For a period of the time, Allen locked himself in his room, doing several experiments on his own powers, such that dinner had to be sent directly to him by Ye Shishi.

Ye Shishi could feel a surging heat within her heart. She had too much to ask, but then, when she tried to open her mouth she didn’t know from where to begin. 

She wanted to ask Allen about his and her mother’s relationship but she doesn’t know how to start without being awkward and so, she could only look at Allen reluctantly before leaving through the door.

During these days, she noticed her mother’s ambiguous actions.

For example every morning before leaving, she looks up at the door on Allen’s room with eyes full of ambiguity.

Every evening after work, she stands outside and looks at it again with eyes full of regrets before making dinner, not daring to enter.

She will then asked Ye Shishi about Allen, whether he will go out for dinner, eating his meal, or whether he was asking some things.

Ye Shishi would often ask her about their relationship but Ye Yueshing would just smile wryly and leave. Sometimes she will only answer, “I’m not sure…”

Just what is going on with her mother and Allen? This is really not good…

Ye Shishi was currently feeling conflicted. If her mother did have an ambiguous relationship with Allen, then how would she feel? What would she do? … And what will she think?

She loved her mother but Allen…? How does she feel about him?

Ye Shishi’s mind was a complete mess.

Allen, on the other hand, was behaving normally as if nothing had happened.

Sometimes, he would open his communicator and contact Mia, Alkrasha, Flor or Aileen.

He found out that Aileen, Alicia, and Flor, together with Ms. Grace went with Lieri to Italy and joined their faction temporarily. They were doing some tasks and mission dictated by Mia, and they were slowly getting stronger bit by bit, especially Flor who seemed to have been bonded with her black sword quite well, for some unknown reason.

There was also some surprising information he had heard from Aileen and Ms. Grace. The girls who he and Mia saved before from the goblins; Liezel Bautista, Riza Santos, Imelda Cruz, Flordeliza Ocampo and lastly the girl who was so attached to him; Divina Reyes, contacted Mia and unexpectedly asked for them to join her group.

Except for that one girl Amihan Mendoza, these girls families seemed to have already died already and some were even missing with a small chance of survival, without any choice, they went to Mia.

Mia agreed and sends them a plane to pick them up. Now, they were a member of Mia’s special group.

As for this outcome, Allen could only nod his head in praise. These girls surely have some guts, he praised them for the decision they made.

At the very least, it was better than fighting the pressure of simply being useless in this harsh world.

Everyone wanted to be useful.

Everyone wanted a place where they belonged.

So, these girls determination, Allen couldn’t help but admired them.

After three days of staying in his room, Allen finally went out.

Wearing a black mandarin collar long sleeve Chinese coat, he went to stroll outside. 

The outside was still the same as before. People were busy buzzing around, walking here and there.

The houses and the streets were still bent in deformation, without any regular form. Looking at them, anyone would immediately guess that they were certainly made in haste and without a proper plan.

In addition, due to the lack of any effective drainage measures, the stone roads were interlocked with streams of flowing water, from afar, it resembled many brooks of clear and crystalline water.

Not far away, in the distant mountains and forests were obscured by mist, and were faintly discernible. Gigantism forest could be seen with each tree almost double the size of a normal tree.

Walking on the wet stone street, from time to time there were people looking at him. 

After walking for a few minutes, Allen found a thirteen to fifteen feet high wall being constructed. The wall wasn’t encompassing the whole town but instead, the wall was only covering a small portion of the city.

No matter how you see it, anyone would think that the wall was made for something or maybe some kind of preparation.

On the site were Sun Yueli and Sun Yingyun monitoring the construction’s progress, they sometimes gave out orders to the workers.

Allen casually walked towards them. When Sun Yueli saw Allen he immediately kneeled and said, “Greetings Beast King.”

On the other hand, the moment Sun Yingyun saw him, her eyes turned into a glare. Like unsheathe daggers, they were sharp and deadly.

Of course, Allen ignored her and waved his hand towards Sun Yueli, gesturing him not to do that. The public’s eyes turning to him is very uncomfortable.

“You’re building a wall?”

“Reporting to Beast King, yes. The goal is to ward off the monster’s invasion a few days later”

“Monster’s invasion?” As expected, Allen thought. This city will really be attacked by monsters.

Now then, whether Mia would arrive here faster than the monsters is the problem.

“How long till the monster attacked?”

“4 to 5 days… I guess…”

“I see…”

Monsters huh… I doubt Mia would arrive that fast. She did say that she still has something to do, like a meeting or something before coming here.

I guess, she wouldn’t be able to come in time.

“…why don’t you leave this place? Do you think you can repel them?”

Hearing Allen’s words, Sun Yueli made a bitter smile. “We could leave but with this many people, it would be very difficult. The next city post is still several hundred kilometers at least, so we don’t have a choice but to defend this place.”

