"You are my female now !" Locus repeated with same cold tone and calm expressions as if it was just a normal and casual thing to state that she was his female !
"Eh... Mr. Big snake , there seems to be a misunderstanding ...." ying yue wondered what made him think that she is his female ? What in the world really ? 'I am literally like a baby snake ! I can't even transform into human form like those beasts here ! What does this snake guy wants from me exactly ?!!' Her thin snake lips twitched at the thought yet she continued explaining her end of the story
" I just plucked and used that white coloured flower to save this dying lion , Jasper here....." she said in a low tone , though snake , her behaviour and expressions were more humanly and adorable too and Locus just stared at her innocent big eyes as she spoke!
When ying yue noticed him staring at her with expressionless face , she was scared and wasn't sure whether he was convinced with her or was he getting even more angry, she really couldn't judge from his impenetrable dark eyes and inscrutable countenance !
"I ... I really didn't knew that it was such an important thing for you ... I didn't even knew that it belonged to someone... I mean .. belonged to you ..." Ying yue again looked at him to see whether he was getting it that it was just the deed she did to save someone's life not knowing that the flower actually belonged to someone?, that he don't need to punish her for just plucking some flower from his home without his permission ! It's not that big of a deal right ?
'Weird big snake !' she thought in her head
He just didn't replied to any of the justification given by her , as if he didn't hear her at all , he just grabbed her tiny snake body in his strong arms , though he grabbed her forcefully and without her consent , he held her really gently making sure his grip on her was not too tight so as not to hurt her even the slightest bit !
Ying yue was shocked at his sudden behaviour , she wiggled her snake body trying to free herself from his grip , off course her efforts were futile and of no use, she didn't even have arms or legs to push him away for god's sake !!
Jasper's golden brown eyes blazed with anger upon seeing that Locus has captured his special guest , his life saviour , his little white flower ...
Though Jasper was kind of immature and would behave like a kid at a times but when he saw that ying yue was captured he growled as he transformed into his beast form and without giving it a second thought, he pounced at the snake beast man like a hungry lion as he would on its prey , completely forgetting the fact that his opponent is not any normal beast but a third level feral beast !
Locus had snake tattoo on his muscular upper arm , clearly meaning that he was third level beast !
Locus was still calm and standing there holding ying yue in his strong embrace , not caring to dodge or make move..
Only when Jasper was nearly three meters away from them , long silver snake tail flew in the air which grappled around Jasper before throwing him in the air and Jasper fell on the ground heavily !
When Locus has came to lions castle the forest was already in uproar seeing furious king cobra snake in their village , as it was rare to see feral beasts in this part of the forest, when Locus stopped at the lions castle , other small animals were already hiding in fear and some who had guts and who liked to enjoy good show were sneakily gathered to see what the commotion was about ! But when they heard the loud roar and growl of Jasper they came out of their hiding circling around the feral beast , even the males those were in the forest ran towards lion castle when they heard Jasper's voice , all of them were in their beast forms !
So what if he is a feral beast ?! how dare he came to their territory and not just that he dared to harm and throw the lion prince Jasper on the ground so violently !
They all showed their rage and were making loud noises with their growls and roars, about to charge at the feral beast !
Locus has transformed his lower half into his long snake tail , still holding ying yue in his grasp , he just used his tail to throw Jasper into the air before him falling in the ground , Jasper's already injured shoulder which was not yet healed completely, started to bleed ...
Other beasts were ready to charge on the Locus but just a glare from Locus' dark eyes were enough to halt them in their places !! Not just that they saw red coloured snake tattoo on his tricep !! 'What ??? He is a third level beast ?!!' They gasped !
Even though they were lot in numbers , they couldn't really stand the chance in front of third level beast ! Very few could reach that level and it meant he was strongest among them right now and it was just the stupid idea to attack him, it was like inviting their own death !
Ying yue was reallly scared to death right now , she felt as if she couldn't breath , as if her airways were obstructed ! 'How strong this snake must be to throw a lion flying into the air ! Even the hundreds of male beasts are not daring to attack him !' She thought in her mind .
Jasper winced in pain but he still did not give up and pounced at the snake once again with his pointy sharp claws ready to pierce into the snake's body !
But this snake did not even think Jasper worthy of being his opponent ! He just carelessly raised his tail once again and with a flick threw Jasper several meters away in the air !
Jasper was already strong enough of a male beast in this village given he was a lion prince and first level beast , having lion tattoo at his leg, rest of them were not even at level one ! So they were no match for the third level feral beast !
Locus did not like to get surrounded by so many people , being a solitary animal ! He just came here to claim his precious flower , get it back and go his way, he never would have thought that he would meet this cute little snake female here , what more she was the one who plucked the flower that he watered with his own venom ! It was anyway meant for his mate ! And he really liked her deep charming emerald eyes !
Ying yue was feeling very anxious right now !
She looked over Locus' shoulders only to find Jasper covered with blood and groaning in pain !
Her eyes started to water looking at his pitiful state !
'This world is dangerously cruel and beastly than was mine !'
'Don't hurt him !!' She wanted to cry this out loudly but no words came out of her mouth...
Only the hot tears trickled down...
Locus noticed the tear that slide through her beautiful eyes ... catching her tear drop on his finger tip he looked at her gently !
He just decided to end it here and get going his way !
He looked at the circle of beasts and they just gave him way , he was ready to take ying yue with him when Jasper attacked him once again ! This time Locus just held him up in the air encircling his snake tail tightly around his soft waist and tightening it gradually !
Ying yue panicked when Jasper looked like he would die any moment if this continued..
"Put him down ! Just let him go !!" She cried at top of her lungs and more tears squeezed out of her eyes !!
Jasper coughed out a blood ...
"I beg of you .. please .... don't kill him !!" She looked at Jasper and then at Locus to plead him
only then he loosened his grip and let go of Jasper ! And with fast and smooth movements he walked away from there ...
Jasper still wanted to chase after but was really hurt and couldn't catch up to Locus' speed ....
