CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 83: DON’T TRUST THE FEMALE LEAD OF THE WORLD_1

When she saw that dark purple snake again, she and the snake stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Here we go again...

Including this time, it was already the third time she had this dream. She didn’t want to have such embarrassing dreams anymore.

Si Yan couldn’t struggle; she could only think of something else to divert her attention. Her dreams seemed to be getting more logical. If she analyzed them according to their logic, she had an older sister who had thrown her into the Snake Pit to die in her place. But in the end, while the snake Beastman was out of his mind, she had established a companion relationship with him.

Feeling the pain, Si Yan almost exclaimed ’666’. At this moment, Si Yan was beginning to feel that this dream might actually be real. The Great Demon King before her was very likely her current, and only, Beast Husband—the father of her four cute cubs. So, the father of her four cubs is the ultimate antagonist of this world? Could the four cubs still be guided onto the right path?

...

Wang, the snake beastman, having experienced three consecutive erotic dreams, also had to ponder the meaning of these dreamscapes. He had a faint feeling that this dream might just be real. He had been gravely injured five years ago and had fallen into a deep sleep since then. He had no recollection of this event. But based on his state in these three dreams, and the few times he had opened his eyes and seen his surroundings, he could tell that it was the cave where he slept. So, did she take advantage of his weakest moment to bind him into a contract?! The pressure around Wang grew heavier. He needed to confirm this matter. If it was true, he would find a way to dissolve their companion relationship!

...

When Si Yan woke up, she felt exhausted.

Xi Qing, wearing the mask that Si Yan had personally crafted for him, saw Si Yan awaken, and his face brightened with more smiles.

"Mother," Xi Qing said with a smile as he handed Si Yan water to brush her teeth.

Si Yan took the water Xi Qing handed her and smiled with relief as she patted his head.

Si Yan got out of bed, washed up briefly, then used Silent Grass to wash away her own scent before plastering her face with mud again.

The Beastmen of Black Tiger City were setting out from White Eagle City today.

At the city gate, Bai Hong and Bai Feng saw Si Yan off.

Bai Hong held Si Yan’s hand. "Si... Teacher Si Yan, why don’t you wait? Our Hawk Clan flies very fast." Bai Hong gave Si Yan a meaningful look and whispered, "The High Priest flies even faster; he could take you there in a moment."

Si Yan looked in the direction Bai Hong indicated. Bai Feng, as if noticing their gazes, glanced back slightly, a gentle smile gracing his lips.

Si Yan immediately coughed lightly twice. "No need. I came with the Black Tiger City contingent, so I’ll leave with them."

Bai Feng responded with a gentle hum. However, in the next moment, the expression in the handsome adult male’s eyes suddenly changed. His pupils began to spin, shifting between square and round shapes. Then, a very faint concern flickered through his eyes.

"You..." He hesitated for a moment. Alas, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Si Yan’s fate has been interfered with by that personage; through these trials and tribulations, she will encounter that personage. That personage has been waiting for her for a long time.

A gentle breeze blew, and Bai Feng’s long, snowy feathers fluttered in the wind. He sighed softly.

"Be safe on your journey." He suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Si Yan’s ear, "Don’t trust the world’s female protagonist."

"..."

Si Yan looked at Bai Feng, somewhat shocked. His snow-white eyes reflected her face, as Bai Feng gazed intently into hers, awaiting her answer.

"Mm," she said.

Bai Feng watched Si Yan depart. Bai Hong, though somewhat afraid of the High Priest, still called out to him several times.

Bai Feng’s gaze grew heavier. He looked up at the sky; in his eyes, there was a hint of disdain for the heavens looming overhead. With the Beast God absent, monkeys declare themselves kings. What’s fake will always remain fake. Si Yan, no matter what, I will help you.

...

Si Yan and her three cubs sat atop a White Tiger beast. She felt a gaze fixed on her from behind and, looking back, saw it was Hu Que. What was this kid up to now?

Hu Que, realizing Si Yan had noticed him watching her, stopped hiding his questioning gaze. He ran up to her, staring straight at her.

"What are you looking at?" Si Yan asked.

Behind Si Yan, the three cubs bristled their scales and bared their teeth ferociously at Hu Que.

Hu Que ignored the unwelcoming expressions of the three cubs and kept his gaze fixed on Si Yan. "The female who thrashed me that day—that was you, right?"

Si Yan: "..."

"The scent is a bit different," Hu Que said, looking Si Yan up and down, "but your scent isn’t very stable. And your build is remarkably similar to that female’s."

