Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Chapter 261: Protecting the Duke

They hastily gripped their tools, holding them defensively in front of themselves.

Bi Yue was stunned. "Dad? Why are you still here?"

Bi He strode over and twisted her ear hard. "You little brat! I told you to go, but you didn’t. Why’d you run off? I knew you’d be hiding here with Bai Su!"

"You’re coming with me to Qin City! I’ve already arranged everything over there. If you give me any more of your stubborn attitude, I’ll break your damn legs!"

In a situation like this, it was only natural for parents to want their children in a safer place.

Compared to the defenseless females around Bai Su, the prophesied savior of the Beast God in Qin City was obviously the safer bet.

The other females couldn’t help but look at Bi Yue with envy.

After all, especially in times this tough, it was incredibly rare to have parents who would protect you and plan for your future with all their heart.

Having her ear twisted in front of so many people, Bi Yue’s face burned with embarrassment. "I’m not going! You can go by yourself!"

Bi He’s eyes bulged in anger. "Say that again, I dare you!"

Whimpering and clutching her ear, Bi Yue yelled, "None of you are going, so why should I? I won’t go!"

Hearing this, Bai Su paused and looked at Bi He and his men. "You aren’t going to Qin City?"

An uncomfortable look crossed Bi He’s face. "Ahem... We’re not!"

Bai Su was confused. "Why not?"

Bi He cleared his throat. "Well, even though you’ve been a bad influence on my daughter, teaching her all kinds of nonsense, you’re still a benefactor to the Bear Clan. And I promised Leader Lu I would protect his wife."

"And... and besides, it’s our duty as males to protect females. I don’t get all that messy drama you young people have on the internet. What can a bunch of young females like you do? If we left, who would protect this city? Who would protect you?"

Bi He looked awkward. Clearly, he wasn’t used to saying such sentimental things, and it made him feel a bit embarrassed.

He was the one who used to call Lu Tingyan all the time to complain about Bai Su being a bad influence on his daughter.

But all that talk was just talk. When it came to what truly mattered, he never faltered.

The males behind him also looked a bit awkward.

It was as if they were afraid of being rejected by the females.

Although the online atmosphere had been toxic recently and relations between males and females were tense, they truly meant no harm.

Some among them had recovered from disabilities because of Bai Su’s food, even becoming well enough to reenlist.

Others had friends or family who were able to return to a normal life, stepping back into the light, all thanks to Bai Su.

Some were even able to have children of their own because of her food.

No matter what anyone else thought, they could never forget their debt to Bai Su.

Bi Yue was furious. "None of you are leaving, but you insist on me going alone! What am I supposed to do there? Be an orphan?"

Bi He was so angry his thick beard trembled. "What nonsense is that?"

He grabbed Bi Yue by the back of her collar, looking ready to stuff her in a box and carry her off.

With a swift move, Bi Yue dropped to the ground, her back pressed flat against the dirt, kicking up a cloud of dust. "I’m not going! I’m not going, even if you kill me!"

"You might as well kill me! Go on, do it! Kill me right now!"

"I’m still not going!"

"Bai Su said if you try to force me, I should drop my pants and take a crap on the spot! That’ll stop you in your tracks!"

Bai Su, suddenly dragged into the conversation, hastily covered her face and turned away.

Bai Ruxin’s face went pale. She stared at Bai Su in shock and hissed in a low voice, "You even taught her to do *that*?"

Bai Su felt terribly wronged. "What I said was, if Bi He tried to force her to marry someone she didn’t like, she could use that trick to scare the guy away."

"How is that the same thing?"

Bai Ruxin: "..."

’Is the specific situation really the point here?’

’It’s the method that’s the problem!’

Bai Su couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. ’That girl can be so dense sometimes. Now that she’s used this trick, what’s she going to do later on?’

Bai Ruxin: "..."

’Sometimes, you’re just left speechless.’

Yan Qingya craned her neck to get a better look and froze. "Dad? Brothers? Why are you back?"

Behind Yan Hongyi were his two sons, Yan Tai and Yan Jiu, along with an elite squad.

When Yan Hongyi saw Bi He, he snorted. "Damn it! If I hadn’t snuck back, you damned blind bear would’ve gotten to play the hero all by yourself!"

Bai Su immediately understood the situation, and a wave of gratitude washed over her. "Thank you for coming back."

Yan Hongyi gave her a respectful nod. "Rest assured, Duke Bai Su. The Lion Beastman Tribe swears undying loyalty to you and Leader Lu."

"However, please forgive my selfishness. The personal loyalty of the Yan Family cannot drag our entire tribe down to be buried with us."

That was why he had first escorted the rest of the Lion Beastmen to Qin City by helicopter, leaving behind only a ten-man elite squad to return and help.

What he hadn’t expected was for his daughter, Yan Qingya, to be here. He had watched her get on the helicopter with his own eyes.

’That little brat!’

Yan Qingya quickly ducked behind Bai Su. "Why are you glaring at me? You came back, too!"

Yan Hongyi was left speechless.

Everyone exchanged glances, and after a moment of strained silence, they all burst into laughter.

"So what if we die? It’s not a big deal!"

"We swear to protect Duke Bai Su to the death!"

Bai Su looked at them, deeply moved. "Don’t worry. I’m here. I won’t let any of you get hurt."

Seeing this, the other females also began to relax their guard.

These males seemed different from the aggressive ones online.

’If Bai Su trusts them, then we can trust them, too!’

Everyone laughed, but no one really took Bai Su’s words to heart.

After all, no matter how high her Level was, she was still just a female.

’Protecting everyone from harm—that was a job for them, the males!’
