Chapter 5: Three Beast Husbands, One Drama

Baili Jing’s demeanor was gentle; he was famous in the circle for his good temper.

But the moment Qin Muye saw him, he felt that this man was no pushover.

"I don't care who you are!" Qin Muye walked up aggressively and emphasized, "I was here first, she’s coming with me!"

"According to the Interstellar Marriage Law, a beast-husband cannot go against the wishes of his female master."

Baili Jing ignored him and steadied the girl in his arms: "Qingli, you choose. Who are you going with?"

In the process, his fingers brushed against Jiang Qingli’s palm very discreetly, leaving behind a faint, itchy sensation.

It was like a seduction, yet as skillful as if he had done it many times before.

Jiang Qingli was slightly stunned and was about to speak when a cold, chilling voice drifted over—

"How much longer do you intend to pester her?"

The group turned their heads.

Ye Linyuan walked slowly toward them, his face gloomy as he stared at them.

The other two looked at Ye Linyuan with equally unfriendly eyes.

Jiang Qingli, however, felt that since all three were here, it was a good time to introduce them. She said to the two men: "This is also my beast-husband. He should... count as your eldest brother?"

The villain still bore her mark, and according to age, he was indeed the oldest.

Upon hearing this, the tightly furrowed brow of Ye Linyuan relaxed slightly.

"And who is this onion?" Qin Muye didn't play along at all, covering his nose in disgust. "Smells like a snake, and he wants to be my big brother?"

Ye Linyuan’s face instantly turned sinister: "Want to die?"

"Just you?" Qin Muye cracked his knuckles, his expression insolent as he raised an eyebrow. "Come on then, let’s see who dies!"

"Alright, stop arguing. You won't die from this!" Jiang Qingli raised a hand to interrupt. "Besides, you’re both F-rank rookies, what’s there to fight about!"

Qin Muye: "..."

Ye Linyuan: "..."

Only after Jiang Qingli had made her stance clear did Baili Jing smile and smooth things over: "Gentlemen, as beast-husbands, we should listen to our female master."

"Who is 'we' with you?" Qin Muye scoffed disdainfully.

Ye Linyuan glanced at the two, crossed his arms, and leaned against the wall, cold killing intent surging in his eyes.

At the very least, they had quieted down.

Jiang Qingli said to Ye Linyuan: "Go wait for me over there, I’ll be there soon."

Then she said to Qin Muye: "Go back to the aircraft. I’ll find you after I finish talking with Baili Jing."

"Why should I!" Qin Muye stared at Jiang Qingli with his gray-blue eyes, dissatisfied, gritting his teeth. "I was clearly here first!"

To Qin Muye’s fury, Jiang Qingli only spoke calmly: "I hope you haven't forgotten that an hour ago, we completed our binding through the system. Now, I am your female master."

The girl’s voice was crisp and pleasant, her almond eyes clean and clear.

She appeared pure and docile, but her tone allowed for no questioning.

Qin Muye got angry the moment he heard the words "female master," but when he met her gaze, he felt as if he’d been scalded and hurriedly looked away.

His original anger vanished, replaced by an unfamiliar sense of irritation.

Qin Muye clicked his tongue impatiently: "Fine, I'll wait for you."

After saying that stiffly, he strode back to the aircraft.

After dealing with the difficult one, Jiang Qingli turned to look for Ye Linyuan, only to find he had already disappeared.

Jiang Qingli asked Baili Jing: "Shall we talk here or find a place?"

Her tone was very natural, and a flash of surprise crossed Baili Jing’s eyes: "Have you forgiven me?"

Jiang Qingli paused.

She suddenly remembered that the Jiang and Baili families were friends for generations, and she and Baili Jing were considered childhood sweethearts.

But in her vague memories, because Ling Qing and Baili Jing were rivals in the entertainment industry, and Baili Jing always kept Ling Qing under his thumb.

When she had just snatched up her five beast-husbands, the original owner had demanded that Baili Jing give a role to Ling Qing. Baili Jing refused, and the original owner was so angry she said many nasty things and ignored him for an entire year.

And now, Baili Jing had become her beast-husband...

"Don't be angry anymore, Qingli."

