After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 73 The First Beast Husband

"What?" He Yu thought there was something wrong with his ears; he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

His heart raced, as if an electric current was coursing through his body, filling him with excitement and nervousness. He knew now wasn't the best time to discuss this topic, but deep down, he couldn't suppress the long-awaited joy.

He coughed lightly, trying to make his voice sound more composed. He turned to Chu Xinyao, his eyes filled with uncertainty, but even more so with anticipation.

Chu Xinyao's pretty face turned bright red. She was so embarrassed. Why did he ask her again without asking her to repeat herself? Could it be that he was refusing her?

“Xinyao,” he said sincerely, “I may not have heard you clearly just now. Could you repeat what you just said?” His words were pleading. He didn’t want to miss any possible opportunity, nor did he want to misunderstand her meaning because of his mishearing.

Chu Xinyao's face was practically burning hot. She felt extremely embarrassed, wondering if she had been too blunt. Her eyes darted around, avoiding He Yu's gaze, yet worried that he might misunderstand.

She was filled with conflicting emotions, biting her lip and hesitating whether to speak again.

“Xinyao,” Heyu called softly again, his voice urgent, not wanting this moment to slip away, “Please tell me what you just said.”

His gaze was firm, as if telling her that whatever her answer was, he was ready.

“I…I mean,” she bit her lip, lowering her head to avoid looking at the crane feathers, “would you like to be my partner? Yes…”

"I do!" Before Chu Xinyao could finish speaking, upon hearing that it was truly what he had been hoping for, He Yu agreed without hesitation.

Chu Xinyao suddenly looked up and met a pair of deep, watery eyes. "You..."

“I do!” Tsuruha replied again.

Chu Xinyao was shocked. "You, you're not even going to consider it? I, although it's not entirely because of the cubs, no, not entirely because of the need for the secret technique, I..." She tried to make amends.

"Are you sure?" she finally asked with a sigh.

Unlike usual, He Yu gave a bright smile and said, "I'm sure of it."

"Don't you think I'm using you because of these cubs?"

Chu Xinyao finally asked the question. No matter how she explained it, the situation was what it was: she needed a man to earn points to save the children in her womb.

"Then I should be even more grateful to them. If it weren't for that, who knows how long it would have taken you to respond to my advances?"

His pursuit? When did he start pursuing her?

Fortunately, there are more important things to do now, otherwise, if she had asked, He Yu might have cried her eyes out.

He shamelessly followed Tiger Roar, doing his best to rescue her along the way. Upon hearing the rumors, he flew back overnight, attempting to free Chu Xinyao from Snake Ink's control. He even gave her a ride in his beast form and let her stay in his house, a house belonging to this older, single male beastman.

Isn't everything he does simply because he likes it?

"Now, what should I do? Should I mate?" He Yu asked bluntly. If he hadn't misheard, Chu Xinyao wanted to become his partner and mate! But what kind of secret technique was this? He had only heard that some females, when pregnant and having large bellies that made childbirth difficult, needed to mate with male beastmen before giving birth to widen the birth canal and facilitate the birth of larger offspring.

But now, looking at Chu Xinyao's flat stomach, he realized that both the Red Crane Clan and the Ink Serpent Clan were oviparous, and their eggs were small. What secret technique required mating to protect the young?

Could it be that Xinyao is trying to stimulate her stomach to induce premature labor? But many herbs have the same effect. The shaman left some medicine with him when he came, saying it had the same effect.

However, He Yu turned his head away, refusing to look at the medicine packets on the table. Call him selfish if you want, but he didn't want to tell Xin Yao these things.

"Yes, that's right." Her time was running out, and she stopped being coy.

"What to do?"

Chu Xinyao's movements were slightly unnatural. She turned her head and her gaze fell on He Yu's innocent face.

She sighed inwardly. Was she supposed to take the initiative in this matter? But looking at He Yu's bewildered expression, she realized he was probably still a fledgling and truly knew nothing about matters between men and women.

Chu Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lifted the animal skin from her hands. "Yu, come closer."

He obeyed her and unconsciously leaned forward, instantly reducing the distance between them.

An indescribable atmosphere began to fill the air, and their every breath intertwined in the quiet space, becoming exceptionally clear. Chu Xinyao could feel the warmth emanating from He Yu; his breath brushed against her neck, causing her heart to beat involuntarily faster, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

Tsurugi Shun's face flushed slightly. "Is...is this how it is?" His heart was racing. He, who was always calm and elegant, was also a little flustered in the face of the softness that was within reach.

"Mmm." Chu Xinyao raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching He Yu's cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin. Her touch was extremely gentle, like a feather brushing against his face, making him feel intensely itchy.

A flicker of surprise crossed He Yu's eyes, quickly replaced by a gentle light. His eyes reflected Chu Xinyao's image; she could see her own reflection in them, and she could see that he only had eyes for her.

Seeing the image of Tu Duoduo in He Yu's eyes, she suddenly reverted to her original appearance, finding it more pleasing to the eye this way.

Her hand gradually moved downwards, gently caressing He Yu's shoulder, and then his arm. Her movements were awkward, but to He Yu, they were incredibly alluring.

He Yu's breathing became rapid. He felt that every light touch from Chu Xinyao was like a stone thrown into a lake, creating ripples.

Chu Xinyao suddenly pounced on the crane feather, covering it with that vibrant color. At that moment, all hesitation and uncertainty vanished, replaced by an intense longing.

He Yu was taken aback by the sudden action, but he quickly responded to Chu Xinyao's enthusiasm. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly in his embrace, as if trying to merge her into his own body.

Their lips intertwined, their tongues lightly touching, exchanging breaths and warmth.

Chu Xinyao ran her fingers through He Yu's hair, pressed her body against him, and felt his strength.

Crane Feather's hand gently stroked her back, his touch filled with love, each caress giving Chu Xinyao an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Their movements grew more intense; every kiss, every touch, spoke of their longing and uncontrollable love for each other. Their bodies gradually merged into one as they explored each other, their heartbeats resonating in unison.
