Choose Me - chapter 6

After returning home, I anonymously told Tang Xue’s father that she had bought Pei Lang at a high price.

I didn’t want Tang Xue to become what I once was.

Sure enough, within two days, I heard that Tang Xue had been put under confinement.

But the money was already spent, and Tang Xue’s father couldn’t send Pei Lang back to the Black Market. He would surely find a way to earn the money back from Pei Lang.

The Tang Family was just another hell.

At that moment, a servant rushed over, flustered: “Second Miss, something’s wrong! Bai Chuan and Xiao Wei are fighting!”

Xiao Wei, Cheng Yang’s Beastfolk.

I sprang to my feet and followed the servant out to the garden behind the villa.

Not far away, Bai Chuan was pinned under a crabapple tree by Xiao Wei, whose fists, as big as sandbags, pounded down on him again and again.

“Second Miss, please save Bai Chuan, he’ll be beaten to death!” The servant urged me anxiously.

I raised my hand to signal her to be quiet, my gaze locked tightly on Bai Chuan.

After a few days of recuperation, Bai Chuan’s body had mostly recovered.

If he could survive the arena in his previous life with a frail body, how could he possibly be helpless under Xiao Wei now?

He was holding back.

Because he didn’t trust me.

If that’s the case, then I don’t need to save him.

I don’t need a Beastfolk who might stab me in the back.

This first step of trust must be taken by him toward me.

Bai Chuan still didn’t fight back, shielding his head with his arms, the sound of bones breaking piercingly sharp.

He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, saw me.

There was shock and sorrow in his eyes, silently questioning why I wasn’t saving him.

My hand at my side clenched tightly, my lips pressed into a straight line.

Xiao Wei’s fists hammered Bai Chuan’s soft abdomen. Bai Chuan curled up, his sharp, cold eyes watching me through the gaps in the flower bushes.

Seeing blood, the Beastfolk’s nature was hard to suppress; excitement shone in Xiao Wei’s eyes.

The beast ears on his head suddenly popped out, clearly on the verge of frenzy.

I held my breath, my body tense and trembling slightly, gritting my teeth as I stared at Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan, as long as you take this step, I will protect you from now on!

Bai Chuan’s normal pupils gradually turned into snake-like vertical slits, sending chills down my spine.

Just as Xiao Wei lowered his head to bite through Bai Chuan’s throat, Bai Chuan moved.

His legs transformed into a snake’s tail, coiling tightly around Xiao Wei’s body. At the same time, his fangs emerged, sinking without hesitation into Xiao Wei’s neck.

Xiao Wei struggled in pain, his muscles bulging and trembling.

Bai Chuan’s snake tail tightened, squeezing with deadly force.

I saw Xiao Wei’s face visibly turn purple, and in an instant, I understood-Bai Chuan’s fangs were poisonous!

So he was a venomous snake after all.

Cheng Yang arrived late, saw the situation, and shouted coldly, “Bai Chuan, try killing him if you dare!”

I immediately stepped forward, full of momentum: “So what if he does?”
