Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Arguing with Li Chenlin

Lu Tingyan thoughtfully left the room to the two of them.

Li Chenlin hadn’t seen Bai Su in a long time. Being alone in a room with her, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

She had changed a lot, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on how.

This change was especially obvious when looking at her up close.

The changes a Level increase brought to a female were immense, not just physically, but also in their spiritual power.

Li Chenlin had longed for her for a long time. He had always been a proud man, and this was the first time he had secretly liked someone, guarding them from the shadows for so long.

He had never felt so humbled.

Bai Su pursed her lips and was the first to break the awkward silence. "Lu Tingyan told me you’ve been helping with all of this. Thank you."

It was the first time Li Chenlin had ever done such a good deed, and the first time he had been thanked for it.

Before, he was always the one holding a gun to someone’s head, doing bloody, violent work that couldn’t see the light of day.

And no one ever thanked him for it.

Li Chenlin cleared his throat, a bit uncomfortable. "I’m just in a mutually beneficial arrangement with Lu Tingyan. I help him, and he facilitates my business in the Snow Country."

Bai Su breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, I see. That’s good, then."

She didn’t have a particularly favorable impression of Li Chenlin, and their last parting had been unpleasant.

So, she didn’t want to be indebted to him.

Nor did she want to have too much to do with him.

Sensing her thoughts, Li Chenlin’s expression immediately darkened. "What do you mean by that? Are you afraid I’ll use this to take credit and cling to you?"

Bai Su froze for a moment. "No, I just don’t want to owe—"

But Li Chenlin’s face had already turned grim. He strode over and grabbed her wrist. "You don’t want to owe me a favor? You’re that afraid of being involved with me?"

A sharp pain shot through Bai Su’s wrist, and her brow furrowed slightly. "Let go!"

Far from letting go, Li Chenlin tightened his grip when he saw her furrowed brow. "What? They can touch you, but I can’t? When they help you, you’re moved to tears with gratitude, but when I help you, you’re disgusted?"

He had come full of joy and sincerity, hoping to make up with her, only to have her attitude pour a basin of cold water on him.

’This woman, Bai Su, is heartless. She has absolutely no intention of making up with me.’

’I’ve helped her so much. What’s with that relieved attitude, like she’s terrified of having anything to do with me?’

Bai Su restrained herself and looked at him. "That’s not what I mean. Let me go first."

Remembering he was here today to communicate properly with her, Li Chenlin took a step back and released her hand.

The two fell silent for a moment once more.

Li Chenlin took a deep breath and looked at her. "I know it was my fault for abducting you without a word before, but you got your revenge for that later."

"So, now I want a chance to start over. That’s fair, isn’t it?"

Bai Su was taken aback. "A chance to start over?"

Li Chenlin sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning closer to her. "You need someone by your side to protect you, don’t you? And it just so happens I don’t have a female yet."

"Let me be your First Beast Husband, and we’ll start over. I can even accept that you have other males around you..."

"The Medical Alliance has you in their sights. Your life won’t be peaceful from now on."

"I have my people within the Southern Country. Plus, the environment there is hot and humid, and the poisonous miasma of the Snake Beastmen is not something ordinary people can overcome."

"If you come with me to the Southern Country, you’ll be much safer than staying in the Snow Country."

"And you won’t have to worry about the Medical Alliance targeting your birthing sac anymore..."

The more Bai Su listened, the more wrong this sounded. She raised a hand to cut him off. "When did I ever say I was going to the Southern Country with you? When did I agree to let you be my First Beast Husband?"

Li Chenlin narrowed his eyes. "You still don’t intend to make up with me?"

Bai Su could hardly keep up with his train of thought. "What does this have to do with making up? Even if we did, we’d at most just be people who know each other."

Hearing this, Li Chenlin’s expression soured. "I’m doing this for your own good. This isn’t the time for you to be stubborn and throw a tantrum."

Bai Su stared at him in disbelief. "I’m being stubborn and throwing a tantrum?"

Li Chenlin: "Did you not hear a single word I just said? The Medical Alliance has targeted you!"

"Do you have any idea what kind of organization the Medical Alliance is? They’re infamous internationally. Several countries, even working with the International Alliance, are helpless against them. You think the Snow Country alone can protect you?"
