nA beastial actually told Song Xiabing to touch his weak point…

nSong Xiabing: “?”

nHe was inwardly wary, suspecting that this was a trick. However, he eventually gave into Shi Qing’s urging and slowly placed his hand on the big fluffy tail.

n“Wu!”

nThe knees of the man whose expression was still twisted with anger immediately softened. He looked like he was about to collapse.

nFortunately, he was quick to grab Song Xiabing’s arm and barely steadied himself at the last second.

nHe used so much force that Song Xiabing wouldn’t have been able to withstand it if his body hadn’t improved during his second awakening. Even so, Shi Qing’s grip was painful to him.

nA frown flashed past his face before disappearing just as quickly. His eyes subconsciously drifted to Shi Qing who was panting and could only stand with his assistance.

nOnly now did he discover the faint flush that had spread across the man’s handsome, honey-coloured visage. His lips were slightly open as he gasped for air.

nIf Song Xiabing wanted to, he could easily take Shi Qing’s life right now.

nHe gave it some serious consideration, but unfortunately, it was not a wise course of action. Shi Qing’s little brothers were close by. If he killed this guy, it was likely he would be next.

nAlas, he had to give up for now.

nIt wasn’t like he hadn’t waited for the right opportunity before. Song Xiabing made a few calculations in his head before showing an expression with the appropriate amount of concern.

n“Boss, are you all right?”

nShi Qing shook his head.

nSo the animal traits of a beastial really are weak points.

nStill…

nThis is so refreshing~

nHe panted, “Touch it again!”

nSong Xiabing had a few ideas about what was going on here. He slightly raised an eyebrow at the handsome man holding his arm who was barely standing up by the skin of his teeth.

nHe asked, “Boss, are you trying to become resistant to your tail being touched through exposure?”

nShi Qing gasped as pleasure flooded his being. However, he still had to pretend to be fierce. He gave Song Xiabing a vicious glare and opened his mouth to speak.

nBut then Song Xiabing suddenly touched that big tail again, from the middle this time.

n“Ah!”

nHis motions were much more sure now. He softly skimmed the soft fur all the way to the tip of the tail.

nThis overwhelming stimulation was enough to render any beastial powerless.

nThe man who always put on a harsh exterior almost immediately shuddered and cried out. His legs went limp, and even his hand gripping Song Xiabing’s arm lost its strength. He let go softly before falling to one side.

nSong Xiabing reached out and steadied him.

nHe and Shi Qing were about the same height, but the other person was completely soft and limp right now. It almost looked like he had Shi Qing in an embrace.

nSong Xiabing looked down slightly at the person he was holding up. Those eyes that always radiated wrath and arrogance were now dazed. A deep flush was spreading across that handsome, chiseled face.

nShi Qing looked like he had become utterly powerless, left to the mercy of others.

nBut only for a moment.

nA few seconds later, clarity returned to his eyes.

nAfter realizing how fragile a sound he had made, the captain’s expression darkened. “Damn, this thing really is powerful!”

nSong Xiabing was still supporting him since his body was still weak.

nSeeing that Shi Qing was cursing, Song Xiabing asked, “Boss, how is it? Is it any easier to resist?”

nThe handsome man he was supporting still didn’t look happy, but at least he replied:

n

n

n“It’s even harder than before.”

nJust as he expected.

nSong Xiabing’s eyes darkened slightly as he made a calculation.

nShi Qing was planning to use him to strengthen this tail.

nAfter all, Shi Qing was stuck with this weakness as long as he still had a tail. No matter how strong his ability was, he would immediately lose if anyone managed to touch it.

nHe was able to hide it before using his beastial ability.

nThat was, before Song Xiabing appeared.

nShi Qing must have thought that since one person could see his tail, who’s to say there wouldn’t be another?

nHe was the captain of the Blazing Thunder Company, and he had made countless enemies. If people found out that he was a beastial, Shi Qing would meet a truly miserable end.

nHe couldn’t cut the tail off without dying too, so he could only try and strengthen it. Touching his own tail wouldn’t work, so that was why Shi Qing chose Song Xiabing, the only other person who knew, to help him.

nAnd as long as he didn’t succeed, Shi Qing wouldn’t kill Song Xiabing. After all, it wasn’t like people who were abandoned by their family, who had a good physique but a trash ability, who were weak-willed (feigned) and knew that he was a beastial grew on trees.

nSong Xiabing figured out what was going on.

nHe didn’t tell Shi Qing that he knew a beastial in the early apocalypse who had attempted something similar. But no matter how they tried to strengthen their animal traits, nothing ever came of it.