Frowning in confusion, Hu Que asked, "So you actually are a female? Tell me, are you a female or not?"

Si Yan: "..."

Though Si Yan didn’t answer directly, Hu Que seemed even more conflicted than before. If being beaten up by Si Yan was already depressing, then being beaten up by Si Yan, a *female*, was even more so. He, a majestic Red Crystal male, couldn’t even defeat a delicate female?! This made no sense!!!

With a dumbfounded expression, Si Yan said, "Hu Que, I have no idea what you’re talking about." Besides, he has no proof. I just have to remain firm. He’s such a drama queen.

Seeing she wouldn’t admit it, Hu Que glanced at her and left angrily.

Hu Que hadn’t spoken quietly, so Jie Ling, who was nearby, overheard their entire conversation.

Si Yan, a female? She’s a female?! Suddenly, everything clicked for Jie Ling. No wonder Ming Yan treated her somewhat specially! No wonder Si Yan detested her, no matter how friendly Jie Ling tried to be! It turns out she wasn’t a male youth at all; she was a female!

Jie Ling looked at Si Yan and her family of four. Their close relationship wasn’t because they were half-siblings from different fathers. It was because Si Yan was their mother!! With that realization, Jie Ling was seething with anger. She had wanted Si Yan to be her male. She had put in so much effort; she had been so eager to have her. But in the end, she turned out to be a female!! Did she enjoy watching Jie Ling run around in circles for her?! Was she playing with Jie Ling’s feelings, toying with her? She would make her pay a price!!

The Black Tiger male leading the troop suddenly raised his hand.

"Stop!"

At the Black Tiger Beastman’s command, the entire troop halted.

Hu Que quickly approached, asking, "Lord Ming Yan."

Ming Yan spoke gravely, "The beast tide is coming."

"Beast tide?" Hu Yong and Hu Qiao also caught up.

Ming Yan directed the troop, "Move to higher ground. Wait for the beast tide to pass."

The Black Tiger City group moved up the mountain. After they reached a cliff and were waiting, it wasn’t long before the whole world shook thunderously. Then, Si Yan saw in the distance a dense herd of black bulls thundering across the land, surging and crashing through the place they had just crossed.

Watching the frenzied bull herd below, the Black Tiger City Beastmen acknowledged that if it weren’t for Ming Yan’s early warning, even they, a band of Tiger Beasts, would likely have suffered casualties. Now, squatting at a high vantage point, they could even hunt a few of these maddened wild animals and add to everyone’s meal.

Si Yan led her three cubs to the cliff’s edge to glance at the beast tide, then she carefully guided them a few steps back, maintaining a safe distance from the precipice. Being cautious was second nature to Si Yan.

Jie Ling watched Si Yan and her family.

"Little Jie Ling," a Green Crystal White Tiger Beastman smiled at her.

Jie Ling bashfully lowered her head, her cheeks tinged with red. "Brother Hu Wa." Since Hu Que was now ignoring her, she could only turn her attention to Green Crystal Beastmen.

Her eyes reddened at the corners, making her appear both pitiable and wronged. She had a natural allure for males; a display of vulnerability, a few tears, and they would all fall for her charms. She refused to believe she couldn’t captivate even a Green Crystal Beastman.

Seeing the young female’s expression, Hu Wa found it unbearable. He hurried over to console her. "What’s wrong? Don’t cry, don’t cry, my heart aches when you do. It’s that Si Yan, isn’t it? I knew it was her. Don’t worry, brother will definitely seek revenge for you!"

When she heard Hu Wa say this, Jie Ling knew she had him hooked. She said sweetly, with a hint of malice, "Brother Hu Wa, will you do me a favor?"

Jie Ling walked up to Si Yan, speaking sweetly, "Brother Si Yan."

Jie Ling raised her head, looking Si Yan up and down.

To think she’d still approach me after yesterday. She truly has the resilience of this world’s female protagonist. Si Yan already disliked Jie Ling, and with Bai Feng’s reminder, she became even more vigilant.

Suddenly, a piercing cry rang out.

"Big brother!!!!!"

Si Yan abruptly turned her head and saw a White Tiger Beastman shove Dongchi, who was still a few meters from the cliff’s edge, towards it.

Below the cliff was the surging beast tide.

Hu Wa glared viciously at Dongchi.

"Dongchi!!!!!"

"Mother..." Dongchi looked at Si Yan, his eyes wide with shock.

He forgot to react.
