Chapter 540: Chapter 541: Meeting Yali Again
Su Tang reached out and patted Qiu Mo’s head. Such a good-natured little cutie!
However, she could guess why Yadang’s mood had changed.
Once Gaiyin returned and saw Qiu Mo, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows. During the brief moment when he went to scout ahead, this little mermaid had quickly moved back to Tangtang’s side.
The moment Qiu Mo saw Gaiyin, she immediately scuttled to her brother’s side, making faces at Su Tang, indicating that she would go back to her once Gaiyin had left.
Su Tang laughed, shaking her head helplessly.
Xi then spoke, "Upper Beast City is just ahead. It is one of the subsidiary cities of the Ten Thousands Beast Country. The city’s lord is the younger brother of the King of the kingdom, Keli. The city has rooms to accommodate foreign species. We can rest there for a night and then leave." 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Qiu Mo was the first to agree, "Okay!"
Of course, Su Tang had no objections either.
Xi then turned his gaze to Yadang, "Yadang, what do you think?"
Yadang’s face was dark, and he radiated a chilling aura. His eyes held a myriad of complex emotions.
Gaiyin was also in the know. He slapped Yadang on the shoulder, "What’s the matter? Scared that we won’t be able to fight?"
Su Tang stood beside him, her voice firm. "Don’t be scared! We’ll walk back upright and blind those jerks. If anyone dares to start trouble, we’ll make sure they don’t return!"
Yadang’s gaze flickered and without a word, he took the lead and started walking towards Upper Beast City.
Gaiyin and Su Tang exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
Qiu Mo looked at Xi with a clueless expression, "Big Brother, what were they talking about just now? I didn’t understand."
Xi rubbed Qiu Mo’s head in response, albeit irrelevantly, "Let’s go, hurry and follow them!"
...
Yali marched proudly around the outskirts of Upper Beast City with a few beast soldiers.
Having been cooped up in the cave for a long time during the cold season, he couldn’t wait to get out and stretch his legs now that the weather was warming up.
As he wandered, he found himself at the spot where he was knocked unconscious by a crazy woman with superpowers when he was out by himself last time.
Yali’s face immediately darkened.
Hmmm, the incident from last time was the most humiliating moment of his life. Being treated like that in front of many tribespeople truly tarnished his dignity as a young city master!
Moreover, in that accident, Young Master Bai Zheng of the kingdom was kidnapped by the crazy woman. His father was scared and did not dare to report the incident to the King, fearing his anger would be redirected at Upper Beast City.
Therefore, his father issued a strict order. They all swore an oath to the Beast God that none of them would reveal this incident. Whoever violated it would be subjected to the severest divine punishment!
But his father was still very scared. Since the warm season began, the number of patrols around Upper Beast City had doubled, and he wasn’t allowed to go far away for long.
A Beast Soldier kindly reminded, "Young Master, this place is getting quite remote. We should head back."
Yali arrogantly glanced at the Beast Soldier, "Am I the Young Master or are you? Do you need to remind me? Useless!"
The Beast Soldier quickly shut his mouth and hung his head in silence.
Yali felt like he had punched into a cotton bed, causing no ripple, which made him feel powerless.
"Useless, I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?"
Yali walked up to the Beast Soldier and gave him a push. He didn’t expect the Beast Soldier to be so firmly grounded that he couldn’t be budged at all. On the contrary, he himself staggered back a couple of steps.
