A few minutes later, the big tiger returned.
After transforming into human form, Si Lu noticed that his hair had grown a little longer.
"It really feels amazing; it's like being reborn!" the big tiger said with a grin.
Looking at his beloved little female, his eyes were full of admiration and deep affection.
He was truly touched.
Even though they hadn't become mates yet, she had already given him such precious water to drink and, even more, trusted him so much.
His heart felt even more devoted.
"Little Lu, don't worry, I won't keep this a secret, not even if I die. I'm now a Blue-tier warrior and can protect you even better. I'm really so happy," the big tiger said with tears in his eyes.
"Alright, alright, you're my beast husband now, and with you stronger, I'll be even safer. Mo also became a Blue-tier warrior, so both of you are Blue-tier now; that's really great," Si Lu said with a smile.
"What? You're also a Blue-tier, you damn deer; I thought I could surpass you, but, huh, huh!" Song Zhan suddenly looked a little displeased.
He had thought he would surpass Mo, but in the end, Mo had gotten ahead of him.
Well, it didn't matter since they were both there to protect Si Lu; he wouldn't mind.
"Heh heh, when my dad sees that my strength is on par with his, I bet he'll be shocked. I might even challenge him," Song Zhan thought to himself, immediately clenching his fist. His serious expression really stunned Si Lu!
This guy just got strong, and now he wants to fight his own dad?
This guy really is his dad's good son!
"One day, I'll be able to compete with my dad too," Cheng Mo said, also thinking of his father when he heard Song Zhan's words.
"You two are really your fathers' good sons, so filial," Si Lu said helplessly, looking at the two of them.
Why does it seem like both of them are always thinking about challenging their fathers?
"Little Lu, you misunderstood us. Actually, for male beastmen, our childhood goal is to defeat our father beasts; that's also a way to gain recognition. After all, only with a goal can we grow stronger and go further," Cheng Mo explained with a smile.
"My beast father is also Blue-tier, and he's the clan leader. I wonder if I can beat him; I'm really looking forward to it!" Cheng Mo said, his mouth curving up in anticipation.
"So, if we have cubs in the future, will they also see you as their goal and try to defeat you?" Si Lu asked.
She never expected that male beastmen on Beastman Continent thought like this!
"You're really smart, Little Lu; that's exactly it. Of course, defeating doesn't mean killing; it's just a challenge. You don't need to worry about that," Cheng Mo said, patting her head with a smile.
"Hmph, this is common knowledge among beastmen; why didn't you know, Little Lu?" Song Zhan said in confusion, though his eyes were not pleased as he looked at Cheng Mo.
Damn, once again, he's the one showing off.
"My tribe is too far away, and I've been too well protected, so I don't know about this stuff," Si Lu explained.
She wasn't a Beastman from Beastman Continent; how could she have known about this?
A little embarrassed inside.
"Alright, Little Lu, you can't tell any other beastman about your ability, understand? It will be very dangerous. Even though Song Zhan and I have leveled up, we still can't fully protect you. So, it's important to keep it a secret. Of course, I'll also keep an eye on strong and handsome beastmen for you and help you choose a mate!" Cheng Mo said.
Although he really wanted more of Little Lu's love, she was different from other females. She needed more protection.
He wanted Si Lu to be safer, not get hurt.
He loved seeing Si Lu so full of life and vitality, and he would always protect her.
"Actually, I..." Si Lu was about to say something when Cheng Mo gently placed a finger on her lips.
She blushed a little.
Alright!
She had a thing for looks, and she couldn't resist those who looked as good as them.
"Hmph, mate, Little Lu and I haven't officially become mates yet. Little Lu, tonight..." The big tiger said, looking at Si Lu with a somewhat pitiful, pleading gaze.
"Tonight, you two can become mates," Cheng Mo said, his eyes fixed on Si Lu.
Song Zhan knew their secret, and besides, he was already recognized as her mate, so it would be better to make it official soon, before this guy...
He understood that feeling.
"Mm, we'll become mates tonight," Si Lu said, feeling a little shy.
Ah, saying it in person was really embarrassing.
Although it was already agreed to happen tonight.
"Mm, Little Lu is so great. It's already dark; let's roast some fire, and when you're tired, we can rest," Song Zhan said excitedly. Finally, he also had a female beastman, so happy!
Seeing Song Zhan's excited face, Cheng Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes in disgust. Of course, most beastmen were like this.
Thankfully, he had already become Si Lu's mate.
Otherwise, he might also be acting this way, desperately impatient.
"Mm, let's roast fire first; I'm not sleepy yet!" Si Lu said, slightly lowering her head, feeling a bit shy.
This guy, his words were just too direct.
She felt shy; it was hard to respond to such directness.
No way, she was thin-skinned!
"Mm, whatever you say," the big tiger said, extremely happy.
He transformed back into his beast form, lying next to the fire. His orange fur was shiny and smooth, really beautiful!
Especially the "king" mark on top of his head, which stood out even more than before.
It seemed that after drinking the spirit water, their beast forms had changed a bit.
Though Cheng Mo hadn't noticed it yet.
Cheng Mo looked at the little female in his arms, visibly displeased as he glared at the annoying big tiger.
"Even in my arms, you're still looking at him. Is he really that handsome?" Cheng Mo muttered jealously.
He couldn't stand it. Even though he was about to become her mate, he was still a little jealous that she was looking at other beastmen.
"No, I was just noticing that his king mark looks more pronounced and his fur is much shinier. I didn't mean anything else," Si Lu said, panicking a little.
She didn't want her big deer to get jealous or upset.
"Really? Little Lu, I didn't notice; you're so observant. Let me come closer, and you can take a good look at me," said the big tiger, walking up to Si Lu and lowering his head, waiting for her to pet him.
Si Lu couldn't help but reach out and pat his head, making his fur even fluffier.
His fur was really so nice!
"Really, it's so much softer than before," Si Lu said in delight.
"As long as you like it," the big tiger said, his brown eyes sparkling.
"I really like it," Si Lu said happily, smiling.
"What about me?" Cheng Mo asked, squinting his eyes.
"Of course, I like you too! My big tiger, my big deer, both are mine," Si Lu said with a big smile, then kissed Cheng Mo on the forehead.
This guy, acting so jealous, was really cute!
She loved him so much!
"Next time, I'll show you my beast form to see if there are any changes," Cheng Mo said.
"Okay!" Si Lu nodded.
They chatted for a while, and soon Si Lu fell asleep.
Seeing the little female in his arms, Cheng Mo was reluctant to let go, but he handed her to Song Zhan.
Song Zhan, holding his precious female in his arms, was extremely gentle and full of affection.
Entering the cave, Song Zhan carefully placed Si Lu on the grass nest, which was covered with a beast skin, making it softer.
"Mm~. Mo, Zhan, we'll all be fine," Si Lu murmured in her sleep.
"Yes, we'll all be fine," Song Zhan said gently, carefully placing her on the beast skin.
Watching her sleep peacefully, he felt an overwhelming joy.
She was even more charming when she was so calm and quiet.
He leaned down and slowly moved closer to her soft, pink lips...
