Meizhou's heart was beating beyond his control. It was almost unbearable but instead of fear, he feels relaxed instead. As if something inside him had slightly loosen up and that something extremely precious had returned to him. He had no explanation for it. It's just that the changes in Xuebao that day gave him a familiar feeling. As if something went out of his control, he couldn't endure seeing Xuebao be touched by someone else.
The Xuebao who stopped him and confessed to him out of nowhere and the Xuebao who suddenly beat up Laohu that day seems different in his eyes. They are supposed to be the same person but different in the same way. Only he knew that the Xuebao from before is not acting like the one before them. The eyes of that former Xuebao, who used to stalk him, stares at him with eyes full of desire and lust for his body and that is all. It only made him feel disgusting and rejected him to end things right.
But the Xuebao after the confession is different. There is hidden anger for unknown reasons. He looked at me and the others as if passing pictures that had no right to enter his line of sight. His eyes look beyond him or them. As if we are not meant to exist in his reality. This Xuebao is a different person. There is only mischief and cruelty in his eyes. And in that split second when he showed his rage, even I felt fear of death for the first time. His killing intent was serious as it is. As if our life and death can be decided with a single action from this Xuebao.
In spite of this terror of death there is something else that left me bewildered. When mine and his eyes met, my heart started beating fast. As if my time in that world had finally found my reason for existing. Only then I remembered the contents of those weird dreams. This Xuebao before me right now gave me the same similarity of that person in my dreams. At that point in time, I knew... I had fallen. Within my soul the words saying that he had found him had echoes in his mind. He could only accept it. This is the person he has always been waiting for his whole life.
"Do you... believe me?" asked Meizhou while hugging Xuebao tightly in his embrace. He is not willing to let him go even if he says that he didn't believe him.
"Well~ except for your last sentence I believe the rest. I would never accept that you would be thinking that you've killed me!" said Xuebao. "Or are you saying that you really have plans of killing me in the future?"
Meizhou yelled in disagreement, "IMPOSSIBLE! There is no way I would do that!" he said while showing expression of vexation and agony.
For him just remembering that scene from his dream where he could only watch his beloved die before without being able to prevent it breaks his heart. The pain from just witnessing that event let him experience torment of an almost endless nightmare. He would have wanted to take his place if he could do so.
Seeing his man's distressed expression made Xuebao unhappy which is why he decided to just change the topic.
"Alright! I believe you. So calm down. Why don't we talk of something else?" said Xuebao.
Meizhou who temporarily controlled his raging emotions responded, "Something else?" he asked.
A sly smile appeared on Xuebao's alluring face, there's an obvious hint of naught within that expression. Even his phoenix shaped eyes squinted in a playful manner. "Yes~ let's make some changes in the conditions I gave you for becoming my Protector. Do you want to talk about it?" asked Xuebao.
Meizhou could see his chosen female's kittenish expression, he knew his beloved was up to some mischief. But he still nodded his head in agreement, the temptation of having those restricted conditions are so vexing for him after all.
"Then~ if you have suggestions I would be listening to it right now. Go ahead." said Xuebao while playing with Meizhou's pit black hair. Xuebao frowns for a bit as he feels the rough hair strands with his fingers.
"Yue. Give me the instructions on how to make a homemade shampoo, conditioner and soap. Based the materials needed that are found in this world." said Xuebao in his mind as he talks with his system.
[Understood Host.]
"Show me the equipment needed for it so I could think of an improvise for it. Prepare everything for me and report it at night."
[Affirmative, host!]
After waiting for a while Xuebao didn't hear his man's voice at all. He could only stop hugging his head and held his cheeks in his hands forcing the man to look at him directly. Xuebao could see Meizhou's hesitations and exhilaration.
"Are you sure you have no request? If you don't tell me anything now then... you might not be able to hug me like this after this day." said Xuebao with an angelic smile on his face but this expression is obviously fake and Meizhou could somewhat see his beloved's displeasure for his silent stance.
Meizhou gave up his pride and told his female his honest desires.
"I want to be able to hold your hands anytime." said Meizhou
Xuebao replied while nodding. "Okay. You can."
"I want to be able to hug you as well."
"You could. Just hugging~? Are you sure?~" said Xuebao while using his index finger to tilt up Meizhou's face towards him.
"Can I touch you like this? Always?" said Meizhou. He is talking about being able to put Xuebao in his lap, hug him anytime he wanted and place his hand anywhere on Xuebao.
The smile on Xuebao's face widens, "Touch? You don't mean like this~" he said as he slipped his hands inside Meizhou's shirt, moving his hands inside in an ambiguous manner.
Xuebao's hands inside Meizhou's shirt were rubbing on his back muscles at first, it left Meizhou a bit ticklish. He could feel slightly cold but slender fingers touching his abs and shoulder blades.
'Hm~ his shoulder blades are wider in this body and his abs are solid as rock. Is it because his a warrior who fights all the time in this world that his body had more muscles this time?' thoughts of Xuebao as his naughty hands keep wandering around his husband's body.
[H-Host! I... I might need to... t-tell you something... y-you really need to know... about this world.]
System Yue's shaking voice suddenly resounds within Xuebao's mind. But even though his host heard his voice the hands roaming around his Lord God's body weren't stopping at all. If this continues then that the event that only happens between lovers would happen.
