Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Either you accept it, or you spout all sorts of grand principles and reasons, and I have no choice but to reluctantly take your beastly husband's head for use!

So, subconsciously, Xixi squeezed Yinyou's hand and tapped it three times lightly in the other's palm. This was her agreement with Yinyou: if they encountered any accidents, they would use this signal to become invisible and leave the place quickly!

Just as Yin You was about to activate his talent, the young city lord sincerely said, "Although Elder Qian was not ordered by me, he went for my sake. If this has caused you any trouble, Yun Yao City is willing to provide full compensation. I am also very sorry for this!"

As he spoke, he even bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

For this reason, Xixi tapped Yinyou's palm again, meaning to wait a little longer.

The young city lord felt a blur before his eyes, but when he looked again, everything returned to normal.

Since he bowed and greeted them, no one suspected anything.

Just as Xixi was about to relax, she heard the young city lord say again, "I'm sorry..."

Subconsciously, Xixi gripped Yinyou's hand tightly, ready to leave with Yinyou at any moment.

But she was curious, curious about what the young city lord wanted to do.

But then the young city lord continued, "Yesterday at the city gate, due to my negligence, I didn't explain to the guards why I asked you to come up here, which caused you to feel panicked. I am very sorry!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply once again.

Xixi: "..." Okay, can you stop taking such long breaths when you talk? Can't you just say what you mean all at once? You scared me to death!

Just as Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the young city lord speak for the third time: "I'm sorry..."

Xi Xi's heart skipped a beat. If the other party wasn't the young city lord of Yun Yao City, she would have been cursing right now. Seriously, does he even know how to speak? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't apologize blindly. And if you do apologize, do it quickly. Don't beat around the bush!

"Just now, because I glanced at you too much, my guard misunderstood and forced you to come up. I'm really sorry about that!"

Okay, we understand what he means. He didn't intend to look for her; it was his subordinates who misunderstood. Fine, she can go back to work now.

So Xixi nodded, then pulled Yinyou and turned to leave.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, the person blocked his way again.

Xi Xi raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Didn't you say you weren't planning to look for me?"

"Uh... I wasn't planning on looking for you, but... but... since I've already come looking for you, well then..."

Xixi's heart skipped a beat. She even felt that she wouldn't be surprised if the other party said, "I'll take your dog's life for you."

Influenced by Xixi's emotions, Yinyou also stared intently at the other party, ready to disappear at any moment.

Ironically, the young city lord was completely oblivious to this tense atmosphere, and kept his head down as he spoke to himself, "Then let's settle the compensation."

"Phew..." Mommy, that scared me to death!

As Xixi wondered how many more crystals she would earn, although she was not short of money now, no one would complain about having too much money.

But then the young city lord continued, "Compensating with crystals seems rather vulgar..."

Xixi: "???" Who told you crystals are tacky? I love crystals, are you trying to renege on your promise? I have a national treasure to say, but I don't know if I should!

"Since you have come to Yunyao City, you must also be here to participate in the selection. Every Yunyao City Lord in the past has been able to directly appoint a Holy Female. Since I took office, I have never appointed one..." Having said this, the young city lord thought that he had made his point clear. The rest was up to the other party to understand. After all, some things were better left unsaid.

But to everyone's surprise, Xixi immediately retorted, "Didn't you say that Elder Qian could designate a Holy Female every year? How come you, as the city lord, have less power than Elder Qian!"

If Elder Qian were here right now, he would surely cry out "Injustice!" Who spread this rumor? Is it even true? Some things shouldn't be spread around carelessly!

He, Qian Lao, is merely a steward in the City Lord's Mansion of Yun Yao City. If a mere steward has such power and can appoint the Holy Consort every year, not only would the successive City Lords have to crawl out of the ground and beat him to death, but even the Beast God would not let him go!

"Ahem... Your Excellency may not know this, but while Yunyao City can indeed designate a Holy Consort every year, those are merely nominal, and the blessings from the Beast God they receive are negligible. However, the Holy Consort appointed by the City Lord surpasses ordinary Holy Consorts, and the blessings from the Beast God they receive are far greater than those of ordinary Holy Consorts!"

In short, the former is just something Qian Lao uses to make a big show of things, occasionally bringing it up to do favors and fool various forces.

The position of Holy Queen that he offered was a contract between the Beast God and their Kunpeng clan, which would help the wife to conceive Kunpeng offspring through a special blessing from the Beast God!

Of course, he had already decided to have no offspring, so there was no need to say more about these things, lest it cause distress to the young female.

Xi Xi's eyes lit up. If it were just a name without substance, she could easily give it up. But if she could receive the blessing of the Beast God, a blessing that surpassed that of ordinary Holy Females, she would definitely...

Wait, why would he give her such a precious opportunity?

According to him, he only has this one designated opportunity in his life. If it's just for the sake of making an apology, he could simply give the crystal to appease him. Why bother?

Moreover, she never asked him for compensation, but he inexplicably came up and apologized three times, which now seems very deliberate!

He must have something in mind!

Thinking of this, she smiled and shook her head, "No need. Whether I am selected or not depends entirely on the decree of the Beast God. If I am fortunate enough to be selected, I will be happy. If I am not selected, I also have somewhere to go, so there is no need to worry."

Xixi's answer was clearly unexpected by the young city lord. After a moment of surprise, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Every year, females come to Yunyao City to participate in the selection. As long as he can remember, there is an endless stream of them. Everyone's eyes are full of desire. Those who are selected become arrogant and domineering, while those who are not selected become crazy and stupid. He thought this was the norm for females, but he never expected to meet an exception!

His violent tendencies were indeed urgent, but he was absolutely unwilling to hand himself over so easily.

By handing over the sole designated holy maiden position, he demonstrated both his sincerity and his test.

If she becomes excited and frenzied, like the other chosen holy women, he will not only take back her spot, but also remain silent about the matter of mental comforting her, only letting Elder Qian give her a nominal title as a form of appeasement.

If she could remain rational amidst her excitement, he would then discuss with her in detail the matter of becoming her beast husband, explaining that the appointed position was originally given to him by the Beast God. He would say that after marriage, the two would continue to live separate lives, but there was only one condition: she would have to fulfill her marital obligations with him once a year to appease the violent impulses within him. However, he would deceive her, believing that this would allow him to receive more blessings from the Beast God.

But she unexpectedly chose a third path and rejected him!
