Chapter 105: Negotiation (Part 2)

Ke Si's movements were swift, and even Yun Li hadn't expected him to arrive so quickly.

The roasted meat hanging over the campfire had just begun to emit tempting wisps of aroma when Ke Si rushed over with Teng Fei and two listless females.

Seeing the two females behind Ke Si, Yun Li quickly stood up.

"A Qing, untie him."

Although Ke Si only brought two females, it's still better than being unable to rescue anyone.

Ke Si, seeing her being so perceptive, gave Teng Fei a signal.

Teng Fei immediately pushed the two females, "Aren't you coming over?"

Ya and Qu Cao, pushed and expression numb, suddenly began to weep when they saw Mu Qing and Leng Xiu standing behind Yun Li.

"Wuh~"

The two females wiped their tears and staggered toward Yun Li and the others; midway, Ya even fell once, and Qu Cao, pulling her, almost fell as well.

The two females simultaneously cast pleading looks toward Mu Qing and Leng Xiu.

"Mu Qing, my foot hurts."

Ya sniffled, looking at Mu Qing, hoping he would help her up.

Qu Cao also pleaded, bewildered, at the two indifferent males,

they had rescued them, yet why did they not come to help when they saw them fall?

As for Yun Li, they also saw her, but subconsciously they didn't want to pay her any mind; after all, they were in such misery while she had a male protecting her well.

Ya and Qu Cao couldn't help feeling a pang in their hearts.

Seeing them all staring at her females, Yun Li felt a flash of displeasure, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said coldly, "Stand up yourselves, come over. Don't expect my male to help you."

The two females seemed frightened by her words, but Yun Li had no such sympathy; their focus on her male while ignoring her actions annoyed her.

In the end, the Eagle Beastman who had reverted to human form to help saw the two females just sitting there and, being kind, walked over to support them both.

And regarding the Eagle Beastman's assistance, Ya and Qu Cao did not refuse.

But they felt aggrieved; even after walking past Yun Li and the others, knowing they had escaped the Youbuluo Snake Beastmen's clutches, they couldn't feel happy, instead casting a gloomy glance at the two males behind Yun Li, with a hint of resentment on their faces as they stared at Yun Li and the group.

Having no time to attend to the two females' affected behavior behind her, Yun Li gave Mu Qing a look, and just as Chang Yue was released by Mu Qing and the others, she suddenly called out:

"Wait, you didn't poison them, did you?"

Seeing the females cast doubtful glances at them, Teng Fei inhaled sharply, as no one had ever dared to suspect their Witch Doctor.

Ke Si's expression darkened, "Chang Yue!"

His voice was sibilant, like a poisonous snake coldly coiling around Chang Yue.

Chang Yue inhaled deeply, sneering at Yun Li, "Rest assured, our Witch Doctor hasn't yet resorted to such a poisonous act against the females."

Yun Li glanced at Ya and the others; though doubt lingered in her mind, she showed no outward sign.

"That's good then."

When they return, she'll ask the Witch Doctor to examine whether their bodies have any abnormalities.

Chang Yue saw that she had used him cleanly, yet his figure was still absent from her eyes.

A nameless fury flared in his heart, "Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

Yun Li, taken aback by his question, made a strange face, "... You want to hear what I have to say—an apology? Or do you think I'd feel guilty for binding you today?"

Perhaps she felt a bit guilty, but since she had already chosen this path, she might as well finish it, sparing herself the chance of being deceived again when she later considered using him.

That was perhaps the only way she could repay his sincere effort.

After all, a short pain is better than a lingering one.

Chang Yue's complexion darkened completely, "Yun Li!"

He wanted to ask whether she truly had a heart!

But Mu Qing and Leng Xiu swiftly shielded their females behind them, "What do you intend to do?"

Ke Si watched the scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave Teng Fei a look.

Teng Fei immediately slipped back, and Leng Xiu, noticing Ke Si's side suddenly empty, quietly pushed Yun Li toward Mu Qing.

"What, you want to make a move!"

Leng Xiu's gaze was icy as it fixed on Ke Si.

Ke Si's lips curled into a cold smile, "Do you think the two of you can stop us?"

"Chang Yue!"

Hearing that, Chang Yue's gaze lingered on Yun Li, then in the next instant, he reverted to beast form.

Leng Xiu likewise did not hesitate to shift back to beast form, leaping forward.

But just as they engaged, Ke Si heard a sudden clatter from behind.

"Boom!"

Teng Fei suddenly fell to the ground, Ke Si's eyes darkened, and in an instant he transformed into a massive Black Mamba, its tail coiling around Teng Fei before lunging straight at Leng Xiu and Chang Yue.

Yun Li, startled by the chain of events and seeing Leng Xiu's body being knocked away, couldn't help but exclaim, "A Xiu!"

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Gong Mei's voice came from not far away, and before she finished speaking, a sharp arrow was swiftly shot, but when it struck the Black Mamba, only a harsh scraping sound was heard.

Gong Mei, seeing the arrow ineffective, was about to revert to beast form and try to block, when Yun Li's intervening words rang out, "A Mei, let them go!"

Yun Li's purpose today was solely to rescue people, not to forge a feud with Ke Si and his group.

Moreover, if she truly provoked that Blue Rank Beastman, she and the two newly rescued females would become a burden; Mu Qing, also a Blue Rank Beastman, would have to protect them, clearly beyond his strength.

The situation would then become extremely unsightly.

"Let them go!"

Gong Mei still remembered that her male had been injured by Ke Si, and was somewhat unwilling to let that Witch Doctor go so easily, but Ji Xuan, sharing Yun Li's view, said, "If this escalates, it will draw beastmen from both tribes, and A Li only wants to save people, not make enemies with them."

Hearing this explanation, Gong Mei frowned slightly.

And in the time it took them to say those few sentences, the Black Mamba had already taken the person and the cobra that had transformed into a longer form and quickly left the region.

Seeing that Ke Si and the others finally left, Yun Li couldn't spare a glance at Gong Mei and Ji Xuan, and hurried over to Leng Xiu, "Ah Xiu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I wasn't injured."

Leng Xiu was only taken by surprise when Ke Si bumped into him; at most his Qi surged, a bruise likely appeared on his back, and it really wasn't a serious problem.

He thought that the Witch Doctor was probably in a hurry to leave, which is why he hadn't taken harsh action against him.

But Yun Li was overthinking it, because she remembered that in modern times, after a car accident one must pay attention to people who appear fine, and Ah Xiu had just been struck by that huge snake, which was roughly the same impact as a car crash.

Therefore she didn't fully believe Leng Xiu's words, and whispered to him, "No matter what, we should still go back and see the Witch Doctor."

It was convenient, since they were already planning to ask the Witch Doctor to examine the condition of those two females, so they could check together then.

"Alright, as you say."

Leng Xiu patted her hand and said.

Although he thought it unnecessary, seeing how nervous she was and feeling that if this would calm her, then let her go.
