Chapter 5…

Getting Carsick Enough to End Up in the Beast World

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Ye lazily yawned.

Han Zheng saw it and a smile overflowed from his eyes as he spoke gently,

“If you’re sleepy, then go to sleep first. We have a long future ahead of us. Whatever you want to hear, I’ll slowly tell you.”

Su Ye nodded lightly. Staying up late only worked when there was a phone to scroll through. Without a phone, the nights really were sleepy.

As drowsiness washed over her, Su Ye couldn’t understand why, but she kept feeling uneasy inside, as though something was constantly urging her to make a trip to the Black Tiger Tribe.

The feeling hadn’t been very strong during the day. She had assumed it was just lingering emotions from the original owner of this body and deliberately ignored it.

But now the feeling was becoming stronger and stronger.

After thinking about it, Su Ye figured she was going there sooner or later anyway. Whether she went early or late made no difference.

So she said to Han Zheng, who was preparing to put out the fire,

“I want to go back to the Black Tiger Tribe.”

The moment the words left her mouth, it felt as though her heart had received some kind of promise. That uncomfortable feeling immediately eased.

Now Su Ye was certain.

She absolutely had to make a trip to the Black Tiger Tribe.

Han Zheng raised a hand and waved it.

A fierce burst of cold air instantly swept out. The dancing flames froze into tiny ice crystals, and the surroundings sank completely into darkness.

At that moment, Su Ye suddenly felt her body become weightless and nearly cried out in surprise.

Han Zheng had lifted her into a princess carry and gently placed her onto a soft, dry pile of grass.

“Alright. We’ll go tomorrow. Sleep.”

Being suddenly lifted into the air had startled Su Ye a little, but Han Zheng was only trying to help, so she couldn’t really complain.

Thinking of what she had just witnessed, she looked at him excitedly.

“Han Zheng, your abilities are way too powerful, aren’t they? Didn’t you say before that you awakened both ice and spatial abilities?”

Snake beastmen had excellent night vision.

Seeing the excitement shining in Su Ye’s eyes, Han Zheng chuckled softly and affectionately rubbed her head.

“Yes.”

“Then does your spatial ability let you store lots of things?”

Su Ye instantly became interested, her eyes full of curiosity.

“It does.”

Han Zheng patiently explained,

“Whatever state an item is in when it enters the space, it remains in that exact state when taken out. It stays permanently fresh and never spoils. And the size of the space expands as the beastman’s rank increases.”

Su Ye was overjoyed.

This ability was completely overpowered!

It was a hundred times better than a modern refrigerator!

“Go to sleep now, my Female Lord.”

Han Zheng looked at the excited little female in his arms, his eyes filled with gentle warmth.

“Mhm.”

Su Ye obediently responded and soon drifted into a deep sleep.

The next morning, dawn had only just begun to break.

Su Ye stretched comfortably.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Han Zheng sitting nearby.

In his hands was a large leaf filled with clean water.

His gaze was gentle, and he was smiling at her.

“You’re awake? Yesterday must have exhausted you, A Ye. Wash up first.”

Su Ye stared in shock.

Han Zheng’s handsome face was smiling at her.

He had prepared water.

Prepared breakfast.

And was waiting for her to wake up?

People actually did things like this?

This—this—this!

Someone tell my mom!

I’m not a loser anymore!

My life is finally getting better!

Being taken care of by a handsome guy like this…

Can a corporate workhorse like me really deserve this?

After washing up and finishing the breakfast Han Zheng had prepared, Su Ye turned toward him.

“I need to go back to the Black Tiger Tribe. Do you… want to come with me?”

Han Zheng smiled gently and answered without hesitation,

“I’ll accompany you.”

“Alright.”

Their eyes met.

No more words were needed.

A silent understanding had already begun to grow between them.

Walking would take too long, so Han Zheng suggested transforming into his beast form and carrying her there.

Su Ye immediately agreed.

She definitely had no interest in training like a special forces soldier.

Thus, for the first time in her life, Su Ye rode atop the head of a giant black snake.

At the same time, in the Black Tiger Tribe…

The moment Qiu Ying returned to the tribe, she rushed straight to Clan Leader Cang Yan’s cave.

The instant she entered, she began crying and complaining.

“Father! You have no idea how excessive Su Ye has been!

All these days that she disappeared, I searched everywhere day and night because I was worried she was in danger!

But she wasn’t missing at all!

She secretly ran away from the tribe and privately became mates with some wandering beastman whose origins are unknown!

I kindly advised her to return to the tribe, but instead of appreciating it, she acted unreasonably and even encouraged her beast husband to injure my mate!

Waaah!”

Cang Yan had only this one female cub as a descendant.

His female mate was often away from home, so he treasured Qiu Ying more than his own life.

The moment he heard that his precious daughter had been bullied, his heart ached.

“This is outrageous!

I never thought Su Ye would be such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!

Back then, if your mother hadn’t been kind-hearted and pitied her for being young and helpless, bringing her back to the tribe…

If we hadn’t shared prey with her and protected her…

She would probably have died long ago!