Allen shrugged his shoulders at the expected answer.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Surveying the whole place, he noticed several people curiously looking at him.

“But you sure did build a wall so fast, I’m impressed.”

“Well, we did have some capable Superhumans here…”

“… as for the monsters, you don’t need to worry about it. I will lend you my aid.”

“Really?!” Sun Yueli’s eyes started shining as he let out a relieved sigh.

A burden seems to have disappeared on his shoulders.

“Oh, the infamous over godly Beast King who could trample the heavens and split the world in half would lend us a help? That would be an honor.” Sun Yinyun said in a mocking tone.

“Xiao Yun!”

Allen looked at Sun Yingyun with a mysterious smile as if he was hinting at something. Confronting her dagger like gaze, he said leisurely, “…Fortunately, I don’t have any hobby of hurting a woman though unless she did something unforgivable…”

Sun Yingyun sneered.

“… however, if you have a problem with me then I advise you not to show it openly or else…”

Before Allen could finish his words, a fist-sized, golden colored lady bug suddenly appeared out of nowhere and spewed flames from its mouth towards Sun Yingyun.

“Kyaaahhh!!” She was caught off guard and the flames hit her right arm which she reflexively used to block.

“Ahhhh!” She screamed in agony as she flails her arms on the ground.

“Xiao Yun!”

Allen looked at her with a disinterested expression.

The commotion caught the workers and people’s attention as their eyes turned to Sun Yingyun who was wailing like a little child.

“Beast King!” Sun Yueli cried out as he immediately positioned himself between Allen and Sun Yingyun.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Allen shrugged his shoulder and turned his gaze towards golden lady bug.” …this is not my fault.”

“That’s enough,” Allen called out.

The lady bug was still preparing to attack Sun Yingyun but after hearing Allen’s voice, it immediately turned around and flew towards Allen. It then landed on his head.

Allen noticed Sun Yueli’s complicated gaze.

“I said this isn’t my fault. This bug isn’t mine.”

Sun Yueli frowned.

But Allen ignored him and just shrugged with his shoulder nonchalantly. “Just like I said, this [ Golden Dragon Bug ] isn’t mine. It’s just always following and never showing itself… up until now, that is…”

Though I certainly know where this came from…

A beautiful figure appeared on Allen’s mind.

“Following you?”

Allen took the golden lady bug from his head. “Spit.”

He ordered.

The Golden Ladybug wiggled for a moment before it spits a gold colored goo. Scooping it, Allen gave it to Sun Yueli.

“Let her eat this.” He said. “Though this child isn’t mine, it is somehow related to me. So her attack is still my responsibility.”

Sun Yueli nodded his head and took the gold colored goo. He didn’t ask what it was because he also knows what it is.

[ Golden Dragon Bug ] is a very rare and valuable monster for every tamer. Not only it possesses strong flame type ability, it also possesses an ability that could heal any kind of wounds.

Sun Yueli immediately brought the goo to Sun Yingyun’s mouth and after a while, the burns on her arms gradually disappeared as of nothing had happened.

Opening her eyes, she immediately looked at her brother and called out. When her eyes turned to Allen, her whole body trembled and fear colored her face.

Allen ignored her and looked at [ Golden Dragon Bug ], “So, why did you only appear now?”

“?”

“If I’m not wrong, Alkrasha ordered you to monitor me… right?”

The [ Golden Dragon Bug ] let out a tiny sound as if it was responding to Allen’s question.

[ Golden Dragon Bug ] possess high intelligence as they are rumored to be descendants from dragons. Though its rarity is the problem.

These kinds of bugs can be found but not sought.

Even the former Allen only had two of these types of monsters back in the other world and those two was found with great difficulty.

- In the most dangerous continent where dragons roamed freely, [ Dragon Island ]. However, even that. He was still fortunate to even found two and almost died a hundred times catching it.

“Oh well, if you went back tell her that I missed her too…” Allen mused for a moment.

“… …”

The [ Golden Dragon Bug ] flew from his hands and landed on the top of Allen’s head. There it looks for a comfortable position and then laid there like a small golden statue.

At this moment, Allen returned his eyes to Sun Yingyun. “Well, I did warn you beforehand. But, I still need to apologize…”

Sun Yueli closed his eyes and took a deep breath, “I understand Beast King but my sister is also in the fault.”

“Brother!” Sun Yingyun cried out.

Sun Yueli shook his head. “Xiao Yun, this is also your fault. I have already told you before to be polite to the beast king but you didn’t. This punishment is already lenient enough if not you would’ve been dead by now…”

Sun Yingyun’s face paled hearing her brother’s words. Dead?

“I’m not going to go that far, you know~” Allen nonchalantly said.

Sun Yueli bitterly smiled. Yeah, you won’t what about your tamed beasts?

If the Snow Wolf Princess was here or even Salamandra, what would happen to my sister then?

