He Guang had specially introduced Yi Wu to Xuan Wei to discuss how to deal with the demon race.
“Yi Wu has a kind of spice that can increase a beast’s combat strength for a short time after it’s inhaled.”
Xuan Wei asked, “Can you show me the fragrance powder?”
He Guang glanced at Yi Wu.
Yi Wu took out a small hide bag and handed it to Xuan Wei.
Xuan Wei reached out to take it. Yi Wu’s fingertips accidentally brushed against the back of his hand, but because he was wearing metal gloves, that touch was nothing to him.
He took the hide bag as if he didn’t notice and pulled open the string in the pocket. He saw that it contained a small bag of pale pink powder.
A strange fragrance filled the air.
Xuan Wei immediately felt a wave of heat in his abdomen. His blood seemed to have been ignited, and he had a premonition that it was about to boil.
He immediately pulled the hide bag tight.
The strange fragrance gradually dissipated, and Xuan Wei suppressed the strange changes in his body.
This time, he finally stopped ignoring the female fox beast in front of him.
He stared at Yi Wu’s face and asked in a low voice, “Will there be any side effects after beasts use this powder?”
Yi Wu covered her mouth and chuckled. “There’ll indeed be a small side effect. It’ll make male beasts have the desire to mate for a short time. It’s commonly known as sexual arousal. This shouldn’t be a big problem for the male beasts.”
It was just sexual arousal. It was indeed not a big problem.
Xuan Wei put down the hide bag. “If the aftereffects are only that, then this plan is feasible.”
He Guang was very excited. “Since you said it’s feasible, it must be fine!”
Next, they discussed in detail how to use the power of the fragrance powder to deal with the demons.
Yi Wu occasionally offered her opinion. Most of the time, she maintained her obedient image and listened to the male beasts.
She knew very well that male beasts were naturally warlike. To them, war was sometimes more charming than females.
When the male beasts were ambitious, females just had to be quiet.
After discussing the plan to deal with the enemy, Xuan Wei turned around and left the tent.
Yi Wu leaned into He Guang’s arms, her eyes filled with love. “It’s cold here at night.”
He Guang ignored her hint and said gently, “I’ll get someone to send you more animal hides to keep you warm.”
“But I still think it’s the warmest around His Highness.”
He Guang just smiled but did not reply.
She had made it obvious, but he still refused to agree. Yi Wu felt embarrassed.
She wanted to leave, but when she thought of his identity and his bright future as a beast king, she couldn’t bear to give up. She could only grit her teeth and suppress the anger in her chest.
Yi Wu gently bit her lower lip. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said aggrievedly, “I followed you all the way to the Black River. Don’t you understand?”
He Guang raised her chin and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. He sighed sympathetically.
“Of course, I understand your intentions, but my most important task now is to defeat the demons and snatch back the invaded territory. Only then can I gain Father’s trust. As for the relationship between us, we can only put it aside for now. In the future, when I take that position, I’ll spread flowers all over the City of 10,000 Beasts and welcome you into the palace. How about that?”
His words moved Yi Wu.
Her greatest wish since her rebirth was to live in the palace of the City of 10,000 Beasts as a queen and become the most respected female in the world!
Yi Wu looked at He Guang pitifully. “Your Highness, you promised me this. You can’t go back on your word!”
“Of course. I swear I won’t lie to you.”
Yi Wu smiled through her tears and snuggled into his arms. “Can’t I sleep here tonight?” she asked coquettishly.
“I have something to do tonight and can’t take care of you. You should go back to your tent and sleep. I’ll take you to see the sunrise in the morning.”
Yi Wu agreed in disappointment. “Alright, I’ll go back first.”
He Guang called a beast soldier over to send Yi Wu back.
Yi Wu seemed to suddenly remember something. She looked at He Guang and asked gently, “If I help you win this time, will you agree to a request?”
He Guang smiled. “Go ahead.”
“I want someone’s life.”
“Whose life?”
Yi Wu said clearly, “Lin Huanhuan.”
He Guang thought of that beautiful face, and the smile on his face froze. He asked, “Do you have a grudge against her?”
“She humiliated me once. I swore to take revenge.”
He Guang thought for a moment. “She looks delicate and small. She doesn’t look like the kind of female who would bully others. Is there a misunderstanding between you and her?”
“It’s not a misunderstanding. I have a grudge against her. Even if I let her off today, she won’t let me off in the future. Instead of letting that happen, it’s better to strike first and kill her first.”
As she said the last sentence, her red lips curled up, and her beautiful face became even more beautiful.
He Guang remained silent.
Yi Wu approached him and drew circles with her fingers on his chest. She breathed, “I’ll help you fight the war, and you’ll help me take revenge. We’ll help each other. Isn’t that good?”
She clearly understood He Guang’s ambitions. When she mentioned fighting, He Guang quickly made a decision.
He took her delicate hand. “I promise to avenge you.”
Yi Wu laughed and leaned over to kiss his cheek. “Thank you, Your Highness,” she said happily.
After Yi Wu left, the tenderness on He Guang’s face immediately disappeared.
In its place was bone-deep indifference.
He Guang chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery. “Stupid female!”
The most annoying thing in life was smart*sses like her.
He Guang called his subordinates over. “Keep an eye on Yi Wu. Don’t let her leave the camp.”
“Alright!”
He Guang had grown up amidst conspiracies. He was used to seeing people change their minds easily. He also knew that one had to be hiding something.
When Yi Wu approached him, he sensed that something was wrong with the female, but given that she still had some use, he didn’t mind spending more effort playing with her.
As for marrying her?
It was simply a fantasy!
He would never accept a female who would do anything to become his bed partner.
Thinking of this, He Guang took out the veil that Huanhuan left behind.
In his mind, Huanhuan’s exquisite face appeared again.
It was just a glimpse, but it was unforgettable.
Compared to a scheming female like Yi Wu, he preferred a female like Huanhuan.
She was beautiful, cute, and innocent.
It made him want to keep her in captivity and protect her for the rest of her life.
He Guang tightened his grip on the veil.
For now, he would wait.
Once he sat in that position, he would have everything he wanted.
