Chapter 114: Meeting

After the two females left, Mu Qing at some point slipped behind Yun Li and embraced her from behind.

"What are you doing?"

It was the first time Yun Li had seen Mu Qing so abruptly hug her from behind, and he even, while she wasn't looking, coiled his snake tail around her leg.

"A Li, I want to kiss you."

When Mu Qing said this, his voice was already tinged with desire, yet he still asked for her opinion.

Yun Li couldn't help but feel moved; her mother had once told her that only someone who truly loves her would keep seriously spoken words in their heart.

Those who don't love her, or don't love enough, will never hear her words no matter how much she says.

It was like her grandfather, who only after waiting for her grandmother's severe illness realized he could no longer be without her, and in his early forties, while still relatively robust, began learning to love someone and to care about everything his grandmother cared about.

"I also want to kiss you now."

After saying that, Yun Li turned, raised her hand, and proactively kissed him.

Mu Qing reached out, grasped the female's nape, and forcefully deepened and prolonged the kiss.

Until a series of increasingly loud chopping sounds came from behind, and they reluctantly separated.

Yun Li buried her head in Mu Qing's arms, calming her rapid breathing, but as the chopping sounds grew faster, she couldn't help it, hugging Mu Qing tighter and letting out a muffled laugh.

Then the chopping sound stopped abruptly, replaced by Leng Xiao's angry shout, "Yun Li, if you don't come to sleep with me tonight, try it! Do you believe I will only make you grilled meat every day!"

Leng Xiao was insanely jealous; ever since the drought began, A Li's frequency of sleeping with Mu Qing had increased steadily.

How could they, having just formed a Mate Bond, already start despising him and his brother?

They and she have several wolf cubs; even if she despises them, she can't discard them.

Yun Li poked her head out of Mu Qing's arms and said, "Then get ready tonight. You and Mu Qing together."

Her waist, which had just instinctively tightened around her arm, suddenly relaxed, and a gentle kiss landed on her forehead, followed by a low "mm".

Leng Xiao let out a light hum and said nothing; after Yun Li asked him to prepare hot water for the night, he had just finished lunch and boiled it.

So when Yun Li went to see Ya and the other two in the afternoon, it was already evening.

Upon seeing Yun Li, Ya immediately pushed away the male who was about to lower his head to kiss her, then rushed to Yun Li's side, asking with shock and worry:

"A Li, you were also kidnapped? How could they do this? It's too much! How can the beastfolk of the Youbuluo do this!"

Seeing her get angrier and even glare at Zhang Yue, Yun Li quickly grabbed her and said, "I wasn't kidnapped by them; I came with my Beast Husband. How are you doing here?"

She had just seen her almost kiss that male, so she thought it should still be okay, right?

Ya then saw Leng Xiao behind her as well, and, unable to believe, asked, "Really?"

Seeing Yun Li nod, she added, a bit puzzled, "But why did you come here? Aren't you afraid…"

Concerned that Zhang Yue and the snake male she had already taken a liking to were present, she didn't speak too plainly.

Yet even so, the male who had just been smiling suddenly fell into a stern expression.

"What's wrong here? Speak up—have you not been doing well these past few days? Did my brother and I treat you badly?"

"Being good is useless; if you hadn't kidnapped me, I could have been fine in the Silver Eagle Tribe!"

Although Ya cared a bit about that male, she wouldn't swallow his sarcastic remarks just because of that, and she was shocked to see the male daring to give her a cold shoulder.

The anger in her heart flared up rapidly!

Did she say something wrong?

That's how it is; if they hadn't kidnapped her, she would now be fine in the Silver Eagle Tribe, instead of having to wait here each day, hoping they'd bring her some surprise.

The more Ya thought, the more her gaze at the male turned cold.

And the male, seeing her eyes that had softened, reverted to the way they were when he first saw her.

His heart suddenly grew cold as well.

"If that's the case, then if you have the ability, just leave!"

The male's words were a spur‑of‑the‑moment outburst, but before Ya could glare and argue, Yun Li suddenly spoke:

"Ya, I just forgot to mention, I came to the Youbuluo this time to take you, A Han, and A Yu away."

Ya's eyes reddened as she looked at Yun Li, her gaze full of disbelief, "A Li, what… what are you saying?"

"I made a trade with the Youbuluo chieftain for two skills; in a few days we'll all return to the Silver Eagle Tribe."

Ya was bewildered by Yun Li's words, "Really, can we go home now?"

The male, upon hearing that, instantly became agitated, "Ya, don't listen to her nonsense. If you're leaving, does that mean you and my brother are…?"

"Shut up! Do you even have the right to speak now?"

Ya snapped at him, "Did I ever promise you I'd stay in the Youbuluo? Even if I wanted you, I still wouldn't…"

She still has two cubs and other Beast Husbands; how could she spend her whole life in the Youbuluo?

Seeing the male's expression freeze, Ya wanted to say something, but Zhang Yue spoke up at that moment:

"Yu Dian, return to your Patrol Team; you have no business here anymore. Don't come back in the future."

Everyone is leaving; rather than let him linger here and gain nothing, it's better to drive him away now.

Yu Dian said nothing, staring steadily at Ya, "Do you really not want us anymore?"

Ya's face tightened, "I don't know."

Internally she was also confused; a few days weren't enough for her to truly care about the two brothers.

She knew clearly she was initially attracted by looks, and also wanted to live well in the Youbuluo.

"Ha! Same again!"

Yu Dian wore a thick self‑mocking smile, as if accustomed to being rejected by females; after saying that, he turned and left.

Only Ya remained behind, staring at his departing direction, feeling uneasy and wondering what his "same again" meant.

Did they pursue many females, get rejected by others, and finally only have to chase after him?

Not mentioning Ya's sudden flood of random thoughts, Yun Li glanced at where they lived, then pulled…

"A Han and A Yu?"

When she mentioned the two of them, Ya instantly came back to herself and replied, "They're inside the house; I just said it was a place for me and Yu Dian to be alone."

But now it seems unnecessary, after all she won't stay here any longer.

It's a bit of a pity; Yu Dian and Yu Yu are truly good‑looking. Even though they're Snake Beastmen, she thinks that as long as she doesn't see their beast bodies, forming a Mate Bond with them would be absolutely fine.

"They probably don't have any males they like here, right?"

Having seen Ya and Yu Dian's situation, Yun Li thinks it's also necessary to learn about the romantic lives of the other two females here.

"If there are any, the Silver Eagle Tribe wouldn't accept Snake Beastmen, so they could only live apart, or they might want to stay in Youbuluo and have their Beast Husbands come over to live together."
