Chapter 162: Ji Chen Comes to the Door Seeking Cooperation

~7 min read 1,305 words

Regardless of what Ji Xuan and Leng Xiao thought upon hearing Mu Qing's words, in front of Yun Li, Mu Qing is her First Beast Husband.

He already said it that way, so Ji Xuan and Leng Xiao naturally won't contradict him.

"I understand."

The usually stern Ji Xuan showed a gentle expression and said, "It won't happen again next time."

Just by looking at his performance today, the credibility of that statement is immediately greatly reduced.

Mu Qing is skeptical about this, but Leng Xiao bluntly retorts to Ji Xuan, "So, does that mean you will never take A Li outside again?"

Ji Xuan nods, "If A Li doesn't initiate, I will never take A Li outside to do those things again."

"Hehe!"

Leng Xiao, hearing him say that, immediately let out a 'hehe'.

All of them are unrepentant males, who doesn't know who?

If A Li doesn't take the initiative, wouldn't he just tempt A Li to become proactive?

Mu Qing lowered his voice, "Regardless, you must prioritize A Li's body."

"No need for you to say that; I only gave A Li two kisses just now, and did nothing else.

"A Li, tell me if I'm right or not?"

Hearing Leng Xiao still ask her if it's correct, Yun Li, cradled in Mu Qing's arms, couldn't help rolling her eyes; he only gave a few kisses, but the problem is he kissed the wrong places.

Therefore she ignored Leng Xiao's remark and whispered, "I always listen to A Qing."

Anyway, that's all for today, and she doesn't want her small body to be burdened any further.

With Yun Li's support, Mu Qing glanced at the other two males and said:

"I'll take care of A Li tonight."

Leng Xiao suddenly couldn't laugh.

Ji Xuan had no objection; in a couple of days will be his and A Li's Pairing Ceremony, and A Li wouldn't let him, a Beast Husband, sit in the courtyard for a whole night.

Once you get a feel for A Li's temperament, establishing a foothold in this house isn't difficult.

…

On the other side, a half-beastman meditating with eyes closed on a tree suddenly sensed something and swiftly flipped and leapt down.

The next moment, an arrow slammed into the branch, shaking it so that leaves at the tips kept falling.

"Who is it!"

As the half-beastman descended, several arrows rushed at him; after scrambling to dodge, his gaze turned fierce toward the newcomer.

Once he saw the newcomer clearly, his complexion instantly darkened, "Miduo!"

She came here to take revenge on her?

Realizing this, the half-beastman covertly slipped his hand behind his back.

"It's me; you really can hide!"

Miduo showed no concealment of her hatred toward the male before her; she resented the half-beastman for having crippled her limbs while helping Ji Chen, and even now her injuries have not healed, perhaps never will.

He should die! Ji Chen should die even more!

After killing this half-beastman, she'll kill Ji Chen.

The two of them, neither should think they can escape!

The arrows were fired again; this time the half-beastman was prepared, and Miduo failed to succeed.

But what Miduo prepared for the half-beastman today was more than just this.

"A Chang! What are you still hesitating about?! Will you betray me again?"

Miduo knew that because of her injured limbs she couldn't possibly defeat this half-beastman, but it didn't matter; she had only come to see whether the half-beastman was truly as Ji Chen described.

Since it was now confirmed that he was here, her priority was to entangle him before he left, waiting for the Patrol Team beastmen to arrive, then see where he could still escape to!

A Chang, who had already blocked the half-beastman's path, remained silent; he came with a resolve to die.

As Miduo said, he had already betrayed her once; he couldn't betray her a second time.

Otherwise, A Duo would never ever forgive him.

A sharp eagle's cry rang out; the half-beastman's face turned cold as he stared at the golden eagle, its feathers wild, also trying to block him, and a strong malice subtly rose in his brows.

"Screech"

The mournful, sharp eagle's cry echoed in the air for a long time.

When the Patrol Team beastmen arrived, they were a step too late; Miduo and A Chang's joint effort to leave a half-beastman who was already a Blue Rank Beastman proved evidently very difficult.

A Chang was nearly mortally wounded; seeing this, the Patrol Team beastmen quickly carried the person back to the Tribe.

Hearing the male mutter "Miduo" even while unconscious, the Patrol Team beastmen felt a pang of sorrow, for Miduo was also badly wounded, yet she was at least still awake; seeing her Beast Husband still thinking of her while unconscious, her expression showed not a hint of emotion, but grew even more indifferent.

If Miduo's hatred on her face weren't so genuine, even with severe injuries she would have gritted her teeth and forced the Patrol Team beastmen to find that half-beastman and kill him.

They still thought Miduo didn't care about her Beast Husband at all.

"Don't worry, we've already sent someone to inform the Young Master; once the Young Master arrives, we'll definitely capture that half-beastman to avenge you and your Beast Husband."

Even though night is falling, for the Tribe's safety the Patrol Team beastmen are prepared to continue searching nearby to hunt that half-beastman.

Miduo, full of resentment, was sent back to the Tribe by the Patrol Team beastmen, but with her injuries she dared not return home, fearing that Ji Chen, who knew of her deeds, would poison and kill her.

So that night she and A Chang both slept at Silver Grandma's house, with Jiao Jiao taking care of her Beast Husband throughout the night.

It was precisely because of Miduo's actions that night, Ji Xuan, who had just returned hearing news of a half-beastman, hurriedly greeted Yun Li and the Priest, and together with Mu Qing left the Tribe overnight to rendezvous with the Patrol Team still outside.

…

Yun Li had little objection to the Tribe postponing her and Ji Xuan's Pairing Ceremony; she was merely worried why Ji Chen suddenly showed up at her door the next day.

"Just say whatever you have to say directly!"

Yun Li truly disliked Ji Chen, even though he had painted his half-blind eye with some unknown pigment beautifully; now the whole Beastman looked even more eerily enchanting than before.

But in her heart, besides impatience, only a restless murderous urge remained.

She wants to kill him, to avenge Leng Xiu and her cubs!

"A Li, you really are straightforward."

Even Ji Chen is like this; now, facing Yun Li and Leng Xiu by her side, he actually even manages to smile.

At this sight, not only Yun Li and Leng Xiu, even Leng Xiao can't help but frown.

"Fine, then I'll be blunt."

Seeing the cold, indifferent expression on Yun Li's face that seemed to say "Speak quickly if you have something to say, otherwise get lost", Ji Chen felt a flash of displeasure, but soon smiled and began to state the purpose of his visit today.

"I heard you, A Li, are teaching others how to make clothing from a certain plant; I'm also very interested, so I thought I'd come to discuss a cooperation with you."

The moment Ji Chen mentioned wanting to cooperate with her, Yun Li instantly doubted she had heard correctly.

In her eyes, their family and Ji Chen are in a life‑or‑death rivalry.

So the enemy shows up at the door, yet asks for cooperation.

"You? Cooperation?"

Yun Li, with an irritated smile, said, "There's no way our family could cooperate with you; you must be thinking too much."
