Without wasting time, he followed the trail silently but deadly. Every tree he passed carried his scent, marking his anger as he moved. His sharp senses led him straight to the source.
And when he reached the place, the sight in front of him froze his blood.
On the ground, a female was struggling and crying weakly. The stench of fear and those crushed herbs filled the air.
And right above her, the same filthy owl beastman was pressing her down, trying to force something into her mouth.
The snake beastman’s eyes went cold as ice. His pupils thinned even more, turning into sharp slits of a feral beast.
That was the same scent. The same filthy scent from that night.
It was him.
The snake beastman’s hand clenched, his body radiating cold fury. The soft, handsome features on his face twisted slightly, and a dangerous air rolled off him like a wave.
Every tree nearby seemed to tremble slightly under his hidden aura.
When his gaze landed on the injured owl beastman, it was as if the world went silent. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
He didn’t need to think twice.
His voice came out deep and calm, but every word carried a deadly warning.
"What are you doing to a female?" he said coldly. "Release her... now."
His long black hair swayed in the wind, his pale skin glowing faintly in the sunlight filtering through the trees, but his eyes... those dark, snake-like eyes were filled with nothing but killing intent.
But the owl beastman, Luo Chen, only screeched back at him, puffing his body like some mad bird.
He even forgot about the female he had just been holding down. He threw her aside like garbage and faced Xuan Long with wild eyes.
Bai Lianhua hit the dirt and immediately crawled away like her life depended on it. She didn’t care where she was going; she just wanted to get far away from these mad beasts.
But Xuan Long didn’t even look at her. His eyes were locked on the owl beastman, his expression colder than frost.
This beastman is insane, he thought. First he kidnapped Su Qinglan, and now he’s targeting another female. He’s a real pest. Probably rotten to his bones.
He sighed quietly, already annoyed, his sharp eyes narrowing like slits. He didn’t even want to waste breath on such trash. But he would also not allow such a pest to breathe the same air as his female.
On the other hand, Luo Chen didn’t realize the danger. He was already mad at this bitch, and now suddenly a feral beastman came to provoke him. His already wounded ego would hurt more if he ran away from here.
And being the arrogant idiot he was, he thought he could actually fight him.
Luo Chen growled and spread his wings slightly, feathers shaking. "You think you can scare me, you stinky feral beastman?!" He hissed, puffing his chest even though his feathers were half-broken already.
Bai Lianhua, meanwhile, seeing the tall, pale, and cold Xuan Long standing there like a god, suddenly changed her plan.
She immediately crawled up from the ground while wiping her tears and ran toward him with shining eyes.
"Brother! Please save me!" She cried again, this time even softer, like she had forgotten about all the blood and dirt on her. She thought maybe if she looked helpless enough, this handsome beastman would pull her into his arms.
So she ran with all her might and arms out, ready to throw herself right into his strong embrace.
But Xuan Long didn’t even glance at her.
His cold eyes stayed fixed on the filthy owl beastman, who was now trying to circle him.
And just when Luo Chen jumped forward to attack, Xuan Long’s pupils flashed into sharp emerald slits, and in a blink, his whole form changed.
A massive green serpent burst out where the man stood.
