"Yaoyao, can you buy out my contract? I’m willing to be your Beast Husband and serve you for the rest of my life to repay you."

Lucia looked at Su Yaoyao with a sincere expression. ’I have to follow a female anyway,’ he thought. ’It’s better to be with Yaoyao than be exploited by Doris.’

"This..." Su Yaoyao’s mind went blank. She never expected Lucia to make such a sudden request. For a moment, a storm of emotions churned within her, and she didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing Su Yaoyao hesitate, Lucia immediately put on a pitiful, tearful expression. He said miserably, "I know you already have Beast Husbands. I won’t compete with them. Just let me be your personal servant. I don’t need a title; I just want to be by your side, Yaoyao."

Su Yaoyao was soft-hearted by nature and couldn’t bear to see him looking so pathetic. After a moment of inner conflict, she finally agreed. "I’ll figure out a way to pay for your contract. But you don’t have to pledge your life to me in return. Beastmen should be able to live their own lives."

Su Yaoyao said in a fluster. ’Lucia is undeniably gorgeous, and his body is absolutely perfect,’ she thought, ’but I already have several Beast Husbands at home. If I bring Lucia into the mix, my husbands will probably get insanely jealous again.’

For some reason, a flicker of disappointment welled up in Lucia’s heart when he heard this.

’She won’t let me be her Beast Husband. Could it be that my charm doesn’t measure up to her other husbands?’

Lucia’s mind couldn’t help but recall the man who had come with Yaoyao.

’Even though he was wearing a mask, his figure was impressive. But I’m confident that my own beauty is top-tier. How could I fail to catch the eye of the top-ranking patron? Have I not completely captured her heart yet?’ The more Lucia thought about it, the more unwilling he was to accept it.

In that instant, a captivating, seductive look swirled in Lucia’s golden eyes. They seemed to hold endless mystery and temptation. Su Yaoyao was mesmerized, her gaze drawn in as if she couldn’t pull away.

Lucia bent down slightly, gently cupped Su Yaoyao’s face with both hands, and slowly leaned in. His breath was warm and ragged as it washed over her cheeks.

Then, his lips gently covered hers, the movement soft yet tinged with a hint of urgency.

Su Yaoyao instinctively tried to pull back, but her body felt as if it were under a spell, unable to move.

The moment their lips met and their saliva mingled, Lucia felt a jolt of electricity shoot through his entire body. He trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes flew wide open.

He was astonished to discover that the calming ability in Su Yaoyao’s saliva alone was incredibly potent. The power was like an invisible thread tugging at his soul, making him uncontrollably want to give her more comfort, to connect with her more deeply.

Lucia’s kiss grew more feverish. His tongue gently pried open her pearly teeth, plunging deep inside to sweep wantonly through her mouth as if exploring an unknown treasure.

He sucked at her lips as if trying to draw all of her essence into his own body.

Kissed until she was breathless, Su Yaoyao subconsciously tried to push Lucia away, but he held her tightly. His powerful arms were like iron clamps, making it impossible for her to break free.

Su Yaoyao’s legs grew weak, and she nearly collapsed, able to remain standing only by leaning against Lucia’s body.

As for Lucia, the kiss had thoroughly aroused his desire.

He was shocked to find himself getting aroused—an experience he had never had before.

Just a single kiss from this little female had produced such a strong physiological reaction in him. It only made him more fascinated with Su Yaoyao.

Finally, Lucia slowly released Su Yaoyao. He was panting slightly, his eyes filled with passion and confusion. He couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly is your rank?"

Su Yaoyao’s face was crimson as she gasped for air, her gaze dazed and frantic. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Lucia’s question sobered her up a little, but her mind was still in turmoil, and she had no idea how to answer.

She had never imagined things would escalate like this. The unexpected kiss had thrown all her thoughts into disarray.

"I..." Su Yaoyao started to speak but then stopped abruptly. She really didn’t know how to explain her rank to Lucia.

After all, her status as an interstellar saintess was far too unique.

Lucia stared intently at Su Yaoyao, his eyes full of curiosity and a searching look. He spoke again, his voice low and bewitching, "Yaoyao, don’t be afraid. I’m just too curious. Everything about you is like a mystery that draws me in. Your spiritual power is so immense; you’re nothing like an ordinary female."

Su Yaoyao lowered her head slightly, avoiding Lucia’s fiery gaze as she secretly mulled over how to handle the situation.

Just then, Augustine’s impatient voice came from outside the room like a sledgehammer, shattering the intimate atmosphere. "What’s taking so long?" His voice was laced with clear displeasure, as if containing a barely suppressed rage.

Lucia let out a deep, helpless sigh. A trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he still slowly let go of Su Yaoyao.

He quickly composed himself, his trademark smile returning to his face, though this time it looked a bit forced.

"It seems your Beast Husband is getting impatient, Yaoyao. Remember to visit me in my stream room often." He deliberately drew out his words, a subtle hint in his tone.

As if waking from a dream, Su Yaoyao felt her face flush. She frantically straightened her slightly disheveled clothes.

She gave a hurried nod, so flustered she didn’t even dare to look Lucia in the eye. Clutching the Nine-tailed Red Fox doll tightly, she scurried out of the room like a startled fawn.

Augustine had been waiting right outside the room. Seeing Su Yaoyao emerge, he immediately started walking toward her.

As he strode up to her, his gaze fell on the doll in her arms, and his eyes flashed with displeasure.

He took Su Yaoyao’s hand and said, "Let’s go." His tone held a faint trace of jealousy.

As Augustine pulled her away, Su Yaoyao’s heart was still in a flutter over the intimate scene in the room just now.

She stole a glance at Augustine and saw that his expression was a little dark. His lips were pressed into a thin line; he was clearly upset.

Su Yaoyao couldn’t help but feel a little guilty, but she also found Augustine’s sulking to be kind of cute, as if she were looking at a pouting child.

She gently squeezed Augustine’s hand, her voice soft and coaxing. "Your Majesty, let’s go home."

Augustine looked down at Su Yaoyao and saw the pleading look in her eyes, like a docile little animal begging for forgiveness.

His jealousy instantly dissipated somewhat. He sighed helplessly, his tone softening a little. "Next time, you’re not allowed to be alone with another man for that long." His gaze held not just lingering jealousy, but also worry and care for her.

Su Yaoyao nodded obediently. "Okay, I know."

Hand in hand, the two of them slowly walked out of the signing event.

Lucia watched the direction Su Yaoyao had gone, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

His interest in Su Yaoyao had grown even stronger.

The corner of his mouth curved into a confident, bewitching arc as he murmured to himself, "Interesting. We will definitely meet again."
