The Last True Female (Lexie) (by Sylvia Vance) novel Chapter 49

“What’s going on? William, can you beastify just your hand alone?” Lexie asked in disbelief.

William looked down at his clawed hand, then back at Lexie, scratching his head awkwardly. “Actually, I’m an Eagle beastman. We Eagles are born with such sharp claws and immense strength.”

“Not only that. I’m much stronger than my brother Tom. But this place is too small to stretch out properly, so I won’t demonstrate any more here.” He added.

Hearing this, Lexie quickly shook her head in refusal. “This is more than enough. William, you’re amazing. I never thought someone who looks so cute could be this powerful.”

“Really?” William’s face turned even redder at the compliment, looking more embarrassed than ever.

When Lexie saw William’s shy expression and cute boyish face, a thought crossed her mind, and she asked curiously. “William, how old are you?”

“807 years old. I just came of age not long ago.” William replied.

“What?” Lexie exclaimed in shock.

William tilted his head in confusion. “I’m 807. Is something wrong, Lex?”

Meeting William’s puzzled eyes, Lexie froze for a long moment before remembering that b lifespans.

had extremely long

They didn’t reach adulthood until they were 800 years old, and living for thousands of years was common for them.

If that were the case, then maybe she could also have an incredibly long life in this world.

Noticing the obvious longing on Lexie’s face, Arthur comforted her, “Lex, don’t worry. I’ve cured your illness completely. Your cell metabolism isn’t very high right now, but I guarantee that in less than three years, it will speed up dramatically.”

“The generation of new cells will make your life extremely long. By then, you’ll have a lifespan just like everyone else here. As long as you want it, I can grant you immortality,” he added earnestly.

Arthur’s serious tone made Lexie fall into a daze.

She knew full well that she wasn’t a native female of this world. That was precisely why she was immune to the Clyssia Virus plaguing this world.

But if she really gained immortality, she would be the only female left in the entire world.

At that point, she would live a long life, and the beastmen here were wealthy and handsome. If she got married, she might have to have a child every three years.

In that case, in a few hundred, a few thousand, or even ten thousand years, she would have countless children.

The thought of giving birth to a huge family made Lexie shudder involuntarily.

She couldn’t bear to imagine such a scene, so immortality didn’t seem all that great anymore.

Coming back to her senses, Lexie quickly said to Arthur, “Dr. Cole, I don’t want immortality. If I live that long, by the time I’m old, all my loved ones and my partner will be gone.”

She continued, “By then, I’ll be left all alone. I don’t want to die young or live too long.”

Chapter 49

Arthur smiled softly, “Lex, with my medical skills, if I can make you live a long life, I can certainly help the people around you do the same. By then, all your family and friends will stay with you. You’ll never be lonely.”

“Besides, any beastman lucky enough to be your partner will definitely be a chosen one of this world. As a chosen one, their power will be extraordinary, and their lifespan will be just as infinite as their strength.”

“That way, your partner can stay with you forever. You won’t have to fear loneliness.”

“Moreover, even if your partner does pass away someday, as the only female in the Aetherion Interstellar Zone, you’ll surely find a new partner soon enough.”

Lexie hesitated. “But…”

Seeing her hesitation, Arthur asked in confusion, “But what?”

Lexie’s voice dropped to a whisper, embarrassed to admit, “But I don’t want to have a bunch of children.”

Her words were so soft that Arthur had to lean closer to hear. “What did you say?”

“Nothing!” Lexie quickly changed the subject. “Anyway, William looks so young, and he just came of age. When I go to the military academy to study later, can you let William go with me as a classmate?”

“Of course. The reason I assigned William to protect you is so you’d have a companion at school. Since you like William so much, from now on, he’s yours. No one else can order him around except you.” Arthur said.

Turning to William, who looked completely stunned, Arthur’s tone turned extremely seriou on, you belong to Lex. You must protect her, be loyal to her, and give her everything, incl

Upon hearing Arthur’s words, William’s casual expression turned solemn at once.

iam, from this moment

r own life.”

He turned to Lexie and studied her carefully from head to toe, trying to find something special about her that warranted such devotion.

From the information he had, Lexie was a Mermaid rescued by Arthur, going by the alias Hill in public. As a Mermaid, she had the ability to cure gene diseases.

While Mermaids were rare, William couldn’t understand why he was being asked to lay down his life for her.

He served Arthur only because Arthur had saved the Hawk family from ruin. Otherwise, as the heir to the Hawk family, he would never have become someone’s bodyguard.

No matter how hard he looked, William couldn’t find anything extraordinary about Lexie.
