Healing S-Class Beasts Made Me the Empire's Treasure

"Hey, seriously, what are you doing!"

"Jun Lin Yuan, that’s enough, enough! Stop kissing me."

Yu Lan was currently pinned underneath the Red Flame Fierce Tiger.

An overwhelming torrent of kisses rained down on her.

The big tiger’s hot tongue licked her face again and again.

The passion was too much to bear. Yu Lan closed her eyes, reaching out with her small hands to try and push away the big tiger’s fluffy head.

But then, her tender, smooth little hands were also unceremoniously enveloped in the big tiger’s mouth for a few kisses.

The palm of her hand was left damp. It was just too much enthusiasm.

’Seriously...’

’How could someone have such a huge contrast between their human and beast forms?’

It couldn’t help but remind Yu Lan of when she first met Huo Zhanting. The man had been just like this.

Cold and icy on the outside, he’d seemed utterly disgusted by any contact with her. But then he would change into his beast form and take the initiative to come find her for kisses and cuddles.

And at the time, Yu Lan had been completely oblivious, truly treating Huo Zhanting’s beast form, the Golden Lion, like a common pet, cuddling it to sleep every night.

It had gotten to the point where Su Xingye, Li Yucheng, and Shen Zueran were now all eager to try, always thinking about sleeping and cuddling with Yu Lan.

Thinking of this, a jolt went through Yu Lan.

’No way.’

’It can’t be...’

’Jun Lin Yuan doesn’t like me now too, does he?’

’Four of them is already hard enough to handle. Every day is spent either placating one or on the way to placate another.’

’If another one joins the mix, how will I ever manage?’

’My back... it really will break, won’t it?’

At this thought, a flash of terror crossed Yu Lan’s face, and she immediately asked the question aloud.

"Jun Lin Yuan, you don’t like me, do you?"

’What?’

The Red Flame Fierce Tiger, who had been lost in a world of kisses and cuddles, froze completely.

A trace of confusion flickered in its molten gold eyes.

’Him? Like a female?’

’How is that possible? He clearly despises contact with females the most.’

But then he considered his current actions.

Pinning the beautiful female beneath him, indulging in wanton kisses and cuddles, making sure Yu Lan was thoroughly covered in his scent.

At the same time, his sleek, glossy tail was wrapped dominantly around her waist, preventing her from escaping.

’And with all this, you’re going to say you have a phobia of females?’

’Who would believe that?!’

’What kind of male with a phobia of females acts like this?’

’A phobia where you sneak in after the beautiful female’s other males have all left, use your fluffy beast form to seduce her, and seize the chance to climb into her bed?’

The Red Flame Fierce Tiger shook its head.

The thing called ’reason’ was crumpled into a ball, tossed into a corner, and then kicked away by four powerful limbs.

The next second, a single "AWOO" rang out.

The big tiger pounced right back onto Yu Lan, its licking growing even bolder.

’So good, so good, so good.’

’Like, like, like.’

Watching the big tiger—extremely excited, letting out continuous happy roars, and trying to bury its big, fluffy head in her shoulder—Yu Lan sighed softly.

She knew that Jun Lin Yuan had probably lost all reason due to his rut and had no idea what she had just asked him.

Now, she could only rely on herself to solve this problem.

She reached out her small hand to stroke the big tiger’s neck and spoke in a soft voice:

"Our big tiger is the best-behaved, isn’t he?"

"Can you let me up now? It’s cold on the floor."

As she spoke, Yu Lan put a timely, pitiful look on her pretty little face.

Protecting females is a male’s natural instinct.

Almost no male can remain indifferent when a female looks at them pitifully and asks for help.

This was a new piece of knowledge Yu Lan had learned recently. What she didn’t know, however, was that this rule didn’t apply to 3S-level males.

Unless the male chose to let it.

At that moment, the Red Flame Fierce Tiger looked down at Yu Lan, who was lying beneath him with a pitiful expression.

Its big, fluffy head tilted, and a dark glint flashed in its molten gold eyes.

Its heart was thumping wildly—THUMP THUMP THUMP—and hot blood surged through its veins.

’For some reason...’

’Looking at this scene, the Red Flame Fierce Tiger felt a tickle in its heart, like the very tip of a feather lightly brushing against it, sending a shiver through its body.’

’For some inexplicable reason, it wanted the female before it to cry.’

’It wanted to hear sobs escape from her soft, moist lips.’

The little tiger grew even more smug and ardent.

Feeling it, Yu Lan’s entire face turned red.

She was as red as a cooked crayfish.

She even forgot about coaxing Jun Lin Yuan off of her so she could go get the Hope Potion and inject him with it.

She never would have expected it.

’That a little tiger in rut could be this naughty.’

’Not well-behaved at all.’

Feeling the Red Flame Fierce Tiger’s scorching breath on her neck and its increasingly outrageous movements, Yu Lan gritted her teeth.

She reached out her hand...

...and pinched the little tiger. Hard.

"AWOOO!!!"

A tiger’s roar, filled with the utmost sense of grievance, echoed through the tent.

Outside, all the birds around the tent were startled by this pitiful roar and took flight with a flutter of wings.

「Meanwhile」

The young, prodigal males selected from the army, who were already on high alert, snapped their eyes open, shot up from their beds, and looked toward the source of the tiger’s roar.

"What’s going on? Is it an enemy attack?"

"Who’s injured?"

"Is everyone from Squad One here?"

"Squad One, all present and accounted for! No problems!"

"Squad Two, all present and accounted for! No problems!"

In less than a minute, all squad members confirmed they were fine.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze fell on the one portrait on the communicator that had remained dark from the very beginning.

It was, of course, Jun Lin Yuan.

Upon realizing this, an indescribably strange expression flickered across the faces of all the special forces members.

In terms of talent and strength, Jun Lin Yuan was the leader among their special forces team—the strongest of them all.

It would be normal for anyone else to have a problem, but Jun Lin Yuan?

’Impossible.’

’Absolutely impossible.’

’Then why?’

They exchanged glances, thinking about the hint of grievance mixed into that tiger’s roar.

They still decided to go and investigate.

What if there really was a problem?

"Squad One, Squad Two, form up! Advance rapidly, and stay alert."

"Yes, sir."

The Empire’s special forces team raced toward the location of Yu Lan’s tent.

「Meanwhile」

Inside the tent,

The big tiger leaped three meters into the air, yelping in pain.

Its excitement instantly turned to aggrieved misery.

It stood three meters away from Yu Lan, its tail awkwardly covering its front, staring at her with pitiful, aggrieved, molten gold eyes.

’Why would she do that to him?’

’It really hurt.’

’What kind of female was this?’

’She had to give him an explanation, or else he was going to get angry.’

The Red Flame Fierce Tiger was so aggrieved that even its glossy fur seemed to have lost its luster.

Yu Lan, however, didn’t even spare it a glance. She scrambled up from the floor, hurried over to where the Hope Potion was stored, and quickly pulled out a vial of the faintly blue Hope Potion.

Then she turned and walked toward the Red Flame Fierce Tiger.
