I Came to Find My Mate

"I'm scared. I don't want to meet your leader."

Bai Zhenzhen's voice grew quieter and quieter, and the sight of her made one want nothing more than to cherish her.

"I-I'm all right. That's not what I meant. I'm all right..."

Lang Yan's gaze grew even gentler. "I won't hurt you, Zhenzhen. You're so beautiful. How could I bear to hurt you?"

The other two evil beasts looked at her, so delicate that she seemed ready to shatter at a touch, and their hearts softened without their noticing.

Lang Yan wrapped a long arm around the soft female. "Zhenzhen, if you don't come with us, we won't be able to answer to our leader. Don't worry, we'll protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."

The shimmer of tears had yet to leave Bai Zhenzhen's eyes as she raised her fair, delicate face.

"I know you're a good beast, but I'm scared. If your leader really wants to take me as his mate, why didn't he come himself? What if... what if..."

"I know I shouldn't say this, but... but what if you stayed..."

Tears welled in her eyes. "I-I won't put you in a difficult position. I just like the Fierce Tiger Tribe too much."

Lang Yan swallowed. "Zhenzhen, did you just say you wanted me to stay?"

"I don't want to put you in a difficult position, but..." Bai Zhenzhen glanced at Xiong Mu beside her, her gaze full of admiration.

Xiong Mu's brown eyes widened slightly under her gaze, and the tips of his ears reddened. The little female's skin was as white as snow in the cold season. She was petite and delicate, easy to bully, and tears shimmered in her phoenix eyes.

After he was expelled from the Bear Bear Tribe, he had wandered with the evil beasts. He had never thought of having a female, but now, that unfamiliar stirring in his heart wanted her.

In the distance, Hu Zhi's lips curved. "Female Zhenzhen, thank you for everything you've done for the tribe.

"Even if every one of us has to die, we'll never let them take you away. But if they want to join the tribe, I can let bygones be bygones."

The other tiger males chimed in. "That's right, female Zhenzhen. Even if we all die in battle, we won't let the evil beasts take you away."

Hu Yun and Bao Feng exchanged a glance, confirmation flashing in their eyes. Zhenzhen wanted to take in these three sixth-rank beasts...

Lang Yan's green eyes narrowed. "Zhenzhen, do you really not mind that we're evil beasts?"

Bai Zhenzhen gave him a sweet, lingering smile. "You're a good beast. Why would I mind?"

[The system was speechless. Host, the one you're supposed to win over is their leader, the second male lead, not these three evil beasts.]

Bai Zhenzhen: These three are sixth-rank. They're much stronger than Hu Yun, Bao Feng and the others.

I've already transmigrated to the beast world, so why bother being reserved? Besides, it's legal to have as many beast husbands as you want here. I'm even making a contribution to the beast world.

[The system pressed a hand to its forehead again: Confirmed. You're the greediest of all the hosts I've ever bound.]

Lang Yan, Wu Jing and Xiong Mu exchanged glances before lowering their eyes to Bai Zhenzhen.

"Are you sure? If you try to cut our beast marks after we become mates, you know the consequences."

Bai Zhenzhen began to cry again, limp and boneless. "As long as you don't hurt my mates or my tribe, I can become your mate right now."

Lang Yan could hardly believe it. She... she had actually agreed. Lang Yan looked at Xiong Mu, and Xiong Mu looked at Bai Zhenzhen.

Hu Yun saw the flicker of delight in his mate's phoenix eyes. He wanted to dissuade her, but he didn't know how. Evil beastmen had no sense of belonging after wandering for so long, and they were extremely brutal when forming a mating bond.

Everything that followed fell naturally into place. The Fierce Tiger Tribe was saved, Bai Zhenzhen gained three sixth-rank mates, and the people of the tribe thanked her.

Only this time, instead of the beautiful singing from before, there were wails for three days as the bonds were formed.

After the mating was complete, Lang Yan left.

The next day, Lang Yan returned, his face bruised and swollen, bringing the handsome scorpion beastman Xie Ying with him.

Xie Ying was close to reaching the seventh rank. He was handsome and powerful, and Bai Zhenzhen fell for him at first sight.

He truly was worthy of being one of the male leads.

As soon as the scorpion beastman entered the cave, he drove Hu Yun, Bao Ying and the others out and began forming a mating bond.

After forming the bond, Xie Ying, together with Lang Yan, Xiong Mu and Wu Jing, ransacked the Fierce Tiger Tribe and left with Bai Zhenzhen, leaving behind poor Hu Yun and the other eight beast husbands.

Hu Yun and the others couldn't accept it, and from then on, they set out on the long road to find their mate.

The Fierce Tiger Tribe had lost more than it gained, but the chief was somewhat relieved. With Bai Zhenzhen gone, the tribe had returned to normal, and its people could live peacefully as before.

So the chief told the tribespeople to hurry and recover from their injuries, so they could set out for Beast City as soon as possible to attend the mating ceremony and have the females bring back some powerful beast husbands to strengthen the tribe.

Feng Rumeng stood in front of the cave, looking at the open space ahead. She had sorted things out now. It turned out she had transmigrated into the beast world as a passerby A in the cracks between beast-world novels.

Bai Zhenzhen was the female lead of [The Scheming White Lotus of the Beast World Is Not Redeemed], Bai Feifei was the female lead of [I Was Reborn as a Fat Female in the Beast World], and Gao Yue was the female lead of [I Collect Powerhouses in the Beast World].

If the plot continued like this, before long, there would also be Chuchu, Yuanyuan, Luoluo, Yueyue, Shengsheng...

Several female leads would descend one after another.

She, a mere passerby A, had nothing to do with the events of any of the books. She wasn't mentioned in so much as a single word.

So she had transmigrated to the beast world as an onlooker eating melons, taking part in none of the plots! She would watch the protagonists of each book make grand careers and fall in love in the beast world!

Feng Rumeng thought the protagonists could play out their legends while she lived her own peaceful life.

Then she thought about it and realized that wasn't right. Gao Yue and Bai Zhenzhen, for instance, could be called selfish and self-serving. Not every female lead had a contented heart.

She pondered it. In the future, she had better stay away from that group of halo-bearing female leads, lest she, an onlooker eating melons, be caught in their light and become firewood on their path to being doted on by all.

She was utterly and absolutely certain that she had to leave the Fierce Tiger Tribe, the starting point for the female leads, as early as possible.

The next day, the atmosphere in the tribe was tense, and everyone felt so oppressed they could hardly breathe, because trouble had come for them again.

A ninth-rank powerhouse, someone they had only heard of in legends, had arrived, his pressure even stronger than that of the golden eagle beastman from Beast King City.

When the powerhouse walked in, the chief and the tribespeople bowed their heads lower than ever before. They even breathed cautiously, afraid that if the powerhouse grew unhappy, he would send them to meet the Beast God.

The powerhouse had cool, aloof features, and his voice was calm. "I came to find my mate. You don't need to be afraid. I won't hurt you."

With that, he walked toward the westernmost corner of the tribe. The chief and Hu Feng exchanged a glance, their eyes wide with shock. That was the black female's cave.

They sprang up and followed him, and the elders behind them followed with their heads lowered.

In front of the cave, Feng Rumeng was hanging up clothes she had just washed.

A breeze blew, sending long, deep-blue hair sweeping from behind her neck across Feng Rumeng's fair cheek.

She turned her head and saw a face beautiful enough to enchant all living beings.
