When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 39: Don’t Force Me

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sang Ye stared at her, his dark eyes as cold as ice.

“Don’t force me.”

If she was determined not to accept him, he would have to swallow her.

That way, they could be together forever.

Lin Huanhuan instinctively sensed danger. She couldn’t help but shrink her neck and ask softly, “Why do you like me? Just because I’m a female?”

Instead of answering, Sang Ye asked, “Is that important?”

“Of course, it’s important!” Lin Huanhuan gathered her courage to defend herself. “If you just want a female as a mate, I can take you back to the rock mountain. There are many young females there. You can choose any female you like as a mate. You don’t have to insist on having me.”

“No, I just want you.”

Lin Huanhuan was stunned and looked at him in confusion. “Why?”

“I like you.”

He liked her so much that the mere sight of her made him want to wrap his tail around her and never let her go.

Lin Huanhuan avoided his affectionate gaze and tried to convince him.

“It’s been less than three days since we knew each other. We don’t know each other well. Your feelings right now are just your natural possessiveness toward females as a male. You don’t really like me—”

“I like you!” Sang Ye interrupted her, frowning as if he was unhappy.

Why did this little female refuse to believe what he said?!

He’d seen a lot of females, but he’d never had the urge to mate with one. It was only when he saw her that he suddenly felt the urge to mate.

He just wanted her!

He had to have her!

Lin Huanhuan was defeated by his stubbornness.

Her shoulders slumped in resignation. “I really don’t know what it is about me that attracts you. I’m not exactly pretty, and I’m so weak. I don’t have any special skills that I can use. You shouldn’t be attracted to me.”

“You’re beautiful!” Sang Ye’s tone was firm.

Lin Huanhuan was stunned, then looked at him in disbelief. “Do you think I’m beautiful?”

“Yes, you’re the most beautiful female I’ve ever seen!”

In her 20 years of life, this was the first time someone had praised her for being beautiful in such a serious tone. She couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you.”

Looking at her cute smile, Sang Ye’s heart skipped a beat. He couldn’t help but stick out his snake tongue and lick her cheek.

Her face turned red from the licking. She wanted to retreat, but she realized that the stone wall was behind her.

She had nowhere else to go.

Why did this guy keep licking her?!

Sang Ye raised his hands and placed them by her ears, imprisoning her in his arms.

He bent his head and held her gaze. “Whatever your requirements are for a mate, I can meet them. Why can’t you give me a chance?”

The two of them were too close. Their breaths intertwined, and the atmosphere became ambiguous.

Lin Huanhuan’s heartbeat lost its rhythm. She lowered her eyes, her lashes fluttering uneasily. “You’re a good person. You deserve a better female…”

“Good person?” Sang Ye sneered. “I’m not a good person. If you reject me again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist sleeping with you now.

Lin Huanhuan shut her mouth in fear, not daring to speak again.

Sang Ye gently stroked her cheek. “Why don’t we make a deal?”

“W-What deal?”

“Give me ten days. If you fall in love with me within ten days, we’ll be mates. If I can’t make you fall in love with me, I’ll have no one to blame but myself for being useless. I’ll give up and send you home.”

Lin Huanhuan thought about it and felt that this deal would not result in a loss for her. It was just a waste of time.

Sang Ye was very capable. If she could get him to escort her back, she would definitely be able to return home safely.

After weighing her options, she nodded. “Sure.”

Sang Ye pecked her lightly on the mouth. “Then we have a deal.”

Lin Huanhuan blushed and said in a panic, “I have to add a condition. Without my permission, you can’t touch me, especially not with your mouth!”

He felt a little disappointed that he couldn’t touch her, but these were small things. He just had to endure it for ten days.

Sang Ye agreed. “Okay.”

“T-Then step back now.”

“Why?”

Lin Huanhuan’s voice was as soft as a mosquito. “You’re too close. I-I’m having difficulty breathing.”

Sang Ye looked at her flushed face and resisted the urge to stretch out his snake tongue and lick her again. He retreated bit by bit. “Is this okay?”

He stopped when she nodded. “Give me the meat.”

Lin Huanhuan obediently handed the roasted rabbit back to him.

“The meat’s getting cold. I’ll warm it up.”

Sang Ye put the rabbit meat on the fire and carefully roasted it again.

Lin Huanhuan watched his movements. He seemed to be fine, but if one looked closely, one could tell that he was actually very afraid of fire.

Every time he turned the skewered meat, he tried to stay away from the flames. His movements revealed his clumsiness.

Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but soften again.

If a person was willing to face their fear for another person, they must love that person dearly.

If she hadn’t mated, she might have seriously considered being with Sang Ye.

Unfortunately, they met too late.

…

On the rock mountain, Bai Di pushed past Jiu Yuan and insisted on going down the mountain to find Lin Huanhuan.

Jiu Yuan advised him. “She’s just a weak female who doesn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken. She must be dead after falling from such a high cliff. If you go down the mountain to look for her now, you’ll only find a corpse! Besides, Patriarch Shuang Yun had already brought people to search below the cliff. There was no trace of her at all!”

The man radiated ice. He was a different man from his usual gentle, thoughtful self.

“Even if she’s dead, I’ll bring her corpse back! I’ll never allow her body to be dumped in the wilderness!”

“But the mountain road has been sealed by snow, and the entire forest is covered in snow. Even if you manage to force your way down the mountain, you might not be able to find her. Why do you have to die for this?!”

Bai Di looked at him coldly. “If Mu Xiang was the one in trouble this time, would you stay in the cave and leave her alone, or would you risk your life to get her back?”

Jiu Yuan opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything.

They were all the same.

If something happened to Mu Xiang, he would be desperate to get her back too.

Bai Di’s tone was one of absolute determination. “I’m Huanhuan’s mate. I can feel it. She’s still alive. I have to get her back! If she’s dead, I’ll die too!”

Jiu Yuan could not persuade him. In desperation, he took out a flask of wine and gave it to him.

“It’s the kind of water that makes your body stay warm. You might need it, so bring it with you.”

“Thanks.” He shoved the wine into the hide pouch he always carried, then rushed out of the cave without looking back.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the blizzard.
