Yelias couldn’t care about anything else; his first priority was to soothe her. "What’s wrong, Susu? Who made you angry? What happened?"
"It’s not good for a little rabbit to get so angry..."
Bai Su’s face was cold as she glared at him. "Did Grandpa pass away?"
Yelias froze for a moment. He parted his lips but said nothing.
That was a tacit admission.
Bai Su was furious. "Why didn’t you tell me? When did it happen?"
Yelias pursed his lips, his expression gradually turning serious. "How did you find out?"
"I went to the Medical Alliance," Bai Su said. "Luo’an told me."
Yelias fell even more silent.
Bai Su continued, "So if I hadn’t found out, were you planning to hide this from me forever?"
"Of course not. I’ve been looking for a chance to tell you..."
"We’ve been together for so long. You’ve had countless opportunities to tell me, but you never said a word."
"You even used Grandpa’s name to talk to me."
"Was it fun to lie to me?"
"I’m sorry, Susu..."
Bai Su snorted coldly. "Since you’ve admitted it, it seems Luo’an wasn’t wrong about you. You can reflect on this yourself."
She raised her hand, punched Yelias, and turned to leave the laboratory.
Inside the lab, Li Yue and two old men poked their heads out.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... What a powerful punch. I think I heard a bone crack."
"Serves him right. Who told him to lie to Bai Su of all people? He’s lucky they’re already officially partnered and he has his status, otherwise he’d really be in for it."
Yelias hung his head, his face full of dejection.
He knew this day would come. The longer he dragged it out, the more trouble it would cause.
At times, he really was too indecisive.
He’d had so many good opportunities to confess, but he’d either forgotten or hesitated, unwilling to shatter the peaceful moments they had.
The worst-case scenario was Bai Su finding out from someone else.
The very thing he wanted to avoid most had just happened.
He would have preferred it if, after finding out, she had cursed him, hit him, and started a huge, emotional fight.
Anything would have been better than this—confirming the truth, turning her back, and leaving without another word.
Yelias pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew he was in deep trouble.
After leaving the Lanton Research Room, Bai Su saw Wen Xiaobao playing with someone on the street corner.
"Little Treasure?" she called out tentatively.
Wen Xiaobao turned her head at the sound of her voice.
At the mouth of the alley, the person playing with her—the one with the cat tail—suddenly retracted it warily and vanished.
Bai Su hadn’t thought much of it at first, but seeing the person retreat and hide made her suspicious.
She walked over and took Wen Xiaobao’s hand. "Who were you playing with over here?"
Wen Xiaobao smiled sweetly. "A big kitty!"
"A big kitty?" Bai Su echoed.
’Was that a Cat Beastman just now?’
’But as far as I can remember, there aren’t any Cat Beastmen in the Imperial City.’
She warily picked up Wen Xiaobao, carried her back to the crowd, and shot a look at Kong Ji.
Kong Ji nodded and led his men into the alley.
Bai Su brought Wen Xiaobao back to the car before asking softly, "Who is this Cat Beastman? A friend of yours?"
Wen Xiaobao nodded. "Yup."
"Can you tell me about your friend, then? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Cat Beastman before. I’m a little curious."
Wen Xiaobao said, "He just got here. He’s a very shy, handsome big brother."
"A handsome big brother, huh..." Bai Su narrowed her eyes.
’All the more reason to be careful.’
She continued to ask, "Mommy hasn’t met this friend of yours before. When did you two meet?"
Wen Xiaobao blinked her big eyes. "It was that time you asked me to bring you some barbecue. I met him on the way."
On this expedition, she would not only reclaim the people from the Medical Alliance but also seize those two Level 10 Beast Husbands!
That way, Mr. and Mrs. Qin wouldn’t be so angry at her for losing that damned Cat Beastman.
Besides, according to the butler’s tracking, the Cat Beastman had very likely headed in the direction of Snow Country as well...
Maybe Bai Su had taken a liking to him and was holding him captive.
She had to go and rescue him!
Helicopters were deployed. The flight from Qin City to Snow Country would only take a few hours.
「Meanwhile.」
Lu Tingyan was training his troops in front of the city wall.
Under his command, the ferocious beasts were coordinating with the soldiers to form various offensive and defensive formations.
Empowered by the beast language, Lu Tingyan’s communication with the ferocious beasts had become much simpler.
There were many ferocious beasts in the city. To ensure every soldier could be paired with a beast for combat, he had developed a set of simple hand signals.
He conveyed these hand signals to the beasts, allowing the soldiers to then use the signals to command them and fight side-by-side.
This method was highly effective, and the past two days of training had yielded excellent results.
Lu Tingyan sat on the back of a giant eagle, using hand signals to have the formations shift into different positions.
The coordination between the soldiers and beasts below had already become quite proficient.
They just lacked a suitable opponent to practice on and test their results.
Not far away, Yodel approached on his own giant eagle. "Chief."
Lu Tingyan glanced at him. "Speak."
"We’ve detected a military force approaching from fifteen kilometers to the southeast. They seem to be heading for us. Should we send the beasts to intercept?"
Lu Tingyan raised an eyebrow. "How many?"
"Roughly twenty to thirty thousand."
"No need to intercept. Let them come."
’This must be a gift from the Beast God.’
’Ask, and you shall receive.’
