Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Upper Beast City 2
Fengyin nodded affirmatively from the side, "Exactly, look at what he’s wearing. Although it’s somewhat worn out, it should be clear that it’s linen, right? In Upper Beast City, it’s only the city lord who can afford to wear so much linen!"
These words of Fengyin eased Bai Zheng’s mind considerably, and he felt extremely satisfied. He couldn’t help but raise his noble head and assume his self-important air of a young tribe master.
The squad leader of the Beast Soldiers wore a skeptical face.
What Bai Zheng wore was indeed not beast skin, although it was somewhat dirty, it did seem to be linen!
His previously defiant attitude subsided significantly, and he behaved respectfully, "If this is the case, could you please wait here for a moment while I inform the city lord!"
Seeing the squad leader of the Beast Soldiers leave, Bai Zheng’s heart gradually settled down.
As long as he could see Keli, he would be able to confirm his identity and even ask Keli to deploy Beast Soldiers to escort him back to the Kingdom!
By then, it wouldn’t be about dealing with a single Winged Tiger Tribe, rather he could handle ten of them without fail!
As Bai Zheng was daydreaming, a clamor broke out behind him.
"Clear the way! Don’t block the path; do you know who this is? Move out of the way!"
Bai Zheng looked back to see a group of Beast Soldiers escorting a young beastman of average height who wore linen clothes and an arrogant expression.
Both Beastmen and Beast Soldiers who were on the road retreated and made way for them as they approached.
Before Bai Zheng could react, he was nudged by one of the Beast Soldiers, "Step aside and let the young master pass first!"
Bai Zheng frowned but remained still!
Here in the Upper Beast City, his status was the most exalted. Why should he step aside for other beastmen?
His willingness to wait here humbly for Keli to greet him was already a big concession!
The Beast Soldier became quite anxious and hurriedly urged again, "Do you know who this is? This is the city lord’s beloved cub, Young Master Yali. If you offend him, you can forget about entering Upper Beast City. Please make way!"
Bai Zheng glanced at the Beast Soldier, withdrew his arm from his grip, dusted his sleeve, and coldly stood unmoved on the spot.
Seeing Bai Zheng unmoved by his persuasion, the Beast Soldier turned pleadingly to Fengyin, "You should try to convince him! Offending Young Master Yali is truly dreadful!"
Fengyin dutifully blocked the Beast Soldier and lifted his chin slightly, "What’s so special about Yali? Our young master is the most adored cub of the lord of the Ten Thousands Beast Country! Would he be afraid of Yali?"
An additional tinge of satisfaction appeared in Bai Zheng’s gaze towards Fengyin. He made up his mind to take Fengyin with him to the Ten Thousands Beast Country.
Meanwhile, Yali was getting closer and closer to them.
The Beast Soldier, feeling exasperated, stomped his foot and retreated to the side of the road, meekly lowering his head.
Bai Zheng, however, was looking directly at the city gate, quietly waiting for Keli’s reception.
"Who are you all? Why don’t you avoid our Young Master Yali? Didn’t you know our young master prefers peace and quiet?"
Bai Zheng didn’t even deign to look directly at Yali and his men, maintaining an air of indifference.
As a result, Yali’s attention was drawn to Bai Zheng.
Yali took a few steps closer, "Who are you? Didn’t you know you should pay your respects and make way when you see me? Judging by your looks, did you escape from the Wilderness? Not every beastman can enter Upper Beast City! We don’t welcome you here. Wherever you came from, go back!"
Yali was younger than Yadang and had been spoiled by the city lord these past years, which is why he spoke so bluntly.
