Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

130 Night Watch

“Don’t be nervous.” Li Ruoying lowered her eyes and looked at him gently. “I’m only here to ensure your safety.”

“What do you mean by that?” Shen Fei frowned and looked at Li Ruoying with wariness. The last time he saw her, Shen Fei already felt that something was off. He did not know what she was planning.

“Didn’t I tell you before?” Li Ruoying said with a blank expression. “Don’t go anywhere you’ve been. You’d better not go near the water, or else a lot of bad things will happen.”

“How did you know?” Shen Fei slowly let go of the dagger and curiously evaluated Li Ruoying.

“This is what I smell from you.” The expression on Li Ruoying’s face was unusually calm. “The smellier a person, the worse their luck. By the way, the unpleasant smell on your body has not dissipated. Danger is still following you.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei immediately frowned. ‘Could the danger she’s referring to be Lear?’

First, the smell on his body was very similar to Lear’s. Secondly, Lear had always wanted to take his life.

“Is there any other smell on my body besides this?” Shen Fei curiously looked at Li Ruoying. Since she could smell it, she could sense that someone was going to make a move on him. It would not be a bad idea to test the waters and see what the other young masters wanted from him.

Li Ruoying sat on the spot and shook her head in distress. “I can’t smell anything else for now. Maybe it’s because the stench in the air has been too strong recently. I can’t smell anything else anymore…”

“The stench in the air?” Shen Fei looked at her in confusion.

“It’s the disgusting smell that’s coming from there!” Li Ruoying stretched out her hand and pointed at the distance. Her expression also became worried. “The smell inside is getting stronger and stronger. They’ll be out soon.”

Shen Fei nodded his head in understanding. The “they” she was talking about was probably referring to the remaining exotic beasts in the wormhole. It seemed that something big was about to happen.

“Don’t worry.” Shen Fei knelt down on his sleeping bag and slowly lay down. “There are so many people here, even if the exotic beasts really came here, there will be no major problems. Go back and sleep first. Come back and discuss these things with me tomorrow.”

After saying this, Shen Fei yawned. He was really sleepy. After dealing with all these things, he just wanted to sleep first. Shen Fei closed his eyes and turned around in his sleeping bag.

However, Shen Fei had just fallen asleep when Li Ruoying, who was at the side, poked his face hard.

“Wake up, don’t sleep.” Li Ruoying grabbed his arm a bit forcefully. “The unpleasant smell on your body hasn’t dissipated. It’s dangerous to sleep.”

Shen Fei closed his eyes tightly and fretfully slapped Li Ruoying’s hand away. “If you don’t let me sleep, I’ll be too tired to fight tomorrow, which will be even more dangerous.”

“No!” Li Ruoying gripped Shen Fei’s arm tightly. It was so painful that Shen Fei grimaced. “Until the smell dissipates, I can’t let you face any danger!”

Shen Fei sat up and looked at her with an annoyed expression. He was better off without Li Ruoying’s “gratitude”.

‘Forget it.’ Shen Fei held his forehead and yawned lazily. At most, he would change his sleeping location tonight.

“If you really want to repay my kindness, then wait here obediently.”

“Alright, benefactor, I’ll wait for you here.”

“Good.” Shen Fei hastily nodded his head and quickly walked out of the tent.

…

At the lookout post, Luo Ying sighed and sat beside Qian Yu, looking at the wounds on his body with heartache.

“I didn’t expect so many things to happen tonight. Have you recovered from the injuries you suffered in the wormhole yet?”

“It’s only been half a day, how could it be that fast?” Qian Yu looked at Luo Ying exasperatedly.

The injuries caused by the exotic Beasts were slow to heal. In addition, when he fought Lear earlier, there was a slight pull on his injury. This time, the recovery was even slower.

At the thought of this, Qian Yu rubbed her temples in distress. He had originally planned to use the cold spring water to relieve the pain, but he did not expect Lear to ambush them.

‘That Lear seems to have changed too much…’

Qian Yu could not help but shiver when he recalled the Lear he had seen earlier. He had only been missing in the secret realm for two days. How did he become like that? Could it be that he was being controlled by that exotic beast of unknown origin?

“Alright, I’ll reapply the medicine for you. Don’t waste it this time.” Luo Ying looked at Qian Yu with concern and clapped her hands gently, then a mayfly suddenly appeared in the air. The chromatic green mayfly flapped its transparent wings and gently landed on Luo Ying’s fingertips.

“Go.” Luo Ying flicked the mayfly onto Qian Yu’s wound.

The moment the mayfly hit the wound, it spread its wings and bent its body, then spat a mouthful of green liquid directly onto his wound.

“Your healing skills are still so useful.” Qian Yu sighed as he looked at the wound that was healing visibly.

“This is one of my best skills.” Luo Ying looked at Qian Yu gently and smiled. She picked up a roll of bandages and carefully applied it on him.

“Senior Luo Ying, Qian Yu.” Shen Fei pushed open the door of the lookout post. “Do you have any extra beds for me to rest on?”

“What’s wrong?” Qian Yu quickly stood up and walked toward Shen Fei. “You’re not used to sleeping in a tent?”

“That’s not the reason.” Shen Fei shook his head and simply placed a sleeping bag on an empty bed. Now, he finally had a place to rest for a while.

“I let someone else sleep in my tent temporarily, so I came here to rest.”

Qian Yu held his chin and made a guess out of curiosity. “…Is the person you’re talking about, Li Ruoying?”

“That’s right. She said that I would be in danger if I fell asleep, so she didn’t let me sleep.” Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders.

“What a coincidence.” Qian Yu clapped his hands, followed by a bark of laughter. “I was also forced out of bed by her. She said that there’s a strange smell on my body, and this strange smell means that I’ll encounter many dangers. Maybe I’d better stay up.”

At this point, Qian Yu yawned drowsily, picked up the clothes beside him, and put them on.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with her. Ever since she came back from the isolation room, she’s been mumbling to herself like this… It’s so annoying.” Qian Yu sighed helplessly.

“If she’s going to bother me every day, I’d rather let her stay in the isolation room.”

“Don’t say that kind of thing.” Luo Ying frowned and applied the green liquid on his injured arm with a bit more force than usual.
