Chapter 16 useless Happiness

This time, the ancient seeds were peculiar in their growth and the way they walked. Alexander and the others didn't harvest much energy crystals at all. After repairing the city walls, they distributed a portion according to fair standards. In the end, what was left was not even enough to fill the gap in their teeth. Eugene, the white wolf, also toned down his arrogance by eight points. Although he brought news that would make everyone rich, the primitive beast tribe's efforts and rewards were completely disproportionate.

What annoyed them the most was that the breeding camp in the fifth district had a breach opened during the battle. Two female beasts were frightened and escaped. So while the male beasts cleaned up the battlefield and repaired the city walls, they also had to find them. The wild animals' instincts allowed them to conceal their own scent, and the fierce winds in the desert added to the difficulty of finding the female beasts.

Alexander's house was burned to almost nothing. There was no concept of firefighting in the old city district during battles, let alone the fact that Alexander's house was separate from the other buildings, so the male beasts wouldn't bother to extinguish the fire. Those who were in the know understood that Happiness had already moved to a different location and couldn't help but feel relieved. If the female beast was trapped in the burning house, even if they couldn't save the fifth district and let all the ancient seeds escape, they would still save her first.

Happiness was already held in high regard by the male beasts. The outside world had no influence on her at all. She only lost the letter under Alexander's pillow and the snacks that filled Alexander's refrigerator.

At this moment, it happened to be 7:14 in the evening. Happiness was in Ben' home, watching TV. This TV was much bigger than the one in Alexander's house, occupying almost half of the wall. Happiness couldn't understand much, but she could guess from the images. The screen captured scenes of humans, either decaying or dried up, launching a massive attack on the fifth district. The footage was shaky because the videographer wasn't professional. This was too terrifying...it was like a zombie siege! Happiness swallowed her saliva, witnessing a large number of corpse troops advancing along with fire and explosions. Many massive creatures jumped out of the city walls, and Happiness, based on her understanding of animals from before she crossed over, recognized wolves, dogs, and panthers. It wasn't difficult to recognize them, and when she connected it to her previous hiding underground and the commotion outside, it was evident that this program was about where she lived.

Silently watching the battle between beasts and zombies for a while, with blood and flesh flying, rotten meat scattered, and skulls of dried corpses flying up like skeletons, landing in front of the cameraman's lens. The cameraman crushed the skull with his foot, and after the sound of an explosion, he wiped the goo on the sole of his shoe on the ground. The TV host spoke in an unfamiliar language, and the guests chuckled knowingly... Gradually, Happiness curled up her legs, resting her chin on her knees, and hugged herself tighter and tighter. She remembered when Alexander jumped down the hole, his left shoulder was covered in bloody flesh, and there was a smell of burnt flesh. It was indeed burnt, and the sight of the rolled-up skin and flesh looked painful, but Alexander didn't seem to care at all. He just checked her up and down with a tense expression before finally letting out a sigh of relief and showing a relaxed expression.

This world...it seems like there are no normal humans...

When Happiness realized that her method of tightly hugging her arms and curling up into a ball could no longer calm herself down, and she started trembling all over, she decisively ran toward the kitchen. Alexander, the rogue beast, as well as the previous cat-eyed and Glasses man were not there. The only living thing in this big house besides her was Ben, who was humming a song while cooking for her!

Happiness rushed into the kitchen. The temperature here was higher than outside, and the orange light was warm. She bit her lip and approached Ben unnoticed, placing her hand on the counter, watching him slice the meat. He also marinated a pot of spare ribs, probably to cook for her.

Ben glanced at Happiness, she was so small, her shoulders barely reached the height of the table, her dark eyelashes were dense and long, like two small fans covering her eyes, staring at the meat in his hand without blinking. Ben found it funny in his heart, so he quickly finished cutting the meat, wiped his hands, and squatted down, smiling at Happiness, "Happiness, are you hungry? Just wait a moment, it will be ready soon." He took a blue fruit from the bowl and said, "Or would you like to eat one of these first?"

Happiness vigorously shook her head. She had been trying to control her emotions and came to find Ben just to calm herself down and stop overthinking. But now, Ben's gentle voice stirred her up. Her nose tingled, her eyes blurred, her mouth curved downwards, and Happiness reached out and hugged Ben's neck, burying her face in his shoulder and crying.

"Happiness?!" Ben panicked and quickly took Happiness off him. Seeing her teary and flustered, he nervously touched her forehead, then her belly, and finally checked her previously sprained foot, anxiously asking, "Happiness, what's wrong? Are you in pain? Are you sick?!"

"Waah!!" Happiness cried out in pain. She knew that her only way out was to play the role of a good obedient pet in front of Alexander, and to quickly win him over... But since she had crossed over, she had been terrified, and coupled with the cruel images and sounds on TV, Happiness really needed someone to hold her tightly, promise her future safety, so that she wouldn't be so scared, regardless of whether that person was Alexander, the rogue beast, or Ben.

