A chapter will be released early for each coffee treated as a thank you gift. Thank you everyone for the support and comments!
What was he thinking just now, to just chew it like that?
He was so foolish!
And he was even seen by his future fiancé. Would he think he’s stupid?
Bai Ren looked worriedly at Mo Yi, but seeing the fondness still evident in his eyes, he relaxed slightly.
He knew it. His charm was greater after all. Forget about it, forget about it!
He hoped such a trivial matter of directly eating crystals would be forgotten soon!
Bai Ren prayed silently in his heart, but then he saw the beastman opposite him unfasten his backpack, rummage through it, and take out several pieces of crystals of different colors.
Mo Yi remembered that the original owner’s backpack also contained some, which were found during exploration. Originally, he intended to take them back to Luo Naimei. But now that they were in his hands, he decided not to give them to that insincere guy and instead give them to his companion.
Thinking of how much Bai Ren seemed to enjoy the crystals just now, Mo Yi generously took out all the crystals from his backpack and offered them to him.
“Here, have them. Eat them quickly! You seemed to really enjoy eating them just now, didn’t you?”
Bai Ren: …
After a moment of silence, seeing the anticipation in Mo Yi’s eyes, Bai Ren still couldn’t express that he actually didn’t need to eat them anymore. He remembered he could absorb them directly.
One by one, he reluctantly stuffed the crystals into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Bai Ren felt a sourness in his heart as he forced himself to swallow the crystals, unable to hold back his tears.
[I’m just doing it for the sake of you being my future wife. Change it to someone else, and I would beat them up!]
The energy inside these crystals is actually just a drop in the bucket for repairing Bai Ren’s injuries, but after absorbing them, it has also healed some of the hidden injuries, making Bai Ren feel much better. But now his stomach feels a bit bloated…
“Wow, you’ve eaten them all! That’s wonderful. My dear Baibai, let’s go now!” Mo Yi lovingly lifted up the slightly heavier little octopus, looking around unsure where to place him.
Besides his combat suit and backpack, Mo Yi had no other option, he couldn’t possibly put his companion in the bag.
In the end, Mo Yi directly discussed with Bai Ren, “Where would you like to be? There might not be any water on the way, but I’ll try to get it as soon as possible. You can stay in my palm, or where would you like to cling?”
“Blop, blop!” Bai Ren waved his tentacles, pointing at Mo Yi’s shoulder, making his intentions clear.
No way, as a prince of the sea tribe, how could he be carried around like this? This method was too embarrassing.
Even if he didn’t sit on the beastman’s head, he had to be on his shoulder, a golden position that befitted his noble status.

Hmm, also, he could declare his sovereignty, letting everyone know that this beastman belonged to him.

As soon as Mo Yi returned to the base, he saw Luo Naimei and Zhuang Lute, whom he had encountered before. Not wanting to deal with these two, Mo Yi chose to ignore them, but to his surprise, Luo Naimei came up to him directly.
Seeing him, still looking surprised, Luo Naimei greeted him warmly, pointing to a corner inside and saying, “Mo Yi, you’re back! Picard and Crowley are back too, with different exploration materials. Mo Yi, didn’t you pick up a black crystal earlier? Take it out and show us!”
“Ah, I’m just doing it for the sake of you being my future fiancé. Let me try changing to someone else, and I won’t beat them up!”
Oh no, the purple crystal is so hard!
The energy inside these crystals is actually just a drop in the bucket for repairing Bai Ren’s injuries, but after absorbing them, it has also healed some of the hidden injuries, making Bai Ren feel much better. But now his stomach feels a bit bloated…
“Wow, you’ve eaten them all! That’s wonderful, my dear Bai Bai, let’s go!” Mo Yi lovingly lifted up the slightly heavier little octopus, looking around unsure where to place him.
Besides his combat suit and backpack, Mo Yi had no other option, he couldn’t possibly put his companion in the bag.
In the end, Mo Yi directly discussed with Bai Ren, “Where would you like to be? There might not be any water on the way, but I’ll try to get back as soon as possible. You can stay in my palm, or where would you like to cling?”
“Blop, blop!” Bai Ren waved his tentacles, pointing at Mo Yi’s shoulder, making his intentions clear.
No way, as a prince of the sea tribe, how could he be carried around like this? This method was too weak.
