CHAPTER 154: CHAPTER 145 STATUS FOR THE GREAT DEMON KING_1

In Beast World, females need not labor, spending their days at home tending to the children.

Given the scarcity of females, with a male-to-female ratio of ten to one, no matter their height or build, any female would have a multitude of males fond of and pursuing her.

Therefore, the concept of beauty wasn’t particularly prominent among the females of Beast World.

They believed that being strong, fertile, and not prone to sickness equated to beauty.

As such, most females in Beast World didn’t prioritize cleanliness and were often tall and heavy-set.

Si Yan, such a tidy and pretty little female, was simply too dazzling, astonishing all the males present.

In the lake, many freshwater merman males were peeking, the desire for mating clearly evident in their eyes.

Si Yan helplessly complained to Old Gecko, "I knew my face could cause trouble."

Old Gecko stretched his limbs. "Then it depends on whether you find these males with designs on you more troublesome, or the blood-red lightning above your head."

Si Yan: "..."

Old Gecko: "My dear granddaughter, you are slowly gaining power. You can now protect yourself with that face of yours."

Si Yan actually agreed with this. "Old Gecko, you’re right."

Tai Seng, the Silver Wolf Beastman, blushed as he looked at Si Yan, stuttering and seemingly worried.

"Si Yan, now that you’ve become a fish, do you have to stay in the water all the time? Do we have to move from Dark Sun Lake to live in the water?"

Just then, a chilling voice sounded from the side, the unnerving hiss of a snake’s tongue.

"You could make a fish tank," Sen Ran, the Serpent Beastman, said coolly.

Keeping a fish, for him, shouldn’t pose any difficulty.

Si Yan turned her head to see She Wang, whose face was slightly pale from hurrying back and forth.

"Great Demon King! You’re back so soon!"

Dongchi: "Mother!"

Nan Mo: "Mother! How did you turn into a fish?"

The two little serpents immediately switched whom they were clinging to. They hung onto Si Yan, tickling her, making her shiver and laugh uncontrollably.

Seeing Si Yan was unharmed and in good condition, Sen Ran, the Serpent Beastman, relaxed slightly.

But his face visibly darkened when he saw the Fish Gauze she wore was very transparent. Her upper body was covered only by two seashells, concealing her pretty bust.

In Beast World, there was no notion of exposure or modesty.

The Merfolk Clan all dressed like this; there was nothing improper about it.

But at this moment, only one thought echoed in the mind of the male before her.

Si Yan was his; no one else could look!

He almost instantly drew close, his tall form shielding her, his long tail coiling around her.

He completely blocked everyone else’s view.

"Why aren’t you wearing the clothes I made for you? Don’t you like them?" His voice turned icy. Had an outsider heard him, they probably would have trembled with fear.

Si Yan couldn’t see in the darkness, but she answered honestly, "It’s not that I dislike the clothes you gave me. I offended Old Turtle, and I don’t want him to recognize me, so I dared not wear them for the time being."

In the darkness, She Wang’s dark purple, slitted serpent pupils fixated on her. Even in the dim light, as a Serpent Beastman, he could still see the beautiful female before him very clearly.

She Wang picked up a piece of white beast fur and draped it over her. His voice was still cold but no longer suppressed. "Wear this for now; I’ll make you a new one later."

Si Yan refused, "No, it’s too hot."

"Be good."

"It’s too hot! The weather is way too hot right now. I really don’t want to wear fur!"

Now that she was a fish, what was wrong with wearing a swimsuit? The difference between this garment and a swimsuit wasn’t really that big.

Yet the Serpent Beastman before her didn’t seem inclined to back down.

"Yan Yan, be good," he said, his voice lowering with a hint of coaxing.

Still, Si Yan was unwilling.

The blood-red lightning at Dark Sun Lake had made such a commotion it alerted not just the Serpent Beastmen but the Fox Clan as well.

While the lightning struck, no one dared to approach. Once it subsided, Serpent Beastmen and Fox Clan members alike flocked to the edge of the lake.

Hu Bu and She Ying led their respective Beastmen, standing behind She Wang.

Hu Bu stood there, disrespectfully asking, "Lord, do you know what that lightning just now was all about?"

