She gave birth to a litter of furry babies, thus extending her life.

"Yes, the advancement took a little longer," the dragon beastman said.

"Congratulations! You've reached the Red Rank so quickly. And you've even successfully transformed into a dragon."

"Ah."

Ruan Xiyue looked at the dragon beastman, who was a cold conversation killer to everyone, and suddenly felt a sense of balance.

She leaned down and whispered to the dragon-beastman, "Could you distract them?"

The dragon beastman ignored Ruan Xiyue.

The leader of the wandering orcs said, "Let's stick to what we agreed on. We want the Holy Maiden, and we'll leave you the valuables."

Ruan Xiyue took out a bow and arrow from her spatial storage, drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and aimed at the Holy Maiden lying on the ground.

Everyone saw Ruan Xiyue's actions. She even licked her thumb as if to feel the wind speed and direction.

The leader of the wandering orcs chuckled and said, "Where did you kidnap such a cute little female?"

The dragon beastman suddenly released the pressure of a red-tier beastman, and at the same time, Ruan Xiyue shot an arrow.

The Holy Maiden's scream sounded like a weak groan before she fell silent.

The stray beastmen were then filled with rage and fear.

Ordinary bone arrows and stone arrows could never hit a target at such a distance, let alone kill with a single shot!

That's why nobody cared!

Even Long was taken aback. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't expect your archery skills to be so good, unlike your pointless nonsense which is so boring."

The leader of the wandering orcs gritted his teeth and said, "They promised to take the Holy Maiden with us!"

The dragon-orc said in a cold, lazy voice, "I didn't stop you from taking it away."

Why did you kill her?!

"She wanted to kill, and she had the ability to kill. It's that simple." The dragon-beastman's domineering voice was equally indifferent.

The leader of the wandering orcs took a deep breath, restrained his restless subordinates, and said, "Then I'll take everything that belongs to these people!"

The dragon-orc glanced at the wandering orcs, then leaped into the sky and disappeared.

"What are you doing! Qin Ye and the others are still there!" Ruan Xiyue shouted, gripping Long Ran tightly.

The dragon-orc scoffed and said, "The wandering orcs won't kill them."

"How did you know? But he's still injured! I have to treat his injuries!" Ruan Xiyue asked.

The dragon-beastman was silent for a moment before saying, "His injuries are useful! We can't treat them now, but we can treat them when he comes back! Besides, how do I know the wandering beastman won't kill Qin Ye? Because I'm a wandering beastman too."

Ruan Xiyue lowered her body, burying her face in the dragon beastman's beard behind his neck, afraid of being forced to swallow another mouthful of air. But she heard the dragon beastman's muffled voice come from within him: "Aren't you scared?"

Ruan Xiyue said, "I'm scared!"

The dragon-orc lowered his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips. It was unclear whether he was mocking his own foolishness in believing someone would say they weren't afraid, or mocking the world for its mediocre people who judged others solely by their social status.

"So could you fly a little lower? I'm starting to feel oxygen deprivation!"

The dragon-beastmen, on the contrary, flew even higher.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Ruan Xiyue grabbed his dragon beard tightly, buried her face in it, and said in a wronged tone, "You asked me if I was afraid of you, you're a wandering beastman, so don't pause for so long! I thought you were asking me if I was afraid of heights!"

The dragon-beastman seemed less angry after teasing Ruan Xiyue. He then flew back to low-altitude mode.

Ruan Xiyue didn't speak to the dragon beastman until he landed.

After arriving at a valley, the dragon-beastman landed in front of a large cave.

He didn't put Ruan Xiyue down, but just lay there on the table.

Ruan Xiyue waited and waited, then pursed her lips and said angrily, "Let me down!"

"Didn't you say you didn't want to talk?"

Enraged, Ruan Xiyue grabbed the dragon beastman's beard and said, "Put me down right now! Otherwise, I'll keep haunting you!"

The dragon-beastman frowned and said, "What a rude little female."

As he said this, he gently rolled her off his body with his dragon tail and placed her on the ground.

Ruan Xiyue glared at the dragon beastman and snorted, "If I were afraid of you, would I pull your dragon beard? You're crazy!"

"Just because I can tolerate your behavior one time doesn't mean I will tolerate it forever," the dragon-beastman said coldly.

Ruan Xiyue pointed at the dragon beastman and said, "Wait for me to come back!"

The dragon-beastman glanced at Ruan Xiyue and said, "Whatever. I won't come looking for you even if you don't come back. Other people around me would disturb my breathing; I'm used to being alone."

Ruan Xiyue ignored him completely and walked straight towards the bend in the hillside on the other side of the flower sea.

As darkness fell, the dragon beastman finally broke his slumber. He opened his eyes, looked into the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then got up and flew low towards the direction where Ruan Xiyue had disappeared.

After searching for a long time, the dragon beastmen finally found Ruan Xiyue in a sea of ​​flowers with a gradient of pink, purple, and red.

The dragon-orc clicked his tongue impatiently and said, "Get up!"

Ruan Xiyue's cheeks were flushed as she lay limply in the sea of ​​flowers, saying sweetly, "If I could get up, would you need to tell me?"

She opened her arms and said, "Pick me up~"

The dragon-beastman used his tail to coil around Ruan Xiyue. Just as he released his tail, Ruan Xiyue grabbed a handful of water and sprayed it onto the dragon-beastman's beard.

Like a drunkard, Ruan Xiyue grabbed the dragon beastman's drooping beard and said, "Why don't you transform into human form?"

The dragon-beastman frowned and asked, "Want to see?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded emphatically, let go of his hand, and staggered, saying, "I want to see!"

The dragon-beastman turned and swept Ruan Xiyue up, flying towards the cave, saying, "You can't see!"

"You're such a cheapskate!" Ruan Xiyue pouted and said, "He's definitely not as good-looking as my Qin Ye!"

The dragon-beastman chuckled and asked, "You think he's handsome?"

Ruan Xiyue's voice instantly turned cold. She patted the dragon scales on its back and said, "My beast husband is the most handsome! I've never seen a male more handsome than him!"

"Oh? Really?" The dragon-beastman's indifferent voice carried a hint of nonchalance and other emotions.

Ruan Xiyue nodded and said, "Of course! He's my first husband, whom I personally chose! You don't know, in my memory he used to be very quiet, almost dull. But that's not true. My husband is the most handsome, has the best personality, and is the best to me!"

The dragon-beastman scoffed and said, "He has the best personality? And what does 'husband' mean?"

Ruan Xiyue grabbed the dragon beastman's beard and said, "You're just jealous of my husband! Husband means beast husband. You're a single beastman, you wouldn't understand!"

The dragon-beastman asked, "What should the female beastman be called? Old Mother?"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes and said, "Call me wife!"

The dragon-beastman asked curiously, "Wife?"

"Ah—don't use that word in a voice that sounds like my husband's!" Ruan Xiyue said, twisting unhappily on the dragon's back, and accidentally flipped off.

Before the dragon beastman could use its tail to wrap around her, it instantly transformed into human form and caught Ruan Xiyue.
