Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female-Chapter 136: Vanished

Is anyone ever going to do something about this?

It was as if her thought had been answered. The moment Yuna finished speaking, a tall but pale-faced male came running over from the opposite direction. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Yuna, who was still clinging to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was still wondering how to cut ties with Yuna when she looked up and met a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Before she could react, however, Ares, who had been standing silently beside her, suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her to his side, and partially shielded her with his body.

In that instant, Lu Xiao felt a sudden shift in Ares’s presence.

Yuna saw Lu Xiao being pulled away by Ares and was about to say something when she sensed someone approaching from behind.

She subconsciously glanced back and met a pair of bloodshot eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took a step back, demanding, "Sharp, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home?"

"Why did you lie to me, Yuna? I love you so much, I gave you my all! Why did you lie to me? Where’s Babbit? Where are you hiding him? He has the guts to seduce you, but not the guts to face me?" As he spoke these words, Sharp’s expression shifted between sorrow and ferocity.

He looked completely unhinged.

Lu Xiao frowned, a faint suspicion forming in her mind.

"Can you please stop letting your imagination run wild? My relationship with Babbit isn’t what you think it is at all. I didn’t even come here with him today. I’m with my friends. Look, they’re right here." Yuna pointed toward Lu Xiao and Ares.

Sharp glanced at Lu Xiao and Ares with his bloodshot eyes. His dark pupils trembled with emotion—a subtle detail, but one that Ares, as a male, still caught.

His grip on Lu Xiao’s wrist tightened unconsciously.

Lu Xiao looked up at Ares’s clenched jaw. She could clearly sense his tension.

"You lied to me. You lied to me again! Yuna, I gave you everything, and this is how you treat me? I should have known you females are all heartless. But I was the biggest fool, the biggest fool, for believing your damn lies..." As Sharp finished speaking, two streams of clear tears rolled down his cheeks.

Yuna, annoyed by his behavior, snapped, "Are you done yet? You don’t believe a word I say, so what else do you want me to say? If you keep making such an unreasonable scene, we’re breaking up! My patience has its limits!"

After saying this, Yuna irritably ran a hand through her hair. Then, she froze. Her expression suddenly turned unnatural, and there was even a hint of fear in it.

Ares and Lu Xiao both sensed something was wrong. They followed Yuna’s gaze and saw another tall male walking toward them, a wide smile on his face and two ice cream cones in his hand.

Lu Xiao’s heart sank. ’You’ve got to be kidding me,’ she thought.

But soon enough, they heard the man call out, "Yuna, I found your favorite taro-flavored ice cream! Aren’t you hap—"

The last syllable died in his throat as he saw Sharp turn his head.

The brilliant smile on Babbit’s face froze. His steps faltered. "...Sh-Sharp, listen to me, it’s not what you think..."

"I treated you as a friend, and you betrayed me! You deserve to die, Babbit!" By the end of his sentence, Lu Xiao thought Sharp’s voice no longer sounded human. And indeed, as he lunged at Babbit, Sharp transformed in mid-air into a giant bird of prey about two meters in size—a Golden Eagle.

This was the first time Lu Xiao had ever seen a Beastman fully transform.

Her mind went completely blank, all thought processes shutting down. ’So this is what it looks like when a Beastman takes their animal form!’

But she was given no time to dwell on it. Ares reacted in a flash, scooping her up and leaping away from the vortex of the fight.

At the same time, an alarm began to blare throughout the vast Camellia Sea Park.

Cradled in Ares’s arms, Lu Xiao came back to her senses and instinctively clutched the front of his shirt. "That male, Sharp... did he lose control?"

Ares pressed his lips together. "You can’t go over there. A Beastman who has lost control has no reason."

Ares didn’t say that the killing would only truly begin after their locked-on target was dead.

Lu Xiao knew what Ares was worried about. "Do you really think I’m that much of a bleeding heart? Anyone can see you don’t get involved in something like this. I’d like to stay alive, thank you very much. I’m not about to go serve myself up on a platter."

Lu Xiao was well aware of her own capabilities. With things having escalated this far, forcing her way in would be suicide, wouldn’t it?

She didn’t have a savior complex.

Ares found a giant camellia tree and set Lu Xiao down behind it. Before he could speak, Lu Xiao figured it out. "Are you going over there?"

As a Major General of the Empire, it was his duty to handle a situation like this unfolding before his eyes.

But he was also very worried about Lu Xiao’s safety.

"Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. Go check it out. We don’t want this to turn into a major incident."

Ares hesitated before saying, "Wait for me here. The alarm just went off, so a security team will be here to investigate soon. I’ll be back quickly."

"Okay. I won’t wander off where you can’t find me." Lu Xiao didn’t actually think she’d be in any danger without Ares, but seeing how tense he was, she could only do her best to reassure him.

Hearing this, Ares finally nodded and turned to leave.

Watching Ares go, Lu Xiao found a thick tree trunk to sit on. Then she realized that in their hurry to get away, they had forgotten to grab the bento box with their lunch. She wondered if it would get caught in the crossfire.

With this thought, Lu Xiao sighed. It was so rare for her and Ares to get a chance to go on a date, and then they had to run into something like this. She recalled the self-righteous things Yuna had said to her just moments ago.

Lu Xiao found it laughable. Was this "female nature" she spoke of all about making two males lose control and fight over her?

Did that bring her some kind of inner satisfaction?

Lu Xiao couldn’t understand it. All she knew was that Yuna was toying with people’s hearts.

"Hey, what’s a person like you doing here all alone?"

Lu Xiao was deep in thought when she suddenly heard the question. She turned her head instinctively, and a white handkerchief was pressed over her mouth and nose.

By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.

In the second before she lost consciousness, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but wonder, ’When Ares can’t find me, is he going to cry?’

The moment Lu Xiao fainted, she was caught by a slender male. If she had opened her eyes right then, she would have surely recognized him as Platinum—the one she had helped at the Female Protection Association, who had been harassed and framed by Beixian.

However, Platinum’s aura now was completely different from what she had seen that day.

Someone beside him urged, "We need to leave now. This area will be locked down soon."

Platinum nodded, took a black cloth from the other person, wrapped up the small female in his arms, and then boarded a hovercar waiting nearby.
