Chapter 277
The first snow of early winter was falling heavier and heavier, the snowstorm mixed with fine hailstones descending from the high sky, and the air currents at high altitudes became increasingly unstable, harsh and bleak.
Lu Xiao was worried that Shen Tang might get sick from the bumpy journey, so he asked Xiao Jin to carry her along the way.
The leopard beast was the fastest runner, and Xiao Jin was thrilled to have such a good job. He eagerly took Shen Tang and sprinted to the front of the troop, leaving the other beast husbands far behind, leading the main group onward.
Even Shen Li and the others followed suit, but unfortunately, they couldn’t match the speed of a leopard, and were left trailing not too far behind.
Shen Tang’s long hair and clothes were blown wildly by the cold wind, causing her to tie her hair up with a rubber band and lightly reprimand the leopard, “Slow down, you stinky leopard, Jia Lan and the others can’t keep up p>
Xiao Jin shook his head, shaking off the snowflakes, hiding that little possessive thought, and grunted lightly, “Didn’t you want to reach Kongdu City quickly to meet up with the people from the Imperial City? It’s not my fault they’re slow; I’ve waited for them several times on the way p>
Despite what he said, he slowed down and continued on.
Whenever Shen Tang was bored, her hands became a bit restless, occasionally rubbing the black panther’s palm-sized round leopard ears.
In the past, during missions, she only dared to sneak a touch, which made this dog man so angry he almost wanted to tear her apart. Now she could openly take advantage.
The furry leopard ears were extremely pleasant to touch, and they could flex into any arc in her palm, amazingly agile.
Xiao Jin’s ears itched uncontrollably; feeling the female’s playful actions, a surge of indescribable restlessness rose in his heart, even the winter snow couldn’t extinguish it. He almost wished he could transform into human form on the spot to pin her down and bully her fiercely.
Xiao Jin still had some sense of dignity; he didn’t want to expose his beast nature in public. He drooped his ears, pressing them against his head to stop her from playing, and threateningly gnashed his teeth, “Keep teasing me and I’ll throw you off p>
“You dare throw me off? I’ll get Shen Li to carry me and never speak to you again.” Shen Tang laughed, embraced his neck, and mischievously scratched his neck and chin with her soft fingers, “As for you~ in the future, you’ll be sent to guard the gate; don’t even think about getting inside p>
The warmth of her little hand scratching his chin was maddeningly comfortable, making Xiao Jin purr contentedly as he ran, like the engine of a king, vibrating Shen Tang’s entire body to numbness.
Having packed up last night and only slept half the night, Shen Tang felt a bit sleepy after caressing Xiao Jin for a while.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her head in his soft fur, took a deep breath, and murmured, “Stinky leopard, why do you smell nice today p>
Xiao Jin snorted through his nose, his pace even lighter, “Don’t listen to that stinky fox talking nonsense. What’s so good about his fox stink? I smell way better than him. In the future, when I carry you, you’re not allowed to go to him p>
He was inwardly delighted; he had purposely bought the most expensive scented body wash, fur care products, and lingering body lotion… even the finer things for cleaning, caring, and whitening he had bought it all, spending a full three hours washing last night to ensure every hair was smooth and soft.
This cheeky woman didn’t know how to appreciate him; if he dressed up, he’d absolutely be no worse than that stinky fox.
Once they return, he’ll definitely make sure she sees who’s the most charming male and captivate her completely!
Heavens know how difficult it’s been for Xiao Jin to endure these days.
After a long period of war, it’s precisely the time when the male’s restless period erupts, greatly longing for the female’s physical and mental comfort.
These days, Xiao Jin was nearly driven insane by his desire; tossing and turning every night, yet considering her feelings, he didn’t dare speak up and could only comfort himself privately.
He believes that the situation of those guys is no better than his.
Once back to the city, when the dust settles, he must strike first!
Of course, Shen Tang was unaware of the cheeky leopard’s schemes; half awake and half asleep on his back, she suddenly felt a bit of pressure in her stomach… she needed to pee.
Oh no, there really isn’t a bathroom on this mountain road, she’ll have to find a bush to solve it.
Her face slightly reddened, Shen Tang patted the leopard’s head, “Stop here for a bit, I… need to use the bathroom p>
Xiao Jin quickly stopped, looking around; not far away was a small grove, quite dense, with many weeds over half a person’s height growing.
He carried Shen Tang over and crouched low on the ground.
As Shen Tang leaned over to get off his back and was about to walk away, she noticed the leopard still standing firmly in place, eyes following her closely.
The black panther met her gaze and instinctively moved all four paws, wanting to follow.
Shen Tang sternly reprimanded, “Why are you following me p>
“In this deep mountain and forest, of course, I need to be with you. What if a venomous snake suddenly jumps out from the grass and something happens p>
“Where are there snakes in the dead of winter? You’re just making excuses, you rogue leopard!” Shen Tang pointed at him, blushing, “Turn around, run far away, and don’t peek p>
Xiao Jin, seeing the female’s shy look, raised an eyebrow unconcernedly, “What’s the big deal? We are companions, after all. Seeing isn’t anything, I can even lick p>
Before he could finish speaking, he was met with a fierce glare from the female, face turned black with anger, “Shut up, you pervert! Get lost now p>
This cheeky leopard really spoke boldly, thank goodness no one else heard.
Xiao Jin was inexplicably slapped and, feeling wronged, wagged his tail and watched as the female walked farther away; instinctively wanting to follow, he was sternly commanded, “Stay where you are, there, stay put and don’t move, don’t force me to hit you p>
Xiao Jin had no choice but to stop, drooping his ears, not daring to follow further.
Shen Tang scanned around, walked to a distant haystack, and once sure no one was around, removed her pants.
Xue Yinzhou, who was nearby watching, was also somewhat embarrassed to intrude on the female at such a private moment, with reddened ears, quietly moved away to avoid.
He came to a tree far off, watching the snow falling steadily from the sky, feeling the cold temperature, he closed his eyes as an unspeakable sense of fatigue arose within him p>
Although his current superpower was strong enough to resist the instinct of hibernation, he was still somewhat affected, his senses gradually dulling p>
Meanwhile, on the other side, just after Shen Tang finished her biological business and pulled up her pants to leave, the air behind her suddenly fluctuated.
A rift opened up like a black abyssal vortex, its terrifying suction instantly dragging her in.
“Ah p>
Shen Tang let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
No way?
She almost felt like cursing, having never expected to be targeted at such a time, let alone someone taking action then!
It was simply shameless! So perverted!
Upon hearing the familiar scream in the distance, Shen Li, Jia Lan, and Lu Xiao’s faces suddenly changed, dropping everything and rushing over swiftly.
“Tangtang p>
“Xiao Tang’er p>
But they were too far away, with no way to reach her in time.
Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou were the closest, but even they were a distance away. This time, Zaxxis, having learned from the past, didn’t give anyone time to react, directly seizing the female and pulling her into the space.
At the moment the space closed, a black figure shot in like lightning into the space rift.
It was so fast that no one could see clearly.