Sun Yueli couldn’t help but shiver. He could still remember that night when they are preparing for war, a celebration was held to let the soldiers relax before the battle.

A drunk man tried to show off and talk about the [ Beast King ] being a lascivious and perverted king because most of his tamed monsters are beautiful female. He talked about things that shouldn’t be said to his superiors and it just happens that a group of Beast King’s followers passed by.

The man was cut to pieces without hesitation and even burned him alive.

That was the last time they had talked bad about the Beast King.

Then a new unspoken rule spread around the [ Dawn Alliance ]. ‘You can gossip about the Kings but never speak any bad words, whether they were true or not, behind the Beast King’s back.’

--- ---

Sun Yingyun hide behind Sun Yueli while looking at Allen with eyes filled with hate and fear. She had never been humiliated like this before!

She wanted to kill Allen but even a fool would know what kind of monster Allen was.

She has never been his match.

She would only die a dog’s death.

Allen noticed the girl’s hatred but he didn’t say anything.

He shrugged his shoulders and eyed Sun Yingyun’s furious, but a pretty face. For some unknown reason, some warmth actually surfaced in his originally icy cold heart once again.

He was currently amused. This girl wanted to bite him but could she do so?

Biting him is ten times stronger than killing a Lv5 monster.

She was like a small cat clawing a mammoth. Of course, as the mammoth himself, he wouldn’t care about her.

“Xiao Yun, become strong and bite me.”

He flashed a fearless smile at her and then turned around to walk towards the dark forest. But the moment he turned around, Allen could see how his counterpart was gnashing her teeth.

“You…” Sun Yingyun’s eyebrows were vertical.

She was immediately enraged at Allen’s words. She waved her sleeves angrily and said, “There will be a time where you will kneel in front of me!”

Allen waved his hand back. “I’ll be waiting for it~”

However, at this moment,

“Wushuang?” A familiar cool sweet voice of a woman suddenly sounded from behind him, causing Allen to halt his footsteps and turn around doubtfully.

Turning his head, Allen saw Ye Yueshing walking towards him.

“What are you doing here ah?” Ye Yuesheng asked with her eyebrows slightly standing.

“Just walking around…” Allen answered.

His voice completely different compared to the one he used when speaking at the Sun siblings.

It was gentle, calm and relaxed.

“Oh, is that so. But why are you heading to the forest ah? That part of the forest is dangerous you know.”

“I can manage,” Allen answered. He suddenly felt something odd…

Ah right!

Ye Yuesheng’s way of speaking is kind of strange!

There’s no distance… of course, by distance, Allen didn’t mean about the literal distance between them but the distance of their relationship.

At first, he was certain that Ye Yuesheng would put a distance from him after what he did but see this scene, she hasn’t put the least bit.

Allen was puzzled.

Ye Yuesheng noticed Allen’s collar looked crooked. She hesitated for a moment before giving the paper she was holding to the guy behind her. With her hands free, she reached out to adjust it for him. She then pulled away a strand of messy hair from his sideburns. These actions were natural, and nothing felt wrong about them.

“I know that you’re strong but that part of the forest is too dangerous if you go alone. Terrifying monsters inhabit that part.”

Her action was too intimate.

For a moment Allen was silent, then he decided it would be for the best if he pretended not to have noticed anything.

There are things in this world better not said.

As a gentleman, whatever strange things women do is always normal. They are illogical creatures after all~

Isn’t it normal for Illogical creatures to do illogical things…

Logical~

Allen did not move and stood here, allowing Ye Yuesheng to adjust his shirt and hair. He closed his eyes, visibly enjoying the care and gentleness of Ye Yuesheng. He felt as if he had gone back in time and this caused him to feel something inside him relax after a long time.

“… I’m fine. Anyway, what about you? What are you doing here?”

“I’m overseeing the construction of this wall ah. I’m a professional architect after all, so this is my job.”

“Was that so?”

Ye Yuesheng nodded her head while smiling, seemingly proud.

“Well, wish you luck then. I’m just going to stroll inside and I won’t take long.”

“Ha, fine,” decided Ye Yuesheng and said while still wearing her kind smile, “ …but be sure to come back tonight. I’m cooking fried rice; I think you won’t like to miss it…”

“I like your fried rice,” after saying that, Allen turned around and started walking towards the forest.

Gradually, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Ye Yuesheng stood on the original spot while watching Allen slowly disappearing into the dense and dark forest.

A long while later, she sighed in an absentminded manner and said softly, “I don’t know what those dreams are and why you are in there. I know that I haven’t met you before but why do I feel as if those dreams are real… why do I feel happy looking at you? Why do I feel as if I owe you a huge debt of gratitude… just who are you, Ye Wushuang…”

Suddenly she laughed bitterly, “I think I’m losing it… though this feeling doesn’t seem so bad at all…”
