Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 165: Li Chenlin’s Sudden Awakening (2)

Beneath the fury was a hint of barely perceptible fear.

It was the fear of his body being forcibly transformed into an unfamiliar structure, a sudden sense of panic and weightlessness that came from nowhere.

Yelias looked troubled. "I’m afraid it’s too late..."

"Limbs are already starting to hatch from your tail. You’re about to turn into a cute little rabbit."

"Don’t be so nervous. Susu will love you!"

Li Chenlin was so furious he wanted to unleash his spiritual power and destroy the entire ward. But his body felt drained of all strength. No matter what he tried, the spiritual power within him wouldn’t budge, refusing to obey his commands.

Lu Tingyan crossed his arms. "Alright, what’s the point of struggling? You’re becoming a rabbit. Not only will we not look down on you, we’ll even go easy on you from now on. You should be secretly thrilled."

Li Chenlin retreated in terror. "No... No..."

His slit pupils were bloodshot. "Get away! I don’t want to become a Rabbit Beastman! I don’t want to!"

Overwhelmed by emotion, Li Chenlin was seized by a fit of rage and passed out.

When he woke up again, he was lying on a bed with an IV needle still in the back of his hand.

Li Chenlin hastily ripped the needle out.

"Tsk." An annoyed sound came from nearby.

Li Chenlin whipped his head around warily, only then noticing Lu Tingyan working at a desk beside him.

He shot up, his pupils narrowing into slits as he released his spiritual power to enter his Beastification State. But his power was greatly diminished; it was nothing like it had been before.

His drastically reduced strength made him look like some kind of chimera—not soft and cute like a little rabbit, but also lacking the might and speed of a Snake Beastman.

His face went pale, and his glare at Lu Tingyan was so intense it could draw blood. "Lu Tingyan, I’ll kill you!"

Lu Tingyan set down the documents in his hands. "Is becoming a Rabbit Beastman really that hard to accept?"

Li Chenlin was furious. "Why don’t you try it?!"

Lu Tingyan said, "You seemed to handle it just fine when you were trying to turn Susu into a Snake Beastman."

"How is that the same?" Li Chenlin blurted out.

Lu Tingyan stared at him intently. "What’s different?"

Without a second thought, Li Chenlin said, "I was doing it for her own good!"

Lu Tingyan scoffed. "For her own good, or to satisfy your own selfish desires?"

He paused, watching Li Chenlin with a leisurely air. "Speaking of which, I’m doing this for your own good, too. Why aren’t you thanking me?"

Li Chenlin’s pupils contracted. He seemed to understand something.

Lu Tingyan didn’t twist the knife any further.

Li Chenlin had developed his current tyrannical and arbitrary personality because he grew up with a mentally disabled mother.

He was used to making every decision for his mother, as her intellectual disability left her without even the most basic judgment for many things.

As a result, he grew accustomed to doing things his own way, taking an aggressive stance to make decisions for his mother and keeping her protected behind him.

He extended this same approach to Bai Su, but it obviously didn’t work out very well.

Lu Tingyan continued, "Even a Level 9 male like you panics when faced with being transformed, having your habits altered, and your body internally changed. Have you ever considered how terrified Susu must have been?"

The room fell completely silent.

After what felt like a long time, Li Chenlin’s hoarse voice broke the silence. "Then what should I do...? Susu... she’ll never forgive me."

Lu Tingyan’s mouth twitched. "When you do something wrong, you apologize. Do I have to teach you such common sense? You really think I’m your father?"
