Chapter 296: Chapter 297: You Idiot, You’ve Run the Wrong Way
Wen Jue extended a finger, and the golden prison cage turned into specks of golden light and dissipated. Then, a golden thread emerged from his fingertip, intelligently coiling around Yali’s ankle.
"Let’s go!"
The unconscious Yali was dragged on the ground by the two of them towards Upper Beast City.
On their way, the two made no attempt to hide, even talking and laughing, quickly drawing the attention of the Beast Soldiers.
At first, everyone just took some notice, attracted by the exceptional appearance of Wen Jue and Ye Qiao, and were somewhat taken aback.
But once a Beast Soldier clearly saw the unidentified object being dragged behind Wen Jue, he panicked!
"Hey, look, doesn’t that look like our young master?"
Another Beast Soldier squinted at it for a while and nodded uncertainly, "It seems so..."
The remaining Beast Soldier, who was the squad leader, gave both Beast Soldiers a slap and roared furious, "What do you mean ’seems?’ That IS our young master! Idiots, why aren’t you reporting this to the city lord? And getting our young master back?!"
Beast Soldier Squads typically consisted of five soldiers, unfortunately, Ge Luo had offended the young master a while back and was demoted to slave and then escaped. Another Beastman was injured while on patrol, so their squad was temporarily down to three people.
The Beast Soldier Squad Leader cursed his bad luck. Why did he always stumble into trouble?
The Beastman who first discovered Yali covered his face and promised, "I will, I will go back for reinforcements right now!"
With that, he scrambled off in utter panic.
The squad leader cursed behind him, "You idiot, the city is that way, you’re running in the wrong direction!"
The Beast Soldier appeared weak, but who knew he could run faster than a Long-eared Beast!
Thus, because of the Squad Leader’s loud voice, the location of the remaining two was revealed.
Beast Soldier: "...."
Squad Leader: "...."
Looking at Wen Jue and Ye Qiao, who suddenly appeared before them, the Squad Leader quickly realized they were no match for the pair.
Ye Qiao did offer a friendly smile, but it did not reach his eyes, "Did any cute cubs show up in the Upper Beast City recently? The beautiful kind."
The Squad Leader swallowed hard, cautiously asking back, "New cubs, yes, there are some. Are you talking about ones from the Zhaoying Tribe or the Antelope Tribe?"
"Forget the Antelope and Zhaoying, the little cub is about this tall, has bright silver hair, and is as handsome as him. Have you seen him?"
The Beastmen and the Squad Leader shook their heads, entirely confused about what Ye Qiao was talking about.
Ye Qiao became slightly irritated. He summoned two small hammers, knocked out both Beastmen in the same manner, looked at them, and then glanced at Yali behind him.
He decisively kicked those two Beastmen into nearby bushes and said to Wen Jue, "These two seem so low-ranking. We should only bring him."
Lord Wen Jue obediently nodded, "Okay! Sure!"
Ye Qiao spoke sternly, "Can’t you say anything but these two words? You’re such a brooder. Why did I fall for you anyway? The big cub is gone, and the small cub is lost. If we can’t find the small cub, I am divorcing you!"
Wen Jue grabbed Ye Qiao’s hand, "Don’t be afraid! We will definitely find him!"
