Duel Between Two Males

“You're good-looking, and your scent is captivating, very, very pleasant...”

“A few days ago, the moment I saw you, I felt that I liked you and wanted to pursue you.”

“Even if you like other males, it's alright. I can be your second partner, little female~”

In the world of beasts, when seeking a mate, appearances were considered, but the scent that one found attractive on the other individual was even more important.

Partners weresought through body odor. He grabbed her hand and placed it on his strong and handsome chest, expressing his feelings to her.

As if a pitiable puppy seeking its owner's attention.

However, An Yao immediately released his hand as if electrocuted, her body bristling, “No, I don't like it. Don't come to find me anymore. I won't be your partner!”

After saying that, she closed the door.

Outside the door, Naxiu stood there in a daze, his face full of regret.

It suddenly dawned on him that his behavior just now had been too hasty and impulsive, leaving a bad impression on the little female...

Would she dislike him now? He stood there like a stone, from morning till evening, until night fell.

With a despondent expression, he howled and transformed into a leopard and ran away.

A few days later, the hunting team returned in great numbers, bringing back thousands of pounds of prey to the Luoteng Tribe.

The large stone field was lit with clusters of bonfires. The beastmen painted their faces with red and green markings, singing and dancing to welcome the warriors' return.

Jin rushed to the forefront, his gaze scanning the crowd in a hurry.

At a glance, he saw An Yao sitting with a few female beasts around the campfire, chatting and laughing. A smile appeared on the handsome youth's face.

Just as he was about to walk over, he saw a male beastman arrogantly blocking his way, his head held high, “Hey, you're Jin, right? I want to duel with you!”

The newcomer was none other than Naxiu. His voice might not have been loud, but it drew the attention of the surrounding beastmen.

“I officially declare that I want to pursue An Yao, and... I want to be her second partner!”

Upon hearing her own name unexpectedly, An Yao's lips twitched. She looked over at the two who were facing off, and everyone was flabbergasted.

Micao, by her side, excitedly shook her arm. “Wow, An Yao, two males are going to duel for you!”

Several females wore expressions of watching a good show. They were almost ready to hand out sunflower seeds to everyone.

In the beast world, duels between males were common, especially when two males dueled over the mating rights to the same female.

Beast females also enjoyed watching male beastmen fight over them, fighting till blood was drawn, and even death.

This was a symbol of the female's allure. The more they fought, the more they believed the victorious male was powerful and attractive enough, perhaps even capable of becoming their primary mate.

Jin looked coldly at Naxiu, his expression icy and indifferent, his emotions unchanged. Flames flickered in the depths of his deep green eyes, giving off a sense of profound danger.

Just when everyone thought he would continue to suppress his anger as before and be ridiculed, they saw him swing his fist and deliver a heavy blow to Naxiu's face.

“Boom!”

Caught off guard, Naxiu took a fierce punch. He stumbled back two steps, regaining his balance. His handsome face immediately displayed bruising, his eyes reddened.

Swallowing the taste of blood in his throat, he cursed inwardly. This guy actually resorted to a surprise attack.

He then raised his right fist, and the two of them engaged in combat. beastmen were bloodthirsty and aggressive.

When they fought, it was primitive and rough, fists pounding flesh and blows causing bloodshed. The sound of the battle and the scent of aggression on the stone field ignited the wildness within the surrounding beastmen, making them itch to join the thrilling duel.

“Who do you think will win between these two?” Some of the beastmen started to cheer. “

“Of course, it'll be Naxiu. He's a powerful third-tier beast, while Jin, that useless, is only a first-tier beast.”

“Well, I think Naxiu will knock Jin down and bite his neck within three moves!”

“An Yao, who do you hope will win? According to tribal rules, once you're in heat, if you're willing, the winner has the right to become your first partner!”

Micao watched with enthusiasm, her eyes never blinking, as if two handsome males were dueling for her favor.

An Yao's heart was solely focused on Jin.

How could she have time to think about this mess?

She saw blood flowing from the youth's face, nose, and mouth, while Naxiu also took a punch to the abdomen, his handsome face contorting in pain as his nose started to bleed.

She stood up, intending to break up the fight. She was about to shout like the female lead in an old romantic drama, “Stop, stop fighting!”

Oh my god, what awful lines were those?

But the two of them completely ignored her presence.

Instead, her arrival fueled their desire to win and show off even more, making the fight more intense.

Finally, the chieftain stepped in to resolve the situation, and the two of them finally stopped fighting.

Surprisingly, neither of them emerged as the winner, and both were left battered and bruised.

This outcome was unexpected, considering the clear disparity in strength between them. One was a first-tier warrior, and the other was a third-tier warrior.

Theoretically, Naxiu should have dominated, but after all that fighting, they ended up with a draw.

People's opinions of Jin shifted.

Perhaps they had underestimated this waste.

“Are you okay?”

An Yao pulled Jin to a secluded corner, away from prying eyes. She took out alcohol-soaked cotton from her spatial storage and gently cleaned the bruises on his mouth, her eyes filled with concern.

“I'm fine, just some superficial wounds. It's not worth wasting herbs on me.”

Male bodies were strong, and precious herbs were only used for life-threatening injuries.

Generally, herbs were reserved for females. An Yao ignored his protest and continued to clean his wounds.

“Stay still.” The alcohol-soaked cotton stung a bit, causing him to hiss.

He turned his face away, his usually stern expression showing a touch of awkwardness.

In a deep voice, he said, “Female Master... stay away from that male.” He naturally meant Naxiu.

An Yao paused in her movements, her brows furrowing. “I already told him before that I'm not interested in him. But he's still bothering me. If I meet him again, I'll make it clear to him.”

Then she noticed a small gray heart above the youth's head, and the dark aura around it dissipated. Her eyes lit up with delight, and she quickly added fuel to the fire. “There's only you by my side, and I won't seek other males in the tribe. I'm not interested in other males either.”

She was speaking the truth. She was only interested in her mission. After all, she would leave sooner or later, and she had no intention of leaving behind a romantic entanglement here.

The youth's body trembled slightly at her words, seeming as though he'd been shocked.

He stiffened, his cold and handsome face devoid of expression, as if he hadn't quite caught what she had just said.

However, the small gray heart above his head turned into a cute, snow-white heart.
