After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

Chapter 206: Chapter 202: The Main System’s Possession

A slight smile graced Nan Zishi’s lips. “Thank you for taking care of me.”

“Of course I should take care of you. Why are you thanking me?” Chi Xiao was a little displeased.

‘Does she say thank you to Hu Bai? Or to Lanxing? Or to Xuan Jin, Wolf Day, and Wolf Night? So why is she thanking *me*?’

He just didn’t like her thanking him.

Watching the big bird’s pouty display, Nan Zishi couldn’t help but laugh.

Chi Xiao shifted awkwardly for a moment, then decided it was completely unfair.

‘We’re all her Beast Husbands. Why can’t she treat us the same?’

In a small fit of pique, he suddenly lowered his head and pecked her on the lips.

After the kiss, however, it was the tall and powerful High Mountain Fire Red Eagle whose face instantly flushed bright red.

‘He…’

‘Whatever!’

One of his large hands wrapped around her waist while the other gently cradled the back of her neck, supporting her as he kissed her.

The beastman’s heart pounded in his chest. His cheeks were hot, and his body felt feverish.

He kept his eyes open until he saw the Little Female Master close hers. Only then did he shut his own eyes and lose himself in the kiss.

‘The Little Female Master’s lips were so soft, her taste so sweet.’

‘Maybe her fever is contagious.’

‘His head felt dizzy.’

As they slowly parted, Chi Xiao was still lost in the kiss. His eyes felt warm, and his voice was deep and husky. “Female master…”

Nan Zishi looked at the sky. A full day had passed. She said, “The Main God System is expected to descend into the Beast World in about two days. Its first targets will likely be System 006 and Li Yun.”

“Huh?”

Nan Zishi said, “Chi Xiao, we’re going to the mining district. We have to protect Li Yun!”

“Oh, okay.” Although Chi Xiao didn’t fully understand what was going on, that didn’t stop him from listening to Nan Zishi.

As Chi Xiao flew toward the mining district with Nan Zishi, she entered the Totem Space to communicate with her other Beast Husbands.

Nan Zishi appeared inside the Totem Space and contacted Xuan Jin, as well as Wolf Day and Wolf Night.

The Mystic Snake Totem and the Double Wolf Totem appeared shortly after.

Xuan Jin: “Little female, how are you doing now?”

Nan Zishi told him the truth. “Chi Xiao got me out. I’m on my way to the mining district now. Are you guys there?”

Xuan Jin sounded regretful. “I’m not. I’m in the Eastern Swamp.”

Wolf Day and Wolf Night said, “We’re near the mining district.”

Nan Zishi replied, “That’ll do.”

Xuan Jin asked, “Little female, why are you going to the mining district now?”

Nan Zishi replied, “Xuan Jin, while I was in the Priest Hall, I overheard a conversation between Long Yi and the Main God System. The Main God System plans to descend into the Beast World in two days, and its first target is likely Li Yun.”

Xuan Jin’s voice grew loud. “You’re going to take on the Main God System? Wait a minute! If you go now, you’ll only have Chi Xiao and Wolf Day and Wolf Night with you. Hu Bai, Lanxing, and I aren’t there yet!”

Nan Zishi replied, “Two days isn’t enough time. Xuan Jin, stick to our plan. Work with Hu Bai to unify the entire East. Once I’ve captured the Main God System, I’ll return and directly claim the throne as empress!”

Xuan Jin was truly both furious and anxious.

Nan Zishi smiled and stroked the agitated Mystic Snake Totem, placating it. “Back when you were teaching me to cultivate, didn’t you say I would likely face many enemies and that you hoped I could learn to stand on my own?”

“Well, I can stand on my own now, Master Xuan Jin.”

The Mystic Snake Totem finally calmed down, though he still didn’t approve.

Nan Zishi said, “Stick to the plan. I’m counting on you.”

Xuan Jin sighed.

‘She had learned how to coax him, and he was truly helpless against her.’

