56: This is too intense in broad daylight!

The sounds inside the warehouse finally died down.

Tana was guarding outside, her cheeks flushed, muttering, "In the middle of the day... that was too intense."

After quite a while longer, the warehouse door was finally pushed open.

Bai Yao walked out, her steps slightly unsteady, and exhaustion radiating from her entire body.

Her hair was disheveled, and her neck and collarbone were covered in suggestive red marks; anyone with eyes could tell what kind of madness had just transpired.

Tana teased with a smirk, "Yours... is really something else."

Bai Yao rolled her eyes at her, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Even though she was from the modern world, this was her first time in an abandoned warehouse in broad daylight, where they could be walked in on at any moment.

Because of the drug's effects and exhaustion, Lin had not yet woken up, so Bai Yao had to wait outside, taking the opportunity to tidy her disheveled clothes and calm her thoughts.

Tana's beast husbands also came looking for them at this time, having learned what had happened.

Tana asked cautiously, "Yao Yao, how do you plan to deal with Dora?"

Bai Yao's eyes turned cold, "This time, she cannot be let off lightly. I could overlook the previous petty squabbles, but drugging my beast husband and attempting to force herself on him..."

Plus, if Lin's identity were really exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So this time, Dora must be dealt with.

She paused, a chill rising in her heart—was the power of the original plot truly so strong, and was Lin and Dora's entanglement fated to happen?

If she had arrived a step later... She didn't dare to dwell on it, shaking her head subconsciously and telling herself that Lin would never hurt her. It was fortunate that she had stopped it in time.

"But,"

Tana asked, confused, "Dora has always been stuck-up and never looked at Lin before, so why would she suddenly drug him?"

This sentence woke Bai Yao up.

"It is indeed strange. With Dora's personality, she would never go to such lengths for a mediocre Wolf Beast, unless..."

Her heart sank, "Did she discover Lin's identity? Or does Lin have something she wants?"

But how could that be possible? Lin's true identity is far away in the Northern Region, and this is the Central Region; besides, Lin himself has lost his memory...

While she was contemplating, the warehouse door was slammed open with a loud bang.

Lin stumbled out, his clothes disheveled, his face devoid of color, and his eyes filled with panic and despair.

When he woke up, his memory was still stuck on the chaotic fragments of being drugged by Dora and forcibly dragged into the warehouse...

Later, did he seem to hear Bai Yao's voice?

Could it be...

"Awake?" Bai Yao looked at him calmly.

Lin's throat tightened, his voice dry, "Just now... I..."

"As you can see." Bai Yao's tone was indifferent.

This sentence struck Lin's heart like a heavy hammer.

She saw it? She thought he and Dora...

"Could it be that just now... I was with Dora?"

A tremendous fear seized him, and he became incoherent in his panic, "Yao Yao, listen to my explanation, it was Dora who drugged me! I would never betray you, I would rather die than..."

Seeing him so anxious that his eyes turned red, appearing completely at a loss, Bai Yao realized he had misunderstood.

Her heart softened, and she interrupted him directly, "What are you thinking? Are you still thinking about having something with Dora?"

"I didn't!"

Lin immediately denied it.

Bai Yao stopped teasing him, hugged his arm, revealed the red marks on her neck, and said directly:

"Look closely, it was me who was with you just now."

Lin was stunned; the massive turn of events left him unable to react for a moment.

"You don't believe me?"

Bai Yao pointed to his waist, "Check if your mate mark has changed."

Lin hurriedly lifted the corner of his garment, only to see that the fox mark belonging to Bai Yao was still clear, without the slightest change.

He instantly let out a sigh of relief, and after the immense relief, a belated shyness surged up.

"Just now... he was actually with Yao Yao here..."

Thinking of this, Lin's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"We just now... really..."

His voice grew quieter and quieter.

Bai Yao nodded affirmatively.

Thinking of everything that happened inside the warehouse, her own ears felt a bit hot, but she forced herself to remain calm:

"Anyway, you are my mate, this is normal. But I am very dissatisfied that it was in a place like this... Next time, it is not allowed."

The expected blame did not come; instead, this request, laced with coquettishness, made Lin's heart heat up, and he quickly promised:

"There will absolutely not be a next time."

"Wait, no, next time it won't be in a place like this..."

"Let's go,"

Seeing him at a loss, Bai Yao turned and pulled him away.

She really didn't want to stay in this place at all.

"We should go to the Tribe and demand justice from Dora."

On the way back, Bai Yao asked for details.

Afraid that she would misunderstand, Lin quickly and carefully recounted how Dora had pestered him and taken the opportunity to drug him, though his memory after the drug took effect was indeed blurred.

Bai Yao nodded and squeezed his hand, "I believe you. This time, I will definitely not let her off easily."

However, as soon as they returned to the Tribe's residential area, they sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and many beasts were pointing and whispering at them.

Bai Yao sneered inwardly; it seemed someone had played the victim first.

Sure enough, as soon as they reached the front of the Chief's house, they heard Dora's sobbing voice coming from inside.

Dora and her beast husband were standing beside the Chief; seeing Bai Yao and Lin appear together, especially seeing that Lin was clearly unharmed and his mark had not changed.

Dora's eyes almost spat fire, but she pretended to be even more aggrieved on her face.

The Chief looked at Bai Yao and Lin with a serious expression, "Dora says that Lin intended to force her; is this true?"

Lin was so angry that his fists were clenched tight; he stepped forward to refute, but was gently held back by Bai Yao.

Bai Yao met the Chief's gaze calmly, "Chief, please investigate clearly. Was it Dora who drugged my beast husband, or did Lin force her?"

"I think she and her beast husband know best in their hearts."

Her gaze swept toward Dora.

"Oh. That's right, Tana saw it too just now."

"Of course, you might think Tana is my friend and suspect her of covering for me, but Dora's beast husband can testify, right?"

Tana, who had been named, nodded desperately.

"I can testify."

Dora, as if her tail had been stepped on, retorted shrilly:

"What a joke, you are all in this together. As an outstanding Female, would I go and drug your beast husband? Is he worthy? It was clearly him who took advantage of me when I was off guard and attempted to act improperly."

Dora assumed that Bai Yao had no substantive evidence and that Tana's testimony would not count.

The onlookers from the Tribe began to whisper among themselves.

"Yeah, if Dora had other intentions toward Lin, why act only now?"

"And Dora is our Tribe's most outstanding Female, while Lin..."

"No matter how you look at it, it's impossible..."

...

It was clear that everyone was more willing to believe Dora's words; after all, looking at the current situation, Dora's words seemed more credible.

Bai Yao did not get angry, but stepped forward, locking onto Dora's flickering eyes,

"In that case, Dora, do you dare to swear by the name of the beast god?"
