After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

A few words from Li Yun caused the emotions she had been deliberately ignoring to suddenly surge forth...

When she first came to the Beast World, constantly forced by a system to do things against her will, Nan Zishi had been under immense pressure and had no choice but to act like a heartbreaker.

Even if feelings developed, she would lock her heart away and bury them completely.

But this time, returning to the Beast World, there were no missions. No one was forcing her to do anything.

She was living freely in the Beast World, simply following her heart.

After signing the contract with the Beast God over twenty days ago, she had counted the passing days for a while.

But as time went on,

Hu Bai would gently tidy up their home with the children, lightening her burden.

Lanxing would wisely hold back his tears, laughing in her presence instead.

Xuan Jin changed for her, returning to his family even though he disliked it.

Chi Xiao and his son gave up their tribe just to be with her.

During that period, even with all the lively chaos at home, Nan Zishi felt a sense of peace and happiness.

She was happy every single day. So happy that she started to lose track of time, the days blurring together.

Without even realizing it, she seemed to have stopped counting the days altogether.

She had even started to forget her agreement with the Beast God.

Then, when she went to the mining district, Hu Bai, Lanxing, and Chi Xiao had followed, waiting for her with the cubs just outside the area...

She took in Wolf Day, who was willing to become a Beast Slave for her. She saved Wolf Night, and accepted the father and his sons—Wolf Day, Wolf Night, Wolf Envy, and Wolf Admiration—as her own.

It was only then that she learned Wolf Day and Wolf Night had been searching for her across the Beast World for five long years...

Every one of them was utterly sincere. How could she possibly not feel the genuine love from her Beast Husbands and cubs?!

...

Watching this, the Silver Wolf Beastman’s pupils dilated slightly.

’When she’s feeling down, she instinctively seeks comfort from Xuan Jin.’

’She likes Xuan Jin more than she likes me.’

Wolf Day was, admittedly, a little jealous, but his heart ached more to see his beloved so vulnerable.

Wolf Day looked up at the Xuan Snake Beastman, hating that he couldn’t be the one to comfort her instead.

The Xuan Snake Beastman pulled her tighter, inch by inch.

He savored her soft, gentle kiss for a moment.

The way she relied on him, seeking his comfort, was both heartbreaking and enchanting.

Just as he sensed her about to pull away, the male Xuan Snake immediately took the lead.

He pressed her forcefully against the cave’s stone wall, deepening the kiss with an overwhelming passion that turned her world upside down.

He didn’t stop until her body grew limp and she was left breathless, finally ending the kiss with great reluctance.

He scooped her up into his strong arms and strode ahead, taking the lead.

Wolf Day could only follow behind.

After they had run for some distance, Xuan Jin finally calmed down enough to ask in a low, hoarse voice, ”What happened? Did Li Yun upset you?”

Nan Zishi buried her head into the cool crook of his neck and shook her head.

”Then what is it?” Xuan Jin pressed.

Nan Zishi pursed her lips, nuzzling against his neck and shaking her head again.

He slowed his breathing and spoke gently. ”Alright, I won’t ask anymore. My little female, let’s head back to the cave first, shall we?”

”Mm.”

She leaned softly against his shoulder, and Xuan Jin could feel her reliance on him, which made his heart ache for her all the more.

’What in the world did she hear just now to get this upset?’

Resting on Xuan Jin’s shoulder, Nan Zishi’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier. She closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

...

When she found herself in the Consciousness Space once again, Nan Zishi was a little surprised. But she quickly settled down, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Nan Zishi greeted him casually. ”Long time no see, Beast God. I called you so many times, but you never showed up. I was starting to think you were dead.”

A soft chuckle drifted from the void. Nan Zishi, you were looking for me?

”That’s right. I’ve got a few sick people at home: one is blind, one has a birth defect and can’t transform, and one of my Beast Husbands is in poor health. I want to heal them. How about you help me out? We can negotiate the terms,” Nan Zishi said, getting straight to business.

Hmm... Alright.

Nan Zishi shot upright. ”You mean you can heal them? Didn’t you say last time that you couldn’t interfere?”

The Beast God’s voice was as gentle as ever. I will find a way to help you. However, before we discuss their situation, let’s talk about yours.

”What’s there to talk about with me?”

He spoke with concern. Nan Zishi, you are in great emotional turmoil.

Nan Zishi: ”...”

...Time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, there are only six days left of the month. So much has happened in these past twenty-some days.

Nan Zishi’s heart sank a little.

Your Beast Husbands, your cubs, they have all returned to your side. They are all so good, every single one of them.

You’re hesitating. You can’t abandon your parents, but you can’t bear to leave your Beast Husbands and cubs, right?

Nan Zishi suppressed her anger. ”You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You deliberately stalled for time, wanting me to develop a sense of belonging to this world.”

The Beast God replied mildly, ...I don’t deny it.

The girl flopped onto the ground and mumbled, ”You’re really awful.”

The Beast God’s voice paused. After several seconds, it continued, To be honest, I don’t want you to hate me.

”But you are. You’re the Beast God, so your loyalty is to the Beast World. Does that give you the right to force me into a choice like this?”

”One world has my mom and dad, my little brother, my relatives and friends.”

”The other world has my Beast Husbands and my cubs.”

”I’m asking you, which one can I possibly give up? Why are you forcing me to make this kind of choice?!”

A soft ball of white light appeared before Nan Zishi. The light, the Beast God, settled down right next to her.

”Don’t get so close.”

Don’t be angry, please? the Beast God coaxed softly. How about this? We can change the terms of the contract. What do you think?

She asked in astonishment, ”The contract can be changed?”

Before she could finish her sentence, the contract she and the Beast God had signed materialized out of thin air. It clearly stipulated the time she was to be sent back to Earth.

Staring at the rapidly approaching date, her heart clenched again.

Seeing the girl on the verge of tears, the Beast God said gently, Don’t be anxious. We’ll change it like this.

The white figure gestured, and a new sentence was added to the contract before Nan Zishi’s eyes.

Nan Zishi’s mood shifted as she read the new line, and she slowly sat up straighter.

”After I return to Earth, I’ll have a three-day grace period to decide? Within those three days, I can choose whether to stay on Earth or return to the Beast World?”

Yes. Feeling better now? The ball of white light seemed to tilt its head, as if gazing at her intently.

Nan Zishi’s expression brightened visibly. ”You mean, I can choose to go back to Earth, and after I’m there, I can still choose to come back to the Beast World?!”

That’s right. Is that acceptable?

Nan Zishi nodded vigorously. ”Yes.”

”Beast God, if I leave, can I take Li Yun with me? She doesn’t belong here.”

Not yet. She is being monitored by her system. We don’t have a way to take her with you right now.

”...Oh.”

The soft white light seemed to stroke her head.

In the future, you will accomplish everything you wish to.

And we will all be waiting for you to come back.

Nan Zishi, I like to see you smile.