It took the Eight-striped Beast Chi Xiao over a full day of nonstop flying to get from Ten Thousand Beasts City to the mining district.

Chi Xiao hadn’t slept for two nights, and the dark circles under his eyes were pronounced.

When Nan Zishi and Chi Xiao rendezvoused with the Silver Wolf Brothers outside the mining district, Wolf Day and Wolf Night immediately started teasing Chi Xiao.

“Chi Xiao, what happened to your eyes?”

Chi Xiao just huffed twice in response.

‘So what if I’ve been up for days?’ he thought smugly. ‘I’ve been with the Little Female Master this whole time. She’s been either sitting on my back or snuggled up close to me. Eat your hearts out!’

However, he noticed that something about Wolf Day and Wolf Night’s aura seemed different as well.

Chi Xiao strode forward. “Wolf brothers,” he asked, “I’m an Eight-striped now. What about you two? How many stripes you got?”

Wolf Day and Wolf Night exchanged a look before the totems on their faces lit up in unison.

Eight stripes!

Both of them were Eight-striped!

Chi Xiao froze. “You two leveled up, too?!!”

The Silver Wolf Brothers now carried the casual, relaxed air of those in a superior position, and their imposing presence was even stronger.

Wolf Night grunted. “Yep.”

The sense of accomplishment Chi Xiao had worked so hard for was instantly obliterated!

But then another thought struck him. ‘Man, the males in this family are crazy competitive!!’

‘We’re even better at fighting now!’

‘I love it!’

Wolf Day gave Nan Zishi a hug.

Wolf Night quickly stepped forward to hug her as well.

After exchanging pleasantries with her Beast Husbands, Nan Zishi said, “Time is short. We need to find Li Yun in the mining district first. We can talk later.”

“Right.”

…

In the entire mining district, the only formidable opponent was a one-eyed, Eight-striped Beast named Xiang Ze.

The Eight-striped Beasts—Chi Xiao, Wolf Day, and Wolf Night—were unfazed. ‘A mere Xiang Ze? He’s nothing!’

The three of them led Nan Zishi into the mining district as if it were completely deserted, smoothly arriving at the entrance to a cave.

Nan Zishi found that the entrance to Li Yun’s underground cavern was blocked.

Wolf Day moved the large boulder blocking the entrance. “Let’s get down there and take a look!”

Wolf Night went first, followed by Chi Xiao, then Nan Zishi, with Wolf Day taking up the rear.

Her three husbands formed a protective detail around her, front and back.

Nan Zishi descended deep underground into Li Yun’s familiar dwelling, but there was no one there.

Nan Zishi found signs of a struggle.

After examining the signs, Wolf Day said, “It looks like Li Yun has been abducted.”

The light in Nan Zishi’s eyes slowly dimmed.

…

Inside a cave in the mining district, Li Yun lay tied up, having been tossed aside.

Li Yun’s head was splitting. She shrieked, “GET OUT!!! SYSTEM 006!!! GET OUT!!!”

Sharp, electronic sound waves crashed against her eardrums like a tidal wave. System 006’s warning voice was already twisted and distorted.

Xiang Ze rubbed his own ears, then kicked Li Yun in disgust.

“What’s all the screaming for? Useless human female.”

He walked deeper into the cave. Before him hovered a small, glowing metal sphere.

Xiang Ze puffed out his chest. “Hey, Main God System,” he said. “I’ve already brought you the human female you wanted. Now it’s time for you to fix my eye.”

He’d been a laughingstock ever since losing that eye. It was his greatest shame!

A voice chuckled from the metal sphere. “Don’t be so hasty. I’ll give you a metal eye right now.”

“A metal eye?” Xiang Ze raised an eyebrow. “Well, hurry up then. Quick, quick!”

In the next instant, the metal sphere shot directly into his eye socket.

Xiang Ze began to struggle violently. “PAIN! IT HURTS, IT HURTS!!”

“What are you doing?!!”

“GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!”

“FUCK!! FUCK!!! GET OUT!!! GET THE HELL OUT!!!!”
