Chapter 645: Chapter 648: Have They Come Back?
The tribe members were all speculating. What had triggered him?
Xi’en’s entire skin had not a speck left unscathed, and Saint Ya only stopped beating him when she was tired. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
It was said that when Xi’en was carried out of Saint Ya’s cave, blood was constantly flowing down his body, dyeing a large area of the lawn red. This was evident of the severity in which the tribal chief had lashed out.
The tribespeople all found it unbearable to watch, and were becoming more and more perplexed about Saint Ya’s intentions.
Despite forbidding anyone from uttering a word against Xi’en, she was the very one who had beaten Xi’en until he was in this state.
Fortunately, the superpower of the Ming Deer Beastmen was wood-based. They could extract some special elements from it to speed up the healing of wounds.
Just overnight, although Xi’en’s wounds were yet to heal, most of them had already scabbed over.
Thus, when he stood in front of Gaiyin and others with full vigour, everyone was greatly astonished.
Seeing the blood-stained wound on Xi’en’s body, Su Tang cautiously asked, "Are you sure you don’t want to rest in the tribe? We can go there ourselves."
Xi’en merely shook his head, "This is nothing. I’ve been more seriously injured before, it’s okay. I’ll lead you to the cave, resting there is the same."
Unable to dissuade him, they had no choice but to go with him.
At the Canyon Cave—
Chi Yu had been waiting there early and his eyes lit up when he saw Yadang and the others coming.
"You’ve finally arrived. Shall I take you there now?"
Yadang’s breathing unconsciously quickened. He nodded, "Okay."
Chi Yu could not hide his smirk. As he passed Xi’en, he noticed his injured body. His steps faltered. He asked in a somewhat cold tone, "Did your mom beat you again?"
Xi’en did not answer Chi Yu’s question. He gave a faint smile and then sat down in the cave, "I will wait for you here."
Chi Yu took a deep look at him but did not ask anything more, and was the first to leave the cave.
On the way, Su Tang asked curiously, "What did the Sky Fox Clan Chief mean just now? Does the Ming Deer Clan Chief often beat Xi’en?"
Chi Yu’s face was slightly strange. He nodded, "I’m not very clear about the specifics. It seems that Xi’en’s father died because of him, which caused a deep shock to Saint Ya. On one hand, she loves him very much and can’t allow anyone to badmouth him. On the other hand, she always beats him harshly."
Su Tang sighed. She was gradually starting to feel sympathy for Xi’en. Having such a mother was both a blessing and a curse for him.
No wonder he was determined to leave the Xixili Flatland with them.
...
Sky Fox Tribe.
Suo Long tried to keep his back straight, his fingers were intertwined nervously. He paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave, hiding his inner anxiety through constant movement.
Inside the cave, Jin Se would occasionally ask, "Along, have Ayu and the others come back yet?"
Suo Long shook his head and replied softly, "Not yet."
A few moments later, Jin Se asked again, "Haven’t they come back yet?"
Suo Long still shook his head, "No."
After a while, Jin Se said again, "They should be back now, right?"
Not showing a hint of impatience, Suo Long gave a faint smile, "Not yet. Don’t worry, Ayu said he will definitely be back today, let’s just wait patiently."
