Reg's face was flushed, and he was panting heavily. His scorching breath fanned across Su Yaoyao's fair neck, hot and itchy.
He'd been up all night wondering why Su Yaoyao had such a deep, soul-level attraction for him. His overexcited Spiritual Body was the best proof there was.
Even the nutrient liquid Su Yaoyao had drunk from held a faint, soothing power.
Reg formed a bold hypothesis: what if Su Yaoyao actually had spiritual power?
There were three types of spiritual soothing: physical contact and linking Spirit Worlds. Both required the female to actively release her spiritual power.
Then there was another kind: the exchange of saliva. This most primitive and direct method didn't require the female to deliberately release her spiritual power, so it wasn't too tiring for her. Plus, both parties could derive immense satisfaction, making it the most common soothing method used by females.
Precise instruments could measure the exact numerical level, but all he needed to do was determine whether Su Yaoyao had spiritual power at all.
His original plan had been to take advantage of the situation, demanding a kiss as payment to obtain her saliva.
But just now, Su Yaoyao's blushing face was incredibly cute and alluring, yet she was making that shy expression while thinking of another male. This made him grind his teeth in anger, and he furiously bit down.
Reg repeatedly licked the lightly broken skin, lapping up every last sweet bead of blood without leaving a single drop.
'Is this the feeling of relief that comes from a highly compatible soothing?' he wondered, feeling the change within his body.
His Spirit World was like a parched desert that had suddenly received a drop of water, a spring in the wasteland.
For her to cause an S-Class like him to experience a soul-deep resonance and lose control meant Su Yaoyao's spiritual power was very strong—at least S-Class.
'So that's why Bai Lian is so protective of Su Yaoyao.'
'He was afraid that if I found out Yaoyao was S-Class, I would stop at nothing to lower my Rage Value. That's why he teamed up with Pani to trick me, telling me she had no spiritual power.'
'Then everything makes sense.'
Reg mulled over his own speculations, even suspecting Su Yaoyao had already soothed Bai Lian. The very thought made his heart ache with a sharp pain. 'Why couldn't I have been the first?'
Beastman saliva had natural healing properties, so her wound healed quickly.
Reg lifted his head in dissatisfaction. His eyes were moist and looked incredibly wronged, as if he were the one who had been bullied.
"Yaoyao... soothe me. Give me more."
'It's not enough. It's far from enough.' His body was screaming, craving more.
Su Yaoyao was at a loss, her body trembling lightly in fear.
'What does he mean, give him more?!'
As the horrifying possibility dawned on her, Su Yaoyao pushed harder against Reg's chest.
"N-No, go away."
Su Yaoyao's voice trembled, making it sound even softer and more delicate.
Reg panted heavily. Every place Su Yaoyao touched felt scalding hot. He wanted more; he couldn't control himself.
He swiftly claimed Su Yaoyao's soft lips, his warm tongue deftly plunging into her mouth, relentlessly drinking from her.
Su Yaoyao's eyes flew open. She froze for a few seconds before reacting and pushing hard against Reg, but she was too weak; it was completely useless.
'This is my first kiss!'
The man's tongue churned inside her mouth, savage and rough, conquering every inch of territory without a trace of gentleness.
His large hand clamped onto the back of her head, making it impossible for her to struggle free.
'Not enough, still not enough…'
His other hand wrapped tightly around her slender waist and lifted her up. Afraid of falling, Su Yaoyao instinctively locked her legs around his waist, which only pressed their bodies closer together.
Reg walked toward the room, kissing her all the while.
Su Yaoyao was about to suffocate from the kiss. She wanted him to stop, but all that came out were whimpers, which sounded like an aphrodisiac to Reg's ears.
The moment he finally let go, Reg tossed her onto the bed. Her body was so light that it even bounced twice.
Reg's eyes were dark, filled with intense possessiveness.
He licked away the silvery thread of saliva lingering at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't let a single drop of Su Yaoyao's essence go to waste.
His clothes had already been pulled askew by Su Yaoyao, and several buttons were missing. With a decisive tug, the remaining buttons finally gave way, popping off and revealing his powerful chest and firm abs.
Reg knelt on the bed with one leg, his entire body pressing down.
Engulfed in the man's shadow, Su Yaoyao struggled to lift her good leg and kick him in the chest.
Reg's lips curved into a smirk. To him, the force of Su Yaoyao's kick felt like a kitten scratching an itch.
His large hand closed around Su Yaoyao's slender ankle.
His dark skin radiated a wild, untamed aura, a stark contrast to Su Yaoyao's fairness, which was as pure and flawless as fresh snow.
The visual disparity immediately captivated Reg's gaze.
Reg lowered his head and kissed Su Yaoyao's ankle, his touch much gentler than before.
"Let go of me."
Su Yaoyao struggled, trying to pull her leg back. She was genuinely terrified that Reg was going to mate with her. S-She wasn't mentally prepared for that.
But because of her struggles, the hem of her large shirt slid up to her waist.
Reg's pupils trembled. He had seen her most private place.
His Adam's apple bobbed, a sign of extreme desire.
"Ah! You pervert!"
Su Yaoyao's face flushed crimson. She grabbed the hem of her shirt, pulling it down as she shouted.
Just then, Bai Lian, who was in the hallway on his way back from buying supplies, heard Su Yaoyao's shout and instantly threw the door open.
The scene before him made his pupils constrict. He rushed forward in a fury, dragged Reg off the bed, and punched him in the face.
"Bastard! What did you do?!"
Reg licked the inside of his cheek, thoroughly annoyed. He knew Bai Lian had gone into town early this morning; he just hadn't expected him back so soon.
Reg sneered, "Bai Lian, stop pretending. I won't let you have the little female all to yourself."
'It's not fair that you're the only one receiving spiritual soothing!'
Bai Lian's brow furrowed. 'What is Reg talking about?' But as for possessing the little female… of course, he had thought about it too…
But females in the Star Shining Empire were allowed to have multiple husbands. A jealous Beast Husband would be disliked by his wife, and could even be divorced.
'I have to be a proper Beast Husband.'
When Reg saw Bai Lian fall silent, he felt all his earlier suspicions were confirmed and was instantly consumed by rage.
'Damn it!'
'Why wasn't I the one who met Yaoyao first? If I had, maybe I would be the one she relies on and feels close to. I could have received her first spiritual soothing.'
"Bai Lian! You hypocrite!"
Not to be outdone, Reg threw a punch.
Blood trickled from the corner of Bai Lian's mouth.
Su Yaoyao was terrified and burst into tears.
"Stop fighting! SOB SOB..."
The two men, who had been on the verge of an all-out brawl, froze when they heard the little female's sobs.
Both of them had the exact same thought: 'Damn, we scared the little female.'
