Xue Ling stared at her red and moist lips for a long time. In the end, he couldnât help but lower his head and suck on her mouth.
It tasted even sweeter and more delicious than he had imagined!
Xue Ling immediately became addicted.
Huanhuan struggled with all her might. Xue Ling grabbed her hands and pulled them above her head.
He licked the corner of her mouth, his blood-red eyes shining. âDonât worry, I wonât do anything to you. I just want to kiss you.â
âLet go of me!â Huanhuan was so angry that her eyes were red.
Xue Ling looked at her weak struggle and found her even more delicious.
His mouth went dry. He wished he could devour the little female.
Huanhuan was so frightened by him that she cried.
Tears fell down her face like beads from a broken string.
Xue Ling immediately stopped.
He stared blankly at her as tears streamed down her face. For no reason, he panicked. âDonât cry! I really donât plan to do anything to you. I just want to be close to you.â
Huanhuan ignored him. She was still crying.
Xue Ling quickly let go of her and wiped her tears with his sleeve. âAlright, I was wrong. I apologize. Stop crying.â
He had never spoken to anyone in such a low voice in his life.
If Shen Yan were present, he would definitely be shocked speechless by his gentle attitude.
How could this careful male beast in front of him still be the wilful Lord Xue Ling?!
Huanhuan dodged Xue Lingâs hand. âGo. Donât come again.â
Xue Ling looked at her tear-stained cheeks and couldnât help but say what was on his mind.
âI really like you.â
She slowly froze at his sudden confession. Her red eyes widened as she looked at him in surprise. âYouâre joking, right?â
He usually provoked her, and she never felt that he really liked her.
He only treated her as an interesting pet and teased her for no reason.
Xue Ling looked at her steadily.
Huanhuanâs scalp went numb from his gaze, and her heart became more and more confused. She asked hesitantly, âAre you serious?â
If he was serious, she had to reject him immediately and completely cut off any ideas he had toward her.
Three male beast mates were enough for her. With her small body, she could not afford a fourth mate.
Moreover, Xue Lingâs intention to kill Sang Ye had always been a knot in her heart. She could not accept him without any grudges.
Xue Ling suddenly chuckled. âI was joking. Donât tell me you took it seriously?â
Huanhuan immediately heaved a long sigh of relief. âI knew it. How could you really like me?â
Xue Ling lifted a strand of her long hair and smiled meaningfully. âDonât worry, I already have someone I like. I wonât really do anything to you.â
Huanhuan blinked. âCan I know who that is?â
Xue Ling smiled suggestively. âI canât tell you yet. If youâre willing to sleep with me, Iâll consider telling you.â
âThen forget it. Keep your secret. Donât ever tell me.â
âTsk, how boring!â
Huanhuan rolled her eyes.
She pushed Xue Ling away. âSince you already have a female you like, donât provoke me in the future. Otherwise, that female will misunderstand that you and I are having an affair.â
âCan I assume youâre jealous?â
âIâm thinking of you. What if that female misunderstands you and isnât willing to mate with you in the future? Youâd better respect yourself.â
However, Xue Ling said, âShe wonât take a fancy to me. It doesnât matter if thereâs a misunderstanding.â
âHuh? She doesnât even like you? Then her standards are quite high!â
Xue Ling looked at her meaningfully and smiled. âShe does have high standards.â
Huanhuanâs eyes became filled with sympathy. She patted his shoulder. âAll the best. Although youâre a little old, fortunately, youâve maintained your appearance well. From now on, keep exercising every day and take care of your health. You should still be able to win over your sweetheart.â
Xue Ling: ââ¦â
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
The beasts relied on the rock mountain to build a tall and mighty fortress. It was quite a spectacular sight from afar.
There were a total of 20 floors. There were 17 floors above ground and three floors below ground.
The mutated potatoes, bamboos, and creeper vines had also grown.
The potatoes were especially big and round. If anyone touched them, they would immediately smash toward them like missiles!
If one was hit, it would hurt for several days even if oneâs bones were not broken.
The bamboos were tall, thin, and green. They looked quite normal, but as soon as someone approached them, they would make a dolphin sound. It was a terrifying dolphin sound that could shatter oneâs eardrums.
The creeper vines were no better. The vines would sweep people up and hang them in midair. If those who were caught werenât obedient and struggled desperately, they would be mercilessly beaten by the creeper vines.
It took a lot of effort for the beasts to pick the potatoes.
Potatoes were a good thing. Not only could they last for a long time, but they could be cooked in different ways. For example, fried, roasted, boiled, stewed, sliced, mashed, and shreddedâ¦
In any case, they cooked it a hundred different ways every day.
Huanhuan tasted the mutated potatoes and felt that they were not bad, so she waved her hand and got 300 more seeds. She began to plant potatoes on a large scale at the foot of the mountain.
She also got some creeper vines seeds and bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots were planted beside the fruit forest. These bamboos grew slower, but they were delicious! Moreover, bamboos were very useful!
The creeper seeds were planted at the foot of the mountain. They grew quickly, and in just a few days, they had grown seven or eight meters along the fortress wall.
Dark green vines clung to the outside of the walls. Large green leaves layered over each other, covering the doors and windows of the fortress. They cleverly covered the shockingly huge building under the vines.
Anyone who didnât know better would think that this was a rock mountain filled with creepers. They wouldnât expect a huge fortress to be hidden inside.
Huanhuan felt that this was good.
This fortress was not at the level that this world could build at the moment. It would not be good for them to catch too much attention. It was better for them to keep a low profile so that others would not cause trouble for them again.
The top two floors of the fort were assigned to the birds.
The third underground floor was used as a warehouse.
The remaining 15 floors were divided into living areas, business areas, entertainment areas, and learning areas.
At the same time, System 438 suddenly released a notification.