Who would’ve thought we’d end up raising an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!

Don’t worry. When she returns, Father will definitely seek justice for you!”

A trace of viciousness flashed through Qiu Ying’s eyes.

Pretending to be serious, she said,

“Father, she’s already mated.

And that beast husband of hers is probably a rare eighth-rank snake beastman.”

“What?”

Cang Yan was stunned.

It was hard to imagine.

A wandering beastman without the resources or protection of a tribe had actually reached such a high rank.

Qiu Ying curled her lips into a sinister smile.

“Father, in a few days, it will be the Beast God Sacrificial Ceremony, won’t it?”

Cang Yan was confused and nodded.

Qiu Ying’s expression darkened.

Word by word, she said,

“In previous years, we always hunted mutated beasts from the Mist Forest as sacrifices.

Su Ye once told me that this year she was willing to offer herself as a sacrifice and accompany the Beast God, using her own fortune to bless the Black Tiger Tribe.”

Cang Yan’s mouth twitched violently.

Anyone with half a brain knew Qiu Ying was talking nonsense.

What beastman would willingly become a sacrifice?

“A Ying, absolutely not!

Using a female as a sacrifice is completely unacceptable!

The worship of the Beast God is one of the tribe’s most important affairs. You can’t fool around with it.

Besides, your mother—”

The moment her mother was mentioned, Qiu Ying instantly lost control.

“Don’t mention her!

She doesn’t deserve to be my mother!

Whenever she goes traveling, she never takes me with her. She leaves me here all alone.

And every time she comes back, she only goes to see Su Ye!”

Watching his daughter explode in anger, Cang Yan cried internally.

My bold little cub!

How dare you interrupt your great father while he’s speaking!

Yet when he actually spoke, his voice became gentle and patient.

“Cub, you’ve misunderstood your mother.

Traveling is the duty of a high-ranking witch doctor. She doesn’t take you because she’s worried about your safety.

As for Su Ye, your mother only pities her.

Her father and mother are both gone.

Seeing how thin and weak she was, your mother simply checked on her health whenever she returned.”

Qiu Ying couldn’t listen to a single word.

She only stared at him and coldly demanded,

“Father, are you going to help me or not?”

Cang Yan helplessly turned his head away.

“I can’t help you, cub.”

“Good. Very good.”

Qiu Ying suddenly let out two crazed laughs.

A chilling coldness filled her eyes as she turned and stormed away.

Meanwhile, Cang Yan covered his eyes and burst into tears.

“It’s over! It’s over!

My perfectly good female cub has gone bad!

Waaah!

I need to tell A Yue as soon as possible!”

After leaving the cave, Qiu Ying coldly instructed her beast husband, Li Rong,

“Go. Bring Feng Ling, Xiao Ai, and the others to my cave.”

Li Rong immediately set off.

Then Qiu Ying summoned another beast husband and ordered him to make a trip to the outskirts of the tribe.

Watching him leave, the corners of her lips rose.

Su Ye was nothing more than a helpless orphan.

She refused to believe her father would really punish her.

Meanwhile, Su Ye and Han Zheng were still traveling.

The giant snake was certainly comfortable to ride.

But Su Ye got carsick.

And now there was a new problem.

She got snake-sick too!

The dizziness and nausea stacked together.

Wave after wave of queasiness became increasingly frequent.

Han Zheng immediately sensed the discomfort of the female on his back.

He instantly slowed down and came to an abrupt stop.

That sudden brake was the last straw.

Su Ye bent over and began vomiting violently.

Everything she had eaten that morning came up.

Her stomach churned violently.

Han Zheng had never seen anything like this before.

Beastmen simply didn’t understand the suffering of motion sickness!

He immediately panicked.

His snake brain completely crashed.

Transforming back into human form, he supported Su Ye, anxiety filling his heart.

While vomiting, Su Ye couldn’t stop complaining in her mind.

Ridiculous!

I’ve already transmigrated!

Why do I still get carsick?!

I ******!

The nausea gradually subsided.

Her stomach was completely empty now, leaving only a sour ache behind.

Beside her, Han Zheng was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He tightly gripped her wrist.

“A Ye! How are you?

I’ll take you to a nearby witch doctor right away. Just hold on a little longer!”

As he spoke, he moved to pick her up.

“Don’t carry me! Put me down!”

Su Ye hurriedly stopped him.

Big brother, please stop shaking me!

“I’m fine. It’s just that the ride was too bumpy and made me dizzy.

Don’t move me anymore or I’m going to throw up again.”

Han Zheng instantly froze and didn’t dare move.

Seeing how nervous and helpless he looked, Su Ye couldn’t help laughing despite herself.

Han Zheng repeatedly asked with concern,

“Are you really alright?”

Su Ye smiled weakly and looked at him seriously before nodding.

“Don’t worry. I’m really fine.”

That’s right.

I’m not dead yet!

Su Ye thought to herself.