Even if he didn’t sit on the beastman’s head, he had to be on his shoulder, a golden position that befitted his noble status.
Hmm, also, he could declare his sovereignty, letting everyone know that this beastman belonged to him.
Bai Ren happily climbed onto Mo Yi’s shoulder.
Mo Yi supported Bai Ren a few times, initially feeling a bit worried and walking slowly.
But then he realized that Bai Ren’s tentacles had suckers, which allowed him to cling to Mo Yi’s shoulder firmly and securely. Mo Yi finally felt relieved and picked up the pace, taking Bai Ren back to the location where the spaceship was parked.
As soon as Mo Yi returned to the spaceship, he saw Luo Naimei and Zhuang Lute, whom he had encountered before. Not wanting to deal with these two, Mo Yi chose to ignore them, but to his surprise, Luo Naimei came up to him directly.
Seeing him, still looking surprised, Luo Naimei greeted him warmly, pointing to a corner inside and saying, “Mo Yi, you’re back! Pica and Crowley are back too, with different exploration materials. Mo Yi, didn’t you pick up a black crystal earlier? Take it out and show us!”
Seeing Luo Naimei’s expression, as well as the two individuals standing behind him who were obviously close to him, Mo Yi raised an eyebrow, and he could roughly guess what Luo Naimei was plotting.
These two individuals were considered strong members of the team in the original host’s memories, but later, for some inexplicable reason, they both became pursuers of Luo Naimei, just like that Zhuang Lute.
Luo Naimei was adept at playing both sides, giving everyone opportunities but hadn’t made a choice among them yet. However, to outsiders, it seemed that Luo Naimei had a closer relationship with Mo Yi, as they had both come out of the orphanage together.
Sure enough, when the two beastmen across from him looked at him, there was a hint of hostility in their eyes.
If it were the original host, he might have ignored or not cared about it, but Mo Yi had no interest in being used as a shield by this guy.
He simply dodged the hand the other party tried to grab him with and said, “There’s nothing to see. I found a few places that might have crystals, and as for the black crystal you mentioned, I’ve already absorbed it.”
“Already absorbed?” Luo Naimei’s eyes widened at the words, and his voice involuntarily raised.
Black crystals are rare because they can’t be produced in large quantities. Even if a mine is found, there might only be one or two black crystals, or none at all.
The chance of directly finding black crystals is almost nonexistent, so Luo Naimei had been hoping to obtain that black crystal. He thought that when the others returned, a few words of persuasion might be enough, and even if just for the sake of face, Mo Yi would hand over the black crystal. But the result was that this guy actually said he had already absorbed it!
“Yes, I’ve absorbed it. Is there a problem?” Mo Yi’s tone was particularly casual.
They had an exploration task, but the task was only to determine whether there were crystal mineral resources on this planet. It was normal for them to use what they found themselves, and they were allowed to do so.
Like Mo Yi, even though he obtained a rare black crystal, it was only one piece, and considering it his spoils of war or reward was not unreasonable.
“No, no problem,” Luo Naimei gritted his teeth in response.
His companion, Crowley, behind him, sneered, “Oh, look at this. He used to pretend to be a caring brother, but now that he has something good, he just uses it himself and forgets about Luo Naimei, huh?
Luo Naimei, come over here. I found some citrine, not as good as black crystal, but the quality is decent. I saved it for you.”
“Okay, thank you, Crowley.” Luo Naimei forced a smile, but in reality, his heart was bleeding at the thought of the black crystal.
Even though this citrine was decent, it couldn’t compare to the energy of the black crystal. Even the lowest quality black crystal had several times the energy of citrine.
Crowley’s beast form was a vulture, which looked somewhat ugly, so most of the time, he walked in humanoid form and didn’t show his beast characteristics.
Perhaps because he didn’t like his beast form, he made himself very flamboyant in humanoid form. He always styled his hair meticulously, and his speech emphasized elegance, sounding somewhat forced.
If it were a handsome guy, it would be understandable, but on someone with average looks, a shrill voice, and a skinny figure like a bamboo pole, it seemed a bit strange.
Watching Crowley’s demeanor, Mo Yi couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Unbeknownst to him, he thought he was watching a palace drama. Who did he think he was? A concubine fighting for favor?
Saying such jealous and sour words didn’t seem like a warrior of the beastmen.
With a bored glance at Crowley, Mo Yi said, “Crowley, fix your hair. Your bald spot is showing.”
