Traveling through the world of beasts, various big guys are chasing after your pets!

Seeing He Jiaojiao holding the dagger and trembling all over, Mo Ran didn't know where he got the strength from, but he forced himself to walk over and press her into his arms.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Listening to Mo Ran's voice, He Jiaojiao slowly raised her head, tears flowing out of her eyes unconsciously.

When she killed Xing Ci just now, He Jiaojiao didn't feel scared, but now seeing herself covered in blood, she was terrified.

"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao. I'll take you home!"

He Jiaojiao leaned weakly on Mo Ran's chest, listening to his heartbeat made her feel a lot more at ease. Mo Ran picked He Jiaojiao up and stood up and walked towards the city.

Zhutian and Chiyan were seriously injured. They supported each other and dragged the unconscious Ziyi, limping behind them.

When He Jiaojiao and her group returned to Wanshou City, they found that Chuanluo and Zhuxiong were still in their stone house.

Seeing them come back, Zhuxiong immediately went to greet them. Seeing that He Jiao looked very bad and had a strong smell of blood on her body, he immediately took He Jiaojiao from Mo Ran's arms, turned around and carried her into the stone house.

The remaining partners looked at each other in confusion. Who was he?

Why doesn’t Jiaojiao show any intention of resisting?

Unable to find the answer in the other person's eyes, he could only turn his attention to Chuan Luo.

"Ahem..." Chuan Luo's face was extremely unnatural. "That was the bamboo bear. He gave He Jiaojiao the powder that could defeat the stray beast. Otherwise, I'm afraid none of you would be able to come back alive this time."

That male who looks like he is not even an adult is so powerful?

When the three of them dragged the still unconscious Zi Yi into the stone house, they saw that He Jiaojiao had been placed on the stone bench, and Zhu Xiong was using his supernatural powers to help her check her body.

Wood type?

The four of them looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes.

"I'm fine, go check on them, they're all injured."

He Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Mo Ran and the other three, so she quickly withdrew her hand and said to Zhu Xiong.

Zhu Xiong glanced at Mo Ran and the others calmly, then retracted his hand. "They are males. They will recover quickly from such minor injuries."

He Jiaojiao was speechless. Although males’ self-healing abilities were indeed very strong, there was a wood-type one right here. Why not use it?

At this moment, Ziyi, who had been unconscious all the way, woke up. He opened his eyes in a daze and found that he had returned to the stone house and everyone was fine. He jumped up on the spot.

"Have we defeated Xing Ci?"

"Who is so powerful? How did they do it?"

Mo Ran, Chi Yan, and Zhu Tian couldn't help but roll their eyes. Was this big white tiger not very smart? Didn't he see that there were outsiders in this stone house?

We can't let everyone know that it was Jiaojiao, this seemingly fragile female, who killed Xingci, right?

"By the way, you asked me to agree to a request before. What is it?"

He Jiaojiao didn't like to owe favors to others. Her friends and Chuan Luo were there, so she could fulfill Zhu Xiong's request and put her mind at ease.

"I want to be your partner!"

As Zhu Xiong spoke, he squatted down and gently took He Jiaojiao's hand, then kissed the back of her hand.

The hot and wet kiss made He Jiaojiao withdraw her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

"What did you say?"

He Jiaojiao couldn't believe it and asked again.

"I want to be your partner. You don't have a wood-type beastman around, so it would be much easier if I were here," Bamboo Bear said directly. "Besides, I like you very much."

Originally, when Chuan Luo told him about He Jiaojiao, he was reluctant, but when he really saw He Jiaojiao, the heartbeat at that moment made him understand that this was the person he was waiting for.

He Jiaojiao was stunned. If she remembered correctly, this was only her second meeting with this bamboo bear, right? And it was on the same day. How could he like her? And she looked so miserable now that she could tell without even looking in the mirror.

The most important thing is, he looks very young, is he an adult?

Chuan Luo didn't expect Takekuma to be so direct. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

"He Jiaojiao, Bamboo Bear is the most powerful witch doctor in our Myriad Beasts City. Moreover, he is also the patriarch of the Iron-eating Beast Clan. You won't lose out if you take him in."

Since he is the patriarch, he should be an adult, right? He Jiaojiao doesn't want to play with minors.

He Jiaojiao was hesitating when Mo Ran came over.

"Jiaojiao, if you don't like it, you can refuse. If that doesn't work, we can just go out and have a fight!"

Mo Ran was quite direct, but this made He Jiaojiao even more embarrassed.

After all, Takekuma is the benefactor of their family. If it weren't for his poison, they would probably have died today.

"I can give you some time to think about it and give me an answer in three days. Is that okay with you?"

Perhaps because he saw He Jiaojiao's hesitation, Bamboo Bear was not annoyed. After all, a special female like He Jiaojiao must have requirements when looking for a partner.

"I am willing!"

He Jiaojiao's voice came from behind him, and Zhuxiong stopped immediately. He looked back in surprise, not expecting that He Jiaojiao would agree to his request just like that.

"Are you really willing?"

Zhu Xiong took a few steps to He Jiaojiao, squatted down and looked at He Jiaojiao at eye level.

He Jiaojiao smiled slightly, "Why not? You are so beautiful, and you are also the leader of the Iron-eating Beasts. Why should I refuse?"

Mo Ran and the others looked at each other. Sure enough, their guess was right. Jiaojiao just liked good-looking males. She agreed to become a couple on the first day they met.

But He Jiaojiao didn't think so. She knew that Wanshou City already knew her identity and would let her choose a partner sooner or later. Instead of being arranged by others, it would be better for her to take the initiative. At least this way she wouldn't be too passive.

The most important thing is that He Jiaojiao did not feel any aversion to the bamboo bear in front of her.

"Okay!" Takekuma nodded. "It's too late today. You should get some rest. I'll come over early tomorrow morning."

After watching Zhuxiong and Chuanluo walk away, Mo Ran came to He Jiaojiao and squatted down. He held up He Jiaojiao's hand and asked, "Jiaojiao, do you really like that silly bear?"

Silly bear?

Does Bamboo Bear look stupid?

You have to know that in the place where He Jiaojiao lived in her previous life, the iron-eating beast was a national treasure!

But...it does seem quite cute.

Thinking that she would have to let the bamboo bear transform into an animal form so that she could pet it properly, He Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh. In her previous life, she hadn't been able to pet a giant panda, but this time she could finally get her wish!

Mo Ran and the others glanced at each other, their eyes filled with a moment of desolation. Did Jiao Jiao actually like that iron-eating beast so much? He had just left, and she already missed him.

When He Jiaojiao came to her senses, she was puzzled to see that her four friends looked dejected.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mo Ran shook his head and slowly stood up. "Nothing, Jiaojiao, do you want to take a shower first? I'll get you some water. Or do you want to eat something first? I just checked, the mutton soup that Ziyi cooked when he came back is still there. Just heat it up and you can eat it."

He Jiaojiao looked down at herself and said, "Let's take a shower first!"
