Chapter 154: Call Mu Qing Along

Only, Yun Li's gaze fell on the clearly protruding lump behind Leng Xiao's shorts.

The next second, she silently averted her eyes; indeed she wasn't cut out for design, she couldn't even copy from a picture.

But you can't blame her; how could she know that a missing zip component would cause such a flaw.

"A Li, you despise me?"

Leng Xiao, seeing her avert her eyes, instantly became displeased, stepped forward, grabbed the female, placed her on the wooden table, and then leaned his upper body over.

Yun Li was forced to lean back, a look of embarrassed anger on her face, "What are you doing? We agreed not to lay a hand on each other?"

Leng Xiao's breath sprayed onto her neck, his voice laced with a deliberately teasing lure, "Hmm, I won't move you, you come."

His shirt was untied, exposing his bare chest.

Yun Li, seeing it, wanted to press her forehead again; although Uncle Ge Li had deliberately thickened the shirt, under Leng Xiao's overly full chest muscles it still appeared somewhat thin.

"A Li"

The male, seeing she made no move, lowered his head, brushed his lips against the corner of her mouth, and kissed her lightly like a dragonfly skimming water, "Am I no longer attractive to you?"

Yun Li: …

"Let go of your hand!"

Seeing his kiss wasn't enough, he grabbed his own hand and placed it by his mouth, gently kissing fingertip to fingertip.

Yun Li's face turned a deep red; this was originally Leng Xiu's bed seduction routine, but who knew A Xiao had copied it.

This is deadly!

Before, the male always did these things hastily, liked being direct, but now he had become this lowly, deliberately seductive demeanor, and Yun Li felt her consciousness being slowly corroded.

"Hmm…"

Soon, a low, muffled hum from the male sounded inside the house.

When Yun Li emerged from the house, her complexion had returned to normal, but Leng Xiao, who had stuck with her into the house earlier, was nowhere to be seen.

The several males in the courtyard all wore different expressions; Ke Si examined Yun Li as if she were a strange creature, Ji Xuan's face was also odd, but most were still puzzled.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Is Leng Xiao feeling unwell?"

Yun Li gave a "hm" sound, "No, he's just tidying up some things at home."

That wasn't wrong; the dirty items all needed to be replaced.

Chang Yue originally guessed that something must have happened since they'd stayed inside so long; the things they said when they entered were so provocative that they sparked wild speculation.

But Yun Li looked as if nothing had happened, so perhaps he was overthinking.

"Cough"

Chang Yue cleared his throat lightly, "Silver Eagle Young Master just mentioned spotting traces of wandering Beastmen near the tribe; A Li, do you still remember being ambushed by a group of wandering Beastmen, which caused your injury?"

"Of course I remember."

It hasn't been long, how could she forget?

Yun Li looked at Ji Xuan, "Did the Patrol Team's Beastmen find those wandering Beastmen?"

"It wasn't the Patrol Team's Beastmen who found them," Mu Qing said matter-of-factly from beside, "It was a Hunting Squad that happened upon them while hunting."

However, the Beastmen of that Hunting Squad initially didn't realize they were wandering Beastmen, so they were chased away.

"But according to the information they provided, the Patrol Team has already dispatched Beastmen to search there; results should come soon."

Ji Xuan spoke of his arrangements, then asked Yun Li what details she remembered from the day she was injured.

"A Li, on the day you were injured, did you see what those wandering Beastmen looked like?"

Yun Li shook her head, "They first sent a pack of wolves to follow us, then shot arrows from afar; I never saw any Beastmen from start to finish."

But…'

She recalled something she knew before, "The leader of those wandering Beastmen is a half-beastman, likely very strong; two Qing Rank Beastmen went after him and couldn't catch up."

She didn't know whether that half-beastman might be a Blue Rank Beastman.

But she couldn't state it outright, after all there was no evidence.

Only the two Qing Rank Beastmen couldn't catch the half-beastman leader; even if he wasn't a Blue Rank Beastman, his strength wouldn't be less than that of Qing Rank Beastmen.

Ji Xuan nodded slightly, "I know that; if we get news in a few days, I'll personally go capture that half-beastman."

"Why not call Mu Qing along?"

Leng Xiu suddenly interjected, "If two Blue Rank Beastmen work together, and that half-beastman truly is a powerful Blue Rank Beastman, it would be more prudent for both of you to act together."

Mu Qing looked at Leng Xiu in surprise but didn't refute him; although he was the family's First Beast Husband, the strongest in the house, when it came to thinking about these matters, he indeed wasn't as sharp as Leng Xiu.

Ji Xuan frowned, "Even if that half-beastman is a Blue Rank Beastman, I, a single Beastman, can take him down."

That was his confidence in his own strength.

"I know, but I want to know why he wants to kill A Li."

Leng Xiu looked at Ji Xuan, his tone unhurried, "Your strength is indeed great; even if Mu Qing faced you, he might not be your match."

But if he discovers you're the one chasing him, he would flee instead of fight. Do you intend to chase him forever, and how would you know after how many days you'd finally catch him?

If Mu Qing goes with you, he can support you from behind in capturing him; even if you can't catch him, could you not jointly wound him?

Ji Xuan, hearing the last words, instantly understood Leng Xiu's meaning; merely because that half-beastman harbored malice toward A Li, it's best not to give him another chance to hurt Yun Li.

Capturing him is obviously best; if you can't, injuring him severely or killing him works too, so that half-beastman will have no chance to harm later. The worst outcome is he escapes, but then the wandering Beastmen around him are dead.

In short, Mu Qing must go on this trip.

Ji Xuan thought for a moment, then to Mu Qing, "When we have news, I'll have someone inform you."

There's no need to call others from the start; among the Eagle Beastmen there are swift falcon Beastmen who, at a critical moment, can summon Mu Qing to lend a hand.

That would also achieve Leng Xiu's goal.

【9】 Mu Qing had no objection, "I won't leave the house these days; even if I have to go out, it'll only be hunting in the wasteland."

Mu Qing had no opinion, "I haven't been going out these days, even if I have to go out, I'll only hunt in that wasteland."

Ji Xuan nodded, indicating he understood.

At that moment Chang Yue spoke again, "If you capture someone and need help prying his mouth open, you can come find me."

The Witch Doctor's new poison in his hand has always been well suited for hard‑mouthed beastmen.

Ji Xuan glanced at Chang Yue, then flicked his peripheral gaze at Ke Si, clearly aware of how deadly Ke Si's poison is, and without refusing said, "If we need anything, we'll come to you."

Ke Si let out a silent, light chuckle, thinking that these beastmen really acted as if he didn't exist.

In fact, because he stayed silent, indeed no one would care what thoughts he had after hearing those words.

Because Ke Si was almost ready to carve the words "Leave him alone" onto his face; he truly didn't seem like the kind of beastman who would speak carelessly.

Of course, he and Chang Yue are both Snake Beastmen of the Youbuluo, so even if they told others, whether the Silver Eagle Tribe's beastmen would pay them any heed remains an unknown.

Not to mention this matter also involves the tribe's Young Master; even if some tribe beastmen heard these words from them, their desire to protect their own Young Master makes the chance of spreading it outward even lower.

Yun Li hadn't forgotten that this morning Ji Xuan and the others came to her house to ask Leng Xiao about the disappearance of the male members of the Lanxiang family, "How's the Lanxiang case going? Have they found anyone?"
