The breeze gently passed by, carrying waves of floral fragrance.

The anticipated pain did not come; instead, she felt a warm, solid chest that gave her a sense of comfort.

Su Qingluo slowly opened her eyes, and in that moment, everything around her seemed to slow down infinitely.

The gentle breeze carried the soft whispers of trees and grasses past her ears, while pale pink peach blossom petals fell like fragmented snow, brushing past her hair and nose tip.

The scent of peach blossoms lingered in the air, carrying a chilly, jade-like freshness mixed with an alluring charm, enveloping her senses.

That was the unique scent of Cui Liyi.

Su Qingluo realized something, and her entire body stiffened.

She had never been in such close contact with Cui Liyi before, not even having touched his sleeve.

The most she experienced was the gentle breeze stirred up when he walked by, allowing her to catch a whiff of his scent.

Her gaze slowly moved upward, meeting a pair of eyes as cold as jade, with slightly upturned ends and a trace of indiscernible laziness.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the petals, casting a soft halo on his face, making it stunningly breathtaking.

In that instant, Su Qingluo felt her heart being lightly grasped by something, skipping a beat, and then racing uncontrollably, even making her breath slightly irregular.

The breeze continued to blow, petals continued to fall, the floral scent intertwining with his scent, making it feel like it was just the two of them in the world, with even the startling panic washed away by this sudden feeling.

"What, haven’t had enough of looking?"

Cui Liyi suddenly spoke, bringing Su Qingluo back to her senses, and she hurriedly struggled to get away from him.

Cui Liyi’s movements were gentle as he released her.

Then he slowly reached out his hand.

As Cui Liyi approached, Su Qingluo instinctively avoided his hand.

This was a complete reflex reaction.

Cui Liyi’s hand paused, and he just looked down at Su Qingluo.

Su Qingluo always felt that his gaze was too intimidating.

"What’s wrong, are you afraid of me?"

Su Qingluo’s mouth twitched, "No, not at all."

She quickly adjusted her expression, looking up at him with a sincere look in her eyes.

It was uncertain whether Cui Liyi believed her or not.

He lazily smiled, both enchanting and aloof, as he reached up to play with a strand of Su Qingluo’s hair.

He leaned closer, whispering alluringly in her ear, "Didn’t you say you liked me?"

"Is this how you like someone?"

"Su Qingluo, your behavior makes me think you’re just like those fickle females, only interested in my body, or perhaps, not even interested in my heart."

"Don’t think I don’t know, you females bet among yourselves on who could win my love or my heart."

"Even if you can’t get my heart, you aim to have my body, right?"

Listening to these words by her ear, his breath brushing past her ear, causing a slight ticklish feeling.

Especially, his scent was so strange, making her feel weak in the legs.

She wanted to dodge but couldn’t.

Because if she avoided it, he would doubt her intentions.

She did indeed approach him with a purpose at first.

He had no emotions, so naturally, she also had to control her own heart and not let herself fall for him.

But sometimes, she couldn’t help being amazed by his appearance.

The male in the Beast World were all exceedingly beautiful, and especially his beauty was unparalleled, bewitching in a way that was hard for her simple experiences to withstand.

Seeing Su Qingluo’s current timid expression, Cui Liyi sneered, then stood up, looking down at her as he reached over to remove leaves and petals from her hair. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He then placed them in front of Su Qingluo, saying, "What did you think I was going to do?"

"Nothing, I just thought you wouldn’t want me to approach you, afraid of upsetting you."

Cui Liyi laughed at this, leaving Su Qingluo at a loss for words.

She felt even she didn’t believe that reason, it was hard to keep it up.

Because Cui Liyi himself was exceptionally intelligent, almost to the point of being monstrous.

According to the rules of the Beast World, females marry husbands, although he was male, there were countless females willing to give up a whole forest just to marry into his family.

But Cui Liyi’s character was inherently rebellious.

Probably because his true form was that of a Chaos Wild Beastman.

Xiao Xing said he was the leader of the Fierce Beastmen, but he had not yet fully awakened to his inherited memory and power.

She needed to conquer him before he fully awakened.

"Su Qingluo, is your liking true or false?"

"So when you say things like that, I don’t believe a word."

After speaking, Cui Liyi directly crushed the leaves and petals into ashes with his hand, then swung his sleeves and left.

Su Qingluo stood in place, feeling a bit vexed.

She lightly stomped her foot, "Xiao Xing, what should I do, he’s angry, it was hard for his attitude to soften, and now it’s difficult to conquer him again."

Xiao Xing was silent for a moment before saying, "Master, to conquer his heart, perhaps you need to fall for him first, otherwise he won’t believe it, and he won’t fall for you either."

"Only if you truly convince yourself that you’ve developed true feelings for him, will he believe it. True feelings touch true feelings."

"Simply conquering won’t work, otherwise, with so many females trying to win his favor, would it work? No, it doesn’t."

Su Qingluo listened to Xiao Xing’s words in her mind, remaining silent.

She didn’t want to fall for Cui Liyi, because deep down, she believed that a Chaos Wild Beastman capable of destroying the world has no feelings or heart.

But she really wanted to save her brother.

Only by successfully completing the task could she save her brother.

She herself didn’t matter, after all.

"Master, it really is like this."

"See, despite doing so much for him, saying how much you like him, he doesn’t believe it at all."

"When you look at him, there’s no emotion or love in your eyes, even if you act sincere, your eyes can’t fool him, even if he doesn’t understand emotions, he can see it."

Xiao Xing initially didn’t want its master to fall for him, but wasn’t there no other choice now?

"To save the entire Beast World, surely there are loved ones you care about here too."

Su Qingluo came to this world, and here she had a brother who cherished her and treated her well, just like her brother from her previous life.

And her father beast, her father beast was kind and weak, insignificant among the Su Family Master’s many beast husbands and not well-liked, but he was good to her.

She wanted the Beast World to survive, for them to live on.

Su Qingluo spoke softly, "I understand now."

"Let me think it over carefully."

Xiao Xing sensed Su Qingluo’s low spirits and spoke softly to console her, "Master, once Cui Liyi falls for someone, he will be kind to you. At least with his appearance, he is supremely and dazzlingly beautiful."

Su Qingluo knew his appearance, character, and family background were all excellent, but he was the leader of the Fierce Beasts, a Chaos Wild Beastman.

Once awakened, he would destroy the world.

Moreover, his everyday demeanor was so cold and unfeeling; she needed to convince herself.

When Su Qingluo returned home and saw her father beast and brother, she managed to convince herself.

Once she convinced herself, she stopped constantly reminding herself not to get emotionally involved, allowing herself to naturally interact with Cui Liyi, enticing when enticed, dazzled when dazzled by his appearance, without forcing herself to remain rational at every moment.

She earnestly remembered his likes, no longer doing things half-heartedly, even picking up her embroidery skills from her previous life to make clothes for Cui Liyi herself.
