“We're almost there, just ahead.”
The magic beasts nearby were all too strong, with many already reaching Tier 9.
She even spotted one with a truly terrifying size. She wasn't sure how it compared to the tiger she was riding.
The Zerg still needed time to level up. This was a perfect opportunity to see if she could get these kings to give her a little special treatment, allowing her to expand outside.
After all, if she didn't kill enough magic beasts, she wouldn't have enough high-energy crystals, making it difficult to upgrade the hive.
While she could seize a fair amount from the kingdom, it was ultimately limited.
As she thought this, the big tiger stopped in a particular area.
In the distance were stretches of trees, many reaching fifty or sixty meters high. They were connected in vast groves, creating a truly spectacular sight.
Many white tigers were lounging nearby.
After Xia Jin jumped down, the one before her transformed into human form.
Just then, two other humanoid figures approached.
One was a male about the same age as the white tiger, and the other was a black-haired girl with a faint red tint to her hair.
Both were very good-looking.
“Big brother, did you kidnap a human from outside?” The girl narrowed her eyes as she looked at the humanoid tiger.
“This is a mythic king I met outside who took human form. I brought her here for a visit.”
Halfway through his explanation, the big tiger realized the male magic beast king was staring intently at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin, speechless from the gaze, was about to speak when the big tiger snorted. “Magic Wolf King, don't go getting ideas. I brought her back. If you dare hurt her, you know the consequences.”
“How could I? She's too beautiful.”
The Magic Wolf King walked up eagerly and extended a hand. “Beautiful lady, would you give me a chance to pursue you?”
Xia Jin: “...”
“I... I'm sorry, I have no plans for romance.” She feigned anxiety and took a half-step back.
Damn it, why are all you magic beasts like this?
“Lord Wolf!” The black-haired girl looked at the guy in disbelief. “Didn't you just say yesterday that you wanted to pursue me? This is unacceptable!”
“Magic beasts change, and love follows one's instincts. This lady makes my heart race. Taking human form on the forest outskirts all by herself... it couldn't have been easy. As a male, I feel obligated to provide her with a better life. White Tiger King, love is a fair competition. Since you like her too, let's see who has the most skill. Whoever wins her heart, she belongs to. Just don't try anything by force!” The Magic Wolf King glared fiercely at the White Tiger King. In the next moment, he transformed into a massive black-furred wolf and winked at Xia Jin.
“My lady, look at my heroic posture. Am I worthy of you?”
Xia Jin: “...”
No, you dog... I mean, wolf-head, you're talking to me about a heroic posture?
The guy even tossed his head to show off his “hairstyle.”
It reminded her of the husky she had back home before she transmigrated.
“You...”
The black-haired girl was utterly shocked by his sudden change of heart.
She glared venomously at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin gave an awkward smile, her expression saying it really wasn't her fault.
However, the girl soon frowned and rubbed her chin. “She really is quite pretty.”
“Of course she is. She's the one I set my sights on,” the big white tiger said, starting to feel anxious.
He hadn't expected to encounter a rival the moment he brought her back.
This was his territory; he had planned to bring her here to slowly build a relationship. Now this new guy was making things difficult.
Just then, another massive magic beast flew over.
Yes, it was flying—a great eagle.
After landing, the massive eagle head lowered to look closely at Xia Jin.
“Eagle King, what's the meaning of this?”
The White Tiger King stepped forward aggressively.
“She's not your lover yet, is she? Then I am also qualified to pursue her.”
Xia Jin: “...”
Crap.
What is happening?
An eagle?
Seeing the eagle's beak approach, Xia Jin took two steps back.
“Dammit, don't scare her!” the Magic Wolf King yelled angrily. “She's so fragile, only Tier 5. One poke from that beak and you'll kill her.”
“True. You're not thinking of kissing her with that, are you?” the White Tiger King added.
“My lady, which of the three of us do you think is worthy of you?”
The Eagle King looked over seriously.
“Erm...”
None of you.
I just came to scout for information. You don't actually think I'm here for a relationship, do you?
While Xia Jin was agonizing over what to say, the black-haired girl suddenly stepped in.
“I've decided. I'm going to pursue her too.”
Magic Wolf King: “???”
White Tiger King: “???”
Eagle King: “???”
“If you guys can do it, why can't I? Magic Wolf King, you shameless bastard, you dare change your mind right in front of me? Fine, I'll steal the person you like. I'll make you watch as the girl you love becomes my girlfriend. Not only that, I'll invite you to attend my wedding in person!”
After speaking, the black-haired mythic king girl glared at him.
“Wait, Xiao Long, isn't that a bit much?”
“You're the one who went too far!”
The black-haired girl, Xiao Long, snorted and looked at Xia Jin with equal seriousness. “Who do you choose?”
Rate on N.U.
