nIn the fantasy world that Xia Xibei was reborn into for her second life, there were animal-trainers and royal botanists. People who had both skills were called naturalists.

n

n

nIt could be because of her memory that she had a strong mental power to become a rare naturalist.

n

n

nEven though her skills in this area were almost non-existent after being reborn, controlling a few feral cats and dogs was still really easy.

n

n

nXia Xibei wasn’t moved by the screams coming from behind her. She kept walking forward.

n

n

nHowever, as she passed another alley, a few footsteps came.

n

n

n“Get him! He’s in front! Don’t let him get away!”

n

n

nXia Xibei frowned. She didn’t want to face these people, so she carefully darted away.

n

n

nAs she got close to a raft of bamboo, the scent of blood rushed to her nose.

n

n

nBefore she could react, a hand had pulled her into the raft of bamboo.

n

n

n“Shhh…”

n

n

nA low-pitched voice sounded, and before she could speak, he hugged her and covered her mouth.

n

n

nA masculine scent filled her nostrils along with the thick scent of blood.

n

n

nThe footsteps outside got closer. They were headed toward them.

n

n

nXia Xibei was angry, but she couldn’t let those people get close to them. They might think she was with the man.

n

n

nHer brows moved.

n

n

n“Over there!”

n

n

nSomeone yelled, followed by others running in another direction.

n

n

nAfter making the feral cats and dogs lead the people away, Xia Xibei felt dizzy and her body went limp.

n

n

nShe would have fallen on the ground if the man didn’t catch her.

n

n

nHowever, their pose was a little suggestive.

n

n

nXia Xibei was very thin, but she wasn’t short. She was almost 170 cm.

n

n

nThe man, however, was taller. She could feel his energy over her head, giving her goosebumps. He was also quite strong, with a wide and solid chest.

n

n

nWhen Xia Xibei had been pulled in here earlier, she didn’t struggle; she just tried to maintain some distance from him.

n

n

nNow, she was too weak to stand from her exertion. She could only lean on him. There was almost no space between them.

n

n

nSuch an ambiguous posture was already embarrassing, but what made Xia Xibei ashamed and annoyed was that the man’s body seemed to have changed!

n

n

nThe air seemed to have frozen as the two of them leaned together.

n

n

nConfirming that those people had left, she pressed against the man’s chest and pushed him away.

n

n

n“Hm!”

n

n

nThe man grunted. There was more blood on his belly now.

n

n

nPa pa pa!

n

n

nThe bamboo raft fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and bringing up a lot of dust.

n

n

nXia Xibei finally saw the man.

n

n

nHe was at least 185 cm tall. He had a lean figure and angular features, slanted and strong brows, deep and sharp eyes, thin lips, and a frown that made him look like an emperor overlooking the world from his throne, exuding arrogance.

n

n

nToo bad the blood stains and the mess made his strength ridiculous.

n

n

nWhen Xia Xibei clearly saw the man’s face, her gaze changed.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue. People called him Master Jue!

n

n

nThe Qiao family was renowned for its wealth in the country of Hua, and he was a mogul of the business world, which frightened people.

n

n

nExcept, when she thought of Qiao Yanjue’s relationship with a certain person, she wished that she could have made those people chasing him come back!

n

n

nXia Xibei’s gaze made Qiao Yanjue frown. He hesitated. “You know me?”

n

n

n“I don’t know you.” Xia Xibei’s face was unchanged.

n

n

nOf course, Qiao Yanjue didn’t believe her. He could tell that the young woman wasn’t telling the truth.

n

n

nHowever, he had no time to ponder this as his injury became worse.

n

n

nHis body shook. Xia Xibei didn’t have time to think: she strode forward and supported him.
