[005] The Stunning Male, Filled with a Sense of Brokenness
Zhi Lan stared at Li Yaoyao in shock, her face turning pale. She quickly dropped to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly.
“Second Princess, falsely accusing the Crown Princess is a capital offense!”
“I wish to serve you for a lifetime. Couldn’t someone else handle this matter instead?”
Even knowing she was doomed, Zhi Lan still tried to struggle, desperate to cling to life.
Li Yaoyao’s expression was cold and ruthless. She stared at Zhi Lan and said each word slowly and deliberately:
“Death, or completing this task properly—you choose!”
No one could resist or obstruct what she wanted to do. Otherwise… death!
Despair filled Zhi Lan’s eyes. She quickly lowered her head. “Second Princess, I will handle this matter properly.”
She rose swiftly and left with resolute determination.
Soon, rumors began circulating throughout the palace and the imperial capital.
They all claimed that Crown Princess Li Luoluo had been forcibly taking respectable males, brutally abusing them with extreme cruelty.
Most notably, she had taken Li Yaoyao’s beast husband, Bei Mingheng, only to abandon him later, driving him out of the palace, his fate unknown.
In no time, Li Luoluo’s infamous reputation spread throughout the Blue Star Empire—and rapidly across the entire galaxy.
Thus, when Li Luoluo slowly awoke, she found herself in the warm and spacious embrace of Bei Mingye.
As she gradually regained consciousness and learned of these shocking rumors, it felt as though her entire world had collapsed in an instant.
Before she could even think of a way to respond, a clamor arose outside the bedroom door.
Then, a cool, slightly mournful voice suddenly rang out:
“Your Highness, Crown Princess… now that you have a new lover, are you going to abandon me so heartlessly?”
As soon as the words fell, there was a resounding “BANG!” The previously closed door of Li Luoluo’s bedroom collapsed instantly.
At the same time, a male figure emanating an aura of brokenness—a stunningly handsome male—suddenly appeared before Li Luoluo, his gaze fixed directly on her.
In that moment, Li Luoluo felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, trembling uncontrollably.
Bei Mingye tried to shoo the intruder away, but unexpectedly, Li Luoluo moved quickly. She half-crouched before the breathtaking male, who radiated a sense of fragility, and with a casual gesture, lifted his chin with one hand.
“How could I?” she said.
“You’re so beautiful—how could I ever abandon you?”
She quickly searched the original owner’s memory and realized this was Hua Qingcheng, a beast husband gifted to her by the Silver Fox Clan, who had been abused so severely that no part of his body was unscathed.
Now, Hua Qingcheng had exhausted his spiritual energy. Kicking open Li Luoluo’s bedroom door, he could no longer maintain his human form. His body trembled as he revealed his beast form—a silver fox with ten tails.
However, his once-silver fur was stained with blood, a shocking sight.
The disgust in Hua Qingcheng’s eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a mysterious allure as his purple eyes shone. His Silver Fox Clan charms began to affect Li Luoluo.
“Luoluo!” Bei Mingye roared in fury and raised his hand to strike Hua Qingcheng.
But Li Luoluo, taking advantage of Bei Mingye’s strength, used a technique of “leveraging small force for great effect” to quickly lift the beast-formed Hua Qingcheng, avoiding Bei Mingye’s gaze, and applied healing magic.
In just a few breaths, Li Luoluo had successfully healed Hua Qingcheng’s wounds. He returned to human form, still in her arms, spinning slightly before finally being placed steadily on the ground.
Li Luoluo studied him carefully and was struck by his exquisitely sculpted features, radiating an irresistible charm.
Especially his fox-like eyes—when he gazed at you with deep affection, it felt as if he cherished your life itself.
And now, Hua Qingcheng was looking at Li Luoluo exactly that way, drawing her in irresistibly. The tenderness in his eyes made her feel as though her heart was melting.
“Your Highness! He deserves to die! How dare he use his charm on you! I’ll teach him a lesson!”
Bei Mingye could not tolerate seeing the Crown Princess he had bonded with now so completely enthralled by Hua Qingcheng.
He struck again, determined to show Hua Qingcheng the power of his snake clan.
At that moment, a dazzling light emanated from Bei Mingye.
His body transformed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he became a massive python!
Its enormous body, as big as a small mountain, stood there menacingly. Black scales shimmered with a cold light, inspiring fear in all who looked upon it.
Li Luoluo was dumbfounded by the sight, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
She stared blankly at Bei Mingye’s massive snake form, feeling deep regret.
She never imagined she would end up in such an intimate situation with a half-human, half-beast creature!
Now, she felt she must have gone mad, completely losing her rationality.
At the same time, she privately scolded herself for forgetting that Bei Mingye was a beastman.
A wave of despair washed over her, and tears welled up, though she struggled to hold them back.
Before she could recover from shock and regret, another unexpected event occurred—Hua Qingcheng, not far away, began to glow with an unusual light. In an instant, he transformed into a silver fox with ten tails!
His beautiful and mysterious form exuded a heartbeat-stopping aura, like a divine beast from ancient times descending into the world.
Especially his ten tails, swaying with the wind, exuding a sense of mystique and immense power.
Now, Hua Qingcheng and Bei Mingye stood facing each other, tension thick in the air.
Their gazes met, sparks seeming to fly between them.
The atmosphere grew heavy, suffocating with the intensity of their standoff.
Seeing a breathtaking battle about to erupt, Li Luoluo panicked.
She knew that if these two powerful beings clashed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not only could the surroundings face catastrophic destruction, but she herself might not survive.
Without hesitation, she rushed forward, trying to prevent the conflict…
“Can you two just calm down?! Stop causing me trouble! It’s just a bonding—nothing that serious! Listen, I’m taking you both!”
Li Luoluo placed her hands on her hips, glaring fiercely at the two before her, shouting with exasperation.
At that moment, the sound of heavy, urgent footsteps approached from afar.
