Zayne and she locked eyes for quite a while, yet he didn’t willfully ask her to make it up to him. Instead, he asked gently, “Wanna spend some time with me?”

As it turned out, his “charm offensive” took Nyx by surprise and worked surprisingly well.

She had wanted to go back home to rest after sending Theon off; yet before she realized it, she had already nodded and agreed to a walk with Zayne. Looking down, she saw her hand in Zayne’s big palm.

Garden Square, the largest square on Central Planet, was located outside the Palace. It used to be the Royal Garden but was later opened to the public and greatly expanded. With colorful flowers that Females adored throughout the year, it became Beastmen’s dating mecca.

Females were difficult to please; they wouldn’t agree to a Male’s invitation to date easily. Those who came to Garden Square in pairs to take a walk were either in love or at least had a thing for each other.

Zayne, having an ulterior motive, coaxed Nyx into coming here with him.

It was the first time Nyx had seen so many couples ever since she crossed over. She was too shy to see them dating, but obviously, her eyes and ears had their own ideas.

Not far away, a Female was scolding her partner for the scorching sun. Meanwhile, another Female slapped her partner in the face because the drink was unsatisfying.

Nyx was stunned; she knew Male inferiority was what was believed on this planet, yet it was only now that it became so vivid. To her, they weren’t like couples out for fun; instead, they were more like bossy, arrogant princesses with their deferential slaves.

As she observed them imperceptibly, she didn’t know someone was watching her at the same time. She, the pretty Young Female, walked hand–in–hand with a Male here in the garden, attracting the attention of countless passers–by.

Whenever they came across plant varieties she had never seen on Earth, she’d stop and listen to Zayne tell her about them. The more they walked, the more she was impressed by his knowledge–he knew so much though he wasn’t an expert on plants at all.

She looked up at him with unabashed adoration.

Those around were shocked to see such a look in a Female’s eyes. They were used to the Females‘ gazes being contemptuous, disgusted, and condescending.

Occasionally–if they were lucky enough–they’d catch a glimpse of warmth in Females‘ eyes, but it lasted shorter than a shooting star. However, Nyx treated Zayne so tenderly with a gentle smile on her face all the time.

Zayne instantly became the happiest and luckiest Male on Garden Square, envied crazily by other Males. He looked straight away, but no one could miss the undisguised, joyful smile on his face.

The fresh air lightened Nyx’s mood, and she made up her mind to go for a walk more often.

She looked down at a tuft of fluffy powder–blue flowers, and the petals fluttered in the gentle breeze. She couldn’t help but squat, wanting to use Intelligent Brain to take a few photos from different angles to savor such a moment.

Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of something white in the bushes not far away, causing her to turn to look in that direction right away.

+13 09:34 Fae, 11 Feb рае, Chapter 28 The bushes over there were of a variety not found on Earth, dense, tall, and vigorous, not a patch of them was white. She rubbed her eyes, figuring she had seen wrong and not dwelling on it.

Garden Square was so vast that she felt tired before they covered one–tenth of the area. Slumping into a bench, she was about to close her eyes and have a snooze for a while when, suddenly, a burning hand grasped her calf She shivered, reflexively pulled away her leg, and sat upright, staring into the eyes of the half–kneeling Zayne in shock.

Looking calm, he spread his hands slightly to prove his innocence–he just wanted to massage and relax her tight muscles. His eyes dimmed as she dodged, but he soon smiled gently, “Come to me whenever you wanna give it a go?

He was quite a pro when massaging; it wasn’t just because he studied medicine. More than that, he had recently studied massage specifically for her. Males must master numerous means to please Females, and he was catching up as he had fallen behind too much.

Neither of them noticed the eyes of a ferocious beast staring at them from the bushes in the southwest corner.

After resting for several minutes, they were ready to go home. As Zayne took the small Aircraft out of the Space Button, a gust of wind blew, swirling several fallen leaves into the air. Subconsciously, Nyx looked over and saw something white again.

This time, she caught a better glimpse of it, figuring it was an animal with white fur, but she didn’t exactly know what it was, for it moved so fast that it vanished instantly.

She blinked hard and looked around; however, it was nowhere to be seen. Pausing for a second, she tugged at Zayne’s sleeve.

“Did you see any small animals? It’s white.”

Zayne immediately darted around. As one of the best among Male Beastmen, who were known for their keen senses, he was way more observant than she was; yet after quite a while, he just shook his head. “No.”

Perhaps there was one once, but it must be gone now, far from them no less. Or, there was another possibility–though negligible–that it was more powerful than he was and could even evade his senses.

Whether such animals existed in the universe wasn’t definite, but he was sure there were none on Central Planet. Animals more powerful than S–level Males simply didn’t exist unless it was an SS–level Male in his beast form.

Yet there were only a handful of SS–level Beastmen in the Empire, all bigwigs. Why would any of them be here in his beast form? Zayne ruled out the possibility instinctively.

Nyx rubbed the bridge of her nose when hearing Zayne’s response; perhaps she was hallucinating. After all, she knew exactly he was way more observant than her.

But she missed one possibility–the reason why only she could see the beast was because it only wanted her to see it.

After Zayne and Nyx left in the small Aircraft, other visitors on the Garden Square began to leave as well. It was almost lunchtime, and no Male wanted to starve his matron by failing his duty.

As the crowd dispersed, the bushes rustled perhaps because of the force of the wind, or maybe something was lurking inside.

A white tiger appeared silently among the bushes. Even during the day, it was as elusive as a ghost, making fools of seekers as if it were the hunter.

As it slowly walked out of the bushes, it stared intently in the direction Nyx’s Aircraft left, its eyes clear, blue, and icy.

Its huge size reminded the others of a lofty mountain, and the markings on its body were slightly different from those of 2/3 09:35 Te, 11 Feb Chapter 28 Kiu ordinary tigers, making it more mysterious and stronger.

It lowered its head and sniffed repeatedly on the bench where Nyx had sat. Squinting, it lifted its paw and then put it downs with hesitation. After several seconds, it rubbed its head against the bench, leaving its smell on it while picking up Nyx s Finally, it locked in the direction. Making up its mind, it turned into a misty white shadow and chased after the Aircraft Pae, 11 Feb Chapter 29