She Wang turned his head coldly, offering no reply.

The Serpent Beastmen simply stood their ground. For them, it didn’t matter what had just happened; they just needed to follow the Lord’s commands.

The red fox Hu Ling saw that something was amiss with She Wang; he was encircling something and hadn’t turned around.

Hu Ling swayed her waist as she stepped forward.

No sooner had she moved than countless male eyes from the Fox Clan were fixed on her.

Hu Ling, undoubtedly the number-one beauty of the Fox Clan!

"Lord~" she cooed with full allure.

"Lord, it’s been so long. Why haven’t you come to visit Hu Ling? Hu Ling is always here welcoming you."

As she spoke, she attempted to move closer to see what She Wang was encircling.

The cold-blooded Serpent Beastmen were not pleased at this.

A Red Crystal Serpent Beastman shouted, "Hu Ling, if you have any shame, don’t cozy up to our Lord! Our Lord already has a Mistress. They are very much in love!"

"Exactly! Shameless female, stay away from our Lord!"

It was rare for them, the Serpent Beastmen, to have a female, and their Mistress was very fond of him.

If Hu Ling caused their Lord to fall out of favor, that wouldn’t be good!

For their Lord to remain in favor, the Serpent Beastmen of the Delusional Domain were truly wracked with anxiety!

"You have a Mistress? I don’t believe it," Hu Ling said enchantingly. "I’m so beautiful, the first beauty of the Fox Clan. If I can’t move you, where in this world would you find a female more beautiful than me, more capable of affecting you?"

At this moment, Hu Bu chimed in too, "Hahaha, stop kidding! Who doesn’t know that our Lord detests females? How could he suddenly have a Mistress? To fend off the advances of outside females, our Lord has thought up every trick in the book."

She Wang lowered his head, looking at the small female he was encircling, her beautiful eyes glaring at him.

The males of the Fox Clan chimed in one after another: "Lord, Hu Ling is so beautiful; she’s more than enough for you. Why don’t you agree to be Hu Ling’s male? That way, our serpent and fox tribes can become even closer."

"What do you mean you already have a female? You’re a Serpent Beastman; how could you possibly have a female who loves you? Hahaha, you Serpent Beastmen are so funny, creating such lies just to reject females!"

"Everyone knows our Fox Clan is charming and seductive. How could there possibly be another female in this world more beautiful than our Hu Ling?"

"That’s right, Lord She Wang, Hu Ling is the most beautiful female in the world! You two are a perfect match in talent and appearance."

Hearing how the Fox Clan praised Hu Ling, the Merfolk Clan Beastmen in the lake looked disdainful.

The most beautiful??? What a joke! They aren’t even as good-looking as our Merfolk Clan.

Si Yan heard all the commotion outside. Her clear-cut eyes slightly curved as she watched She Wang with a smile and asked a very mundane question, "Great Demon King, who is more beautiful, me or Hu Ling?"

She Wang lowered his head and, as if possessed, reached out to gently tap her small nose, whispering, "You are more beautiful."

Si Yan was pleased.

"Great Demon King, may I set the record straight for you?"

She Wang was a bit perplexed.

But then he saw Si Yan’s small hand gently touch his chest.

Feeling the soft touch on his chest, Sen Ran, the Serpent Beastman, was taken aback, as if he could hear his own heart madly thumping.

He saw her using his body to climb up, her tender little hands and feet bracing against him.

The Serpent Beastman once again felt an indescribable tingling sensation.

She climbed out of She Wang’s protective circle, her small head peeking out from his shoulder.

Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Her small face was pink and adorable, her cherry lips red and moist, and her large, beautiful eyes were clear and bright, her lashes long as if they belonged to an eyelash sprite.

Her body was adorned with pearls and clam shells gifted by the Merfolk.

Her slender, milk-white arm encircled the male’s neck. The contrast between strength and fragility was visually impactful.

She tilted her head slightly, her clear-cut eyes curved, and she smiled innocently as she greeted the gathered Beastmen of the Delusional Domain.

"Hello everyone, my name is Si Yan. I’m your Lord’s official Mistress."
