CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 171: FORCIBLE SEIZURE_1

Hu Hui, holding the little female cub, turned his head in confusion. "Madam, what are you talking about? Are you overthinking this?"

Si Yan was a walking question mark. "?????"

Seeing that Si Yan really didn’t understand, Hu Hui came over holding the little female cub and whispered, "Madam, why must we absolutely form a bond?"

Si Yan now had even more question marks.

Hu Hui said, "Is it just because we need to reproduce? But why do we absolutely have to reproduce??"

"When we’re single, we can follow whoever we want, do whatever we like. But just look at the males after they’ve formed a bond—competing in a small courtyard, fighting every day, all for the sake of the position of Zheng Xiong, discarding all their dignity."

"Look at them, living so pitifully without even a smile."

Hu Hui had a very disdainful view of forming a bond.

However, he seemed worried that his words might hurt someone and quickly added, "Of course, I’m not talking about you and the Lord. The Lord likes you very much and is very willing to form a bond with you!"

Wang Liang glared fiercely at Hu Hui.

Hu Hui was scared to death and quickly hid to the side.

She Ying came over to add, "Madam, after forming a bond, the male’s life and strength are entirely in the hands of the female. I think, unless that male is a fool, he wouldn’t do such a thing."

"Isn’t being single great?"

The one insinuated as a fool, Wang, had an ugly expression.

It seemed Si Yan understood. The relationship between males and females in the Beast World is not equal. Females can contract with multiple males, and after the contract, they wield immense control. This is like an enhanced version of ancient human societies, only its unfairness is even more severe. Males have no status; their lives are worthless. They fight each other viciously for the smallest scrap of standing. Even jealousy is pointless, let alone expecting a female to be devoted. So, in the Beast World, low-ranked males might seek protection by marrying a Mistress, forming a large family to safeguard themselves. But the higher a male’s rank, the less willing he is to be subservient to a female. Males above the Red Crystal rank mostly have little interest in forming a bond. What’s not to love about being single? What’s not to love about a career?

She Chuan also said with a faint smile, "Madam, your presence can be said to have helped us, shielding us from a lot of female harassment."

"You guys get harassed?" Si Yan asked curiously.

All the males present heaved a long sigh.

"So much, too much."

"Annoying beyond endurance."

"Some females even go to the Witch Doctor to request bond-forming potions, and you can accidentally fall victim to them. It’s utterly exasperating."

Si Yan kept laughing. "This proves you guys are charming."

Upon hearing the word charm, a certain Beastman was clearly displeased.

He reached out and grabbed Si Yan’s hand. He squeezed it tightly, asserting his presence.

Naturally, Si Yan felt it. She turned her head to look at him, saw that he seemed a bit jealous, then squeezed back and smiled.

Wang, the great villain, felt terrifying to someone not familiar with him. After getting to know him, however, he seemed rather cute. Aside from being somewhat formidable, he seemed not to understand a lot of things; though clueless, he was willing to try. He rarely made promises, preferring to act directly.

Just as Si Yan was preparing to take advantage of the situation to cajole her own Great Demon King, she saw a somewhat chubby female blocking Hu Hui’s path.

Hu Hui had no choice but to stop. Being always slippery, he now managed to hold the little female cub in front of him.

The female in front of him glanced at the little female cub he was holding. Unsure if she was deliberately ignoring the signals he was giving off, she said, "Would you be willing to be my male? I’ll treat you well."

As soon as the female’s words landed, Si Yan and her companions instinctively stopped in their tracks and turned towards Hu Hui.

It had to be said that Hu Hui, after all, was of the Fox Clan, quite handsome in appearance. Plus, he was a Red Crystal Beastman... he looked ... quite nice.

And at this very moment, Hu Hui’s face turned red.

Damn it! He was following Madam and had even brought out the little cub as a shield. How could she not understand such an obvious hint?

Now he couldn’t verbally use Madam as a shield; otherwise, Lord Wang would immediately take his fox life!

After turning it over in his mind, Hu Hui very politely said, "I’m sorry, I’m not worthy of you."

"You’re not willing?" The female in front of him immediately changed her expression!

Si Yan witnessed a female changing her expression right there and was also taken aback.

Then, behind the female, six or seven tall males appeared, all looking menacing.

The female, with a cold face, pointed at Hu Hui and said, "Tie him up and take him back! I want to mate with him! I want him to be my male!"

"Yes, Mistress!"

With that, the six or seven tall males eyed Hu Hui predatorily as they approached him.

Hu Hui was scared to death and immediately turned back to his pack of scoundrelly friends. "Help me!!"

His pack of scoundrelly friends remained indifferent.

Hu Hui looked towards Si Yan, who was most likely to help him.

Si Yan looked left and right, sensing that Wang’s subordinate seemed a bit pitiful.

She asked Wang, "Aren’t you going to help him?"

Wang’s eyes were icy cold, as if Hu Hui’s matter had nothing to do with him.

"With just these few people, if he can’t handle them, then there’s no need for him to follow us," he said.

Si Yan: "..."

Thus, Si Yan joined the group of snakes and wolves, silently watching the drama unfold.

Hu Hui: "..."

The female opposite pointed at Hu Hui. "Are you sure you’re not willing?"

Seeing that there was no turning back, Hu Hui finally decided to throw caution to the wind. He pointed at the female and cursed, "Do you think I’m sick? I’m perfectly fine as a beast! Why on Earth would I need to form a bond and share a Mistress with a group of males? Do you think I’m stupid or some kind of saint who enjoys self-sacrifice??!!!"

The female: "..."

The female opposite nearly went mad. "Quick, tie him up! I knew he didn’t have a Mistress; all his props were just for pretense! These days, males are too good at disguising their unwillingness to bond!!!"

Then, Si Yan saw Hu Hui toss the little female cub to She Ying, followed by a frantic chase scene where escape seemed impossible.

She Ying, enjoying the spectacle, said, "So Madam, now you understand why none of us are willing to form a bond, right?"

She Chuan added, "Not bonding is true living; forming a bond is purely being dominated by one’s lower body—it’s simply sick... Of course, you and our Lord are exceptions."

She Chuan’s survival instincts were as strong as ever.

Honestly, Si Yan found the whole spectacle quite novel.

After all, in her previous life, whether in peaceful times or during the zombie era, it was mostly males pursuing females.

But here, in the Beast World, it seemed like females weren’t just ’pursuing’ males.

This, for crying out loud, was like a domineering CEO taking what they wanted by force...
