thinking.

But the next moment, Mo Ran became alert. He smelled a strange scent in the air. Although it was very faint, he still caught it.

"Jiaojiao!" Mo Ran quickly came to He Jiaojiao and protected her behind him, "Are you okay?"

He Jiaojiao wanted to speak, but she found that she still couldn't make a sound.

Not hearing He Jiaojiao's answer, Mo Ran turned around and saw He Jiaojiao frowning, looking very distressed.

"You can't speak?"

Mo Ran asked tentatively.

He Jiaojiao blinked quickly in response to Mo Ran's words.

"All of you come up!"

Mo Ran shouted downstairs, and in just a moment, the other three beast husbands and the three snake cubs appeared on the second floor.

"what happened?"

Chi Yan was the first to notice something was wrong. He used his special ability to sense and found that there should be no one else in the wooden house except them, so he felt relieved.

"Jiaojiao, I don't know what happened. I can't speak!"

Mo Ran held Jiaojiao in his arms worriedly. It was a pity that there was no orc with wood-type ability around Jiaojiao, otherwise he could help her check the situation at this time.

Chi Yan stepped forward and after several attempts, he came to a conclusion, "Jiao Jiao, did you make eye contact with that person?"

He Jiaojiao blinked a few times in response.

"That's right!" Chi Yan's face was solemn, and the people around him even breathed much lighter. "That person must have some special ability like controlling mental power, which is why Jiaojiao can't speak."

"Will Jiaojiao be unable to speak forever?"

Ziyi asked worriedly, Jiaojiao has such a nice voice, what should I do if she can't speak in the future?

"No, it should be fine after a while when the mental force dissipates!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did that person appear? Why didn't we notice him at all?"

Zhutian clutched his shoulder with one hand. His back, injured by worry, had been irritated, and now it was bleeding profusely. But his biggest concern right now was the orc who had appeared out of nowhere. How on earth had he managed to avoid him and Chiyan, two seven-star orcs, and reach Jiaojiao?

The cabin became quiet, everyone lowered their heads and frowned tightly.

Seeing that the adults were silent, Xikang didn't dare to speak either. He silently climbed onto He Jiaojiao's shoulder and stretched out his snake tongue to sweep across her face.

After growing over the past few days, the three snake cubs, which were originally not as thick as fingers, are now almost as thick as stone pestles.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Xikang perched worriedly on He Jiaojiao's shoulder, guarding her motionlessly. The other two cubs, though unable to speak yet, also used their actions to tell He Jiaojiao that they were always there.

Looking at her three children and four companions who were worried about her, He Jiaojiao suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

In her previous life, He Jiaojiao grew up with her grandparents. Her parents divorced, and no one wanted to take care of her, so they abandoned her in the countryside. As she grew older, her grandparents passed away one after another, leaving her with no one who truly cared for her.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Ran suddenly noticed that He Jiaojiao's eyes were red, and subconsciously thought that the three brats had done something. He was so angry that he reached out to teach them a lesson, but He Jiaojiao raised her hand to block him.

"None of their business!"

Mo Ran's face lit up with joy, "Jiaojiao, you can speak now!"

Only then did He Jiaojiao realize that she had recovered without knowing when.

After listening to He Jiaojiao's story, Mo Ran stood up immediately and said, "We must leave immediately!"

The other three nodded in agreement. Since that man called Ah Ci was so powerful, it would be best for them to leave now. Otherwise, there was no telling when he would reappear.

After discussion, it was decided that Zhutian should lead everyone away from the air, otherwise the snake beast would be able to follow the smell and find them.

"But isn't Zhutian injured?"

He Jiaojiao was a little worried. While Zhutian's wound wasn't fatal, it was still quite serious. If he had been flying alone, it wouldn't have been a big problem. But with so many people around, would it have aggravated his injuries if he had been accompanying them?

"I'm fine, just hold on!"

Zhutian immediately expressed his opinion. He Jiaojiao couldn't persuade everyone, so she had to agree. Then she put the wooden house into the space, and several of them climbed onto Zhutian's eagle back together.

It was not until He Jiaojiao and her group flew into the night sky that Xing Ci, who was hiding in the dark, came out. His eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at the direction they left and clenched his fists.

He Jiaojiao, you are mine, you can't escape.