nIt was impossible to increase resistance through exposure.

nHe knew this, but why would he tell Shi Qing?

nIn this world, no one wanted Shi Qing dead more than Song Xiabing.

nBut since Shi Qing himself had handed Song Xiabing the opportunity to use him on a silver platter, why wouldn’t he make the most of it before sending Shi Qing to his death?

nEverything Song Xiabing told the Blazing Thunder Company before, about how he was the heir of the Song family and someone whose death they would definitely take revenge for, was a lie.

nHe made it all up.

nEvery single member of the Song family would like nothing more than for him to die already.

nAnd he in turn carved every humiliation they had inflicted upon him deep into his heart.

nAfter Song Xiabing usurped power, he disposed of only a few people and left the majority alone for now. They would be his playthings in due time.

nHe would slowly flay them alive, torturing not only their bodies but their minds as well.

nBut who would’ve thought? The apocalypse suddenly arrived.

nAnd Song Xiabing happened to be away from the Song family when it happened.

nHe missed the opportunity to take control of the Song family and then awakened a trash ability.

nThe Song family hated him to the core. If they knew about his current powerless state, it would be strange for them to not grind his bones to dust.

nThat’s why he didn’t even consider returning to the Song family.

nSong Xiabing intended to lay low for the moment, but he was kidnapped by Shi Qing and his Blazing Thunder Company for ransom before he could do anything.

nFrom the very beginning, Song Xiabing knew that the Song family wouldn’t be paying the ransom. Why would they save someone that they wanted dead?

nHowever, he decided to go with his original plan and pretend to be a cowardly young master. After all, the Blazing Thunder Company most likely wouldn’t kill him after failing to get the ransom. They would probably just kick him out.

nBut then the incident where he found out Shi Qing’s beastial secret occurred.

nBy then, he couldn’t even slip away if he wanted to.

nSong Xiabing definitely hated Shi Qing.

nBut he also hated the Song family.

nAlthough Shi Qing wasn’t a good person by any means, his Blazing Thunder Company was a force to be reckoned with. If Song Xiabing could use him to deal with the Song family…

nIt only took a minute for Song Xiabing to decide on his next course of action. Looking down, he firmly held onto Shi Qing as he suggested warmly:

n“Boss, this doesn’t seem to be working.”

n“What else am I supposed to do then?! Why don’t you make yourself useful and think of something for me, ah!”

nThe boss, who was not in a good mood, tore into him. “Your job is to listen to me and mind your own business!”

nSong Xiabing wasn’t fazed by his attitude at all. With a smile on his lips, he reached for the root of Shi Qing’s tail.

n

n

nThis time, he brushed the tail from root to tip.

n“Uh…wu!!!”

nThe irritated man stiffened like he had been electrocuted. His chest heaved violently as he struggled to catch his breath for some time.

n“See Boss?”

nSong Xiabing still held him up and spoke gently, as if he was sincerely trying to help. “It’s getting worse every time we try.”

nSeeing that Shi Qing was too busy gasping for breath to speak, Song Xiabing continued on himself.

n“I really want to follow Boss, so I also want to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. Why don’t you tell me what your animal basis is so we can treat the problem at the root?”

nThe panting man he was holding pursed his lips at these words. A conflicted expression flickered across his face.

nThe only person who knew a beastial animal basis was usually them.

nDon’t be misled into thinking that all beastials with rabbit ears are rabbit beastials. Animal bases didn’t have to be a species from Earth.

nTake rabbits, for example. There are ice rabbits, flame rabbits, etc.

nIn addition to how beastials become powerless when their animal traits were touched, they also inherited some of the characteristics of their animal basis.

nFor example, ice rabbits were afraid of fire, so ice rabbit beastials would also be afraid of fire. If someone tried to burn them, they would die of fright before the flames even touched them due to their inherited phobia.

nThis was why beastials were so averse to telling others what their animal basis was.

nEspecially those who were still free.

nIf the wrong person found out, they could die from the weaknesses of their animal basis even if their animal traits weren’t touched.

nSong Xiabing was skilled in the art of persuasion. “I know that animal bases aren’t something you usually tell others, but think about it, Boss. Have I done anything to you after discovering your tail? I’m just a useless ability user. I can’t survive without your protection.”

nWhen he saw that Shi Qing was still hesitating, Song Xiabing doubled down.

n“Boss, I also genuinely want to help you overcome this. After all, your fate and mine are linked. If you tell me your animal basis, maybe we can figure something out using its characteristics.”

