Chapter 174: You Bastard!

Huanhuan found it strange and asked, “How do you know about the bamboo bear?”

Ni Ya had only come to her house yesterday. Yesterday, Xue Ling returned to the feather tribe. She hadn’t seen him. He shouldn’t have seen Ni Ya.

Xue Ling said with a faint smile, “You didn’t go to class today. It was your new mate who helped you apply for leave from your students. Now, the entire tribe knows that you’ve found an underaged bamboo bear beast to be your mate.”

When he said the word ‘mate’, he emphasized the syllable and gritted his teeth.

Huanhuan felt a headache. “Why did that child take matters into his own hands? No, I have to look for him and explain this matter.”

No sooner had she spoken that Ni Ya returned.

He walked into the house on his short legs. The wolf pups followed him like a long string of furballs.

As soon as Huanhuan saw Ni Ya, she immediately got him to stand in front of her. She said sternly, “How could you tell outsiders that you’re my new mate?!”

Ni Ya was a little shy. “If people ask me about my relationship with you, I’ll have to tell them. Anyway, this is the truth. I’m not afraid of others knowing.”

Xue Ling narrowed his eyes, looking at Ni Ya with scrutiny.

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye were fine. After all, Huanhuan had met the three of them first. It was normal for Huanhuan to accept them first.

But what was with this bamboo bear?

Xue Ling sneered to himself.

This bamboo bear beast had clearly appeared later than him. His looks and strength were inferior to his. Why did Huanhuan accept this bamboo bear while he could only continue to be a bystander?

Xue Ling couldn’t take it anymore. He pushed Huanhuan into the kitchen and slammed the door.

When Huanhuan came back to her senses, she was already pressed against the door.

Xue Ling placed his hands on either side of her and looked down at her. His long blonde hair fell and brushed Huanhuan’s cheeks.

Huanhuan pushed him away. “What are you doing? Stop fooling around!”

Xue Ling’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Will you think I’m fooling around no matter what I do?”

Huanhuan felt that he was in a dangerous state. She instinctively avoided his gaze and pretended to be calm. “Why did you suddenly go crazy? Move aside. Don’t get so close to me.”

“I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead. I’m listening.”

Xue Ling approached her face and looked into her eyes. “Don’t accept that bamboo bear, okay?”

“Huh?”

“That bamboo bear beast is still underage. He’s just a child. He can’t take care of you at all. I’m much stronger than the others. If you become my mate, I can definitely protect you very well.”

He paused, his gaze filled with a kind of seriousness and nervousness that he’d never felt before. “Accept me, okay?”

Huanhuan froze in place.

After a long moment, she forced a smile. “Are you kidding me?”

Xue Ling: “…”

“You told me before that you already have someone you like, so what you said just now should be a joke, right? Hehe, this joke isn’t funny at all.”

“I’m not—”

“Let’s stop here,” Huanhuan interrupted. “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you just said. Go out. I have other things to do.”

Xue Ling looked at her steadily.

Huanhuan avoided his burning gaze. “I already have three mates. Three of them are enough. I don’t need a fourth.”

What a ruthless rejection!

Xue Ling suddenly laughed. “Why are you answering so seriously? I was just joking with you, but you actually believed me. You’re indeed a fool!”

Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and gritted her teeth in anger. “You bastard! You actually tricked me again!”

At the same time, she felt vaguely relieved.

Xue Ling smiled happily. “It’s your fault for being so gullible. I succeed every time I lie to you. It’s so fun.”

“Go away!” Huanhuan pushed him aside. “I’ve never seen such an annoying guy!”

Xue Ling leaned over again. “Do you hate me?”

“Yes, I hate you! Go away. I don’t want to see you now!” Huanhuan waved at him as if she was chasing away mosquitoes.

“Tsk, I’ve never seen a female who hates me as much as you do. You’ve successfully attracted my attention, little female~”

Huanhuan touched the goosebumps on her arms. “Can you not talk to me like a domineering CEO?”

“Domineering CEO?”

“He’s the kind of man in the legends who’s rich, handsome, tall, and has long legs. He’s especially good at flirting with women and making them bankrupt… Well, you can also say he’s a male beast.”

Although there were still some words he couldn’t quite understand, Xue Ling roughly guessed what she meant. He stroked his chin and asked thoughtfully, “Do you females like those domineering CEO male beasts?”

“Young girls like those types better. Females like me who are already married and have children prefer male beasts who know how to live properly. For example, males like Bai Di.”

He was good at cooking and other practical things. He was definitely one of the best men in the world!

Xue Ling narrowed his eyes. “You only mentioned Bai Di. Don’t you like Shuang Yun and Sang Ye?”

“I like them too. Shuang Yun is very cute, and Sang Ye is very lovable. I like them all!” She smiled until her eyes curved.

However, Xue Ling found this smile inexplicably dazzling.

“I’m leaving.”

He left without hesitation. He opened the door and walked out of the kitchen. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Huanhuan did not take the incident to heart.

She found herself something to eat. After filling her stomach, she got Ni Ya to come over and explained in detail that she could not be his mate.

Ni Ya still felt aggrieved, but he didn’t roll on the ground and acted shamelessly.

Huanhuan stroked his head. “You’re so cute. Many females will definitely like you in the future.”

In short, she just didn’t want him to pester her.

Ni Ya answered sullenly, “Oh.”

Xue Ling returned to the feather tribe in a rage.

When the beasts of the feather tribe saw him like this, they were all frightened and hid. They did not dare to appear in front of him lest they be implicated.

Xue Ling went straight back to his house.

He was alone in the house. At the thought that Huanhuan would rather accept an underaged bamboo bear than accept him, his anger surged.

Xue Ling took out a small mirror.

Ever since Huanhuan had given this mirror to Xue Ling, he had been carrying it with him. It was extremely precious.

When he saw it again, he felt like he was about to explode.

What an ungrateful female!

Xue Ling raised his hand and threw the mirror at the wall!

With a crack, the mirror shattered into several pieces.

Xue Ling froze.

He thought that this mirror was as sturdy as a crystal. He did not expect it to shatter with a casual fall.

Xue Ling panicked.

He hurried over and picked up the pieces of mirror that were scattered on the ground, trying to put them back together.

However, it was difficult to fix.
