Beast World: The Crazy Female Is Chased by Five Beast Husbands - Chapter 32

Jun Mo said irritably, “This prince is perfectly fine. There’s no need for you to worry.”

“Today’s incident was indeed my oversight as your elder brother.”

“I apologize.”

Jun Mo’s final “I apologize” was uttered stiffly.

It was clear he wasn’t entirely willing.

But so what?

Li Xuanyue didn’t care.

As long as her people received the respect and apology they deserved, that was enough.

“Alright, it’s getting late.”

Li Xuanyue understood the principle of knowing when to stop.

Since the other party had already apologized to Jun He, there was no need for her to press further.

Especially since he was, after all, a prince of the serpent clan.

She had only demanded an apology because he was in the wrong.

Now that the matter was settled, there was no reason for them to linger in the peach grove any longer.

“If the Second Prince has no further business, you may retire for the night.”

She also needed to take Jun He away quickly.

“Farewell!”

The moment Jun Mo turned around, his face darkened completely.

All that remained in his eyes was a bloodthirsty killing intent.

“Cough, cough!”

Once the man had completely disappeared, Jun He finally couldn’t hold back and coughed up bl00d in front of Li Xuanyue.

This startled her.

“Come, I’ll take you to the imperial physician immediately.”

Jun He didn’t refuse. In his current state, he truly needed a thorough examination.

Jun Mo had shown him no mercy earlier.

On top of that, all twelve of his meridians were sealed, leaving him with no strength to protect himself.

It was possible that these injuries would soon plunge him back into a state of heat.

–

It was said that serpents were inherently lustful, and the spring season was already a time when all creatures entered heat.

Yet Jun He had forcibly restrained himself back then.

Until three months ago, when he was drugged and his true nature surfaced again.

At that time, he could have continued to endure through sheer willpower, but with his meridians sealed and his magic suppressed, he had no way to resist the effects of the drug.

However, nothing had happened between him and Li Xuanyue in the palace that day.

This time was different. His body was already weakened from having his meridians sealed and his magic suppressed, and now he had been severely injured by Jun Mo.

The heat came upon him like a raging tide.

Even Physician Liu nearly lost control trying to restrain him.

“Princess and Lord Jun.”

The hesitant tone was unmistakable to Li Xuanyue.

Her delicate face flushed abruptly. “Physician Liu, could this cause him harm?”

Li Xuanyue could also see that Jun He’s heat this time was unusual.

Last time, it had been induced by drugs, and he had managed to resist through sheer willpower.

But this time, Physician Liu had discovered that his magic was sealed and he was severely injured. The prolonged suppression of his desires had caused this heat to burst forth like a flood.

If not relieved in time, the consequences were unthinkable.

Jun He might descend into madness from the heat, or even lose his life.

Physician Liu sighed helplessly before shaking his head at Li Xuanyue.

The implication was obvious. Li Xuanyue understood perfectly.

“Very well, you may leave now.”

Li Xuanyue issued the order solemnly.

Since there was no better solution at hand, she would have to ask Jun He for his own opinion first.

At this moment, Jun He, tormented by desire, still clung to the last shred of his rationality.

But his vision had long been blurred by lust.

His mind screamed incessantly that he needed a woman.

As Li Xuanyue drew closer, his bl00d boiled with increasing intensity, his half-human, half-serpent body growing hotter and more feverish.

In his dazed state, he vaguely heard Li Xuanyue ask, “How are you feeling?”

Yet Jun He responded by reaching out with a pale hand, gripping her tightly.

Li Xuanyue glanced down at his fingers wrapped around her wrist. “You must be in great pain,” she murmured softly. “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for a woman to be sent to you immediately.”

Whether it was her words that struck a nerve or the flames of desire had already stripped him of reason, the moment she finished speaking, he yanked her onto his body.

His scalding serpentine form burned like a furnace, as if threatening to melt her.

Li Xuanyue stiffened in shock, only snapping back to her senses when she felt the searing heat beneath her.

Her hands pressed firmly against Jun He’s chest as she stared down at him with a complicated gaze.

“Do you know what you’re doing?”

Her voice was eerily calm, devoid of any panic or confusion.

Their eyes locked.

For a fleeting moment, clarity returned to Jun He’s clouded gaze.

“Does the princess not wish to?”

His pale neck arched suddenly, his head pressing insistently against her shoulder.

Hot breaths and ragged gasps fanned against her ear, sending tingling waves through her body, as if bitten by ants, leaving her weak and pliant.

Li Xuanyue’s body seemed to respond to his allure, growing feverish alongside his.

A blush spread across her cheeks, the kind that bloomed when a woman was teased by a man. Her lashes fluttered, her parted lips unable to form a reply before his mouth captured hers.

The pounding of her heart and the sound of their mingled breaths roared like drums in her ears.

Yet the man, lost in desire, only sought to take more from her—to soothe the fire raging within him.

And so, he grew even bolder.

–

The next day, in the Zhonghe Palace.

Li Feng learned from her subordinates that Li Xuanyue had spent the night in Jun He’s chambers. Instantly, her face lit up with delight.

Good!

Truly, her daughter did not disappoint.

Li Feng nodded inwardly in approval.

To think she had used this method to silence all the doubters.

At this rate, the Phoenix Clan would soon welcome a little royal heir.

However, just as Li Feng happily raised her wine cup, someone voiced a question.

“Huh? Where is Princess Xuanyue? Why haven’t we seen her today?”

The speaker was Yu Sheng, the eldest son of the Fish Clan’s elder.

He appeared young, around the same age as Yu Mian.

His large eyes held an air of innocence, and his voice carried a childlike naivety like a neighbor’s boy who hadn’t yet awakened to worldly matters.

Even the elegant moon-white robes he wore couldn’t conceal his guileless nature.

Yu Sheng’s question was one that everyone present wanted to ask.

All eyes turned to Li Feng.

Only Jun Mo, seated at the very edge, remained indifferent, showing no interest in the matter.

He knew exactly how heavy handed he had been the night before.

Jun He’s absence was only to be expected.

But what he never expected was that even Princess Xuanyue didn’t show up with them.

I must say, Junhe really knows how to latch onto powerful people what a piece of trash.
