Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

However, he wasn’t born with a Sacred Body suited for cultivation. Even after she’d fed him countless medicines, he was still stuck as a Level Seven Beastman.

And now, his body could no longer withstand the nourishment from her medicines, so for the time being, he could only remain at this Level.

Jiang Wu could only pin her hopes on her other Beast Husbands, but unfortunately, they weren’t nearly as obedient as Ai Ci.

’But does he really think he can become my main husband just by being obedient?’

’How naive.’

’After all, I didn’t summon him to talk about feelings.’

’Come to think of it, Jin Tong’s body was perfect for using medicine to force an upgrade. If he had just been obedient, he might have already broken through to Level Ten by now!’

’Unfortunately, compared to Ai Ci, he was far from obedient. In fact, he was outrageously rebellious!’

’That was why, even though they were both Cat Beastmen, I chose Ai Ci as a Beast Husband at a glance.’

’A disobedient tool, no matter how good, is still just trash. Tonight, it would be best to let him die along with those other eyesores.’

Someone suddenly approached and said, "City Lord, Lin Shan is here. He says he has something to discuss with you."

Ai Ci frowned. "He’s coming at a time like this? He’s most likely here to ask for reinforcements! City Lord, you don’t need to bother with him!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Lin Shan forcefully barged in.

He looked at Jiang Wu and said coldly, "The Sect Leader sent me with a message for you. He said that once you’ve heard it, you’ll know exactly what to do."

Jiang Wu sneered. "What gives him the nerve to threaten me?"

"You must listen. Otherwise, what happened to him today will happen to you tomorrow. Or would you rather I tell all of your Beast Husbands your little secret?!"

"You’re courting death!" Ai Ci lunged forward, ready to strike Lin Shan.

But Jiang Wu’s expression turned cold. "Let him approach."

...

At that moment, down at the foot of the mountain, Xuan Wei and Xuan Qing were already leading a group straight toward the area where Cang Lan was likely being held.

The battle at the foot of the mountain was in full swing, and the two of them were the first to charge up into it.

Xuan Shuang turned to Xuan Qing and said, "You go find Miss Su first. I’ll go find Cang Lan!"

Xuan Qing nodded, then vanished into the night.

Su Mo dodged and weaved as she ran.

’The sounds of fighting are getting closer. Fei Yan and the others must be just ahead. I have to find them, and quickly!’

Su Mo kept her head down, moving forward cautiously, but she suddenly collided with a soldier who was searching the area!

The man screamed, "We found her! She’s here!"

Su Mo flung a handful of powder at him, then turned and bolted.

She could already see the people fighting Jin Tong—Mo Xiao and Fei Yan were right there among them!

Behind her, Jin Tong snatched a bow and arrow from a nearby guard and took aim at her fleeing figure.

SWISH—the sharp arrow sliced through the air, heading straight for Su Mo.

She was completely oblivious to the imminent danger.

"Watch out!"

A cold voice rang through the air.

Su Mo instinctively froze. A sharp TWANG exploded beside her ear. The peach wood hairpin in her hair snapped, and her silky black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Two arrows had collided in mid-air, their shafts shattering and falling to pieces at her feet.

Su Mo’s heart hammered in her chest. It was the first time she had felt the threat of death so near.

She looked up and saw Xuan Qing in the distance. Dressed in simple clothes, he held a bow in his hands, his expression tense as he watched her.

Just as she was about to move toward him, a strange, cold female voice rang out from behind her. "Su Mo, why don’t you turn around? Take a look at who I have with me."

Su Mo instinctively turned and looked. At a glance, she saw Cang Lan, trapped on a high platform in the distance.

He was covered in blood and looked utterly drained.

’He must have been captured the same night I was,’ she thought, instinctively clenching her fists.

Jiang Wu looked at her and chuckled. "Su Mo, if you don’t want your Beast Husband to die, you’ll come back obediently."

Little Nine said urgently, "Host! Don’t be impulsive! Calm down first!"

Atop the city wall, Jin Tong watched her figure with a heavy gaze.

’I’m not entirely confident that threatening her with this leopard’s life will work.’

’After all, creatures like females are mostly cold-hearted. In my past life, when I was shot down on the city walls, my dear wife hadn’t even batted an eye.’

’She had even told me with a placid expression, "To die for me is a blessing you’ve earned over three lifetimes. You should be on your knees thanking me."’

Even now, recalling that scene sent a bone-deep chill through Jin Tong’s eyes.

’If Su Mo runs now, this battle is mine to lose.’

’I don’t think she’ll give up this chance to escape for a single Beast Husband. After all, she’s a coward who clings to life, and a cunning one at that! How could she have any genuine feelings for anyone?’

’But if her other Beast Husbands could see for themselves what a cold-hearted person their beloved truly is, then even if she manages to escape, their relationship will be ruined. And then, I can always find another chance to strike at her in the future!’
