CHAPTER 15: CHAPTER 15: PINK ENERGY SPHERE

You should know that today he went out of the city to hunt Fierce Beasts and thought of Ruan Li three hundred and fifty-two times along the way.

If Shi Yu were here, he would add: He stupidly laughed ninety-seven times, just look at his foolish expression.

"Hmm, you all worked hard today," Ruan Li said.

Shi Jue suddenly stood up from the sofa, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, "It’s not hard, it’s something Beastmen have to do when they come of age."

After exchanging just a few words, Bai He brought the simply prepared dishes to the table.

For a moment, there were only subtle sounds at the dining table.

When dinner was over, it was still not yet seven o’clock. After putting the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, Shi Jue asked Ruan Li, "Do you want to watch a TV drama?"

Ruan Li thought that besides surfing the Smart Brain, she had no other entertainment activities in the evening and gladly agreed.

Bai He went upstairs early, and Zhe Ye was never interested in TV dramas, so now the living room only had Ruan Li, Shi Jue, and Xu Mo.

Fortunately, the sofa was large enough that the two Beastmen sitting on either side of Ruan Li did not feel cramped.

Shi Jue switched to his favorite channel.

Xu Mo snorted coldly at the melodramatic drama, "This is the kind of show that rots your brain."

"It’s still more interesting than the idiot dramas you love!" Shi Jue retorted.

Ruan Li, not understanding the severity of the situation, was confused at this moment.

"The Returning Beast Husband" tells the story of a male Beastman A who lost his superpower to protect a Female Head. Although the Female Head comforted him by promising to be with him for life, she fell in love with another Beastman B and abandoned A on a Deserted Star. Unexpectedly, A was a lost member of the Royal Family, taken back and successfully healed. At a banquet, he met the Female Head again. Regretting deeply, she sought reconciliation, but A refused. A, torn and tormented inside, became entangled with the Female Head, rekindling old and tortured love, ultimately ending up happily together.

After watching for half an hour, Ruan Li was embarrassed by the plot. She was shocked for half an hour, hesitated for half an hour, and finally suggested changing the TV drama.

Xu Mo immediately grabbed the remote control with a smug look and said, "Look at your lousy plot, no one can tolerate it."

He switched programs.

"The Descending Little Female" briefly described a cute little female traversing from the future to the Barbaric era. The Prince from the Barbaric era thought she was a Goddess. Attracted to each other, the female shared many modern novel ideas and little toys with the Prince, and they successfully ended up together.

Ruan Li instantly felt that, with her extensive experience in viewing dramas, she might become a famous screenwriter.

She found a pretext to go upstairs, and Shi Jue wanted to go upstairs when he saw her leaving.

Xu Mo leaned against the side of the sofa, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the two people who were almost sticking together.

"Ruan Li, I’ll go upstairs with you."

"Ah, okay."

Hearing the footsteps and voices getting fainter, the man on the sofa snorted coldly, "I wonder how long you can pretend."

The man, finding the TV volume a bit loud, turned it down a few notches. Seeing the female and male in the drama talking sweetly in love, his heart suddenly felt a bit restless.

"What a crappy show."

He turned off the projector, but when he went upstairs, he saw the two standing at Ruan Li’s door.

The fox’s ears twitched.

"Ruan Li, did you have fun today?"

"Hmm, it was alright."

"Well, that’s good. Tomorrow I’ll keep you company, where do you want to go?"

"Is there a place you want to go? I’m fine with anything."

"Ah... how about the mall?"

"No."

"Hmm? Then how about the park?"

"Okay."

"Hehe, then rest early, no need to wake up too early tomorrow."

Xu Mo’s hand gripping the doorknob had veins popping out.

Tsk tsk, got fooled just like that.

"Xu Mo, were you eavesdropping on us?" Shi Jue immediately asked when he saw the fox staying at the door, unsure if he should enter.

Xu Mo cast an indifferent glance at him, "Who would eavesdrop on you?"

After speaking, he swiftly opened and then quickly closed the door with a snap.

The night descended, and everything was serene.

In the peaceful city, the sky was suddenly shrouded in a dense red mist, accompanied by endless danger.

Ruan Li was jolted awake by the alarm from the Smart Brain on her wrist.

[Warning! Warning! An unknown red mist has appeared in the safety zone of Planet A. All male Beastmen must ensure the Female Head’s safety!]

Ruan Li rubbed her sleepy eyes and had not yet comprehended the alarm before she heard knocking at the door.

"Ruan Li, are you awake?"

Ruan Li was just about to respond, but the harsh sound of a shattering window interrupted everything.

Cold wind surged into the room through the broken window like turbulent waves, blowing the silk curtains almost entirely aloft.

Ruan Li squinted her eyes, barely able to distinguish everything ahead in the dark.

The dark night sky was enveloped by red mist, and that dense cluster of red mist rushed into the room with the wind through the broken window, almost ink-like in its thickness. As if consciously, it surged directly toward Ruan Li.

This happened too fast. Ruan Li didn’t even have time to call for help before instinctively raising her wrist, completely forgetting her mortal body.

The Beastmen outside reacted immediately, kicking the door open with a bang.

A shocking scene unfolded before them.

In a pink, cozy room, the frail girl in a thin nightgown with fluffy, adorable hair raised her slim, snow-white arm to block her face. The red mist, symbolizing endless danger, formed a dense, near-solid mass attacking the girl. However, it was completely blocked by her skinny arm.

The imagined destruction and injury didn’t occur. The gentle pink energy enveloped the girl, forming a protective shield around her, colliding with the red mist. The energy circle did not even ripple, gently yet firmly entirely encasing the girl in an absolutely safe domain.

"What is this?" Zhe Ye frowned deeply, asking in confusion.

"It’s her Healing Ability," Bai He said calmly and collectedly.

Only he knew in the depths of his heart just how astonishing this was.

There had never been a Female whose Healing Ability could solidify into a physical entity, providing proactive protection.

Moreover, the pink energy circle before them had already formed an absolute field.

Bai He had not detected Ruan Li’s presence.

Yet all the Beastmen could sense the threat within the red mist.

Hidden inside were even more dangerous Fierce Beasts.

They didn’t know why the Fierce Beasts could transform into mist, nor could they figure out how these Beasts managed to bypass the safety zone’s protection mechanisms and boldly intrude into the safety zone.

"Don’t worry about that now; ensuring the Female Head’s safety is the top priority!" Shi Jue growled, first to unleash his superpower to attack the red mist.

The red mist seemed agitated, attacking the Beastmen at the door.

This was an evolved Fierce Beast, formidable in its capability. Even with only two Fierce Beasts in the red mist, it wore down the four men in battle.

Ruan Li, seeing the danger dissipate and the red mist rush toward the Beastmen, looked blankly at her arm.

What was that pink thing just now?