As luck would have it, right after Mo Yi spoke, the spacecraft’s hatch was opened again, and someone burst in, bringing a gust of wind that happened to mess up Crowley’s hair even more.
Now, the bald spot that was barely visible became even noticeable.
“Hahaha, Crowley, your bald spot rivals my grandpa’s now!” The man who entered laughed openly.
“Shamelessly wanting things from Mo Yi again? You’re all like parasites, really disgusting.”
Crowley panicked, covering his head and forgetting about the bag of citrine he was holding. His face turned red, and he even let out a startled sound in his beast form due to his nervousness.
After regaining his composure, Crowley shouted towards Mo Yi and the person who had just barged in, “Mo Yi, Benedict, remember this!”
Then, hastily covering his head, he rushed away from the scene. Luo Naimei could only watch as the citrine he almost had in his hands slipped away, and the smile on his face couldn’t be maintained any longer.
“Benedict, how could you say that? We weren’t asking Mo Yi for anything. Crowley just wanted to show me the citrine he found,” Luo Naimei said to the short-haired young man who had just entered.
Benedict sneered at the explanation, clearly not buying it.
Hearing the familiar name, Mo Yi was quite impressed. In the original host’s memories, this person was one of his good friends and the only one who had warned him about feeling uneasy around Luo Naimei.
Benedict often spoke up for the original host and had helped him quite a bit, making him a friend worth having.
Mo Yi glanced at him and noticed that he seemed to be about the same age, looking spirited. He remembered that Benedict’s beast form was a silver wolf, quite majestic.
Of course, not as majestic as himself. Who said a dog couldn’t match a wolf? They clearly hadn’t met Mo Yi!
However, Mo Yi was willing to get to know someone with good judgment like Benedict. Before he could say anything, Benedict exclaimed, pointing behind Mo Yi, “Wow, Mo Yi, what’s that little creature behind you!”
“Huh?”
Mo Yi realized that his companion was still sleeping on his back.
Previously, Little Octopus was on his shoulder, but seeing that he seemed a bit tired, Mo Yi let him crawl onto his neck. Plus, having the backpack behind him could support him.
In fact, Bai Ren had awakened when Mo Yi entered the spacecraft, but facing the unfamiliar environment, he had no intention of revealing himself yet. His race was naturally adept at hiding and could even change color to blend into the surroundings.
By hiding behind Mo Yi, he naturally went unnoticed. But unexpectedly, he was spotted by the person who came in later.
“Squawk!” Bai Ren protested to Benedict with a huff, waving his tentacle in agitation.
[You’re the little creature, your whole family is! I’m the husband of this beastman!]
Mo Yi felt a bit displeased hearing Benedict’s remark, so he shot the white-haired man a glare. “If you have nothing nice to say, then keep quiet. Baibai is adorable, not little!”
As he spoke, Mo Yi gently stroked Bai Ren’s head with his hand.
Seeing this, Benedict smirked, finding his friend’s taste rather peculiar. He wondered where Mo Yi had acquired such a strange pet.
Before Benedict could say anything, Luo Naimei screamed from nearby. He was trembling, pointing at Bai Ren on Mo Yi’s shoulder with shaking fingers.
Mo Yi remembered that this Luo Naimei had always detested soft-bodied creatures since childhood, like his companion. He would get goosebumps just from seeing them.
“Mo Yi, what is that thing? It’s just… too cute…” Luo Naimei stammered.
Benedict looked at Luo Naimei in astonishment. The expression on his face seemed twisted at first, clearly indicating disgust. But by the end, it appeared as though something had abruptly changed his mind, turning his disgust into admiration.
However, Mo Yi didn’t think so. Upon hearing this overly enthusiastic praise from the heavily biased Luo Naimei, he became instantly cautious.
Was this annoying little dwarf trying to steal his companion?
Mo Yi quickly reached out to protect Bai Ren’s head, shielding it from Luo Naimei’s sight, and glared at him fiercely. “He’s mine!”
Bai Ren: Squawk, squawk, squawk~
[Haha! Yet another beastman charmed by this prince’s allure. Don’t worry, my dear future queen, I am a faithful companion~ (*^-^*)]
Bai Rens brain hole is the same size as his body this arc

Luo is screwed, there’s no place for a third wheel in this relationship! Mo Yi will fight hard for his companion!