Baili Jing took her hand and pressed it against his cheek, his long, narrow eyes slightly squinted, the tail of his voice rising with a seductive quality: "I'm sorry, I will never make you unhappy again... Can we be like we were before?"

Jiang Qingli only had the original owner's memories from the last three years, and they were very fragmented.

Since Baili Jing was the original owner's childhood sweetheart, he must be very familiar with her. If she were even slightly careless, her identity as a transmigrator would be discovered.

What if... he decided to kill her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingli suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

The girl pursed her lips and observed him calmly.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the way Baili Jing looked at her was very strange.

It was a very complex look; his eyes were even a bit red, as if he were about to cry.

Were they that close?

She had thought Baili Jing’s personality would be the easiest to handle, which was why she talked to him first, but it turned out he was the hardest to fool.

Jiang Qingli felt a bit of regret.

Is it too late to get a divorce?

Oh, right, it's not possible; there is at least a three-year cooling-off period after marriage.

Damn this "Interstellar Marriage Law"!

Jiang Qingli sighed in her heart, pulled her hand back, and mimicked the original owner's cold tone: "Is that all you wanted to say?"

"Of course not." Baili Jing took a small gift box from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Qingli. "I came out in a hurry, so I only brought this small gift."

Jiang Qingli opened it and saw a ring.

"It's a spatial ring," Baili Jing said. "I prepared it last year; I originally wanted to give it to you..."

Spatial rings were very rare; Baili Jing was certainly generous.

Jiang Qingli felt obligated after taking the gift and gave him a polite smile: "Thank you."

Before she could finish, she was suddenly pulled into his arms.

The male youth's embrace was unexpectedly warm, carrying the fragrance of spring.

His low, magnetic voice trembled by her ear: "Qingli, I thought I would never see you again..."

For some reason, hearing his trembling voice made Jiang Qingli’s heart feel a bit heavy.

She couldn't help but lament in her heart that childhood sweethearts really did have deep bonds.

It seemed she would have to stay away from this guy in the future to avoid being found out.

Jiang Qingli wiggled out of his arms: "Qin Muye is looking for me, I’m going now."

After saying that, she hurried toward the aircraft.

Baili Jing watched her back, the redness at the corners of his eyes deepening as he muttered to himself: "Finally back..."

Jiang Qingli sat inside the aircraft, and Baili Jing’s gaze, which had felt almost tangible, finally vanished.

Just as she let out a sigh of relief, a cold scoff sounded from beside her: "You're slow."

"None of your business?" Facing this rude prince who had no connection to the original owner, Jiang Qingli didn't hold back either. "Speak if you have something to say, spit it out if you have to."

Being snapped at, Qin Muye was very unhappy.

She was all lovey-dovey with that fox spirit just now, hugging and holding on the street, and this was the attitude she gave him!

Sure enough, females all liked the flashy ones.

How vulgar.

"I have no interest in you, and I don't want to get married. Once the three-year cooling-off period is over, we’ll get a divorce. During this time, you are not allowed to touch me! You are not allowed to forcibly mark me!" Qin Muye stated his demands bluntly. "As long as you can do that, you can name any condition."

When he said this, he was prepared to be scolded by Jiang Qingli.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingli turned to look at him, her eyes sparkling.

"There's such a good deal?" almost slipped out.

Jiang Qingli thought about it calmly.

Qin Muye was a prince; the conditions he offered would surely be generous. This was the perfect time to drive up the price.

Jiang Qingli glanced at Qin Muye, putting on an attitude of "I'll consider it reluctantly": "What do you have?"

Qin Muye said: "Whatever you want, I have."

Whoa, what a big mouth!

Jiang Qingli leaned back tactically: "Then... you, you send me fifty first to show me your strength."

Qin Muye scoffed and picked up his terminal.

A few seconds later, Jiang Qingli’s terminal vibrated twice.

Imperial First Central Bank: [The user ending in 0007 has transferred 50 million to you.]

"This is the deposit," Qin Muye said. "From now on, I will transfer 50 million to you every month. After the divorce, except for one house, all assets under my name will belong to you."

Current Qin Muye: Don't touch me!

Future Qin Muye: Wife, Master, your slaps are so fragrant, I love it...
