Chapter 164: Chapter 164: True Identity
Speaking up to this point, Bai Zheng’s mouth curved into a gloomy smile, "But even if he manages to get the cub back, it’s already too late!"
Rini asked with some confusion, "Why?"
"Hmph, do you remember when we caught the cub? I made it ingest a type of herbal medicine."
Rini nodded.
The sinister smile on Bai Zheng’s face became increasingly conspicuous, "That herbal medicine, before departing, was given to me by the priest. After taking it, it would make any beastman turn foolish. Can you imagine Lord Wen’s reaction when he discovers the fool he has traded the gold crystal stone for? Hahahaha..."
At his comment, Rini’s pupils slightly dilated.
He had originally thought that the herbs could merely make the cub fall into a deep sleep and stop it from becoming noisy, but to his surprise, the consequences were far harsher?
Looking at Bai Zheng, who started laughing loudly despite obviously having harmed an innocent cub.
A hint of complexity flickered in Rini’s eyes. His whole body was tense, faintly trembling, as unsettling scenarios played in his mind.
They had brought a few dozen beast soldiers this time to Tiger Valley. Yet, in order to ensure the safety of Bai Zheng, they lost soldier after soldier.
Yes! He understood! The death of these beast soldiers had nothing to do with Bai Zheng!
What truly angered him, however, was Bai Zheng’s attitude towards them.
Even though they risked their lives to protect him, in Bai Zheng’s mouth, they were referred to as nothing more than ’trash’!
A touch of melancholy crossed Rini’s heart...
He originally belonged to the Diamond Bear Clan, but the attack by the Ten Thousands Beast Country on their tribe led to the death and injury of many fellow tribesmen.
He had even descended to the level of becoming a soldier for the Ten Thousands Beast Country, never seeing a fellow tribesman again!
What a ludicrous joke!
Yet, he had no choice. Only by gaining the trust of the country’s lord could he get close to him, thereby amassing enough strength to kill him and avenge the innocent tribesmen of the Diamond Tribe!
The Ten Thousands Beast Country also possessed cultivation methods that could enhance his own strength, so despite his distaste for Bai Zheng’s actions, he had to stay.
Feeling himself growing overly agitated, Rini forcefully suppressed his emotions to avoid drawing suspicion.
Suddenly, noticing a change at the entrance of the cave, he glanced sideways only to see the young female who was living in the cave, fleeing in a hurry.
Rini’s eyebrows furrowed in concern and he instinctively wanted to pursue her, but then thought better of it and casually stepped back to where he had been standing.
...
Liu Ye’s face turned pale as she stumbled towards Gaiyin’s cave in a hurry.
She had only wanted to sneak into the cave under the pretense of delivering roast meat and retrieve the aloe leaf given to her by Su Tang. Unexpectedly, she ended up overhearing the conversation between the two beastmen!
Her mind was in utter chaos, yet she knew clearly that she had to inform the tribe’s chief about this as soon as possible!
Perhaps due to her nerves, she failed to watch her step and tripped on something. Liu Ye fell heavily to the ground, the roast meat in her hands flying far away.
Red Fruit rushed to help Liu Ye up, her face filled with concern, "What happened? Did something happen? Were those two bullying you?"
With Red Fruit’s help, Liu Ye sat up, rubbing her elbow, and said, "No... It’s not ... I accidentally overheard their conversation, I must hurry and tell the tribal chief..."
Red Fruit nodded, "Can you still walk? Be careful ..."
