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

[Honey, you’ve got him completely on the hook.]

[With a fragrant, soft, beautiful female lying on his body, Jun Lin Yuan must be going crazy with happiness.]

[There were so many other ways, but he just had to choose carrying Yu Lan. Jun Lin Yuan’s intentions are as clear as day!]

[As we all know, as we all know, to ensure a female takes responsibility for a male and doesn’t just play with his heart, once overly intimate contact has occurred, the male can use it as an opportunity to demand official recognition.]

[This is mainly to prevent a male who has lost his "purity" from being unable to find another Female Master and being left to die alone.]

[So, does Yu Lan riding on Jun Lin Yuan right now count as overly intimate contact?]

[Ah! Well...]

A single, short question left all the viewers in the livestream stumped.

So, did this count as intimate contact?

On the one hand, you could say it did. But it was also a matter of expediency. They were in the middle of a league competition, and a female’s body was delicate and soft. They weren’t as durable as males, who had boundless stamina and could travel for miles.

For the sake of victory, Jun Lin Yuan had suggested carrying Yu Lan. No matter how you looked at it, the decision was perfectly reasonable.

Besides, none of the many special forces members around them had raised any objections.

In truth, when the special forces members had watched Jun Lin Yuan make his move, they had all been completely stunned.

Just as they were about to speak, Yu Lan had already started climbing onto the Red Flame Fierce Tiger herself. A terrifying, 3S-level pressure was unleashed without reservation, its source’s molten-gold, flame-like eyes filled with menace.

No one dared to interrupt the apex Hunter when he had finally managed to coax the beautiful female, and they certainly didn’t have the guts to offer to carry her themselves.

Otherwise, what awaited them would be the escalating, murderous intent of an apex Hunter.

The special forces members obediently fell in behind Jun Lin Yuan, running in unison toward the nearby forest.

Jun Lin Yuan’s beast form, the Red Flame Fierce Tiger, led the way. Its form was gorgeous and sleek, its magnificent fur flowing freely in the wind as it ran.

The most eye-catching sight of all, however, was the beautiful female riding on Jun Lin Yuan’s back.

It was hard to say if Jun Lin Yuan was doing it intentionally.

As she rode atop the Red Flame Fierce Tiger, Yu Lan’s body kept sliding backward, jostled with every stride.

Afraid of falling, she had no choice but to squeeze her legs tightly around him.

Her arms were also wrapped tightly around the Red Flame Fierce Tiger’s neck.

The two of them were pressed incredibly close.

The scorching heat from the Red Flame Fierce Tiger’s body transferred to Yu Lan, causing the beautiful female’s face to grow hot and flushed with a delicate pink blush.

When the scene reached the audience through the livestream, it set off another round of exclamations.

[So devious! Truly devious!]

[How can any male be this devious?]

[Jun Lin Yuan is in absolute heaven right now, isn’t he? JUN LIN YUAN IS IN HEAVEN.]

[The beautiful female’s delicate, soft body pressed against him, rising and falling with every rapid stride... AAAAAAH!!!! I can’t even think about it! I’m gonna get a nosebleed!]

[If Jun Lin Yuan isn’t doing this on purpose, I’ll livestream myself eating a keyboard.]

The Star Network was abuzz with heated discussion.

However, there wasn’t much condemnation of his actions.

He was an outstanding, top-tier 3S-level male, exceptionally talented and holding a position of great power at a young age.

He was going to such great lengths just to win a female’s favor.

How could that not soften one’s heart?

Besides, he was also incredibly handsome. A handsome man paired with a beautiful woman was a combination people had always loved to see.

But in stark contrast to the heated discussions, shipping, and general delight on the Star Network were Huo Zhanting and his companions.

Watching their Female Master in such intimate contact with another male...

He was the Imperial Marshal, a man who, despite his youth, was a veteran of a hundred battles, decisive in his campaigns. Even in the most critical life-or-death moments, his stern expression had never wavered.

But now, that handsome face was dark with the fury of a gathering storm, and a crazed rage burned in his golden eyes.

A male’s instinct is to defend his female.

If Jun Lin Yuan had been standing before him at that moment, Huo Zhanting would have likely lunged forward and savagely bitten his neck.

Shen Zueran, Su Xingye, and Li Yucheng were all in the same state.

Each man’s expression was more terrifyingly grim than the last.

Their hands, hanging at their sides, were clenched into tight fists, the veins on the back of them bulging, creating a terrifyingly savage sight.

Never before had they wanted to beat someone up so badly.

But Jun Lin Yuan paid no mind to anyone’s reaction.

Right now, only two things mattered to him.

One was the beautiful little female on his back, Yu Lan.

The other was securing this victory for the Empire and winning the Green Emerald Star.

For some reason, Jun Lin Yuan, a man who had always believed that victory and defeat were just part of the game, felt an intense desire to win this military league competition.

’I don’t want to lose.’

’I *can’t* lose.’

’I absolutely cannot lose in front of Yu Lan.’

The Red Flame Fierce Tiger was a natural-born leader, guiding the special forces team onward.

After nearly five or six hours of running, even the powerful Red Flame Fierce Tiger, with its immense stamina, couldn’t help but pant a little heavier.

Yu Lan, who was lying on its back, noticed immediately.

A little worried, she reached out to touch the Red Flame Fierce Tiger’s forehead, then glanced back at the other special forces members.

Their talent and stamina were naturally no match for Jun Lin Yuan’s, and their wheezing breaths were now glaringly obvious.

Yu Lan frowned, hesitating. She wondered if she should suggest to Jun Lin Yuan that they stop and rest for a bit.

’If everyone is this exhausted, how can we possibly win?’ she thought. ’I’m afraid a single ambush would get us all eliminated.’

Just as Yu Lan was about to speak, the running Red Flame Fierce Tiger came to a sudden halt, and Jun Lin Yuan’s familiar voice rang out.

"Rest here. Team One, you’re on guard and patrol. Team Two, prepare tonight’s meal."

As Jun Lin Yuan’s words fell, a crisp, firm response immediately echoed through the clearing.

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately after, the area was filled with flashes of white light.

Bears, tigers, leopards, snakes—

—all of them transformed back into their human forms. Black combat uniforms clung to their tall, powerful physiques, and combat helmets concealed their faces, leaving only their sharp, piercing eyes visible.

A powerful, stern aura, tinged with a stoic discipline that only served to fuel the imagination, washed over the scene.

The livestream’s comment section immediately erupted in another round of excited squeals.

[Hot. So incredibly hot.]

[No wonder the most popular males every year, the ones who have the easiest time finding a partner, are always from the military corps.]

[It’s that arrogant, dominant aura. When their mating season comes and they’re forced to blush, all shy and timid, while begging for a female’s comfort... it’s just so tantalizing it drives you crazy.]

[I heard a lot of Female Masters like to have them do... *it*... in their uniforms. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how wonderful!]

[Males from other professions just can’t compare to a man in this black uniform.]

[Hey, don’t dismiss everyone else! Elite males in suits, research males in lab coats... they all have their own special charm.]

And at this moment, with another flash of white light, the Red Flame Fierce Tiger also reverted to his human form.

Jun Lin Yuan now held Yu Lan securely in a princess carry. A roguish, provocative smirk that made you want to slap him played across his face, lighting up his molten-gold eyes.

"What’s this? Fallen for me already? Can’t bear to leave my arms now?"