nHe added, “You don’t have to worry about me betraying you. I hate the Song family to death for abandoning me. Only you, Boss, are willing to take me in. In this world, you are the only one I will never betray.”

nHis voice was mellow and seductive. “Besides, I don’t have what it takes even if I wanted to, ah. Boss, your ability’s already at level seven. You could crush me with one finger…”

nShi Qing looked up a bit. His forehead was still perspiring tiny beads of sweat.

nHe said in between pants, “Don’t try to pull a fast one on Laozi. How could you not hate me for locking you in the water prison for three days.”

nYes, of course he did.

nHe would like nothing more than to kill Shi Qing on the spot.

nUnfortunately, Shi Qing was still of use to him.

nA pure smile blossomed on Song Xiabing’s pretty face. “Boss, I’m the one who pissed you off so I have only myself to blame. If I really hated you, I would’ve killed you already while you were like this.”

n“But I didn’t, did I?”

nShi Qing was still panting a bit, but most of his doubts seemed to have been assuaged. He sighed deeply.

n“The phantom fox.”

n“My animal basis is the phantom fox.”

nThe system quietly blubbered: Host, did you remember wrong? Your animal basis is the alpine fox, ah. The one that runs really fast.

nShi Qing: Don’t worry, I know. Your host’s memory hasn’t become that bad yet.

nSong Xiabing narrowed his eyes slightly. “The phantom fox?”

nHe’s never heard of such an animal before.

n“Right.” The man he was holding had resentment written all over his handsome face, clearly upset at becoming a beastial.

nSong Xiabing’s original intention was to dig up more dirt on Shi Qing to hold over the man’s head.

nBut now Shi Qing was telling him about a species he hadn’t heard of before.

nThat made things more difficult.

nHis expression didn’t change, though. He continued to ask, “Then Boss, do you know the characteristics of the phantom fox?”

nA flash of embarrassment appeared on Shi Qing’s face. He turned his head away. “I don’t.”

nHow could a beastial not know the characteristics of their animal basis?

nOne look was all it took for Song Xiabing to know that Shi Qing was hiding something. He made a note of this in the back of his mind instead of questioning further.

n“Since there’s no other way, it seems we’ll have to use your exposure method, Boss.”

nShi Qing scowled. “Fuck! So all this was a waste of time. You sure talked a bunch of bull**.”

n“Yes, Boss. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

nThe youth smoothly took on the blame as his slender and fair hand covered the large, fiery red tail of the person he was holding up.

n“Boss, why don’t we see if a bit more force would make it easier?”

n“Fuck! Wait!”

nA hint of fear flashed across the handsome face of the man who hadn’t recovered from earlier yet.

nHis body subconsciously shrank back, but his expression remained intimidating. “Laozi hasn’t caught my breath yet.”

n“All the more reason to do it now, ah. This way we can see what happens when your tail is touched before you’ve recovered. Would it be easier to handle or…”

nNearly emotionlessly, Song Xiabing used a few fractions more force to stroke the fiery red tail from root to tip again.

n“AHHH!!”

nThe strong and handsome man let out a pitiful scream. He almost sobbed as he collapsed into Song Xiabing’s arms.

nSong Xiabing asked him, “Boss, how do you feel now?”

n“You, you!”

nShi Qing couldn’t respond for quite some time. His breathing was so laboured that he seemed to be consuming all the air around him.

nSong Xiabing: “Why don’t we try it again going the opposite direction? Maybe something unexpected would happen then.”

nA look of unconcealable terror flashed across the face of the man he was holding. He tried to avoid the inevitable by shifting his powerless body away.

n“No! Wait, wait a minute… Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!”

nSong Xiabing’s hand slowly worked its way from the tip of the tail to the root.

nThe long, white fingers interspersed between handfuls of soft, fiery red fur was unexpectedly attractive.

nSurprised, Song Xiabing stroked from root to tip again.

nHe hadn’t even noticed it before.

nThis tail looked like it would be pleasing to touch, and it was.

nNo wonder people said that beastials with tails were the most popular type kept as pets.

nEven a tall, handsome man with honey-coloured skin and a six-pack like Shi Qing was a little more alluring thanks to his tail.

nSong Xiabing looked at the person in his arms again after removing his hand. Shi Qing was a dizzy, panting mess that couldn’t even make noises anymore.

nSong Xiabing: “Are you okay, Boss? How do you feel now?”

nShi Qing was in heaven, ah~

nIf he could, he would stay in this world for a hundred years.

n

nRain

nWhy does it feel like I just sat in on a sadomasochist session. Just replace his tail with you-know-what and uh… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
