Transmigrated as a Rare Female: Beast Husbands Love Me Exclusively-Chapter 120: Bewitched by the Sultry Fox?

When Ruan Li finished washing up and changing clothes, she sat at the dining table with Xu Mo, acting intimately while they ate.

A flash of light crossed her mind.

"Oh no!"

With icy dark eyes, he scanned the petite female before him, who was making apologies timidly. His exceptionally handsome face displayed a faint, ambiguous smile, "You didn’t forget me on purpose, did you?"

Ruan Li’s heart tightened at Lu Mujie’s expression, "Second Brother, it’s all my fault. I intended to tell you, but..."

Lu Muyu saw the guilty little female unable to fabricate a flawless lie, and said with a cold smile, "But you were captivated by this seductive fox in an instant, indulging in wild fantasies, soaking in the great wilderness. At that time, were you really thinking of Second Brother?"

Ruan Li awkwardly lowered her head.

The words were crude but undeniably truthful, though they were indeed rather crude.

The little female was utterly ashamed, entirely unaware that the ’Second Brother’ she was referring to was only now slowly emerging from the pitch-black cave.

"Little Li, I thought you’d recognize me and Mu Yu." He chuckled lightly, the tear mole at the end of his eye blooming like a flower petal, vividly striking.

Ruan Li looked up and let out a sound, "Ah."

Lu Muyu occasionally wore monolithic gold-wire glasses, yet they couldn’t overshadow his wild demeanor.

On her way back, Ruan Li had been pondering a reasonable explanation, and upon meeting him, she apologized without looking carefully. It was only now that she looked up to recognize the person before her.

"Why is Lu Muyu here?"

"Am I not your brother when it comes to me?"

Ruan Li was just about to retort, saying he insisted she never calls him brother, but upon seeing him glance at her, the words of defense swallowed back down.

"...Third Brother..."

Seeing her reluctant address, Lu Muyu coldly sneered at heart.

"We’ve been searching for you all this while, only to find you here spending a world for two with a fox..."

Lu Mujie spoke coldly, "Alright, Mu Yu."

Lu Muyu didn’t finish but merely gave Ruan Li’s companion, Xu Mo, a hostile glance.

Lu Mujie said, "I left a message before coming to N Planet. Since Mu Yu couldn’t contact me, he came searching. Unexpectedly..."

He chuckled, not continuing, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

"Now that we’ve found you, let’s hurry back home. Mother is waiting anxiously." Lu Muyu said with arms crossed.

Ruan Li turned her head to Xu Mo, saw him nodding, and finally agreed.

The two brothers noted the small interactions between the two, with the coldness in their dark eyes increasing.

Unexpectedly, the way back was incredibly smooth.

She pulled Xu Mo into a small lounge, pressed him against the door, and asked, "Is there something else you haven’t told me?"

She squinted her eyes. Xu Mo had already decided not to deceive her anymore, so he spoke, "Do you believe in eternal life?"

Ruan Li was slightly taken aback, "Eternal life? That’s ridiculous, isn’t it?"

Xu Mo smiled, finding her assertive actions comforting. He leaned back against the door, holding her waist with one hand and slightly bending his knees to cradle her on his legs.

"The possibilities of technology are unimaginable."

"Though I never believed it before — how could life indefinitely extend? But I can’t deny it now; the world’s only successful case is right before me." Xu Mo looked at her, his gaze pure and clean.

"Me? How could that be..." Ruan Li instinctively denied it, as it nearly shattered her worldview.

"But I didn’t participate in any experiments of hers."

"No, you have been participating all along."

Ruan Ying carefully recalled, "Could it be that crisis on Star A?"

Xu Mo shook his head, expressing ignorance of the specific details, only occasionally hearing Ruan Ying disclose a few words, "What I do know is that the virtual illusion realm she simulated this time is crucial, but the precise reason is unknown to me."

Seeing Ruan Li deep in thought, he tightened his grip, "The Queen has been urging Ruan Ying for experimental results; she desires eternal life."

Ruan Li unknowingly frowned, "Ruan Ying conducting experiments on her own daughter?"

It’s preposterous, utterly absurd.

"That might be; but not all mothers love their children."

Anyway, she’s not her daughter, and she wouldn’t feel sad about it.

She just found it unfair for "Ruan Li."

Xu Mo could sense the little female’s gloom. He lightly patted her back; he hadn’t wanted to tell her this but couldn’t hide it either. At the core, he was still somewhat afraid of "divorce," even more worried if Ruan Li knew he had withheld information. Would she be angry again?

Anger wasn’t terrifying; what was was the hurtful words spoken out of anger.

The aircraft was about to land, with Lu Muyu’s expression growing more and more grim.

Their departure was too easy, and the return even easier...

Even if Ruan Ying intentionally helped them erase traces, it shouldn’t have been so smooth.

The aircraft swiftly entered S Star’s cloud layers, descending gradually.

Ruan Li gazed at thick, rapidly passing clouds through the glass, layer upon layer, like an endless abyss of deep color, bottomless and unseen ahead, resembling a giant beast’s gaping maw, waiting to devour ignorant life into its belly.

Xu Mo stood beside her, noticing her worried expression, and squeezed her hand, "Don’t worry."

After breaking through the clouds, looking down, one could embrace the whole view of S Star.

Black clouds pressed the city, fierce winds swept through the area, dust and foliage diminished visibility.

Even through thick glass, Ruan Li could still feel the cold oppressive atmosphere outside.

As they descended, massive piles of corpses and seas of blood could be seen outside the city, indistinguishable between Fierce Beasts and Beastmen.

"The Queen, standing at the apex of imperial power, is slaughtering the Empire’s beastmen like this..."

Ruan Li murmured.

Though her words were unfinished, Xu Mo understood her meaning.

"Though the Empire has a Royal Family and a Queen, the royal power has already declined. As the Smart Brain connects, the Empire’s Beastmen are influenced by the Federation and other nations, growing indifferent to the Royal Family, while military high officials such as Marshal Lu and Admiral Chu are more admired by those seeking power, further splitting royal authority.

The Queen having Ruan Ying research Fierce Beast evolution is very likely aiming to create a Fierce Beast army exclusively for her."

A cold voice chimed in.

Ruan Li turned to look at Lu Mujie.

Ruan Li was unaware of the tense stalemate in the seemingly harmonious Empire, but she wondered how such an advanced interstellar civilization could turn around and concentrate power?

Lu Mujie seemed to see her thoughts, his lips curled into a smile, "Authority, no one is ever satisfied with the authority they possess. The public seeks the authority of officers; officers seek the authority of admirals; admirals seek the authority of marshals. The Queen seeks authority, demanding all to submit and heed her.

Beyond authority lies life.

The wealthy lament life’s brevity; those in power likewise won’t relinquish their pursuit for higher wealth and power, nor face the loss of these lifelong pursuits in death."