"What is it? Don't you see me teasing my husband? Tell me already." asked Xuebao.
[This is a primitive world which means the people here are beast type humanoid. Even if they are human type some racial characteristics remain. For bears they have large genitals, for snakes they have two and for feline types their members have barbs! Host please live well. Thank you!]
System Yue has turned himself in silent mode and invisible mode to record the whole scene in his space. Xuebao who was caught off guard by the information from his perverted little moon system.
Stiffens
"F-Feline type beastmen have barbs in there... there. In that place!!?" Screamed Xuebao in his mind.
Although Xuebao knew about this fact about feline type mammals after realizing that he is in the world where beastmen exist and he himself is one, Xuebao finally comprehends the danger he is in right now. He pulled out his mischievous hands from inside the shirt of his husband and tried to run away. but before he could get off Meizhou, the arms on his waist got tighter and he could feel the hard and hot thing under his butt. It was too large!! Twice the normal as those from the former world!!!
Xuebao doesn't know whether he should be proud or cry at the misery of his hole being broken.
[Please don't worry host. Your body is that of a female beastman. According to the data of this world your body would be able to adjust at any size of your male's member. It would never tear and one night is enough to heal the swelling. A guaranteed 100 % flexibility inside and outside.]
"Y-You damn perverted system. Shut up for this lord! B-By the way, I...I want to redeem an item. S-Something that can reduce its size!" said Xuebao.
[Sorry for the inconvenience. The system is currently offline. Please try again later.]
"You fucker!! This is the first time I've received this kind of notification! YUE you little shit!!" screamed Xuebao in his mind.
Meanwhile in reality.
Meizhou didn't make any sudden movement except for hugging Xuebao. Well except that was suddenly in his half-beastman form with his ears and tails out to see. The black slick jaguar tail wraps around Xuebao's right wrist as if afraid that he would run away. Xuebao can see his man enduring, even if his body is almost boiling in heat at this moment or his pants are starting to get erratically, he didn't make any other movement aside from hugging his female. He isn't a fool he had noticed that Xuebao's body stiffen the moment he noticed the bulge in that place.
He thought that he had frightened his female unconditionally, "I... I definitely won't do anything you don't like. T-This kind of thing... c-could be fulfilled on the day we completed our mating ceremony. I can wait. I will wait for you!" said Meizhou even though it was hard for him to restrain his desires, he is inclined to hold himself back.
Meizhou's voice turns a bit sorrowful as he pleads to Xuebao.
"I won't do it! I really would not! Please~ don't run away and leave me Bao'er~" said Meizhou as he buried his face deeper in Xuebao's chest.
Xuebao stops his struggles and lays directly on top of Meizhou but hugs him willingly. "I believe you. It's not that I am not willing but... we... you've just become my protector yesterday. If I sleep with you today then my father and elders won't look at you right anymore. They would think you have forced me. Let's take our time. You hold my hands anytime you want, hug me anywhere, touch me wherever you want and..."
Xuebao looked at his stunned protector, who you heard his words of acceptance as well as the changes in the conditions between their relationship. He kissed Meizhou's lips who froze all of the sudden. Then he smiles at him with a pampering gaze as if he is the only one in his world.
"You can kiss me as long as no one could see. After a month I will announce you as my fiancé and half a year later, we can complete the mating ceremony. Do you agree, Meizhou?" asked Xuebao while staring at his stupefied husband affectionately.
Meizhou thought he was hearing things, the words Xuebao just told him signifies he believes not only the content of his dreams but was even willing to forgive him for the hurtful words he told him before. His chosen female beastman was ready to forgive him.
Xuebao voluntarily accepts him as his future mate. After hearing his future mate's words, Meizhou knew that before he could bring home his mate, he had to make his father-in-laws and tribe elders in the tribe satisfied with him. After all, the one he wanted is the future Tribe Leader of Lune.
After defeating Laohu, the second strongest warrior in their tribe, the elders and the tribe priest decided to give the future leader title to Xuebao. Just the strength he has, is enough for him to qualify for the position but that's not all, those who have seen it knew that most ideas that Tuzi has in his mind, have been spread to the whole tribe after been proven by Xuebao.
Asking Tuzi cook last night shows that Xuebao had knowledge in cooking and could improve the food in their tribe. He had seen him talk to the current tribe leader about the different ways of how to cook. Even though it was Tuzi who demonstrated in his beloved's instead, he really doesn't understand why he let that silly rabbit take credits for his works.
Meizhou looked up and gave Xuebao a kiss on his forehead and cheeks. He also pulled the former's hand over him and kissed his fingers reverently. Then he placed that slender hand above his beating heart as if giving a vow.
"I agree. I will accept everything you wanted me to. I will assent everything you wanted to do. I will believe every word you say and... Thank you for accepting once again. This time I give my vows to the Beast God and hear my prayers. I vowed that in this whole lifetime I will only love Xuebao as my mate and as my whole world forever." said Meizhou while looking straight into Xuebao's eyes.
Those orbs with the same color of the sky squinted showing it's delight and passionate love for him. Those eyes show Xuebao's honest feelings for him but the mouth says otherwise.
"Very well~ I will reluctantly accept your vow." he said with a cunning but gentle smile on his flawless face.
One can clearly see someone's personality and truths as you peers within someone's eyes. As they've said, the eyes are the window of the soul.
