Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 336 - 219: It Seems She Doesn’t Like You + I Believe You
Seeing he had no intention of handing her over, Mi Yin’s expression darkened and his voice turned cold. "I am Jin’er’s mate. Give her to me. Don’t force my hand."
If the other male hadn’t also been a King Beast—and one whose power and aura felt far more profound and potent than his own, who had been a King for less than a year—Mi Yin would have already resorted to his usual methods. True to his nature of acting first and talking later, he would have started throwing punches to snatch her back long ago.
"...You’re her mate?" Ze Sheng slowly mulled over the words. His gaze fell upon the Snake Beast before him as he asked with an unreadable expression.
"Do you see this?" Mi Yin took one of An Jin’s hands and placed it over his own heart, a triumphant smirk gracing his lips. "Not just her mate, but her first mate."
Ze Sheng’s previously breezy smile vanished completely. His gaze landed heavily on the blood-red snake pattern on An Jin’s wrist, and the sight seemed to sting his eyes. Even his breathing grew pained.
Looking somewhat crestfallen, he hastily averted his gaze.
"A mate mark on her wrist?" He lowered his silvery-white lashes, letting out a soft, dismissive chuckle. "It seems you’re not so popular with her either."
His gentle teasing was laced with pure sarcasm.
"..." Mi Yin’s face instantly grew as dark as gathering storm clouds. He tugged at the stiff corners of his mouth, his fists clenching tightly.
This had always been a sore spot, a pain buried deep in his heart. If they hadn’t mated so young, how could his mark possibly be just on her wrist, especially with how much Jin’er liked him?
Seeing that the two were about to come to blows, An Jin, caught between them, hastily spoke up. "W-wait—"
She glanced from one to the other and saw that neither of them looked pleased. ’Has the impostor industry gotten this competitive?’ she wondered. ’Are they really about to fight just to get their hands on me?’
"Jin’er, come with me. I’ll take you home." Mi Yin frowned, grabbing her hand to pull her into his embrace. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
But he found he couldn’t pull her away. He shot a cold look at the gentle-faced Ze Sheng, a corner of his crimson lips twitching. "You won’t hand her over? I don’t mind snatching her, then."
He enjoyed taking back what was his with his own two hands.
"Haven’t you noticed?" Ze Sheng reached out and gently touched the face of the female in his arms. "She’s afraid of you. It seems she’s unwilling to go with you."
Her pallor made his heart ache. Ze Sheng’s eyes darkened slightly as he silently straightened the messy hair at her temples.
’How could his mate possibly be afraid of him?’ Mi Yin was about to curse this annoying, unfamiliar male for spouting nonsense. But in the next second, he caught sight of the female’s uneasy expression from the corner of his eye, and his heart seized with a sharp pain.
"Jin’er, it’s me. I’m the real one..." he said, his voice anxious and cautious, filled with dejection. "I already killed that impostor just now, didn’t you see? Besides, I have your mate mark over my heart."
However, An Jin merely stared at him with a blank face, her eyes filled with complete wariness and suspicion.
He was certain that if she weren’t being held in someone’s arms, she would have instantly backed as far away from him as possible.
Mi Yin took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again with a grim look.
"You see? She is indeed afraid of you."
Ze Sheng soothed the restless female in his arms. His narrow purple eyes were filled with ice, his tone cold and unfriendly. "I hear Wandering Beasts like to steal mates. You didn’t steal her, did you? Otherwise, if you’re the first mate, why is the mate mark on her wrist, the most insignificant location?"
"..." Mi Yin suddenly realized he had no way to refute the accusation.
An Jin just looked up at Ze Sheng, whose mood had obviously improved. "..."
’To be honest, she was wary of them both. Whether it was the Mi Yin or the Ze Sheng in front of her, she regarded them with equal suspicion, assuming both were fakes.’
’She was simply curious to see how the two impostors would try to poach each other’s "business."’
’Of course she wanted to run, but in her current physical condition, there was no way she could escape their grasp. In that case, she might as well see what they were planning to do.’
’If they fought until both were badly injured, that would be for the best. She could use the opportunity to get away from both of them.’
"Since you can’t prove you’re the real one, why don’t we let her choose?" Ze Sheng smiled faintly. The gentle expression on his exceptionally handsome, cool face seemed to instantly brighten the gloomy forest.
’In truth, from the moment the Snake Beast appeared before him, he knew. This wasn’t a phantom made of Demonic Qi, but a real, living being.’
’But he had no intention of saying so.’
Seeing the female’s fear of the Snake Beast and her subconscious reliance on him clearly improved Ze Sheng’s previously sullen mood.
Seeing that she didn’t believe anything he said, Mi Yin was terrified. He feared she would choose that despicable male and give him the cold shoulder as a result.
"Jin’er, come here," he said one last time, suppressing the churning anger and jealousy in his heart. His tone was almost a plea.
An Jin, "..." remained unmoved.
Mi Yin took a deep breath and clenched his hands. He opened his eyes, his face devoid of expression, and decided to throw caution to the wind. "Fine. I’ll talk about things that only the two of us know. You go into heat in the middle of every month, you like to use strips of cotton cloth, and when we mate, your favorite position is..."
"!!!" Her eyes widened in astonishment, and her face instantly flushed red. "Y-y-you! Shut up!" Angry and flustered, she reached out to cover his mouth. ’There’s a stranger here!’ she thought. ’This perverted snake actually—’
Feeling the soft skin covering his lips, his eyelashes fluttered. He looked up at her, a faint smile blooming in his magnificent eyes. "Do you believe me now?"
After saying that, he seized the opportunity to plant a small kiss in the palm of her hand.
An Jin snatched her hand back as if she’d received an electric shock and shot him a look of feigned anger.
Meanwhile, Ze Sheng watched this all unfold, his thin lips pressed into a tight line. His expression darkened slightly, and the fingers resting on her waist tightened unconsciously.
Mi Yin continued as if no one else was present. "If you still don’t believe me, I can tell you much more. I remember the details of every single night perfectly, including..."
"Don’t say any more! I believe you," An Jin said, forced to concede. The fact that he could say such risqué things without batting an eye already had her starting to believe he was the real Mi Yin.
But...
"But I can’t trust you completely, because the three impostors before—especially the last one—could say similar things."
"What?" Mi Yin’s face suddenly turned grim, as terrifying as a violent storm. ’His most cherished memories... those impostors were worthy of knowing them?’
"No matter," he snorted. "I’ll make you believe me. Once I destroy this Illusion Realm, you’ll know I’m real."
Ze Sheng’s gaze fell upon Mi Yin’s blood-stained arm and snake tail. "You’ve met the creators of this Illusion Realm?"
"There are two of them," Mi Yin said flatly. "I just fought with them. If those two hadn’t gotten in my way, I would have been by Jin’er’s side long ago."
The two temporarily put aside their differences, deciding to get her out of the illusion together.
"It seems like their target is me," An Jin said with a frown. She turned to look at Mi Yin, who was staring at a vortex in deep thought. "Actually, just now, I figured something out."
"What is it?" He pulled his gaze away and looked at her.