Happiness reached out again, tightly embracing Ben's neck, her entire body pressed against him, and tears quickly soaked his collar.

Ben didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of Happiness's vulnerability. The sorrowful cry of the little female beast twisted his heart. Although the pair of soft and elastic little breast that he had fantasized about were currently pressed against his chest, he didn't try to touch or do anything. He held Happiness tightly with a force that was neither light nor heavy, even when he heard a noise at the door, he didn't let go of Happiness.

The scene was a bit comical. Ben sat on the kitchen floor, holding Happiness who was crying loudly. In terms of size, it looked like an adult holding a child. He deliberately boiled the fruit paste that he had made for Happiness, and it overflowed the pot, falling onto the stove with a sizzling sound. Abyssyus, the cheetah, held bags of various sizes in his hand, dumbfounded at the kitchen door, his facial expression twisted, like a housewife who had come home carrying thirty kilograms of rice only to find her husband having an affair with a stranger.

After venting in Ben's embrace, Happiness finally sobbed and raised her head from his embrace. She sniffled and said, "Something boiled over."

Ben had already seen Abyssyus. He turned off the heat for the fruit paste, found a clean towel, dampened and wrung it out before wiping Happiness's face. Then he patted her head and filled a bowl with the fruit paste, setting it aside to cool.

"Alexander and Damian are busy, so I came to accompany Happiness."Abyssyus put down several large bags and lifted Happiness up, pressing his face against her cheek, dissatisfied as he said, "Her body temperature is normal, she's not sick, why is she crying so much? Did you do something disgusting and shameless to her?"

"No." Ben shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe she was scared by the TV program. After all, Happiness is still a young beast, and female. It's different from us. It's my fault. I just wanted to listen to the news, so I switched to that channel."

Does watching TV also make you cry? Abyssyus's heart was so soft that it was about to melt. He didn't know what to do with this little animal in his hand that kept sobbing. The females in the breeding camp would never learn to watch TV. This delicate, timid, and soft trait of the opposite sex, he truly understood it for the first time. Looking at Happiness's red eyes and nose, his whole body felt numb.

In plain terms, Happiness's timid personality and fragile body perfectly matched the aesthetic view of these dominant male beasts, and it hit the softest part of their hearts.

Abyssyus carried Happiness out, and Ben sighed, sorting the food he bought and busy cooking. It seemed that he was looking forward to having a meal alone with Happiness, but it was destined to be a luxury. Suddenly, Ben remembered something and shouted outside, "Abyssyus, Eliot said that the little female beast can gain a sense of security from our fur. It might be better if you transform into your beast form and let her lie on you. Oh, please turn off the TV."

"Really?" Abyssyus's nose touched Happiness's nose, his eyes met hers, and he affectionately said to Happiness, "Little female beast, do you prefer our beast form? But it's not possible. We have to mate with you in our human form. Your size is so small, how can you bear our beast form?"

Ben had a black line on his forehead and said helplessly, "That's not what I meant!"

Happiness wasn't very familiar with the Cat-eyed Beast, so she held back her tears and returned to her full BUFF mode. She smiled sweetly at the Cat-eyed Beast to show that she was fine. But he dragged a clean thick blanket from the inner room and inexplicably put her on it. The Cat-eyed Beast slowly took off all his clothes, not even sparing his underwear. He casually bent down and neatly folded his clothes on the coffee table. Among his luxuriant golden fur, a dick was semi-hard and swayed with his movements.

Then Abyssyus lay down next to Happiness and turned into a huge leopard, with sharp fangs and claws shining with cold light, much sharper than Eliot and Ben. The bright golden fur was covered with black-brown spots, and the strong leopard body and limbs had no trace of fat. It moved with incomparable grace and contained infinite explosive power. It was simply a perfect combination of strength and beauty. If it were on a Discovery animal program before Happiness traveled, it would definitely be called something like "Emperor of the Night"... on TV, that is.

A huge Golden Retriever or Border Collie would make Happiness amazed and a little fearful. But in the end, she would still feel safe and happy to roll around with them, following the ancient belief that "dogs are man's best friend."

But what about a huge Golden Leopard?Happiness's teeth chattered. Yes, Abyssyus had put away his sharp claws, and he tried his best to keep his teeth inside his mouth, forming a comical expression. His fur was indeed smoother than the best silk, and leaning against his belly was more comfortable than any cushion. But... he was not a dog! He was a wild beast!!!

Abyssyus was about to change the channel with his tail curled up around the remote control, but he paused. He turned up the volume and carefully watched the news. The host clearly mentioned that the fifth district had suffered heavy losses in the building. The urban restoration this time will be handled by the tenth district. Furthermore, the peculiar actions of the ancient species toward the fifth district have received attention from higher authorities. The spokesperson of the tenth district stated that they will cultivate the old fifth district into a new strategic city, updating its infrastructure. A certain unit of the original Tiger Tribe has already taken on this task and will depart in two days.
