Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Chapter 174

Lu Tingyan’s voice was faint as he offered a weak smile. "Silly girl, I’m fine. Just a little tired."

Bai Su’s heart ached for him all the more.

Lu Tingyan had always been a figure of omnipotence in her eyes—a master strategist, powerful and composed. When had he ever seemed so weak?

She cursed those old men for their incompetence under her breath as she wiped his neck and palms with alcohol to bring his temperature down.

Lu Tingyan said, "Susu, just hold me. If you hold me, it won’t hurt anymore."

Just as Bai Su leaned in to kiss his forehead, a firm grip seized her waist. The world spun, and in an instant, she was pinned to the bed.

She blinked in confusion, staring up at Lu Tingyan. His expression was grim—a complete transformation from the man he’d been moments ago. "?"

Lu Tingyan ground his teeth as he stared at her. "Susu, did you have fun at Yan Qingya’s bar?"

Bai Su met his ink-black gaze and belatedly realized the situation. ’This is bad,’ she thought. "It’s not..."

Lu Tingyan’s thumb brushed against her lips. "Let me think... It must be because I haven’t been satisfying my Susu. Is that why you went to order some boy toys, hmm?"

"Are they good-looking?"

"What kind of Beastmen are they?"

"Are they better than me?"

"Susu..."

Bai Su instinctively sensed danger, and her rabbit ears shot up, bristling with alarm.

She had never seen Lu Tingyan like this. He didn’t look overtly angry, yet he emanated an inexplicable and extreme sense of danger.

So this was how sharp and cutting his gaze could be.

For a moment, Bai Su felt as if she were transported back to their first meeting at the orphanage on the mountain peak.

Driven by pure survival instinct, Bai Su quickly threw her arms around his neck. "It’s not what you think! I can explain! I ordered those guys for Bi Yue! I didn’t touch them!"

"Mm-hm." Lu Tingyan simply listened, the Beastification markings on his body showing no sign of receding.

Bai Su’s heart hammered in her chest. "Lu... Lu Tingyan, the curtains... they aren’t drawn."

Lu Tingyan pushed her flailing hands back down. "Not a problem."

Bai Su: "!!" ’Someone will see!’

Lu Tingyan read the expression on her face, a dark glint passing through his eyes. "Is Susu afraid of being seen now? You seemed perfectly fine with a man on each arm back at the bar."

Bai Su was truly on the verge of tears. "It wasn’t like that! I didn’t have a man on each arm!"

Lu Tingyan asked, "You didn’t?"

Bai Su nodded frantically. "I really didn’t!"

Lu Tingyan’s body temperature kept rising, and the beastly markings spread further across his skin.

His body was growing larger...

Realization dawned, and Bai Su’s pupils contracted in terror. "Lu Tingyan... D-don’t do this... I’m scared..."

Golden beastly markings now covered Lu Tingyan’s face, giving him an air of primal wildness and savagery.

Bai Su couldn’t help but recall the time she’d visited him at military headquarters and watched him single-handedly win a tug-of-war against fifteen men.

The higher the Level, the more pronounced the disparity in power between tiers.

A Level 9 Beastman was significantly stronger than a Level 8 Beastman, not just in physical strength but in every other aspect as well.

’If he uses that strength on me, will I even survive?’

Without a second thought, Bai Su flipped over and scrambled toward the foot of the bed.

Lu Tingyan scoffed. His large hand shot out, accurately closing around her slender ankle. With a single tug, he pulled her back into his arms. "Running away? Did you think I was going to eat you?"

Bai Su cursed under her breath, staring at his frame, which had now grown to nearly two meters. "I really know I was wrong!"

Lu Tingyan extended a wolf-like claw, pinning her delicate hands above her head with one paw. "No, you don’t."

Bai Su burst into frightened tears. "Lu Tingyan, please don’t be like this! I’m scared... You know... I... I..."

"Yelias said Dutch Rabbits are very fragile! I can’t handle you like this..."

"I’ll die."

"I’ll get hurt, I’ll bleed, I’ll... I’ll pass out!"

Lu Tingyan flipped her over, slid a pillow under her stomach, and propped up her lower half.

Bai Su felt a scorching presence envelop her from behind and began to struggle violently, flailing her limbs in terror. "No, no!"

"Lu Tingyan, I was wrong!"

"SOB SOB SOB... I’m scared, don’t use this position!" ’Not being able to see anything makes it even more terrifying!’

Bai Su instinctively tried to trigger her Beastification to shrink her body.
